It's funny how different it is between regions here. In Berlin you smell it everywhere on the streets and in the bars. In Munich, if you're caught smoking, the police gets quite interested.

It's obvious how it's going to be legal in Berlin, I'm just wondering how it's going to look like in other places of Germany...
In my country, we’d get an hour (or more?) to walk home for lunch every day.

"Just get everyone to be perfect, including random companies who require a phone number for validation, and if a single failure ever happens you're going to be spammed forever in a way that is directly interruptive and intrusive instead of one in a list of messages in a queue."

I don't know how to say this any more nicely than this: this is a permanently losing solution with no redeeming qualities to such a degree that it makes me wonder at how in-good-faith the suggestion actually is with regards to solving the stated problem.
I wouldn't say "nothing to do with parents." But kids in that age range can do quite a few things on their own. I was in college in a different city at 16.
anyone else just define a function log(msg) the prints to stderr or maybe stdout and use that instead for simple programs/daemons? I never really got the big value proposition of seven-leveled logging or the complexity of it. If I need to customize it I just change my log function.
"all" is hyper-optimistic. I live in such city, and it's half at best, the rest needs a car to get around anyways; and most schools require parents to pick up children at least until third grade.
Re the weird convention: When you're a right handed guitarist and you're facing towards your pedals, the lead comes out of your guitar going to the right.

That's irrelevant if your pedals are in an FX loop, but if they're actually between the guitar and the amp, it makes perfect sense to avoid having your guitar lead trail across or catch under your stompboxes.
If a user has $250k or less in USD assets on the platform I believe it does.

For most of these sites, users convert deposits into stablecoins (USDC, etc) since they can typically earn interest on this, and this is not covered under FDIC.
What's irresponsible about that compared to just parking it in BTC?
There are instruments at least that used to exist (in the UK) called defined benefit pensions that effectively work as you describe. They have some level of inflation cap (typically between 3 and 9%) beyond which they are not inflation protected. I don’t know if people can still get them, but many pensioners in the UK on private pensions have them.
>especially in the modern era of 0% reserve requirements.

Total red herring; reserve requirements went away but they were irrelevant because banks were holding massively in excess of the required reserves in any case.
I'm not sure we need public transportation to pick up 3 kids on top of a mountain.
True, I'm thinking of the average 14 year old who is well, average. Do you really think the average kid spends their time writing code?

Anyways, the part I'm considering insane is the parents, should have clarified. Career opportunities for a 14 year old, sheesh.

If the kid wants to learn programming, there are much better avenues then going to sit in an office. For example, they can make a game mod / Roblox game, etc.
> especially in the modern era of 0% reserve requirements

They’ve been replaced with capital requirements, which make a lot more sense in modern finance than reserve requirements.
Private schools often start out as homeschooling coops.
"which is supposed to serve its demographic broadly."

Which the current times do.

"The rule being set by the state or by the local school district is hardly of consequence."

This is totally untrue. At the district level, parents have more say in creating the rules that work for them (their local demographic!).

"You're okay with painting broad strokes about parents' lives but then make an argument about individual students."

Either one is broad. I'm pointing out that the very argument you make can be used against the position you're defending.
It doesn't really work like that for those of us who aren't "morning people." I will feel exhausted if I have to get up at 7:30, but will feel amazingly awake with the same number of hours if I can sleep in till 9am. It's not just the number of hours, but how they align to the daily clock.

As an European I'm curious about such management ideas: I work to live, not the contrary, so if a company try to stress me to munge better performances that company it's better to fail.

Emergency are emergency and during them stress is part of the game, artificially created stress to whip workers is, at least here, a good way to get only desperate workers who just need keeping their source of income, talents knows they can get better jobs or makes their own activity if needed. Maybe the recent "unionization rush" in the USA should remember such concept to employers: people do not work FOR a company for the company success as a personal success, but for money to do something, and that means work as relaxed as possible. People who work for company success are entrepreneurs and they got no salary but profits. They can't be workers in a company with more than few people.
It's not that doctors resent people improving their health, it's that people are wary of their healthcare services existing in a for-profit system- these types of scams play to the paranoia and fear that people associate with medical establishments selling treatments rather than establishing preventative health. Basically it boils down to the sentiment people generally have that doctors benefit from sick people because they make money from people being sick.

