A recent economist article explains it well:

>Since the 1950s Americans have been moving away from cities to sprawling suburbs with limited public transport. Families became car-dependent and buses were used to get pupils to school. But to save money schools often have to share bus fleets. High-schoolers are usually picked up first, then middle school, to prevent elementary pupils from waiting in the morning darkness.

why do you expect the typical recipient that can live off $7/week to do KYC, and then accept a new Ethereum based coin to survive?

why not skip the crypto bits and give $365/yr to people who need it?

This doesn't work as an explanation, lenses are always cut to the frame.

My brother in law owned a lens cutting shop and they have boxes filled with lenses ground to all sorts of prescriptions that are circular plugs 3 or 4 inches in diameter. When the order comes in they use the pupil measurements and the frames to cut the lenses for the prescription down to fit into the frame.

It's customary even for BigCos to make an offer to buy the domain first.

It's worth pointing out that the recent Supreme Court case [1] may have changed this back to what large corporations and Republicans have wanted; the precendent that the case sets may then enable Republicans to dismantle the rest of the agencies you mentioned [2]

Dollar is getting stronger because other countries either had similar irresponsible policies or are a shitstorm for different reasons. All things considered, the US, with its world-dominating and extremely robust economy, is the safest bet for weathering the storm, and so the whole world buys dollars to invest in the US.
> the law automatically can be invalidated by a court.

There are three parts to the law:

1. The legislature must draft the law

2. The executives must enforce the law.

3. The judicial must punish for breaking the law.

If (2) never happens, then it never gets to (3). And courts can "invalidate" a law: jury nullification.

This so much. I've met quite a few homeschooled children and almost without fail they lack some pretty fundamental social skills. Things like an apparent inability to interact with children of their own age, or behaving obnoxiously to others in ways that would be rapidly stamped out by peers.
Why is this the case though?

Take coffee for instance, it's widely grown in South America--is most of the production run by cartels?

Or is it just that cannabis is a high-value crop, and it's easier to move the produce around the USA from within, rather than having to smuggle it over the border?

And if cannabis is a high-value crop, is it because not all states have 'legalised' it?

What if the whole world legalised cannabis, would it become like coffee?

> and telling someone "you're too sensitive" is probably not helping them grow into a more secure person with a healthier level of sensitivity.

I fundamentally don't agree with that. That's not the way I want other people to treat me, so that's not the way I treat other people. If I have a problem with getting bullying and pressuring into doing something I don't like, I would rather have somebody set my priorities straight by telling me to ignore the haters. Offering me a shoulder to cry on won't help me. That's a superficial sort of kindness, like not washing a wound because it would be painful, choosing instead to let the wound fester.
Plenty of oil yet to get. The constraint is limited capacity.

We only have radical politicians to thank for that underinvestment by private companies.

None of these are banned. They simply choose to not operate in China, because the laws require them hand over user data. So they choose to monopolize those data themselves, which is allowed in US and so called "free" nations. Go figure how ridiculous that is.
Before using V I had a similar concern. However I then looked at Go and see it has 7.5k issues on GitHub. Granted much bigger user base = more stuff uncovered.... So for right or wrong, 7.5k issues in 100K stars versus 750 issues on 30k stars... It doesn't look so crazy suddenly. Personally I like to see issues as it means people are actually using the language, finding bugs, and driving incremental improvement.

A project with 0 issues barely indicates flawless implementation no more than the possibility it simply has 0 users.

Recurve is a climate innovator that quantifies and rewards the actions of a huge variety of companies that are able to reduce or shift commercial and residential energy demand during periods of high cost and carbon-intensity.

Dominant industry paradigms for managing energy demand poorly align and poorly target incentives for reaching the scale we need to make a dent in our climate problems. We are fixing this by opening up energy data, rewarding strong performers, and reducing barriers to market entry.

We are a growing team of skilled technologists and thoughtful innovators. We are proud of our positive company culture and invite candidates who will add to our culture. We closed our Series B funding round earlier this year.

Come help us build out our open source energy modeling software and internal data modeling pipelines!

