What is there in your main point that needs "refuting"? Putting ordinary students in schools optimized for the gifted is no better than demolishing schools for special needs students and sending the children to regular schools regardless of the consequences.

In what way would it possibly benefit a typical student to be placed in a school where they can't keep up? How would it feel for that child to be in an environment where it's normal for their peers to take college courses before reaching high school age? In my experience, it's extremely demotivating and leads to a lot of pain for the child, no matter how wealthy his or her parents may be.

As justin_vanw pointed out (in an undeservedly flagged sibling post), it seems an awful lot like you deny the existence of gifted children to begin with.

The US Navy has gone back to having navigators manually calculate positions using sextants as a backup to GPS so I doubt there is any manning savings there. They expect that in any major conflict the GPS satellites could be jammed or destroyed.

That VMX is seriously unfriendly toward full exits to user mode. I have some ideas to mitigate this. Intel could step up and fix it easily if they cared to.

For those unfamiliar with the issue: in a hypervisor like KVM on arcane hardware like x86, switching from guest mode to host kernel mode is considerably faster than switching from guest mode to host user mode. The reason you'd expect is that guest -> host user involves going to host kernel first and then to host user, but the actual kernel->user transition uses SYSRET and is very fast. The problem is that, in VMX (i.e., Intel's VM extensions), a guest exit kicks you back to the host with a whole bunch of the host control register state badly corrupted. To run normal kernel code, the host only needs to fix up some of the state, but to go all the way to user mode, the kernel needs to fix up the state completely, and Intel never tried to optimize control register programming, so this takes a long time (several thousand cycles, I think). I don't know if SVM (AMD's version) is much better.

As just one example, many things on x86 depend on GDTR, the global descriptor table register. VMX restores the GDTR base address on VM exit, but it doesn't restore the GDTR size. Exits to host user mode need to fix up the size, and writing to GDTR is slow.

How hard would it be to instrument the in-kernel emulation to see which instructions matter for performance? I bet that MOV (reg to/from mem) accounts for almost all of it with ADD and maybe MOVNT making up almost all the balance. Instructions without a memory argument may only matter for exploits and for hosts without unrestricted guest mode.

Hmm. Is SYSCALL still busted? The fact that we emulate things like IRET scares me, too.

What was novel to me but seemingly obvious now that it's been pointed out is how the introduction of cars and highways created a vast oversupply of usable land that previously wasn't practical to build on because workers had no way to get to their city jobs, and that's a big part of why housing was so cheap after WWII.

Perhaps the lesson here is that if we want affordable housing, we need better forms of high-volume transportation that can move people rapidly between city centers and distant under-developed outskirts.
I'm not sure what the parallel here is, is it that a big-ass sapphire has something to do with your personal life? Does "project got pushed another two months." happen in mining? Unused PTO? Do you ever take your hard-won rocks to the guy and he tells you no, they're actually only worth 1/10th what you thought?
I really like iwantmyname.com. They sell all of the domain extension (including .io), their interface is simple and not spammy (GoDaddy is so obnoxious about upwelling), and they have nice add-ons that let you set up e.g. Heroku in one click. I'm surprised they haven't caught on more, they're really great and I've been using them for over five years.

The majority of anesthesia is routine sedation of healthy people for routine things like colon screenings. Those types of procedures are ripe for automation with systems like J&J's Sedasys cutting costs from $2000 to $200 a procedure. It was pulled off the market last year due to anesthesiologist opposition rather than problems with they system.

It seems that the barriers to automation may be more the result of strong professional associations rather than specific complexities of the job.

This summer I had huge stability issues with FF, hard to say if it was related with my macOS configuration or if it was FF's fault, but matter of the fact is I couldn't practically use FF anymore, so reluctantly I switched to Chrome for the first time ever as my primary browser. I used ungoogled-chromium for 6 months, call me old-school but I'm pretty unfazed by the so called advantages of Chrome, nothing convinced me of its superiority. So, now with this new version of FF I decided to give it back a shot as my primary browsers to see if things have improved, so far I don't have any of the previous issues but only time will tell as I keep the browser open and I add new tabs. Fingers crossed.
All scientific research should be freely available to the public, without reservation or condition.

