I can only assume they are talking about “school of the air”. Very much not the norm here, it’s very remote students hours from towns taking school remotely.

It was 1 way or 2 way radio back in the day, now wiki says it’s 1 way video stream with 2 way voice.

From wiki...
“ Each student typically spends one hour per day receiving group or individual lessons from the teacher, and the rest of the day working through the assigned materials with a parent, older sibling or a hired home-stay tutor.”
I agree that there needs to be a more evidence-based approach. Though, I don't quite follow you on the specific example. The scientific consensus that I'm familiar with (based on trying to figure out, a couple years ago, how best to support a young child who was very eager to learn to read) is that you get the best outcomes when you use both approaches, and the current thinking is that no reading instruction program that is based on just phonics or just whole word can be considered a complete reading instruction program.
Kotlin offer unsigned integers.
Graalvm support c/c++ could in theory support rust too.
>Spoken like somebody with no skin in the game.

I am empathetic to the situation but that's a limited view on "skin". Those who are or have loved ones (colleagues, friends, etc) in the high risk categories also have skin in the game. The 783,000 COVID-19 deaths have permanently affected tens of millions of lives.
It would be a command-line option. They used to have a system preference to disable signing, but a lot of software (including Minecraft, for a while) walked users through disabling gatekeeper security for the whole system rather than sign their individual software or try and explain right-clicking.

Make darn well sure you aren't using any unsupported operations.

In their favor, if I were to revisit them I could use it now; however in the past they didn't support templates and a few other things which turned out to be major blockers.
But Apple can already detect that using XProtect…
> Have you thought about the possibility that what you consider "breathtaking racism and misogyny" might not be seen as such my[sic] a sizable portion, maybe a majority of Americans?

I did, and immediately discarded it as ridiculous. 63% of Americans support Black Lives Matter[1], for example. Furthermore, women have been a bigger proportion of the vote than men in every election in the past four decades[2].

Must be nice to have flexible working hours! Many people do not have that luxury, even when working remotely.
I'm curious to look at filecoin - last time I tried to use sia, it was still fairly rough around the edge (minimum file size, seed based recovery isn't automatic, etc).
> Why would Sony devkits be sensitive? What exactly do you mean by "devkit"?

"Devkits" (at least in the context used here) are hardware for developing console videogames. Console manufacturers work quite hard to control who gets to develop for their platform and how. The devkits are often quite expensive and you won't (usually) get your hands on one unless you work for a company that has signed a very detailed contract with the console manufacturer.
My point is the whole thing of wanting kids to sit down and be quiet is flawed.

Look at how much we medicate kids just to sit there nicely and be quiet and don't fidget in a class, follow the justification backwards and all you get to is that schools don't know how to deal with how young boys deal with boredom.

School should teach real skills, how to do your own research and how to create something from nothing and the rest will fall into place.
Attempting to bring the suit is likely itself just a smear tactic, to apply pressure to fire someone.
Nice, quality over quantity of course, but I would apply to a lot more if you want to weed out lower offers. You can try to get 2 offers and use that as negotiating leverage. Applying to more will allow you to simply ignore/skip companies that aren't paying good rates.
This is what I was thinking/ further reading the article confirmed. Takes ‘I digress’ into a new dimension. Had to abort midway through.
Hospitals are not overflowing.
There was no intent at all to be disrespectful. The comment caught my eye in part because I have something of a personal interest in Iran.

I used to speak regularly with an Iranian who was, among other things, a software developer. My general impression is that money was not nearly as big a problem as other things, thanks to the embargo.

Your comments don't quite fit with my understanding of things, which could be just my lack of knowledge about a lot of things. If you are Iranian and, thus, your primary language is Farsi, perhaps it's due to a language barrier.

I'm trying to bow out of this discussion and already deleted one of my comments. It seems like a rather lot of negativity over a minor observation on my part. So it doesn't seem like a good place to try to start a meaty discussion of open source in Iran, or I think that would be interesting to me personally, in spite of my limited knowledge of code and so forth.
You keep making the mistake of conflating the 2016 RNC's political fortunes and Trump's. Many Republican insiders probably didn't even want Trump to win the general election as it would mean they'd be frozen out of influence in the party. Remember that guy Paul Ryan?

After Trump was elected and showed himself to be an establishment wolf in populist sheep's clothing they've largely mended relations, and the few holdout never-Trumpers have left for other pastures (including the Democratic Party), but it was a very different picture in 2016.
I sympathize with her difficulty, but this article struck a bad tone for me. I think it was the tone in which it was written, but it seemed really self-centered. Everybody is in the same boat right now, but the author makes it sound like her family is being uniquely imposed upon. The situation is bad, and schools are doing the best they can under the circumstances.

