Under current proposals, which have yet to be finalized, there are zero specifications for alternative tracks in math, including zero specification for Algebra in middle school. You seem to think that Equitable Math is an entirely separate proposal, and thus the authors of Equitable Math are just "some people". They are program architects. And the stakeholders? Why, all of California of course, including textbook publishers making decisions for 8th grade Algebra textbooks.

For schools under the Equitable Math proposals, the goal will be that for any given grade level, all children will be at the same level up until their last year. The explicitly stated reasoning by the program authors is that alternative tracks in math are a form of disparity which promotes White Supremacy. Will this in fact be the final final proposal? That is what is under debate right now.
> Firstly you cannot please everyone. And secondly, programs are not structured for pedagogy.

I would say that this is understating it, even. Not a Donald Rumsfeld fan, but his remark about the "unknown unknowns", that is, things we don't know that we don't know, is apropos.

Everyone knows about Quake 3's fast inverse square root with floating point bit hacking. It's a clever bit of code that, based on the comments, no one at id Software knew how it worked (at the time). And yet, it's not unnecessarily clever. It's not being clever to be clever to stroke any egos. It's critical to the entire game! (Tangent: Who here is brave enough to release critical, but mysterious code to millions of people and not have a panic attack?)

To bring this back to SICP, I believe I first encountered the recursive Fibnoacci function in SICP. It's a popular bit of code that demonstrates recursion in Scheme. The naive, but elegant version is:

(define (fib n)
(cond ((= n 0) 0)
((= n 1) 1)
(else (+ (fib (- n 1))
(fib (- n 2))))))

And of course, SICP goes into an iterative form and later goes on to describe a memoized form. Each version mucking up the elegance of the original tree recursive form a bit.

But what if you're terrible at math (cough, cough), and aren't aware you can do this:

(define (fib n)
(* (/ 1 (sqrt 5))
(- (expt (/ (+ 1 (sqrt 5)) 2) n)
(expt (/ (- 1 (sqrt 5)) 2) n))))

Readable? Understandable? Maybe to a mathematician. No recursion, no iteration, no memoization. I suspect most developers would say "what the heck is this?", much like they did with Quake 3's inverse square root function. Although this at least has a wiki page about it. Try Googling 0x5f3759df when Google doesn't even exist. Like the Quake code, this code starts losing precision with larger "n" values. There is also a matrix form which is a bit better, but requires many more multiplications. Which code is right for you? That's the question. Imagine you only ever need the first 20 values of fib sequence. You might opt for a hardcoded lookup table. More lines of code. But it's a valid trade-off.

This is a straw example, and Quake's code is a case of necessary optimization (as opposed to premature optimization). But the point is each person carries their own set of "unknown unknowns" with them. If enough people leave your project, then the unknown unknowns start piling up. You may even be tempted to rewrite your system. Now you've entered the hell known as the second system effect.

We can talk about communication all day. But I have yet to work at a place not tempted by the siren song of the rewrite or ended up rediscovering every bit of knowledge Fred Brooks dropped on the world more than 45 years ago. The Mythical-Man Month isn't even a long book. But I don't think anyone reads it today. I certainly don't think we would have went through the microservices fad if people understood the implications within that book.
So Youtube let him make a video but not make a comment? Something doesn't add up here...
Filecoin is only for paying others to host your content; you can host it yourself (as I do) or on a VPS and ignore Filecoin, and IPFS still works great.
I think one solution is to force Amazon to charge itself seller fees on its own products and listings like Amazon basics products. That would help prevent it from anti-competitively under cutting competitor listings on price.
According to the site:

> Compatibility with elasticsearch APIs for ingestion of data (single record and bulk API)
No. That's a good point and one of those things that having built-in language support helps. But if you are using method chaining (i.e. fluent API) that matters less.
> TikTok is targeting a different type of content, there is no competition with YouTube

This is not a logical conclusion.

Twitter is different to blogging (also shorter) it has killed a lot of the blogging market.

In fact, a lot of Youtube is too long, as the content producers chase the ad revenue.

Logically things will continue and everything will go to smaller chunks.

Not to mention all kinds of python version issues, especially given that botched 2-to-3 migration means there's a lot more Python 2 than there should be.
Not OP, but yep, my cards have been locked to the merchant.

