Yeah, +1 anecdata.

I was homeschooled for a while and saw a lot of the other homeschooling families via the school district resource center thing, which even the real extremists interacted with at least some. From my perspective, it was broken into three major groups: religious conservatives concerned with the moral purity of their kids, upper-middle class professionals interested in accelerating their kids as much as possible, and a grab bag of students from various socioeconomic stripes who'd had trouble with the standard school system for various reasons.

I was one of the second. My mom has advanced degrees in education. My dad's an attorney. I did fine, as did basically everybody else in that cohort. Even then, the impression my friends and I had was that the religious kids spent an awful lot of time on literal bible study and weren't so hot on "actual" education. These suspicions were borne out when it was time for the state standardized tests they wanted homeschooled kids to take - every kid from the second of those cohorts (and many from the third) blasted though them, while those from the first visibly struggled. The religiously-motivated cohort also managed to out-weird a bunch of kids who spent much of their time on mid-2000s 4chan as young teens, which is actually pretty impressive.

Anyway, I agree that the reason a student is homeschooled (and by proxy the resources and pedagogical methods available to them) is a much better predictor of overall outcomes than a simple homeschooled/not binary. When there's such significant clustering in a category, trying to make judgments only utilizing knowledge/stereotypes regarding the category as a whole is a good way to be misled.
Sanna Marin of Finland to Become World’s Youngest Prime Minister
The problem is there is no easy way to know in large swaths what jobs are BS or unnecessary.

And of course someone could have a BS job and then later move on to a job that does have an impact!

Trying to evaluate the worth of people is pretty much futile, and whenever it has been attempted there have been huge negative outcomes.

And even during less extreme historical circumstances, it is just expensive to do, the recent example being drug testing for welfare recipients. The cost to do the drug testing far exceeded the money the government saved denying benefits.

In the end being non-judgemental and treating people equally turns out to be a rather economically efficient solution.
Many reasons to be dubious about bitcoin and its liquidity and how much wash trading goes on, but it seems a bit odd to judge it by the amount of outstanding coin being traded. How much gold that exists is actively traded? Or even the same question for a typical company stock?
Bird puts out a lot of promotional material without people wearing helmets. They lobbied the CA government to change the law so that helmets are not required. They tried the lobby Oregon to change the same law there but were basically laughed out of the state.

A good lawyer could argue that riders do not know they need to wear helmets on the scooters.

I think those are two separate ideas. I agree we shouldn't have a culture of "farming out" childrearing, but I disagree offering childcare options has to encourage that. I think in any case, we need work environments more sensitive to work/life balance.

A lot of parents who chose to stay at home described having multiple young kids as chaos and "just trying to survive." I also get, "It's just so nice to talk to adults." Higher end communities offer a lot of options for temporary childcare; daycare programs that are 2-3 hours, gyms, and groceries offering childcare while you're there that seem specifically focused on stay at home parents. Those aren't options for most people.

Just an hour or two break can really help recharge, or just plan appointments or outings. If you're lucky enough that they sleep through the night or nap, you're still tethered to the house. I really think doing things outside of a relationship helps make parenting more fruitful, but since being a parent is 24/7 you just don't have options unless you have a strong network and are willing to ask/pay for help.
Speaking as a college dropout, the grass is always greener.

On the one hand, I've never had my lack of a degree be an issue in tech, especially startups. Some founders even place a weird bonus on being a dropout and see you as more of a hustler than degree-holding employees.

On the other hand, there are some opportunities that are closed off to me unless I decide to finish my degree. For example, I would have liked to get an MBA or go to law school for fun, but those options are completely closed off. You absolutely must have a four-year degree.

Another one that came up recently, I've been thinking of taking a break from tech and going into public service, all the jobs I saw in the three-letter agency I was interested in also had a hard requirement on a four-year degree.

A degree isn't necessary for everyone, it certainly wasn't for me and it's nice that I had almost two years as a head start on my career in tech. However, I wouldn't encourage people to drop out.

Having a degree gives you options. You're better off with those options than without. You don't _have_ to take out 200k in loans. There's fantastic public education systems like CUNY that you can take advantage of.
It doesn't take a few weeks to learn to drive a car safely. In Australia it takes 3 years and 100 hours of driving with someone else to get a license.
There is no distinction between corporations and the government in America. The corruption is not even a secret anymore. The people of this nation are run through so many debt pipelines in the pursuit of a simple life. Everyone is profiting off the people because our corrupt government no longer protects us. Wealth is being stripped away from citizens like never before. The student debt pipeline is just another aspect of this corrupt systems complete control of the people.

