The "demolition" argument notes that "the archeological record shows that houses were rebuilt directly on top of the pre-existing foundations of the destroyed buildings." Presumably this wouldn't be so if the inhabitants were migrating away from an area. (Though I guess a new tribe could have come in and built on the same foundations.)
I don’t know about China, but is there any evidence that measuring and firing teachers plays a big role in countries with better educational outcomes?

I would be extremely surprised if China, or Scandinavian countries would have weaker labor protections for teachers than they have for their general populace. P

What they do have is excellent training, paying teachers well, high teacher to student ratios, modern educational systems based on the latest research and/or a culture and familial backgrounds that emphasize and prioritize education.
The fact of the matter is there’s no running away from what happens in the US. Many people leave really good socialists countries because they are basically bored or not challenged enough; so if you want exciting career US is still the best bet. Also whatever happens in the US bleeds slowly everywhere, it’s the vanguard. Don’t forget the grass is always greener on the other side: you’re either looking at a third world country or a place that’s paradoxicall Even worse housing wise than the US.

If Reddit successfully executes its plan [1] to expand its tokenized community points project to its whole site, I believe its market valuation could potentially rival the FAANGs'.

The market caps of the existing community tokens are as follows:

The M1 is much faster on some single-threaded workloads than any other CPU. For example on browser benchmarks M1 is a whopping 60% faster than the 2nd place processor. Browser is an important workload for most people.

IIRC you needed a contract login to open TAC cases.

I always just got copies of the .bins from friends who worked at places that had contracts. They didn't gate updates at that time by which model you bought, once you had access you could get firmware for anything Cisco.
One thing that's illuminating is go to chrome://settings/content/all and sort by "data stored" to see how much local storage websites use. Stuff like vice.com needing 100mb of space on your hard drive for who knows what purpose.
For comparison, the Nintendo Switch cardboard piano works by having you press a cardboard key with a highly reflective sticker on the other end, to lift that sticker above a barrier, so it can be seen by the game controller's integrated IR camera, which streams the image over to the switch over bluetooth, which then runs some image analysis to figure out which key sticker just became visible and THEN plays a note and the latency is STILL so much lower than on Android, that you can actually play it like a musical instrument.
I understand and appreciate the overt racist actions that have happened in the past, and maybe I am just jaded at this point, but saying this is caused by historical racism is giving a pass to the corrupt and failed system that has just given this kid a one way ticket to a lifetime of poverty and incarceration. This isn't the fault of some racist city manager in the 60's who diverted funds away from this school. There is a whole building full of teachers and administrators that are directly responsible for this.

Teachers in this situation have an impossible job, as it stands they will never be able to make kids with this kind of background succeed, and they haven't been able to for 40 years. Their culpability begins because they are willing participants in this education theater. Its funny that the teachers union will put their foot down about not participating in school because of Covid, but they are very content to participate in a system that condemns a majority of the kids to a futureless life.
I read somewhere that the crunch to get 14nm fixed burned a lot of goodwill among their top engineers, and when they saw delays looming for 10nm as well they looked for greener pastures rather than go through the 14nm crunch again. But yeah, Intel’s leadership should have been making better fallback plans for 10nm and beyond from the moment they knew Broadwell would have to be delayed, all the way back in 2013.
> That macs are more stable in day-to-day operation is not really a bold claim though.

It absolutely is. Do you have any data to back up the claim? Anecdotally windows 10's stability seems vastly superior, especially with every release of MacOS seemingly regressing further and further.
How are pandemics not “intrinsic factors in the economy”? We’ve lived through a dozen documented pandemics and can find records of ports and seaside trading hubs dealing with them. The etymology of the word quarantine is related to the amount of time a foreign vessel was isolated at a port before it was allowed to enter the city.

Implying that such spikes in unemployment or any other economic metrics aren’t representative of business as usual is a grave underestimate of how usual the business of pandemics and natural disasters is.

