With the resources available now, a student can get that top-quality education. There are tons of hybrid homeschool programs and in CA we have the k12 program (k12.com). It isn't totally left up to the parent like it was back in the 70's.

It is not right for everyone but your stereotype of homeschoolers not receiving top-quality education doesn't really hold much weight. Recent studies show that homeschoolers are actually outperforming public schools.

Some stats that may be of interest http://www.home-school.com/news/homeschool-vs-public-school....
By the way I just realized... kids do not believe in Santa Claus. WE make them believe in it. Big difference. And in fact in some parenting circles, it is suggested that you should never tell such stories to your children.

This is another big debate altogether and I genuinely have no interest in debating that. Just threw it out there because it sounds like you lump together things that are very different from one another.

In a interview with cuban I read.. half the deals don't go through after due diligence.

I'm sure it's hard to find companies for the show, and it would be harder to find them if you did due diligence first.
> You can usually at least be sure the parents give some kind of shit about the kids...

Usually, yes, but not always. For the most part, you can often expect that the parents who homeschool care about their kids (though you can't even be totally sure of that...)
Yeah - I was just ribbin' ya a little.

> Of course; my point is (and I assume that's also the point of other people who assert similar stances on the topic) that the average programmer or software engineer should leave these things to recognized cryptographers.

If "crypto is for cryptographers" is your stance I think you're doing yourself a disservice. Understanding crypto, as in learning the foundations of it, is important for everyone. Having a good grasp of cryptography helps with making decisions in your code base w.r.t to how you use cryptography primitives and tends to help you in identifying places where it's gone wrong.

I agree that it's easy to get these things wrong but I don't think that's a very good reason not to try to write or read up on the subject. And yes, it's possible that what you get taught might have holes too. But it's easier to fix these holes, for example by having discussions around the topic with others and validating what you're being taught, than acquiring the knowledge to begin with.

Now the author in question (lvh) is also known for their contributions to caesium (Clojure implementation of libsodium/NaCl) and Python Cryptographic Authority's cryptography library. They've got some solid chops in the area but make of it what you will.

That said, rolling your own crypto should be left to cryptographers with extensive peer reviewing and so on.

I am from Brazil, where there is a large divide in quality of public schools and private schools.

I went to private schools, and envied the columbine guys, when it hit the news, I wanted to do the same. (happily, I didn't).

Still, friend I had (outside of school) that went to public schools, were real Lord of the Flies material:

* One friend I had, once was assaulted by 3 bullies using their school scissors as a weapon, he reacted by bashing the head of one of them in using his skateboard, hitting his skull with the skateboard wheel supports.

* Another friend of mine broke someone jaw with a fire extinguisher in a school brawl.

And even in my private school:

* Some dude threw my sister into a construction area, after that she started to walk with a non-optical mouse ball in her pocket, she knocked a guy with it once after the guy stole her lunch.

* A kid from first grade made a hole in another kid skull using one of those traditional spinning tops made of wood and nail, this resulted in a spinning top ban.

* After the spinning top ban, the popular toy became yoyo, that also became banned after a kid tried to strangle another with the string.

* Metal rulers were forbidden, it is because some years earlier, before I joined the school, a group of kids figured they could sharpen the rulers until they were sharp, use them as swords, and steal all other kids, including much older ones, money.

And then we have incidents like this:

* Teacher in my high-school had some quirky behaviour regarding emergency staircase, later another teacher told us he witnessed a student jump from it headfirst in a fashion that made brain splatter all over the place.

* One of the highlights of my high-school principal career, is that when he was teacher in another school, one of his students put a bomb in a bathroom that was so strong the toilet he wanted to explode made a hole in the ceiling above.

* Kid got kicked out of school after arriving 6:30 in the morning blind drunk, got in a brawl with other students, and destroyed half of the desks in a classroom.

* Whole city was hit hard by the news that a group of 15 year old kids organized a massive party, then when it was time to leave one of them decided to drive home drunk, despite mininum driving age being 18 anyway, crashed, and killed himself, 2 more students, and left two others paraplegic.

And all that is from a relatively wealthy place, poorer areas we had kids murdering each other and teachers without even hitting the news.

And now some recent news about school incident, in portuguese, so you might need google translate:

Agreed that the title is wrong.

Is there a word for not just playing down someone else's success, but denigrating it?

I'm not sure where this conversation is going. :) I think I resonate/agree with your entire upper part. At least, I find myself nodding my head a lot.

