What among these is "indoctrination"?

> "teachers need to work consciously to counter racialized or gendered ideas"

Is this wrong? Is it indoctrination?

> "Are there word problems that challenge gender stereotypes?"

I don't see the issue here. Should all word problems reflect 1920s America and ask about the challenges with the dust bowl harvest and how many bathroom stalls you need to serve a particular crowd, accounting for segregation? No that's silly. We want word problems to reflect the world we live in today, which means sometimes having physician Alice and nurse Bob.

> "Learning is not just a matter of gaining new knowledge—it is also about a change in identity. As teachers introduce mathematics to students, they are helping them shape their identity as people"

There's lots of discussion about how women especially, but also lots of minorities, seem to leave STEM after primary school. To me, this seems to be reminding educators that they should make an effort to keep these classes engaging and inviting for people who leave, in case the cause has historically been something in how we do math education.

> "Students are able to take what they noticed and named – in this case, how gender played out in the problem"

This is talking about teaching critical analysis (in the "how do I analyze a text" sense, not the "race theory" sense), where the teacher uses a math word problem as one of a number of places to do this. There's nothing wrong with this, in fact its actually really good to read critically in all contexts!

there is nothing one would see where the teacher is doing it critically either. you just assumed they were because it fits your worldview. "yes, I believe this so children should be brainwashed at an early age to push the agenda that suits me"

This is childhood rape. Those teachers are in a position of power and students are rewarded for believing what ever the teachers say as the truth. This is wrong.

Ask HN: How to transition from solo founder / engineer to CEO?
I was a solo founder of my SaaS for 3 years, and my sales-focused partner joined 2 years ago. We started making money in year 4.

We’re doing ~$18k MRR and seeing strong growth. We just hired out first employee and it’s going great.

I’m the “CEO” but I still write all the code and handle all the engineering. I’m a huge bottleneck on the company.

We believe the market is still very early and will explode over the next few years. We’re raising money and it’s time for me to become the big-picture leader that the company needs, but I’m struggling with how to get there.

- I’m worried the the codebase is an absolute mess and that nobody will be able to take it on.

- I’m worried that the next person that works on “my baby” won’t have the same care that I do.

- I’m worried I’m not cut out for a leadership role and that I'm "just a coder", even though I want to stop coding on a daily basis

Do you have any advice on moving from lead engineer to CEO?

I know this is going to be a personal journey for me and I want to be as well equipped as possible to serve my team.
Google is sometimes the same - presents an option for either calling an agent (never worked for me) or buying same flight for $20k. Then you go to SkyScanner and get same ticket for maybe 10% more but via dodgy-ish website.

Can a former model predict your future? A million Turkish users say yes (2020)
The negatives are all constructed by the financial system, though. People need two incomes because everyone else has two incomes (two incomes are also usually more tax efficient than one big one). Why aren't people financially stable in their 20s? They're literally in the prime of their lives. Much less likely to fall ill etc. Essentially everyone has to delay their lives until later because everyone else is delaying their lives until later. There are no benefits I'm aware of with having children later (outside of the financial stuff) but there are many, many downsides.

How would higher prices work in favor (sorry, favour) of the average citizen?

Amazon promotes items that it sells for the lowest price. Your local supermarket sends out a flyer every week with all the items it has put on sale, then makes sure those items are easy to find in the store. It's the same thing. Or maybe you want Senators to have final approval over supermarket flyers too.
This. People use 100% screen brightness then try to compensate w/ low contrast colours.

I see a lot of colleagues messing with low-contrast color themes for their editors. I use the default Emacs one (black on white), but my screen brightness is always at around 20-30%.

I've learned the rule is to set your screen brightness _as if_ it were a piece of paper being illuminated by the ambient light.

In National Security contexts, the "get angry at the weapon seller" response is very strongly correlated with how advanced (in technology, power, and scarcity) the weapon is perceived to be.

For an "average soldier" weapon, such as an M-16 - $Company isn't likely to catch much grief - unless they're selling a considerable quantity of them, or to an extremely notorious buyer. Similar for a cyberweapon - but an "everyday" one, which wouldn't be a big surprise for a C-list ransomware group to use.

I recently got the Fender Strat kit and I thought I was missing a few pieces but it turned out I was using the wrong color. The amp is made of a lot of gray pieces with various shades between them. The problem is that the instructions are printed on that glossy paper that doesn't really use the exact color of the brick so a direct comparison is impossible. For sets with very distinct colors, it's fine, but because this one had 3 different shades of gray, it was hard to tell which was which, especially when you factor in taking a day off in between building times.
I, uh... should preface this by saying that vim is my main editor, and I always install a vim plugin if possible when using a different one. It's great, it makes me faster, etc. etc.

Alright, that aside, when all is said and done I think a lot of people just want to edit their file. Parent comment about having to go to Google to do simple things makes a good point, and the response that "actually, I think having to read a bunch of troglodytes arguing with each other on Stack Overflow is an important part of the experience" is the kind of thing that makes it hard for everyone else to take vim fanatics seriously.
The entire point is not to emphasize the advanced education topics -- which are actually offered pretty universally in California schools -- but to increase the number of students actually _taking_ those classes through the entire pipeline, and to embed those concepts in a more consistent, structured way.

