I got similarly dismissive comments once when I pointed to the importance of PE for child development, not just physically but also social dynamics and team aspects, confidence building and so on.

HN crowd is a tough audience when it comes to adolescent socialisation, not everyone benefits from sitting in front of a computer from a young age.
That's alarmist and unfounded. The economy has recovered heartily, in general civil discord has gone away in most areas, and grocery stores aren't running out of food or going insane with prices - I'm still sipping fancy kombucha at the same rate I paid a year ago.

More people are concerned about whether their uber eats driver is going to show up on time than food riots at the moment. I don't see that changing in the immediate future.
Here’s the best I can find. The 1.5% comes from a viral image of why masks are important.

CDC says the numbers “show the right idea” but we don’t yet have studies that yield a specific percentage.

Actually, your choice is a combination of getting the license and voting. The DPPA defined who could have access and for what purposes. States can also restrict it further. The DPPA and state laws are created by the officials that citizens elect, and as part of being a citizen we consent to being governed by those laws. If this sort paradigm is a problem, then there are many other issues in out society that would need to be changed, such as TSA searches and taxes.
Exactly. Academic education (subject mastery and developing tools to learn), childcare (being safe and happy and engaged while parents are working) and social learning (making friends, learning to work/collaborate with a group) are generally bundled together as one concept in a very weird way. As families, communities and as a nation, we need to strive to provide enriching childcare to our kids, great social experiences and quality education to them. Sometimes these things happen at the same time, but they don't have to. And sometimes they are best addressed separately. If we start thinking and addressing them individually, we might find ways to do all of them better.
This hardly meets the definition of brief description, let alone a "Deep Dive".
Yikes. Measuring wellbeing by consumption is a VERY American perspective.
Any links?

For me it seems like (haven't measured) being only on the keyboard or only on the mouse is faster than trying to switch between the two, if only because I avoid the mental context switching.
I agree that this is a major issue and the macroeconomic forces at play here are forcing many peoples' hands.

That said, maybe you should google the phrase "The only winning move is not to play". It's a movie quote ;-)
“1 in 7 billion uses luxury of online anonymity to play at being a nihilist. Forgets real world self and political power is limited to whatever the masses enable. Would rather ostricize self politically than speak up.”
Unfortunately, we don't have a test environment. And the last time we tried to make one, it became a case-study in an ethics textbook.
The EU has more people than the US, now granted there are some poor people in that count, but it is still more than enough to make whatever difference you blame America for not making all alone.
> studies of fat consumption that break out fats into saturated, mono-unsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fat categories generally show worse health outcomes for people consuming high intakes of poly-unsaturated fats. I will try to find a good study.

This is counter to any study that I am familiar with and flies in the face of all nutritional recommendations. Studies that support MUFAs and PUFAs over saturated fats can be found in the references section of https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2016/12/19/satu....
> You mean basically a repeative videogame?

I mean more about the experience of driving. Clicking buttons is quite different to feeling the road through the steering wheel. In a normal video game you can just memorize the timing sequence.

I am trying to highlight the "focus on perception" part of the experience.

I would love to go and drive in an open road somewhere remote. And see and smell all these real things.

But I can't use my car right now (without paying a fine for breaking quarantine) so I use simracing.
> A little competition never hurt, right?

Optimism is fine, but realistically, yes, competition over a name for another video game can definitely hurt you.
Where I live, all new taxes or tax hikes have to be approved by ballot measure. I believe it's true of the last place I lived as well (different state). So if you live somewhere that the government has the ability to unilaterally levy taxes and does not even pretend to act on the behalf of its constituency, I think the problem goes beyond Netflix.
Or a high minimum wage is a way to have employers cover the government’s welfare costs?

Who really should front the bill for low earners to live above poverty, and why?
I felt that
>Yes but presumably electricity is order(s) of magnitude cheaper than jet fuel.

It's really not even about the cost of fuel. With aviation it's all about maintenance costs. Electric aircraft will be orders of magnitude simpler and cheaper to maintain than jet turbines. This is what will unlock cost effective small scale commuter routes, allowing you to just hop on a small 10 passenger plane at a neighborhood airport and take a 300 mile flight with no need for security.
Purely from my own perspective, if this is deep then I'd like to see a 'deeper' dismissal in that case. I read the first 4 paragraphs, and I didn't see anything that warranted the word 'crazy'.

Developmental problems? Maybe, although I'd honestly like to see some stronger evidence from people claiming that. Non-typical learning styles? Maybe? But we're talking about a 5 year old, temper tantrums are completely normal.

