The central point of contention is not whether the Common Core, which already emphasizes depth over rote learning, ought go even deeper. The contention is also not over whether we ought have more combinatorics or Linear Algebra in the curriculum, and nor whether schools ought be able to pursue CS or Statistics programs — they are already free to do so, although schools across the entire nation have largely failed to persuade universities as to the reliability of their programs, and thus they rarely count for credits earned or requirements met.

Instead, the central question is whether all students ought be in the same class up until the senior year, regardless of their individual ambitions or abilities in math.

For context, Californian math classrooms may have ratios of 1 teacher to 40 students, and classroom sizes are not penalized past middle school. This is the context under which teachers must somehow address cohort variability, the same context under which we might somehow expect an Algebra teacher have units planned for those who are ready for Geometry. This is not a realistic assumption of teacher competency.

Equitable Math would be a huge win for private schools and after-school programs such as RSM.
The curl binary will reuse the TCP connection when fed multiple URLs. Infact it can even use HTTP2 and make the requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Common pattern I use is to construct URLs with a script and use xargs to feed to curl.
I'm one of your technical brethren, and non-technical people aren't the only ones who think 2FA is a pain.

Don't get me wrong, the security benefits are worth it. But having to pull out my phone multiple times a day to enter a code from an authenticator app? Dude, my phone communicates with my laptop throughout the day. Why does this need me in the mix?

Digital OTP, like the kind provided by 1Password or Bitwarden, are a little more convenient. And having Google Voice means I can easily copy codes sent via text straight from my laptop.

But it's something I'd rather not even have to pay attention to. I don't need to manually enter a code to get HTTPS.
The first couple of photos are black and white. In 1990, everyone used color photographs except newspapers. Are they purposefully black and white to make it feel older?
Reading these comments. I did like it, overall, but not enough for breathless praise. I guess I’m the only one who found the series needlessly violent and forcing the plot points too much. It’s an overall trend I’ve noticed: tons of violence and almost no way to resolve conflict but with violence. Feels like a cultural shift toward war at times.
Thanks.

But its also the first time I noticed it. So, I guess that from my pov, its great.

I wonder if there's a use case for "distributed but not to the global internet as a whole"?

Maybe you could have a Blueboat Docker container running in each office for local office/intranet users? Or one in each of the datacenters your users VPN into? Some simple-ish dns based geographical or subnet routing for a handful of Blueboat instances in your various on-prem or local cloud zones should be manageable enough without need ing too much magic.

Not sure how to sensibly sync them all or centralise databases/storage for them though.

RSA soft tokens require a PIN. Some versions it's appended to the code, some you enter it to get the code (both exist in my organization). So that's like three more factors right there.
> our non-technical brethren

Nah. I currently work for NYU and find their 2FA system pointlessly burdensome. I need to type my password (in practice, unlock my password manager) and then procure my second factor every day, on every device I use. Inevitably any mobile app I need to interact with requires doing all of this again, except this time inside a custom webview that doesn't remember cookies. I have never worked for a tech company that made things this annoying, and I can't fathom how bad it must be for anyone who needs to use e.g. a screen reader.
The page you linked to doesn't have a single problem that requires "setting up equations with unknown variables and solving them." And as I mentioned, even in the US, "Algebra 1" isn't when Algebra in the sense of equations and variables is first introduced. Algebraic concepts are explicitly introduced around 5th grade (https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fifth-grade-math/imp-alg...), but problems that could easily be considered algebraic (whether through word problems or explicit placeholders) may be introduced as early as 2nd/3rd grade.

At least originally, they presented it more as "we link to large retailers and get affiliate fees, so we don't have a motivation to recommend any specific product in particular over competitors". Which is fair enough I guess, but "we want affiliate fees from you, if you disagree we downrank your product" is quite different.
Yah. I think we go about things all wrong.

Even "new math" is too rote/heavy on memorization of process. And not enough patterns/puzzles/games/etc.

We need to find a way that the math content can be interesting for 80% of the room, and provide competition where there's multiple axes of success and multiple ways to stand out. Then you get everyone in the room really trying.

Instead, what happens is this: we start with curriculum that is very algorithm-heavy, taught by elementary teachers who generally do not love math. Half of the kids struggle with the rote-heavy workload and fall behind, and it becomes a frantic effort to try and drill steps into kids' heads who just hate it more and more. For a lot of the class, this is very painful and zero-sum, and it's only fear of what the teacher will say to parents that generates any effort.

