Personally, my mother was good at writing, so she taught that subject until I was 12. After that, there was a local writing teacher who taught an equivalent of comp 1, and comp 2.

My father taught math and programming. We did a mix of typical tutoring, and self study. Lots of self study since I had a natural aptitude for it.

From my experience, the horror stories you hear about kids being stuck in the middle of nowhere with only a bible to read are not the norm, and not what most "homeschoolers" advocate for. Even the word homeschool is a misnomer, a large amount of my time was spent at a local co-op with other "homeschoolers". My wifes youngest brother spends 4 out of 5 days split across two local co-ops. Her eldest brother is in a PhD program after the same experience. Most of the homeschoolers I know are more than able to function in modern society. Homeschooling simply allows for a much more tailored and less systematized schooling experience, making each family educational experience more akin to a startup in its ability to be nimble and respond to individual needs.
Yeah I think this is common when the founders of a company either pass away or their memory fades. At some point, you have 2 or 3 generations of corporate management with little of the original entrepreneurial spirit and creative risk-taking.
Ackshually, what happened was the X11 maintainers jumped ship to Wayland.

Once again, just about everyone who knows thing one about graphics on Linux is on board with the Wayland transition. Just like everyone who knows thing one about virology or epidemiology is on board with social distancing and wearing a mask.

The people you have met are probably not a representative sample of the population you would like to generalize to from your experience.
How big of a sample size do you need to be convinced?
Well let’s agree that there is a murderer, and that having committed murder, the murder needs to receive the sharp end of the justice stick.

depending upon your Ideas around morality, that means one or more of punishment because “an eye for an eye,” punishment because of some debatable ideas around deterrence, removal from society because the murder is a threat to commit more crimes, and/or rehabilitation because life in prison does nothing except enrich prison contractors at the expense of taxpayers.... Or because civilized societies try to rehabilitate wrongdoers wherever it is a realistic possibility.

All that being said, this particular person is innocent until proven guilty. But ideally the murderer—whoever they are—will end up with one or more of these consequences, administered in a fair and transparent manner.
> The Senate is also broken (Wyoming with 500k == California with 39M people).

That's because States are political units, not just arbitrary boundaries. So they also have a voice in the federal government as States. To me, Wyoming being able to not be run roughshod over by California just because California has a lot more people is a feature, not a bug.
Thanks for the great feedback!

Regarding the in-browser API, that's a really cool idea. We've added it to our product backlog.

Our sign-in flow is definitely not standard. We thought email-only might be easier for people (since you don't have to remember or set a password) but it seems like it's probably better just to have standard username/password.

Also really good feedback on the pricing plans, we'll get that added ASAP (I think this will also tie into your question #4).

Ah, this strikes right at the core of the primary differences underlying American society today.

I don’t care at all what the doctor’s motivations were - I only care about their actions. In this case, those actions were taken without consent and had a significant negative impact on the patient. Whether they “meant well” or either of us agree with their motivation is completely irrelevant to me.

I understand that others see it differently, and that’s fine. My observation is that this disconnect is almost always always unstated and caused a ton of misunderstandings.

That’s the problem - they aren’t identifying themselves as federal officers, they aren’t displaying legally require identification.

So it is reasonable to defend yourself.

But then police who murdered breonna Taylor claimed (in a stand your ground state) that her boyfriend committed a crime when he shot back at a group of i identified people that burst into their house and shot his girlfriend.

So yeah it would be a bloodbath. A bloodbath caused by the federal government choosing to kidnap and murder people.

At best, charter schools are there to defund public education. At worst, they are outright embezzling of school funding. They are being pushed by Betsy Devos, whose record speaks against her. Her handling of the charter school system in Detroit led to it having the nationwide poorest reading and mathematics scores. In a lawsuit, charter school defenders argued that literacy is not a right.
It is a bit surprising to me that there is such a strong focus in the US on school closures and mask wearing (here on HN but also in the major newspapers). It is my impression that in quite a few European countries there have been, and to some extent still are, significant debates about the effectiveness of both these measures. On the other hand, there appears to have been a much more universal implementation of other measures, namely 'stay home' (if you feel sick) and social distancing (be it 1m, 1.5m, 2m or 6 feet...) throughout affected Western European countries, all of which have the epidemic under control for now. Am I alone in thinking that these measures deserve more attention in the US?