I've only experienced this with Kickstarter and then a secondary payment collector (BackerKit, etc) where some extra charge had to be finalized, typically shipping or maybe I threw in some extra doodad, and then had it fail because that second charge wasn't technically the same merchant.

But this was fine and I was happy - working exactly as intended. I just created a new privacy card and updated payment.
Expanding an underclass of poor migrant workers does not help anyone. How would population growth help us when we also supposedly have a housing shortage in almost every city? Of course we should try to get elite athletes and academics to come to America, but the picture is much less clear for other types of immigration.
Lol "sometimes is enough, sometimes not" is a bit of a backpedal from definitively putting cancer into remission.

If it's an area of legitimate research for cancer treatment, then why do you lead with a reference to an individual crackpot - instead of even a poorly designed peer-reviewed study in a low impact forum.

Of the millions of possibilities, why do you assume that it was the keto diet of this individual that lead to their remission? Do you lack the imagination that it would likely be something else?

The trouble with deconstructing story in this way is the lack of a clear stopping point. How many degrees of abstraction can you go before anything can be interpreted to mean anything else? What conditions are necessary to ascribe to a concept the meaning its author intended? What if the author meant to use ambiguity skillfully, so as to convey multiple meanings with a seemingly singular statement?

What is right and correct thinking, and if there are exceptions, does that tie into some sort of meta-rule about rightness, and how should it inform our own internal storytelling as we manifest our lives?

I'm always left at the zen koan:
Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

Reality is that which remains after you stop believing in it. Interpretations and narratives with subjective contexts need to tie into the "chop wood, carry water" reality of the author, or your interpretation is invalid.
From my experience the ones pushing for these ideas are the fresh grad PMs trying to do something big for "perf". The whole platform feels like Waymo, driverless.
NSO is skilled at hacking androids, not making them. You know that; you are arguing in bad faith.
I'm not sure why this bothers me so much but it does not "sync between cloud storage providers".

I don't really know how this misunderstanding is so pervasive, even among the HN crowd, but no, no amount of magical code can make it possible to directly migrate between S3 and Google Drive. It's going to download, and upload to sync.

This is even reflected in the project's description line, which is more accurate than the current HN headline: Rclone ("rsync for cloud storage") is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers.

That having been said, it's of course invaluable software. Mounting 10TB of Google Drive into a Raspberry Pi running Plex is still something that feels like it should be harder to accomplish than it is.
Think about this in the scenerio of e.g. a publishing advance. Just means older people will get paid less, publishers will dedicate less to marketing their work, etc.
These statistics are scary. I believe that instead of worrying that "the robots will take all of our jobs" we should worry that the robots aren't taking our jobs quickly enough.

> Exactly why Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is slightly more effective than Pfizer’s is a big unanswered question.

Known since day one. The Moderna dosis is 3.5x higher than the Pfizer Dosis. Not a secret. Hence the titer curves deviate wildly. Pfizer drops down to 20% after two months, Moderna stays at 80% the whole 6 months. But of course the higher dose bears higher risks. Every doctor knows those key differences.
I should've added that I was on the advanced track and was a year ahead of most of my peers, though we had full class of > 20 students (in a graduating class of, I wanna say, ~100-ish) who were in this track. IIRC, it was a toss up what most students did for Math in the 11th and 12th grade. I do believe that the school offered a dedicated Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus course that many students took in the 11th and 12th grades, and there was also an Algebra-based Physics class that students could take, but I want to say that they were not necessary for graduation.
Yeah. There's a lot that Elasticsearch can do. There are libraries and applications that can do bits of what ES can do, but no-one I'm aware of (and I watch this space) is even slightly close to building a genuine replacement (I'm not counting the AWS fork, for obvious reasons)

“custom software written in Winforms or something that can't be ported”

I haven’t seen any of these in almost a decade. there are specialized use cases that require some specialized software, but for most business operations the software works cross platform or runs from web apps. I used to keep a parallels instance to run MS SQL server for some tasks but we have even transitioned that to a less propriety setup.

Many economic models assume economic profit is zero, meaning the owners could not use their time or money better in any other business.
You can't really call them a broken clock for your own subjective view. Epic games makes good games and a phenomenal game engine that's allowed countless devs to make great games with great graphics.

