Not sure why you're being downvotes. Stats and discrete math are sorely underrepresented in high school math education. The harm of this continuing will be extremely high going forward.
I've listened to a bunch of those episodes. I agree, the host/creator does a fantastic job.
Statistics is based on probability and probability is based on set theory and a concept of measure. Discrete probability may do away without calculus. But it needs some basic understanding of algebra. Concept of probability, imo, is very hard to understand. And then you have conditional probability, which fooled even high ranking mathematicians. Allegedly Paul Erdos didn’t get it until a computer simulation was presented to him [0]. I think venturing into statistics may be left for later. I would agree though that combinatorics can be taught earlier and give a good understanding or discrete probability. I don’t see thought how it can be successfully without algebra and calculus.

Dollar stores are a relatively recent phenomenon, a consequence of the destruction of local retail by various chains--first chain groceries, then Wal-Mart, etc. Dollar stores have slowly filled in the gaps left by the closure of local retailers and low-end chains like A&P. At first chains drove down prices, such as precipitous price declines brought by chain groceries, and then those Wal-Mart brought to everything else. But consolidation in the chain industry, including Wal-Mart displacing lower end chains and then slowly moving up market, left gaps, especially at the very low end. Dollar stores slowly filled in those gaps, but as they did so they ceased being literal dollar stores. And like any for-profit chain, they've begun using their market dominance to increase prices.

> Despite their limited ability, they ARE able to look at price tags in different stores and go "hey, wait a minute!"

Not really. Dollar stores have become so ubiquitous precisely because of their market dominance in areas without options--retail deserts, if you will. If you've really been dirt poor--and dirt poor outside the major cities and suburbs--you would know that driving 20-30 miles to the Wal-Mart two towns over, presuming they even have lower prices, can be cost prohibitive (especially when considering wear-and-tear and the risk of breaking down) when you're living day-to-day, even though in the long-term you end up paying more at the dollar store. Drive across the vast areas of rural and poor America and you'll see dollar stores in the most random and remotest of places; places that 10, 20, or 30 years ago had more options--you may even see their long shuttered remains somewhere nearby.

This is the classic dilemma the impoverished face, and have always faced--it takes money to make (or save) money. Yes, increases in prices at dollar stores will negatively impact alot of people. But when decrying the state of the nation you have to understand why that is and what it means. For example, before someone blames inflation, maybe they should look at profit margins. AFAICT, they've rose relatively sharply since COVID-19: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/DG/dollar-general/... Indeed, the "narrowing" of Dollar Tree's earnings forecast mentioned in the article, from $5.40-$5.60 to $5.48-$5.58, is maybe better described as an upward adjustment. I suspect the price increase will help margins even further.
> Math in US high schools ends at what most countries would consider a middle school level.

I agree that the nationwide baseline is abysmally, or even tragically, low. This is clearly problematic in and of itself. However, there isn’t a standard curriculum for US high schools as this varies widely by state and town/district/school.
Just in case you have missed, here is a thread on your dream college: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29324628
There are lots of things I'm close to that I need to think objectively about. Maybe I don't hit your ideal of 100%, but I do my best. Investments is one area. The health and well being of my children is another. You can never have perfect objectivity. You do the best you can. GP's advice is too rigid and therefor not very good.

FWIW, I'm speaking from experience. Had I taken GP's advice and "never exercise unless it's early exercise" then I would have missed out on a lot of money.

The other thing to keep in mind is you don't have to exercise 100% of your vested options. If you're too nervous or don't trust your own judgement, maybe go for 10%, or whatever makes you comfortable. There's a lot of room between 0 and 100 here. Go ahead and explore it.

My vague memories of my Australian High school math curriculum (year 7 to 12) was something like this, I went to high school from 1997 to 2002.

Year 7 was geometry focused, Pythagoras theorem a lot of graphing things with protractors compasses etc. Calculating angles from parallel lines stuff like that.

Year 8 was much more algebra centric quadradic formula, simultaneous equations, expansion of brackets.

Year 9 was Trigonometry I remember there was a lot of 3d shapes and volumes. Volume of spheres, cones, pyramids etc.

Year 10 was Conic sections circles Ellipsis Parabolas hyperbola etc a lot of graphing again and more advanced trig.

In Year 11 and 12 I took the most advanced of the math streams I had two math classes. My other courses were Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English So math was a third of my course load, more if you counted physics which was highly math based as well.

Year 11 One class was Calculus focused, limits, fundamental theorem, basic derivatives and simple integration (Simpson's rule and stuff like that). The other class was linear algebra, vecrors, dot and cross products basic matrix manipulation and matrix transformation - reflectons skew etc.

