I wonder. It would be neat to see a teardown. I am also interested in how this holds up over time. I am sure they tested it a ton to make sure it is durable, but what happens if a kid grabs it and pulls it down or away from the screen? I have faith the epoxy they use is incredible strong, but then what happens to the screen? What will it do to that? It could be that it is as durable as any other in-car volume knob, but the damage would be worse as the whole touchscreen would likely need to be replaced.
Understand that Masonic degrees usually can be divided into a ritual portion and a lecture portion elaborating on the ideas found in the ceremonial. Morals and Dogma contains extra written lectures for an obsolete series of degrees Pike revised in the 1870s. Sure, there's a lot you can take away from the extra lectures, but you're missing a lot of context without knowing the contents of the degrees. The lectures in Morals and Dogma were deemed to be not secret, but the ceremonials were. As a result, a lot more people outside of Masonry are familiar with Morals and Dogma than the ceremonials. These days, you can occasionally find the rituals for sale, but they're rather uncommon. The Supreme Council now publishes Magnum Opus, the first draft of the degrees that would eventually go along with Morals and Dogma.

There is no contemporary evidence that Pike was a member of the KKK, only one person making that claim 20 years after he was dead.

An 'agenda' is just a want for either change or preservation - we should be evaluating based on the societal consequences of those agendas, not that the agendas exist. 'Start a discussion' is just a way of saying that we should be talking about said thing.
It does read a little bit like astroturfing, but as someone who had a (different) lifelong debilitating condition that has been almost entirely solved by a few doctor's appointments, I can say that nothing turns you into an advocate for something faster than this sort of experience. For me it was almost spiritual in the end. It was also oddly upsetting in some way, thinking about all the years I had wasted when essentially two hour-long appointments were all I needed. You gain this almost overwhelming need to help other people avoid the same morass you were in.
I don’t know anything about this ailment or this solution but I’m glad to read this story.

I’ve found other examples of ailments with relatively inexpensive or simple solutions that are unknown to many.

I think many people suffer to varying degrees simply because they don’t know some important piece of information.

Sometimes historical solutions overwhelm new or lesser known yet effective solutions and this prevents people from living better lives.

Sort of like how stack overflow is overrun with answers conflating jquery with JavaScript.

With health stuff, I think sometimes the friction and expense of seeing a professional prevents people from getting answers. Though sometimes these folks don’t have the most up to date or best information either.

It is almost like we need wikihow style answers for a far broader spread over life’s many questions.

In some cases like parent’s, this can be life-changing information. And while the procedure is not free the knowledge that motivates one to find a way to greatly improve one’s own outlook is.

In America, you criticise by not mentioning the bad stuff in my experience. To know, what is bad is basically an exercise left to the reader. If there isn't enough praise beyond a certain threshold, you better think hard, where you messed up. Of course, this is rather extreme and people do point out what "needs work" etc. but if you think about it in this extreme way, you will get to useful insight quicker.

In general, being frank online is hard but useful. We don't here the tone in written language, which often leads to tensions. Everybody, who really strives to do something well will struggle with the general incompetence of people to do anything well it seems, tons of half finished work and broken basically everything you think should be long explored fully. Just look at the world wide web and all the half broken and half implemented standards.

I have the feeling, that the Germans I interact with are verbally less expressive/ tend to use less intricate language constructs and subtle variations compared to the Czechs I know. That doesn't mean they are somehow less intelligent (because they definitely are not) or that they are less hearty (because again, they are quite the opposite). I do know some Americans that are genuinely very nice, caring people too and yes, they tend to use more of that positive vocabulary compared to the way we communicate in middle Europe.

>we went from households with one breadwinner to two. What did it bring us?

You are assuming the US had a choice in whether its population has to start working in the latter part of XX century.

Single breadwinner thing, along with cheap quality housing for everyone, highway build up and other projects of massive scale of that era were mainly possible because every other relevant player in world economy was still rebuilding from losing most of its population and/or infrastructure, transitioning through a huge political shift, or Argentina.

It was never sustainable in the long run.

Once those resources ran out economy had to transition back to what is natural for it - everyone contributing.
I was disappointed with Ubik. (Some spoilers ahead.)

I was excited to read it after seeing a humorous excerpt of the protagonist arguing with his front door, trying to convince it to open.

As you said, the book is bizarre. The central premise is more fantasy than sci-fi (meaning, an adventure involving magic and monsters instead of starting from a premise and exploring it somewhat realistically using logic and science). Most of the book is written (deliberately) like a dream diary, with bits of reality shifting and changing.

