Public school should provide a basic education to all students, not a better education to some students. Resources that were used for a 'gifted and talented' track should be allocated to help the more needy.

Especially in later years, segregating the 'smarter' students is a net loss for the under achievers. How could those 'smarter' students be helping tutor the under achievers?

Public school was about helping those in poverty get an education. The middle and upper class has infiltrated the school system for their own purposes. Personally, I'm against public schools in any form, but if they are to exist, we should be trying to ensure all kids have access to the same basic education, not rewarding the ones that already have a higher chance of success.
What an incredibly cynical view of the world. Teams where people collaborate are more successful, if you think trying to make your colleagues obsolete is time "better spent", I honestly feel sorry for your co-workers. Yes, if I sat and just wrote code all day I would get a lot done. But, if I help my colleagues too, we all get lots more done.

Microsoft is an interesting case in that it has lost its influence while growing its market cap. Microsoft is several times as big as it was when PG called it dead 14 years ago[0], but founders today aren't afraid to compete against it or refuse its acquisition offers. Microsoft makes plenty of money, but does not have a great deal of control over what anybody else does.

Study: Daily meat consumption in the UK has fallen by 17% in the last decade
I tried to do that last year, but I ended up working on a side-project for fun in my spare time which is now blowing up into a real startup. Once I had a work inbox again, I realized I had forgotten how much I love to work, how much I love to have emails to respond to, decisions to make, growth numbers to pursue. I think I'll never go back to a completely idle pace of life again, as coding and growing a business are just too much fun.
Google already does it for free and it is far more practical than a Facebook (cough, AOL) page.

Any answers from people who have kids?

Part of the appeal of work for me is the good example it sets to the kids. Work hard, get rewards (and not just financial rewards).
The inconvenient truth about NYC G&T program is that it is 40% Asian. Asians have dominated the G&T program, even "stealing" spots from white kids where 43% of NYC is white, but only 35% of spots taken by white kids.

And Asians are dominating the NYC G&T program NOT because of hundreds of years of systemic racism, NOT because Asians wrote the admissions tests an inbueing cultural bias, and NOT by cheating or bribing admissions. And in NYC, Asians are the poorest demographic by a large margin. This makes the entire story extremely inconvenient for activists who want to say that the program is racist and discriminates against the economically disadvantaged. And yet, they somehow are able to get the entire program trashed because of racism against Asians is perfectly accepted in 2021.

Activists have no problems openly discriminating against Asians because whites, blacks and Latinos think of "Americans" as whites, blacks and Latinos. Asians are considered foreigners. So when a prestigious program is dominated by Asians, something must obviously wrong, right?

Activists have gutted admissions at Thomas Jefferson high school in Fairfax, VA, arguably the top public high school in the US because it had a high percentage of Asians. Lowell High school admissions in SF, a top 100 high school, underwent the exact same thing because of its high percentage of Asians. Now NYC is doing the same thing. At Harvard, the admissions department openly discriminates against Asians by saying they lack "courage" or less "likeable". Imagine the outrage if this happened to Blacks, but because it happened to Asians it's considered okay because Asians are unAmerican.

Re: Sub Sailor
It's not about punishment but blame. Educate the parents. Have classes that guide them on child rearing. When parents neglect their children nutritionally or behaviorally, the state intervenes. Have programs all through K-12 that inculcate this idea. Work to turn that ship around.

Have them break out of a bleak culture. They are the PARENTS, it's their responsibility to rear their kids, not the state's responsibility. They made the decision to have kids.
Maybe that's why so many people think 10x programmers don't exist - they work in environments where a 10x programmer isn't needed and couldn't really demonstrate their skills.

Also don't understand what moving the market means in this context. The market is at 1:1 for USDT/USD, if there's selling pressure that would lead USDT to trade under $1, the only way to manipulate that is to buy lots of USDT from everyone who wants to sell, which tends to support the peg. Not even sure why that's called manipulation. If there's a real panic and tether turns off withdrawals there's no way anyone has the money to buy everything up at peg.

