And children who don't have parents with resources to "alternative models," deserve poor education? (I'm assuming you mean a stay-at-home parent who chooses to teach home-schooling because all that's necessary for the survival of this theoretical family is only 1 income earner, not 2).

For reference, this is NOT an insignificant percentage of the US population [1].

> Robert Hull, chief executive of the National Association of State Boards of Education, which represents states’ interests, told Reuters most class sizes actually will shrink when schools reopen. That is because of COVID-19 and the need for social distancing. One adaptation will be to have students come to school, on a staggered basis, only on certain days of the week, and possibly receive video instruction other days. He predicted that some of these changes would be permanent.

I have a 2nd and 5th grader, going into 3rd and 6th grade. I can say from first and second-hand experience that the social, emotional, and intellectual damage being caused to young children by closing schools is absolutely frightening. This is to say nothing of the tremendous cost to households who aren’t able to adjust work schedules around their children not being in school. Or even of the children where school is their respite and dependable source of a decent meal.

If there are days where my children are not allowed to go to school in the fall, those are days my kids and I will be spending protesting either in front of the school, or in front of the State House.

If from my ultra privileged position I can see significant emotional and intellectual damage being done to my kids from this policy, I have a hard time imagining the widespread costs and impact that closing schools is having across society.
Absoultely it should not be legal.

Now tell me how something that sounds like a colour scheme conveys the awfulness and ethical bankruptcy of the party who ordered it and the engineers who programmed it.

"Eh someone else would take money for doing something unspeakable if I didn't." Actually there's what you can live with and what you can't. Names kind of matter to convey meaning. Dark pattern is an abysmal failure.
Even if you take it as facetious, it's shitposting. The punchline is insipid and uninspired.

You can keep these indexes together on your live volume somewhere and search them all together

Glimpse indexes text files. Other files require preprocessing. There are solutions for this too but it’s more complicated.
Better sell all my holdings in public schools
There are promising models around learning and plenty of resources but I think the incentive is underdeveloped. This is not mentioning economic and political factors, but from a technical standpoint, the means are there.
No, it's not centrally collected. There is a national eHealth system, MyHealthRecord, but it's opt in for patients, supplementary to your provider's records, and various pieces of privacy legislation at the state and national level make handing out this data, at best, legally fraught.

Speaking from experience. Getting data out of a hospital is phenomenally hard even when the hospital is wants to provide it. Patient confidentiality is a thing they all take very seriously.
Could also do with cutting police funding. A local city in WA spends 53% of their budget on police[0].

Imagine if just a fraction of that went to education?

I’d love to see solid studies on the efficacy/use of police budgeting. At a cursory glance, it’s an easy dataset with which to mislead: is crime going down because budgets are going up? Probably not. But without a solid study, we can’t say for sure.

Still, I think we can agree: 53% is way too high (NYC in 2017 was 8% [1]).

That isn't a Kurasawa movie.
I never seriously considered home schooling as an option. COVID has taught us otherwise. I’m pretty sure we’re all in on it for next year.
Yeah but the US pays for national defense only to fund corporations continuously with unneeded weapon manufacturing so that the respective politicians in those districts can keep winning. There is really no national defense reasons there.
Explains a lot about the state of primary and secondary education in the USA.

How can such a system not lead to massive disparities in quality and access to education, if there isn't a federal backstop to make up for differences in funding available from the state/county. Is there such a thing?

Glad I live in a country where schools get funding based on factors like socio-economic status of surrounding community (the poorer the community, the more funding from central government).
Sorry but most military spending is not going to paying salaries. If your point is that defense budget should be smaller then I agree with that, but the last you want during an economic crisis is cutting back on defense/military. The economy depends on peace and geopolitical stability,not being able to respond properly to a crisis requiring military action can lead to scenarios that exasperate economic recovery. My view is, when the economy does better, additional revenue should not be allocated to defense spending.
I get it, but do you think queuing up at a petrol station is a viable solution to this or is it more likely to be political maneuvering to appease the station owners who are worried their business models will be obsolete soon?
Xeonophobic? By calling out the cause of all the chaos? I don’t understand why people keep defending Chinese government. With feeble reframing like racism.

