So, after Google/YouTube have been aided in growth by the safe harbor clause, they now think that site owner responsibility is not such a bad thing after all?

Sounds more to me that they are pulling up the ladder to impede competitors.
By "native", I mean someone with a UK passport living in the UK at the cut-off date of Jan 2021. They are now unable to work in the EU without a work permit for a specific job.

In theory, a Pole who applied for and got "settled status" in the UK can move around to work just as they could before Brexit. I have no idea how well applying for this works though.
Robinhood opens up crypto gifting
The biggest rub on desktop GPUs on macOS is Nvidia insisting on full control of the drivers, which doesn’t jive with Apple’s attitude that GPU drivers should ship with the OS due to how deeply integrated they are with the kernel. AMD shares its driver source with Apple which works around this and allows RX 6000 series cards to work under macOS, but Nvidia would never consider doing something like that in a million years because too much of their business model revolves around total control.

It’s actually closely related to Nvidia long being a problem for Linux users, where open source drivers for Nvidia cards are permanently throttled to minimum performance levels thanks to Nvidia enforcing use of their proprietary drivers in its hardware. Incidentally AMD is also better behaved here — the FOSS AMD drivers have been quite decent for a long time now because a few years ago AMD got out of the way and started collaborating with the Linux community.
You can use measurements to make stupid decisions (haven't we all seen it at work), but that's not an argument against measuring. That's an argument against stupid decisions.

if you're talking about anti-vaxxers - that's not caused by lack of education. I don't know that much about viral transmission either, neither do you, or 99% or the people who are taking the vaccine, masking up and so on. The difference is primarily cultural - trusting versus not trusting the government & scientific advisors. All these anti-vaxx people haven't been failed by a lack of scientific education, they just don't trust the motives of the government - and that's not remedied by more alka seltzer volcanoes in school.

Ask HN: Idea about automated tool to audit Jira board
I was just wondering if any tools existed to do automated audits of jira boards? Often I see poorly executed projects not follow really good Jira hygiene. Features I'm thinking would be for

1. checking story points

2. checking if comments are in stories if they are blocked

3. Checking if acceptance criteria is written

Would there be a demand for this in the market?

True, they do have a "grip on people". I use gmail for my private email and I use Google Photos and Google disk for storage through a paid family account. I am considering a move to an European email and storage provider to avoid the almost moralistic TOS many US providers have to avoid liability issues, I just haven't decided which I should go for. It will come with a loss of convenience and that irritates me. The way Google have gotten me hooked to their walled garden.
There is discussion of this in the proposal: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/des...

I'd call it a fundamental semantics issue. That discussion is mostly framed in terms of the compile-time problems that arise, but that brief aside about the reflection package is deceptively short, because it means that the entire compile time set of problems is also lifted into runtime, where the problem is even worse. (To translate for someone who isn't a Go expert, the reflection package has enough power that it can dynamically instantiate new types that the compiler did not and can not even in principle have seen at compile time, which may then require new methods to be created. The current Go runtime has no run-time code creation capabilities. [1]) Without the reflection problem, it's annoying but at least solvable in principle, but I don't see any reasonable design (without a fundamental overhaul to specify a runtime-available compiler in the language spec itself, which is a huge step) that solves the reflection issue.

[1] Which personally I consider almost a feature. YMMV. Runtime compilation is very cool in a lot of ways but is a hell of a subsystem to try to secure, just by its very nature. There's a lot to be said for simply not having that capability unless it is integral to some particular program.

Ah, the Vinnie Boombatz treatment.
youre correct that it may not be enough time, but it gives them a foothold they can use later in life where the subjects might otherwise appear impregnable.

> Do we really want all our neighbors bikeshedding utility grid management

we already teach these subjects and i dont see this happening. I actually feel like bikeshedding would happen more if people only self educated on these topics, theyd have no baseline to compare to and anything they learned would "separate them from the pack" so to speak.

Your answer is "to deter to expert opinion" which already happens with our current system, except by not teaching it in schools we discourage people from learning it unless self taught. Which i think is a bad idea.
It's worth noting that none of the many authors of the various texts that now constitute the bible would have considered their texts 1. to be part of "the bible" at all (or, indeed, know that any such idea existed) or 2. to constitute "proof" of existence of any particular deity.

I mean, this is Idiocracy materializing. You can't have any kind of discussion if the other side doesn't get basic reasoning right. It's one thing to disagree about values but if we can't even use very basic reasonings it's completely hopeless.
Thanks for the link. I went through the 5 intro sample questions and clicked on all 45 questions in the next section. It looks like basic math grade-school curriculum such as fractions, percentages, arithmetic, etc.

I didn't see any high-school subjects like trigonometry, or algebra like completing the square to solve a quadratic equation, or adding matrices.

