A story from an academic summer camp where I used to work:

In the dining hall one morning, a teacher sees three kids putting ice cubes into the toaster. The teacher walks up to them. Two of the kids dash away, leaving the third to fend for herself.

Teacher: "What are you doing?"

Student: "Putting ice cubes into the toaster."

Teacher: "Why would you do that?"

Student: "To see what would happen."

Teacher: "Okay. Let's think about this. What happens to ice when it gets hot?"

Student: "It melts?"

Teacher: "Yes, it melts into water. And what happens when you put water into an electronic device like a toaster?"

Student: "...it goes boom?"

Teacher: "So should you put ice into the toaster?"

Student: "No."

Teacher: "Thank you."

This is a camp explicitly for gifted & talented students, by the way. They are exceptionally talented in many ways, but they're still 11 years old.
Certainly awareness of your performance, your relationship with your manager, what's happening with the company/your project etc. all may send signals that it's time to start looking elsewhere. But sometimes executive decisions happen without a lot of warning. And sometimes, to the point of a lot of the discussion here, something may be affecting the sector as a whole (or wider) so it may not be easy to find another position. A lot of people who post here seem to assume that getting a new job is something you send a few emails about and expect to get deluged with interview offers. That's not true of many people even today and certainly isn't true at all during downturns.
That's a bug, the compiler should require `unsafe { n := Node { 123,nil,nil } }`.

I'm not sure about what the concept is but tell me if this is more or less it -

So you pay me (the insurer) a monthly premium and if you live to be 150 years old I pay you a million dollars and if you die earlier than that all I get is the money from the premiums? Ok, I'll take that deal and wouldn't have any problems getting reinsurance on it. Fantastic, write me a check.

150 y.o is a bit too high? Ok, no problem we'll make it 109 years. I'll still take the deal (and your money).

Lower that to you making it 40, 50 or 60 y.o to get the payout? No thanks. Well, not without a full medical and access to some actuarial tables :)

Twin adoption studies often show that effects of parenting are present but smaller than effects of genetics. However those don’t typically look at abnormal cases like homeschooling.
Doesn't feel like that long ago since that same line of thinking is still applied to China today. Read enough and you'll be convinced of the imminent collapse of China any day now.
I don’t think that’s true about Civ 6. A lot of people who only ever played Civ 5 might have been “pissed” and didn’t bother to try it, because they didn’t realize that the Civ games change every time, but any actual “series veteran” was fine with it.
Absolutely it's political. Hitler was a political actor at the end of the day, as a ruler of a nation. And Nazism is a political ideology. Just because we all agree that Nazism is repugnant (and that too is debatable - several far right US organizations are still today pro-Nazi) doesn't make an anti-Nazi film apolitical.
In Europe it’s commonly illegal to lay off people before negotiations (which may sometimes be rather one-sides but nevertheless there are rituals to observe).
Really? I kinda like the '[discipline X professional] reacts to [relevant movie clips]'-type videos (like 'Navy pilot reacts to new Top Gun movie'). You find them so terrible?
No and there are currently investigations ongoing: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2022/02/12/ibm-accuse...

Companies have many ways they obfuscate or hide layoffs of older workers though, there is very little legal protection as long as the company isn't so stupid and brazen as IBM (i.e. leaves a trail of evidence in emails).
> the skills learned in dealing with non-family adults

In my experience, the relationship developed with non-family adults at school is a narrow, one-sided relationship, where non-family adults are authority figures, rather than say, mentors, strangers, or even friends. Having this skill is still important but the one-sidedness can warp a kid's perception of what adults "are", so it's important to develop adult relationships outside of the school setting.

Also, your first sentence seems true to me, but I assume home-schoolers aren't always at home -- they can meet with other groups of home-schooled kids, or join groups related to sports, activities, etc. This, of course, largely depends on the parents.
One important thing about child development in isolated environments is that academically: you can catch up later. You might be older than the other students when you finally get there, but you can do it and end up doing just as well as the children who had a head start. But socially that's a very long, lonely road I wouldn't wish on anyone.

The only situation in which I'd consider homeschooling my child is if it was in the daily, sustained company of other families and involved parents. Skill-building aside: seeing other kids at the playground once a week doesn't even begin to take the edge off the loneliness.
Outside of explicit contract law you may be tangled up in, the US doesn't have explicit law and most employees are classified as "at-will" (basically, dependent upon where the business views this freedom as beneficial or non-beneficial to itself).

