Is there hospital choice? In my area anyone who wants to open a new hospital has to get approval from the other hospitals in the area. I don't think this is unique, I believe it's a fairly common practice across the US.
I have evidence. In Texas we just received our school's scorecards. They show, at an aggregate, how my school (and district and state) performed at the annual exams for 2019 and 2021. The scores are broken out by some different demographics, such as: race, poverty, and disability.

As GP mentioned, the standard scores for black people, disabled people, and poor people dropped by more than the average. I had my eye on disabled people - and I was disappointed in the change!
I think we should automate this work away, or at least figure out what’s preventing that. Boilerplate is a problem, not a good investment of human effort.

Not easy at all if you have remote workers.

Someone from EST works 9am-1pm; someone from PST starts work at 9:30am. Daily overlap: 30 minutes.

Yes it could be solved if you want to define core hours in the middle of the day, but I suspect people who want half time work don't view working in the middle of the day every day as the point of the exercise.
> I don't know the US education system enough, but there are some schools out there which are much more selective than any SWE interview process. You can be guaranteed that the worst student from these top schools could nail any algorithm interview with minimal preparation.

There’s a whole lot of spread at any college. Assuming a hypothetical ranking from 1-100 with 1 being unable to program or problem solve and 100 being your Jeff Dean/Fabrice Bellard/Linus Torvalds programming god of choice an average state school might give you people from 30-70 and a top school might be 40-80. Lots of smart people go to state schools and lots of idiots come out of top ones.
I read interviews with protesters yesterday, sorry no link available.

But my favorite search engine immediately brings up these ones:

They are a couple of years old, but that things would have changed for the better in Russia does not sound likely, all reports are talking of the opposite.

There are also many reports about systematic rape in Russian prisons. Committed by inmates who are forced by the guards in exchange for less inhuman treatment.

Search for Nawalny's reports how is being treated if you still have not enough. Of course he gets carefully selected treatment because they know that the international press is reporting. But still it's a country where not only the leader is a brutal criminal.
So sad.., I remember as child going to Neuquen airport (Patagonia Argentina) to see the aircraft when was there
It's good policy to treat your prisoners of war very well, despite what you might think of their motives.

They are more likely to surrender.
At the end you are just helping save the life of your own.
There’s no reason to pay actual teachers for remote work. They can just be teaching videos with offsite proctors.

It’s 100% about doing less work for the same pay
The bigger issue I've seen is that there's a relatively fixed amount of time required for overhead activities (e.g. compliance training) and context sharing (meetings). Purely hypothetically, if those sorts of activities eat up 10 hours a week, then a full time developer gets 30 productive hours, whereas a half time developer only gets 10. You might think there's room to cut down on overhead, and you might be right, but when the majority of employees are full-time, it may not be the most pressing issue to change.
Tromp's binary lambda calculus, which is what Justine is using, is based on de Bruijn indices.

It works, but it's very fiddly. My favourite way of solving the problem of names in the lambda calculus is to use Pitts-Gabbay nominal syntax. Wikipedia has a weak article on them, which I mean someday to fix up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_terms_(computer_scienc...

I've worked part time before, and it has worked .. but I think the key thing that has allowed it to work is being open to flexibility.

I will shift my days / hours if necessary. I'm able to request they shift if need be too.
Yeah, who one step away from saying it's not a war but "special operation"?
Okay, let's discuss ethics. I don't see or have an ethical problem with this. Scalpers are taking a risk, if the supply was greater they lose, if the supply becomes greater before they can move their inventory then they lose. The supply is not greater. It is an amoral reality.

> I'd like to live in a world that isn't full of selfish assholes trying to fuck everyone else over all the time. I understand market dynamics just fine - I got rich from it and I'm a shittier person for it.

It is not possible to live in a market based economy and fulfill that desire. It is very easy for me to accept that. Demand for the asset simply has to dry up. It has not. People that want a PS5 can get one, at the available price. Scalpers are providing liquidity, you provided liquidity. Individual owners would be removing liquidity, likely causing greater premium in price to let one go and further hoops to jump through.
I can see where he was coming from, even as I agree that it's a dick move to complain that someone's using mix. It gets to the ethos of pancakes. I can't remember his exact words, but Bittman wrote that you can essentially bind any kind of starch with any kind of liquid and an egg and have a pancake; it's approximately the simplest thing you can make, and it's incredibly forgiving: wildly different ratios of ingredients will still produce cromulent pancakes.
It's not that surprising. Some states have banned government officials from even using the term "climate change" in official communication[]0]. Society is still very much in conflict about whether or not climate change even exists, which isn't going to change as long as political speech prioritizes reactionary aggression over legitimate research.

