The keywords is "presumably". There should only be a drop if your hypothesis is correct which given population growth, car ownership trends and overall economic growth is doubtful. I think it's safe to say, that, in the Wes

That's good point, because the rate is, of course, escalating. It is interesting that these sorts of articles ("BPA exposure associated with 7 point IQ decrease" was a recent one on the HN front page) seem to gloss over the

I have to disagree with his idea about paging developers in the middle of the night to deal with errors. Unless it's really mission critical (which most enterprise work isn't), it will keep till morning. The next generation of p

It seems like Khan Academy initially covered whatever Sal Khan found interesting, so there is Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Now that it's become more focused, a side effect is that there's a bigger concentra

I don't mean to sound glib, but the 2003 invasion of Iraq probably is a much bigger reason for the continued unrest in that country. Syria isn't listed as using leaded gasoline, nor are Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Bahrain, Libya o

As nasty as lead is, a few things make me wonder if some of the claims, particularly regarding low levels of lead and IQ, are on shaky ground. The Flynn Effect continued despite lead levels rising during the twentieth century. Now that lead

That's a fair point, and it was also made by an NTSB board member who appended a partial dissent to the report.

It isn't only Airbus that has deadly UI. Boeing came in for some flak in the design of the 777's non-intuitive autothrottle modes in the Asiana 214 crash report. Pilot confusion with Boeing's autothrottle has also been implic

Stay = delay in some contexts. But in the context of the OP's content about disrupted and fragmented sleep, it should probably be ''stay asleep'' as you say. Probably a typo or something.

That is true-the lead-crime link seems compelling. But I've been browsing a fair amount on the subject, and the lead-IQ link is always quite heavily featured. Some studies claim differences of 5 IQ points between children with blood le

I have posted this before on HN, but I don't understand how, as lead levels continued to rise, IQs also increased during the 20th century. And someone pointed out in another comment, as blood lead levels have plunged, we should have se
