It is not mentioned in this particular article and my teacher friends say that dealing with parents is a constant pain. Of course, not all parents are a pain. Only a few.

Teachers are not in the profession to listen to why little high school age Johnny did not get an A on his paper, not the least because you, the parent, helped him write that paper.
> you forgot: or pass a bill the president can't sign, by overriding a veto

Are you talking about passing a bill with such a high majority that the president cannot veto the bill? I wonder if the budget was ever passed with such a majority.

If you're optimizing for not dying, that sounds great. If you're optimizing for a good time and a difficult challenge then that's not going to work.
More or less what I thought about the network cable in GP's post - if the network cable is changing how your FLACs sound, it's _broken_.
But there is capacity, and USB1.1 may need less than USB2. That said, we can assume that we are talking about USB cables that are tested/verified/certified, which means they have to follow a few rules about how much Mhz bandwidth it supports, how much EMI it can deal with and how much drop in power it's going to cause. But of course, those are measurable facts and still have nothing to do with the data packets getting 'warm' or 'fuller' or some other subjective term.
There's much more to this story. My mother, a high school calculus teacher for the last 22 years is so ready to retire.

I didn't think my mom would ever retire, she spends countless hours coming up with unique lesson plans for the kids - they usually involve games, real world use cases and many ah-ha moments. She lives for those moments when a kid lights up when they understand the value of what their learning.

Now though, over the last 8 years, she told me that parents have ruined the job she loves. Especially now that she has to post everyone's grades online, instantly emails roll in when a student didn't perform as well as the parent expected.

She told me of an email she received that said "X is trying to get into Princeton - an A- isn't going to get her in. What extra credit can she do to make this an A?".

It's endless and my mom, for fear of a lawsuit, doesn't know what to do. The teachers union in Massachusetts made all the teachers sign liability waivers and arbitration waivers if a lawsuit happens. My mom is scared stiff and either bends over, or doesn't and let's the vice principal or principal take the heat, ultimately it leading to an extra credit assignment.

My mom's job sounds miserable and if you were to ask me 15 years ago, what I might do in my retirement - I would have said taught CS at a disadvantaged high school. Now though, I'm seconding guessing that retirement plan.

It's not my place to speculate, but I'm going to do it anyway: I expect you can get away with simply just driving as slowly as you can, assuming that isn't ridiculously faster than the 7km/h that is suggested. (My old automatic car (1.4L) would probably creep at about the right pace. My manual car (3.0L) isn't super happy to pull the car along while idling in 1st gear, but it's fine at ~1000rpm and that's ~8km/h.)

(This does make me wonder. I typically drive in car parks in 1st gear at <2000rpm, so max ~16km/h or ~10mph. But, you know... maybe I'm going too quickly?)
Make sure you don't listen to anything louder than a cockroach farting: the vibrations will disturb your £300k gear. Perhaps you can find some sort of device to deliver the choons close to your ears to avoid problems. No obviously not, you will need heavy plant and a lot of conc. to start off the job. Then there will be the stabilisation and damping systems ... and ... and ...
That's not health insurance, that's having enough money to have alternatives and hoping you have enough time to ignore it.

I just commented the same thing - parents are a major problem right now.
Southern California is dense and sprawling. Not very vertically dense, mind you, but I'm not sure there's a lot of existing room for new development without displacing people, and I'm also not sure any new development would lower housing costs enough to support the workforce in question. It would take a massive amount of high-density housing to get costs low in certain areas, and low-cost housing doesn't exactly draw in the developers.

It may have started as NIMBY, but I think natural market forces eventually reinforce it to the degree that NIMBY isn't necessarily the largest factor at play at this point.
A very thorough breakdown of the trials and tribulations of getting things through the C++ Standardization Committee.

The article leaves us with the advice that if we care what goes into C++, then, whether we like it or not, we'll need to get involved somehow.

This could mean joining things fully, or just communicating your needs to existing members who are aligned with you in some fashion.

Sadly, I don't think we'll see much of an uptick in C++ Standards participation in relation to C++ standards complaints.
Yeah that makes sense. Agreed.
Call it a "capacitor array" and you're set.
Admittedly I chuckled. The amazon cable you referenced is full of satirical comments.
Wrong. Lying is always and everywhere immoral (yes, even when it is understandable and forgivable such as the classic Nazi thought experiment). Not only is it intrinsically immoral as it perverts the functions of speech and communication, but it has long term consequences like the undermining of trust and social relations and the further corruption of the liar's character and the scandalous contribution to a degenerate ethos in society where truth is treated as selectively important. Our present day culture of sophistry and bullshit with its cavalier attitude toward the truth is what you can expect.

