In the Bay Area, the cupertino schools are well known to be excellent public schools, always 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings. Schools in surrounding areas are usually not as good. This means all kinds of things, for example cupertino homes have very strong real estate values ("cupertino schools!").

I found out how they do (part of) it. If a child living in the cupertino
school district registers and is not proficient in english, they are "redirected" to a nearby school say in sunnyvale.

simple.
Totally understandably so. However I think that it is also a matter of perception: If we view it as a matter of living the dream while some intrusion might endanger that dream, surely minimizing the damage done to the dream is a logical consequence. But what if the intrusion stops making your job a dream job?

I was in a similar situation where a superior demanded that I breach the trust our users had in the privacy of our service. This would not only have been illegal, but there was no way to make use of that data without revealing that we broke that trust. Additionally it made no sense, because the info my superior hoped to gain through this wouldn't have been readable from the data anyways.

My superior was a typical authotarian male: Saying no to him is something he took very personal. This was my dream job, but breaking privacy rules goes against anything I stand for (which no longer would make it my dream job), so I did what needed to be done and stood up. I explained carefully what he needs to know before making that decision and why I wouldn't do it that way, all the time making sure there is a way out for him where he can keep his face.

Guess what, I didn't need to breach that trust and the superior ultimately was thankful that I stopped him from running into this. But it left a very bitter taste in my mouth that the guy even considered this as a possibility.

While I acknowledge the authority of the domain for your link, I must say that I have come to truly despise this class of slimy homophone equivocations (I'm attacking the concept, not you). There is something valuable, I claim, when specialist jargon leaks into general use and begins to become adopted by the masses. We (the public) get to feel as if we are in on the process of a specialized craft.

There should be no shame for innocent ignorance, but the remedy is correction and improvement (lifting all boats), not passing out participation trophies by watering down our vocabulary. "Massachusetts" is hard to spell (I just looked it up, myself, to be certain), but that doesn't make it a good idea to accept alternates.

Its not only about practicality or work involved either. You are replacing something that works and is battle tested, with something that is unknown (even if its just minor upgrade). That can lead to bugs that affect end users. Even if you have automatic tests, it still applies, as you can never test everything.
Literally the whole Celsius-using world manages it fine.
Yes, and then they go out in a flash.
If the people further up the chain have similar incentives (higher scores = we've all done a great job), and most students are either benefiting from the cheating or being harmed by it in only a fairly minor indirect way, it's plausible to me that nobody would want to stick their neck out and make enough of a fuss to change things.

I've never seen anything this egregious, but in my own experience people are usually willing to go along with systems that don't make sense (according to their ostensible purpose) and aren't very fair, if that's what everyone else is doing and there's no personal gain to be had by rocking the boat.
> It's pretty clear that human brains are just programs. Extraordinarily complicated highly optimised programs, sure. But nobody has even found a shred of evidence that there's anything fundamentally different to programs in them.

That's not the case. Or rather, we don't know, we only have models and some are useful. In your statement there's a whiff of you having only a hammer, and everything looking like a nail.

I'm not saying I entirely disagree, only that the computer analogy is only an analogy, and has problems and detractors.

For example, this from 2005: "In cognitive science, the interdisciplinary research field that studies the human mind, modularity is a very contentious issue. There exist two kinds of cognitive science, computational cognitive science and neural cognitive science. Computational cognitive science is the more ancient theoretical paradigm. It is based on an analogy between the mind and computer software, and it views mind as symbol manipulation taking place in a computational system (Newell and Simon, 1976). More recently a different kind of cognitive science, connectionism, has arisen, which rejects the mind/computer analogy and interprets behavior and cognitive capacities using theoretical models which are directly inspired by the physical structure and way of functioning of the nervous system. These models are called neural networks—large sets of neuronlike units interacting locally through connections resembling synapses between neurons. For connectionism, mind is not symbol manipulation. Mind is not a computational system, but the global result of the many interactions taking place in a network of neurons modeled with an artificial neural network."

Not a huge outlier. I find Starcraft 1 graphics more pleasing than Starcraft 2 for the isometric-2d reason.
My main recipe for crisis management when a company is about to go off the rails or if it has already happened: cut down on complexity. 9 out of 10 times that's enough to get things moving again. Highly frustrating that we keep making these mistakes over and over again without ever learning from them. Complexity has a price, you should only spend it if you really need it.