Don't worry too much about the JS haters. JavaScript, a dynamically typed, flexible language is a great first language to learn programming with.

As for the wording, all you need to add is the word platform:

JavaScript is the only language that lets you build applications for any technology platform, including the web, desktop, mobile apps and terminals.
It looks to me as if it went back to exponential as of May-ish. Because while it slowed in places that did lock down, it got going in the places that were not locked down. Italy and NY are out, Brazil and Texas are in. Am I missing something?

That's an old commit. It's had spatialized audio for the last month, at least.

I'm actually going to put a feature back in to let you select the audio "spatialization" model, because some folks have had trouble with PannerNode not working right. I used to have a selection between volume scaling, StereoPannerNode, and PannerNode. Been a little too busy at the day job to do it lately.

> The so-called ‘barely perceptual difference’ approach. Color, when mapped in this manner, is an extremely un-even blob, not the neat globe people had assumed it to be.

Has this been tried when presenting the colours randomly rather than continuously increasing in distance? I'm curious if the result would be different. Eyes (and visual processing in general) seems to be edited based on our own expectations and other factors.
I'm a teacher myself, and I think this is very much needed. Right now, good neighborhoods just get better schools, while bad neighborhoods get worse. It's a horribly vicious circle, and shows even in areas where there's only one school (my county, the 5th biggest in the state, only has 25k people and one high school) if there's a huge amount of poverty (something like 65% of our students are on free or reduced lunch; over 80% live with either a single parent, grandparent(s), or other guardian), so it doesn't get the funding that, say, the school in the rich neighboorhood of the nearest big city gets, and it shows (it also doesn't help that our guidance councilor is ignorant and actively trying to make everything easier and less rigorous, but that's a different story). A state wide collection and distribution would help a lot; sadly, you're right and a lot of the parents in those better-off neighborhoods won't like it.
Google Staffing Firm
I work for a company thinking of expanding into the U.S. as a staffing firm. How does one reach out to Google etc or do they have a select few firms they use?
Yes, this could be a good opportunity to revisit how education is done.

I have a 6 and 8 year old and we had about 8 weeks of home schooling here in Australia. We took the time to check out a wide variety of online learning resources.

Khan academy is great, but a little dry. Some other things have a little to much flair and not enough substance. I think there is a lot of great work to be done here.

Professionally made resources with tests and assessment built in could make a big impact. Student's can learn at their own pace, and I think most of it could be made just as "fun" as any video game.

The hardest problems will be "social". Determining when a student is lacking motivation, or when they are confused. How does and AI encourage them or clarify things in a way that's not more demotivating.

Actually, I'm sure the hardest problem is political, but putting that aside, building an online platform for years 1-6 would be really interesting. Years 7-12 would actually be a lot easier I think.
One size fits all policy?

Where do you draw the line with local parents fundraising to ensure schools in richer areas are always ahead in terms of opportunities?

Local education can prepare areas differently. Some states/areas like Texas would benefit from Spanish as a language course others like Hawaii might be better served with Japanese. Gym in Alaska must be different compared to Florida.

Nevermind the private schools. You have other school systems like the Amish, Native education or faith based or even home schooled.

Uniform models work better in smaller less diverse countries.
Funding education through employer taxes based on the education requirements they desire was an idea that I heard that might have some merit. You want someone with a bachelors? You pay X amount per year for that employee. A masters? Even more. You expose the employer to the cost of their desire, and thereby suss out if it is a want or a genuine need. Very similar to carbon taxes.

If the tax is more expensive than on the job training, employees will get on the job training, possibly through an apprenticeship.

>Such manipulation of photos is typically invisible to the human eye, the researchers found.

I think its more like attacking a machine learning model - the difference in the photos may not be apparent at all, so a human reviewer might not catch something.

There's pretty wide consensus that Signal is the most secure for now (minus the phone-number requirement, but whatever, not going there). Signal will likely continue to be the most secure platform for the short-to-medium future, and potentially longer. I disagree with Moxie on many things, but he really understands how to write secure code, and I trust him on security in a way that I don't trust many other people.

