I think the main challenge with modular bathrooms integrated into an otherwise traditional build is that you're plonking a finished unit into a rough-and ready site that has no pipes or wiring to connect to yet and people running round laying bricks and lifting in beams... which feels a little premature. You're not going to fit one through the doors of your average existing building either, and the economics of hiring a large crane just for the upstairs bathroom rather than the entire build probably make less sense

It's a bit different when the modules are part of a hotel/apartment block that's entirely built using a modular system. That's common enough in city centre hotels and motels where they're a single full-sized room and nobody can tell the difference.

Who is the target demo? I'm old enough to have had actual newspapers appear on my doorstep. I ever saw anyone mount them on a wall, at least not in a private home. I would think a table/tablet orientation would be more appealing than an awkward wall mount. Is this thing meant to be art, a bit of faux-nostalgia decoration?

Re: "Everyone acts as if Twitter pre-Musk was a well oiled machine that shit the bed overnight after he took over"

I'm one of those "everyones" and I and everyone else I've read on the topic have been pointing out that hardly any web scale platform would fail suddenly. It's been only 6 months. Without the repeated flailing at Musk's insistence, Twitter's remaining engineers probably would not have broken anything important for another 6 months.

Something that bugs me today is the way music education was handled at my school, and probably other schools.

I got to a pretty good technical competence with my trumpet but at the end of the day I could only play what was on the sheets. Maybe some of that is my bad, but I switched to keys after highschool and when I show up to jam, most wind players seem like musical cripples without a lead sheet, and my fakesheets of just chord sequences and important hits are not sufficient for them.

Part of it is just the nature of the Program (wind band is a highly synchronized large group activity and you cant have too much screwing around), but I also think the nature of a wind instrument where you have limited endurance and can only play one note at a time is stunting without proper instruction. Despite having great sense of rhythm and phrasing, I don't think I really understood music until I started getting chord shapes into my hands on the piano and could noodle without worrying about spending my limited endurance.

edited to add: And to be clear I do think the music programs are Good and Valuable. It's an excellent group activity and kids will work on something for months for the big concert. I did not have any other single school project with that kind of runtime and that's a valuable experience on its own.

tldr if your kid likes music dont let them settle for just wind band. Get them a guitar or a piano too. But it's fine to just like the band for what it is, too.

Well, it's the 3D printing culture. When you are printing something nobody printed before, you have to print, test, throw away, print again...

But that works better for some things than others.

IMO, there's nothing stopping house-printers from printing components, so that you can only partially replace them. There is also nothing stopping projects from having repairability and some flexibility builtin; in fact, for example printed walls can have holes for every kind of wiring, and let the routing free, in a way that brick walls can't. Also, they don't need to only extrude concrete.

But anyway, none of that will happen any soon. The 3D printing culture is about prototyping, throwing again, prototyping again.
I became a dev in (at least how I saw it) the age of breadth being more valuable than depth.

My work Mac provided by my company disables iCloud, which is fine by me, as I never wanted or intended to do things like check text messages or listen to music on my work laptop anyway. I do sometimes listen to music while working, but usually I stream that from my television, as the home theater sound system is far better than what I'd get from a laptop.

Heck, I don't even check Hacker News or sign into the browser from my work machine. Laptops are lightweight. I just keep two nearby so I can work from one and goof off using the other.
I am not sure how to feel about this. The drug costs $27k a year.

"In studies reviewed by the FDA, Leqembi appeared to slow declines in memory and thinking by about 27% after 18 months of treatment. It also dramatically reduced the sticky beta-amyloid plaques that tend to build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's."

There are life-threatening side effects. Although, the diseases is awful itself and I would probably choose death.

However, this drug had an accelerated approval. This makes me a bit uneasy. It signals to drug companies that they can pick any terminal illness, develop a drug for it, show minimal efficacy, and get quick approval even if the side effects are deadly. In the end they profit.

Will this lead to more drugs? Faster scientific research? Or higher profits for the drug companies?
Before COVID, but especially during/after, there is also loyalty to consider. You need 18 yards of concrete by 8am. You go to the depot, and there's not enough concrete to go around.

If you've stuck around and dealt with the ups and downs with the same guy, you're getting your concrete. If you're the kind of guy that shops around, you're not getting concrete.

These relationships are highly personal.

It’s impossible to solve with immigration. Even with an immigrant population that was completely willing and able to assimilate (unlike those in question), that process takes generations and requires a lack of ethnic ghettos and a high proportion of native and nativized people relative to immigrants. No honest person would say that we could solve Japan’s falling birthrate by rapidly and continually pumping it full of Europeans and expect it to remain recognizably Japanese.

But anyway population fluctuates. These things tend to work themselves out normally when your main goal is the good of the nation and not just inflating the GDP as quickly and recklessly as possible.

What causes Alzheimers? Is it beta-amyloids or something else? They have seen some improvements by removing them but the science isn't really clear. Ultimately some benefit is good but we have also seen the cost of these drugs and it's very expensive for little hope.

I think the approval is just that, approving something that has some therapeutic benefit that outweighs the negatives. And something that moves the needle is better than nothing.
I have Also heard of https://www.14trees.com/ and terran robotics doing this...

Edit: I imagine though, that in locations where building is regulated under the international residential code. There has been less investment, it only in the last few years added an appendix for mud/cob construction... So you can add regulatory cost on top of the actual robotics involved.
I think you still need something to incentivise the best teachers to voluntarily sign up for the lowest performing classes. Obviously its way more prestigious to be the teacher with all the ivy league destined students than the teacher whose students are just trying to get set up for a community college or a blue collar apprenticeship. [This is not to say the latter cohort is less intelligent, capable, or important-- just less prestigious.]

