If a decent percentage do poorly (15-25%), then it is enough to condemn the practice overall - at least in its current form. There aren't nearly enough controls to eliminate this sort of thing, and I think it is probably more expensive to do so. I also think that - apart from test scores - these kids are less likely to be forced to deal with folks different from themselves and a bit less likely to be introduced to concepts their parents disagree with.

Some of the failures can honestly be dealt with if there were proper coordination and oversight: Use an accredited program (for example). Require regular meetings with other students: Say, perhaps, PE at the school a couple times a week at an elementary level. Require parents to pass the tests for the coursework they are planning on teaching the next year or two. Include more variety on standardized tests: If you want to teach sex education or how to follow a recipe, include these sorts of questions on tests.

Until some sort of system is in place to catch the ones that don't really get taught anything other than propaganda, yes, I condemn the entire thing.

Comment you replied to clearly says:

“Fannie & Freddie are fine with tacking all deferred payments to the end of the loans instead of requiring a lump sump payment.”

Meaning the payments missed would not be due when payments restart, but added to the end of the current monthly payments.
Google is a monorepo as far as I know, and they are doing fine.
From what I gathered FTA it sounds like the author is putting forth the notion that Facebook is relying on old, mostly debunked theories around a "backfire effect" - when fact-checking increases polarization and results in the opposite of the intent of the fact-check.

The author then goes on to discuss how more recent studies (including their own research) and even some of the original authors of that pervious research had changed course and believe that fact-checking can indeed help course correct those misled by misinformation.

Therein lies the rub, according to the author Facebook's policies around the original research hasn't been updated to match more recent findings. This can be troubling given the stakes at hand.

Knowing the pace that Musk dictates I would love to know what else Tesla is working on or what the pipeline is. Perhaps 2-3 years ago legacy car companies could have caught up if they focused their efforts, but I think Tesla is so far ahead now they will be impossible to catch.

The biggest risk is running into cashflow issues but I believe at the last report they had about 2 years worth of capital expenses in the bank, so this is also unlikely to be an issue.
They pivoted it to HPC (the Xeon Phi product line), produced a couple of generations of products, but that didn't really pan out either so they cancelled it.

If the theory is correct, Zoom fatigue exists because videoconferencing is a worse experience than in-person conversations. Media quality, latency, the inability to use most of our motor/sensory apparatus, all contribute to micro-frustrations which accumulate over the course of a meeting.

On the other hand, screen sharing with interactive control when working together on a shared task is actually better than sitting next to someone on their computer. In person, I can only talk and point at their screen. With interactive screen sharing, I can click, type, and even draw live on their screen.

I spend hours a day in interactive screen share sessions (quasi-pair programming but not really) and never feel the effects of Zoom fatigue. But when I have to use a product without the ability to easily draw or interact, or have a meeting where it’s just about faces in boxes, I immediately feel extra “drag”.

I’m curious to hear if anyone else has had the same experience.

If this is correct, there may be a way to sidestep the issues of Zoom fatigue with better tools and processes (e.g. don’t talk about work, instead do the work together).

But the number of targets is a function of _their_ code, not of using a monorepo, no?

If you need to build N libraries and M executables then you are going to have N+M targets (assuming building for one arch only) whether you use a monorepo or not... Either way you are going to issue N+M build commands.

Also, in bazel you can do

bazel build //...

to do a full build of all targets in a workspace. If they are not doing this but instead passing each target name individually then that probably means that they are only building a subset of everything, and even that subset is too much to pass in a single command line invocation. I'll grant you that it seems excessive to have that many targets, but again I don't see having so many targets as an explicit issue of the monorepo.

Working on the 3rd ...
Wisconsin, like many American states, is politically a 3rd world state now. It is so heavily gerrymandered that Republicans are a heavy majority in state senate despite actually receiving fewer votes. It has tried very hard to suppress voting by forcing an in person vote in the peak of pandemic. The Supreme Court in Wisconsin is essentially a Kangaroo court. It reminds me of the political system in the state of Bihar in India where I grew up

If this was only run on Reddit servers then nothing interesting could be done with it. These BRICKS and MOONS are ERC20 tokens which means they can be traded with other users on things like Uniswap, used as collateral for loans on Compound, and integrated into games such as Cryptovoxels. Being a token enables a lot more use cases than simply being another number in their servers.

Another way to look at it is, the top-level stakeholders are responsible for the business and not just themselves or the lives of their employees. An effective leader is thinking about what is best for the business. Not just themselves or any one part of the business.

And maybe, just maybe, what is right for the business is bad for the majority of the staff. At least in the short term. I know that is a bitter pill to swallow, but it is reality.
What you describe should be termed “substandard” with regards to testing standards, not “fake”. As an example, fake would be further labeling the mask with a 3M logo.

For anyone complaining about this: the advertising ID is a very good thing for us tech people

Nobody know how to change it or turn it off. That means a lot of developers and advertisers assume it is actually a good way to track users. So if you go in and reset/disable it, you'll be in such a small minority that you'd become an edge case and they'd lose the historical data on you.