I have my reservations about leaking political or classified information in some cases, because as Wikileaks has demonstrated, leaks can be used to push a political agenda, rather than serve the cause of unbiased truth.

But scientific knowledge benefits the progress of humanity as a whole - the truth doesn't have a political agenda, although it certainly can discredit political axioms. Trying to keep it contained, controlled or limit its access to a select few should be considered a crime against humanity.
The United States is an anomaly. It's a series of lucky breaks that resulted in an exceptional country being created and maintained.

It started as a series of colonies that could have agreed to disagree. It grew through lucky aquisition: Florida from the Spanish, Alaska from the Russians, Louisiana from the French, Texas and California from Mexico. It split up, the Confederate States left, and was unified at great risk and even greater cost. If any one of those things hadn't happened the very concept of America would be fundamentally different.

It's also a country flanked by two relatively agreeable nations, Canada and Mexico, so there's little risk of armed conflict. This gives the country disproportionate control over its home turf. Even regional powers like Germany still have to answer to their neighbours, squabbles have gotten ugly and expensive.

It was also extremely lucky to have such a ridiculous abundance of natural resources. With perhaps the exception of Canada, and to a degree Russia no other country in the world has massive reserves of fresh water, prime agricultural land, lumber, fish, coal, copper, iron, oil, nuclear fuel, and a long list of other things. Name a resource and the US probably has it in a massive quantity. I don't think most Americans realize how blessed their country is.

It's amazing how much political cohesion you can have when resources are abundant, cheap, and there's no reason to fight over them. This could change as fresh water becomes more scarce and states start to bicker over who gets what. When there's not enough to go around things could get very, very ugly and America's entire character could change.

Schools need to have extra classes, extra-curricular classes, etc based on set of similarly gifted students' abilities, or based on set of similarly non-gifted/regular students' lack-of-abilities to improve their abilities. If needed, eligible volunteer or paid teacher should be arranged on specific time. A separate school for gifted students or a separate school for regular/non-gifted students is very-bad/non-gifted idea w/evil & ineffective motives.
That robot performs sedation, not general anaesthesia. Sedation provides a slight depression in awareness and pain sensation, and is much easier than full general anaesthesia, in which the patient is completely paralysed, unconscious, and insensate. General Anaesthesia generally requires intubation, a complex practical procedure which can go wrong very quickly, and kill people very quickly. It requires close monitoring of numerous parameters, some of which are digital measures (blood pressure, heart rate, etc) but others are quite subjective, such as the patient's appearance and the current stage of the surgical procedure.

The claim that this device is a replacement for an anaesthatist is similar to claiming that an automated wheel balancing machine will one day replace car mechanics. Certainly it can perform one specific component of one kind of anaesthesia, but it is far cry from the full skill set of an anaesthatist.

Things to keep in mind:

- In the US, the CFAA has language that may or may not be relevant [1]. This isn't intended to be FUD, although I can understand if you think so. As with most legal things, don't believe me -- a random guy -- on the internet; ask a lawyer, or at the very least be aware of your risks.

- Check license and terms, if included. Reddit post claims these [2] are terms, seems okay, but I have not confirmed this for myself.

- FTP is unencrypted and non-tamperproof, so data integrity and data authenticity, and connection privacy isn't guaranteed. And because the original source did not publish checksums over a secure channel, there is no way to know whether these files are the originals. It will be difficult to prove the provenance and accuracy of the data, despite having lots of third-party copies, without the original source having safeguarded the strong cryptographic checksums the entire time, or having published them over a tamperproof channel.

It's Google's A/B experiment framework that runs on production traffic and allows you to slice by various attributes and apply experimental models to the slice.
Note that the natural science doesn't work as "proving the theorems" (mathematics even isn't natural science) but as "establishing the facts." It's like a doing the detective work, collecting "exhibits" and then bringing it to the jury, the jury then can decide which exhibits are valid etc.

The jury is the total community of the scientists who devoted their lives to learn as much as possible about the topics they judge.

