This is mostly argument with regards to legal matters though, not actual outcomes of those with severe disabilities. Most sheltered workshops will shut down before being able to pay employees minimum wage. For those that legitimately are incapable of holding down a normal job, they will then have nothing. And having a job has repeatedly been shown to improve outcomes for the disabled.

I think this is a problem that doesn't have a single right answer. Either way some people will get the short end of the stick.

> Of course, the math is exactly the same, but you give the student something to relate to.

No, you give the student an extra problem they need to solve: Figure out what the hell supply and demand has to do with price. Understanding that isn't expected of high schoolers and teaching it isn't a part of mathematics.

History shows there are no intuitive equations outside of basic counting and summing. Even the concept of rate of change weren't explored before the 17th century, before then people had very ridiculous views on what equations physics uses, that is what you get if you try to invoke students intuition here.

I grew up in East Germany. I was part of the mass events leading to the wall coming down, so you can tell what side I'm on.

Still, I hate it with a passion that anytime someone dares to mention some good points of what happened in the "socialist" Eastern countries, and on a purely human level there is plenty even on the system level, comes up with this whataboutism normally thrown at others.

Yes those systems had to go. But there was plenty of good stuff there, and rebuking anyone who dares mention some is unhelpful. It's such a random uncontrolled reflex.
To clarify a little further, the central banks have some kind of control through the interest rate.

The interest rate, at the end, it's not decided by bond markets or private banks lending one to another, but by the central bank adding or removing reserves to the system. So, the central bank can decide to make lending more cheaper (as is the case now) or more expensive (like in the 70's in the USA).

You aren’t saying anything substantial here. The world renowned scientists coming up with the discoveries that allow us to live long lives should not be bucketed with the MBA goons trying to mark up insulin shots and corner the market with medical patents they acquired.

That COVID shot in your arm ID from the scientists that worked feverishly to invent it, and should be celebrated like the ones that solves medical mysteries across all different disease classes.

Why not have the government subsidize medical costs, why punish the inventor who have huge R&D overhead? The corruption you talk about starts and ends with the government.

Has the latest version of Ubuntu finally made mirrored ZFS root pools painless? Because that was anything but a native out of the box experience (compared to setting up the same on FreeBSD) and that has bit me several times.

I've use ZFS on both FreeBSD and Linux for years and while Ubuntu is closing the gap, ZFS has been the default recommended file system on FreeBSD for close on 10 years already. So it's bound to feel more like a native experience on FreeBSD.

> In a review in DistroWatch, Jesse Smith detailed a number of problems found in testing this release, including boot issues, the decision to have Ubuntu Software only offer Snaps, which are few in number, slow, use a lot of memory and do not integrate well. He also criticized the ZFS file system for not working right and the lack of Flatpak support. He concluded, "these issues, along with the slow boot times and spotty wireless network access, gave me a very poor impression of Ubuntu 20.04. This was especially disappointing since just six months ago I had a positive experience with Xubuntu 19.10, which was also running on ZFS. My experience this week was frustrating - slow, buggy, and multiple components felt incomplete. This is, in my subjective opinion, a poor showing and a surprisingly unpolished one considering Canonical plans to support this release for the next five years."

This was Ubuntu's latest LTS release, which is less than a year old. Granted not all of the criticism levelled against it are ZFS related and granted that's just another persons anecdotal report but it mirror the same experiences everyone else, aside from yourself it seems, raises when switching between Linux and FreeBSD for ZFS storage.

I don't post this as a hater though. I, like others, do still run Ubuntu Server + ZFS for some systems (particularly where I wanted ZFS + Docker) and those systems do run well. But I can't deny that everything requires just a little more effort to get right on Linux because there isn't the assumption you're running ZFS where as on FreeBSD it more or less pre-configured to use ZFS right out of the box because that's the expectation. eg FreeBSD containers tooling is already written to support ZFS where as Linux container tooling isn't.

This is why people talk about a smoother experience on FreeBSD. The file system itself is the same code base and performs largely the same. But it's all the stuff around the edge that is built with the assumption of ZFS on FreeBSD that makes things feel a little less hacked together with duct tape.
> to literally physically assault your way to the top

I don't think that's the expectation. I think if the author would punch the lights out of the screamer, he wouldn't be congratulated and promoted, but probably fired on the spot and maybe also arrested and sued. In those kinds of companies, the shit usually flows only one way. Some people are "just this way" and you're expected to treat them specially, but you don't get to be "this way".
To me, this is an example of why individual and collective action on gigantic things, like climate change or privacy, are both important.

I salute everyone here who is able to switch away from WhatsApp. I wish I could dump it as well, but I can't.

Why? I volunteer with a group where one of our main things is to have a small army of people out doing coordinated-but-physically-separated tasks. Everyone has a smartphone of some kind but they're of varying types and quality. We tried using group SMS but that was a disaster, as group-SMS is bad enough but group-SMS-with-30-people is one level below "just fax everybody."

WhatsApp, meanwhile, lets us make daily groups, have a QR code that volunteers can scan at check in to join the day's group, app versions that work on the shittiest Android phone all the way up to the brand newest iPhone. And as a bonus, since almost all of our volunteers have friends and family outside the US, pretty much everybody already has Whatsapp installed and knows how to use it.

The one time our Executive Director tried switching apps, I had to spend an hour talking him out of WeChat, of all things. Point being, we need individual action to pressure our friends and family groups along with regulatory action so that massive platforms can't abuse us like this.

