Some people, when confronted with systems problems, think "I know, I'll make another system in a container". Now they have twice as many problems.
For reference I had to take several SAT subject tests to get into college ~20 years ago, the homeschooling co-op I was a part of did get accredited while I was attending so I think those tests weren't a requirement for other kids who went through an accredited co-op.
I 100% shill for magnesium when I can, and sleep is a huge reason in my experience. I was recommended it by others for sleep, and I have got a lot of people started. Within a few days our sleep is just so much better, including deeper dreams. I do 100mg lysinate glycinate. My brand's bottle recommends two per serving, but one has worked great. I take it right before bed and have never looked back.
It can, but it needs to be able to renegotiate their leases and break out of the bad leases.

The problem with WeWork is that Adam Neumann closed really bad leases (which are typically like decade long) which makes certain locations not profitable at all, no matter how WeWork provides a good service.

Once you remove the rotten stuff, they've got actually pretty good business, 75%+ occupancy rate and people who use WeWork actually like it.

It's also a memorable brand and that business model they have is actually good. But you need to "reshape" completely the company, and only through bankruptcy laws you could achieve it.

> I suspect this article will not age well. Drastically cheaper EVs have just appeared on the horizon. That may very well accelerate adoption.

I think part of the disconnect is that this is an article mostly about the US EV transition, but it doesn't ever make that explicit. Over here we don't really have anything small or affordable to look forward to. We have big cultural challenges with lower range, lower utility vehicles which I do think is going to stifle our transition even if China and Europe keep chugging along.
> The freedom to fork has to be available to the community or any subset thereof, and viable. This is the weakness of the BUSL- because it prevents the community, or a subset thereof, from pursuing a key source of revenue to fund a fork.

I believe the main issue today is less the BUSL but that 3 or 4 years which are the common terms are a bloody long time. The secondary issue is that the BUSL is a huge turnoff for contributions for a potential community fork. I know people forked Sentry from the BSD source rather than the BUSL rollover versions, even though the Apache2 licensed Sentry is much newer (though still years old).

We might not owe anyone anything, but we also are not particularly happy with the license choice we have at the moment. We had the hope that we can start a positive trend for combining a SaaS business with Open Source and I don't think it has quite worked out how we wanted. A lot of companies rally behind the BUSL that have very different values than we do, and that adds to the negative perception of the license.
This. It's not just the vehicle. I look at the houses on my block and there are only two that have a garage. More than half don't even have a driveway.[0] Even if you have a driveway, most are only big enough for one car; so, if you have two EVs, your moving cars around to charge them.

[0] My neighborhood was laid out more than 125 years ago. The two houses on my east side were built in 1898, years before the Model T. Mine was built in 1900 and the only reason I have a driveway is because a past owner bought half of an adjacent lot.

If you met an everyday user of technology you'd see that he/she is completely fine simply remembering what to click on a cryptic screen which no one understands or has time to spend looking up. Just think of all the notifications and alerts about various security stuff while you need to get things done. Muscle memory. Except unlike security warnings, dismissing which can pwn you, in this case it could one day save your system/work so I don't see how it's not worthwhile.

My experience in Regus coworking spaces has been fairly awful. Disorganized, dirty, my desks were wobbly, never got the key to my storage drawers, etc. If they’re a big player and they purchase WeWork, I’d consider the entire space worth avoiding.

I'd rather say that the cause of weight gain is excess calories, the cause of weight loss is a calorie deficit. To achieve a change in weight requires a change in calorie intake. How one can achieve that calorie intake is obviously more complicated than just changing calorie intake, because hunger is extremely difficult to ignore.

The goal is changing weight. The immediate means is to change calorie intake. The hard problem is that doing so requires changing hunger, and we don't have a good (safe, cheap, widely available) way to do so.

CICO is necessary to understanding, but is not sufficient. Any proposed solution that doesn't address hunger is bound to fail.
> car dealers obscuring true costs of borrowing ("how much do you want to pay per month?")

