Chart on the bottom here [0] seems to confirm parents assertion - cases for under 18s spiked after school reopening, but are now decreasing. Though atm schools are closed for two weeks (Easter holidays)
The data I shared is calculated from random population surveillance testing, and is the gold standard on measure of true spread.
The data you linked to is reported cases. Children often have very mild or asymptomatic cases so they are not tested nearly as much and thus many more cases are undetected in children compared to other age groups.
What you said is mostly true but there are also frequencies that ham operators can transmit in, but only have secondary priority to other uses.
For example hams can only transmit in the 1.25 meter band if they don't interfere with other users like the Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS).
Sun exposure (and even tanning beds) produces vitamin D, but it also causes other changes in the human body. It appears sun exposure OR tanning bed use (!!!) reduces all cause mortality.
I think there's some confounding factors in 'outdoorsy' people having other healthy lifestyle habits, but it also seems likely that there is some other mechanism, beneficial to human health, triggered by uv exposure.
Being in the sun (not excessively) feels incredible, at a very deep level. The same way eating a really healthy diet and exercising every day feels.
I frequently wonder: if I'm correct, what other things are like this? Fats are good for you, not carbs as they've said. That's one example that comes trivially to mind. But I'm convinced there is a ton of stuff we do because it's "good" when in really, the positives far outweigh the negatives.
That's assuming that people correctly know and express the opinion that they hold. Asking people directly is still somewhat of a noise signal. Also, the act of viewing the result of the vote seems to have changed people expressed opinions at least.
Just a little background the paper itself doesn't provide:
The 3-d modeling and rotation is building on the work Yaniv did as part of Face.com (face recognition startup), which was acquired by Facebook.com. Studied here: http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/results.html
Also Marc'Aurelio was just hired away from Google and is a deep learning expert.
I think you might mean "The War of Art," which is a great motivational book. The "Art of War" is good too, but would be tough to classify as "hippie'esque."
It's relevant that they can sell their shares after they leave, but if they continue working at FB they have to wait a few more weeks to months for the lock-up period to expire. Maybe they're scared about the stock and want to prevent further losses.
Just curious, why do you say this? Most lockups are structured in such a way that they are binding whether or not you continue to be employed by the company. Your shares can only be sold via the company stock plan manager (often the underwriter) and they will enforce the agreement.
Is there any reason you believe FB's lockup is structured differently?
Many corporate employment agreements have two stock sale requirements of note:
1. You can only trade during certain "windows" per quarter. The rest are all blacked-out dates - for example leading up to earnings announcements.
2. Under some employment contracts, you may not benefit from any trading strategy that is contingent on the stock falling in value. In other words, you cannot short nor directly hedge against the stock of your own company.
Specifically what this means is that an executive couldn't short, buy puts, buy a cashless collar, or any direct hedging strategy unless they leave the company.
Leaving the company has its own issues:
1. You may leave large unvested options and/or RSUs on the table. This is very hard and nearly impossible for most people to stomach. Golden handcuffs.
2. If you do leave, you are still not free and clear to do as you please with your stock. If your stock is unregistered, you must ask the company and its investor team, legal team, transfer agent, and often the SEC for authorization to deposit the stock into a trading account.
Finally, for any significant equity position, there are significant tax consequences to each strategy. Read about people being underwater on taxes after exercising ISOs during the dotcom bubble.
I think the world would be a better place if everyone, especially MBA's had at least some knowledge of programming. With the state of the job market in the US, wouldn't it be wise to require even two years of programming in high school?
I used to work with at least a couple dozen MBA's from 1 school, they gave me this advice for bus school:
1) don't lose your coding skills (I was good at perl/awk, APL, C and Fortran). This I did
2) concentrate on linear algebra, stats/prob, calculus (this i didn't)
3) take law school classes (this i did, they were gnarly)
tl;dr your 2nd year you can do pretty much whatever you want. You can make it a profoundly intellectual experience, or start your business, or whatever
This is exactly what I did. I treat the MBA as just another tool. Started a business sadly it failed after a couple years, but I just moved out to SF last week and loving it. As an engineer with an MBA that can code well, does stats, and took a handful of law classes it's a seller's market.
I did my PhD at Stanford and took all three classes. DB is a more fundamental class, and probably easier. AI and ML are both great but they are designed to be taken in sequence with AI first then ML (which is a sub-field of AI).
>However, those topics are also easier to learn and understand on your own without guidance.
Yeah, by 'those topics' I meant the ones covered in the DB course, not the other two. Most aspiring programmers usually find relational theory and XML relatively easy to grok.
Thanks for your help! The syllabus for DB isn't up yet at my University, so I can't give more details [1]. But given that you say DB should be easier, and that I can take it at my school, I think I should take AI. Besides--I had the same gut feeling.
[1] writing this I now realize I could easily get last year's course, but I'm satisfied with my current decision
Take a look at http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com I think the interface is a bit cleaner, plus they include states and countries as well as cities. This site is also the result of HN's weekend challenge.
It looks like in November/December the rate among grades 7-11 was almost 3x the rate of those ages 35-39.

Also, most schools were closed from the beginning of January to March.
