I think I found the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130893/ (Acute Demyelinating Disease after Oral Therapy with Herbal Extracts)

So to answer your question: The formulation of tablets (labelled as ‘immunostimulant’) consisted of Echinacea purpurea 45 mg, Uncaria tomentosa 37.5 mg, and Tabebuia avellanedae and Plantago maritima 30 mg.

I only remembered the Echinacea one. It actually has been an issue in many of these cases, so I avoid it. As I said, immunostimulants for people with autoimmune disorder are usually not good. Immunomodulators can be, but that depends as well. For example allicin and propolis reduce production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α, which from what I recall is good for MS.

Can you tell me the difference between a 4.0 and a 3.9? Usually I find it to be a ~1-2%! That 1% difference is just one sign error, rounding mistake or miss read question on a midterm! However that difference between how that looks on your transcript is extremely substantial. I feel like 1% is just waaay to “accurate” for teachers to handle! Finding a good teacher is much more important than working hard or understanding the material. I think it should just be pass or fail

If it'll save you 10% on your electric bill, would you do it? I would. And reducing peak demand by 10% can really reduce the cost and need for grid battery storage.

Best of all, doing this sort of management of your HVAC system costs you essentially nothing. It's picking money off the ground.
Isn't the general intelligence level going down since like 20 years or so? I admit I have no factual proof nor a link to study, I only read and hear that from time to time so this might be an urban legend.

But if so, we face a large-scale societal problem we might not even be able to tackle, like leaded gas was likely a major contributor to soaring violence in the 60ies to 80ies.

I'm guessing late 50s onwards, as stereo was introduced, what, 1958?

I'm a fan of the quad stuff from that era, ESL57s and Quad IIs as well as Tannoy speakers. I imagine you're more US centric in your appreciation, but it was a wonderful period of innovation in music reproduction when individuals with a vision could shape how music was appreciated.

> Even if rates go back up to only 7.5% what happens to housing prices?

Prices go down 40-50%?

Normalizing for household leverage and disposable income, a 3% mortgage in 2021 is close to a 6% mortgage in 2007. Assuming it scales linearly (not sure it does), what you're talking about would mean an equivalent effect of around a 15% rate in 2007 against 2007 prices.

I tried to track down where I saw these slides but couldn't find them, I think it was a morgan stanley presentation looking at comparison rates and leverage normalization to predict how bad different rises in rates would be in terms of how the rate "feels" to the average mortgage holder.
this is obviously so advertisers don’t have to deal with ratio’d videos. advertisers like phizer who pay for content on all advertising platforms, and who pay for content like rachel maddow, tucker carlson and meet the press. that content must be seen as legitimate by users who don’t already know that it isn’t. it’s mind control, and it’s at the behest of the monied interests so good luck with your toddlers all you parents. as someone who escaped/survived a cult i figured out a way around mind control, but that’s beyond the ability of most people. I’m Glad I Don’t Have Kids.
The problem in my mind is that we’re overloading what a “commit” means. There’s two meanings: either it’s a description of what happened, by some author, at some point in history. Or it’s an atomic feature being added to the codebase.

Commits are the first thing by default. If you squash and rebase them, they become the second thing (feature changes). But in doing so you throw out information about the original history of those changes.

This has always seemed silly to me. Git should just be changed to support both work flows. Keep commits as-is but let me mark a range of commits as being part of feature X, and let me browse the repo from the perspective of those larger feature objects. Or make it so merge / squash commits still reference the individual commit sequence, so I can see what happened in more detail if I want to.

> Public schools work. You can’t deny that.

Per the GP, in their area "the high school math and reading proficiency rate are 8% and 44% respectively, while the graduation rate is >95%". That sounds like an absolute denial that public schools are working, unless your definition of a working school includes ones that don't teach the majority to read and comprehend mathematics at an adult level. Spending on schools is higher than it's ever been, and the results are flat-lining - and have been for decades. See [0]. Perhaps the issue is something that throwing money at them won't fix? Perhaps it behooves us to look deeper and see if the education system is performing what we need it to do.

That's not an economic inflation.

An economic inflation is when wages and prices go up together so nothing much changes other than numbers.

If people can buy less stuff with their wages that's a redistribution away from the wage share and towards the profit share.

