Reading to ones kids certainly correlates with good outcomes for kids but as far as I'm aware it isn't causal. The problem is that as soon as a piece of parenting advice becomes known all conscientious parents will start doing is disproportionately more and it will suddenly become correlated with good outcomes whether it was before or not. I believe that in this specific case, though, most of the correlation is through the nature rather than the nurture pathway.

But obviously reading together is a good in and of itself, regardless of its effects on life outcomes.
Pretty smart to put the fun stuff at the end so that everyone has to worry about everything in the middle.
I don't drink alcohol anymore and I didn't typically overdo it when I was drinking, I guess. However; when I was drinking alcohol, I'd always make sure to drink one glass of water for every two alcoholic drinks. I only remember having bad hangovers twice and in both cases, I didn't have access to water while drinking. Water has always been my "cure."

I think part of the benefit of drinking water was that I didn't drink as much alcohol because I'd get full, but I don't know. I never did any scientific study on it.
I'd speculate it's probably a typical suburban use case some combination of camper and/or toys several times a year and buying home improvement and landscaping materials the rest of the time. It often makes sense to buy a travel trailer and truck rather than class C camper. Also if you're going to be road tripping it it's usually wise to buy more truck than you need in order to make the road trip aspect more comfortable. As much fun as it is to white knuckle it with 7k behind a Ford Ranger that doesn't make for a fun road trip.
Does GM actually make a profit on the Bolt? Or is it a sort of foot-in-the-door car meant to increase mindshare? I ran a search and found this:

https://www.inverse.com/article/32239-why-gm-loses-money-che...

It makes sense that a huge car company would be able to take a loss on an electric vehicle that they don't advertise much but which, by slowly accumulating in the market, convinces people that "GM can build affordable and good electric cars" so that when they do actually market a car they make money on, people will be less skeptical. However, according to this hypothesis, GM doesn't have a serious technical advantage over Tesla - they just have a fatter stack of cash. But sometimes that's enough.
Yes, opioids and suicide. I don't know why your comment was flagged.
> Sure, everyone's quality of life has improved across the board but relative poverty is the important metric.

I completely disagree — the total standard of living is the only one that matters. If you’re better off than you used to be, you’ll keep buying into society and things will keep getting better.

I think there’s four factors:

1. It’s hard to view your status in absolute instead of relative terms, because it requires historical context, so most people misuse relative poverty as a proxy for absolute poverty.

2. People have capitalized on that misperception to advance their political agendas, causing increased civil tensions.

3. There are many unaccounted for things in applied economic models, and their scale could easily call into question our broader choices — and people are routinely told to shut up and stop talking about it. (I usually quip that we have financial architecture, but not financial engineering.)

4. People are afraid that the spread in relative poverty will be used to extort wealth until they’re forced back into absolute poverty — which there are signs of happening.

I agree with your conclusion, broadly. The fix to relative poverty is changing market dynamics so that small businesses are more viable while colossal ones are less so.

Price feeds provide the data. They get normalized (removing extreme values) and I think there's some parameters in regard to sensitivity that they can tweak. The trusted accounts for these feeds are voted by all MKR holders. The overall system is very much like a community run central bank.
If you add enough bling to an existing idea, you can patent that, if the bling you add is an obvious and probably necessary path forward, you can still steel ideas from the public domain.
This. I haven't heard anybody talking about this before, but it seems like there's an unavoidable tipping point here. I wonder if we've already reached it. Rightly or wrongly I trust my stock picking over an index fund now. At least I can take responsibility for the outcome.

A recent analysis posted here claimed that low carb, high animal protein/fat was the unhealthiest diet long term, resulting in a 4 year drop in life expectancy, compared to a 1 year drop with a high carb diet.

Low carb looks to be dangerous for your body long term if you have too much meat.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2...

According to a recent documentary I saw on the BBC about this very diet, the point of the 800 diet is to lose weight asap and then introduce food back in gradually over 3 weeks (I think it was restoring one meal time a week, dinner, lunch, breakfast), in a controlled manner to teach you better food habits.

