How many major cities in the world do we have right now where prices of rent did not go up?

I'm really curious to know the breakdown of home/building ownership in the world, and how much the person makes in that city. Curious how much property is owned by individuals vs companies.
No need to suspect anything. My list included the major climbing areas of Europes major climbing countries and none of them require a four-wheel drive. Even some of the more secluded Swiss areas (Gimmelwald, Rawyl) are easily accessible in a camper van. And I know that for a fact, because I've been there myself.

Ukrainians certainly can, but you can't ignore the fact that a lot of NATO's motivations for helping isn't just altruism. Part of this is also the proxy war being fought, and even if India and China want Ukraine to win, they may not want to be the ones paying for a NATO victory.
Particle and wave are just both incomplete ways to describe things - but for some phenomena combining both gives the best results : that is the very weird domain of quantum physics.

(Like if you're trying to predict what happens when speeds approach those of light, you have to make weird relativistic corrections stemming from the observed speed of light being the same for all observers, regardless of their relative speeds.)

If you're lucky to not be in one of those weird cases, objects as spherical things with a sharp boundary in space and using the normal composition of speeds work just fine.
It's hard for me to comprehend simple asymmetric encryption let alone understand how this solution is quantum proof. Everytime I read something like this I wonder if I'll ever catch up with the times.

The incentive structure is that those workers capture much less than the value of their total output. If they worked harder so the firm required less employees, how do they benefit?
Have you heard of civil forfeiture?
Jo Boaler (i) is the author of the new California Math Framework, and (ii) sells PD consulting to districts.

Many people (including me) are furious about the CMF, because it's based on inaccurate and/or misleading research and citations, makes little sense, and will harm students (and disproportionately harm students whose parents can't afford tutoring or private school). Hundreds of math and engineering experts have signed petitions against it.

I've heard that there are laws against being both the author of state standards, and selling consulting about those standards. I don't know the specifics of these.

Someone posted a Tweet including (i) an agreement between Jo Boaler and a school district, for PD presentation at $5k per hour, and (ii) a school board resolution agreeing an amendment to the total on that contract (doubling the contract value, whilst keeping the # hours unchanged). Their objections were (i) that's illegal due to #3, and (ii) the amount of money could fund almost a whole year's teacher salary, and that would be more valuable.
A Berkeley professor retweeted the Tweet. The Tweet he retweeted contained public records only (the agreement, and the school board resolution) and did NOT contain any personal details about Jo Boaler except for her name.

That professor had previously tried to engage with Jo Boaler about the framework, including by asking questions during a Zoom presentation. She ignored him.

Jo Boaler sent a threatening letter to the professor (i) implying that she had contacted the police about him retweeting the content, (ii) accusing him of disseminating private info and misinformation, and (iii) saying he could have just reached out to her.

He posted the letter on Twitter.

She went on a PR offensive making it seem like she's a victim, when she was the (only) one who made a threat.
OP, I'd really, really recommend that you are able to answer these questions before you start projecting assumptions, wishes, or expected failure onto a pre-schooler:

- are you happy, right now?

- are you living a life that you chose?

- what makes you happy

- what makes a live "well-lived"?

I have this growing pit in my stomach right now that I just can't shake. Your IQ is high and you make a ton of money... and I doubt I'd trade places with you for any material possession on this Earth. You have a daughter to help guide through the world and you're on HN having an unspecified anxiety about a capricious measurement, of a 4 year old, that is widely accepted by thoughtful folks to be a largely unuseful metric.

I suspect that maybe you're wondering about the legitimacy of those tests, questioning your own results, wondering what this means for her... and I really hope you can see that how you process this is going to affect how you treat her. That is going to affect her so much more than an IQ test done at 4, it's really worrisome to me that you can't see the forest for the trees.

I always feel most loved by my parent, and most at peace with my path to find happiness in life, when they tell me "Whatever, we just want you to be happy.". It's what they said when I came out. It's what they said when I stepped back from a promising career because despite... the exceptional status and money I had... I was being under-valued, disrespected and made to do thoughtless techno-capital work. The self-doubt I already had from societal expectations would've crushed me if they had leaned into it and admonished me.

I hope in your heart you realize that helping your daughter navigate life and find happiness is far more important than projecting your unexamined internalized expectations onto her.

I changed jobs at the end of 2020, my new job has better pay and better work-from-home arrangements, and I don’t regret a thing.

My hypothesis is that a significant chunk of the people who changed jobs circa 2021 are people who would have changed jobs in 2020 if there hadn’t been a pandemic, but held off for about a year while things shook out.
> I just bought a smart bulb, and while I did not connect it yet, I am
wondering what are the dangers of IoTs.

I think you just demonstrated the main one.

If you'd thought about the dangers of IoT before buying it you'd
actually have had a chance to take meaningful action, by not buying
it.