I followed your advice and searched on the Airbnb reddit for advice on review removal. And the results are the opposite of what you indicated. All posts are about how incredibly difficult it is to get reviews removed from Airbnb [1]. And it seemed like hosts are frustrated that they cannot even remove unfair reviews.

They never had a choice.

There seems to be a trend in the US society today to error more on the side of safety than liberty than I've seen ever before. Particularly, this is a change in the tech community which has been a bastion in the fight for individual freedoms since I've been alive.

In the end, when you make that bargain at the levels we are making it today, the safety is only temporary but the damage to liberty is unrecoverable without starting over.

It's a bad bargain.

To be clear of straw men, I'm not saying that individuals (not groups) who have personally demonstrated bad behavior should have complete freedom to repeat such acts. This argument is, and always has been, about pre-emptive actions against the innocent in the name of safety.
> You're sitting on greater than 50 million dollars?

Outside of Disney comic books, money doesn't sit around.

The money "in" my savings account is just bits in a database. The value it represents has been loaned by the bank to someone who is doing something with it.

When I sell stock to pay a tax, the money to pay that tax has to come from someone who bought it. That value represented by that money is value that won't be used for other things.

Are you certain that what govt will do with that value is better than what those someones are doing with it? That's the question because taxing me means that they won't have that money and govt will. (Taxation doesn't create value - it moves it.)

All of the talk about roads and stuff is somewhat dishonest. Transfer payments dominate govt spending, not production of goods and services.

> That what a wealth tax would most likely target

Ah yes, the "the tax will only affect bad things" rule. Is there any good reason to believe that the folks who are pretty much responsible for the current tax system will somehow figure out how to do this correctly?

Your belief about "money just sitting around" is not encouraging.

When things go south, we'll hear about the value of breaking eggs, but for some reason the omelets don't show up.
This is the solution used on motorcycles (which don't usually have fuel gauges). There's only one tank, but in the normal position you get fuel only to a certain depth.

As you're riding along, if you notice the engine running out of fuel, you reach down and flip the fuel switch and you have access to a little more fuel (and you know to head to a gas station soonish).
We’re on my developer salary in a modest Chicago suburb house, which is enough for us by itself, so my wife was able to leave her job to focus on our 6yo daughter full time, with little financial concerns. We can pretty much last like this indefinitely, if nothing changes.

We were living in the Bay Area a few years ago, and then a couple of years in Chicago itself, I’m very thankful we happen to find ourselves in a more affordable area as this is going on, because everything would have been much trickier...
Do you pay taxes? Do you vote? If so, you're part of the problem. (Me too, so don't feel special...) The machine will crank out the product as long as the machine exists.
This cannot be a case... this arrogant rich twat is suing someone for not making enough money.
OK, fair to call that out. My bad for grabbing numbers from my arse.

So let's take the average, which per your source, says $1400 / year (or $700 per 6-months). $700 * 0.15 = $105 savings per 6 months ($17.50 per month).

So now you need to ask, will you qualify for the full 15% discount? If you stop too quickly or roll through a benign stop sign, you can forget it.

And worse, don't you think that the insurance company in question already raised their rates by 15% only to give you a chance to earn that back with (quote) "good driving habits"? If they ding you for anything, then you're going to pay the higher rate.

It's like a grocery store member card. If you don't have it, they just don't care, they just charge you the non-member price. But their member price is already profitable, so the few shoppers coming through and buying without a membership are just paying an additional gravy to their profits.

Insurance companies want to get into this game, desperately. Oh, you don't have their tracker app installed? Well, you're going to pay the non-premium expensive rate and they get the keep the profit. Your good driving is not going to offset your demographic either.

And then there's all the privacy concerns. No thanks, I'm going to opt out and not buy into the $18 per month non-discount with some gimmicky insurance company and instead give my business to a company that doesn't want to play premium discount games.
You act like this policy was intended as punishment instead of as risk mitigation.

Mandating full disk encryption is easy for IT to enforce. A policy of not putting sensitive information on laptops is valuable, but difficult to enforce. Encryption is a sound way to reduce the risk of harm when that policy is inevitably broken.

