Why do people, who are willing to work on boring jobs must sustain capable, but unwilling?

In U.S., AFAIK, nobody prevents a person from starting their own community with mostly their own rules.

But the "free" homeless people you described instead prefer to leech on the streets built and maintained by the working people, paid by the taxes from the income, earned by everyone else in the country, who work their regular jobs.

Even if it is not a feeling of entitlement, that makes them do that, as described in another comment, it is simply stupidity, that makes them unable to recognize hypocrisy of their own actions.
Maybe I misread the article, but my understanding was she was saying the private schools she visited had exactly the same issue (forcing kids Infront of screens) as public schools. The only school that didn't was a Montessori school.

Ask HN: Do you feel comfortable learning new technology at work?
Or do you feel like the company can’t afford for you to be wasting time playing with stuff instead of building features?
Honest question, do those percentages add up?

Ex: You're 35, but you have asthma and high blood pressure.

Does that mean your mortality rate is 12.7%?

Also, your list says:
> no pre-existing conditions 0.9%
and
> 10-19 years old 0.2%
Does that mean a teenager with no pre-existing conditions has 1.1% mortality rate, or is it just 0.9%, or just 0.2%?

I'm honestly asking cause I know nothing about disease or mortality rates.

Code blocks are definitely not HN's quotation style and not recommended for quotes. They are often used for that purpose by mistake. It is an understandable mistake considering the lack of formatting options here.

A common quotation style that works on all devices is what I used above, a leading '>' followed by the quoted text enclosed in asterisks, like this (with code formatting here to show the special characters):

> *For the benefit...*

> *Blank line between paragraphs*
Even more natural if you write Ruby, which uses an identical syntax.

I can comment on a couple unexpected shortages we've seen in Asia: toilet paper, due to panic buying, and hand sanitizer.

There are also some concerns about medicines unrelated to the virus because many meds are produced in China and the supply chain here is all screwed up. So some might consider getting medicine refills for 30 days (or however long your insurance will let you) in advance. You also might not want to have to go wait in line at a pharmacy during a pandemic.

In terms of work: it may make sense to start thinking about what kind of work can be done efficiently remotely vs. on-site.

You also may want to think about finances in case the world sees a significant economic contraction. If lots of countries replicate what has happened in China, the world economy will be highly disrupted for at least a couple months.
> If you have no food at all for seven days

I strongly disagree with this characterization.

Sure, technically, most people aren't going to literally die, if they go without food for a couple days.

But I think that you underestimate the secondary effects that not having food for a couple days has on a person.

if they reached carbon neutrality?

But there's no standard or oversight for claiming "we bought credit for X tons of CO2".

Example: there are stewards of old-growth forests who are selling carbon credits based on "if we cut these down, X carbon would be released", even if they cannot do so anyway by law or deed. The Headwaters forest in CA is one.

Unless you know the exact basis for claimed credits, it essentially breaks down to a media/P.R. bribe.

Yeah she clearly has a favorite, but she points out flaws in both systems. I think that being critical of ones preferred system is noteworthy.

In theory I really like the economic model. By ensuring a revenue stream outside of ads, it should mean that we get the polish and longevity of a commercial product, but without having to pay for it (either with money or by giving up our privacy).

In practice, though, I wish it were more stable, with basic working features. Instead it seems like basic functionality is buggy[0], and major breaking changes could crop up at any time[1].

> For example, the point that you linked to says that the official recommendations on sleep are "7 to 9 hours", which Walker simplified to "an average of 8 hours". I don't see how this simplification is so bad

The simplification is no bad, most people need those hours for day to day. But there was a fair point made, within the nonsense, not everyone is the same.

I, hand on heart, know people who can roll on 3-4 hours sleep over the course of 4 months, fully aware and capable, there are those who are trained for it also, so outside the natural feeling to sleep, it can be (to an extent) manipulated.

> Here it's claimed that sleep deprivation is actually a good thing, because it can be used as a temporary treatment for severe depression

As an option its a super super quick temporary solution, just because your body and mind is working on other things.

It's not a treatment at all, just a distraction, like drinking, so I agree with you there and I think its bad advise to promote such, same way as drinking..

You are calling the dict function, and using the normal syntax for unpacking a dictionary into kwargs. In this case, the name for kwargs must be strings.

I definitely agree that this could potentially cause long-term damage. Amazon could be one bad counterfeit away from destroying its brand. Brand trust ultimately matters for consumers making a default choice of what to buy or where to shop.

To take an extreme example, as fears surrounding the Coronavirus spike, people are trying to buy 3M masks from Home Depot, not Amazon. It tells me consumers already have a trust issue building with Amazon when they are buying a product that needs to work.
Why do we always phrase it as changing the climate instead of facing that it's an energy balance issue? Too much energy is entering the earth and getting trapped.

We can solve it by letting less enter, or otherwise sinking some of it. Consider if we stored the excess energy as chemical energy? or reflected some fraction of the energy back out away from us?

reducing consumption is a failing project and the greener technology gets the more people increase their consumption in a compensatory way (Heat – George Monbiot) ...

This was my experience to a a T but then we hired a guy to solely manage the tests instead of having the developers do it and his tests caught a few false positives at the start but over time we were able to eliminate a 2-day+ crawl over the site by QA and UAT. My takeaway from this (which was the same argument I made back when we were failing at producing anything even usable let alone reliable) is: It needs to be someone's sole goal and I'll go a step further and say they should be on the outside of the team developing the main app. Being too close to the underlying code makes for a bad QA/Automated Tester IMHO. I have no problem even being the person who is managing/writing the tests but it's very hard to do both in my experiance.
And, you write microcode?
I think the point where it gets confusing is where they stop showing you how to do calculations. With programming, you are always calculating something, even if you abstracted away from it.

