You are asking for a Soviet-style curriculum and we can learn from their experience. The lesson here is not quite clear-cut unfortunately. Making something mandatory for everyone at the same level doesn't make it feasible. The Soviets themselves were very clear about it and had an impressive system in place to look for what in America is called gifted children.

To begin with, can you actually employ all those future engineers and scientists? China can. America arguably not so much unless some major 30-year old trends are dramatically reversed. Are your engineers and scientists respected and well paid professionals? What are the projections for the next 30 years? Again, outside of CS probably so-so.

In any case, there can be only so many high-IQ jobs. And so many scientifically-minded children with high enough IQ. So a reasonable educational system would find them and promote to higher-quality schools for sure. At least in a world where your people want to be competitive with, say, the Chinese. But there are the other 80% of population and they won't be able to cope with a stringent STEM program. So they would need an alternative curriculum, probably similar to how they orient such people towards trade schools in Germany.

Math is universally useful both to grow your mental capabilities and professionally. Sciences are less so unless you are planning on an engineering career. And even then people who are into chemistry are frequently not the same who are into physics who are different from those interested in molecular biology. Which again breaks this nice uniform idea of mandatory STEM! for everyone!

Where I agree with you is that the less STEM there's in schools the more political indoctrination there will be instead disguised as "liberal arts and humanities". So forcing children to stretch their minds in math classes while they are young is the least damaging thing that can happen to you in school.
The fact that everyone violates the law in some form, and anyone with sufficient will and resources could ruin a life with legal proceedings is why we have the concept of standing in American law. It acts as a filter so that only someone with skin in the game can bring suit. It is one protection against abuse, and why laws like that give anyone standing Texas abortion ban and forthcoming California gun legislation are problematic.
> The "it" being that the issue wasn't that they - and the future potential partners - didn't have a day job.

Maybe not. However,

- If they haven't been able to identify what the real issue _is_, AND

- Avoiding dating people that don't have a day job limits (or completely prevents) dating people that do have the real issue, AND

- Avoiding said people doesn't limit the number of available people to date below a reasonable threshold, THEN

- Using "doesn't have a day job" as a filter seems to be a reasonable compromise for them.

Sure, it may prevent them from finding the "best" match, since there could be a person without a job that doesn't exhibit the real problem. But it's possible that removing that filter would cause so much wasted time (on dates with bad matches) that the odds of meeting a good match, nonetheless the best match, as significantly diminished (as is QoL).
>a [jumbled] mess of wires and logic gates that somehow works to do computation

You could create this situation explicitly using FPGAs.

>no concept of "abstraction", adherence to standards or even a logical, coherent design

There's no concept of abstraction, but there is remarkable consistency in the genetic code for all that. The fact that these tiny machines are understandable at all is remarkable. Our biosphere is effectively a single process with an uptime of ~4 billion years, including the ability to recover from meteor strikes that killed off 99% of species, multiple times (albeit with different species!)
1 repo per project/team. If you have more teams developing parts of a project, try to make them as independent as possible. Then each of those parts is effectively a separate project. This only applies if these parts are from separate, independent teams, otherwise monorepo.
That's impressive, congratulations!

> Probably better than the US, but given the taxes we pay, I’d expect something more. I’d rather pay half the taxes I pay now and spend 10K£ to give birth

UK tax burden is nowhere near double that of the US overall, so that's probably not a real choice.
The attractive types will also have it difficult. The matches will likely be attractive physically, but that hardly guarantees a true match. I know lots of attractive people that struggle to find a partner (and instead move from one one night stand to another). I think at some point it must get pretty depressing and toxic.
I think this is such an important point to differentiate. Yes, incumbent experts can be caught flat-footed when a new technology comes along that is essentially just much better at what they do. Best example in my mind is the iPhone, where essentially the big old-school cell phone execs totally poo-poo'ed Apple's ability to create a compelling cell phone in 2008: "A computer company doesn't know what they're doing."