Anecdotally, I remember growing up in Brazil and we were taught in school about human anatomy and all sorts of health issues and how nutrition, immunization, proper hygeine, etc. helped prevent being sick... as well as home remedies for simple illness. But here in the US people seem to seek some authority to provide solutions, and these scam pseudo-medical ads play to this and fill the gap where state medicine and folk knowledge would otherwise be.
> This sounds like the confusing US laws. Cannabis is illegal (very illegal) nationally. But several states decided to stop prosecuting these crimes, and the states do most of the policing in the US - so it’s all but legal in many states.

That's not an accurate explanation of the situation in the US.

Cannabis is illegal at the federal level. Separately, it is illegal in some states too (although fewer and fewer as the years go by). States do not have the power to prosecute people under federal law, so in states where the state has legalized marijuana, prosecutors (DA, AG, etc.) have no basis to file criminal charges.

The federal prohibition means that people can be prosecuted for possession on federal land, or if a federal agency (such as the FBI) takes enough interest to enforce the federal law, but they rarely bother at this point.

> I wish there was a legal standard whereby if the state stops prosecuting a law, the law automatically can be invalidated by a court.

What you are describing is actually closer to the Dutch system. Marijuana is illegal there, but because it's been "tolerated" (best translation of the Dutch word) for long enough, it's not actually legal for them to enforce the law anymore. (Well, sort of).
> finished my BS at the same time I finished high school

I suspect a high %age of people here on HN could say the same thing.

There's the Big Bang Theory effect, to portray all intellectually gifted people as neurotic social basket cases. I think that's done in many schools as well.

This sort of reminds me of Lupin Beans that I discovered and started eating in large quantities before (thankfully quite quickly) finding out are actually very dangerous if not properly prepared, and that even properly prepared (as they probably were) they may be ill advised for regular long term consumption due to their effects in the nervous system. Their acute toxic effects sound a little different, but I wonder if some similar issue occurred here.
> does that mean anyone with less than $250k is guaranteed their money?

I’ve noticed a lot of crypto companies being sneaky with this. What that means is if Metropolitan Commercial Bank goes under, Voyager’s cash is protected. It does nothing to protect cash you’ve entrusted to Voyager if Voyager goes under.
You probably also remember when bank buildings were designed to look like historic buildings, in order to foster a sense of trust and permanence.

Today, banks look like coffee shops and low-rent cell phone stores.
Awesome, thank you, Hillel!

For a while I grew quite fond of wasting phone scammers time. I’d pick up, talk suuuuuuper slowly— like Emo Phillips speed at one syllable every one or two seconds— interrupt with irrelevant questions or anecdotes, and overall just see how long I could keep them on the phone without giving them any information. The best strategy I found was telling them that, yes indeed I did remember owing the IRS or whoever money and I could pay them however and insisting that first they needed to take down my new email address… I’d just start spelling random words incredibly slowly, say I messed up and start over, ask if they needed my checking account number to keep them engaged and then start spelling my email address again. They prey on intellectually disabled folks so pantomiming a stereotypical version of that wastes a ton of time while keeping their interest. Got boring after a while but I got pretty good at it.

I've been buying glasses from the cheap Chinese websites for ages now. There's some utility to being able to take your time in a show room, but the online venders are so cheap it only took one or two tries for me to find frames I like reliably. And they're $60 instead of $600 even with some premium coatings/features.
They don't need to be the same kid.

After school has after school activities. It also typically means they don't need to cook if the parents are home for dinner.
It's neither. There have been studies that showed that they don't need more sleep, but are naturally on a later circadian rhythm. Young kids are on a early cycle. Once they become teens the cycle shifts to later hours and then in the 20s starts moving forward again.

