Let's say that is correct. Wouldn't the observed failure of school to make boys productive workers and members of society then indicate that it should be changed to meet its goal?

I believe, in life, girls can look up to men but boys do not look up to women. I suspect, but am not sure, that is built into the biology of each.
> I have so called mixed-race children and it would be silly to limit them to aspire to be like historical figures that look like them, because I can't even think of one example.
I agree. However, I think that we can make observations that show it does happen. E.G. the non-historical release of the Black Panther movie.
I'd like to suggest that the difference was that girls were way better at school than the boys.
That is, school is an environment built such that the skills required to succeed are more likely to be found in a girl than a boy.
The glamour of a "hot startup" was a side effect of ZIRP.
The glamorous 'day in the life' videos were a result of ZIRP.
Tech optimism was a dream that was only insulated from reality by the easy money of ZIRP.
The inevitability of big corporations is a result of them actually having to make money now, not just expecting to make money at some point in the distant future, is a result of higher interest rates.
Decline of the open internet and the rise of proprietary services is because companies want to actually make money.
Being a programmer doesn't seem as desirable or command nearly the respect that it did just a decade ago because tons of people who wanted easy money, because of ZIRP, became programmers and diluted the pool.
I've heard this as "the best flavor is vanilla". It referred to a hospital aligning healthcare business processes with industry-standard software workflows.
> inadequate amounts of vitamin B12 could induce neurological deficits at a threshold that is higher than the one in current use... Accordingly, our current understanding of optimal serum B12 may have to be revisited to account for the clinical manifestations of B12 inadequacy
In short, people need more B12 than we think they need, and there are neurological symptoms that are getting ignored.
> Researchers.. did find that spending longer on phones... was linked to lower grades, poor sleep, disruptive behaviour and a lack of exercise. But these outcomes did not differ between schools that banned phones and those that did not.

I don't think that man is sane, but he is insightful. Maybe there's a Ballmer Peak [0] of crazy/profound that he stumbled on.

That's not an example of why air travel is dangerous, that's an example of why air travel is safe.
IIRC Twitter LBO bonds were getting an average of 9.6% YTM when raised, and had maturities from 2027 to 2030. Selling at 90-95 means an increase in the yield of about 2% (napkin math says 1%-5%).
With a worldwide grid we could make one a hundred times larger.

> AGEs can also be ingested from food, especially food cooked at high temperatures and with little moisture, like grilled meats, fried foods, and baked goods.[23] The Maillard reaction is the main nonenzymatic reaction known to form AGEs in cooking and is famously known for the distinct browning color and complex flavor and aroma of roasted coffee, French fries, seared meat, and other favorites.
These days there is still political conflict, but there's less contrast between each side's religious makeup. Therefore the conflict won't appear to be a religious conflict.

It's a great episode. And the dark-elf-face joke is not at the expense of any demographic.
No. Immigration reduces available housing. Immigration overloads the health care system. Immigration strains the education system. Immigration creates ethnic enclaves that are hard to police.
Immigration is a federal responsibility. Trudeau and the Liberals are to blame.
Clearly the author is ignorant. Canadians are sick of immigration. Young Canadians doubly so. Racism is becoming more acceptable by the day.
Just another journalist trying to scare you. All that happened is bad debt rose 1% compared to 5 years ago.
