Schools buy Pearson because Pearson has strong marketing and is the biggest obvious choice, and because Pearson helps schols exploit their students by selling customized (not nationally standard!) hard-to-resell textbooks. Not the only well-developed choice.

> "Common Core approved"

This does not exist, so you have no problem with Common Core. Common Core is an open standard, not a certification. Any book can be Common Core aligned, and any school board can choose to certify a book within their jurisdiction.

Common Core is a standard (checklist of abilities students should learn), not a curriculum.

Ilustrated Mathematics ( https://illustrativemathematics.org/math-curriculum/ ) is a curriculum, which is Common Core aligned, that fills in details of the standard. IM certified partners who each publish books. (Both open and proprietary partners exist) This is closest to the accredidation you mention.

Yes, accreditation is an expense. That expense can be paid by donations, grants, or government payments.

There are currently 3 textbook publishing partners of Illustrated Mathematics.

Illustrative Mathematics's publishing partners are also not Pearson.

Illustrative Mathematics (used in various school districts) is based on Open Up Resources, a Creative Commons -licensed curriculum https://openupresources.org/math-curriculum/ that includes teacher/home/student lesson plans (not exactly a text book, but K-12 school curriculum is designed to be led by a teacher, not self-studied.)
MineClone2, probably, but you miss out on what makes Minetest better if you use it. It's not compatible with all the other mods, it has a more restrictive height limit to mimic Minecraft, etc.

I guess if you play MineClone2 and have fun, you can always play minetest_game with mods of your choosing later on.

Nobody wants to talk about this "elephant in the room" but I agree with you. Even obese people don't find other obese people attractive. Young people are dating (and having less sex) today because the majority of them are obese or overweight.

They can... but a challenge with a small planet in the habitable zone of a star is that it also has a weaker magnetic field and is more prone to having its atmosphere stripped away.

Consider that the moon had an atmosphere - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_the_Moon#Ancient...

> In October 2017, NASA scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center and the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston announced their finding, based on studies of Moon magma samples retrieved by the Apollo missions, that the Moon had once possessed a relatively thick atmosphere for a period of 70 million years between 3 and 4 billion years ago. This atmosphere, sourced from gases ejected from lunar volcanic eruptions, was twice the thickness of that of present-day Mars.

http://time.com/4974580/nasa-moon-had-atmosphere-volcanoes/

Which brings us to

https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/13583/what...

While smaller planets are certainly more numerous - many of them likely lack the mass and active magnetic field to retain an atmosphere in the habitable zone.

How did you calculate that? I don't know how much snow there was, but 10 inches of snow has around 1 inch (2.5cm) of water.

The bridge was 136m long, by about 13m wide and assuming 2.5cm of water content:

136m * 13m * .025m = 44 m^3 of water, or 44,000 kg, roughly 50 US tons.

A newspaper report said there was a light snow with 1 or 2 inches accumulated since 2am the morning of the collapse. Photos of the scene showed grass and small rocks on the ground visible through the snow, so it doesn't seem like there was a lot of snow on the ground. Even if there was heavy snow a couple days before the collapse, most of it would have been plowed off, I don't see big berms of snow on pictures of the collapse.

So if there was just a couple inches of snow, then it was probably closer to 10 tons worth of snow.

I believe "who cannot cut it in STEM" is a very dangerous thing to say. How many theoretical physicists or golang developer positions are available? By definition only a minority of men can hold them. And the government is importing foreigners to compete for the same positions too. But a society is much larger than that. And if you don't support those alleged "90-105"s from your society pretty soon you'll be a minority in your own country. Which incidentally is going to happen to Americans in my lifetime.

When was the last time your heard politicians talking about it? Ross Perot and DJT?
A cellphone camera is, what, $5? Maybe you already have one. Or an audio input jack you can crank up the gain on. Maybe a radio transceiver, like for wifi or bluetooth?

All our gadgets already have sources for way more truly random bits than we could ever find a use for.

If you feel you really need to build something from scratch, resistor thermal noise is random. Likewise, diode shot noise. Total parts cost for either is well under $1. Combine them if you like; you are still well under $1.
I shared, and in many ways, still share your sentiment. But, having recently done my first international trip (to Mexico) for about three weeks, I would say my perspective has changed.

I think it helped that I stayed in hostels. Basically, all of the fun I had came from meeting people at breakfast or at bars, and then doing things with those people. The people you meet at hostels are open to meeting people and, being travelers themselves, are usually coming from somewhere interesting, with an open mind, and with nothing to do. I had a lot of great conversations with people I wouldn't have normally ever met, learned a lot about their cultures, and learned to get really comfortable meeting and befriending people.

