What i don't see in the article is analysis of the ink around the figures or any estimate of age.

My speedqueen dryer needs a new control board after 9 years. A new dryer isn't as high quality. From what I understand the dryer quality dipped in the past 6-9 years whereas washers are more or less the same. Maytag and GE have much cheaper dumb options you should consider, and save yourself several hundred. It will also make replacement less painful if a critical part dies.

From 2004.

I can't help but think of "I have no mouth, and I must scream"

The pendulum has swung so far we cannot build anymore. We can't solve the problems of today because our regulations that are responding to the problems of yesterday. I'm hopeful there's a better way but I haven't seen it yet.

I am trying to find links but can't right now. There are many cross cultural studies they have found the effects of social class systems and family economic advantages persist over centuries. A millennia isn't unbelievable to me.

I imagine it's a mix of both with strong geographic determinism tilting the scales for certain regions.

Apparently there is some evidence that people born in regions where it is more prevalent have some natural resistance.

The main way to get it is accidentally ingesting an infected slug on raw produce, like leafy greens.

Here's a podcast on this parasite, what's known about it and how to avoid it: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-daniel-and-kellys-extraor...

random_u64() Mod 3 does indeed have a single bucket that is oversized. This overweights one option by about 5×10^-20.

rand() Itself has only 32767 possible values, so it's also common for a bucket to be overweighted depending on the number of buckets.

First, Haidt's arguments primarily pertain to public schools and he spends significantly more time on the impact of social media on girls than on boys. The main problems he cites are that social media is creating a substitute for in person, synchronous, high stakes social relationships.

An isolated home schooler's use of social media is not substituting other, richer opportunities that are available.

In addition, Haidt strongly argues against social trends that long predate social media and mobile phones: the overprotection of children and elimination of unsupervised, child-led play in real world situations (specifically where there is physical risk taking).

Based on my read so far, OP is exactly the profile of a person who would have benefited from online social relationships.

It's possible for both to be true: mobile phone use is toxic children who are substituting online relationships for real world interactions. Mobile phone use is beneficial for children who do not have opportunity for real world interactions with peers.

I find that faster than code first, ask questions later. But it takes more time up front.

Bot farm is operated by a company that displays Google ads. This bot farm fakes traffic to the bot farm owner and simulates conversion Google wants to see. Google sees the high conversion and happily serves more ads to the bot farm owner. Bot farm owner is paid by Google for displaying the ads. The person paying for the ad gets screwed.

This relevant post is flagged, but yes, I do think this is a symptom of America crossing the asshole threshold where it pays to outright lie and call your fact checkers insincere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48837460

School is not just about the academic knowledge you gain. Plus, I'd imagine pairing a personalized tutor with an effective human teacher would only accelerate learning faster.

Latchel offers two products to property managers: a maintenance coordination platform and a resident experience platform. This combination ensures residents can live in homes that have maintenance that is actually handled quickly + offer service level guarantees that financially compensate residents when those guarantees aren't met.

At Latchel we understand that renters today expect better service, more perks and faster maintenance than most property managers can afford to provide. Latchel is a software platform that enables property managers to be more responsive and offer better perks so property managers don't have to choose between happy tenants and a healthy bottom line.

We currently have 7 engineers and an interim manager. We are looking for a more permanent leader that will advocate for the team while driving the company forward.

Housing availability, pricing, and supply is hard to solve. Institutional buyers such as REITs do add more challenge to this difficult landscape. We don't target institutional clients and the vast majority of our customers are small mom-and-pop third party managers.
