It depends -- in some areas there's schools called "magnet schools" that are public, free schools that you can test into. I went to a high school like that. In New York there's a lottery system for magnet schools instead of tests, I believe. However, magnet schools still have a "feeder area" like regular schools, just a larger one -- I drove ~45 minutes to my high school, whereas my regular high school was 10 minutes away.

A lot of this is due to how US schools are funded, which is primarily by property taxes. That plays into the strict location requirements, since you could imagine a small school funded by a small property tax base being overwhelmed by students from outside the school's tax base choosing to go there and not having funding to support them. It also plays into the quality discrepancies: wealthy areas have nicer houses and therefore pay higher property-tax-per-capita (sort of, there's also racial discrimination dynamics here), so schools in wealthy areas have more money per student and can hire better teachers, have better teacher:student ratios, nicer equipment, etc. There's some state/federal funding of schools I think, but most funding is from property taxes, at least in the places I've lived.

In general, I think most confusion non-Americans have about the US stems from confusion about how our government works: in a very real way schools are run by counties and towns, not federal or state governments. School boards are elected, and schools are mainly run on a local level. Asking why a student can't choose to go to a different school is a bit like asking why a German student can't choose to go to a French high school -- there's an administrative barrier between them.
Trump didn’t make the vaccine a wedge issue, he made COVID a wedge issue by repeatedly calling it a political lie (which resulted in vaccines becoming a wedge issue).

I suspect the confusion between your perspective and that of the previous commenter is a result of the difficulty Trump experienced in trying to promote a vaccine for an illness he was himself at the same time claiming does not exist.
I'm sure everybody has a different takeaway, but here's mine: make sure hospice is on the table, and read between the lines about what the different doctors are telling you. Do extensive research and advocate on your mother's behalf. There are doctors who specialize in hospice and you want to bring them to the table early even if the prognosis is currently good.

I'd go to meetings with my Mom's cancer team and hear totally different things than she and my dad did. They both viewed everything in the rosiest possible light. The oncologist even said at one point something along the lines of "a lot of doctors wouldn't consider treatment in this situation" (an acknowledgement of how unlikely success was) but they could only hear "there's a possibility it could add months or even over a year."

Cancer treatment can be absolutely brutal. Perform a real cost benefit analysis on whether the treatment adds any real value. Try to make family members understand that gaining a few months of a tormented existence may not be worth it. Make a list of important things for your mother and focus on seeing those through.

In the end, I was the only advocate for moving to hospice rather than treating. I did not advocate strongly enough. My mother was dead four months from diagnosis, after suffering all the symptoms of chemo in addition to the inevitable decline that comes with the disease. I think the worst thing about it is she kept so much hope up until the very end, focusing on clawing out every extra second of life at any cost rather than making her peace and coming to terms with reality. She ended up in hospice after all - but rather than starting there in a peaceful environment, she fought every painful step of the way in endless medical corridors and care facilities, until she had a stroke that took away her mental faculties to the point that she couldn't even appreciate what was happening. My family all lives with regret on this point.

Don't let that happen to your family.
There was an article specifically which explained that about remdesivir in really clear language but apparently it isn't there anymore.

Here's a scholarly article on the evolution of synthesis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8340098/
Hang in there, my mom recovered from advanced breast cancer few years back so i can understand what you are going through from your words it seems you're more worried than you should be..chemo works, radiation works, she will be back to normal in less time than it may appear to take at this moment.
Totally missing the point. A good web framework lets you get running with a few lines but then allows you to add custom logic with minimal incidental complexity.
Oh cool TIL. Yeah I didn't describe it well. The most egregious examples are: characters speaking Japanese while wearing Imperial Pacific uniforms and American pilots wearing aviators+bomber jackets, while fighting in the snowy mountains of Narvik, Norway.

Very nice app. A few suggestions after using it a bit:

Remove names: Unknown, Unnamed, Unk and Unborn
(Some of these have dupes with typos)

Add an option to not show twice names that are unisex, they should show only once but maybe with a multi colored card. This is useful for two things:
1. actually looking for unisex names (or avoiding them - a filter?), so you don't need to keep in mind or search on both sexes
2. Reduce the amount of total names to review

Also something to help reduce yet more variations, an option to group similar or very close related names together. Ex. I saw Ulisses then Ulysses then Uulisses and so on.

And lastly, a way to sort by popularity, so that I can review the less (or most) popular first.

Anyway, great app and congratulations for the baby.

I guess by normal I just mean what my family members might be used to coming from Windows. XFCE is much better in that regard but the GNOME2 workflow that MATE seems to stick to is not quite easy to pick up from them, so it involves either configuring panels myself or getting a hold of the MATE Tweak tool to change the layout to Redmond or whatever.
This wouldn't work for a lot of people, especially visual ones like Deaf people. I have learnt to read cues in faces. This was useful to understand my children, for example.

So not so genius after all I am afraid.
> Hmmm.... so you're arguing that it doesn't take years of time and billions of dollars to bring a drug to market?

You just made a straw-man argument.