The documentary was focused on 4 normal people who had health problems due to weight, they all were trying this diet to see if it would help. One of them had just developed type 2. Wouldn't be surprised if that programme paved the way for this (it was on in June).

You’re both right if the drug epidemic is partly fueled by economic woes, as it seems to be.
I hope that you're not advocating that "fault" be used as a inverse measure of poverty. If so, depending on your religious and political bent, there probably isn't and has never been any poverty anywhere.

The average truck driver earns about $70k a year. Even assuming that the sensor suite costs as much as an entire Tesla Model S(which in addition to a sensor suite includes an actual car), the system will pay itself back in a year.

Also once automated, the trucks can engage in all sorts of hyper-miling shenanigans since they don't have to worry much about traffic during a significant part of their 24/7 operation, especially on more remote roads. That's additional fuel savings.

Yeah, I've had friends who buy iphones in the US and take it back home to china for relatives, because it's cheaper abroad..... How does that work, exactly? Is it because of some sort of luxury tax in China?
Fun fact: You can copy/paste a whole linux system as long as `-a` is passed to copy.

Also, if you like copy/pasted Linux apps, there is the `AppImage` project that provides such a format and its tooling is rapidly improving. It is a self-contained alternative to Snap and Flatpak which only handle the file container and leaves security/sandboxing and distribution to other projects.

But yes, the classic Mac was the first computer I ever used and I also have a sweet spot for it. I still own some recent Mac, but don't really like the increasing lack of flexibility and non-iOS development environment macOS has and do all my development on Linux. Classic macOS was the ultimate flexible OS, you could monkey-patch everything (which is also called a virus, but... POWER!).

"Thanks in part to increased government assistance, U.S. poverty according to this measure has fallen, especially for children."

Pardon me but I'm a tight-ass when it comes to words / language and how their use effects perception.

In short, (gov) assistance does __not__ decrease poverty. It might sugar coat poverty. It might keep the poverty stricken alive. Etc.

But poverty remains the same. It's there. Alive and well. The level of denial about poverty in the USA is very disheartening.

As a side note. I found the book "Evicted" by Matt Desmond to be extremely insightful. The Poverty Industrial Complex is a powerful force.

The DeanBeat: How game developers can drive our platforms forward
Why do people carry out muggings? Because they gain from it. Morality and legality aren't just divergent - they're orthogonal. Just like one can perform moral and immoral actions in physical space, one can perform moral or immoral actions using the legal system. Despite the goal of the legal system being to punish immoral behavior, being able to actually formalize that is up against the limit of complexity - as soon as rules are made to discourage bad behavior, the lawful bad actors move on to using those very laws to carry out attacks.

A major meta problem in the current system is that even when bad behavior is able to be formally judged and is called out, there is still little downside for getting caught. Under a functioning legal system, Google would have to make OP whole for their time/stress/legalfees/etc incurred, and would therefore be discouraged from attacking again. Alas.

The individuals have no problem sleeping at night because there is no shortage of narratives to pick from to justify their actions - then further normalized by their peer group engaging in similar business. Nobody sees themselves as a bad person.
The CEO of Intel is 58 years old. What does he care if China steals all of Intel's IP? He'll be retired by then.
Yes, there was before XX century. It was called "family". Most people used to live with their extended family, multiple generations in the same area.
They give a legal framework for unethical people to prosper. They are "hacking" the system. Highly moral societies are especially ripe for this kind of victimization because many of the "laws" are social norms that everyone just follows.

> Can you explain why you are concerned with the usage of AGPL? Are you hoping to make a closed-source hosted fork eventually?

This can get very copy-left philosophical very quickly, so I'll be brief. For transit technology, especially if adoption matters, the less a license infects downstream projects the better for ecosystem growth. For example, I have an open source Tor library that is MIT licensed and it statically links Tor. I want the world to use my library, commercial/closed and open alike. I would never be able to do that with Orchid and therefore would not touch the tech. Make what you build on your network AGPL, but the underpinnings themselves should be as restrictionless as possible. These are my opinions and I understand the other opinion of "if you want the right to use our stuff, you have to abide by our openness rules on your stuff" but just know that you are trading adoption for principles.

