I can imagine that technical jobs were not as pervasive in non-technical fields making it much harder back then. Now nearly every corporation has a technical team, seems like a major advantage.

Interesting study. I grew up in this period, in the UK in a street with three kids put in the Mensa box who basically I hated, because they were arrogant snobs. I tended to think this was because IQ and Mensa but I now realise, it was cultural mismatch from a jewish-austrian background, with a huge chip on their shoulder about their social exclusion. They were "different". They were bloody smart. Hothousing kinda worked.

I also chose to walk off the IQ test game. I don't mean "my parents did this" I decided, off my own bat, to refuse to do them and asked my parents if they'd let me and they did. Age 10. As far as I'm concerned, for all but the margins this is junk science. I am by no means an autodidact, I had a normal traditional education to university level, and I continued for years to "know" I was the star in my own movie, a future nobel lauriate in a classic Walter Mitty dream, right up until i realised how average (and btw, happy) I was. I don't regret being average. I do regret not trying harder sometimes, and weed.

So to the problem discussed here. Did the culture of the 60s 70s and 80s of intervention into what we now call "gifted and talented" help? I would argue despite the above, it probably did: an appreciation of the time, was the need to socially level up access to senior tertiary study and this window of time is when University was free, and entrance exams were non-exclusionary to working class kids. We have a massive cohort of people who graduated from uni, and the high end group-of-five big name universities because of this kind of programme. Imagine how hard it is to get outside the frame when your parents have no exposure to the richness of life, beyond the everyday. This kind of immersion for kids had a positive effect on some.

If you want insights to the culture of the time, watch the "7 up" documentary series and reflect on the life outcomes for some of these kids.
Bash ain't great, but it's heaven compared to eg GNU Make.
Yes, it’s possible to train and improve nearly everything that people think are natural talents. The problem is that it takes a lot of work and it’s easier to think “I’m not the kind of person who can…” than do the work.

It uses more energies than entire countries, just like every industry that uses orders of magnitude more than bitcoin.

Energy =/= pollute

Focus on the bad actors that are polluting, occasionally you’ll find a miner
All you have to know is that any coin that has to be backed by anything is a shit coin. Think about that. Understand that. There's only one coin that is not backed by anything, that has no founder, that has no ulterior motive, that is not centralized, that is not designed as a get rich quick scheme for the founders. And the venture capitalist, in the backers. You know which one that is. So if you make that realization, however painful, that might be, you are neo, you have taken a red pill. And no, that real world, your first glimpse of it, it's not going to be pretty, but then, after you process, you will see it is beautiful, it is full of hope and love, you have found home.
Yes it is true. Basically the formula for your taxes are (appraised home value / total appraised value of all houses in the town) * budget of the town. The market does absolutely take it in effect, like I said, towns with lower taxes sometimes become wealthy enclaves were people will drop 2 mil on a house and then have basically no taxes. My only issue with the system is it winds up being regressive sometimes because the wealthier an area is the lower the taxes tend to be.
It will be interesting to see how this impacts areas with heavy presence of tech workers.

Well i could wish for correct ideals to be taught which happen to be overwhelmingly not the republican ones.
I couldn't read the article, but I think part of the significance is that bitcoin is believed by some to be a new gold standard that investors would fly to as a store of value and medium of exchange when other markets are failing. But the reality is that it performs no differently than a volatile tech investment, and in doing do negates a big part of it's putative value proposition.

I agree with everything in your comment, I just think it's worse than an energy intensive, non contributing tech stock, it also doesn't do any of the things that people talk up as reasons to buy it.
Some industries use more energy but do more useful things.

The question is what’s the minimum to do something. Bitcoin uses more energy than the alternatives.

A wood burning stove is wasteful, a heat pump, not so much. Why? Because what’s important is the difference in energy between the action taken and the most efficient action to complete a task.
The social experience is important too, I would argue. There must be a good way to combine that with reasonably priced education.
At least a house of cards has actual cards supporting it, it's not clear what's supporting cryptocurrency.

If you have to extend Markdown, the battle is lost. The basic core idea, is OK, but as soon as you find yourself needing to do more documenty things (lists with formatting, tables, etc.) its the wild, wild west - different extension standards CommonMark, Github style, etc., editor, or library of choice.

Not to mention all the special-custom-component standards now which require code... the whole point of Markdown was you could just use any old text editor and be just as well off as looking at a prettified version.

You have the higher complexity and learning curve anyways, more, even.

I guess, the bad design decisions in RST are bad, but there are equally bad design decisions in all these new extensions, editors.

Instead of trying use a hammer put in screws, we should just change tooling. If you need document-level formatting etc., plain-text formatting is cool but don't try to be markdown. Use markdown when you just need simple text docs, if you find yourself doing complex stuff maybe you shouldn't be using markdown, or at least not calling yourself "markdown".

Yeah, as a retailer their business is far more at risk from market fluctuations I guess. They can ride high in the bull market but a drop in asset price puts everything at risk.

