No. Every state is different, and even within states, every county/city can be different, and even within county/city, different school districts can be different. My city of 200k people has two different school districts led by different people. I am assuming there are some standards tied to federal government funding, or maybe standards at the state level.

Generally though, you want to live in the more expensive parts of town because those schools will be better managed (and obviously have a more capable cohort of students due to them being kids of richer parents). When buying a house, the basic question all couples with kids face is "what is the least expensive house in the most expensive neighborhood" in order for their kids to attend the better schools (assuming the parents are not rich enough to send them to $20k+ per year private schools).

It is one of the reasons the SAT and Advanced Placement test scores is (or was back in my day) so prominent in determining admittance to college. They are optional tests that kids take to show their proficiency.

I was considering an XPS and read through the Dell subreddits. People were constantly complaining how their machine was throttled and even opened it up to apply better cooling paste, undervolted it and so on.

I have a hard time believing that one company is doing miracle work in a small and light laptop. That's also true in the other direction - I don't really believe that Apple's machines deliver desktop performance on battery remaining cool and quiet over longer times...
rejecting natural aptitude is ridiculous for sure. It needs to be recognized but it also does not necessarily need to be segregated. People learn from being around smart peers. The important thing imo is to hold _all_ students to a higher bar so that concepts like multiplication tables are drilled in the same year they are taught, not being reviewed in 6th grade

I remember visiting Sri Lanka a while back and seeing in massive letters on the side of a school: 'Education is the only path to success'. I asked myself why I never, ever saw this kind of simple reinforcement during my schooling in the UK. The conspiracy theorist in me would say it suits them to deny the riff raff the tools to see through the diet of bullshit they serve us on a daily basis.
Our company just got one and I am honestly unsure what is its purpose beyond being able to say 'see, we are doing stuff'. I am not sure I am even being cynical here. I am relatively certain it is basically a business need now to appear like you are doing something.

That said, I have zero idea why diversity manager would interview anyone.. it is not like I am going to change my demographic based on it..
Sort of, it's complicated, but that's also not related to what GGP said? They were claiming parents could choose schools, which is not true (at least, in most of the US). Whether schools are pf consistent quality (they aren't really) is a separate issue.

No, but a device does broadcast a list of ‘hidden’ SSIDs you have set to auto connect. Does anybody still use these?
Nah, I don't think "interesting" has intrinsic value. The kind of "interesting" / "surprising" quality that I claim smartphones deliver better than anything in natural world, is a kind of cognitive equivalent to sugar. For the most of the history of our species, sugar was a good proxy for "nutritious", and in the same way, sensory input being interesting/surprising was a good proxy for "important for survival". Today, both sugar and interesting experiences are superstimuli - they tend to be found in most abundance in things of little value.
Ha! Thanks.
While the core point holds, that scientific literacy pays off, more discrimination is required about the other side of liberal arts:

-- the full realm of human development should be cultivated, and

-- there is a crisis in some broad instances of higher education.

For example, with reference to the parent: you /should/ discuss politics: only, productively.

You do not want your society to be well trained in engineering but underdeveloped in other human qualities fundamental in civilization.
> Apple tries very hard to convince everyone that it owns all the relationships between app developers and their users

That's the critical issue. Why should Apple be able to own users? It's such an offensive idea. If I buy an iPhone then I'm actually a product that gets sold to software developers. Imagine paying to be the product. At least other companies give out stuff for free when they do that.

So a simple extension/mime check won't cut it.
It's not a thing, this is just a term made up on the spot by the author of this article to describe a component library that has no built-in style.

"What does it even do then" you ask. It implements basic accessibility patterns so you only deal with high level UI elements and not have to worry about having the correct `role-` or `aria-` attributes. That and composite elements such as tabs or modals

Why no style? Most product teams have a design system and they actually overwrite the style of component libraries anyway. So better to have component libraries without style, less bloat.
In my limited experience, it's natural to learn things by looking at a problem I want to solve, looking at solutions, and then looking at how to adapt solutions. That's pretty much a high-level to low-level progression. Once you reach a low-level understanding (calculus in this example) that opens a lot of doors, but it's hard for me to imagine starting there. That said I've never been good at schools and this experience is from learning on my own. I think there are people who have found ways to make "low to high-level" learning work well for them.
"The data mentioned does not show if the problem is in the schools or the Black/Latino students picking such schools"

This wording is so wrong. You can't say that the Black/Latino Students are the problem in any context. You can't say Race-People-problem. Can't.

Everyone loves to say depends on your threat model so lets define "tied to your real identity".

1. the number everyone you have met since you were 12 has in their contacts.

2. the number a few people have but you also use for you facebook account.

3. the number nobody / no tech has but you have provided your legal id to the network provider.

4. the number nobody / no tech has and you gave the network provider a burner email for.

5. the number nobody / no tech has that you paid for in cash while wearing a wig and glasses half way across town. You put into a new, paid for in cash phone, activated and used briefly while carrying no other electronic devices while disguised and avoiding cctv.

6. the inbound phone number in the lobby of the ritz carlton.

Some of those are better than using 'firstname.lastname' as you identifier. 1&2 are definately public numbers 4&5&6 are not.

#3 in the real world is semi-anonymous - for those with real privacy needs, they should be taking many other precautions and shouldnt be carrying a tracking device or using a single phone number or service irrespective of it being in their name or someone elses or nobody at all. For privacy LARPERS of course it is not at all anonymous.
Correct if I'm wrong, but I think it's really hard to evaluate it through a zoom talk, unless a candidate comes to a job interview wanting to make a clear point about his/her views. I was expecting more of a presentation about the company's views in that matter.