Full disk encryption also been the company-wide policy of everywhere I've worked in recent memory, fwiw.
It seems they aimed to answer the question: What are the consequences of limiting the WA spec to only try to sandbox the WA binary from outside memory, and not try to prevent it from exploiting itself? The answer they got was that yes, a WA binary may be capable of exploiting itself. I think this is an interesting and valuable result, but I don't think the result is surprising, or that it invalidates the design of WA. The outputs from WA are not guaranteed to be what you expect. Or put another way: C is still C. I wonder if such a vulnerability could be found in a program written in safe Rust.

Notably, they don't appear to even try to break the WA-host memory barrier, which I actually find to be a validation of the core design goal of WebAssembly: isolate the damage a vulnerable program can inflict to the memory space (and thus also output) of that program. Protect the host from the program, but not the program from itself. Also, maybe don't dump WA output you can't validate directly into DOM.
I suppose you could argue that with PLO, but not Hamas. They are in complete control of Gaza have been since 2007. They could have held elections there anytime they wanted to. But they won't.
Most of your counterarguments either barely make sense, or don't even address the arguments I made. But I'll try to clarify and spell things out for you.

> Once we reach that level of design, why would we not engineer all sorts of beneficial items in?

Why would we not engineer all sorts of beneficial items into Twinkies? Why wouldn't we maximize visibility of healthy food in supermarkets, instead of junk food? Because it reduces profit. PR efforts such as golden rice will give way to profit maximization as soon as there's wide acceptance of GMOs. This is what already happens with other food that corporations are able to totally engineer, but you think they'll suddenly find their conscience and do what's best for the consumer once it's GMOs they're engineering, not cookies?

> So for free all farmers and people are getting more seed options, not fewer.

They get more seed options just like they have the option of hand tilling the soil instead of using tractors - they'll go bankrupt unless they plant the most optimal seed. Even if the gain is only 5% or less, profit margins are so thin that can make or break a farm. This is only "goofy" if you completely ignore economics.

> There is no law of physics that cannot mutate things slowly or quickly, so this assumption that there is some magical limiting rate of evolution is also not science based. [..] GMO is delivering on that in a manner that no selective breeding can do quick enough.

Those sentences contradict each-other.
Probably not too difficult to make the app itself. To build the network of drivers to make a consistent enough service to attract users(and then more drivers to expand further) is the tricky part. + insurance and regulation, when they started they didn’t have to deal with it as much until they did, and by then they had resources to do so.

The problem is that it's such a slim majority of the people that care. The sad truth is that the vast, vast, majority of people are completely uninformed. A significant percentage of them wouldn't even understand your concerns if you tried to explain it. All they care about is what vehicle has a big shiny entertainment screen, where the salesman has promised a low enough monthly payment. That's it.

99.99% of people buying a car don't care what the drivetrain is, what differentials are in it, what engine is in it, how anything works, nor do they care. I wonder what percentage of buyers know whether the car they just bought is a FWD/RWD/AWD/etc vehicle, or even know the difference.

I think the sad truth is that because of this there's no market pressure to do things right. There's also the problem of regulation and vehicle manufacturers basically being forced into doing stuff like this as time goes by.
Single-income family that sent a kid to all-day pre-k reporting in. We offered our kid the choice, and they enthusiastically opted for the all-day option.

I don't think it was really a hard choice, from their perspective. "Do you want to spend 3 hours having fun with friends every day, or 6 hours?" That's right up there with, "Would you rather have one cookie or two cookies?"
This is more or less what happens with tipping so I would assume it also happens here.
True, but I typically build with link time optimizations (-flto) since I do a lot of software rendering, and this really hurts incremental builds too. I'll checkout your link, but as for polymorphism I've had good luck with doubly linked lists holding void pointers, and routinely writing maps / filters with

#define foreach(node, list, ...) for(Node* node = list->head; node; node = node->next) __VA_ARGS__

And using it along the lines of

void Move(List* units)
{
foreach(node, units, {
Unit* unit = node->data;
unit->position.x += unit->speed.x;
unit->position.y += unit->speed.y;
}
}

Or something along the lines of that
Essentially how the Indian subcontient and the Indian Raj was controlled by the EIC.

In 1857, the ‘Great Mutiny’ broke out in which the Hindus and Muslims jointly fought against the British. This shocked the British government so much that after suppressing the Mutiny, they decided to start the policy of divide and rule.

The British would pay off various people to speak out against the other group i.e. pay of a Hindu priest to stoke anti-Muslim sentiments, and vice versa.
There are a good chunk of Palestinians living under Arab control in Gaza. They also haven't voted since 2007. How do you explain that?
Apple got lucky because it entered an industry where the sellers (carriers) are more than willing to subsidize the cost of the phone or bundle it with service to make the cost of the phone seem irrelevant.

