A means tested NIT and a UBI can be designed to be equivalent: https://taxfoundation.org/universal-basic-income-ubi-means-t...

A guaranteed minimum income would need to phase out by income, so as to not discourage people from working if they want to.

How would the new test be better than SAT?
Gilbert Strang's linear algebra OCW. It is clear, concise, and practical.

As Euclid said, "there is no royal road to geometry."
If you end up giving React, Material UI and JSS a chance, there are some things you can do to make it more palatable.

1. Put all of your calls to makeStyles in a separate file called MyComponent.styles.js right next to your component and export the resulting useStyles function(s).

2. Learn the power of the themes system. Make a themes/defaultTheme.js file where you export the result of createMuiTheme(and modify all MUI components here as well as add your own variables and functions that can be used in any of your .styles.js files).

3. Wrap your app component with a ThemeProvider passing your theme={defaultTheme}. These can also be nested so you can have different themes for different area of your component tree.

4. In your style.js files, use theme variables or functions as part of your styles. Also try creating functional CSS selectors, which are functions that can use whatever props that you've passed into your classes = useStyles(props); call and return a dynamic style based on those props.

It's actually quite powerful. The closest you can get to this level of encapsulation, flexibility and dynamic theming with non-JS CSS is CSS Modules and CSS Variables, which you can read about here - https://itnext.io/css-variables-dynamic-app-themes-86c0db61c...

However, Material UI is not going to help you very much with that type of styling. That kit works best with JSS. They do provide some integration points with normal CSS, CSS Modules or any other type of styling but the easy path with MUI is to just embrace JSS. After working with it for a while, I prefer it.

I don't understand the complaint that you had to spend a half hour looking into how to do something with a framework that is new to you. That's the job. If they just gave you the basic React styling capability, Material UI wouldn't be as popular as it is. Providing multiple integration points for multiple dynamic styling/theming systems for an entire framework of related UI elements is not easy and their documentation on what they've done here is quite straightforward. Give it a chance, experiment, learn some basic principles and you'll see how powerful it is compared to doing straight CSS or SCSS.
Corona Solutionism Misses the Point
This is a great point and is also true of Facebook and a number of other platforms. Roger McNamee spoke at length about this issue with Sam Harris on his podcast back when it was called Making Sense. His point was essentially that the AI that controls the recommendations is trained to maximize clickthrough rates, and so it learns in its own way to feed us articles that make us angry, because we click and share more that way. Hence the tendency to lead people down rabbit holes of extremism.
That's awesome! I'm glad it was useful!
To be fair, that's an assertion with zero evidence or even reasoning, from someone who, having "fought against standardized testing for 30 years", is not exactly an unbiased source.
Personally, I would like to a see a government sponsored test where the study materials are provided for free. I feel like that would help decrease the amount of people who couldn't afford the prep courses or tutors. Not ideal, but better than the current system where wealthy parents pay for the best tutors and materials.
Interestingly the law firm our company uses has converted to permanent remote only just now. So it's not just tech companies.

I think, once the boss gets a taste of working from home, they too want to enjoy their fancy homes and spending times with their kids instead of sitting in traffic all day. And Covid now provides them a generally acceptable way to push that change through.
Similarly NetMarketShare shows Android at over 70%, since they are more business website heavy. This stat is just as flawed as StatCounter's is.

> That sound you hear is panicked elites, rushing to the "side door" of the UC system in an attempt to figure out how best to influence their kid's probability of admission

It is far easier to influence extracurriculars and grades with money.

I went to an expensive private school. Nobody there (nor their parents) would have opposed eliminating the SAT and replacing it with essays and activities.
You can't buy a sandwich with a piece of paper that says your taxes are going to be lower next year (especially when you don't have much income to be taxed).
I think that some people in SF aren't probably worth SF salary. They are viable due to people used to working in co-located env and to having some superior peers. Also laws require equal pays for similar position in many countries.

