Or, maybe, we recognize a genius only after their idea has been validated. It's the same situation as with "prophets".

Take 1000 people and ask them for an open ended prophecy. If one of 1000 gets something perfectly right, we will focus on that person... and ignore the fact that the other 999 failed to predict anything. Then hold that one person as a great prophet.

Dreams are 10 a penny - they say.

Not to say that people who managed to properly articulate ideas and put in the "capstone" for a theory aren't important or hold a lot of knowledge/wisdom.

But I don't understand why would Aristotle, Newton or Einstein support the idea that "Lone Genius Myth" is false.
“FKK” is German for “nudist/naturist” and means Free Body Culture, in case anyone was wondering.

Most spas in Germany expect everyone to be naked, but don’t involve anything sexual at all. Large scale brothels use the term as a transparently disingenuous way of pretending the sex isn’t part of the business.

"Back in the day", some of us used to deliberately alternate pronouns for these sorts of hypothetical people. The idea was to help nudge people toward perceiving "gender-atypical" occupations/situations/etc. as normal: "The programmer opens her text editor...".

Since then the world has changed quite rapidly when it comes to norms around writing, pronouns, and gender, so perhaps "they" fills the same role for younger writers.

These are legitimate concerns. They may not end up being accurate, but they are legitimate.

There are a huge range of services available within the "theory" umbrella, some of which have 0% chance of involving medication. This may not be what you need, but it's a safe baseline. As another commentator stated ... don't think about theory, start doing it! In particular, talk therapy is a safe, often very effective, way of getting started.

Personally, it was instrumental to me to make some serious shifts in how I related to people and it took ~4 solid years of weekly sessions. A major component of this was having the space to take fears and anxiety seriously with the support of someone who didn't have (or really try to give) the answers, but was sufficiently anchored in life to provide a trusted second perspective.

Over time this let me identify some fears as wildly misplaced, some as valid but no longer applicable, and others as important enough to get a fire lit underneath me and do something about them. The resulting emotional freedom was life changing. Definitely I'm still a bit neurotic, but vastly more able to negotiate relationships, kindle curiosity into new hobbies (gardening and singing in particular, which I mostly never saw coming), and stay stable enough to grow in my career path.

Best of luck, friend!

A favorite quote from "Finding Bobby Fischer":

"He's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything."

There are things I'm really good at. I've met and "worked" with people that are the genius, and the savant, the 10X engineer/developer/tactician/athlete. The people I'd love to start a company with but couldn't because I'd be by far the weakest link. I can be a team captain, but I'd sit the bench on a team of their peers. My skill may be in recognizing what I excel at on my best day, is below their effort with a hangover, while playing hurt, while multitasking.
The problem is in my opinion that the price fulfills too many tasks at once, it is a measure of work and resources required for the production of goods, it is used as measure of value or utility a consumer assigns to the goods, it is used to decide how goods of limited supply are distributed, and there may be more things upon careful inspection. The problem is that those aspects do not align in a good way all the time and that there are no or no strong enough forces to fix this.
Interesting! Although I wonder if similar conditions existed with networks in the 80's - I don't know much about the period but I do know there was competition. I'd be curious to know how http succeeded in that environment, because all the factors you listed should have killed it as well.

Any recommendation of a bitcoin wallet for a Chromebook?

Somebody close to me put some money on bitcoins. I told him to get a wallet and move the coins to the wallet where he is in control of they keys. This person only has a Chromebook as a computer.

It should be noted that this is not a total ban on schools punishing students for speech off campus (an appeals court seemed to do that previously).

Rather this ruling leaves room for schools to take action in cases that might involve:

"serious or severe bullying or harassment targeting particular individuals; threats aimed at teachers or other students; the failure to follow rules concerning lessons, the writing of papers, the use of computers, or participation in other online school activities; and breaches of school security devices, including material maintained within school computers"

To me this seems like a pretty well rounded approach.
Most big corporations won't switch away from Jira and Atlassian in general anytime soon. If any changes would need to happen, it would take years.
No, famous people have the same freedom of speech as anyone else.

But the reasoning of this case indicates that a message sent by a high school student who has a million followers on twitter could be regulated by a school, even if that same message would not have been allowed to be regulated if sent by someone with 5 followers. This is because the large number of followers increases the likelihood of a "substantial disruption" (a term of art from prior cases).

An interesting question: what if someone with 5 followers sends a tweet, which is then picked up and RT'd by someone with a million followers? Should the school be able to regulate the original message (i.e., punish the student) simply because someone with a large following agreed with them? Presumably they couldn't punish the student before the RT, but what about after?

