I'm sure you don't, but we're mere mortals with biases and blind spots, one person's reasonable views are extreme to another. This is also anecdotal, but every nutcase I've ever met felt their views were reasonable and obvious. Maybe we're all nutcases, even.
Why don’t we take the $10k to $20k we pay per student in America annually to educate them, and let the parent allocate those funds where they want? Learning pods cost less than that for parents, but sadly only the rich can afford it (like most things private).

Basically keep the public funding but give allocation control to parents. Then everyone can have the same choice as rich people.

It's probably not the best use of word bytes to back and forth over somewhere / everywhere distinctions.

Some people are of the opinion that there's a master plan to indoctrinate children in kindergarten, and see every example across the country as proof.

Other people deny it's being taught anywhere.

The truth is: school boards are local. Somewhere, they're doing crazy shit. Most places, they aren't.
With the "open in app" banner on top, the "never miss a post" banner in the middle and the cookie banner at the bottom, I can see exactly 4 lines of text on my smartphone screen.

I'm not sure that's true - for many (most?) people with low-grade prostate cancer, it's not going to end up being what they die of and can just be ignored. There's debate about whether or not PSA screening is leading to too much unnecessary cancer treatment.

So it's possible that doing nothing at all is as good as more screening and early treatment.

A lot of things, like slavery and public beheadings were done 400 years ago, which aren't done today. Any other arguments you can provide to make your case rather than revisionist history?

You asked a question, I tried to provide an answer to it which is reflective of the common viewpoint.
This is a challenging balance to strike. I used to work with someone who I considered "that guy", but there was no denying that the code ended up better for it, even if it would have been basically fine otherwise. Especially over the long term, those little things can add up.

On the reviewer side, I have sometimes been in the situation where I end up letting something slide because I didn't want to be "that guy". Then I end up reading the code later and needing to fix it.
Eh, it doesn’t matter how low the price is for the Azure Kinect if you can’t buy them at the price.

Hi, original Jekyll "core team" (if it could be called that) member here - just wanted to say thanks for writing this up, and I had no idea about the current status of the project or that one of the maintainers recently passed away.

For anyone interested in raising money soon, but not immediately, the best thing you can do is start an weekly update email.

Start sending thing to all the people you interview for advice, supporters you know in the same space, and peers/coworkers. If you keep a regular email showing your progress, even though you may not have traction, potential investors will see the pace at which you are developing/iterating, and have a reference point to be able to cut a check.

I started this 3 months before I planned on raising any money, and it allowed for people who were on the email to confidently make recommendations on my behalf to investors they knew, and also made our company top of mind.

I have continued this for almost a year now, and its led to customer development opportunities, investment inbound, and a steam of good relevant advice.

I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, that clause was meant to apply to the German legal requirements.

Homeschooling a child pretty much involves taking the state to court for your right to do so.

German Wikipedia estimates the number of such cases (I assume before Covid) to below 3000 (Germany has 83m inhabitants).

> unfortunately most sites that purport to allowing 2FA can't do it well because they either don't allow configuring multiple tokens or if they do, they don't allow really lock your account so it is not possible to log in the next time without the token.

This is a great point. AFAIK, Google is the only service which allows you to set mandatory U2F login requirements. Does any other service offer this functionality?
One thing I’ll say is that in America’s somewhat terrible urban schools, the parents are simply less involved in the child’s schooling. There can be any number of reasons, language, shitty job that you have to go to for 10 hours a day, they themselves might lack education to educate, money, etc.

I suspect home schooling will be more of a thing amongst the well off. The institution of schooling, like many of our other institutions, isn’t a wild success. It’s okay, but certainly you can do better if you desire to.

He said in his first tweet that he wants to have a "serious conversation", then goes on to list three grievances: that Amazon has a lot of involvement in Rust leadership, that Amazon "marginalized the core team" (but no details) and that Amazon "has done some other dirty shit" (but no details).

That's two out of three grievances that have no substance whatsoever. You cannot have a serious conversation about these things if there is not more detail. I'm not distracting from anything, I'm asking Steve to either step up and discuss these things as he stated he wants to do, or he needs to stop distracting from serious issues with these snarky one-liners. If you include something like that in a tweet, you should expect to follow up on it.

It's ridiculous and disingenuous to tweet something like that and then say "well I don't actually want to talk about that and it's your fault for not reading my mind to know that".