A big plus for me is that they used their massive force to sue, and eventually budge Apple of their 30% revenue cut on their walled garden, but that's subjective.
Let's keep it simple and comparable, and say the traditional retailer also has 34% gross margins.

In the wholesaler-retailer model, the process looks like this:

Wholesalers buys item from manufacturer for, say, $0.25. They sell item to retailer for $0.50, and keep $0.25 in gross profit. Retailer sells for $0.76, for a selling margin of 34%. The $0.26 of profit the retailer gets pays for the store, staff, logistics, net profit etc.

In Amazon's third party model, it looks like this:

Wholesaler buys item from manufacturer for $0.25. They sell item to end-customer for $0.76. They get $0.51 of profit! But now they pay Amazon a litany of fees amounting to 34% of the price the item sold at: 34% of $0.76, or about $.26. That leaves the wholesaler with the same $0.25 of profit.

The main difference in these two processes is that in the third party model, the wholesaler keeps the inventory on their books for longer, because they ship it to Amazon and then the inventory sits at Amazon (but is still owned by the wholesaler) until it sells. That means that even if they get the same profit in the end, they've employed more capital, and it gooses Amazon's return on invested capital (they don't have to own that inventory) while reducing the wholesaler's.
I like rclone for the wide array of storage options [1] plus a special crypt remote [2] that provides client-side encryption for any of the other storage options. There is also a browser GUI you can spin up locally if that floats your boat [3].

When I installed Catalina, only 6 32-bit apps were flagged. I had already known about one of them and had moved on to a replacement app. I had forgotten about the others and this was just some junk cleanup for me.
You might be right in your assumption. I've watched Tata Steel 2021 live with Peter Leko (ex WC challenger btw) and Tanya Sachdev analysing the games live without computer assistance (except eval bar sometimes but no lines) and then watched Gotham's recap the next day. The difference was obvious with Levy missing the most interesting variations and positions in the game, which is funny because he probably uses engines for these analysis videos.

I tell my car how it drives. Not a computer.

I don't want a computer making the decision as to whether I can drive the car I paid for or not.

Maybe when society finally makes its final swirl down the toilet and we're finally not allowed to use private vehicles on public infrastructure, being forced to use government/corporate sponsored vehicles - maybe then they can tell me how to use _THEIR_ vehicle.
I must have missed the part where girls were not expected to do just as well as the boys if they wanted to advance, and if they didn't perform as well, then we just changed the criteria for what constitutes success so the gender outcomes were equal. Women proved they were just as capable, arguably even more capable in many subjects, so we obviously do live in that world where the genders are equal in this sense.
Rescues typically house their dogs in foster homes rather than shared kennels, and are more likely to engage in rehabilitation and training than shelters are. Dogs at breed rescues generally get way more individual attention and care.

> the only argument you're left with is "the Rescue group will do a better job of choosing its home." Not proven and doubtful, sorry. Those people are volunteers with no training and no accountability. The shelter is going to be at least as good.

Shelters don't generally attempt vetting adopters to the same degree as rescues do, which is much of the source of annoyance with breed rescues that started this thread. Shelters are not going to be 'at least as good' at things they're not even attempting to do.

> The term is often used to refer to people running extremely sketchy for-profit operations

Yeah, no question. There are also people, like the family I got my first cat from, that like to breed animals and do their best to be kind to them. Perhaps some term that doesn't conflate the two groups would be preferable.
Like TikTok cloning Vine? :)
It's perhaps a shortcoming of the medium – lack of time – and to keep the script short & engaging for the viewers. In a similar vein, computer nerds are shown to write code or hack systems in no time, when in reality a lot of high-concentration hours are burned, but from the outside watching someone stare at a screen doing not much other than think just isn't that exciting, and in the same way chess games ending in draws again and again aren't that exciting to watch for lay viewers. Also, films like that tend to ignore the "team" element (whether it's in sports or computing) and tend to over-emphasize the single protagonist "genius", also unrealistic.
That's not really a good argument for the thesis that "there are no human races in the biological sense". Even if there were misconceptions embedded into the definition of the word "race", that doesn't mean there's no underlying biological reality to the differences between human populations that are identified by categories of race.
Agree here.