Matrix is significantly less proven, leaks a bit more metadata (at the moment) and has had a few incidents that make people cautious about trusting it for real activism -- but it's a more future-proof investment if you're not currently an activist, and some of the stuff they're working on (most recently around P2P and mesh networks) may be really valuable in the future.

Matrix is taking an explicit stance that concepts like federation and custom clients are not antithetical to privacy. It's yet to be seen whether they're right about that, but a lot of us want them to be right. We'd prefer to live in the world that they describe.

Apps like WhatsApp and Telegram also exist, and I guess some people like them, but I don't see any reason to bring them to the table since Signal already exists and is already the gold standard for privacy. The only reason Matrix is on the table is because Matrix is fundamentally different from Signal in ways that are worth caring about.

So in short:

- If you really need to make sure nobody reads your messages, use Signal. Hands down, not even a contest.

- If you're invested in the future of apps like this, and you have auxiliary concerns around federation, openness, and bridges that might outweigh your worries about potential vulnerabilities, then consider using Matrix.

Nearly all of these apps are better than doing something like encrypting an email. Email encryption is a minefield of insecure clients and foot-guns.

Well, we're boned.
I never realized signal code was available open source... so in theory one could “build” then load the software via developer tools (assuming you have an iOS dev account).

Do u know what source for the data Axios is using?
In pronciple you should be able to do that by extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and combining it with hydrogen from electrolyzed water. It would just need a crazy ammount of energy to get the carbon dioxide (likely by fractional destilation of air) and hydrogen from water, not to mention making the hydrocarbon chains for gasoline.

Using compressed methane could be better (I have seen buses here in Czexh Republic using compressed natural gas, which is basically just methane, very often) or even skipping the carbon and using hydrogen, if you can store it safely and efficiently.

But indeed, if you can store the power directly instead of usinfpg it inefficiently to make fuel, thats the best.
As a native English speaker, I personally never really thought about those implications you just described. I would use that phrase for any situation with multiple options, not just an unusual one. Maybe I’m using it wrong?
I have seen your comments in this thread and trust you to reword it in a less convoluted way if you choose. I agree that my syntactic construction was rather tortured.

My main point is protest is what protest does: force the issue. The methods of protest are varied and of disproportionate impact to society. If protest is to succeed, social impact must be calibrated to the received response to protester demands. If no response or negative response is received, increase social impact to belligerent parties and the general public, if necessary. Protest without corresponding social impact is ineffectual at forcing the issue but can be effective in virtue-signaling, which can create a virtuous loop of increasing awareness and support, and increasing numbers of protesters.
Except common core was completely voluntary and the states didn't have to join it.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I’m from the south and was taught as a child that the confederates fought for “states rights” and slavery was a subplot. Many years later I realized that was bullshit. I wished I could go back in time and call my teacher on it.
It's from the naughty strings list. It's meant to be a "meat exploit" instead of an exploit for the computer.
Austin, despite the government and technology economy narrative, has been in a service economy bubble for some time as local businesses capture dollars arriving from elsewhere in the form of brunch costs.
Same here. They don't let us know what is happening with our application. Nobody from Datadog even reply on LinkedIn. Not sure, how we can reach out to them. :)
Can you give a working example?

This way you can watch a UNIX user "struggle/fail" as they "attempt" to debug a script using set -x, set -e, $?, LINENO, utilties like ktrace, strace, recordio, etc. and your argument will be taken seriously.

The Elephant In The Brain has a chapter on education which clearly draws a lot from Bryan's book The Case Against Education. Interestingly Bryan Caplan was one of book's pre-publishing reviewers.
Protecting our nation from harm is easy to do. Nearly every nation in the world does it pretty well, and they do it with tiny fractions of our budget. The key is to not run around the world occupying nations and starting new wars every other day.

War is and always will be asymmetric. Our military isn't expensive because we need it to be, it is expensive because it is an invasion and occupying force.
Yep. I teach in a rural school in the South. We still have Social Studies teachers claiming the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. It's really damn frustrating.

Though textbooks? We haven't had textbook updates in years at this point. Since I was in the school, and I graduated 10 years ago.
> Is there such a thing?

