Methodology here is opaque but clearly not systematic. (Also, it is mixing colleges and possibly other things with K-12, which is obvious from the detail lists.)

For more reliable data, go to the BLS, which is systematic. In CA:

Elementary teachers (except special ed), mean $85,100.

Kindergarten teachers (exc. special ed) $76,450.

Middle school teachers (exc. special ed and career/technical) $81,490.

Secondary school teachers (exc. special ed and career/technical) $86,900.

(And special ed and career/technical are lower in each category.)

> Edit: Look at some of the salaries on the main page, $230K-$420K - I wonder who these teachers are in Elementary and High schools with such high salaries..

Probably bad data handling; since its deanonymized, its probably based on public employer data sets, which are often released in unstructured form and potentially listing different pay for the same employee separately; to try to deal with this, sometimes people merge records by name. Sometimes this is right. Sometimes this merges duplicated data or data for distinct but same first and last named individuals (being a CA public employee and having had family members who were, I’ve seen media (one step removed from the public release) data sets where my or other family members’ data was wrong or duplicated, and derived data sets where those errors were compounded.

A Manjaro Linux to Arch Linux Conversion Script
Started having problems starting from pacman 6.0.0 so I decided to write a script to preserve the userspace while getting the latest packages. I did consider the testing branch of Manjaro but that branch didn't have mirrors around me.

two security-related things that stuck with me were:

a) there is a door that leads to the reactor compartment, and that entire section of the ship is off-limits to him. he had a thorough background check before going, and someone from the Navy reviewed all his footage before he could publish it. but despite all that, he's not allowed to even be in the part of the ship where the reactor is. excellent defense-in-depth (pun not intended).

b) when discussing sonar, the XO was sitting right there along with the sonarman, to make sure nothing classified was recorded. there were a few times where the XO said "nope nope nope, can't talk about that". the most interesting one to me was, IIRC, a question about the active sonar system being relatively high frequency sound, and if they used any lower frequencies...they cut immediately after that.

Even if this was entrapment (not the legal definition) it would be the OSI doing it and they are well within their purview to test anyone holding a security clearance at any time. They do this often and people do get caught. You accept this risk and responsibility when you get a clearance or hold a position that has access to anything sensitive.
I wonder what a task looks like. They're supporting essentially adding a task to a machine every 2.5 seconds, which is a really high rate. It seems like most systems are built around slower resource reservation and then once resources have been reserved, they can pull from a queue for tasks assigned to it: E.g. Lambda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmacMfbrG28&t=123s

If you read some historical accounts of spies, I think you'll notice there is already a massive ego/excitement boost to be had, without involving Internet fame... It's not ay l clear whether online activity would move the needle, in terms of predicting leakers.

But more importantly... Participating in online communities, and caring about one's online presence, is statistically normal behavior for working-age people in first world countries with Internet access... Moreso the younger you get. But the point is, it's massively normal behavior.

So if you tried to use your questions to predict potential leakers, you're just playing the "Most serial killers eat bread" game.

In order for your question to be a useful predictor, it would have to have low rates of both false positives, and false negatives. That doesn't seem very likely.
Many wealthy areas dump their money into private schools and therefore don’t support high millage property taxes for public education. If you look around in Ohio at least, this generally evens the spending out on a per pupil basis.

You can approach software repair in a similar way to electronics repair, except you don't need to replace components, just fix them. Investigate which component is causing the issue, investigate which part of the component is causing the issue, modify/rebuild/reinstall the component, verify that the fix worked, done.
Yup. I work in health research, but as a software developer. I know I'm not a scientist or a doctor so I shouldn't shoot my mouth off about medical issues and pretend I'm an authority on the matter, but it gets hard.
The strange thing is, so far, you have to know about this to find it. If you just search "guitar tuner," it doesn't come up. You have to put "Google [instrument] tuner" with various instrument names or just "Google tuner."
When I snitched on Google for doing messed up things in the name of "equity" I felt much better about taking on the project in the first place.
For a great low-commitment experiment with minimalistic Linix, I'd recommend setting up PRoot with Termux on Android and then adding Arch repositories. You can treat it like a replacement for a mobile game and slowly build up your perfect mobile desktop environment.

