I had a highschool calculus teacher who was very explicit about designing their tests on an A/B/C system.

The idea was that the A section was the basic plug-n-chug versions of the problem that everyone should be able to get if you were even half paying attention in class; the B section is stuff that requires a bit more reasoning and analysis, and may have a pitfall or two, but they'll be things that were at least mentioned; and the C section is effectively extra credit— a problem where you needed to have a deeper understanding in order to figure out something novel about it, or like you needed to re-derive something from first principles in a way that was slightly different from what was shown in class, that kind of thing.

And the sections weren't equally weighted; I think it was usually like 50/30/20, or even 60/30/10.

Some people hated this, but I really liked how explicit it was. There was no mystery meat— the whole evaluation scheme was very open about its design and intent.
He's basically saying he doesn't like it anymore and it's not fun. Not that it's not active or making money.
That’s not necessarily true. Some places have been ravaged by desertification and so actively planting trees can facilitate a forest where otherwise there wouldn’t be any.

Second, you can choose trees which are particularly good at sequestering carbon for long periods.

Humans are already animals that act as “ecosystem engineers” (like beavers or trees). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_engineer

We just haven’t historically been very good at it (ie we’ve often historically reduced ecological diversity instead of facilitating it). I think we can do much better, and there are many examples of humans who HAVE done a great job at it (for instance, the man who planted a forest on an island in India). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HkZDSqyE1do

Do you think the planet would be better off if everything else was the same but his parents had decided not to have him? So this is why I think we can’t apply a broad average of human footprint to whether someone should decide to have kids or not. Instilling values, such as being a net-positive to the environment and the value of choosing to live a net-carbon-negative life (and support continued climate action), can be more important than just the marginal impact of not having kids at all.

Also, negative-sum thinking ends up in a pretty dark place pretty fast if brought to its logical conclusion.

And it seems pretty obvious what the long term result would be if all climate-conscious people had no kids but folks who don’t give a crap about climate action raise lots of children.

This is also very relevant to Hacker News. Many users don't speak some form of English as their native language. Simple misunderstandings are a frequent source of long, non-productive flame wars.
If every single actor is following this strategy then no actor is earning money. Rather than a race to the bottom it is a race into nothing.

Emphasis on allows. If nobody is consuming the output of your investments then those investments won't happen. We expect people to provide their time to society through work. Consumerism is just the realization that for every person that provides their time, there must be someone who wants that time. The answer is to create meaningful ways for humans to spend/provide time for money.
All stuff on Stack Overflow has a CC BY-SA license though, so the license burden is quite minor. Meanwhile most stuff on GitHub is (most likely still) unlicensed, meaning that it cannot be used in any way.
I want to call out the Introduction to Algorithms [0] course which was the gateway drug into the online courses for me back in ~2009. I learnt CS from this and other open courses from MIT and Berkeley and would forever be grateful for these resources.

It’s pretty easy to make it hard to move your crypto while you maintain access to all keys involved. It becomes even easier if you use a blockchain that supports smart contracts.

Something as simple as using a contract to delay any coin transfers with one or more keys that can stop the transfer is trivial to implement.

Even simple multi-sig is pretty good assuming you don’t rely on two keys both stored in your phone.

For everyday payments, you can use a mobile phone wallet without these protections and worst case you lose a small amount of money if someone takes your phone. It’s just like getting your real wallet stolen and losing cash.
I got roofied once in a bar and the next thing I knew I was going back to my place in the back of a car. They gave me weed, too. You are completely out of it, you will say whatever they ask you. This is how truth serum works, at its core.

So, the girl(s) called Chase posing as my wife and transferred $500 out of my account. A nice chunk of cash, but not too greedy so I could let it go and not pursue it any further. You swallow the embarrassment and move on with your life.
That's a really fascinating labor of love, that will hopefully turn into a valuable resource.

I feel like this is so much more difficult now, and I wonder how much "culture" will be lost to future generations because this type of data hoarding is much more difficult.
From my experience... it varies widely. The university will have a standard, the department will, the professor will.