What is interesting to me is that it is a Biblical principle to have jubilee years and in my experience some of the most ardent opponents of debt forgiveness are right wing Christians. The fact is that we all subsidize each other. Poor people in major cities tend to use public transportation more than others and thus their taxes subsidize road building. I don't have children and subsidize k-12 education for those that do.

The broader question is what sort of society do we collectively want?
Yes, you're right that it generates garbage, but that's besides the point.

The point is that a huge number of programmers, especially in the 90s and early 00s would argue for UTF-16 on the basis of it being a fixed width encoding in practice. Maybe they didn't know that it actually wasn't, or they knew and didn't care because they never had to deal with anything outside the BMP.

The overlap between Windows programmers producing software for e.g. in the U.S. or European market and those that would have ever encountered a non-BMP used to be tiny until emojis came along.

So yes, while not in theory, in practice you could get away with treating UTF-16 like fixed width encoding like UCS-2 for a huge number of applications where you could reap the benefits of constant-time chars(str) and charoffset(str, N).

Comfort, maybe. Driving, hardly.
I drive both a Ford Focus and a small sports car. While the Ford Focus, my usual commuter car, is not bad at all, I still take the sports car to work about once a week, and it just doesn't compare.

In some ways, the Ford Focus is more "comfortable", but the control and precision that the sports car offers even when just cruising through normal traffic through the city is amazing. The Ford, again not a bad car, feels like "swimming" in comparison.

This is, to some extent, similar in the difference between, say, driving a Chevy and driving a BMW. Subjectively, one just drives much better than the other one, and given how much time you are forced to spend in a car in the US, why would I not opt for a car that implements the driving aspect better?
> Don't mix drinks, i.e, wine with whisky

Is this not just superstition?

I've found that people's thinking for this comes from either your first point about sugar, or from failing to update your expectations when you go from, say, drinking pints that will take a while to metabolize, and then taking shots that are going to hit you hard and fast with the expectation that they work at the same speed.

I've never heard a reason that, say, a shot and a beer would make you more hung over than a shot and another shot distributed in a beer's worth of water (so it lands at the same pace).

>A reasonable, common-sense definition of poverty should include not just an absolute measure of material deprivation and a relative gauge of a person’s situation compared to the rest of society. It should also strive to measure how secure people feel — in their homes, their health, and their jobs.

I generally agree, but this has potential downsides. A good friend of mine from college comes from a very conservative family. Despite doing well for themselves (father is a MD), these people are generally pretty insecure about non-whites having the ability to vote, immigration (legal or illegal), and all the other things they hear on Fox News or talk radio. They also own a home > $1million USD.

So do we consider them poor because they're insecure?

I guess my point is there should be some objective measure - e.g. Person A or Family B is more likely to become homeless if they lost their jobs or if one family member became disabled.

While "uno" is, perhaps, "cooler", logcheck [0] has been around for ages and does just this -- go through your log files, weed out all the stuff that you don't care about, and mails you anything else (which, by definition, is all the stuff you do care about).

Logcheck doesn't use "fuzziness" or uniqueness or any intelligence or anything like that -- just regexes -- but I end up with one single mail per day that only takes me a minute or two to sift through.

Additionally, logcheck is open source.

The analogy breaks down, though - in Google's disfavour and in OP's favour.

OP knew that she had something valuable. But she also thought of it as a free good (libre, not gratis). As I interpret it this is because she knew that her work builds on the work of others.

At Google, they probably knew about the intellectual background of OP's innovation, too. And yet, they tried to patent it. So much about their intellectual honesty.

Which mirrors my own kicad workflow, but part management difficulties are the main reason I would never recommend it for professional use. Especially with a team, I just can't imagine trying to keep this workflow coherent. Yes, altium is tremendously expensive, but I just can't see kicad being a viable replacement.

They really need to focus on this issue, and make it a main focus over other features. If I haven't used kicad in over a month, I have to look up how to create parts again, and can never remember since schema and pcbnew have such different workflows. I am 100% fine with schematic symbols being divorced from footprints, in fact I like that better, but the workflow to create them should match up.