Mental reservation, on the other hand, is sometimes justified.
Increase them if necessary.

Good luck.

Introduce paid roads where applicable.

Oh my god do the voters scream about this. They are entitled to free roads.

We struggle to maintain roads because the voting public wants $1.00 worth of services for $0.90
"I think the Austrians have a fair point that overexpansion of credit during booms is a key cause of recessions."

No, this is actually their greatest weakness. Mises biggest joke is: “Credit expansion can bring about a temporary boom. But such a fictitious prosperity must end in a general depression of trade, a slump.”

It is a tautology. A joke. Idiotology.

1. Yes, every boom ends in a bust. I must, because you can't predict the end of a cycle and always have to pre-finance production. There is an analysis, the tallest skyscraper always get's build before the bust. Obviously.

2. Yes, every credit expansion creates a boom and every boom creates a credit expansion. They go hand in hand. Which boom did NOT GO with a credit expansion? It has to be.
In Germany, being a teacher is the best job you can have.
Many thousands of students entering directly into teacher ed programs when they get to college refute your unsuported (or only anecdotally supported) claims.
Right, the largest sufferer of reputation loss is Congress's collective brand. Individual actors are relatively consequence free.
It’s a sign of a healthy economy and strong job market, which the article states. It’s not necessarily healthy for the education system, especially if increased government funding isn’t available (despite increased revenue from a good economy) to boost incentives to work in education.
Actually, the real secret to Diablo 3 HC is that characters are completely disposable, and only the equipment matters.

You can take a level 70 weapon with a gem of ease, jump in at Torment VI and level a new character from 1->20 in sixty seconds even when playing solo.
It's very clear cut. The sentiment is the same. I don't know where you got it that it's not clear cut. The only thing which is not clear from your article is how will Abe and his corny friends shove their nuclear-friendly world-of-view down the Japanese people's throat.

And your claim that Japan is planning on growing might mislead some readers to think that they are expanding the nuclear capacity in Japan. Which is not the case at all. They signed the Paris agreement and unlike the US they try to keep their promise. But they are not expanding any capacity to do this. They simply restart their reactors (which by the way if they might be able to do so is to be seen).

What actually happened is that they started to decommission the Genkai 1, Mihama 1 and 2, Shimane 1 and Tsuruga 1 reactors while they completely abandoned the plan to build Fukushima Daiichi Unit 7 & 8 for obvious reasons among others.

So if anything than the exact opposite can be said that you implied: Japan is slowly but surely phasing nuclear energy out.
I can easily see that it would improve my quality of life a lot if there were a bunch of customer-facing businesses interspersed with housing in a dense city block. I would love to be able to take a quick five minute walk to grab that random tool I need or that last ingredient I need for a recipe; my life could be so much more spontaneous!

I have more trouble seeing where the 500 seat office for a global enterprise should go on my city block. it seems like that sort of space would lead to a dead feeling at night when everyone goes home and the space sits empty.
So, which one is it? Untill I see some proof, I don't believe you.

Ps. Should be easy since you found it already.
haha wow, what a perspective.

For every one of those database migration success stories, there's a potential TSB style disaster though[1]. Problems with migration are real and potentially very serious.

I would imagine having parking structures/places to accommodate those from out of the area to still be able to drive there, park, and then proceed on foot.
Not only should they not see a cent, they should be heavily fined for refusing to do the job they were elected to do.

They should have done unpaid overtime until the situation was resolved.

Better yet, every single one of them should automatically lose their position and have a forced election to replace them (..maybe they can run again for the job they already have).

How many people can just walk out of their job with no consequences?
First, "there's this thing going on in the pleasure centers of our brains" is not at all the same as "doesn't exist". If nothing else, it exists as this thing going on in the pleasure centers of our brains!

Examining birds and noticing how they fly is not "luck".

Langley had 70 times as much money to spend, and his Aerodrome failed because it was underpowered, did not have enough lift, did not have an adequate control system, the wings were too flexible and would not hold their shape, the airframe was not strong enough for the loads, and the catapult tangled with the airplane and pulled it to pieces.