It's definitely not like the challenging college tests (SAT/GMAT/GRE).

The first 5 questions I saw were:

What is the value of
7.05+5+1.5+2.05+4.57.05+5+1.5+2.05+4.5 ?

What is
17.86÷0.19 ?

What is the sum of the following set of four numbers?
0.02, 0.6, 0.735, 0.00050.02, 0.6, 0.735, 0.0005

What number is represented by this expanded form?
(3×1000000)+(2×10000)+(7×1000)+(9×100)+(6×10)+(8×1)

What is

>Studying science teaches the ability to find facts and use evidence in decision making

>this helps people from becoming “suckers”

Science is a helpful baseline and should also be taught for other reasons (everyone should have a basic understanding of how the world works). But it doesn't necessarily develop critical thinking skills, which is the real missing element these days. Many people would do better to understand basic logic, induction, deduction, fallacies, etc.

And, a lot of people are emotionally manipulated into becoming "suckers", wherein their knowledge and even intelligence are short-circuited.

Not 100% sure what to do about that problem.
Ok. That wiki page cites this report from the UK on those stats (which seem to be derived from raw values in the tables maybe?) [0].

The thing is, it’s not straightforward to answer the question “was delta more severe/virulent than alpha or wild type” from directly comparing these raw statistics. The Delta wave in the UK (and US) was post vaccine rollout, so you can’t say from the raw numbers whether it’s the virus that changed, the demographics of people with infections, or vaccine rollout.

Analyses considering these confounding factors point to delta being more virulent, and towards the (thankfully!) lower fatality rate being mediated by vaccine efficacy and demographics.

This is the same situation we seem to possibly be in with omicron, but we still lack good data on how hard it hits the immunologically naive relative to previous variants

Of course, being Canada, it couldn't have passed the opportunity to mention "race".

But seriously speaking, it's a good decision for the wrong reasons.I personally would LIKE to see logic[as a precursor to anything, because even math is based on it ultimately] being taught and picked up everywhere, but that's not the case and will never be the case.People don't like being forced/told what to do, that's why ironically we need artists and people who know how to make things interesting for kids,adults,etc.This is not even going into the cultural and societal problems some countries have who banked on "training smart people" yet nobody is there to maintain basic utilities.You cannot and generally it's not a good idea to rely on foreign workforce, for a number of obvious reasons.

A teacher's performance should be analyzed mainly by the results.
The only thing that makes sense about lowering standards rather than increasing efforts to help people meet those standards is this is a consequence of increasing labor prices, and an attempt to keep expenses lower by not having to compete for well qualified teaching candidates.

End result will be further stratification of society via price segmentation where well resourced members of society can afford to purchase better quality education. This already happens, but these measures will help it become even more stratified across more of the population.
I’m not an expert on the subject and wonder why a condition of 50% upfront and 50% after everything transferred wouldn’t be appropriate?
> Go type system is not a traditional type system and it was not possible just to bring an existing generics implementation from other language and be done.

I claim that there are no original ideas in Go's type system and in the way that Go does generics, and the reason it took so long was because it came out of an environment with actors (including a part of the community) pushing against the feature.

You might disagree, I'm curious what original features of Go you will point out to me.
Welders/fabricators and machinists use trig to set up accurate angles. In general, if one has never seen something from middle/high school math used, one isn't looking very hard.

It is a real question and not a factor for the government’s involvement.

Yes, the parallel private system will attract the people that can access it. If that is money based then the private system can attract better teaching talent and screen them however they want.

Not sure what answer you wanted to read. Its not a factor for the state.
That may be true when it comes to product design (though I doubt it).

Math is math. A car is a car... there's nothing racial or sexist about a car, unless it fails to come with an adjustable seat.
You shouldn't be downvoted. Ontario teacher unions are much more powerful than the US equivalents. Even their pension plan is powerful.
Here in Ontario we have a standardized achievement test called EQAO which is quite controversial and it has the exact problems you describe.

As we should know as engineers, averages are a pretty garbage measure if that's all you have.

A couple English-As-Second-Language learners in the class, or a class with some learning challenged kids in it, and the average is thrown off. Is the teacher bad? Is the school bad? You won't know without a much closer look than a simple test can give you.

My daughter was in French Immersion and all the curriculum taught in French, but EQAO was done in English. Vocabulary for math is different. An adult can translate fairly easily... but a kid in grade 3?

The test is used by various actors (including the right wing Fraser Institute) to "rate" schools on "quality", which is a dubious practice given aforementioned issues of statistical variance. Parents have been been known to pick neighbourhoods (to move to) based on these scores, which only hurts the school and neighbourhood.