[Note, I do think there is a point around 3rd grade developmentally where it makes sense to drill some arithmetic processes, and around 8th-9th grade to drill some algebraic process... but algebraic ideas can come in well before that time and hopefully be taught in a way that makes them interesting].

We can't say that this is a purely GC benchmark. Generating and checking these trees takes time independently of garbage collection. Without a detailed report from the programming language run-time about how much time was spent in GC, it's just a guess.
If you don't mind me asking, do you know of any good resources for learning more about the scalability solutions of Solana vs Ethereum? I've only been in the space for about 6 months as an engineer and almost every document I've read in regards to Solana scaling are sure that they will not encounter the same scalability issues that ETH has had. However, they are direct competitors so I wonder how biased these claims are sometimes, from both perspectives.

Not how it works. Burdens of proof work in courts of law, but you can't make a statistical analysis without addressing whether the data being used is sound.

You'll see a bunch of first-year undergrad papers rely on mediocre data, and then do all sorts of straight-from-textbook statistical analysis of the data, with p-values computed to 5 digits, and then discuss the data's mediocrity in a "Discussion" section. That's a common trope. But if the data is mediocre, you don't have a paper in the first place! Your p-values are junk, so are the abstract and conclusion, and you can't hand-wave it away by bringing up easily-addressed problems with the data in the Discussion section; should have addressed them in the first place. A great physics prof said: "any figure without an uncertainty is meaningless". So is any statistical analysis that doesn't validate the data it relies on.

But all that's besides the point, since the article I linked gives good reasons to believe the original government data does display issues in the first place.

This is true of most levels of education.

That's not really true until an equity round these days. Companies who raise seed rounds on SAFEs and notes often avoid having a board. In the portfolio of my firm, that situation accounts for just over half of the initial seed investments we've made in the past five years.

Forming a board is an investment from both sides. It takes a lot of work to be a director or even an observer. At the earliest stages (pre-A) VCs are much more willing to keep it informal and avoid the distraction.

People in academia are smart enough, they made that choice voluntarily and nobody held a gun to their head.

It's a voluntary trade-off for lower pay to work in the field you want.

There is a difference between churning out code you really hate for 500k/yr, and doing what you are interested in for 80/10/150k. The vast majority people in software aren't aching to reinvent the wheel, but in a new js framework every year, they just do it for the money.

Research grant money is still money, even if the academics decide to take a trade-off others don't.

Sigh. We're working to normalize better UX around account security at https://clerk.dev

It's a sordid affair, but we're making progress. We've reduced our average time to sign-in by about 20% since our launch 6 months ago. (There's nothing to say our starting point was very good, but we do think about this very consciously.)

If you're working to improve your sign-in flow, our biggest wins so far have been:

- OAuth buttons at the top, critically with Google included. OAuth is _way_ faster than passwords for most users, putting it at the top switched oauth usage from just below 50% to just over 50%. Those extra percent using oauth bring down the overall average speed.

- Eliminate OAuth "edge cases." Turns out, they're not edge cases at all. 15% of users will sign up with email/password then try OAuth next, or will sign up with OAuth then try email/password next. Make sure you have happy paths for these.

- Magic links instead of OTPs for passwordless auth. Overall, magic links are a few seconds faster than OTPs since there's no entry step. (That said, we're still investigating whether it's better to trigger OTPs on mobile devices because of the auto-fill capabilities)

- Integrate with password managers. Our sign-in flow is normally two screens, but if we detect a password manager we'll accept the password on the first screen. Password manager folks are already the fastest, but this makes them even faster.

This is just the first factor. Admittedly, our second factor is still lagging behind, but UX is getting better for 2FA with FaceID & TouchID. We're optimistic we can have a positive impact on the second factor, as well.

Please actually read the article before making such indiscriminate accusations.

Pertinent part from the article in GP:

"Im letzten Kriegsjahr kehrte Schlör nach Göttingen zurück und wurde hier von der Gestapo verhaftet.

Man warf ihm vor, jüdische Flüchtlinge aus Riga bei sich aufgenommen zu haben. Schlör wurde im Volksgerichtshofgefängnis in Potsdam eingesperrt. Allerdings konnte der Ingenieur nicht verurteilt werden, weil die Haftanstalt am 30. April 1945 von der Roten Armee befreit wurde."

