The example you got was the exact thing I had in mind - there are "terminology-heavy" fields with lots of terms, and a random draw is quite likely to draw two items from a single field which IMHO should count as quite related. The automated scoring method they're using seems to say that all obscure words are unrelated to each other, though, but I'd use that as a criticism for that evaluation algorithm not as praise for the evaluated method.

On the other hand, probably there are many humans who would pick two local animals or two office-related objects that happen to be in their room, so that cuts both ways.

I do know some conservative, religious, pro-Trump communities were very focused on stopping the spread of covid and locking down. It wasn’t a partisan issue, it was common knowledge that covid-19 made people sick and we had to stop it.

Until Donald Trump decided to say covid-19 is a hoax and preventative measures are unnecessary. Presumably because he‘s so contrarian that anything the Democrats supported he opposed and vice versa. It was a dumb move and many (including me) believe it cost him the election, if he decided to support lockdowns I really think he would’ve won by a long shot.

And now it’s too late, since many conservatives got so invested in the fact that covid-19 is fake, and people can’t admit when they’re wrong. I wish liberals were more sympathetic and tried to make it easier for conservatives to accept the vaccine instead of mocking and shaming. But it’s so hard to get people to admit when they’re wrong.

At the very least you could make sure the device is powered down when not in use.

A piece of tape over the camera would solve about half of the problem, and is just a good idea in general.

If you want to be a bit more paranoid, set up a separate network for the school-issued devices, and turn those networks off except during school hours.

Or, if you're looking for a social solution, print out thay paragraph, take it to the next meeting of the school board, and demand to know why they want to record your child while they're getting out of the shower. These devices will be in children's bedrooms the majority of the time, and if they can record at any time, with no warning, they will record images that would be considered by many to be very illegal.

Free speech in the US isn't absolute, but the Constitution prevents the government from banning most types of speech. By contrast private companies are free to ban anything they want on their platforms, for any reason or no reason at all. Whether it's morally right for powerful tech companies to use that power is another question entirely.
Okay I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure why this is being used as an argument against teaching personal finance...

Academic vs. real life is a strange debate to me. It seems that to some people that academics itself is sacrosanct and plenty, and to others real life is sacrosanct and plenty. This entire article is about academic data being sacrosanct about these classes, and that's literally what I railed against. To me, I believe in both. They go hand in hand.

So for instance, if you're talking about the action of cooking, I also was required to take a Home Ec class independently of the personal finance requirement. There are many requirements in a high school, this is just one class we are talking about. The Home Ec class had grades based on how well we would sew up and patch clothing, create pillows and such, and cook various things. So there's some practical experience.

Now, you're also debating about an essentially real world "resisting" of urges and that's clearly not going to be able to be "taught" as you say. But we're talking about preparing children for adulthood, and in adulthood, you're going to experience that either way.

If they don't know what the term "interest rate" is, how exactly are they going to learn it from a 10+ page credit card legalese document? That seems enormously more opaque to me. You can learn it from others, sure, but they had to learn it somewhere and they likely learned it from a book or from school, or from learning it by screwing up the hard way.

If we're trying to reduce the amount of people that long term screw up, then having them equipped to understand the language of the real world is a great place to start instead of at the ground floor with zero knowledge. And yes, real world experience is necessary, too, but short of giving kids raw eggs and meat and having thousands of stoves in the lunchroom instead of prepared food I'm not sure how you would accomplish that.

Some people are privileged enough to have parents that can teach them this stuff, but largely after generations of not knowing these things in impoverished areas or having parents that have to work to do the things like cook for their children and pay their own bills when they get home, those fresh "graduates" are going to start from scratch not knowing the language nor having the experience and wind up screwing up, possibly in a way that is impossible to get out of and end up homeless or buried in extreme debt with interest rates they do not understand. Increasing the odds of your success by helping you understand the terms being thrown at you is going to help prevent that. As is having you go through the motions of doing the cooking, in this example.

