You can have plenty of great math teachers for $50k/yr in the US, or you can require most teachers to have a masters degree and still make $50k/yr, not both.

Plenty of people home school their children, and reportedly those children have great academic ability. I'm willing to wager the vast majority of those home schooling their kids aren't graduates of a teaching program.

Thanks to common core, I successfully taught a younger family member how to do long division, since common core doesn't teach long division for whatever reason, at least not at the age that we used to learn it. It was simple, intuitive, and I have no math teaching background. It took about 120 seconds to demonstrate the technique for the kid to get it and do it on their own.

It's not a question of funding, it's a question of policy. People want their cake and eat it too. Kids failing in basic mathematics all over the country? Maybe we should overhaul the education system, get rid of useless subjects like science, history, art, 'every kid learns a second language now,' and focus on literacy and mathematics.

I'm not advocating for anything. All I'm doing is attempting to point out that it's really hard to have a rational discussion about something when people can't agree on basic concepts and definitions. And the problem in America now is this: we can't even agree on what "socialism" is, or whether we want it or not.

Just try having a conversation with the average American voter (esp. in rural districts) about "socialism" vs. "social democracy" vs. whatever, and see how far you get. They're probably going to say Denmark is "socialist" because they saw it on Fox News. But these are the people electing the leadership here (or about half of it anyway). We have two "sides", and even many on your side probably would have a hard time with these concepts. It's no wonder things are so broken here, and I don't see how it can get better any time soon when the two sides can't even have a rational discussion because they can't even agree on basic language or concepts.
No, the generous "financial aid" policies of many universities amount to perfect price discrimination. They meet "one hundred percent of demonstrated need"; their phrase, not mine. This means they calculate how much you can afford to pay and charge you that much. That' is every monopolist's/oligopolist's dream. Oh, and they don't show how they calculate that "demonstrated need". I got prices much higher than what I could afford.

There are enough heart attacks (and other issues of an emergency nature where it's difficult to go do comparison shopping) that the health care system clearly needs to account for that sort of situation.
The second sounds like hub-and-spoke, where you have pods of 2-4 people clustered around common area. (I enjoy that as well.)

Open concept is usually more like 20-40 in a giant pen without any sort of separation or soundproofing between.

Studies suggest hub-and-spoke is good; open concept is high density feedlots applied to white collar work.
Private offices aren't cubes. You can still hear conversations with cubicles. And if you have an office with more than one person, the long conversation still disrupts the other people in the office.

Long conversations do deserve private space, but this can be resolved by having ample meeting spaces.
Thanks! I actually did apply to patent the design, but it was rejected based on being a "useful article"( a box) with no non-useful design element that could be copyrighted. Glad to hear that you like the design! It's whacky to see my old work on the front page of HN.
After trying it twice, I'm pretty sure that there is no amount of compensation that would get me to agree to work in an open office space.

Sorry, but this image is hilarious.
I did a 10 day trek in Patagonia last year. Best experience of my life.

I totally agree. Not having any any tech with me, allowed me to live in the moment. I remember every part vividly, and have some of the best memories spending time with others on the trail, cooking breakfast, setting up and tearing down camp, and enduring crazy weather. Just simple things that we take for granted everyday, just felt rewarding and great to do. It was a crazy realization that you don't need all of this stuff we filled our lives with. You really can get by just fine with less.

I can't wait for the next opportunity I have to just get away from all the tech noise.
isn't this for cost savings though? I don't think its a fad.
>Sub-par care is excellent when the current reality is that most people don't get access to any care at all.

>You must understand that the vast, vast majority of people don't go to doctors. They don't have dentists.

Uhh… what? This sounds either out of scope for the US or just wildly inaccurate. Over 90% of Americans have insurance.

Edit: I do not live in a bubble. I stand by this comment, "only" 1/3 delay medical treatment [0]. The claim that the vast, vast majority of people never get it at all is simply false. Fact checks do not bear counterargument in a healthy discussion unless the fact check itself is lie.

If education in the USA is underfunded, then education is underfunded in pretty much every country. The USA pays more per student than Japan, Sweden, Germany, and Korea. Look:

https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cmd.asp

So that isn't the problem, at least relative to the rest of the world.

The worst schools in the USA seem to spend the most. Maybe the money is anti-educational, being used to purchase distractions. DC is spending well over $30,000 per student. At that rate, DC could easily pay 300k for a teacher. It would only require the funds from 1/3 of the class.
The concept of "Social anxiety" really doesn't explain it fully IMHO. The concept may even sound like a label of being wimpy, retarded or scared, which is probably not true at all - or can be made true/untrue depending on circumstances!

It's more about what kind of loads your brain are optimized for (when feeling "drained" after social exposure for a full day), being exceedingly more sensitive than most, maybe even exposing more shenanigans at earliest opportunity.

What helps is being encouraged to decide yourself, taking matters in your own hands. Making decision yourself to go into an unfamiliar environment, while having opportunity to withdraw etc. would be empowering and allow for adjustments by the individual herself. This requires a platform in the environment though, which takes time for everybody to adjust to. However such general empowerment in the environment benefits all in the end.