Now you're stuck with an object that is either going to cause you
problems you know about but choose to roll with, or problems that
you're unaware of, or is a lump of e-waste that's going into a
landfill where it will cause known and unknown problems for everybody
else.

The universe in which you bought a benign and useful object is
probably not the same one where you're posting on HN asking just how
dangerous it is.

That said, I hope it brings you great joy and lights up your life in a
danger free way.

Don't know if it helps, but read the qualifiers. They exist for a reason.

> To me that sounded awfully condescending.

I think we all have our triggers, we all define and recognize differently what things like kind/mean/etc mean to us. It sounds like you get triggered when people tell you how feelings work, or how to interpret something, like what I'm doing right now. I can see that the things I say could be condescending, but it's one possibility out of many. You could say I am projecting, but my intention is to share my understanding of things with people, and I was careful not to make it definitive by adding all the qualifiers. Does that make sense?

I'm not perfect in this regard either. I just recently lashed out on someone on HN because I got triggered by what I thought was patronizing comments:

Uhm what?
You have left out some details.

Even though the closeness of the initial results triggered an automatic recount across every county in Florida, not all of them did.

The infamous "butterfly ballot" in Palm Beach diverted something like 15% of the vote to Pat Buchanan. Even Buchanan said his votes were unearned due to the construction of the ballot. Bush was listed first and voting for him was unambiguous; Gore was listed second under Bush, but to vote for him one had to punch the 3rd hole down. Buchanan was the first name on the right hand page and the hole corresponding to him was the 2nd one down.

The Florida Republican party (and the GOP broadly) did everything to stop the recount, attempting to run out the clock. The Florida supreme court ultimately sided with Gore's claim that the stoppage was illegal, but weeks had already gone by. In your telling Gore kept counting over and over.

Finally, there is the way Florida scrubbed the rolls of "illegal" voters. By Florida law, ex-felons were not allowed to vote, even though they had completed their sentences. However, the scrubbing wasn't in good faith. The Secretary of State intentionally did the scrub weeks before the election so there wouldn't be enough time to fix any problems that came up. The majority of the scrubbed votes were not ex-felons, and overwhelmingly those affected were likely to vote D (if they voted). For instance, if your name was D'Andre Weber born in 1975, your name was removed from the list if Florida found any D'Andre Weber born in 1975 anywhere in the country; no effort was made to be more specific. Kathrine Harris was not only the Florida Secretary of State, but she was also co-chair of Bush's Florida reelection committee.
Economics students? That'd be delicious
I've mostly just operated marine commercial navigation radars, but having said that, I wouldn't expect the return to be very good. You would still have reflected energy, but it would be much closer to noise, so it would have to be much closer to be automatically detected, or even to be detectable on screen by my own observation. A tracker assigned to it certainly wouldn't maintain itself.
You dont have to lie to them to train them in anything. I sincerely believe you have forgotten what it is like being a kid and how it feels when elders tell you something which isn't truth.

I remember being a kid. I don't lie to kids, not intentionally. They can be very easily mislead and lying feels so wrong for this reason alone.

I don't trust elders in family who lied or use to lie to me when I was a kid and I found out it was a lie at that time. That image of them lying has stayed.

To train them about finding way back home you can just ask them to lead you home. It will make them feel good that their parent is trusting them to take them home. Make it their responsibility. Go wherever your kids lead you to. It will be more fun than lying. Same can be done for almost anything else you think you should lie about to teach them.

IQ is bullshit, don't put any importance whatsoever on it.
If anyone wants to delve deeper into the math framework itself, to form their own opinion, I'd recommend reading at least:

1. California Math Framework ch1: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/documents/mathfwchapter1.doc...

2. California Math Framework ch2: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/documents/mathfwchapter2.doc...

3. A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction stride 1: https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11...

4. One of Boaler's papers that claims that detracking improves achievement, even for the top performers. See if you are convinced the conclusions follow from the experimental data.

[pasting a message I wrote a long time ago - i haven't checked the links are still valid]
But all the data up to that point is wide open. If it ever becomes practical to decrypt captured data, there's going to be some interesting leaks from non-quantum-proof encryption age.

Also lots of cryptocurrencies will shit themselves, which might be a feature or a bug, depending on your perspective.
> I think that the "easy to clean" part of the list of descriptors here is among the most important.

Also caused by the lack of "servants".

Just employing a maid service frees up a remarkable amount of time. Having someone full-time dedicated to nothing but cleaning up after you is a big deal.

One of the things that gets lost is that employing someone was much cheaper in the past. There was an article recently talking about how the affluent couldn't afford a car in the early 1900s but could easily afford multiple servants.
Even if the population doesn't change, if more purchase power moves in (e.g. struggling artists move out, software developers move in) the market will go up.

