> The burden of proof should fall on Apple in an ideal world

It does, but its not an element of a crime being proven, so the burden isn't “beyond a reasonable doubt”, but (as for most things in a civil case, though sometimes other standards apply) “preponderance of the evidence", for which you need to convince the court that, based on the evidence provided, the facts you need are more likely than not to be true.
They should stop lowering expectations for students. There isn't any reason that they can't start teaching it in 6th grade.
If you teach "hard" things to average US public school students, a minority of them will excel as a result. The rest will nod off, get bored, not pay attention, and not benefit.

So it benefits a minority (those who care) and differentiates them from the rest -- that's what they don't like. Because those who care come from "privileged" backgrounds more often than not, thus perpetuating the gap between privileged and non-privileged.

Many American K-12 education administrators dream of making schools into diploma mills: 100% graduation rates, 100% test scores, 100% meaningless and unaccountable. "Racial justice" is just their latest leverage to move closer to this goal.
This is precisely why I avoided using adjectives such as savory or delicious. Taste is entirely subjective and varies widely from individual to individual. Nutrition on the other is based on scientific fact, hence why I chose to use terms such as: nutrients, fiber, protein.

Btw, I find the term "souldcrushing" to be an insult to the millions of individuals who rely on such food staples for their daily nutritional intake. Go do a quick search for levels of diabetes and obesity among nations which rely on plant based diets and then come back and talk to me about soulcrushing.
Grade nine is 14-15 years of age in the US.

I agree with you WRT age appropriate-ness. Just because something can or has been introduced at a certain age does not mean that is optimal. I recall a study I saw recently that showed delaying introducing one subject - it may have been math - to very young students had negligible impacts on their scores (compared to students who were introduced earlier) a few years later. The students with a delayed introduction caught up so quickly that the delay didn’t matter. I’ll see if I can dig up a link - EDIT, I’m struggling to find it under all of the COVID-related student-delay-catch-up articles.
I had forgotten that Aptera was showing signs of life again. Unlike a decade ago, I'm not currently in a position where I can buy a two-seater so I haven't followed them as closely.
As nikivi mentioned, the reason I use CF workers in my project is because of the global distribution of the workers. A user from Europe would have their worker request routed to the closest worker in CF network in Europe instead of a single standalone server on Blueboat which would be in Canada for example.

This renders Blueboat almost the same as having my own server at one location which sort of defeats the purpose imo.
Riding a motorbike the cross winds can play with you too.

However the bikes I ride are largely self correcting for wind.(I think front wheel trail accounts for this? Happy to be corrected.) You do have to stay relaxed on the handlebars to let it happen.

one option: only ever give out your e-mail address with a "+[domain or service you're signing up for]", ex. signing up for a HN account? kevin+hn@your-domain.com.

Then filter out any e-mails that don't have that +[whatever] in. No, not a panacea. But can cut down a bit on spam.
If they actually go through with this, most likely I’ll just switch to only using Signal rather than both. Most of my friends use both anyway and the remainder won’t be too hard to convince, and I think we’re not unique in that we already share other apps apart from Telegram (like Discord for example).

This will be the worst decision they’ve made in the history of the product.

Math is so racist!!

Math is literally killing people!

Why don't the equations wear masks and get vaccines!? RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Let's say you are an extremist of any sort of ideology. Generally people that are obsessed with such ideologies are also obsessed with the idea of spreading it via indoctrination. So whereas a normal well adjusted human would design an education curriculum for improving the lives of the students an ideologically obsessed person will design it to promote their ideology at all other cost.
It would require the building of a large space structure, which has never been done (even the ISS is not that large). For that, we'd need to get materials into space cheaper, or even mine/refine/manufacture materials off-earth.
FWIW, I'm a cryptocurrency skeptic, and generally pessimistic about where the world economy is heading for the next decade. I assume crypto's popularity, like the US housing market, is largely an artifact of low interest rates and massive government deficit spending, which I also assume will run into some limits, in the next few years... In other words, I expect crypto to crash hard, and languish for at least a decade. If it does return, it'll be fully co-opted & tamed by governments and Big Finance.