I posted a 2 lines comment highlighting the fact that cost and opportunity cost are two very different things, to the point that the claim that taking a drug to market costing literally billions of dollars to poor drug companies can be taken with a grain of salt.

You main take-away was that I am "arguing that it doesn't take years of time and billions of dollars to bring a drug to market".

That would suggest an oscillation - network effects to inflate network sizes, abuse, mismanagement, frustration, disruption, creation of a new paradigm. Lather, refactor, repeat?
I work on React Aria. Adobe is a big company and there are many teams using different technologies. In general, some very new parts of creative cloud chose to use web components, but the majority of teams are using React, and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon. It's definitely not a company wide shift if you got that impression from the Photoshop article. Ideally we'd collaborate more, but... big company silos.

Many people make a living off being expert witnesses; often medical experts, computer experts, and others with subject matter expertise.
Reviews in Vouch refer to a particular version of a software package. If a new release is issued by a malicious actor, the new release would require a new review.

But the review process does not need to re-start from scratch. Reviews from other versions can be used to lessen the workload.

On the subject of automatically updating packages: the Vouch dependency analysis can be included in CI. Un-reviewed or review failing dependency updates can be flagged for attention.
I wouldn't say this is the reason. Embedded systems typically don't have virtual memory to start.

I would expect (but verify) a malloc implementation on embedded to return null if it can't satisfy the allocation.

But even with that assumption malloc in embedded is often a bad idea. You need to plan for worst case anyway and you can not afford memory fragmentation.
>but if it raises the costs of attacks, and protects more people that it harms, then it is worthwhile.

But how does it raise the cost of attacks? I don't see why it would be harder for someone uploading a malicious package to embed said malicious code in the index.js instead of in the install scripts.
This is also, in similar theme to my other comment, because high schools aren't standardized and have often wildly different curricula, even between high-quality high schools. Colleges do a ton of work to smooth this out, from offering high-school courses for freshmen to re-normalizing GPAs to account for different grading scales between schools.
Oh, you mean to have reviewers look at every line of every version (at least cumulatively). Yes, that would work, and while the effort is significant I appreciate that it's the effort you'd want regardless so this helps share the load.
I have gone through this situation. In 2002 my mother passed away from cancer.

It was by far the hardest and lowest point in my life.

I won't go on about all the difficulties because they're too painful and personal to me, and your mother may not be terminal, but mine was so I'll speak from that experience. Here's what I wish I would have done more of:

1. Spend as much time as possible. Lay by her, watch TV, eat together. Just being in the same room is important. I'd give anything to go back and spend more time.

2. Try not to argue, even if she's taking our her fear, anger, etc on you. Her emotions might be all over the place. Resist the urge to need her and let her depend on you for emotional support. Hug her instead of fight with her.

3. Lots of back and head rubs, foot massages.

4. Pick up the slack as much as possible. It can get bad--you might need to change diapers, clean bedpans, and clean vomit. Those are powerful acts of love from a child to a mother.

5. Tell her as often as possible how lucky you were to have her as your mother.
Sometimes the experimental drug has unexpected side-effects or is less effective than the placebo. Both sides of the trial are a gamble. It is a trial because literally nobody knows for sure what the outcome will be -- only an informed guess that the new treatment is a good idea.

When trials are extremely effective, they are sometimes halted and rolled out early. That sounds like exactly what Pfizer is attempting to do here. The company thinks that they have a clear-enough signal to be worth going to the press and preparing FDA for the EUA.

Pfizer will have made an embarrassing error if the final trial-results turn out to differ with their claims, but if they don't, then Pfizer has given a several-week head start to rolling the drug out to all patients.
I've taken this one step further and I now use a full-on burner credit card. It has no autopay or reoccurring payments associated with it so I could light it on fire and not be too upset about it.

I' have all my autopayments set up on a specific card that never leaves a drawer in my house.

End result is that when the burner card gets compromised, as it does several times a year at gas pumps and such, I toss it out, get a new one and it's not all that painful. The autopayment card has yet to be compromised.

I wish it were easier to get temporary card numbers without giving someone else access to my purchase data.
On the contrary, I find writing embedded GUIs enjoyable. Sure, it's harder, but also very rewarding. You need an event queue, so you can handle internal and external events the same way. The rest is "just" programming.
"We could do computing your way, but it'd be phenomenally more expensive"

It must be viable - Windows prevents overcommit. But it has slow child-process-creation (edit: previously said "forking"), and this steers development towards native threads which is its own set of problems.

I had never previously joined the dots on the point pcwalton makes at the top of this thread. It is a dramatic trade-off.
It takes a lot of work to find the right projects to invest money into...or if even less hands off then the right financial advisor to put their money with. Most "rich" people don't just sink their money into a ETF or mutual fund and call it a day.

This. Being antivax when one has 93% if not facing the virus ≠ refusing drugs when infected. At that point, it’s worth doing everything because the risk is realized.
If you build it, they will come.
They're reading into the data backwards. Most people will be more likely to switch jobs if they find one that pays more.

