We're not spending $15K on every student. That's just the total spend divided by the number of students. In reality, we're spending substantially less than that on most students and substantially more than that on a small number of students with exceptional needs.

> since the 1960s

Right. The 60s.

The 60s are ALWAYS used as the reference point in these conversations. Every. Single. Time.

The ESEA, a cornerstone of the War on Poverty, was passed in 1965. Most other federal/state mandates that brought nearly everyone into the public education fold were passed after 1960. What it meant to educate the populace changed dramatically between 1960 and 1980. Huge swathes of people previously excluded were brought into the fold. Of course costs went up -- those people were excluded precisely because they're not the low-hanging cheap-to-educate fruit.

> fewer than 50% of employees were actually teachers.

Teachers are not the only class of employees who spend most/all of their time in direct contact with students. See above.

I'm not interested in the percent of employees who are teachers. I'm interested in the percent of employees who are not either in direct contact with students or providing essential services (janitorial, transportation, food services, etc.)

Is there any empirical evidence for educational outcomes dropping? The ultra-religious types would be homeschooling with or without the financial incentives to send children to private schools.
They keep it around, but I've noticed recently I just randomly get opted back into the new design. When I go to settings to opt back out, it shows that I'm already opted out. Then I just click it, which going by the button state would opt me in, but it opts me back out again. It's weird, and it seems clear that they're just auto opting me in on the back end and hoping I'll just deal with it, which I can't because the new design is impossible to navigate.
Gehlen was FHO, not SS. His postwar organization employed SS members, but that's something different. To say it was an "SS Division" is just nuts.

There's no information that I'm aware of that connects de Mohrenschildt to Gehlen, and the article you linked to doesn't provide any either.

After reading through the draft I think I don't understand the argument about user privacy.

Does QNAME minimization try to prevent the scenario where a malicious party has setup a DNS tracker that responds with the same A/AAAA entries for a specific subdomain in the sense that e.g. "session-id.actualserver.company.tld" results in the same entries as "actualserver.company.tld"?

How would a client detect this before actually resolving it? I mean, if TTL is 0, no client will cache the results and therefore the minimization aspects are kind of irrelevant because the client has to resolve all over again, right?

I think I am having questions about the logical conditions "when" a client tries to resolve "_" before resolving the actual domain, which I am assuming is what the draft proposed...because to me this scenario would have the requirement that the very same party also has ownership of the HTML/actual links in the code, so I don't understand what it's trying to prevent because the same party could just read their apache logs to gain better datasets.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

IMHO most people fantasize about robots solving general use problems, as in the case of a humanoid, but in reality they will probably be ridiculously impractical compared to human labor. The problem is much like automation vs a manual process.

Yes we can certainly automate this or that workflow just give us the specification of what to do, oh did you remember every quirk and nuance. Now to make this work without constant human interaction we actually need to know a lot about the problem, the problem space, the specific requirements of each task because the automation process does not have anything close to common sense reasoning capability. Without that every possible nuance must be explicitly detailed and our brains are not good at that. This is what much of software development is, even when given detailed specs, you find out that there are plenty of requirements yet to be discovered.

This is a huge problem in AI. It's a complete non-starter of a design problem when making a robot. You really need to know what the hell the thing is going to be used for before you draw 1 line in the cad program. The fantasy of the humanoid model is to say look, humans can do a lot there's your design specs go make something that can do that. Good luck, first of all how much energy can you pack in a humanoid robot after affording for actuators and the support structures? How long will the thing last on a single charge? How much and what kind of work can it really do? How do you tell it to do some task? What can it really accomplish? Ok now look at the cost of an employee for one of the mundane jobs, their capabilities are greater, they have true intelligence so you don't need to specify arcane level of detail for requirements because they have common sense.

Lets not even limit ourselves to humans, any general purpose robot will never be able to compete with a task specific robot and when you think about it, the mundane use cases are often the kind where you do the same thing over and over, aka a limited set of specialized tasks. Well design a robot to do just that and it will be cheaper and more effective than a humanoid robot. Carpet cleaning is one example, a roomba works just fine, no need for a cybernetic humanoid to accomplish that mundane task and the cost differential is huge.
I actually don't know what "market predictability" means. Like, the market is never predictable, right? That's why most money managers don't consistently make big profits. Is this a notion that can be quantified? Can you cite some evidence for what you've said?