I had experience taking undergraduate courses at 4 institutions in the USA and of course many departments.

I had some professors that expected the grades to fall like grade school did with 90-100 % being a high percentage. Others gave 4-6 difficult multi part problems and graded on a transparent curve. Others gave difficult problems and were not transparent about the grading scheme.
That seems to entirely ignore that Copilot has 'generated' GPL protected code verbatim, even down to the comments. There appears to be exact copies of certain code segments within their model, and that is being exactly copied out. Doesn't that fall under copyright protection?
I think many would agree that reputation/"brand" doesn't pay the bills, and just like any social media platform, only the .01% of creators/employees actually benefit from having a "brand", while most spend a ton of time trying to create one without much luck. In the same way, I'd assume that it takes a lot to actually be a name which is associated with a "brand" in a tech field - many, I'm sure, have failed and wasted a lot of energy which could have been put towards living life outside of work
I received my MBA in IT from WGU and couldn't be happier. It cost me a total of $8,000 and was one of the best things I have ever done for my education. This MBA cost me a fraction of what my BS did.
Rust was considered for Zircon. The only reason it wasn't chosen was that at the time Rust wasn't yet sufficiently mature for embedded. And it really wasn't.

In the meantime, Google makes extensive use of Rust in new components of both Fuchsia and Android and even rewrites some legacy components where it makes sense.
you think those are the majority of laptop buyers?
ELI5: Captum – Easily Interpret AI Models
Depends on country, university and professor. In Germany, the general rule is that grading on a curve isn't allowed or at least strongly discouraged. There was a short while when such a system was acceptable, called ECTS grades (not to be confused with ECTS credits), but that was done away with in a year or so. Currently, grades are based on the lecture contents and the expectation of the lecturer for the progress a student should make. Lecturers are relatively free to do whatever they please within those bounds. If a test ends in everybody failing, tough luck, maybe next time. If that unfortunate event does repeat too often, the dean might get involved, but can't do a lot more than talk to the lecturer.
I completely agree with you, the caveat though is that I asked support if, by just converting to a paying subscriber (so foregoing the free trial), the 1 month spam filtering can be lifted.

They told me that even if I pay, many "scammers" also pay, so being a paying customer is not a reliable indicator of not being a spammer.

So, once again, Fastmail customers should be informed that once subscribed, for the first month, their emails will be severely delayed or not delivered at all due to aggressive anti-spam filtering.

This _must_ be made known as I've never heard of any other email service that is customer-friendly to have such a long "gestation" period. (For instance, subscribing to Gmail or Protonmail I have no problems sending email immediately, even as a free user)
What happens if you get hacked? You lose all your money.

The question isn’t what happens, but rather how likely it is to happen. I wouldn’t trust any of the current exchanges with my life’s savings, but up to around 20% is a different story.
“Shipping beats perfection” explained
I imagine you also send your best not worst engineers for a bid or demo. For the rest, as I said it's just far more extensive in IT than in other fields. There will be exceptions.

And being able to scale on demand is a big part of providing a service. Otherwise you can't absorb any unexpected spikes in demand from already existing projects, or have to pass on lucrative opportunities, or you pay to keep a buffer of people on payroll.
Are the permits and rejections publicly available? From the article seems that Tesla didn't intend to use the tanks without permission.
My AP calculus teacher allowed us to use calculators on our tests. Why? Because he knew exactly how to design questions such that the calculator would switch from exact to approximation mode. So you could enter any problem on the test into the calculator, and all it would spit out is a useless answer with as many decimal places as it could handle. Of course the calculator worked fine on every homework question. But you better have still learned the material if you wanted to make it through the test.