The test is also optional, though most parents don't seem to realize this. We've come around to telling our kids that if they don't want to take it, don't and we don't care about their scores.
There is unfortunately no substance to reply to. That's what I point out, so maybe you could clarify your argument without hyperbole and by contrasting it to the pandemic playbook?
From the practice test, some are weird Qs in english, let alone french.

> What is 19 thousands + 7 tens?

Idk French, but I wonder if white teachers are likely to be more familiar with english-to-french translation oddities. An immigrant might be baffled by what a Quebecois is simply annoyed by.
Why are parser combinators not given any attention in traditional academic treatments of parsing? Is there some drawback compared to other popular methods? (And why are they relatively more popular on HN and in functional programming communities?)

For instance, in the book of Grune and Jacobs on parsing techniques, they are presented as essentially a curiosity (with 2.5 pages of description in a 600+ page book).
Can you help me understand what part of mathematics, science, language arts, music, or most other extracurriculars change across state lines? I don't understand the argument that States vs. Federal, and we know that private education doesn't help but does exacerbate gaps in opportunity (which, as a minarchist libertarian, I oppose privatization of education due to equity/Rawlsian veil concerns). For this particular argument, I fail to see why non-standardized curriculum is better.

History as a subject I can understand localized curriculum.

Or are you arguing that funding can't be moved through central vehicles? Is this because if an area is better off (NY, CA, WA, IL) in their funding shouldn't help to fund ensure states worse off (MS, TX, OK, etc.)? I mean, I get the "F-u-i-got-mine" crowd but certainly there are national security/defense reasons to ensure a base level of education, such as science and finance, if only to ensure people aren't gullible to populism or, if financially irresponsible, open to manipulation by foreign states.
It's not a lot of complexity.

Yes, your S3 costs will double, but usually they're peanuts compared to all the other costs, anyway.

Debating it takes longer than configuring it.
Interesting. The closest we have to that is largest hardware store around here will allow you to rent a truck for $20 for an hour with a $150 deposit. There's no trailer option.

There are a couple companies here that rent trucks/trailers and focus their marketing towards people that are moving. Their base rates for the trucks and trailers are the same and start in the same $20 ballpark. The trucks are a little more expensive for long moves as they have a per-mile surcharge if you exceed a certain distance with them. Most people still opt for the trucks over the trailers with the rarity of cars with tow hitches installed.
Understanding stats and geometry is necessary to understand basic concepts about history and system design across many disparate fields of human activity. For example, in computer security, we talk about "reducing the area of the attack surface". There's no surface nor area, but the conceptual analogy remains useful. When you determine the appropriate staffing level for a customer service line where people call in for help, you use a statistical model that leads to the Erlang equation. The work to be done may not involve math at all, but in order for the employees to understand how their company is run, math is essential. When you build a house, you need to do various calculations to come up with an estimate; we do not think of construction as technical work, but if you need X concrete blocks and you can fit C blocks on each of N trucks that take a time T to move between supply and site, you end up with a mathematical model that leads to your final cost estimate.

Denying students educational support in understanding the flexible and general frameworks of mathematics that lead to the organization of human activity sharpens the division of labor and diminishes the possibilities for democratic engagement in the society's mode of production. The anti-math argument therefore appears to support a hierarchical Brave New World social structure because it advocates that we raise children to become functional assets rather than full participants in the economy.
This seems like the time to do it. Half the people at the company I work for have tested positive in the last few days.

that's not true at all. Case in point: engineers are over-represented in extremist groups and beliefs.

I don't think that studying science leads to increased critical thinking until the point where you're having to actually discover things for yourself - because before that point you're just re-learning what other people are telling you is true.

This is exactly the point of the ruling. If education and good jobs are distributed based on class, then rich people can ensure that their kids get them. A meritocracy is risky to the people at the top (like the judges on the Divisional Court) because they could lose their slot to smart poor people. Of course they will say they are doing it to help poor and disadvantaged people to give themselves moral cover.
Asserting your rights (which you even say is "a little aggressive, but OK") as per specific regulation is far from being a legal threat where I live. That's just asserting your rights. A legal threat would be far worse.

so probably some form of home economics, sales & negotiating, psychology, and such. As far as universally useful skills go, most of STEM is near the bottom of the list

Depending on what level of education you're talking about, I had most, if not all these classes as requirements, plus a science requirement. There was plenty of time left over for other classes, too. I get that different places have different curricula (and that they change over time), so I can't be sure, but what you're asking for might be in place already.

Earlier levels of education, I think, give students a better idea of what they want to study in university (or not). Getting a little taste of math and physics (among chemistry and biology) in high school really informed me what I'm good at & what I'm interested. It was a major factor in my decision about what I wanted to study later on.
Re: point number 1 - market forces can't fix lack of DRM support in a browser made completely from scratch. Even Spotify, and sometimes news sites ask to enable EME now (which I refuse out of principle).