Scary headline, but means absolutely nothing: “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (EUA labeled product) is currently being shipped; however, please be advised that the COMIRNATY and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine have the same formulation and can be used interchangeably. They are made using the same processes, and there are no differences between them in safety or effectiveness.”

tl;dr - it's just the non-branded Pfizer vaccine.

One of the most important lessons about mass-use computer tools is that overwhelmingly people use defaults.

I first realised this back in the 1990s when shitty default monitor resolution and refresh rate would literally inflict pain (headaches and eyestrain).

MS Windows 95 / 98 shipped with a default of 800x600@60Hz. This was on CRTs, many viewed under office flourescent lighting, which gave rise to a bloody awful flicker that people mistakenly attemtped to correct with "glare screens" and other useless crud.

The solution was simply to crank up refresh rate slightly. Bumping up resolution also gave more useful area and clearer, easier-to-read fonts. (This was also before Cleartype / sub-pixel rendering.)

And yet something like 90-95% of systems monitored ... somehow (possibly an early Web tool) revealed 800x600, and I believe 60 Hz refresh. This on systems which could easily be bumped to 1024x768 or better.

And this was literally a click away off the desktop.

Lesson Younger Me learned: users won't change any default.

So:

- Pick really good defaults. Autoconfigure for best experience if possible.

- If you want to cram things down users' throats, you can just change the default experience, especially on a SAAS app.

Vouchers don't improve student achievement (Stanford, 2017)
https://news.stanford.edu/2017/02/28/vouchers-not-improve-st...

Students in Louisiana's voucher program showed a decline in scores, especially math:
https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/education/artic...

Not every hard-right ultra-religious parent has the means to homeschool their kid or to enroll them in private school. Vouchers really help lower that barrier.
Sure, but if you are a private school charging $20k a year now, why wouldn't you charge $25k when every potential student gets a $5k voucher? Then we need to increase the size of the voucher to meet the original goals of the program. Rinse. Repeat.
Projects go in a shallow hierarchy, one folder per project. Most downloaded files go in one place. I just try to name things sensibly so I can find them later by searching. Filesystems used to slow down quite a bit with lots of files, so I moved the downloads into subdirectories by year. Haven't had this trouble in the last few years though so I've skipped it.

I seems like you think we had a regulatory compliance obligation to be in the App store -- we did not; and do not. I only got into this thread because dealing with Apple sucks -- and sucked for us especially hard.

>She cares for the students. They are all very underprivileged. The school system is driving her out.

I've heard this from close friends and family who taught. All were teachers, all loved teaching, all taught underprivileged kids at challenging schools, and all of them quit teaching before turning 30. Each quit due to the lack of support they receieved from uncaring, petty, and inept school administrations. Teachers can't teach when they don't feel physically safe, or are abruptly reassigned to different classes mid-year, or know their performance evaluations will be sabotaged by jealous senior teachers or administrators who are poor performers themselves yet impossible to fire. These experiences took place in the US, both in large costal and small Midwestern urban school districts.
Nice point. Pretty sure GP's observation, while correct, is wrong-headed, and something akin to saying, "Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford and even Tesla... every single non-trivial transportation vehicle in existence is not composed out of garage tools."

Depends where you live. My public school education was amazing and I had better instructors than I did at both my name brand undergrad and highly regarded grad schools.

But I grew up in a place most of those on this site would not want to live (including me, though I appreciate growing up there) and as such the teachers were paid enough to buy modest homes on their own salaries without a spouse/roommate.
> relied heavily on macros

There is one macro defined in that library. It looks like it uses Garden’s “defstyles” macro as a key component as well.

I don’t intend to contradict what you wrote by pointing this out; it was just funny to read “relied heavily on macros” only to find exactly one “defmacro” in the codebase! This further illustrates your point: macros are a great tool to have in your toolbox, and when it’s worth writing one, it can be VERY much worth writing one.

In terms of education spending, the US spends more than ever other OECD country other than Luxembourg.

