I wonder how aging populations and large-scale language models are going to change the difficulty of this problem. It seems to me that we're just about to unlock 1-to-1 learning, without actually needing 1 teacher per child. It isn&#x2

The real question however is why? I don’t see any real benefit to doing this, unless it’s fashionable in some social circle, or if all of these people want to build singing/acting careers.

To answer your first point, I'm assuming 4 days a week presents itself as a good compromise between worker happiness and productivity given our level of technology and efficiency. Two or three days of work a week would be better for ha

I'll be the first to say the unpopular take on HN: I don't think Windows 95 looks that good (compared to today). I personally find more modern (like MacOS 10) styles to look the best, and flat designs to be just as usable as more

Compared to "normal" industries, this and the cake designer suit [1] really are a different ball-game, because of the speech implications as well as discrimination. On the one-hand, this is very close, if not exactly the same as a

I think this only applies to some things, not others. If you're in the 95th percentile of high-school students, then you're probably getting into a good university. For university, the 95th percentile is enough to get into medicin

I don’t know why, but this makes me feel a bit optimistic about the future, at least in western societies. Our current worries about inflation, the degradation of the middle class, and stagnant wages seems to be more a product of moving to

> To the point the FED was created in 1913, research why it was created - not just wikipedia, get some books published between the 20 to 60s. Do you have any sources on this? I’m not trying to degrade your point though, just curious abou

I've noticed its also quite warm here in Canada too: It's only snowed twice so far (in Toronto), and melted after one day. It usually starts snowing right after Halloween, but thus far, we've had only slush-type snow come in

Having learned Latin, this seems really useful, but only in conjunction with other resources; I would have loved to have this when I was learning. It would be cool though if different phrases/clauses are shown, as being able to divide

One skill that other people haven't mentioned, but is incredibly useful: keeping up with people. Even if you talk to everyone you meet, and get 5 phone numbers a day, if you don't actively plan things and hang out with them, you c

Just get a bunch of scientists who also happen to be gamers. Now you have a competitive e-sports team and an anti-fraud team.

Note, this is mainly in BC. Canada is incredibly large, with many different climates. So while BC is suffering from these heatwaves, places like Montreal are at 20C and low humidity.

Especially considering that it’s summer too. I’m from Ontario and you see counties with 2 million people delay opening because of 25 daily cases.

Huh, that’s an interesting perspective. I guess, being on HN and everything, that everyone has those illusions to grandeur at some point.

You can basically remove Ottawa, Kitchener, & Halifax from that list; they’re essentially small towns with one big attraction. Calgary & Edmonton are basically the same city too anyways.

I fully agree with you, as someone who has lived in both of those cities and the boonies. Considering that 80% of the population is urbanized however (and another 10% rural in the Windsor/BC lowlands) the government really should cater

You don’t even need to wait in most circumstances. If your family still lives at the same residence, and you remember to keep for health card up to date, you can most likely get service as if you never left.

I think California has something like that.

Quite honestly, that could work. Maybe a dollar a month simply to keep the riff-raff out and to keep the servers on.

Yeah, by this metric, school should stop when kids are 12.

It was a pretty slow process I believe. By the 1970s, people already knew these residential schools to be bad, but the last one was closed in the 90s.

I think its mostly groups on social media. Some groups can be rational, like a jury, or a committee full of intelligent people. But for them to be rational, there has to be the correct incentives and culture of discussion (i.e. no social me

I think the main issue isn’t that people don’t recognize that discrimination exists, they’re just annoyed at who it’s being targeted at and how it [not] working. One main thing is that white people as a whole need to atone for slavery, eve

How will we pay for Social Security where it becomes even larger, and the tax base becomes even smaller? I’ve thought about this, and it seems like there is no good option.