No young people need to get up early to build character. If you let them stay up late they will get into trouble and become lazy watching TV and playing video games or whatever or worse they will be out late drinking and smoking marijuana. High school especially should start at 7:00 AM.
If I let my body clock do what it wants, I sleep from about 3am - 11am. This has been my tendency since high school age. I'm 56 now. My memory of the 22 years I had kids living in the house is slightly fogged by me always being tired from having to get up early to be sure they got to school and me to work.

With the pandemic and WFH I shifted much closer to my natural schedule.

We're officially back in the office now, but nobody is really taking attendance so I get up at around 11, do some email while I eat breakfast, then head in to the office until about 6pm. I'm still getting as much or more done as I ever did, because I was too tired to be effective when I was coming in at 8:00 and basically just stared at the screen for two or three hours until I really woke up.

not your keys, not your coins
Spouse of a third year resident here. My wife has volunteered at several primary care (i.e. generic doctor) clinics in Manhattan and nearby area (Queens, Astoria, Brooklyn and even in Boundbrook, NJ). These are all owned by the doctors. She worked in all kinds of operations of a clinic from billing, sending prescription, taking patient history, etc.

Back-of-the-napkin calculation based on my wife's experience -- if you are a primary care (generic) doctor in a highly populated area and you see ~40 patients a day and each patient pays $100/visit.

$100 * 40 patients * 22 days per month of work * 12 months = $1056000 (about $1 million USD)

We are using $100/patient/visit and that's being very conservative. Most of these doctors would encourage the staff/volunteers who do the billing to put as many relevant billing codes as possible in the system (e.g., if someone comes in with a cough, they'll try to bill for anything related to cough symptom although they already knew it's just for seasonal allergy). This is necessary also because a lot (not all) of the patients are on medicare/aid and the reimbursement from medicare/aid is not as good as the ones from the private insurance companies. The cost of the labor is mostly just one assistant or at most two for ~$20-$30/hour max. Not sure about the insurance cost (but we assume that it would cost ~$20-$30K/year for malpractice insurance?) and renting the clinic (some docs do own the clinic). All in all, we believe that having your own practice can net you a lot more than what you'd make by working as an attending/hospitalist at a hospital (on average, hospitalists make between $250K-$300K/year, which is still commendable).

But if you live in a rural area, which tend to have smaller population density, then you are probably better off working for a hospital because as a hospitalist, you can make close or a little more than $300K/year as a general doctor. My wife knows a couple of doctors in Palmdale, CA, who work as hospitalists in two hospitals (6 days a week alternating between two hospitals; the days start at around 9am and ends around 3-4pm). They rake in ~$600K/year from salaries (not including bonuses). A friend of mine just completed his residency and got an offer from a hospital near Dyersburg (Tennessee) for $300K/year salary with $40K sign-on bonus. The specialists earn more of course: https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/how-much-do-doctors-make/. A cardiologist friend of mine told me that he got an offer from a hospital in Montana that pays $800K+/year.

Just wanted to share what I know about how much the doctors can make in the United States.
Funny how many in the US are loosing their shit over this but then don't understand when Europeans have the same issues with data on US servers and the CLOUD act.
This looks awesome. I'm hoping to start working through it starting some time in the next few weeks.
waaay back hemp was grown for fiber. Hemp for THC can be grown just as cheaply as hemp for fiber. With no meddling it would be very very cheap - $2 a pound or less.
The selected sterile hybrid female plants are smaller than the old hemp used as rope = lower yield, so it will not be as cheap as hemp fiber = $250 per ton. $1 a pound is $2000 per ton, so it will be in that range if totally unregulated.
Thanks for pointing it out, the last word is not yet spoken in this proceeding.

"
SUV drivers face a higher fine for red light violations than drivers of other vehicle types. This is the opinion of the Frankfurt am Main District Court (Amtsgericht) (ruling dated June 3, 2022, Case No. 974 OWi 533 Js-OWi 18474/22). The decision is not yet final.

