We should offer as many people as possible both mental and physical challenges. If one does to much mental work one burns out and lacks exercise. If one does to much physical labor one gets injuries and intellect declines. Doing the same work for years is boring and makes it harder to switch. You get stuck in a boring job.

It would also be eye opening for desk workers to do mindless physical grunt work. A few days of conveyor belt or hurling heavy objects could go a long way towards loving your desk job while also a welcome distraction from it.

Likewise, someone hurling heavy objects all week could do some basic data entry, man the phone line or do some other simple desk work. Get a basic feeling for the complexity of the organization.

It doesn't have to be more efficient immediately. In the long run more work will get done with less effort.

some natural disasters can render driving trickier than walking. extremely large snow storms, for instance. you can still walk a block, but you might be hard pressed to drive 5 miles.

(i don't have a bone in this particular cautiousness-fight; personally i'd just suggest folks producing DR plans cover the relevant natural disasters for the area they live in, while balancing management desires, and a realistic assessment of their own willingness to come to work to execute a DR plan during a natural disaster.)
You seem to be getting confused by Wikipedia’s treatment of lists of taxonomic categories, where it randomly excludes levels (particularly in sequences of clades) in the middle. If you read the actual description of taxonomic categories, or follow the chain, or use a source which doesn't randomly omit levels in lists, or consider why Dinosauria and one particular branch at every level below it is not marked extinct, you would see that you are wrong.
This is deeply disturbing news. It is already a problem that people get their Google accounts closed without any explanation from Google and with no response from Google when they try to contact them. A story about Elin Killie Martinsen, a Norwegian journalist and writer who lost access to her book manuscripts this way, was recently run in the national newspaper Aftenposten (https://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/i/8Qj1lG/uten-forklaring-b...). The article is in Norwegian but to summarize she got this answer from Google; "There appears to be malicious content in your Google Account. This is a serious violation of Google's policy and may be illegal" with a link to this page https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?p=disabled_... .

To the writer this was incomprehensible because she couldn't understand that any of her files could even be close to violating anything.

I am already seriously considering discontinuing my subscriptions of their storage services, and this post about restricting files doesn't give me comfort.

> Can you make your on prem infrastructure go down less than Amazon's?

Over the last two years, my track record has destroyed AWS. I've got a single Mac Mini with two VMs on it, plugged in to a UPS with enough power to keep it running for about three hours. It's never had a second of unplanned downtime.

About 15 years ago I got sick of maintaining my own stuff. I stopped building Linux desktops and bought an Apple laptop. I moved my email, calendars, contacts, chat, photos, etc, to Google. But lately I've swung 180 degrees and have been undoing all those decisions. It's not as much of a PITA as I remember. Maybe I'm better at it now? Or maybe it will become a PITA and I'll swing right back.

EDIT: I realize you're talking in a commercial sense and I'm talking about a homelab sense. Still, take my anecdote for what it's worth. :D
Why not both? I just got a Synology NAS and it makes cloud sync dead simple. Now the most important things are on my PC, mirrored on 2 drives in my NAS, and on AWS S3 (or any other cloud storage).

Interesting. Ok, so let's say the deception wasn't the problem, suppose for the moment. Would the study have been more palatable if the researchers had more properly vetted the email list to ensure, say, >95% or perhaps even 100% were corporations that did fall under the law?

Huh? Why should we care about the math skills of someone who only teaches English or French? Proficiency assessments should absolutely be subject-specific.
Math is not racist. Lowering standards is racist. This will affect the working poor the most, who can't afford private school for their kids. If there's a racial discrepancy between teachers how about you spend money to train the affected teachers, who generally have above average IQ and you know could learn the required skills.

The general decline and lowering of standards in this country is why immigration from Europe has basically stopped and people are actually moving back.
Hot take: the researcher did nothing wrong. Some random person could make the same legitimate requests. If you dislike what this person did then really you just dislike that portion of the law.

A story interesting because of what it reveals about the FDA and the medical bureaucracy. But there's also a small Silicon Valley-specific tie:

> Within a few weeks, Bosch and her colleagues had a test that would detect coronavirus in 15 minutes and produce a red line on a little chemical strip. The factory where they were planning to make tests for dengue fever could quickly retool to produce at least 100,000 COVID-19 tests per week, she said, priced at less than $10 apiece, or cheaper at a higher scale.