That I would blame the consumer. Think about it.

I'd bet consumers looking for a car start at "What car do I like?" or "What do I need in my next car?" I'd bet pretty much no one starts by asking themselves "How much can I afford?" And if they ask that question is always on a month-to-month basis, because that matters. The now and today.

Once they know what they want, they try to get it no matter the cost. If it's more than their budget, they go for paying more in the long run but less month-to-month.

Hell I'd even say that if a salesman tells them that their so-wanted car is out of their limtis, the consumer will get mad and go all-karen on them.
I don't really agree with that. I'd say they're complex in different directions. C++ has complexities Rust doesn't because it bends over backwards for source-level compatibility. A lot of it is entirely at the semantic and pragmatic level. Rust's complexities are mostly due to its type system, meaning the complexity is at the syntactic level. I had never seen a computer crash because an IDE was trying to figure out how to parse a program before I worked with Rust, for example.
It often has to do with the size of the company: the larger you are, the weaker your decisionmaking.

I work for a very large corp. As part of a round of layoffs earlier this year, they cut an entire foreign office, to the man. The decision was made from very high up: VPs were informed after it occurred. For some departments, the losses were small. For others, they were crippling: It was a very important group, doing things nobody else did, and which we couldn't cut.

The end result? The VP realized that the cuts had been extremely unwise, and now almost everyone that worked on that group has US visas, and is working from a new office in the US, with American salaries instead of their far, far lower ones. Not a costs savings, not an improvement in capability... just more expensive, and with projects that got delayed for months, as everyone was out for about 6 months.

For US layoffs, the decisions were not made quite that high, but still high enough that people in the know of salaries and performance were extremely confused about who got cut. Some great, cheap people were cut. Some expensive people that are poor performers by any standard remained. But nobody that managed ICs was involved with the decision making.

A large organization either makes very slow decisions, or acts basically blind. Sometimes they really fail, and do both!

> biz users are email and a few small spreadsheets. I don't get why biz users need multicore anything.

That's a fairly narrow view of what a business user might do. The spreadsheets aren't necessarily small, there's usually a messaging tool or two open, and several web browsers open to line of business apps, etc. (This is before even considering OS overhead and the like.)

My guess is that it’s a safe number where you can lay off at that level and guarantee minimal disruptions in operations.

7% equates to laying off one person per group of 14 people. It would be hard to argue that most companies couldn’t get by with 13 people doing the work of 14.

I think you would feel the loss of one person on a team of 10 a lot more.
For some reason there's not a lot of academic interest in homeschool outcomes, so there's not much data out there. But the data that is out there shows why parents who turn to homeschooling almost never turn back.

And I've never met a homeschooled kid who didn't seem weird. And by weird, I mean able to easily discuss complex topics with adults, showing not only competent conversation skills, but broad knowledge of the world and how it works.

Perfection is not necessary for you to be confident that you have a reasonable understanding and can build something to match. It is possible the confidence will prove to be misguided, but you can deal with that later.

To prioritize flexibility means that one lacks the understanding required to even build a misguided confidence.
Generally, 7% includes most of the cost center divisions (recruiting, HR, BDRs/Demand Gen, Marketing) plus a smattering of low performers in Eng+PM. Speaking from experience in M&A.
>Addiction is the pain of absence.

I love this definition, because we feel the absence and want to resolve it. If the focus on that absence gets too great, we start living to serve the reduction of that absence, leading to antisocial behavior the deeper you step into the addiction.

I also believe this is one reason why we are so easy to addict these days - we feel the absence of meaning in our lives (which used to be filled by spiritual practices that many have abandoned all over the world) and in an effort to reduce that lack of meaning, we seek meaning in other things. And if not meaning, we seek comfort which can lead to addiction to anything we rely on too much to salve the pain.

This is a philosophical take rather than a biochemical one, of course, so there are multiple angles to consider this issue from.

Yeah, I mean if you plan on getting laid off from your career some day and have to work two jobs to make ends meet, you really shouldn't have kids. Having kids should only be reserved for people who plan on having no unforeseen issues ever come up in their life, am I right?

Parents should just take responsibility and make sure that they don't ever come across hard times. See also: the poor are just lazy.

But to be clear, they shouldn't expect high paying computer jobs to be an ivory tower for themselves so they don't have to interact with and get along with a diverse group of people (including gasp extroverts and marketers).

Which is the point that the comment I originally replied to was making. "Let's keep tech for just the nerds, as it should be."
Seems apropos to mention the works of John Taylor Gatto on the origin of the American public school system and in particular its motivation: social control of the lower classes by the elite of the country. You can find interviews on the web. He was teacher of the year in New York (both city and state) before he retired in disgust at what was being done to young people's minds with the current "schooling" system -- training in regurgitating canned answers, not in critical or original thought -- and then only on approved topics. Why is ignorance of the dollar creation system so widespread if we truly have an educated country -- for example.
There is a huge amount of inequality in the quality of education that home schooling can achieve, that is definitely true. So maybe we work on the inequality.

Inequality of education is a symptom of a self reinforcing broken economic system.

Meanwhile, if I can provide a superior education and social experience for my children, Im glad to have the opportunity to do so. I’ve seen bad outcomes and good ones from homeschooling, and in my particular case I am absolutely delighted with the results (now that my children are adults)

But to achieve that my wife and I invested our entire lives, uprooting ourselves and living experiences with our children as part of their education, sailing around on a boat we rebuilt and going to local schools in other languages as their cultural preparation. It was a bit hellish for my wife and I but the 6 years we invested in that paid unbelievable dividends for our children. Most people can’t or won’t do that.

We weren’t (financially) rich, but I have always prioritized my freedom over material wealth, and you can do amazing things on a modest (60k/year was our passive income from contracting at that time) budget if you have complete control of your time.

Ask HN: My signup form is being bombarded by bots. What do I do?
My sign up form is being filled by automated bots/scripts that are signing up using other people's emails. This means that the confirmation email my app sends out get flagged by the email owners as spam, hurting my domain reputation and email sending limits.

So far, I've tried Google Recaptcha which has reduced the rate but has not eliminated it, even at the maximum filtering level. The rate of fake sign ups is still high enough to cause email reputation problems for me. What do I do?
They're comparing base trim for the Model 3 with the average price paid across all ICE vehicles. It's a useful thing to note, but it's not a realistic comparison for what people will actually want to buy (especially when one of the big trim options is how far you're allowed to drive it per charge).
It's almost entirely because entrenched interests (realtors, NAR) sabotage those efforts. The market has never had a chance to support any other approaches.
Brave has been taking the same approach for a while now (they package their own .deb, and run their own APT repo),

Why doesn't Firefox also package their stable/release version this way? It's just nightly on this Mozilla repo, and extended-support (ESR) on the Debian-administered side.

Good description. Some year ago I may have worked on part of an auth solution for HMRC and the main problem for auth is summed up perfectly with https://xkcd.com/927/

There is basically many legacy and partial rewritten auth services and abstraction layers across gov.uk. Some parts are actually good but it is confusing which funnel will trigger which auth flow. Not helped with several huge maintenance contracts to large consultancies that have no interest letting go of their legacy service.
> kids will only ever be as smart as their teachers

Clearly not true. Do you think every genius had teachers who ever also geniuses?

You do not need to be a qualified teacher to teach, and you do not need to teach in order to educate. Teachers need teaching skills to teach classes. That is very difficult but not something home educators need to do.

As for subject matter, parents can arrange access to appropriate resources. It is not usual for parents to teach everything and I think that is a bad approach to home education (the term I prefer, for just this reason).

