Really frustrating that these sorts of arguments usually devolve into making no distinction between "basically everyone can pass a high school math curriculum with the right resources and support" and "not everyone can be a world class mathematician". Those are both true!
> Which part of copyright law is the ContentID part? It's not in DMCA 512 anywhere I can see.

It's a measure to avoid legal ramifications under the DMCA and other acts.

> Many competing video services don't have anything like ContentID. But they also don't have priority search results on google.com, so content creators don't want to use them.

It's only a matter of time that they'll fold due to lack of interest, fold due to lawsuits, or implement ContentID or similar. Or they'll restrict and moderate uploads manually which has exactly the same effect, or perhaps even worse (still erring on the side of legal caution).
While that's true, the Green party and FDP seem to mean it, when they pushed for these rights and progressive legislation - and combined, they have the majority within the coalition. Here is to hope.
> I haven't seen anything uses of math in any of my jobs

Math didn't "click" with me until well after college, when I eventually caught up on a lot of calculus, discrete math, probability and stats, to the point where I ended up doing math most of the day as a data scientist.

Before I learned math I used to feel like you did, and would argue that math wasn't necessary to be a good programmer.

Funny thing is that only once I learned a lot of math did I realize how insanely applicable it was to a wide, wide range of problems I was working on. Because I had to learn it late in life I learned math more enthusiastically than most of my data science peers and so find that even in that domain people don't realize how often they can use math to solve problems better and faster.

I wish I had had better teachers in HS that were able to make me realize just how important math is to so many interesting and fun problems.

It's sort of shocking to me, looking back at HS, how many math teachers didn't have a good answer to "when are we going to use stuff?". I wish I could take some of my friends making high six figure salaries with a penchant for late night partying to explain to HS students exactly how math is useful because it lets you get a job where nobody cares how much weed you smoke, how late you sleep, and pay your more than many doctors all because you can do some basic calculus tricks. Plus you get to work on really fun problems.

> We don't have to clone anyone. We can do 2 very easy things: 1. Rehire the unvaccinated that were let go. 2. Pay our front line workers more.

Why would you hire somebody who is unable to do the most basic stuff to protect their patients (get vaccinated). Those people are obviously not suited for their job and I'm happy they are gone. There should be a list so those people never ever end up in a responsible job like that or at least need to get some MPU before they attempt it.

@2 you still won't magically conjure them out of nothing just because you pay them. You need to learn that stuff. It takes time.

> As someone who's unvaccinated and had covid, I honestly don't know what long covid is or why we should be afraid of it anymore than the long term effects of the vaccine.

I can't imagine how somebody can write such a thing December 2021 and still expect to be taken seriously.
fair. I may have been intending to reply to another comment, on second read. Sorry about singling yours out.
Seems like biomimicry had lots of interesting solutions like this. I can imagine some future drone designs looking more like a falcon than a geometric 4-rotor quadcopter, especially when trying to solve problems around efficiency and flying over longer distances with better flight paths.
> My complaint about these reforms is that the root cause of the issue is not being addressed.

The root cause is well outside of the scope of schools to address. Perhaps they can help to a small extent through things like lunchtime meals. But curriculum reform itself will never narrow the gap more than a tiny amount.

Childhood nutrition, single parent households, health of mother during pregnancy, culture/respect towards education as a virtue in the community and household, education level of parents and the time they have to play and talk with their kids.

All these things are going to impact the capabilities of young school children and feed into outcome gaps between various groups (Black vs White, poor vs rich).

I believe most proponents of "math equity" actually know all this, and are just maliciously virtue signalling either because they're jealous that their own kids aren't doing well, or for social credit.
Yet being able to map real world problems into math problems and solve them is an essential skill. In my class in Europe story driven problems were read aloud.
I don't doubt someone has built something like that for testing, though perhaps not as a library. I'm reminded of a networking service that does the same at a higher level, given its easy to remember name : https://github.com/tylertreat/comcast

>Florida was a bloodbath! It has had among the worst outcomes anywhere in the USA since mid 2021.

Yet, despite being significantly "older" than CA, it did significantly better than CA in 2020 with regards to all-cause-mortality. 2021, seems to be a different story at this point and I'm very curious as to the 10% difference between years (certainly seems to imply the virus has not burned through the population, assuming the virus had anything to do with mortality).

This is indeed not a good reason to learn Vim nowadays indeed. Vi has more chance to be present than nano on a stripped image by the way but I digress.

For me Vim started to make sense when remote work has begun to be the new normal. VPNs make with remote desktops make everything slower. I worked in places where we had to use two VPNs at the same time. Then I saw the hacker wizard kid using vim like he was Edward Scissorhands and how much more productive he was.

The parent comment literally admitted that they were removing specific complex topics.

That is what I was responding to.

"We need negative rights, not positive ones."

That is already the case, however certain players that have an incentive, have actively undermined not just negative rights in general, but they have also been undermining people's ability to understand the topic, let alone support it.

