You are retelling what happens in a very short period of time, ignoring dynamics.
Decades is nothing for a country. You could look at second-world countries which were pioneers in universal healthcare and universal pension funds. For most of them it didn't last long. Even though the "universality" was questionable. These systems won't survive 100 year run in countries with tens of millions.
Then, private healthcare is not the reason why Americans pay for it that much. There are lots of factors that drastically worsen the situation. People in the US are the ones who finance medical R&D, results of which are used by other countries relatively for free as individual American companies are forced to negotiate their contracts with governments. Which could be mitigated if American government would enforce for these countries to pay for their share in R&D.
Then, perhaps I am mistaken, but the US is the only place (or one of the few places) where doctors have to study twice to become doctors: first at regular colleges then in medical schools. It cuts out lots of people who could've been doctors, not to mention education costs.
Other thing that affects the costs is the fact that medical debts of individuals could be reimbursed by the government (the same applies to education). It creates incentives to actually make people go broke as insurers have nothing to loose in this case, but gain much more from the government which play along.
This would be a huge red flag for me. I fully expect suggestions from newly on boarded devs. That is actually one of their most important skill since they aren't encumbered yet by the existing context and can see things in different lights.

Four Color Theorem
Lifetime maintenance of high school mathematics content.

Harry P Bahrick, Lynda K Hall
Journal of experimental psychology: general 120 (1), 20, 1991
An analysis of life span memory identifies those variables that affect losses in recall and recognition of the content of high school algebra and geometry courses. Even in the absence of further rehearsal activities, individuals who take college-level mathematics courses at or above the level of calculus have minimal losses of high school algebra for half a century. Individuals who performed equally well in the high school course but took no college math courses reduce performance to near-chance levels during the same period. In contrast, the best predictors of test performance (eg, Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, grades) have trivial effects on the rate of performance decline. Pedagogical implications for life span maintenance of knowledge are derived and discussed.
You are making a large misunderstanding. The confounders are not about what the day traders themselves are using in their own models. The confounders are things that affect researchers studying whole cohorts of traders.

Day traders may well believe they can predict political events in Brazil effectively. And yet, there may be some quality about Brazilian political events that impacts the cohort of Brazilian day traders systematically differently than say Korean political events affect Korean day traders.

For example, maybe a new cabinet member was just appointed in Brazil who likes to leak new political announcements early to an old business partner with connections at several large banks and trading shops, and so regular day traders are at a significant disadvantage in just this one market.

Or maybe during the time period of the study, there were political protests that disproportionately involved young people, meaning the average age (and perhaps skill level) of the observed cohort of traders was artificially too high just in the window of time of the study. Or any number of possible things like this.

You can’t assume these effects don’t exist when looking at different cohorts that have real reasons why they might not be probabilistically equivalent to a more general population. You have to actually account for the possible sources of confounding (in this case the country of the exchange), either by proposing some prior counterfactual model, or by collecting data across different cohorts and explicitly controlling for the confounder with whatever type of model you are fitting.

To be clear: none of this requires you to know in advance what the confounders actually are, and indeed in most causal inference models you literally cannot know what they are. The best you can hope is that you measures things like, e.g. country of exchange or age of the traders, that correlates with the hidden confounders well enough that they allow you to control for the confounding effects in your model.

It is not a thing in professional statistics to expect researchers to already know the sources of confounding before postulating that there could be sources of confounding that need to be controlled prior to believing the results are generalizeable.

> The lack of affordable housing always has been and always will be a supply problem.

Yes, but in the expensive parts of California the limiting supply factor isn't how much people want to build but how much they are allowed to build because of zoning and other constraints, so there is a fairly large range where reducing the incentive to build will have no effect on actual results.