The Ukraine conflict OTOH has now escalated to nuclear threats, which poses an imminent risk to pretty much everybody. This is why the EU is now mobilizing after initially staying out it.

That's the big problem with leap seconds IME. Every time one happens we find that the fixes for the bugs that happened last time have been undone during the intervening period.
Yes, I see your nickname. That's the case if we go into details.

I think he specifically means high-end, high-frequency power FETs, since all the rage today is about them.

I would add that there is no real need for super-high-end switches in EVs, and component size for them is not a huge premium. There is no shortage of smart inverter topologies which achieve very good size, and efficiency without using any kind of fancy GaN of SiC switches. They will not be as small as them on the lower end, but around 100kw there is virtually no difference.

Exactly. And there still many people shocked by NATO'1999 bombarding of Serbia.
There is enough spent fuel stored in America and around the world to reprocess and enrich fuel for thousands upon thousands of nuclear warheads. There is also enough energy in spent fuel already stored that, if reprocessed, could fuel existing reactors for decades. Jimmy Carter broke the fuel cycle when he outlawed spent fuel reprocessing using the reasoning that it risked nuclear proliferation.

You can have actual employees working only 24 hours a week.
> Is there a surplus of quality teachers in the US?

There must be a surplus, at least of qualified teachers, if not quality ones. Otherwise how do we find enough people with a master's degree willing to take 45K a year to teach 25-30 rambunctious kids all day long? It baffles me that we still manage to find people willing to enter the career field, frankly.
Well, I did exactly what you suggest, providing an alternative source.
Emacs isn’t too far off from this (I don’t think there are signed PDFs involved though)
I never perceived him to be any kind of asshole on Twitter, even as I disagreed with him pointedly about stuff. I think there's a pretty significant "tall poppy" thing happening with Kenji online.
I might look into active, high profile opensource projects to learn a thing or two from there. I think for this to work, planning needs to be very precise: as a team you know what you are going to do, devs need to be very good at what they do and enjoy what they are doing. This is often difficult for companies as there are many things that need to be done asap, projects/teams often being managed by non-tech or non-experts.

I've worked part time for a startup remotely across timezones. I personally credit the technical lead for the most part for its success. Then, the chemistry within the team was really good. When someone says something others tend to get it. And the planning. The tech lead sets up the goals for the quarter and push back on distractions from the business side except on rare occasions. The management was also very competent, they seemed to listen to the engineers.
I can't believe what I am reading

We are doomed
I’ve been hiring part time developers with great success for the last 2 years. I have people working anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week.

It’s certainly not without issues, but they’re all solvable.

If anyone has questions, or wants to be added to my future hire list, feel free to email me (in bio). Or drop questions below.
So give every kid $15k/year and be done with it.

Schools will open in neighborhoods that have 8 students and one stellar teacher. You’ll have all the parents coming by and seeing the kids and joining in the education process.

Other parents might want their kid to have a classical education. Other parents might want a traditional Islamic education. Others may want a massive university style education, with half online.

All of these styles can be possible with school choice. I don’t really understand the vitriol. Its better for everyone if everyone is more involved and has a more tailored approach. Even those with special needs, it’s not unreasonable to double the credit. Have them get help.

I think there’s plenty of ways to improve this.
Hey Email looks to have some great features, but at $12/user/month it's more expensive than Exchange Online or Google Workspace, which means it's more a choice about whether a user values Hey's nifty features (and they do look nifty) than an easy option for email domain hosting vs the OP's issues with iCloud+.

For my family's email needs, $12/user/month is a bit of a non-starter given the competition.
With school choice and vouchers we expect new schools to open up. We aren't permanently limited to just the schools that already exist in rich and poor districts.
Networking will often get you past a phone screen, to be fair. (But not the offsite which is usually algorithms-heavy.)
You could just provide a link. Then you wouldn't have to paraphrase or explain.

I'd be really cautious about attributing people's personality traits to drinking; as insults go, that one's pretty grave.
Developers in the UK are used to UTC being the same as the UK's winter timezone, and so it's a bit confusing that time 0 is not midnight but 1AM on 1 Jan 1970, due to the short-lived British Standard Time.
I'm not the hiring manager for any of our open positions, so I can't make any promises. But we're a flexible place, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the positions were part-time-friendly.
> You think a government that xenophobic wouldn't also put a gun on a drone?

When they do, I'll complain. They aren't doing that now. I don't think guns on drones at the border with Mexico will happen in my lifetime.... I'd put money on that.

