>It’s accepted to design products and services by trying lots of permutations and measuring the success, is this ever done with teaching?

Yes and...of course it is done and tried. The problem is that most parents (especially those whose kids are most likely not to have the support to get past these struggles) are not exactly ecstatic for their children to be used as experiments. They want concrete answers, fixes, solutions...they don't want permutations.

Also, measure success as what? Learning? at a conceptual level or an execution level? Do you want a standardized test? Do you want to train teachers to effectively measure these concepts? Do the teachers really understand these concepts?

Educational systems are incredibly difficult and complex. Blackboxing them is not easy.You nailed the business case...we can't agree on who will pay for this, can't agree on how to measure it, and can't even agree on what should be taught. One experiment in this way was gasp the evil Common Core curriculum.

As an education researcher myself, I wouldn't fault anyone who works in K-12 policy and development to just phone it in and spend the days day drinking. They are underpaid, poorly treated/respected, and everyone thinks that they are equally qualified as those experts to have an opinion (e.g., parts of this thread) because they experienced education themselves.

The question I always ask people when they propose really concrete fixes to educational issues analogized to their personal technical field of expertise is this...Can you define and support from research your definition of what learning is?

ZFS would have been mainlined into Linux much earlier if it had been someone like Google who had bought Sun. Now, Google is pushing into hardware and deploying POWER9 servers. Not to mention the lawsuits with Oracle could have been avoided as well. But hey, atleast they got Motorola's IP portfolio.
Thanks for the nice example. I've heard of traits but hadn't read enough to know what they are. Looks like a form of multiple inheritance. The example you gave shows polymorphism via traits. That was helpful to me.
Could this be a move to protect the stability of the highly lucrative Bitcoin market in China? From what I can discern from the article, this would only appear to significantly impact new cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Could it be a potentially shrewd move to maintain the state of token-based investment to that of a commodity rather than a 'futures' market (especially given the current exchange rates between existing tokens and fiat currencies)?

It's cheap in the places that are windy. One big challenge (mentioned tangentially in the article) is in moving this cheap energy from the windy center of the continent to the populated coasts.

The coolest project to tackle this problem (in my opinion) is Tres Amigas, a superconducting interchange between the west coast grid and the (wind-heavy) Texas grid.

Yeah, direct debit is the only way I can think of this to happen where it is not a bank error (like in a previous reply). While certainly a convenience, I am still a little bit wary of allowing any company to automatically take money out of my bank account directly.

Having an automatic credit card payment is something slightly different though.
That's just a good heuristic, though, it does not guarantee finding a solution. Also note that NP is a class of decision problems, and finding a solution for the n-Queens problem is not.

None of the two decision problems that arise naturally from n-queens, deciding whether there exists solutions for a given board size, and verifying whether a candidate is indeed a solution, are NP-hard (solutions exist for n \not\in {2, 3}; verification can clearly be done in time quadratic in n). Counting solutions is #P-complete, though.

I once around age 12 saw a talk of the mathematics of juggling and it inspired me to go home and download some old software for playing around with juggling patterns which I then did for hours and hours on end.

I'm now wondering if it's the same software, although this would have been circa 1998. I recognise the use of "siteswap notation" though.
>Sorry I can't see that connection now. Publicly funded schools and publicly operated schools are two entirely different things.

The compulsory attendance laws do not depend on who operates the school. There are private schools enjoying the same laws.

>Again. a) The funds and the operation are two different thoigs and b) if you start doing medical procedures on people against their will, you are in some kind of dystopian society.

This is not an argument. You could just as well say "If you start sending children to school against their will and will of their parents you are in some kind of dystopian society". All the arguments I've seen here are of the nature "Free healthcare yay! Only idiots think it will come with strings attached from the government. Healthcare is good ergo it cannot turn bad, BTFO!"
It's running in circles and if you cannot even consider all the consequences of government policies - good luck in the future, I am out of this thread.

I know a lot (a lot) of non-technical SQL users. SQL is a widespread abstraction from the underlying databases. It's very powerful.

What you describe is useful from a programmer's point of view, but maybe the wrong abstraction. You could write such a thing which actually generates SQL from an API like you've defined. You could write an alternate ODBC engine.

