I don't think that is correct.
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.

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.
"Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality: results from the Melanoma in Southern Sweden cohort" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24697969/
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.

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.

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 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).

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.
Here's the author's experiences http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/weekend-challenge.html

"The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." -- Oscar Wilde
Disregarding the technical usage of the word valuation in investing, I see three ways of interpreting the terms in the argument here. The price of Facebook is 33B, simply extrapolating from the price of tiny percentages of Facebook.
The value is related to the price people are willing to pay, but is actually unknown and only exists as a prediction of future cash flows.
The worth is a more nebulous concept and related to how much Facebook improves the world.
It seems like spolsky is talking about the price, and dhh is talking about the value, and making illusions to the worth.
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.