Hi there - Bonfire founder here - this is firmly SMB which is a distinct category. Bonfire is gov focused, Scout was mid-market focused (trying to get into enterprise, and now owned by Workday), and obviously Coupa and Jaggaer are F500 focused (with Jagger also having a footprint in state gov / academia). Also note that Coupa/Jagger are really more of P2P platforms with some light sourcing and CLM in there. Bonfire and Scout are very Sourcing focused. There is MAJOR differences between these markets. None of Bonfire’s gov clients, for instance, would be a good fit for a sourcing platform meant for, say, small rubber manufacturers. Conversely, Bonfire probably isn’t a great fit for a logistics company that mostly procures transport services.

IMO there really is very little in the SMB space for Sourcing and CLM. Procurify is likely the closest but it’s more P2P focused (great company and team though).

Up until recently, I think most players in the space struggled to figure out SMB Sourcing or rather don’t think it’s a huge opportunity on its own. Smaller companies typically don’t do much sourcing volume, so providers that try to play in that space tend towards P2P. And the mid market is HUGE for sourcing.

Now it could be classic innovators dilemma, and these guys will figure it out and then move upmarket to mid-market. I hope they do! The world needs better buying tools, regardless of size.

A new flavour are the full-service procurement vendors out there. The idea being you basically outsource your procurement to them on specific categories (like IT, SaaS, etc). They offer some compelling value to SMBs.

Anyways, I wish these guys luck - it’s an exciting opportunity if they can crack the SMB nut.
Pretty surprising how long it takes to recover from recessions. It took almost 10 years for the numbers to recover from after 2008, way longer than I would have assumed.
The parent comment that I was replying to was stating that one party is known for small government, but isn't. I'm just saying they might appear to be small government depending on the person's views and in comparison to the other party. Neither party is advocating in good faith for a true minarchy.

This reminds me of the Simon Sinek classic "Start With Why." He leans on the example of Apple a bit too much, but otherwise it's a book that gets your attention and makes you wonder why something so simple can be missed by so many.

> As Javascript was maturing, a conventional wisdom has developed among most Web developers, that you should render the HTML on the client side, and then progressively enhance it with Javascript.

Progressive enhancement implied rendering on the server so sites would still work with JS disabled. There is nothing being "progressively" enhanced if render only happens in the client.

Realistically and objectively, the answer has to be yes. Although you get into all sorts of issues if you actually go down that line, so practically the answer is no.

2008 was uniquely bad. The numbers after 2000 wouldn't be that terrible.
Think of it this way: how hard is it to estimate the time required for a software project? How successful are most such estimates?

We don't know how long it will take, but at the same time there is visible progress occurring on many fronts: understanding plasma behavior and how to control it, better superconducting magnets, better control systems, solutions to the neutron embrittlement problem, etc.

There's not going to be a single breakthrough... or rather the fusion breakthrough already occurred. We've already learned about fusion and how to trigger it. That happened in the early 20th century.

Instead of a single breakthrough it will be continued progress on all fronts until at some point everything matures enough that someone manages to build a proof of concept reactor. At that point investment will flood into the space because it will have been sufficiently de-risked.
Nativeness lies more in behavior than in looks. E.g. an input (an edit for old folks) has a very specific popup menu on every system, text selection works in a specific way (think what happens when you double/triple click, move with ctrl or lose or gain focus). Tab order and focusability is important as well. If they get that correctly, by e.g. using borderless system text areas or grabbing a menu from common control internals, it’s not a big deal if they draw some borders or animations by themselves. It’s just pixels in the end, sometimes better than native (which is just crap too often, like windows tables, lists, popdown controls).

But really, native look and feel only left on macOS. Windows lost its traditions around vista, linux never ever had one true way to do UI, and browsers almost exterminated everything else.

They don't have high teacher to student ratios. Usually schools have 1:50+ teacher-to-students. Teachers do grade students' homework and exam carefully. Teacher's quality and dedication overweights the ratio, by far.

Linus and Pull Requests (2012)
Parents are responsible for the education of their children. Public school is a failure because it promises parents they don't have to be active participants in the education of their kids. Building your society around the idea that both parents work outside the house and they outsource the nurture and development of their kids to a professional class of child development experts for their whole life will never work. It effects those with limited resources the most.

