I teach at the high school level. I don’t think we have figured it out yet; however, my personal belief is that it would require the crevasse between the high-volume/low-stakes instruction-focused assessment (which cannot be “trusted“ generally) with standardized assessment (which can be “trusted”)to be bridged in such a manner that the daily assessment that takes place all across the country, every single day, can be viewed as legitimate measures of student capability. Without being able to accurately measure student ability day to day, we will not be able to measure teacher effectiveness.

I would love to see a toolset like this come into being, but I have no ability to develop such tools.

Yeah, you're not going to get FM quality from 4kbps, so it's exactly like I said.

It might sound better to you because you're only listening to the channels they allocate the maximum bitrate to (i.e., the most popular ones). I don't listen to pop, so the stuff I tried listening to (hard rock and metal) sounded like total shit.

Here's a test for you: rip your favorite CD into FLAC, then encode this into a bunch of different MP3 or AAC streams of different bitrates. See what they sound like at 32kbps or worse. If that bitrate actually sounds fine to you, you might want to visit an audiologist and get your hearing checked. 64kbps will probably sound OK, depending on the codec (Ogg Vorbis and probably AAC will sound noticeably better than MP3), but nothing is going to sound good at 32 or less.

In short, XM does not have enough spectrum available to stream all those channels at a high-quality bitrate, so they devised this wacky scheme to allow them to broadcast some things at higher bitrates than others. While you don't need a high bitrate for talk radio of course, they also relegate many other music channels to lower bitrates, resulting in poor audio quality. Why would I pay $12/month or whatever for this? These days, if you insist on streaming music, you're better off just using your phone with a high or unlimited data plan and listening to Spotify or similar.

Sorry I'm going to be contrarian here but if "people can't afford kids", then why is it well established that poorer people have more kids while richer have fewer? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility).

Answering my own question.. I think the reason people are having fewer kids is more to do with urbanisation and all the social and cultural changes that come with that.

> I associate democracy with choice and Apple isn't really too active in that domain.

I was using "democracy" here to refer specifically to political influence of a citizen (or citizenry in the aggregate) over a state. "Democracy-enhancing" thus means "enabling or easing participation in acts of democracy" or "protecting the individual from things that would prevent them from participating in acts of democracy" (where "acts of democracy" are things like votes, campaigns, debates, referendums, demonstrations, and any associated acts of evangelism/recruitment toward those activities — basically anything listed in the "Ways citizens can participate" list here: https://www.civiced.org/resources/curriculum/lesson-plans/45...)

Most communications technologies are democracy-enhancing, even when they are actively surveilled by a state actor, since there are always some democratic acts that the state either doesn't really care about, or doesn't know how to watch for. But, of course, non-surveillable communications technologies are more democracy-enhancing.

> But in practice government would have more difficulties to include backdoors in Android for example

Note that the Chinese intelligence apparatus need not actually put any backdoors into individual Android devices, nor put any backdoors into upstream Android as an OS. They just need to request that Chinese OEMs like Huawei backdoor their own Android distributions, and then let the state shoulder-surf the results; while also helping the OEMs out with funding for PR campaigns that encourage the use of domestic OEM brands over foreign OEM brands. The government doesn't even need any developers to do this; just money and strongly-worded letters!

>They might've just lost their jobs, ended up late on rent, or going without medicine, but they were "only just detained."

Yes, and again, how many people default on their student debts each year? Probably x100 times more? And the outcome is more or less the same? And still ICE is the problem?

Honestly, I just don't understand the priorities here, and again, zero sarcasm. Student debt is 1.4 TRILLION dollars, if you dont repay it you end up late on rent, go without medicine, have your wage garnished, but let's revolt around 151 people each year being detained for some time.

Honestly, if I was looking for systematic persecution, I would rather look at student debt crisis, if I correctly understand what "systematic" and "policy failure" means. (English is my second language).

EDIT: "7.5 million student loan borrowers in default and nearly 2 million others seriously behind on their payments", source NYT. Surely 1511 beat 7 500 000 as "systematic" and "policy failure".

EDIT2: And if we speak frankly, "Young people in U.S. dying at high rates" is the reason their crippling 1.4T debt or their crippling fear of being detained by ICE?

The whole idea of AI is a mess. Cybernetics makes more sense because it is about optimizing outcome data: which according to Norbert Weiner, is essentially lowering local entropy. [1]

There was about a decade after Deep Blue's victory in 1997 when human/computer teams were the champions of centaur (human+computer) chess. The computer's ability to simulate many moves ahead plus a human's intuition was a winning combination. But as computers got better eventually the communication overhead meant that human/computer teams started losing to computers playing on their own with the human only slowing things down.

It would be nice if we got a decade of centaur Go but I'm not sure we will. While Deep Blue had fairly crude heuristics for guessing which lanes of inquiry were promising AlphaGo's strength is its intuition-like neural networks that it combines with a rigorous tree search. It's worth investigating whether human/computer teams are superior at Go right now but I wouldn't count on the answer being "yes." And I especially I wouldn't count on a full 10 years of combined dominance.

I believe that in Teslas, the main battery pack is for motive power, while the vehicle's electrical system (including doors and windows) is powered from a standard 12V car battery which is kept charged from the main battery pack.