The other thing I consciously tried to do was be open to everything. If someone invited me to go do something I hadn't done before, I'd say yes unless I had a good reason not to. That led me to a lot of interesting places!

The experience for me, as an American in Mexico, I would also say genuinely did make me rethink how I understood Mexico and Mexican culture in the US. I would be very excited to go see firsthand a lot of the countries that have influenced me in some way, because it really seems different when you see it directly rather than just on TV.

I think it also helped that Mexico was very cheap and I had no responsibilities back at home. I showed up with no plans to do anything at all, and no expectations. Some of the days especially at first were relatively boring. But it felt okay, as part of the goal was challenging myself to enjoy life even when I really wasn't doing anything.

Have you considered traveling in ways besides simply sightseeing? I think the travel industry pushes one idea of travel onto us, but it's not the only way. Many of the people I met were lifelong travelers, who worked in their home countries until they saved up enough to travel for six months, and then they would go and try to make their money last as long as they could while still enjoying themselves before repeating the process.

And I agree the logistics of travel are terrible. But, it wasn't actually too bad on my trip here. It was easy enough to book a flight to Mexico. And once I was there, I basically booked space at hostels for 1-3 days at a time, and then just extended my stay one day at a time if I wasn't bored yet. Unlike the hundreds of hotels in big cities, there are usually 3-10 hostels in any given area of Mexico so the choice was always easy, and since they're so cheap ($15-25/night) and have good availability I never really worried about booking them.

All of this said, I think I could probably have traveled even more adventurously. And actually that's a good summary of the mindset I think you should consider: be adventurous. Try to challenge yourself by eating foods you normally wouldn't eat, going places you wouldn't normally go, talking to people you wouldn't normally talk to. I think you'll get a lot more from travel that way.
I would argue mass shooters do, more often than not, believe strongly in something. It might not be religion or even a traditional ideology and the shooter might not even really understand themselves what they are experiencing but I bet if you dug in deep you would see some pretty extreme views on the world, themselves or their fellow man.
I understand there's a bit more to it than that.

Here's the section in Professor Whyte's talk: https://youtu.be/KkpqA8yG9T4?t=2215

> It's even more subtle than that, in fact this is really one of the things we've studies at MIT, is that there's other things that come in terms of benefits, particularly when you make the magnetic field very high, it basically starts to tame, just all of the whole suite of plasma instabilities that exist.

Apple's new Control Center Bluetooth menu bar also contains no way to even see what codec is being used now, they've removed a wealth of debugging information.

> In fact, the source of morals among atheists seems to be a permanent puzzle for many people with religious background, simply claiming them as religion-based misses the point completely.

I don’t have a religious background and it’s still a puzzle for me. Best I can manage to explain it is through a combination of tradition and genes (“human nature”), and tradition is often indeed derived from historical religious environment. Moral is mostly universal but not completely - for one example the attitudes towards hard work at the expense of everything else vary greatly across different cultures and religious traditions.
"unsafe" is pretty clear: the block/function is not safe, that doesn't mean the rest is safe. I suppose it might have been better named as "asserted", "assumed_safe", or "manually_checked", but that's much more verbose and not necessarily clearer.
Please don't take anything I wrote as an attempt to dissuade you from what sounds like a good idea. As others have pointed out, perhaps a lot depends on just how "overweight" one is. Also, do it for yourself -- the rest is incidental.

I'm 6'3"; was 190 lbs at age 19 (university); was 210 pounds at age 21 (could afford to eat out for lunch); was 245 lb at age 40 (depressed + about to be divorced); now back to 220-230 lb at age 46. Would like to be consistently 210-215 ish.

Have dated a number of 30 to 45 yo women who explicitly like a "Dad bod".

EDIT> I have never picked anyone up off the street, at a bar, club, whatever. I pass for sociable, but am actually a big introvert. Like, it bothers me when other people are in my home, with a very few exceptions. But I'm told I have "dork game". So my experience is biased -- only seriously dated in my 40's

Met my true love on Tinder, and she's more of an introvert than I am, yet fun and relaxing / no-maintenance / no-drama to be around.

There is a class of problems that I've become accustomed to being forever in the future.

- Nuclear Fusion
- AGI
- Driverless cars
- Quantum Gravity
- Carbon Nanotubes

There appears to either be a problem where these are either convenient money sinks, problems that are missing key break-throughs or missing critical technologies. Nuclear Fusion would be easy if we had 400T magnetic fields and the structures to support them.