Since businesses haven't managed to lobby such legislation requirements in for workers to give notice (largely because at-will is typically beneficial to them) and just use contract law where it matters (public personalities, etc.) you can just show up and quit legally, without legal repercussions.

With that said, cultural protections have been put into place under job history in the application process. If I were to show up and without a very good reason tell me employer I quit effective immediately, I can do so unlike the European cases described.

But is this really freedom or an illusion of freedom? Many in the US are living paycheck-to-paycheck to survive. They're financially leveraged and can't really just quit, they need to line up an opportunity and have minimal savings to protect them. For them they can make the choice but it's a bad choice for them and most of the time they won't. Businesses know this and leverage it. The pandemic labor market offered a shift in this giving some bargaining power back to labor but it seems to be clawing right back to businesses again, probably for quite some time.

In what are classified as more professional positions, you're expected to give 2-weeks notice. Many employers request references and if you're honest during your interview, leaving without notice in most cases will require a good explanation and a competent interviewer, otherwise you're a red flag no hire almost immediately and there's a pool of others behind you without said red flag. So, I could quit tomorrow, but I'd have to be very careful with my next employer as to how I go about referencing my previous work, why I left, etc. In most cases I can't really just show up and quit, I need to give notice and wait. Perhaps that's not as long as some European countries closer to the order of 4 weeks IIRC but it's not as free as it might appear to be for the majority of laborers.

I think that in general parents concentrating brainpower on their kids would be a good thing ! And there are few things more enriching for your child (and their school or homeschool community) then getting involved in their education. A lot of research supports that parent involvement in education makes a bigger impact in a child’s education and the health of their school then any other factor.

With regards to therapy - wholeheartedly agree. We’ve got to put on those oxygen masks before we assist our kids! A parent who practices self-care, is grounded and calm will be a better parent for sure hands down
Black markets that are already setup take a bit to knock down, and even just taxes can keep them running for years (there's a moderately strong black market for cigarettes, for example).

For things that are NOT in the process of being banned entirely, sin taxes may do more harm than good.

Very true, 'gamers' are a strange bunch, not the average person that plays a few games but those that fully identify with that label.

Huge amount of tribalism too, over which platform they 'support', they believe just because they use a particular service then they can expect all sorts of demands on it, rather than just casually playing whatever game they want on whatever platform they like.
I don't see how this contradicts what I'm saying: it sold more because it had a (significantly) larger user base to sell to in the first place.

Specialized labor certification just requires that you memorize the safety requirements (that will almost always be obvious for engineers), and at most repeat a set of steps.

It can not be too onerous, because people need the work, and people capable of solving systems of differential equations have better opportunities than work on them.

Why would they want to work together? Republicans have reached a particular outcome that is favourable to them with this verdict. Why would they be interested in passing any law that would bring back exactly the environmental protections they wanted to avoid in the first place?

How about 90? It's pretty old, and many people won't reach it, but it's not exactly super rare either.

What about a $3 fee that automatically comes out of the ad revenue when your video exceeds $Arbitrary limit (they could start at 200,000 views to start with).
> Games are far more products like movies than they are "art"

Says whom? You demonstrate your points by showing that blockbusters make money, which says nothing about whether they are art. They're entirely different dimensions of the same work, and hard to compare. Obviously the accounting department will have a different point of view than the creative director.

You're also arguing that people making new films on an existing franchise should stick to giving the fans what they want. But who's to say the fans even know what they want? They might not care, they might be mistaken, they might misremember things. For example, people clamoring for World of Warcraft Classic or a back-to-the-roots Sonic game back in the day weren't really hoping for a product per se, but rather to go back to a time when the product was more culturally relevant (and they were younger).

A new direction can also capture a new audience, which might make fans negligible. For instance the Star Wars prequel are still divisive but a large, younger portion of the fandom likes them very much.

And what fans are we talking about anyway? You give Spider-man as an example. But there have been thousand of pieces of Spider-man media, with wildly different art styles and tones. Which one is "what the fans want"? Disney went with the Marvel formula precisely because it's a lowest-common denominator style of film, accessible to non-fans.

And finally another obvious problem with your thesis is that nothing new can be made if it is required to give to the masses what they want for sure. Almost by definition, it is unknown whether any new concept, style, tone, or property are what people want. At the same time it is known that the public at least somewhat values originality, so companies take risks and release films such as Pirates of the Caribbean or games like Assassin's Creed.
The biggest problem is that getElementByID doesn’t fucking work.

And then if you sign sibling documents, you essentially have most of the same problems you have with ensuring a zip file doesn’t have a malicious payload, because file cannonicalization is fraught with issues.

