I am hesitant of having an opinion. These are luminaries that I look up to, but I fundamentally disagree with their opinion on this topic. Probably partially because I have been very frustrated with snobbish and disconnected[1] attitude towards K12 education among scientists.

But to actually answer your question. Better-off parents already bypass public education, even if not completely. If this new program works (not a given), the problem will not be exacerbated, rather more students will be prepared to reach for these "gifted programs" (which in many cases, even if expensive, usually have good fee-waivers as this gives them more credibility).

[1] Obviously just a personal opinion. But in the interactions I have had in this context I feel I have seen a lot of inflated but unsubstantiated sense of competence.

What are some good alternatives? I've heard bad things about almost every company in this space.
A little further south west, Sarnia. To be honest, it’s cheaper than London, but I don’t think by a lot. There’s also the option of living in Corunna, close to Sarnia, but even smaller and less expensive.

They could handle that by providing a simple solution: Randomize names.

This isn't about avoiding stereotypes though. This is about pushing a belief system and an agenda. A dangerously misguided one at that. Equity is about equal outcomes. Which you can only get through force because people have different preferences, different abilities and make different choices. Choices necessarily lead to different outcomes.

Equality and equality of opportunity, yes, please. Equity, absolutely not.
I just write simple code and it becomes very maintainable and easy to understand for anyone.

In my opinion, it's people who have the need to abstract away everything who complicates the code bases.

Give me simple, elegant code that doesn't complicate what the program does, and you have maintainable code that can be changed and deleted easily.

Second Robbins’ “Learning Web Design.”

Also, if you’re really a true beginner, also try “HTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide” by Joe Cassabona.

VQS is great because as you’re trying to learn an aspect of code, it includes a text explanation, what the code looks like and what you should expect to see on screen.

Good luck! Have fun! :)

Edit: “Hello Web Design” by Tracy Osborne is good for learning graphic design principles as they relate to the web. If you can get a copy of “The Non-Designers Web Book” by Robin Williams, that one’s excellent, too. It’s old, but the principles still apply.
Few with such spectacular failure modes, though.

I had considered it briefly. Unless it is for a tiny number of residents (2?) then I think that the CQC will want to come and do inspections. It would be necessary to assume that the residents are, or will soon become, highly dependent (needing 24/7 care).

In the UK I believe that at least two qualified nurses are required on site at all times, plus carers sufficient to care for the needs of the residents. Assuming 8 hour shifts you will need to triple that number. Multiply by a further 7/5 to account for weekends. Multiply by a further 52/46 for holidays, sickness and training. Add some for receptionist, accountant, handy man, cook(s), cleaners, manager(s).

That is quite an overhead just for wages. Add to that any mortgage for the property, heating, rates, repairs, office equipment, etc, etc.

With rooms becoming vacant and requiring redecoration between residents, there will not be 100% occupancy. The cost to break even is substantial. Even commercial care homes go out of business quite regularly. I can understand why residential care is so expensive.

Having been a frequent visitor to care homes I know that many / most of the residents most certainly do not wish to be there, and want to be back in their own home. Almost all of the staff do a fantastic job, doing unpleasant tasks without complaint, and doing their utmost to create a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

The existing care system is very expensive for users. A more informal arrangement with less bureaucracy providing care at home would be useful.
Haha, so relatable. That's what it's felt like every time someone has tried to onboard me to a project at work, without giving me a chance to ask (enough) follow-up questions and build up a clear domain ontology as they go.

On top of that, said explainer will complain that their work is "super difficult" and "hard to explain", but then, if by some miracle I can get them to sit still long enough and get up to speed, "miraculously" I'm able to onboard others.

I swear it's not a super-power! I just don't assume a ton of context!

* Longest World Championship game ever played at 136 moves.

Outcomes for very sick people being worse is taken into account so providers aren't punished if their success rate is lower for those patients. We have all the data we need to know what the outcomes should be for a provider over the course of a year. Anyway, providers have to precommit to their pool of patients, so it's not like they can just pick the lucky ones.

Capitation is admittedly a much more complicated way to administer health care, but fixing the incentives is absolutely worth the pain we may face in the short term. Which we might not considering how well these programs have been shown to work.

I think about this a lot and I do tend to think that better analogies and metaphors can help people get into programming.

Two areas I've mined for analogies are cooking and legal work.

There is a book called developer hegemony that I have not read yet. As I understand it makes the comparison between software developent and being a lawyer. Seems like there might be some good ones in there to use.

The other one is cooking. When I talk to people about writing code who have never done it before one of the concerns they often have is that they could never write it exactly "right" that it's too complicated in that way. I like the analogy of cooking here to try to explain that while there is the 5 star chef version, there is also making a grilled cheese at home. I think you might be able to take that analogy pretty far. Comparing meals to software and so on. Talk about ingredients as libraries, that sort of thing ("you can start with flour or there is some delicious puff pastry in the pip3 cabinet")

To be frank, it's annoying to go to a HN comments page and find the inevitable "popular tool x sucks because I didn't like it" comments. It seems like they're everywhere, on every link about every tool or product on HN. It's a buzzkill. Of course not everybody is going to like Vim. This link isn't trying to convince anybody of anything, it's just there for anybody trying to learn.
I honestly do not see the difference in health risk. Reinfections are rare but will be more common over time, just as with any other coronaviruses (or most upper respiratory viruses in general). Fortunately the vaccines and other treatments are pretty effective, and the natural immunity from surviving an infection typically reduces the symptom severity for subsequent reinfections.

The evidence indicates that another coronavirus HCoV-OC43 probably caused the 1889-90 pandemic and killed millions of people worldwide. The same virus is still endemic. It doesn't kill many people today because most of us get infected as youths and then retain some level of immunity which protects us later in life.

