> I think a full index of the contents of hundreds or thousands of emails and their attachments is soon going to take a lot of space and be slow on a mobile device.

I initially read “hundreds of thousands” and would have agreed that it might be a problem for those rare users (not even sure about that), but no, “hundreds or thousands” is a trivial amount of data. Normal mailbox operations already need to synchronize state; you just apply index operations along with this. (As for indexing PDFs and images, I don’t expect that in a basic implementation, or maybe ever. Doesn’t mean the entire feature should be missing.)

Which is why other services (e.g. Tutanota) have already implemented it, and also manage encrypt things like subject lines, which Protonmail doesn’t (!).
I found this list from a recent comment by extesy on another HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27326974.

When you glue the bearing to a surface, the knob/wheel turns freely.

Under the nob there is a fake finger, which is always touching the touch-screen.

So when you turn the knob, the touch screen registers a "finger" going around in circles.

Givent hat there already is a large touchscreen, this is much simpler than cutting a hole in the screen and fitting a traditional knob.
My experience with the american HS has been great. I went in Halifax County High, in rural Virginia, in the late 90s. It is rated 5.5/10, so average school I guess and it was racially diverse.

I attended it as an exchange student, (From Albania), from my senior year.
I took mostly AP classes, and they were pretty good, as the average student was very/well motivated. They were smart and most went to good colleges after it. I got the chance to advance many of my skills, computer wise, and even took programming, which was great as it cemented my desire to pursue CS. (Pascal was the language being taught in 99).
Things like AP physics and biology/chemistry were way behind my Albanian education. I can't image what Gen Ed physics would look like. (probably comparable to middle school level in former commie Europe). AP Calc, was challenging and on par with former communist country education (but very few people take those classes).

Gen. Ed classes, (the ones where average people take) were a mixed bag, as they had plenty of students that clearly didn't want to be there, and just wanted a pass grade and move on.

I also got to join the soccer team and I loved it. Made lots of friends, never got into a fight (perhaps because I was the only foreign student, and people were super friendly), went to the prom, and all that. Became friends with the popular/'in' group of girls, had a gf., etc... It was something like out of the movies.

For me it was a great experience, and it really really depends on how you use it. If you take mostly AP classes, or participate in sports, it is a great thing. If you take the gen. ed classes, you will end up in classes that are designed more to just teach the bare minimum, as most students there don't have any interest in being there to begin with.

The trend of reducing AP classes in the name of 'equity' is very troubling, as it remove the chances of smart students to have a stimulating environment, and let them learn at their faster pace.
That seems like a misreading, the very toplevel post says that you can stop paying by deleting all the data. Then the response says you can also do that by contacting support. Did I miss something?
Lots of states have programs where you can go to college and earn highschool credit (duel credit). Alternatively, drop out, get a GED and go to college. This hard commits you to finishing college but I have a few friends that did it. I did the dual credit thing and avoided paying for a few years of college (state covered books and tuition). Be careful though, lots of kids aren't really ready to leave all their friends they have known for 10+ years. If you go to college at 16 you miss onboarding and the "college experience". In many ways you are alone. It fit me but not everyone.

This probably would work as a one off. It would be very hard to do at school with >1000 students.

Also... beware of first principles, back-of-envelope calculations. They can be useful if you are creating something from the ground up, less so for reform.
I find it much more exciting to make such discoveries with old, stable languages than to follow the latest developments of hip languages. Much of what is invented or rewritten there again and again has been running with proven tools for decades. However, this is often only known to older graybeards who still use stable industrial code without wider open source visibility.

I’ll take your point about era. A friend said the same about On The Road, that it belonged to a generation. I don’t think Stranger holds up, probably for the same reason.

I’m not much of a science fiction fan but I remember Dune and Bradbury’s Illustrated Man fondly. I can’t say that about Asimov or Heinlein or Fahrenheit 451. (Well the first chapter is pretty good.)

Being suspended between two tall structures that can potentially flex independently in strong enough wind, I wonder how much and what kinds of flex it's designed to tolerate.