You're grossly underestimating the prevalence of birth defects that lead to health issues in children.

And adults for that matter. (Any teacher who has a similar immuno-comrpomised situation, or knows of someone similarly immuno-compromised is at risk).

In any case, I "don't worry" about the potential death of my niece at all. What I care about are the long term health effects on her and her life. And for the long-term health effects of other children too.

This disease has been shown to ravage and disable athletes: destroying their lung function even when they survive. Deaths are hardly endgame: long-term chronic illnesses are still a problem to try to minimize.

Correct me, but Lockheed has four divisions. I just saw an ad for Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR). Just because a sensor goes on a spacecraft, doesn't mean it can't be tested on a drone.

The projects you listed may not be top secret but I'm sure they still fall under ITAR. Either way if a defense contractor was out testing stuff on drones, then I doubt they would coordinate with anyone.

The power of teacher’s unions varies a ton. Supposedly in some places they have so much power it’s impossible to fire teachers for pretty much any reason. I’ve never seen anything close to that, but I believe accounts that such districts exist. Meanwhile in others the best they can do, with great effort, is get districts to pinkie-promise not to abuse teachers (but then do it anyway, of course). That’s the only kind I’ve seen but I dunno how it works in New York or Chicago or wherever.

No, the votes of people in certain states being more valuable than those in others is also true of the House and Senate.

In fact, the inequity in voting power produced by the Electoral College is a direct consequence of that in the structure of the House and Senate, since the latter is apportioned simply (except for DC) by adding the apportionment of House and Senate seats.

CEOs can't really communicate with developers or designers if they have no practical experience with development or design. Lack of mutual respect can make it very hard to find a balance between giving enough creative freedom and setting deadlines. They may either give too much creative freedom to avoid problems (expensive in the short term), or don't give enough to play safe (toxic & expensive in the long term).

So, how do we set up a system to deal with that?
Funny, when Mac OS X was released, it had two programming languages in equal footing Java and Objective-C, because Apple wasn't sure if developers would be keen in using Objective-C, like on NeXTSTEP.

They created their own Java implementation, had Sun on stage at WWDC, additional runtime features for integration with OS X frameworks, ported WebObjects to Java.

Then the crowd assembled around Objective-C tooling and the rest is history.
My wife is a teacher and starting school (in person) in a week and a half. There’s no answers to questions like:

- Do they have the budget for counseling when students and teachers pass away?
- When a teacher gets sick, what substitute teacher is going to want to teach an exposed class (also, they’ll be making sub plans with covid?)?
- When they’re sick are will they be getting additional sick leave?
- Do they get worker’s compensation if they get sick, since they were knowingly sent into a dangerous environment?
No. Facts are facts.
What metric are you using to conclude Tesla outperforming other car makers? In 2019,BMW sold ~9 times as many cars, Toyota and VW AG sold 30 times as many. Are we just assuming that its rate of growth will continue indefinitely, even as the other carmakers continue to electrify their line ups?

I do agree that oil is on its way out though.

I don't understand the logic around the left's hatred of charters.

You'll probably understand better when you quit thinking that you can automatically identify the players involved. Perhaps simply ask why some folks oppose charter schools.

Others have responded with good answers, such as increased inequality and siphoning funds from public schools. If you take those to be left/right issues, well, there's your problem: does "the right" support increasing inequality and the draining money from public schools? That's kind of a rhetorical question (the assumed answer on my end is, "of course they don't"), but then again, maybe it's not.
These seem to be the "real" reasons: 1) re-segregation 2) skimming[B] 3) de-unionization 4) benchmarking[A] 5) statism preference.

The other declared reasons seemed unconvincing to me.

[A] Benchmarking - competing schools provide parents with a direct comparison point, so it's much harder for a struggling public school to disclaim responsibility for some of their own problems.