Obviously this isn't true 100% of the time but if it didn't exist then advertisers would use a hardware fingerprint probably, which is a lot harder to spoof
> this was the executive acting in concert with public health officials

That is still the Executive. Those are all executive branch officials. The Executive branch is headed by a singular Executive official (Governor, President), but all of its officials form the Executive branch and power.

That's where the difference of opinion lies.
Sex work is work all the same. From a normative standpoint, we ought to support sex workers directly, rather than the studios and production companies that are often exploitative.

OnlyFans seems to get rid of the middlemen in the porn / cam girl industry, I think that's a massive benefit for sex workers today.

It depends on which state you are in, but if you have a non-recourse loan and bought the house with a small deposit which you can lose, it might be a good strategy just to stop paying the mortgage until you get repossessed. In many states it takes a long time even when things are normal. In 2008 many people got to live in their house for years without paying. You'll screw up your credit and probably lose your equity but might be worth it. Do some research.
They're not doing that to plan things, it's used intentionally for PR. Drive fear into those that watch it and recruit others who are excited. Pretty clear those are different.

The prototypical school shooters (the Columbine duo) filled their notebooks with misogynistic, white supremacist screeds. If you ever thought it strange the hysteria over video game violence and Satanism that emerged from that attack, it's because your instincts were correct. The media was reticent to cover what was really driving their violence because the conversation would have been uncomfortable for the sizable portion of Americans who agreed with their views on women and minorities but felt no need to shoot up a high school.

Unfortunately, the narrative that resulted colored later discourse with less-than-accurate assumptions about the nature of mass school shootings. They're overwhelmingly not carried out by bullied loners, but instead by entitled, ostracized bullies who aren't stopped because they don't fit the American conceptualization of who commits violence. To that point, even high-profile black and brown mass shooters tend not to be gangbangers or whatever, but men with military or law enforcement backgrounds.
I knew one family that homeschooled to different degrees: The oldest was until 8/9th grade, though the younger ones went to public school sooner. They weren't bad off, though obviously conservative and pretty much any friends were also homeschooled or were through church or boy scouts. The oldest really had issues adjusting to the other students.

But I know folks like the ones you met exist as well, and it irritates me to no end that we, as a society, allow this to happen. It is easy to see that such a thing might have lifelong consequences.
Stay positive, it's only a phase and you will come out stronger on the other end...bonus is that you'll know what it's like to truly be alive :)
Agree. The reason GPUs are not widely adopted in certain areas is not because of open sourced or not, but because it is not cost effective. GPUs are optimized for throughput, not latency.
Can’t Prioritize? Tips to Prioritize Your Day
The #2 biggest problem our users have is they don’t know how to prioritize their day. Here are 3 tips to do so.

Hope it helps other Founders.
Battery day for investors will supposedly show off cells that will experience only ~10% degradation over 1 million miles of wear (roughly 83 years of driving the average 12k miles/year an American drives), while also removing as much conflict cobalt as possible from the cell chemistry. Their autobidder software used at the Hornsdale Power Reserve for utility scale storage is in the process of being extended to allow Tesla to act as a virtual utility in the UK. Components of this are used in Sweden to provide Tesla owners with low cost power to charge their vehicles based on market pricing signals from the utility (charge when the cost of electricity is low or negative).

Exciting times.
The format of an email address is:

[whatever the server accepts]@[valid domain name]

No more, no less. Although "server" here also includes anything in-between that may barf on a local part or (sometimes) even a domain name it doesn't like. For example, some forms don't like emails to top level domains.
Given that the schools are all closed, playing with my child has become my side project.

I’m also trying to build something to keep track of enterprise product requirements, since this is the eternal bane of my day job.
I would like to see the ability to use a Tesla as a Powerwall. A backup battery for the house of the grid goes down, and a way to smooth demand so I draw more on the grid when the price is low and less when the price is high. That of course would depend on your electric company, if they charge consumers variable rates.

It would reduce the life of the batteries, but it would also save needing a Powerwall or a generator. It might complement rooftop solar well.

It would be less useful if you use the vehicle to commute and it's parked at work all day.

My parents live in a remote area and suffer frequent power outages. They'd love something like that.
The claim for N95 masks is not that they are effective for 95% of people, it's that they filter out 95% of small particulate matter. The remaining 5% may or may not be enough to infect anyone, or 5% of those wearing, or 100% of those wearing.

The manner in which you would make a legal claim that the product is not as advertised is to take the mask and use the same certification process the manufacturer claims to be using to test efficacy.
My girlfriend (Spanish teacher) and I are in full lockdown atm (Colombia), so we started a blog project: https://triplechili.com. The idea is to find interesting content that's only available in English, and translate it to make it available in Spanish, while at the same time providing some tools for language learners. This came out of my own efforts to find content in both languages to help me learn Spanish. So we display posts in both languages and if you click on a sentence it highlights the same sentence in the other language. Right now it's just the boilerplate next.js + strapi (headless cms) that I found, but we're in the process of coming up with a proper design.
Honestly your post comes off as pretentious. If it sucks so bad then why take charge of so many subreddits?

