This study is specifically about extending compulsory schooling to age 14, 15, and 16. People are literate and can work with numbers by 13.

If the benefit of high school is "raising the baseline just a little", we should ask ourselves whether "just a little" benefit justifies the cost. Education is not free, so it needs to move the needle.

One way to measure the benefit is to look at outcomes of interest after long time has passed, so this study did that. There was no effect, casting doubt to earlier studies that found large effects. One strength of this study is that they work with complete data, unlike previous studies which mostly worked with sampled panels. This suggests sampling bias as a mechanism to explain previous studies.

That's an engineer.
You suggested that personal choice was just a distraction from policy-making, but one of your own examples, cigarettes, shows otherwise.

Personal choice works.
Still horrible to browse and find older posts.
Looks moderately impressive. But I'd describe it more as 'Pixar style' than generic 'cartoon style'. Which you may like. But I, personally, find very lifeless, bland and 'samey'.

A bit like the cartoon version of the uncanny valley.
Ultium uses pretty standard high nickel batteries. You wont find a huge difference in cobalt content between the major battery producers. Pretty much all of them are pushing cobalt out of their high nickel cathodes but nobody has really managed that yet.
If you are truly concerned about network costs, I'd recommend rendering an XML model on the server and using a cached extensible stylesheet (XSLT) to render your HTML on the fly, on the client.
Why not just go for a run? You don't need to "get directions" or "track speed"... you're running not driving. If someone calls you when you're out running, call them back when you get home!
AMD is probably a better bet with ROCm although it's still pretty spotty right now in regards to support.
ZFS wasn’t just new when FreeBSD 6 was released, ZFS wasn’t even released itself. :P

FreeBSD 7 was the first release to support ZFS and even in that it was marked as experimental support.

So if you were using ZFS before FreeBSD 8, and especially somehow on 6 and below, then you’re very much using ZFS at your own risk and can’t really complain if things go sideways.
I like the idea of Papers, Please more than actually playing it, I think. But I never played Helsing’s Fire, thanks for the suggestion!
No opt out of all option on the gdpr nonsense.
He signed a binding acquisition agreement in a $44 billion dollar deal without doing any due diligence. Bigger deals have been struck on similar timeframes, but rarely has the purchaser evidenced such obvious buyer’s remorse so quickly afterward, or embarked on the venture with as little thought as he put toward it.

That’s a pretty weighty fact on the scale of “Musk - canny businessperson, or remarkable streak of being in the right place at the right time.”
Debunked the causality hypothesis meaning that probably saturated fat intake, after going down on average, no longer correlates with coronary disease? Could you ELI5 that? I'm not familiar with the research or the claims.
How much can you be certain that your Boeing job was not the reason for your high performance, and that you are not just projecting your current self and state on mind onto your past? You are nothing like yoursef 40 year ago, to say something useless your atoms have changed 5 times over, and to say something useful you have definitely rewired your brain in many more ways. Anecdotal stories like yours are valuable, but only to you, that's why people do studies as you are of course very well aware. It could well be that the number one predictor for success is "intelligence" whatever that means, I offer the definition "to be able to absorb new information quickly and retain it and connect it to existing information to form new insights" so maybe Caltech was just a place where all such people went to and the teachers were like that so it felt "smart" and the format of the exam (open book) basically didmt really help but only enabled i.e did
not actively stop the flourisment of intelligence
in the students? Caltech might be good but there are many good places (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT e.g) so my untested theory could explain all of their successes. And then you went to Boeing and actually did things and that showed you how to be an enginner who made planes and your high intelligence allowed you to absorb that info quicker again and your are just projecting this future expert on a college intelligent but not expert self?
Just my 2 cents
> seems a bit of a little odd for the computer camera point directly at the operator to be the greatest concern and mandated to be covered.

People who are working remotely, especially from home, are often in control of everything except their work laptop. The camera pointed right at you is poised to capture extremely private and intimate moments, because you don't _expect_ it to be on. But there's a precident of laptops owned by third-parties spying on their users.

It's especially problematic when those users are children. E.g.

There are really 2 tiers of semiconductor manufacturing, and for the advanced nodes Taiwans TSMC is in the lead with Samsung close behind, and Intel is lagging. The less advanced (aka older, larger) nodes manufacturing capability are more spread out.
The blog post was a blast to read and even better, it served as a great trailer for the game. Bought it immediately after reading. I wish more game devs wrote blog posts like this.
Damn. Thanks. I even tried verifying the link and it seemed to go to the right place.

