States aren't historical actors. People are.

I'm not trying to say that "the EC was about slavery" is a correct narrative or even more valid than "it was about states". The point I'm trying to make is unrelated to the specific question about the EC and slavery. The point I'm trying to make is that there are hundreds of narratives for almost every historical event. Motivations that range from the smallest microhistory to the largest historical narratives. And that "APUS said it was about X" is going to miss a whole lot of interesting scholarship.

Again, I'm not trying to make any statement about the EC. I'm trying to make a broader suggestion about the limitations of high school history classes.

Hey people. As content creators ourselves, we know about the time and cost intensive process of producing video content. Our platform was designed to bypass the entire pre-production and production stages of modern video creation by giving users the ability to create synthetic video.

Check us out at https://deepword.co

All that one needs is video of a person talking and the audio they want them to say. Our Machine Learned backend will sync lip and jaw movements of your video actor with your provided audio all within minutes. With this tool, you can turn a 10 second video clip into a 10 minute speech. And best of all, this can be done for free!

Would love to hear everyone's feedback and thoughts on what we are doing.

With Love

UK had mandatory lockdowns only after they tried herd immunity which caused the virus to go wild in their population. By the time they had mandatory lockdowns, infections were already through the roof.

In general, scandanivian countries should be much better protected against the virus, all other things being equal. Scandinavian countries tend to have much lower population density, they culturally require more personal space, they have much lower average dwelling occupancy, in fact they have a lot of people living alone in their apartments etc.

If you compare Sweden with their Scandinavian neighbors you can see how their coronavirus policies failed. If you compare England with their European neighbors and peers (e.g., France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium), you can see how their policies failed.

Comparing Sweden and England is not as instructive. These are two countries that both had failing policies but Sweden did much better because it was better demographically and culturally set up for a pandemic.
There are fundamentals of finance, too, though. You should know how supply & demand work, how markets work, how interest rates work, how profit & loss work, and how different capital structures (stocks, bonds, etc.) allocate profits to different people.

I don't think it's important for kids to learn about specific financial products like savings accounts, CDs, different categories of stocks, etc. That all changes by the time they get into the working world anyway. But just knowing how debt & compound interest works would save many young adults from mistakes that cost them decades of their life.

The last time the human race stopped an industrial scale genocide, half the world had to unite under their own selfish reasons. That's no longer possible thanks to nuclear weapons, so our battle will have to be fought first with introspection and reflection.

We can't do anything decisive to help the Uighurs without ripping apart Chinese sovereignty and causing even more collateral damage, so the best we can do is once again find our principles. We will need them to unite us and guide us through the economic pain and chaos that a proper solution like embargoing China would require.

Funny how I see people going on evening walks with masks when pretty much everyone says the risk of transmission from a 4 second outdoor interaction 1+ meters apart is negligible. I doubt these people are wearing masks at home. This could also explain why, despite seeing masks everywhere, the Bay Area case counts haven't actually dropped that fast.

Also, with the caveat that Sweden is seeing a surge in case (albeit less than Europe as a whole), something that makes its more open policy viable is that a majority of households are single-person.

I'd love to be wrong here, but there are two separe things, content license and general YouTube terms of use, I think the terms prevent you from downloading any content, the fact that some content is licensed CC has to do more with being explicit, perhaps for displaying publicly or just informative, and I want to think they are leaving a bit of gray area for non abusive use(tons of downloads) , but you can see there is no download button, and if you build something that depends on it to certain scale they could go after you with terms of use, not license.

If you can prove me wrong with some link to where are we covered legally to download CC content from YouTube, it would make me very happy.
Decks other people wrote usually aren't useful. You need to make your own flash cards. It's painful, but it's much more useful.
No, thats just the definition you want to apply in order to dismiss anything that makes you uncomfortable or disagree with. Like I've said before the history of the world is a history of conspiracy, and often the people who were calling out those things were labelled as "conspiracy theorist" as basically a form of ad hominem attack. I can't tell you how often I was talking about the NSA et al prior to Snowden, but was called the same thing. Then almost all of those people now bend over backwards to say stuff like "well, we all knew it, why are you surprised?" etc, but it's just dismissing the fact that many conspiracy theories have truth to them.