Most people don't really understand, especially today, is that the bill of rights does not establish rights at all, it is really a bill of laws that prohibit the government and all subordinate jurisdictions from impeding on right in the enumerated manner.

The reason the founders quickly realized they needed the Bill of Rights is because humans are scoundrels and if you don't set hard boundaries, especially the attorneys will start convoluting everything into knots; hence why they felt strong enough to put the scoundrels on a leash regarding certain rights, e.g., free speech, right to keep and bear arms, etc. As it turns out, even those laws making it illegal, prohibiting government from infringing on those specific things, was not enough to keep the scoundrels at bay. They have still twisted us up in knots to the point where people are and do gaslight others by saying things like that basic things like suppressing free speech only applies to the government. Don't worry folks, slavery is only prohibited when the government does it … you are free to enslave.
So you should be able to fix that by choosing an older kernel.
I've been using blender to prototype an addition to my house. It was surprisingly easy to pick up and I'm frankly astounded by the polish and capabilities of this tool. It's possibly the most complete and professional open source project that I have ever used.

Not only did I have fun using learning how to use Blender, but the model of my home that I built has actually turned out to be very useful. The VR support is especially neat, as I can take out a wall in my living room and then stand in the new space and see if it the changes I made work in (virtual) reality.

Highly recommended for anyone else thinking about doing work on your house.

I'm also thinking about using it to design some simple furniture that I could build, though haven't looked much into that yet.
I don’t actually care. Grey man principle applies. So your nefarious shit offline and look like a model citizen otherwise.

Stop spreading FUD. This has nothing to do with the science in the OP or the general public this is a problem just for you. Masks work and as long as they have to work the pandemic or "plague" as you call it is not over. A virus doesn't care about your feelings and it doesn't care about the subjective inconvenience of masks or getting vaccinated. You can decide for yourself if you want to take certain measures but stop spreading FUD based on feelings and bad strawman arguments.

It's a little of column A and column B. I don't feel bad for breaking their EULA though, Apple definitely has bigger fish to fry than chasing down hobbyists who want to toss their free-to-download software on a laptop without their blessing. The so-called "ethics" side of it isn't even on my radar, considering how opaque Apple is with their software and hardware distribution.

> Would be interested to know how you're thinking about your decision to run MacOS on your Thinkpad from that perspective.

Frankly, I just don't care or think about it for that matter. It took maybe 30 minutes to install, I marveled at how well it worked on unsupported hardware for about an hour, then booted back into Linux and forgot about it altogether. I don't see it as anything other than a cheap party trick, any hurt feelings that the world's largest company has towards it is just a complimentary bonus in my book.
I liked the idea and always wanted to use it more. I actually only used it once because I was dealing with a potential subscription hassle and that card actually got stolen! A bad charge was reported from privacy.com (and of course did not go through).

Pretty cool service.
I used to run a full Debian chroot on Android. It was very handy except that if you ran it on an unrooted Android device you couldn't be a user with full root capabilities. But gcc, make, tar, gzip, and git worked well enough to compile working stacks for other languages (the first software I built on it was Perl from source) as a regular user. Thousands of packages available and the ability to build from source, right on my phone in my pocket. They had other distros for it, too. Unfortunately that project - GNURoot - seems abandoned. Possibly fortunately a new one is from the same maintainers. I think I never used X on it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.ula&hl=en...

There's another called Debian noroot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu...) that appears fairly up to date but I haven't tried it. It's well rated but said to be slow. It includes XFCE and apparently starts it by default. It uses PRoot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=studio.com.tec... is yet another, and also uses PRoot. I have concerns about their page saying they have closed-source modded versions of F/OSS operating system distros though, and that they'll only provide source to developers who register with them. That's kind of unneighborly if they're customizing BSD or Apache licensed portions of a distro and illegal if they're doing it with GPL or LGPL portions.

My understanding is Amazon deforestation is to accommodate other land uses, in this case presumably cattle. The cattle maybe be used for beef and leather, but whatever the end use the forest impact is the same and focused on a shortsighted incentive.
I’ll concur to a point on financials - but older generation got married at 19 and had stable families, so it’s not truly about responsibilities.

Can you say how the Hero's Journey template applies to the Illiad?

How about the Odyssey?

The Epic of Gilgamesh?

The Kalevala?

The Mahābhārata (or just the Bhagavad Gita)?

Or the Ramayana?

Beowulf?

My guess is you can't. The "Hero's Journey" is too narrow and too simplistic to be applied to the major epic works of human cultures across the ages. It is a limited abstraction that only serves to describe perhaps a subset of literary works from a particular historical and geographical era and area, but by far not the universal story structure that it is claimed to be.
I think units are brilliant, and use them extensively in math and programming. However I often get sloppy and conflate conversion factors (60 minutes per hour) and quantities (44100 samples per second). This usually isn't a problem, as long as I use different units for sampling rates (samples per second) and waveform frequencies (cycles per second) instead of calling them both hertz. But things get messy when you're converting between multiple different sampling rates, polyphase resamplers ("64 subsamples per sample" etc.), overlap-add convolution (which has like 3 different quantities all labeled "samples"), and such.
Agreed. Although I do enjoy not having to commute.