> Bosch’s prototype attracted a top Silicon Valley venture capital firm, which pitched in $2 million.

> “We are excited about what E25Bio is capable of shipping in a short amount of time: a test that is significantly cheaper, more affordable, and available at-home,” said firm founder Vinod Khosla. (Disclosure: Khosla’s daughter Anu Khosla is on ProPublica’s board.)

The pandemic playbook was designed to manage and mitigate “communication dilemmas”, not execute a strategic health response — which isn’t necessarily incompetent. It’s prescient enough to recognize that our greatest danger isn’t a virus but paralysis and inertia, a struggle to digest information and propaganda, an inability to understand or engage with one another, distrust and inefficacy crippling our institutions, waning authority of media and journalism, etc.

For anyone who hasn’t read through John Hopkins simulated SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028 it’s pretty interesting [0]. They discuss controversies concerning medical treatments, anti-vaxxers, and strategies to engage in propaganda wars on social media. Disclaimer: not wearing a tinfoil hat, no the report isn’t part of a conspiracy to railroad the population into vaccines, but it does reveal a certain ineptitude and bad faith.

Part of it was that the did no (or poor) screening. They got their list of target sites from a research list of the popular websites. I got a letter, and my little not-for-profit, not advertised, purely for fun website was around number 350,000 on that list. First, I sincerely doubt my site is even that popular. Second, if I got the mail, so did lots of people in a similar situation.

They weren’t spamming Fortune 500 companies. They were spamming a huge number of single-person sites that aren’t subject to the CCPA at all and who certainly don’t have legal departments to ask about it.
One big pain point is driver compatibility. Nvidia dropped 32-bit OpenGL, which is required for steam. CUDA packages in Ubuntu sometimes don’t pull in these dependencies, creating “dependency hell” for users.
At the time, this was universally reported by the media and accepted by the populace as an egregious abuse of the legal system. Jay Leno and the like minted non-stop jokes about it. Today, if you ask someone from that era about it, they have not seen the pictures and will ramble on about the need for tort reform.

Am so glad we have twitter and FB today to ground the populace in a more fashionable reality.
It's bizarre to me that anyone would respond to what would surmount to a legal request which was delivered via email.

Unless the gov has a supeona that was verifiably delivered to me physically, an email will be either totally ignored, or I'll respond telling them to go pound sand.
That said, standardized testing _would_ make sense if it determined where funding is allocated, i.e. lowest scoring areas get the most funding and the highest paid teachers.

My son is in grade 2 math is definitely taught. At this point he’s already doing pre-algebra using perimeters of polygons. I think they will start angles by the end of the year. I was in Ontario middles school about 20 years ago and even the easiest math course you could take in grade 8 involved basic trigonometry.
> My point is if your redundancy is better than AWS then why pay for them ? If it not they why invest in your own?

This is a really confusing question. Redundancy requires more than 1 option. It's not about it being better than AWS, it's that in order to have it you need something besides just AWS. AWS may provide redundant drives, but they don't provide a redundant AWS. AWS can protect against many things, but it cannot protect against AWS being unavailable.
It can't be void, but writing

public sealed class Unit {
private static Unit m_value = new Unit();

public static Unit Value => m_value;

public Unit() { }

public override string ToString() => "()";

public override bool Equals(object obj) => obj is Unit;

public override int GetHashCode(object obj) => 0;
}

and then using it ("return Unit.Value") in place of void is really not that big a problem.
It's not so much running away as much as it is wanting to create a better life for yourself and your family. There are many more options than the UK or the USA, Polish immigrants can be found all over Europe.
A nice pattern that will probably become common.

I assume the limitation on generic methods is just an implementation issue, the vtable for an interface has to have a known number of methods, and they can't insert specializations for each type on the fly into the vtable.
True with two independent servers at 90% each, that’s 0.1^2 = 1% chance both fail— so redundancy can add a lot of reliability.