OK, well that does explain things more neatly.
Yes. You can only compute probabilities with respect to a probability model. There exists a model M and an outcome x, such that x has zero probability under M. For example, the probability of getting 2 heads in one coin toss has zero probability under the standard binomial model.
I've seen various reports that the reverse is true, people are moving away from their family less than in the past, although I'm struggling to find the right search terms ("migration" is flooded with immigration results; "mobility" is turning up economic stuff...). Compare today with a century ago: how many places went from "barely on the map" to "huge metropolis" in the USA since then? How many look poised to do the same over the next century?

And I think when they are moving, they're similarly not moving to as "new" or "small" destinations - e.g. tons of sunbelt towns saw very rapid growth from young adults moving there in the 60s-90s. But many of those towns are still the ones seeing a lot of growth; anecdotally, my parents moved to Dallas after college. Where's the "new Dallas"? The cheaper towns with jobs that are being promoted are still the same ones as fifty years ago, and they're not nearly as cheap as they were then anymore. Combine that with rising population from immigration + the kids who grew up there and didn't move away, and you see a lot of cost inflation.
The article is written as a response to claims that Bitcoin is an asset (class) different enough from stocks to be useful to diversify a portfolio. It's pointing out that, at a correlation of 0.86, it really isn't.

The headline doesn't quite convey this meaning.
That plumbing is there and easily doable, but up to Apple… just like how the proliferation of QR codes in America didn’t happen until Apple decided to include it in the camera app. It (QR codes) was widely used for maybe almost a decade in China due to inclusion in the ubiquitous Wechat app.

However given the app store is a cash cow for Apple I highly doubt they’d want to integrate web more deeply.
I don't think the entire Instagram app is written in React Native. Only parts of it.

A lot of situations where prestige matters don't place any value on the knowledge learned in college anyway.

As luxury consumption, universities are far superior to community colleges. It's so incredibly cool to learn math from celebrities who literally wrote the book on the topic.
Bitcoin alone was apparently given a market cap of over 2 trillion recently.

That’s roughly the entire GDP of France. If France’s economy poofed out of existence or halved in value, that’d be a huge shake up.
“It delegitimizes the argument that Bitcoin is like gold,” said Vetle Lunde, an analyst for Arcane. “Evidence points in favor of Bitcoin just being a risk asset.”

People said that Bitcoin is like gold, an actual physical asset?
They need to look at how people used Shopify. I'd say they have lost market share to Shopify!
Good points, but I think it entirely depends on the company’s runway and revenue. Companies that are making money hand over fist don’t have much to worry about, and startups that just raised and don’t have to raise again for two or three years are probably fine as well (as in, no more risky than any other time to join that early stage company)

So are a huge number of politicians.

It's also a slippery slope- where is the line drawn? We allow everyone to elect the government, but you don't trust them to vote on a referendum?
It could easily be true, but that's definitely something I'd only try as a last resort until there's some good experimental evidence (which will probably only happen if enough people self-experiment for there to be an obvious benefit).

I know you are asking this question as a way to disprove my point, but I think yes, whether on purpose or inadvertently. Trump's "America first" doctrine wasn't exactly loved by the rest of the world. And a lot of these countries were following the lead of the US and the WHO.
There is nothing wrong with gerrymandering. It's not me saying it, it's Sandra Day O'Connor, whose words I'll be paraphrasing (from memory; maybe later I'll dig up the actual opinion).

You can gerrymander to make your party's representatives' seats more secure, or you can gerrymander to have more seats for your party. In the former case your overall majority will be smaller when you win all the elections you expect to win, while in the latter case your overall majority will be bigger, though in each district the popular vote majority will be smaller. Either way your party can lose badly in the event of a wave election, either because few seats need flipping (in the first case), or because popular preferences change enough to swamp your large majority of small majority districts (second case).

We've had one anomalous period of 62 years of no wave elections in the past 100 years in the U.S.: 1932-1994. Since then we've had these wave election years that flipped the House or greatly enhanced the majority party's majority: 1994, 2006, 2008, 2010. That's... quite a few wave elections. That's in spite of the democrats having had 62 years to gerrymander before 1994, and despite the mid-cycle gerrymandering of the 00s. We can expect more wave elections.

Gerrymandering is self-limiting.

There's Expo if you don't want to setup your own stack.

You certainly don't need it though, I have no issue with my React Native stack.

Flutter has its share of similar tooling issues, most of the time its native things like CocoaPods that affect both projects.

RN has a huge amount of plugins, a lot that are very good quality. It's up to the dev to pick quality dependencies.

As with other subjects in this realm, I find the support a little over hyped and occasionally disingenuous.

Based on both my own experience and the collective anecdotes it’s they’re a gamble. I’ve heard stories of great CC’s inferring interesting programs with better teaching. On the other hand I’ve both heard and seen schools that are basically just a worse version of the flail high school, with uselessly superficial courses taught by people who don’t seem to know what they’re doing. IMO they tend to shine in two places.