I'm not sure why how you get "walk back the complexity of education" when it's obvious that the current system is broken.

Again going to a line with cursor is not even enabled by default on vim. Instead we have to add "set mouse=a" in .vimrc. I guess it's a luxury to be able to do that so one needs to lookup online for how to enable very basic and core features.
> Would this vector stop at length two? How about other "nudge" worthy metrics?

that's a good point. there's definitely other societal goals that can be nudged toward through prices.

but on another hand, i'm not sure thinking about prices as vectors is that helpful. to change behaviour a regulator needs a way to internalise the external costs into prices, or some equivalent mechanism, and some enforcement mechanism for non-compliance.

but if you have all that, it isn't clear what use price vectors are. and if you only had price vectors but the extra components weren't reflected in the price, with no enforcement mechanism, then they won't change behaviour.

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. Maybe try that whole getting a pet thing. Even with the office as a social outlet I wouldn't want to live in a 1 bedroom apartment very long. Also consider using a separate computer for work and nonwork stuff, and turning the work computer off at a specific time. 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.

Sure, it is a smart design, probably the best we have thus far, but it is not a perfect system. We are fortunate to live in an era where it doesn't matter, we can move somewhere else and be fine. But we could face a situation were the locals control important natural resources, and the locals may not want to share with those outside the boundaries. Then wars usually result.
> layering the religion of social justice

You can argue the best technique to accomplish the goal, but `social justice` just means that you believe every person deserves an equal opportunity to thrive. That is not a religion, that is the American dream.

Social Justice is simply the idea that we actually need to work towards providing the American Dream to everyone. That shouldn't be controversial.

I teach math at a community college. It is all about removing complexity. The idea in education is that everyone is intellectually equal. Therefore the racial achievement gap in mathematics is due to racism. The solution is to change things. Too many POC students aren’t placing into college level math therefore get rid of placement test and get rid of remedial courses. Create new college algebra with just in time tutoring and voila, no more racial achievement gap. If you dumb things down enough everyone passes and we can pat ourselves on the back and claim to have solved the racial achievement gap.

My complaint about these reforms is that the root cause of the issue is not being addressed. This has long term negative effects. My own anecdotal experience is that what used to be a C is now an A or a B in my classes and I’m passing people who don’t know anything. I’m judged by the passing rate so I’m maximizing that metric. These reforms are just doing what I’m doing but in a less forthright way.
It really depends on on why would you do it in the first place.
Not sure, from other comments I gather the goal is to de-emphasize the idea that you need to be gifted to be good at math, which studies apparently have shown that this idea tend to discourage other students, often girls or racially disadvantaged boys, which do have the ability to succeed at math, to pursue math or be interested in it.

I don't think anything is changing for truly gifted students, they should still have the ability to be fast-tracked or options to take more advanced topics. It seems more that it's about focusing on students who don't see themselves as gifted or who aren't yet showing signs of it.
Feedback != QA
The history of encryption it includes doesn’t dwell West Germany.

The West German government had a reputation for supporting strong crypto (unlike the East Germans and Nazis).

They were aware that many of their day-to-day communications were being intercepted by the East Germans (much as they intercepted East German communications).

Many West Germans had loved ones in East Germany who could at least in theory face negative consequences for the actions of West Germans.

West Germany simply couldn’t be free without strong crypto.
Ideally it would be a constitutional ammendent, stating that privacy is a right of every citizen, and a human right.

Legislation to the right to encryption would then just follow from it, but having it in the constitution would make it harder for future governments to pass certain kinds of legislation, or if they pass them, the supreme court would declare them inconstitutional.
> People can be taught much more mathematics and science than they normally learn.

I don't disagree. But holding back advanced students is no way to accomplish this.
A sensible suggestion i've found in regards to code duplication and DRY is the rule of three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(computer_progra...

If you run into the same code three times, that's when you consider refactoring. Of course, in practice it can be ignored like any rule as long as you keep the ideas behind it in mind (small amounts of duplication are usually manageable).

Sometimes you have a shared context which might indeed use the same code and you'll want to apply DRY sooner, whereas other times you'll have code that is the same only incidentally, but is a part of two or more different contexts which may evolve independently.

Edit: If only we had tooling on top of Git to give us hints about how the codebase has evolved over time, like: "Hey, this file is 84% similar to this one other file, which was added under ISSUE-2415 3 years ago by $PERSON for $PURPOSE. Click here to see the current diff between these files and how they've evolved over time."

The current workflows around git blame feel lacking, especially if you are ever dealing with files that have been deleted (e.g. the "origin" for the current file was actually a different file that was deleted way back for another reason that you won't know about now without digging through the Git history for thousands of commits).
The difference is that private schools teach math/reading/writing at high levels. Otherwise parents would not put up with the political stuff that also gets packaged in.
Depends how you define "sick". The purpose of a vaccine is to create an immune reaction. That can be unpleaseant for a short time, but does not qualify as being "sick" in the deeper sense. Especially it doesn't compare to the effects a Covid-19 infection has, up to long suffering or death.

"Before the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution there were 48 students in class one in Qunli Elementary: During the six years of obliteration by revisionism on the educational system, 13 students dropped out.
