> There sure is. For a cow to give milk, it has to be pregnant and it then has to give birth to a calf. But for you to drink the milk instead of the calf, the calf has to be taken away and be put on some other nutrition that is not it's natural nutrition (cows milk - yeah, that is what it is, growth food for a baby cow, not human food), or it has to be killed. The process is very traumatic for both the cow and the calf, and they will often be stressed and moan for weeks, except in the case of the calf that is often killed not many days old. For the cow to constantly give milk instead of only when it becomes pregnant naturally, it has to be raped by a human on a schedule so it never stops giving milk, and when the cow reaches 4-6 old, the cow is in so bad state it can't keep on producing the required amount of milk, so it is sent to a slaughterhouse and horribly killed and slaughtered. A cow will live to 20-26 years old in nature. There is nothing empathic about people thinking that cows milk is their right, even if it is killed in the most pain-free and lives with the least amount of suffering possible for it to be a dairy cow, which unfortunately is not true for more 1/10.000.000 dairy cows.

How does basic income square with competitiveness. Imagine that there is a thing called an automatable job, that is a job that can be done by a robot who is going to replace a human. Imagine you tax a company based on the number of robots they have doing automatable jobs. You take this money and you give it to former workers for free as basic income. Now the question is competitiveness. Is a company any more competitive for having automated such a job rather than letting the former worker get paid for free? How does automation square with competitiveness. I don't really think it does. Competitiveness increases are only possible in cases where there are cost savings. If there are none, then how is your company any more competitive. You might as well as let the worker keep doing the job rather than automate it. This then I think has far reaching implications about how such an economy looks like and why anyone would choose to work in such an economy... other than the fact that you let companies keep more money and give less money to unemployed workers. But that then cuts into consumption. And only enriches the small minority who already hold most of the wealth further. Sooner or later you do get to a point where no one is working and everyone is getting paid and there is little point in the economy.

Automation also makes productivity into a commodity because all machines are equally as productive. Legislations such as patents make no sense in such an arena.

When I read these types of articles and the myriad of "studies" that come out daily, I always think there's really only one way to eat as healthy as possible for the typical "urban westerner" - To eat a bit of everything, no big rules, or removing any specific food from your diet. Just integrate lots of variety and never get accustomed to consume too much of anything.

Include the notion of not being loyal to brands or geographic origin.

Examples: Don't eat too much tuna, but when you buy tuna always buy a different brand/type. When you buy meat, don't always eat beef or pork, alternate, and choose from different brands suppliers. Same with vegetables, etc.

By all means avoid sugar added / too much processed foods, I think these 2 points are above reasonable doubt today.

It's a real luxury and privilege to have access to the variety of foods we enjoy today, we should exploit it more IMHO.

Nope, we usually mean both negative and positive when talking about prime integers. Still, the question on hand is clearly restricted to the positive case, otherwise it would be trivial.

On the same note, even having picks in some locations may legally be an issue; for example, here's info on laws on a state by state basis in the US:

Thats how university accreditation is meant to work: industry and state/gov agencies are supposed to certify an institution's graduates meet certain minimum standards.

Given that university is becoming the new high-school, is there merit to the idea of just having all universities follow the same curriculum and standardised assessments and exams? Like the University of California system, but nationwide - if not international.
No, people use 'definition' in that way too.
It's a weird system, in Australia we all get a standard score on leaving high school and if your score is higher than the next person choosing your degree preference you win the spot. Different for medicine only AFAIK.

True, but there's nothing MIT can do about it except stop being MIT.

At MIT, freshman calculus (if you didn't AP out of it - which you need a 5 on the BC to do) is not one year, but one semester. Multivariate calculus is also one semester, and if you're not done with it by the end of freshman year, you're not likely to graduate.

Yes, it's unfair. But it's not MIT's fault.

Swift library for Yandex.Predictor service
Absolutely. However, because of the current issues there are a lot of politics involved in education, so it's hard to change anything. For example, even if you wanted to implement a "random" system, which is objectively superior for most parents (who wouldn't get in otherwise), it would be shot down quickly.

Similarly, a nation wide curriculum would be shot down because it would make school way more difficult for a lot of parents' kids.

The nice thing is that we have applications that give us this. E.g. this is literally how ssh(1) works when used as a transport layer. (You have stdin, stdout, and also stderr). The only issue is some in-band signaling on stderr and error codes when SSH itself has problems.

>> Not to mention that MIT and other 'elite schools' barely teach well anyways.

> Ignore this person, they don't know what they are talking about.