These are not an unfounded view or wishful thoughts in my experience, though people will have different experiences.
I frequently am disenchanted with the new sugar the Swift project introduces. They add way too much surface area to the language by allowing too many ways to do a given thing. When you're looking at a particular line of code, it's very difficult to tell what exactly is going on without pulling up declaration sites for multiple involved things because there's too much magic.

This time around it's callAsFunction. Yeah, pretty easy to understand in their toy example. When it's deployed IRL with a ton of other things going on, and larger distances between declaration and usage, it looks like a nightmare.

I love writing Swift for myself, but I write it in a pretty boring way. When I have to work with people who get creative and clever, it's awful.
> By "copy-only" I meant something you couldn't have more than one reference to: every name (variable) to which you assign the data would have its own independent copy.

That's not really a requirement of value types, no. C# has value types (structs) and you can have references to them as well (ref & out params).

In general though yes it would be typically copied around, same as an 'int' is. Particularly if Java doesn't add something equivalent to ref/out params.
I recommend you look into the history of why these sorts of regulations exist. Start here: https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/149661

Where this falls down is that there were other capitalist countries that didn't do the bad things you describe. I challenge you to name a single experiment in communism that didn't lead to worse outcomes.
I'm pretty sure a lot of stock firmware is based on OpenWRT or used to be, though I'm pretty sure most of them lag well behind the current version. I haven't paid much attention for a while, but I think a lot were based on Kamikaze which is more than 10 years old now.

For the vendors with access to closed-source drivers and chipset info they can likely support devices not supported on the open source packages.

Edit: Per Wikipedia, "Qualcomm's QCA Software Development Kit (QSDK) which is being used as a development basis by many OEMs is an OpenWrt derivative"

It also notes Ubiquiti's wireless router firmware as being derived from OpenWRT, but I thought I remembered discussion of Ubiquiti being derived from a different open source distribution - unless perhaps the routers and wireless devices don't share a code base.
One problem I see here is considering it to be wasteful...
Performance is a solved problem nowadays, latency isn't. Especially with cloud-based software being pushed.
The benefits of a tweaked linux kernel, such as liquorix are easy to spot. Yes, slightly reduced brute performance but large leaps in smoothness.
In that case depression is the life-threatening ailment, not the acne. Just like pneumonia is the reason you go to the ER, not a common cold on the off-chance it might later become pneumonia.

Also by the way, the requirement to provide care to any walk-in patient only applies to ER's, and only until they have stabilized the patient.
Yep, for example salmon and other fatty fish is widely recognized to be highly healthy food from cardiovascular point of view, and definitely doesn't increase cancer risk.

In their defense, probably every piece of software of any complexity at all has bugs waiting to be found, and it's not super surprising that they found some new ones while doing a rigorous testing regimen.
It's harder to have conversations in an open office because they disturb non-participants. I find myself wasting time booking conference rooms when I could have simply popped into so-and-so's office.

I remember a long long time ago when the company I worked for did a big move and went from offices to cubes. I was young and naive and willing to try the experiment but within a month or two I regretted the change and things haven't gone back since.

I'd prefer sharing an office rather than an entire floor.
My company keeps threatening to make this change. But just before they do something happens and they say they don’t have the budget. When they do actually make this change I think I will look for another job.

Yes, it often does in a broad sense. But there is a lot more to power management. Things like putting busses and devices into low power states when idle, and batching up I/O so that devices can spend most of their time in low-power states. Scheduler tweaks to idle most of the cores, etc.
Im curious why such a sad book caught on as a "children's classic". Does anyone know the story behind how?
Waterfall represents the default approach to managing chaos. One or two programmers with a single customer have an easy time getting a job done. When the budget gets into the millions, the project fails from having too many chefs in the kitchen, etc. So the gut reaction is to overload the front end with process. Finish requirements first, create a high level design, split it up into components that can be implemented, create a detailed design for each component, implement the design, integrate, test. I heard a ton of times as a consultant from average people, "we needed to specify more of this up front and create better designs ahead of implementation."

It doesn't work this way because software development is the process of figuring out the actual requirements and a good design. You don't have to follow an agile methodology to acheive a successful project, but you do have to have feedback loops that reduce the risk of wasted effort.

In the engineering analogy, I like to tell people that the compiler is the builder. All coding is an exercise in architecture and engineering that produces a detailed design (the code).
Does bloat even apply nowadays to Linux? On arch you can compile and optimise your software well and ryzens have upwards of 256KB instruction cache.

This doesn't work for a lot of people, including myself. Being sonically cut off from the environment causes many people a great deal of anxiety and stress.
Embedded video says "15% more than previous black metal samples", though that's still a bit non-specific.
> I think the "didn't fit into Canadian culture, or found something imminently attractive about US life" may be reading too much into things.

That is probably true for Canadians. It is definitely easier, faster, and more accessible for a Canadian to immigrate to the US. Fewer reasons can be enough.

