I did this. Let me tell you my experience.

I grew up in the outskirts of LA where there is a mix of farmland and people willing to drive a long way into LA. My family moved there because of the military and i had previously been in a "good" school, but this area was more than 50% the children of farm workers and they had really been screwed by fate. Most didn't speak English and the school system was constantly struggling to get them to learn enough English so they could understand the other subjects.

Anyway, by junior high, I had worked out a deal with my school that I could take some classes at the local community college and not take them at junior high. So rather than take Algebra I or whatever I would take a math class at the college. Well... by the end of 8th grade I had taken the first two calculus semesters.

When transferring to college I should have gone to one of two particularly bad high schools and it make things worse, the high schools were not going to allow me to take any college classes. I would start in high school at algebra II.

So I dropped out. At the time in California, you were able to select a community college as your high school. This is sadly no longer the case. I took all the classes I needed to fill in my general education requirements and took STEM classes I would need to transfer to a CSU or UC school. I didn't take things too seriously. I took whatever classes looked interesting including SCUBA, TV production and some music classes.
I finished with everything needed to transfer at 16 and transferred to Calpoly. I finished with my BS in Chemistry at 19. Took a year off because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Worked at a winery as an analytical chemist which was loads of fun. After a year there, I decided I needed a PhD if I wanted to do research and did that at Caltech.

Personally, I believe this worked out fine for me. The people at the community college especially in STEM classes were great. I had and made friends along the way. Going to high school would have been a step down and a step back for me, but I don't think skipping high school is for everyone.
Does anyone know how it implements the virtual drive?

I can't see any special drivers so it doesn't appear to be dokan/winfsp/winfuse.
> Doesn't mean that smokers or drivers will do literally any level of harm to humans in order to gain the tiniest of profit to themselves.

For a guy who is very eager to accuse others of straw manning, you seem to be working very hard to invent things so that you can dismiss them.
Yeah I'd stay away from these French platforms, except perhaps Clever Cloud.
Abuse detection, in order to maintain high sender reputation, perhaps?
I took college courses during high school. I had enough credits to finish my bachelor degree within a year after finishing school

I thought I was skipping high school, but in reality I was actually skipping college. It is really bad.
My fear with strongly anonymous DeFi is indirectly harming the environment and supporting crime. Sadly doesn't look like Monero resolve these concerns.
This is very interesting. Does it mean we can observe the constant speed phenomenon for other waves e.g waves in water or sound waves or waves in a spring or a string?

That will be very comprehensible
It's the same as asking, what percentage of the time is science wrong? 100% of the time, yes. We're trying to approximate correctness and the plan is to get a bit closer every day as new information becomes available.
Many Californians have had ballots for a month now.

Also, pretty sure when someone is arrested with 300 stolen ballots your argument that there is no fraud goes out the window.
They're sunsetting Quickbooks Commerce, though: https://commerce.intuit.com/register
I think there's a valid question here, but it's framed as if the only standard is, 'what can I get away with'? Where do you see the nuances and what do they lead you to?
Monero is a quality project ignored by the masses. Zcash is also pretty cool too!
I think when this happens the API spec should be released "as-is". Obfuscate if necessary, don't include the piping to databases or object storage, but, c'mon. Let other people set up services, even if it's just self hosted.
Trump killed the TPP, but because Google is a monopoly and functionally a state entity, Google gets to veto that decision and simply implement draconian IP law outside of any democratic oversight.

Yeah this thing here https://youtu.be/bYviBstTUwo?t=1411 I gotta get to a point where I can make that, the weights/math part.
Yes I miss it everyday, I feel so clumsy typing on a piece of glass, and make soo many typos. I could type BLIND without typos whole emails while maintaining a casual conversation (much to the annoyance of my girlfriend). There are a lot of BlackBerry-stans still on crackberry.com holding out on older and newer BlackBerry phoned (key2 being the latest).

Really loved my Q10 with bb10os and my Keyone running Android! Sadly security updates stopped so had to get a slab, and run Blackberry Inbox on it (unified inbox of all your messaging apps, it is quite nice).

