> On average for all days of the week, teachers worked 18 fewer minutes per day, and did household activities—such as housework, cooking, lawn care, or financial and other household management—12 more minutes per day, than all other full-time professionals.

This analysis would be a lot more useful if broken down by demographic categories, such as gender, marital status, age, and number/ages of children.

The demographic profile of teachers is pretty different than e.g. accountants or lawyers or engineers.

It would also be useful to break this down by salary bracket.

Anecdotally, my mother, a career primary-school teacher, worked 60+ hours/week most weeks (while school was in session; her preparation/cleanup took also took a couple full-time weeks out of every summer vacation, but the rest of the summer vacation she could travel etc.) for several decades. Much harder than most of the much-better-compensated other white-collar professionals I know.

I’m also not sure if self-reported estimates on a survey are reliable measures of time spent. Again anecdotally, people’s self-descriptions of how hard working they are seems to depend substantially on personality / identity. It would be interesting to see some more direct measurements of time use.
I'd imagine a laser at typical radio wavelengths would be just as susceptible to cloud-cover-induced interference as a non-laser at typical radio wavelengths, no? Not that even lasers would be necessary to mitigate jamming; ordinary beam-forming / directional antennas should be enough (barring some really sophisticated jamming technology of which I'm not aware, or the Iraqi government putting up and maintaining permanent chaff clouds or something similarly outlandish).

Jammers (to my knowledge) operate by actively producing an inverted copy of the signals it actually sees. That is: it'd be reliant on non-directional signals. Any directionality / beam-forming would make jamming a lot harder, since it makes it a lot harder for the jammers to actually see the signal in the first place (let alone produce an inverted-waveform copy of it).

Jamming also tends to get in the way of other radio communications, so even if it was actually effective against satellite communications, it'd be a last resort and would likely cause all sorts of other issues.
Why Objects Have Color
Way more difficult maybe than running a bash script but in real terms it's very doable.
Having worked on a library that was often used in DPI (security systems, not national-level censorship stuff, although after open-sourcing we lost the power to discriminate) I would not imagine that simple fragmentation, insertion of spaces nor mixed-case would do all that much to slow down a well-written DPI system.

I suspect more elaborate evasions might necessary - e.g. tcp fragmentation with inconsistent fragments where the understanding of which final 'reassembly' the target gets is necessary to understand what the DPI system is seeing. This might also ring alarm bells at the intermediate firewall, though. The problem is with the censorship firewalls is that they can just throw stuff on the floor if they feel a bit suspicious about it; they can be inherently 'worse' in their liveness guarantees than, say, a corporate DPI product.
Ah, very cool, I guess I missed that announcement.
That seems much better to me. Comcast only shuts off my internet occasionally, through incompetence. They could censor customers who criticize Comcast, but that isn't maximizing their profits, so they don't.
Dropbox has a tough road ahead. With Google Drive, Microsoft Word cloud suite and Box, its definitely getting tough to survive by just doing B2C. With their recent acquisitions they'll probably pivot to DocuSign like model. But they are definitely losing their niche.
Our government is going to keep its boot on the neck of Iraq and stay involved over there as long as Iraq still has oil, right?

It doesn't seem like it, no. If the US was still controlling Iraq, we wouldn't be permitting their current government, which is more or less controlled by Iran.

Good answer! Now imagine if there was a society where money supply did not increase because of more loans, but by something more of a function of labor.

What do you think would happen to the prices of materials, labor etc? Do you think tying money supply as a function of labor would make cost of necessities close to the median?

Out of curiosity, can you give some examples of spending money effectively?
As other posters have mentioned, but to put a little more emphasis on how this worked: the Christian world of early to middle Europe banned Christians collecting interest on loans (which, effectively, banned Christians from operating loan-based financial service businesses). They didn't ban interest on loans in general, and in fact depended on loans with interest. They outsourced their financial services to their minority Jewish populations, and then every hundred years or so when the interest payments piled up too high, they evicted and/or massacred all their Jews, and seized their property.

Not a great deal for the Jews! Although they were also legally barred from doing almost any other work (they could also be tax-collectors, which was hardly a better job)[1]. But it's definitely not the case that the civilizations of Christian Europe didn't have loans with interest.

This was also largely true in Islamic societies: they did rely on loans with interest, by once again relying on their minority Jewish population to provide financial services. [2] Unlike the Christians, though, the Muslims generally paid back their loans instead of murdering their creditors.