Opening remote might make market more competitive. Speaking for myself, living outside US: I am able only to command 1/3 of SF salary(top in my market) although I could easily replace many people working in FB, earning much more than I do. Only if they were hiring in my city. (Pretty sure as had offers from Amazon, Gooogle etc. but they would require moving or local projects weren't interesting).
Or shotgun it out to the web over a compromised ad network, as has been done with other attacks
If one leaves out the 'what is fair' part, then it is ok (and probably best for society) that a student gets favored who can learn/absorb the material (no matter how).
Whatever test the UC system comes up with will be taken by a huge fraction of college applicants, especially the good ones.
Usually the problem is, that you don't want to ban the user, but the behavior. And - reddit being mostly a textual thing - it is represented by words. Banning the user is unfair, plus they can just create a new account anyway.

So you try to be alert for people who use certain phrases. Racism, xenophobia, conspiracy theories, paranoia, extreme pettiness, severely abrasive attitude, choosing beggars, and so on.

And flame wars, and people jumping on others. And of course if there is a group of people showing such unwanted behavior it takes no time for the powder keg to go off.

I think having sort of simple but a big ambiguous rules are okay if there are very broad but exact rules too. (Eg. Rule1: don't be a dick, Rule2: no harrassment, no xenophobia, no posting of personal information, etc.)

Moderators and the community should be proactive. (I find that the best tool is reports, because that signals what people find problematic. Sometimes they are just annoyed that some newcomer posted that again. That's okay, but most of the time users report spammers, crazy serious racists with too much time, and the occasional lost redditors' posts.)
"Internal Facebook surveys show the option of working from home is popular with employees, Mr. Zuckerberg said, but only 20% said they were extremely or very interested in working remotely long-term. More than half of employees said they 'really want to get back to the office as soon as possible,' he said."

That coupled with Facebook not reducing its office footprint and this transition supposedly taking a decade makes me wonder if people are making this a bigger deal than it actually is.
What's the downside to making it harder, though? Scores are all considered relative. If the average student makes a 600 points out of whatever instead of 800 points out of whatever, it doesn't actually change anything for them.
I didn't have a tutor, I got relatively bad grades in school (was boared?) - SAT was a game changer for me - got me into a good school -> learned some stuff -> making great money.

The question is not, is the SAT bad, it is, what about the new system will be better and fairer.

The other factor - this is likely a way to reduce asian american attendance at the top UC schools. The Harvard case really revealed how legacy admits etc came in with MUCH lower scores. Same thing with the scandal around sports admits, a way to get in with MUCH lower SAT scores. I'm not against either, but getting away from SAT will help hide this fact (ie, big donor gets kid in even if they are 200 points lower than average).
Higher education is an absolutely shameful industry. They work hand in glove with public and private financiers and textbook cartels to sell 18 year olds on a highly speculative “investment” that very frequently turns out to be worthless from an economic standpoint. This is jus another way to further push open the floodgates.
> what's the point of discussing

Consensus; same as always.

And cross-pollination of ideas.
Perhaps not for call centers, but for recently laid off engineers you could do mock interviews on sites like PracticeCodingInterview.com, Gainlo.co, and interview.io.
They have the patents to do even better than that and create hierarchies of miniature programmable fabric, similar to the concept of L1-L4 caches except for FPGA designs [0]. Unfortunately, they don't have the organizational willpower to do true innovation though. From what I have heard, significant portions of the designs for their processor lines are not understood by any current or recent employees. There is a tremendous amount of legacy "code" and fear of changing things that may break backwards compatibility. There is no vision at the top, their process lead is gone, and the architecture team is patching decades of bad security without simplifying designs.

It seems like they are just riding out their market share for as long as they can, which could be a while. Intel has a really strong brand.

And go to the food banks?
A large number of comments here looks like every employee at Facebook is exceptionally skilled and critically important.
I read somewhere only square root of total employee strength are doing critical work in the company.

Now I do not have any proof of this but I am working at company which would have may be 5K work force in IT organization. Here I am regularly surprised that hardly 10-15 names out of 100s pop up every time on any important issue for projects which I have some relation with.

Doing same analysis with facebook would mean there would be 250 or so employees who can seriously negotiate salaries with them for being critical to company. Of course some people would get lucky or unlucky despite being less or more important. But I think this is delusional to think that most of ~50K strong workforce in FB will be able to get their compensation demands like bay area salary in middle america accepted by company.
All I am pointing out is the hypocrisy and false statements CF and others make. CF's actions are much different from their words. They say they need to allow dangerous terrorists because of free speech but then ban other speech which they don't like.