I'm not sure that that's fair. Granted I didn't go to a great school; I went to community college because it was what I could afford. But I know many who have attended other, "elite" schools and most of them, barring a few exceptions, told me they basically learned out of the book and the only "hard part" about the school was a high frequency of difficult testing.

A few have told me about great professors but even they said most of their other classes was almost just reading out of a text box and doing typical work around it.

So, no first person information here but what I've been told by several friends and former colleagues is they're like most schools they just push students a little harder with more testing. Hell one of my friends dropped out of Stanford and went right into quite an important job at Microsoft stating he wasn't learning anything by just reading books.
you are of course right but unfortunately good teachers don't scale.

my oldest is in 2nd grade Success Academy in brooklyn, they actually do lottery ( there is even a documentary about them on Netflix called the lottery)

in my view there is only one thing that allow kids to do well in school and that is parents who care.

once my son reaches 4th or 5th we are going to send him to a private school, cause thats when it starts to matter if they want to go the educational route.

to be honest though short of getting the most fundamental skills like reading and math and music i am kind of hoping he will just educate himself with things he care about his whole life.

there is something not very futureproof of sending your kid into an educational system that teaches everyone the same while expecing them to stand out.

i managed to do quite well for myself and i am mostly autodidact, but its hard to know if i was just lucky.

bottom line is you cant make the right decisions for your kids.

> I strongly suspect you are not in a position to provide empirical backup to that assertion.

Not that I agree with parent, but given selection bias they can't empirically prove the opposite either (that elite schools teach well given that they select the best students). The lack of proof for the positive of course doesn't prove the negation, but I wish someone would do this experiment (admit a bunch of students randomly into a bunch of universities, compare academic performance over 4 or so years).
The foreground shots are not overhead shots, which is why a drone seems the most (if not only) plausible source for the raw images.
If the expectation is that you should be able to live a good life if you work hard then something is very wrong. A huge number of people work incredibly hard, yet still don't get to live a good life. A teacher (or nurse, developer, construction worker, etc) who puts in long hours working a stressful job and still doesn't earn enough to invest in a home, take a vacation, or raise a family. Where is the incentive for people to work hard if that's the case?

You can't tell people that "you reap what you sow" if they're seeing other people sowing a huge amount and actually reaping very little.

To anyone who might reply to suggest this means the reward for not working should be even lower, read The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich von Hayek first. He made a very good case that there's a necessity for decent welfare in modern societies because without it poor people will eventually rise up in a bloody revolution. It's happened many times in the past. Lowering welfare is, by logical extension, an argument in favour of murdering the wealthy.
I find it interesting that for some people it is a truly humbling and transformative event, and others it's a debilitating one. Wish I had explanation for the difference though.

Here's the reality. My uncle taught at Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn in the 90s. He had a class section with 90 students, which sounds crazy except that he met 30 and regularly saw 9.

One kid was selling crack. Another held him at knifepoint over a Twinkie. The rest were either there for lunch or just trying to scrape by, living in terror.

Those kids sent going to function at MIT.

Alright, so there are simply too many unique functions accessible through the math.js API, for blacklisting to be feasible.

I'm curious why he didn't go down the whitelisting path in the first place. Basic maths don't require that many functions anyway, so he could've started with a small list, and expanded it as people asked for more. Alternatively he could have allowed for custom whitelists.
> High schools that tend to send high numbers of people to schools with acceptance rates less than 20% tend to be dis-proportionally represented.

It goes further back than that. I went to one of those high schools - certain middle schools are disproportionately represented because those middle schools can prepare students better for the exams. (I didn't attend one of those middle schools, so I can't comment on the presence of feeder elementary schools and feeder preschools, but one can imagine...).
Difficult to do if you aren't even tracking what applications are legacy in the first place, they'd at least have to ask a sample of admitted and rejected students post facto.
So, get a low paying job, have a ton of kids, profit! Sounds like that just grows Trump country.

Putting a limit on the regex engine won't fly. How big should that limit be? I use this particular regex engine to search files that are many GB in size. Some people might search bigger files. What should the limit be? Limits only work when you can restrict your use cases significantly, which is not a luxury I can enjoy.

The broader point I was trying to make with my question is that "invalid states aren't represented" isn't particularly interesting to me on its own. What's interesting to me is what it takes to achieve it. i.e., What do I have to give up to make it so? Developer time? Performance? Code complexity? Other practical things? Keep in mind that I'm after things that work, and not a hypothetically advanced-enough tool.
