This is a great natural wonder. Thank you.

It also invalidates my logic. Maybe there could be some vector with biannual periodicity.

Is there any geographical clustering? The article mentioned Colorado GBS cases, but I could not find any mentioning of AFM one. If this happens mostly during the hot season and some insect vectors are suspected, I'd expect to see some concentration around hot and humid areas.

Even if such insect exists, they would have alternating two groups that would appear like annual, like cicadas.

I think curiosity implies intellectual humility but the converse is not necessarily true.

What if the plan includes expanding to new markets, say China or Europe or even West coast? When I used Peloton in a hotel at late night pacific time, it did not have anything live going on until 2am or something. That made it less attractive as an owl type person.

A close cousin of this topic would be the background of new full professors in major universities. Ph.D. is risky, especially considering the slim chance of getting the full professorship and its tremendous opportunity cost. The competition to become a full professor in a major institution is fierce and also it takes longer and longer as the competition heats up. The path is quite comparable to that of the unicorn founders in many ways.

I'd wonder how much study has been done around the socioeconomic backgrounds of those prominent professors. I'd also be interested how those backgrounds have been shifted as time goes by. It would be also interesting if not much research has been done about it when some of them are supposed to do such a thing.

Thank you, you made my day. I spent way too much time reading commets in HN, and that effort paid off. :)

They do like each other. Koreans love Japanese food and many Japanese also like Korean food. They watch TV shows from each other. Many TV shows are often just translated versions from the other country.

It's actually the politicians who want the people to have enmity to each other and some people are vulnerable to the propaganda. The existence of the North Korea regime and their history of kidnapping Japanese people also don't help. Much of their economic strength also overlaps, so there's competition as well.

If you still don't understand, think about close European countries. They probably get along just fine, but Brexit happened..

Syntax-wise, Koreans and Japanese are very close. The sound systems are also close (e.g. no p/f v/b distinction). Kanji and Hanja are just Japanese/Korean versions of Chinese. Some words are shared and some nursery rhymes have the same melody. They even memorize the multiplication table with the same melody. In many ways, their languages and cultures have evolved with proximity for a long time, like thousands of years.

English and Korean are just two languages that would have almost no way of influencing each other directly for a long long time. They evolved independently, and once one is familiar with one language system, learning the other is just... painfully difficult in my experience.

If you see grammar errors in my comment, a Japanese person would very likely show similar mistakes in their English writings.

South Korean here. My anecdata: some of my friends went to Japan for advanced degrees. Most of them came back within a couple of years after their study.

10x or more people around me went to US. The majority of them are still in the country after a few years.

Such tendency was remarkable to me, given the difficulty of learning English and relative ease of learning Japanese by Koreans.

There is one thing I can't understand from the article: it says a low birth rate as a reason of an increase in migration. Why would a low birth rate lead to more migration? I can understand the unemployment rate as a reason, and SK surely has a serious problem of low birth rate.. but that's for new babies...

Why do we separate ADHD from other abnormality with similar symptoms, when ADHD itself seems symptom-based diagnosis?

I have my own personal hypothesis that some types of ADHD are caused by persistent stress due to sensitive sensory reactions. Also, another hypothesis of mine is that some may just develop similar symptoms with enormous stress factors (e.g. no proper caregiving at early age, or PTSD). Is there any literature that corroborates or disproves such hypothesis?

with limited resource, you have to choose to balance between the stability or more control over your infra. IMO, small companies can't afford both, but also likely they would not need both at that size.

Big cloud providers or some big VC backed companies have the resource to figure out the issues by wrestling with the gigantic and unyielding vendors, or by working around it with their engineering resource. Not many teams have the time for even wanting to understand the issues. This is not an inherent problem of bare metal, but one aspect to consider if you were to choose the path. But you are right, cloud providers have their own quirks.

In my last team, our team suffered from a CPU bug and a SSD bug that caused painful debugging nights. We used multithreading heavily, and it could have been library/kernel issues or some bugs in our code, which cover massive amount of potential target code that needed to sort through initially. I don't think small companies can afford such gigantic debugging effort, so either they should rely on their luck (or flaky tests) or on someone else who can afford it (a cloud/infra service provider or a startup that depends on you.)

