You're neither adding all of the College Board tests that use a calculator nor accounting for the discounted wholesale price (or maybe better considering the volume) that would be paid.

The SAT II Math isn't the only test. The normal SAT math component also allows calculators and is generally administered on different dates. The SAT is offered on 21 dates in 2019, so that's a total of 27 tests. Even at a full ~$100 per calculator, charging an extra $1 per test would still cover the cost in a little more than 3 years.

AP Exams: Unlike the SAT which has regional test locations, AP exams are generally administered in the school you attend, and the school should provide a calculator. For that matter, the whole issue could be solved if schools issued them as standard equipment that same way they do textbooks.

Finally, the whole point of these tests is to establish the level of knowledge a student has. That hasn't really been done if the test takers aren't on the same level playing field. All else being equal, the same score for a test taker with a calculator compared to one without would mean very different things. It's supposed to be a standardized test. All students should have the same equipment.
Tangent from the article, but when I read the headline I thought I'd at least share in case it helps anyone who might have chronic pain like I've dealt with lately.

For years now I've been suffering from tons of weird shit. I've had this persistent painful skin rash that pops up all over my body. Steroids would kill it for awhile but it would always come back. Folks would ask me if I had burned myself when they'd see places on my skin. Just chalked up to an allergy from my doctors (to what? many things they guessed).

To top that fun off, my knees and one shoulder have been killing me. Had trouble walking up stairs. Couldn't do pull-ups anymore without extreme pain. I'd wake up in pain. Just constant pain. People just chalk that up to me getting older. Arthritis I guess.

But then my wife felt like trying to do some Whole 30 kind of thing. I hate this stuff. But whatever. She needed support so I went along with it. Cut out gluten, dairy, alcohol, sugar. Low-carb. High protein.

And after a week: I could move my arm above my head again. Walking up stairs became normal. Huh! Cool!

I thought, maybe my body just needed a reset and gave that diet up.

All this stuff came back.

Now realize how important it is for me to stay on a low-carb diet. It doesn't seem to be gluten or dairy getting me. But sugar, alcohol and carbs. And I wouldn't say I was that bad at eating those before. But clearly I'm super sensitive to them.

Today, I stay on a low-carb diet. I cheat on Saturdays. Allow myself to eat the nominal sugary treat and have a couple alcoholic drinks. But I barely want to since my life is just like a billion times better.

All that joint pain is gone. My skin has cleared up. I'm doing pull ups again. Running a ton. Just did 8.5 miles today.

So, all I know, is if you feel like shit constantly, it might be worth throwing sugar and alcohol away. Might be worth trying an elimination diet. I can't believe how long I laughed this stuff off when clearly it's so incredibly important and has transformed my life.

Edit: I forgot to mention the brain fog I was living with too. There was a fluid in my ears screwing with my balance. Felt like I had a head cold. Also has cleared up.
Dude, it is really unhealthy to get this angry at an anonymous stranger on the internet. I have definitely become overly invested in internet conversations before and suffered needlessly because of it, so I can relate. I wish you the best.

P.S. Most people don't want to be called an "anomoly". It sounds quite negative. I know you didn't mean it that way, but that is how other people interpret it.

That's very much true for tools like Visual Studio, but not for the runtime itself.
Isn't the definition of fingerprinting something to personally identify you? There's only one person connected to every fingerprint, and it's there to identify you across websites. That's what PII means to me. How can stack exchange say fingerprinting isn't collecting PII? I wonder what they would call PII.
I dunno, but thanks for the recommendation.
You're measured on test scores, not on how much you learned.

If the rules say 'no computer assistance', and you break those rules in a way the test monitors didn't expect, the only people you are cheating are other students.

FWIW, adding async/await feels excusable to me.

I was strongly resistant to it when it first came out in C# something like 10 years ago. I thought it was language cruft that was better handled with a library solution, and nothing more.