That's not bad luck, that's bad engineering from start to finish.
A friend of mine, male teacher, randomly met Obama back in like 2006 at some function. In their 5 second conversation, Obama was ecstatic that he was a teacher, saying specifically that 'we need more male teachers'.
See my comments below about reasoning order.

I see gender balance of a mechanism for approximating selecting the best talents.

Please do not read any more than what stated in the comments. Your comment implies I disapprove more women being helpful or something along the line of not valuing gender diversity, which is not being mentioned at all in the comment.
Level 5 self driving is still theoretical at this point, and theoretically speaking, there is no reason to assume LIDAR is absolutely necessary for it. Computer vision based pipelines are theoretically capable of providing the same depth information as LIDAR, using stereo, camera arrays or even monocular SLAM.

The main obstacle for self-driving car is much more on the processing side than on the sensor side. After all, humans are able to drive with audio + stereo vision that's not even 360 degrees.

It could very well be that the reason Tesla's statement about "full self-driving car HW" is inaccurate is because of the lack of sufficient onboard computing power rather than the lack of sensors (IIRC they have an Nvidia X2 and GP106 onboard, which only have a total of about 4 SPFP TFLOPs).
South Europe complaining about high tax is like Americans complaining about expensive petrol.
You might consider still teaching in retirement, but in another country with more respect for educators and less tolerance for the parental behavior currently exhibited in the US (Western Europe perhaps?).

We still need good teachers as a species.

Choosing to open a business that pays minimum wage in an area without housing that is affordable for minimum wage workers inherently generates traffic, doesn't it? I don't have a very solid opinion on all this, honestly, but it seems logical. What do you think?
A president should not have veto power over the budget.

Nor the power to pardon for that matter.

The country should have learned from Nixon that modeling the president as an elected 18th century king is long obsolete.
Legacy board games have the same issue as you described in fire emblem though: players can ignore deaths by save scumming or not performing the instructed physical mutations of game pieces.

I've certainly been in a group that decided to ignore the outcome of a session where we had particularly bad luck on the dice rolls because of the expectation that it would've made subsequent sessions unwinnable/not fun.

There's arguably more incentive to do this in the board games because restarting from a 'ruined' game state in fire emblem requires pressing a few buttons, doing so in the board game requires spending $70 again.
My two cents... When a company lays off their most experienced engineers year over year over year... this is what happens. Just my humble opinion of the real root cause.

Can you elaborate why? It dominates AI and data science for a reason
I agree, and I would love to trade her Vic for a comparably safe hybrid or full electric. The former simply doesn't exist, and the latter is only available right now as a Tesla S, which is far outside our price range. Maybe when the Tesla or Rivian pickups debut they will be somewhat affordable, but until then we unfortunately are stuck with gas guzzlers in our household.
>the real culprit is always the government that does the borrowing and the spending

By that logic, I assume that in the case of the subprime crisis of 2008, you also think that the culprits are the indebted families, right? Not the banks that pushed loans on people who clearly couldn't afford them, who set up a system that richly rewarded them for that, that hoodwinked their clients and the public, that stacked regulators with friends to look the other way, that stacked universities with "economists" in conflict-of-interest to tout that their practices were a-ok, that paid themselves billions in bonuses with taxpayer money after the working class bailed out their losses... Not those people, right?

>It’s how socialism works. Spend other people’s money

It's always funny to me that the people who get trillion-dollar bailouts to recoup their losses and keep living an elite life of luxury have the gall to call others out on "handouts".

Anyway, you forgot to set that quote over a photo of Margaret Thatcher /s.
> The teachers union in Massachusetts made all the teachers sign liability waivers and arbitration waivers if a lawsuit happens.

Wait what? I thought the union was supposed to at least pretend to look out for the teachers' interests.
Fridgeee – Interactive fridge magnets (with open source library)
There are teachers who do it because they can't do anything else, and there are teachers who do it as a labor of love. As a student, the vast majority of my teachers struck me as the latter. When I was teaching, it felt kinda half and half in the inner city school I was at. Bless anyone who can do that gig in inner-city San Bernardino CA. As a teacher, I resigned myself to never owning a home and never paying off my student loans, meanwhile dealing with an overwhelming amount of disinterested students, and more than my fair share of problem students. As a software developer, I now hope to pay off my house in the next two to three years.
If I was a student right now, I’d be protesting with them.
You're pretending people are rational automata who make decisions in their own self interest, which is rarely true in life. Very rarely true among political actors.

