I agree re: power. I do not agree about traction.

Assume you're stuck in mud somehow, a perfect case for diff lockers. If you lock the rotational rate of all your wheels together you are either:

a.) limiting the torque you're applying to the amount the tire with the least amount of traction available can bear before slipping out, or

b.) letting 'em rip and hoping you don't dig yourself down into a hole.

The beauty of having fine control over the power going to each motor is that you can put down the max torque that particular wheel can manage regardless of what the other tires are doing. And you can do so with a granularity that is unmatched by any ICE TC system (which IIRC use the brakes to control torque?)
I have a bad habit of reading the agreements, and I can't stomach the ones for services like that. Lots of stuff about power of attorney...
I want separation, but I'm not convinced separating the "cream of the crop" is the right way to go.

What if schools were more proactive to weed out and separate the bullies from everyone else. I think we'd end up with an overall healthier society, wherein 90% of kids will get a good education and have a good experience in school vs trying only to ensure the top ~10% get separated from the rest.
I added a "non" to the word in the title of the post to indicate the opposite of that thing. But my terminology.
I agree with you, I think GitHub is doing a dis service by selling people that this will sustain open source developers: https://www.aniszczyk.org/2019/03/25/troubles-with-the-open-...

In my opinion, it's essentially "gig economy" at scale. GitHub should start publishing raw data on how much money developers are getting... median etc and how close that maps to a developer salary etc

I don't think anyone has the view that you're criticizing.

Sorry to repeat myself.
It is interesting that we have largely the same group of people complaining at the same time, that:

1) They don't feel like working as hard as people in the past used to work, and

2) They feel they're being screwed by a "rigged system" because they're not as rich as people used to be.

> These kind of things just happen when you can keep bringing in more and more money and so can your competitors.

Yep. If appetite and available funding grow year after year, even the most honest of colleges will have a hard time not expanding costs.

Fortunately, it's still pretty easy to get a 4-year degree from a solid school for < $40,000 tuition not including scholarships.

Pricy, but still far less than the $1m extra lifetime earnings.
My go-to filesystems are ext4 and UFS, so from that perspective, ZFS is "next-gen" ;-). (ext4, and ext2 before it, are loosely based on UFS, whose broad design is more or less unchanged from BSD 4.2 of the early 1980s.)

It's not clear to me that separating more talented kids into their own groups and classes hurts less talented kids. What is your thinking here?
> but if you hope to reap the benefits of having your work in front of a lot of people

What OP says, and you miss, is that some people are not interested in reaping benefits. They are interested in doing work.

They are constrained by time and money, so yes, sponsorship can help their projects, but they are not in it for the reaping. If anything they will be happy to see a lot of people reap benefits from their work, not the other way around.

How many are like that? I don’t know. Maybe not a lot, but some for sure.
Some of the time. Define "ordinary".

The definition of a "bad" boss is totally subjective and at the mercy of an individual's motivations at a given point in time.

Some bosses are bad in a sense that they conduct or behave themselves in ways that transgress laws, but they'd be a minority of those deemed "bad".
A false positive rate of 1/1000 is hard to assess without actual prevalence stats, but with a decent-sized userbase it seems likely you're still going to get a significant number of false positives. Is it intended that users of your system would have employees manually vet all positives (with legal and mental health concerns) or just submit them without review? I'm coming from having built tools to support a large manual sweep in the 2000s and watching the toll it took on my coworkers.
This anecdote resonates with the experiences encountered by my child. What's interesting about our case is that we move every 2-4 years and experience five different states and school districts--all public schools. For reference, our child ordinarily tests in the 99th percentile for the normal battery of tests the school psychologists administered.

A Hawaiian school did not offer a G&T program due to a lack of funding for it. Participating in the normal classroom changed her to the point that it contributed to withdrawing her from school and we instead opted to home school. Coming from the mainland, Hawaii's general curriculum was behind and she became bored, faced relentless bullying from peers for being a "...know it all haole...," and found it difficult to make friends. She often came home with stories regarding the teacher spending significant time dealing with behavioral issues, negatively impacting instruction to the few children looking to learn. The teacher was also culpable for practicing a less engaging and micromanaging teaching style involving smothering children with worksheets during the school day, and forcing parents to initial all assignments and fill out learning logs at night. The teacher treated learning like a chore instead of a fun discovery process, and it killed her curiosity and motivation. After she was assaulted at her bus stop, we pulled her from school.