I realize how my initial comment might sound bitter as the topic is quite controversial, but I'm more curious than anything.

Seeing such "unusual" placement of pronouns a few times in a short period of time made me wonder what's the deal.
The web does have a stigma, but given how much money pours through the eCommerce industry it's a surprising outcome. I guess it's not that sexy, but it is where the money is. For a while everyone wanted to be an app developer, but that's a real crapshoot too. eCommerce is honest, stable work with relatively low risk for the developer. The domain is well defined, the technology is mature, the companies are already stable and doing business.
I miss how smooth those gradients look
But still, there isn't a lack of funding in the US, not when you compare it with every other developed country. Switzerland is not a cheaper country than the US, far from that. Still, being a teacher there is a highly respected profession, and a high school teacher can make 7-8000 per month (last time I spoke with a Swiss). They still pay less per student than the US.

If you ask me, I'm going to guess that building large football practice fields with nigh lighting, driving buses on all the hills twice a day, paying 200k to non-teachers, these things all add up.

I'd like to see their job titles, because if you don't do reviews you don't need to pay for senior engineers. Part of being a senior engineer is taking responsibility when broken code is released.

Also, I wouldn't like to be working for that company and then get something like a PagerDuty alert when you've no idea what has been released.

What are you talking about?

Lots of countries have their own social networking apps. Some have their own search engines.

Also, quite a few countries have strong computer science schools and developers.

Linux was developed in Finland. Raspberry PI was developed in England.

“Big tech” isn’t preventing them from developing anything. The only thing holding these countries back is their business culture.
Can you give an example of the test you would expect for a function that adds two numbers and returns the result?

If you can't test simple thing properly how do you expect to be able to test more complex systems.
And in Nebraska, can you find a strong correlation between funding levels and schools performance? I asked you for examples, can you find any?

Importantly, if in many states the school funding is equalized, and yet we still have wide difference in performance between good and bad schools, why would anyone expect that changing funding structure in Nebraska would change school outcomes in a significant way? If school funding levels in Michigan are similar across the board, with worse performing schools getting more, not less funding than better performing ones, clearly something else than funding is responsible for these disparities, isnt it? Lastly, as funding disparities have been equalized in many places in past decades, have we ever observed lower funded schools catch up to better funded ones?

The school funding differences are quite obviously not responsible for disparities in school outcomes, and it is beyond clear to me that the entire goal of this narrative is not to improve schools, but instead to funnel more tax funds to politically allied groups, using children as a cover.
If you already have a problem that contains instructions that are manipulating your disk in these sorts of ways then this is within some reason. But the usual hyper-concern about UB is that it'll take a program that otherwise does completely different things (imagine some CLI utility that just reads from stdin) and instead produce some maximally adversarial program that ruins your life. This ins't a real concern.
Another point is that software engineering (currently) has a situation where the higher the supply goes the higher the demand is. Once an organization starts digitizing their processes, there is a higher additional benefit to hiring another software engineer, because that second one has access to data that previously not accessible programmatically. Previously information that was kept in excel spreadsheets or on paper is now on servers.

You would think that it would eventually lead to some stopping point, but there are additional funnels and issues. For example, finding professors in university to teach software engineering is hard, because all of the people graduating from their universities in software engineering know they can make much more money in the industry than in education. Places like Stanford or MIT (who are already trying to be selective on purpose) can afford it, but community colleges or even high schools can't give them 1/3 of what they would make otherwise.
>First, I think the ability to DO THINGS is the great equalizer at this point. Being a do-er lifts you out of poverty (or at least out of poverty's worst resting state). Being a do-er expands your network. Being a do-er prolongs your life (people with jobs/daily activities tend to live longer healthier lives). The best part about this is that technology has made it easier to become a do-er. You don't need as much specialized education or tools, and trial and error is free.

This is just the same "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric that has been repeated for generations. The truth is that "trial and error" is not free because some people need to spend all their energy and resources treading water just to stop themselves from drowning. Having the safety net under you to catch you when you fail is not a universal truth in American society. This restricts certain classes of people from ever even attempting to "DO THINGS".
What's terrible about it?

It's for people that want to find issues to work on in random repos, I suppose.
The problem is once you connect Jira to Confluence to Team Calendars to Crowd to BitBucket Server you're very deep into the lock-in.