I know people in silicon valley are caught up in a mania and don't give a shit about their fellow countrymen, but the corruption will come for you too. You watch with complete indifference as your fellow countrymen die from despair all around the country because their jobs are being taken from them, often leaving them no options. That corruption will come for you someday too. And there will be no one left to hear your screams.

This "fuck you, I got mine" attitude will doom us all.
Sorry but i said i just know this from people in the industry.
Obviously you will want some concrete math so you believe stranger. Well I cant give it to you.
I have seen nearly zero job postings for positions that could be filled by new college grads.

There are numerous postings seeking interns. There are quite a few require 1-3 years experience. There are many seeking qualified professionals. I have seen almost nothing that would permit a new college grad to gain a position.

This leaves me wondering several things. One, how did business manage to offload the cost of absorbing the educated but inexperienced into the profession back onto the people. You can listen to people in hiring or executive positions bemoan the costs of training new software engineers, but how did we get to a point where literally everyone other than business is expected to bear every cost of doing business.

And two, how do new college graduates find work without either creatively interpreting the meaning of "experience" (that is, lying), or just ignoring the requirements portion of the job postings to which they reply.
So most bitcoin isn't moving. That's not new.
I think there are multiple solutions out there.

Our solution is called Piral, https://github.com/smapiot/piral, however, we do not believe that mixing technologies should be a solution - it's rather a workaround (which we also support). The real deal from our point of view is in independent development, deployment, and modular, decoupled thinking.
Fidelity Cuts Its Valuation of Juul to New Low
I live in MA, and I've used in-home daycare.

My current provider is a husband and wife team, and they aren't getting rich. (They charge $50 / day.)

Previously, I used an in-home provider where she ran a smaller in-home daycare, and her husband had an engineering job. They (household) had more money than my wife and I did. Ironically, even though she charged $55 a day, because she provided all food, it was "cheaper" due to time saved on our end.
Infant != kids.

Twins are quite stressful for mothers, and 4 infants would be like having quadruplets. Usually the ratios continue to rise as the children get older. Here's California's rules, for example. From kindergarten (66 months age on average) and up it's 14:1

- Infants (birth to 18 months old) -1:3

- Toddlers (18 months to 36 months old) -1:4

- Preschool (36 months to enrollment in kindergarten) - 1:8

- Children enrolled in kindergarten through 14 years old - 1:14

My point exactly. I run my stuff on GCP.
If I remember correctly, it depends on when and by what authority they were issued. I think some are specific to a town whereas others extend to the whole county.
Computational photography from selfies to black holes
Most of those families with multiple kids don't have 5 infants, but rather ages of the children are spread out. The ratio GP is talking about is, I believe, a limit so that infants are not neglected due to lack of time on the caretakers part. Infants do need lots of care and attention specifically during early development.
Those splits are probably based on census metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs)
> handle complex social dynamics which don’t go away when you become an adult.

In my experience, most of the social dynamics of childhood completely disappear in adulthood. Adult generally don't spend most of their waking time with 30 or so other adults who were all born within 6 months of each other.
Montana is not particularly inexpensive. A lot of wealth there living outside a spotlight. Note how well kept the bar interior appears in the photos.
Slightly related, I was surprised to learn how much Google still relies on satellite data for mapping roads. I found a road (pretty isolated, but there were occupied houses on it) less than an hour from Mountain View that, according to Google Maps, didn't exist (it just ended in front of the woods according to Google - I went for a few miles before Google was able to locate me on a road again).

I'm not surprised this is their approach; I am surprised that this many years later a street so close to their headquarters could still be invisible to them.

You're absolutely right. I was homeschooled K-12 and grew up hearing praise because I was good at "carrying myself like an adult" and socializing with adults, but I had no idea how to make friends or socialize with PEERS. Homeschool kids don't have the opportunity to have "cringe" moments that other posters here seem to regret and feel are unimportant to kids (or should avoided altogether) because they're often admonished to act like small adults.

That's why there's so many unemployment numbers. They actually capture a pretty full picture when we find the right one for the conversation. In this case the rate of voluntary quits has been steadily improving and looks healthy:

Here here. And the only thing that makes Debian an interesting brand is the quality consistency of the official repository.

If someone doesn't like apt & the main repository they shouldn't use Debian because that is pretty much the only big thing separating Debian from the tens to hundreds of other distros out there. Take apt and the main repo out of Debian and it is basically Linux From Scratch with a bigger team of bugtesters. Distributions aren't 'jealous' about packet management, they are the packet management. It is right there in the name "Debian distribution". The Debian brand, and all linux distro brands, are deeply linked to how they execute packet management to distribute software.
I believe that the repo gets verified automatically as a daily thing, but our IT department was verifying it hourly. They have stopped.

I think that the hourly verification was put in to try to diagnose some problems that were actually or suspected to be related to WMI corruption.

