In Britain, the subject is split into "English Language" and "English Literature". The former focuses on the practical skills needed to communicate effectively, while the latter is based around the study of set texts. English Literature is entirely optional for pupils aged 14-16. Students from 16-18 have a free choice of three or four subjects, with no mandatory elements.
> And given editions will allow radical changes to the language and ecosystem every 3 years

This is incorrect. Editions are incredibly limited in what they can introduce (it needs to be something that it is possible for the compiler to warn for, with no false positives or false negatives). In practice this means that they're mostly limited to introducing new keywords and other little bits of trivial syntax.
I had to peer review papers in some writing 101 class and I'd say quite a few of them were basically illiterate.
One should also not that this was said because these movies are incredibly popular and get made about pretty much every war.

They are also used by American pop culutre to understand the war and they absolutly do influnce how people view the conflict.

The point isn't what "Vietnam" did to our soldiers. It's what America did to our soldiers in the Vietnam War. Our soldiers were a different kind of victim than the victims in Vietnam, but victims nonetheless.

Vietnam was a vile deception, and a tragic example of focusing on unfounded methodologies (McNamara, running War as a business, body counts), rather than on the why, whether and how.
>"Airlines are very much currently burdened with a legacy that was cemented in sometime in the 50's."

Which legacy exactly are they "burdened" with? The airlines in US were deregulated in 1980s. The airlines look nothing like they did in the 1950s. The regulatory regime is gone, there's "power by the hour", fuel futures etc.

>"Ultimately, they're given a large multi-dimensional optimisation problem ..."

Yes and the airlines have pursued a policy of rapid consolidation which means forcing more people through
regional hubs which are in no way optimal for their itineraries.

>"We are taking the (very small) initial steps in alleviating some of the issues by introducing increased liquidity into the market ..."

That is a bunch of double speak. Fixing the problem of overbooking is done by airlines practicing some basic discipline - "stop selling what you don't have." If you are selling seats on an A320 with 180 seats then don't sell 200 seats. In what other industry is selling something you don't to sell done as a matter of course?

The problem of overbooking is fixed by not actually overbooking. You are simply enabling airlines to continue this unethical practice of overbooking in a manner that's more profitable to them. I fail to see the innovation.
Type conversions, even non lossy ones, can teach people to use the wrong type, in c++ it's very common to see people use a int in a for loop indexing an array when you should always use size_t for that purpose. This misuse is so widespread that people hardly even know that the size_t type exists. https://www.viva64.com/en/a/0050/ has some nice material about why this matters and the type of bugs this can cause.
This isn't really a good comparison. The US has its problems and rising inequality has been a huge one for sure. But the biggest strength of the US has been its institutions and a society and economy that is based on laws. The independent Universities, Judiciary etc. are all extremely hard to get it right and the US has managed to do so (mostly; there are still many many problems e.g. school-prison pipeline, unequal treatment for minorities and poor communities etc.)

It seems much more likely to fix the US's problems with inequality rather than try to build all these institutions from scratch in China, at least in its current environment.

Yes, but war also helped some groups find their place. World Wars one and two saw oppressed races (and genders) make gains due to the lack of meat for the grinders and grudging inclusion by the system of those previously excluded groups through pressing need. The inclusion helped push forward their rights, and while things often remained pretty abysmal post war it helped move things along and started movements toward more equality.

Basically: because it has a lot of characteristics in common with all the other, better preserved, asteroid craters we know of. So our hypothetical advanced civilization would have to have deliberately mimicked all the little details of an asteroid impact, not just created a big explosion using some other method. That's possible, of course, and if they did it well enough we'd never know. But it seems much more plausible that it was an asteroid impact.

Yes, that may be true, because Buddhism for all practical purposes has teachings that are a subset of what Hinduism / Sanatana Dharma is. Some people may not like it because that hurts their sensibilities, especially if they were Buddhists or have a soft corner for Buddhism. So it has been a debate & Buddhism is simply lacking in providing any novel concepts other than what Hinduism already provided. At least the path of Islam / Christianity of "Extinguish" at the point of a sword was not practiced.

No other line of thought has been criticized, marginalized & ridiculed as much as Hinduism has been. Buddhism escaped all that criticism only because of Hinduism being the bigger target. This is also the reason why many people in Western countries resort to Buddhism & not Hinduism when they want inner peace or want to understand meditation. This is going on even now. You'll be amazed at the words used by Christian missionaries, they call Hindu beliefs as evil, the gods as satanic. Muslims? They just try to kill you if you're a Hindu, desecrate & vandalize Hindu temples, forcibly convert young girls through kidnap & rape and worse.. and I am talking of all this happening today, now and will happen tomorrow. Why? Because Hindus are a soft target, they have never harmed anybody. History is evidence to this.