I recently started using it. It's nice because it comes with E2E encryption and is usable on desktop. Alternatives all have various limitations: Skype (no E2E encryption), Signal (no calls on PCs), iMessage (only usable for Apple users), Wire (requires additional program installation and account creation).
Is this what the Yamaha Niken uses?
Depends on the frequencies and types of antennas used. Doesn't take much to disrupt a radio-based service (people do this by accident, that's why RF regulations exist everywhere). It's not that much of an expense for a government to set up a few antennas and make them put out half a megawatt of noise each.

Volkswagen will be delivering a lot of EVs in 2020. They're targeting everything from the low end (SEAT Mii) to the high end (Porsche Taycan).

Here's Volkswagen's EV lineup for the next 18 months:

- VW e-Up!: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/09/vws-updated-e-up-offers-16...

- VW e-Golf (will be replaced by the ID.3, but still available): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah4lrqWx8E0

- VW ID.3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op4HO6GHC8Q

- VW ID.4: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-frankfurt-mot...

- SEAT Mii: https://www.electrive.com/2019/09/11/seat-mii-available-to-o...

- SEAT el-Born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZI7WFtwc8g

- Cupra Tavascan (maybe, not confirmed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNYHRKp4n1w

- Skoda Citigo iV: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-frankfurt-mot...

- Skoda Vision iV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f1g9xl6W_E

- Audi e-tron (and also a new "sportsback" variant): https://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-e-tron

- Audi e-tron Q4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiwevzHsCbU

- Audi e-tron GT (maybe 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMEdiq2xTbQ

- Porsche Taycan (and the Cross Turismo variant in future): https://www.porsche.com/uk/models/taycan/taycan-models/

And they'll have more models out in 2021, more in 2022, etc. Volkswagen means to be the biggest EV maker in a few years. They have both the investment and the scale to achieve it.
Nextcloud? A NAS device? Google Drive? Practically all of these are cheaper and have the same or better usefulness. There's actually a ton of storage options out there.
>If public has access then normal laws governing motor vehicles are applicable

Laws certainly apply, but not necessarily "normal laws governing motor vehicles". For example, you probably can't be ticketed for running a stop sign in a parking lot on private property. However, you would almost certainly be liable for damage if running that stop sign caused an accident and you could be potentially charged with some type of generic reckless driving offense. Obviously the laws vary by jurisdiction.
I agree that the growth is likely to slow down somewhat in 2019. On a years view they produced about 253.000 cars in 2018 and will likely land at 360.000 in 2019. Nevertheless it is still 30% Growth YoY.

I would argue that slow down is mainly due to the nature of the production ramp, which goes exponential in the beginning but is now starting to flatten out. As it flattens though margins should continue to get better. If they get additional factories like the one in China it should reinvigorate the growth rate.

For me the bull story goes something like: they sunk a lot of money building out their very first mass producing production line, making a lot of mistakes on the way. Although they have some quality and service and margin issues people still keep buying their cars, which is the most important. Fixing the margin and other secondary issues is just a matter of time and continuous optimization.

So the most important of Musks hypotheses that people like buying electric cars if they are better in every important category is pretty much proven by now.

The second, that they are able to produce them at a profit is still to be proven, but economies of scale play a big role in that and they are first beginning to really leverage those.
I don’t understand why one would expect to be able to compete with iCloud, google drive, one drive. They have so much cash to burn.
And where the heck do you charge a Taycan or any other EV that’s not a Tesla? Never mind the fact that the Tesla beats every other EV on the road for a moment. The killer feature is the supercharger network. Are other manufacturers going to build 12000-15000 chargers all over the country that can top off the battery in 10-15 minutes before or after they build a decent car? You can’t take these other cars on anything but local trips if you can’t charge quickly. Most public chargers only charge at about 30 mph.

> The massive waste of resources involved in hauling 2 tons of steel and glass down from speed to 0

Even without slowing down this is huge waste of resources. The fact we allow people to do this is insane.

> When I rule the world, there will be a ban on 4-way stops, red arrows, and parking lots without walkways.

You are insane if you think you can make cars safe. They should just not be around people at all.
I think this is because of the context at the time. Your borrower should be aware of what they're signing up for. Debtor's prisons also existed. There is a lot different then than now and I think lending is a much safer activity today if is regulated properly.