But that is fundamentally different than pointing out real physical limitations of an idea, and the danger is you get exactly the OP response, "The old guard always dismisses you until you change the world!" yada yada. This is basically exactly what happened with Theranos - anyone in the actual field of microfluidics knew it was all bullshit.
we did, we mandate seatbelts in cars, stringent safety guidelines for cars, trans fats in food were banned, and such. The actors who would otherwise be irresponsible, car drivers, car manufacturers, food providers, and in this case, people who spread disease by not being vaxxed or masked, are coerced into acting responsibly by government.
I completely agree, if you're a straight woman (especially white), I'd def recommend staying in the united states.

My advice is specifically for men because thats my lived experience.
Curious what OP may have done "wrong", I read a bit of the Tinder TOS and found this juicy nugget:

> YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TINDER DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS OR OTHERWISE INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF ITS MEMBERS. TINDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OR COMPATIBILITY OF MEMBERS. TINDER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT – AND YOU AUTHORIZE TINDER TO CONDUCT – ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES) AT ANY TIME USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS OBTAINED BY IT OR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY, AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

1. You understand that Tinder does not perform background checks.

2. Everything you provide to Tinder and everything Tinder can find out about you may be used to perform a background check at Tinder's whim.

Classic.

But, my guess is that he was ruled to be "spamming" because he sent evidence of liking a (probably fake) user more than once in an attempt to test if the app was working.
I don't see where your law contradicts with what the article is saying. After Alibaba cloud researcher found the vulnerability, they first reported it to Apache foundation right away. Waited until the issue was resolved by Apache before disclosing it to the government and the wider developer community. So, Chinese government wants the information "within 2 days" before the issue is fixed.
I haven't tried it for more than one client to make sure and i think there are still some things untrusted clients can do, but basically my point is that the functionality for Xorg to treat clients differently is there. I do not think modifying the code to have each untrusted client in its own domain would be too complex if someone cared to look into it (as well as adding further restrictions if necessary) - the main issue here seems to be that nobody really cared much about changing Xorg towards doing that.

But there isn't really any core limitation of how X works that couldn't make it so that, e.g., some "privileged" applications (like the window manager) can decide what other less privileged clients can see and even create "domains" on the fly (as far as the applications are concerned it'd be like clients connecting/disconnecting from the server) for applications to see each other if needed. It could be possible if there were people interested in it (and interested enough to implement it, of course :-P).
I'm not too concerned with the red herring of whether enumerated powers improve the capacity of local school systems; the current system tends to work okay when we centralize things that perform well when centralized, like educational standards and often funding. Clearly, Madison would be open to the current policy approach, regardless whether we arrived to and improve from here through judicial review or through a do-nothing Congress/ratification process explicitly enumerating (which process has proven to be insufficient in governing the modern United States, hence the rise of the administrative state), because Madison was willing to support a revolution to ensure people had realistic, capable governance (which in his time meant throwing out the king, and in our time means reasonable bounds of the administrative state).

Now, would you please address the core question: can you help me understand what part of mathematics, science, language arts, music, or most other extracurriculars change across state lines?

Or perhaps the sister question: if they don't, and the only reason we don't approach it that way is artificial due to gaps in the governance structure, then I trust you would support correcting the governance structure or supporting the governance structure that allows it?
This comment is downvoted, but he raises a valid point aside from the scare quotes.

How exactly will it work?
Unfortunately there are scenarios where providing a documented reason or appeal is a vulnerability, illegal or both.

A too-clear disclosure gives bad actors information on how to circumvent controls around safety, abuse, and fraud.

If the reason an account is deleted includes some sort of KYC/Money Laundering issue, OFAC style sanction or child porn, then there can be legal obligation, with severe penalty, to both report and not tip off the user.
At what timescale?