BlackBerry licensed Onward Mobility to make another keyboard phone, although they promised one this year, they are so silent I would be surprised if they are able to.

Bb10 was really a supernice OS, a lot of android and iOS stuff is inspired by it. blackberry still has some amazing patents and software, so it isn't a goner, but no phones directly from them anymore, only licensees (India, Indonesia, and hopefully worldwide via Onward Mobility)

I never knew the glorydays of bb07, but sure know if they stayed succesfull then (I.e. made less catastrophic mistakes and made strategic choices away from business products when they had a significant mobile phone marketshare ) how cool it might have been now with them still in the mobile phone field.
What a BS parade. You don't become a real person by reading on how to become a real person.
Although I say I wouldn’t have changed anything, I think it’s really tough to go back and reevaluate choices like this - you can never really know what alternative paths lay ahead, better or worse.

I think we tell ourselves stories about how we got from A to B (like mine above) but in reality it’s never quite as simple. It’s always easier to rationalise and construct what feels like a meaningful narrative in retrospect.

For all you know, the choices you made, even if they now feel slightly uniformed in retrospect may still have been 100% right for you!

I suppose reflecting on my previous comment, the flip side of the situation is that I was incredibly lucky to go to a pretty good school (even though I didn’t always like it much) and the single biggest benefit I got was the utterly amazing life-long friends I made there, who are still great friends today. Those friends have had 1000% more positive impact on me than my schooling did, but I wouldn’t have met them without school.
It's a bit weird. He's not hard up for money and I don't think he cares that much about it. He has enough for any normal person, so he's probably letting "interesting" project ride his coattails... that said, I think he's in danger of diluting his credentials if he endorses too many things that don't pan out.

That's interesting. Was this because of the volume of mail I/O, for scale/fanout-related performance reasons, or to simply keep responsiveness at p99 for that account "just because VIP"?

I agree it was all trash, and honestly, as much as I resent TLJ, it would have been a better trilogy if they went down the shit path that RJ sent them down. JJ didn't even try.
Ultimately, you just have to let go. Every possible action you take in your life could be taken advantage by criminals. Do you want to let that restrict you ability to lead your life? I don’t.
I don't know how it could resolve the "supporting crime" concern, really. When something is anonymous/private, it's going to be used for things you don't like. It's then all about whether you think the tradeoff is worth it.

Personally, I think it is, but I understand how others can have different viewpoints. I think the logical conclusion if you take the opposite stance is that you're against anonymity and/or privacy, though.
A start would be to (mostly) privatize primary education. Every revolution in mass production and delivery of goods and services that used to be the exclusive province of the rich was generated by free enterprise.

We are but a blip on the cosmic scale
I had Intuit as a client. In the consulting I do I hear gripes fairly quickly.

The only gripes I heard were not really gripes just an expression of the challenge of grappling with the legacy of TurboTax. The team seemed intent on finding new ways to manage the complexity and they seemed very open to new tech.

Everyone seemed happy to be working there. The few managers i interacted with seemed to really care about their teams. The most surprising thing I experienced was how grateful some were that they weren’t working at Hooli across the street in Mountain View. I didn’t understand this sentiment till I wandered over to Hooli’s campus. Everyone there seemed as depressed as the folks on a particular insurance campus in Lansing Michigan I visited. Not scientific, just sharing my lived exp.
Could be worth looking at CMAKE; you can even link to github repos like Go offers.
I respect and appreciate no API key being needed, but how will you prevent excessive usage? I'll just say that it's been a battle on my end to stop people abusing APIs I deploy. It's why we can't have nice things.
Reminds me of the website everything2 that hyperlinked everything to everything.

Huh, The site still exists.
Shrimp is considered seafood so in terms of diet would be considered pescatarian.

I also said tofu which tastes great and is neither seafood or meat.
> I honestly can't tell if it's meta-parody. And that's why I'll keep watching.

I'm kinda in the same boat. But I think one of the things I like about Curtis is that he's made me read more about things I didn't know about.

