Thank you. I toyed with the idea of having him accelerated, but emotionally he is so immature that the older kids will very quickly, to be honest rightfully, ostracize him. I have noticed he does get along better with older kids, maybe because they are more predictable for him, but I'm quite sure he is mature enough to handle the higher emotional expectations of older kids.

This, so much this. It's very hard to make an antibiotics company work, not so much because you can't make money on the pill itself, but because it will never actually get used unless the infection is dire. This means that your market is microscopic and you can't recover the cost of developing the drug in the first place.

Antibiotics are special and should be incentivized using a different system. I've heard ideas like an international government compact that awards a large, multi-billion $ prize in exchange for the patent and full generic production immediately. This would allow a consortium/company to do very well for itself but the whole world to benefit in the aggregate for very little cost.
It does. But that also means that you have almost surely navigated away from watching the video.

I had a recruiter reach out to me 3 times now about the job in the new HQ at the alexa team. I'm not interested but I am not surprised so many are applying. Amazon is hiring really aggressively right now.
I also suspect this isn't a real world value because if you find yourself in an upside down car, chances are it's because you were in an accident. This means the vehicle likely acquired some damage and therefore would likely have a compromised support structure for the glass.
Can you ELI5 why putting pentesters in prison would help a prosecutor get promoted to a higher office?

Why is this still going on? It made sense before when there was a possibility of confusion, but at this point it is at worst a mistake, not someone with intent to commit a crime. Are charges still being pressed?
They do have change tracking and scheduled posting (essentially staging) for content, though. But if you're actually building the site, they assume you either don't care or are going to manage the process is some other way of your own devising.
Haha, I've never heard that before. I personally don't think socialization at public school has much to recommend it, but lots of people also have fond memories of their time in school, so I haven't found it productive to get really negative on it.

I mostly just want to remove socialization as the deciding factor that makes parents keep their kids in school when they'd really rather do something else, because, as you say, socialization in public school very much has a downside, and I think at best, it's a wash compared to homeschool.
I specifically called out their being tiny. Which is why we need a larger scale example. Nevertheless, despite having the interconnect they are a nett exporter each year, and at the export capacity of that interconnect. Being tiny there is nowhere to put pumped storage, yet they are already using a smart grid managing household, and I think EV batteries. So yeah, they use the grid as storage.

Of course pumped storage, and other storage is a general purpose answer. You don't need 100% capacity to power a nation for weeks. Chances of no sun at all, no rain and empty rivers, and no wind across the whole British Isles, or Europe, including offshore? Nil. So now it needs an appropriate balance of sources, and storage. I don't know what that is in TWh, but I know with certainty it is not "running a nation for weeks".

In reasonable terms, some mix of new projects like Dinorwig, that can run for about 6 hours at max power, battery, managed battery and the more exotic like power to hydrogen - already in use in Orkney, and molten salt that can cover some period far less than weeks will be the right answer.
What do you mean by the "middle ground"? The way you described it, there's more middle ground with WordPress than with all other CMS platforms combined.

There are a number of fantastic visual website builders for WordPress that allow you to generally build whatever you want without writing any code.

If you have custom data needs you can use plugins to visually generate and present complex custom data, without writing any code.

If those don't meet your needs, you can write code to generate even more complex custom data structures.

If writing code isn't your thing, there is an absolutely massive market of WordPress developers ranging from pennies on the dollar to expert teams that charge $100+ an hour.

There are hosting platforms ranging from $5/mo to $100/mo to enterprise level. (And free options, but I wouldn't recommend any of them.)

Small businesses can go on just about any freelance or job site and get your site customized or a completely custom site built for hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, or hundreds of thousands of dollars. You get what you pay for, but saying the options aren't there I just don't understand?
"I didn't like it, it worked out badly for me, so it should be illegal for everyone"? That seems like a bit of an over-reaction.

> There are always exceptions.

And yet you believe it should be illegal. It's going to be hard to make it illegal and still allow the exceptions, though. "Illegal unless you have plenty of money and autonomy over your schedule" is a pretty sketchy law.
> Everyone is obsessed with status and its markers,

Obsessed? Some. Aware? Everyone is aware of them, consciously or not.

> because it determines everything about your life - who you can talk to, who you can date, who you can work with, etc.

I mean, sort of. It’s always present in these determinations, but it’s only one factor.

I believe you’re right to say that some exposure to a status-focused microcosm is good for understanding how to navigate society, but I really don’t think it’s as extreme as you make it out to be.
There would be some signs with things like density and hardness of the coin even if the apocryphal legendary streaking of Archimedes didn't happen yet.

Also the thing about inflation is that it doesn't matter if it was real or not (although signs of debasement would show with foreign trade) - even if they could pull new pure silver out of their togas it would still affect monetary supply - although it would retain strength relative to trading partners until their own supplies stabilized.

