Definite red flag any time there is an attempt to compare completely different people. Of course the down syndrome kids are going to struggle more in school and, for the same reason, also struggle more in the workplace. There is nothing to suggest that graduating from college will cure their down syndrome, however.

Since college attainment has risen over time, a better look is to see how incomes, adjusted for inflation, have increased over time. The spectrum of people observed over generations, while not totally perfect either, is more comparable. We have always had superstars and down syndrome kids.

If college graduates are making more money, more college graduates means we should see a rise in average incomes. It would appear that a 378% increase in educational attainment[1] since the 1960s brought a 17% increase in average incomes[2]. Maybe there is something to it.

But... We can also see that in the 90s, incomes actually went down as compared to the 1960s, despite still having a sizeably larger group of college graduates. This suggests that, on average, incomes are as good as stagnant and that college graduates are not earning more than they would have had they not gone to college.

Barely any of the older Linux binary-only games I have (e.g. the early Humble Indie Bundles ca 2010) run without a lot of effort compared to old Windows games (in WINE). And even then there are several that I gave up on and some that only run without audio. Running the old Windows binaries is way easier. For several years whenever I buy a DRM-free game I make sure to download both the Linux version (if any; to install and play now) as well as the Windows version (to keep for the future, whenever the Linux version becomes annoyingly difficult to run).
Little to no math though, which made it mostly a joke.
If you know how sensory organs encode information as spike trains and the many ways neurons input, process and output signals, there's no way around the hypothesis that the brain does information processing. Denying that is just trying to sound clever by pattern-matching to the standard "it's all relative to our culture" criticism, and it's completely divorced from any actual evidence.
I guess the best comparison would be, if you have stuff all over your clothes, you'd probably shake the clothes off before putting them in the washer.

EG, I use the 'weed wacker' to cut up stuff, or I am racking leaves, I get pants with plant debris on them. I tend to shake them off first.

>daytime fatigue, necessitating frequent 40 to 120 minute naps

Few years ago I started to feel really sleepy, even fall asleep during daytime, especially at winter. Turned out to be vitamin D. Taking it helped tremendously. Measured recently - normal, but still slightly low. Increased dose.

So the advice for everyone is: do full blood panel, including vitamin D in particular.
I don't know if anyone feels the same, but lately I have been regretting not have _enjoyed university_ because I wanted to rush to get a job.

There is so much knowledge to acquire getting a degree that I kinda think that there is some agenda of making this generation dumber and dumber.

One of the things that college does well, is to teach stuff that you don't think you need, but that are so important for you.

Those that only do what their brain wants, optimize for what is more comfortable to them while university takes you out of your comfort zone.

Are there things that can be improved, yes! Of course. But go to college and have some fun learning.
You explicitly said logging is a form of "unit test" which has a very specific meaning and a log is not it. Observing a log can obviously be part of an assertion in a test be it manual or whatever, but an assertion is not a unit test.

I didn't realize there was an android version, I'll have to take a look. I am incapable of using a windows computer without Total Commander, I've used it more than any other program, full stop. Probably since I was 4 or 5 years old. Life without it is unimaginable.
This is exactly why we need a biomarker.
> Most land animals have a skeleton not just to provide physical scaffolding to hang tissue on but because we need a store of calcium to mediate blood pH, something sea life doesn't require thanks to those minerals in the water. That's why you can have sharks which are mostly supported by cartilage

Well, the other reason sea life doesn't require rigid bones is that water provides a lot more buoyancy than air. Jellyfish work fine in the water; on land they're immobile puddles of glop.

Online, the answer is Arena. You can get started for free and if you never want to spend anything it’s possible to grind the resources you need to acquire new cards and compete in tournaments. You can get all the way to money prizes this way. Constructed formats are probably more economical than draft because you don’t have to constantly pay for packs.

In real life, every player has thousands of cards they’d happily dump on you if you just want to learn and have fun. You won’t be able to build a very competitive deck (or one up to date with current formats) but it’s fun to play over the table with friends.

The best investment for physical cards is probably the Commander format. This is a particularly social, multiplayer format, where all cards are legal (except for powerful stuff that’s been banned). You can build a deck over years and it’ll always be valid (if not good). This is also available on Arena, but most of the fun is getting round a table.

If you want to get competitive, there’s lots of content out there and many popular streamers to learn from. Magic Online is probably where the highest skilled players still play and test for tournaments but you’re unlikely to go infinite there.
Fuel cells also need expensive catalyst materials. Ammonia engines just burn the ammonia and turn it into water and nitrogen.
This doesn't explain why the water in springs, creeks, and rivers isn't salty.

There is much more water in an ocean for the salt to disperse than in a creek, somehow I can drink from it, but not from the ocean.
> Many of the dissolved ions are used by organisms in the ocean and are removed from the water. Others are not used up and are left for long periods of time where their concentrations increase over time.

> The two ions that are present most often in seawater are chloride and sodium.

