I'm confused; is he a real professor, in the sense that he actually knows core sociology literature well, or is he a grifter sociologist professor who has found a niche and some publicity for himself by writing relatively light academic-sounding fluff focusing on the intersection of drone technology and modern issues of concern (slavery, trafficking, the panopticon)?

This has nothing to do with newbie mistakes. GoDaddy has been a household name for decades. This was not a newbie mistake, this was negligence and refusal to invest in modern technologies.

I'd rather risk it with the newbies, modern stacks usually have good tutorials and standard solutions to most security sensitive problems.

I always have this thought when seeing black and white photographs from the 70s onwards. Every photo from my family starting in 1977+ is color.

Someone in film told me black and white does offer better detail in analog as color saturation can sometimes blur lines. They also told me that as a student they filmed in black and white since in color every object in the scene can mean more because of its. Like if you had a normal 80s bedroom but just one pillow on the bed was red then that could imply something even if you didn't mean to (maybe romance, not sure).
but seriously, it's just not funny. did you read the stupid one about the pumpkins they trot out each year? curse words with serifs, ooh lala.

Are we talking about the same Mastery Learning as described in the article? Can you please explain why Mastery Learning requires teaching different grade levels to the same class? My understanding is that all students study the same material, take a quiz, then the ones who aced it get to study whatever they want for the rest of the period and the ones who didn't ace it must listen to more lecture and discuss the content with the teacher and take another quiz. Where are the multiple grade levels of material?

> it would require at minimum a complete reorganisation of how schools work. You would have to abandon age based classes altogether.

Can you please explain this?
I remember in 2nd or 3rd grade sitting with my classmates on the floor and the teacher wrote something like 4 + ? = 7 on the board.

Without even mentioning the word variable, algebra, or any other terms, they began teaching us about these concepts.

They started with a problem where the answer is so easy everyone can get it. No formalization to start with, just, here's a simple example that you can immediately relate to. Only after doing this do you need to learn and understand the formalization and theory of the concepts.

I find the same is true in programming. Often to learn something new, it's better to copy and run a code snippet that does the new thing. Only after running it, seeing the result, seeing it work is the formalization and theory needed. Then you just rinse and repeat to get better and better at it.

As an aside: I think had the teacher asked us for a name as well instead of using the ?, we could have even started learning about using variables earlier. By our own laziness as kids, someone would likely have gotten tired of writing out "my number that I'm trying to find" + 3 = 7 and thought about shortening it by some degree. It would have felt empowering to have that insight come from a class mate, and if not, the teacher could always introduce it on their own.

ETA

I also had a college professor who started each new unit by explicitly motivating why we were going to learn, what we were going to learn, and how it related to what we just learned.

That context was a huge help in learning the material.

It's the principle of experiential learning. Pushing back such a basic concept of math would only disadvantage society.

You make some interesting points, but children are neither machines nor lab rats. Conditioning can have deep psychological effects; those successful people that complain about their parents might have done some introspection and arrived to a different conclusion from yours.

Isn't diff just a standard, generic term for a change difference? (Like in git: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if my memory is correct, I was under the impression that a pull request was a term coined in the early Github days specific to their PR feature.
Yep, agree with that. UK banks don't usually advertise their log-in UX though so it's a pain being surprised by this and having to switch after going through the long sign up process (usually involves receiving letters by post and multiple sign-up steps over a week).
At its heart, the strongest claim blockchain technology offers is pretty good data consistency assurances between nodes that don't trust one another. I guess that's kind of interesting as a technical demonstration, but it's hard to see what's actually the practical benefit of that. This has been around and under continuous development since 2008, and still no actual use case.

It seems like the space is full of hype-bro crooks and hype-bro dupes who feed off one another, warping a niche technical toy into whatever get-rich-quick revolutionary fantasy they want.

> Has anyone ever stopped to consider the ethical question of applying the latest unproven fads of educational theory to unwitting students?

Since this Catherine Project seems to be trying to offer a traditional education practice to students who are both witting and willing, and thus, to me, at least, doesn’t seem to raise any serious ethical issues, I will comment on your point about ethical issues in public education.

I teach and do research on foreign-language education in a non-English-speaking country, and a few years ago I started to think about the ethical issues involved in that area of education. In Japan, where I live, all school children are required to study English even though the majority of Japanese children and adults have little or no need for English in their lives. The teaching methods can involve activities that some students find embarrassing, such as presentations and role playing; some children also seem to feel that being required to speak a foreign language threatens their personal identity.

While children themselves will complain about having to study English and raise ethical issues about it (“Why do we have to do this!?”), the discourse among both educators and the general public seems to ignore whether it is morally acceptable to require all children to study and try to speak a foreign language that most of them will not use and will soon forget.

When I mentioned my inchoate thoughts about these issues to a philosopher colleague, he pointed me to the is-ought problem raised by David Hume [1, 2, 3]. That helped to clarify for me a related issue that had been bothering me. A lot of research about foreign-language education seems to be based on empirical, objective information (what is), such as whether a particular teaching method leads to higher test scores or not. Education researchers, however, often conclude their papers and presentations with ethical recommendations for action (what ought to be done), such as to adopt the teaching method that does lead to higher test scores. The ethical and logical problem with that kind of is-to-ought reasoning rarely if ever is discussed, at least in my corner of the field of education.

I don’t know if the same problem exists in other areas of education or in education policy in Ontario. But I can say that I was similarly annoyed as a child, in public schools in California more than fifty years ago, when I realized that we were being experimented on with a series of educational “innovations” of dubious benefit and without our consent.

