Ironically, a school-choice-ish program was tried in a metro area near me- the idea was to get some inner city kids out to the burbs, and some suburban kids into the city, to increase diversity.

The opposite happened- almost all of the kids from the city choosing the program were white, and all the kids from the burbs in the program to go to the city schools were black or Latino.

The end result (Which killed the program) was that kids and their families chose an increase in segregation, rather than diversity.
Again?

That being said, it's certainly a conspiracy, whether it's legal or not.

College tuition and fees have outpaced inflation for 50 years. Universities are addicted to money, and are more than happy to consign students and their parents to lifetime of debt.

Student loans are bad enough - adding parent loans on top of them is outrageous.

(Of course for decades schools considered home equity a form of cash that they could simply tax or confiscate as desired. Now of course homes are unaffordable so fewer parents have home equity anyway.)

Since scholarships are deducted from financial need, they typically save the school money (by reducing the grant portion of financial aid) but do little to reduce the amount of money that students and their parents are required to pay.
If you want free education, you can go to your neighborhood school. Not everyone _can_ go to whatever school they feel like (feel free to guess which kids can't attend school 30 miles away on a whim).

Opt out if you like (there are always private schools), but not with my taxes.

I'm not the op, but it certainly does for me. I'm a strong supporter of unions and a strong opponent of public sector unions. Private sector unions are a critical counterweight to the power that private employers have over their employees. Taxpayers are the employers of public sector employees, which makes public sector unions nothing but political lobbying organizations.

> The big problem is that both the RfD in the U.S. (1.75 mg / kg bw / day) and the ADI in the EU (0.3 mg/kg bw /day) for glyphosate have already been proven to be far too high by independent peer-reviewed studies.

Would be curious if anyone has links to said studies. I am deeply skeptical that the current glyphosate practices are safe in the long term. But I was not aware that any reputable research was available one way or the other.
Good thing we are talking about consumer electronics and not healthcare, but if you must extrapolate then I can tell you my position is one of liquidity and services that provide liquidity, which the US healthcare system does not satisfy because of different market inefficiencies.

CF18s have turned back Russian air force MANY times. Back during financial crisis the Russians were coming into our territory often. Obviously no shots fired, Russian pilots were very lost.

This notam isn't about military. CF18s can easily send commercial planes packing.

Russians won't be sending military planes our way. Airspace incursion by military planes would be article 5 instantly. Russian military is losing to Ukraine. NATO actively joining into the war would be a roll. Russia would fall over so quickly, the more difficult task would be deciding who gets what territory.

My own server, since 2001. Regex part since about 2003. It has been very effective, and still is.

The most effective thing back in the day was blocking based on TCP fingerprint, as "Windows XP" was different from "Windows 2003" IIRC (with OpenBSD PF).

I would say that the strengths of Erlang have made their way into the mainstream, but into infrastructure and tooling rather than languages. I believe the reason for that is because the current crop of popular mainstream languages will never forsake their imperative roots. Erlang's true strength is that it approaches the distributed computing problem from first principles, which yields a language that feels right to work with in that domain; whereas the mainstream attempts to shoehorn distributed computing onto an imperative foundation, which has always been very awkward since it's really just trying to square a circle.

The wealthier parents hired private teachers and the kids didn’t miss a beat. Even the middle class parents just split the cost across 5 kids and they did class in the park (to align with restrictions).

The poor parents? Well they can’t take time off their jobs or work from home. So they scrambled to find someone willing to watch their kids do online learning. It started with a couple hours per day and now those kids are at least a year behind while their middle-upper class peers and right on track.
I'm sure that there are many amazing products on this list but I just want to give a shout out to Typesense (Algolia alternative) from personal experience.

Pretty much anyone who hires private security (most large businesses, celebrities, etc) or a private investigator is effectively hiring private police.

They won't be able to fine, arrest, jail, or recommend charges to a prosecutor, but outside of that they can do pretty much anything police would (and many things police would not, depending on how busy the department is).

Many event venues will even require hiring an off duty police officer as security when serving alcohol, for example.

The biggest problem I have seen is that the local school educational bureaucracy (administrators, teachers, unions) are on covid-time while our children are growing up and developing in real time. If you are on covid-time, your instinct is to delay, seek consensus from a billion parties, and basically act very slowly to adopt to the realities of the pandemic. If your school is on covid-time things change slowly unless there is top down pressure (Florida, etc) or a brave local administrator who is willing to make decisions with ambiguity (very rare).

Meanwhile, children keep growing and developing. My opinion is that because we can't control child development and need for education (and social exposure) we need to make bold decisions with limited information to make sure we don't leave our kids behind. I didn't see this happen in my local public school. But, clearly, many parents have taken the perspective that they can't sit by the sidelines and wait for covid-time people to have events play out and left the public school system.

I don't know if union to blame as much as people not acting with a shared sense of urgency.
I have been thinking along the same lines. Who would actually want to run this pro Russia puppet regime? How many Ukrainians would recognize it as their government? Will the rest of the world ever want to do business with such a regime?

"suck up your tax dollars"? Ask any public education worker you might know, just how much they get paid. They are grossly underpaid for the societally-important work they do. Further, they absolutely did not take on the job knowing they were going to be risking catching a wildly-infectious deadly disease. Also, no one's talking about "only work when they feel like it", and your disingenuous reframing of not wanting to die from a preventable illness is insulting at best. There's little reason to force in-person teaching when infection rates are at sky-high levels. Them being paid by tax dollars doesn't mean they don't deserve a safe workplace. Think empathically about what you say before you post it next time.
Add to the fact, professional chefs often specialize in different cuisines. Hiroyuki Sakai's specialty for example was French cuisine. They aren't feigning to know about something foreign to them, they're literal experts in their domain. This is a passion.