The take-away is those who can get more tend to quit more.

There is the other side too where those 'considering quitting' are more likely to find out they can get more. But then the headline is those who find out what they can get in the market get more increases which comes as a shock to no one.
We've done real-time JavaScript UIs for several projects where the hardware is slick enough to host a REST API or a WebSockets server. It's worked well, making it easy to access devices from a kiosk browser or remotely. It also enables communication between devices across the same API layer, and by decoupling the UI from the application and control planes, it allows us to iterate super quickly with familiar tools.
Thanks. You definitely don't want the junction temp anywhere near 125c, the leakage would be very high. I thought most processors in due temp was 75-85c max, and will throttle severely if it goes above that.

We are definitely spoiled on modern systems. But imo, this convenience is unreasonably costly. It is baffling to me that modern devices with ghz clock rates can hardly render guis and websites responsibly. At the moment everyone swoons over the new M1 processors. Not too long and those performance gains will also be lost to costly abstractions and badly written code. I'm not very optimistic this will change in the near future.

Your right, of course.
Having sat in data presentations from credit card companies, the extent of the data that credit card companies have is incredibly detailed. For those customers who they don't make money on from interest and fees alone, I would imagine that data more than covers the difference. These customer are still VERY desirable from a data perspective.

While there are legitimate tracking concerns, the data the credit card companies capture and disseminate is incredibly fascinating. You've got spending data, layered with market segments, layered with location data (both on the cardholder and the business side), and even time of day. Overlay all that with very accessible data from the Census or ESRI, and they can really tell a significant story of how money flows through the modern economy. This is what's feeding the internal fraud detection engines (which have gotten a lot better), but there are also private institutions that are more than willing to pay the credit cards a hefty sum to get access to all this data.
I worked at a place where I couldn't download Linux and install it, I had to buy it from somewhere. I bought whatever the latest version of Redhat was, and then I downloaded the latest from their site (since I'd have to update anyway), and nobody questioned it even though I installed it way before the software actually got delivered.

On the other hand, I bought the most expensive version I could ($139 vs $49 or $79, just to throw some money Redhat's way)
Yeah. And the issue is that the actual problem happens sometime later when the application actually tries to use that memory. So you replaced an error that is relatively simple to handle with something that is impossible to handle reliably.

So the operating system very much doesn't like to admit it doesn't have physical memory to back the area you are trying to use. Now it does not have a simple way to signal this to the application (there is no longer an option to return an error code) and so either everything slows down (as OS hopes that another process will return a little bit of memory to get things going for a little while) or one of the processes gets killed.
Well, I think you're getting close, but you still seem to be coming at this from a place of presumed superiority, mostly due to the separation of fears into 'rational' vs 'irrational'. Part of TFA is that they were not given enough information - is it irrational to fear some one stabbing your eye just because they are also confident that it will be for your betterment? From your water example it is clear also that you've learned that some water is safe to open your eyes in and built confidence in that knowledge - what if you hadn't had those experiences? Where I grew up the water was painfully cold, frequently polluted, and silty enough that I wouldn't be surprised if you got a scratch on your eye from doing that. I learned to open my eyes in the water in a public pool and discovered that I could do so with only minor irritation. If the chemical balance had been different that probably would not have been the case.

I think another perspective that might be helpful is to think of this in terms of the flinch reflex. Anyone can control theirs (this is an emotional process, sure), but the difficulty involves how sensitive they are, how strong the input is, how necessary they deem the action, and how afraid they are of potential consequences. Again, I don't think 'rational' or 'irrational' comes into play here or explains anything extra, I think in your case for example you are probably not jumpy (overly sensitive), and confident that your outcomes will be acceptable. I think the author was probably a little jumpy and was not confident in the outcome of an eye-poke.
I used to think that, but I'm not sure. If we're generating enough interchange/fees (or other forms of revenue that aren't so obvious) for them, it might be worth it.

I pay $550 annually for one card, but I easily pay for that (and then some) through statement credit and redeeming points. The net value I get out of the card is well over $1k per year. But it's not clear to me whether or not the issuer makes that back via other means. Just they aren't making that back from me. I expect card issuers are very very much aware of customers just like me, and are able to financially justify my existence.
If you're smart, the answer is yes, over reliance on statistical multiplexing scares the shit out of you, because it's all fun and games till the check is due.
You may have already done this, but in case if not.

The pickup pattern is going to be mostly right in front of the mic, with the best rejection from the rear. Keep in mind the mic will also pick up reflections if there is a wall close behind you.

So ideally you’d sit in front of the mic with no wall or a wall at an oblique angle behind you, and your wife across the room directly behind the mic.
No. I'm not going to use something because it is based on web-whatever, just as I am not going to use or not use a service because it uses or does not use mongodb.

The scope of noalias semantics can be formalized quite precisely by using separation logic, which can also act as a simpler and more elegant foundation for Rust's reference semantics and the so-called borrow-checker. Future editions of Rust will probably do this at some point in order to gain these benefits.
