> In most countries in Europe (certainly in the UK, and other places I have visited), pedestrians have a separate crossing phase to the rest of traffic.

I don't have numbers but I think this is the other way around: UK is the exception while most of Europe have pedestrians cross with turning traffic.

As a pedestrian I prefer the "normal" way of sharing the crossing with turning cars. In UK you'll have to wait for a way too long time for the pedestrian green light, and as a result (?) people cross pretty regularly against the red light. This is the case for London at least -- could also be that people are just more impatient in such a crowded metropolis.

It is (at least after a certain young age). There's been a lot of research around this because the incentive is huge. Military has spent quite a bit of money on that too (IARPA). So far, science tells us that it is fixed. I mean, you can lower it with some brain injuries but you pretty much cannot increase it[1].

I know it ruins some American Dream ideas, people with IQ below 80 are pretty much not employable, but that's just how it is. Some people have much harder time achieving things that others do with ease and we don't know any way to help them. For some reason people see it in a very different light than e.g. somebody having some disease that he has to organize his life around it or e.g. being paralyzed.

Like so many others, you have discovered why you lost contact with these people to begin with. There is nothing that Facebook offers that improves the quality of those relationships - arguably, quite the contrary - so no reason to cling on to them beyond voyeurism.

This article has no substance. Its primary idea is that teens are moving away from social media, but lets look at how it actually backs that idea:

So there's 5 anecdotes from 5 teenagers, all describing their dislike/disuse of social media. I don't know about you, but I think I could get 5 teenagers to back basically any claim I wanted with stories if I asked enough of them. I'm not saying that gathering opinions of the target audience is a bad thing, but just that 5 hand-selected samples out of an incredibly diverse group of people may not be entirely representative or meaningful.

The only qualitative information presented here are the statistics, which I'll rattle off:

63% of British Schoolchildren in 2017 would be happy if social media was never invented according to a survey

A survey of 9000 internet users found that in 2016, 66% said social media was important to them, but only 57% in 2018

58% of US teenagers had taken a break from one social media platform

Facebook users aged 18-24 in Britain expected to fall 1.8% this year

41% of gen z teens said social media made them sad, anxious, or depressed

I think it's entirely possible that there is a large trend among Gen Z of moving away from social media, but I don't think these statistics or anecdotes do a good job backing the claim up.

I do agree with what you say. On the flip side of that, I also think Netflix has been greatly beneficial in offering the opportunity to both produce and distribute movies that would have had a hard time getting to market otherwise with the current studio oligarchy. Going away from the recommendation topic, this enhances the types of movies available, which is direly needed in the age of superhero dominance.
I agree that the piece is pretty vapid, but it's clearly labelled as an opinion piece so it's explicitly not reporting.

Yes and no... teenagers are pretty smart. If they think it's lame when their mum spends all weekend scrolling through her Facebook feed, they are going to recognise the same bad habits in themselves scrolling through their Snapchat feed. From talking to teens, it seems they are pretty aware of the harms of social media in general it's not just a matter of doing what their parents don't.
> First, on a population level IQ is very stable with age. Over a study of 87,498 Scottish children, age 11 IQ and adult IQ correlated at 0.66 [1], about as strong and impressive a correlation as you’ll ever find in the social sciences. But “correlation of 0.66” is also known as “only predicts 44% of the variance”. On an individual level, it is totally possible and not even that surprising to have an IQ of 100 at age 11 but 120 at age 30, or vice versa. Any IQ score you got before high school should be considered a plausible prediction about your adult IQ and nothing more.

I don't know what "prohibitvely expensive" is in your case, but there's a possibility today:

Grab one HiFive Unleashed for $999 [1]:

- 4 cores up to 1.5Ghz

- 8Gb DDR4 ECC Ram

- 1Gbps ethernet

Then grab one HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board for $1,999 [2]:

- SSD M.2 Connector

- SATA3 Connector

- x16 PCIE Connector (4 lanes of pcie2)

- A bunch of other cool stuff you wouldn't probably use (SPI, FPGA, etc.)

Finally grab some M.2 Drive and a graphics card ($500 maybe?).

This would set you back a grand total of $3500, which is definitely way more expensive than the current mainstream but may fit within "non-prohibitively expensive" for some. The whole platform should be open source [3].