Ah yes, TTD is a real game-changer. It compares fairly well with rr, though the recording overhead is often a lot higher. Lacks a lot of the Pernosco feature set though.

For what it's worth, I use "makes money" for creating value†, and "creates value" for the common sense.

For those interested in the topic, I've found the Lean Manufacturing literature helpful. They're usefully obsessed with creating customer value, meaning doing or making something valuable for their customer. Which has some of the problems you mentioned, in that traditional commerce mainly serves people in proportion to the money they have. But you can pretty easily extend the Lean approach to value to non-commercial situations.

”Almost any computer running Linux will operate faster and be more secure than the same computer running Windows.”

Mostly not true in my experience. Microsoft has teams doing boring whole-system benchmarking and holistic optimization. No similar central authority for performance exists on Linux.

Using your distro's package manager to setup your development environment is usually cumbersome. Perhaps it would be better to use something like Nix on top of your Gentoo to manage that, or even abusing your ~/.local directory with manual installs of the tools you want.
If you're still on Win 7, presumably you are very change averse. Or you depend on software that doesn't work any more on Win10. Those are the only obvious reasons that come to mind. In either case, switching to Linux would be the worst case scenario, and significantly worse than upgrading to Win10. .
The article agrees with you.

I do wonder if this could be a bipartisan issue, as it really does concern a lot of people online. It could easily become a wedge issue, “protect your children from the evil internet corporations—look the other side is doing nothing about it!”

* Did his levels actually get crossed? It could be that he never had the opportunity to get filled at the price he hoped for.

* What was his queue position? Stock exchanges tend to be price time ordered. If others had submitted orders at the same price before he had, they would have priority when getting filled.

* Apropos the prior point, was his broker actually submitting orders when he sent them? Some brokers may avoid showing deep out of the money orders, which could have affected his queue position.

I agree this attitude does come from privilege, but so what? If someone is fortunate enough to enjoy the privilege of not having to burden themselves with worry about things they can't control, why should they?

Also, there are many ways to improve the world and human society outside of the political process. If more people did what GP did and focused on their own personal well being and strengthening local/community/familial ties outside and apart of any political motivations, I think our culture and society would be the better for it.

I can definitely recommend e-readers for regular books (it's great when travelling) but for reference / textbooks I'm not sure I could.

Ask HN: Good solution for video chat on home TV?
I’ve been searching non-stop and even trying to build my own solution with a raspberry pi but I have not yet found a good solution for doing video chat between my daughter and her grandparents. I have a nice big 4K tv and would love a simple way to connect TV to TV and do a video chat.

1. FaceTime is great but when hooking iphone up to TV it does not rotate into landscape mode. A ridiculous shortcoming that’s been there for years.

2. Raspberry Pi 4 with a webcam. Works ok but mine overheats and lags when steaming 1080p from webcam and displaying content on my 4K tv. Also less friendly for the grandparents.

3. Tried a MacBook to MacBook with hdmi out on both TVs. Works ok but the laptop screen has to be open and you wind up looking at the laptop screen.

4. Haven’t tried the Facebook Portal device yet but that may work.

5. Buy a pro video conference solution. Haven’t given this serious thought because of cost. Over 1k in most cases.

Anybody have success doing this?

Hi im happy to day
That's the reason why customs reserves looong periods for reviews. They are currently prosecuting a couple of companies and people for that kind fraud that concerned solar module imports into the EU between 2015 and 2016. Customs are sticky with that. Black imports like drugs are, IMHO easier to hide than falsely declared goods as the latter leaves a paper trail.
The surveillance, tracking, and data processing abilities of well funded nation states today make either of those comparisons to what would happen in a future conflict between the US government and its own citizenry grossly inadequate.

In addition, the US military has been training for and getting real-world practice in small-scale urban conflict against guerrilla groups for decades now.

Gun hoarders with fantasies of effectively fighting against such a well-trained, well armed, incredibly technologically sophisticated adversary are deluding themselves.
I used Firefox on Mac Air for 3 years and never noticed battery issues. It went for 10h with usual browsing and video watching thrown in there. I would say the usual end user.

Unfortunately, marketshare numbers aren't lying as you say.

I still use it on all my machines and phones and try and get as many people as I can to try it out. Got some people to use it permanently.

I don't find any reason to use Chrome apart for testing (Chromium). As every day browsing option I really don't see a choice myself. It's Firefox.
There is in Firefox, but you have to force it via about:config because it's disabled by default.

In fact, Uber is aware of the fee being potentially unfair / a scam so they already expect you to contest it.

The last sentence of https://help.uber.com/riders/article/i-was-charged-a-cleanin... reads

"If you were charged a cleaning fee you feel is inaccurate or unfair, please let us know here."

The title of this article is very sensationalized. What does the author want? Removing the driver's ability to charge for cleanup fees is not reasonable. Sounds like letting them charge but allowing the rider to contest it is the right compromise. Perhaps asking drivers to upload a photo evidence of the incident would be a nice extra, but it's not like we're going to stop using ridesharing apps because this weird edge case might potentially hypothetically happen to us one day