Like I said, everyone is a conspiracy theorist, they just want to get to pick and choose which ones they like. Russiagate is a conspiracy theory that the mainstream media and many people pushed for 4 years, for example. We literally just had a "billionare" pedophile sex-trafficker assassinated in one of the most secure prisons in the world, with connections and likely blackmail material on tons of high up businessmen and politicians. Memory holed - these are not the conspiracy theories you are looking for.

I think it's fair to note that there is a lot of correlation between these kinds of atrocities and communist regimes. It's also fair for you to note that correlation isn't causation, and the cause (or causes) could be other things, such as the age of the regime. To which others could rebut further (e.g., this isn't the 18th or 19th century any more / genocide and ethnic violence are now exceptional / there are lots of countries to model oneself after; a young government could be "forgiven" for violations by rogue officers or soldiers but atrocities perpetrated under communist governments are routinely top-down policy; etc). This is reasonable debate and it's how we understand and solve issues collectively. Analysis like this is exactly the opposite of "muddying the waters".

Really seems like a "hey nurse did this patient have their fentanyl yet?" would have resolved this issue.

Once you grok the language you can easily model the type of situations that they find awkward.

For example in erlang/elixir you can keep game state in a series of processes. You model the state changes based on messages that a process receives, and you can spawn/terminate processes as needed. Everything he described as challenging is trivial if you understand the language paradigm.

I would be happier if kids learned fundamental principles, like the law of supply and demand, rather than some interpretation of historical events.

If history is going to be discussed, it should be more just one view. The Great Depression, for example, is often described as a failure of economic freedom, rather than the failure of the government's myriad interventions.

Knowing only ONE side of the story doesn't necessarily leave kids better prepared to learn, unless it's essentially true (good luck reaching that consensus).
Shellenberger is not rational when it comes to nuclear. If you base your information off what he says, you will only see the world through his rose colored glasses.

For him, it is a political wedge issue meant to drive partisan policy development.

If we are to be hard nosed climate hawks, we need to look at the reality of nuclear, as it exists today, and the reality of our capacity to change our industrial processes. And having done that, after being very bullish on nuclear starts in the 2000s, I do not see how Shellenberger can be taken the least but seriously. He doesn't address the reality of nuclear on the ground, instead focusing on political statements.
"compete on cost" when you don't consider the external damage by sources like coal, oil, etc is not a good reason. We need dependable power sources. Wind is not predictable except over long periods of time. Hydro is predictable (somewhat) mostly but it's already maxed out and destroys ecosystems as part of its damage. Solar varies quite a bit. Nuclear is dependable and completely controllable, it's also safe, no matter what its critics say. Their knowledge and reasons are 40 years old and no longer relevant with modern designs. No don't talk to me about Japan, that was a bad design even when it was "new" and horrible placement of the actual facility. The saving grace is they can dump all that excess radiation into the ocean around it when they have to.
I'm still going to say indiscriminately imprisoning and torturing a group of people because of their ethnic background.

> Why not start from the imperative model

This video gives a bit of discussion around that point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmkqocn0oQ

My take on it is that it's too hard to put the side-effect genie back into the bottle once you take it out. It's hard to write side-effect-free code out of side-effectful pieces.

E.g. You can't make a reasonable transaction system if you allow side-effects. You just have to hope that the programmer doesn't include any code that can't be rolled back.

> Haskell's "do" notation seems to be an acknowledgment of this, but to me it's adding another layer of abstraction just to recover what imperative syntax gives in the first place.

Haskell do-notation and Scala for-comprehensions kick arse and I always miss them when I don't have them. I think lack of do-notation is my biggest complaint about Java syntax.

This is true to the extent that it’s true to say that functional programming requires you to make copies of immutable structures every time something changes, which is to say not at all.

Multithreading is a problem when you have chaotic ownership of writes and updates. There are decades of prior art showing that this is a manageable problem using various strategies, and it’s not helpful to talk in absolutes rather than discussing the relative trade offs.
There is no one "best" way to program.

> I didn't see any news about full flights getting infected in the way I would expect.

In order to see such a story, someone would have had to do contact-tracing of a large number of people with covid back to a single flight they all were on. Given the haphazard nature of contact tracing (in the U.S. at least) it is quite plausible that large-scale transmission events on airplanes are happening but simply aren't being noticed because we're not looking for them.

That said, the ventilation in planes is pretty good, and if everyone is wearing a mask it's equally plausible that air travel is relatively safe.

