I highly suggest physical devices over any other approach.

Buy an RPi or an Arduino, and make cool stuff with it. Let your kid watch and help.

Then teach them basic Python and let them write parts of functions/scripts with MicroPython. That's how they get started.

I saw a boring, trivial

Hello world

It did not spark any interest in me. Programming was a mundane experience until math and programming were linked later.

I was much more excited when I learned HTML at the age of 13/14. The fact that I could change text in a real web page on a browser was mind-blowing.

That's why I do microcontrollers and suggest them always.

The fact that you can change stuff in the physical, real world by editing a text file - is so tremendously powerfull for a beginner!

Get some LEDs, a display, a servo motor, and so on, and let them watch and help.

Then let him alter the sourve file to change light blinking patterns and such.
If war breaks out with China the current pandemic will be the least of your worries.
Whether it's manufactured or organic, it's still real. That's the economic reality we all have to live with in America, so it doesn't matter whether Germany can operate just fine without the crushing college debt we have: the fact is, middle-class households in America have lost real wealth and purchasing power over the past 50 years because of this and a number of other factors.
As far as I know, most people who do "FP II" (vocational training) in Spain usually stays in those companies which they were doing their internship, so there are job opportunities. Usually are those known as "cárnicas" (companies that are in a lot of boring projects and pays enough), like but at least you can have a couple years of experience before hopping into a better company.

I have not too much experience in that sector, but I would say earning 30k-50k is only possible if you live in a city with good communications with the bigger ones, like Alcalá de Henares (near to Madrid, or Manresa (near to Barcelona). In some places with lower COL, like Andalucía, this is really difficult.
I recall thatvstats say the opposite - social mobility went down. Smart people with drive had better chances to improve 50-70 years ago.
Don’t give up hope. Someone I mentored at a coding bootcamp just got a job as a junior software developer at age 33. It’s hard going but it works out for some people. If the career change would mean a lot more money for you, it might be worth it to keep trying.

Best of luck, whatever you decide.
Your argumentation is just completely wrong, you think that "significant usage" is some kind of "quality". You try to argue that a hammer and a screwdriver are of significant usage, when i fact the best tool for the job is a scalpel.

I think they are strongly opposed to neoliberalism, as you can see by their (confusing to the Fox/CNN generation) slogans like "Medicare for all, abortions for none".

The big question is how much of this is just for show.
These consent forms are such a sabotage on the original idea.

The idea being, as far as i remember, you set your preferences once.
In a container on your machines under your control.

Then the site and the container negotiate. Either the side is willing to accept your preferences - or it denies showing to you - or presents you a "negotiated" down version.

Africa is seeing increasing rates of single motherhood. According to this study: http://paa2019.populationassociation.org/uploads/191108
All Africa single motherhood is 22%, with Eastern Africa at 37%.

They had this to say about marriage in traditional African cultures:
“ Marriage in the traditional African society was described by Evans Pritchard (1965) as a “given”, there was no such thing as unmarried adult woman or one who was childless by choice; ... and women could not choose a career instead of marriage” (Gage and Bledsoe 1994). Most African societies had sanctions for childbearing outside marriage, in some East African communities, it was punishable by death, in other places in Africa it was abortion or infanticide (Gage and Bledsoe 1994). There was no place for permanent singlehood except for religious celibates.”

On the increasing rates of single motherhood:
“ The rising levels of single motherhood in the region is occasioned in part by adaptation to changes brought about by education, mobility associated with employment, gendered migration, poverty, shortage of marriageable men, increased death rate due to HIV/AIDS pandemic, decline in early and arranged marriage and polygyny (Gage and Bledsoe 1994; Isiugo-Abanihe 2000; Gustafsson and Worku 2006; Smith 2007; Moyo and Kawewe 2009).”

My guess is the reason we see lower rates of single motherhood in very poor countries is less to do with the fact they are poor and more likely to be because they are closer to their traditional cultural norms that strongly push for marriage and child rearing. It seems as countries get greater access to education and industrialization, as they modernize, they start to see these societal issues like single parent households and the negative consequences that result from that.
Kinda like how as societies get greater access to more food they move from starving to getting obese and those associated medical issues.