Matter of fact, there is sufficient evidence that Buddhism tried to do exactly that to Hinduism & Jainism "Embrace, Extend & Extinguish" and it was successful in Afghanistan, Kashmir, SE Asia etc, but could not survive in the face is Islamic violence. Look up these regions' history if you do not believe me.
Ember is an incredible framework that's been carefully thought out by a team of super sharp people with loads of experience, and I'm constantly amazed by how quickly I can get real projects built using it. I've used it for many projects since ember-cli came out a few years ago. I feel about Ember for client-side projects how I felt about Rails for server-side projects—it made it fun for me again.

But Ember gets a bad wrap from the internet because (admittedly) their marketing materials with the gooofy chipmunks make it look like a toy while React's make it look like you're learning quantum physics. And then there's the timeless "convention over configuration" divide where Ember people are generally on the left side, and React people just love the thought of fiddling around and hand rolling their own custom ungoogleable bespoke artisan framework before actually getting to the meat of the work.

I highly recommend using Ember for any size project if you like getting shit done.

Are you saying that African nations have laws that protect American IP? I think you're sorely mistaken.

China has been moving to Africa mostly for influence building and securing supplies of raw materials. It is a brilliant strategy, and I would argue that as long and they're helping improve the quality of life, an overall good thing.

China is NOT opening up high-tech manufacturing plants in Africa. In fact most of the infrastructure in Africa is sourced from Chinese Companies (e.g. railway coaches)

Is there anything analogous to potato-driven growth & potato blight in Ukraine?

I thought the two stories were completely different because of this. Ireland had a spectacular mono-crop boom, followed by a crash, and I think it's uncontroversial that this was triggered by a disease, whatever the view of the response. I don't know of any similar boom in the Ukraine prior to the famine, nor any trigger besides what the guys with guns in Moscow wanted done.

> I would enjoy teaching, but wouldn't do it for the world.

As a current teacher in the states, this has become my attitude. My mom is a teacher (retiring this year, actually) and I never seriously considered it, to be honest. Yet, once I got started, I found out how enjoyable it was, and that I really liked it (even though I hate teaching Algebra II to kids who can barely multiply...). But I'm in a red state, and tired to have to constantly worry about funding, whether I'll have a job in a few years because of budget cuts, whether I'll have insurance and/or a pension, etc. etc. It's absolutely awful and really draining on you. I am, sadly, looking at getting out.

I think part of the problem is how our system is set up. We need to move to a system like Germany, in my opinion. After middle school, if you're a decent student, you can get put on the track to go to college; otherwise, you get put on a "career path". My school already has those, but, unfortunately, they still make those students take the useless classes, like Algebra II. This just kills the desire to learn.

It also doesn't help that smartphone addictions are a huge problem to overcome, and there's still teachers pushing for more technology integration into the classroom when I honestly believe we need less.

It sucks, because I do enjoy teaching, but with the current trend of things, I really want out.

From the article: "The historical record shows many instances in which the Mafia fought against the Peasant Fasci and collaborated with the military in suppressing protests and killing protesters."

However, according to Wikipedia: "Some historians emphasize that the leagues were engaged in class struggle against a coalition of landowners and mafiosi and ignore evidence of strategic alliances between the Fasci and the Mafia."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasci_Siciliani#Mafia_involvem...

I wonder which is it. Perhaps the Mafia was opportunistic and would ally with the Fasci (the workers) or the landowners depending on the local conditions. Its not like the Mafia is one single entity but composed of smaller (themselves warring) factions.
I am puzzled by the reasoning.

If your claimed good mechanism cannot reach a good outcome, what's the use or value of them.

Only a tiny number of games represented. The idea is cool but to really shine it should not require official support of specific games, and the officially supported list should be a lot longer. Where's Day of Infamy? Rainbow Six? RTS games? I'm assuming this list will grow with time. If you add new games every day I think that would reflect positively on your product.

To be honest, a guild which is serious about itself would be much better served by their own custom website in my opinion. I'm just trying to gently say is there really a practical use for (yet another) of these websites?
Without too much effort, I keep a NOTES file in each project directory. I keep it out of source-control. Anything that is worth preserving (backed up and checked in) goes in README.

This is extremely misleading. The lack of increased scores in the student body as a whole is the result of a large growth in the proportion of students from disadvantaged and ESL backgrounds. Reading scores have been going up within each of those demographics, however. https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/pdf/coe_cnb.pdf (Figure 3). In fact scores for black, Asian, and Latino students have gone up faster than for white students.

“There are multiple worst-case scenarios,” said Dr. Klemm. “One is that this strain spreads to other regions through migration. But the other is that it pops up elsewhere on its own — plasmids with drug resistance are everywhere.”

This is a terrifying statement, and implies that whatever we do to combat this will not be enough. It would be so stupid if it took a global pandemic of XDR Typhoid to start changing things around abuse or antibiotics in livestock and humans. Actually, I wonder if that would actually lead to change? I would have thought so when I was younger, but now I think deaths might not move the kinds of people pumping livestock with drugs we need to live.

It’s just so frustrating! Life without antibiotics would be a nightmare, hospitals would become charnel houses again, and we’d have to be terrified of every cut and scrape. All for cheap dairy, eggs, and milk?