Saw your reply too late to edit.
Not all security measures are logical or affective. They are compulsory though.
Because it is elitist. As someone who did both I have no irrational disdain for trade school because the curriculum of the trade school is almost entirely job relevant with very little signalling. Only elites appreciate the difference between signalling and not signalling.
Definitely agree with this. They achieve a form of dynamic animation sometimes, where the continuous scroll can "lead" objects on the screen into new scenes which can be really cool. I'd recommend the previous poster to read a couple of episodes, one example I found really cool was this one https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/not-even-bones/ep-1/vie...

Works best on the phone where you can have it fullscreen and smooth scrolling.
I've seen a lot of compliance tests for credit card processing. These frequently will be Excel sheets with series of test descriptions. For example "Run a $12.45 sale on card number XXXXX with a tax amount of $1.73 and a shipping address of 1234 Main Street, 70242." Inevitably the card numbers are rounded. If you paste in a timestamp for the transaction result, that gets cast weirdly. I end up reworking the default formats for the sheet so that things will not be clobbered.
I maintain a set of mind modes which I can 'slip into' while doing anything. These are abstract ideas which help me remember how I felt when something worked for me and I find myself subconsciously repeating most of them periodically.

I name them in odd ways that appeal to me but they are commonly known ideas.

I take a few minutes to mentally prepare myself and accept this mental state, and try to sustain it for a few hours at least if it's working, otherwise switch to something else.

A few examples are -

* Numb & dumb (to be numb to stimuli and dumb in action and keep moving forward with task at hand) - This helps me remember not to be nitpicky about small details, to ignore minor distractions and just do the damn task at hand. In short, to suppress procrastination.

* Plan & Execute (Do not make a single move without a plan) - Helps me think before I act, on certain days when I am overwhelmed and have a tendency to suffer with decision paralysis.
By timespan do you mean the time that they remain in a Paleo diet? Or did you mean lifespan?
I posted below but I will post a direct reply. Modern phone-first comics simply don't follow the 'grid' and it works really well. Check this one out https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/not-even-bones/ep-1/vie... for a cool example.
And iOS with Firefox Focus
I have a food thermometer with a builtin rechargeable battery. It charges via usb-c, but so far I have not managed to charge it from a usb-c charger. It will only charge with the supplied usb-a to usb-c cable. I would love to understand why. But at least, they had the good sense to not supply their own charger.
I can't tell if this is real. They shouldn't do this but they technically could do so.
My heart bleeds for him. He’s achieved tremendous success in a remarkably successfully economy based on dynamism and the rule of law, and now he’s asked to do his part, under oath, to maintain that system. Doesn’t he know that part is for chimps?*

Thanks, I searched the play store for both "papers please" and "papers, please" which didn't yield any meaningful results. If I hadn't have read this comment I would have (lazily) assumed it was iOS only.

Play store says there have been 4000 downloads so at least some people are getting to that page, but probably through direct links rather than search
"Parking lot operators, the choice is yours: build solar over it or build a building over it. Fill'er up."
Those fabs are a fairly significant part of the whole situation.

China wants them because they have those sweet ASML EUV machines that they are sanctioned from buying.

The US needs those fabs to stay controlled by Taiwan because they don’t want the world’s most advanced contract fab to be overseen by a hostile country.

Taiwan needs those fabs because it makes them important for the US to defend. And because those fabs are so important to everyone to who wants high end chips, just having them is a good defense.
There was some research that claimed that the increase of lifespan gained by eating vegetables was negated by the increased intake of pesticides. In fact, it suggested a net negative.
I try to buy everything with no battery feature...never miss it...the bother of recharging and dead batteries is bigger than the bother of the cable.
> Bare minimum to not get fired and doing what is expected of you are different things.

They literally hammer into your head for months on end that employees will do the absolute bare minimum not to get fired in every MBA program.

Ordinary pay gets ordinary effort. And businesses always want the cheapest supplier.

I'm a bit confused at why people are saying it isn't updated, as its now a paid Stardock product (officially licensed, according to Sean Werkema's resume):

https://www.stardock.com/products/spacemonger/

The Stardock version 3.0 Build 1711 is from 2018, so that is a while since the last update and there's still no HiDPI. There's also a bug where it interprets 0-byte placeholder files as 8GB giants. But 2018 seems to be a newer update than what people here are suggesting.

But v3 isn't free, and I've not tried the old freeware / open source version, so I don't know if newer actually means "better".
Best part is that if Musk loses and the court enforces specific performance, he just bought a company that just paid for all those lawyers to fight him out of the company treasury!
Physical punishment is cruel at any level. When does it become ok to intentionally harm another creature? Why is 'they don't understand' applicable to animals that are not also humans, we are judged by those of us we treated the poorliest.

