In the US, for the young, it may mean that you went to college. You have the equivalent of a mortgage with no house.

And this is new: in many cases someone from their parents' generation who got the same degree and the same job would be debt free, because college used to be much, much less expensive (even after accounting for inflation) than it is now.

Example: University of California (Berkeley or UCLA, etc). Currently about $12k a year tuition. 35-40 years ago is was zero, with a couple of hundred dollars in fees.
There's a large number of things in any decently complicated system that a "style guide" can't cover and that there are dozens of potential ways to solve.
I agree that got out of hand, sorry.
Funny running into you here! I'm the 'maintainer' of the Firefox version (it doesn't take much work.) I just got a request to do imperial to metric conversion, which I had to politely decline based on the idea of looking up the density of every ingredient involved; not to mention writing an actual parser for recipies proved to be quite a challenge given the wide diversity of how the recipes are layed out.
I don't think people have put enough stock in the possibility that the Antikythera device was primarily used for astrology. This would likely have been the primary reason an ancient person would want to know the positions of the stars and planets on a specific date and time.
I think I must have missed the point at which classrooms took on a responsibility for parental productivity?

Because child care has long been part of the value proposition of public schools. It's amusing how "you shouldn't have had kids if one parent wasn't willing to stay at home full time" is now something that the far left and far right agree on.
> The last thing you want is to be sleeping in your stuck vehicle when a jack-knifed semi takes the roof off.

That’s relevant to a car breaking down, but not so much in the middle of a long line of stuck traffic. The cars behind you are going to prevent anything from hitting your car at high speeds. Meanwhile getting out early can be quite dangerous.
I lost my mind for about 300ms trying to figure out how fast 1Tpbs was.
"Constructing a new capital in the middle of nowhere"

What? You mean the middle of nowhere like some sparsely-populated riverbanks near the border between two states that happens to be near the geographic center of the nation at the time it's built, but hours away from the nearest metropolitan areas? Yeah that's a crazy idea - the United States would never do that.
I hated carrots growing up. I definitely would not describe them as "sweet": they taste dry and sour, take a long time to chew, and the juice makes my throat hurt.

Maybe my family just bought bad carrots, but they all seemed to like them. I don't know.

One article stated that before Theranos, Holmes' idea for a business was selling C++ compilers in China. She admittedly knew little about biology.

A Surprising Link Between Narcissism and Belief in Astrology
Wow. I am now confident that SMART TV manufacturers simply want to make our TVs as easy to use as our children. Who can blame them for that? It preps potential future end-user/parents like myself for the advanced UI that is a small child.
I think Gnome apps in Gnome are actually pretty alright.

Next up, we'll be getting an ENQUIRE method.

Then we'll be ready for INQUIRE too. Which is similar but involves more formalised header definitions.

Following this. We'll get an RFC for OBTAIN, which will be similar to GET but will formally renounce the use of a payload.
I sympathize with the author but I find many of these arguments lack a middle ground for trade offs that ultimately neglect the fact that the situation today is vastly different from the situation in march 2020. We have pharmaceutical interventions and know how to treat and prevent COVID. There’s no excuse for 99.9% of schools to go to near normal or at minimum be in person.

“Don’t do X” for young versions have to process the “X” part before the “don’t”, and processing includes going thru that motion - then getting to “don’t”, realizing the mistake, laughing about it, and then attempting to process the phrase again with the same result.

> do code reviews in order to make sure everyone understands the code.

I like a hybrid "the person who wrote it can't deploy it" model. You get an informal code review and two sets of eyes/brains to the extent that the deploying engineer feels like they understand it enough to shepherd it into prod weighted against how important the component and the scope of the change is.

It self scales from "copy change on the website yolo" to "this involves two new racks of servers and a database migration, I'm going to need to spend a week understanding it to the point I can make a plan."
Nice, have you found a way to suppress the "sass" function? Is there a patch or something?

Glad to see that. Appears to be just for children, do you know of similar studies on adults?
Reducing it should also be forbidden in my opinion.

We should not be entitled to steal the effort of others. Every person can do what they deem right with their things.

It is not a matter of how much. By that reasoning I could make legal hitting people, even if it is bad, as long as I do not kill anyone. Would that make hitting people better? I do not think so. The action is still hitting.

The same way, the action is still stealing wealth for whatever reasons. Not a right choice.
Have you actually used a OIDC website? Once you have your account setup it's the most seamless login experience I've ever had.

Sorry, there are plenty of standard ways to make logins seamless without a Blockchain.
> GET is allowed to have side effects, just not beyond the first invocation of a given request.

GET can have side effects, and has no difference first and subsequent invocations (because it is safe as well as idempotent). Were it idempotent but not safe, it could have side effects that the client was accountable for the first request, but no different ones of that kind for subsequent uses.
So don't bother trying?!

Nope. That just means it's a moonshot. Besides I don't agree with current education approaches, so why pedestal one over the other.

Also, there ARE metrics of subjective wellbeing and we can use them. There's a culture of denial and aversion to real challenges that leads to people to escape it through numbers and dollars. What you're saying sounds like what that culture says.
“If this pandemic has proven anything, it’s how essential those working in the food industry are.”