I can't imagine it going any better than Russia's invasion. Taiwan is all mountains, there's a sea in between with 13 beaches where they can land and China's military has no experience whatsoever. It would literally be shooting fish in a barrel for the Taiwanese army.
we have "life insurance" (that pays on death), and "pension plans" that trickles money to your account until you eventually die. But the terms "death insurance" and "life insurance" (in French) make so much sense! Those are how I will call them from now on, no matter how telemarketers who call me name them.
Those are also the most likely to face abuse like bullying in a school environment.
>I think you're confused as to the point of school

Actually, I think we're both wrong. During the time in my local PTA what stood out to me was the amount of time and money we spent on providing basic social services to kids - think providing meals, clothes, filtering for home and family problems etc. I would argue that in modern America, public schools are there to provide day care for working parents and to provide a modicum of social services, with education being an overarching hope and dream.
That is something that has bugged me. I have a leak in my car's AC. I have injected the dye, found where the leak is. All I have left is to open the system and replace some old seals, but I can't do that right as the equipment isn't available. So I'm stuck venting to the air as it is the only thing I can do. (I could of course take it in, but some combination of cheap and doing my own maintenance means I don't)

Note that the vacuum pump is often a free rental from the auto parts store, I don't know why they can't/don't rent the recovery equipment.

I suspect it is cheaper these days to get Android devs than Qt/C++/Embedded Linux devs and can't help wonder if this is their big cost cutting decision.

I wonder what this means for their Qt/QML teams and a lot of their middleware from Genivi: https://www.genivi.org/ (Interestingly, the website seems to be down for me).
The reserves are high, but the energy required to extract them are increasingly costly. Shale oil extraction requires about 25% of the energy extracted. Same goes for Venezuela's gargantuan reserves: higher volume than Saudi Arabia, but the lowest quality; almost entirely asphalt-like. You have to expend large amounts of energy to heat it so that it becomes liquid and can go into a pipe.

And peak oil is very real. Earth is desperately still 13k km in diameter, in the face of economic growth that has been exponential for the last 200 years. At some point some limits are going to be reached; and the author thinks we're not that far from them.
I've had 3 folks respond now that "hey, people knew these bubbles were coming", so apologies that my original point wasn't clear.

I wholeheartedly agree that some people saw the crashes coming, and honestly, I don't even think they were that hard to spot. I'm a pretty big fan of Jeremy Grantham, who considers himself a "bubble historian", who points out that while the timing of when bubbles pop is almost impossible to determine, the fact that one sector is in a bubble is not.

But that said, my point is that the institutional powers that be were very quiet, or in many cases actively argued against the possibility of a recession, in both the .com and Great Recession cases. In the present day the exact opposite appears to be happening. The seats of institutional power (central bankers, execs of large corporations, rich VCs, etc.) have been talking about the sky falling for a while now. That is what is really different.

Yes, this contradicts everything I thought have learned. Without any credible sources I have to assume the whole article is bogus.

I am annoyed he portrays the professionals as idiots that did not see things coming, but I remember professionals making clear that the current inflation is partly 'real' inflation and partly inflation due to post-covid/Russian agression/.. developments. So rent hikes are still justified for that first part of inflation.
100% agree. I am in touch with exactly 1 (yes 1) friend from elementary / middle school. If I stretch, I can say that there are 3 that I would actually want to talk to beyond this guy.

I am a silicon valley executive making mid six figures. They're ... not, and not because they didn't have the same opportunities. Because of terrible life choices that I could easily have made myself, but, by the grace of God, did not. Amongst my classmates there's premarital pregnancies, domestic violence, lots of unemployment, prison time, etc.

The same is true of my brother and sister-in-law. She comes from an extremely poor family, but managed to make something of herself by going into accounting. Yet, her family is filled with pre-marital pregnancy, deadbeat men, and even some violence. This stuff also existed in her schools. She managed to escape by keeping her head down and avoiding trouble.

Honestly, any of us could have ended up in this 'socialized' group, but didn't. That was because we resisted peer pressure. All of us were extremely awkward kids. You'd consider us poorly socialized. Yet, we've 'made it', and the popular kids didn't.