I also wonder if there's some fail-safe aspect to it. For example, if it flexes too much, maybe the side glass will shatter first, and water spills out, but the bottom glass will withstand greater stresses, giving swimmers enough warning to hustle to the ends and climb out before the whole thing comes crashing down.
I'm not sure what you mean -- it makes sense to me that if you are paying for an email service, they would continue to charge you as long as you store and access those emails in their server, and they would have to take steps to prevent abuse from people who might try to store too much data. Can you be more specific about what the behavior is? Maybe you could show a good way that another email provider has solved this, and provide a helpful guide as to how they could implement that?

This is more about growing up gay than about high school, as is clear if you read other writing by the same author. This is a smart, frustrated writer. It's not about picking the students that won't benefit from more education and sending them off to vocational training, then the fields and mines, as was normal until the mid-20th century.

The UK did that explicitly until 1976, with the "Eleven-Plus" exam.[1] Many areas of the US did it, but this varied locally.

Even inside the same city the variation between schools is huge, let alone across the entire country. So I think there's not much useful that can be be generalized about "american schools".

This is also true in Europe: the schools in the poorer city districs in my very high HDI European country are probably quite shocking to upper middle class American suburbians. (Firearms are rare, but kids armed with knives are not uncommon.)

Maybe some basic stats would concretize the problem for some commenters.

E.g. What was the ratio of failed logins to successful ones before implementing captcha? Now that you've implemented captcha, what is that ratio among the population of users not presented with captcha, compared to to population that is? How many attempts did adding the captcha stop?
I'm assuming the screen is capacitive in that car which would allow the fake finger to hover without even touching the screen. Less wear/friction that way.
No worry, I did not intend any criticism of 'dark matter'.
I understand it as a placeholder concept for 'something we know amazingly little about, except that it appears to be in conflict with the naive version of our observations'.
It reminds me of the very complex ways humans calculated the planetary motions, when they believed the sun revolved around the earth - once the proper relation was understood, a comparatively simpler model sufficed.
As I understand it, we have plenty of guesses at what dark matter could be, including quantum particles that emit no energy we (currently) can observe.
I believe the original theory of ether also sufficed in its time, until we had enough observations that contradicted that model.
I'm not saying dark matter is wrong in any way, but it appears to me, it's a place-holder concept for until knowing what is _really_ going on, like 'planet X'.
The Historic Russian Recipe That Turns Apples into Marshmallows
I'll admit I haven't put this through an extremely thorough vetting process, and I haven't proposed this in congress or anything yet :P

That said, I roughly assumed a private tutor cost of $50/hour, 5 hours a week, for 36 weeks per year. That alone would come out to $9000, hence the 'small group' suggestion- if each tutor is working with on average 3 students at once, it's a bit more tractable.

I'm not sure what assumption you think I'm making about current educator hours- the proposal is for a radically different usage.
There's no increased safety factor - there's no real location or distance clue such loud exhausts provide and in my experience they only stress and antagonize other drivers :-/

Curious where this idea came from. Some bike riders must also be drivers and it’s very obvious this isn’t true.

Even when emergency vehicles turn on their sirens I can’t tell where they are until I see them when I’m driving.
Sure, and I actually think the artistic antithesis is quite important. That said, even depictions of high school losers usually still depict an idealisation. Despite being outcast, the protagonist still has their tight knit friendship group, love interest, etc. If that doesn't materialize, there's a profound sense of loss.. grief even.

I enjoy the fellowship and the local connections that I have built as my work life is online, remote and global. If you think it may be something you’d enjoy you’ve got nothing to lose if you contact your local lodge to express interest, and contrary to popular belief it is a simple matter to disengage if it’s not for you after all.

> reorganizes educator hours into what is (as far as I know) a more effective structure,

My point is that you would need a lot more educator hours. There's no way to organize the current amount of hours in which you have "small groups" for 5 hours a day, unless small is 30 students per one teacher, in which case we're already doing that.

It's also not worth comparing tutor hourly wages to teachers as teachers have to deal with other things outside of teaching: calling parents, administrative tasks, behavioral issues, etc.

Also, it's worth mentioning that most of the things you've mentioned have been attempted at one point or another. There are a lot of constraints, interestingly money is not necessarily the main one depending on the issue.