Aerosols are human emitions, carbon heavy pollution being a order of magnitude bigger than the others. The carbon heavy aerosols turn into co2.

When I was in China I experienced this first hand , it was super hot summer weather very very high pollution. Over night their was freak rain the must of cleared the air because it was the bluest sky's I have ever seen. This tropical weather suddenly because the coldest I have ever been. The pollution acted like a blanket trapping the warmth. With that blanket gone, I had to rush to the store and buy a large winter jacket.

In a sense, Mars is interesting just because it's boring. As in, compared to the other planets besides Earth it's perhaps the most benign environment for humans to possibly settle.

Settling Venus is also possible, but it's less accessible due to the Earth-like gravity well, and it's easier to imagine humans living relatively comfortably and self-sufficiently in a Martian Hobbit hole than on giant zeppelins in the atmosphere of Venus.

Venus is more mysterious simply because it's harder to see surface features under that atmosphere and the conditions on the surface are very strange and hard to imagine.

This is a fringe event. Large scale grid storage is at least 10 years away. It's not a market failure. The irony is that all the complaints about grid storage will disappear once we have it because running a grid without grid storage will be considered insanity by that point.

How is that safe unless you've got a production line doing it? Seems impossible to re-assemble it in the same way as it was done in factory...
Yes, you make a good point. But there's another factor that I think makes this untenable, at least in the US — the widespread use of well-proctored standardized tests. Very hard to cheat on those.

The Government of Ghana is seeking to mine bauxite in the Atewa Forest Reserve in a deal which will see the country benefit from $2 billion worth of infrastructure projects from the China Development Bank in exchange for the mineral.

Three global and major manufacturing firms namely, BMW Group, Tetra Pak and Schüco International are unwilling to accept bauxite mined from this forest due to the catastrophic and irreversible effects on the people and wildlife that depend on the forest.

Ghanaian environmental groups like ARocha Ghana, Wildlife Society of Ghana, Rainforest Trust, Friends of the Earth-Ghana have been piling pressure of government to stop all mining and prospecting activities in the Reserve warning of dire consequences for the country.
I think you might have misunderstood. When I say they're programs I mean that the answer a brain outputs could also be computed by a (sufficiently powerful) computer program. I don't mean that they're literally dealing in bits and bytes.

Artificial neural networks don't have "memory addresses" to store data in the same way that a conventional program does either. But they can still store data. GPT-3 knows the first page of Harry Potter, but if you feel through its weights you won't find any of the text. The knowledge is distributed somehow (in a way that we don't fully understand).

Despite that GPT-3 is clearly a program.

It is possible to prove software adheres to a certain specification. This is time consuming, and how feasible it is depends a lot on how your specification was written. It generally also depends on how your software was written.

The big issue is that writing a useful specification can be hard. Especially if you want to also make the specification easy to check.

A side issue is that your proof will make assumptions about how a computer works that are simplified.
You should have written more!

My son once grab on the street a huge crate of 80s movies on VHS next to a trash bin. He regularly uses them with his friends for ""80s nights" where they watch 80s action movies (a full set of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme movies), on VHS, on my CRT TV (bought in 2000, still going strong). Huge success among the youth.
Default font sizes/layouts often don't suit me, so I've become very used to zooming (out, usually). LW is about right for me at 90%, while GW is a bit big at 80% but rather crowded at 70%. I can't pinpoint what I like about the LW layout, but it feels spacious without being wasteful. I think a lot of it might come down to the font itself.

Well, here goes another thread about free speech vs. ethical discourse, where atleast one side uncompromisingly refuses to put themselves in the shoes of the other.

Just to fast-forward this thread a bit for everyone:

- Free speech doesn't exist on some for-profit company's platform. Communities should be moderated on some ethical standard for the benefit of peace

- Free speech trumps ethics and peace -- without free speech, we have neither

I would have thought that the most significant form of gaming the system would be discreet student selection. This is available to both independent and state school systems. You find a kid who isn't doing well in your school, and as the head teacher you find a way to invite them to leave. That way you don't need to have the resource for whatever special requirements they need, it gets dumped on some other school. It has the nice benefit of being vaguely justifiable, because of course there are kids who genuinely need special help.

