One in five Americans cannot name any of the branches of government. Only 46% know each state has two senators. It is extremely difficult to get people to retain any knowledge they neither use nor care about.

Teaching children how to organize to solve their own problems would be antithetical to the incentives of any normal school’s administration. Children who can self-organize to oppose them are a threat. If people wanted children to learn how to organize, be capable and be self-efficacious democratic schools like Summerhill or Sudbury would be vastly more popular. They don’t. They want childcare that teaches children to sit down, shut up and do as they’re told.

It's interesting to note the size of the download for a city. Guess it's related to the complexity of the road network, not necessarily the number of roads. Interesting to think about the "entropy" of a city's network and compare between cities. For instance, Sydney AU is 25Mb, but NYC is only 11Mb. Even tho population of NYC is ~e x Sydney.
> If you buy a house today for $500k on a 30-year you'll spend close to a million dollars before you own it if you ride the loan out, and adjusted for inflation, you will probably take a loss on it. Possibly a large loss. Unless we see mass immigration the market 30 years from now is simply going to be smaller.

It really depends where your $500k house is located. "Location, location, location" is the saying for a reason. If your home is in an area with continued economic opportunity and growth and it has not been destroyed by climate change related severe weather events, it doesn't matter that much what the macroeconomic housing market is doing; your property will be in demand.

>we must expect and accept that children from broken, impoverished, or abusive homes will just be, well, screwed in comparison to their better off peers.

It is worth noting that a world where children from broken, impoverished (etc.) homes are not disadvantaged is a world where one cannot advantage one's own kids.

There is of course a strong argument for significant societal investment in keeping children from broken homes from raising broken homes of their own.
Don't forget internships.. it's essentially a hiring pipeline that is only available on students..

It's a lot easier to get hired when you are given a multi-month internship to prove yourself. Instead of having to prove yourself in 5x45min interviews.

(On the other hand students don't have experience to draw on)
Not sure if it’s true, but I heard Facebook did a hiring freeze on junior engineers for a while. Too much technical debt accumulating too fast.
I think Daniel's ideas are very similar to the sentiments of pretty much everyone fed up with Social Media and their censorship and the fact that a few monopoly tech companies control the flow of information nowadays (FANG+Twitter), rather than the original free "web of documents" Tim Berners Lee created.

Web3.0, IPFS, blockchain, etc. are what will end the 'non-document-capable' web that we all seem to now be experiencing.

For example if you go to someone's blog, it's on some site, and if that site goes away, that document is gone forever. That's the problem. We need an internet that is more like a massive public blockchain than a small number of monopoly sites trying to feed you enough stuff to collect information to sell about you.
I think I understand what the author is trying to say.
For me the feeling that you are browsing a "web of documents" is that you know that you are clicking around for information. It is very basic. You look at and read a page with some links. You find something interesting and click on a lick. This produces a deterministic action: another page loads with some links. That's it. It might look slightly different but it doesn't move around when components are loading dynamically, no pop-ups, no red "1" badges that try to grab your attention. It will either load slowly or it will load fast, it won't alternate between the two while loading.

The main focus is the content of the document and the other content it leads to. Not the style, the features, the tech that it uses to load the content. I compare it to books. Most books are the same, predictable. They will have text and some images on pages. When turning a page it will show another page. It wont suddenly ask you to log in or go buy another book in the middle of this one. The covers of the books are slightly different but the basic function is the same. That's it.

IE should just be a compatibility mode in edge so you only have one program and a button to say "this page is broken, load in legacy mode". That way everyone else in the world can stop being forced to support IE users.
Obvious question that’s been asked a million times: who the hell is gonna pay for this web of “documents”? Producing and distributing “documents” costs money; this web of “documents” is all well and good for hobbyist stuff (and we do still have a subweb of documents of personal websites) but breaks down when people rely on it to put bread on the table.

They certainly don’t teach that. Kids who can’t sit down and shut up are given free reign to disrupt everyone else.
This and the parent comment are weird romanticized (and uninformed) notions of simple country farmers who are scraping a living, country peasant style, trading stories on their grizzled/smiling faces as they keep a 100 year old family tradition alive.

Fair enough. Do you have a specific question regarding the standards, or an opinion on if this should have been allowed?

In my experience, the standard for mammal studies is the experiment must be of scientific merit and minimize unnecessary harm to the animals. nonhuman primates are treated separate and have a much higher bar.

If you admitted to cheating on your degree, and your university found out and revoked your degree, then you'd probably expect to get fired from your job if you no longer have the qualification you said you did. Being a top 10 kagglester is a qualification (and a highly prestigious one at that).

IPFS and blockchains are the technological solution here.

Just looked at my browser history and looks like I roughly performed 110 searches during past 24 hours and that's probably because I'm having bit slow day. Vast majority of searches were in fact work related (research papers, deep learning, coding, python, pytorch etc). I can't speak for others but I feel ultra-accelerated because of tools like Google. The knowledge hunting would be approximately 3-5 orders of magnitude slower otherwise.
I'm not excluding them. If they do just knock out a random 'good first bug', then that's actually great and welcome. But there seems to be a pattern of people who heard that contributing to open source is good for their CV, this ends up being their only motivation, and they expect hand-holding from project maintainers or for their patches to be accepted without scrutiny (or, if they are receptive to feedback, their patches are just really low quality and require a lot of review iterations).

It's those last points that can be a problem, because it can cause their contribution to become net-negative.

