I worked at a consulting place for ten years that was packed with a bunch of wise veterans who were mentors for me. They also paid poorly and had no benefits. A pivotal place for me in my career but I should have left a half decade earlier.

And I wanted to work there so badly that I jumped on their first offer. The classic.

Many European countries have public high schools with admission tests that cover math, general knowledge and language. Some are more competitive than others.

In some countries, the differentiation starts even much earlier than that, with 8 year long "gymnasiums".

Call me surprised that a foundation that wants to kill public schooling says public school teachers are overpaid.

Meanwhile my anecdotal rebuttal is I graduated with 6 folks who went into teaching. All 6 left to do other things and within 5 years were making more than they would have at the end of a 30 year teaching career.

FWIW you should never relay on Touch ID as a sole means of authorization:

>>> You must enter your passcode or password for additional security validation:

>>> when more than 48 hours have passed from the last time you unlocked your device;[1]

I mean sooner or later you'd run into issues unlocking your phone via Touch ID.

While you should definitely check the links from other commenters, and targeted resources like that are great, what has worked wonders for me is to just apply a general curiosity.

I’m 18 now and took the SAT two years ago - I scored well without the need to practice too much, but official practice is available completely for free on Khan Academy. You really don’t need to pay anything to improve on the SAT these days, and anyone arguing elsewise is misguided as to how the test actually works.

And also - I agree - I never really learned “grammar rules” or the details of writing. I just learned from listening, talking, and reading many many books in elementary and middle school. To prepare for a test by memorizing vocab seems inherently the wrong approach.

Dexamethasone effectively treats the late, inflammatory stage of COVID19 where most virus is dead but still physically present.

The promise of other licensed medications is partially from their antiviral properties which means they're only expected to be effective as early stage medications.

So that's the difference. Different application. In the same way you wouldn't use Dexamethasone as an interchangeable treatment with monoclonal antibodies or remdesivir, which are also early stage treatments.
Would someone just starting their career in 2021 in the Chicago area get defined-benefit pension plans? Also, does a new teacher get as much as a new software developer? The $80k/year numbers that I keep seeing thrown around often apply to teachers with 20 or more years of experience, but software developers that level of experience make a lot more.

In my state, older teachers get these, but newer teachers including some of my friends have been cut out of them and need to invest in a 401k like other job. Their wages are also much lower, around 35k/year to start with, peanuts when you consider that they take work home every night and weekend (correcting homework and lesson planning are mostly done on their own time).

And ultimately, the teacher doesn't get to choose what they teach either. Somebody else decides that and gives teachers a long list of things that the students have to know.
It's almost as if giving interviews is part of her job.

Well right, because they can kick out students who are disruptive and make them the public school systems problem. When the public school system becomes insolvent, what’s your solution for those students? They just don’t get an education? We hope someone else has a solution? Vouchers are a great way to permanently cement the cradle to prison cycle.

> The problem is the administration: The board that sets the standards and the parents and politicians who sit on those boards.

Most typically administration != board. An elected or appointed board will be made up of politicians, who can also class members of parents, teachers, community members, all of the aforementioned, etc.

Expecting a board to be entirely made up of people who have served in the organization's service delivery doesn't make sense. Would you expect a police board to be entirely made up of cops? There is an inherent conflict of interest.
Here in Ontario, we used to get ads for these from the power company regularly - at least here, they can modify your thermostat “by a few degrees” at peak load time, and you get a rebate on your bill.

(I don’t have one, and I’ve never really thought about it before, but I suppose you could get one, hook it up to 12V power but not to your air conditioner, then get the rebate on your bill and make the electricity company think they’re controlling your thermostat, when really they’re not doing anything… But you’d still need to let their IoT device on your network, and I assume it’s rubbish.)

I can't find many info on the QY700 sequencing workflow, but I doubt it's what usually known as a tracker. I see some screenshots that look like a horizontal piano roll-based view. Trackers don't use piano rolls but instead a vertical textual grid-based representation (so time goes from top to bottom instead of left to right).

I share in your bafflement. Charitably, perhaps they reason that parents will pick schools that are worse on average than public schools, but I suspect it is more of a “equality demands poor schooling regardless of class” with a side of “the state gets to determine the values your child is taught”.
It could be 10% of the volume of an almond is water exported per almond and you'd still get the same effects. This is what happens when you grow crops on thousands of square miles of land and export all of them. It adds up.

Python can work if they figure out the type system, right now it's just bolted on the core language. Technically it's true for js too but the js/ts integration feels pretty seamless. Js files get autocomplete from ts code, can embed ts in JSDocs and such.

Types in python is very much just documentation and isn't enforced at compile time.

Of course there are people who believe that types don't matter. I guess to them there isn't really any objective criteria to judge a language, just whatever syntax they happen to like
No, the problem on unix v4 (at least I think that's the version I'm talking about) was that the C compiler did not support passing structs - whether as arguments, return values, or any other expression. So, they didn't do that, because it wouldn't work, and it was less hassle to work around it than fix the compiler. The cargo cult is when people keep avoiding struct passing, even though that compiler deficiency has been fixed for decades now.

This has been used successfully in long-term care. The concept is called "Money Follows the Person."

Money Follows the Person (MFP) Rebalancing Demonstration is part of a comprehensive, coordinated strategy to assist U.S. states, in collaboration with stakeholders, to make widespread changes to their long-term care support systems. This initiative will assist states in their efforts to reduce their reliance on institutional care, while developing community-based long-term care opportunities, enabling the elderly and people with disabilities to fully participate in their communities.

