Doesn't sound like your smart classes ever taught you to read the article. The recommendations aren't mandatory and will likely be adopted by schools that are underfunded and struggling.

Saving webpages to PDF is quite terrible, because it often breaks things into "pages" and you end up with blank headers and footers on each page breaking the flow. You also very often have things cut off from the right-hand side of the webpage.

You have these options:

- SiteSucker to preserve a perfect copy of the website, though I'd use a VPN, 1 or 2-sec delay, and spoof user agent

- Firefox with the SingleFile extension lets you save an HTML file that includes all resources, much better than the Save As option in Chrome/Firefox
You can't get people to 'do more of something' if they don't show up for class, and fundamentally don't care because none of their peers do.

'Regular Teaching' works 100% well everywhere around the world where students show up ready to learn.

This is 100% a community/parent/student issue.

More conscientiousness, community participation, stable / 2 parent / married homes, 'Some Kind of Health Insurance', steady jobs, low crime, no druggie/prison parents, not living in fear, no gangs, no gang culture, other students who have normal levels of academic (and other) interests.

And they'll do fine.

Big reforms in Healthcare, Justice and for Economic Stability / Jobs would go a long way, but it will also take community participation.

It's not the curriculum or teachers. They work fine everywhere else, they work fine in Cali.

Kids that have something resembling what we might think of as a 'normal childhood' will do 'mostly fine'.
Nah, jamming shitty responsive sites into phone screens was Web 2.5.

Convergence, meaning plug your phone or tablet into fullsize keyboard and display, will be the new normal.

Crossplatform web app EVERYTHING, PWA if you please, with web3 hooks where relevant, is Web 3.0.
Terms of services place an unreasonable burden on the average person. No one reads them and it isn't at all practical to do so. It's been demonstrated before that if the ToS contain unreasonable terms and that the users were not adequately warned, the terms become nullified anyway.

So if Apple added a term that said "you will owe use $1000 per day and give us license to harvest your organs", it would be nullified even if the user agreed. They would have to have something like a big payment screen showing $1000 and clearly marking out the terms without being lost in a wall of text.
Is it that their parents are indifferent to their kids' education? Or they don't realise that calculus is important in many fields? Or they just want their kids to become a lawyer?
> I didn't realise teachers went under some kind of assessment to teach particular parts of their subjects.

This is hugely variable within the US.

> In the UK a mathematics teacher is just a mathematics teacher. They all have to teach calculus because that's part of the curriculum. If you couldn't teach calculus then you couldn't be a mathematics teacher.

I think there's a lot of math teachers who would be a bit iffy teaching Calculus that have department chairs that schedule them to teach earlier math instead.

> (That's not a boast - we're poorer and less effective at maths than you are.)

I don't feel like our mathematics system is very good at all.
How do you explain it? Do you think they pay you out of charity? Seems unlikely to me.

Nope. I support the BLM cause, but it doesnt belong on a programming docs website. Or at least, not on every single page. Put it on the homepage, and be done with it. Having it on ever single page, for years on end, is insufferable.

This isn't that different in the US. Algebra 1 to Algebra 2 to Precalculus to Calculus is a sequence that's taught over many years and there's no big dump. Geometry is the only exception from that sequence (unless you're counting Statistics or Computer Science, which are generally optional). Most students that are applying to competitive colleges are generally going to take a math course every year - there's no big dump that you seem to be envisioning.
Scalar replacements (as currently implemented in Java) does not work in real-world programs.

Well-written code does not need it. Poorly written code can not trigger it, because the JIT is too dumb and isn't getting better.

There is no sane test to determine whether a piece of code will be inlined in Java. In practice anything more complex than byte array is unlikely to be inlined. Even built-in ByteBuffers aren't! Meanwhile Go compiler treats Go slices just as nicely or better than arrays.
We provide documents and services for startups and this is spot on. Once you've got past the idea of "getting investors to invest in a funding round in exchange for equity" and the obvious differences of i18n and l10n, there are real differences - in France you need to have a lawyer to be able to operate at all, and in Germany investors participate through holding companies instead of directly. And it gets more complicated when you start talking about options or convertible notes.

The complexity of getting our platform to work with all of this is as big a consideration as market size is when we're looking to expand abroad.
None of these matter until FAANG does a 30% preemptive raise. All these other companies are still far below market. (As is FAANG.)

More a tax on energy use as that seems to be the measure he's using. Carbon tax would measure carbox output which is actually 0 (directly) from Bitcoin miners and more from power plants.

I like that it would incentivise reduction of power use, I don't like that it shifts the blame lower on the economic scale.
The fact that you were successful because the guy who sat next to you in class knew how to unlock the programming mode of your calculator is incidental. Why didn't your teacher do it? Congratulations on escaping the system that disadvantaged you. The best thing about programming is that it defines a notation for doing mathematics that doesn't trigger people who went to public schools. Be careful about calling yourself a professional software engineer. In many places you can be sent to jail for claiming any two out of the three words in that title.