Fortunately, we only lived in Hawaii for a short time period and I was capable of taking a hiatus from professional life to home school her until we moved from Hawaii. We involved her in local home school groups to facilitate like-minded friendships and the customized, self-paced curriculum enabled her to make substantial strides in her subjects. Thankfully the damage done to her was temporary and she resumed her happy normal curious behavior.

In every other school with a G&T program, she has fit in and flourished. Good teachers, friends, and personal growth on her part. Not acknowledging that people have different aptitudes and motivations, then forcing them to learn from a cookie-cutter styled teaching program is a defunct social experiment gone awry. In our Hawaii case, it seemed like crabs in a bucket when it came to peer bullying. I get it, you're only as strong as your weak is a decent metaphor, but sometimes people and institutions are taking this concept to a degree that forces others down instead of boosting people up. I'm just guessing from personal experiences, but mixing students of all abilities appears to generate a net negative social welfare outcome.

This is great. Kudos Cloudflare!

Patent trolls really seem like a cartoonish kind of evil. I'm curious if there is any steel man argument for their existence? Do they add any value at all or are they just a pure drain?
That's about right. Running a fleet of autonomous vehicles is an expensive proposition, and probably will be for years after they start working. Waymo outsources some of that to Avis Rent-A-Car, which already has garages, maintenance facilities, parking lots, car washes, etc.

It's quite possible that when automomous vehicle operations start working, the big players will be car rental companies. It's a natural extension to their business.
I don't think anyone is advocating for 'ignoring the rest'. The point is to prevent 'the rest' from setting the pace of development for everyone. You can't optimize educational outcomes for the full spectrum of human beings, from the no-effort types with an IQ of 85, to motivated types with IQs of 115+, in a single classroom with a single curriculum. It just does not make sense.

If anything, separating high, medium, and low achievers and allowing them to move at their own pace seems like a preferable situation for everyone.
I see a lot of gimmicky multiplayer games that sound fun and quirky but don't seem like they'd have any staying power. Like Cult of the Wind, that third-person deathmatch shooter where everyone is running around with their arms out pretending to be airplanes, and you can't shoot your (invisible) guns unless you're moving fast enough because that's not how airplanes work.

I love weird gimmicky indie games, so I thought I'd love Cult of the Wind, but...there really wasn't much there. And I realized an ultra-niche single-player game can find cult success, but an ultra-niche multiplayer-only game will probably never have enough people online at once to keep going, and sink without a ripple.

But people keep making them, so some of them must be succeeding, right?

It's not ridiculous. It makes complete sense that in 2019 Microsoft would want its customers to have Microsoft accounts that you log into with to run the operating system on your hardware. Nearly everyone has internet connections, and Microsoft surely seems to think enough of its customers do.

Apple's mobile devices run an operating system that has this same requirement with the same bypass. MacOS also prompts for a password during set up. Android phones prompt for a Google account on set up.
The ad hominem hyperbole turned me against your much simpler - add moral hazard - argument. Do tell, which universities provide this degree in basket weaving that you denigrate? Sure, you may have drawn on this often invoked mythical degree as a standin for courses of study that you see as useless and valueless but implicitly know would quickly and easily get called out for revealing your bias about obviously subjective determinations of worth. Maybe basket weaving is really art or history or the study of native cultures. And there are plenty of smart people who have been 2.6 GPA students at some point, as GPA is not a measure of intelligence but an abstraction that simply measures one's ability to adhere to and excel at a fairly arbitrary framework.

Moral hazard may or may not be a simple, good solution but your argument for it, as presented, disincentivizes me from even considering it, since so much seemed to be missed in the argument, the same was probably true for consideration of the solution.
AMD already has open drivers. I suppose Dell could apply more pressure by shipping laptops with AMD GPUs instead of NVidia.
I think they’d do better by taking the kids who understand the material and asking them to work with the kids who don’t. You learn as much by teaching as doing, if not more.

The current bad teachers that get the pay rise would just be lucky. The value there would be for 5+ years down the line as more highly effective, ambitious people choose teaching as a career path and take teaching positions that future bad teachers would have received.

This (opinion) article seems to be making the claim that separating out all of the top kids makes the group not selected perform worse.

(The measurement of "achievement" used is percentage of students failing a rudimentary algebra class and percentage of students enrolling in an advanced mathematics class)

This seems uncontroversial -- the smart kids will benefit the rest by their presence, and being labelled as not-smart probably doesn't help achievement very much.

But the purpose of separating out the really gifted kids was never for the benefit of the folks that couldn't cut it -- it was for the benefit of the gifted kids so that they could actually achieve at the level of their ability.