I can't blame a parent who has bought into a system that was doomed to failure from the very beginning.
In my state I had to provide a log of my attempts to get employed, so Unemployment Benefits never disincentivized me in the first place.

You can measure the generalization gap: the difference between training and test performance. With good generalization that gap will be small. When fitting random labels the gap will be large.

Classical statistical learning theory (from Vapnik and Chervonenkis, among others), predicts that low capacity models will generalize (have small generalization gaps). It makes no promises for large capacity models, i.e. those which can fit random labels. Yet here we are.
It's unfortunate. People who are poor statistical reasoning are easy to manipulate.
I’m pretty sure that none of these latency benchmarks are showing that text input speed is affected. You can definitely input more than 1 character every 40ms in modern “slow” text editors.

Do you have any details you can share with us (support@shodan.io) about how attackers are using Shodan? We have a lot of mechanisms to prevent abuse (blocking anonymous access, limiting number of results/ searches, restricting certain search filters) and if there's more we can do please let me know.

Btw Microsoft, CERTs and a bunch of other orgs are also using Shodan to find out who is exposed. We already had all the data to determine vulnerability before the announcement was made so enterprise customers could search their local Shodan database for affected systems. And we've been sending out notifications as well.
Types only appear in type theory in mathematics. The rest of it is based around objects built on top arbitrarily tall towers of sets which types are simply unable to capture.

The smarts in mathematics is based in the rewrite rules, not the objects they apply to. Since you do not specify what rules apply that is just a term that is already in its normal form since we have no other rules we can apply.

That you assume we are dealing with real numbers merely stems from the fact that books are too lazy to state the rules explicitly in every calculation (and with good reason) and expressions with real numbers are the most common ones that people have exposure to in the average undergraduate course.

Where Do “Shenanigans” Come From?
"This word is commonly used in the UK, and my Irish friend says its origin is from Erse (Irish Gaelic), spelt differently, but meaning the same thing - tricksy, fox like, etc. There is no proof of this, but it is a fact that many Irishmen working as navvies were present in California at the time this word appeared in the States.

UPDATE: Original gaelic Irish word 'sionnachuighm' meaning to play tricks - rough pronunciation at that time 'shinnuckeem.'"

Some of what you say is likely the case but it should be noted that wealth isn't fixed. It didn't start with some families when time begin and doesn't remain static through the proceeding generations.

So there are obviously other factors besides wealth.

At the end of the day someone, somewhere, had a need and put in the effort (for good or ill) and obtained wealth.

But mostly I'm curious what you would do differently?

Not that hard, when you run their quickstart (one docker-compose command) you get a self service node.js based app which uses Kratos client to offer authentication, registration, email reset, user data management, authentication with third parties. All of this backed up on a postgres / mysql / sqlite db and running on a (go) binary.

Some notes:

1. Drawing as a skill does not live in the muscle memory(although it is possible to encode symbolic elements in muscle memory) but in the conversion of eyesight to concrete measurements, followed by a reproduction of those measurements on the page. If you really "get" it, the medium will not matter.

2. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain does get you the starting point of this - by giving you simple techniques to decode what your eye sees - but it does have a gap when you aim for cartoon construction and drawing from imagination - at that point, maintaining proportion as you transform the object in your head becomes the challenge.

3. A simple way of getting past the gap is to focus on graphic design and typography. Simple ratios of 1:2, 1:3, 1:5, over and over, subdividing a space or being translated to an extrusion. If your eye can see simple ratios, construction of the form proceeds by referencing the ratios and mapping them to primitive shapes with the intended relationships. Sometimes you need a lot of construction lines, other times you can see it immediately. The way in which you structure things directly affects the results.

4. Perspective is sweaty work - while you can estimate how a form looks with some rotation, it gets very hard to compute what's going to happen as you make more extreme changes with foreshortening. Professional artists are always looking for ways to cheat around attempting this computation directly, and many fall into a trope of stock scenes and poses adjusted or interpolated into each other, since those are the ones they know well. Making the scene really lively and distinctive always comes back to good use of reference.