Thinking on the hiring process as a CI pipeline, I think filtering out people that cannot code is easier and less time consuming, than going through some 1:1 call with their diversity manager.
i mean it in the sense of not being okay with underperforming students year after year such that they drag their peers down. have higher standards for the whole class from the start, otherwise problems compound. This is what we have now, where every year basic concepts that should already be understood need to be rehashed for half the year before moving on to actual new material

there are bound to be truly exceptional students that far outpace everyone else, but in those cases i dont think its entirely fair to expect schools to fully accommodate such outliers. historically such prodigies resort to self-study
The main differences are probably the compilers involved, which tend to be layered based on how often a routine gets called (starting interpreted, then using a fast-but-dumb JIT compiler, then a slow-but-smart JIT compiler).

There are many JVMs, each operating slightly differently, but the HotSpot JIT seems to be the most widely used (e.g. https://cl4es.github.io/2019/11/20/OpenJDK-Startup-Update.ht... )

Node runs on V8, which is described in more detail at https://v8.dev/blog/ignition-interpreter

Another big diffence is that Java does lots of special handling for classes, e.g. hooking up 'reflection' machinery, allowing dynamic 'class loaders', etc. which happens during an application's startup.

In contrast, Javascript 'classes' are basically just functions (constructors); and Javascript functions are values just like anything else; hence there's less of an up-front cost to JS code. Python works in pretty much the same way from a language level (but its CPython interpreter works very differently to V8).
You are correct. It's strange to criticize Netflix for owners pulling their content.

Laptops command higher margins. They will want to milk the market with their Pro/Max laptops and then release Minis and larger iMacs next year.

Also, even a huge company like Apple would want to stagger releases so design teams can have some constant workload. Releasing laptops and a new Mini and a new iMac would put quite some work on the team and then it would be idle for a time. They are probably done with the Mini and working on a Mac Pro right now.

> there isn't much value in teaching them more complex formulas without also teaching them the needed background to properly understand those formulas.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I believe with a strong background in algebra and simply knowing how to take an integral and derivative you can go far in stats. Will you be an expert? Obviously not, but high school level stats knowledge can easily be attained.
To be honest, I don't believe we should adapt defaults to fit a single digit percentage population. I'm not dyslexic and the fonts suggested are horrible to read in my opinion. I'm totally for the option to set different fonts as default so dyslexic users have an easier life, but the global default should not be changed because of this.

That's an incredibly ignorant remark.

Art has been one of the more prominent uses of NFTs that emerged this year. Despite the relative immaturity of the technology, it has already proven transformative for many artists and non-profit art organizations.

...and then they are surprised with "The Great Resignation" and that people don't want to get hired anymore and that they gave up.

I remember a time when I would go to an interview and be asked the following questions:

Interviewer: Do you want to work?
Me: Yes, of course!
Interviewer: You like learning new things?
Me: Always.
Interviewer: Is it OK to start on Monday?
Me: Sure thing (!), why not?
Interviewer: Welcome to FooExample.
Me: Thank you very much; see you on Monday.

Honestly that was it, nothing complicated, nothing fancy.

If a candidate didn't seem competent or effective for a position, by the end of the week warning signs were given to them and if they weren't honest with their management, by the end of the month they were let go; as simple as that.

The total number of employees used for the interview cost more than hiring one candidate for one month, don't they understand nor see that?

Depends on how much handwaving you're willing to tolerate. There's definitely some useful statistics you can do without showing the integral sign.

One could similarly say "How far can you get in statistics without measure theory? Or do you just take the definition of random variable as given?". It's still hand-waving, just at a different level.

I looked again in their initial email. I was expecting more a presentation about their view on that, but reading again, it's written something like: "in that part, there is no right answer, we are going to talk about what diversity, inclusion, and belonging mean to you.".. so sounds like people are evaluated on that. Probably there is no right answer, but there are definitely wrong answer. Now I'm curious myself.

Thing is, Apple would deserve at least some of that if people installed apps thanks to the app store influence alone. But that's not the case. Most developers do their own marketing, with Apple forcibly inserting itself in between. Many would distribute their apps from their own websites given the option. Apple and its infamous app review process is just an additional annoyance to deal with because that's your only way to get your app to your users.
A question for the mathematically inclined / advanced: Where do you feel your interest in math was mostly developed?

For me it's clearly at home. My dad loved math and statistics, taught me concepts from a young age and a generation on I try to pass that on to my children. Given their aptitude and results it seems to work. I don't much believe that "some people just can't grok math" other than a basic correlation with IQ. I think we don't lay the foundation right for kids struggling with math since they have to follow or be dragged along a median path.

If mathematical enthousiasm is mostly developed at home, do American parents have or take less time to give kids that enthousiasm?

My kids get extra schooling in math in school (K-12 is the US equivalent), a few hours a week with a dedicated teacher for those hours. Okay, that teacher doesn't really grok math (gives the answers to the really hard questions, with 9 years olds ;), but the extra sessions with the peers combined with attention at home give good results on standardized tests plus exactly that enthousiasm that I'm hoping for.
Huh? People justify genocide constantly, even here on YCombinator.
They've got to call the place something. What name do you suggest? Germania is attested no later than 98 AD (in Tacitus's book of the same name).