> Or that Biden and the Democrats are that different?

Yes. Yes I do.
Is AWS the proof you’re wrong or just the exception?
Indeed. An abysmal shame and a huge pity...
> Charter schools operate as non-default schools within the public school system, they don't get to charge parents at all.

You need a great big asterisk on that statement. There's a well regarded charter school about a mile from my house, we considered sending our kids there. They may not actually charge parents money, but you know what they do? They require parents to spend one day a week volunteering. Technically that isn't a charge, but effectively it's exactly that.
You would need to add "charter schools are not allowed to declassify special needs students without a third party evaluation by a public school counselor."

Because that's what they typically do. Special needs students who lag behind but are required to be allowed to attend on vouchers get declassified so that schools no longer have to apply resources towards them. They eventually either fail out and thus are no longer their problem, or are withdrawn by parents.
How about php then, a language that seems so suited to the lambda runtime model, but then only supported through custom docker runners.
Yeah, but they've also been cut off from the global payments system, there are reports of bank runs currently underway, and the Ruble is down 30% against the USD last I saw.

Full ownership of the energy company isn't going to mean that much to the Kremlin when they can't transact internationally and the Ruble crashes and people take to the streets.
No good parent just "trusts" teachers to raise their children. Good parents are constantly involved: keeping tabs on schoolwork, helping and encouraging their child, meeting with teachers and administrators, volunteering, and sometimes getting their child moved from one class to another when the teacher is bad.
Picking 2 famous computer scientists was not a good comparison on my part. I'll own that.
I mean the teachers unions in CA are exempt from the vaccine mandate. One of the few public workers who are.

What does that tell you?
Yes we’ve been tracking this and it doesn’t seem likely. It hasn’t looped, or repeated, and it’s chaotic as all hell with the signal constantly getting jammed.

Sometimes people play patriotic songs over the frequency to troll them. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
That'd be really weird at the IKEA near me, as it means it would be basically impossible to get to the food court.
You're conflating different things. People can already choose between public, private, and homeschool. The "credit" is a public resource allocated for a certain purpose under certain conditions. A union doesn't unilaterally decide anything.

You're entitled to choose a non-public school, to want to divert a public resource to yourself with fewer strings attached, and to want more leverage to disregard teachers' stakes in delivering education. Not everyone would agree with your conclusion that it "should" make things better, or that it's even necessary to make improvements.
I've written something that uses RS. The mind boggles at how much trouble (including security issues) if the inventors of CSV understood all of ASCII.
"To Explain the World" by Steven Weinberg. Not only a history of science, but one written by a great scientist.
That makes absolutely zero sense. Whatever you lose in the end is what you will lose. You can lose many billions this quarter and more billions next quarter.
Not sure if any place is doing it for police, but there absolutely do exist private fire services. You can choose to buy a subscription to their service, or not.
Public school teachers get paid plenty. Where I live ~68K is the average and they get summers off. Plus tenure.
Exactly, the useful documentation I have seen is from devs recording a clusterfuck solution in a wiki so they remember how to handle it again in six months. But that is just in large companies. It has the side effect of being useful to me when I find it in search. Documenting actual software? LMAO!! It moves so fast that it is impossible for anyone to capture it.
Could you link to it? It's probably easy to find; just search for

I think people at this level have enough economic dignity points already. Let those on the bottom rung have a few.
Could it be that they're trying to make sure that any old online accounts on the old email address isn't able to be hijacked? In most tech workplaces when you leave, your email address is being put in a holding place and not reused - i.e. I never got daniel@ as an email address in any of my companies because there was always a Daniel before me, and once they leave they don't want me to reuse the address because I could reset the password for any of their accounts that had used that email address.. Less likely scenario in families but you could still imagine some family conflicts or falling outs and then someone goes and does bad stuff with accounts? Just a thought.
Considering how complex the immune system is, there are probably a whole lot of sequences that encode "immune response"
> They can make way more money billing everyone per month than by the second.

Based on what? Obviously the price per second will be higher than a fixed monthly rate. See Lambda vs EC2 pricing for example. AWS’ whole infrastructure is pay-per-use and they’re banking.
Yeah from what I’ve seen of him always came across as someone who was a jerk but completely oblivious to it and his on camera persona is very fake once you’ve seen him off camera in comments.
1) I'm sure it _has_ caused BP to fundamentally rethink their position with Rosneft. Not necessarily for altruistic reasons, but that is probably a true statement. When they got into Russia, it looked like an investment in, say, Turkey or Egypt or China or some other moderately-unpopular-but-not-radioactive regime. It looks different now.