Which is why employers see undergrad has a filter and not adding value. They either don’t hire or even interview without experience or they look to your internships and accomplishments as a more significant qualification
I really wish they had US support. They'll work if you can get one, but they don't ship to the US so you have to use a third party re-shipper (both for the phone and for replacement parts). Even then their frequency bands aren't optimized for the US so you're likely to have reception issues.
No idea if it will help, but I've found regularly adding a capful of bleach to my laundry of polyester shirts eliminates all odors for me.
I agree that it was petty of her but unless if anybody else steps up in her place in a substantial way and fight the major publishers, I think we should be a little lenient on her idiosyncracities. I don't know what the real story behind the block is but something tells me there was a lot of other baggage on her mind prior to hearing about the wasp.
Makes sense to me. I keep maybe $1200 USD in the account tied to my debit card, and anything above that in an account w/o a debit card.
The weakness it has it that it needs a clear sky to work. For overcast muggy days or even a high coverage of cumulus clouds, performance will be absent or degraded.

It works at night, however, and for best results you could maximize insulation and "thermal mass" inside the building and minimize radiative transport through the windows.

The best thing about air conditioning, however, is de-humidification and that is a matter of cooling the air more than you have to and then re-heating it. I live in an 1850 farmhouse and the reason I want a ground source heat pump is that the humidity destroys books and other printed matter. I have inkjet prints curling off the walls and detailed logs of how 3M's best products only work 90% of the time in my applications.
Best Programming languages today

F# - ML + .Net

Clojure - Java + jvm + lisp

Rust/OCaml - System Programming

Both F# and Clojure give you access to probably the two biggest ecosystems, but they are obviously put them at opposite ends of the programming paradigms spectrum, but this makes learning both less redundant

Rust and OCaml, are probably what you should use if you want a compiled system language

Honorable mention PureScript, because haskell + Javascript (but F# will take you close and is more practical)
I disagree on this "not anymore" part also. For example the Discord app is cool and hip or whatever but it feels totally off and the UX is totally foreign on Windows. It's one reason other than the fact it's not free like mumble that I've never really become an active user on the platform. Just feels awkward to use kind of like Steam does.
Intel wasn’t a monopoly
A little aggravation? lol not in my experience
I’ve been loving F# for all those same reasons. I started out with OCaml, but the lack of a wide ecosystem of readymade stuff really made it hard to pick it up for projects. The dotnet world is probably second only to the JVM world in terms of ecosystem, and Giraffe is a lovely micro framework that beats most frameworks I found for Scala.

I remember hearing this from Sol Khan, who must be a fan of Plato because he went on to form an academy.

I’d like to experience it. The model didn’t get started until after I finished college. I’ve done online classes, but they miss the in-person dialog component.

In general the problem is that administration wants to see education “scale” and the flipper classroom is tied to people. You have to get everyone together at the same time and same place (in-person is best, but I guess Zoom might substitute). This puts a ceiling on scaling.
You want to be snarky, it is your choice. But from my experience this is just going to show you don't understand how to behave befitting the situation.

When you are meeting your family do you tell them to their face that you don't want to sit with them because you have something more interesting to do, or do you play the game and try to extricate yourself gracefully?

It is the same thing, really. Showing you know how to behave.

Both sides might be playing a game, but the fact you are playing the game shows you have comprehension and you are a player.

If you show you are willing to make problems on such a simple question you may leave impression you are unreasonable and nobody wants to work with unreasonable divas, even if they are highly capable.
where all AMC investors will become fantastically rich

On paper. But, really, what's the endgame if you never cash out? Sooner or later the shorts will leave AMC and everyone will be long. Mission accomplished.

But, eventually, someone will need to liquidate. Then what?
Are you saying ProtonMail has a US back door?
The problem is that one senior person can’t oversee tons of unmotivated juniors on multiple projects. It’s not that the senior people aren’t typing all of the code, it’s that you’ll never see them again and your “architect”, “tech leads”, etc. will be a couple of people who have a couple years of excreting Java code into legacy apps for a bank.

