There are not a lot of things from JavaScript that I would love to see ported to Ruby, but ES6 imports is one of them.

It isn't too easy to actually "see" a mountain without active sonar that you don't use while on patrol in a submarine. They also don't have windows...

I believe there are some modern sensors that could have helped, but it is questionable that they were installed.

This sound far more like saving face and maybe even incompetence by higher officer ranks.
Heh, you think this is about accountability? This was like a politically motivated move by someone who saw an opportunity to remove a senior officer they didn’t like.
> You may not agree with this use of the technology, but it does not mean the behaviour is primarily criminal.

Again, don't be disingenuous. You're literally commenting on a post on how the IRS requires transactions over 10k to be reported with the goal of fighting money laundering, and how that raises "alarm bells". This is not about paying artists. This is not about paying taxes. This is about a requirement to report potentially illegal transactions within the scope of money laundering.

Trying to spin this to be about art and artists is profoundly disingenuous, and launching ad hominem attacks on those who point out this fact just shows how weak are your arguments.

I'm waiting right now for an Astro Slide 5G transformer that could cover that niche (not sure about the dual screen, but it can do at least one). It can boot either to Android or Linux, and has two usb-c ports (as well as a full qwerty keyboard).

Can't say if it will be good or not, as we haven't still received the device from the crowdfounding, but the production has already started so it shouldn't be long.
I agree with your first paragraph, but I think there are significant political and logistic headwinds to being able to solve that problem in the classroom. Namely, I think it is a sociopolitical problem starting at home that is far greater in scope than a school can provide a solution for.

So while schools have to keep passing kids that should be failing for reasons outside of their control, I think the next best option is to keep giving those who can advance quicker an option to keep advancing quicker.

Could you expand on this? I contrast the then contemporary government against the reign of Bloody Mary, and it's hard to see how it could have been as bad as what Papists would surely have done.

I would argue that the scope of education is to improve and spread knowledge.

Politics might be important for society but it is not within the scope of education. Unless you make education about politics and forget knowledge.
The article doesn’t explain it neurologically either other than saying “more brain connections means long time to traverse the brain” which is just a bunch of handwaving.

Depends on the time frame of the debt. If most of it is in multiyear bonds then a bad year or two is not so dire, though I agree that the US has some structural challenges coming over the next two decades.

Also, one of the things I don't really understand is why people in the US quote debt to GDP ratios when net debt to GDP is strictly superior.
Without good maps and only passive sonar you can very well hit a mountain. Subs want to evade detection so active sensory is offline most of the time. Perhaps the situation would have merited that they don't dive as deep in uncharted territory, but subs usually only see things that make noise and mountains are quite silent.

Dungeons and Dragons Is a Case Study in How Capitalism Kills Art
In India many kids learn 3 languages by the time they are in lower elementary school: when the school’s medium of education is English, they have English. Hindi is often taught as a second language in school. And on top of that the kids know their own local language from their parents if that is different from Hindi.

Hi: NextDNS is the gold-standard and many capable alternatives have cropped up in its wake in the recent times like windscribe's controld.com but RethinkDNS is not it.

Our primary objective is anti-censorship, and so, we make it simple for folks to deploy their own DoH (which means all our code is open source). Today, the serverless DoH stub resolver deploys to cloudflare workers but we plan to support deno.com/deploy and fly.io soon (already have it working in our development branches but the incompatibility between node and deno is causing a bit of pain to merge with mainline). RethinkDNS is the reference serverless DoH deployment, if you will.

We support DNS-based content-blocking too (out of sheer need for it from our users) but believe the right avenue to block content is either in-app where possible (like uBlockOrigin in Firefox) or at the IP-layer (not DNS), and hence we also build a Firewall (due to limited time, the RethinkDNS + Firewall app is Android-only, for the time being [1]).

That said, we do plan to achieve parity with NextDNS, but that's going to happen over a period of time since our team of 3 is stretched thin between building the firewall (too much complexity!) and the dns (too much work!).

> Of course, NFTs can be used for money laundering as well but art is presumably already used for that purpose.

Modern art is primarily driven for the purpose of money laundering.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/29/business/art-money-launde...

