You know nothing about my teaching or what I do for my students. Did I say a good fraction of the students can’t learn algebra? I never said or implied anything of the sort. All I said is that some people can’t learn it. I gave an extreme example of such a person. I didn’t say anything regarding how large the set of people who can’t learn algebra is other than that this set is larger than the set of intellectually disabled people.

It appears you are letting your past personal experiences distort your judgments about me. It’s ok. I understand this. It’s natural but it makes it hard to have a discussion about whether or not it’s the case that everyone can learn algebra.

You made a statement that the way to pass everyone is to do my job. Clearly you have not taught much in a classroom with a wide variety of students. Consider the possibility that you simply don’t know anything about the craft of teaching other than your very limited experience of being a student and that as such you should be wary of making negative conclusions about me.
Why not let “semi” anonymous users — i.e. they’d be identified by a session cookie, but you wouldn’t know their email - use your database and store a bit of info there, but limit what they can do at the application level i.e. don’t let them complete more than 3 lessons for instance?
So sorry this won't get the upvotes it deserves.
And then you have old houses with all sorts of weird wiring and constraints and the contractor/electrician works around those and does things mostly to current code the best they can.
True, but wouldn't that apply to manual password entry as much?

Oh dear. This is quite a pleasant exchange. Thank you!

> And what is my "view" on science? I wrote like 3 or 4 lines of text.

That "science is not the pursuit of "truth"."

Now, you've got me wondering. Maybe we don't mean the same thing by "truth".

To me, in this context, it would be "the most accurate and comprehensive way of explaining and understanding how the world behaves". With a focus on different domains and behaviours depending on the area.

What do you mean by "truth", here?

> It's a story about males who aren't in college, so why would they have photos of males in school?

Here is an example of a article with a different narrative called: Why Boys Are Failing in an Educational System Stacked Against Them (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-boys-are-failing-in-a_b_8...)

Note that the focus of blame here is on the education system and then look at the image. The person in frame is the teacher, representing the Educational System, and the boy. The article mentions both college rates and high school dropout rates.

You are right that its generally not the author of the written text that chose the image, through the words I would describe if I was being a more technical correct about it would be authors of the article since an article rarely if ever now days has a single author. There is the author/s of the text, the editor, the proof readers, layout design, image selection, and each participated in creation the collaborated created work.
So you do still have a phone number, just not a SIM.
Broadly speaking, I would not rely too much on support from manufacturers but rather by the communities when the projects are stable enough. Manufacturers have the tendency to slow or halt support in a few years because it costs them money, or to push newer products, while communities support usually lasts much longer.

For example, the NanoPi NEO Core official images all still use a 4.14 kernel (2017-2018), while the ones at Armbian use the current mainline 5.10.

It is funny to say, but "Indy" is right, science more than anything else is the doctrine through which we find verifiable "facts", or maybe falsifyable? Hard to say, the philosophy of science is and endless pit for all these valiant enough to dive into it

But anyhow, Id agree with your call that Medics are not scientists on the specific usage of the term, they are medical professionals and applied science people, after their university education they can then pivot into more theoretical and research oriented sub-fields of medicine, which would indeed make them more "scienc-y" on my eyes
Look for Eglobal or Qotom on AliExpress. You can get these rebranded in the US on Amazon (I forget the name) with a warranty but at significant markup. Looking now it seems there are not so many Atom systems available, they are mostly Celerons and Core i3/i5 systems (which might be better, depending on what you want).

Here's an example Atom system from another seller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002902302326.html
> What we observe could be explained by many other more convincing factors: early learning activity, more care to the child's education, logical and clear answers to the kid's questions about the world around him, help with the homework, etc. With proper early learning activity for the baby, and amazing teachers for the early teachings, the kid has a strong foundation. From there, compound returns.

I don't see why that would be more convincing. As a hyperbole, if two completely different species (say a monkey and a primate) are exposed to the same learning environment, one would definitely end up fairing better than the other due to the differences in their brain.
The twin studies just show that, given most other factors for twins are likely to be the same.
I did tech degrees, but its pretty amazing going to other parts of the campus where there are 2 or 3 or more women for every man in the building. Its also weird to see lots of well educated female friends finding it really hard to find someone to settle down with. Yeah they should probably lower their standards but honestly deep down most guys dont want an over educated achiever wife.
Once again, using the private platform argument here: YouTube (owned by Google) reserves the right to terminate and de-platform anyone's account who has been in violation of YouTube's guidelines and terms of service.