Leadership and management are like riding a bike in that you can teach children to do it, but if you never learned, it's likely you never will. Management training programs for regular teenagers are common in the fast food industry, and it's a differentiating life skill. I think giving that to exceptional 8-12yr olds is more valuable than exploring their creativity in an isolated class away from their peers. Few people ever get bored of leadership. The net return on teaching advanced individual problem solving compared to teaching smart kids to scale their skills with leadership has a massive delta.

This is probably something you couldn't do in the public system, and you would need separate schools, and arguably this is what private schools already do. Policy wise, this is equivalent to vouchers, which are immensely controversial for the same reasons gifted education is, because they stream people into opportunity - or lack thereof, when they are still just kids. You're never going to teach kids enough to overthrow you, but if you don't, what are you really educating them to become?

> How can the public form an opinion if the information they get about it is skewed by the affected companies?

When Trump was in power, you had the right wanting to regulate Reddit/Twitter, and the left wanting to regulate Facebook.

I don't think the companies are successfully skewing people in their favor of not being regulated.

Big tech are a necessary evil for most people. Philip Morris' customers don't talk about it being a great company, they just need its product.

People blame big tech a lot though, but what if they did give people visibility and control of their algorithms in terms of what content they want...and if we had more competition...would there be less extremism, or would people just up their own dosage?

In the end it will come down to personal responsibility and education.

Leading by example is not necessarily the same as being a lead developer. For example, my principal engineer is easily a 10x'er as just a pure developer, but he's also a force multiplier for everybody on the team, he's literally a machine. He leads no one, I made him principal engineer so he didn't have to.

If he was to just write code he'd be a 10x'er, with the other work he does to help his colleagues, he's many times more than that.
Depends on your local consumer protections. Over here you're entitled to a product that is fit for purpose. A defective product is clearly not that, with or without dent. Of course getting the store to honor that is going to be a lot of effort pretty much anywhere in the world, but I don't feel like a small dent contributes to that.

To take a random example: I bought ear defenders in a hardware store. I used them fairly frequently for a couple of months, after which I put them on my head and the headband promptly snapped right down in half. I had to argue with the store that that's not a normal way for ear defenders to "wear down", but I got a new pair in the end which have been holding up for years now.
curious what does and doesn't constitute "nomad". e.g. I was based in Thailand and traveled around a lot for 2 years, which probably constitutes "nomad".

but then I moved to Spain and have been there pretty steady for 2 years. I fit a lot of "nomad" traits, except for the key definition: I haven't moved around.

There's a blurry line between "expat" and "nomad".
I'm black and I was in a gifted program in elementary school on through honors college at university. I was surprised when I first heard someone say gifted is racist about a year ago.

At the same time, though, I feel like I was raised in a time where not as many parents are actively trying to game the education system. It seems to ruin the spirit of the gifted program if parents are looking up tricks and tactics to get their kids to ace exams in Kindergarten.
It was very clear.

The G&T program in NYC is mostly ASIAN not white. This is the problem for activists. Also, Asians are the poorest demographic in NYC so activists can't blame systemic racism or economic disadvantages. So better to just destroy the program than explain why Asians who are non-white and poor are able to succeed when other minorities can't.
I am 53. I have worked at home or at an office, and they both have advantages; the ideal would be a few days of each every week.

A mix of veterans and rookies is a good way to encourage a mix of old and new ideas, and also enough questions being asked (and people explaining to each other how things are supposed to work). I do worry a bit about onboarding of rookies into workplaces when it's all WFH; you can always ask for help but it's not as good as having a person sitting at the desk next to you.

Large or small companies both have their advantages, but small companies are more likely to allow a variety of tasks to be done by the same person; employees at large organizations are more specialized.