2) They are unlikely to get a line item = $25B payment from anyone to make up for this, but it may well be that it pays off in a lot of less easily quantifiable ways, which can nonetheless be equal or greater in value. A lot of the petroleum business involves politics, compared to many other industries, and the hit from trying to hold on to it might well have been more costly.
The person you are replying to never said RT is unbiased. They only said that free societies should allow people to hear it. Part of living in a liberal society is allowing things you disagree with.
All workers should have a say in dangerous working practices. Everyone needs a union.
I can't imagine how the busses would be organized in order to make that level of choice work. Do you intend that we should eliminate regional schools with supporting bus networks and just have parents drive their kids to school?
Sometimes that works out in your favor, others it doesn’t. Lambda minutes are far more expensive than EC2’s
> Know any people of color? They're screwed

Uh what? Do you really not see how racist this is???
> Tesla is growing MASSIVELY. It's basically a certainty they'll be making 2+ Million high margin cars by 2023, likely up to 5 Million in the next 5-10 years. The stock price reflects that massive growth.

So 5-10 years from now they'll still produce half as many cars as Toyota. Assuming they can do so without reducing their margins, and that in the interceding decade, not a single other mainstream automaker will produce a competitive vehicle. That's quite an assumption.

Based on their growth trajectories, they won't reach Toyota's production rate until about 10 years from now - in spite of being valued the same as the entire rest of the auto industry put together today.

There really is no justification.
Oh that old thing, minor out of band communication never hurt anyone.
Unions represent the teachers' interests, not the students'. Not only that, but there's more than sufficient evidence that remote learning harms kids, especially the poor or otherwise disadvantaged. At the end of the day, you have to weigh potential risks, which for kids COVID is a very small (though still real) risk.

It is especially hard on parents whose jobs don't allow working remotely- retail, manufacturing, etc. Why should teachers be exempt when parents are not?

I use "-" instead of "+" with a regex: "/^name-.*@mydomain\.tld$/".
Then I block them when I get spam after they get compromised. Many spammers already know to remove anything after the +-sign.

But I must admit that the biggest benefit of this setup, was listening to my girlfriend on the the phone explaining to someone, at some company, the reason that their name was part of the email-address:

"That is because if I get SPAM, I know that I can't trust you."
...
"Just make sure that you don't sell it, or get hacked."
...
"If you are already expecting to get hacked, or sell it... why should I do business with you?"

It was priceless.
They are a memory test not an intelligence test. If you truly wanted to measure intelligence it would have to be based on a priori knowledge and not on the ability to memorize algorithms and their implementation.
CrossOver does run 32-bit Windows EXEs on macOS
While true, it's not the whole story. lambda is also approximately 1000x more expensive than EC2. So if your lambda is only running 0.1% of the time or less (12 seconds per every 3 hours 20 minutes) you break even. If it runs more than that, lambda is more expensive.

This is just price comparison. There are other reasons, convenience, visibility, integration with other services, to choose lambda sometimes and EC2 other times.

It's important to profile and know what your use case is!

>The irony of technology workers who constantly express their unhappiness and frustration with being micromanaged telling a discipline (teaching) how they should be doing things.

I know that was an attempt at a zinger but deciding whether to remote school or in person school isn't anywhere close to micromanaging.
I think you are generalizing Amazon to the rest of the tech world. AFAICT, Amazon appears to be uniquely problematic in this regard.

It is cemented by Fukushima. From wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany

> Within days of the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, large anti-nuclear protests occurred in Germany. Protests continued and, on 29 May 2011, Merkel's government announced that it would close all of its nuclear power plants by 2022.[7][8] Political writer David Frum characterized Merkel's decision as a political move to improve her approval ratings which had sagged after the post 2008 financial crisis bailout of southern Europe by Germany.

Regardless if things were in motion before, the decision to phase out was for a political gain. The rest of the story one can write themselves.

It put the country on the course we have today. It will be very interesting to see how the greens trot around that.
Winner!!
I’m flagging the article because of this. The headline gives a false impression
It's fascinating to me how well Obama's rhetoric following Deepwater Horizon worked - he very deliberately called the company "British Petroleum" where it's name was actually changed to literally the letters "BP" nine years prior (NB the lower case bp was for logo/branding purposes only)

Now whenever you see Americans mention the oil/gas industry they don't seem to mention ExxonMobil, they don't seem to mention Transocean, the operators of the drilling rig, they only mention BP.

The propaganda worked.
