For primary age children at least, though, there will be roughly one parent/carer per child gathered outside the school gates, which has to be a major source of adult transmission.

I've been clinging onto my SE, but I think I'm grudgingly accepting that the form factor is too small. Maybe I'm just getting old and need things bigger so I can see them.

They're also the areas that are hardest to measure, of course. I always loved the Mitchell and Webb take on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgxzSUxxRzE

Those RM Nimbus machines! My school had a lab full of the 186 versions, they were awful. And, again, 'computing' lessons meant MS Office.

That sounds far superior to the 'growth mindset' teaching that my children got at school, which mostly consisted of saying "I've got a growth mindset" or "he succeeded because he had a growth mindset" load

Possibly useful for hybrids where you're trying to squeeze an electric motor in next to an existing ICE?

I think it's another stream of data feeding the model. For example: you see a child walking along close to the edge of the road, not looking in your direction. You don't slam your brakes on, but as a driver your prediction is th

I’ve worked on plenty of teams that are mostly generalists at larger companies. You need a few specialists, then there’s always demand for people who know a little about a lot of subjects, so they can just pick up tasks as needed. Edit: alt

I never really understand the special status given to national sovereignty. We all give up some control in a democratic system, from the local level upwards. Why is there some special status for the national level? What is it that’s so bad

From wikipedia[1], annual CO2 emissions per capita in the US are 16.1 tons, while for many European countries it's around 6 tons. I understand that there are emissions that aren't included there (like things manufactured elsewhere

Interesting. I wonder what the reason for the difference is. WhatsApp (in the UK at least) is extremely prevalent: every group from parents at a school through to Members of Parliament seems to use it.

Could you handle your example in MIP through the objective function, making time outside normal hours expensive, but balancing that with a positive value for lunchtime? Possibly with an integer value limiting the number of days where normal

Removing more than the additional pollution released due to the extra weight and energy usage during driving and manufacturing would be enough I think, given that the bus is going to be driving anyway.

I guess something like the world before AirBnB? Presumably the current regulations around short term rentals/hotels etc developed over time in response to problems the initially unregulated industry caused. So we'll end up going t

Combined with the enormous levels of NIMBYism in the UK, it's amazing anything gets built at all.

Search along route is surprisingly hard to get right. Results near to the route geographically are not necessarily near in terms of disruption to your route (other side of a river, wrong side of a highway etc.) To add to the "things a

My UK driving instructor told me I should park with the car in reverse gear if you're pointing down a hill. I was never quite sure of the logic behind that.

In London they've started putting them in lamposts. Basically a small, discreet plug socket with a cover.

I was constantly bringing up the help view in Vim by hitting F1 instead of Esc. Decades of muscle memory wouldn't allow me to actually use Caps Lock remapped as ecape.

Not the OP, but I’m wary about implementing build logic in a form that’s only executable on a server. Pipelines are one step better than the old style build configuration, but still inferior to just having the whole build/test/rel

If their finished product costs less than its constituent parts, they're kind of doing manufacturing wrong.

Over here (UK) at least, I think a lot of phone thefts are done by people on mopeds who grab phones out of peoples hands while they're using them, so the phone is already unlocked.
