Perhaps any voucher system could be calibrated to: A) allow some more students to go to private schools by providing a fraction of what would be spent on them, and B) increase remaining resources per-pupil in the public school system.

Of course, it still takes thought to make sure that the public schools improve in this scenario, because they will also be fighting an adverse-selection headwind of being stuck with students from lower classes and those that the private schools don't want. But if you can shrink classes and cater classes to similar ability levels, I'd think this would win out.

In my experience, teachers are strong communicators, highly self-organized, aware of organizations, able to work with others, and able to create and follow a plan. They have a demonstrated history of continued learning - and know a lot about how to learn. Teachers, when I've been lucky enough to hire them, have been excellent additions.
sad news for some people but now that it has been truly made independent of the browser JavaScript will never die, in the same way that every other programming language that has ever been used to build applications is still puttering around.

There are too many people with worthwhile JavaScript skills to service, too many companies who have things built in it and employees with those skills who will keep building things in it.

Maybe in 2050 there will be Cobol style posts on HN about JavaScript.

I mean there's nothing you're contributing by saying I'm the first person you've come across that's complained about fees. So what?

You're just antagonizing to antagonize. But my business sense is fine, thanks. I'm pretty sure retiring in my 20s allows me to say that.

Maybe you know something I don't, though, having accumulated this knowledge over many years; I'm open to learning new things if you're open to contributing something useful.

Maybe if you wanted to make your point you could at least say something about effective tax rates in the most populous metro areas, or state-by-state annual fees or corporate requirements, or literally anything.

But my guess is you don't have any of that information to provide. In business there aren't "a million things you could do with greater ROI."

You form a business, you sell goods and services, and you focus on the maybe 5 or so things that are relevant to your industry. All of this other imprecise talk is just online blabber.

This is orthogonal to what he is discussing; he's just discussing the relative pay picture (in-profession vs. out of profession) for one who holds such a degree.

This is -further- orthogonal and off-topic, because we're not talking about the relative merits of graduate education for teachers compared to bachelors degrees.

Almonds take around 3 feet of water to grow commercially. The region they're gown in in California gets around 12 inches of annual rainfall. If the shortfall is covered with groundwater, you have a point, but a lot of it is also diverted snow melt (which, to complicate matters, can recharge groundwater). It really depends on where they're being grown, even within the central valley.

I love the solution you propose. There are certainly other ways in which the whole school system can improve in this and other directions. The most-direct (and sensible!) reform I've come across is: distribute education funding equally, without tying school income to local taxes paid. You end up with richer schools receiving a lot of funding, while the poorer neighborhoods (already disadvantaged as it is) receiving unacceptably low funding - exacerbating the inequities currently engrained in the current system.

> You can't cool the air further without also further dehumidifying it. If you cool the air to, say, 60 F, the dewpoint can't be any higher than 60 F. There's no way to cool the air to 60 F but have a dewpoint of 68 F. That's physically impossible.

The other way around. It's not that the dew point will be above the temperature, it's that it could go below the temperature.

So as you suggested, let's have one AC that outputs air at 68F, and compare it to another that outputs at 50F.

So clearly we have to be cooling the room to a temperature no lower than 68F.

If we look at the initial cooling of hot wet air, there's not much difference. The 50F unit will cool a smaller volume of air and cool it to a lower temperature, and the resulting dew point is about the same for either unit.

But as heat keeps leaking in through the walls and windows, the 68F unit will never get the dew point below 68F. While the 50F unit will keep outputting air with a dew point of 50F.

If you had an airtight room with heat constantly leaking in, eventually the 50F unit would cycle all the air through it, and the dew point of the room would reach 50F, even though the temperature of the room might never go below 70.

All rooms leak some air, so you'll never get quite that far, but the 50F unit will get the dew point a lot lower than the 68F unit.

> The savings comes from running continuously at a lower level of both cooling and dehumidification, one that is just sufficient to maintain comfort, instead of switching between full on (which cools more than needed to maintain comfort--it has to, to compensate for the period when the system is going to be off again) and full off (which doesn't cool or dehumidify at all, so the air warms up and gets more humid again until it reaches the point where the system has to switch back to full on). The switching on and off is less efficient for a given level of comfort.

There's an efficiency penalty to letting the temperature wander. But if it only wanders a couple degrees, it's not a huge penalty.

On the other side, there's a penalty for keeping the fans and compressor going all the time, even if they're running at a lower power.

Neither one of those factors is enormous.

But if you could leave the room at 73 with a low dew point, instead of 70 with a high dew point, that could eventually save you a lot of energy.

So that's why I'd want to see real-life efficiency numbers and comfort ratings. It could go either way on base principles.

I made the transition from a career in industry to education in the past couple of years. It's been an interesting path.

I'm definitely a subject matter expert. And I'm able to get pretty deep content into middle school and high school classrooms. And working with smaller subgroups of students is a lot like mentoring junior engineers.

But man, dealing with a lot of kids in the room is a challenge-- keeping the lower third of students motivated; modulating strictness up and down so that you can have exuberance but not disruption; picking up on the subtle signs that there is a problem from outside spilling over into the classroom while multitasking and doing 3 other things. And... just coping when there's an entire class period that felt like a waste and you don't know why.

It is -hard-, and I'm dealing with an unusually easy teaching environment (classes of ~18-20 of well-behaved and academically advanced private school kids). I'm also not a core teacher and so I have the benefit of leaning on other professionals to do the heavy lifting in these areas. I still have hope I'll get good at it (this past year was a difficult one for me to self-assess my performance).

I do think that being an expert/having passion for what you teach is a bonus: if you have students that are already inclined to be engaged, that spark will help a little in getting and keeping their attention. But it is not the most important thing day to day.

Actually, my best performance lately was when I was a long-term sub in science classes teaching subject matter that is not my core competence. I could geek out and learn deeper stuff than I knew about volcanoes and share my surprise with the students, and that felt really good for engagement.

Fees are fees. And these ones don't make any sense.

On the contrary, it's hard to think of more salient reason than that.
For some types of system, searching through all possible rules for the behaviour that you want isn't out of the question, and can sometimes lead to finding a solution faster than wandering around in parameter-space (either along a directed path or randomly).

A recommendation of this 'search-based' approach (where it can be used) instead of always constructing solutions is one of the 'new' aspects of Wolfram's "New Kind of Science".

I believe that this ability to tolerate searching for a solution is a component of what can allow neural-nets to find solutions better than programmers would ever write. A NN will happily explore nonsensical or illogical bits of parameter-space where there are still some good solutions to be found in places where the 'rational' or 'logical' human mind wouldn't (or even couldn't?) go.

Most homeschooling parents do a variety of things, including teaching in groups with other homeschoolers, and hiring tutors for specialized subjects etc.

If the goal of the ban on private schools as suggested is to force the rich and powerful to send their children to public schools so that they are incentivized to make them better, then you would need to also ban homeschooling because otherwise those people could still school their children privately in cooperation with other rich and powerful parents via the homeschooling model.
