It is very interesting, especially the sociological demographic data showing what is happening in response to the decline of church attendance.

In a nut-shell, communities that stop going to ‘church’ don’t produce enough offspring to be long term (centuries) stable, but those that do are long term stable.
Nature of network effects in internet unicorns.

Patreon is indeed a billion dollar unicorn not because it's immediately going to funnel money to shareholders… did Amazon?

Patreon is clearly the PayPal of… being Patreon. The network effects and defining of the brand have already kicked in. I'm pretty happy about it (but then I would be as I'm one of the more successful people on it) but, like I personally told Jack Conte and Sam Yam, I am also happy about what Patreon means TO that 'long tail', because some of the qualities that benefit me also benefit the small fry.

You can't live off a steady and ever-so-slightly growing $50 a month. That's the long tail: people not being discovered, who have only their little crews of supporters. There is no plan to make them all earn thousands of dollars a month because practically, that can't happen to all of them.

BUT, if you have a predictable slowly growing $50 a month (because it's not tightly tied to new product releases of yours, there isn't the feast-or-famine cycle of being entreprenurial in the traditional sense, which I have also done) that becomes a small supplemental income that you can depend on. The value of that is incalculable… certainly worth a billion VC dollars that Patreon means THAT to people.

An extra $50 can mean life and death to someone who is really on the edge. The example I used to Jack and Sam is a single mom with just a cell phone, who can livestream telling bedtime stories to her child. And other moms tune in, and support her and her stories for $50 a month: they can spare it, and that is now food for her child. It doesn't HAVE to make her J. K. Rowling, to count. It matters at all scales.

The anthropomorphization of computers (especially powerful ones) is pretty annoying. A _person used a supercomputer_ to analyze Covid-19, and I’m guessing the theory didn’t just ‘emerge’ from the computer.
Where I went to school (New England, USA) it was done the other way around. Elementary school started at 9am, middle school was earlier, and high schools were even earlier. That schedule didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Wow, that is very authoritarian political view. I hope you do not have much success in making things your dislike illegal
At the same time though, lower and middle classes are competing for the same set of resources. Billionaires aren’t driving rent prices up or causing $15 lunches. Their money gives them an unequal share of influence over our democracy, but it isn’t like if we took it all and redistributed it more physical goods would appear.
> IANALC (I am not a literary critic)

Yeah, and neither am I, although I do have a BA in literature from a third-tier college, which probably doesn't give me much credibility here. Your opinion is pretty close to my own. The only thing I might disagree with you on is that I'm not as attached to the (mildly) archaic language. I think modern English can serve a mythic function; it just doesn't really work for me in Wilson's translation. By the way, if anyone wants to compare, here are three versions of that one line:

Pope

> Wandering from clime to clime, observant stray’d, Their manners noted, and their states survey’d.

Fagles

> Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds

Wilson

> and where he went, and who he met

(On this one, Pope is my favorite too.)

That being said: this is all literature! It's mostly a matter of taste and opinion. And if Wilson's writing helps anyone get something new out of the Odyssey, I'm all for it. I'm genuinely just curious what that is.

Right, and to solve ease of use crypto problems we essentially made new banks (i.e. Coinbase). And we are back to step 1 of people not wanting middlemen taking cuts.
But hey, keep dreaming crypto is somehow going to solve problems differently the last hundred+ years of the physical financial world, because as far as I can see, the end results are going to be the same short of implanting chips directly into people.

The algorithm you describe seems to have nothing in common with what has happened. There are students getting many grade levels above or below what they were predicted. That makes zero sense.

Grade inflation is a completely different topic and has happened even more now that they've decided you can have whichever grade is higher out of predicted VS algorithm, grades are up something like 20% on last year.

As a mainframer once told me, "There's nothing wrong with having 100% CPU usage. We paid for it, we'd better use it".

On an interesting note, in mainframes it's normal to pay for a machine with n CPUs and get a n+m CPU machine delivered and installed. The extra CPUs are inactive until you pay for the upgrade and receive an activation code. In order to reduce downtime, during startup it's possible to have more than your licensed CPUs active to speed up the boot process and to catch up with any missed jobs.
With your definition of wiki, any versioned text file is one...

To me a wiki should have an UI on top of editable/versioned files, otherwise there is not point.

I agree with the parent poster that in this case, the UI is github, thus it's more a github wiki than a git wiki.

SilviaTerra's Guide to Forest Carbon
Back stories help, and so with the Odyssey it really helps to have read the Oresteia (yes, Aeschylus is writing later) before the Odyssey, in my opinion, this helps more than having read the Iliad. It helps because the Telemachy (the first four books with Telemachus) compares Telemachus (he's such an entitled twerp) to Orestes and then in the 11th book Odysseus descends into the underworld and questions Agamemnon. So it helps to know what they're talking about.

With the Iliad, it helps to know about the Judgment of Paris but I think my prof at Berkeley simply recited it. I don't know what the 'classic' telling would be.

Of course it helps to have read the Iliad and the Odyssey before the Aeneid. The first half, the Odyssean half, is just a lot more fun because of Dido. She's like Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. But when Dido does what Dido did then in the Iliadic second half you're stuck with stoic Aeneas (and Turnus) and Aeneas is just not that interesting.

I would say:

1. Judgment of Paris (somehow, somewhere, Robert Graves?)
2. Iliad (I'm a huge fan of Lattimore)
3. Oresteia (at least Agamemnon)
4. Odyssey
5. Aeneid

Behold the oracle!
Lessons from how we took our unknown game to a large audience pre-launch
Homework: What if we made 10-15 minute lecture videos for each class. Student would have to watch/take notes for 50 minutes at night. Then, in school, they do exercises together to practice, not just sit and listen. My favorite math class was 10 minutes of method demo and 40 minutes of practice questions: effective and relaxed.