It seems to me quite uncontroversial that removing all of the disruptive kids and eliminating all of the remedial study time would aid students that are both interested and able to achieve.

I think you're implicitly talking about a classic style 2-door pickup truck, but most consumer trucks these days seem to have four doors.

Small two door pickup trucks are even more extinct, at least in the US. I remember seeing a new Mazda pickup truck in the showroom, probably a B-series circa 1995, and it was tiny, had steel wheels, a relatively long bed, and probably a manual transmission. Price was maybe half what trucks today cost, adjusted for inflation. It's been a long time since there was a market for those.
Having new “one-time” charges every quarter means those are not one-time charges. They’re part of the business, which means the business doesn’t work.

One of Ubers biggest problems is that they have zero brand loyalty. For a company that sells a utility (get me, or my food, from A to B) rather than an experience (like a cool vacation in a unique mansion), I will always pick the cheapest option. Whether that’s Uber or Bobs Taxis it doesn’t matter. That means this whole business is a race to the bottom. Profits will stabilize at approximately zero for everyone in that business.
The second huge problem is that nothing about providing this utility (neither the driving itself, nor the human labor required of the driver) has decreased since Uber came into existence. Driving a car from A to B still costs the same per mile (gas or electricity and wear and tear), and the driver still costs the same per hour (at least minimum wage). Uber has only made finding the ride more efficient but it has not made the actual ride itself more efficient. So in the best case, Uber can be as profitable as a taxi company. But ONLY if it raises its prices to taxi company levels. And then it’s a taxi company. Taxis are expensive for a reason, because without a VC subsidy they have to be profitable to exist.
And what if there are robot drivers? Wouldn’t that eliminate at least the human cost? It would. But it would do so for every other transport company as well, and by the same amount. Since there is no customer loyalty for a transport like this, Uber would still be fighting the same competitors in a similar race to the bottom.
In summary, nothing can save Uber.

It might just be that I’m a complete asshole, but I grew up in Mississippi feeling very isolated and estranged from everyone around me. I think I definitely felt like I was bullied when I was very young. But by high school and college, I was being outright toxic to people.

If I am generous to myself, a lot of that could be attributed to anxiety, depression, lack of examples of how to behave pro-socially in my life, being in Mississippi (which as far as I can tell might truly be the worst place in all of the US). But I was still as much of bully as a lot of other people, maybe more.

I don’t think that’s an isolated event.
Harvard is a weird example to use.

There are many value investment videos saying that BMW is a much better investment than Tesla. It already producing lots of EVs and making money on them.

GIGO
The problem is we can't launch another Voyager mission. The Voyagers took advantage of the planets being aligned in just the right way to allow them slingshot through the outer solar system. This won't happen again for another 100 years or so.

Now we could design probes that are just for going into interstellar space but it would be a hard sell when you are competing against missions like sending a drone to Titan. Even the New Horizons mission to Pluto barely made it through NASA's project selection process and IMO expanding our knowledge of Pluto is more valuable (and sellable to the public) than a mission to literally nothing.
I read somewhere that this is behind the awful stereotypes in the merchant of venice. Because of the historical prohibitions within the religion, loans were taken out with lenders from outside the religion.
The gifted kids are bullied by their very nature, because they are different. They have abilities that create envy in others. That envy prompts bullying to neutralize their abundance.

Someone with abundance in a community of scarcity is a target for bullying. That bullying robs the individual and society of those gifts.

So, yes, we protect the gifted, precisely so their gifts survive to benefit all of society, including the bullies. That's the irony. The gifted want by their nature to share their gifts and do so -- even with the bullies and at their own expense.

The average individual is much less likely to be bullied and thus need less protection.
Allowing kid A the opportunity to move at an accelerated pace with other high achieving kids does not affect the opportunity afforded to kid B. Education is not a zero-sum game.
Hmmm, I'd beg to differ.

I lived at home, with my parents, and went to a state school and paid in-state tuition. Found online PDFs of all my textbooks, and I'm still just barely scraping in at under 40,000. This is from 2016 to 2020 (finishing up my last few courses over the next 6 months.) And the administration is still considering (aka going to pass) an 11% tuition increase, after a 9% increase just 2 years ago.

It's even worse for people who don't live near a university and need to live on campus, pay for meal plans, etc.
And I agree with this 100%. I think that if we could somehow by fiat pay teachers as much as we paid doctors or lawyers we would attract the same calibre of talent. But we pay teachers as much as janitors or secretaries and somehow expect them to inspire intellectuals.
