Lead was added to gasoline since the 1920s. The first clinical studies that showed it was toxic were in 1969. The first country to ban it completely was Japan in 1986 and the last was Algeria in 2021. For more than a decade, people could have made a similar claim to yours, "if such an effect were true, we would have banned it already". And they would have been wrong, the effect was true.

I'm not educated on the subject. Why can't Cuba import the fertilizer and build the machines? There are open source blueprints, like the Global Village Construction Set.

I caved in and bought Premium (currently in the free trial month). It greatly enhanced the experience on my phone as well, plus I do most of my learning on youtube, so given how valuable it is for me, I don't mind paying.

The article is interesting on its own, but giving it a clickbaity title goes against the HN guidelines.

I got along well with my dad but not with my mom. Thanks, that approach seems the best course of action.

Right now some people can send messages even during the pomodoro sessions, so it doesn't do what it advertises.

I doubt I can be productive at programming if I have to be interrupted every 20, 8 and 2 minutes to adjust my stance. Every time I tried that I failed. Should I keep trying?

You're saying it doesn't make sense to solve problems in interviews, but you're not saying why.

It makes a lot of sense to solve problems in interviews, the interviewer gets to see your thought process and it prevents cheating by getting someone else to solve the problem. Furthermore, unlike talking about past projects, the interviewer can compare the answers of different candidates on the same problem.

Yes, but of all the cities in Eastern Europe, it's the least livable. Even Baku is better.

The reason the trend line drops over 60 is that there are fewer people over 60 taking the test and thus, the questionable responses have a bigger influence. If you sample less from that cohort, it will be less likely that your sample is representative.
