Why do you think that the individual school districts have so much of a problem providing and equivalent educations when compared to other individual school districts that have much better outcomes with less funds, even controlling for cost of living?

I wonder if it has to do with the level of services expected and provided between locations, states, and counties.

For example, I know that special needs students, which can be notoriously expensive to educate.

Wouldn’t the windows be broken _behind_ the plane? In my mental model, you’re flying below radar so anyone on the ground will know you’re there anyway. If you’re sub-sonic people hear/see the plane and you hope they don’t have time to do anything before you strike. If you’re supersonic they hear/see the plane, their windows break, and you hope they don’t have time to do anything before you strike.

The failure of startup ideas is probably one of the toughest to quantify: Failed ideas probably didn't result into a registered business. Articles on the internet all seem to refer to a paper from 2011 (http://gallery.mailchimp.com/8c534f3b5ad611c0ff8aeccd5/files...) that claims that 72% of intellectual property is not a competitive advantage.

This article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilpatel/2015/01/16/90-of-star...) claims that 42% of startups fail because there's no market demand. Which doesn't include startups that found market demand, but didn't offer what the market needed (e.g. market values the offer but doesn't (or too little) want to pay for it). For failed startups in general, this article mentions a failure rate of 90%, but the reasons are diverse.

As I'm focusing on the validation (and some ideation) phase, the first metric made the most sense. Thanks for being critical!
That's right. For my use-case I decided to just stick with JS for UI stuff (using Svelte). I call into Rust code like a black box to update some state.
Like wearing white shirts is illegal, effective 2001? So anyone you can prove wore a white shirt 2001-2020 is going to jail? That would be pretty stupid.
It is the US that created the illegal activity, but putting this activity into illegality in the first place. The war on drugs only made the criminal problem in Latin America worse by creating the incentives to become a criminal. Moreover, the US has already been caught dealing directly on drugs (Iran contras), and I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the last time.
That's not the issue. It's the third supersonic airliner, not the second; the Soviet Union had the Tu-144.

You can remove Siri from the touchbar, which I've done on my own Macbook. But I otherwise still trip over the touchbar enough that I always have to have it in the back of my mind, just a bit.

I've been using the touchbar for over a year now, and I still find that I get nothing out of it that physical keys couldn't have done better. I like that I can figure out which keys are for volume or brightness without having to look down. I need that at night when I'm playing something on my laptop but I want to gradually lower the volume and brightness without my contacts in or my eyes shut. If my personal Macbook had a touchbar, I could never do that reliably.

It sort of baffles me why they went with a touch bar and not with keys that have OLED in them that are easily tweakable. Or how about add some bumps to it so that my finger can know where it is without me looking?

No. It's got to be a flat bar.

Sometimes people will surprise you. Why, I once knew a republican who didn’t worship hitler and eat babies.
I appreciate the response, I've got a few remaining questions that perhaps you can shed some light on:

- Is that only for the average or also for the median?

- Is the data published anywhere (would love to see distribution curve)?

- Are the calculations assuming someone is saving every week? Or has it also been tested monthly / bi-monthly?

- When someone gets a "windfall", do they keep it in their account or do they withdraw it? (i.e. no longer savings but spent in some sort of celebration)

- Is this using an actual random number generator in which case there will be long-tails of people winning much more as well as losing much more? Or is there some sort of engine that ensures everyone gets something?
Well, it depends on your definition of effective discrimination; you could also argue that what matters most is how many employees of PPP-recipient companies were AA. Going another step, one might argue that what matters is the employment impact of PPP on different races.

I am not sure which of these metrics is most important, but I think comparing PPP recipient ownership to the general population is rather blunt, especially if it is the only metric offered.

The court is actually meant to be more trusted than congress. They don't pass laws, they just interpret them. That's why there's only 9 members and why supreme court appointments are taken so seriously.

There was a contentious period during the great depression where FDR threatened to pack the court. A serious infringement on what is supposed to be an impartial court.
Yes, and you provided an example of such associations with "youth", "stupidity", "anger", "fear", "transphobia", "homophobia", "atrocity", "anger at others", "anger with self", "dislike of others", "opposition to others", etc.

> When I was young and stupid, I used to believe that transgender was really, really dumb. That they were looking for attention or making it up or something along those lines.