If you're curious about this area, Real-Time Collision Detection[1] is one of my favorite technical books on this topic. While the title is "Collision Detection" it's basically data structures for 2D/3D. It's also the only algorithms book I've seen to actually have a section on CPU cache-aware algorithms instead of assuming you only care about big-O notation.

From Kaiser's 2020 survey on healthcare plans, the average worker contribution for HMO/PPO plans for a family was $5000-6000/yr [1]. These are not high deductible plans (those are specifically broken out) so they're going to be pretty good insurance, especially PPO. So $400/mo is only underestimating the true cost by about $100/mo. You can't use ACA marketplace prices to judge what your average worker is paying.

> spending $3k a month on day care

It costs $3200/mo to pay someone $20/h for 40 hours a week, in what world does day care (where one caretaker takes care of multiple children!) cost $3000/mo? The average cost of child care in California, which has _the_ highest cost of labor in the US, is $956/mo [2]. If you use the infant care cost it's $1400/mo, still nowhere near $3000. Maybe in the middle of New York City it costs $3000, but that's not a realistic living scenario for a plumber.

If your spouse makes $3000/mo then the rent increase (call it an extra $800/mo to get to $2k/mo) and childcare cost ($1000/mo) are more than covered by their extra income.

Please just look at the data and take a moment to understand what expenses outside of SF/NYC/LA look like.

America has machinery within the culture that allows immigrants to assimilate. Americans treat them as American and they feel American. I don’t mean the sympathy liberals feel to immigrants—this is a cultural pattern that operates in South Georgia as much as it operates in New York City. I’d call it “legalistic pluralism.” You’re “an American” if you’re legally a citizen and can recite some platitudes about the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and apple pie.

In France, “Frenchness” is bound up in a millennium of shared culture and history, a thousand different kinds of cheese, etc. That’s what causes friction with Muslim immigrants. They don’t want to be French—in particular, embrace the deeply held value of secularism—and that drives French people nuts.
What year did you graduate? It seems like most everyone who graduated in the past decade is screwed if they want to live near where the jobs are.
Actually the housing types we had in abundance in the 1900s-1930s - walkable, row houses, townhouses, garden apartments, apartments over the store - are now extraordinarily premium, luxury products. The modern car-dependent high-energy-use high-amenity high-sqft stuff is cheaper!
The issue is that proving the non-respect of those norms is aleatory. Alphabet or Zoom might say "we do respect GDPR, we do not record calls, perform behavioral analysis on them etc", IF for some reason I discover a third party have something that can only came from Zoom I might suspect a privacy violation and so file a formal complaint, otherwise I'm almost powerless in 99% of the case. Surely reverse engineering is not illegal, good luck to do so for any services, including the giants like Android, including their baseband etc.

Such laws can only work with mandatory FLOSS and open hardware with verifiable builds. Only one absent and the norms are just smoke. Oh BTW USA or EU actors does not change much, formally the USA Patriot Act change things, but only formally because the business model of an USA actor is the same of an EU one.

That's not how it works.

Banks lend and then try to find reserves, after the fact, because they have legal requirements. No bank loss a good lending business because they have not reserves enough.

When a bank make a loan, there are two possibilities: they have enough reserves, then they don't need to do anything.

Or they don't have enough reserves, so they have to borrow them from other banks or from the central bank.

If they borrow them from other banks they are creating demand for reserves in the inter-bank market. That makes the interest rate go up.

The central banks don't try to control the quantity of money, but the interest rate. If there are a lot of demand for reserves and the Central Bank don't add reserves to the system the interest rate will go up. So, the Central Bank add or retire reserves in order to keep the interest rate in the range they want.

The quantity of money is decided by the demand of lending in the economy.