How many more years of recurring "got randomly blocked from the App Store/Play Store/Facebook Ads/whatever other mission-critical service" posts on Hacker News do we need before the market corrects itself?
In retrospect, sure. But back at the time, every tech news outlet was proclaiming the death of the desktop, and that iPads were going to take over the world.

So Microsoft panicked. Windows RT is the end result.

Eventually iPad sales dwindled, it turns out that if you make a really durable product and sell it to everyone, you do end up saturating a market!

Phone screens also got a lot larger, negating some of the need for tablets.
You're not wrong to think about this but it's ultimately hard to know and would depend on a lot of details. What material exactly are you recycling, how is it collected, what machines does your municipality have, where does the electricity come from, etc. You'd have to spend a lot of time figuring this out and then reading up on the science. As someone who works in a related field I can tell you that even people who study this often aren't in agreement about the effects of recycling.

And more importantly: People tend to get lost in minute details when it comes to doing something against climate change. Get a fuel efficient vehicle for your next car, or better yet ride a bike. Get solar panels installed on your roof if that's an option. If you have a garden grow some vegetables. Depending on what you get they barely need much work except for watering.

Most of the fossil carbon that goes into the atmosphere because of you comes down to your electricity use, heating, transportation, food and other consumption. Try to cut down on that where sensible and possible, don't worry too much about yogurt cups. If you're serious about it stop buying them, go vegan. But if you do buy them it likely doesn't make much of a difference. You can assume your local government has looked into it and in most cases isn't going to do something totally stupid. What many don't know is a lot of the plastic can't get recycled anyway so even though they collect it as "recycling" it later gets sorted out and burned (or dumped on a landfill in less developed countries). So just throw it in there anyway if you're unsure, unless your local authorities tell you otherwise. Where I live there's a website with instructions on how to sort the trash.
Well yes, lawyers are humans, but that doesn't help us.

I mean because a company tends to explode from "smaller than $MARKET_SHARE" to "larger than $MARKET_SHARE" in a discontinuous fashion. So since a company can't really predict when it will happen, every company providing service would need to prep from the ground up to provide the described level of relatively non-automated high-touch support this proposal describes. It'd raise the cost to build a startup.

... not to imply it's a bad idea; there's no golden rule that says an ecosystem of millions of competing companies is always a superior alternative to a few well-regulated players. It's just important to note the hidden costs.
A democratically elected government.

Look, there is no such thing as a "natural market" that can keep the power of the actors in it in check. The internet was the closest thing to a perfect market that has ever existed and all it has produced is overpowered monopoly after overpowered monopoly.

If we want a free society, we don't get that by handing power over to the markets. We get that by building the most responsive democracy we can, and then using that to keep power (in all its forms, including business) in check.

So who decides which businesses are too powerful? People, elected and held accountable by citizenry at large.
And when someone teaches you a sequence of commands that are ~always run together, consider writing a script. Check the script into the repo. Now you have executable documentation.

(Obviously within reason: maybe `npm install && npm run start` doesn’t need to be in a script, but maybe two or three commands that print out some token which needs to be copied into the next steps would benefit).

Depending on the nature of the script, maybe even write a test. Now you have machine checked documentation.
Lots of comments going around that seem to be jokes to other people, apparently. Is it normal for people to expect physical education classes to literally just be various physical activities with grades handed out directly related to each student’s absolute performance in each activity? To me that sounds patently ridiculous.

Shadow banning is a legitimate tool when you assume that it is necessary for you to offer your services with the absolute lowest barrier to entry. There are plenty of other very reasonable approaches to prevent malicious actors from simply creating new accounts - the easiest of these is to attach a modest cost to account creation which is a solution that marketers absolutely loathe band thus has been casually discounted. However, it is an exceptionally good solution.

Do you think twitter would be dealing with 10 million twitter bots if they had a five dollar account creation fee? Do you think smurf accounts for harassment would be nearly as widespread if every ban cost the troll $5 of their real money?