Really, I think it’s shown exactly the opposite of that, dramatically. Most people were very willing to forgo eating out when health was on the line.

Nevertheless, I do enjoy eating out, and I was glad when that started to become a good option again.
I believe with some electrode materials it is possible to make chlorine gas, I'm not sure if steel and iron are some of them.

But either way, as I understand if, you do it slowly you're _mainly_ going to make bleach instead, with small amounts of chlorine gas.

Probably not the best idea to breathe it anyway, but shouldn't take much ventilation to make it perfectly safe.
>Yup, at which point it is no longer the manufacturer's problem other than reputationally

I think typically lease returns are sold as [brand] certified used, at least they used to be.

Even if they weren't, you really don't think used car values affect new car prices or lease terms?

BMW seems to do all right despite absurd depreciation and maintenance/repair costs on their used cars, but I think surely there is an extra cost to building cars that are appealing enough to convince customers to be irrational.
Why even bother with the mp4? For audio sync, or just to use <video> tags?

On the web i was latency down by just sending nalus, and decoding the h264 with a wasm build of broadway, but now with webcodecs (despite some quirks), thats even simpler (and possibly faster too, but depends on encoding with b-frames etc)
Of course trying to get lowest latency video, I'm not paying attention to sound atm :)

Pre-agricultural tribes could have had forms of wealth — an ornate spear or knife, a prized shawl, a special ceremonial bowl, etc — that they passed down.

It seems quite likely to me that as soon as we started crafting and carrying things around, we developed complex behaviors around who gets which things.
I haven't used a Web3 site. How is it more seamless than Webauthn's "go to the site and have it verify my identity without me doing anything (using my plugged-in Yubikey plus the browser-stored user credentials)"?

Persona failed for various reasons. Big companies didn't want to offer Persona logins because they wanted to control the user relationship, especially the barrier to getting an account, and were unwilling to delegate that to arbitrary third parties. There was also a chicken-and-egg problem: not many sites accepted Persona logins, so not many people bothered to sign up to Persona, so not many sites bothered to accept Persona logins. This latter problem could have perhaps been solved if Mozilla had worked harder to integrate Persona into Firefox, but mistakes were made.

For Webauthn, AFAIK it's mainly an implementation issue on the server side. Maybe not enough people have the required secure tokens, on some platforms.

Obviously, blockchains and smart contracts don't help with any of the above issues.
I disagree. We need to stop the nonsense disconnected from reality and nature society of bullshit now, not later. That includes bullshit child care and education and jobs.

Essentialism is what's needed here.
I am asking specifically about the teaching parts. A parent doesn't need to be intimately familiar with the curriculum just to manage behavior, which of course is an obvious thing a parent would have to do if the kid is home.

In the comment I replied to, it sounded like teachers are basically just giving kids agendas for the day. I know it's a tough life right now and that remote anything with kids is orders of magnitude harder than with adults, but that doesn't sound good.
AMD beats Intel with first CPUs that have Xbox-like security for Windows
I'm only 40, but for my entire life school systems have been told that their number 1 job is education. Every time they're given performance metrics to hit, they're in regards to education. We as a society are telling our school system that they're an educational institution, not a child care one, and if the school system started to behave like a child care institution, we'd collectively be pissed off at them.

Sorry, but you're dead wrong. It is a larger society problem, not the school system being poorly run. They're being run with the goals that we give them in mind.
TIL, makes sense. Didn’t think of it as “combusts inside the engine” versus “combusts next to the engine”.
I mean, to me it’s more intelligent to consider we have no idea what’s going to happen after we’re dead and think about possibilities to prepare ourselves just in case our consciousness does end up in some afterlife. I have strong suspicions we’re just dead and nothing happens, but I can’t be certain of that. Reading books and thinking about different afterlives might help if you end up in one. We don’t even barely understand our own universe, which we live in, so who knows what’s possible here?
Do you feel that depression is a problem outside of this? Maybe you should talk to someone about the depression.

Personally, I value my man-cave and my free time. I view "things" and a big house as more shit I have to deal with in my life. Every item I own weighs on me. I don't want any more space than I actively use because that's just more space I have to maintain. Anymore more than the minimum just adds to the weight of the rock I have to push up the hill.

I'm jealous of people who can maintain that stuff. I'm jealous of people who seem to have no problem with household chores, if they have the money for a big house but not enough to hire someone to help them.

Peer review is a waste of time, it becomes gatekeepers. Even Einstein got in a huge argument with a journal that went over his head because of this kind of gatekeeping. The best ideas can't be bought with money or PhDs. Bitcoin itself is a great example of this. But so is: geocentricism, relativity, quantum multiverse, etc etc.

You're correct that Archimedes presaged core concepts of calculus: in his work building upon the method of exhaustion, quadrature for certain conic sections and tangent of a spiral. It's nonetheless quite a ways up the tech-tree from calculus. Important developments were also contributed by al-Tūsī in the 12th century and Kerala school mathematicians (Indian, prominently around 14th century, though their broader influence is uncertain).