The Central Bank can choose to try to control the quantity of money or the interest rate, but not both. All modern Central Banks try to control the interest rate.
The problem is that they get power and enforce their views on others.
> it makes sense why the body builds tolerance to psilocybin so rapidly and half life is quite long (at least a month or two) for evolutionary purposes

The half life of psilocybin is only a couple of hours, not a couple of months. The mental after effects can linger for a long time of course, if that's what you mean.
It’s weird too, because if they wanted to do all that why not just make that a separate plan/trip at a later date? There’s no reason to force it on someone when your free to just go do it as a group later
>There are whole categories of jobs that are exempt from minimum wage

I'm presuming you're talking about tipped jobs? It seems reasonable to presume that they earn close to minimum wage when factoring in tips, otherwise people would switch to non-exempt jobs.

The author provides no direct data, but cited a large number of peer reviewed articles and books. For example:

In a fascinating 2012 paper titled Sexual Economics, Culture, Men, and Modern Sexual Trends, the psychologists Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs wrote:

“Although this may be considered an unflattering characterization…we have found no evidence to contradict the basic general principle that men will do whatever is required in order to obtain sex, and perhaps not a great deal more. (One of us characterized this in a previous work as, ‘If women would stop sleeping with jerks, men would stop being jerks.’) If in order to obtain sex men must become pillars of the community, or lie, or amass riches by fair means or foul, or be romantic or funny, then many men will do precisely that.”
Worse, it's actually just a request to disable tracking, just like the unsubscribe link is a "if you get around to it in 6-8 weeks put my address on a do-not-contact list"

> Hearing ability overall doesn't decrease with age per se.

The established literature begs to differ.

> Our hearing does evolve in the ultra high frequency range, at 12kHz and above, but I'd argue that's not a very useful part of our range anyway, unlike the octaves our human voice ranges in.

If only it were all that simple. For starters, 12KHz isn't 'ultra high', and past 50 8 KHz should still be doable but sensitivity is what matters it this is a gradual process, not a hard cut-off from one day to the next. As you age the various components of your hearing mechanism stiffen, dry out and calcify making it harder to hear tones that you could hear easily before. So the ability to perceive an 'x' frequency may never go away but your ability to detect frequency 'x' at loudness level 'y' definitely does change.

Human voices have overtones just as instruments do, and those help in determining timbre and may help to recognize words and particular speakers (as in: people speaking, not the electromagnetic devices).

> I'd say hearing and especially listening gets better with age

The first is definitely not supported by data, in fact the data all points the other way: reduced sensitivity over time, especially in the highs.

As for listening: listening is an art and like any art you can get better at it over time but without good input it gets harder even if you get better.

> so investing in better acoustics is always a great experience.

Up to a point. And that point lies well below where audiophilia begins.
You have failed to show any reasoning to explain how some millennials getting fired (or not getting fired, apparently, in this last comment) for being "lazy" and "not wanting to work" led that generation to having a much lower share of total wealth compared to previous generations at the same age.

As the comment above you stated, the lower decile/quintile performers getting fired (or lower salaries) because of their laziness, does not explain this, because most of the wealth is accumulated by the average and higher earners anyway.
Absolutely. I'll add that there has been some preliminary exploration[0] into the genetics already; many would dismiss the psychotic and psychedelic (often disturbing and unpleasant) trips that some experience from THC (or cannabis, but this study focused on THC rather than other cannabinoids that may have been present), but there's already an established case that suggest that it's not simply an anxiety-ridden trip.

I think we agree that many pro-social structures exist in poor and socially rigid societies.

However these come at the expense of many liberties (i.e. religious) that are held as important in the more developed world. It's not clear that loss of such personal liberties would be an improvement in developed societies, even if it reduced the nominal divorce rate.

"Surface luminescence dating of some Egyptian monuments", Journal of Cultural Heritage,
Volume 16, Issue 2, March–April 2015, Pages 134-150

> Surface luminescence dating to Egyptian monuments of the age range 3000 B C to Hellenistic times has been applied for first time. Monuments include the Giza plateau (Sphinx Temple, Valley Temple, Mykerinus), the Qasr-el-Saqha, the Khasekemui tomb and the Seti I Temple with Osirion at Abydos. Equivalent doses were measured by the single and multiple aliquot additive and regeneration techniques, and dose rates by portable gamma ray probes, and with laboratory counting and dosimetry systems. The resulted ages have confirmed most conventional Dynastic dates, while in some cases, predating was obtained by some hundred of years. The dates are discussed in the light of current archaeological opinions.