> (never tell HR during your exit interview what you really think of them).

I'll offer a corollary: have already said everything you think before you quit. That way, there is nothing else to say during the exit interview anyway.

There are two reasons for saying what you think while you're still employed:

1. How will anything improve unless you voice your concerns? (Not saying they will when you do, just that they definitely won't when you don't.)

2. You are paid to think and then communicate your thoughts. If they only wanted your body, they could have bought a robot -- no, they're paying money for your brain too. Give it to them.
Long waits are more common than you think. Suppose you have 100 feet of 3/4" pipe and a 1 gpm showerhead, it takes 2.3 minutes for water to move from your water heater to the showerhead. And you not only have to move the water, but heat up the pipe itself, so it takes even longer. I'm living in such a home now. I'll be installing a recirculation loop as I remodel. And probably some point-of-use heaters.

Why should disruptive students be tolerated in public school classrooms? Does the disruptive student actually get an education simply by virtue of being in the classroom? He certainly drags his peers down, but how much is he actually educated in the process, and is that worth the harm he does his peers?

LADWP (LA power provider) has a similar opt-in program for Nest owners with the following conditions:

How the program works

* We’ll adjust your connected thermostat(s) when summer electricity demand is at its highest to help decrease stress on the grid

* Prior to an event, we may lower your thermostat(s) by a few degrees to help maintain comfort during the actual event

* if the temperature in your home feels uncomfortable, you can opt out of an event at any time by adjusting your thermostat.

* You’ll receive a $60 e-gift card at the end of the season for participating.

Signing up nets you another $125 gift card.

And considering that, someone who has only held long stints at previous jobs probably gets a red flag for not being desirable enough to more companies or just plain lack of curiosity.
Nope.

To clarify:

I am part of society and value my time. Having fuel pumped is a great deal. I benefit significantly. Others do as well. Apparently enough of us do.

Besides, basic labors really add up in our lives. They provide great value and the people who do them should earn enough to live a reasonable, dignified life same as anyone else.

I do not want to do basic labors, but will when required. There are more interesting uses of my time. Getting the use of that time is how we should value basic labors.

I value that highly.
This is the story people tell in business schools and economics departments, but there's more to it than that.

It's also a way to sterilize new issuance to employees, primarily senior management. In a very real sense, it can be a backdoor payment to management. Issue shares to management. Buy shares on the market. Net effect is cash to management.

If buybacks are funded by debt issuance, it's also a way to lever the company. Remember Apple and Carl Icahn? That particular episode looks a lot like greenmail. Apple bought back shares, mainly from Icahn, so that Icahn would go away. The buybacks weren't exclusively from Icahn, so it wasn't technically greenmail.
I think a better solution is funding students instead of systems. Give everyone the ability to opt out of broken systems, force all schools to compete for students.
Are Apple using C for this level of subsystem? I thought a lot was in Objective-C or is that just higher level stuff?
Ah the "well we're not responsible if the fuel tank catches fire, the problem is you crashed the car" defense.
This was true maybe 10ish years ago ago but with ASLR, PAC, stack cookies and other mitigations it is now much harder to turn even a legitimate vulnerability (like a trivial buffer overflow) into actual RCE.

The University of Michigan has a class where we came up with an idea for + designed a 2mm x 2mm analog/digital chip and a MEMS chip, and got to go into the school's nanofabrication facility to help manufacture the chips.

But that really only helps low pay was the reason for hopping. The comment that sparked this discussion talks about a bad environment etc. as a reason for hopping. Wads of cash won't help retain an employee that's obviously bad at judging whether they'll be a good fit at an employer.
> I don't think theres a school district in the country that will advance a kid with a 50% average to the next grade.

You’d be wrong to assume that. Here’s a kid that made it to 12th grade having only ever passed 4 classes. 0.13 GPA, and that actually put him in the top 50% of his class. Things are much, much worse than you think.

One of my greatest disappointments in life is that programmers don't give a shit about the actual experience of using a particular language and it's ecosystem, and instead go full sheep mode and follow the crowd for whatever reasons they think are valid.

I don't hate python but it's existence is the main brake slowing ruby down.

Second point: I do not feel it is necessary to maximize to that degree. We do not need to do that.

A little slack in the system is a very good thing. Think people with troubled past getting a start to build on. That is necessary, or we pay much harder in other ways.

Am I the only one who thinks “we should pay teachers more so they can afford a new profession because public education is horrible” is the wrong takeaway? Like, why not fix public education (e.g., more teacher autonomy) or at least support some voucher program so more teachers can be private school teachers?

Your absurdist attempts aside, the important thing to consider with a prophylactic medication is the therapeutic index.

Let’s take vaccines.
Covid itself has a risk of harm of around 1:100 for older age groups of requiring hospitalisation.
Risk of harm for vaccines is established at around 1:200,000.

Ivermectin? There is no good data on the therapeutic index however it is a toxic substance with a low therapeutic index and a narrow therapeutic window.

The sensible thing given the available data is to encourage vaccination. Barring that, masks and social distancing. And of course there are places where both there is no vaccine supply, and social distancing is economically in feasible. Is this a use case for ivermectin? Most data says no because establishing TI and TW and ensuring adequate safety of dosing is logistically about as difficult as maintaining social distancing.

The E-bike rental business will be significantly more profitable with these. Automated delivery to your location when you rent, automated return when you're done. No more paying staff to collect bikes and return them to high-traffic areas, and probably fewer bikes lost overall.