Yes, but also keep in mind Ian has a lot of agency. Throughout the first 6 games, he has had moments to make the games more chaotic, increasing the chances of one side having an advantage, and thus far he has almost always played calmer, less chaotic moves.

Now he will likely have to change tactics and enter into more aggressive and risky ideas. It should increase the odds of a decisive result one way or the other going forward, regardless of whether Magnus is "playing for a draw" or not.

I play Kerbal Space Program, so I know a thing or two about orbital mechanics! (I'm only 30% joking -- many of the answers on the Space Exploration Stack Exchange say "Go play Kerbal Space Program, then you'll understand). Yes, that horizontal velocity is hard to attain, but that's what 2nd stages have always been for. We're only talking about replacing the 1st stage, which is by far the most expensive. You're still way better off already being at orbital height, never having to accelerate directly against gravity and through all that air resistance. And the speed you need to reach orbit is less the higher up you are.

> The projectile is rotating once per turn of the centrifuge.

I keep trying to challenge this, but I think you must be right. I was thinking the angular velocity would be smaller than the arm, but it must be the same. Still, the angular momentum can be much smaller. And I'll paste my proposed (possibly infeasible) solution to that from another answer:

Attach the payload at two points in a narrow V, equidistant from the center of mass. In the instant before release, fire pistons that slightly extend the upper arm and retract the lower arm, applying the exact amount of force you pre-calculated was needed to counteract the differences in rotation between those two points. Release while this (hopefully uniform) force is still being applied.

Yeah, you're jolting the hell out of your payload, but that's peanuts compared to what it's about to experience anyway.

Because the competition is being done by throwing money at it... and not in the let's build a fantastic, quick and nice launcher with a world class user experience and amazing tools for developers...

But in the same way VC funding artificially lowers the costs/prices to the consumer until they've captured a market and then bam, time to pump them for all they've got.

I use it to just grab a game if it's free... and every time I realise they still haven't added dark mode to checkout to match the rest of the app, and get my retinas burnt by the sudden contrast flip.
>"I will hurt my favourite content creators as they won't get that thousandth of a cent they get from my Premium view."

That's why I choose to reward them through non YouTube platforms like Patreon. I've also noticed a huge trend in content creators making sponsorship deals that they embed in their own videos. I sense that canceling your YouTube premium won't hurt them as much as it used to in the past. Plus, you can give a portion of your subscription to them directly, should you so choose.
This game is a counter-example of a long boring game. It was a long exciting game.
Childhood pieces have survived years of abuse, but some recent pieces from the last few years have had issues, either outright breaking or crumbling.

For example, the 1x3 sloped pieces in some of the newer sets are super fragile near the edge. Similar pieces from many years ago survived.

It's unclear whether the modern set designs are putting new strains on weaker points or if the material quality is worse, but either way the result is a doubt about the longevity of the pieces
I usually have the opposite problem. I end up writing clean code because it's the only way I can keep everything in my head, and hence can keep things straight. But it does make me a slower programmer than others, since maintainability takes thoughtfulness, which takes time.

That doesn't seem to get rewarded in startups, because often times, your goal is to test the startup hypothesis--and you end up throwing away code anyway. I think only two of my code bases have survived to this day in my whole career.

I am convinced that it pays to be faster, since you have more times at bat trying out ideas. I have adjusted and found some ways to eschew clean up because it doesn't matter in the long run, but I'm still struggling to find the right balance after all these years.

Anyone out there have heuristics that helps them with this struggle?
In general as skill increases (assuming the competitors are evenly matched), so does draw rate. Human grandmasters draw much more often than human beginners, and engines draw even more than human GMs.

This is one of the intuitive reasons for hypothesizing that chess is drawn with perfect play, even though we can’t prove it.
In hindsight, yes, it's basic for sure. But in the heat of the moment after 7 hours of thinking about nothing but chess, Ian obviously missed the potential fork and was visibly surprised that Magnus left his rook to be attacked.

No, because you don't have to carry your fuel with you.

A rocket engine is subject to the Rocket Equation, where the amount of fuel you need is exponential in the amount of velocity you're trying to acquire. If you can impart all of that energy on the ground, you don't have to use 90% of the fuel to lift 10% of the mass halfway, and then 90% of that to get you the rest of the way, meaning your rocket outweighs your payload by almost 100x.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

In this, the fuel all gets to remain on the ground. It's a bit like if you could take your capsule and put it on top of a giant exploding pile, getting all its speed all at once. You'd need a lot less fuel that way... except you wouldn't survive the explosion.

The energy savings of this are great. Everything else is completely bonkers.

No one has argued Youtube isn't allowed to do it. It is just customers complaining about the move. If McDonalds got rid of their Big Macs, people might complain about it, but that doesn't mean that McDonalds has a hamburger monopoly or that the complainers think McDonalds did something illegal or something they weren't allowed to do. It is just customers complaining about a feature they liked being removed.
I can see why people would be annoyed at being shadow banned. Alternatively get your circle of friends to upload videos to your own site and manage the comments/spam as you see fit. I am not convinced by the arguments that Youtube is needed to handle bandwidth unless you are popular in which case you can probably afford throwing a few small CDN's at the problem. The harder part would be finding advertising partners and embedding code for sponsors but apparently some youtubers are finding ways to do it.

Besides the nationalism and pride, you also need the majority of people to trust the government and the government to actually do things for the majority.

Imo, that's why Germany gets a lot of things right in that regard.

It seems like the majority in the US don't like their government and the government couldn't care less about them.

This is the same disconnect seen in many other countries, and clearly it affects the nation as a whole.