You can criticise, protest, appeal, scream or throw a tantrum about it, etc but you should finally see that this can happen to anyone sitting on private platforms like YouTube.

YouTube will never change and it will only get worse.

I use the cloud version also. While Jira doesn't have any issues, editing Confluence pages can be a right pain. It is constantly "losing my connection" and prevents editing until it's happy again. There's no connection issues present, unless they're at Atlassian's end.

Watching the network tab, all I see is a requests to `bayeux-sync1` endpoint that take 5 seconds or longer. There's always one of these requests hung when it enters this unresponsive mode. I suspect this is some part of the syncing system for multiple editors. Which, if true, makes it particularly hilarious to me that the entire point of this system would be to sync multiple edits, yet it won't let me keep editing while it's waiting...
> value creation is rewarded with nothing but "respect" and "intrinsic satisfaction".

That is not a stance Chomsky holds nor the vast majority of socialist. How have you become so anti-socialist without even knowing what socialism is?
I believe this was kind of obvious 15-25 years ago [1] . That was in THE basic tutorial [2]. Those were simpler days. It was hard to build something big by yourself. Now it's easier, but now we are learning just API's to API's that provision our hardware and software :) So much current dev and ops knowledge will be useless in a few years, yet I could easily use a book from 1970' that was recommended here one day, to learn and use some basic AWK nowadays.

The research definitely is significant - definitely politically, if not scientifically (which I'd argue it is, any research that helps find the truth / predict the future / create a better model of the world is scientifically significant).

We're currently in the middle of several highly emotional political debates, which would easily be resolved by having better/more scientific data, particularly into the correlation of IQ and interests with race & sex. Sure, genetics don't determine an individual's life, but they do influence population averages, so if genetics explain/predict sex & race differences in careers and education, we could hopefully resolve those debates.

Another example of this is the association between violence and (1) computer games, and (2) sex/testosterone. The first one, albeit "intuitive", was debunked using science/statistics, and the second one most people just assume as "obviously" true (and noone claims sexism!) (although AFAIK it's scientifically debatable).

Again, genetics don't determine an individual, but they do influence the population & sub-groups.

Good luck. Many courts look down on the self represented, at least with unconscious bias. It seems many judges don't know the laws or procedures, so you can end up with some bizarre circumstances (like them thinking you called them prejudice when asking to dismiss with prejudice).
It's not as extrem for me, but I was told by HR that all female/non-white applicants had to move automatically to the phone screen step, regardless of the resume.
It's understandable for people to collectively react negatively to genocidal tropes getting pushed once more with great enthusiasm. This shit never goes away, and Nazis were not in the least theoretical: one could say what made Nazis Nazis was a game plan, one that's very specific.

Also, the keystone of progressive dogma is that there is VALUE in the wellbeing of all types of people, contrasting with conservative dogma that hierarchy is both inevitable and deeply moral: that there are and will always be underpeople, which must be kept in their place.

Progressive dogma is more akin to your basic Ratatouille trope: that the good idea, the new concept, the innovation can come from ANYWHERE. I think that's a defensible position, and it puts a completely different spin on the idea of not starving the underpeople to death or killing them outright.
Speeds slower then you can run are slow in both cases and no issue to control in both cases. It is not like it would be difficult to control speed on Rollerblade and you stop falling on them pretty fast. Falling on Rollerblades is quite rare after compete beginner stage.

As bonus point, a single pebble or crack won't throw you down on Rollerblades the way skateboard does.

> The skateboard hitting something else is not relevant to the point being discussed.

It is massively relevant to the control in speed issue. The risk of hurting someone or something else matters.

My favourite how different the "home budget" and a national economy works is if you want to save some money for a trip you just stop spending a bit and keep the extra money in a savings account until needed. If an economy did that then the economy will contract, reducing peoples spending power and income.