But it comes down to for me as I said, I believe in real world experience AND education on a subject. Education can teach you what you need to practice in the first place sometimes, rather than end up unable to understand why you are trapped and what could potentially help you become untrapped. I don't see these as mutually exclusive.

I've hosted my own email server for years; I coincidentally shut it down yesterday.

Once you've got it set up properly, deliverability is quite good. The main problem is having to monitor blacklists, spam and account brute-force attacks, and typical issues with infrastructure such as disk space or DNS. Rarely anything goes wrong, but when it does, it will be at the most inconvenient time and you'll have no option but to fix it if you want to keep receiving email. Out of principle, I believe any individual should be able to self-host, but at the same time, I don't have the time and interest anymore to babysit servers for personal use. So you probably want to weigh those two things according to your own situation.

The main issue these days is finding providers that allow running open mail servers and yet are not blackholed because of IP range sender reputation. A lot of the cheaper server providers have to fight relatively lot of abuse so you're stuck between a rock and a hard place having to convince both your own provider as well as the mail servers you send to of your good intentions. There should probably be a provider aimed specifically at email servers that takes extra care it has IP ranges that never host spammers, cryptocurrency, tor nodes, botnets and whatnot.

The Hashicorp co-founders considered alternative approaches when originally designing terraform. The actor model was considered but dismissed. That's not a million miles away from the kubernetes reconcile loop model:

> Then we transitioned to an actor-based model where each resource was almost an actor, and there was a message-passing interface between them.

> This allowed the system to be highly concurrent the way Terraform is today, but also confusing for users to deal with and very difficult to build a programming model around, because the ordering of execution was so random and everything was happening concurrently.

https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/terraform-fireside-chat-...

They may still be right. Kubernetes' approach may seem more attractive but terraform is far more pragmatic in its design.

In cases where you can get access to the phone, sure.

But these trackers mean that you can give a stuffed animal to your favorite streaming star at a conference (or sent one in the post to their mailbox service) and then learn where they live... and you can do so with a few minutes effort and a few dollars in cost above the toy.

If you know you're at risk you can protect your phone. I think the threat from these apple-powered trackers is much more severe, but it's true that these sorts of risks still exist without them.
The French didn't start committing troops or ships till the Americans won a major battle:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Saratoga#French_aid

So that refines the question to: how important was the private ownership of guns in the American victory at Saratoga? Well, the Wikipedia article referenced above says that, "militiamen and supplies continued to pour into the American camp, including critical increases in ammunition, which had been severely depleted in the first battle."

"General Fraser was mortally wounded in this phase of the battle, . . . The fall of Fraser and the arrival of Ten Broeck's large militia brigade (which roughly equaled the entire British reconnaissance force in size), broke the British will, and they began a disorganized retreat toward their entrenchments."

So that got me curious about what "militia" meant exactly during this time frame. Well, General Ten Broeck's Wikipedia page says that 2 years prior to the action described in the last paragraph General Ten Broeck was colonel of the Albany County militia, which has a Wikipedia page, which starts as follows: "The Albany County militia was the colonial militia of Albany County, New York. Drawn from the general male population, by law all male inhabitants from 15 to 55 had to be enrolled in militia companies."

I think they were being facetious. Yes, mask compliance was probably a bad example, because this was politicized from both sides pretty much right away. I think the general point stands though
I think what it really brings to light (at least for me) is the incompetence of the CCP in the matter.

I have no qualms about China conducting research in this regard, other countries are doing it too and we would be naive to think otherwise. However, if it is proven to be true that gain of function research was being conducted at the Wuhan laboratory, it highlights the sheer stupidity of the government in thinking they could build a military bio-weapons research laboratory in the heart of a major city center. Western nations that do have such facilities place them far away from high-density urban populations, precisely as a last-ditch measure to mitigate the impact of an (eventual) breach.

It's worse for the CCP if it boils down to incompetence rather than malice. Becoming a laughingstock of the world and not being taken seriously is perhaps their deepest fear.