A lot of commenters here arguing fiercely that there's something deeply wrong with a toddler who's used to being in a physical space with physical people within a specialized environment, having a different reaction to being sat in front of a static screen for an extended period of time in a home setting.

A lot of commenters dismissing the idea that virtual meetings might be more draining or difficult for some people, which seems very... I'm surprised to see that attitude on HN of all places, we should know better than anyone that different people deal with isolation and physical proximity in different ways.

If the original poster can point to specific language that makes them think something is wrong with the parent or child, then they should point to that language. I think it's inappropriate and shallow to throw around labels like 'crazy' just because a child is misbehaving.
Wrong.

Fed did not purchase a single share of HTZ.

They hold two ETFs that include Hertz corporate bonds. Not stocks. Bonds. And not new issues.
I tend to find the libertarian argument appealing, as well, but you're making a whole lot of assumptions.

I think your worst unchecked/unstated assumption is that "unemployed people are all looking for a job below the minimum wage but are unable to find one". That's simply untrue. "Unemployment" in the US is defined as people who are actively searching for a job (not merely those who do not HAVE a job), but there is no requirement that they accept any job at any (legal) wage.

Presumably, the vast majority of unemployed people, even in good times, would not accept work $1 below the minimum wage, even though they are actively searching.

IOW: You are assuming that the entire reason these folks are unemployed is because they are not allowed to contract their labor for a lower wage.
Hah, now you've got me imagining a gentle rain of 18650 batteries following a plane as it travels across the sky.

That was part of my question. Those fashion brands are also "mass".

I'm not talking exclusive to rich people Armani's here, I'm talking all the mass market luxury brands. Heck, even Nike's $200+ sneakers...
Here's a crazy idea: What if we raised our children to process their difficult emotions instead of suppress them and stay active and move freely while working and studying (instead of sitting in a chair at a desk)
I expect you to be cheering when Iran assassinates Trump for reneging on the nuclear deal and killing a high level general (among a laundry list of aggressive actions) and installs its own puppet.

> Are you suggesting that all governmental responsibilities ought to be thrown out the window every time power changes hands?

Governments have responsibilities to their own citizens, not foreign corporations. In the end the person with the biggest stick wins, but lets not pretend like overthrowing democratically elected governments for access to natural resources from their land is a moral imperative.
No one said anything remotely close to that.
And support. That $200 goes to paying accountants, sales staff, executive, marketing, custodians, etc. All of which help keep that $250/hr paycheck rolling in and getting distributed.

When I was working solo, I could not bill out remotely close to what I can as part of a firm. Not to mention that I had to find a cheap accountant, pay for office space myself, etc.
yes. And no, it's a major security problem that we're only just beginning to realise is a major security problem.
> The wise don't build castles

We would still be trying to kill food by throwing rocks if we were wise.
Same. Yeah I think people love to blame this on entirely on junk food, but seems it is largely an increase in sedentary lifestyle.
I think it's just what you're used to.

Put me in front of a Linux desktop, and I can just start working.

Put me in front of a Windows desktop, give me 30 minutes to set up what I need, and I can start working.

Put me in front of a Mac, and come back to me still yelling at it five hours later.

I'm sure I could learn if it was worth the time to me, but I definitely wouldn't argue that it's superior (for me personally at least).
I hope that's correct. I don't mind setting it up, I just don't want to have to manually import pictures from it. Thanks for pointing it out.
"Get ahead" in what sense?

Yay, now some 7-year-olds will be just as educated as some other 8-year-olds, and will be able to skip a grade when school resumes. So.. what?

Also, why don't we imagine something better than just keeping kids at home all day.

Having a year devoted to outdoor activities instead of formal education would be wonderful for everyone, including the teachers (who can still have work), parents (who can get some time away from the kids), and, most importantly, the kids (who are effectively under house arrest until they turn 12).
If, by "a little time", you mean a few years, until they're psychologically developed enough that you can expect this of them.

"The way we need them to learn" strikes me as a very telling choice of words. This is a moment where we need to be meeting their needs, not just molding them to our expectations.
Of course on web they have email. Of course that only actually works about 5% of the time. No wonder their retention numbers are trash...
Another example that has come to mind lately is how do you quantify non-production skilled or intellectual labor?

The value of maintenance, safety, quality are often only only apparent after being cut
> The government does have the power to regulate what you do with your body when your body interacts with the public.

I agree, and think this is probably for the best. My opinion is that these laws are rightful when the interaction is direct and obvious. If I smoke in enclosed spaces, I am directly increasing other peoples' chance of cancer, giving them no choice over their bodies. This is analogous to how one's freedom to move their body doesn't extend to hitting other people in the face.