1) training for skilled labor. I’ve seen lots of good programs, usually with ties to local manufacturers or industry that create a pipeline for needed skilled labor. This could be trades, medical stuff, etc. The starting income for some of these aren’t too bad for a single individual, though I question how far someone can get long term.

2) Transfers, particularly when the schools have agreements guaranteeing acceptance. Depending on a number of other factors, this can be dirt cheap as well.

this is an argument from incredulity, We could form a system for justice that is completely distributed, with no hierarchy of leaders, where every complaint of trespass is filed on ( for example ) a blockchain, a random jury is drawn from a pool of volunteers to hear every case, individually. The same infrastructure could be used to organize funding for public works, I.e. "this road brought to you by X" or, "5% of every purchase goes toward Y".
Market cap is a hilariously meaningless term in the world of crypto. $2 Trillion very simple <number of coins> * <last purchase price> calculation. Nowhere near $2 Trillion of actual money are in this system. Comparing this to the GDP of one of the largest economies on the planet is... well, it's just silly.
> It's crazy that local elected legislators end up able to manipulate this, but you can't really prevent the government of the sovereign entity, in this case the Federal Government (which will presumably be elected in a democracy otherwise what's the point) from being able to seize this power if it determines to do so.

They arguably have. The voting rights act took away redistricting power from... Bad acting districts. Some (certainly not all) of those districts have arguably made reasonable amends and are at low risk of 'stealing votes from minorities' but are stuck having the feds draw their lines due to a shitty history and no desire of the feds to give it back, while arguably racist northern districts get away with some bullshit Scott free because they aren't southern.
Look at the narratives you’re regurgitating yourself in this very thread.
It helps when you understand that "market cap" has no meaning in the crypto world and that their "trillion dollar" numbers are completely imaginary.

The market cap of a stock (shares outstanding x share price) makes sense because each share represents a piece of the profits of the company and an ownership stake. If you took away half of the shares, the price per share would ~double and the market cap would remain the same since it's based on current cash + projections about the future profitability of the company, and the share price reflects those expectations. None of that is true for crypto.

Financially illiterate crypto people started multiplying the coin price x number of coins outstanding and calling that a "market cap" but there's nothing underlying the crypto world. Owning a bitcoin doesn't represent a percentage profit of some underlying economic activity that's being independently valued, coins are zero coupon bearer instruments, the value is in the coin itself. It's like talking about the "market cap" of pesos, just incoherent and easily gameable.
50% of my cc student body was high school students in that program. That cohort was higher achieving than the average hs student.

I think the big difference was that they were there to teach, not do research. They would have left for engineering or s/w jobs long ago I they didn't actually love teaching

>I asked a psychiatrist friend of mine what they do when someone shows up depressed for reasons that are totally reasonable. She said they try to use drugs and therapy to generate some minor delusions that would help the person feel better in their environment.

I've literally just been through this, and I can 100% say it actually helped. I'm still on the drugs but I've got just enough tools to create just enough minor delusions to ride out the current funk and get to a better place where I can come off the drugs. I'm pretty glad I caught it in time as I can totally see what that level of stress/anxiety/depression does to people and I'm particularly vulnerable to it.
France's GDP results from liquid money already being moved around.

"Market cap" estimates assume that everyone could sell without the price moving. It's going to be far more sensitive to price changes than an actual country's GDP, it's based on what current trading prices are.

And Bitcoin, unlike a company with a huge market cap, isn't providing goods or services. E.g. if Apple disappeared into thin air, everyone hoping to buy new Apple phones or computers would be dramatically affected and that would have a ton of ripple effects. But if Apple's sales dropped to 0 and then they went out of business, their valuation would be down to 0 but a lot of people would've recouped some of their investment on the way down - the people selling earlier being better off than the ones later. This is a crazy scenario, though, since they're sales wouldn't go to 0 overnight.

So who's actually relying on Bitcoin? Some companies in the space, sure. Probably a bunch of individuals who did stuff like use bitcoin as part of their wealth portfolio when taking out loans. But if those people had those holdings wiped out, will the ramifications be huge? My guess is probably not but I don't actually know how many people would, for instance, be unable to pay their mortgage if their crypto holdings imploded.

(This will be interesting to see if a crash does happen: in a world where you believe prices always go up, the "clever" move is to not sell your bitcoin, but to borrow against it, so it appreciates in the background still. But in a world where there's a crash, this could leave you worse off than before, the debt won't go away just because the price fell.)
How hard would it be to adapt this style of resilience driven development to other languages? You mention having to make several improvements to the core algorithms when faced with truly concurrent code. For example, could microservice architectures in node.js use your methods/application?
Half the interesting stuff gets lost in “new”.
At least when Apple was circling the drain back in the late 1990's it had assets that more or less meant there was a floor for its stock price.

I see no floor for crypto.