[B] Skimming - picking out the best-performing and the least-demanding students.

It’s complicated.

Consider this situation: Alan assaults his partner Beth. He is reported by a neighbour, and Beth cooperates.

But Alan is an abuser who knows all of the tricks for exerting mental, emotional, and physical control over Beth. He convinces her to say nothing in court.

Some people argue—correctly—that threatening Beth with consequences for failing toi testify truthfully about the events she recounted to police when questioned is hurting the victim.

Others argue—also correctly—that without being able to compel victims like Alice to follow-through with the prosecution, we enable and even encourage domestic abusers to witness-tamper.

I don’t know that there is one easy works-in-all-circumstances approach.

On a similar note - I also have found invidious [1] to be so much better than the normal youtube web frontend, and use it almost exclusively for my desktop youtube usage.

I don't understand why companies like Toyota and Honda and Hyundai haven't moved on electric. Ford and GM I understand, I don't expect them to do anything anymore, but 10 years ago I thought the Japanese and/or Korean companies would be shipping multiple electric models by now.

You want to talk complicating things for end users? Does "XF86Config" mean anything to you? X only got halfway decent when the KMS driver came out, migrating much of the video hardware functionality OUT of X and into the kernel. The X server is thus now largely a state tracker for an obsolete protocol.

Meanwhile, Wayland has pretty much the same graphics server architecture that Windows and macOS had decades ago. It finally brings the Linux desktop architecture in line with the state of the art. There may be a rough transition period, but the faster the Linux community pulls together and rips the X band-aid off, the shorter that period will be.

Sort of. These are ways you can built web components today with modern conveniences that some of these _libraries_ (not frameworks), might lend you.

The site isn't claiming these different approaches can all be used together on one page in a practical way.

Technically you could, but it would have the obvious downsides you mention. This is just the reality of the limitations in the standards today.

> Foreclosed homes usually go on the market for a steep discount.

This may be market dependent. When I was buying a house, foreclosed homes were usually not any cheaper.

> For a buyer, it may be a good option to wait a relatively short period for prices to depress rather than build a new home at this time.

I think the general gist is that suburban houses are in demand now, and prices are not dropping. Some may hope that they will drop in the future for reasons you are pointing out, but it's a gamble that depends on the timeline of building a house and how long coronavirus is around vs how long it will take for prices to come down.

> Excited delirium is a very well-known and documented phenomenon, primarily in individuals that are on excessive doses of stimulants

"Well-known and documented" by the police, I think you mean.

Did you read what you just linked?

From the wikipedia article:

> Excited delirium is not recognized by some professional medical associations.

> EXD has been accepted by the National Association of Medical Examiners and the American College of Emergency Physicians, who argue in a 2009 white paper that "excited delirium" may be described by several codes within the ICD-9.

Imma repeat that for you:

> may be described by several codes within the ICD-9

In other words, "excited delirium" is not the diagnosis a physician would give.

More from the Wikipedia article:

> How frequently cases occur is unknown.[1] Males are affected more often than females.[9] Those who die from the condition are typically male with an average age of 36.[1] Often law enforcement has used tasers or physical measures in these cases.[1]

This sounds like really solid medical science! It's totally not something made up to cover police brutality!

> The first use of the term "excited delirium" (EXD) was in a 1985 Journal of Forensic Sciences article

Oh.

> The signs and symptoms for excited delirium may include:[12][13][14][15]
> Aggressiveness and combativeness
> Unexpected strength (typically while trying to resist restraint)

Did a police officer write this?

This is probably the most scattershot Wikipedia article I've ever read about a "medical condition", but it's also pretty damn effective in shooting down the idea that this is a real thing and not just a blanket term made up to cover the deaths of people brutalized by the police. (Assuming you don't unconditionally trust the police.)

> The pathophysiology of excited delirium is unclear,

Hahahahaha, of course it's unclear.

> Key signs of excited delirium are aggression, altered mental status, and diaphoresis/hyperthermia.

Is the primary treatment beating/tasing while shouting "stop resisting"?

Read the Wikipedia article for yourself. It's one hell of a trip.
