And research consistently shows that teenagers perform better if you start school later in the day than 7am. E.g., http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0192636502086633... "shifted the school start timefrom 7:15 a. m. to 8:40 a. m. This article examines that change, finding significant benefits such as improved attendance and enrollment rates, less sleeping in class, and less student-reported depression."

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1540200070126380... "Students at the late-starting school reported waking up over 1 hr later on school mornings and obtaining 50 min more sleep each night, less sleepiness, and fewer tardies than students at the early school."

https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.3.3.62 "Results show that starting the school day 50 minutes later has a significant positive effect on student achievement, which is roughly equivalent to raising teacher quality by one standard deviation."
As a radius though, that makes for a huge area.

I've seen people make sweeping statements about "Asians" without including Indian people at all.

I think that's a side effect of changing the usage of "Oriental" ("Oriental is a rug, not a person.") Okay, that's fine, some (many?) find it offensive, so we'll quit using the word that way. But we forgot to have a replacement word. So now instead of "Oriental" we have "Asian" to describe folks from the more eastern parts of Asia. And we're left with "Indians" and "Asians", even thought that's not entirely accurate.
Yes! That's a good one.

Charter schools are wonderful, if the state's laws are well written. I'm in Minnesota, and my kids went to charters for seven years, (six at a project-oriented school that targeted students with learning or social problems in mainstream schools). But it works here because the system is completely fair - any student can attend any school, and there are no good mechanisms for private charters, or for charters that exclude students by type. Many of the charters are actually sponsored by school districts - for example, Minneapolis has dedicated bilingual charters for the large Somali and Spanish-speaking populations.

Then I see the consequences of bad law in other states, and I just cringe.

The terms are not bullshit. The network does not have the capacity to service everyone at their maximum last-mile data rate, all the time. Bandwidth is a large, but finite resource. There are several ways of addressing this:

-You can divide the total capacity up equally and give everyone dedicated connections that aren't very fat. Nobody likes this, and it's very inefficient because most people aren't using their full bandwidth most of the time.

-You can charge by the byte, on top of the base fee, so that using the system more costs more. It's fair - pricing directly reflects resources consumed - but nobody likes the idea of being nickel-and-dimed whenever they click a link.

-You can do the above, but include some large chunk of data (which is quite cheap) into the base fee, that most people won't go over. Call it a "cap". This works well.

-You can promise "unlimited" data, but start sending nasty letters and/or slowing the connection to a crawl when they go over some prescribed "fair use" amount. This is a data cap in all but name.

Basically, all-you-can-eat stuff is always sold on the basis that you will consume some reasonable amount, because no resource is infinite.
> The Gates Foundation spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the 'Intensive Partnerships for Effective Teaching initiative' [0], only to find that teacher evaluation isn't an effective way to improve student outcomes.

Did you actually read the article to which you linked? Some choice quotes (emphasis mine):

> The reforms demanded too much time. The evaluations required an enormous amount of time and paperwork, and were frequently seen as a burden and distraction by teachers and school leaders alike.

> Principals tended to rate teachers highly, and scores inflated over time. It turns out that principals generally don’t like to give negative evaluations to their teachers, especially when they don’t really trust that poor performers will be removed. If principals expect that teachers will stick around regardless, they’d rather be on good terms and avoid alienating their staff.

> None of this means that teacher evaluation “doesn’t work.”

The problem isn't that rating and firing teachers doesn't work. It's that rating without the ability to fire is pointless and whatever rating system they came up with was too onerous. I blame both of those on teacher's unions which are, IMHO, one of the worst forms of public sector unions.

It was their standard, Eric Schmidt stood on many stages and said the same. Google being a private company has no bearing on my previous comment. Private companies don't have to be amoral. A much more capitalistic move would be to use their information and computation power to devalue the Yuan and acquire large swathes of the now defunct China and rename it Google. Now, not only can you search Google you can go to Google. This would be much more valuable than some pleb ad revenue.

I once delivered a huge four layer wedding cake. That delivery was the most tense 45 minutes of my life.
I'm not a fan boy or anything but he's a rather remarkable person. To take advantage of the biological attributes he was given and work insanely hard to maximize them from a young age. All while not being distracted by all the other things that could lead to squandering his natural talents. And then not relying just on those but enhancing them through dedication and discipline.

Then you throw in all the pressure he had as a youth to be the next big thing and then going to the NBA and succeeding immediately in terms of personal ability.

Yes, he had that PR blunder when he left Cleveland but he had good reason to - he just took bad advice and went about it wrong. But he proved his point and then came back home and helped win a championship for his hometown team.

All this while remaining super charismatic, not falling into bad habits or getting involved in scandals. Being a good father and marrying his high school sweetheart whom he has 3 children with.

Doing things for the community that aren't vapid or short term PR grabs. But really trying to make a difference.

All the while coming from a very disadvantaged place economically and without his father around.

He's by all accounts a savvy and smart businessman and hasn't blown it like so many people with rags to riches stories. He has kept his good friends around and integrated them into his businesses in ways that make sense. He appears to show true loyalty to those that were with him before he became what he is today.