Over 24 months, the difference between a $650 phone and a $250 phone is minor.
This is far from the first time that someone has been going around broadcasting danger signals to (relatively) wide public awareness, but nothing is done - because people and especially institutions are conflict-averse, and because bullies and harassers are expert at switching to victimhood postures.

I'm struck by the way this one man anger factory was effectively used as a tool by a dozen or two people who (allegedly) egged him on and kept validating his grievances until he eventually flamed out. How can we model this sort of interaction pattern? Could it shed any light on why toxic behavior is so widely tolerated once someone has acquired a certain level of fame or success?
Because we started to lock down relatively early and stayed that way for a bit.
One of the possible warnings you can get literally has "[App name] will damage your computer. You should move it to the trash" in the dialog that shows up. There's a bunch of these, all of them pop up for various GateKeeper/Notarization shortcomings, and none of them actually seem to ever really tell you what the problem was.
Sadly no. But that's because we moved from the school district the following summer. It's a bit of a sore point for me.

I have no doubt if I'd stayed there (K-6), I would have been close to fluent. After lunch was a full immersion in French. My teacher was a native speaker from Belgium. I remember having mastered counting in French, which is quite interesting considering most kindergarteners probably have not mastered counting in English.

As for an anecdote, I had one friend who stayed there through 4th grade. He still lists French as a language on LinkedIn.

[Edit] By master counting I mean having mastered the language algorithm, so to speak. Once you can count to 100, it's pretty easy to get to 200, or all the way to 999 with the knowledge at hand. It's not until one thousand that you need a new word. And, IIRC, French has a _very_ mechanical counting mechanism whereby it was even simpler. Perhaps a native speaker can weigh in here?
How would an automation tax work? Every time a job is eliminated, add a tax? How much? What if there is further improvement in automation but no further job loses? Does the tax go up? What if it's a new industry and companies jump right to automation and skip jobs? Do they pay the tax? How much?
but who does this new step help?
The app in question have been removed already, what breach of developer agreement are you talking about? Do developers waive the right to sue?
> You keep making the mistake of conflating the 2016 RNC's political fortunes and Trump's.

You do realize they were on the same ticket, and Trump's fortunes on that ticket had direct, downticket nationwide consequences for the rest of the party?
Someone recently referred to an undergrad degree as "a middle class union card," which I thought was a rich metaphor for these same economics. Post internet, software, covid, and zoom, the disruption of the university system seems nigh.
- If you think you should ask the question, then you probably Already know the answer (questions that start with “should”, “do you think”, etc.

- when in doubt, keep it out (tru for most things from cooking to sex to commentary)
> But the Iranian government routinely organizes protests where people are literally calling for the death of Americans.

I mean wouldn't you? If Iran had toppled the US government, installed a puppet, and routinely muddled in your affairs for decades essentially making sure that you are unable to progress in any meaningful way?
Not from FAANG, but based in the Bay Area and been working at Tier2/3 companies for a few years now. Initially was going to pivot to LC->FAANGMULATAD. Even had Google remote interview setup. That was BC(Before COVID). AC(After Covid), I dropped it like its hot to focus on personal development and clear my mind. And now that I am clear on what I really want with my life, I am doing some Idea validation/ Invalidation in my spare time(WFH). I am not 100% WFH due to work constraints but certain days of the week I get the entire day to myself. So working and refining my idea and learning Laravel/Alpine/Tailwind/Livewire to launch my MVP. BUT, I know the MVP is at least 6 months away involving days of customer development. I am not even talking about launching a moonshot, but a B2B SAAS that I can start selling from day one. Scratching your own itch, IMHO is a bad idea. You need to solve someone else's need or want. The only way to do that if You are in FAANG is befriend someone , an outsider who is exposed to other non-faang problems. Do You want something in B2C, then ask around and see what consistent problems your friends have? If You want to do B2B, then look in Your LinkedIn circle and find out people in Your network who are non-faang and see what task could be automated for them, saving them time and getting them a raise. Or you could try and run a FB Ad campaign(there was a thread on that a few weeks ago), where a FB PM ran Ads to validate his Virtual Workout idea. Again its Your idea and not guaranteed to get traction. Lastly, don't quit Your day job to start something. Again, if You go through the idea generation/validation process as an "Indiehacker", takes months. Better be prepared for a lot of "busy" days of absolutely doing nothing in the initial phases while You hit PMF(Product Market Fit) and having a job provides that launchpad and motivation.