The catch with "cultural appropriation", if you read the frequently updated definition on wikipedia, is it's deemed as such if it's done with disrespect (or, alternatively, if you're white, with the rationalization that it's "colonial". Yes, words have lost meaning). Taking the care to learn something in depth as it is traditionally done is not disrespectful. However, spinning off other cultures as "exotic" consumables for personal gain can be. But we already have a word for this: disrespect.

Unless teachers are somehow very different than the rest of us, regardless of the pandemic, a significant percentage have discovered they prefer to work from home. Those with powerful unions can drag the process of returning far longer than those without.

> they are doing either multiple part time jobs or a full time job + part time job

Have you considered older workers that are nearing retirement? They're probably looking to lean-out, and a part-time job could give them activity in their lives, while getting you someone who is highly experienced in getting things done. You wouldn't be paying benefits, but probably a higher hourly rate (for less than 40 hours) to compensate.

Or job sharing, where you bring on two part-time workers. My sister did this for many years - it gave her time to raise her children while being able to pay a nanny + daycare. She worked Mon-Wed, and her job partner worked Wed-Fri. The overlap allowed them to coordinate, and they were able to call and send texts to each other at other times.
I read "preliminary examination" as implying further examination was under consideration, or happening already.
I wonder who the naive participants would be in this case. Russia's institutional investors would presumably know better, no?
I guess you managed to selectively edit out of your mind when Putin characterised the shape of post-1917 Russia as a mistake by Lenin.

He has been quite clear about his desire to invade and subjugate countries to re-create the Tsarist empire.

You're right, but it's a shame to guess when the PCAOB release made it ultra-clear:

Private schools can expel (or refuse to admit) underperforming or problematic students. But in most states, charter schools have to follow the same admissions and disciplinary policies as any other public school. That includes taking special education kids. They don't get to pick and choose.

The reason to do that analysis is because to not do it leads to initial-situational-specific madness: the idea that this money they received could someday be worth $70M, and that you wouldn't be saying this had they received dollars via PayPal or something, is akin to the people who claim "you must be sad you purchased a candy bar with your Bitcoin back in 2012", which is clearly non-sensical: it entirely ignores that value exists in the moment and the decision to not do something IS a decision.

The teacher's union represents teachers. Do you really consider teachers to be the enemy of your kids? Do you place your children into the care of their enemies five days a week? Do your kids consider their teachers to be their enemies?
We optimized the public school system, by design, for stability.

It turns out, it isn't very good at agility.
Most people’s entire education budget is taken up by their taxes that go to public schools. So unless you are giving people their tax money back in vouchers for school this is an elitist and privileged argument.
> Germany, is very supporting of pacifism.

I'd say that pacifism only works as long as nobody cares to attack you, or you have someone else around, much stronger than yourself, to protect you.

That is, it works as long as you don't have to face any real evil. I'm afraid it's not a realistic long-term policy.
Sounds like they are selecting for families who are heavily invested in their kids' education. Great way to bump the test numbers and have focused classrooms, but it definitely isn't for everyone.

In-person learning does, too. Districts with more minority students tend to have larger class sizes. Fewer technology resources. Less property tax to draw upon.

In-person instruction - which 95% of American schools were doing in January of this year, and 99% of them in December (https://www.usnews.com/news/education-news/articles/2021-12-...) - isn't gonna solve these structural problems.

> Hailey is not alone. As the U.S. reaches the second anniversary of the pandemic, a growing number of parents and psychiatrists report that a return to in-person learning was not the magic bullet many had hoped it would be for school-age children and that the pandemic has resulted in a host of mental health challenges even for those young people who seemed as recently as a year ago to be faring relatively well.
If he's betting high enough to win 50x his stake over two bets with a winning edge, he's a moron.

A mathematician with a clue and a winning house edge would bet fairly conservatively and bet more as their bankroll expanded and bet less as their bankroll retracted to reduce their risk of ruin. Somebody making 50x their bet in an hour at roulette may sound impressive to many people, but it's obviously idiotic to any gambler worth their salt. It's so unlikely that it suggests incompetence at risk management more than it does genius gambling.

Physicists build circuit that generates clean limitless power from graphene
I interview senior SWEs at a big tech company (I've done in the order of a few hundred interviews, which were a mix of coding and system design sessions).

I'm always open to hearing about ideas to improve my interviewing, but I find that threads like this are repetitive and not really actionable.

One common misconception I keep seeing is the idea that the interview result revolves around solving the question. IMHO, that's a bad approach (which is unfortunately taken by many interviewers) and in fact it's an incomplete way of assessing candidates, given that most big tech companies have a list of competencies and/or values that are supposed to be evaluated. Big tech companies usually want interviewers to assess on multiple dimensions, ranging from communication quality to specialization fit.

As an interviewer, you're supposed to think of the question as a vehicle to go over these topics, not a pass/fail end goal in and of itself. In my interviews, I pace my hints with the goal of having the candidate complete the question, even if it means dictating answers to unblock them. There's nothing worse that sitting there wasting time feeling smug when the candidate gets stuck on something. Time is short, so it's much better to move on quickly to different topics than linger on something unproductive.

If you're on the interviewer side, my number one advice would be this: question the calibration of the question bank. It's usually a kitchen sink of everything the person writing it could think of, without regards for time. You might already feel that you don't have time to cover everything that the question is supposed to cover, let alone all the non technical criteria that leadership asks for. So instead, cover a few actual technical concepts (syntax, recursion, what have you) to rule out complete incompetence, and then take liberties to go into topics that do cover a wider variety of aspects. For example, discussions about testing, refactoring or debugging can all be productive ways to spend time in a coding interview.
