I had an exchange year during High School where I moved from Germany to Florida for a year and attended a public school.
I hate to say this but to me the classes were laughably easy. While I was a 10th grader in Germany I could have easily graduated there.

I do however favour the US system of individual classes where you could advance in e.g. Mathematics but if you had trouble with language you could take a less-intensive course.

This doesn't work in Germany. You either advance with all subjects at once or you don't. One of the most stupid things that I have witnessed. In our 11th/12th grade we would have a huge difference between grades. About 20% of people were getting straight A's while over a third struggled to even pass. Barely anyone in the mid-range. Terrible system which makes it really really hard for teachers to teach a class.
Basic economics, when times goed bad, you skip the things you want and focus on the things you need.
> cheap

Anything can be "cheap" arbitrarily. Just a few comments above other people insist 10G/40G switches and setups are "cheap". But there's a reason people don't flock to buy these for home. Most don't feel they need them enough to justify the extra cost and effort of buying. You can be sure that tech preferences of HN people are as far from generally applicable as it gets.
We should be live again now. Let me know if it works. I would love to get your feedback!

I totally disagree with your point around power and weight.

In my experience (as a decently fit regular rider riding a lightweight city bike in a city with a big cycling culture and lots of e-bikes around) the only time I don’t get toasted by an e-bike is if the rider chooses not to.

Many basic e-bikes have 250w motors; the Vanmoof’s is apparently more powerful. 250w plus a little extra from the rider is a significant amount of power to put out, in riding terms. Putting out ~300w for more than a few seconds is likely beyond the abilities of most commuting riders. More serious regular riders could likely do it for some minutes, but usually wouldn’t want to do so, dressed in office gear, on a commute.

Last data point: my girlfriend has a big heavy e-MTB with a 250w motor. I have to work hard on a high end CF road bike to keep up out of junctions. Off the line, with the immediacy of the motors power, is actually one of the big advantages.
Out of curiosity, can you mention a few you consider are raising?

I think in the UK it is easy - both universities are ranked as excellent!
That actually sounds like it might work. I know a lot of people who just scraped through exams but excelled in University as well as a number who aced their exams but struggled and/or dropped out in University (admittedly this was more due to picking easy subjects in High School).
See https://github.com/divan/txqr for this use case. Other probably exist. It can be useful sometimes to not bother with any network at all, e.g. an international museum machine streaming map and documentation for tourists.
This is the journey that everybody who likes music is expected to take. Just make sure that you don't travel too far and end up where you just assess the quality of the performance - a situation where the music itself is of secondary importance.

Music is technical and cultural. You can always be true to your roots and stick with the heavy metal.

The mathematical competence of Australian students relative to international peers has been declining for 16 years.

Australia is terrible at maths given its levels of wealth. By one measure students in Kazakhstan perform better.

This would be a national scandal if not for the anti-intellectualism that pervades the nation.

This is one of the reasons I think Australia (my home country) is in big trouble economically in the long-term.

It's very interesting because in the examples you described (music and programming at least), I sometimes feel limited by the tools I know.

I studied music theory for about 5 years more than 10 years ago and remember some of it. I like to compose music and sometimes like you said I'm really losing a lot of time/energy because I don't master the basics.
Yet some other times, I don't even think about music theory and let my inspiration go - and it's often better quality.

I find this effect to be true in programming as well. I find myself restricted by the frameworks I know and sometimes my mind can't think outside of it.

Not initially, but now maintained, yes. Safe to assume illegally imported (at least the rifles), and certainly illegally used according to Mexican law.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Mexico)

Mexico is an interesting case because it's constitution protects gun ownership, but increasing revisions and laws limit it more than, say, France. These laws were passed in response to a massacre... by the government.
This is a question close to my heart.

I was a huge fan of Russian Math and Science books and I used them to study for an entrance exam to IIT (its more difficult to get into IIT than Harvard) and came out in top 100 in the country.

But, inspite of coming out at the top of the exam, I found Russian maths books very interesting and sometimes very difficult to master.

This coming from a country full of brilliant mathematicians. Russian math books are not only hardcore compared to US - they are hardcore compared to India also!!

One particular example is V. A. Krechmar.

https://www.amazon.in/Problem-Book-Algebra-V-Krechmar/dp/935...

If you consider yourself good in maths, try solving the problems from this book!

There is simply no comparison of Soviet Math Books with the rest of the world. US is so far behind that this comparison is not apt. The closest is Indian Math books or books from Cambridge like S. L. Loney.
Having 2 to 3 keywords for the exact same purpose seems like a nightmare. Do we need `def`, `fun`, and `function`? Just pick one and only one.

On another note, the docs are not so good. They're really missing a few real life examples with unit tests.

The ISA buyer doesn’t have any control of or influence over whether or how much someone works (nor how much they earn). If the ISA seller wants to spend their whole life relaxing on a beach, they can.

So, although you may not like ISAs, comparing it to slavery trivializes actual slavery.

Also, it seems like you’re being cynical without realizing it.
> most new music from 2000-2020 I think is total utter crap

Oooh here we go. What music have you listened to? Popular music or the very long tail of new artists and bands that are now able to produce and release good music from their home without the big publishers (although spotify, soundcloud, apple music etc are now the big publishers).

