Japan has something similar. When children finish junior high school at age fifteen, they apply to high schools they want to attend. Some high schools have college-prep curricula, some are vocational, and some are comprehensive. Some schools are very competitive to enter, while others admit nearly anybody.

Teenagers are not required to attend high school and some start working full-time after finishing junior high school. Special day and evening high-school programs are available for them if they want to keep studying while they work.

In areas with high population densities, such as Tokyo or Osaka, there might be dozens of high schools, both public and private, within commuting distance by public transportation. In rural areas and on remote islands, the choice is much more limited; I've known people who moved to a city at age fifteen and lived with relatives or alone in order to attend a college-prep high school.

My two daughters grew up in Tokyo and Yokohama and went through public schools. When they were in junior high school I accompanied them on visits to several local high schools while they were deciding where to apply. The older one ended up attending a comprehensive high school because it gave her an opportunity to study a variety of subjects. The younger one wanted to do computers, so she chose a vocational high school that had a programming track. They both got through their schools unscathed, though neither seemed to have had a particularly inspiring experience.

I myself attended an urban public high school in Southern California in the 1970s. My experience was similar to those of many commenters here: it was largely a waste of time for me, and it could sometimes be very unpleasant. I was happy and relieved when I got out and started college.

Based on my limited experience, I can’t say that the Japanese high-school system is any better than the American. But the Japanese system is very different, and if systemic reform is ever attempted in the U.S. educators and politicians would be wise to study it and other countries’ systems to see if anything positive can be borrowed from them.

I don't understand your argument, people should do things they're bad at to keep some other company from getting too big?

A really creepy use case for this would be to combine it with one of those IP-to-company name lists. If you visit a vendor it could play a video greeting you by mentioning your business name. “Click here to learn what we can do for Acme Industries!”

Again, super creepy and not really clear if it would drive engagement.

Chop Suey was my late father's favorite dish to order when we visited a Chinese restaurant. He remembered first having it as a boy in the 1920's in Detroit.

In fact I've seen Detroit pictures from that era and you can see big signs advertising Chop Suey restaurants.

But sometime in the eighties it began disappearing from Chinese restaurant menus and I'm not certain why? Perhaps it became less popular over time.
If your system is cryogenic you can absolutely still use wax and wax-like products. I sealed an aluminum can for something like 30 LHe cool downs with a mixture of glycerine and soap.

Future cryogenicists: glycerine+soap is amazing because you can wash it away with hot water before you finally take the part to get re-welded. Most epoxies/sealants can't be cleaned so easily, fouling any future welds.
Nebulae are an argument in favor. They are observable b/c they're not dense. They have a very high surface area to mass ratio.
Light passes through them and they have absorption spectrum. They also emit a lot of black body radiation.

By contrast a moon size object has a very low surface area to mass ration. It has no absorption spectrum b/c light can't pass through - and any black body radiation would be negligible b/c of relatively small surface area
not to defend Amazon or anything, but are we sure this is actually sharing your internet connection? the way i understand it is that this would be strictly Amazon devices and strictly for control traffic (ie reboot/configure your device). It shouldn’t be possible to straight up browse the web or download whatever. I may be terribly wrong.

Also, this does not excuse the fact that they made it opt out. If it was opt in and new devices came with it... maybe...
You mean, like AirTag/Find My?

I think that Amazon's marketing for this is horrible, reminds me of XBox' failed marketing around their online-only plan for XBox One game purchases [1].

But really all they've done is built AirTags as a platform rather than an application, e.g. Tile is supported by Amazon's new platform.

I don't want to give random people with random apps any amount of arbitrary bandwidth; I'd rather that users of the Sidewalk platform would have to register app specific message types publicly (to ensure transparency) and with Amazon (who should enforce message type and payload restrictions).

I definitely agree with this and had the same experience. I sort of stumbled on this accidentally while working on personal projects late after work, sleeping on ideas, and then resuming the mornings before work only to realize I was more way efficient and had better clarity during the mornings.

Eventually I just ended up mostly re-allocating my evenings to recreation and relaxation which I felt had a positive impact on my life balance.
If you approach it from "run these commands to do these things" it's not bad. Most wrappers are wrappers around a very limited set of functionality.

It sticks around because it has some interface that users can use and is scriptable. Everyone saying GPG is bad usually has no general solution to replacing it.

That refers to their Instant Answers. The regular link results ("organic results") are proxied from Bing. You can compare them side by side; the order of the results may vary slightly because Bing varies things a little, but the links are the same.

Even assuming they'd do such a thing it doesn't make any sense to do a deliberate release on their own citizens. Chinese intelligence is good enough to do a secret release on someone else's territory and even if scientists quite reasonably asked how the coronavirus in question had made it from China to say Brazil there'd be less political exposure. Doing it to themselves when they were manifestly not ready to handle the public health side would have been just plain dumb. I don't doubt that the morals and ethics of the ruling party could be that weak, I just don't think a China release of an COVID-like virus is an approach they'd see as worth it.

I don’t know the muscles but maybe someone here can chime in with the specific names from this very unscientific description: on each side of my head kind of near my temples and on each side of my jaw near the corner(?) bone. (Really regretting never having taken an anatomy class...) If you put your finger on your earlobe and pull it maybe an inch forward I would say it was about there. My doctor kindly used some sort of very cold topical numbing spray before the injections which meant I couldn’t feel much. So in addition to my description being very unscientific it could also be slightly inaccurate.