As advanced as Ancient Greek mathematics was, its heavy emphasis on geometric formulations made many developments more difficult. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system, algebra, invention of a zero number concept (Cardan's proof of the cubic and quartic would have gone significantly easier if he had utilized zero as a number) and Descartes's Analytic geometry were important developments on the way to calculus. By the time of Barrow's and Fermat's contributions, nearly all essential components of calculus existed, just requiring some genius to grab, synthesize and streamline them.

Also note that COVID has killed more people than combat deaths in all U.S. wars combined. U.S. COVID death toll is now 826K, combat death toll for major U.S. wars is a total of 666K: 291K for WW2, 214K for the Civil War, 53K for WW1, 47K for Vietnam, 33K for Korea, and then numbers start getting negligible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualt...

It's also passed the death toll in the U.S. from the Spanish Flu pandemic, which killed about 675K (although this was out of a smaller total population).

It doesn't take a very large death toll to have a major impact on American society.

I would never imagine the Smithsonian would do a click-bait like this.
I think a key thing here is that they are only doing releases every other week.

So when changes skip a code review, they are still subjected to a good amount of peer testing before they ever reach a customer.

I think that's a reasonable approach in the situation, and I can see why they have gotten good results from it.
As far as the technology goes, you could have the user GPG sign something and upload that attestation. Something about the UX of that leads me to believe that'll be a non-starter though.

Login/verification doesn't require a transaction though, so is relatively quick. Blockchain in this context can be thought of as a collection of (public) keys.
Why is that a useful term here?
There is one thing that is innate. I can tell you.

I saw it from my nephews recently. One was building a castle, like five floors high with some stuff. The younger kid comes and destroys it. His brother gets deeply annoyed and started to cry. Why? Because he spent time building it.

They are three and one years old. Do you think anyone taught them to get annoyed when the castle is destroyed? No, it is innate: what takes effort has a value for humans.

We did not have the level of wealth of today before, but every single human that puts time somewhere wants to be the ruler of that effort. That is innate I think. I saw it clearly with my nephew's reaction. Noone taught him that.

Looks like a good experiment to me.

For better or worse American public schools have basically become an essential service as a free day care system for busy parents. I'm not saying this is good, I think it's a huge problem, but pretending that is not the way it is doesn't help fix it. The question is how to make improvements to our education system to prevent it from being misused this way, and on top of that how to actually politically make those changes happen when there's a huge number of parents that just want to pawn their children off to the state and would oppose such improvements.
Classic Innovator's Dilemma. The existing older model has mastery of several different features but adding unrelated features to the model is time consuming and expensive. Adding these features to the newer smaller models is much easier. Often times the older units are completely unaware of the capabilities of the newer ones.

Possibly a difference in terminology. Minio is in the same space as S3, Ceph, and HDFS - sometimes called blob store or block store. Each object might be part of a log, video or other large file/stream.

If there was a market for basic research then thousands of companies would be doing it. But pretty much all private basic research companies (including universities) are today funded by governments. And if you look at the history of any advanced nation, the governments created most of the markets that private companies could then take advantage of. Even the technology of the most basic private companies (pesticides etc. for farming) was researched and paid for by governments. Until it was mature enough for private companies to take over and run with. Most people recognise that it is a good thing for governments to create markets via research because it benefits everybody. New markets are created which means jobs and benefits/products. What is puzzling to me is that the same people who think it is OK for private companies to take advantage of research funded by tax money for feee is not OK with tax paying people taking advantage of the same research by getting a University education in return that they have already paid for or will pay for in the future via taxes.

The images in this post gave me heady flashbacks of my after-school job at CompUSA at 16 stocking shelves and helping soccer moms. I wasn't even technically allowed to work there. Corporate set minimum age was 18 so I wasn't allowed to cash in on any of the commissions on printer warranties I sold.

I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with the actual content of the article. My statement was purely about the criticism on liberal politicians adapting something they read in the NYT. I think it's in general a positive if someone is able to change their views and revise their position when me information gets presented. Ideally we'd all be open to that regardless of the source. I know I'd be positively surprised if FoxNews were to publish a piece slamming refusal to take vaccines. The last thing I'd complain about is Republican politicians adopting that stance.

I purchased a 20,000mAh “jump pack” for $120CAD two years ago to use with my boat. I’ve jump started it with no problems, and this was a Mercruiser 350. I’ve also boosted a car and a truck in -25C weather. They work great, are super portable and only weigh 2-3lbs.

Caveat - unlike a standard battery booster pack (lead acid), lithium battery does not take kindly to freezing temps, so it is useless to keep it in the car over winter. I wouldn’t expect to be able to start anything in the middle of winter up here unless it was kept indoors at room temp.
Indeed, as a cyclist, I love the paved county roads that are still in tolerable condition but with virtually zero traffic. But that's certainly not a benefit if you get stuck somewhere out there. Also, the actual location of roads can become uncertain in poor visibility or if the snow is drifting.