I was convinced to give it a real try about 4 years ago, and had a serious change of heart after only a week or so. It was just syntactic sugar, but it was syntactic sugar that made concurrent code much easier to write. Not just in terms of making the code more verbose, but in terms of making it easier to do correctly. Because, at least in the way the C# team designed it, it subtly steers you towards doing things in smarter and safer ways, and away from the usual hot mess that is multithreading.

I've heard similarly positive things about goroutines, which seem at first blush to be about the same thing.

Given that Zig is ostensibly about helping people to write performant code more safely, that leaves me thinking that there's an argument to be made that async/await are a good fit for Zig's mission, and not just kitchen sink features.
The annual storage fees ($250/yr) cover our banking costs. The banking needs little more than invoicing to remain viable, and with the numbers we have banked, it could survive as a stand-alone entity, or would be an asset that could be acquired by another banking service. My cells are in there, as are those of many of my family members. I want them available 20 years from now. Of course, we aspire to mature beyond a startup, and are getting there. :)
Probably not as good, but still somewhat effective.

Reasons why you are getting down voted.

1) A comment talking about being down voted (which is amusing considering your username). This is enough to get a down vote in my book.
2) An immature post. There are numerous signs, including the LOL at the end, that it's immature.
3) Fairly insulting to people who come here.
4) Your original comment is constantly begging the question. The reality is, you aren't interested in a discussion.
5) "I'm just stating an unpopular opinion without any trolling, spam, or personal attacks" No, you aren't "just stating an unpopular opinion" if this keeps happening to you. If this happens to you constantly, it's because you are wrong. Your opinion of your comments is wrong for the community.

At overly busy tech startups where time is money, it's more than just the "hassle", it's time that takes out from doing other work. There must be screenshot automation suites out there, but the education department is often woefully understaffed, under budgeted, and near last on the list of priorities that it is a laborious, toilsome, and thankless task, often without notification to the eduction team, which results in less-than professional presentation when the first time the change is noticed is in the classroom or when a customer complains. It's no wonder that it's upsetting when things are changed!
HR is not your friend and HR will never be your friend. In a post-2008 world, it baffles me that people still think that somewhere, deep-down, multi-billion dollar conglomerates have employees' best interests at heart. How quickly we forgot people losing their lifelong savings and entire pension funds going bust. Only to have the government bail out the exact same charlatans that dropped the ball in the first place.

Corporate culture is very much a zero-sum game, and I think a pinch of cynicism (or heck, realism) can go a long way.

> I'm a live and let live, everyone has their own pain and their own story, we all are just doing our best sort of guy... But I want to string that guy up.

I don't think empathy and punishment are at odds with each other. It's perfectly possible (and, I think, healthy) to have deep compassion for both victims and perpetrators, while still taking the right corrective measures.

Depending on what exactly "stringing up" entails, I might be right there with you.

Something I don't see mentioned often is that Red Hat has a conflict of interest: their money comes from selling support contracts. Ergo, it's not in their interest to make systems easy to understand. I think this coupled with their outsized influence goes a long way towards explaining why modern Linux is so opaque and hard to use - they seem to go out of their way to render obsolete the sysadmin heuristics that serve one well on any other Unix system.

First: I question that you have the authority to "limit" people in this way.

Second: How do you propose to enforce your limitation?
Incorrect. Take a look at the Department of Justice's own official statistics:

> There wasn't a clear seperation between the system itself and whatever you were working on.

Another serious issues is that people routinely modified the system classes. Once you had imported a few large libraries there would be any number of changes to classes like Object that would cause the libraries to mis-behave if they went missing or were changed. As nice as it was to be able to mod anything, I think it hurt reliability.
We're not allowed to say negative things about (anybody) that could be construed as an insult or dismissal? Have you read the Trump threads?
To answer the headline, there already is a cure to chronic pain and it is called correct diagnosis.

Correct diagnosis combined with proper and effective treatment. Sadly, medicine doesn't offer effective treatment for the underlying cause of pain in far too many cases.