The bag won't produce any heat but it would prevent the heat from your body to dissipate as it would otherwise, effectively warming you up. The same way function the greenhauses. CO2 has that effect for Earth, known since 1824 and elaborated since.
Should I know who Erik Ficthner is? Is he an NOAA scientist? From what I heard on NPR this morning and a nytimes piece, the Trump administration doesn't seem to be doing anything unusual. I thought it was customary for the incoming administration to make sure the agency is all on the same page. I'm getting hysteria fatigue, I think.
Torrents are a good stepping stone to a more permanent archive but they fundamentally depend on seeders. Likewise Glacier depends on Amazon not being raided by the Feds. I know that sounds totally insane, but we're living in totally insane times.

It needs to be on hardware an organization like the Internet Archive controls or at least ordains. We're talking bunkers in Sweden or Iceland or some country with the political backbone to defend this sort of scientific data.
Because it paints a nice target upon which the gatekeepers can set law enforcement.
Amazon did sacrifice their customer base for growth. They integrated 3rd party sellers without demanding similar levels of quality. So, now their customers buy some grey market and a lot of flat out defective and counterfeit goods.

Have you heard the story of Aaron Swartz? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
I had come to similar conclusions about doctors but after interacting with a few doctors closely, my perspectives changed. This is in India though where the regulatory environment is a lot different.

Per my interaction, the best doctors will do whatever it takes to improve their efficiency. Their biggest problem is the sheer volume of patients. Everyone wants to go to the best doc, and word spreads pretty fast. If you start doing good, very soon you are swarmed with patients 24/7. So any tool that can speed up their patient handling time is welcome. This is not a scheduling problem. People built a ton of scheduling tools and those tools have done next to nothing to move the efficiency needle.

What's needed is, what you said, a diagnostic tool with automated feedback from patient's activities and dramatic physiological changes. The best doctors that I know will take it up in a heart beat.

It's not even that I was using unsigned extensions before I switched to Pale Moon. It's more that I was tweaking a good portion of the extensions I did use by popping open the xpi if required, changing a bit, then loading again.

Hey, I never said people are doing it right.

React completely removes the need for jQuery if you're using it correctly, because you should rarely if ever touch the DOM, and jQuery is... a DOM manipulation library.
I don't think so. jQuery was intended to be a cross-browser approach to JavaScript that just works. It does but if you check out MDN docs, you'll find that now days, vanilla just works really well and ES6/7 have great features. Modern browsers have aggressive updates that are simple to apply. It isn't the same anymore. Also, doing actual apps is way easier with React or Vue, even on small scales.

The first thing I did when I bought my home was fix the "problem" that made it sit on the market so long and sell for a discount.

Gratuitous misquoting by the Independent here: "But she also acknowledges that some passwords were obtained using the kind of phishing methods that hackers use to dupe people out of financial information." based on the quote "It may be well possible that phished passwords ended up being used at Sci-Hub. I did not send any phishing emails to anyone myself." I don't understand how an editor at a major publication allows claims/spin like this with no concrete evidence unless they are explicitly pushing an agenda (I agree that phishing is at least probable in this case; it also may be an excuse to protect those in the password database if it's ever leaked). Wholly fact-based media seems impossible to find these days.

You can customize it quite a bit, dead zones, sensitivity curves, etc. But its just not the same as aiming with a mouse in a FPS. Twitchy games are basically impossible with the controller.
Yes, they can, but you can only create "muscle memory" by practice. And practice includes reading cases, trying to figure things out and getting it wrong, discussing how to do it and so on.

You can read a hundred books about coding, but until you actually try, you don't really know anything.

So a technical background with an MBA can be a killer combination. You know how things work across the company, and that gives you a huge edge over everyone else.

Mirroring US climate data
These agencies exist as an extension of the executive branch of government. Having them run independently with their own policy agendas can be just as dangerous or economically limiting depending on the policy positions of the time. Lucky for us, since we don't live under a regime, these policy changes allow us to refocus our efforts where necessary. I have a biotech friend who says that new grant directions will likely be directed towards infrastructure and defense. What is striking to me is that there is agreement that climate change can be a geopolitical issue multiplier. Effects on agriculture, ability of diseases to spread in a warming climate, mass migrations, loss of clean water, inevitable natural disaster relief expenses increasing. The evidence shows that this sort of thing should be considered a national security issue.