I hope we can stop treating politics as a silly statistics game theory simulation for every actor and decision, because two decades of thinking like that has clearly not worked out for us. New ways of thinking, including consequences for bad actors, are a way to move the needle forward a bit even if it's not Spock's ideal solution.

This is one of the things I love about living outside the city. UPS, USPS, DHL, and FedEx drivers all know me by name, honk and wave, and stash my packages safely 98% of the time. Its as good as it gets. Never miss a pickup, or a sign-for. Magical, yet should be expected. I am still bummed that milk delivery ceased last year. It was like living in a 1950s propaghanda film.
> Our present day culture of sophistry and bullshit with its cavalier attitude toward the truth is what you can expect.

It's too bad religion is so obsessed with not being gay as the most important of all moral issues. Our culture of lying is a real moral crisis with real consequences. I have never once heard any religious figure take a strong public stand against it. If anything most seem willing to lie in service of their own causes.
It wouldn't even be another standard; it'd just be another incompatible implementation with its own quirks to be worked around.

There are plenty of examples going in both directions, it's not a matter of absolutes, or can be resolved in some political us vs them style argument (all libertarians are idiots, all gov is great, etc).

NASA's greatest successful decade happened shortly after they swept up all of the private organizations and talent from universities to form the organization. It's been said their efficient culture at the time reflected private industry culture that remained, combined with the rigour and scale of the job at hand found in university and government experience they had access to.

Everyone loves pointing to NASA 1950/60s accomplishments as the counter-point to private industry but basically just because gov finances something doesn't mean the positive effects of private industry can't still linger in government agencies well after they've been founded. Where the negative effects of top-heavy administrative machines, with endless risk-management and management-staff itself taking precedent over engineering talent (https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html) have not yet crippled their R&D efforts.

That said, no one said gov isn't capable of great things but whether it's a sustainable repeatable thing as long-term large-scale organizations acting in a waterfall-esque process - I'm not so sure. The ideal is probably some middle ground where gov organizations can take an entrepreneurial style approach building small teams, while still providing them the access of gov resources and public-incentive structure, but without the damaging effects of administrative culture.

I'm not convinced gov contractors are the solution to this either due to the aforementioned public incentive structure and how it encourages graft, crony-capitalism, and poor oversight of public spending.

Not to mention context is incredibly important Fusion and the first humans in space are at a different scale than "first person to fly", given the amount of resources the Wright Brothers required. So again it's not black/white.
You suddenly pay for the flights???

But who will pay for the doctor on the flight with you, you mentioned that it was included also for 120/month.

Do you have any evidence other than a Reddit thread of anecdotes (about students "seducing" their teachers - ugh) that male teachers routinely have their lives ruined by false accusations of molestation?

Here's some evidence on the "other side" of the issue: Chicago public schools routinely broke the law by failing to report credible accusations of molestation of students by teachers and staff. https://graphics.chicagotribune.com/chicago-public-schools-s...

I spent the last year living 30 minutes walk from work in Central London.

Neither the 4 mile walk through congested, diesel-fumed London or the small, expensive flat with single glazed windows did make me happier.

I now live 30 miles outside London and take a 30 minute train to work. It is much cheaper, much more pleasant (I stand on the train most of the time) and I get to hear the birds and smell the fresh air when I wake up or go outside.
I'm also curious if it affects all USB ports on the computer, or only some. (Some PC's have "always on" outlets that supply power even when the PC is turned off, and I imagine that those take a slightly different route through the power supply.)

Anyway, my guess is that there's some line noise that isn't enough to mess up the PC, and the PC is passing it along to some component in the speaker that doesn't like it.
I suppose that choosing to open a business not in someone’s house generates traffic.

The alternative is not Walmart paying stickers $50K/yr. The alternative is no or fewer Walmart jobs in locales with these laws. IMO, that makes things worse, not better, for prospective Walmart employees.

I also feel like where I live is none of my employer’s business, provided I can do the job. Maybe I’d make an exception for fire or police, but even there I’d rather not make the employer totally paternalistic.