It's like you're saving for you holidays and your hourly rate goes down because of it.
The single vs multiple application centric thing is a point that's not made enough. Google is basically now a company all about spinning up new products, rather than just periodically adding a new piece of tech to an existing product. As a layperson, Kubernetes _appears_ to be about making it easier to spin up (and run) new products, so it feels more appropriate for Google-like org types.
Doing the rough math, Google employs about 80,000 engineers today. Generously assuming the other FAANGs employ as many engineers, you get about 400,000 engineers. There are about 26 million software engineers in the world.

So that's 1.5% of all engineers. And that's being very generous. The real number is surely below 1%. No surprise that the most desirable companies hire the top 1%.

(Happy for someone to correct my numbers and the resulting percentage - it's based on a few Google searches).

Unless my numbers are way off, it's safe to say that over 99% of engineers in the world are not working at a FAANG. I stand by my claim that we should not be using what happens at FAANGs as reliable anecdotal evidence of the interview experience for most candidates.
What did you use as cases? Or are they gathering dust in the open?
As someone who has experience with the educational systems of the middle east, I find it amusing how you are misinterpreting the situation.

It's extremely hard for women in these countries to get good careers in any field other than teaching or medicine especially since they are often forced to marry and leave the work force (they can't work without their husbands' permission and they almost always handle all child care). It is the norm for women to marry right after graduating from college and not doing so is seen as abnormal.

The combination of this results in women going to college and studying what they actually _like_ in their final years of "freedom." They choose STEM because they like it.

In the west, women are probably as inherently interested in STEM as in these other countries, but they also know that they need to get a job and they often choose career paths that would give them less pain due to harassment or discrimination.
Obesity among US adults has gone from 10-15% in the 60s to 40% now. It's extremely unlikely that genetics changed in 60 years, but environmentals did.

I understand that some have genetics that make it harder for them to keep off weight, either by metabolism, neural hunger stimuli or otherwise, but then we're still back to the fact that environmental changes made the biggest effect, not genetics. Why can't this be the case in your other examples too?

TL;DR: Yes, genetics matter. What's more relevant is, how much?

I think I've alrady explained why I don't find that adequate at all.

If we were to declare doing X as contrary to getting the job done, always describe X with demeaning or excessive terms, and give no limiting principal when X is actually important, we shouldn't get shocked when people read what we wrote, and decide X is at best unimportant, because that's what we really wrote whatever we intended.

Sure, we could later write a blog saying 'we never actually told you not to do X' and be technically correct, but in reality we gave bad guidance that drove people away from X even when X was actually important.

> foot through the door

Yea, but we got no problem getting to that door. Minorities might get pulled over and get a knee on the neck. Women might get assaulted on their way. Being a white dude, I'll get a taxi there, no problem. So if I have to try harder to get the position, pretty understandable, since I got the head start.

Not saying life is easy for anyone, saying it's so much easier being a white dude with a nice hair cut. You know I used to be so broke I had to "beg" for gas money at a gas station to get to my first day at a new job, first person I asked gave me a $20. Life. is. easier.
Shame on you, this is a "no true scotsman" argument.

"I don't want to argue X but proceeds to argue X" is a common yet despicable rhetoric trick.
Cue article in about ten to fifteen years saying women have a wealth gap because they waste a significant portion of a decade pursuing and not completing degrees that lead to productive careers.
No, that's obviously not it. Read the comments.

1.5 without eating? I think people would be debt free much faster.
The inflation has already happened, the price of daily commodities has not changed. You will still be able to buy a carton of milk at same prices.

However the price of assets like blue chip stock or a house has increased massively, we cannot really afford them anymore.

Today there is no way make back principal after even 30 years with returns/dividend on most blue chip stock or rent on a house you buy/invest in.

The returns are mostly based on the asset appreciating even more.

This wealth inflation has resulted in being priced out of housing or generate retirement savings etc and the wealth inequality has widened so much already.

Motor encoders drift. If the wheels ever slip, your encoders are now telling you the wrong position. In fact, that's how this system works: they read encoders to get a dead reckoning position, then correct it with the visual system to give full accuracy.