For the criticism of age of static analysis tool. This criticism doesn't make sense. I could make the same criticism for a 26ish+ year old and insanely complicated language toolchain (Haskel). And that is if I just pick the popular one. I could go with your example, Ada, for a 36+ year old option.

If the criticism is simply due to the proprietary nature. That cuts against much of your upper argument. The lack of money in the field is a large part of the problem.

We don't have democracy, we have liberal democracy there is a significant distinction. People have lost faith in liberal democracy because they feel it's no longer looking out for their interests but the interest of the minority. Whether that's the rich or other groups, for the lower classes this is framed as a racial struggle. The issue is not that they have no experience with other forms, it's that liberal democracy is suppose to protect the minority from the majority, but it seems the opposite problem is now the case. The majority feels it needs to be protected from the minority.

Either the system caters to that, or people are going to rebel. You need to protect the minority because they are good for the economy and the masses. Until the masses no longer feel that this is the case. That's what the so-called pseudo-elite don't understand. The relationship is one of power sharing, not of ownership. This is not a normative statement, this is a realist statement. This is how things work in the real world.

We have no experience with this, other than perhaps Fascism, because liberal democracy has not had this problem before. In that there has been constant growth and therefore employment for its entire history, sharing the power between minority and majority. You can close your eyes to this, but if you have a bunch of unemployed people that feel dis-empowered as a group they are going to react. First they are going to react by electing the likes of Trump. When that doesn't work they are going to react with force. Unless you do something about the way that they feel about the political situation.

As Mark Cuban said, money makes everything better. They don't have money, they are reacting.

But it can be a rough time for homeschoolers, too. In particular, it can be very lonely. (Worse than in public school? Maybe not, but still not wonderful.)
One of the things about releasing source code under various licenses is that it can’t be made purposely difficult to maintain: e.g. you can’t release obfuscated garbage that “technically” compiles into the binary that you released, you must release the code that you actually maintain so any type of modification is feasible.

Why doesn’t that also apply when there are rules about “removing” things? It could be extremely difficult to figure out all the places that specify something, especially if the wording is not absolutely consistent. I would hate to fix 99 of them and still be sued by missing the 100th.

If a project wants to have a rule like this then they should say exactly how to comply. For example, don’t say “you must remove”; say “to replace the trademark, edit script_that_everything_uses_to_set_this”, or “here is the exhaustive list of files to change when replacing the trademark”, or whatever.

It's disingenuous for the authors to claim this is a near "drop-in" replacement for React. Just because it works now for (likely) some limited surface area test app doesn't mean it will work in all of React's weird nooks and cranes, or its constantly changing APIs or huge stack of dependent behaviors it has inherited from its ever-changing dependencies.

Clearly, the authors don't have much experience in this regard to make such claims. Caveat emptor.

Mark Shuttleworth has told me that they assert copyright over all their binaries and that this restriction is intended to apply regardless of trademarks.
Also, I REALLY hate that link you posted. It's my observation that this sort of propaganda does far more harm than good.

Kids are smart. Claims that "marijuana and drinking are bad" tend to only have the effect of discrediting the speaker. Those claims are mostly specious, and kids know how to use Google. Citing something like "68% of 12th graders have tried alcohol" in a page decrying substance abuse makes one look like a scare mongering idiot. Seriously, these are 18 year olds -- that number is almost certainly close to 100% in a lot of developed countries.

But kids are also stupid. If you go on to tell them "binge drinking is bad, avoid it" or "prolonged marijuana use really can cause serious harm", they'll extrapolate that you're BSing them about that too.

Basically, scare mongering about any drug use only has the effect of making it far harder to warn kids about actual dangers.
I was trying to disprove "We struggle to get people to move to Iowa because of the cold winters" , by showing a place with harsher winters and a lot more migrants.

Maybe Canada is a much better example. People don't go to Iowa because of immigration policies, not because of the weather.

If Iowa had a policy similar to Quebec's, it would be flooded with migrants. Especially if it's doing as well as you say :)

I strongly doubt anyone but explorer-types will go to Titan in the extreme hypothesis that it becomes settled sometime soon, unless it becomes an Alberta or Alaska type with some very profitable natural resource.