A mentally handicapped person belongs to the species of sentient beings which I have placed at the top of the hierarchy for its typical/average characteristic of high intelligence. The mentally handicapped should be treated very well under my framework, because a cruel lottery has robbed them of some of the intelligence that they otherwise would have had. Even then, the vast majority of them are capable of more abstraction than any animal that we know of. Additionally, they trigger my mirror neurons, which I assume had some degree of influence on my arbitrary ethical framework. Those same mirror neurons would be triggered by a teddy bear with human intelligence by the way, even if it’s a mentally challenged member of a species of sentient teddy bears with human-level intelligence.

I am not bothered by the arbitrariness of my framework, so long as it is internally consistent. I do not believe you have revealed an inconsistency. Find me a dolphin that has 200 unique calls, and I’ll show you how its language doesn’t meet the esoteric definition of abstraction which I am using, one which is not any less esoteric than yours, just as my ethics are no less arbitrary than yours.

I am entirely, exhaustively aware of the subjectivity of intelligence. What are words such as “intelligence” other than imperfect summaries with some degree of private meaning to the speaker that is never 100% conveyed into the listener’s brain? I can further break intelligence into a series of abstraction hurdles that humans meet but not animals, but that increases entropy beyond what I believe is necessary here.
I'd really like to believe that the embracing open source is different than the embrace, extend, extinguish mantra they had. I really do see a different attitude towards developers with VSCode, GitHub, Bash on Windows, etc (long time Mac user here - not on the Microsoft bandwagon).

For the OS Ads... I also see red. But I try not to forget that a corporation isn't a person, it's a large group of people. History doesn't mean that a corporation always acts the same with the same incentive structure. Look at Apple over the years. Now corporations do have a culture derived from history (and leadership obviously). And that culture is different in different places of a large company. I believe the ads in the OS is something that is culturally wrong with the group developing that OS. And likely, knowing nothing of Microsoft's structure, the culture of the people working on the projects I mentioned above is drastically different than that team.

Point is, because Microsoft is a large organization it can be "evil" and "good", it depends where you look. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.
You could try:

%06.*g

for width 6 down to 1.

I believe this will always find an answer, and the one with the largest number of significant digits.

For example:

void format(double val, int width, char* buf) {
for (int w = width; w > 0; w--) {
int count = sprintf(buf, "%06.*g", w, val);
if (count == width) return;
}
}

My high school art teacher made us make color wheels using red, yellow, and blue paint. She showed us books that use these "primary colors" and said that this makes them more pleasing to children.

I thought about it for a moment. If these are the primary colors, why aren't they what printers use? Printers use cyan, magenta, and yellow. And there's a great symmetry there, since those are all the secondary colors to light's primary red, green, and blue, which are the colors used in computer monitors. And the only thing that makes these colors primary to us is that they're the colors that the cones in our eyes perceive.

So I decided to experiment. When I made my color wheel, I substituted blue for cyan and red for magenta. The color wheel I produced was much more vibrant and beautiful.

There are a lot of things my school teachers tried to teach me that show up on wikipedia's common misconceptions list. For example, the "equal-transit-time explanation of aerofoil lift". I got pretty jaded about this stuff. Now I don't trust anyone's explanations unless I can understand them on a deeper level.

I love the idea of a web of documents, but I would love it even more if it was a web of documents you could edit collaboratively.

So blue/green and green/yellow seem like more plausible categories than blue and green. I can see red, but green pretty much looks like bluish yellow.

> Any rigid structure of governance that is focused on anything else will eventually fail.

I don't think we are contradicting each other. The need to feel free and have flexibility in certain aspects of governance is a political need that needs to be balanced. An education in governance should address this aspect so that citizens are more tuned-in to abuses of office and institutions that infringe on freedoms that most citizens have not chosen to yield to the government.

Even though we were not contradicting each other, I do not completely agree with this.

> In a government, the primary need is that the people feel free, feel like they're not being ordered around by a dictator, that they can have fun or do what they want or set their own rules.

I think you recognize that this freedom here is quite qualified. The freedom to do what we want or set our own rules certainly need to be qualified at least around to the extent that they do not cause negative consequences to other people. Where the exact boundaries are are always shifting depending on the specific circumstances and population, and this is why various needs need to be balanced by government; i.e. the extent of this freedom is being balanced by other societal needs.

Hence I would say that prima facie, a primary objective is a balance of freedom and well-being of the citizenry, with neither need superior over the other.

On the other hand,

> [the freedom to] set their own rules

may sometimes be done most efficiently and reliably through governmental institutions, using government institutions to conduct certain self-funded voluntary programs.

Their definition is, "A beachhead market is the place where, once you gain a dominant market share, you will have the strength to attack adjacent markets with different opportunities, building a larger company with each new following" [1].

Nice to see an example of that in real life. Did Buildium eventually target adjacent or new markets?

Say your functional brain damage makes the ESSS sound difficult for you. In some languages it would be a huge barrier. In others, it might not be. But in a tonal language like Vietnamese, if you lost your musicality, I wonder if you'd suffer different functional loss in your tonal mis-speaks?

I think I get your point, they aren't inconsistent, but it would be odd if different language groups suffered statistically more problems from brain damage than others. I guess the role of language in survival comes to the fore here, we're all well north of its functional need to say me hungrey you pretty but you would think a language with less error survival for brain damage would have not developed as strongly as one with more inherent survivability (assuming language emerged long enough ago it has genetic roots still)