At my $WORK we run all of our backend on AWS but anything I've touched has to also run locally.

We use serverless framework, and there are plugins for running the lambdas locally as well as for dynamodb, sqs, ses and eventbridge.

I think it's a case of choosing your dependencies carefully though. I would be wary of integrating against an AWS service which does not have an API compatible offline or provided-elsewhere alternative.

A case where we fail at this is Cognito. Even our 'offline'/local stack has to connect to our dev environment for that one.
Somebody probably hacked your account and listed a bunch of macbooks for sale. If you list a bunch of expensive stuff with little history of selling eBay will ban you. It also depends on the items "you" list, for some reason apple products turn the fraud score up to 11.
That shouldn't have happened. The law is super problematic and they can, for example (try to) hit you for finding (or even stumbling over) and responsibly disclosing security vulns, if you were not hired to do so.

But the part about hacker-tools applys only for tools that cannot be used legally (basically none) or are explicitly and knowingly made or acquired to be used illegally (as in you explicitly stated you are downloading this tool in order to get into a computer you do not have permission to get into). They have to prove you are not intending to use it legally (like checking your own network or one you were hired to check).
Hmm I have seen many pages that look a lot like that page does (on mobile at least). I don't see anything that is impossible - I'd be fairly confident that I could do a pixel-perfect replica in HTML and CSS without too much fuss.

FWIW CSS is quite powerful these days - rotations, translations, overlapping etc are all trivial. You can absolutely position elements down to the pixel if you want.

People tend not to do these things any more though as they make for an annoying and potentially illegal website (accessibility laws), plus maintaing it is a pain in the arse as you lose all the reflow benefits of HTML that is screen size and shape agnostic

The battery is claimed to be 10 hours, but I didn't test it to that limit. The lenses were really good quality - at least as good as my Tifosi's. Very comfy and stayed in place, which is crucial for AR. They don't actually switch the lenses themselves from clear to dark, it's just the brightness of the text that increases, which is instant. But if you wanted to ride at night, you wouldn't be able to wear them.

I agree they're expensive, especially since they aren't self contained like a typical bike head unit is. I keep comparing them to the Form swimming goggles - which are also AR. I feel those are totally worth it. But the Engo's are just a bit too expensive for what you get.
yes i agree - its comparatively easy to create software that is optimal as long as it runs in a single machine.

I think it's really silly to fear the office at this point, but I hate offices enough that I will pretend to be silly along with them when asked by bosses.

Moderation here is quite opionated, isn't it? I would guess that it's a very conscious choice to not show votes or downvotes, since it makes commenter interaction even more contentious. I like it the way it is.
The sentiment of elderly become like children is very strong IMO and it actually makes sense; not in terms of innocence of children but the physical(and somewhat mental abilities) weaken as time progresses.

As per ancient texts, there are four stages to one's life. Brahmacharya (student), Grihastha (householder), Vanaprastha (forest walker/forest dweller), and Sannyasa (renunciate). I always wonder if the ancient Indians really did that and how the society would have looked back then.

With that said, modern Indian's diet is drastically different from what the ancients ate and also the daily physical work(insert yoga, going to rivers for water and rituals, farming etc) ancients must have done is very different. Not only that, the elders were considered scholarly and wise since they have the done the walk of life; and because of that, alms were given out by the Kings and other working men to the elderly. Today's society holds less relevance to all this and renunciation is clearly not an option and has faded away into the history.

Vanaprastha (forest walker/forest dweller) aka. hiking, and Sannyasa (renunciate) aka. off-grid are the new age terms and I find that very interesting idea to purse at least for my old age.
Actually it has. I guess I need to buy a car before 2026 :) . Hopefully someone will take it to court so that they have to have an opt-out. This is a bad move in the wrong direction. We need less government surveillance and not more.
I LOVE Blender, like, a kind of love that's embarrassingly too much for a software. No to mention that my work or hobbies don't often interface with 3D modeling.

So I have been thinking about what makes this project so special. I think it's the fact that the community owns it. So you don't have to ask for permission to do anything. Mix that with inherently creative people who approach the tool and you get:
