I think the point of comparison of high school graduation rates, the lowest income quintile, really undersells the kind of traumas many children in foster care have faced and the exceptional needs they may have.

I think these statistics are best explained by Simpson's paradox. Some confounders not studied that are likely very highly correlated with dropping out: things like being a victim of sex trafficking, serious physical abuse, drug addiction, gang membership, the list goes on. I suspect if these types of factors were adequately controlled for, that graduation and incarceration rate gaps would narrow significantly.

Goes without saying but I agree with the author on the genetic mumbo jumbo, except to say that some serious mental illnesses that have genetic predisposition could also explain some of the issue.

> There's growing evidence of neuroanatomical differences between ASD and control populations in (replicable) studies

I'm not sure how many of those studies actually have been replicated. My impression is that most of them fail to replicate.

And even those which do replicate, have two serious issues: (1) they only establish group differences not individual differences-even if on average people with ASD are more likely to have X, some ASD individuals will lack X and some non-ASD individuals will have it, meaning we can't actually say X=ASD; (2) most of them are flawed in only considering a single diagnosis (e.g. ASD vs "typically developing"), not multiple diagnoses (e.g. ASD-only vs ADHD-only vs OCD-only vs two or more of the above vs "typically developing"), which renders them incapable to answer questions about the scientific validity of the boundary between ASD and its related diagnoses

The retail store doesn't have the 3001's that I usually get; those are about twice the price on amazon than the other bulk sites. Probably worth it for one or two, but if you want a bulk amount it's worth buying at one of those sites.
> Your friends’ kids won’t talk about you.

They likely will if the kids witness how their parent treasures that friendship.

By your own logic, even. What could "value their families first and foremost" possibly mean if the love a family member has for a friend-- and vice versa-- doesn't end up deeply affecting the bond the rest of the family has with that same person?

The exception that comes to mind is when a family has real question about whether that same level of love/respect is reciprocal-- e.g., they suspect their family member is being used by their friend, or perhaps both are involved in a spiral of drugs, etc. Outside of that, a family disrespecting a close friendship would make me question the health/depth of the familial bonds.

No offense, but that is a pretty one-dimensional view of products and businesses. So many great products are just an exciting and/or user-friendly version of a simple concept and well marketed which opens up the doors to a much larger audience than the original concept otherwise would've received.

This approach isn't a cheap cop out, it is serving a genuine utility and bridging the technology to more people.
The issue is mostly with our refining capabilities. Helium is mixed with natural gas as it travels from wells to compressor stations which push it down the pipeline to the refinery for separation. There are only 14 refineries in the world set up to capture helium, half of which are in the United States.

Building new refineries can take decades and is extremely expensive. The refinery and wells also must be located near radioactive reserves which decay and produce the helium.

You're absolutely right about party balloons not being an existential threat. There are two types of Helium for commercial sale: balloon-grade and Ultra High Purity Grade. Balloon grade Helium is used strictly for balloons and is not adequate to be used as a shielding gas or in any medical capacity. Ultra High Purity Grade has undergone the scrubbing process after extraction, and is safe for welding, industrial and medical applications.

The reason 2023 year was so bad is that prices are lagging behind interest rates. In a liquid market, they have an inverse relationship, but it wasn't until Q3 of 2023 that prices actually started giving way.

There's almost a 1-year lag, which resulted in high prices AT high interest rates. Reasonably, this affected purchasing decisions.

Sales will pick back up again by Q2 2024.

If your password is 123456, then client-side hashing will make this less obvious. If the site is compromised in a way that reveals passwords, then it will not trivially work on other sites that use your password. In addition, stronger total hashing can be used, since if your server can do M hashes persecond and your client can do N hashes per second, the total number of hashes to allow a one second login are (M/$NUMBER_OF_CONCURRENT_LOGINS)+N which is strictly larger than (M/$NUMBER_OF_CONCURRENT_LOGINS).

SRP[1] is an even better improvement, where an eavesdropper cannot authenticate as you; there is a challenge-response to login.

The bar is different - saying "there is no risk of apocalypse" requires you to be ~100% certain, because it you're saying "I'm 99% certain that there won't be a an apocalypse" then you're on the side of the AI-risk people, because a low-probability extinction event does justify action; the risk argument isn't that apocalypse is certain but rather that it is sufficiently plausible to take preventive measures.

I think this may be different stae to state. Here you cannot just place your kid in foster care, they need to meet certain criteria e.g. they are abused or neglected. I guess you could purposefully neglect your kid but there are legal risks there for sure.

The way you can choose to "place" your kid in foster care is to voluntarily terminate your parental rights, which is outside of very rare circumstances a one-way trip. Regardless it is still done both for medical reasons and inability to deal with behaviors.

Worst is an interesting framing - lowest transactions is far better.

Obviously all in housing transaction costs decreasing from nearly 10% today to something a lot more reasonable would increase liquidity and transactions. A shift towards more short term rentals is also reducing the demand for homeownership.

This chart is based on forward inflation expectation, which is probably lower than actual. Ideally I'd like to see this chart until 10 years ago that compares the rate of interest on a US 10Y t-bond when issued with the actual inflation that occurred over the 10 years until it matured.
> actually improving the browser to be a competitive product

Firefox would be more competitive on iOS with Gecko-based WebExtensions on iOS such as uBlock Origin, which is exactly what Mozilla is advocating for with this page. It's contradictory to argue that people don't want ad blocking on Firefox by claiming that Mozilla isn't trying to improve Firefox, when in reality, Mozilla is pushing for the removal of Apple's restrictions, which would enable Mozilla to improve Firefox on iOS with WebExtensions, ad blocking, and other useful features.

> Of course it is in their interest - because they are Google's sock-puppet.

It would be Mozilla's interest to challenge Safari's Apple-imposed monopoly on iOS even if they received all of their funding from other sources, and the reasoning is simple. Mozilla is harmed by Apple hindering Firefox in all of the ways that the page mentions, all of which limit Firefox's capabilities, convenience, and attractiveness. To credibly claim that it's not in Mozilla's best interest to challenge Apple's restrictions, you would have to show that Apple's restrictions benefit Mozilla indirectly in some way that fully offsets all of the ways it directly hurts Mozilla. And Mozilla does not benefit from Apple's restrictions in any significant way.
VxWorks has a reputation, for which I have no great feel for whether or not it's deserved.

Not my experience at Amazon. If an employee is performing but not growing, then their manager has some explaining to do as it is usually the case that the employee wants to grow but manager is not developing them the way they should be. I have seen plenty of cases where an employee just does not want to get promoted, the manager explains, and it’s fine.

I recently noticed that quite a lot of my peers are now going with PopOS+LineageOS instead of MacBook+iPhone.

I'm still happy to build Windows and Mac apps if a client wants them. Taking advantage of dedicated Windows APIs is relatively easy, you just get a enterprise key from msdn and fire up a VM. But Apple is notoriously complicated about running their OS in a VM. So most Mac projects end up as Electron (tested exclusively on Linux) and then GitHub Actions to vomit out the Mac+iOS apps, because it's cheap and most companies don't care about quality, they just need Apple apps for their checklist.

In line with that, maybe the developers who could build cool Vision Pro apps have just been alienated out of Apple's ecosystem. And it certainly doesn't help that they are constantly in the news for their Sith-worthy iron-tight grab on developers' purses.

"Come lock yourself into a new ecosystem where you have no alternative tools and you'll forever give up 30% of your revenue"

just doesn't sound attractive to me. Once there are cross-platform engines for Quest and Vision, I might consider the latter. But as long as it's a prison run by Apple, I'll avoid Vision as much as I can.

Edit: In my opinion, the killer app for VR is still gaming. Robot Recall by Epic Games would probably be amazing on that hardware. But I don't think Epic is in the mood to support Apple with their new app store ;)

I do. I grew up in Australia and there has been basically uninterrupted crazy property price growth for 25 years. Always a reason why it would or should go down, but it never has. Canada is the same as far as I know.

Short term rentals do not reduce demand for homeownership. Quite the opposite, they reduce supply for home ownership.

That's cool. Thinking about it, there must be a tradeoff. The rover could support more massive batteries, but then "docking" between the two machines would have to be utterly reliable.
> Yet, so many normal people do atrocious things- countless examples of normal mothers and fathers who abuse their kids, etc.

The problem is the word "normal" is ambiguous. It has both descriptive senses (e.g. "normal" as within two standard deviations of the mean) and normative senses ("normal" as conforming to norms which tell us how things should be), and people often shift between the two or mix them up without making that distinction clear.

> You can say they are not normal, but that is just falling into the true scotsman fallacy.

I don't think this is the "no true Scotsman fallacy" at all. Whether child abuse is "normal" in a descriptive sense is a factual question–I don't know the answer, but there are means available to produce one non-fallaciously (e.g. prevalence surveys). Whether child abuse is "normal" in the normative sense (conforming to norms of how things should be)–I hope we can all agree that "no, it isn't", and there is no fallacy in saying that.

None of these things garner respect, as respect is earned from people.

> A lot of newer employees will remember your mentoring.

That is where respect resides.

> That in itself all earns you valuable respect.

How one interacts with, helps, and/or mentors people is what alone earns "valuable respect." An informal conversation with someone wanting to learn, resulting in a book recommendation, is far more impactful than a few commits.
>A shift towards more short term rentals is also reducing the demand for homeownership.

Honestly what on Earth are you talking about??? Your logic is not clear at all, and if you're truly trying to claim that less people want to own houses then you need to make an argument because that is an outrageous claim.