But there is a lot of overhead for database authours to actually provide an API like you describe. It's far simpler to provide something SQL-compliant with an ODBC or JDBC driver and now you can plug in almost anywhere.

I have used a database engine that exposes primitives to build filters and similar programs to what you describe, and selectively push them to the server. It's not a very deep abstraction.

Just refresh the page and the email dialog goes away.
We had Google in 2002 and the answer would probably have been easier to find at that time since there wouldn't be hundreds of different Ubuntu versions and sub-distros to clutter up the results. I can't count the number of times I've found an answer that applies to "Ubuntu" where the alleged solution didn't apply to the version that I'm running.

Also, systemd can cause anyone problems - I'm not sure it can distinguish between you or Grandma.

You don't get the luxury of hand waiving: the two are equivalent, and thus any rigorous proof in one has an equivalent proof in the other. In acknowledging this, you accepted your original claim was false.

So what you really meant here was:

"Ofc, geometrical proofs are technically algebraic proofs (due to Homotopy type theory). I must have had a brain fart when I implied that one could be more, or less real than the other. That made no sense."

I bought a pack of fountain pens last year. Plastic, so cheap feel in many ways. Though, it has been a long time since I used a pen that wasn't plastic. The few gimmick wooden ones actually feel more cheap.

A "plus" for these, they are easily refillable and use the same ink as the "parallel" pens that are fun for calligraphy.

If people want to trade the price of a digital token into bubble territory, that's really their business. No one else is forced to buy up that token. Which governing authority will know it's a bubble anyway? It's not like it's possible to know if something is overvalued. If it were, one could reliably short every bubble and make a profit, and in fact do so so much and at such scale that their market shorting prevents bubbles from ever forming (since a short adds pressure on the sell-side).

Sure, if there's sufficient contrast within your flat design, I'm fine with that. Lots of good examples of this in 'material design' where buttons are easily recognised, with nice colourful backgrounds. When buttons get wishy-washy grey in some attempt to "blend in", then we have bad flat design.

On the other hand, one can possibly steer the evolution towards a direction that enables general intelligence to evolve. In nature there are many local minima due to biological constraints (body weight, cranium size, birth channel size, predators, payoff between energy investment into large neural networks vs large muscles, ecological niches). In a simulation one can probably avoid many of these local minima by changing the rules that govern the simulation.

OK, but the algebra of complex numbers is so much easier than trig -- less to memorize -- that I think it must be inertia that's keeping our trig courses around, not inherently better pedagogy. Has anyone tried teaching this way in high school or middle school?

If you are interested in an inexpensive practical fountain pen, you should look into the Lamy Safari. It is easy to maintain, writes smoothly, and feels good in the hand. It is my every day pen.

I guess if you can import this stuff from China and India with minimal quality checking things are good. I am not being sarcastic about the China importing. In the U.S we have $500 bags of saline that the minimally checked bag from China would cost $5. Really you don't even need universal health care, just adequate supply and that means imports, cheaper schooling and deregulation to solve health care.

>The students I taught were performing this calculation by the end of the unit, but it was of course a joke. On their exam, they were asked to do this calculation (in differential equations language), and most of them were able to do it because they were good students and had memorized the procedure.

This is a prime example of what I believe is wrong with traditional education (i'm not judging your teaching ability of course), as you are obviously aware, this is more of a box ticking activity than learning in the sense of having any actual understanding.

This has always personally caused me a great deal of trouble, for whatever reason I can only learn substantially through understanding - attempting to memorise procedures when I don't have time to understand the underlying workings is like trying to eat cardboard for me, in that sense I am a bad student and am exiled to purely self taught methods.

Although I am quite content learning on my own, it makes me feel like much of my formal education was a big waste of time, If I could go back in time knowing this I would avoid it altogether.

My experience is hopefully a more dated view by now, I also hold out hope that the new exposure the internet has given courses through MOCs who provide no kind of certification will by proxy refocus traditional education more on the value of learning than certification.

Also in the UK at least there are some new ranking systems emerging for universities that are more focused on learning like TEF, although indirect that is at least a step in the right direction.