Much could be resolved by attacking the lack of goal based outcomes from the criminal system. Perhaps influenced by punishment culture in American.

Most state funded institutions are incentivized to produce good outcomes or lose control of their funding and eventually employment.

The same should apply to the prison system. Shut them down, reorganize. Repeat until we achieve desired affected.

America has become a no nothing culture. Watch agape, engagingly discuss, wait until next distraction.

There is no problem America cannot ignore if they work together. Paradoxically, there is no problem America can work together to solve.
For me the Sabbath is a recompile with bug fixes. When I'm GCing every night, at least someone can ring me in an emergency. The phone is off for Sabbath.

And I'm not joking about the bugfixes. A day off of _everything_ is a great way to reflect on the past six days, and to learn from them. I'm certain that my ostensibly-six-day-week is more productive than my seven-day-week ever was.
My goal isn't to know when I'm being spied on, it is to avoid being spied on at all :)

That sounds interesting. I have 0 experience with nix, could you explain what's the difference with doing `cargo new <name>`? What extra benefits do you get?

Thanks!
> these laws generally have exceptions for things where it makes sense. They aren't cooked up overnight in isolation and aren't the oneliner that you read online. I would expect that your mentioned exceptional example probably has an exception cases defined for it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As is usually the case with legislation, the text of the law will support whatever reading you'd like to assign to it. If you're a booster for the legislation, you are free to claim that it doesn't have any problems. If you're not, there are some readily observable problems.

The text is here ( https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL... ), and here are the relevant parts:

> [definition] (23) ‘appliance’ means any electrical or electronic equipment, as defined by Directive 2012/19/EU, which is fully or partly powered by a battery or is capable of being so

> Article 11

> 1. Portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by the end-user or by independent operators during the lifetime of the appliance, if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance, or at the latest at the end of the lifetime of the appliance.

> A battery is readily replaceable where, after its removal from an appliance, it can be substituted by a similar battery, without affecting the functioning or the performance of that appliance.

> 2. The obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall not apply where

> (a) continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the appliance and the portable battery is required for safety, performance, medical or data integrity reasons; or

> (b) the functioning of the battery is only possible when the battery is integrated into the structure of the appliance.

> 3. The Commission shall adopt guidance to facilitate harmonised application of the derogations set out in paragraph 2.

So the law literally says "(1) all appliances must use removable, replaceable batteries, UNLESS (2) that would be bad, AND (3) we promise we will eventually set a standard for when it would or wouldn't be bad". But that hypothetical future standard is not part of the law. And we can't honestly say that "don't do something, unless you have a good reason" is a law that can actually be implemented. It will misidentify bad reasons as good reasons while punishing good reasons.

It's scheme. I assume you can macro that repetition away if you really want to.
Worse actually, there is no physical indicator LED on the latest (M1) laptops, it's an indicator icon in the menu bar.

In the "better" category, Apple claims webcam access is controlled by the secure enclave processor, which is more than most manufacturers do.
I would not even follow these 4 recommendations without a ton of evidence. Yes, they "make sense" because that's what we've been taught since we were children, but are these behaviors good compared to doing nothing?
I can’t speak for everyone, but one of the reasons I use Arch is precisely because Debian doesn’t have as many resources/assets as Arch.

AUR may not be perfect but there is very little software out there that someone hasn’t already packaged in it and it’s a great deal more convenient to use than faffing with custom repos.

The Arch Wiki is second to none too. I’ve even occasionally found myself using it when debugging other Linuxes.

I definitely wouldn’t use Arch on a server though. I mean, I have done, multiple times in fact, but they’ve always been personal systems. I much prefer FreeBSD for servers. Professionally it has usually been Debian, CentOS, or, much more recently, Ubuntu Server (but I really don’t like Ubuntu Server. Or Desktop for that matter).

Disclaimer: this is all my own opinion and I’m not trying to pass any of it off as fact.
If that were the case then either we wouldn't have such an advanced and we'll educated society today or that previous generations and societies were just as capable with less formal education.

When I hear people like you I always wonder how the human race is supposed to be doomed by a lack of intelligent people, yet somehow throughout history no such constraints are observable.

In the past people had lots of preconceptions of what black people couldn't do, you're doing the same and believing it is socially acceptable. The human brain is amazing, just because someone's brain scores worse than another in some motivation and culture test doesn't mean they are incapable of absurdly broad and vague things like "advanced concepts".
One thing I've noticed about 'terminal online' is that people vastly underestimate how much it affects them. Myself included.