If you have FQAD, you might try looking up "nutrient depletions" for any and all drugs you were on. Also, look up any nutrients that need to be taken with those nutrients. So, for example, if they cause magnesium deficiency, you will probably need not only magnesium, but also calcium and vitamins D and K and maybe something else as well.
The root problem is not a lack of security it is a social problem that no amount of 'immediate corrective action' will correct.

Some other countries have similar problems and yet others have little or no trouble. In the long run the social conditions that cause the violence have to addressed, adding security protects people in the moment but does not fix the root cause.

I realize that this is cold comfort to those affected right now.

Counting breaths from 1 to 10 is not that easy, especially if you are tired or burned out. Personally, how far I can get from 1 to 10 is a pretty good measure of how exhausted or how good/bad I'm feeling at that moment.

And also trying to get outside of my mind -- to kind of transcend it and get into third person.

That's great! One of the main goals of meditation practice is being present. When we are present, we start perceiving the stuff that is always there but we ignore.

The things that you describe are important, I'd encourage you to keep exploring them. Everyone's journey is unique.
This is not medical reality. Chronic pain is usually caused by an up-modulation of pain transmission in the peripheral and central nervous system. It is totally distinct from acute, short term pain with a clear cause. It is treated differently, responds differently to medications and is generally a horrible malady compared to acute pain.
On the advantages of making small changes, rather than big ones
I just like the boring eyes logo... It is exactly how I feel inside sometimes.
I realise I might get downvoted here because of an unpopular point of view, but some of these comments raise a few flags:

“I reported it up to where my manager knew, my director knew, the coworker’s manager knew and our HR representative knew. Nothing happened. I was warned that things will get very serious if continued,”

So EVERYONE knew and they still disagreed with their point of view. Warned them that accusations without proof like that would get serious. Does that make them evil?

“I whistle blew a colleague who used the N-word in jokes. HR found nothing conclusive”

So HR investigated, found nothing conclusive. What is the alternative? The did their job and arrived to a conclusion. Just because the conclusion did not match the accusation, now Google is evil?

“when I was sexually harassed on my former team by my [team lead] I quickly reported it to my manager. I was told I was ‘overreacting’ and that I should just ‘get over it.’”

Again, this seems to be a subjective stance. Your manager thought you were overreacting, given whatever proof / accusations you provided. Just because he / she did not agree with it, does not mean they are evil.

If you have too much lye in it, it will be ridiculously "effective", as its caustic basic property will hurt your skin. Too much tallow, and you essentially just smear fat on yourself.

No real reason why this, blended well to a reasonable pH level, would not be as effective as what we have today.
> The problem with this is the mob too quickly concludes CBP provides no valuable service to the nation (i.e., service worth contract support) because of a policy I don't like. That really is unjustified, I think.

That's not at all the conclusion. At some point you stop thinking about what value is added by the contract work. For many people, that point is somewhere before "lock children up and separate them from their families".

Even assuming outrage is selective, the question remains: was the outrage inappropriately withheld before, or is it inappropriately applied now?

If indeed it was inappropriately withheld in the past, I don't see any moral necessity to remain consistent, even if the flip-flopping turns out to be politically convenient.
Thanks.

1. Many in the scientific community believe that the evidence suggests that nicotine is relatively harmless, on par with suntanning or coffee (which contains acrylamide). You are right, nicotine isn't harmless, but many in the scientific community believe that nicotine is relatively harmless.

Nicotine isn't why cigarettes are bad. It isn't why 85% of smokers will die from smoking related disease. Nicotine itself is a cognitive enhancer, like caffeine.

2. I agree. It's an issue. We should also know more about how specific vape hardware "cooks" the juice and creates new chemical compounds. There should be industry standards and consumer-safety regulations.

Sigh... the thing is, I wish we could approach this non-politically -- like a design problem.