I am reminded of Japan and how it was attractive to Portuguese traders - they would load ships full of silver to exchange with gold because the two were essentially equivalue in Japan at the time but gold was worth far more in Europe.
Add Fogel's "Producing Open Source Software" and Brooks' Mythical Man Month and you've perfectly described my shelf too. I found most of those when I was a lowly junior developer and they were instrumental in shaping my thinking, approach, and understanding of tradeoffs.

I think it is mostly political. When one uses Google Maps, he tells USA's 3-letter-agencies when they are. If Huawei replaces Google Maps with "Huawei Maps" then USA stops getting that info, and China gets that info. Now apply the same for emails, text messages, etc.

I believe that even "innocuous" games (started playing AFKArena lately) collect the IP address of my phone and tell the lovely Chinese gov who I am, where I am, etc. (AFKArena policies have the word Tencent a lot in them).

Also, they invested in Rivian, so by purchasing 100K vans, they’re guaranteeing revenue that will undoubtedly make Rivian more successful. And, no doubt, these electric vans will be cheaper to operate over the long term - no oil changes, no engine maintenance, etc.

There's a comment above that suggests that Comcast owns the physical layer and, as such, is allowed to limit CenturyLink's access on its infrastructure (though there is a contrasting reply to it). I've always wondered why CenturyLink's advertised speeds were so much slower.
While I applaud any move towards decreasing negative impacts our our environment, I also encourage people to take advantage of Amazon's option to pick a delivery day and get all your stuff at once.

Even without that option, Amazon has some work to do on their route planning - I should never need 3 different deliveries from 3 different drivers on the same day, and that has occurred at my house.
This post doesn't mention what is perhaps the greatest benefit for founders of accepting a preemptive offer from an existing investor: getting a known and trusted person on the board.

At the Series A and later, founders typically have to give up a board seat in financing rounds. This is no bueno, because it means they're giving up control of the company. Board members are hard to get rid of, can often veto big moves, and after a certain point can even fire the founder CEO.

Ensuring only extremely trusted, founder friendly, values aligned people make it on to the board should be a top priority of every startup founder.

By accepting a preemptive offer from an investor the founders have worked with directly for months/years, the founders are limiting the risk of having the wrong people on the board. Founders can, of course, run reference checks with other founders on new investors, to try to gauge how they would act as board members, but there's no stand in for direct experience working with an investor.

Given that the most important things to optimize for during later stage financings are ownership and control, it makes sense that founders might trade some ownership to have more certainty about the control situation.

Primary: money from the financing that goes to the company.

Secondary: money from the financing that goes to employees, founders, or other existing shareholders.

Companies often use part of a financing to “take out” existing shareholders. Many larger financings are actually to a large extent a “secondary”.
I think GP's point is that saying "you need to do X, Y, Z" in moderation" carries nearly zero bits of information. Of course I don't want to overdo or underdo something. But how much is too much? How much is too little? How do I know? And since code is something that accumulates over time, how do I maintain the balance?

Answers to these questions is what's needed for coders to do a good job. The original book does encourage you to think about it, but doesn't provide many answers. The way I remember it, it was very useful at introducing you to concepts, so that you know that X, Y and Z are a thing in the first place.

I've also definitely sorted by date on Glassdoor and ignored any reviews that looked like they were posted all at once.

On more than one occasion I've seen a blistering one star review, followed by a bunch of positive reviews that all came in within days. It was clearly a situation where someone at the company saw the low score, had an "uh-oh moment," and called in the cavalry to write positive reviews.
In my experience, economists don't usually conflate subsidies with negative externalities any more than the conflate positive externalities with taxation.

"Most people don't know the word "externality," so using a less precise term that they do know is not in any way deceptive."

People do know the word 'subsidy' and most know that it means a direct gift or tax benefit by the government which is not the same thing as an externality. What's more, they do know the word 'cost' as well, which is much clearer in this case than 'subsidy'.
The publishing business is often seen as merely being one of creating and publishing content. I've come to realise it's rather more than that.

There are the technical elements -- what many HN readers are familiar with in terms of development, back-end, front-end, and infrastructure tools.

There is the art of developing the content in the first place, including the methods in this case of investigative journalism.

There is the whole maelstrom of business models and monetisation, on which virtually all attempts have been foundering of late.

But there's also the legal side, both offensive and defensive. Pursuing sources, information, and disclosures. And defending the publisher against attacks, such as the one described here. The publication of Permanent Record highlights another element, that of contracts and publication risk when faced with a state-level actor and an alleged NDA privilege. There are famous battles against defamation or censorship lawsuits. And there is the pursuit of others who take content without payment or credit, claiming it for themselves.