It seems if I ever call out a loved one, whether my brother or wife or friend, for being on their phone too much, they immediately get defensive and argue they were just doing some one task. Even if this was initiated after them being zoned out for an hour or longer. And I've done the same when reading something super interesting and getting lost in time.

Honestly, it doesn't seem much different than how addicts act in an intervention. We need to realize that this is an addiction, label and treat it appropriately.

My wife finally relented when our kid asked me to do something while I was working because 'mom is too busy with Facebook again.' I think that really hurt her feelings, even if she never admitted as much.
I guess most of these are syntax sugar or quality of life stuff.

Gdscript is a lightweight language, it wants to be fast. They explain the goal of the language in their doc and why they didn't use something else.
>Apple learned that having products with planned obsolescence was bad for business and just stopped doing it.

This is False.

Apple is one of the companies that completely buys into planned obsolescence. They never stopped doing it. They still do it and they practically invented it for iphones and ipads.

If other phone companies are doing planned obsolescence then they most likely learned it from apple. Apple is one of the leaders of this concept.

>So what about those companies that still include planned obsolescence? You need to vote with your money. Simply don’t buy their product.

This doesn't account for how humans are irrational. Tons of irrational people buy shit without knowing their part of an irrational obsolescence cycle (aka you). For example, back in the day, apple shortened the lifetime of their phones by not allowing the battery to be replaced. Yet people still buy apple phones EVEN when OTHER companies offered phones with replaceable batteries.

Now the entire industry glues their batteries inside the phone. Apple is paving the way for planned obsolescence and irrational consumers buy in without ever realizing it. Consumers vote with their money the same way they voted for Trump.

>If you do, if you’re fooled twice, that’s on you.

If you buy apple products and you think they don't do planned obsolescence. Jokes on you.
Two words: gig economy. Or put another way: shite.
Yeah the project where we are going to use it consumers will do different products with the same data.

So I’m curious to see how this will we actually implemented.

(We also have Kafka topics where you can consume all the sources in your storage but that gives other problems so I’m not completely negative on giving a single point where you can aggregate data)

The article does not talk about creating your own Javascript engine (ie v8, JavaScript Core, Spidermonkey).
The actual article title is "Roll your own JavaScript runtime", which is more accurate.

This seems to misunderstand the context. Previous poster was saying that with enough renewables hundreds or thousands of miles apart, there will always be enough power generation capacity.

The response was around how the newest transmission technology isn't so lossy. But that would mean we'd have to replace all transmission lines.

This doesn't apply to nuclear because it doesn't rely on generation potentially coming from 500 miles away to make it work.
It's a bit sad, that "To get there, we plan to:" section consists only of marketing efforts, not R&D
If it actually worked that way, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we?

I may have not done all my home works on the matter but how’s that different from exposing an OpenAPI that your client can consume and generate all needed classes etc… on top of that?
> This is called planned obsolescence

No kidding. It's only mentioned several times in the article.
Why do people not care about a bureaucrats preconceived notions of science, maths and technology?
It doesn't boggle anyone's mind.
the article you linked says it was moments after take-off, so it's maybe less surprising that the wing would be near the ground
You should start a blog: this is the quantitavely different level of cynism. The image of "demonic parasites" needs some refiniment, though. Those rich parasites are the ten priests of the temple, if I may use an old allegory, the priests of power, lust, greed, hatred, envy and so on, and they derive their strength from the darkness of the inner shrine where the demon of ignorance dwells. The demon wants to rule directly, but the masses aren't ready to abandon the reason yet, hence the need for the ten priests.
This definitely happens all the time, I get packages whose boxes have obviously been opened before all the time.

People double-dipping amazon products and saying they never got the package (or it was stolen) has been going on forever.
But it’s not always recording, and few people use a camera cover.
I’m indeed, a generative hobbyist, playing with tools like GANs or MidJourney, Dalle, stable diffusion. Thanks for the list suggestions, they are useful. To be specific, I heard of dalle dictionary and dalle gallery (link on Twitter).

I write a web script that helps with prompt engineering like: ‘Monet painting of Bart Simpson floating in the ocean’, some dropdowns would appear under Monet, Painting, Bart Simpson and possibly the action too: floating in the ocean, with alternative or close attributes like other painter, other format, other character, other action. I don’t have credits on GPT3 anymore so I look for an alternative for the language model :-D
