For me, I'm already iffy about the whole thing when it's just me but the thought of putting my kids in one of these things makes me... very unhappy, in a bunch of different ways at once. But so does a stranger feeling them up. I'm not sure how/whether I'll ever be able to fly with them.

Some posters are claiming the screens don't show the raw images anymore, but what happens to those scans? Betting they don't discard them. Ever.
I'd have to disagree about work strikes and riots, given how conditioned this country has been to lick the boots of the powerful, as a large chunk of this country sees itself as "temporarily displaced rich". Hacker News comments are frequently hyper individualist in a way that, outside a few coastal bubbles, makes up the political view of a majority of people in this country, including plenty of self-described liberals. This is only going to change after the massive inverted-pyramid generational demographics of this country shifts, and giving our increasingly anti-immigration policies and a below-replacement birthrate, I honestly believe this country is trapped in a death spiral. Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood...
isn't this is one of the plot points in the departed?
Ask HN: THC, CBD and a Request for Comments
I had never touched THC/CBD until a month ago. Then, I bought (legally! from a licensed pharmacy) some THC capsules and some CBD capsules. I took a THC capsule around 4pm and waited to feel its effects ("around two hours after ingestion"). Sure enough, 1h50min after I started to feel different - but it wasn't AT ALL what I was expecting: the sensations were 100% physical and extremely unpleasant. I had very specific paresthesias, that I could only describe as icy-cold(!) electric discharges through my arms, forearms and ring fingers, behind my knees and, the strangest of them all, inside my stomach. There was nothing even resembling euphoria (or anxiety), just physical sensations. At one point I got up (I was lying on the couch, watching something on TV) and went to the bathroom, because I was feeling nauseous and I was afraid I was going to throw up. I felt dizzy and I had trouble with my equilibrium. I didn't throw up and I returned on the couch and closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep. It didn't happen and I had to soldier on through three more hours of very unpleasant, exclusively physical sensations. Honestly, it felt like I was terminally ill and I was about to expire (again: I knew it was not going to happen, I wasn't anxious or anything, just enduring a maximal physical discomfort).

The next day I tried to find similar experience on the web. I wasn't able to. Hence, my puzzlement: what DID happen to me? was it me? was it the substance I put into my organism (contaminated?).

Anyone have a similar experience?

PS CBD was an ever bigger letdown: I'm a lifelong migraine sufferer and I was hoping I could use CBD instead of medication (multiple studies confirmed its usefulness). To my dismay, CBD induced migraines in yours truly! (took it three times, three migraines ensued like clockwork, 12 hours after ingestion).

Your comments are much appreciated!
I hear this repeated a lot in different variations, some people say the exact opposite, but it's untrue.

There's no real definition of what a '100% sativa' or '100% indica' even is. All we have to go by are characteristic leaf patterns between indica/sativa. In short, the whole 'indica body buzz' thing is unfounded. In fact, I remember hearing the EXACT opposite of what you heard a few years ago. I was told that sativa caused anxiety and indica was more calming.

The reality is that the only differences between strains are in combinations of THC to CBD. Plants with higher CBD and lower THC will be more 'calming' and plants with higher THC and lower CBD will get you more high, which can produce more anxiety in people sensitive to THC.

Many natural locations near me are not pleasant for humans. Too many bugs (including ticks) and the underbrush is impassable.

The areas that are more pleasant might be hard to replicate in a small space. You can't create a forest microclimate in a 1/4 acre yard.

In fact, an isolated 1/4 acre yard is an unnatural habitat in a lot of ways. The easiest thing to manage there other than a lawn is usually a crop of 8ft high weeds.

People who don't like liars.

1: This isn't even about rather or not they should use mysql. This is strictly about rather or not they should support mysql. I am not sure why you are bringing up using mysql.

2: Parent was never arguing in favor of mysql, their entire comment is strictly about how the arguments put out by gitlab were lies. I am not sure why you are bringing this up at all.

>Is there any data on how being recorded at all times affects the behavioral development of those children ?...

I don't have any data or anything, but I think that brain development is not even complete until well after 12th grade in humans. In particular, I think the ability to self regulate is compromised.

So here's the thing, the people doing all this are child development experts, so they would know all about brain development. A lot more than myself. In a very real way, these guys have made it a policy to monitor children who they know very well will likely not change their behaviors due to being monitored. So you have to wonder if this is just more about attribution and the ability to justify punishments? Just administrators playing CYA?

"No ma'am. We know it was your son who assaulted that girl. Here's the video for your perusal."

"No son. We know you said so and so to that other student over there. Here's the video."

"No sir. That was definitely your daughter fighting over there. Here's the video."

Etc etc etc.

So in answer to your question, "No." Children will not change their behavior. Certainly not at the mean.

Welcome any corrections from any child dev experts on HN if I'm wrong about brain development in children.

Before we had children misclassified as threats by errant algorithms, we misclassified them with people. There were a bunch of zero-tolerance policies passed in the early 2000s, and they often provided no path to understand or appeal the decision to label a child as a threat.