But, anyway, does this really reduce incentives for new construction? It seems to me rent control and eviction restrictions of this type increases the expected profits for new construction, because it doesn't limit existing rents, and doesn't allow high-end demand to be met by bouncing tenants out of lower-end units and renovating them and raising the prices. So, it reduces the competition new units face from existing ones at the top of the market while leaving the rents that can be charged initially for those new units unrestricted. (And, by limiting the ability to bounce unprofitable tenants in favor of new ones, if it doesn't spur new rental-focussed unit construction and housing demand remains the same it creates a greater incentive to build for sale as owner-occupied housing where, again, prices are unrestricted.)

The real danger isn't lack of incentive to build, it's lack of incentive to maintain existing units instead of milking what remaining profits can be made in the short term, then letting them fail in isolated, judgement proof, limited liability business enterprises by not reinvesting because you can't recover reinvestment with rent increases, while reinvesting the extracted profits elsewhere.

Would people be able to physically adapt to longer periods of higer temperatures? I mean, it is around 40 degrees every day for most of the two months of hot season where I live. And a lot of people don't have air conditioning. On the hottest days they sit around in the village in the shade, drinking a lot and not moving much. Lots of complaining but we don't hear much about heat related deaths.
I don't think they said they didn't believe. They were just asking for actual arguments, which seems fair to me.

The Oxford comma isn't the issue here. The issue is that "his" binds both son and girlfriend, and therefore needs an "and" in front of it. It's not grammatical as is.

Sadly, there hasn't been too much progress in the last 20 years -- the best are still the Lisp variants (Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, Clojure) and the ML variants (Standard ML, OCaml, F#, Haskell).

If the current supply is one remaing for sale house for $5 million when with a per house and land cost of at most $350k but anyone willing to wait could get new land and build it in a year for $500k there won't be any takers unless that are in a major hurry.

I still don’t understand how the Stingray is a saleable product. There’s no way such a device could obtain FCC certification, or for a prospective user to obtain a license to operate one.

I realize that roaming is a thing, and I don’t know how cellular protocols work, but I am curious why at this point phones don’t connect to towers anonymously, authenticate towers by default, encrypt identity, etc..? Surely the phone could be made to ask you before attaching to a service of unknown origin without compromising you, especially in higher security scenarios. Is this difficult or impossible to do for some reason? Is it already in the works and just not here yet?

Nuclear isomers are a fascinating subject. I like to fantasize about batteries with energy storage of KeV stored per element as opposed to chemical batteries which would be limited to a few eV per element. This is of course limited by our ability to effectively turn x rays and gamma rays into useful energy and preparing meta-stable samples.

I like your advice except for the "you're looking to make $xx,000'. NEVER say the first number IMO. The reason being is that it limits you to X% (prolly 5-10) range around that number. If you say I'm looking to make 80k, and they were going to offer you 120k, what do you think they're going to offer you now? Deflect until they say a number and then think carefully about making your counter.

Citations in journalism is a really interesting thing. Unlike science, where at least in theory, everything is built from the ground up using first principles or built upon raw data collected, the "raw data" of journalism is just various types of conversations with people the journalist then has to verify, and gauge the reliability of. In other cases it's the journalists first person experience of an event.

Citations, (IMHO) aren't a solution to this because human judgement is inherent in explaining human behavior and events.

I personally don't think efforts to "fix the news" as a result of facebook or whatever make a lot of sense in this context. Instead, consumers of news need to habitually engage in the process that you call too much work.

I agree that it's a lot of work, but I don't see an alternative to critically engaging with reporting on human events.

I think the source is the "former official". I'd imagine that most of the time when allies are caught spying on the U.S. the public doesn't get to know about it, so it might not be possible to source that claim without talking to someone with inside knowledge of this stuff.

This is suuuuper interesting! All atomic clocks since the first alkali metal ones operate by syncing a an oscillator (either a radio or optical source) to precisely known transitions in the electronic structure of specific atoms, and then counting how many cycles elapse on the source oscillator to measure time. A clock using this thorium transition has the potential to be even more precise than contemporary clocks since it syncs to a transition in nucleus of the atom: it responds to rearrangements of the protons and neutrons instead of the electrons. This kind of transition is less affected by external factors like fields and temperatures[0] and so should be a more stable frequency reference.