We seem to be missing a critical cultural element required to drive these types of innovations - or we are missing the slow tooling, process, and incremental innovations required to support these technologies.

113 bits will still fail on iterative processes. If you dig into probably any of the robust kernels of things like parametric modelers, they all need these methods. The above example I gave is terribly naive: things get vastly worse.

Above was only position. Now build in Bezier surfaces, or better yet, NURBs so you can do true conics as well as crazy freeform surfaces.

Now compute the intersection of such objects. These intersections require very high degree polynomial representations. Now repeat.

If you quantize points on the intersection curves too much, you'll get all sorts of pathologies, things doubling back, near singularities ..

The way to deal with this flawlessly is to allow whatever precision is needed to prove necessary constraints are met.

A good lib would use each representation as needed: double, libdouble, liquid, liboct, etc. as needed, and eventually arbitrary precision. I've written several systems that do such over my career. It's a cool space

A nice simple place to try this is to make an arbitrary precision Mandelbrot zoomer that switches underlying types as needed for precision.

It's much more fun to make these work on various AVX flavors, or on GPUs. All are doable.

X2. The movies and then new seasons were okay, but in a different way where they kind of seemed to be caricatures of the original run.

Jurassic Bark is always the mentioned best episode with Futurama, but it (and Luck of the Fryish) is just so sad. Not that they aren't good episodes, but the Luna Park episode in season 1 (with Bender assaulting the mascot, the "moonbillies"), then Bender getting hooked on electricity in Hell is Other Robots and even Mars University with Gunter's classic line (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uqjv0mHpapk) are all great. Godfellas and Pharoah to Remember are also underrated.

What if you have that width and aspect-ratio defined and in "galaxy far, far away" someone will define height for that element?

What about good old principle of least astonishment? Not for us anymore?

That's the problem - instead of two properties that define box dimensions you now have now who knows how many props changing dimensions

Why the hell property named align(sic!) `align-items: stretch;` shall change box dimensions? And what to do with width/height then?
I always wonder how laws about human interaction will translate to virtual space. In physical space, there are so many ways that people bother/assault each other, which can land you in serious trouble. Will virtual space be treated similarly?

I worry that people will let the experience become too transparent. They'll forget that the platform is essentially a god who fully controls the capabilities of player avatars. This is a contrived example, but instead of thinking "why did the developers allow avatars to carry guns and shoot others?" they'll think "the guy who pointed a virtual gun at me should go to jail."

There could be a lot of highly charged debate about VR spaces that happen entirely at the wrong level.
I think cultural legacy is more deeply intertwined with morals than people appreciate. It’s just hard to see it because you’re surrounded by it.

It’s easier to notice when you compare between countries and across religious traditions. My dad was raised very religious (Muslim) in Bangladesh. His grandfather was an imam. He is non-religious and I grew up non-religious, but I joined a Christian church after I got married. From that vantage point I was able to see how much of what I thought was secular American culture could be traced back to Christianity.

Consider, for example, the obsession in Christian countries with equality. They almost fall over themselves to welcome people from different ethnic backgrounds. I suspect this has something to do with Christianity’s origins as a Jewish religion adopted by the Gentiles. I mean, how many societies have a religion centered around some other ethnic group?

There’s so many aspects of society and culture that are the product of history, and of course history is deeply intertwined with religion. My atheist friend, who is white, was telling me how much she hated her uncle for being racist against Muslims. I pointed out to her that was an extremely Christian thing to say! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010&ve...

> Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

By contrast, Islam is a religion that arose in Arab society, where kinship ties mean everything. In my home country, putting people you don’t even know over kin, based on some abstract notion of justice, would be unthinkable.

2 x Gigabyte G27QC monitors.

- Slight curve helps with eye strain when working with 2 monitors side by side.

- Better than 1080p resolution

- Light enough to fit my monitor arms while almost as large as the arms will fit.

- Good feature set with things like a Picture in Picture mode which is handy when you hook them up to two desktops like I have.

- Affordable price point compared to more high res displays.

- I was able to get the matched pair from a store locally where I have a warranty and physical stores for pickup to ensure a big breakable object doesn't need to risk "free shipping" or any other arbitrary overseas shipping for any warranty/RMA for potential future issues.
That's my point. `aspect-ratio` also has a spec, so the dimensions in your example are also well-specified.

Right now we have a duopoly of mobile platforms, and both of them are hostile to hackers and power users. If the only options are a bad option (Apple) and a somehow even worse option (the latter being Android), that is not a market showing signs of healthy competition.

That video's a bit confusing because it purely talks about watts and not everything is continuous.