This makes it sound like sodium and chloride are the most common ions because they're not used by the organisms in the ocean, unlike all the other dissolved ions. But that's not correct, is it? The ocean is salty because we don't need salt? But we do.

So why is there so much salt in the ocean? Do sodium and chloride simply happen to be the most common elements on Earth that are able to dissolve in water?
The reality and hard truth of the matter is that not everything needs to be a service, but capitalistic structures will try and force everything to pursue that model. The reward for such kinds of products should be that you gain trust for the next product launch that you also sell as a lump cost.

But I guess Pandora's Box was long opened on that.
Earning is one thing, wealth is another.

"""
When the researchers looked at the wealth premium, and a different picture emerged. Older white college graduates, those born before 1980, were, as you might expect, a lot wealthier than their white peers who had only a high school degree. On average, they had accumulated two or three times as much wealth as high school grads of the same race and generation. But younger white college graduates — those born in the 1980s — had only a bit more wealth than white high school graduates born in the same decade, and that small advantage was projected to remain small throughout their lives.

The data for Black families showed the same pattern, but with an even more pronounced downturn. As with the white graduates, older Black college grads were enjoying sizable wealth advantages over their less-educated peers, with generally two or three times the assets of comparable Black high school grads. But Black college graduates born after 1980 were experiencing almost no wealth premium at all. In fact, the researchers found that the wealth premium for Black grads disappeared even earlier than it did for the white graduates. Black college graduates born in the 1970s weren’t receiving any substantial wealth benefit, either, only those born in the 1960s and earlier. Latino families followed a similar pattern. If they were headed by someone born after 1980, they had accumulated no significant additional resources beyond those of a comparable family headed by a high school graduate.

It make sense, I suppose, that in an efficient market the cost of college would rise to capture the return.
> College is fine in fields where the careers are regulated and college is required i.e. engineering, medicine, law, accounting, etc.

Agree wholeheartedly !

If you're going to college to "study" a mickey-mouse degree, then frankly you're wasting your time and your money.

Mickey-mouse degrees can be readily taken care of through far more cost effective options: books, practical experience at home and apprenticeships/junior jobs.

Employers are not stupid either. If you think a mickey-mouse degree is going to magically make you more employable then you're going to be in for a surprise.

I have two questions for you.

First, do you have any opinion on prescripting valciclovir? Apparently some ME/CFS presentations are linked to herpes, and taking valtrex significantly mitigates symptoms. However, in order for this to be effective, it needs to be taken in doses similar to truvada or viramune, not as a short term fix for a herpes outbreak.

Second, any opinion on Bhupesh Prusty's work, specifically regarding fibernectin and a potential biomarker being in bone marrow?
All ovens (as with nearly all household appliances) in the UK must be displayed with an energy label and include reference to it in adverts.

I suspect it's because the erosion of the elements from land happens extremely slowly and barely detectable trace amounts, but the oceans is where they accumulate over the course of billions of years.

I think the real answer is that these elements (sodium and chloride) easily dissolve in water, and there's no process that removes them from the ocean, so they linger and accumulate.
That may be true if they at least knew how much energy the oven would use, and, if they actually made the purchasing decision.

There is no way to know how much the oven is using. Even noce purchased, most people have no idea how much energy in their home is used by what (they just get a single bill and for an entire 2 months period).

Lastly as noted, at least here, the majority are installed by builders and included in a package price - the consumer doesn't choose and most builders don't offer an option. Many more would also be chosen by landlords for those who rent, rather than home owners. Or may have been chosen by the home owner that built the house you then purchased.

Thus I would say the number of consumers that directly choose and purchase the oven they use would be a low percentage, and the cost to replace it is high enough to make that unlikely and not have a great payback period.
Make money, yes. But it's hard (in a corruption free environment) to make money without providing a level of value.
Can you show an example of a web framework using BigInt? I went looking and didn't find any.

Angular has a single instance of it in the client code where they do a SHA1 digest. That's it.
That's how the "free market" works.

If you can't afford a house anymore because it got too expensive, then sorry mate, you're out of luck, that's the fair price of the "free market" supply/demand. Nothing we can do about it, try being less poor next time.

But if a company can't find cheap labor for the price it's willing to pay (aka labor shortage), then they can import as many workers as possible with the help of the government, until the price of labor comes down to the level they deem "fair".
Does the distinction matter as a business if opinions are making the most money? Hard news can simply be the way to draw in readers that are later sustained by opinions, so it's just a subsidy for the real money maker. Buzzfeed actually worked (works?) this way.
I believe that’s mostly solved with Xdebug 3. The performance hit of having it enabled but not actively debugging was greatly reduced compared to 2.
"Freedom of choice for customers!

Microsoft edge is bringing me inconvenience. Just because a product is good doesn't mean I'm obligated to use it. I as a customer do not like this browser. I like another one and I want to have the options very clear to download the browser you want. Your browser edge is almost like a virus does not let me download another browser and we know clearly that all this is not to benefit customers and to direct us to the microsoft download store. I can't download another product other than microsoft this seems to me like monopoly syndrome,

Most of them have been dragging their feet on switching to V4 drivers, a technology that was introduced with Vista and was back ported to XP.
Except that for the most part we don't know "how sensory organs encode information as spike trains". This is the problem of "neural coding" and is very much at the stage of unproven hypotheses.