I like to think of religion as early law. Pork was also probably not a very healthy meat to eat at the time. Now it is probably an outdated thing.

Iceland, Canada, and China all have programs to plant trees on public land.

The Canadian approach however is tree farming. Workers plant 75k trees each per summer and make about $60k in three months. The trees are later cut down and made into lumber. This is actually more ideal than letting the trees age-out provided the lumber isn’t later burnt.
Nextcloud and a NAS would both qualify as a hassle, I think. They have to be admin’d. After all NAS and FTP already existed when Dropbox launched.

I think the insulting part of "cishet scum" is "scum." I definitely see "cis" and occasionally "cishet" as entirely denotative self-identifications in spaces where it's relevant and trans and non-heterosexual folks are at least more visibly represented than in the world at large, and it's neither positive nor negative, it's just what one is.

The phrase "male chauvinist" doesn't mean there's an intrinsic negative connotation in calling someone "male," nor does the phrase "nasty woman" mean it's intrinsically negative to call someone a "woman." (Of course, both terms might be used as insults in context / with tone / etc.)

It’s still a valid question, it could easily be a party as well. I’m sure everyone is aware of the post Saddam situation in Iraq.
There will continue to be unrest in Iraq until an all-Shiite government is in control.

At the time of Gulf War II under W, the population was about 20% Sunni, 20% Kurdish, and 60% Shiite. So if you disarm the minority ruling Sunni establishment and instead pledge to install a democracy, a Shiite government is the logical conclusion.

Since realizing their mistake, the US has attempted to patch together some multi-religious, multi-ethnic government, but these are all destined to failure. The Kurds want to be left to their own devices, the majority Shiites want to rule the south of the country with most of the oil, and they want the Sunnis left out of power in the deserts to the West.

George HW, being smarter than George W, pulled his punches, left Saddam in power, and left him with helicopters to kill enough Shiites to prevent a successful rebellion of the "marsh Arabs", as they were called in news reports back then.

X-Plane 11.40 Beta Release Notes
Transmissions from ground to orbit tend to be highly directional (it's why satellite TV/internet typically uses dishes instead of ordinary antennae). Detection from the ground would be pretty difficult, given that most (ideally all, but there's probably at least some leakage) of the signal will never reach anything else on the ground (for the same reason you typically can't see the beam of light from a flashlight or laser pointer unless it reflects off dust or fog or some other particulate in the air).

The most reliable way to detect ground-to-space transmitters would be with aircraft, since those will have a much easier time crossing paths with the signal (and thus actually being able to see it).

In Australia and Aotearoa we have the "Men's Shed" movement, because men typically do things together rather than having socialising as their primary goal. Work with our inclinations, not against them :)

What I've found is that I tend to have "deep friendships" that activate when I am with friends, and what counts is remembering to go and visit the friends. Sure, if I need something I will ask and they will do whatever they can, but that's kind of the minimum possible relationship.

It feels a bit weird to message someone and say "I'm taking time off work to visit your city, specifically to hang out with you"... but it works, we both feel better for doing it, and it does actually help if we have something to do while we're together. So last week I went and helped put up a mezzanine in a friend's new factory, then went and helped organise another friend's shed. We also talked a bit about feelings, which is uncomfortable but also useful. And (obviously) a good dose of "I remember that I enjoy hanging out with you".

Attaching a second monitor doesn't suddenly make your main display useless.

One of the things I completely fail to understand is why most people I work with close their laptop displays when docked to secondary monitors.

I have a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor at home on my desk, and I use that plus my Macbook's display.

At work, I use 24x 24" 1440p monitors, and I use thoes plus my Surface Pro's 12" display.

When I'm out and about, on my Macbook or on my Surface, I definitely miss the extended displays. A lot.

Maybe, but a feature that works is worth more than a product that doesn't. Dropbox always works, everywhere.

I'm old enough to remember a world pre-Drobox (and pre-high bandwidth). I used to work at different places. I kept a laptop in each office, and carried with me Iomega disks that I synced every morning. It was slow and complex and error-prone.

Alternatives from either Apple or MS will never work as well, they will always favor the platform they come from (if they don't eventually drop the others).

It's not an overstatement to say that Dropbox changed my life; here's to hoping it never goes away.