> consider the IMF is mostly a lender of last resort

Yep that's an important clarification indeed.

The IMF is a nation's last resort, like loan sharks would be a person's.

The documentaries referenced above seem to draw a picture of the IMF as a financial hit squad.

Haven't watched the Jamaica one yet, will schedule it for the weekend, but I'll be very surprised if it doesn't speak about a pattern of devastating IMF requirements similar to those documented in the others.
Depends on how it is calculated, if it is after tax that isn't so much.

Also, people who are supporting church will often use a lot of their services so it's not like giving money to a charity you will never directly see their work (like environmental groups).

Finally, the 10% rule comes from times where the state had a much lesser role in fighting poverty.
Sounds like the difference is in the UK a teacher teachers a cohort of students through all subjects, not a subject for all cohorts of students. We have one maths teacher who teaches you everything.

Maybe they're terrible at half of it? I don't know.

Considering hateful speech directed at white people to be outside the prohibition is similarly a reflection of the moral precepts of the people making the rules. To be more precise: when someone decries “white people” they’re not talking about people with white skin. They’re typically talking about people of a lower social class. “White people” are those white people whose education or profession doesn’t give them a different group to belong to.

As a “brown” person I think hateful speech directed at “white people” is offensive because so often it’s classist. But I don’t make the rules!

>This is not about “watering down” math classes, but the opposite; it is about applying evidence to improve the quality and equity of mathematical instructions.

This ignores a majority of students that are are well severed through the current curriculum and would advance more slowly under the proposal.
> For example, if the UK wanted to have more funding for science, but the EU frowned upon that regarding it as unfair competition, or something along those lines.

The UK wasn't practically constrained by EU rules on state aid or industrial policy. Most other EU countries had substantially higher levels of state aid. Rather it was the policy of successive British governments to leave it to the market. The EU was a useful scapegoat for deflecting blame.

The current Prime Minister even promised to stay in the single market while campaigning for Brexit, professing himself a 'Fan'. The single market was after all in large part the creation of Margaret Thatcher. Promising a hard Brexit was the way to win the Tory leadership contest.

I think the vote for Brexit was more an expression of identity than a political programme as such. Much like the rise of Trump, but with the UK tabloid press playing the role of Fox News.

The divide is young/old, socially liberal/authoritarian more than economic left/right. Historically the left had opposed EU membership seeing it as a capitalist project. But with the UK being on the economic right of the EU, the single market ended up being something of a moderating influence.

Authoritarian pensioners are electorally dominant and have decided to screw over their kids.

Seems like it's already part of the California standard for 1st grade: https://www.ixl.com/standards/california/math/grade-1

E.g. "Find the missing number: _ + 1 = 5". Same thing with subtraction.

Based upon my experience with my 6 year old (in a public California elementary school), they actually seem to teach math in a huge variety of ways in 1st grade. Word problems, number problems, relationships between plus and minus, and boatloads of ways to solve any given problem.

I think they introduced it in Kindergarten too. But it was way beyond her at the time.
I think the web part is now "log in with your wallet, fetch account state from the blockchain". It all happens on the normal web and the blockchain access is facilitated by "normal" web API gateways like Infura or Cloudflare. This is my view from the outside so it might be off on the details.

It seems pretty reasonable, as far as crypto stuff goes, except that there is a massive, expensive machine behind all the HTTP APIs that is solving very specific problems you probably don‘t have while making someone rich.

I'm not actually saying that I agree that it hurts the creator, just listing the reasons that I don't bother blocking them. I am not necessarily against the idea of sponsorblock- I hate all advertising in general (and even despite this I still fall for ads I do see and check products out...maybe that makes me hate them even more) it's just that in-video ads are the kind of ads I am least inclined to go out of my way to remove or skip.

And, I can't tell you what the difference is- it seems it would be the same- but sponsor spots in audio-only podcasts bother me more than ones in videos. Maybe it's the length. The majority of the content I watch keeps sponsor stuff short- but the podcasts I listen to make a 5-10 minute infomercial out of them, so I do skip them more often in podcasts

As far as whether I think there's any harm to creators from skipping sponsored spots, it's possible that whatever statistics/analysis creators have access to on the platform might inform what they're able to tell their sponsors as far as views/etc. - but I don't know to what extent that goes

I’m reading this list, and it’s a great list but it also makes me sort of depressed. I think I have the combination of time and intellect to achieve maybe half of what’s proposed here. What do you do when you can’t possibly achieve writing throwaway prototypes to get design input while engaging deeply with your customers and keeping up with the research in your field while designing your APIs for 2+ implementations? And oh by the way shipping this major product in under a year?
I have been using Tuned for a year now and can honestly say it’s the best trading infra as a platform out there. Tried a few others like 3commas and mudrex but their system is much more powerful particularly the execution which has become very reliable.