> you might contact your local elected officials and request regulation

Voicing my opinion on a public forum is one way to do that.
Or STEM schools (presumably not all) where ‘mastery’ is the tracked objective, achieved when you scored 80% or higher on tests. However, when mastery is translated to standard scoring models/transcripts it’s recorded as 100%.
Yeah, I agree with this 100% - these students are going to be compared to each other somehow, and it's always going to be imperfect and favor those who are better off. Still, these tests are at least relatively objective, and if you remove them the kids will be compared with less objective measures that allow for more bias to be introduced.

The SAT/ACT are the worst form of college admission criteria very much in the same way that democracy is the worst form of government... except for all the others. A lot of people criticize them, but those critics haven't come up with anything better.
What is wrong with relying on the existing legal foundation? Arrest them for arson, if and when they decide to ravage a cell tower.

Should we halt the sale of knives because they can be misused to murder?
Here we go again. People are not always in a position to leave a job. People are living paycheck to paycheck and not able to get other jobs. You're being disingenuous.
True.. I’d probably rather do $120/yr for 3,000 people for life (as opposed to just five years). Assuming $120 is equivalent to $12,000 in the US, and for life is going to be more interesting than even five years. And at 7% interest you could afford this forever off the $5M endowment.
Creating new jobs is the answer. The question is whether you think rich CEOs and capital owners or a wide, empowered middle class are the best to come up with those jobs.

Tech should know better. The best thing Apple et al. ever did for their platforms was to open them to the ingenuity of the masses, and keep the barriers to entry low enough that they didn't discourage new ideas from blossoming. The market economy isn't an end unto itself; it's a platform on which goods are developed and needs can be identified and met.
We're not seeing that for various reasons, often insurmountable ones.

The Boston area has draconian employee IP ownership agreements, so that gives California a huge advantage.

Some European countries require pre-payment of pensions, preventing start-ups from even forming.

PG's essay was published 14 years ago, yet no city council seems to have adopted it as a checklist.
It's all because Zuckerberg needs more money to pay for NO TRESPASSING SIGNS all along the public Hawaiian beachfront that he does not own, yet is attempting to control and micromanage.
I don't concede that there is a significant difference between the scrolls versus other nouns referring to parts of the causal chain.

However, if you want to make the distinction, there are innumerable examples of similar usage, where written material is said to reveal something.

"these pages revealed the power of words to us as though for the first time"

"The book revealed to me a whole frightening world"

"The alchemists really believed that the Emerald Tablet revealed truths too powerful for most people to handle"

"Aside from the joke, the letter revealed his youthful trait of uttering labored, high-sounding but unsubstantial phrases"

But why exactly are you fixated on the idea that written things can't act, while apparently pretty much any other abstract or inanimate object can?
The problem is that whatever fills the void left by SAT and ACT will likely be _easier_ to game. Standardized tests are not perfect but they're a better signal than extracurricular checkboxes or professionally-edited essays.
Anyone know of any other devices using the eZ80 that can be purchased now and are available (i.e. not retired)?
There are a lot more cases which are the exact opposite. People who have done well in school, extra curriculars and more, but are held back by a meaningless test.
Whatever the system is, parents with resources and the awareness to care about gaming the system will game it.
Haha.. I think you have this backwards! If you think money can buy a good SAT score - go make some. Reality? Much easier to pay for a trip to "volunteer" in africa or at the local hospital, get on sports teams etc etc. If you have $$ being head of club X is a cakewalk! I had life changing SAT scores, and while prep helps, that slacker kid isn't getting 1600
Air source heat pumps can operate all the way down to 0F. I’ve paired one with a hydronic system, with a firewood heated boiler for backup heat, in rural Pennsylvania.

The less reliable power is and the colder it gets during winter months, the more tricky the problem gets.

Despite all the water cooler conversations about "immunity passports," their usefulness is hard to envision for several reasons. It's a lot easier to imagine institutions requiring employees to provide proof of immunization instead.
What happened was that web apps and SPAs got powerful enough and ubiquitous enough to deserve their own tooling and abstractions. React is about creating a program that generates a UI. Lots of people use it to build static websites because they want access to the tooling that the ecosystem has created, much of which is very good.