On the country welcoming list,[0] Greenland is coloured black like North Korea and Afghanistan. But surely as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, it should fall under the same rules as Denmark? Or since it is not in the EU, maybe not?

Speaking as a Dane, I get unsure. But it is a vast part of the map that looks completely uninviting.

Edit: According to Wikipedia, Greenland follows the same policy as the EU, and thus Denmark.[1] Additionally, it seems there is also a Greenlandic and a Faroese passport, although abroad they count as a Danish passport.[2]

This was the most fun I've had while building a ton of anxiety
This gets it all wrong, IMHO.

An "official ask" rather than actual laws or regulations comes across as silly, self-serving and grandstanding -- although it is in Facebook's self-interest to work with Congress.

The problem here is the potential for uncompetitive dominance -- just like Google or Apple can unfairly favor their own products in Search or apps, what does it mean for Facebook to favor or only allow its own currency option in transactions/marketplace/etc.?

Far better would be Congress ensuring freedom of choice -- let Facebook develop its own currency, but make sure that anywhere it's provided as an option on Facebook/Instagram/etc. there's also an equivalently frictionless way to use Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, MasterCard, etc.

Force payment methods and currencies to compete on a level playing field, instead of by which mega-company forces them as exclusive options.

It tells you a lot about foreign/trade relations but for people who can move around/work or be able to claim ancestry for passports it might be a nifty guide to keep in mind.
I know a Latvian who was living in Ireland, and applied for Irish citizenship solely for easier travel (which also required renouncing their latvian citizenship).
In Europe it's not hard to find people with multiple ancestries (i.e. born in one country, with parents from two different parts of the world) and for them it's also a good guide to see if it's worth applying for citizenship if they want the access that the passport gives them.

All three. We have 4 kids (3 of them now adults).

We re-assessed every year and decided with the kids what their education environment would look like each year.

One of them, our extremely musical daughter flipped between homeschool, private and public school several times until we found a university model school that worked well with her needs (lots of schedule flexibility to do extra-curricular music things).

You don't have to choose one way and stick with it. Your children's needs will change in ways unique to each of your kids.

[Edit] Also, schools change year to year depending on staff and pupil turnover. There's no honor in torturing your kid with a school situation that is just not working for them, especially if you have other options.

From Gaggle’s website: « You are invading my child’s privacy! Well, aren’t you?
Most educators and attorneys will tell you that when your child is using school-provided technology, there should be no expectation of privacy. In fact, your child’s school is legally required by federal law (Children's Internet Protection Act) to protect children from accessing obscene or harmful content over the Internet.".

A much more useful ocean-going consumer of solar power would instead produce ammonia, and release it into ocean currents flowing away from land. Releasing iron oxide dust along with it would amplify its useful effect.

The useful effect would be hundreds or thousands of square miles of additional photosynthesis downstream pulling carbon from the air.

If the unit were also to concentrate CO2 and release it dissolved into the water along with the ammonia, that might speed uptake. The waste oxygen produced along with the ammonia would also be useful dissolved into the current.

Micro-organisms scattered throughout the biosphere are astonishingly efficient at taking up dilute ammonia, and accelerating growth of everything around them.

Ammonia production is the best-fit energy sink for rural wind turbines far from an electric grid. The ammonia is immediately useful to farmers, on the spot, as fertilizer, fuel, and cash crop. Intermittent power causes no difficulty; produce when there's wind, wait when there's not. Kelp farmers would find wind-powered ammonia production equally useful. Unlike solar panels, wind turbines do not block sunlight.

> With a single scientific advance that would allow rapid carbon capture from the atmosphere

... and reverse the laws of thermodynamics, too!

Recapturing atmospheric CO2 means working to transform from a high-entropy state to a lower-entropy state. That's not going to happen for free.

So you need to have:

1) A fast efficient carbon-capture mechanism.

2) A way to generate lots and lots of power that doesn't itself produce CO2.

You're not describing a "single scientific advance" as much as you're describing dozens or hundreds of major feats of engineering. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but I would not bet the planet on it.

You can always be refused entry. The closest to an exception is that you may have some sort of permanent right of entry as a citizen for example, but the determination that you're eligible for entry on that basis is a decision for the exact same people who can refuse you entry.

In the US courts have accepted the government's theory that it's allowed to basically treat anybody who it doesn't let in as non-American and so they don't have any rights, including the right to have a court look into whether actually they have right of entry and so should have been let in.

I don't think the cameras are a net win as the acclimation of the students to a total surveillance state has broader consequences.

What we really need is the ability for teachers to evict unruly students without having to build a multi-month evidence file. A classroom is a place to learn and there should be zero tolerance for repeat offenders. We're putting so much in the hands of teacher's as it is; giving them the option to judge behavior isn't a stretch.

To people who say that's too much power for the teachers (ex: "It's not fair! She had it in for my kid from day one!") I say phooey. Odds are your kid really is a disruptive jerk. And if a teacher truly is the problem the answer to that is to be able to fire teachers as well.