Year 12 We covered parametric calculus, complex numbers more advanced integration and derivatives (Chain rule, substitutions etc). I vaguely remember we covered a bit of hyperbolic functions (cosh, sinh etc). The other course was statistics and probability as well things like sequences and series, stuff like binomial theorem.

I studied Engineering at uni and my first year university math was pretty much a repeat of year 11 and 12 math but a bit more in depth.
> You're not supposed to understand "the opposing argument", because it's fake. The real goal of this change is to increase the gap between kids whose family situation will give them an opportunity to learn actual math before college, and those whose family situation will keep them permanently locked out of college. This will ensure that the demographics of the next generation are even more skewed toward social instability and opportunities to replace "the current system".

There's no evidence of conspiracy and the history of public education is filled with fads, manias, and ill-conceived attempts at reform. Why would this be any different?

The Facebook lawsuit is older, hence why you are reading the judgement on an appeal of an appeal or something in that order. The timing on the Apple lawsuit is probably no accident; now that this "foreign state actor immunity" fig leaf is out of the way, the original lawsuit can proceed full speed ahead and is likely going to be fatal to NSO. I wouldn't be surprised if any victims of theirs similarly sue them.

"I have had my work censored before, but never in the United States..."

So it's not cool, but I don't know if this counts as "censored", as the author asserts. I found it for sale in my own hometown with about 15 seconds effort: https://hpb.com/products/far-from-the-tree-parents-children-...

Wiktionary lists the definition of 'censor' as:

"To review for, and if necessary to remove or suppress, content from books, films, correspondence, and other media which is regarded as objectionable (for example, obscene, likely to incite violence, or sensitive)."

...which is more or less how I hear the word used. I think the word that is accurate here is "criticized", or perhaps "stigmatized", and not even by a particularly high ranking official. Matt Krause is a member of the state legislature, and by the author's own admission is mostly grandstanding here, to try to make a flanking attack on the (also Republican) state attorney general. It's unlikely to result in much, and everyone involved knows it, including this author. It would be perhaps accurate to say that Matt Krause was uncool, but not that the book is "censored" in Texas.

Maybe HN is richer than I thought, but I shop at Dollar Stores all the time and have a very good paying job. And I’m not alone, it’s not just poor people who shop there (go to the one in Daly City and see the clientele).

This thread comes across as incredibly out of touch. It’s like a bunch of upper middle class who imagine themselves lower middle class and anyone who shops at Walmart (yuck!) or Dollar Store must be destitute. Despite those stores being pretty average places to shop for most Americans.

You can get killer deals there. They tend to sell two different things:1) excess stock they got cheap and sell cheap and 2) normally high margin items for less.

Their health section is amazing compared to say CVS or Walgreens. We’re talking 80% cheaper for the same thing.

Not everything is cheaper but a lot of it is.
I thought this was a school based entirely on a love of learning? Your questions don't seem to apply to TFA.

>Because this is a (unmitigable!) hardware issue in all Falcons which have SCP, not just TSEC -- we were also able to use the same attack on the Falcon unit used for GPU power management, recovering its (different) signing key as well.

In short, the same methodology, assuming you put a crap ton of time into reading this, and really grokking it, suggests this attack could be applied not just to Tegra, but any secretful Falcon.

> universities have become administratively bloated and primarily function as a very expensive resort community for 18-22 year olds

The worse thing is that people seem to really enjoy it. Every time I have a discussion on it with someone I inevitably hear arguments like “it was such a formative experience”, “university is not only for studying” and so on. It’s really crazy that a huge part of the population is convinced that pouring thousands of money into an overpriced 4 year holiday should be a societal norm.
For those interested in an actual answer, and to absolutely nobody's surprise, it is indeed earth's magnetic field.

These kind of anti-solutions backfire.

Say there's a real problem, the police are killing people. Instead of solving that... well few of us have any power over that, so instead we resort to changing things we do have power over.

Like… watering down math classes and pretending that is even the thousandth thing on the list of solutions that should be tackled first as a response. It's so far down the list (and has better remedies) that it actually hurts the cause.

It has everything to do with Algebra, because Algebra is only considered advanced because it's not taught until later. Primary school children are perfectly capable of doing algebra as shown by many other countries that teach much more "pure maths" in schools.
> There's no obvious reason to keep such information secret

One very obvious one, actually: if this is a weapon, then there's strategic value in concealing how much the gov't knows about it. This should be obvious, because it's been true for decades, if not centuries - the less your enemy knows you know about their weapons, the better. For instance, if (again, if it's a weapon) the gov't knew how it worked, and how to counter it, then the developer would begin to develop the next version of the weapon, and so any mitigations now would be useless - conversely, if the government didn't know how to counter it, then the developer could continue to deploy it with impunity. For another concrete example of this principle, look at the Cold War bomber gap[1].