Also, Berlin was an odd place compared to other cities in Europe, when it comes to housing. Looking from the outside it seems like it was due for an upwards correction after 3 decades of pretty low rents since the fall of The Wall.
I changed jobs and I don't regret it. I left federal contracting due to vaccine mandates. New job is very comfortable. Making a bit more money, far less work. Good growth potential on the stock grants. I guess thanks to Biden for making me question my job security enough to start looking.
> but due to some difficulties in preschool, underwent some tests and has an IQ of 102.

That's an average-ish result, so it probably isn't the source of the problems in preschool. OTOH whatever the unidentified source of those problems is may be depressing the results of the IQ assessment. (While IQ tests generally have decent test-retest consistency, there are definitely factors other than what they are intended to test that can impact them, and the kinds of other things that would lead to problems for which an IQ test would be part of the diagnostic response definitely include them.)

In this scenario, were it me, “my child has a test showing average intelligence” would not be a major concern.
This was the early days of jet planes so I think the simplest explanation is human or technical error. Rather than a covert attack, or aliens.

The tensile strength of the membrane will also be interesting for larger habitats.
The recent tension kicked off in 2013 and was based on Ukraine approaching the EU. Over time Putin has sold the NATO story well since then but he started trying to directly control Ukraine politics in 2013 when they said they wanted to move forward with their EU candidacy. Ukrainians didn't accept this "veto" from Moscow hence Euromaidan and that led Putin to do what he did in Crimea and Donbass. None of that was about NATO

Ukraine becoming a more successful county like all the other countries that have joined the EU would have made Russians wonder if Putin was holding them back given their closeness to
Ukraine and more advantageous starting point.

Quebec Canada made it so you had to show proof of vaccination to go to the liquor store (your comment about exploiting addiction made me think of that). Any pretext of actual public health benefit has been abandoned long ago (I disagree with but understand the argument why you'd want a bunch of people without masks in close proximity to have taken a vaccine that actually prevents transmission). Some people seem to think it's acceptable for institutions to just be able to pick on people without an acute reason to require them to be vaccinated, in order to "nudge" them toward a perceived greater good. I dont

(I also have all my vaccines and got each the first day I was eligible. Opposing this nonsense has nothing to do with opposing vaccines - as a concept, or the covid ones.)

Never? Any history book?

Otherwise I don't understand how could anyone ever learn about history that way.
There are no actual major democracies. The USA for example is an oligarchy whose oligarchs find it convenient to masquerade as a democratic republic[1]. The NATO countries are de facto US satrapies. I believe the Russian invasion of Ukraine is both immoral and imprudent, but the utter puerility of discourse on Russia grossly disappoints me.

It is simplistic to reduce Marine Le Pen to "far right".

She is nationalist or maybe what is often called "sovereignist" and anti-establishment and her party is the leading party among the working class. In fact when the Communist Party vote collapsed in the 1990s many actually went from voting Communist Party to voting National Front (her father's party and forerunner to her current party).
There are also gays at the very top of the party and sympathisers from all ethnic backgrounds so it's not as simple as the usual stereotype that they must all be racist and intolerant.

Lastly, painting the South East as "Paris-hating" to somewhat explain the 'traditionally' good scores for the Le Pens there is simply ridiculous.
> a 2-4% raise a year if I was lucky (which we all know is a pay cut in disguise when you consider inflation)

Well, when inflation was around 2-3%, it was alright: one could more or less keep up, without having to change.

But this year inflation skyrocketed and now that's definitely not good enough.
This almost sounds like they're trying to hide the fact that they have law-violating students on campus by removing one decent way of tracking.

"Hey, so-and-so's phone just connected to campus Wi-Fi again," "Damnit, we told him he can't be back until he gets jabbed, go call security."

No tracking means no non-compliance. What a backwards way of thinking.

You can always be screwed by changing jobs, it shouldn't be taken on lightly. But I think a lot of us are enjoying that companies are now offering us more flexibility, better work, and better pay, for the same job. And tech workers had already been changing jobs every 3 years.

Certainly I can attest there's some greed involved in my current job hunt. But the greater factor is getting to work on what I really want to work on. I want to feel excited to go to work, like I'm serving a useful purpose, and not just contributing to society's ills and bankrolling of some rich white dudes. For me that means I have to change jobs. This is just a great time to do it.
I got a BA in CS via the undeclared major to L&S CS major route over 25 years ago and worked that reader, tutor, TA pipeline too. To be honest, I am not even sure it was a pipeline yet, based on the reactions I saw at the time.

I want to imagine that Nick is just venting over departmental politics or engaging in rhetorical brinkmanship in suggesting that the entire major could be pruned. I think it would be a shame for CS to be removed as an option for folks like me, who would never have imagined enrolling in EECS when they were in high school.

Tangentially, does anybody have links to statistics similar to https://eecs.berkeley.edu/about/by-the-numbers but including prior decades? I had a sense that I was in the minority in my classes in the early/mid 90s, but I do now wonder how the trends went during prior economic cycles...
The “four hour sessions” are a deliverable. There is no mention of how many hours went into preparing for them.