Man I got off easy. I had an allergic reaction to Cipro, when I was in a state that I could barely move. It's been 3 years now and I've had nothing serious happen since then. I'm pretty scared though.
I have a lot of experience tutoring math in small classes to many students, including a couple who went on to earn gold medals in International Physics and Chemistry Olympiads. (I no longer teach due to my current research and startup work.)

I'd say your child would gain much more from having good private tutors you hand-pick from local schools/universities/private tutoring centers (depending on the level of your son's attainment and the qualifications of the teachers). Also, for certain subjects, you could be a great teacher yourself.

Even without taking pollution impact into account, using the hours saved from commuting in a very congested city to study one-on-one or in a small group would likely net a bigger gain than what quality difference there is between the good local school and a top school in the capital city. The key conditions are 1) having qualified tutors who fit with the student's personality and interests and 2) regular schedule so the student does not spend the extra hours playing mobile games instead.

Another key advantage is your child can use the best educational materials available on the Web, paid and free, such as Khan Academy, 3Blue1Brown, and the likes for learning. The presentations there are often head-and-shoulders above the techniques most school teachers typically use to explain concepts in class.

Edit: For a downvoter who I assume might disagree with the last paragraph, you need to go visit average schools in a developing country to see how the teaching is like.

The Stellar network is a new-ish blockchain network managed by https://www.stellar.org/

They provide a REST API for interacting with the network itself and JS/Go/Python/Java standard libraries that can be used. Of these, the JS library is the most developed which is why I picked it.

Using the standard stellar library to connect with stellar is secure and transparent enough. What the wallet does is encrypts and protects your account keys (which are what give you control over your accounts). It does this using `scrypt`(https://www.npmjs.com/package/scrypt) for PKDF and sodium (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tweetnacl) for the actual encryption. Having access to the code should show you that there are no backdoors built in, no information being sent across to any third-parties, and so on. This is what people care about when protecting their accounts.

Your second question is also very insightful. Creating accounts is at the heart of Stellar. You cannot start performing any transactions on the network without first creating an account. And, in order to create the account, it needs to be be funded. This is why the wallet allows you to create (and fund) a new account on the network. You can read more about it here: https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/get-started/create...
I find it interesting what turns people off from social media - I was massively into fb/twitter etc - but then one day I found them all terribly daunting and no longer a 'fun' place. Everything for me became 'competition', were my posts getting enough likes, did my pictures look 'good' enough, was I going on the expensive holidays and and buying the cars that my friends appeared it. Or it was full of competing political posts - as though sharing it was going to change my or my friends beliefs.

And so I left. And all those bits of 'micro bragging' carry on in the real world - but there you get the fuller picture, and when your friend tells you they have a new car you can see they really got it on HP/loan. The holiday was a credit card, etc. I spend a lot more time with my friends now, in person or on the phone - rather than just thinking I'd connected as I'd liked a post.

That all said I've lately got really into instragram again, precisely as you know that it is all artifice and art.

The manifesto states "There’s only going to be one core rule in the group, and it’s that if you attack a person’s character, rather than their ideas, you will be banned."

People whose ideas are on the wrong side of ethical will often say this sort of thing- as though the two things, a person's character and their ideas, are somehow not connected. I'm not sure where they get the idea that the ideas they support indicate a lot about their character, and they will be judged accordingly.

I think the thinking is that getting many years of education is desirable for almost everybody (it generally leads to better careers later in life, etc), but that only those who possess sufficient intelligence get the chance to pursue higher education.

So there's a high correlation, and it's much easier to measure than IQ.
Oh indeed. If your main reason to want to be professor is that you want to teach some classes and publish some papers then there are definitely options to do that via working in industry (depending of course a lot on your field). However if you actually want to be a professor and work full time within the university world, with all the pros and cons that brings, then it's very hard to do without a doctorate.

But I absolutely agree if you 'just' want to be involved with some research projects, publish a bit on the side and perhaps teach a few courses then there are many ways to reach that goal that don't involve becoming a professor.
I agree. In fact, I would go one better: Give me a button to click when I am actually shopping and interested in ads. I mentioned this before and someone said that Google had a store, but apparently it's pretty risky to try to buy stuff there.

I also thought this is something Duck Duck Go could implement to distinguish itself. It will result in a better experience for advertisers as clicks would be pre-qualified. It's the counter-move to Google's "quality score" which, when you think about it (or actually do advertising), is anti-pre-qualification.