Oh wow -- I knew Ross as one of my TAs during my undergraduate time at Berkeley. Regardless of the issues here, I recall him as a friendly and bright person.
Back in school I often used my native dialect of math all the time, the professor was racist though, probably a supporter of white supremacy or something, and required the standard dialect. It warms my heart the times have changed. Now I want to see more doctors who studied anti-racist ways in medical school because that's what's important for me when someone's performing an open heart surgery.
> ... or go subscription-only

I'm a long-time FT subscriber, who has grown increasingly unhappy with how the FT advertising team treats paying subscribers. So I'll just take this opportunity to advise anyone considering subscribing to the FT to reconsider.

The base FT digital subscription is something like $400pa. Certainly not cheap. It's mainly business news. Serious journalism, not USA Today or the Daily Mail.

Anyway, over the last 6 months, the FT's in-app advertising has got progressively more and more intrusive. It is now not unusual to find, for one short article, one ad per screen of text, up to 7 per article. Even worse, many of the ads are videos or animations. So you're trying to read the text of an article, when all around it videos are flashing and moving and trying to grab your attention. How are we meant to focus on their journalists' words? Plus the FT app engagement team is taking all kinds of actions that are actively hostile to readers, such as slowing down the scrolling as you hit an ad. The latest "improvement" is to make the "Comments" icon at the top of the article jump to an ad just above the comments, rather than the comments themselves.

In short, just because you're a subscriber, this doesn't mean the FT treats you with any kind of respect.

P.S. While I'm in "rant against the FT" mode, earlier this week, the FT app added the "helpful" feature of showing the length of each article: "3 minutes" etc, in the style of Medium blog posts. Except it isn't Medium, it's a daily newspaper with newspaper article-length stories, plus occasional long-form stories already subtitled "The Big Read". Cluttering up the limited UI with more useless features that noone needs, thoughtlessly copied from a completely different medium. Whichever product owner led that change, congratulations...
Not sure what you mean here. What would high "design coherence" on the scale of the entire industry look like?

I am sure things could be more optimal somehow, but the industry generally operates on a principle of interfaces - and it's true, the higher level you go (all the way up to the people using the technology) the messier it gets, but it certainly doesn't feel like an organism with no concept of "abstraction" as the parent describes.
when you say "simpler", do you mean something somewhat more conventional that is a multi-rotor/tilt-rotor design like the joby evtol?
The US dollar has fallen way more than 20% in value in the last year, if my grocery and petroleum expenditures are any indication.

Or is that why Bitcoin is "worth less", too?
Frankly I'm fed up with pi's: they're not reliable at all for 24/7 uses cases.

I have a PI 3 at work that needs frequent hard reboots because it fails to read the USB peripheral it's connected to.

I also have half dozen PI 4 connected to big screens, that randomly fail to show anything (black screen). They need several hard reboot to get back to work.

My boss wasn't convinced that it was the pis fault. To prove it, I just connected an old PC tower on one of the screen: this setup never caused any problem in months.
Cryptomator is a great tool for this.
> Those people need to be incapacitated from causing further harm to society until such time as they pose no such threat.

Who are "those people", though? There is a wildly disproportionate amount of attention focused on a very small sliver of theft.

Consider that amount of stolen wages by employers recovered dwarfs retail theft by a factor of 3 to 1 [1]. The total amount taken is likely significantly higher. Walgreens — the very company for which people cite store closures as a consequence of shoplifting — just paid out a $4.5m settlement for stealing from thousands of employees in California from 2000 to 2017 [2].

Consider that over the past 20 years, police have stolen $68 billion from people without due process [3]. Since 2014, they've stolen more money than burglars [4]. As a society, we've actually chosen to make this legal via civil asset forfeiture.

And yet no one is calling for crackdowns on employers who steal from their employees. No one is calling for police to be "incapacitated from causing further harm to society". Indeed, the goal of the activists pushing to recall Chesa Boudin want to give the police more power — even though they steal more than shoplifters!