Meanwhile we have abundant evidence that continuous variables such as the precise timing of individual spikes have physiological effects.
The Wikipedia article you linked as a reference makes no mention about bones, but it does mention intracellular proteins as the location of where the majority of calcium ions are found.

Problem is that to avoid the not-exp, you transfer the cognitive load on the identifier.

I think a good variable name is more important, if that avoids the not-exp nice, but that's secondary.
In terms of education, they're right. Unis became a relic in terms of giving up to date knowledge compared to the ""open"" market. What they chase is headcount and research funds, entangled in medieval rulesets and personnel with lifelong tenure (either by law or politics) who have little incentive to change. Few fields remain where they are unavoidable, like law or medical studies.

In terms of social life, experiences, my heart breaks for them to miss this. Merely just the setting of getting off the chains of parents, while still not having to (that much) worry about finances and and just visiting lectures that interest you gives you a whole different scope of thinking.
Don't know about the pods, but for a while we used DIY dishwashing powder with soda crystals as the main ingredient, and after a while you could definitely notice slight scratching of glassware, and any printing would fade pretty heavily. Not sure if that's a chemical process or simply the abrasiveness of the powder.
Thanks for these - don't have an opinion on either but will look into. Broadly, I think immune dysfunction is a feature of most cfs so there is often a positive EBV test, or HSV test. I suspect this is more "downstream" than causative of CFS. However, it may be that there is a biomarker in the mitochondrial function, bone marrow etc...I hope one is found!
It seems to me that the underlying theme is "I was a bit stubborn and dogmatic, now I learned that the other side was not as bad as I pictured".
Writing Production-Ready Code in Node.js
Could answeroverflow.com be a temporary solution to this?
You mean compared to the oil & fuel leaking alternatives (when they sink, and also all the time) that when they are not leaking are basically burning it? Compared to a battery with some metals and chemicals in relatively small quantities that in the rare cases that they sink that may or may not leak out in trace amounts?

There's absolutely nothing clean about burning bunker fuel, which is the nasty toxic mess that is left after more pure fuels are refined from oil. If it burns, thick, toxic black exhaust comes out. And if it ends up in the water, it's nasty as well. And that of course happens a lot.

Batteries are mostly just a bit of electrolyte and some metals that mostly occur naturally in sea level already (like lithium). The electrolyte compares quite favourably to bunker fuel probably. There may be some chemicals in there that probably aren't that great. But diluted in an ocean of water, they won't do a lot of harm. Mostly, you'd recycle the batteries as they are full of valuable commodities. So, dumping them in the ocean or a land fill would not be a common thing.
>for most the ads are not enough and true income is made through Memberships and Patreon and swag in a store.

you're close. Ads don't make money, ads do.

To clarify: Being sponsored directly by an ad can make you almost as much money as tha ads you get from the Youtube system. So all those RAID SHADOW LEGENDS ads you see from gaming youtubers? Yeah, odds are even the tiny (10k subscriber) channels can make a few hundred off of that pitch.

Patreon is decent, but it's another stream of income you need to put work into to really pay off with. Those who treat it as a donation box don't get too much. Swag is really nice but you need a decent following first. You probably already make a decent side hustle from YT ads alone by the time you consider merch.
> NATO clearly justifies its existence largely as an anti-Russia organization as it denied entertaining the idea of Russia as a member

To clear this up. Russia tried to join by bypassing the typical application process, was told pretty much, no you join like everyone else and then decided they didn't want to join anymore.

> has an offensive first-strike nuclear doctrine, the US pulled out of the ABM and the INF, installed missile defense systems in former Warsaw Pact countries that are clearly part of a strategy to mitigate Russia's capabilities (when Russia has no aggressive first-strike doctrine and only has a defense of Russian territory first-strike doctrine).

Russia also has multiple different agreements / treaties / etc where they promised to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine.

Great good they did.

Russia not having a first use policy would be great if I trusted them to not make up an excuse to nuke someone if they think it would benefit them.

Like how they just chuck out international agreements / etc when it benefits them.

> Almost all of which happened when Russia was a relative "friend" to NATO when it was doing worse things in Chechnya as part of "GWOT" than it is currently doing in Ukraine, and what it is doing in Ukraine is appalling enough.

NATO is currently helping Ukraine defend itself from a country which is trying to subjugate it.

> A good offense is a good defense, but you leave yourself more open to losses when your opponent is able to effectively fight back. In this case, NATO was perfectly happy to accept those losses because they would be Ukrainian. The world is far worse off as a result.

Im confused by this statement.

Russia is the one on the offence and Russia is the one who invaded, Ukraine is the one invading itself.

With the help of NATO.

I think the world is far better of with Russia losing the current war in Ukraine.