Of course, then I think of my now-wife, who grew up in much more privilege than we did. Her parents were highly educated (post-graduate) and were extremely deliberate in her schooling, her peer group, etc. While not technically homeschooling, my mother in law carefully crafted my wife's friend group and even took her out of classes if she didn't like the kids or thought the teacher was bad. She didn't have to put up with half the crap my brother, myself, or my sister-in-law had to put up with.

I'm choosing the latter method for our kids, even if that means homeschooling them and using the public schools as a backup.

EDIT: since I've seen religion come up here. My mother-in-law was and is a staunch atheist. My parents and sister-in-laws family are devoutly religious. Not all homeschoolers are religious. While I am religious, that is not the reason we are considering home schooling our daughters

The problem with that approach is the debate tends to be led by football parents who want to make sure there’s ample time for the kids to beat each other senseless on the field. Literally, that’s the argument we got in Fairfax County when similar proposals were floated.
It's basically price-controls.

A regulatory body looks at how much something "should" cost based on its history of reimbursement and the cost of its inputs and then sets a cap of say, cost + 20%.

The problem is having an independent body that is free of influence of health insurance companies and hospitals, both of which have perverse incentives to continue profiteering.

A theory which would be more convincing except that [i] saying they're from Nigeria also filters out all the gullible people with spam filters, and yet despite spam filters now preventing the majority of gullible people from responding, the scripts haven't changed [ii] the more straightforward explanation is that they say they're from Nigeria because their ultimate objective is getting you to send money to Nigeria...

Ultimately if you're in the business of spamming people on the other side of the world in the hope that 0.001% of them will ultimately send a money transfer worth a month's wages in local currency, your time probably isn't so valuable you can't afford to deal with everyone that replies

Why did you not quote the next paragraph from the post?

> *We’ve automated most of that process to ensure it’s efficient and scalable*. Every time our cars detect changes on the road, they automatically upload the data, which gets shared with the rest of the fleet after, in some cases, being additionally checked by our mapping team.

They are literally saying they've automated most of that process and that was 2 years ago. That's completely opposite to what you are claiming. If you don't want to believe they can do it, suit yourself.
Online behavior is not the cause. It might be an aggravating factor, but teenagers have been sleep deprived for a lot longer than the internet has been around [1]. If we want to talk personal anecdotes, I definitely never slept enough as a teenager despite not having internet access at that point. I'd be up reading books and stuff like that.

There are a lot of factors that go into adolescents not getting enough sleep, and it's pretty clear that early school start times are one of them: and one that can be controlled.

Also I think suggesting that parents can take responsibility for the bed time of their teenagers is more than a little unrealistic.

One of the hardest times in my life was being 14 and absolutely exhausted in school. I also added to it by signing up for an early morning workout class. That combined with a dose of adderall each day had me absolutely tired and wired. I got hurt 3x in football and it just sent me into a spiral.

All that to say, glad to know that future generations of high schools will be getting more rest.
Always hilarious watching the anti-west crowd come here with their "look at your imprisonment statistics!" as if their countries would do any different if they had the same demographic groups as America did. If anything they would treat them worse, you certainly won't find as many people in Russia or China willing to excuse criminals as you do here in more progressive parts of America.
Do you think this can have med to long term effect on revenues earnings and so stocks?
I added "unmoderated" because comment sections that are entirely pre-moderated by a human who cares aren't that bad (it's just way too much work to do so for any site that is at all well known).
In many European cities all public school students use the existing public transit (buses, trams, subway). Very young children are typically dropped off and picked up by a parent, but beyond second grade they are usually traveling with their peers.
Movies aren’t the right comparison; they’re efficient.

Video games operate more like TV — with lots of filler that you don’t want but can put up with, and can’t really skip because there’s probably something notable interspersed (intentionally, to make it unskippable).

Honestly I’ve found that I can extract the vast majority of value from most single player games in a few hours (core mechanics and their interrelationships, anything interesting from the setting/world building/themes, aesthetic design, etc); some games can keep on trucking… but most of them are far longer than they are valuable.
I should point out the obvious:

1) Yes, the increase of fees is legal (see note 2) in Germany

2) Yes, the driver could appeal and reinstate the baseline 200-euro penalty

3) No, it doesn't (automatically) make a precedent (but may be considered by other judges on future cases). This is not the US where precedents are a widely-held convention.
