I have been to the science fair, and the county science fair, and the state science fair.
No, I didn’t touch my daughters project.
At county, there was an obvious element of parent projects, but judges interviewed kids and weeded out those who didn’t know much about the project. Some winners there still had obvious assists, but at least they could interview.
State was wild (CA). No parents in the hall during the day. Kids reported massive judging variations, little standardization and obvious tech bias. Her cognitive science category gave out all 3 awards for AI related projects.
Check in was insane. Allowed material were the board and a few feet of space on the table. People were pulling in with trailers. Massive arguments, tears.
Day of, kids were wearing fitted suits. Coordinated family outfits with ostentatious wealth on show. What a bizarre view of America.

Not quite. Dark forest says it’s dangerous out there, so everyone else is quiet. Not that we’re dangerous, but that we’re at risk by being noisy.
We pose no real threat to any other civilization, we can’t get to them.
It’s possible we’re being avoided because we’re loathsome in some way or various ways, but that’s not dark forest.
It’s also possible we pose a risk we don’t understand (disease, culture, loudness) so we’re avoided / quarantined, but that is also not dark forest.
More like Ostracized Planet.

Looks, there has gotta be a divide by zero in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.
But if I divide by less, Cheese = more/less cheese Which seems legit
- Comment on YSK Tempur Mattresses fail quickly and the warranty is fake 2 weeks ago:
This is another really good reason to be upset with the 10 yr warranty. It implies a longevity well beyond what this product can do.
And the waste. My god the waste. Piles upon piles of unrecyclable petroleum derived foam. Ok, in relative terms to our modern lifestyle it fits right in, but that’s not good.
And if it lasts half as long as they say, and they won’t touch it at the end of its life, what does that say?!
- Comment on YSK Tempur Mattresses fail quickly and the warranty is fake 2 weeks ago:
Fair point. It lasted 4-5 years solid. 6-8 clearly rapid failure.
Quickly is relative to the 10 year warranty.
I paid (usd 5k plus - king size) with a warranty in mind. Was told ‘our material is different, worth it’ - Full sales job. I’m technical, but details matter and they’re proprietary. I trusted the warranty + brand, which was a bad, expensive move.
Realistic expectations - memory foam lasts 4-5 years, more or less depending on pressure and humidity, and should be priced accordingly. YSK!

Thanks. Turns out I’m also mattress shopping! Appreciate the alternative option.

Turns out this is also the answer to the Fermi paradox. We’re quarantined.
- Comment on What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema? 4 weeks ago:
You should know the origin, and surprise - it’s Latin!
Per wikipedia: “The actual origin is unknown, but one of the first appearances of the word was in a second-century work by Roman physician Serenus Sammonicus… who in chapter 52 prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing Abracadabra written in the form of a triangle.[12][13]
The power of the amulet, he claimed, makes lethal diseases go away.”

You are on a tough path and I hope you succeed. Im glad to count you as a fellow citizen here and I hope it gets better for everyone here.

Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve heard of one child policy but never from a 2nd child’s perspective.
Your story is a disturbing parallel to modern immigrant stories in the US, as well as others, im sure.
Healthcare is just one step above having a safe place to be in terms of human need, but places/governments that cant meet childrens basic needs in modern society are worth shaming.

- Comment on What’s the deal with unrelated content platforms trying to add a games section? 3 months ago:
This seems like the most relevant fact that most folks dont know. Games industry is WAY bigger than streaming. Digital media companies know this, and want to get a piece of the market.
• In 2022, the global gaming industry generated an estimated $184.4 billion.
• In 2022, the global recorded music industry generated $26.2 billion.
• In 2022, the global movie industry generated $26 billion in box office revenue.