If the VCs are that lazy, and assuming they still seek for the most profit, wouldn't VCs move to the bay area to find the unicorns? Wouldn't it create a virtuous (or vicious depending on the perspective) cycle of formibg a cluster of the companies and VCs in the area?

Eventually too much of such cycle would give way to the increased cost of living. But I see a tendency of more moderation in employee compensation by big companies, which would favor small startups again around the area.

I am curious. How do you know if this is secure or not? Is there any publication or article available for this slightly time-saving but potentially dangerous choice?

From this post, it is unclear whether the DNS given by DHCP should be 8.8.8.8, or the device only needs reachability to 8.8.8.8. I think if the latter is true, it seems acceptable, given the internet can be unpredictable, and Google network reachability would be correlated among services.

The same here. For me, exercises seem to ease the problem.

But the amount of exercise is important, and once in a while I need to take some rest, then the same issue hits me again. Maybe I need my own dry textbook..

This makes me wonder if the major source shifts to the back after the treatment.

As the article says, the cause is not certain. From some study, higher c-section rate correlates with higher income, so my guess is that it could just be an outcome of better hygiene according to the hygiene theory.

No, the correct conclusion is that the metric “work hour” is just likely inconsistent and has little value by itself. The real tragedy is that beaureaucrats or media use these weak metrics to back up their claims one way or another..

Many comments seem to cast doubt on the marshmellow test based on the article. I honestly don’t understand how the contents of the article could lead to such conclusion. Aren’t the economic status of the family and the result of the test both correlated with the future economic status, and no causal relationship is suggested?

I'm not sure what's the point you're making with the gold rush migration, but most of the population to California came after Model T, and it was during and after the World Wars that California saw much of its population growth. Michigan had more population than California up until 1930s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_histori...

I believe the population growth has contributed to the growth of Silicon valley significantly. There seems some feedback loop between the population growth and the industry growth.

After reading this comment, I genuinely wondered in which aspects Apple Maps is better than Google Maps, since I've mostly used Google Maps for years. So I just opened up the Apple Maps and searched a few places, and it was surprisingly responsive. There are a few deficiencies, but I could see why Apple's map itself could be good enough for 90% of people.

IMO, navigation is a different story. I think navigation is one area where the up-to-date accurate information matters, and it seems Google has advantages in this part, thanks to Waze and its massive geo data. Also, Apple navigation UI really needs some critical improvements, like first-person perspective.

At that time, Silicon valley didn’t exist and California was barely getting mass migration. About a century later, now even the car industry seems to move toward California..

I have little background about the cultured meat, and this link made me curious: wouldn't cancer cells be good candidate cells for creating this type of meat?

Agreed. Science matters little for a business if it offends people who pay for the business or the people within the business. Even scientists themselves have issues with such results -- a part of the file drawer problem.

I guess a NYT columnist can say this because click-bait-y titles always help for revenue and Google does not stop giving the ad revenue when news articles are critical of its CEO. This looks like both parties doing their roles well enough.

Chomsky is by no means a saint, but in the wikipedia article you cited, I could not locate any direct "denial" of genocide done by Khmer Rouge. He seems to have questioned the credibility of certain accounts, which seems a necessary role of any reasonable intellect. It was 1970s, so information from the other side of the globe was harder to confirm. To me, it seems quite understandable for someone to raise questions around any information that outrageously deviates from the norm, which is the case for the activity done by Khmer Rouge.

1) I believe so. Once Google goes into Diridon, enough young people would gather around the station, businesses would also gather, higher-density buildings will go up, start ups will start to gather as well.

2) Cupertino is close enough to Stanford and Moffett, which were the two centers of initial Silicon Valley. Morgan Hill and Brentwood are quite far. Still, its population and real estate markets will grow.

3) High price sometimes attracts people by itself.

I think this comment is actually a good warning to typical readers, although the last line is distracting from the main point.

My guess is there would be more failure cases than success cases, but I don't see many negative stories here and suspect much selection bias here.