The advantage of a photo survey is that you can do it with the bot hardware (as in fact they do here; they dragged it around but I don't see why you couldn't do random-walk to cover an area), so setup cost should be relatively constrained. Computationally you're not exactly breaking the bank either - it's running at 4fps on an Nvidia Jetson TX1, which I suspect is overkill.
One of my distributed computing exercises back in the day was to add encryption to the stubs generated by Sun RPC tooling, the upper layers remained unmodified.
> So, is the an efficient way to leverage the speed improvement for other than swap -- like binary caching of executables of some form?

Sure. Like the site I mentioned in other comment, more or less "out tracks are faster". But this applies just to HDD drives. It's mostly useless for modern infrastructure, like SAN (even HDD based), all kinds of SSD and so on.

A curiosity - last time I saw a cool optimization of HDD usage was on "old gen" consoles, like ps4 and xbox one. Most games duplicated assets multiple times. Games took much more GB then needed, but the drive did not had to jump between many HDD tracks so much and it mattered for instance in big open world games.
It does matter in this sense. Students who are poor end up taking on debt for college and this debt is currently (mostly) unforgivable. If we had universal higher education this objection of mine goes by the wayside. But then a new objection rises up.
Yep. I've converted myself to a member of the native ethnicity because my government has a policy of preferentially buying from native-owned businesses but failed to define nativeness using any immutable or objective characteristics. I just have to remember my new ethnicity on any future forms that ask for it. It may also entitle me to enhanced healthcare services.
Geospatial Data from Scratch to Advanced
A full guide to Geospatial data and Satellite imagery.

Starting from how to download satellite images, what best Python packages to use, images processing, indices needed for applications like agriculture, improving the image's quality, and labeling, to a complete real-world application pipeline.

-Start by downloading raster/tif files, how to load shapefiles, and how to visualize satellite images in a friendly Guide to Folium and Rasterio (all code needed is included).
https://omdena.com/blog/geospatial-data-analytics/

- Then how to build a satellite imagery dataset with these 7 steps for a quality dataset. Learn satellite imagery sources, how to decide on the best source, different distribution, indices, and image quality needed.
https://omdena.com/blog/satellite-imagery-dataset/

- Now it's time to enhance the quality of the images, learn how and what tools to use by going through exploring different ways to enhancing satellite imagery to get the best quality images using Deep Learning.
https://omdena.com/blog/enhancing-satellite-imagery/

- Apply what you learned on a real-world case study, learn how to detect rooftops, and give understandable rooftops classification by following a complete pipeline of an ML problem from data pre-processing and labeling to applying different neural networks models to detect rooftops.
https://omdena.com/blog/rooftops-classification/
Well, a major problem is that the groups being studied are often either very poorly defined - things like 'black people' or 'Ashkenazi jews', which are entirely social categories, with little to no effort in most IQ studies to actually establish genetic group markers.

Other times, studies look at groups with much more proeminent socio-economic differences than genetic ones (countries, neighborhoods). Here the genetic factor is impossible to isolate from the other factors, making genetic claims dubious.
Based on the suggestions here, I went ahead and looked for myself, and I'm impressed by how fast and accurate TikTok figured out what I liked. After about two minutes, all it showed me was a combination tools, nature, animals, and woodworking.

I have a more niche hobbies like 3d printing and electronics which I'm sure it'll pick up within enough time, but, not a single video of what I assumed almost all videos were.

I'm happy to be wrong, and I get why TikTok is so popular.
This is due to platter geometry... the "start" of the logical volume is at the outer edge of the platters, and the end is at the inner edge.

If you divide the platter into concentric circles of equal width, you will notice there is more area available on the outer circles... for this reason the number of sectors per track are greater the further the track is from the centre of the platter. Yet the head will pass over the entire track in the same amount of time... i.e more data in the same time.

It makes sense that the logical volume would be arranged from the outer edge to take advantage of the speed as soon as possible.
So essentially the former -- you will only do this if everybody else is forced to.

Which in itself is selfish, and against the greater good.

The marginal utility of $1 for someone in poverty vastly outweighs the benefit you will get from it. So you don't need to wait for anything to pass a vote or become popular opinion to selflessly advance the greater good. I know of very few socialists who take advantage of this opportunity, unfortunately.