Guess which share pays people to write the definitions on Wikipedia?
This is actually a fun thing to talk about, but an HN thread is insufficient. There are schools and countries out there who focus more on excellence and cater to the top students. They put a ton of effort and praise on the top % with contests, a dense curriculum. I think most of eastern Europe, possibly Russia and likely a lot of other places fall into this category. On the other side, you have places like Scandinavia where the curriculum is less dense, and teachers focus on getting everyone above a lower knowledge threshold.

It's a great topic to research if you want to actually improve the education system. Go have fun reading and learning about it, the more you understand about the tradeoffs of these approaches, the better! But that's clearly not what the author of the article, or the commenter referred to. _sigh_
Underprivileged or not, homework assignments are ridiculously over assigned. Kids go to school for 8 hours to learn, then they are expected to go home and ... work some more?

Just like I don't think it is fair for my employer to expect me to work when I go home, children should stop school work when they go home.

There is usually a 1 hour study hall period for students in high school. Teachers should either provide time in class to do any assignments or limit the time required to do those assignments to whatever share of that daily study hall hour they can negotiate among the other teachers/subjects.

What Is Network Admission Control (NAC)?
School seems to fulfill at least three different purposes:

A. Give kids some education (or educayshun, depending on the quality of the school).

B. Act as a sort of daycare, so that both parents can go to work and keep the wheels of the economy turning (or the computer mice clicking, nowadays).

C. Job security for the staff.

B+C can be easily done without accomplishing much of A, and the only thing than can guarantee at least some A is pressure from the parents. But in some places, concerned parents with enough time and energy to do that are so few that they cannot move the colossus. Moving away or finding private school for their kids is simpler.
You have a very distorted world view. pol is still the best site on the internet and a hub of truth.

The "secret" is applying the knowledge supposedly learned, not applying the solution you already know.

No, it's your comment that's hateful. You think little of the individual, only the family and identity groups matter. That's why you are against tests and grades.

I think movements who value abstract ideas (critical justice, religion, communism, nationalism) over real flesh and blood humans, who over-generalise and ignore the specifics of each case, are leading us towards the reign of terror.

They all want uniformity, the individual dissolved into the group identity, all united in the same ideology. Like soldiers.

Do you mean like Youtube's own Youtube Rewind 2018, which it became the most disliked video surpassing even Justin Bieber's Baby? To add extra irony, it was subtitled "Youtube Rewind 2018 - Everyone Controls Rewind". It seems that everyone controlling the dislike button was not appreciated, and while I find this downvote session brilliant I've been waiting since then for Youtube to remove the downvote button.

A PR may contain several distinct meaningful related commits, this has nothing to do with typo fixes.

But even then, when you want to revert or cherry-pick a commit on another branch, you don't want random unrelated changes (which increase the risk of conflicts).

Also, a single commit containing 10 squashed commits doesn't help for git bisect.

I'm not suggesting "trick" questions. Let's give a simple example:

10 * 10 = ?

If the student has already seen that question, he knows the answer is 100. If he hasn't seen it, he has to apply the the techniques learned to solve it.

Which of those two is a proper test question?

It's not an inflation, it's a redistribution - due to those changes in demand patterns. It'll play out and settle down over time.

Interest rates changes have nothing to do with investment.

Nobody who has ever risked their own money on a venture would ever say that a 0.1% change in the cost of liquidity changes the investment case.

The estimate error on the sales projections swamps that by several orders of magnitude.
"Hogwarts" reference aside, you are right that extremely structured environments (boarding schools are what I assume you are alluding to) can actually bring out the best in young bright people, especially young men, and it's unfortunate that we've basically done away with that in the United States as a way to educate children.

Here's my view: Removing down voting is FAANG's (=big corps) and MSM's reaction of many users down voting (in my eyes rightfully so) videos from public institutions who spread nothing else than propaganda. FAANG and MSM are now afraid that this sentiment contaminates other citizens.
The asset prices aren't inflating. They are returning to their true market determined level.

Short answer - yes, these words don’t really have the same meanings anymore.
In last months comments often just disappear randomly. Youtube outsourced their spam filter and it was messed up - randomly deletes comments on basis of poorly set machine learming model and wrongly set keywords.
From what I've been reading, System76 takes security seriously, they're already using gtk-rs that's a bridge between the Gnome libraries and rust, and this effort by System76 appears to be a natural direction for future development that further decouples their work from the Gnome ecosystem.