I found the characters bizarre, and as you said, impossible to relate to. I'd describe them even worse than that: they're badly written characters that lack personality and consistency. Characters behave in seemingly random ways that leave you scratching your head. For example, Pat (a character) decides to strip naked and move in with the messy and penniless protagonist just minutes after meeting him for the first time for a job interview. This happens over a couple pages with little explanation.

Many people enjoyed the book, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

> As the author, I don’t think that it should be banned, but I agree that kids should not be forced to attend.

Here is the problem: high school is mostly not meant for those of us who wound up on HN.

My father taught English for almost 4 decades in a US rural school district. His comments were:

"I'm not really here for the good students. They'll do fine no matter what I do, so my job for them is to keep them engaged and moving forward. All I have to do is not kill their motivation."

"I'm not really here for the worst students. I can't fix simply not doing the work or reveling in being stupid. I can't do much to fix a student's terrible home life other than providing a sympathetic ear and space for a little while."

"I'm mostly here for the average students. They don't want to be here, would rather be doing anything else and will do as little as possible to skate through. If I can push a few of those to care just a little more and have just a bit of internal motivation, I've done a good job. For the rest, I set the average bar to the point that they have to learn what I want them to to get the grade they need to."

"And I'm really here for a few of the below-average students. This is probably the last chance before they slide into being useless. Most of them have a bit of smarts, or they'd have slipped into the worst category long ago. They probably hang out with the wrong people. They get harassed if they accomplish something. Their home life is deteriorating. If I can reverse any of these, I've done a really good thing."

"In the meantime, I teach English."
> …they can work or go to Polytech

Sincere question: can they work? Does anywhere hire high-school aged kids for work that isn’t non-trivial/grunt work?

If the goal is to not waste their time I can’t imagine working a casual job is more stimulating than being in a classroom. Maybe a year working casually would inspire them back to school the next year?

Check the definition of clerk. Written exams were the method for selecting good clerks, and that's what's come to dominate.

Now think how things were done before there were written exams, and before it was practical to keep thorough records of just about everything.

Different worldviews. And ours now is shaped by clerks.
That's what I used to think, but it does indeed seem to be possible to build a reputation over time. I've been running my own email server for something like 4 years now and emails seem to get through to gmail and outlook accounts almost always at this point.

From talking to other people who tried the same, my theory is that the main reasons for my success were having everything configured well from the very beginning, running on a single static IP for multiple years, hosted at reputable mid-range server provider (not the cheapest, not the most popular) and not sending any "broadcast" email whatsoever for a very long time.
If a unit test fails under those circumstances you have little assurance before investigating that changes to your unit caused the failure.

If you have to test scenarios in which other dependencies are needed, then you must move up the testing pyramid. That serves to put in check the expectations of what each type of test should accomplish, and when to execute those tests.
Certainly provides plausible deniability.

I’m confused. You watch a private video conference call and record it, and then upload that recording to another service that lets you view that recording again at a later time? And meanwhile they can take the content of that private video and do whatever they want with it?

How is that legal? Why would anyone want to make use of such a service?

Don’t current video conferencing solutions provide enough recording and playback options?
I never said anything about likeliness, so I'm not sure who you are replying to. I don't care if carbon-based life is more abundant than silicon or methane or insert something else based life. If life emerges due to nothing other than the forces of nature, and not because of other life, then it's life. It's completely absurd to call silicon-based life that emerges naturally on some other planet "artificial". In fact, "natural selection" and "artificial selection" are two terms coined in biology for this exact distinction: that life can influence the outcomes of other life.
If anyone would like a simple demonstration of just how good modern adhesives are, go buy a decent wood glue (not even an epoxy!), some wood, and test the strength of some glued joints. With the exception of butt joints (flat edge to flat edge), 99% of the time the wood around the joint will break before the joint itself. With a quality glue or epoxy, even butt joints can be stronger than the parts they glue together.

In some situations, industrial grade structural adhesives can even be stronger than well made welded joints, which is literally just heating up the metal so it can recrystallize into a single lattice.
> Or what if Dark Matter was lots of Black Holes?

Black holes are indeed[1] a dark matter contender!

Just because the best explanation[2] we have right now is cold dark matter (CDM), doesn't mean physicists are content. They're looking for new ways[3] to probe not just CDM but other dark matter models as well, like primordial black holes[4].

Dark matter is by no means a settled topic.

In Norway you get to choose your high school after middle school, all the pupils in a region is ranked solely based on their grades from middle school and for the ones who are sick of books they can go to a more trade-oriented high school (training to become a mechanic, electrician, etc). Obviously it is not perfect and in the district the choices can be quite limited, but it definitely prevents the stereotypical American high school.