What I mean is this: If people are just looking for information (free) and not wanting to buy, then if I put something in my ad that discourages people from clicking (by putting in a price, for example), then I get less clicks-per-display and my quality score goes down. However, only displaying these ads to people who are looking to buy would negate that.
I think you're overthinking this a bit. I don't think politicians prefer seeing their children suffering illness and premature death rather than pissing off lobbies. The real problem is that most people see the results of studies like this as something abstract, not as something that affects them directly. It's clearly visible with smokers: it's not that they are especially tolerant of dying a horrible death from lung cancer or a stroke (no one is), it's mostly that they don't really think it will happen to them (yes, I know it might be an imperfect analogy because physiological addiction also factors in... but I also know a smoker that found quitting "physically impossible" until he had a stroke, and survived. Once he had saw death's face, and the risk turned from abstract to very concrete, he quit smoking overnight).
London is really not that polluted. It rains too much to be very polluted. AQI is currently 88 in the worst areas. In China many cities are often 150-200 range. India is off the charts, my friend who makes commercial air quality sensor arrays said most sensor tech maxes out way below ambient Indian levels and readings cannot therefore be trusted - nobody knows how bad it is.

Wooclap - An online voting system, becomes free for K-12 schools
In an effort to make learning more efficient and enjoyable, Wooclap, the Belgian EdTech platform, that offers an audience response system using smartphones, will become free for K-12 schools to use, starting this September.

Since its foundation in 2015, Wooclap has helped pull education into the digital age by using smartphones for educational purposes, and with more than 40 000 teachers using the platform worldwide, the movement is picking up speed. By asking students to use their tools to ask and answer questions, the platform tries to direct their attention away from distractions, and towards the material they are being taught.

Given that this consequence seems to be unintended, it seems surprising that two companies this large couldn't/didn't find a way to test the effect ahead of time.
If you're forecasting at such a granular level 3 years in advance, your variances will be all over the place, which is not terribly useful to analyse. It won't be as per your example. It will be "I thought I'd hire one of person x, but instead ended up hiring 2 of person y, and delayed hiring z to compensate". The aggregate variance is what matters when you're doing a long term forecast.

A granular 12 month forecast is very useful for the reason you described, but we're discussing longer time horisons here.

I still think the vast majority of software engineers are either 1) Thankful (if they take a few minutes to consider the unique time in history in which they are employed) that given their relatively modest education investment, they are making the salaries they are. And these are probably your non-high-ranking-university CS majors, those without a college degree, L.A. majors, etc or 2) Graduates of top C.S. programs who are making really great salaries.

What real incentive do they have to unionize even along a professional path? I just don't see having their political views stifled at work to be a big motivator.

It's a cart/horse position problem. If we had to go to school for 7-10 years to be a doctor or lawyer, then of course, we'd want the protection and insurance of a professional licensing organization. But if I can make half the money of a doctor or lawyer without all the hassle, then why bother?

Well, there's also the fact that traditionally, if you quit a seishain (full time) job in Japan, you're seen as damaged goods (why else would you quit/be forced by your company to quit?) and it's exceedingly unlikely that another company would want to hire you. Obviously this is no longer true in the IT sphere, but in other industries this remains more or less the norm.

I think your anecdote there proves otherwise. That person was asked to act against their own interest and did it out of feebleness. They didn't gain anything in return, it was not a equitable exchange where e.g the boss paid out an additional bonus for the employee continuing to stay against their wish.

In a capitalist society, it is always workers vs employers. Do not mistake Japan's social cohesion for some kind of workplace utopia.

Scooters have become quite a bit more prevalent in recent years. Actually there was a link to this article at the bottom of TFA: https://www.vox.com/2018/8/27/17676670/electric-scooter-rent... .

Edit: Huh, I hadn't read the article yet; it appears not to be about moped-/motorcycle-like scooters as I expected (because there has been an increase in such scooters in the Netherlands in the last five to ten years or so), but about electrified kick scooters. (Dutch uses different words for each (scooter and step), so I had no idea about the double meaning.)
My kids are really into a couple online games.

The games are geared towards mixed levels of instant gratification and longer gratification, creating and maintaining an online character/persona, getting approval from peers as you climb the hierarchy of loot (character skins, rare items, etc.)

We limit their time and they are in other activities like sports which take time to develop skills.

Just be careful because some video games hire psychologists to help engineer a game to hit those neural pathways at the right intervals to get players to keep wanting to come back.

Getting really into video games can involve helping build a PC or maybe letting them create their own games.