In many histories of great publishing events and episodes, lawyers (and publishers with spinal, intestinal, and gonadal integrity) play a huge role, and publishing houses or newspapers as much respected for their solicitors as their journalists and editors.

It's not just a business that concerns getting words on a page, or screen. The words have to matter, the words have to be right, the lights must be kept on, the words distributed. And, if your business is afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted, resisting and challenging some very motivated and extraordinarily capable adversaries.

This is something advocates of "citizen-based journalism", or peer-to-peer or federated technologies, or DIY technical solutions, of whom I very much count myself as a former and current member, have long failed to appreciate.

The Mail & Guardian's message here is one to remember.

To be clear, fossil fuels are already insufficient to power a modern day economy without trillions of artificial subsidies.

We are not in a mode where we can wait to deploy perfect technology. We will also not be going solar 100% anytime soon, but perhaps in the next few decades. The atmosphere and ocean are already unhappy, and maybe if we also invest in carbon sequestration technology we can roll back a century or so worth of damage.

You're in this mindset that immediately it's all or nothing, and that's not the case. But we do need to start investing large sums of money now instead of making oil cheaper than it would normally be on a free market.
Pumped storage is not a total solution. But in the areas where it works, it works very well and cheaply. Do pumped storage everywhere you can, and fill in everywhere you can't with other options. By the time we get close to fully intermittent energy sources, pumped storage won't be nearly enough. But while we still have peaker natural gas plants around, every pumped storage site helps reduce emissions.

What malware are you referring to? I never had this issue as well. I'm not saying you shouldn't question them, but the only thing I didn't like was they forced advertisements to use the free version.

I think we're agreeing after the fog clears of remembering the details.

To be more precise, after looking again the issue was, there was no way to use control-z for multiple undo without remapping the keyboard. Looks like they finally fixed it:

In older versions of Photoshop, you could only press Ctrl + Z once to undo your most recent change. If you wanted to undo more changes, you had to change the shortcut keys to Ctrl + Alt + Z.

from version 20.0.0 (CC 2019) onwards, we can just press Ctrl + Z which makes things a little easier

I don't get it either. I found myself involuntarily out of work a couple years ago (company shut down), and it took a month before I finally found something after > 20 applications. Out of at least 20 applications, I only ended up interviewing with two - and I'm qualified as hell for software development. One thing I wonder, though - there's some anecdata that certain qualifications can actually work against you. For example, this lady (http://blog.alinelerner.com/how-different-is-a-b-s-in-comput...) suggests that you consider rejecting anybody with an MS in CS. I've seen many people on here and on Slashdot suggest that they would never consider hiring anybody with an MS certification, for example (and some even saying they'd never hire somebody who went to college!). You never know what weird filter somebody is applying to your resume.

Treaties are accorded to the power of law in the treaty signatories, below their Constitutional documents but above that of legislative laws.

Once a treaty enters into effect, a nation is bound by the terms of the treaty even if they do not have implementing laws. However, in many cases treaties don't have any consequences if signatories don't pass implementing laws (see, e.g, the Kyoto Protocol).
I suspect the imbalance is greatly over-egged by companies whose problems lie their business model, but who yearn for a quick fix of lower wages rather than (gasp) actual innovation.

If you were born anywhere in the world, and applied for a green card in the next month, your wait time would not be different- Indian or not.

Don't know about Usenet but Flexget[1] is amazing for private torrent trackers. Effectively you first subscribe it to your tracker(s) RSS feeds or IRC announce channels. It'll watch and filter and sort new torrents, doing things like "download any new episode of X show in 720p" or "download any new movie that's a Thriller or Horror and is above 7.0 on IMDB". When it hits a match, it'll grab the .torrent and feed it to whatever your torrent client is (via RPC or watch folder or whatever). Then it can shoot you an email/notification that it has something new for you.

It'll also do cool stuff like keep track of which episodes it has seen (so it won't re-downloaded old eps) and watch for propers. From there (in your torrent client) you can post-download hook to auto-extract your new show and put it in the right folder so Kodi can see it. Kodi does all the Kodi things like keep track of watched episodes, get your artwork/subs/ratings/whatever, keep your library sorted.

It's a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine but: End result is I get home and the GoT episode that dropped an hour ago is sitting there on Kodi, ready to be played. It's so convenient it's ridiculous.

Well, you'd have to do the math on manufacturing emissions vs operating emissions, factoring in remaining lifetime of the ICE vans. If they are driven enough miles EVs would come out ahead over a certain period of time.

Also, they could just buy no more new ICE vans and replace them with EVs when they get to their normal end of life.

On top of all that, you'd also have to consider that the ICE vans would be sold into the market and not destroyed.
