I don't know about respect. The data is on persistence of status. They can do this in many countries, those are just two I remember (besides England). Direct records of ancestry are too scattered to piece together long…
Yes. The political point being made with this history is different too, it's one of pride, not shame. It's "Our great ancestors were nice social democrats, too! Unlike your cold-war army, grandpa, they let woman have…
Yes to slavery being widespread in Europe of the dark ages. The church had something to do with its demise but I'm not sure it's one papal edict. Economics too. But if "late Middle Ages" means say the time of the black…
Clark finds this pattern in most societies, IIRC Sweden and China have (in his data) almost identical rates of status persistence. It's not a quirk of English manners. What varies more is the degree to which ordinary…
They also aren't a useful rhetorical foil for any present-day arguments. In none of their former territory can you make political hay by deflecting present-day problems onto those particular earlier rulers. That's…
I'm not sure that the value of the art was the supposed justification. Not an expert, but I thought they were just arguing for freedom, that children ought to be free to consent to things, not just that great artists…
And, does the severity of your case depend strongly on your dose? This could have been extremely interesting early on. If it turned out that (say) severe cases in young people required a huge does, then it might have…
Yes I mostly agree, it does set a good precedent, even if all it now gives us is "normal science" data. Would like to understand better how much of the time was needed to ramp up production. My assumption was that…
Title should (IMO) contain "human challenge". Most vaccine trials have involved humans, but none have involved deliberate exposure, i.e. "challenge". Seems crazy this took so long. Why didn't this happen last summer?
"begs the question" is another phrase whose meaning is now in the uncertain zone, by the same process.
It is exciting. But what's a bit unclear (to me) is how re-usable safety testing is. Are we going to arrive at stage where we can "push to production" after this 48 hour design phase, or are we going to need…
It's clearly no a silver bullet. There may be opportunities for more blue-collar variants. I'm trying to think where but there was some program to hire former soldiers as teachers, which is a bit like that.
Failure is a pretty strong word, they all went on to do other things, better paid, they had options. They tried to teach, for a while, because they wanted to. My point is just that they all underestimated how difficult…
Anecdotally, all my over-educated friends who tried to take up teaching (after something else) gave up. Citing this reason, and sometimes the level of bureaucracy.
Because it's a mixture. Some rowdy kids are just bored sick, and can't see any point in memorising crap for another stupid exam. These same people might really benefit (let's say, HN) finding out there is more to coding…
I don't think the claim is that this is an untapped source of cheap labor. More that it's a (potential) source of inspiration, direction, contacts, knowledge. High school students have spent their entire lives inside…
I presume GP meant that keeping an unruly high-school class on track is... a skill you won't develop in most workplaces. Not literal "babysitting", but a large part of what teachers do, orthogonal to actually conveying…
Presumably GP's plan would be most useful for high-school students. Exposure to teachers who'd had varied & interesting careers outside the school system could be great for those within sight of leaving it. Maybe…
I think "selection" is the short answer. If you can, by any means, arrange to have a class of better-behaved more-interested children, then you can save money. First, you can pay the teachers less, because the job is…
Ideally, we would think of this as getting a second use for your heating fuel. Between being mined and being burned, it's temporarily used to let you cary milk home from the store.
What this means is that the US has replaced its common-law adversarial criminal justice system, with something completely different. Almost completely, and with very little debate. No referendum, no constitutional…
But it did take 400 years more technology than what Cortez had. The Zulu army was not a walk-over in the mid-19th C, although 50 years later (with gatling guns) it would have been.
That sounds in a way the best case scenario, not to need anything from school. (Although not the one which schools should be designed around.) Or do you think that a better-designed school could have pushed you further,…
I don't know either, but lots of stuff in hospitals is disposable, because this is easier than figuring out a system to disinfect & re-use it. Although perhaps that makes more sense in an operating theatre than many of…
If you "maxed out the math curriculum", then surely you got some idea that you enjoyed logic, and were better than average at solving puzzles? Presumably writers seldom end up writing about the texts they studied in…
