I have a similar freakish ability, but mine has to do with writing. I can basically ~see~ approximately three pages of prose in my mind's eye while writing. It only works under certain conditions, but it feels just like I'm transcribing something rather then doing any kind of deliberate thinking. People are shocked what comes out of me, and even more so when they see how quickly it happens. You would need to see me in person to experience the full effect, but my body does not match my words. Imagine the biggest lumberjack you've ever seen describing the petals of a flower with such high precision that it takes your breath away. That's me.

The censorship was Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube blocking it all at once before the election. The media helped by downplaying it and going with the Russian disinformation/hack lie.

Playing semantics over whether omission of truth is bias vs. censorship doesn't make a strong argument.

A smaller number of nukes might increase the likelihood of them being used, if their use wouldn’t guarantee total annihilation of either side. They might become a tactical option, because even if you get nuked back, you might still live to fight on.

Still safer for the world in general though.

Estimates of Americans living overseas vary from 5 million to 9 million. A lot of those are retirees (presumably past the age of contributing to Social Security and Medicare), and government employees and military posted overseas. The number also includes students (generally not earning a taxable income), "accidental" Americans who got citizenship by birth (like Boris Johnson). Actual expats and nomads are probably a fairly small number.

It would be nice if US tax laws and Medicare and so on accommodated expats and nomads. That would likely benefit me. But I chose to live an unusual and minority lifestyle as a nomad, so I have to take the good with the bad. It's not worth my time, effort, or money to get involved with political lobbying on a niche issue that doesn't interest or concern the vast number of US citizens or the people in Congress who might make changes. The government will always have bigger and more pressing issues than unfair taxation of expats, and we will always be a tiny minority of constituents.

More than once I have encountered Americans who interpret my choice to live abroad as somehow "abandoning" my country, or running away from it. And most Americans don't know about taxes on expats/nomads, they assume that if I live in, say, Thailand I am not paying US income taxes. When I explain that Americans are taxed based on citizenship they are surprised -- why would an American who lives and works in the US know about that? Likewise Americans are usually not aware that getting a tourist visa to visit the US (for a foreigner) is often difficult and time-consuming -- they have never had to deal with USCIS. So that presents a political challenge: the expat/nomad lifestyle is not something the majority of Americans (or their elected representatives) understand or care much about.

Good luck with the uphill battle. There is an advocacy/lobbying organization for Americans living abroad:

https://www.americansabroad.org

Of course they ask for money. I choose not to get too involved with trying to reform the government or tax policies. It's a fact of life I can deal with, I have better things to give my attention to.

It is really strange to me that we can't figure this out.

I almost think it is because our entire view of education is conflated with a type of sporting event. You were one of the grand champions of this sporting event even though obviously it would have just made sense to learn more. Instead it is this weird sporting event race and the concept of learning more just isn't part of objective of the game.

I see a lot of comments on the outcomes of gifted kids and others in their cohorts depending on whether or not the gifted kids are separated out. I'd like to add a dose of Realpolitik:

Already a disproportionate number of gifted kids are from wealthy families, and if gifted education goes away, those kids aren't going to be in the "regular" public classes, they are going to private school. The clear losers in that situation seems to be the remaining gifted kids from less wealthy backgrounds.
Those movies were lying to make a point; they were trying to terrify people and succeeded, not trying to make them survive if it actually happened. It's rare that you would see a thoughtful film about surviving and rebuilding the world after it, because it is beyond the scope of film and doesn't have the hook that fear brings.

Don't take things too seriously. Remember all the movies about the internet in the 1990s.
Rasmus borrowed this distinction from Larry Wall, since PHP was originally implemented in Perl (which also uses + for addition and . for string concatenation).

The neat thing about PHP and the + operator is that you can sometimes trick the interpreter into doing math on the underlying bytes of the string: http://dominic-mulligan.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/SRE...

Romero released "Sigil" in 2019, which is an unofficial new act for DOOM, and I believe last year he announced he was working on a sequel using the same concept for DOOM 2, so I have very little doubt that this was created in that project and ultimately rejected for inclusion and this is his way of getting some good out of it, which is pretty awesome.

I am sorry but you have your priorities wrong. The existential threat to all of us is sitting in Kremlin and we must stop him now. I am in Europe, winters in my country are cold with lows to -30 celsius and our the government has been shortsighted/corrupt for decades that we depend on Russian gas for heating for full 100%.

>"sick but still productive" day at home

I don't get this. If you are sick then be sick. Instead of working 3-5 days in half capacity just take a rest day or two and you'll be back to 100%. As I've understood some countries have limited sick days, but that's not a thing here. I always tell my team members to take sick day if they don't feel 100% because over all it will be more productive if people work they they are healthy.

And as per pre-pandemic remote working days were always an option, just not full time since there were days like sprint start and ending days that were much smoother when everyone was present in person.

Inspired by recent events, I re-watched 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb'. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Vladimir Putin watched the movie with Oliver Stone. Putin said not much has changed, except the situation is more dangerous today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdxls8uC4DA

Discussing the Ukraine war the other day, I brought up the movie and learned that people have no idea what MAD is. It is possible that the only thing more insane about the MAD doctrine is that people living under it have no idea they do. What a world we live in!