"recently"? They were doing it for years.
That’s because there was an FOMC meeting today, it’s always more volatile before one. The market was told that what it expected would happen is going to happen, and it was pleased. It expected more bond purchase tapering and 3 rate hikes (75 bps total) next year.

VIX is back under 20, volatility is settling down.

Some unprofitable growth stocks have been sold off lately, but the rest of the market is chugging along just fine, at least until rates start to go up.

I use Reddit daily, and for the last ~week their UI has added multiple things to click and be taken to my 'Reddit recap', which I think is supposed to be like Spotify's 'your year in review' feature.

Reddit's product managers very much want me to check out my 'Reddit Recap'.

Well I've navigated to my recap about 30 times now in the last week, from multiple links, in app and desktop, and it's still totally broken.

On desktop now, it doesn't show anything except a "retry" button which is incorrectly stuck to the left side of my screen (CSS fail).

I can understand things being broken, but its really bad form to funnel a user to a prominent feature, have that feature be broken, and then have a broken and terrible error state.

I do wonder what kind of engineering team bungles a big feature release like this.
It increasingly appears that half the "security bugs" wouldn't even arise if we'd stuck to modern languages like Lisp in the 90s.

Heh, I think I did a poor job of expressing myself. You're absolutely right that an intermittent/erratic trim operation is a failure, and potentially a serious one. I'm thankful that you, as a flight control engineer, are as concerned about it as you are (for hopefully obvious reasons). Out of curiosity, how probabilistic is your failure mode analysis? I'm wondering what the relative likelihood of an intermittent uncommanded actuation compared to the neutral-to-extreme runaway failure that most pilots expect. I've never been in a sim where the operator console had trim failure options other than "stuck at current position" or "runaway to extreme limits," but I wouldn't be surprised if they should've included other failure modes.

Yeah, that seems like an eminently reasonable way to design a trim system. I don't think the MCAS concept is fundamentally unsound, but it blows my mind that they didn't design it with that kind of mindset.

Oh man, I wish more software was built to the standards of aerospace control system best practices...

This depends on the school and town.

I went to a northern suburban public middle school and it basically felt like college. We were encouraged to explore our interests and there were classes catering to basically everything—loads of foreign languages, 3D art, wood shop (in 7th grade, not even high school), cooking, and so on. Few students acted out.

Then I moved to the south for high school. Want to continue learning the foreign language you’ve studied since 6th grade? Nope. We only offer that for upperclassmen because young students don’t have the mental maturity for language learning(what?). Want to explore art? Nope. You’re painting by numbers. Fights everyday. Straight up gangs and kids selling drugs when the teacher is looking away. Teachers chatting on the phone with friends all class everyday and just playing random movies unrelated to the subject.

My public education in middle school was far beyond what I got in high school. I’d dare say I regressed since I was doing less advanced subjects in high school. But my point is—great public schools exist. It’s all in where you live.
Opinions on this vary wildly, but you can be very productive with any of them. Pick what makes the most sense to you and get to it!
As a CTO myself, I can commiserate. I'm still a decent developer but I'm also a decent project manager, systems architect, software architect, tester, business analyst, software engineer and sysadmin, not only because I have my hands in all of these roles now but also because I've done these roles in my career. I'm also a decent salesman, service delivery manager, business strategist, etc.

Unfortunately, when you step into a CTO role, skills-wise, you have to become a generalist to do your job better.

If you're losing faith in yourself because you feel your technical capabilities is diminishing and so is your perceived value to the organization, I fully understand. You need to reevaluate what your value in your role. Is it important that you're the best developer? To me, no. As others have pointed out, your job is to make the better decision in a sea of decisions; I say better and not best because sometimes the best decision is not the right decision for the business.

Nah, HN is reasonably healthy as far as I can tell.

Sometimes things get flagged incorrectly, but usually within a few days issues get fixed. Sometimes you see a flurry of unneeded downvotes.. but scores don't matter much and things get worked out.

My sarcastic comments generally score poorly, my helpful ones do well - which is about the desired outcome.

The goal is not to prevent inflammatory takes or have scores reflect some ideal of values, just to keep the signal above the noise threshold.

I still get odd emails from other HNers and still have interesting conversations.