And the government wouldn't have nearly as strong of an incentive as you would think. The creators (China? Russia? Cuba? Kekistan?) could (and do) always claim that the US is just making stuff up and it's not them (and people like yourself would believe them).

From the lack of response to the continued cyber-attacks from various countries over the past few years, it doesn't seem like the public would care very much, either. Or, the public might not believe the government - the white house released documents that claim that Edward Snowden was a compulsive liar and not the hero that the public believes him to be (although there's already good reason to believe that's the case even without those documents - just look up the fraction of leaked documents that were actually related to spying on US citizens), and everybody just says "oh, they would say that, wouldn't they" - so what's the point of revealing strategic knowledge to your adversary just to try to convince a public that's already made up their minds?

The podcast "Nice White Parents" makes a good case that gifted programs in NYC were essentially used to create two separate-and-unequal systems of education for black and white students inside the public schools.

If you don't want to call that a "racist" system we can call it an unequal system or a caste system; but the trend you're seeing is an effort to fix that system.

The people who were (unknowingly?) on the PLUS side of the equation, they're going to complain loudly as it gets leveled out.
It’s far more ethical than applying education theories that have proven to fail.
One of the high school math teachers explained to my brother “the square root of 2 is irrational because it says so on page XYZ” (true story). I’d say it’s fair to conclude that there exist math teachers who’ve taken Calc who can’t teach it.

Yep it seems like the "equitable" solution to failing children is to simply redefine success.

>Who exactly will be making money?

The holders obviously.

Bitcoin allows any Indian with a cellphone to easily exploit global arbitrage opportunities (BTC/INR and */INR to /) , bypass capital controls, and save money in a medium that the Indian government cannot debase. At least a few million people (especially the international traveler class) will find these characteristics extremely valuable whatever the status of local regulation.
I always imagined it like a BIOS setting allowing you to choose boot device order. The camera looks to see if something is available on the card first, if not then it just boots to camera. It's been so long since I've set up my camera to use ML, but I know I had to upgrade the firmware to a compatible version. Then IIRC, you load the ML data on the card and tell the camera to upgrade firmware again. So it maybe something that it thinks it is a firmware upgrade but just hijacks that process to boot a full thing instead. ???

Hmm…

Worlds 5th largest GDP, internationally desirable cities, some of the highest housing prices that’s always being bought over asking price, often in cash - internationally acclaimed state wide university system, one of the cultural & academic centers of the nation…

I know it’s like, my opinion, but I think the situation in California is fine. I’d look towards the states that have ranked last & near last in education for decades without any movement in a better direction before commenting on California.

Even more, for those who do well enough in k-12 in those dead last states… well, they brain drain to greener pastures. Like California.
That's a great point; I should definitely have included it in the list! I think new projects (especially ones that seek to innovate) have two phases: in the first phase, everyone's trying to kill it; in the second phase, everyone's trying to grow it. The kill-it phase is actually valuable for exactly the reason you outlined: it gives a small team the chance to create something highly coherent. (The grow-it phase is sometimes worse than the kill-it phase, but that's an entirely different story).

As one of those other team members of James's, I'd profess that if it's literally less than 50 lines of code, I'm probably still faster in Python (22 years of programming python). Otherwise, once things hit 200-300 lines, I can now sort of feel the overhead of more fragile refactors and longer debug cycles kicking in. So, for me personally, it doesn't take much of a codebase before the tipping point.
There are all kinds of possible explanations for this. If you look at this heatmap of vaccine uptake by age and time (you'll need to select second dose)[1], you'll see that the uptake percentage is fairly uniform across all age groups below 60 e.g. in March, but goes up fast for 55-59 in April, meaning the "10-59 + Second dose" group became older on average during that time. My best guess is that the uniform distribution early on was from healthcare workers; later on, the age-prioritized vaccination rollout changed the distribution.

There's a reverse trend that coincides with an increased uptake in younger groups: The age-specific death rate for "10-59 + Second dose" in June was 2,8 and went down to 2,4 in September.

One thing to keep in mind: When we're talking about the 10-59 age group on their second shot prior to April, that's only a population of 800k with a total of 16 deaths reported between January and April. Confidence intervals for this period are very wide and the upper confidence limit in the ONS data is quite close to what they're reporting e.g. for September.