Interesting. It seems Japan is subsidizing jobs that are paid too little and no one wants to take at those wages, while employers cannot afford higher rates. That does indeed seem like a great idea, considering they seem to have a rather fair progressive income tax system (5% - 45%).

> the real problem is the investor class snapping up the housing supply.

I don’t understand why this narrative keeps popping up. Institutions own a very small percentage of homes in the US. They much prefer to own apartments, which is the most effective way of increasing the available shelter.

I understand that it’s convenient to blame the wealthy… but don’t you think homes are expensive because of 0% interest rates over the last decade?!

Have you read into that situation?

The Sackler family got the bankruptcy judge to give them and all of their companies personal immunity from a situation because the corporation was going bankrupt.

Why can a bankruptcy proceeding for one entity shield another entity from being sued?

If that entity was protected by an LLC shield such protection wouldn't be needed by the bankruptcy court.

This isn't about piercing the viel or about avoiding bankruptcy. This is about bankruptcy of one entity somehow protecting theoretically unrelated entities.

After all as you mentioned they should be shielded by the viel already, why give them explicit immunity?

Are Widgets Cool Again?
I'm convinced that website widgets are cool again. Back then, widgets were these sort-of janky modules you'd add to a site to get some repeatable functionality. Social buttons, comments, etc. Then they went away when every site was trying to be in-brand through and through.

Nowadays, I think they're back. They've just branded to "embedded apps", and have much more features (and integrations) than before.
In general, exams measure peak performance. Grades measure sustained performance.

The literature is quite extensive that although standardized tests have substantial predictive power as to college performance, adding grades and other factors is substantially better. Eg https://news.uchicago.edu/story/test-scores-dont-stack-gpas-... and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6963451/

You assert without evidence that testing is unbiased. This is widely disputed. You will find some literature taking the opposite view, of course, but given that the debate rages among professional researchers, a plain assertion doesnt carry all that much weight.

Yes, but I think their printer design could be improved.

I would go for the printer being far less weight by making the whole thing a cable truss and winch structure. That should cut the hardware cost in half or better, like the way a travelling circus tent can be assembled entirely without a crane, yet packs into a tiny box. The downside is you can no longer assume a rigid structure, so you need cameras and alignment marks for precise positioning - but you probably needed them anyway. You also can't make any accelerations above 1G, but that should be fine for housebuilding.

And obviously, their design only makes the walls, but I would want to do foundations, roof, insulation, plumbing and electricals all with the same machine.

"Proactive parents will typically want their children in good schools, regardless of their child's behavioural history"

Why wouldn't this apply to private schools especially because in that situation parent's have financial leverage?

Edit
Another comment said that private schools have an incentive to provide a good service otherwise people will take their money and leave. I want to temper my statment about parent's changing schools because

1. Unlike grocery stores or gas stations how many schools would be within reasonable distance where a parent could easily change.

2. "Customers take their money and leave" doesn't seem to happen that often with every other business. It's a constant theme here where we complain about the general public continuing to use substandard products. Yes it's a serious product (child's education) but factor in my points.

3. Changing schools could be traumatic for a child because they made friends, comfortable with teachers, familiar with the school. School isn't where you buy gas or go to the gym. Children are young AND emotional, stability is probably ideal. This means parents don't have as much leverage as I first stated

4. What metric do parents use? Grades, bullying?

If grades schools will have a financial incentive to inflate more than public schools. Public schools and private both have standardized tests, however a report card from a private school is a subjective judgements from the teacher that the parent will use as a metric

If bullying and a parent complains once should the other child be expelled? How does this system work? What if there are no witnesses,
bully denies it. What about verbal abuse, what if no one hears it?

If private schools start expelling bullies why aren't they required to teach children like public schools. Charter schools are supposed to be about a parents choice why should a child, bully or not, have less rights especially since they receive public money.
I don't think you understand: poor women have never been able to afford to be a stay at home mother. Stay at home motherhood has always been a middle class and above lifestyle. Wealthier women employ the nannies and maids that are obviously overwhelmingly women who aren't at home.

I wouldn't attribute a lack of home stability to women empowerment. A lack of home stability is often caused by poverty. A poor mother cannot afford not to work, cannot afford suitable environments to raise her children while she works, and must make difficult decisions regarding proper nourishment/safe place to sleep/access to utilities/physical presence.
The approach to this is a half baked idea and an unforced error. If I were contributing to another distro, I would say I was building a general differential privacy and zk-snark library and accompanying services stack that developers could use for what they found interesting. Then once it had some burn in, I'd launch a limited beta where it was trustworthy enough that participants could get useful data from the rest of the clusters without exposing the other participants to risk.

Maybe we need a particapatory privacy stack that produces valuable anonymous data and also contributes to it. You might be able to do it with homomorphic arithmetic that increments defined counters (like the hash of a package or version), and we already have distributed ledgers for collecting and distributing the data. We can do queries with differential privacy, and zksnarks.

It's not a viable product because people who actually use data want the real data, the discretion is power to them, but as a tool for coordinating a cooperative effort, we need to build something new to say that this is how we do things now.

Now this generation has kids as well, and will continue this echo chamber and a race to bottom while claiming it's all the fault of the country they live in.
