makemoniesonlinon California’s new law bans schools from starting before 8am

Because it is tough for high school students to fall asleep early enough.

"In the teenage years, the hormonal response to the 24-hour daily light/dark exposure that influences circadian rhythm is altered, making adolescents physiologically yearn to stay awake later at night and to remain asleep later in the day."

>>after taxes you’re still making a million or so a year depending where you live, so still safely a millionaire and thus rich (two commas club).
A millionaire just has a net worth greater than or equal to a million dollars. They don't need to have an after-tax income greater than or equal to a million dollars.

makemoniesonlin on Ask HN: High functioning alcoholism – anyone?

Not sure where you are getting "four to five bottles." He said half a bottle to a bottle, so he's likely drinking around 3.5 to 4 bottles per week.

makemoniesonlin on Ask HN: High functioning alcoholism – anyone?

The guidelines are arbitrary and not based on anything scientific. Stop mentioning them like if he cuts down to 14 units, he's not harming himself, but if he only cuts down to, say, 17 units, he still harming himself.

makemoniesonlin on Ask HN: High functioning alcoholism – anyone?

Yes, the guidelines for safe amount of units per week are basically arbitrary and not based on anything scientific, and vary a lot by country. [1]
For example, where I am from, Canada, the Canada Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines state that men should limit their intake to 15 drinks per week, where a drink is defined as 12 oz of 5% beer, 5 oz of 12% wine, or 1.5 oz of 40% spirit.
OP would hardly be exceeding the guidelines if he was from Canada, and not exceeding the guidelines if he was from Fiji.
This is why merely looking at the guidelines is dumb instead of the many other visible factors (personal relationships, weight, athletic performance, academics, etc.)

makemoniesonlin on Study: people who grow up poor have a harder time regulating their food intake

This study is dumb. I grew up in upper middle class and have no problem controlling my food intake (I almost have a six pack).
However, whenever there is an abundance of snacks out for eating without any limits, I will go crazy and consume upwards of 2000 calories. I surely would have not been able to regulate my food intake during this experiment, even though I can in general at home.