Let's design vapes that are safe and good for you! Which, of course, vapers(?) want as normal product consumers. But, it becomes politics because the thought of healthy and effective new consumer drugs absolutely terrifies people. People want it, though. Why can't they have what they want in a manner that is as healthy and effective as possible?

Know what I mean?
Have we considered the radical option of, you know, not allowing calculators on tests? And not writing tests that rely on the use of a calculator?
That’s exactly the kind of diagnosis you get when the real answer is “I don’t know.” Peripheral nervous system issues may be the root cause for some chronic pain, but it’s very difficult to rule out all other causes.

Also, MRI’s are still very much blunt instruments. A high resolution 1 millimetre scan is still representing ~100,000+ cells per voxel.
Unfortunately most chronic pain has no clear cause. That's why spinal surgery is much more discouraged these days for spinal pain. Artifacts on spinal MRIs for example are only slightly correlated with pain. Many people have severe problems in their spine and no chronic spinal pain and many people have no clear problem and terrible spinal pain. The nervous system is complicated and there are a lot of risk factors for developing chronic pain: job dissatisfaction, sitting all day long, depression, repetitive strain, stress, etc. And no, it isn't mental or psychosomatic, it's very real. It's in the peripheral nervous system and the base of the brain.
Yeah I agree. Given that a company can ignore HR if they choose to, I'm not sure how else workers can expect to be protected from this kind of thing.
Poverty, hunger, addiction, homelessness, etc, are all bad, but they are bad on an individual level, with secondary negative societal effects.

Global warming is an existential threat to modern civilization. If we allow it to continue unchecked, it will result in catastrophic changes in prevailing weather patterns, sea level, and animal and plant life. These might not be enough to wipe out all human life on the planet—we might very well even be able to recover from it, eventually—but it is likely to create enough instability worldwide to cause many major governments to topple.

Now, again, this is if we let it go completely unchecked, and none of this is stuff that would happen within a year or two. But we're already seeing some of the effects, and there's nothing to suggest we won't see the rest if we just shrug our shoulders and say, "Eh, there are other important things, too."

> Snowden distributed documents to the Guardian, Washington Post, and Der Spiegel - not Wikileaks.

That's an important distinction, thank you for making it.

Late May, Snowden fled to China. Days later, documents he stole were first published. Less than a month later, he and the Wikileaks legal team were moving him to Russia where he requested political asylum. Many people reasonably find it hard to believe that Snowden's introduction to Wikileaks personnel happened in that less-than-one-month timeframe. Like any journalist will tell you, though, the story is a very complex one.
I have a 14-month-old now and my wife and I read a ton of articles on raising children and how to best teach them, talk to them etc.

What I have realized in the past 14 months is that, at least during this first year, every problem you'll encounter (which there is a LOT) is going to be about physical things, not "how to raise your children", and boy were we vastly under-prepared. There's your usual hungry/too warm/too cold/wet diaper stuff. Then there's stuff that comes up like diaper rash, eczema, constipation / digestive system development, colic, teething pain... and a long list of more things that could happen but I don't know about because it didn't happen to our baby but just as likely to happen to any other baby.

My advice would be, read more about those. You can worry about how to raise your children later. My advice to friends who have had babies after us is that, you usually see the cute baby pictures on FB and read articles about how to raise your children; but what no one tells you is that 95% of your life in those first months is about feeding your baby, changing diapers, trying (and failing) to put baby to sleep, washing bottles (if bottle fed). But then again, what do I know, I have a 14-month-old, so maybe I'm wrong and I'll bang my head on the wall when she's 7 years old. :)
The good thing about the Ti-83 and 84 is that they're nearly standard. Want to know how to do x? Someone nearby will know.

> If you ever want to proceed with legal actions against the company then you have to put it into record somewhere which typically means reporting incidents to HR.

This is not true. You don't have to record anything with HR for legal action. Its not a prerequisite by any means.

Going to HR is always a wrong move. Get a lawyer.