So I believe that the carbon footprint issue will resolve itself, relatively soon.

I really do hope I'm wrong about where the world economy is heading. It's honestly got me feeling pretty terrified.

I still don't follow. What exactly in what I suggested is the problem with equalizing outcomes? If everyone is learning the same things then what exactly is the problem? There is no discrimination involved.
I am not from US so don't interpret my comment trough US blue vs red or similar lenses. My observations is that students learn at different speed, the issue with a teacher that is forced to teach a class of 25 students is very obvious, at each step some student will fall behind, then if he is behind he will have more trouble comprehending the next topic and in the end you get a student that does not know the basic rules of signs when multiplying. I know such a person that failed his national exam, he did not know how to multiply negative integers , but this person had the ambition to get his dream job so he found a tutor and he learned and then he got a good grade. The difference was that you had a tutor with 1 or maybe 2 students at a time and that the student wanted to learn.

When I am doing homework with my son or check is lessons I always wonder what is happening with students that parents don't have the time or the skill to do math,physics,programming together with the child. Some will hire private tutors but to few.

Seems to me that either you get fewer students to a teacher, or have less dense material to work with so the teacher can have the time to check each student and figure-out what exactly is unclear. And you ofcourse you need good teachers,

So .. TL;Dr web3 is nothing to do with the web, and is just the same old smart contract crypto hype we've all seen before?

No mention of the actual distributed web protocols like IPFS or Dat as far as I could tell.

Have I massively missed something or has the crypto community just co-opted the name web3 for their own non-web related stuff? How does the web factor in to crypto?
Oh OK. How many years will that take? You can't just staff these new hospitals with just new nurses, you need doctors and other support staff. We have a vaccine now. If everybody just got it when they could we could start to move on without spending millions or billions building new hospitals and paying people to train to become nurses and doctors in half a decade.
Is there any major feature in telegram which Signal doesn't provide?
I have got another bright idea: let's rename elementary mathematics to algebra. Anyone who can do addition, passes the course. This is going to be great for the metrics California measures. I am sure that nothing can go wrong here.

Seriously speaking, this is going to increase the social divide between the families who rely on the public schools, and the families who are educated enough to teach their own children or can hire the tutors.
To be fair, the basics of algebra are already taught in first grade (or whenever you learn arithmetic). Kids at that age won't have questions such as

x + 3 = 7

Instead, they will get questions such as

__ + 3 = 7

They might not formally learn it, but they'll learn the patterns that they will eventually apply in algebra.
Inflation is bad. Hyperinflation is worse.
Reported CPI does not reflect actual inflation. One just needs to look at asset prices, stock prices, etc to see what is happening. You and everyone else is being robbed, every day, and it gets worse...

I strongly suggest you look into why people would want "censorship resistant, decentralized, non-state, peer to peer currencies". The existing financial system doesn't make sense. Stores of value outside the reach of the state is highly desirable. The ability to transmit value, trustlessly, anywhere on the planet via a communication channel is a breakthrough technology.

Who wants inflating, dirty, war promoting, state based fiat, when they can have deflating, clean, peace promoting, non-state based cryptocurrency?
Software development? Or other industries?
With such an overwhelmingly negative response in the comments on these things, you have to wonder who actually supports this stuff and how is it possible that such a small group yields so much power
It's often hubris, but I have personally seen it done to dispose of competition. They could have decided to be better at running their own company, but, of course, big corporations don't work that way. Nope, buy that troublesome startup, run it out of gas, problem solved.
Okay, so what I _think_ you're saying here is that we should no longer be thinking about divs and spans and such as the raw materials we use to write a page, nor should we be writing HTML itself, but rather VB6-style "I want to drag a widget onto the layout screen"?

That does exist in some form today, between "low-code" tools and React-based drag-and-drop tools.

But then again, this also treads awfully close to the argument that "devs shouldn't be writing 'code' any more anyway, we can just hook together a bunch of boxes with arrows on screen and it all works". Thus far, those approaches still haven't taken over devs from writing code despite years and years of promises.
Why does your employer pay you at all? To get you to work for them.

So how much do they pay you to work for them? As little as it takes to convince you to work for them and not someone else.