Victimless? Hah! Tell that to my young daughter who had a birthday package from her grandparents stolen, containing homemade cookies and some nice clothing.

"Hello Amazon? Yes, I'd like to get a refund on the package that my mom sent me. Wh-- no, listen... did you hang up on me?"

Anyway, the plan was to print out the picture of the thief and tape it up as a warning to not steal again, or find out whether the package was in fact delivered in the first place. Luckily, though, we haven't had any more thefts.

(I did end up catching someone stealing my tomatoes, and I later (gently) confronted her about it. She explained and apologized, we made friends, and she gave me some tomatoes from her own garden.)
Is there really so much need to take ourselves so seriously and simultaneously go out of our way to try and make others feel badly about the way they live their lives? It's unfathomable to me.

The article points out that the heads of perception and of motion planning have been replaced. That's big. The former head of planning Nathaniel Fairfield specifically has a legendary status there.
Like you, I’ve also been homeless myself in the past. I’m in the 80%. Using a combination of public and private help, I was able to pull myself out of homelessness after several months. I was eventually able to graduate with a degree, enabling me to become a software engineer. My experience matches the research. I’ve also volunteered at soup kitchens for a while. That personal experience also matches the research concerning the chronically homeless.
This crazy. It's like saying no one should have access to medical tests without a doctor's approval because some people will misinterpret their tests.
On your first point: you're presuming they reached carbon neutrality. But that is a claim that's been made, not something that has been proven. It's possible that the design, operation and monitoring of the market for voluntary carbon offsets means that the purchase of a carbon offset today results in the desired reduction of CO2 emissions today or in the next few days/weeks. But I don't know enough to trust that to be true. Do you?

EDIT: the above is a theoretical point. masonic included an example in a sibling comment.

On your second point:

- we can measure road usage using cameras at a much more granular level than that used by traditional congestion pricing schemes

- the traditional scheme with which I'm most familiar (London) has a flat fee for the whole day; so, once a vehicle has entered the zone once in the day, there is no incentive to limit distance. And vehicle-miles (not # vehicles) is what causes congestion. So I wouldn't want to settle for that type of design.

My exact sentiments. When Disney Plus came out, I actually attempted to watch the entire star wars lineup from start to finish, the prequels (episodes 4-6) were unwatchable, couldn't even get through those, but watching (more like sitting through) the last 2 reminded me of exactly why I wouldn't be seeing the latest one ...

> since Cebuano speakers are likely to be fluent in Tagalog and/or English as well

Likely, but not always. I've encountered areas, for example Bohol, in that region where only the local language was well-understood.

And "Taglish" is about as understandable as Japlish - lots of similarities to English, but what does it mean?

Same in Indonesia. Outside of the main cities on Sumatra, especially with older people, only the local language is used daily.
> the only things I pay attention anymore are methodology and data.

> This tells me: is the data relevant to my work? And was the data collected "properly" (I swear, half the time the researchers half-ass methodology that the results are fairly worthless)

I've come to the same conclusion, and I'm a theorist myself. Theory is hit or miss, mostly miss. I still read it just to find the nugget of truth if there is one. If the data is relevant and was collected properly then it can be a goldmine, regardless of the theoretical explanation given by the researchers. But often the researchers measure the wrong thing, or measure the right thing in the wrong conditions or with some other problem. (One major problem I've found is that the uncertainties on many measurements in my field are enormous, but don't need to be, and very few seems to have noticed or cared.)

OP was careful to frame the term. It's not a later edit, as you quote the framing too.

So the intention there is clearly a rhetorical one, that not being the point, but that advertising has managed to manipulate people against their better judgment. In that sense, yes, they are victims.

Besides, believing that people suffering from an ill that is destroying their lives are free to choose (when reality clearly shows they aren't) is a callous remark.

Eating disorders are very complicated. Eating is such a low level activity that easily supersedes any rationalisations. That's why it's a good example of how bad advertising can be. So again OP is right in calling those people victims.
Most healthcare is not for life threatening illness. The bigger problem in healthcare in the US is that consumers almost never know how much a service will cost beforehand.

I just gave a talk on similar work being done in microscopy: https://leapmanlab.github.io/nihai/jan20/ .

The tl;dr (in microscopy but apparently also in mri) is AI imaging can evidently enable new concrete solutions to intractable imaging problems, but the failure modes are really treacherous. The example on slide 39, taken from another excellent review paper, does a great job illustrating the problem. I think these methods will get more trustworthy, but i wouldn't stake my life (or my paper's prestigious research results) on them at the moment.
Sure, that works, and will continue to work. Forests on the other hand help when new, but reach a steady state.

However the problem is that at least for the near future burning oil, making plastic, and similar other carbon intensive processes make it near impossible to plant enough trees.

Carbon taxes, solar, wind, energy storage, and nuclear offer at least the possibility of offsetting carbon generation.... then plant and sink trees.

I do wonder how hard it would be to make a widget that with sunlight could make pure carbon bricks that would be useful as a building material. I think Cory Doctorow described it in one of his sci-fi books. Ideally self replicating of course.

We had a whole discussion on HN last time[1] about this, where I argued that dicts are logically subclasses of sets and therefore should share operators.

Personally I really struggle with the syntax and notation of upper-level math courses, I need a big cheat sheet of all the terms. It's like programming where we use i, j, k for loop variables instead of something more descriptive. My brain has to do one extra layer of translation between what's written and the concept being taught and then I lose focus, but intuitively I've always been fine with math concepts. When I took linear algebra in college (and did terrible) I particularly struggled with all the syntax that was introduced. Would love some tips if anyone else has a similar problem.