I think my doctor was somewhat unique (at least at the time) for doing the temple injections to treat TMJ and I think the temple is one of the injection locations used now when someone gets Botox for migraines. I know there were additional possible injection sites he used for more severe cases or where there wasn’t complete relief but I can’t recall where they were because I didn’t end up needing them.
This article is a good platform for a series of solid specific observations. I particularly liked this one toward the end:

“ It could mean compressing the time teenagers have to sort out their hierarchies and pillory outsiders, by turning schools into minimalist places in which people only study and learn. All the elaborate rites of dances and games could take place under other auspices. (Many Europeans and Asians I’ve spoken to went to classes each day and then left school to do other things with other people, forgoing the elaborate excess of extracurricular activities that is found at American schools.)”

Hallelujah. End the role of high school as a monolith for teen life.

I also liked the call for more fluid stratification of students:

“ It could mean schools in which age segregation is not so strict, where a twelve-year-old might mentor a seven-year-old and be mentored by a seventeen-year-old; schools in which internships, apprenticeships, and other programs would let older students transition into the adult world before senior year. ”

This all essentially boils down to “freedom.” Meaning also flexibility and choice. For all the expectations piled on high school students they are given very little agency.
The author says that high school teaches conformity and alienation, and can "flatten your soul", and then shortly afterwards suggests getting kids into the job market sooner might be a solution for this. Ha ha, good luck with that.

Out of curiosity, did you have any luck at all with the glasses-style light therapy devices like the Luminette? I was having limited success with other forms of light therapy (and the rest of the laundry list of interventions), and some recommendations from an experimental non24 protocol (https://circadiaware.github.io/VLiDACMel-entrainment-therapy...) lead me to finally try the glasses type and it's oddly effective, so far. I'm waking up around 10:30 AM without alarms and without sliding, which has... literally never happened before. I'm just hoping it won't regress to the mean after another month.
That is an urban myth unfortunately, darker coffee does not have less caffeine because caffeine is heat stable at typical roasting temperatures. (20 to 240C). Here’s a more thorough explanation of it: https://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/caffeine-myths-dark-vs-li...

The effect probably came to be known because darker roaster coffee is less dense. So if you are measuring your coffee by volume (i.e. eyeballing it) and not mass, for the same volume the darker the coffee the less caffeine it has. But per gram of coffee, it’s pretty much the same.

Our high school was brand new my frsshman year, and they only started with 9th and 10th, in a socio-economically affluent area. They also had multiple magnet programs and mandated racial demographic requirements (which forced the system to bus kids in from less affluent areas). These policies negatively impacted the social climate fairly significantly....

so I am really excited there are so many ways to skin the h.s. cat now. Your positive stories are reassuring me about my reluctance to engage my children as they get to school age in that same system.

There are a few people who make most of the copper to borosilicate glass joints in the world. It's really hard to do, and they're quite good at it. Don't try to make your own as a cost-saving measure!

A major challenge is matching thermal expansion coefficients. Copper expands quite a lot, and borosilicate barely moves at all, so they make a joint to a glass that moves less than copper, but more than boro, then they add a little bit of another glass, and so on until they've gradually transitioned from the copper to the borosilicate. Those well-made joints can be cooled to liquid helium temperature (4 K) without issue.
I really don't get this attitude, though I think it must be valid, since I seem to be almost alone in disagreement. I use plain old GPG for a lot of purposes, and I don't find its command-line usage difficult at all. Key management, encryption, decryption, signing — all of these operations are pretty straightforward.

For signing: signify/minisign

For encryption: age

For encrypted messaging: Signal (or your choice of e2e encrypted messaging platform)

> The idea for the lozenge design originated with Deniz Yucesoy, a graduate student in the UW’s Genetically Engineered Materials Science and Engineering Center who received a $100,000 Amazon Catalyst grant

This grad-student/researcher just handed over a multi-million dollar business to Amazon in exchange for $100k towards the research. Why on Earth would anyone sign over 100% ownership of their idea, just to be able to test their idea? I guess he thought it would look good on his resume as begs a company for a job after graduation?

Amazon Catalyst is a place to see your idea come to fruition without the risk of starting a company on your own. As such, the IP that is developed in Amazon Catalyst is property of Amazon.[1]

That Sensodyne paste struck some memories; I recall having seen it at a local shop, possibly even trying it, although at a much lower price, and a quick check on a local price list site confirms it.

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...

All prices under €4, but of course shipping rates are for local delivery and I have no idea if the sellers can ship abroad, most of them might not even speak a word of English, however here they are; making quite a big order would defeat the costs for shipping to the US, which usually are high.

> And why haven't we evolved to have that yet anyway? It's surely better, nowhere for food to get, stuck? (Assuming it can still be molar/canine/incisor like in different places on that plane.)

Well, in software terms, you're describing a monolithic architecture. A single cavity would destroy the whole thing. You'd probably have to replace the choppers more frequently as your skull grows into adulthood, or we would have to be born with larger jaws that don't need to grow as much as we mature.

There is also the matter of how evolvable the platform would be. As a species, we're in the process of losing our wisdom teeth, and I suspect that would be harder to do if the skull/jaw/gum/tooth platform was... more tightly coupled, less modular.

I myself never had any wisdom teeth, and kept a couple of my milk teeth into my 40s before one had to be replaced with a crown, and the other just fell out when the root dissolved. Human dentition has a lot of variability.

Still, birds did it (as have other species over the Earth's long evolutionary history), so it isn't an insoluble challenge, but it would be a rather more radical change than just fusing teeth together.

This doesn't ring true to me. Unless you played sports there was really no reason to hang around after school. Contrast this to many Japanese schools where being part of a school club is more or less expected.

Same. I’ve had two grafts in the same area (cadaver and auto) and neither of them held.

Every time I go to the dentist, recession.

Meanwhile my spouse brushes once a day, maybe flosses occasionally and has never had recession or a cavity.