NFTs are just a new way to conduct the same money laundering schemes which, loopholes and the lack of regulation, are easier to hide and exploit.

This recent change adopted by the IRS is just a way to address that loophole, and lo and behold it's spun as a deadly attack on the purposefulness of the entire technology.
Oh my god that’s exactly what I do. Additionally: turn all iCloud syncing off, turn off Siri and the Siri settings for each app.
Responsibility for outcome is old naval tradition, both merchant navy and military. Captain is responsible for everything that happens. Even for some things outside their control.

Responsibility for outcome is different from responsibility derived from intent and capability.

South China Sea is hard to navigate. It's not completely mapped, seafloor mapping must be even less complete. When submarine travels using only passive sonars it's effectively blind. The collision could be due to error or just captain taking risk to fulfill the mission. There is always some regulation that they break.

> But this is how our system has operated for a long time and we see today the effects on our society. Some high performers, but many many people who lack even basic principles of mathematics. Do you think this is okay, or should things change?

I would pin this on widening income/wealth gaps, family problems at home, cultural differences, and other non advanced class related reasons. I dismiss the concept because I think trying to attack a problem not at the root is a waste of time, and in this case, actually harmful.

The big elephant in the room with all these problems is wealth and power redistribution, but that is untouchable so efforts are redirected to things like this.

No, product/dev disconect was there quite often for years. Red Hat has kinda been living off the unix-to-linux migration that happened in early 2000s, and because I think we didn't wan to become the kind of company that just maintains legacy kernel for banking mainframes, we spent most of the 2010s comming up with ideas to see what gains traction. And sometimes these ideas were ... oversold ... to our potential customers?

Despite how nice I find the culture at Red Hat, it definitely isn't lacking in some of the corporate disconnects that sometimes happen. Like, I think we are working on it and it differs from team to team, but it still is there :)

Other than that, I don't see much change in the culture in general.
The old gauges had wires to a harness, which became very complex. A modern harness could be uncorrodable fiber from the sensor, with a laser counter shining down the same fiber with a small solar cell sealed in the sensor for power to a laser aggregator with a line to the CPU/dash where the data is displayed. Separate small screens tasked to a set of sensors could work, possibly meaning a smaller main display.
Displays are cheap, so I can see some potential. I see many Chinese as well as Japanese ecars with smaller screens - hard to say how it will settle?
Seconded. My company offers this and it's a great resource.
I was a bit happy for sometimes getting help with reviewing homework and someone to practice English words with (that is, one of my parents). And who reminded me of things I'd forgotten, be it homework or the sports bag.

Some people here (not you) seem to think that one shoe fits all -- that because they didn't want the parents to be involved, that's what best for everyone.

A GitOps operator for Kubernetes focused on simplicity
I'm building a GitOps operator for Kubernetes focused on simplicity.

Now its functional but with many things on the roadmap which are available in the TODO file of the repository (https://github.com/caldito/soup).

It uses SSA (https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/server-side-a...) to perform the deployment and has other cool features.
I've never been a part of any of those fandoms, but it was always curious to me how open-source alternatives didn't obliterate things like Warhammer, Magic cards, or things like that.

>the goal is still to provide as much background as possible

Sure, we can say that as an ideal but we still have to convert the "as much background as possible" into an actionable concrete curriculum.

The issue is a finite amount of time to teach a list of topics and the bias in 99% of recommendations is to always say "kids should be taught X" but we never frame it in the opposite way to reveal the inherent tradeoffs : "kids should be denied being taught Y so that time is used to teach X":

In other words, any recommendation that kids "must learn topic X" means we're silently omitting Y. It's an inherent optimization problem of what to do with limited time window in classrooms. That's why some college Calculus professors recommend switching out Calc I for a Statistics/LinearAlgebra. They're not saying calculus is unimportant. Instead, they're treating it as optimizing the best bang-for-the-buck math topics for 17-year olds.