A woman drove her BMW SUV through a red light at an intersection in Frankfurt. The red phase of the traffic light lasted at that time already longer than 1.1 seconds. An SUV (long: sport utility vehicle) has increased ground clearance compared to normal vehicles.

Due to the special vehicle procurement, the district court now felt compelled in this specific case to increase the standard fine provided for in the fine catalog for this violation. Normally, the catalog provides for a fine of 200 euros - but the woman must now pay 350 euros. The boxy design and the raised front end would increase the risk of injury to other road users, the court said.

Due to the greater abstract danger, the committed red light violation was more serious than in a normal case, the district court said. It based this decision on the objective of Section 37 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), according to which variable light signals - i.e. traffic lights - are intended to protect road users from collisions in the intersection area - and a collision with a larger car such as an SUV poses a higher potential for injury."

Sounds like you're describing the behavior of people who've had too much to drink. Alcohol is already legal.
Okey dokey, then. You don't have to do it.
This is a good question and even as an employee i do not know. The company made a few acquisitions (google them), then there was the huge USA launch where they spent lot of marketing money (super bowl ad, chicago bulls etc.) They also started a lot of projects / markets to see what works.

The sad part is, unlike silicon valley the employee salaries were still quite low, they do not discuss plans with the employees, they only hire juniors and management does not share any numbers / overall plans with the employees. Even after last round of layoffs we were told that all is good. Now, we hear that company is seeking fresh funding after raising more than half a billion last year!
Some years ago I was selling an expensive aquarium on Craigslist, a scammer ‘paid’ me with a fake PayPal payment before asking to come pick it up.

So I convinced him that I was the manager of a Red Lobster restaurant and it was an old lobster tank that we were selling. I told him to show up during business hours and tell the manager he’s there to pick up the lobster tank.

The next day I got some ‘on my way’ texts and then soon after a bunch of swearing at me.

Good times.
It had to be this way. Provinces determine how alcohol and tobacco are sold within their borders; it would have been strange for cannabis distribution to be federally regulated.

Some useful comparisons can indeed be drawn. Quebec launched with a very restrictive distribution model. BC was quite liberal. The latter province has fared much better in terms of squeezing out profits for organized crime. There are virtually no unauthorized cannabis shops in the province and very little black market activity relative to pre-legalization.

Keep distribution straightforward and analogous to how tobacco and alcohol are sold, and keep taxes on cannabis low to cut out profits for the black market.
I don't think so. My wife was 'homeschooled'. Her mother didn't like some of her classes in public school so pulled her out of them, such that she wasn't spending the required amount of time in the public school. Thus, my mother registered her as a homeschooler, so my wife didn't need to be in the classroom.

Of course, the public schools here have to take your child if you drop them off.

My wife is well-socialized, extremely well-educated, and way better off than her peers, so it worked.
>Not all high schoolers are mature enough to be left alone and go to school.

That's insane. I walked to school at 6. At 8, I walked to the bus stop and rode a public transit bus to school. The helicoptering has gone way to far and it is creating generations of crippled kids. I wonder if this is solely caused by the media pushing fear or if there are other factors.
Most phones do that for you anyhow. Unless there are serious defects in the sensor that would probably mean it would fail QA even for bargain bin phones the amount of “AI” post processing that phones do these days is probably sufficient to erase any sensor fingerprint.

Even with DSLRs and RAW files you often don’t get a RAW output from the sensor all of them do their own “color science” magic and other alterations like denoising too even on the rawest of the RAW settings.

RAW files today just mean that the files are uncompressed or the least compressed since there might be some compression/downsampling happening at readout anyhow and that you get a ton of metadata that can be used by a photo editing app to better work with the image.
Most of the helicopter stupidity i see comes from people without kids. As in, you're a terrible parent because you weren't constantly watching your kids and they did something kids do that I don't like.