For example I'd never given much thought about Afghanistan (other than Afghan coats) until the Soviet Union invaded. I was an early teenager (I'm in my mid 50s now), but reasonably interested in world politics, and even back then, and the Afghan war seemed like another cold war proxy conflict, and same old same old.

There were many events like that for me, and then I bumped into Curtis in 1992 and his Pandora's box series and I was sort of wowed at his take on the world. These wee snippets of, often obscure, history made tantalisingly accessible and fascinating by the way he assembles his final cuts, so much so that I went off and bought books on history rather than be informed by the opinion pieces in the Times (London), The Guardian etc. I will caveat that I realise history books are not free of bias.

Whatever he's doing I think it's a good thing. Sure he often reaches no conclusions but he throws many ideas at us to make us think. Maybe proper historians rue the day he got the cart blanch from the BBC to make these films and series and don't find them "academic" enough. And maybe his work is just a form of meta-parody art, but there's always something in these films to tickle your grey matter.

Finally, if anyone's interested in a docu-fictional story about the British Empire's comeuppance in Afghanistan the I'd recommend the first book in George MacDonald Fraser's "Flashman" series:

Can You Guess?
Early on 'dealers' would set up shop and build up the market for a particular car brand. In many cases the manufacturers would see which markets were 'best' and then setup their own sales floor directly competing with the car dealers.

They could easily undercut the dealers and drive them out of business. The law was designed to protect the dealers from the manufacturers.

We are seeing it more and more now in many markets and niches as manufactures are cutting out dealers that built the markets and selling 'direct to consumer'. The difference is that most manufacturers saw what happened to the car companies and are trying to carefully avoid having the same thing happen to them.
This is them recognizing that their protocols have a huge number of false positives and they don't want PR about it so they are choosing not to subject anyone with reach to it.
A bit unrelated:

What is the cheapest provider for transactional E-Mail through an API?

Mailchimp is quite expense. A few solutions are a bit cheaper but not that much.

I used to have my own mailserver using Roundcube and my E-Mails never ended in the spams.
So it quickly gets more economic to run my own mail server. Only problem is that it is quite a headache to manage.
Can't some one create a 10x cheaper alternative to Mailchimp since sending E-Mails comes at almost no cost?
Rumors say that there is "$300m for “employee transaction bonuses” (or 2.5% of the deal)"
For those that may not be familiar, the relatively strong anonymity on Monero is via a cryptographic mechanism known as "ring signatures". Separate from cryptocurrency they are a useful cryptographic technique for many things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature
Car dealers provide a lot of utility. They let you test drive cars, help with financing, provide warranty service, buy your trade in, etc. Even without these archaic laws these utilities would still be needed. However, the market would likely find far more efficient business models than the currant car dealer.

It is time to end these laws that stop competition. Let America innovate with better business models. The only losers are current car dealership owners that refuse to adapt.

Sure cherry picking specific issues can make an car model look bad. Likely the better measure in deciding to buy a Tesla or not is how the owners, in aggregate, feel about their cars. If you look at Consumer's Reports owner's ratings of their cars they are all consistently very high.
That becomes ticket scalping problem. The hottest cars would get bough up by dealerships and charge a huge markup.
The website (which I linked to above) makes the following specific claim:

4. Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in elections held in 3rd-world nations (such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran) have detected fraud in California resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor. The primary analytical tool used was Benford’s Law and can be readily reproduced.

Please explain to me how you can do a statistical analysis more than a day before any results have been tallied or published. Having a website ready to go if you believe there was fraud is not unreasonable, but writing up your claims before even knowing the result seems either irrational or dishonest.

Please follow the HN guidelines and stick with addressing the story, not a bunch of other stories that you may legitimately find more interesting but which have no direct bearing on this one. Also, I haven't downvoted you because I can't downvote top level comments on my own thread.

Also, you claim that '70% of voters at an LA voting center were told they had already voted', which you have repeated here several times.

I looked at the link you provided and it included no percentage information of any kind, just allegations about 4 people and some unspecified number of 'friends'. I don't understand where you are getting the 70% figure from.

Some San Fernando Valley voters think they are being wrongly prevented from casting a ballot in the upcoming gubernatorial recall election, but the county elections office said it was an equipment issue that was resolved.