It took me a couple pages of don’ts to nail it down, and I missed a big one that I didn’t see until pretty late in the project.
This is kind of memory-holed, possibly because South Korea was a US ally long before it was a democracy, and "west aligned" tended to trump "democratic" a lot.
Edit: Got mixed up with R-12, which was used in cars and apparently runs at a lower pressure.

I looked into an R134a conversion for my 1990 car about 10 years ago and found that any remaining R-12 would need to be vacuumed out of the system and collected for re-use. I elected to just live without A/C for a few more years and let the junkyard collect the refrigerant when I ended up scrapping the car.
Of course it did, it was profitable for them. Google doesn't care about laws, they have a mountain of lawyers and piles of cash that ensure they will never be held accountable at any level.

Get off Google if you can, you're the product, not the customer.
More gatekeeping, huh?

Why don't you tell this to the producers of serrated knives? I guess they would want to know that they are doing this completely wrong.

I'm not surprised you disagree, but I am surprised your surprised someone would think advertising is wrong. Have you never heard the phrase "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product?" A quick google search shows lots of articles adjacent to "Marketing is evil", at least in my ecosphere, lots of talk in the way that companies manipulate psychology to increase ad clicks/impressions.
My aunt made her own hash oil (legally, from NL). It was for the CBD, her husband (my uncle) had cancer. She grew her own. This way, it is more or less standardized.

Standardization is a problem with decriminalized and illegal drugs.
1) I have never seen any derisive claims about the Chinese people on HN - just the Chinese government/CCP.

2) What do you expect? The Chinese government is actively running concentration camps. Most people in western democracies consider many of the Chinese government's policies to be outright immoral. They have a recent history of leveraging surveillance and propaganda - both unpopular in western societies - to a much higher degree than western nations. We could go tit-for-tat listing off both sides' history of atrocities, but the ruling party in China still refuses to even recognize some of their most noteworthy atrocities. China and the western world have been engaged for decades in a back-and-forth war of economics and diplomacy on a global scale, each vying to get significant leverage over the other. Did you really expect a lot of positive coverage of a nation whose history, actions, policies are so maligned by western society? One who poses such a significant risk to western ideals?

I'm not arguing that the western world is without blame, but it seems silly to expect such impartial coverage of China from a western perspective, all things considered.
No, no, it's a good example. The law was on the books. Leaving enforcement up to the whims of a DA has a chilling effect.

That the US actions were all positive in WW2. That the US were the heroes. This agenda is so seeped in modern culture today, that it's difficult to see today.

The studies are mixed!

Twin studies show that nurture has little impact on personality or IQ, excepting things like serious abuse.

But, they do show huge correlation between parental income and child income.

So it seems nurture can affect life outcomes a lot but not much intrinsic to who you are.
The bread dries out in our press also. You can see steam being released before it gets hot enough to smoke.

One bonus way I like to make it for myself is keep the lid open and only cook one side. This leaves one side moist and other crispy. Downside to toasting one side is it's slower due to no pressure.

Cooking both sides with lid down is quicker, but you have to be careful with the height setting you use. We know how to make it perfectly now, but when we first got it we were making squished cracker-like toast.
We could start with: it's incredibly expensive.

Kids need time and attention and space. Teaching is not compatible with holding down a full-time job, because it is a full-time job. Teaching one or two or three kids is not significantly less work than teaching 20.

That's a fair observation but do you think the problem is that incentives were not designed properly for the system to flourish. I mean, right now the incentives on Amazon are not technically incentives. You are straight up paid for a review or you hire your friends/family to do the same. If you can clearly incentivize good behavior, maybe everyone could make money and the system will still be less fraud prone.

The word "blockchain" is mentioned only once in the spec, and only in one of the 12 use cases.

The garbage part is that 9 of 10 (give or take) methods registered on https://www.w3.org/TR/did-spec-registries/#did-methods are from crypto-hyper-cosmos-nonsense.

The reason is that serious organizations like MasterCard or BankID will only begin considering registering a method once the spec is a W3C Recommendation. At this stage, only insignificantly small or heavily invested parties registered a method on a draft standard (which is what a "proposed recommendation" roughly means).

Edit: nope, I was wrong, Mastercard has one https://github.com/Mastercard/did-methods/blob/master/id.md
I’ve never met someone who was homeschooled past elementary school and thought it was a good idea.

I think homeschooling is often cruel to children. However I think tools to help make it better for those who will choose it anyway are a good thing. Best of luck to you.