So how much does it take you to convince you to work for them? Just a little more than anyone else will pay you.

So your pay depends on how much anyone else will pay you.

Where does inflation enter that logic?

You can say 'my costs have gone up by inflation I want to be paid that much more' but can you see how your costs don't figure into what they pay you? If you said 'this company will pay me more' than that works. But just 'inflation' doesn't.

The program is called Equitable Math and it frames current mathematics pedagogy as a mechanism by which White Supremacy is sustained.¹ Note that in a very long multi-part document on White Supremacy, there is absolutely zero mention of Asians, despite that they are somewhere between 15.5% to 17% of the state population.²

Program goals includes the de-emphasis of Algebra for middle school and Calculus for high school. Under Equitable Math, all students must take the same level of courses up until the senior year.

Why/how exactly do you think people become a math whiz? For many of us it was because we were introduced to subjects at an early age and had supportive teachers/parents that encouraged our academic success even when (especially because!) it meant surpassing our peers.
Also: how many laboratories working with novel coronaviruses are there in the world? How concentrated are they?

I don’t know the answer, but it could well be that a significant fraction of the population of China (or the USA) lives in a city with such a lab, making it not too unlikely that the first patient will be found in such a city.
I would sincerely rather pay for Telegram or let them launch unobtrusive ads in channels than have Telegram go the way of WhatsApp and be owned by a large tech company. Telegram is the only messaging app I use that routinely gets tangible and useful feature updates and consistently works fast across all devices. Of course it costs money to maintain, and I’m happy to help keep it going.
> we never were a benign species for the other ones

I mostly agree, with a single caveat: there are (and never were) any benign species. There are only insufficiently capable ones.
Upside down wing?
My third grader does simple equations like this in math. This is public school in Oregon. A lot of people in this thread are making big assumptions and just using it as an excuse to trash the American educational system for ideological reasons.
"Equalizing outcomes" is exactly what they want to do.

They seek to accomplish this by pulling down those who would otherwise excel, not by solving the real problems that are preventing people from excelling in the first place.

Part of the problem is that outcomes can never be equalized. It's a fallacy to try to force everyone into the same educational mold. A statistical normal distribution will always occur.

Better to remove impediments that are keeping people from excelling -- things like poverty, crime, etc. would be a great place to start.

Thanks! Haha yes, it definitely felt like it at times. Fundraising really took me out of the product pretty much completely, so my co-founder was keeping the fort there and keeping us afloat. At first we were fundraising together, but then we quickly realised it just wasn't feasible.

The next thing was hiring - in many ways similar to fundraising, a lot of lead generation, rejections and also very occupying.

I think and hope now will be a bit easier to get back to the product, but there are definitely things that from time to time completely consume you it seems.
> I don't get what the folks in the US are thinking.

My third grader does these (in an Oregon public school), so I think you've read too much into one article and a lot of uninformed commenters.
Glad to see hype-free crypto posts :)
Take the grade and add 5. We generally start Kindergarten at 5 ( kinda grade 0 ).
If you wonder how they intend to enforce this, Telegram is known for harassing developers until they comply and for making sure "unapproved" forks stay out of the Play and App Stores.
Further to this there has been some recent coverage in the Israeli press about the strong relationship between NSO Group and the Israeli government. The gov used NSO and it's products as a lure to the Gulf states to bring them on-side as a wedge against Iran

> NSO is one of the most active Israeli companies in the Gulf, and its Pegasus 3 software permits law enforcement authorities to hack into cellphones, copy their contents and sometimes even to control their camera and audio recording capabilities

> Israel put NSO in touch with Arab states in the region, and Israeli representatives even took part in marketing meetings between intelligence officials in the Arab states and NSO executives. Some of the meetings were held in Israel.

The irony is that this is probably going to exacerbate social injustice. Cupertino kids are going to be taking extracurricular math through RSM or Kumon in elementary school, and then the Cupertino school district (in the article) says that they have no intention to comply with the recommendations. SF kids aren't going to be exposed to algebra until 9th grade and then get a rude awakening in college when they realize all the cool courses have pre-reqs.