> You can just use Greek words in Latin !

Haha, yes and no. This isn't really a question of the inherent grammatical qualities of languages in this case (though I don't see why certain languages can't perhaps be more suitable for certain kinds of discourse over others, but I digress). There's a received bit of wisdom in poetry that literature, strictly speaking, cannot be translated. This expression gets to the bottom of something very important which is that language is inseparable from culture and tradition (which you gesture toward in your reply).

So a word like "logos" simply has no equivalent in Latin and simply using the word "logos" or claiming that "verbum" is now the same as "logos" would require that either the receiver already know the Greek, or that Latin had become sophisticated enough to absorb the Greek meaning and all that it presupposes.

Every translation of John 1:1 seems equally as anemic as "verbum" or deficient in some way: word, Wort, słowo, Слово, parole, Verbo, 道. You need a sophisticated philosophical culture to support a word like "logos". Otherwise, there's nothing in your language to translate into.

This article asserts none of its top level claims, it merely brings up a series of questions they feel are important for the discussion. There are below the fold assertions that are outright false, such as "Vaccine certificates render the individual in an impossible place of having to choose vaccination or loss of employment and exclusion from society." Vaccines are free. Vaccination is hundreds of times safer than infection, and infection has a much higher societal cost. If you can't afford the vaccine, you definitely can't afford the illness. Given this structure, this article looks suspiciously like JAQing off.

Assuming that the article is in good conscience, I'm just going to give a quick answer on each of the points.

1. What is the intent and what are the end points? Vaccine certificates impose a significant burden on the population.

Yes, vaccine certificates would impose a burden. However, unchecked covid19 imposes a huge societal burden as well. Given current knowledge, covid19 has a much higher cost than a vaccine certificate. A 1-2 year expiration on a vaccine certificate law would be one way these concerns could be balanced.

2. Can we stop transmission with vaccine certificates?

False dichotomy. We don't need to completely stop covid19. We just need to lower the societal cost. Vaccines are very good at doing that, and this article doesn't really have a strong argument as to why vaccine certificates wouldn't at push vaccination numbers higher.

3. What are the logistical considerations of such a program?

Similar any similar nation wide legal system. Also, I can't help feel that this article uses "Think of the homeless!" the way that some people like to use "Think of the children!" The homeless aren't the only members of society (in fact, they're a smaller population than the children) and their concerns must be balanced against everyone else's. Given the extreme cost of dealing with covid19, both financially and in terms of medical resource utilization (both resources that the homeless use as well), it's reasonable to believe that a higher vaccination rate will improve resources available for the homeless.

4. What are the unintended consequences?

Something. There's always an unintended consequence. Yet life goes on, and legislative bodies still pass laws. This point isn't an argument against a vaccine certificate, it's merely an argument that such a law should be well crafted. Something I agree with 110%. Given the extreme cost of covid19, it's also fair to say that even a flawed implementation could still be very useful.

5. Why are people vaccine-hesitant?

A valid question, but much like point 4, not particularly an argument against vaccine certificates. One thing that I have to iterate again is that if you think the vaccine is expensive, think how much worse the illness can be.

6. Are vaccine certificates ethical?

Vaccination records have been considered ethical for some time, this article makes no argument as to why covid19 vaccines are special.
> “You have literally teenagers doing break and oil changes on $100,000 cars and the customer hops in these cars and drives 85 miles an hour on the highway. We’re trusting these repairs to people that don’t have a ton of experience.”

Considering that a break (sic) and oil change is a simple DIY task, it's no surprise that we trust teenagers with no experience to do it. I trust myself to do it, and I'm not a gearhead.

> But Tesla has done a great job of marketing the Teslas as a complicated piece of machinery that needs certified technicians to do repairs. Many basic repairs are impossible to do on its cars because of software locks. “Tesla, first and foremost, is a software company,” Benoit said.

How does this square with the oft-touted claim that other automakers are dragging their feet on getting rid of ICEs, because fixing them is a huge profit center for them? Are electric vehicles actually easier to maintain and fix, or not? And if they are, why does Tesla charge so much for these repairs?