When starting a teaching career you don't always get a full-time, one subject schedule; it's more like covering sick leaves or temp contracts depending on schools needs. Having this test is useful since the College certifies that its members , even if they are specialized in a given subject, can understand the basics of other high school subjects. Imagine how it would suck if you come across the "not my job, not my problem" when asking a school teacher for help.
Agreed. Which is why public education wasn't supposed to be enacted at the federal level. It is a state concern, or, more appropriately, a private one.

This is a test for teachers, not for their students. Are you suggesting that teachers who are worse at math should be paid more?
Why would you waste your best teachers on your worst students?
I agree, and find it odd that such a view is unpopular. STEM is as foundational in the modern world as language is. And, yes, especially for teachers.

I went to University at a time when everyone was required, regardless of major, to take language and science classes.
The post here on hacker news mentioned the down sides for one receiver. That person was stressed out thinking that they were about to be sued. They considered retaining council, which could have cost them a few thousand dollars, in order to get ahead of the threat. It didn’t come to that, so it’s a “what if”, but I could see myself trying to retain council too. Hopefully, a lawyer would have talked me down and advised me to wait it out. On the flip side, they may have offered to respond on my behalf (which would cost money).

I would not respond to such an email myself, ignoring it until I was able to defer to an attorney.

I publish a simple personal blog and I worry about the _worldwide_ legal implications of doing so. As one example, I have some old information about making model rocket fuel at home. At the time I had carefully reviewed U.S. law and knew how much I could legally make and have in my possession. Then I got questions from people in other countries and I got spooked. What if I break a law somewhere else?

Why should people study STEM specifically? Maths is generally useful in life so basic algebra, trig and such makes sense. But I've never really understood why science should be mandatory in schools, beyond teaching kids about how the scientific method works and thus imparting some pro-empricism philosophical ideas.

If I had to choose skills that kids were forced to learn, I'd prioritise those that would stand to benefit them the greatest - 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.

[edit] to clarify my point:

- A subset of STEM (maths primarily) is pragmatically useful to basically everybody and should have greater emphasis in education

- most of STEM is not pragmatically useful to most people

- these non-everyday-pragmatic fields should be taught, and belong within general education, but are not special in contrast to other school topics - because the criteria of "especially good" in a school context are those with actual practical use in the student's life.

What is the difference between 100,000 individuals emailing 3-5 websites on that list, with their real identities, asking for things to be deleted (such that all 350k are covered)? Where is the meaningful difference between this situation and the one here, ignoring the deception for a moment (unless that is the only issue)?

Could this be a moment of cultural learning for everyone? That's kind of how I am looking at it, frankly, but I am open to being wrong. That is, perhaps small entities will learn, in one or two instances, to just ignore this kind of thing?

My time frame is about since end 90s to now. I saw more failures in general in the olden days. I have quite a lot of rented servers at traditional hosters or Colo that have not been down outside kernel security updates for 10+ years. No hardware issues. I am now swapping them out for new servers which cost less for more, but hardware wise they have been pounder hard for 10 years without issues. All hotswap raid5 drives, so when broken, they or us just fixed it without downtime.

You are right that Synology (or an equivalent appliance) is often best. It's more complicated for geeks and data hoarders once we've been using a Synology for a while.

When people go down the Synology path they are often running apps and doing more than providing a big pool of storage. I'm finding that my needs have changed towards my NAS being only a pool of storage on my local network. It is there as the first tier of backups to speed up disaster recovery. I feel confident that I could move to a more DIY NAS solution because it would only be used for NAS storage.

It's not ideal, but an old desktop is now much better for my app needs, including Plex. Ideally, I'd have a single app box with the power consumption of 4-5 Raspberry Pi. I have only found a couple of ARM server solutions which are fairly old and ARM doesn't have standard sockets etc. because the focus seems to be on SoC instead of replicating what I'm used to with PCs and ATX mobos.
Well now I'd imagine you could use something like DXVK native.

A teacher should be able to understand the grade distribution on tests and throughout the year to identify if their assessments are too easy or too difficult, and if they may be racially biased. The argument that the tests unfairly bias certain groups is only known because the people administering the test understand math.