My two home educated kids have been taught some subjects I know, they have gone to classes a bit, had tutors, done online courses, and done a LOT of self-teaching. I like the last of these because it developing study skills.

They have done well academically. My older daughter got a 9 in Latin GCSE, for example, for which she was entirely self-taught. For those unfamiliar with the UK system that is a top grade in public exams typically done at 16 (although my kids did most of theirs younger - less stressful, less at risk from adverse events, and one of the advantages of HE).

Even for subjects I helped them with, once they reached their teens the help needed was very minimal.

A study in Australia found HE was unusual in that working class kids did better than middle class kids. A study in the US found HE kids whose mothers had not graduated high school did better academically than similar kids who went to school. A study in the UK found HE kids did better after adjusting for factors such as parental education and income.

What I do think is a bad idea (and I suspect it what your friends are doing) is to attempt to replicate school syllabuses and teaching methods at home.
I do wonder (and truly mean wonder, because I have no clue), what percentage of the 75%+ occupancy is attributed to the bad leases.

Are their most used buildings "bad leases" and their good leases are sitting empty? i.e. are the most sought after / used locations are also the most costly to WeWork.

One of those history lessons is that change happens. This is why Rust has editions: allows for new features without breaking old code. There is still code complexity, but that complexity has been shifted/amortized into the compiler suite instead of everyone's project code.

Crucially, editions allow for deprecation, which is a trick C++ always had trouble with no matter how outdated the language construct.
>> Just wait how large the Rust surface area might have become in 2053.

This is a valid concern. One can hope that Rust evolves very slowly and as-needed. IMHO part of the problem with C++ is the fact that a committee exists to advance the language and produce regular updates. Combine that with most of the language already being defined (with a lot of overlap with C BTW) and you get a lot of bolted-on stuff and core features as part of the standard library that might have otherwise been part of the language with nice syntax. Rust had the advantage that a lot of things had been learned prior to its creation so things are cleaner. Lets hope keeping it that way is a priority and not just adding new things on top of new things - I think they're doing it right, but I don't really follow it.

C is great in this regard. The language is IMHO mostly "done" and rarely changes. I'm happy to use C99 and not much demands newer.

Looking at Wikipedia I'm afraid C is starting to get too many updates, but the 2017 version is said to add no new features! :-)

> The ops people called 911, fire/ambulance came — and were turned away at the door by security

It’s astounding that impeding an emergency response wasn’t an immediately arrestable offense. If there’s a mortal threat and “security” is in the way, police should have every right to subdue the rent-a-cops.
This probably doesn't help you directly, but I suspect the older people mentioned in the article may often have some sleep apnea, preventing them from reaching deep sleep. I just started using a CPAP machine, which has greatly improved it for me. Making sure it is always treated could help society wide.
Well though-out languages gain complexity in a much slower rate than the carelessly put together ones. By orders of magnitude.

I doubt Rust will become as complex as C++ before it's abandoned in a few decades.

Regus might. Or they wait for liquidation and pick the juciest bits.

Considering education majors are as a group among the academically poorest performing majors, I think your concerns are unfounded. Consider also the educational fads like three-cueing that actively harmed children.

A few decades ago, most teachers did not have anything beyond high school education. While there are many valid defenses of public schooling, "public school teachers are more qualified" is not one of them, particularly given the miserable performance of many public schools - qualified teachers in 23 Baltimore schools failed to generate a single mathematically proficient student, and Baltimore is not alone. Credentials on their own don't mean anything if there's nothing worthwhile backing them. If anything, they are currently being used for gatekeeping purposes. For example, I have a Master's degree in CS and I was a TA, but if I were inclined to teach a CS at high schools, I have to spend a few thousand dollars and get a pointless certification.
You don't need to keep it all in your head. That wouldn't be practical or useful for most languages. Especially when libraries get involved.

I think the better answer is to just remember the bits that are frequently useful to you, and pull up a tab on the rest if and when you need it.
