"As soon as you get any degree of success, you disappear up your own arse and you lose it forever" - Thom Yorke
There are lots of options to mitigate this.

You can take them out of the accelerated/gifted program and put them back on the "normal" university track in high school.

The big risk is that it will cause your kid to get alienated socially among both the "normal" and the "gifted" kids, so make sure that your kid is involved in the decision-making process.

If your kid has an IEP, you can also talk to the teacher to get accommodations. For example, maybe your kid could quietly work on their homework during their school day, instead of being forced to pay attention to the teacher's lecture.

You can also just tell the kid that they can decide how much homework they want to complete. In high school and university, any un-completed work just gets recorded as a zero; if the kid is already getting 80s and 90s then a few missed or half-complete assignment questions shouldn't materially affect their final grade (provided they understand enough of the main concepts to complete major tests/projects/exams). Having a strategy for deciding what work is safest to drop/defer when you're overwhelmed is a useful skill both in upper education and in the workplace.

RaiseMe | Engineer, DevOps | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school (and soon, community college) students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience. We've over 250 college partners, and users in 1 of 2 high schools in the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

Here's a recent VICE Impact article about us:
https://impact.vice.com/en_us/article/ne3yvm/students-earned...

If you're an engineer looking to work with other smart and passionate individuals on the mission of helping all high school students achieve their college ambitions, get in touch! We are a small company, with a 12-person engineering team. We offer competitive pay, great benefits (including a dog-friendly office!), and meaningful equity stake.

Tech stack: Ruby/Rails, React/Redux frontend, MongoDB/Postgres/Redshift, with some small things in Go, Python, and Node.

U.S. ballots also randomize the candidates' names, so that you can't scan each new list quickly by alphabet or political party to look for the person you intend to vote for.
The result is that it takes more than a few seconds of sustained concentration to make sure that you're marking your ballot as intended. That's especially true when individual offices attract many small-party candidates.
Maybe I missed something, but this essay seems to deal with the relationship of Open Source v Free Software, not Free Software v Copyleft Software.
But how does the telco in the last node know the caller id is accurate? They can only tell that the data is coming in that direction but it could have been routed multiple times before (if phones work like the internet protocol). The only telco who can ensure that must be the one who initiated the call (exactly like IP spoofing).

Don't get afraid because our website is in German because we hire English speakers for technical roles, too.

This is a well paid opportunity in a high-growth and high-quality team.

We are a true "engineering over management" culture where you find engineers both with formal computer science background and also ones, who are self-taught.

Our CTO worked with Erich Gamma, got offers from Apple, Google and similar firms but instead of making it big in Silicon Valley, he stayed in Zurich to build the engineering team.

We currently building tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we built the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland for "Meteo Schweiz". We do custom development with a heavy engineering part and we regularly impress our clients with software that "just works" and rarely needs maintenance.

Also, we are building a web layer between legacy BPM software and the web. One vertical we are launching soon is a SaaS product for Yoga studios.

People say our interview process is pleasant:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us.

Tell us if you want to hear more and say hi to:

not to sound elitist, but MBAs are usually only worth it if its a Top25
I think you're misunderstanding what he's trying to say. He's not saying that knowing finance has anything to do with being smart--if anything, it's the opposite: Of the people he considers smart, he noticed knowledge of finance isn't widespread. Perhaps the average smart person doesn't find the problem interesting enough.

For what it's worth, I was one of those people. I didn't go for my undergrad until 8 years into my adult life (I'm a veteran), but I had done extensive reading about business to the point that most of my BBA (which I was taking as a bonus alongside CS) felt like review. Except for finance. I knew the basics, but even undergrad courses revealed that my knowledge was very shallow. I think it's just something that people don't expect to have that much complexity. I wouldn't have thought to learn it if I hadn't been forced to take it in school, but I took as many finance courses as I could once I realized the knowledge deficit.

Is finance hard? The sophisticated stuff can be, but generally in comparison to engineering it's not. But nonetheless, nearly none of the computer scientists in my class or in my professional circles have bothered to learn...probably because they're more interested in compilers ;)
Can you provide some examples of how the MBA helped your business' growth? Was it accounting and statistics? Or development of product features via understanding customer needs?

(I don't have much experience with MBAs. So I'm always curious about the benefits.)
To be clear, I don't think it measures difficulty, but difficulty is necessarily a driver of the metric. A complex language is going to generate more questions than a small, intuitive language.
So if I'm middle class steal just a little, and am careful, I can probably get away with it?

Yeah, I just read your comment about people in the UK adulterating marijuana with random junk and it just blows my mind that anyone could do that. I definitely see how that would drive people towards synthetics.

