> schools are in a constantly losing race to serve all students needs, as guaranteed by the 13th-15th amendments

I'm not following how those amendments establish a public school system or control it.

But regarding your last sentence, I agree. The concept of "no child left behind" necessarily means you optimize for spending your finite resources in the areas they will have the least return on investment.
Better yet, don't give them an email address at all. The UI would make most people think it's required, but it can be left blank. It will nag you for a while to add one too, but that banner can be removed with uBO.

Kind of like typing "n <Enter>" probably brings you here, and typing "p <Enter>" brings up, erm, Pinterest.
>>>Giving away children with no paper trail to christian adoption agencies is abhorrent in the extreme.

Children with "no paper trail" often a) aren't with their own parents b) aren't there by choice. Why would you classify an adoption agency, which might try to place them with a loving family, as "abhorrent"?

>>>Purposefully worsening conditions punitively in regard to food, sanitation, and medical care rather than housing people temporarily and humanely should not be policy. Locking people up with no means of redress for extended periods of time is also criminal,

All of that is pretty much "situation normal" for pending deportees here in Japan.

In my experience, the perception among successful foreign immigrants here is "Do things the right way and this almost certainly will never be a risk for you. Insist on breaking the laws and you will get ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED. This isn't nice, but it is just."

>>>That does not mean I'm willing to support traitors who attempted to co-opt the democratic process while aligning themselves with a nation state that is our enemy.

You're right, you should give no quarter to those in our halls of power who have aligned themselves with China.

Russia: 150 million people, $4 trillion GDP, primary threat vectors are against globally-irrelevant Eastern European states

China: 1.3 billion people, $20 trillion GDP, primary threat vector is against the lynchpin of the world's semiconductor industry

If half of our elites are in bed with Russia, and half are in bed with China....shouldn't we be focusing more energy on extirpating the ones aligned with the more dangerous threat?
If you are an author that wants to monetize your site by putting ads that track your users, I have no sympathy for you. You already have a "middleman between creators and consumers", with the difference that this one is hostile to the users.

Yes, Brave flips this and puts the burden on creators and make it more difficult for them to track the users, even if involuntarily. As an user and as a creator, I prefer it like this.

> What evidence is there that vouchers are helpful?

> James also said that school choice has “not proven effective at improving education.” That is also highly misleading. Ten of the 16 random assignment evaluations on the topic find that private school choice programs increased math or reading test scores overall or for student subgroups at a fraction of the cost. Only two of the 16 random assignment studies, both of which examined the highly regulated Louisiana voucher program, found negative effects on test scores. And four of the six rigorous studies on the topic found that private school choice increased educational attainment overall or for student subgroups. None of the six studies found that school choice reduced educational attainment.

Of course not everybody. Public school teachers and administrators will suffer tremendously should school choice be more widely adopted.
If Google establishes that the venue they're suing in has jurisdiction (which seems pretty clearly established, since it's where a substantial amount of the damage has happened), then the judge is going to let the case proceed. If at that point the defendants don't bother to show up and don't respond to subpoenas Google will eventually win a default judgement. If the defendants don't comply with the default judgement (why would they?) the judge might hold them in contempt, and then they won't be able to travel internationally to anywhere willing to extradite them or keep assets anywhere that will seize them on behalf of the US government, which is most of the world.

You eventually get there: the US blows a ton of cash on private education, but our public education expenditures -- which this thread has been about up to now -- are unexceptional compared to peer nations. Smack-dab in the middle of the usually pack, really. (And we're also a far less dense country than many of the countries we technically out-spend, which is notable because rural schooling is horrendously expensive on a per student basis.)

If you rolled back to 60s level spending, even inflation adjusted, we'd be down the bottom of that distribution.
...and the solar panels would help better if placed optimally - in the open with no residential shade trees or neighboring houses; grouped for efficient maintenance and electrical conversion; on the ground where they could be adjusted as needed for time of year.

Man, what a ride Reddit must have been. I wonder if any of the original team are still there, or if they still have any equity.

One of the first useful things I ever programmed was a Greasemonkey script to collapse comment threads on Reddit before they had the ability to do that. They implemented the collapse feature a few weeks or months later and made it useless. I still like the way my script worked better though, it left the top comment visible.

I wish I hadn't deleted my original Reddit account. It would probably be one of the older ones around by now.

I saw yesterday that gilding in /r/AskReddit have paid for 868 years of server time. It seems like they might be able to make a vanity payment model instead of just advertising. That would be nice. If they made the old.reddit.com interface available by subscribing to Reddit Gold only, they might make a fortune off of just that...

Can anyone link to an article that goes into goes into detail on how the botnet uses blockchain to recover the botnet after they disrupt the c2. This seems interesting.
> Unlike conventional botnets, the Glupteba botnet does not rely solely on predetermined domains to ensure its survival.

> Instead, when the botnet’s C2 server is interrupted, Glupteba malware is hard-coded to “search” the public Bitcoin blockchain for transactions involving three specific Bitcoin addresses that are controlled by the Glupteba Enterprise.