If they decide later to build their own "gnome-like" core libraries in Rust, it should be straightforward for them to switch to this code.

In 2021 I'd rather see investments in security-focused libraries, frameworks, tools and languages, and that's not going to happen with Gnome with its legacy C code base.

We use System76 desktops and laptops at work, they've been great, and the company remains very responsive to any issues. I'm pretty confident that whatever they come out with will be well designed. I'd bet on their desktop over Gnome any day.

As an aside, it's been a while... but the last time I had to build a cross-platform application with GTK+ was painful. There were so many API changes and things breaking across minor versions, we gave up after supporting our code for 2 years and switched to QT for new work.
Make Your Technology Sustainable
Yeah, that's what we did, but apartment hotels aren't everywhere.
Some people seem not get it: dropping homework or objective assessment will not help under-privileged students but hurt them. Homework and object assessment are not used to oppress people (what kind of sick mind would think of that?). They are used to give students timely feedback on what they need to improve upon. Just reading books and listening to lectures will help students learn probably 20% or less, and it is homework or exercises in general that will take students to the next level. Remember the classic STEM textbooks? The authors will usually say that exercises are an important part of the book, and students should try to solve all of them? Let me guess, completing those exercises will be racist?

And why do you left think that lowering standards will help poor students? You think the poor students will get better education without pushing themselves? You think less trained students will do better in their future job? You think they will magically master advanced concepts and skills? You think they will suddenly become better problem solvers? On the other hand, you think the families with means will not send their kids to Russian School of Mathematics, to Art of Problem Solving, and to teach some kids advanced STEM and reading and writing with other like-minded parents and private teachers? You think that those with means won't send their kids to private school if public schools go to hell? Do you left even know that those with means do not need to go to tutoring schools or private schools if public schools have some common sense? Do you left even know that the best K-12 schools in China are always, I mean always, public schools? Do you left even know that the best teachers in each Chinese city are always, always, public school teachers? Do you left even ask yourself why the majority of Chinese students graduated from public schools yet they are so good at STEM subjects (they may not have as many geniuses as in the western world, but I'm talking about ordinary students here)?

Yeah, I'm sure labeling everything racism and everyone who disagree with you racist will magically improve K-12 education of the US. It's as if you left are trying to destroy the life of under-privileged by pretending to be righteous.

> So around 10%. Comparable to most of the 70s, but not the high-teens emergency points.

Except this is not comparable to most of the 70s at all.

Household leverage and disposable income change how serviceable debt is at different rates.

The numbers I saw puts a 2021 mortgage rate of 3% at an equivalent benchmark rate "in your pocketbook feels" as a 6% rate in pre gfc 2007.

Are you sure 10% doesn't warrant the same emergency as the high-teens of the 70s?
This isn't new. Back in the first dot-com boom, someone did an IPO for a strip club on Broadway in San Francisco, as "BOYSTOYS.COM INC", ticker symbol GRLZ. That failed.

As a pentester at a security company doing assessments for customers, I can say that this is definitely false.

We value our independence highly. It is what ultimately brings in business. It would be very bad business if one our customers gets hacked, when it was an easy vulnerability for us to find.

You are right to ask that question. Generally, real estate is considered a low liquidity asset. I wonder how much their real estate assets are discounted during buy-side analysis.

From Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergrande_Group), I looked at the source for total assets: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/3333.HK/balance-sheet?p=3333...

At end of 2020:
Total assets: 2.3T CNY -> 359B USD (@ 6.40 CNY/USD)
Total debt : 0.7T CNY -> 109B USD (@ 6.40 CNY/USD)

"Public schools work. You can’t deny that."

That is like saying that the Space Shuttle worked.

It was certainly able to reach the orbit, but the loss of life was politicaly unpalatable, the technology was much more expensive to build and operate than promised and the supply chain was one huge boondoggle covering the entire USA so that every Senator would be happy.

At the end of the day, more efficient rockets like Falcon 9 just work better and the only attempt to resurrect a project organizationally similar to the Space Shuttle - SLS - looks corrupt and foolish at the same time.

Back to public schools. If I look at the international comparisons, American public education burns through a lot of money for mediocre results. This is your money; you should be more critical. Why isn't there any Silicon Valley for education?