Even daily verification is going to cause problems, they are just less likely to be noticed, until they get to the 30+ minutes level.

Yes, supposedly the client scrapes it using the website. They have a number of third party integrations they do this for. It's actually a point of contention for them to add more third parties within the community.

> Yet 81 percent of the leading health economists agreed with the statement, “The primary reason for the increase in the health sector’s share of GDP over the past 30 years is technological change in medicine"

I've highlighted the role of technological change on my blog before, but technological change is a major proximate cause. The root cause is income growth. Countries are chasing these technological advancements in direct proportion to their income and the degree to which they can afford them (as prices fall, countries with lower real incomes are more able to afford technologies the US and other rich countries had long before, but the frontier has long since moved on....). If you throw year fixed-effects or a time trend into analysis the coefficient on time (a proxy for tech chg) is very modest and the income effects are virtually identical.
The Heisenberg compensator works very well, thank you.

Sounds like you got caught up in Blockchain hype, not Bitcoin hype.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Duke Power Co had an explicit policy restricting its black employees to "labor" positions. It changed its requirements exactly 1 day after the 1964 Civil Rights Act took effect, and added a mechanical proficiency and Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test to its requirements. The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test itself isn't a terrible good measure of fluid or crystal intelligence, but it does a good job of measuring how much you remembered from high school... although some of the questions are word problem versions of "How many tablespoons in 2.5 cups" which IMO is just rote crap.

I believe that you are correct about the environmental damage done by producers in poorly-regulated countries. I believe that you are incorrect about how expensive it would be to do it cleanly instead.

Dumping untreated wastewater back into the river will always be cheaper than treating it, but dye residues in particular are fairly easy to treat so that the waste water is again safe to drink. Dyeing enough denim for a pair of jeans with proper post-treatment for wastewater is only slightly more expensive than doing it by dumping the untreated wastewater. But if there are no laws or weak enforcement, a lot of companies (individuals for that matter) will behave destructively to save less than a dollar per unit.
Those are Census metropolitan statistical areas.

> The U.S. Office of Management and Budget defines a set of core based statistical areas (CBSAs) throughout the country. CBSAs are delineated on the basis of a central urban area or urban cluster – in other words: a contiguous area of relatively high population density. CBSAs are composed of counties and county equivalents.[3] The counties containing the core urban area are known as the central counties of the CBSA. A central county is a county in which 50% of its population lives in urban areas of at least 10,000 in population, or where a population of 5,000 are located in a single urban area of at least 10,000 in population where that urban area is split between more than one county.[4] Additional surrounding counties, known as outlying counties, can be included in the CBSA if these counties have strong social and economic ties to the central counties as measured by commuting and employment. Outlying counties are included in the CBSA if 25% of the workers living in the county work in the central county or counties or, conversely, 25% of the employment in the county is held by workers who live in the central county or counties. All counties in a CBSA must be contiguous, and a county can only be included within one CBSA.[4] In New England, towns have precedence over counties, so statistically similar areas are defined in terms of town-based units known as New England city and town areas (NECTAs).

> Adjacent CBSAs are merged into a single CBSA when the central county or counties of one CBSA qualify as an outlying county or counties to the other CBSAs.[4] One or more CBSAs may be grouped together or combined to form a larger statistical entity known as a combined statistical area (CSA) when the employment interchange measure (EIM) reaches 15% or more.

San Jose and SF are combined in a combined statistical area, but the linkages are not strong enough to consider them a single metropolitan statistical area.
If you want to use some kind of automated reminder, you could put together something pretty quickly on AWS. Use a combination of step functions and lambdas to send texts via Twilio. I'm not sure of the pricing on Twilio but the AWS stuff will be free.

I would say use this in combination with a well labeled pill box would be a good solution.
I don't know why it seems odd to you, it is literally what Keybase has been about since its start: the point is that you can bootstrap trust by linking to multiple already known identities (like twitter, hn, github) in a secure way. Even if you dislike all the other things Keybase has done since, this is a significant improvement over web-of-trust or TOFU.

It should be trivially verifiable by yourself: just watch what requests your device is making. And the app itself is open source, so you should be able to trust it.

My father got hired on as a machine maintenance person almost immediately after he dropped out of college, with no previous training or experience whatsoever, and then bought his first house within two years. They trained him and he worked his way up on the job and held it for over 30+ years. Lets look to a quick Indeed listing typing in that same job title today and read a few off the top listing together that don't have 'senior' in the title.

Applicant must have 3 to 5 years’ experience

Three (3) years equivalent work experience required or a machinist/technical degree.

Technical degree/machinist certification or 4-6 years equivalent work experience required.

I mean if you are going to argue that this is the same way the market has always been, that is just completely incorrect, both anecdotally and statistically.