I've heard a good argument that algebra specifically should be moved the other way: teach it in elementary school, when kids are first exposed to arithmetic. There's a really natural progression from addition/subtraction/zero and multiplication/division/one to inverses and identities, and from addition/multiplication to distribution and associativity. My 3-year-old understands that if he has 5 raspberries on his fingers and he takes away one, he has 4, and then if he grabs another one and puts it on his finger, he has 5 again. Not a huge leap from there to the concept of equations, inverse operations, and solving for unknowns.
Not going to lie, I thought and still think that the whole Web 2.0 thing was clever marketing and window dressing on top of fairly pedestrian but useful technologies. It was actually less of seismic shock than mobile first which despite being a bigger shift didn't actually get a number.

As far as I'm concerned, Web3 is beyond this. It's what happen when you let Ponzi schemers write the marketing material. I can't for the life of me discern what's of actual value from what is a fabrication in the pile of technologies put forward. It doesn't help that I personally have yet to see a use for a blockchain which isn't replicating an existing financial instrument while trying to avoid the eyes of the state.

I’m sure there is some good things in the middle of it all but I respect the authors of this article for having the courage to delve into the whole steaming pile. I certainly do not have it.
U.S. is the only country I know that considers algebra advanced. It's fundamental in the rest of the world.
I think Web3 is just a term that something will change the web. Semantic web used it first, there's the whole AI/VR Web3 movement, there's crypto, etc...

IANAL, but the general understanding is: "Ignorance is not a defence". If your legal advisors did not flag this up then I think you are probably entitled to ask for your money back when Apple kicks your butt.
Very unlikely. If anyone is conscious of the United States' push for domestic surveillance, it's Apple. I imagine the reason this case took so long to draft is because it was a lateral effort involving lawyers, intelligence agencies and Apple's own corporate bigwigs. It's reflected in phrasing like "the abuse of state-sponsored spyware" rather than just "state-sponsored spyware" period. The only thing the government wants to do is arbitrate the case, because obviously they have an interest in maintaining their monopoly on surveillance.
Very shocked that after 40 years of undermining public services, the quality of those services decline.

Maybe I'm just not a normal user of telegram and I'm lucky that this doesn't affect me, but this seems like the most reasonable way to do ads. Though something along the lines of discord's nitro would be a nicer way to fund things. I wonder why telegram doesn't do something like that.
> No, its based on empirical evidence that the way things were done previously holds everyone down

Could you expand on this?

On the surface, I agree. The curriculum that is pervasive in contemporary high schools was developed at a time when few people (~5%, iirc) went to high school and most of those who did went to tertiary education or white collar support jobs.

That said, this may not be the direction you mean.
This is pretty common. I don’t say it’s right, but it’s practically the norm.

The good news is that usually this time is not so impactful in the life of the startup. The founder will plan how much money they’ll need to execute the next ~2 years and will dedicate 2 entire months to fundraiser. After that, they’ll have 22 months of absolute focus and peace of mind to keep building product.
My elementary school was introducing algebra in 4th and 5th grade. Questions like "7 * ? = 21" aren't explicitly teaching algebra - student's aren't being taught the multiplicative property of equality, they're just remembering their times tables - but it's laying the foundation.
> [React] requires compilation

technically, but not in the same way e.g. Svelte does. the syntax used by React, JSX, is simple local syntactic sugar:

<Foo x={a} y={b}>...</Foo>
// ↓
createElement(Foo, { x: a, y: b }, ...)

i.e. basically a macro, no real "compiling" going on
Tons, and tons. Telegram has a better user experience as well, both in the quality of the apps, and the way features work. Of course, in some cases, signal is a little hamstrung due to their aggressive security model.

Although, I think most of those telegram features are cute little addons and aren't really core to the purpose of the app (messaging).

Personally, I use signal for everything and have gotten my friends on it as well.
This is quite pathetic. But I guess the lower the education the easier it gets to keep people under control.
If you are high income, then this won’t affect you at all. Your kids will be doing calculus and algebra early because they enjoy it and are probably good at it. It’ll just be outside of school.
Well sure, but that doesn't sound weird at all.
