Adding to that, age laws are also a far more complicated topic than it might seem at first glance. Young people will generally lack education and experience, while chronic exposure to some chemicals can have drastic effects on physical development. Worse, developmental issues appear to overlap extensively with the previously mentioned "bad people" that criminal law is hypothetically supposed to protect us from. Personal liberties aside, there would be significant consequences to society if we couldn't reliably produce at least marginally functional and healthy adults.

Related to that, in many countries there seems to be some expectation of the government looking out for younger people to at least a limited extent. Compulsory education and foster care come to mind among other things.

I guess what I'm getting at is that raising healthy children seems to be much closer to a serious public health threat (ex pandemic) than to engaging in a risky activity (ex white water kayaking) when placed on a continuum.
Teachers in American schools are usually shit-scared of their students, which is the exact opposite of how things are in Russia, China, or even India.

There are many reasons. Parents and students wield too much power in the American school system, and the idea of tying a school's funding to local property taxes makes this worse.

In addition, America lacks the cultural norms of respect and deference for education and educators that are present in more traditional societies like India or China.
Thanks for the answers, I appreciate that.

If you have time, I have another round of questions:

1. Did you try formal methods like TLA+ on the client? I think that the logic covered by CanopyCheck may be a nice target.

2. Do you have some tests with several clients running at the same time on a shared directory? In particular, I think of the termination invariant where the clients are fighting because several users have reorganized the directory by moving a lot of stuff, and each client is trying to converge in a different direction (ie they are making operations that cancelled the ones made by other clients).

3. The article says "In the Nucleus data model, nodes are represented by a unique identifier". Does it happen that a node has to change its identifier? For example, in a scenario like this one:

(ada) $ offline
(grace) $ offline
(grace) $ mv ~/Dropbox/shared/TODO.txt ~/Dropbox/private-grace/
(ada) $ mv ~/Dropbox/shared/TODO.txt ~/Dropbox/private-ada/
(ada) $ echo 'foo' >> ~/Dropbox/private-ada/TODO.txt
(grace) $ echo 'bar' >> ~/Dropbox/private-grace/TODO.txt
(ada) $ online
(grace) $ online
I don't even understand the whole cut flower thing. It's morbid.

You cultivate something that is living and beautiful. Then you kill it, and bring the corpse inside, to essentially observe the once-living thing's decay.

(And don't get me started on giving cut flowers as gifts. If your host is an animal lover, you don't pick up roadkill on your way over, either.)
No, it's not. If it were gray then it would be already opinionated. Why #eee, why not #e9e9e9 or #fefefe or how about #c9c9c9? That doesn't make much sense and it's hard to settle on a color or should it be Tim Berners Lee average hair color? :)

So what remains is either black or white. White seems to be a more rational pick.

A long time ago I gifted my parents one of the early mid-tier Roombas that had beacons that you can place to avoid certain areas. I bought the Roomba plus several sets of beacons.

They were really excited to use it. We put beacons all around the house and then activated the Roomba on the hardwood floor near an obvious pile of dust in the middle of the living room. I figured that would be the Hello World test.

After about 10 minutes of watching it randomly bump into walls, get jammed under the couch, we started to get disappointed. But then it made a direct path towards the dust. We all got excited and then watched it simply go right over the dust without picking up anything. At that point I picked up the unit and kept restarting it over and over until it would pick up the dust.

We tried it on maybe two other occasions and it would just continuously get stuck within a few minutes (usually either between piano legs or under furniture that was raised about the same height as the vacuum). They re-gifted it back to me where it sat unused until I finally gave it away for free. That was well over a decade ago and I now realize that I had unrealistic expectations and possibly didn't give it a fair chance.

Have they improved much since then? My home has lots of hardwood floors throughout and I vacuum daily. Even though there's central vac access everywhere I prefer to use a Miele canister vacuum.
I've once read a HN comment that said that Aboriginees are economically useless and should work in a major city so that they can be useful. This completely ignores systematic risk posed by nuclear weapons or viruses like covid-19.

Those Aboriginees have much better survival skills than the average NYC resident and they are far away so they are more likely to survive global disasters.

and then come to the oldest civilization in the world, one of the most diverse, culturally rich society that has survived 200 years of Imperialist rule, an even more years under Islamist rape and plunder and looting, and then claim the democratically leader emerging from one of the biggest and universally agreed free and fair elections as 'extremely nationalist'.

Not a bad idea at all. You can have a separate class called “Arithmetic” and that can be used to learn arguably the most boring application of mathematics: operations on numbers. Maybe distinguishing mathematics from arithmetic will make people hate the subject less. Set theory alone you can get to continuum hypothesis. I’m sure children would find the idea that some infinite sets are bigger than other infinite sets quite fascinating.

In the unlikely event you aren't just trolling, this is because only extremely sick people are put on ventilators. The death rate for people with bad cases is higher when they don't have ventilation.

Works well with Sidecar when mirroring on iPad Pro.

The only thing I found is that the hit targets for the pen colors and clear screen button are perhaps a little small to tap with a pencil; I ended up drawing on the buttons accidentally a few times.

Switching colors with the keyboard shortcuts (1/2/3) and clearing with the c key works fine alongside the pencil, though.

I also instinctively tried to tap two fingers on the iPad as an “undo stroke” command, as that's how other iPad drawing apps often work, but that obviously does nothing in this case at the moment.