> And then I grew older and wiser and learned – hey, transgender isn’t stupid at all, they have very important reasons for what they do and go through and I was atrociously wrong. And I said a mea culpa.

> The point is not "accepting people different than me", it's "having suitable principles to still fight in favour of people I might otherwise rightly or wrongly dislike".

Really? What issues of principle would have the Democratic Republicans or the Federalists not been willing to abandon for the sake of the pork barrel, at least after Andrew Jackson? I will grant that the Republicans and Democrats initially had substantial ideological differences they weren't willing to compromise on but that immediately resulted in a civil war and then we were back to the normal state of affairs.
Would you be saying that if you lived there? The millions of emigres seem to prove otherwise.
Tribal governments only have criminal jurisdiction over crimes committed by Native Americans (an enrolled member of the tribe, or an enrolled member of some other federally recognised tribe). If the perpetrator is not Native American, the tribal government and courts cannot deal with the case, only local/state/federal courts and authorities can. (There is an exception to this rule, created by Congress, that domestic violence crimes committed by a non-native against their Native American spouse or partner can be dealt with through the tribal legal system.)

Civil legal jurisdiction over non-native individuals is somewhat broader, but still subject to various complex legal limits.

Nice work! It would be great if you could include a feature to crop an image, similar to how you can in MS Paint. Crop is the feature I probably use most often in MS Paint.
Your question is answered quite directly in the post:

Also, it is not built on GitHub, it is built on an internal code review system (and it is not even built on git, it is backed by hg instead) so it likely wouldn't be useful to anyone to open-source it.
>> usually joining half dozen of tables, each with a few data, but their mappings and underlying relationship are usually not explicitly-defined, making joins across multiple tables super slow

Rather than "joins don't scale" it's more like "bad data design don't scale"

Every few years I get the urge to create a RDBMS API that only allows data design using functional dependencies and defined types and possibly rules, i.e. only lets devs do "logical design". Usually happens when I discover some project dependent on EAVIL or giant master table syndrome.

I've got a legion of cynical jokes about "emergent data design" and "Plato's Cave Shadows ERD", HHOS.

Why did you feel the need to say “western sense of morality” rather than just “sense of morality”?

The article describes national outrage at this story of injustice, your implication is that a larger “eastern” sense of morality has allowed this to happen, rather than the corrupt individuals named.
I'm a bit confused. MuZero doesn't do a "formal search" (as per your previous comment) but it does a tree search (as per your current comment). It doesn't perform MCTS, even though the paper itself states it performs MCTS.

I quote from the arxiv paper again:

Appendix B Search

We now describe the search algorithm used by MuZero. Our approach is based upon Monte-Carlo tree search with upper confidence bounds, an approach to planning that converges asymptotically to the optimal policy in single agent domains and to the minimax value function in zero sum games [22].

So I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you mean here.

Also, as discussed in other comments, it's dangerous to assume anyhing about how "a human does" anything to do with any kind of mental calculation. Whatever MuZero does and however good or bad it does it, there is nothing to tell us that it does it as a human does.
The question is rather: can they use preestablished structures and machinery or do they need to build it from the ground up. Surveilance also needs work, and its less work if everything is prepared.
I used to be able to refactor my code by pressing shift-f6, but now that I have a touch bar it feels more natural to just use my mouse to click on a menu and scroll to the option I'm looking for (if I can even find it). It's so much slower.

The only progress happening here is my steady progression into madness. Why don't you just take away our keyboards entirely and give us circles and squares to push, Apple? And then we can giggle as drool runs down our faces onto our shirts. Are you happy now?!

That being said, I like what you've made here. I refuse to purposely touch my touch bar so I won't actually use it, but it looks fun.

Edit: Toned it down a touch. The touch bar is a sensitive issue for me...
Please do not update Wikipedia in the manner you have described. The update you describe would change the Wikipedia pages in question to be ideological in nature, but Wikipedia's preferred ideology is to attempt neutrality. Such an edit would be seen mostly by Wikipedia editors, who may be somewhat sympathetic, but would nevertheless revert your changes.

Wikipedia is not an effective venue to litigate whether technology companies are good or bad. Thank you for not wasting Wikipedia editors' time.