Because I personally disagree. I'm more into metal myself and I dig a lot of the stuff that came out after 2000. New genres and subgenres have popped up or come into their strength (folk, djent, synthwave, etc). I'm listening to a varied playlist right now of skillful musicianship, most of which from after 2010: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2h4EoZIoRbUAJnHlHE1eHM?si=...

Anyway I object to a statement "this is utter crap"; you're presenting your personal opinion as a hard fact which is a big part of everything that is wrong today.

At one point people will get bored of these ambiguous modern UI with hidden fields and gestures, and made of 50 shades of light grey that only a calibrated display can render with any discernable contrast.

The way IBM handles this is pretty bad. No company, especially the ones selling a security product, should ignore security researchers reports and feedbacks

Also the bugs described in article are quite surprising since for a IBM-sized company, you expect them to have solid authentication/authorization framework which they use for all their products.
Is this a acquired product? Authentication mechanism is very unusual. Why would anyone save a session id coming from the user? This is more than trusting user input, I think.

Also ../../etc/passwd attack is a kind of vulnerability that almost every automated vulnerabilty scanner scans.

Most people assume that authenticated pages do not need that much security precautions however as articles shows, when combined with authentication bypass vulnerabilities, you basically give keys of your systems to the attacker.

Until only a couple of months ago, the iOS app required you to click through each creator to see their posts only. There was no central news feed like the website and the most obvious way to consume such content.

They -finally- fixed this about two months ago.

Deep linking also often failed for me, i.e. I got a push notificaiton, I click the notification, and I end up on the first creator in my list's news feed rather than what I clicked. That also seems finally fixed now in the same update.

So I'm glad they fixed it but I have no idea what they were doing for the last few years...

I realise they can't/don't want new revenue on iOS due to not being able to use their own billing system for electronic goods and losing a chunk of the revenue but I'm sure they have many people who use the website but want push notifications to work and to read the news there.. it was bonkers.
I have a slightly different perspective. If I've bought into the team and believe in the mission, only to be let go by the team at some point, I want to know that it was a hard choice.

Maybe it's just ego or maybe it's the desire for meaningful human connection, but the idea of losing my job and it meaning nothing to the person in charge just adds insult to injury.

I like that he briefly addressed how hard the choice was, because it reinforces the message that each of these people matter.

I recently discovered that the best way for me to communicate over Zoom when speaking is to not even look at the screen. I'll stare off into the distance and just focus on my words and thoughts.

Video and audio lag seems to short circuit the communication interrupt window that happens normally in person to person communication, although in large enough gatherings that fails even IRL.

Another thing is that the way Zoom gallery mode works is a bit unnatural in IRL. In normal P2P communication your only looking at one set of eyes balls at a time. All of the sudden you have several sets of eyeballs you can see all it once. This makes it more like public speaking and less like a small tribe meeting.

Well I went to IIT and our education system is more like Soviet Style education, heck we used the same books for competition prep.

I aced every class always stood first in my class till class 10th and after that my performance dropped till I realized that "I am not supposed to care about understanding a concept in its entirety and solve problem based on only things I've learned however limiting it was". It was first unsettling to me because in earlier classes I always went into depth and tried building my understanding of a subject from ground up but in class 11th, there was no time for all that. I did what everyone does, I basically figured out how to solve problems based on pattern recognition, this literally required no understanding or even how things for together but remembering few rules and forumla and their order, and there you go - I cleared IIT just like that, no coaching or help required.

This literally killed all my love for subjects and it became a "game" to solve problems and acquire points. So I stopped bothering with deeper understanding all together and began having life as in hanging out with friends and girlfriend and only coming back to study when I am in mood to game the system again.

I never enjoyed this kind of labor, slow placed exploration made bigger impact on my mind and I've forgotten most of the things I learned in competition mode.

Thing is those students who feel like they can't build concepts in air without solid roots, they are going to suffer in Soviet Style education.

> What really surprised me was the core principle at British unversities - "don't assume prior knowledge of anything".

My experience was that even if all of the students prior to university studied maths A-Levels, we all studied different topics. Before those two year A-Levels, we all studied different topics in GCSEs. There is so much time wasted giving everyone the same knowledge because of how our system is set up with different exam boards.

I don't know if this is the case in other countries.
E-commerce is booming, courier services are hiring, small mom and pop local retail is quickly embracing internet orders. In my country we are introducing parcelmats at scale and preparing for 'foodmats' or 'fridgemats'.

In general replacing cheap labor with automatisation to avoid human contact will be a thing. Retail, restaurants will look more like in Japan.

Local tourism seems like a sure bet as people probably won't trust claims there is no virus in places like Bali or Thailand. No to mention there will be no cheap flights for years to come.

All the WFH will be a huge opportunity for real-estate and construction very soon as people will start leaving dense urban areas.

Some countries in EU will reform farming and bring strategic production back home which will be huge kick to economy. And there will be unlimited funding for that a'la Marshall plan and Eisenhover era.

Your last paragraph makes a valid point. The question then is whether when the schools became “softer”, they replaced the math and sciences curiculums with something else (politics, economy, governance) or whether the kids themselves started doing something more meaningful. If not, it sounds like a wasted opportunity