It would be useful to have an “undo stroke” shortcut in the app so users could map to the shortcut from a gesture (not sure Sidebar supports that but I think AstroPad does: https://astropad.com/magic-gestures/ ).

Not really. The response from the Dutch government was that they did want to help, but did not want to hold the responsibility for paying back the loan from the countries. Which would have been the case with Eurobonds.

Instead, they wanted to help but had some financial reform obligations tied to it, which Italy and Spain were not happy with.

> the highest value customers of most SaaS apps want these kinds of calls at least once a quarter.

Seriously? Why?? The point of a sales rep is to know me and my needs, and if they can’t get that from the notes on my file, then the company’s internal processes are exceptionally ill suited for sales.

And if I am that high value, repeat/continuous calls like that are a bloody waste of my time. Fine, touch bases with me occasionally to see if things have changed, but if nothing has, that phone call had better be over and done with inside of 120 seconds. I’ve got better things to do than shoot the shit with a sales person.

There were other kinds of "anti" things in the USSR, like antisemitism. I think the whole of the Eastern block had a tendency to be better at mathematics since you only need your own mind and maybe a textbook and a mentor. South Africa was heading towards a very strong mathematics school and then this same kind of phenomenon whereby you discount mathematics starting happening.

Edit: I mean that in the Eastern block you were better off in mathematics than in things like physics and chemistry. This holds for countries with historically diverging cultures from the Russians too (like Poland and Hungary).

Edit 2: I think perhaps it is also worth mentioning that you have "hardcore" on the one side and then pure artistic poetry on the other side. I've heard that French mathematics is a pleasure to read as it is both hardcore mathematics and well written prose. Some of the limitations on the Russian texts was also imposed by other restrictions: For example, the articles often had to be shorter than the authors would have wanted.

If induction is the only tool you have then it’s ok. What you really want is modular arithmetic. If you don’t have modular arithmetic then pricing it directly is hard:

n = Sum(d_k 10^k)
Let S = sum of digits = Sum(d_k)
n - S = Sum(d_k (10^k - 1))
But (10^k - 1) = ((9 + 1)^k - 1) = ((1 + k*9 + (2 choose k)*9^2 + ... + 9^k) - 1)
by binomial expansion so is divisible by 9.
Therefore n - S is divisible by 9, so n is divisible by 9 iff S is.
The same is true when you replace divisibility by 9 with divisibility by 3.

I remember being asked this in an interview for a place at university and I solved it by induction (which was all I had) and was then shown this direct proof.

It was the same thing in Romania, at least in the '90s, when I went to school/high-school. It was always strange to me seeing all those American movies of the "nerds"/geeks getting persecuted by the "cool" kids, it certainly didn't happen to kids in my school and I'm pretty sure it generally didn't happen to kids generally around the country.

I know because I was a "nerd" guy but I also played sports and actively enjoyed doing that, was never made fun of by my high-school colleagues because of me studying/getting high grades, that would have been pretty awkward to hear.

> there'd be a sharp trade-off where to make it impossible for passive eavesdroppers to know what you saw costs both you and the "broadcaster" a lot of bandwidth, and bandwidth ain't free

Off the top of my head: if you took a live streaming approach along the lines of live TV, or indeed Google Stadia/GeForce Now/OnLive, then you could presumably make the traffic patterns invariant over what was being watched. You'd need to ensure the bitrate didn't drop during low-detail scenes, I suppose, similar to what you mentioned re. Skype below.

That approach would of course be far more intensive on server resources, but I'm sure a similar level of privacy could be achieved without such inefficiency.

That is exactly right. The other people commenting to the contrary don't seem to know what they're talking about. Even in public schools it was common across the US until the late 1990s to have separate programs and classes (almost always referred to as "gifted" in some regard) for superior students. It wasn't viewed as unfair either, it was common and it was a point of pride to be in those classes, to be selected as a higher tier student.

Something changed in the last 20 years where treating students differently became considered unfair. The everybody gets a trophy syndrome took over.

Nice work! I bought it and tried it with Sidecar and an iPad Pro. It works pretty well. Some feedback:

1. Make the color/clear buttons a little larger. The hit targets are very small at the moment when using a Pencil on iPad. It's easy to draw on the buttons by mistake when you mean to press them.

2. Add a “stop annotating screen” button to the buttons, separated by some space so it's harder to press accidentally. That way I can end the annotation session from the iPad instead of having to use the keyboard or mouse.

3. Add a “undo stroke” command and shortcut. Users of AstroPad should then be able to map this to a two-finger tap, which would give a really nice undo workflow for drawing on screen. https://astropad.com/magic-gestures/. When annotating it's pretty common to want to undo a bad mark without having to clear everything you've drawn so far.
Be careful with that. We have seen recently (see social distancing apps) that even public health does not justify invasion of privacy, so why should online fraud?
They are friends of mine, but their feedback is legit :) Maybe we should be more explicit about it?
Since internet I listened to all new music from the 20th century. A lot of "old music" from foregone age was new to me. So new music is a relative term.

Btw, Macbook's touchpad can be used with a stylus intended for a phone. (And probably other modern touchpads can too.) Specifically, you can conceivably write or draw if you enable double-tap-and-drag for dragging.

Apple's Preview app allows drawing with the touchpad without double-tapping, to sign on a PDF. Presumably someone could make an app that would switch to such a mode system-wide on a hotkey, and dialed down the sensitivity.