The kind of front end development I do at work would be much harder without React, not only because the app is large, but there is a large team working on it. Using a framework and adhering to it's best practices makes onboarding easier, and coding (and reviewing code) faster.
Abolish entrance exams entirely. Replace them with the exams at the end of first semester coupled with some rudimentary requirement that e.g. if you want to do math your high school math grade is OK. Make the first semester de-facto "remedial education" oriented and vastly reduce fees. Basically start with a giant, relatively inexpensive MOOC (possibly joint with other schools to reduce overhead) and then filter that down to people who are going to be able to pull their weight.
> Unless you have some hard data, your argument doesn't seem very convincing.

Seeing as plenty of people are earning more with the federal unemployment compensation than they would if they were working full time, I'm not sure what exactly is "unconvincing" about it.
FIELDATA didn't support the cent sign either, which my grandmother is much more familiar with, so I think it would not be hard for her to grasp this concept.
From the article:

Netflix said these inactive accounts — more popularly known as zombie accounts in the industry — only represent a few hundred thousand users, or less than half of 1% of its overall member base — a fact that the company already factors into its financial guidance.
A someone who started my career in the office and transitioned to full time remote over time I hear you.

Don't let these extraordinary circumstances color you vision of things though.

Once people feel like it's safe enough we'll likely go back to hybrid office / WFH as people manage building capacity to allow for distancing.

That will be a lot better
I wonder if any of those surveyed included banking crimes in their list that affected them.
You can study for the AMC–I used to (disclaimer: I knew a lot people who did so as well). However, doing well on the AMC usually means you need to actually understand what you're doing; it's fairly difficult to cheese your way through.
If the totalitarian government could survive a large scale joblessness or recession, comparable to the one US might be experiencing now.

Democratic regime may survive bad economic times by transitioning of power if needed, but less so for a totalitarian government.

Especially CCP got a lot of its legitimacy from the perceived fast economic growth, it will be problematic if their growth engine halts.
It's a function of the natural evolution of things.

The same origin policy was originally introduced with AJAX at a time when the vast majority of traffic was to the same origin. It wasn't a common pattern to make complex requests to a different domain (barring GETs and FORM posts which were allowed).

Web development changed and it started to become more popular to make complex cross-domain requests, but the problem is they couldn't just throw out the SOP without introducing a massive security vulnerability to all existing sites. So instead CORS was introduced as an option to relax the SOP.

With websockets being completely different, it was an opportunity to "start over". They opted to embrace cross-domain communication and require developers implement security on top of it.

The `postMessage` API has done the same thing. Any window can `postMessage` to any other window -- it's fully up to the windows to validate the security of messages coming their way.

Some argue that it's a bad idea to make "allow by default" the new paradigm. Personally, it seems pretty clear to me that developers just don't understand CORS at all [0], and letting the developers handle this in their own logic, while being exceptionally clear about this in the documentation, is a far more developer friendly and simple (therefore more secure) approach.

One thing I’d like to see is freezing grade inflation. A more normal distribution curve for grades rather than an abnormal amount being rated A/A+.
>Taking it from other people's earnings and spending it through a committee of politicians sounds pretty dystopian to me though.

Assuming you're American: you do know that the House and Senate have Appropriations Committees who do literally just that, right? If you're not American, I bet you a dollar your government has a similar grouping of politicians.
For the best schools, like Berkeley, I don't think this should matter much. At that level, SAT/ACT scores are pretty much just a threshold used to whittle down the number of candidates. Once you're over say 1500 on the SAT there's diminishing returns on trying to close the gap to 1600.
Nearly all the cool stuff in GCC and LLVM is paid for by companies (paying the salaries of developers). The software could definitely be done in this way (Symbiflow is very very nice), but keep in mind that developing an FPGA will require a lot of hardware and bums in seats.

The question is similar in scale to building an open source Intel core i7 - it's not impossible but keep in mind that an FPGA big enough (for example) to prototype any subsections of the CPU let alone the whole thing would cost hundreds of thousands.
Instead of arguing about the semantics of "monopoly," it could be fun to ask "does YouTube have power that we as a self-governing people should regulate?"

I think it does. Others disagree. Sometimes it's an interesting discussion.
GDPR doesn't affect the legal definition in the US or other non party jurisdictions. It has a pratical effect because few businesses or hosting platforms can avoid doing business in the EU, but the copyright regime in the US remains the same.
