Hmm. That's an interesting idea. How would the phone and the PC work together, though? I could see it work if they were all the same architecture. Then you're just adding more ram and cores.

Actually, the ram could be an issue. For example, say you're running a video editing program that's using 15gb of ram and you want to undock. You'd need some way of storing the state of the program and the ram its using when it's not docked. Either that or you'd be forced to shut it down completely.
Thanks for the tips, my idea is that, at least for tech news, I should be able to get enough stories from just one place, not having to go through multiple apps to get a grasp of whats going on out there... and maybe in a future include other categories and not just tech.

I also like the idea of pulling the stories from aggregators as its stuff that people is explicitly expressing interest for.

It seems that the problem in this case is not the homeschooling, but the parents. It's certainly true that neither homeschooling nor public schooling would be able to prevent a parent abusing their child. Perhaps the next step should be "public parenting", if parents can't be trusted to act in the best interests of the child...but we already have this (social services, foster care), and I suspect a much higher proportion of publicly schooled children end up in foster care than homeschooled children. However, I've never seen any research data on that. If you don't mind talking about it, roughly what proportion of the kids you interacted with in the foster system had been homeschooled?

That's a very simplistic and primitive way to look at it. For one, there are more and wealthier people involved so the costs are shared. Profits are also bigger, because the UK is better connected, so the increased investment costs are acceptable.

"In the cases of a disagreement deadlock you need someone to break the deadlock."

97% of the time consensus driven decision making means no deadlock and the other 3% of the time you can put decisions to a vote.

I've seen more value destroyed by a team lead inappropriately setting the wrong agenda than I have by team members not knowing when to shut up.

If anything I've found that there's often too much consensus (people who just go with the flow rather than voicing an opinion).
I am glad to see this rise in people who are actively realizing that BBC News is State Media.

>The inner city schools?

I could comment this with my own perspective fairly extensively, but quite honestly every time I give some kind of personal experience in this thread it's just met with snark, and every time I ask for objective evidence I get some "why trust some jackass's study" type of response. But, in my own experience, schools, even in the "inner city" (which just seems to be kind of key word for an aggregate of poorly functioning schools, or a poorly functioning student population), can still offer a bit of refuge from home life. Even poorly funded schools will have some great teachers/mentors.

So let me just ask this: How is home schooling going to fix such "hellholes"? You're effectively blaming an institution on the failings of the society around it; even when that institution actually provides a constructive outlet that most likely would not have ever been provided at home. And for all it's tasked with doing, this institution by the way, continues to be constrained by people who seem to hate it.

That is a slick platform they've built, but I still don't see how it is competitive with Linux for very low latencies. He mentions trading at microseconds, but we're building microwave radio networks to trade at nanoseconds. Unless this has changed extremely recently, Solaris/Illumos and hence SmartOS still don't have tickless kernels. I recall Solaris having a 100hz tick by default which you could change to 1000hz with a special boot flag. Linux has had dynticks since fairly early 2.6 kernels and with the modern 3.x kernels (RHEL7+), you've got full on tickless via the nohz_full options. Without this, the kernel interrupts the application to use cpu time.

Additionally, I don't believe (Experts please correct me if this is wrong) SmartOS has an equivalent to Linux's isolcpus boot command line flag (or cpu_exclusive=1 if you're in a cpuset) to remove a cpu core entirely from the global scheduler domain. This prevents any tasks from running on that CPU, including kernel threads. Kernel threads will still occasionally interrupt applications if you simply set the affinity on pid 1 so that does't count.

These two features, along with hardware that is configured to not throw SMIs, allow Linux to get out of the way of applications for truly low latency. As far as I'm aware, this is impossible to do in Solaris/SmartOS. I'm not even getting into the SLUB memory allocator being better or the lazy TLB in Linux massively lowering TLB shootdowns, etc, etc. There is a reason why virtually every single major financial exchange in the world runs Linux (CME in Chicago, NYSE/NYMEX in New York, LSE in London, and Xetra in Frankfurt), it is better for the low latency use case.