At El Camino Real Charter High School in Woodland Hills, some voters say they were told the computers showed them as already having voted, even though they had not.

West Hills resident Estelle Bender, 88, said she was far from the only person who was being told incorrectly that they had already voted. In addition to friends of hers who experienced the issue and two other women outside the polling place, Bender said that inside, “the man next to me was arguing the same thing.” Bender said she filled out a provisional ballot and “left really angry.”

“I’d still like to know how I voted,” Bender said.

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office said in a statement that there were issues with the settings on devices used to check in voters prior to voting. “After troubleshooting the issue, the equipment at the locations was replaced and voting continued,” a spokesman for the office said. The spokesman noted that provisional ballots were issued and that they are a “failsafe option” to ensure that everyone’s votes are counted. “Once the eligibility of the voter is verified, [the ballots] are processed and counted,” the statement added.

Editor’s note: This story was updated to include details about the equipment issues described by the Registrar-Recorder’s office.

Is this supposed to be a reference to Mara's post? They never said that the core team is not "doing anything", only that they're less involved in steering the Rust project as a whole. Managing the implosion of Mozilla and the creation of a new foundation may be very worthwhile and perhaps intense work, but it has remarkably little to do with Mara's narrower point about project direction.
If you watch the video interviews they mention it.

Also, most democrats aren't voting in person as they are afraid of the "covid". Republicans vote in person because they spent the last two years bitching about mail-in voter fraud.

I think it’s both true that most people do a lot of growing up at university and that it can make the experience worse if you are younger than everyone.

From a U.K. perspective one issue is that many student things generally assume everyone will be over 18 and therefore able to enter places that serve alcohol and only admit people over that age. Even if you don’t want to drink you may still be barred from participating. But this might not be such a big deal in the U.S.

If you’re only interested in your studies and you excel at them then maybe things don’t matter so much but I think for most people, university is mot so much about learning the subject you are reading as it is about being socialised into the middle class, and this is harder to do if you come in with one hand tied behind your back.
If you are a high schooler, and you read this article and now you think should skip high school (and college), you should definitely go to high school and college.
Did essentially the same thing - started community college during 8th grade, got enough credits to transfer, and opted out of high school entirely. I always wonder if it really was a good decision overall, though - I wonder if maybe I had gone the “traditional” route if I might have gone to a better four-year school and had a higher GPA. All in all, I’ve done OK, but I always wonder.

Edit: so it would appear that neither of us actually read the article before commenting…
> Seriously though, the glaring lack of information and supporting evidence is kinda the point

Yeah that's the point.

I would say, instead of blaming Trump for punching a hole in the cornerstone of democracy, it just demonstrated how fragile the system already is. So many people are already eagerly ready to do that to win. Trump only dog-whistled them by doing so as president.
But they are different:

PGEU is directly affiliated and acknowledged by the PostgreSQL community, whereas Fundación is not. This can be seen by the absence of Fundación on the donations page (where PGEU is listed), the lack of mailing list for Fundación (general-eu is maintained by or allocated for PGEU), and it is missing from IRC/external webpages/Local User Groups pages (#postgresql-eu is under management of PGEU). As such, you should not call Fundación a "Postgres NPO", as it is unaffiliated with the main PostgreSQL project.

Furthermore, Fundación does not seem to have a fair and transparent method for the community to get involved; instead of association members voting for the board (Patronage) the board seemingly appoints their own members (Art. 10(2) of Statutes). Lastly, Fundación has no well-defined trademark policy (only fair use, so I would be unable to start my local PostgreSQL Community (Netherlands) without infringing on the trademark).

PGEU however is transparent in who can become a member (~anyone in Europe), how the board is elected (popular vote by all members of proposed member candidates) and clearly describes in what conditions these brands may be used other than the normal fair use policy.
If people are taking Ivermectin instead of a vaccine, then we as a society have a lot to lose. There is no clinically significant evidence that Ivermectin prevents COVID-19 or reduces its severity. Whereas there is abundant evidence that the vaccines do.