He's well spoken and thoughtful on top of it all.

I don't follow his sport much but he is a person who appears to just be exceptional in many ways. He just seems so genuine and without the veneer that other stars really suffer from. Granted he has a massive PR team and marketing team but it would have been so easy to have a slip-up. It would have been easy to make bad business decisions and it would have been easy to find new "friends" and women and all the other things that are short term. But he has a goal larger than being an NBA star and he's stuck with it.
Interesting and good to see that as a reference. However, I suspect that approach overfits, and the author does not mention using a validation set.
> Was Woese's discovery just "easy"?

In a way, yes. It’s widely established that 20th century biologists got to pick the low-hanging fruits. This shouldn’t detract from the sheer genius they displayed.

In the specific case of the three domains of life (bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes) — which I’m assuming you’re referring to? — Woese & al. got “lucky” with their study of 16S rRNAs.

In a nutshell, these RNAs are relatively easy to sequence and analyse. Their extremely high degree of conservation means that they can be trivially aligned to each other to study differences. But they also contain “hypervariable” regions that made it possible to distinguish different species at extremely high resolution, even using relatively slow computers and unsophisticated analytical tools. In addition, modern phylogeny mostly struggles with inconsistencies in classical methods that are due to unaccounted features (such as lateral gene transfer, which invalidates the typical assumption of a strict tree structure). Early studies ignored these inconsistencies (or didn’t even notice them, due to the scarcity of data).

But since you talk about correlative vs causative data, it’s important to note that this fundamentally hasn’t changed: from a very high-level perspective, new evidence is either compatible with existing theories, or isn’t. Strictly speaking, evidence never demonstrates causation — it can’t. But sometimes there are few viable alternative models, so the available evidence trivially allows discarding all but one or two models. This gets harder the more nuanced your models are, and this is the natural progression we have in any scientific endeavour.
Generally most of those changes are for when someone is using 25+ cursors at once, or are in very large documents that reflow a ton on every character.

Typing a single cursor in most documents was never really an issue in Atom. But when you layer on a ton of plugins that do all kinds of stuff, and add in some complicated grammars with larger documents and lots of cursors at once, then performance would start to suffer.

GPL has great provisions against hostile forks, but as is it's a bit too restrictive for games as final products.

I'd imagine that LGPL would give both an incentive to contribute to the engine, and a way to commercially release games based on it, without GPLing all the assets and all the game mechanics.
If your game engine supports multiple scripting languages, including one that is graph-based, maybe it’s not that “thin” anymore.

Which it obviously is, so I'm not sure what point you were making viz. Google. The "turning off" of the items you mention is also entirely a user-visualization exercise. All of your data is still there inside the panopticon. Even not using Google service anywhere does not free you from it, if you send email to a Gmail user, lo, Google has it. So concerns about the behavior of a company with the market presence of Google are very relevant.

No we can't, because most of the CO2 has already been emitted: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-four-years-left-one-poi...

You'd think that the good school districts are areas with new construction, because whoever can afford it will want to move away from the plebs. So you have big, new, expensive housing. On the other hand you'll predict unoccupied residences on the undesirable areas.

There’s a commonly held belief (myth?) that mathematics is a young person's pursuit in the sense of great discoveries. If you look at Erdös you see most of his great contributions occurring when he was younger and he was prolific throughout his life.

I think the downvotes come from your sentence about significant developments going under reported. I don’t think this happens at all. If someone discovers something great or profound in math no one cares about the age of the discoverer. Wiles was given a special prize because he was past the age of 40 when he proved Fermat's Last Theorem.

Most American wedding cakes are terrible. Two reasons: the one discussed in the article is that often cakes are frozen to be decorated and stored, and so they're already stale by the time the wedding happens, and the second is that many American cakes just don't taste good.

I agree. If you look at what a mathematician does they sit around and think. You don't have that sort of luxury if you are from a poor family and have to worry about basic survival. In many cases (not all) the people that complete major accomplishment X at young age Y is from an upper middle class to upper class family with lots of life advantages. Not everyone have these advantages early in life and may eventually get to those positions due to their talents, but it may take them longer given their life situations. There are poor but extremely talented underrepresented people out there the world may never know. We tend to celebrate talent from the elite class, not the poor. The elite are given resources they need to succeed, the poor are often overlooked. This can cause a major talent drain from truly exceptional but unknown folks in the world.

You're right. It does seem ageist, when seen in isolation from the outside. It seems to suggest that the field of mathematics only and solely cares about the work of young mathematicians.

Yet, is it perhaps possible that this position may signify a person possessed of a wonderful opportunity to become more educated? The Fields Medal is not intended to be the capstone recognition of a mathematcian's career any more than the Clark Medal is in economics. It's intended to award outstanding achievement for a younger contributor in a field that infamously tends to worship the more senior. The IMU awards other medals as well, including one for lifetime achievement.

In short, you're completely right to be bummed out! But perhaps you could take this glorious opportunity to learn more.