From the conclusion:

> Different calculated and archaeological ages, beyond one standard error, were noticed for one sample at Valley Temple at Chephren's complex (limestone), one at Sphinx Temple (granitic), and one at Seti II Abydos (sandstone).
Yeah, I'm confused why no one else is discussing this. Who even said to hang tight? Was it someone on a Drive team? Was it a trusted community member? Was it just a optimistic Linux fanatic?

There is missing context.
Why are the only options "married couple" or "unmarried couple"? Or even "married couple" or "single parent"?

Why can't broader family structures be considered, and be stable?
I picked up on the 60% reduction point too. He got the idea in 2008 and looking at the chart you see the trend is constant over the last 30 years, so we can’t see any impact from their work in the plot. That’s not to say they haven’t helped to improve hygiene, but maybe hygiene would have been improved by other means (local soap, other NGOs, general sanitation)

I think GP is just trying to make sure we're comparing apples to apples. To me it almost comes across as you cherry picking data (average house price vs median salary).
I started doing the same after seeing room keepers just throw them to the trash back in 2019.
They lasts way longer than I expected - I haven’t bought any soap for over 2 years despite my travel is very limited(due to the pandemic), but I still have some remaining.

Like many Apple things, it's transparent, so you don't even remember it's working until it doesn't work. I've only had two problems:

1. I can't log in or pay a bill on att.com. That web site is such a dumpster fire anyway that I've switched to paying my bill over the phone because it's actually faster than the web site. (ATDT#927,,1,1,+++ATH)

2. Very occasionally the connection will be very slow. My ordinary throughput at home is about 400Mbps (an oddball speed, I know). Every once in a while it'll throttle down to 1Mbps for a while. Maybe a few minutes. Maybe a few hours. I expect it's due to maintenance and whatnot, since it's still a beta product.

> It doesn't help that worldwide media suppresses news coverage of the problems Muslim immigrants bring.

Because when you report on minorities causing troubles, you need to be extremely careful. Parts of what you say will be quoted out of context, repeated by people you want nothing to do with and used against the people who have nothing to do with what happened. I don't blame journalists and news agencies they think twice before doing it. But I do agree they should do it instead of burying the head in the sand and forcing the reader to read between the lines.

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I was refuting your claim: "your stereo - no matter how bad - will handily outperform your ears." This is trivially untrue. Another commenter mentions blown speakers as a counterexample. Or if I had to, I could build a set of speakers so terrible only deaf people could tolerate it. So the idea that your ears can't appreciate the difference between ANY pair of competing stereos, "no matter how bad" one of them is, is obviously wrong. We might disagree on where the quality floor is, but we must agree that it exists.

> If you’re taking documentation really seriously, put it on the scorecard. Look for good writers. ... Then put it in your career ladders too. It’s a competency that individuals need to develop if they’re to move to the next level.

Exactly. If it's not evaluated and rewarded in the same way shipping code is (in hiring, too, as mentioned), it'll never be treated as important by developers. Devs are generally rational: if you say "write docs!", but then complain when things take longer because they were taking time to write docs, well, then you can guess what will happen.
At least to me, it's like putting a $100 bill under a business' doormat to ward off burglars who know that there's 3 to 4 orders of magnitude more money and assets inside if they break in.

It's a nice bonus, but if they're working with other people for high stakes payouts, a small amount of money like that isn't going to be worth it for them to move on. $10k is nothing when split between other people and when you can demand hundreds of thousands to millions otherwise.
> Still, even the 60% reduction in such deaths over 20 years alone is pretty great and I hadn't known about it!

If you're interested about lots more statistics about how things have majorly improved in fairly recent history in lots of areas, albeit with lots of caveats about how there's certainly still more work to do, I can highly recommend Hans Rosling's book Factfulness.