Practical skills: History is useful, yes, especially for governance and historical equity. If Americans didn't know history well, more Southerners could get away with the false states rights narrative for the Civil War. But, on the whole, I agree we overly focus on literature and ancient history relative to modern skills, IMO.

Overall - I feel the author's pain here - and yet - it does feel a bit like he got burned and this is a bit cathartic.

The first thing is - this is the industry we live in; especially for small companies, it should be expected to have to handle or at least support tangential roles; it should be expected to have more responsibility and lower bus factor; it should be expected that processes, code standards, etc are not matured since this kind of thing often takes time.

The second thing I'd say, is that there are different personality types. Sure, no one wants to be stressed out; but there are a good amount of people that prefer these smaller-company challenges over sitting in large architecture review meetings for months working in a waterfall format (the other extreme).

Some people like to work in a comfortable role, with a predictable schedule, and just color within their lines with the technologies they know, and go home. Others actually appreciate the challenge and difficulty, and see an "on fire" situation and attempting to level up and see if they can get everyone rowing in the same direction, put processes in place that will last, train discipline and standards, and make it a better place to work.

The third piece, is that what I've described thus far I would not use the word "Toxic" for. I would not consider "overworked" to be the same as "Toxic" personally, since it is each person's responsibility to make sure they are lookin out for their own health, and working to an acceptable and sustainable standard. Sure, employers are always going to want you to work more. That said, the line is crossed when the employer demands or forces workers to work beyond healthy or sustainable limits, especially when the worker has clearly communicated these (often, this second part is what is the failure of many devs) - if that limit is crossed, this is what i would describe as "Toxic", including any sort of employer speak which could be described as "abusive."

The study itself:

https://elifesciences.org/articles/59177

Excerpts from the abstract:

Bradykinin is a potent part of the vasopressor system that induces
hypotension and vasodilation and is degraded by ACE and enhanced by
the angiotensin1-9 produced by ACE2.

...

This very atypical pattern of the RAS is predicted to elevate
bradykinin levels in multiple tissues and systems that will likely
cause increases in vascular dilation, vascular permeability and
hypotension.

The Iliad actually covers only a small part of the Trojan war. There's a whole corpus of ancient literature that treats various aspects of the war. The famed Trojan Horse incident happens between the events of the Iliad and the Odyssey and is mentioned in the latter but the most complete accounting is in Virgil's Aeneid.
I don’t disagree that’s not an apples to apples comparison, but Philadelphia is an “ok” comparison since they cover county costs and an airport (but not ports). They are ~50% of SF’s per capita spending.

Regardless, I think the argument that SF just “needs more money” isn’t a particularly strong one.
While not perfect, Montessori seems like a good start to demonstrating that kids can choose to study.

The Montessori Method of Education, developed by Italian physician Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children. The method views the child as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It attempts to develop children physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively.[1]

This is so true for a lot of liberal arts. I just think the social sciences are better left until later in the child's life.

You don't have to understand it. However, I ask that you consider having faith in others' decision to uphold it.

As a partial explanation or theory, consider that the human brain is the most advanced pattern-matching engine in the known universe. Human relationships are emergent patterns shared between these machines as they operate during a finite lifespan and attempt to uphold a lineage of life through the ravages of time, turning into culture. Language is a configuration of a set of those machines which has survived long enough to uniquely capture a signaling and information-sharing medium with a unique set of rules, which is also a key to a culture among a generational network of the pattern-matching machines, a network which had enough shelter to survive for generations. This culture may have useful knowledge, and certainly contains universes of beauty and meaning.

You don't have to agree. But there are certainly those who would recognize the beauty and importance of preserving the delicate, invisible, beautiful power of language structure.

My now wife was a completely self sufficient mother of two living in one of the best school systems in our metro area.

We had been dating for a little while and were definitely in the “pre-engagement” phase but knew where things were headed.

We both were laid off when the company we worked for went out of business. She already had a job lined up making less, but she couldn’t afford to be without health insurance. I had a contract lined up making more. I promised her if she took the job, I could make up the gap and I did.

A few months later, one week after I proposed, my contract abruptly ended. She said, forget about the ceremony, let’s go to the courthouse, get married so I could get on her insurance. I found another contract shortly thereafter.

Six months later, I had a full time job, and her hours were crazy (tech support for a carrier) and my (step)sons were missing her and it wasn’t helping our marriage. We talked about her quitting and finding something with better hours for the sake of all of us.

Fast forward seven years later. We are both working and she is back to making what she was before we got married. The hours weren’t bad, but it still caused a commute and our youngest son was going through teenage issues. Again we decided for her to take a lower paying job closer.

The job paid less, but had good benefits. That allowed me to leave a full time job to take a contract to perm job that would let me lead two green field projects. It would be a great career booster.

Four years later, that led me down the road of having a job making $100K more. Covid hit, her job would have involved her being in the school system. We talked, and again, it wasn’t best for any of us for her to be exposed. She quit her job before school starts back.

Of course by now we have the big house in the burbs. Our lives and her decision to make herself completely dependent on me was based entirely on her trusting me and taking me at my word. On the other hand, there is a direct line to my current income from here supporting me. How is it right for her to be left on the street penniless when she would be in that position solely because she trusted me?
I had this happen when I put up some shutters in my room. There were about six ventilation holes at the top of each one, and the scene outside was projected onto my wall on a bright morning. It was unexpected, and unexpectedly beautiful.