This is a nonsensical argument for reasons ISL pointed out in their reply (among others), and framing the issue as a question of origin OR <other important questions> is a false dichotomy - they are all important questions worth seeking answers to and will inform different aspects of how w respond to, and ideally prevent, future pandemics.
It's the digitization of the mindset where parents wouldn't let their kids go a mile to the park alone, or go play with a friend on the next block, etc. By the way, there's an app called life360 that's increasingly popular with parents of high school kids. It tracks the user everywhere, monitors driving speed, that sort of thing, so the parents can observe their children at all times. Some have even demanded that their children continue using it in college. It's a goddamn digital panopticon and it needs to stop.

That's the problem with metrics though. You can make anything sound plausible. Once a model has been presented to you, you can come up with an endless stream of just-so stories for why it measures what you were told it measures. Nonetheless, some metrics simply aren't that useful, and get adopted anyway because they produce a bunch of data. Psychometrics like this have an awful track record for standing up to more meaningful tests like "Can we drive any outcome we care about with this"
It was done a tested more than once. As I recall, it took quite a bit to get Linux to perform to the level that BSD was performing for (a) this use can and (b) the years of investment Netflix had already put into the BSD systems.

So, could Linux be tweaked and made as performant for _this_ use case. I expect so. The question to be answered is _why_.
Investment choices advice can almost always be generic. Things like how much to save less so, but rules of thumb are still widely applicable.

But when it comes down to something like tax optimization the variables start multiplying quickly—-state of residency, income, employer benefits, etc, etc. There’s a need out there for decent advice but not an exorbitant cost. On the flip side, as an advisor it’s tough to make a living without charging a lot because there’s a lot of overhead and non billable time.

All of this wasted time is unnecessary, there’s no good reason that the systems have to be so complicated that even intelligent people get lost in all the details.

From the wiki:

The cause for this geological change has been identified as a drilling operation conducted in the summer and autumn of 2007 to provide geothermal heating to the city hall. The drilling perforated an anhydrite layer and caused high-pressure groundwater to come into contact with the anhydrite, which then began to expand.

By 2010, some sections of town had risen by 30 centimetres (12 in). In July 2013, no end to the rising process was in sight.

Pandemic of course messed with much of the social infra the world over, BUT no real social option for child care in a developed country is a very USA problem. Good family leave policy (1 year+) and wide availability of kindergarten-type facilities (no it’s not a “grade” in childcare, it’s a type of a facility) with universal guarantee of availability are the norm elsewhere and do wonders to enable parents to work.

When caring for a newborn for more than a few weeks means one becomes unemployed, no wonder families decide to not play that game until kids are a bit older. Otherwise, you look for a job just to risk needing a leave that can result in loss of this job if the kid gets sufficiently sick.
This is stupid. You can't debate facts. Either SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab, or it didn't. Unless somebody comes forward to say, "Yeah, I tore my glove while transporting some test tubes and I got sick two days later," we're never going to know for sure.

The only sensible thing to do is assume that it's at least possible that it was a lab leak and reevaluate the risk-benefit tradeoff of this type of research. That is a debate worth having. The rest is just posturing.
This is reductionist to the point of uselessness. People "know" tons of crap, and singular known facts don't dictate behavior by themselves, no matter who you are. Every tradeoff you make is a result of all your collected experience and knowledge on the topic as well as your desires and the complexities of time-based decision making (bad now = good later, and vice versa, where the "bad" and "good" things are never quite comparable qualitatively).

Education affects humans, and education can be changed to better affect humans, but humans can't simply be changed except by education, so it's the ultimate irony to look at people doing a bad job, their fault or not, and imply we somehow can't or shouldn't use the one and only tool we have to change people. Giving up is easy, especially if it's strangers you're giving up on and you don't care about the entire picture of the society you live in. Bettering education is very hard. Taken together, it's obvious why so many people just want to say "they deserve it" and no longer think about it.