There's a reasonable argument to be made against the parent, but "what about" isn't it.
They aren't contradictory. 2019 had unusually few deaths, in part due to a mild flu season: https://www.icuregswe.org/globalassets/dokument/influenza-in.... So there were lots of vulnerable people who likely would have died in the next year, but COVID compressed many of those deaths into a few weeks.

It's common for me to read something, and forgot it even existed. I can't look it up unless I know it exists. With flash cards, I am reminded that it exists every once in a while.

As an example, here's a simple card: What is the recommended way to traverse all the files (including subdirectories) in Python?

Answer: scandir and not os.walk

os.walk is my standard goto. Then I learned about scandir, but kept forgetting that there was a better alternative to os.walk. So I made a card for it.

The other answer, of course, is speed. If I'm going to Google "what is the alternative to os.walk?" or something similar every time I need it, it adds a lot of friction and I simply won't bother. And no, I don't do this often enough that looking it up each time will force it to become ingrained.

And frankly, when you do math/physics, you do need a number of concepts in your head. Solving a complex problem requires multiple parts/stages, and solving requires you to have them in your head so you can put them together. My biggest mistake when I was in grad school was thinking I could get by without memorizing. It worked fine for undergrad level math, but it was a real problem when I took higher level courses. The professors were split on whether memorizing is a good idea, but the fact is the professors used this stuff a lot more than I did.
The only thing worse than global mutable state is a complicated and buggy structure that does the exact same thing that global mutable state does
From the end of the article:

> To come so close to death does not provide a shortcut to wisdom or contentment. It doesn’t answer all your questions or eliminate your weaknesses. I’m fundamentally the same person I was before, but with one big difference. I’m viscerally aware how tenuous our existence is. How you can be walking on solid ground only to find it suddenly disappear from beneath you. The meaning comes in what I do from this point on. I have been given a second chance at life – and it’s up to me to make the most of it.

The article is clear that there was nothing intentional about this fall, but as a tangent, this excerpt does make me think about people who jump intentionally.

This line of thought is a bit ghoulish, but as far as I know about 90% of people who make an "unsuccessful" suicide attempt never commit suicide [1]. There are confounding variables galore here --- maybe it's the toughest cases who pick the most reliable methods; 10% is still way above the population risk for suicide --- but I've wondered if there's some way to give people that "oh, I'm going to die, and I don't actually want that" feeling that is apparently not uncommon [2] without actually hurting them.

I’ve never heard of the ESP8266, but I have heard of (and used, for several projects) the RPi. That’s probably the reason for a lot of people.
In addition, every closure is also a 'state container,' as it were. This is how some functional languages e.g. Erlang emulate mutation. A function holds the desired state in a closure and evaluates to a new function closure with updated state. It's also how a stateful object system can be trivially implemented in Scheme.

A few of pieces of the Erlang OTP infrastructure are actually just an elaborate mechanism to reintroduce global mutable state i.e. the process registry or Mnesia.
Bell's Theorem only removes local hidden variables
This may be true in your personal experience but that’s certainly not universal. A key distinction is when you learned this: 2-3 decades ago when most people were using languages without first-class functions, this was very commonly the most important feature mentioned because it was the most pronounced difference. That’s no longer emphasized as much now that this feature and related techniques has become mainstream.

Ehh. Not the worst thing. People with Ehlers Danlos have to pop visibly dislocated joints back into place daily (and yes, it's very much painful as fuck)

Arguably the most horrifying is when a male dislocates their hip and one of their testicles falls back into that area. You can imagine what happens when somebody attempts or succeeds in shoving the bone back into it's socket when there's a testicle also sitting in the socket. May be more traumatizing for the nurse that shoves it back in once they realize what they've done :D

>Are you justifying China for eradicating a whole culture and its people due to some extremist attacks?

The US tried to justify over a decade of slaughter of terrorists and innocent bystanders abroad as a reaction to one terror attack on US soil.

Don't try to play word games here. None of this is actually justified. All countries are guilty of crimes.

The question I am posing people to consider is this: If several 9/11's happened on american soil. Buildings toppled, hundreds slaughtered by terrorism in multiple events with no end in sight and we find that the origin of these attacks rather than being instigated by one man from abroad is instigated by parts of a cultural community within US soil.

What is the action that should be taken here to completely shut down this problem once and for all?

Not a rhetorical question. I want some serious answers, but at the same time I also know that there is likely no solid answer and every action taken has a compromise.

Also keep in mind this is not a justification of ANY chinese action. None of it is justified.