Taking my school as an example it was pretty much filled with nerds, many being active in politics, math competitions, etc. I remember very well it being the first time no-one in the class wanted to do football in PE.

Some people criticize it for being worse for the students who don't do well in middle school and end up with very little choices and also separating stronger students. But for the stronger students it so nice with everybody being at least somewhat interested in learning and the teachers being very relaxed.

It I’m paying someone by the hour, then I’m fine with them leaving when they are done with their work. However, if someone is salaried I expect them to put in a solid 35-40 hours/week. At this point I’m worried about the morale of the other devs on my team. The last thing I need is everyone getting pissed off because they think I’m coddling a Prima Donna.

One more note: the best developers on my team look for more work when they have finished their tasks. They are focused on the success of the overall team.
They actually purchased drapes for the bedroom that were (allegedly) to address this! But yeah, not a great way to spend 15k. The home was on a large, rural property, so at least they'll escape the Alexanet.
I had the same experience with SQL Server Analysis Services and later with Power BI.

I would simply open Excel, connect to the OLAP cube and start dragging & dropping columns while explaining what it was representing. Like: "Here's your sales total, you know that, now we'll break it down so that government sales are in a separate column, now split by state, etc...". People would ask questions they hadn't had answers to in years and I would simply rearrange the pivot table so they'd not only get the number they wanted, but they could see the process of getting there.

I once had an executive stand up, point at the screen and shout: "I want this, right f%^&ing now!"

It's expanding now according to red-shift measurements. Whether that means it expands to infinity or collapses is unknown.

Not directly, but if our red-shift, etc. measurements are only 13.8 billion years old, then either we're in the first universe, or it cycles.

> the gravitational constant would vary by location

Your gravitational constant question is a common one for non-physicists.

The gravitational constant, G (aka "big G"), is a universal constant, which means it's a property of the gravitational force itself, not of density.

Little g is the local gravitational acceleration, 9.81 m/s2 at the earth's surface. On the moon, it's 1.62 m/s2.

You can read more here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

To completely understand why G is needed, it's a scaling factor for our human-convenient measuring units for mass and distance. You could use alternate units that would make G = 1.0 if you wanted - called using "natural units" or "Planck units":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

I hope you enjoyed this physics lesson. :)
A common Russian greeting "Как дела?" is exactly as same as "How are you?" (it literally means "How are (your) affairs?") and people also do not take it literally. Sometimes people reply with some pun playing off even more literal meaning of the question, e.g. "дела" could also mean "criminal cases" so one might respond "Дела у прокурора, а у нас - делишки" (something like "The DA has cases but we just hustle"). I suspect the hero of the GP post might be making a similar joke in English.
> but he turned out alright.

Why the ‘but’? Wouldn’t you expect a smart home schooled person to turn out ok?
Sure but there’s a correlation. I don’t know if it’s causative though. The socially awkward kids getting bullied at public school are those that are most likely to get pulled out and homeschooled.
Perhaps. I just have an older Echo Dot.

Is there any mention anywhere that I missed about what devices qualify for this?

IME as a US resident, it's not fake, for most of your audience. It's fake for the natural slice of the audience that are on the selfish/narcissist spectrum - they're forced to parrot it as a broader cultural norm, but for everyone else who's even merely neutral on the empathy spectrum, it's a license to actually be nice and not get hammered with suspicion for it.

That said - it has to be noted that if you're interacting with "service workers" (any clerks at stores, hotels, restaurants, etc), there's a really horrible catch-22 ubiquitous in the corporate world. Those people are forced by corporate rules to be obsequiously friendly ... but are also so overworked that they generally have no time to actually help someone with anything that's not a direct job duty.

It really sucks because, traditionally, in the sense of i.e. a bartender/barista, that's actually supposed to be a large part of the "hospitality" job. They're supposed to be someone you can talk at length to, and traditionally have functioned like an entry-level therapist/counsellor in society. Unfortunately the fast-food mentality has trickled into a lot of institutions like that, and most of them are too busy fulfilling orders to do anything of the sort.

Here’s an anecdata: Many of my high school teachers put me squarely in the “too far gone to help” camp, others put me in the “lazy and unmotivated” camp ... but if I liked your class, if I respected you as a person, if you seemed like you knew what you were doing, then I became the “hot damn get out of their way this kid is a steamroller” kind.

It took me 5 years to finish high school and I had summer school every year except last. Because summer school senior year impacts when you can apply for college and I didn’t wanna risk that. And my grades at matura (kinda like the SAT) were higher than my high school GPA.