> I doubt many of you would actually want the responsibilities it requires to do at minimum a decent job of it.

You'd be wrong. I'm sure there's no shortage of people willing to help moderate, so pretending there's a small pool of people available or brushing them off under your own arbitrary definitions of "less qualified" definitely comes off as condescending.

All of these video fatigue articles ignore the eye contact problem. From a paper I wrote on mediating over video:

The most important element of body language is eye contact. “Gaze is vital in the flow of natural communication, monitoring of feedback, regulating turn taking, and punctuating emotion. The lack of eye contact shows timidity, embarrassment, shyness, uncertainty and social awkwardness. (Edelmann and Hampson [1]).” Having a camera on top of a monitor creates the appearance that participants are looking down. If you do look up into the camera, you aren’t looking at the other participant’s faces! Our minds are programmed to interpret looking down as gaze avoidance. Seeing someone look down makes them seem disinterested or even dishonest.

It is a hard problem to solve. I set up a studio in my office where I have a second monitor and external camera back far enough away so it works. I have looked for solutions and they are generally inaccessible. Room sized immersive systems from Cisco, etc solve it, but they are too expensive for the plebs. I have seen some goofy hacks using see through mirrors and video prompters. There are some productized versions of that but they all seemed to fail. The latest apple phones use ARKit to solve it by manipulating your video, but I have only read about it as a beta feature for facetime.

There is probably some money to be made here, but the gating factor is general awareness of this gaping hole...
Agreed. Although the number of targets seems excessive tbh, but to each their own.

Thank you for calling out the downvote issue. I've refrained from asking questions for this exact reason.

People should be encouraged to ask questions, even if from a position of lesser knowledge of the matter at hand. Those that do answer are probably not only helping the person asking the question, but those who may not ask the question even if it is one in their mind.

How many others refrain from enriching the dialogue for the same reasons?
I don't think the message I wanted to send was received as intended.

I am not for allowing students to cheat, I would not have endorsed that for my students either. But I have had lots of professors and teacher colleagues who did a good job dealing with this without simply increasing the punishment until the intended result is reached.

Excessive cheating is not the problem itself but the symptom of an underlying rot in the system. Trying to increase the penalties is only treating the symptom not the cause.
For 6 years I’ve been building Cronitor.io with my best friend and business partner, August.

We started on Django 1.6 and I’ll admit: we liked it so much we stuck with that version for 5 years (ha ha).

Earlier this year we did the mythic trek to Python3 and are enjoying the all the new Django goodies.

August is working full time on Cronitor but for me it’s still technically a “side project” — for now!

Edit: sorry for the dupe! August already posted here.
Risk dying.

Is the quantity of risk identical to all populations?

The answer is no. But people like you never mention this.

I'm curious:

What is, in your opinion, the trigger for reopening? What metric? Is that metric at a city, county, or state level?

I'd like to hear specifics, because I have yet to hear them from the cowardly ass covering politicians who say there is no cost that can be put on a human life. The same people who choose not to put a guardrail on a dangerous rural road because the cost isn't worth the number of lives lost per year on said road.
You're making a lot of lousy assumptions. As a few points of reference:

* My list comprehensions run over gigabytes of data (but sometimes 3 orders of magnitude bigger or smaller). Stream processing of big data. It's not deep learning, but it's slow and potentially deeply parallel. It would move to MIMD trivially, and SIMD with just a little bit of work.

* There are programming languages which support models almost exactly like this for data processing. Sun Labs Fortress comes to mind as an early example. This would generalize to a lot of contexts -- much smaller than you're giving credit for.

* Most of the issues, like startup times, are implementation-specific, rather than fundamental, and could be mitigated for much smaller data too. You do need to wrap your head around changes in programming paradigms to make that work. There is some overhead for latency (you'll probably never do well moving a list with 10 items to a GPU), but most of those aren't where programs are performance-bound.

* Many database operations map very well to MIMD.

* You're making deep assumptions that you're talking to an idiot. That doesn't make you look smart or right, or lead to a constructive discussion.
Is this an argument for lack of consumer demand?

Keeping things shut down isn't going to help these people get back to work.
Reddit doesn't care about community quality, only about ad impressions and engagement. The faster they can become more of a clickbait factory, the better it is for their bottom line.
> Next we all get a government id to pass on to private businesses.

Most of the rest of the world actually has government-issued identifiers and ID cards and they don't devolve into totalitarian dumpster holes. To make it even more absurd, the lack of a proper government-issued ID scheme in the US actually leads to problems only the US has, like people opening up credit lines and siphoning large sums of money with stolen SSN+name+DOB combos.
It would be interesting to find out how many delinquencies will belong to re-mortgages (especially of NIMBY kind of owners)