When the project falters, attempting to parachute the actual skilled people back in will fail because of both Brooks’ law and simply their mandate being to stabilize things to the point where they can claim minimal satisfaction of the contract requirements, which will likely not include fixing the deep architectural problems.
Time-series data: Why to use a relational database instead of NoSQL
...yes? If your secrets are worth an NDA, they're worth a little opsec.
I've moved from watching movies and TV shows without end to watching limited series/anthology shows. The format hits the sweet spot between watching a self contained story and the anticipation of a TV show. I don't think the format gets the love it deserves, but networks like Disney+ (most of Marvel's recent outings), Netflix (Godless, Russian Doll, Alias Grace, The Queen's Gambit, The Haunting of Hill House), and HBO (The Night Of, Watchmen, The Outsider) certainly understand the benefits and have been amassing a quiet army of content.
Unlike the US? From what I've experienced and seen the US is another bureaucratic nightmare, it's just more localised in the states/counties but regulations vary quite a lot, creating its own set of nightmares.

Europe varies as lot as well, I wouldn't say that here in Sweden it's a bureaucratic nightmare by any stretch, it's quite straightforward in most cases.
This is all too complicated for all but a handful of people.

Crypto just doesn't work. It's far more harm than good. Every time a weakness is unveiled, we get hand waving from those most invested.

It's bad for the environment, bad for crime, bad for laymen, undemocratic (vote with money), no knobs to adjust monetary/fiscal policy, and it poses as an alternative to government institutions that serve society with things like roads and health care.

Why are we propping up the crypto whales to enable this trash fire?
Chonyi Africana Kids Dancing Afro Beat (Official Dance Video)
That's not the way the US Bill of Rights frames it. It says that purely by existing people have certain rights, and society chooses which ones should be protected and which should be surrendered. By having means of communication, I naturally have the right to free speech. The government can only limit that freedom.

It's supposed to be a way of showing that the government is subservient to the citizens, as it does not have the power to grant citizens rights. I doubt it's effective though, as most people seem to think the Constitution grants rights.
Yes, but it's a risk I'm willing to accept because I think the odds of my own setup getting hacked or compromised is much higher.

> I had a few professors who made exams ridiculously hard with strict time limits, just because they expected people to cheat. So the exams were designed in a way they cheating was the only way to get through it, which just encouraged more people to cheat.

That’s such a strange response to that expectation. For the class I teach, I made my exams open book, open notes, open internet and gave them a extended time to work on the exam. If they’re gonna cheat, they’re gonna cheat. Don’t fight the tide. But the questions I asked where analysis/synthesis questions that couldn’t simply be looked up, and student performance was on a bell curve with a 80 average (in line with previous years). I think a lot of professors need to embrace the situation and adapt rather than forcing a police state on students during exam times.
The business of running movie theatres is what he is talking about and it's certainly changing.

In Denmark the movies Godzilla vs. Kong, Nomadland and Black Widow will not be shown in major cinemas.

The reason is that Warner Bros. and Disney (Marvel) have either shortened the exclusivity period (Warner Bros) or set the streaming premiere at the same day the movie airs in cinemas (Disney).

The core of the issue is that the cinemas have to pay the same amount although the terms are clearly worse.

I can't help but think that the loss in sales of merchandise will take a hit, but i could be wrong and things will continue as they are now.
Are you sure its really the exception? I had an S6 that still functions really well with minimal battery degredation. I used it really heavily until I upgraded to an S9+, which is still going strong with pretty heavy use.

I've used apple products too, but it sounds to me like the differences in quality are deeply exaggerated. I happen to like android mostly because I have access to the filesystem and like to tinker with settings (and I like using my headphone jack).

As far as aftermarket value, I'm not convinced the used marked is completely rational... Or rather, there are plenty of confounding factors that make that a poor argument for which phone is built better.
I've been working in the payments industry on and off for 15 years. I am yet to work with a payment method that does not support reversal (except for physical cash). As a last resort victims can file chargeback with their issuers or police.

To begin with there are several layers of protection built in at acquirer, issuer, network and so on. Almost at each step there's an option to reverse the payment (or issue a compensating transaction) and finally the chargeback and legal recourse.

Bear in mind that each of the business process of the current payment systems exists for a reason. They are the result of decades of learnings and trial and error.

Are there plans to build equivalent features on Blockchain for crypto currencies? Or do their users have to go through the same painful failures?