Yup, I've volunteered in one of these schools, and totally agree with your assessment.

That said, these really are the worst of the worst. Even most city schools have far more functional social scenes.

OT, but FWIW I've never really known what "inner city" means. Is it just code for "bad"? In most cities, there are definitely vast socio-economic geographic differences within the city, but those geographies aren't layered. So "inner" and "outer" doesn't describe them.

Perhaps back it up to network in that state in case I plug into a different dock next time.

I'm ok with having cars drive through the area. I just don't approve of people leaving them idle on the street. Taxis, Ubers, and black cars aren't parking. Delivery trucks are stopping, but only for a few minutes. A third (or more) of the street space is devoted to vehicles that aren't in use. Those cars could be placed in garages or parked on the street in another part of town where the owner can subway to where they're going.

Ideally, streets would be used only by pedestrians, but I acknowledge that's not feasible.

Oh really, tons of bike lanes? Well, there are at least an order of magnitude more car lanes than bike lanes, so surely reallocating some of them for bikes will be no problem then, since there's a veritable smorgasbord of space for cars as it is. Bike lanes can handle much higher peak loads of people, so they're a more efficient use of space.

> Most New Yorker's don't drive - they walk, bike, take the train, or taxi/uber.

Yes, and those non-car modes should obviously have more surface space. If way more New Yorkers walk than drive, why is there more street space for cars than peds?

> Don't you think if the answers were this simple someone would have done this already?

No. Politically it can be very difficult to take space away from cars, even when it's obviously the right thing to do.

To make use of Segwit wallet software must upgrade to support it, that is a lot of work for Wallets Devs that generally are not getting paid for their work.

It is arriving as a soft fork to get round cores instances that hard forks cannot happen (even tho other cryptos have done it. Eth/XMR). The soft fork is not backwards compatible and bits exchanged by segwit will only be protected by segwit enabled nodes but in fairness with a 95% activation threshold that will be 95% of the network.

We have a number of mining pools now stating that they will not run segwit without a hard fork for a block size increase, the est hashrate is 10-15% that will refuse to run it, this will either mean core need to change their 95% requirement OR simply say no block size increase and no segwit.

Personally and sadly if bitcoin cannot grow past its current limits, I do not believe it will keep its first mover position.

I'm currently studying at Tsinghua University in Beijing (one of China's top universities), and all of my Chinese friends here seem to be very clear about what their government is doing. The one Communist party member I met so far told me they're only a party member because they were made to join in high school, when they didn't yet know what any of that was about, and now didn't want to pay the fee to leave. Of course, I'm living in a campus bubble of the country's English-speaking elite (unfortunately, I'm not yet fluent at Mandarin).

I'm curious what this divide in perception between the well-educated elite and the non-English speaking majority means for China's future.

The best platforms for this sort of research in the US are internal proprietary toolkits of health insurance companies, auditing companies, and law firms. The profit motives of the US health care system don't currently incentivize putting these platforms to use for science, they are mostly used for (re-) billing.

(Source: Worked for an auditing/law firm company deep on their platform once. Have friends still in health insurance/auditing/law firms.)

As for an anecdotal positive experience, one of my friends working for a health insurance company did find a correlation in lack of remissions of a very specific form of cancer and the use of a prescription drug by datamining health insurance records and helped publish that as a cure for that very specific cancer.

But given the way the industries are incentivized and fight among each other and fail to cooperate, I fear I have plenty more negative anecdotes than positive ones of things researched on top of these walled garden platforms.
> But, in my own experience, schools, even in the inner city, can still offer a bit of refuge from home life

> How is home schooling going to fix such "hellholes"?

If a family has an adult in the house hold who can stay home and educate the children, then they're definitely not living in these neighborhoods in the first place.

And in any case, that family would be much better off if the second parent works so that the family can move to a better neighborhood.