We can do a lot of radical thinking regarding optimization of high school curriculums. E.g. I've always thought that a semester of dissecting advertisements in newspapers and tv commercials and how they manipulate you would be an excellent class for teenagers. But devoting time to that comes at the expense of something else. Therefore, I'd recommend substituting Shakespeare's plays Romeo & Juliet and Julius Caesar with "Media Manipulation Studies" but of course, some people would complain "how can you possibly understand Western Civilization and humanities without studying Shakespeare?!?". Maybe true but making kids study Shakespeare also means we're denying them <Other_Really_Important_Topics> because there's always a constraint of finite time.
I'm will absolutely concede that it may work and we should try anyway. But correlation != causality.

Raising taxes beyond a certain point tends to decrease the total tax haul as those with lots of money move income to other jurisdictions and some of others work less, leaning harder on social system (further increasing the public debt).

And most Palestinians are recent (2-3 generations at most) immigrants into Palestine. They also mostly come from Arab countries.

Ethnically there is no real difference, to the point that a disguised Jew or Muslim, provided they know the other language well, can blend in without any problem, even for longer periods. Which is a big problem for catching terrorists.

And it's even the case that when it comes to habits, even religious habits, there's a lot shared between Jews and Muslims that does not actually date back to ancient Judaism or come from Islam, but are for example not-that-old Iraki or Yemeni customs.
The key was really what the banks would do with excess reserves. If regulators and the Fed had followed Krugman type advice, they would have encouraged or pushed the banks to increase lending again on those massive reserves. Instead they encouraged the banks to sit on the reserves and so that they could pass extreme 'stress tests.'

The current situation is like a permanent stress test combined with the already passed COVID relief bills encouraging aggressive lending. So they are basically following the dovish nostrum and we are getting the consequences that were warned about. It's a bit of a red herring to say that the stalled super-spending bills will push inflation off a cliff. That gun has already been fired. You would have to roll back the banking stuff in the emergency relief bills and raise rates to, uh, stuff the bullet back in the gun. The super-spending bills won't pass, but honestly both parties have an interest in obscuring their collective responsibility for the runaway inflation.

Another thing that isn't mentioned much outside of FX circles is that the USD is sharply down versus the Yuan. Typically China has been criticized for enthusiastically printing Yuan to improve their export competitiveness. Instead we have record imports from China combined with a substantially more expensive Yuan.

I only know one guy who's written in depth about this, Tony Heller. Here's one example article but click through the titles at the top and there are others. At some point I downloaded the raw data tables from a NASA (or was it NOAA? I forget) FTP site and re-ran one of his analyses, which was valid, so that increased my confidence in the graphs he presents.

https://realclimatescience.com/alterations-to-the-us-tempera...

He shows the data has been heavily altered in various ways. Sometimes he shows it by finding and downloading "raw" data tables and graphing them over the top of the publicly released graphs. Sometimes by searching newspaper or web archives for old temperature graphs and showing that the historical data in modern graphs has been altered vs what was once being published.

Very occasionally other people notice this too. Retraction Watch is a blog that normally just writes about retracted scientific papers but here they noticed that July was reported as the hottest on record, but that the same government agency had previously reported another record breaking temperature that was higher than July's:

https://retractionwatch.com/2021/08/16/will-the-real-hottest...

How is it possible for a temperature to "break records" when it is lower than previously reported temperatures? NOAA explains:

"NOAAGlobalTempv5 is a reconstructed dataset, meaning that the entire period of record is recalculated each month with new data. Based on those new calculations, the new historical data can bring about updates to previously reported values. These factors, together, mean that calculations from the past may be superseded by the most recent data and can affect the numbers reported in the monthly climate reports."

This is normal for climatology. When a new month's data is added they don't just append it to the prior data tables. They re-calculate every temperature in the dataset using the latest modelling software. Climatology, as a science, cannot actually tell us "how hot was it on this day 10 years ago" because there are many different answers.

This is already a terrible, terrible problem for their credibility. But the worst thing of all is that these adjustments are so large that they materially change the entire shape of the 20th century temperature history. Decades ago, global temperature graphs showed a long period of declines starting around WW2. Hence why global cooling was such a big topic in the 60s (incidentally, Heller's site shows ample archival evidence that this was indeed mainstream climatology back then). But if you look at modern temperature graphs, you cannot see any such decline. It's been erased from the historical record.
I’ve wondered for a while if the fans coming on due to dual monitors is a software / driver issue that could be fixed by a patch. It would save me from buying a new machine right now.