>From time to time, the Glupteba Enterprise executes transactions in those addresses, and as part of those transactions, the Glupteba Enterprise leaves in the blockchain the location of the domain for a back- up C2 Server.

Nice, the faster people start treating public blockchains as pay-to-write-once, read-for-free, databases and the native cryptocurrency more like fuel for writing, the quicker this “currency” debate ends for something more intelligent and aligned with reality and the market behaviors.

Not sure in this case, but some of the medications for which prescriptions are necessary in the U.S. are absolutely absurd. Where I live in another country, if you need many common medicines, you just walk into a pharmacy and ask for them. Done. I can understand clinically controlling sales of antibiotics and heavy pain killers or opiods but requiring a prescription for birth control pills, or prednisone, or so many other basic things that most people know how to use just fine? What infantalization in the name of paranoid "safety" theater.
And if it's Tesla we're talking about, they have extremely powerful custom AI chips already in production in their vehicles, more powerful than AGX Xavier (I have one of those!).

Tesla also has what is in my opinion a very good AI system (Dojo) for training machines designed to operate in the real world. I think it could work for a humanoid.

And I pointed out in a neighbor comment but both Boston Dynamics and Agility Robotics use dynamic walks, not static walking. I agree they would do much better on the Darpa challenge too. This video from Agility shows some tasks similar to the Darpa challenge:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jycdks836bY

Tesla is IMO in a good position to do something with humanoids especially if they buy Agility Robotics and slap their AI system into it. We know they can do the manufacturing and Musk does love to buy companies for their tech.
Yeah, imma go ahead and pour some gas and light the torch. Those movies are amazing. And flaws aside, great cinematic storytelling.

> it begs the question of why we keep building them.

It's harder to build a minimal system which fits users' needs like a glove, than to stuff in options to fit each new issue discovered. So developers build complex systems (eg. I built corrscope's arcane settings system), often because they don't know the domain well enough to design a clean elegant solution with the right abstractions. But the resulting complex configuration system is harder to learn and use than the ideal solution (which may exist, may be possible to build, or may be impossible).

Though minimal systems aren't always viable either, when different users may want different programs. Some people want MS Word for its WordArt, some people want tables of contents, some people want something like Markdown, some people want change tracking. Some people want Vim, some people want Emacs, some people want Notepad++, some people want an IDE. I want tabs in a terminal emulator, because I don't want to throw out my knowledge of stacking WMs which don't have tabs (I don't know why not, BeOS and Haiku are stacking WMs with tabs), and learn a tiling WM with tabs.

It’s the Internet - if someone says “I use <X>”, then inevitably you’ll see a handful of passionate comments along the lines of “<X> is the worst technology created since the dawn of man, and <creator of X> really should admit failure and redo it from scratch to make ME, an Internet Commenter, happy”. I’ve learned to just tune them out and use my own judgement and preferences to decide if a tool is effective for me.

For anyone who is interested in fonts that are literally intended to be used with router bits, there is an old font format called SHX (not the GIS thing) for this. I had been looking for such a thing for some time, and then I stumbled upon this post: https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/shx-font-collection/25.... It's useful for CNC tasks where you really want to minimize the total path length of a given string.

This National Park typeface is kind of funny to me, because it originates from a similar practical constraint, but adapting it to the finite-width OTF format eliminates the practical aspect of it. Not that there's anything wrong with that; I realize it's still useful.
I agree with you. I think Peter Jackson is a poor director, and that those movies start mediocre and get markedly worse as they go. Jackson never passes up an opportunity to streeeetch a scene out with fake tension, or to mock one of his characters, or to bolt on some flashy but empty set piece.

Wow, time has not been kind to this paragraph. The redesign is still hated by a large portion of the userbase and the Reddit video player is infamously unreliable.

> In practice for the last 30+ years the default behaviour has been non-trapping. So much so that making it trapping would break vast amounts of software that depend on it, so you can't change the general case behaviour in C, C++, etc

You can change it in C and C++, since the current behaviour is undefined i.e. give control of your computer to hackers.

GCC and Clang should make -ftrapv the default. They won't, because whichever one does it first will then perform worse on benchmarks than the other, and that's the only thing the devs care about. But they should.
It's not really true, this was true 15 years ago when the smartest people worked at Google (whose goal is to get people to click on ads), but now a lot of very smart people found other business.

TLDR: pilots are produced in China and shipped by container ships. Since the beginning of the pandemic, pilot factories had to switch to mask and ICU machines, causing supply shortage.

That was worsened by container shortage and US ports backlog, so they couldn’t ship pilots and even when they could it would take forever to have them unloaded in congested ports.

I wonder -- "-fuse-ld" has some somewhat surprising behavior in how clang ends up discovering the linker. I think that even if clang has a sibling `lld` in the same distribution, "-fuse-ld=lld" will pick "ld.lld" from the $PATH if it's present in there before the directory where clang and lld are installed.

So maybe that "--ld-path" option helps resolve ambiguity by expecting an explicit path instead of a linker name.