I do not agree with the government imposing restriction based on indirect, ambigous harm, like the "harm to society" that drinking sugary drinks which might lead to obesity causes. Harm to society has been used to justify a myriad of harmful policies. Unless there is a very clear, direct link between an action and harm to a person, the government has no business stepping in.

(Of course, this is all just my opinion, I'm presenting this as a justification for my viewpoint.)

Also we shouldn't forget that "American independence" really also means "selfish". Many Americans can care less who dies, as long as it directly doesn't affect them, thus fights about simple things like mask compliance, or not going to a bar for a while.

That in addition to the federal government not supporting people and businesses while the economy is shut down, leads to this obvious outcome we're experiencing right now.
> If a company wants to pay less than market rate for labor they will find themselves without employees.

What if multiple companies in an area do that? What incentive does a entering company have to increase wages if employees will take jobs at lower wages nevertheless because they need to eat?

> But, that is the result of people willingly entering a contract for the lower pay.

This viewpoint ignores that people need to work in order to eat. It's not exactly willing if your alternatives are "accept this contract or starve".
Its a subtle threat that there will be hell to pay if this Brooklyn 5 year old doesn't get on an elite prep school track due to annoying public health needs.
I understand dealing with children, I'm not being dismissive (at least I don't think I am) of that.

I'm confused why this was written or published. There is no "point".

Yes, it's very hard to keep adults much less kids cooped up in a house all day. Especially for 6+ months. But, what else are we supposed to do?

This is just a paid, public gripe that a lot of people can relate with, but what purpose does it serve? There isn't an alternative unless the author is pushing for schools to open regardless of COVID, which I doubt.
It cannot really be that hard to teach a deep learning engine how to surf the web while tailoring itself to a given user's tastes and filtering out all the egregious crap. It should be substantially easier in fact, than teaching a DL engine how to play a video game, because all the HTML and JS that generated the page is available to the engine to reason about in addition to the pixels.

As an added bonus, it should be easy to teach the engine to "see" all the monkeyboxes and eliminate them while at the same time giving no clue to the upstream server that AI was involved in improving the human user's experience.
Here's another (somewhat older) quote from a famous book from China: "If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself"
In the short-term, while Uber and Lyft leave the market, any shared-ride service may be better than no shared-ride service, so a replacement may have a low bar for "good enough."

Then it can improve over time.

Of course, where possible, more public transportation, biking, and reducing or replacing travel works too.
$1200 check sent out like 4 months ago. That money is long gone.
Does a GUI actually solve any of these problems?
That's honestly an entirely legitimate point, but no nation, to my knowledge, at this point in time, has the ability to take out thousands of satellites, which is what either this or SpaceX's variant use. Besides which, taking out that many satellites would run a very real, very likely risk of kicking off an actual end to space exploration for a century while we waited for the space dust to settle. I'm not saying "no," but I'm saying "less likely than you think."
I enjoy my work quite a bit. Vacations, not so much. I like the challenge, I like being in the game.

I have no plans to ever retire.
How are you going to produce a KitKat?
How would you answer those arguing, variously:

1. It's wealth inequality / extreme weath / the wealthy nations (say: OECD, G-8, G-20) which are the bulk of the impact problem.

2. Technology will transcend any inherent global limits.

3. Limits may exist, but Earth could sustain far more people, possibly trillions.

4. Attempts to limit reproduction are authoritarian, eugenicist, and/or nationalistic.
> not consider much of the existing structure

Could you provide examples of such structures?
In some real economic sense the money is gone, though. Think for a moment of money not as some abstract numbers, but a representation of a claim on actual, real resources and suppose for example you go for a haircut, stop at a cafe on the way back, have a coffee and a pastry, all in the local economy. The resources you've consumed - the coffee and food, the workers' time, the space in the cafe and barbers - all those are gone, they don't recirculate. When that money gets spent, the person spending it is claiming a whole new set of resources with (in a sense) new money created through the process of it circulating within the economy.

One interesting corollary of this is that speeding up the recirculation of money increases the money supply and slowing it down decreases it, just as though some central bank was actually printing or destroying money. This is particularly relevant right now, when a lot of countries seem to be running the metaphorical money printers flat out and the circulation of money has been temporarily impaired by extremely limited things to spend it on.
If we were a space-faring people with automated robots doing space mining, collecting and processing materials, if there was no shortage of resources and nearly everything was automated - then sure, fine, people can have their utopian space-communism, culture-series, setup where everyone gets free money and can have whatever they want, and do whatever we want.

But we're so many lightyears away from that situation. Our resources are very much limited. If people don't keep producing, we just stagnate and decay. We're nowhere near the point we need to be.
I certainly can't really deal with all-day conferences over video. I dip in and out. And I would observe that what many tech events are doing is spreading things out over more days with shorter windows per day. If a one-week workshop at MIT felt it needed to transition to shorter sessions over 3 weeks for video, that just might say something about online learning for kids.
It has nothing to do with first-past-the-post. You can have 10 parties, 100 parties, in fact first past the post is designed for more than two parties.

If you have people in 5 parties to vote for in your riding(district?), then first past the post is the only way it works easily! Seldom will one of those 5, get 50.1% of the vote!

And why would they? The most popular wins, the people have spoken.
You Don’t Need the Privacy Shield to Hold EU Data
I think the idea of this being an "area of discussion" is disingenuous, as those who consume the course (employees/creators of the software), have very little control over the ethics of AI. There will always be another coder who just graduated and looking to make money. I just disagree on the premise that having some engineers learn ethics can meaningfully change the state of things
Fast.ai really is a one stop shop for all things related to being a deep learning practitioner.

I used to manage a deep learning team, concentrated on using TensorFlow properly, etc. I am all but retired now so I am making the switch to using the fastai libraries and materials. Since I am now a “gentleman scientist” (being retired) I still enjoy projects and some research, but I am also cutting out all unnecessary time wasting activities to concentrate on things that most fascinate me.

Off topic, but I think this is good general advice: try to not follow the crowd, but rather, go for what most resonates with who you are, where you want to steer your career, etc.
However you are ignoring that while you can spin the blades more efficiently, however scaling an electric motor to that size may end up with even more weight, you also have to replace the turbojet portion of these motors. So you will need even more engine. That turbo jet is more efficient at speed while the fan is better at lower speed.

In the end we would have slower planes but we will eventually reach a point where we can do it.

Someone can probably explain it better and my understanding is rough and not current; jets were cool when I was kid
> the equivalent ICE would be 500+

It's not quite that heavy. An LT1 makes 500 horsepower and weighs less than 500 pounds.
Many Americans are very apolitical, and either don't know or don't care about what the US government does if it doesn't affect them or their friends and families.

When they do care about politics, it's mostly about domestic politics, and Americans tend to have a massive ignorance about what's going on in the rest of the world or the history of any other country.

Civic education and history are not a high priority in the US. American schools tend to be more interested in pumping out people with STEM degrees and business people than about teaching them anything to do with the humanities.

On top of that Americans are constantly lied to and manipulated by their media and politicians, and politicians often act in ways that the American people don't approve of or are not informed of.

So I wouldn't blame the American people for Trump's actions. More and half of those Americans who voted (who aren't nearly all Americans old enough to vote), most voted against electing Trump to be President, and many of them despise him.

That said, Hillary Clinton was a hawk, so even had she become President it's not clear how favorable US government policy would have been towards Iran.

But I wouldn't blame the American people for that either, as America's policy towards Iran was never a major issue in the election (if it was an issue at all), and Americans don't tend to even elect people on policies or issues (which they rarely pay attention to unless it affects them) but on the candidate's image and personality.

Anyway, most Americans have no clue what the US foreign policy towards Iran is, couldn't find Iran on the map, and don't have even have the faintest idea about its history or the history of Iranian-American relations. And for those who know something about it, what they do know (or think they know) probably comes from an occasional 2 minute segment on TV news.

People (all over the world) generally just want to live their lives and be left alone. They don't deserve to be branded enemies for the actions of their governments.
There's "economics" and then there's real world effects. Take some time to study what actually happens in countries with a living wage.
I have two 7 year olds and a 9 year old. They are taught a remote curriculum, supplemented by homework in the form of online quizzes that reward correct answer with turns at a video game. They LOVE doing this homework, which is every bit as rigorous as the homework done via paper sheets, because it rewards them for getting their answers right in a way that a number at the top of a page never would. And they get their homework done quicker since procrastinating just keeps them from playing the games.
Your logic is flawed in that shares aren't simply "destroyed" they have to be bought back on the open market at an agreed upon price from a willing seller. The sellers of the shares may not want to sell and will therefore require more than the perfect price 𐤃X that accounts for adjustment of market cap based on reduction in shares.

In theory if no one wants to sell shares of Apple during a buyback the share price will head towards infinity. There's always a price though that someone will let go of a share at.