A potential improvement might to split the scope of duties across more independent government entities. It's actually similar to how corporate management tends to plan management roles: things like end-to-end ownership of clear (and relatively limited) responsibilities. These days, the federal government's scope is massively larger than when the constitution was created.

One approach to splitting things might look something like this:

government A: education, taxes, social services, abortion, immigration, ...

government B: electoral issues, telecom/internet, mail, privacy, utilities, workplace regulations, ... basically, mundane areas that are more about boring competence and finding smart solutions. Or at the very least, serving the public will more directly.

This way, the boring yet important stuff can be done by B without being drowned out by the divisive stuff in A, where people become polarized into thinking they just need to vote against particular issues and there's no real accountability for the rest of it.

You might think that state-level government provides more accountability by being smaller, and this is true in some way, but for the most part I see the exact same thing happening where state government elections are mostly not providing much accountability in a lot of government domains because they aren't contentious enough to be the deciding factors in elections. But they are still important nevertheless.

Before responding, first let me say thank you for all the work you have done and continue to do. Also as I wrote above, I view Julia as superior to Python in every other way. :-)

By "ecosystem" I mean much more. PyPi currently offers around a quarter million Python packages, versus thousands for Julia. Github code and activity using Python is also currently around three orders of magnitude greater than for Julia. Python is currently the fourth most popular language on Stack Overflow (after JS, HTML, and SQL). It's a gigantic ecosystem that has evolved over three decades.

I highly recommend the book 7 Powers by Hamilton Helmer. Helmer defines "Power" as the ability to retain meaningful profit margins for a meaningful period of time. Each of the 7 Powers is a method he has seem companies use to retain this (network affects, switching costs, etc.). Very insightful read.
Was looking through the comments hoping I would find some discussion about how this would affect things like property rights and title insurance for affected land, but I didn't see anything. I realize what was at issue in this case was jurisdictional priority, but still, if the court is arguing half of Oklahoma is "tribal land", what does it mean for people who theoretically own parts of that land?
Sugar Mummy Wants You – Accept Her Now – Sugar Mummy Free
No, it doesn’t mean Congress has that power. That question hasn’t been decided. That question would be raised if congress attempts to change the law. Until then, a Congress is bound by the Court’s interpretation of what the law is/was/means. In short, Congress lack the authority to tell the courts what a prior law meant. If they’re not happy with the interpretation then. Ingress has to change the words of the statute / treaty.

How many times and places do price controls need to be tried before these idiot government functionaries realize that for any such policy there are winners and losers.

I don't know if you know this already (I didn't), but you can go to Settings > Keyboard, and in the first tab (Keyboard) you'll find two selects.

On the bottom one, labeled "Press fn key to show", you can select "Show F1, F2, etc", so your function keys will always show up when you hold Fn.

Also, on the top select, I suggest you change the default setting to "Expanded Control Strip", since I find "App Controls" totally uber useless.

Sorry if my labels don't match yours exactly, I'm on pt-br and did some literal translation here.

A paper being published in a journal is meant to indicate some degree of review and passing a level of oversight. Yes, there are plenty of journals that fail to do this. And every once in a while people share stories revealing just how poor the review process is in those journals. Like one person who had a paper published that solely consisted of the sentence, "take me off your fucking mailing list" [1].

At this point you're agreeing with the point these hoaxers set out to prove: these journals are poor at reviewing content and the content published in them should not be treated as having any level of authenticity or credibility.

> The cite record in every field is littered with retractions, revisions, replication failures, and even outright fabrications.

Again, at this point you're not even disagreeing with the claim the hoax paper authors are making. You're just saying that the same observations can be made in other fields.

This actually illustrates an interesting point about think tanks.

Amren may have never done a lynching, but the shadowy nature of how think tanks can launder money may implicate an associated group in modern-day lynchings covered up by the police[0].

The Koches, one of the largest financiers of right wing groups was built oil refineries for both Stalin and Hitler(the reich’s second largest refinery). They scrubbed the latter from their corporate history and were never tried at Nuremberg.

As it stands today, an average high school girl attending a BLM protest from twitter is likely surveilled far more heavily than Taylor or Anglin from the revelations in new surveillance articles. And that’s terrifying.