I live in a socal suburb and there is plenty of nimbyism. Any new developments take years or get stalled indefinitely as all the nimbys who already own their home show up to complain and block everything at every turn. Because they don't want the traffic to get worse, or they don't want the community to "lose its charm" or whatever else they can think of.
In my opinion, China is taking it seriously. They just have to get their people out of poverty first (which they seem to be doing well).

One thing you can see them doing is trying to move people out of very old coal heated housing and into apartment buildings...

I'm describing a "top down" approach, as opposed to "bottom up". Or outside in, rather than inside out.

Yes, math was practiced long before computers were a thing. There's a reason it's considered a bad practice to use single letter variables in code.

I can assure you it's much easier to read complicated formulas in well written code than in conventional math notation!

If you were to use all one letter variable names and cram all computations into a single large expression, that would be considered by most to be poor code. There's a reason why, and it's been proven out in industry.

Math is no different, other than cultural biases and historical reasoning.
The important thing to understand, it's not because of some important business deadline. It's not about business goal at all.

It's a very cultural thing, partially a work culture rooted in factory-style production instead of innovation, quality, and mastery, partially a status thing a symbol of control and "ownership" over the workforce. Welcome to China.
Prop 13 actually passed because property owners were pissed their nominal taxes were going up due to inflation in the 70s.

Renters voted for it because they were told that their rents wouldn't go up if property taxes were capped, but of course that's not how market rate rents work. So pissed off renters voted in rent control on SF, Oakland, and elsewhere.

401ks are pretax money.

In general, people put ~5% of their (pretax) money into 401ks because, on average, companies will match that ~5%, effectively doubling your retirement savings instantly.

A common thing to utilize after that is a ROTH IRA, which is paid with after tax money, but the money grows tax free. The max ROTH IRA contribution per year is $6k, $12k if you're married.
This is really going off topic now, but yes, I don't see a bright future for Baidu. You have to realize most Chinese people no longer even do searches on the web; they almost completely live in walled gardens like Tencent WeChat (for general communication), Taobao (for commerce), etc. The web is no longer how most Chinese obtain information, news, or do online transactions. So a search engine for the web has become unnecessary.

For Android, there is one from Peter Sanford (psanford on HN). He implemented the Go version of magic-wormhole, which I think is used by people like tptacek. So I guess it can be trusted.

The old open web still exists. Just because a larger percentage of people prefer the order of walled gardens doesn't mean the web is now closed. I'm sure the lawyers would love for us to believe that and have us normal tech people turn and rage against our most successful members. It's divide and conquer.

Most tech company resources go to litigation and legal fees rather than research and development. They get all the money and they're given the power to read our private emails too, so they can take more money if anything we say using a computer could be portrayed in a negative light. That's the closed internet.

But the places like Oregon and Washington which are booming as a result of "California flight" have all of those same factors with marginally different weights associated to each individual problem.

In particular, Oregon has a higher tax rate than California does for high (~120K+) earners as a result of a lack of sales tax and correspondingly absurdly high income taxes. Oregon is booming. Blue state politics is not what is driving people out of California.

Abstraction makes the mechanics of solving a problem orthogonal to the specifics.

It's easier to do abstract reasoning (spotting deep connections between patterns) when you abstract things. I'm pretty sure this has some solid evidence behind it.

It's really a question of whether you want to teach solving problems in general, or teach how to reliably solve a specific problem. If it's the latter, sure, in other subjects (e.g. accounting, science) they use specific terms a lot more, because the problem is more important than the problem solving.

As a teaching tool, teachers start with "3 apples" rather than "3x" problems. This is usually closer to K than 12 though.
A central observation of modern monetary theory is that all (federal) govt spending is done that way but the fed: the fed just conjures 1 bajillion $ into Lockheed's account, and taxes to "pay for" govt spending happen later. If that's not directly true in details it's true in effect.

The next logical steps are that (1) it can never default on debts in its own currency unless it chooses too and (2) we don't need to "pay for" new spending with taxes. (Although taxes are still important for a variety of reasons: providing incentive structures, preventing inflation.)

My main gripe is using "Gen X" as "older person" and "millenial" as "young person".

The youngest millenials are ~26 years old, born in 1996 according to US census definition. They were already 13 when Whatsapp was invented, much older when it became popular.

Replace Gen X (avg 47 YO) with millenial (avg 33 yo) and millenial with Gen Z (avg 20 yo) and at least the premise of the article starts making more sense.

The average Gen X had no computer in their teens. Millenial had dial-up. Gen Z had iPhones. Who is most likely to care about open internet vs walled gardens?

1. The Federal Reserve have to add reserves to the system when there is demand from the economy in order to keep the interest rate that they want. Otherwise, the interest rate would go up because the offer and demand dynamics between the private banks.

2. If there is not demand from the economy for credit, adding reserves to the system will push the interest rate very low (that's happening now). If there is not demand from the economy those reserves will not be lend, ergo, they will not be inflationary (they could affect other financial assets prizes though).

3. Apart from keeping the interest rate where they want, adding reserves to the system will happen when the fed buy assets from the banks (they are payed with reserves). One of those assets are government bonds. So, the Central Banks can finance without limit (other than inflation) fiscal expansion from the treasury. This money, used to finance government spending, will be spend in the economy. So, it's the fiscal policy what will be inflationary, not the number of reserves per se.