In the US this is how it works in my experience. You order through Amazon or whoever and pick a window of time tomorrow for it to be delivered. You can get same day sometimes if it's available.
A) there is no evidence such phenomena - especially in net- are due to unsafe optimizations, b) those companies dont need to shift their costs to other users

So there are these moments in development, where the task boils down to ‘I just need to build this system. I can see it all in my head, and I need to turn it into code’

And for that task, factors like how well a developer knows the libraries, how fluently they can express themselves in the language, how fast they can type, how seamlessly their mental model fits with the tools available.. all of those things can make the difference between it being something one dev can crank out in a couple of days, and another dev takes a few weeks over.

And I definitely want more of the first kind of dev on my team than the second kind.

But here’s where that doesn’t match up to what we expect of lead developers and more senior devs as their careers advance, and why ‘10x’ is not necessarily an indicator of ‘ready for promotion’.

The person who can see the whole problem and turn it into code in 2 days often struggles to figure out how to scale what they do to more people. They can’t express how the code should work to someone else because they’re already three steps ahead - explaining how it needs to be done will take longer than just doing it!

So the problem is as soon as this person encounters a problem that is too big to fit all in their head and crank out in a few days, or that requires expertise they don’t yet have, so they need to collaborate… the approach they have learned to rely on stops working.

But it turns out there are 10x team leaders too - devs who can break large projects up into chunks that can be delivered separately, who make sure the team is building the right thing, who know how to make use of that individual who can just crank out a complex system in a couple of days - repeatedly and sustainably - and who make systems that are the right shape so that later features are cheaper and easier to add, rather than becoming harder and slower. In fact at this level the multipliers go way beyond 10x.

And some of those skills build on the individual 10x dev skill set but some are orthogonal to it. Some are downright opposed.
I bought one of these. Unfortunately due to supply-chain holdup the order is pending indefinitely. The primary use-case is as a core router for high-throughput networks like ISP backbones, hence the focus on built-in SFP+ which would usually need an array of PCIe cards to accomplish on a standard box. But you can also use it as a NAS which is how I intend to because of the 4x SATA. Both of these use cases require only moderate CPU power and benefit from the ECC support.

No it doesn’t worry me. I don’t even need my retirement money right now, I have the money from the medical marijuana business for day to day expenses. Bitcoin follows a four year cycle caused by the halving dates and my money was put in near this cycle’s low. It would have to fall an incredible amount for me to even be close to what I put in. The real gutsy move was putting it in back then. But every sign I knew pointed to it being a good idea.

> Suggesting that these cases should be counted in favor of vaccine efficacy is brazenly dishonest. This article is flamebait.

This seems to be a complete misreading of what the article is saying. Nowhere does it claim that "immunity due to prior infection should be counted as due to the vaccine" merely that it makes the "unvaccinated" group look better than it actually is, as it should be further subdivided to "account for past infection" in a subgroup.

Drawing the conclusion that we should therefore ignore the article entirely is unwarranted. Let us not be brazenly dishonest.
Is this the “progressive” luxury we want?
first of all, notice how the word "progressive" is now the cool word to use. Everything has to be progressive now: "progressive" politics, "progressive" cars, maybe soon we'll have "progressive" vacuum cleaners. Just comes to show how people will use the zeitgeist to their own personal advantage, and how many people will just swallow that up.

Secondly, notice the housing being shown. Large, modern, away from the inner cities (even though the work the characters do have a large impact on them). Given the state of inner cities in the US nowadays and in California (where a lot of the this tech is being made), it seems damming that person with resources would invest much wealth to get away from them.

Third, notice the absence of human interaction throughout. Lunch is delivered, music from the home is transferred to the car so as create a continuous bubble where all things heard and seen are pleasant to the character.

These are only some observations I saw in this video. Many won't agree with them but here's my main point: we should use technology to bring people together and enable us to flourish as a society, not to create isolated individuals seeking to maximize their personal pleasure with the aid of it.