For immigrants from other countries even though good jobs is one of the priorities it does not always justify immigrating. There are often other additional factors that push people to immigrate.
Capitalists write the laws.
I fully agree with you until the part about the USA. Yes, it's true that the US aren't a reluctant ally but an enthusiastic one; but this is because the US have been led to believe through relentless lobbying and propaganda that their interests always coincide with those of Israel. Which is of course not true, and cannot be true by definition. But the level of confusion is such that Kushner, who as a government official was given a top secret security clearance (besides being in charge of delivering a "peace plan" between Israel and Palestine) was also on the board of a "charity" collecting money for Israel's army. Let that sink in: someone who was collecting money to fund the army of a foreign country was given an official government role and a top secret security clearance!
> There's also significant selection bias on the entry side. U.S. immigration policies are heavily biased towards people with unique skills, high levels of education, and a fair amount of money in their home country

Categorically false! Most of immigration to the US is family based; actually about two-third of them.

We have the exact same problem with Typescript. We've solved it with an extremely judicious use of the linter, which prohibits certain constructs, certain patterns, and tries its best to get rid of weird features. The first thing I thought when I read `callAsFunction` was "sounds like a new lint rule someone has to write to disable that garbage."

I'm not sure how invested your team is in Swift, but since we do nothing but Typescript, the investment in time (2-3 days for one the lead engineer) tweaking the linter has more than paid off ten-fold in the months since.
Where can one find the dd-wrt you used for your c7? I have the same device and have been unable to get it to flash anything other than official firmware.
Anyway, the point is that aeroplanes _do_ fly. I have been in an aeroplane that flew, and it flew using wings that had engines attached to them. I have also seen a variety of planes fly through the sky, and they have all had either engines or propellors propelling them.

Wings alone are not enough. An aeroplane that only has wings does not have enough "thrust" to continue flying. It's as simple as that.
I disagree on the comprtition argument. In Eastern Europe competition for teaching jobs could not be lower. It's one of the lowest paying and most stressful jobs out there.

However, everyone I know from there thinks that American level of school education is lower, especially in STEM. So they send their children here in NorCal to extra math classes.

> an elucidation of the inputs and the procedure by which an output is generated does not an explanation of the system make.

That was exactly my point. Are we talking past each other?

My point here, if you wish to engage with it, is that when we evaluate trust in an AI system, we care about how good it is. And it is the case that quality is very often anti-correlated with explainability.

Suppose your life depends on winning a game of Go. Would you want AlphaZero on your side, or a Go engine that would present you with a list of the options it evaluated, so you can verify its decision? Of course, AlphaZero would beat the latter program every time.

If this desire for explainability is taken seriously, the result is that we'll end up picking methods that perform worse, and this will cause real world harm as AI becomes a larger part of life critical systems.

I think you're missing the point. They're creating content to answer questions that someone is searching for. If you're creating content for "cat adoption", the likely intent of the search is to learn more about the process of adopting cats. You're not answering a question if you create content around how great it is to adopt cats. You're more likely to answer the question by writing about the process of adopting cats.

I agree. But we should keep in mind that there's no such thing as a bad apple; we can't blame individual executives or regulators.

It's a bad barrel: a company that has, on a cultural level, put its business motive above its responsibility to deliver a safe and high-quality product. We have seen documented evidence that employees knew there were dangers and problems, and discussed these issues, but nobody cared enough to slow things down and get the product right.
Yep, the impact of social links is pretty low on their own. You do, however, get these 2 benefits:

- If your content gets a ton of views, people will start Googling for it and clicking your result, specifically. This will increase your CTR, which is a known ranking factor.
- People who LOVE your content on Reddit or wherever will link to your website from their blog (hence, more backlinks).
> It's not normal for corporations to dwarf most of the nations in the UN in terms of GDP.

It has been, actually, normal for there to be corporations with revenue dwarfing the GDP of most nations on Earth (the UN is a recent distraction) for nearly as long as joint stock corporations have been a thing.

Largely because GDP isn't exactly equally distributed among countries; the median GDP of a country on Earth right now is only in the neighborhood of $15 billion, which is in the neighborhood of the GDP of a quite small city in the developed world.

“Free market” is a non-existent abstract ideal, not a thing that actually exists or can exist.
OpenWRT doesn't guarantee support of all hardware. I have a router flashed to a certain version with a newer kernel, and the Wifi doesn't work because of no driver available.
Neither of those represent the same semantics of:

Which is guaranteed to be always stack-allocated or stored in registers, again you cannot retrofit semantics, specially when passing those classes to binary libraries.

I've had really high quality support from GCP and a nice human touch when I accidentally ran up a $10,000 TPU bill on my own personal project. I emailed them, saying I don't actually have that kind of money, and they not only wiped the whole bill, they refunded all the money which had been charged to my debit card and already removed from my bank account.

Very communicative, real people responding...couldn't have asked for more. Also I personally feel the UI on GCP is far more human-centered/focused than either AWS or Azure.

To me, GCP is the most "human" cloud service offering so far. I get the criticism when it's applied to GMail or Google Maps but I really don't understand that as applied to GCP.