Nobody has either the time or the will to switch because, while all the software kind of sucks, it doesn't suck enough to the point where someone is going to stop working on their product and/or service to jettison Atlassian from their org.
> are there situations where more privileged/famous people have less freedom of speech (in a quasi-legal sense,

Not sure if this answers your question but some possible examples:

- corporate insiders have "freedom of speech" restricted in the sense that they can be punished for "manipulating stock price". E.g. Elon Musk tweets: https://www.google.com/search?q=ceo+tweets+accussed+manipula...

- book authors writing fiction getting sued for libel/slander so some writers creatively get around it with the "small penis" rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_penis_rule

The Nintendo Wii case is an interesting one, because instead of introducing a completely new architecture, both CPU (Broadway) and GPU (GX) come from well-known Gamecube hardware (Gekko and Flipper). So I presume the existing toolkit and game's codebase were easily ported. Thus, more time could be spent in improving the quality of the game.

This is where something like Scribble would be useful if it could let you write and draw in your own handwriting, and then fix things up along the way to look highly professional. E.g. if you draw a square quickly and title it Square, you’d end up with straight lines and the word Square neatly drawn on top of it. Even better if could be stylized with different drawing flavors.

While Scribble can do a little or it by correcting shapes if you are careful enough as you draw, it isn’t able to “autocorrect” hand drawn titles by replacing with rendered text.

nwsp has a report on harms involved with this model of prohibition

https://www.nswp.org/sites/nswp.org/files/4.%20Impacts%20of%...

occasionally there are news stories about particularly bad travesties of this kind of prohibition

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ireland-migr...

one thing to keep in mind is that many people cannot seek help from the police. people who are victims to forced labor are often in a complex legal situation created or exploited by the perpetrators. undocumented people, the most vulnerable victims of trafficking, risk being arrested and deported if they seek help. this may destroy lives, separate families, render people homeless, or deliver refugees back to their peril.

the only way to reduce this kind of exploitation is to legalize and proliferate good options that don't exploit people, and provide social support services to vulnerable people that do not involve law enforcement, so it becomes not easy or profitable to exploit people.

Yeah, the bit about the developer of Leaflet is accurate. One thing I'd expand on: the first iteration of web mapping was all built on raster maps, where the map was rendered in advance, server-side, and a simple client downloaded tiles to the client to build a slippy map. Leaflet was an open source library that did that task well.

The commercial players have mostly abandoned this approach, though, in favor of technologies that render on the client. They're more performant (tiles are smaller), and necessary if you want, say, to be able to rotate your map and still have all the labels be upright and not collide, or show/hide individual geographic features dynamically in response to user input, or apply perspective/tilt as you would for a heads-up display in a car, etc.

Mapbox GL was Mapbox building that (as already exists for Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.). At a very high level, it and Leaflet serve a similar purpose, but are technically very different from one another.

I believe that the issue is that the Earth's crust isn't uniformly thick, and that there are places where one could drill for miles without reaching magma/suitable heat sources, and other places (Costa Rica and Iceland come to mind) where the suitable heat sources are essentially on the surface.

Or, looking at it another way - oil drilling happens all over the globe and "hitting magma" isn't really a risk they're concerned about because it's so deep, that even the industry concerned with drilling too greedily and too deep doesn't intersect with it.

Auto-sortability should have been there in HTML's capacity as a document format. All the hooks & interactive elements necessary for custom sorting with little more than a definition for a given column's sort function and some toggles for the various features, should be there now.

That, not unlike a lot of college misspending, was an administration issue, not a teacher issue.

I noticed that Mapbox Studio has a way of creating & exporting styles (kinda like stylesheets but for maps). Do you know if those styles can be imported into a libre renderer like Maplibre, or if a similar tool/ecosystem exists for creating & sharing open-source map styles? Like if I wanted all roads to be rainbow-colored and rivers to be green.

In Mapbox Studio, the features all seem to be semantically tagged (e.g. this is a road of type X, a POI of type Y) and it makes styling a cinch. I know OSM has its own set of tags for features. Are these compatible (not sure if Mapbox Studio is using OSM data underneath)? Is there an established standard for this type of thing?

(ps TY again for answering my other question so thoroughly)
Although it's not strictly about age (kids who go to private/home school cannot have their speech regulated by the government in any special way), the fact is that the vast majority of kids in the US do go to public schools. These schools can regulate speech like employers can — but the difference is that no one is required to work for a specific employer for 12 years.

The Court was trying to find a balance that allows schools to prevent kids from going around spewing expletives all day long without consequence, while at the same time not treading too heavily on the legitimate free speech rights of students.

BTW, what do you mean when you say "nonviolent speech"? Are you referring to calls to violence, or the more recent concept (not recognized by the courts) that certain speech is itself violence?