I know what you mean about community though. Where I'm from most of the dealers are the stereotypical goofy hippies who seem to worship cannabis and see it as a cure for anything. It's a little obnoxious to listen to them rant sometimes, but at least I know they genuinely aren't going to poison anybody for a few bucks, they just really like weed.

> I have absolutely no doubts that the most used language is JavaScript - considering nearly every website in existence relies on it.

Just about everything around you that uses electricity is programmed with something other than JavaScript, including everything that runs JavaScript.

Well, you see, if semen finds its way into the vagina, pregnancy is a very real chance. So, if a woman gets semen on her hand, and then touches her genitals, she could get pregnant.
There's a big difference between "I fight for my right to do what I want" and "I fight for everybody's rights to do what they want, even if I don't like it". Like saying "I should have freedom of speech" and "everybody, even people I hate, should have freedom of speech". Almost nobody objects to the former, but the latter is trickier.
You have no right to privacy when crossing an international border. The solution is simple - don't carry any data you don't want to give to the country you're entering.
> Funny, the federal income task pays for none of the items in your list.

It is impossible to completely separate the functioning of the current system from the way it is funding. Every single thing in the United States benefits at least in part by functioning within the system as a whole, and that includes the legal and regulatory framework.

> Roads are mostly state,

A large amount of that state funding is from grants to the state by the federal government.

Updated data from the Census Bureau's 2015 Annual Survey of State Government Finances published last week indicates that federal aid made up nearly a third of all states’ general fund revenues in fiscal year 2015. The single largest line items in states’ budgets include federal funding for transportation, Medicaid and other social assistance programs. ... The federal government distributed $41.6 billion in roadway infrastructure and highway safety funding to states in fiscal 2015.[1] The article also includes a handle by-state breakdown of funding received for transportation, and the percentage of that states transportation spending that results in.

> airways are mostly private

But the FAA regulates how planes fly, and what safety precautions must be taken.

> doctors and hospitals are outrageously expensive

But there are rules about what they must and must not do, and how drugs and treatments must be verified and what can be said about them.

> I'm not sure what that means in this context but yea, government regulations sure saved that one from going to the shitter.

It means some protections are better than none. There's a difference between being in the toilet and being flushed into the sewer.

> Why is it that any criticism of our current tax regime

Classifying taxation as theft is not "any criticism". If you use extreme, and in my eyes unjustified rhetoric, expect it to be called out.

> I'm more than happy to pay taxes I feel are reasonable in amount and directly beneficial in some way.

...and that's supposed to have been expressed by "Stop stealing 30% of my income"?

It isn't, actually. The proof of the undecidability of the halting problem is rather straightforward. You just assume you have a program that determines whether or not its input halts or loops. Then you write a program that uses your assumption as a helper and does the opposite:

If the input halts, then loop

If the input loops, then halt

You then pass the program itself as input to itself and you get a contradiction.
And the consequences of insufficient sleep on adult behavior? Child behavior? Elderly behavior? Perhaps this is a human trait, and not something isolated to the ever-examined and ever more heavily regulated adolescent?

Not that any of this is news. That adolescents need more sleep than any other age group, and that they suffer tremendously from being deprived it by adults, has been known for an extremely long time. When I was in high school in the 90s, there were dozens of studies about it even then. But adults don't care. The most common resistance to the notion of starting high school later is that it would interfere with football practice, making it a total non-starter. That football destroys brains, teaches mob mentality, and other such things doesn't matter. It is, to our society, far too important to let those other matters interfere.
The word "philosophy" has usually meant "western philosophy" in academic use. Eastern thinkers aren't a major component of the western academic tradition. Therefore, the use of the word here is in line with conventional usage. You are welcome to get on your high horse about the conventional usage, but you might want to start with the thousands of universities that teach "Intro to Philosophy" without touching on Chuang Tzu or Buddhism.

Your counterexamples aren't particularly good, because it seems likely to me (arguing without proof) that the majority of written philosophy that survives to the present day is part of the western tradition. MS Windows is but a tiny minority of the world's operating systems, for example.

And I will repeat, there is nothing about this site that particularly limits it to western philosophers. It's a data model, and data can (and probably will) be added - in fact, open or semi-open access to the data set would be one of the best additions. Then you could add all the non-western philosophers you like, and the connections between them. I'd argue your criticism is more like complaining that the corner diner shouldn't say "good food" because it doesn't serve sushi, and sushi is good food too. Absolute inclusiveness is an unreasonable goal, because it's an impossible goal.