There was a US Senator (John Breckinridge) who got expelled from the Senate for committing treason during the American Civil War. He did that by skipping out of the US Senate and joining the Confederate Army. He had quite a colorful career in the Confederacy while it lasted, fled to Europe after the war, and eventually returned to the US after the US gave a general amnesty to ex-Confederates in 1868. Wow.

How does a company fix itself? As far as I understand, society/state/country has laws that corporations are obligated to follow or else pay legal penalties. Sure, investors can demand the company follow certain directions but that may or may not be deemed sufficient by others. And then we are stuck in a perpetual cycle of pointing fingers.
They plant grad students on their research teams.
What other jobs are exempted from these restrictions though? Virtually every indoor worker is mandated to wear masks. And large employers will soon be required to mandate vaccination. There’s almost no where to work that doesn’t have restrictions in the US.
I've read an article about the project that's in the works to discourage future humans from digging up nuclear waste. It's a heck of a conundrum. Not that we shouldn't try, but I've got the feeling that no matter how we go about indicating that these sites are dangerous and that there is nothing to be gained by digging there, it's almost human nature to dig it back up. A primitive culture is probably the only kind that would heed the warnings laid down. Can you imagine modern humans stumbling upon something like the site that's being proposed? The only thing that might stop us before it's too late is if someone was smart enough to bring a Geiger counter.

It's obviously a place that the people who built it didn't want dug up. Just like all the ancient places that the people who built them didn't want dug up. Like the pyramids. We knew they were supposed to be dangerous and cursed and booby-trapped and whatnot. Didn't stop modern humans for a second.

I do really like the thought process, and again, I really want this to be a neat organization pushing people to think long-term. Unfortunately, when every project has the vast majority of people scratching their heads and trying to figure out what kind of drugs these folks are on, they're not really accomplishing much on that front.
Of course. My point is the mind of the actor is like "hurr durr, I did it for the lulz"

different angle (maybe unhelpful): which kinds of customers do you aim to market the API service to? e.g. if you're trying to sell to small businesses, the overwhelming majority of them may not be sophisticated enough to consume an API, but they might love having a simple UI instead. at the other end of the spectrum, if you're trying to sell to enterprises, maybe they want SLOs and SLAs and TLS and SSO to integrate with their existing user access solution(s) and ...

Web2 = renter
Web3 = owner

Whether it’s Bitcoin, DeFi, DAOs or NFTs Web3 allows you to participate in owning digital property at the protocol layer. Imagine if you could have profited directly from your early adopter curiosity and passion for the early internet by owning a part of the base layer, instead of waiting till the IPO where VCs and early shareholders take most of the profits before dumping their bags on the public.

That’s Web3
This isn't true at all. Some of the worst school districts in the country spend the most on a per student basis. Spending is not correlated with educational outcomes. Baltimore City for example spends like 18k per student and has very poor outcomes. Private school tuition on average only costs like 13k per year per student in Maryland.
Yes, and no - I mean yes on the founders obviously, hah, but more specifically treason was so narrowly defined because historically it was used as a general catch call for anyone doing anything the government (Crown) didn’t like. And since it had such a harsh penalty (death), it was used as a weapon of terror a lot.

Clearly and narrowly defining it in the constitution was a step to stop the clear abuses they had witnessed.

Look around even in this thread with everyone talking Treason.

That's disruption, in the sense intended by Clayton M. Christensen.

Walmart was never going to provide a better service than Whole Foods (or some equivalent-to-WF store that predates Walmart, since I'm sure there are some). But it might provide a service that's 80% as good, at 20% of the price. And if it does, you might buy it.