As an end-user, I don't really care about whether or not a car-in-the-shop fix is a ten-hour job, or a five-minute one. What I care about is how much it costs me.
First, green card != citizenship. You don't get citizenship until 5 years have passed & residency limits are typically in the 3-5 year range, not beyond. Once someone establishes roots for 3-5 years, they usually stick around there long term anyway (unless they're young & childless).

Secondly, you know how you fill out taxes every year & you have to say where your primary residence was for tax purposes? That's how you enforce it.
> The new rate would apply to those in the top tax bracket for long-term capital gains, which in 2021 covers individual filers earning more than $445,850 and married joint filers earning more than $501,600, according to the Ways and Means Committee.

Would have been nice to have that in the title, because it seems more fear-mongering than necessary.

People who make that much and more use more infrastructure and benefit more from stock market gains, they should pay an accordingly fair amount of taxes.

> This sounds like the real concern

I actually think it distracts from their argument. Either say something or don 't. What purpose do vague accusations have here? Scare Amazon into behaving so not to get bad press? If the actions are concerning enough that Amazon should not have full-control, then why wouldn't those actions still not be pertinent if they do not define Rust.

The teachers at our school are pretty level headed, but the NAIS-approved curriculum sources are pretty wacky. For example: https://pollyannaincrlc.org/

For example for Grade 4:

> The full collection of Racial Literacy Grade 4 lessons are designed to help students understand how geography influenced the emergence of civilization. Humans are the only animals to build vast civilizations,* and geography provided or denied the resources that allowed some groups of former hunter-gatherers to become farmers and herders and eventually develop some of the world’s first civilizations. Students will explore the various engineering, technological, scientific, and mathematical innovations of such civilizations, tracing cross-cultural patterns in order to develop a more informed and eclectic worldview––enhancing their own cultural competency. A goal is for students to realize that humans of a given time and place created similar structures and/or inherited ideas to establish a common pattern that was dictated by geography.* With such a lens, students will be able to analyze history and other social assertions that fabricate myths of racial superiority, including the ability to critique and dispel Eurocentric perspectives that favor a myopic view of race.

As a Bangladeshi who has spent a lot of time reading about development economics this is egregiously bad. It mixes up race with culture—a common error caused by projecting American racial politics onto other countries—and reduces the question of why some countries are rich and others are poor to “geography.”

Bangladesh is so bountiful in terms of resources that fish literally jump out of ponds into your net: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dziriaxG1Fk. It’s paradise compared to anywhere in Northern Europe. Resources aren’t why Europeans pulled ahead. That’s an absurd claim.

Which isn’t surprising, because nobody involved with this Pollyanna curriculum is actually a developmental economist or historian. It’s a curriculum that’s formulated by working backward from the premise of cultural equality.
Let's not forget the lies that are broadcasted left and right on social media, in which thousands become millions, and trite tropes are sold like congress-worthy insights.

Ignoring the obvious problems with the study design that others have pointed out, it does seem like an interesting concept.

We see several stories a year discussing the links between air pollution and dementia, and also a link between more exercise and less dementia. so it makes some sense to me that there might be a link between decreasing lung function and increasing dementia. if the function of the HBOT is to increase the ability of lungs to oxygenate blood, maybe there is a subtle but important threshold of blood oxygenation that we don't understand well enough.

note: I am not a medical professional at all, it just seems like there is a "lung function" commonality in several of these stories.

Could You Have Stopped Chernobyl?
The "charitable interpretation" is that the people involved in the decision truly believed their stated rationale. In that case the fact that the symbol has actually confused consumers in practice and has caused unrecycleable plastics to contaminate plastic recycling streams is simply an honest mistake.

The "uncharitable interpretation" is that it was a dishonest way for plastic manufacturers to label unrecycleable plastics with recycling symbols to confuse consumers into thinking a greater number of single-use plastics were recyclable than actually were recyclable with no consideration given to the difficulties this would cause for the organizations actually responsible for recycling the plastic.

Because I was not there I do not know whether the people involved were misguided or unethical or somewhere in between.
"On his clients" meaning his eg laptop.

The conversation has been intentionally muddled here by shifting definitions. "Critical Race Theory" is a college course. However the version that is a rebranded "PC culture run amok" is far more prevalent and includes things like teaching kids that the US founders were slaveholders and that owning slaves is a bad thing.

It's the same old story over the decades, but rebranded yet again to get the attention of the news media. "Traditional values are 'under attack' by crazy left wing people who only care about not-you".