NY State does this, or at least did back when I was in high school. It was called “integrated math.”

Legend has it that Saddam Hussein might've belived he had WMDs, including nukes too, because he was surrounded by yes-men, and the only other alternative to being than a yes-man in his regime was to be dead.

That's a pretty clever defence, claim you were desperately delusional when interpreting underlings' reports (probably being insistent until the sycophants just give up (e.g. keep repeating "I see you added 2 plus 2 and this means 5, right?")), and maybe the jury could just accept that you were incompetent rather than malicious.

If she gets out of it I suggest a subset of Dunning-Kruger called Elizabeth Holmes.
I think this is an excellent analysis. In my experience (my family is from Bangladesh) American Muslims tend to get around this by relying on their status as a religious minority. To draw an analogy: what did Jesus think of Roman divorce law? As a religious minority it didn’t matter what the Romans doing, unless they were regulating Jews directly. Similarly, American muslims don’t have to reconcile their religious beliefs and political beliefs because as a practical matter someone else is making the rules.

The dominant group faces a different problem, because someone has to make the rules. “When does life begin?” Clearly society must answer this one way or the other—we won’t let people exercise their personal “choice” at say 2 months after birth. If religion doesn’t decide that question, some other non-falsifiable moral framework will.

Knowledge/skill assessment is more complex than dictation. It's like a O(n) operation that necessarily looks at each student versus the O(log n) of dictating stuff to a class that asks some questions.

The more evaluation and feedback are in the process, the more individualized it gets, the more burdensome and expensive it gets, generally. That's not to say we can't improve our teaching methods to automate some mechanisms for feedback and pace adjustment in the future, though...

Education is due for a genuine upset. I think there are a bunch of ways technology could make general education significantly more effective, given the technology was designed for that. (Current device / OS / app design norms are mostly in service of consumerism, which assumes no one ever wants to learn anything unless someone paid for them to hear it. So, not that stuff.)

For any liquid in microgravity the name of the game is ullage. Gasses will self-equalise, but liquids clump together and stubbornly refuse to move the way you want them to.

The typical solution, which is in the context of relighting a liquid fueled rocket that is coasting in microgravity, is to use some other engine to push the fuel in one direction, providing enough initial ullage to light the main engine after which the thrust from the main engine provides the rest.

For refueling it is normally assumed that the target and resupplier are stationary when docked, or at least not accelerating to their next set of orbital parameters; they are station-keeping. The typical solution doesn't work there, so there is research to be done on just how the refueling will work in practice.
More Indians speak English than Americans. So rates don’t really matter.
There's more truth to this than you realize. My two middle schoolers now get a number grade for science, representing whether you are on, below, or above grade level. So as a parent if I see they have a 2.5 do I get worked up or not? They've made the grade meaningless and incomprehensible.
Arguably the most successful decentralized protocol so far. They where just 20 years ahead of the scene.
I don’t see how this differs much from a common “clean room” reverse engineering strategy where one set of engineers accepts the eula and then writes down in excruciating detail exactly how the target item works, then a second set of engineers that have never seen the item in question (or accepted a eula) takes these detailed writings and uses them to reverse engineer the item in question. (A mere description of a device or software is not protected)

This is standard practice at large companies when reverse engineering chips, devices and software and seems very similar to the above eula argument.
Your interpretation of what I was saying was clearly adversarial and uncharitable so I just got tired of it. It's entirely possible to have high standards for everyone (including the "stupid") without reducing the quality of the curriculum. But you're not interested in having that discussion because you're grinding some other axe about what you perceive to be the ideological takeover of the educational system.

Some replies mentioned that this was to maintain access to the pricing page for users, but if that was the case, having pricing accessible while logged on seems like the real solution.

From official replies, it appears that the real motivation behind this is marketing upsells for existing users/customers. Likely the reason they think this works is AB testing or some other conversion metrics, but I don't need stats to tell me that it's quite shady and annoying.
interesting perspective i have not heard before but make sense as a narrative. wonder what data is behind that - seriously old elites shutting down innovation.
I've heard this many times, and I don't really understand the argument. I've used the shell plenty of times for this sort of work, but it's much more complicated to do certain things correctly than in an IDE. Things like looping over any filename, escaping arbitrary strings for use within sed patterns, xargs, multi-line replacements and regex lookahead require quite some in-depth knowledge, trial and error, and sometimes installing special tools because the defaults don't support the relevant patterns (like path NUL terminators or lookaheads). I don't have to deal with any of these in IDEA.
Argentina used to be one of the richest countries in the world. Things looked fine there too, until they longer were.
Regarding your idea of stopping the station rotation: a simple way to do it would be to spin a flywheel contained inside the station. It wouldn't need to be very heavy if it spins very fast.

Another possibility is to have the docking station completely disconnected from the outer ring atmosphere, and to use small "elevators cabins" attached to robotic arms to go from the ships to the rings and vice-versa.