An insinuation on top of an insinuation. I'm asking you be more specific about "what you mean".
If you want something like that, why not just use a different language? Why should a language drop all of it's basic fundamental syntax? PHP should be PHP, not turn into VB/ASP.Net/ES6/Java whatever other syntax and notations and stuff people enjoy from other languages.

That's like having a son, growing up as a male, maturing, and then saying "I want you to also be a female now" - if you want a daughter, have another child.
The author's perception is that Mark Cuban, in agreeing to do that deal, is bound by contract to invest in someone now alleged to be committing fraud, and is therefore "screwed." However, there are almost certainly clauses that any deal on Shark Tank is subject to diligence after the deal is made. Maybe, and I'm just hypothesizing here, there are even punitive terms that if due diligence falls apart, they need to pay the production company in exchange for the exposure... in which case, it is the entrepreneur here who would be royally screwed!

From the production company's perspective, why bother doing due diligence beforehand if it still makes for good television, and they're protected in a downside case? The true sharks are the ones who build the tank.

For gifted children such as yourself, a top-quality education is much more likely via homeschooling than public schools.

Everyone I know who homeschools thinks the same thing at first: "How will I teach my child subjects I don't understand?" There are many surprising answers, actually!

1. You will learn alongside your child. A rewarding part of homeschooling is that you continue your own education. You will learn many subjects more deeply than you would have otherwise.

2. You will provide resources for your child to teach themselves. As your children learn to learn, they will tackle many difficult subjects on their own using textbooks, pre-recorded courses, and other materials.

3. Others will help teach them. Successful homeschoolers don't do it alone. They find peers, form co-ops, and/or utilize tutors or community resources. Many homeschoolers take lots of college courses online or at local universities as they enter their early high school years.
You absolutely can deduce those laws, which is what Solomonoff induction does [1]. It's been formally proven to converge on reproducing the correct function in the limit.

> Since only one of the two versions is the one running the universe, but it is not possible to determine which one, therefore the inhabitants of the Universe cannot deduce the laws that govern them: for the first 35 bn years the two universes are bit for bit identical.

Correct, until they're not, at which point you can distinguish them. Until then, you prefer the laws whose axiomatic complexity is lower. It's basically a formalization of Occam's razor.

You are right. I'd have held out and seen if it's a huge success and then enforce the agreement. Revenge is best served cold.
Maybe? Consciousness is pretty ill defined. If you define it such that it can be measured, then the measurement answers the question. If you define it such that it cannot be measured, then I think it's kind of meaningless.
Could this maybe because their democracy ratio defined as:

This can easily cause people to become reliant on an unearned default acceptance, confirmation, and praise from others.

This makes so much sense of so many of the interactions I've had with younger people! Look at games nowadays. 80's arcade games used to pretty much throw you into the pool, and leave it up to you to swim. (Granted, they threw you into the shallow end.) Now, it seems like games hold your hand and praise you for every action you take.

The thing is I've read the "deals" made on the show are not binding. Afterwards, they perform diligence.

On air, they say "I'll fund you for $500k...!" with "...after we vet everything you just pitched." being left for after the cameras are switched off.

There have been lawsuits around this that came to that conclusion. Though I may be misremembering it and am not really feeling like looking it up.
I think I'd rather trust the parents, but I think you get no guarantees with either group.
The tendency is there even if it doesn't go as far as Lord of the Flies. I work at a boys school for gifted students. They are all smart and they are usually well behaved as individuals, but if they get in an unsupervised group, things can go badly rather quickly. That is why we do our best to make sure they are never unsupervised.
> Sharks get to do due diligence after the deal is made.

Correct. And in many episode's they also said how some shark "backed out after agreeing verbally to a deal during the taping of the show.
You got a priviledged education (there are public schools and there are public schools), and assume one is available for every child, if not for their evil parent preventing them to attend to.

Also, you fail to take into account that with today's Internet, there's a miriad of resources that any reasonably intelligent parent can leverage to educate their kids in subjects outside of their are of expertise. It really would be easier for your parents to pull it off today, had they been so inclined (and been born 35 years later, of course)
That's why I claim near rather than perfect. It's a constant work in progress, that's the challenge :)
The latter two are arguable. Is it really the same IP and organization? And how much of that IP is her personal experience? Do investors really have claim to that?

I agree she handled this very poorly, but just trying to look at the other side. Is she really so stupid to literately pitch the same exact company on TV, just with the LA changed to Global in the name?

It's possible she is, but starting from that assumption is an excuse to avoid thinking, in my opinion.