On the other end you game the system by offering scholarships, and by selecting parents who are keen enough to part with a few tens of thousands of pounds a year.

I'm pretty surprised at the outright exam cheating though. My guess would be that if it happened it would be the teachers doctoring the papers without the students seeing it.

My impression of the UK school system is that they've done a lot with reducing bullying in the last couple of decades. It's visible when you visit a school that they care about it, and the kids have assemblies about it, something that would have been left to the kids themselves back in my day.

The VHS tapes are actually more robust than DVDs are. A single scratch or scuff can render a DVD useless. A VHS will just soldier on if the tape gets creased and straightened, etc.

VHS only looks bad if it is put on a big screen.

The Chinese model is pretty spot on. Just let the government own voting shares in private companies. The question isn't whether public vs private is better, it's about how to harness the best parts of both. You want the government to step in and prevent unfair and counter productive behavior and you want the private company to run the infrastructure as efficiently as it can.

It's not homophone equivocation. "Lede" is obsolete, and for some reason people started using lede instead of lead. Lead has been in use for this for longer than lead.

> lede

> obs. variant of lead n. and v.

> lede

> variant of leed 1, Obs. language.

Earlier uses of "Lead":

> lead, n. 2

> f. Journalism. A summary or outline of a newspaper story; a guide to a story that needs further development or exploration; the first (often the most important) item in an issue, bulletin, etc. Cf. lead story, etc., under sense 11b below. Quot. 1947 refers to a radio news broadcast.

> 1927: Amer. Speech II. 241 “`Lead'..is used as a noun to refer to the initial summary of the story, or as a verb to instruct the printer what to put first.”

> 1947: Hansard, Commons 19 Dec. 2113 “There is what one calls the `lead', which is..the first item.”

Ah, sorry, in my industry (tech) most of our salaried jobs pay way better than minimum wage when considering your dollar per hour worked. So I'll happily work 50 hour weeks instead of 40 hours ones when I'm getting paid 10x as much. It's really quite a nice tradeoff vs, say, having to work two full-time minimum wage jobs to make ends meet. It even compares quite nicely to other high-paying industries, e.g. in i-banking you work 80-100 hours a week the first two years (still making six figures mind you), but then those who survive get promoted, with a nominal salary bump, but the main difference being that you now get to work more normal 40-50 hour weeks.

I don't know if I would use the word "trust". I'd probably characterize it more as "responsibility". You get paid more because you are the one responsible if those who report to you don't deliver. Your boss will only yell at you, not your reports. Management does not require necessarily _more_ skill, but still requires a skillset nonetheless. If you can make 100 people 10% more efficient, then theoretically you are worth 10 people. I _do_ believe that you need to be able to make your managers "trust" you in order to get promoted, but that's talking a bit more about how to actually move up in the corporate world.

I also don't know if it's really that much a mystery how to make more money. Move into management. Move into higher-paying industries, like finance and tech. Own your own business (half of it being defacto making yourself a manager). I think mostly people don't have the privilege that allows them such mobility. You can usually get promoted to shift manager pretty easily within retail by, um, just never being late. But moving higher probably requires various social skills (such as gaining trust mentioned above) that certain upbringings will give you a massive head start on. Many industries require advanced degrees that require a heavy initial cash disbursement. And so on.

Or are we saying, that you've chosen an industry that doesn't pay well because you personally like it, and want to get paid more? That's difficult if your company/industry just doesn't have that much excess money to throw around. Or are we talking about how to get paid more for your job without switching into management? There's probably an upper limit to what you'll get paid (usually companies have pay bands for each position), based on what the company considers to be the maximum value that can be provided by that position. So you want to make sure that you're getting paid commensurate with your output relative to your peers. And I guess that requires similar skills to getting promoted positions, but with a much lower bar, usually just around convincing your boss that you're generating the value that you are. If you've capped out that pay band, then your options are to convince the company to rethink their value system (generally impossible), switch to a different position, or switch to a different company.