Are you under the impression that it's no longer possible to install a dedicated guitar-tuning Android app, or indeed that it's no longer possible to buy a dedicated guitar tuner?
It is an unrealized gain if you bought it and it appreciates. If you receive it in exchange for services, it is income. This is the same for non-crypto:

1. You buy an artwork by a famous artist for $10k and it appreciates to $20k. This is an unrealized gain and you are not taxed until you sell it. Note that trading one crypto for another is effectively a sale of the first crypto and a purchase of the second, such that you pay gain depending on the value of the second crypto at the time of the trade.

2. Someone gives you a $10k artwork as partial payment for some work you do, eg web design. This is income and taxed as if they paid you $10k. Mining crypto is also income I believe.

3. Someone gifts you an artwork worth $10k. You don’t pay tax.

Etc.

I would think the best way to characterize this transaction is that it is income, although it’s certainly unusual enough that I won’t say I’m certain.

Not tax advice / speak to your own accountant.
This real estate bubble won't pop
If the IRS asked for records or sources of the income, I would guess you can legally not answer those requests by pleading the 5th. Of course that would be a big red flag...
Of course not, at least not the same one(R.O.C. - which stands for Republic of China -, the government in Taiwan, is different from People's Republic of China).

This reminds me of a chemistry professor I had in undergrad in his 50's who repeatedly made vague remarks regarding his prior career in military intelligence (when students showed up late to class, he'd sometimes talk about the days when "Uncle Sam" would wake him up at 2AM to get on plane to an unknown destination.) It always struck me because I came from a military community and many of my teachers had served at one point or another, but nobody bragged about it like this guy did.

A couple years after I left school, he was arrested for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in various microscopes and other lab equipment and selling it all online. It was so bizarre seeing his mugshot on the front page of the local paper.
I’ve done LFS, and I recommend it, but another approach is to read the script for the basic Alpine installer and then work through it to build a system.
He addresses prerequisites specifically in the first lecture at this timestamp:

(You're expected to be comfortable understanding mathematical theorems and producing proofs.)
If he didn't transmit sensitive information, I don't see how he could be convicted of doing so. Maybe some other lesser charge of some kind? (The idea of prosecuting such a person for fraud is hilarious but seems unlikely).

I'm sure he wouldn't have a security clearance ever again.
This is merely a result of the democratization of basic services- now everybody can receive the same level of mediocrity.
Suppose I tell you - give me $50,000 and I will assassinate the president. If i never had intention of doing so, and just meant to keep the money, i dont know what crime this would be.

If you wanted to sue me foe fraud, you would be admitting to hiring an assasin
This seems constructive. Thank you for this comment and idea.
I imagine this is just some Google engineer's 20% project, and that they are really enthusiastic about guitars.

Also I can see this being useful in many cases, in case my battery was flat and I had to borrow someone's phone to tune up. I don't think that musicians will stop buying tuner apps because Google has one, a good tuner app is indispensable.
That’s why this article worrying about blurring stuff seems so silly. China, if they already didn’t know, are fully capable of re-finding it from the forum. The only ones who don’t know are the regular public so this veil of secrecy on French tank turn rates is entirely for ego.
I wonder if anybody has built a Computer Science curriculum from the OCW lectures in a playlist or some other form, so people could (in theory) follow the same path as an actual MIT grad from beginning to end.