As for the suggestions -

Get a social life - For one, I'm not too keen to do that. Going to a bar is not really an option. I don't quite link to have a drink just for the heck of it. And beyond a certain age, I really don't feel like socializing as I used to do while younger.

Have a hobby - Well, most of my hobbies are not social hobbies. I enjoy software and tinkering around with hardware, but that's about it. I do like going for rides, hikes and treks but that's because I enjoy the solitude.

I think there is a particular aspect of social interaction that gets fulfilled at work. Talking about some small things, not for too long. Meeting people face to face whom you've enjoyed working with. Sharing work related anecdotes. These have a special place which don't quite get fulfilled elsewhere. And all the while having a clear line which doesn't get crossed is a relief and one which we take for granted.
On the contrary, this could scale much better.

If the GraphQL server is a separate component, then a GraphQL query needs to do its own query planning, then the resolvers turn that into SQL queries to the database, then the database does its own query planning and execution for each query.

Since one GraphQL query will often turn into multiple SQL queries, there's likely to be duplicated work on the database side across those queries since they relate to the same data.

By integrating the GraphQL server into the DBMS, it can do query planning once for the whole GraphQL query, which means that it can reuse parts of the plan and prevent duplicated work and N+1 queries.

Either way it's going to have to query the database to get all the data, so the essential work is the same. But this way you have opportunities to reduce wasted work to process the whole GraphQL query.

It states that amazon deforestation is driven by demand for beef and leather. Presumably leather is easier to transport and hence global leather demand plays a role here? Just a guess though.
I do mean IFR. I hope you understand that the CFR numbers you're quoting, are also speculative estimates. :-) Almost certainly the number of infections is vastly undercounted as recognized by CDC's footnotes on their Data Tracker. As of middle of last year, the CDC estimates that 45-55% of all Americans had been infected with COVID.

And the irony of course is that these anti-racism policies that are based on the assumption that minority students aren’t smart enough to pass the tests and therefore the tests need to dumbed down to achieve social justice, are fundamentally racist.
Everyone is pretending like the word mandatory isn't in the article. You don't HAVE to work from home. If you don't want to be around your kids, go into the office. Making people go into the office and risk long term damage or death from covid is absolutely insane.
> Couldn't you just move to a larger and cheaper apartment since you don't have to live directly next to the office anymore? I don't understand, if the problem is your space, change your space.

Will you fund all my costs to move apartments? Transport costs? Costs to and from my social activities? I like where I am. I shouldn't need to move because upcoming generations doesn't enjoy office life. I get it, I really do. Commuting to work sucks, transport sucks, meetings suck but to ignore those who do actually enjoy being in the office is sad. I hate webcam, zoom, teams. I need real face interaction. It's an outlet.

> Once it's shut down, you're done for the day. You can give yourself permission to disconnect from work without forcing everyone into an office.

I disconnect by knowing that I can walk through my apartment door and be free from anything work related. Separation is how I disconnect. I like my own space, and it shouldn't need to be filled with work related objects. Otherwise my life will always be orientated around work knowing I have to have that one bit of space for a work laptop. That's not healthy.
If you look at the source of these terms they aren't as inflammatory and include a number of antidotes to how these can manifest in organizations - https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/
museums/files/White_Supremacy_Culture.pdf

I would personally say that this is sort of a manifestation of hierarchicalism which can be predominantly connected to white people in the United States but really transcends the racial dynamics and instead focus on accepting and promoting social structures that make those who have power over others feel like their power is justified and that those who question it or don't accept it are wrong.

For instance here is how they define paternalism:

decision-making is clear to those with power and unclear to those without it

• those with power think they are capable of making decisions for and in the interests of those without power

• those with power often don't think it is important or necessary to understand
the viewpoint or experience of those for whom they are making decisions
• those without power understand they do not have it and understand who does

• those without power do not really know how decisions get made and who makes what decisions, and yet they are completely familiar with the impact of those decisions on them

Here they present some antidotes:

make sure that everyone knows and understands who makes what
decisions in the organization;

make sure everyone knows and understands their level of responsibility and authority in the organization; include people who are affected by decisions in the decision-making

Is this directly related math, not necessarily and should it be tied exclusively to white supremacy culture, I would argue no but it can certainly be the case that the corporate culture of our hierarchical society has a lot of these problems. I just wouldn't lump it under a racial lens because I feel like that misses the mark.

I also agree that the short list included is sort of a disservice/reductionist as it doesn't explain how these are problems or how they can be overcame whereas the source document at least provides context and explanation.
Do you really believe they would have benefited that much from "advanced" classes in high school?

In every argument for and against any covid related policy, the debate falls apart when the participants fail to realize people have different risk assessments.