Woah what a coordinated effort from WaPo and NYT to release the same story at the same time.
They were also able to pinpoint a location where the video might have been shot. Based on the background of the videos, agents from the FCC determined it was most likely the roll-down door of a warehouse and tracked it to a district that had warehouses with doors like it.

Truly incredible detective work, the kind of insight that is limited to adults of normal intelligence and observational ability. I guess when you don't have any ideas you need to fill up the silence somehow.
I am glad that we can disagree, and I hope you would spend some time considering that while the research has progressed we have experienced a rapid decline in the subjective and objective quality of education.

Just because I completely reject the ideas you may be involved with researching doesn't mean I am ignorant of them, I just haven't been convinced that they are based in reality.

I'm hugely pro-crypto and I think this guy is being led astray by promises from coins that are incentivized to generate hype and not punished when they don't deliver.

I think firstly crypto has to become money and I think that's all it has to do to change the world for the better. Not many people bother thinking about how inequitable our centralized fiat systems are, but there's no system with half the influence that's even close to inflicting half the pain and suffering (while benefiting a small select chosen class of people). Fiat prints money and gives first dibs (preinflation dollars) to banks. Crypto prints money and gives it to who? Everyone and anyone. This is revolutionary. Further, most crypto doesn't implement a poor tax and steal the money from people who can't afford to buy investment assets while inflation takes from their purchasing power so they have to beg their overlords to increase their salary which will never keep up with inflation.

I don't understand why we've missed the point, but crypto is an amazing chance to get equality right with our money but so many people have their blinders on with a strong negativity bias that they don't want to see past the clickbait and overpromised tech.

Luckily crypto is dramatically better money than fiat in all categories but stability and it's becoming less volatile. I can't wait until we reach the tipping point. I can't wait to see 3rd world countries be given the opportunity to deal in the global economy and climb their way out of the hell fiat has kept them trapped in.

> There might be some honest ones out there, but they are drowned out by all the ones that are clearly just affiliat link farms.

I think the most interesting part of your comment: Is how do we [objectively] classify the two?

Perhaps the tendency to recommend products not recommended in spammier affiliate link farm guides is one metric that would be interesting to look at.

In comparison to WC, CR is not free; but, to play devil's advocate, [why] does a guide being non-free presuppose that their reviews are of higher integrity?

[In general, I don't think that it does. We just had a post about this the other day actually.]

In CR's case, they've been around for decades and are independent / non-profit, so that's something. But also, I don't think longevity and the legal business entity being a non-profit are necessary preconditions to writing review guides with integrity.

If we were trying to find the "CR of startups today", what would we look for?

I think it's not as simple as that. I think a large part of the difficulties we're having around getting everyone on the same page is that people are saying things that they want to be true, and even are true if you squint a little, but can reasonably be read as not true.

"Vaccines work" (or the constantly repeated "these vaccines are safe and (remarkably/fantastically/stupendously) effective) isn't trying to educate you on the vaccines so you can make the right decision on your own, it's meant to get you to take the vaccine. They're stronger statements than are justified, and they make people suspicious as a result.

Some people are going to read " vaccinations work" as "you take this vaccine and you can't get covid, can't spread covid", which is not even close to accurate. We're all better off (IMO) being honest and humble and careful with our language, so we don't get caught overplaying our case and further galvanizing people.

A bit more nuanced; Israeli Arab Muslims (besides Bedouins) and Arab Christians don't go to the army besides some very small number of volunteers. Bedouins are a special case but I think going to the army isn't as prevalent with them as it used to be.
Druze all go to the army but they are not Muslim and don't see themselves as connected to the Palestinians.
Thanks for sharing that article and for the insight, I appreciate it!

Every time I read about decentralization, I remember this episode from NPR Planet Money (one of the best podcasts, btw). It's about Libertarian Summer Camp where they tried to spend a day without fiat money. Gold standard everything. Turned out it's actually pretty hard because you have to get gold, and make sure the gold isn't fake, all by yourself. You bought a hotdog with the gold and now you have to worry about if it contains anything FDA-banned substances, etc etc.

cf. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/28/534735727/epis...

Being decentralized means that all the efforts that a central government is currently taking will be distributed to everyone, and now everyone has to worry about things that were taken granted before: basic safety, security and trust. This is why there aren't many decentralized systems that caught on because their usability is pretty bad for most people.
Yes, diff is a generic name, after a Unix tool with the same name. However, it hadn’t been the most popular name for the self contained unit of changes, that you would send to others to review or apply — the “patch” was. In Linux git workflow, you would use the “git format-patch” command to generate patch to send to others for review and to apply it to their branch.

Web3 requires retrofitting the web to use blockchain technologies to do what the web can mostly do already.

In "Blockchains Are a Bad Idea", James Mickens gives several arguments against blockchain-based systems like Bitcoin:

See his presentation here: https://youtu.be/15RTC22Z2xI

1. People have out-of-band trust relationships in real life which reduce the likelihood of malice. Bitcoin-style anonymous identities undermine trust relationships and are not needed for legitimate (not illegal) transactions.

2. Real life legal systems encourage good behaviors. If you have a dispute with someone, you can sue them. Bitcoin and related systems lack these protections.

3. Existing tools such as public-key cryptography and digital signatures can provide most of the functionality that applications need without the problems that blockchain-based systems have.
Generally, I agree with that.

I was trying to answer more in the scope of the question asked. I think the vast majority of sane people would say 'of course I think that black lives matter." Why that became politically charged I tried to answer somewhat neutrally.
Is that so much different than how the U.S operates, other than Israel is really fun to demonize? The U.S arms whoever it wants to arm, Europe as well. So selling F-15's is cool but cyber hacks isn't. Got it.