No. Plenty of poorer states would oppose it if there were anyway.
How much would be appropriate? What weapons systems should be canceled? Serious question. I would agree that $800B seems ridiculously high, and yet it's not easy to tease apart what should be cut.

If you are targeting people learning programming, it really does not matter. TypeScript really makes sense to those who were already comfortable with a strongly typed language (eg Java, C#) before learning JS.
> did not push it forward substantially

At 7:00 in the video the protesters pushed the fence a couple of meters forward and almost broke the police line, that is not peaceful protesting. Pushing up a blockade against police is very aggressive, and can't be done by a single bad apple either. If protesters had been acting like this for hours then it makes sense that the police sprays them.

I suppose "own" might cover more of the use cases.

But consider:

- "adesso" (now) vs. "proprio adesso" (literally right now)

- "Proprio così" (precisely)

I believe you can also use it like:

- "Where are you from?"

- "DC"

- "DC proprio?" (DC proper?)

- "No, technically I'm from a small town in Northern Virginia"
What's an example of an unneeded weapons system?
The other replies have valuable points, I can only offer my own. I design low latency fiber routes (not wireless like sniper) and find HFT's are willing to spend a large amount of money for infrastructure (AKA will let me trench 100 miles of fiber if it pencils out). This then translates to better connectivity for regular internet users and lower costs for average internet users, as the primary infra providers are recouping their profits on the high margin customers.

I was curious if the surrounding colours influenced things so I cut out just the two pairs and presented them on a white screen. The first progression definitely looks like a bigger change to me like they said.

Putting it on a black background seemed to reduce the effect, but the same pairing still won.

The problem is not in information quality. I agree that is a solved problem. But that was never the big challenge in education (besides the politics of it).

The problem is in getting students to complete the work, be honestly assessed about the work, get feedback on their work as well as for employers to believe that the assessment means anything.

What programming language do you consider worthy of the 'coding' title?
That’s an idea that’s popular with no one. People want local control. And if you want local control, you have to pay for it. Utah spends $7k per student and New York spends $22K and that’s the way they want it.

That might still be doable for a delivrry van or a bus, even if it is heavier. Natural gas powered already have quite a big "hump" on top for the pressure botzles with gas, I could imagine putting the supercaps there and the regular batteries inside the chasis to keep the center of gravity low.
I'd kind of like to see what it does with assorted cartoon character pictures. What does it do with, say, Charlie Brown or Calvin?
There are well-intentioned and capable people who have done their due diligence and ended up on different sides of this topic. What's interesting about this particular "social media" discussion are the real world consequences and incompatibility of some positions.

If the list of possible scenarios includes death, and people have invested the time to reach informed conclusions in consultation with their doctors, perhaps their choices can be respected.
I wouldn't be surprised if I have made about as many convenience stops as I have made fuel stops (with fuel+convenience counting only as fuel).

And that's with me making few convenience stops. There's lots of people that get a coffee every day, they aren't buying gas each time.
Most decent range electric cars (Teslas, Chevrolet Bolt, the new Leaf) have around 60kWh batteries.

Residential "level 2" chargers can push around 6kW, and often requires professional installation, and if you have an older home, requires the upgrading the service wiring to to the house. That would take roughly 10 hours to charge, giving around 25 miles of range per hour of charge. Great if you can recharge when you get home from work.

Gas stations could have higher-grade power connections- "level 3" chargers typically pump out 50kW, and can charge a 60kW battery from flat to full in a little over hour. Typically you're not charging from flat, so you can "top off" in less time, getting something like 3-4 miles of range per minute of charging.
Any specific issues you've encountered?

But a lot of money is wasted in education, as well. There are incompetent teachers with too much seniority to fire, for example, who are at the top of the pay scale, and with nice pensions waiting for them when they do retire. Many competent ones as well, but it's a big enough problem that basically every teacher I've ever met can tell you stories.
New buildings usually have underground parking, but I don’t think this policy has anything to do with the residents of the big cities. Car-sharing is more viable option there and it’s easy to provide chargers for car-sharing services on the streets.