Rough translation:

"In the last of the war Schlör went back to Göttingen was arrested by the Gestapo.

He was accused of sheltering jewish refugees from Riga. He was incarcerated at the peoples' court jail in Potsdam. The engineer couldn't be sentenced since the jail was liberated by the Red Army on the 30th of April 1945."

Since he was actually arrested for this and they were preparing to sentence him, I'm gonna give this guy the benefit of the doubt.
> This can get tricky if you have 100s of thousands or millions of _roles_

If you use something like a bitmap index (e.g. Roaring Bitmaps), you can easily manage roles in-line on each user row if the role membership is typically sparse.

You can still maintain a separate Roles table as a canonical reference, but you would no longer need to join on it to determine who has what.

This one is my favorite, too—it really highlights what the job of a mathematician is. The board is the board, and the dominos either fit or they don’t, and it’s not clear why. But once someone adds the checkerboard shading—not changing the problem at all, but just adding a new way to look at it—suddenly the solution falls out, clear and obviously true.
> I'm curious why Dr. Collins believes so strongly that a lab leak was unlikely, that is his reasoning, given that he states SARS had leaked on at least a couple different occasions resulting in some deaths, yet was quickly contained.

My position is that kids should be taught math at an earlier age and schools should be properly staffed and funded to ensure positive learning outcomes for all students regardless of their socio-economic background because that will lead to more equal life outcomes.

>51. On information and belief, after obtaining Apple IDs, Defendants executed the FORCEDENTRY exploit first by using their computers to contact Apple servers in the United States and abroad to identify other Apple devices. Defendants contacted Apple servers using their Apple IDs to confirm that the target was using an Apple device. Defendants would then send abusive data created by Defendants through Apple servers in the United States and abroad for purposes of this attack. The abusive data was sent to the target phone through Apple’s iMessage service, disabling logging on a targeted Apple device so that Defendants could surreptitiously deliver the Pegasus payload via a larger file. That larger file would be temporarily stored in an encrypted form unreadable to Apple on one of Apple’s iCloud servers in the United States or abroad for delivery to the target.
> have the price reflect the externalities

> just make sure the cost they pay to do it properly reflects the all-in cost of the activity

The "just" here is hilarious, this is the problem that the minds of three generations have not yet been able to solve. Bringing in carbon taxes is excellent, but they are extremely difficult to do right, because any mismatch between price and externality is relentlessly exploited and arbitraged. The most successful schemes have been those that limit their scope to a particular kind of activity within a particular area, not "let people mine or idle their care or whatever other thing they want". You are asking us to levy a carbon tax on literally all human activity... this is truly bonkers. Best of luck administering the scheme.

Until someone manages to do it, we can still do whack-a-mole and ban things outright, in particular when an activity by its very nature so flagrantly backpedals every inch of our hard-fought progress, that any real carbon tax would inflate its prices so much as to immediately spell its demise. COP26 was centered around the "phasing down" (what a shame it could not be "phasing out") of coal-fired power plants. It is literally our best strategy right now, because all the enemies of the planet are still massive beasts of industries that should have to feel their legs crumbling beneath them and be spared no shelter in their collapse. One day, when all this fails and the beasts collapse too late, Earth's enemies will finally be the minor inefficiencies and minor choices, and you can assign them your little weights and measures then.

How much Time does 10 factor authentication take ?
This isn't how that problem was meant to be solved - it's meant to be a straightforward subtraction problem. For instance, this is a US 2nd grade subtraction word problem from Khan Academy:

Sparky the dragon was born with 28 spikes. He grew several more spikes as he got older. Now Sparky has 80 spikes. How many new spikes did Sparky grow?

Sure, this could be expressed as an algebra problem, 28 + X = 80, but the intention here is quite clearly for the student to see it as a subtraction problem.

> classes purely by age, and that any other method of sorting is inequitable

It's just "strange" that this is only done for academics, but never for athletics.

The fact that academic results can be thought of in "equitable" terms, but not athletic results (aka, you must be able to run 100m in X seconds), points to some systemic, cultural bias in thinking that everyone is just as smart, and that genetics don't play a role in intelligence.
Your average family physician reads exactly zero published papers per year, and would rely on Googling and reading health authority summary pages or media sources.