I am more interested in increasing my theoretical knowledge and taking deep classes in algorithms, data structures, linear algebra, vector calculus, and other foundational CS stuff.
I was excited to read this, but was disappointed upon thinking further about the results. Is progress is measured by turnover in citations? It strikes me that the idea here is linked to the great-person concepts in history. It reminds me of a retrospective I recently read by T. Lomo, who is widely credited with the discovery of LTP. He said that many people ask why his original paper doesn't cite Hebb, who is usually described as the originator of plasticity theory. His response is that Hebb wrote down what everyone already knew, and that no one in the field found it worth citing for that reason. Of course modern neuroscience and machine learning people cite Hebbs work regularly but not Lomo and Bliss. Should we then infer that the research dollars given to Hebb were well spent and those that supported the experiments were not? An alternative view of progress would say that ideas are like accretion turning into a planet - a bunch of seemingly insignificant papers gravitate together and then someone says - "wait, there's a planet here!" But they didn't create the planet, and probably many of the individual rocks already understood exactly what was going on. But in the old days the gate keepers allowed the "this is a planet!" paper to gain influence/significance, but now 50 different people say the same thing but none of them win the credit battle...
i recently read "the bomb in my garden" by mahdi obeidi (sic) who was the head of the iraqi uranium enrichment effort under Saddam Hussein. they started out with nothing and had to do everything from scratch. they were able to spin their centrifuge up to 20k rpm or something like that before it flew apart. you need 50k to enrich uranium. spinning a tube at that speed requires sophisticated machinery and knowledge that can only be gained after decades of hard work. but Saddam insisted that enriched uranium be produced in only a few years in light of the situation with iran. and when he insisted something be done, people would do it or else be killed. and so this required the enrichment engineers to seek equipment and knowledge from more advanced states. its amazing how casual the process of getting these things was for them. at one point they gathered data from a book in the stacks of a college library, a book that was not meant to be lent out to anyone who wasnt willing to provide ID, by simply asking the librarian if she could hand over the book really quick just to be sure its the right book. a lot of the things that stand in the way of people trying to do these things arent super specific but are just things like having the ability to machine metal within a certain tolerance or produce bearings that are within a certain spec. but they they did get their hands on some very important design documents that allowed them to succeed in producing enriched uranium in a very short period of time. its a fantastic book.
If you receive it as income then it's taxable at that point at $ value. If you later sell or trade it you realize capital gains (or losses) and that is a further taxable event.

It is so embarrassing to hear fellow Americans quote the First Amendment as being the definition of freedom of speech when even a casual perusal of history points to the First Amendment being inspired from the more general principle of freedom of speech originating in the Enlightenment. We really need to have better education in this country.
I imagine popular accounts are subject to a lot more brigading and botnet attacks as well.
I'm always shocked seeing how little money an individual (private person or even politicians!) will require to be corrupted or do some awful, future hampering act.

30k$ for nuclear secrets? I've read O(100k) for corrupt high officials. That's not enough money to cover your future and retire on, but the consequences are that... you don't have a future anymore. I'd think people would need at least a couple millions?
This isn’t the type of case they are in a hurry to file in the back of a filing cabinet somewhere. This is the type of case they want to turn into a public flaying.
The committee didn't take Vittorio's Epoch proposal for C++ 20, and instead almost certainly doomed it permanently. Perhaps the committee will pay?

Without Epochs, C++ doesn't have a way to do what Rust does all the time with "editions". I expect you'll see a HN topic about it later this month, but Rust 2021 will follow Rust 2018 in "breaking" several Rust 1.0 (aka Rust 2015) features, knowing this is fine because those features still exist (and work just fine) in previous editions.

When Rust 1.0 shipped myArray.into_iter() was clearly referring to the reference, ie (&myArray).into_iter() since (&myArray) implements IntoIterator whereas back then myArray did not. There will be code out there that does this, and of course we can't very well just break it because it's ugly.

So, even though today's arrays implement IntoIterator, myArray.into_iter() is still treated as (&myArray).into_iter() to keep that old code working as expected. Well, you get a warning these past few months, but that's still what the code does.

Until Rust 2021. In Rust 2021, arrays have "always" implemented IntoIterator, so myArray.into_iter() just does what you'd naturally expect it to.

This is possible with editions, because as I said, all the old code is still working under the edition it was written for even on shiny new compilers. If somebody wants to update that code (perhaps they want a feature from a newer edition), there is tooling to help them, but if not it'll compile as it is under the old edition indefinitely.
This couple just wrecked their lives and you have a story to tell. But regardless of their curent reputation, he may have meant what he said and wanted to genuinely help you but in the wrong way.

No part of the story told in this indictment fits the definition of "entrapment". The case started when the FBI interdicted secrets being sent to a foreign intelligence agency.