I am Canadian and at least how it seemed to work here is that you have a designated school and then special provisions could make you eligible for a different school, like taking APs or being coded gifted, or having a learning disability might get you somewhere else. If you didn't have something like that, anecdotally people were stuck.
would love to see some communication from Google on this phenomenon...
My older daughter was 95% home schooled. She just graduated from university, top student. She did decide to take a few specific courses in high school when she was 16 but that was her choice, she never went full time to school. So you can totally do it, it can go great. Try and find a local community to be a part of.

I should note that technically she has always been a distant learner which is a distinction made locally (British Columbia, Canada). She was enrolled in basically what is a school for home learners which counts a school but just acts as a support mechanism for home learners, you can do whatever you want.

I have a younger daughter who was also mostly home schooled but is now attending high school full time by her choice. So she is taking a somewhat different path and she is a top student as well despite basically having never studied the previous curriculum. Our style of home schooling has been study whatever you're interested in, not following any specific curriculum.
Is there any reason why one sees so many black PCBs nowadays, instead of the 'normal' green?
Is it simply fashion? Or is there a new cheaper / better black material being used?

..

I definitely dont like the look of it.. Black chips on a black background.. makes the board harder to 'read' at a glance imo.

Edit:
Answered my own question..
https://www.quick-pcba.com/pcb-news/questions-about-black-pc...

It is simply fashion + this : Anti-plagiarism. Because the traces of black PCB are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Also seems there are some disadvantages of not using green.

I think you're right- it might be more comfortable than, say, a race bike, but when I think about what it feels like to have my arms in the air for a length of time (like working on an overhead light fixture or something), I can only imagine what it'd be like trying to ride with a set of those goofy bars for an hour.

Nope, they are pack animals which work for their own good in a strictly hierarchical pack, always trying to find opportunities to rise in status. Seen in human terms wolves are conservatives, not liberals or libertarians.

"Phabricator is a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) application."
Surprised to see this with a discussion of age stratification. It's so ingrained into American culture now that being friends with someone of a different age either carries pedophilic insinuation or assume the younger is above the AOC, some nearly related sexual fetish (MILF,DILF,etc). It's not like especially if someone is very young or very old they can be on the same level maturity wise but at least in my personal life friends who were much older than me have always been enriching probably because they can offer life advice I wouldn't otherwise have. The age stratification in general feels like a piece of a more general trend in America where people in general are closing off from others, in this case, their families in fear of essentially anyone who could be a sexual predator in their minds.

Kind of an aside but back on topic, high school honestly fits into this, a place your kids can go and be safe while you work, which is essentially how it functions.
Those are your values. Other people have values that they don't want to be tracked and profiles made on them as they move around on the internet.
Thanks! Unfortunately as you note recentish Pixels are not all that great, at least last time I checked. But perhaps at the next release I might change back (I really want to), if it’s suitable. But it is a real shame that other manufacturers make it very hard to replace the OS. The one other phone family I heard great things about is the One Plus, but they may also contain firmware that gets nulled.

Kinda? It was in South Florida, but it was a test-lab school kinda program.

My brother did an alternative where he could take some credits at the local CC, but it was still part of the standard high school experience. Seems a little closer to your experience in your other comment

There was definitely more camaraderie among the students in the program I did, mainly because of being all stuck together in 9th grade and how Everyone ended up taking classes at the uni (oftentimes together, since there's a lot of overlap in undergrad programs).
Too bad. Phabricator was a great tool for handling various aspects of a software project(SCM integration, task tracking, messaging, code reviews, etc). I used it on a couple of projects and it seemed to work very well.

While I partially agree, I'm not sure your assessment is helpful. There's a treasure trove hidden beyond the words, I'm not sure you're assessing the depth of his writings appropriately.

What would they say about it?

The most obvious things Google can do are to either limit the power of extensions and deprecate abusable APIs or to be much more stringent about human review of extensions, both of which they're doing and are justifiably unpopular.

In theory they could come up with some sort of "Any cooperation with third parties who pay you to add stuff to your extension gets your extension banned" rule, but it seems hard to write that rule in a way that distinguishes it from legitimate commercial activity.
Distance and local regulations can make this tricky. Most people are zoned to a school based on where they live, and alternatives can be inconveniently far. Main exceptions are magnet or charter programs, but these can be competitive.