Or may be it is marked like this by Ukrainians so that when Russian soldiers look it up, they don’t bother to bomb them as what is the point in bombing a funeral home .
What this shows is that google doesn't have the tools to properly implement the restrictions they said to have applied. It's funny when they showcase products in a big presentation and never bring them to life but it also shows that even when it's important you sadly can't take them at face value.
Crimea is Sudetenland, but Ukraine is more like rump Czechoslovakia.

I don't have problem with the principle that a country has broad latitude to handle internal affairs in its own way.

Nor a country, within limits, seeking to project power in its neighborhood. The principle of self-determination, as articulated by Wilson's Fourteen Principles a century ago, is very difficult to reconcile with condemning too heavily the Russian majority of Crimea seeking to leave Ukraine and rejoining Russia. The current invasion of Ukraine is different.

As for why Putin (I would have written Russia, except based on many news reports it seems like Putin made this decision alone, shocking/amazing everyone around him) invaded Ukraine: I don't know. Putin's own words indicate a goal of rebuilding the physical USSR, but there is a good case to be made that Russia was strengthened after 1991 by losing chunks on the outer edges peopled by non-Russian ethnic groups. (Chechnya being an example of a chunk that it really ought to have lost.)

NATO expansion isn't a satisfactory answer, either. NATO has bordered Russia since Norway became a charter member in 1949. Russia wasn't thrilled about Poland joining NATO but it seemed to be able to live with it, and one is hard pressed to say that NATO is actually strengthened by having the likes of Montenegro as members. Everyone knew that Ukraine wasn't going to be allowed to join NATO as long as the Crimea and eastern Ukraine territorial situations remained, so in practice Ukraine was permanently blocked.

So why this war? At least Hitler could cite lebensraum for rump Czechoslovakia, even without the ethnic Germans that had justified taking the Sudetenland. But no one thinks that Russia, whose population is shrinking anyway, needs more space. The only two things I can think of are:

* Russia feels the need to expand its borders and build buffer zones as much as possible before its demographic crisis really hits in a few years and the country can no longer staff its military. (Peter Zeihan has talked about this for years.)

* Putin really has, as Macron and others have observed/hinted, gone crazy.

in my 20's I went through a numerology phase and began taking the digital roots of everything, it became a habit and now I can't not do it. I developed a really similar sort of visual mechanical sense for the digits 0-9 where the digits click together as if they were magnets and the closer they are to 5 the more they repel their own parts (eg two 5's might easily disintegrate to snap into a nearby pair of 3's). it's really interesting to hear about other versions of this sort of thing.
I'm on a few different tech-oriented email lists. The ProtonMail users are all weird. Extraordinarly argumentative and paranoid.

Would it?

The human nature of phone support permits social engineering. People have lost their phone numbers (and thus 2FA for their Coinbase or whatnot) via a targeted attack at their cell phone carriers' support lines, calling over and over until one rep buckles at the well-crafted sob story and overrides something.

I cannot imagine the magnitude of bullshit such a line would have to process. Posting it to HN would probably be faster and more effective in almost any case.

Romans did not build roads, they made others build roads for them. Crusaders did not build castles, Palestinians and Turks were made to build castles for them.
I definitely interpreted it the other way, owing to the "would they have ever" part. The original subthread is about their motivation for an exit. The existence of early key employees that got (potentially a lot of) equity is quite relevant to that topic, and the sentiment that it would have been harder to hire people in this industry without offering equity at a startup is not wrong.
I suspect this is done to prevent targeted attacks.

Max Bazerman and Rich Zeckhauser (e.g. "Investing in the Unknown...") have written some very interesting stuff and "The Best of Charlie Munger" is worth reading.

Also, spending a lot of time playing poker (or bridge) can be very helpful. The fact that Zeckhauser is a champion bridge player may be worth thinking on.

netstat -s gives protocol statistics, some of which might be useful, you might also have ethernet interface statistics somewhere in case the interface is dropping packets (on FreeBSD, interface stats for nice drivers will be in sysctl dev.X where X is the driver name; some drivers have better data than others, but I haven't debugged Linux issues enough to find the same data there)

Either way, tcpdump on the host or the client (sometimes you need dumps from both) should tell the tale. You probably don't need or want wireshark in between the peers, a capture from either can be loaded at your leasure. If you suspect a non-application issue, you can do -s 64 or so and not capture most of the application data, but still have all the TCP headers. pcaps aren't always exactly the truth about what's on the wire, but they're pretty close.

Personally, I get a lot of mileage out of Wireshark, so every problem report looks like a pcap. If the server is really busy, the pcaps get too big, and you have to do things like short bursts of capturing and hope you see the issue in the burst, or sampling, but if your server isn't very busy, you can do things like pcap all the packets, and ask for problem reports to include client ip and port number and then you can find it in the big pcap a lot easier.

The reason why this is a really bad idea from an efficiency and an equity POV is that it leads to royally screwed-up incentives for teachers. No self-respecting teacher really wants to teach a class of "struggling, low-achieving" students. So the lowest quality teachers end up teaching those classes, and the struggling students are basically trapped with no prospect for real improvement. It's awful.

It would be very different if teachers could meaningfully specialize towards providing effective instruction for these lower-achieving students. But we barely manage to do this for actual "special" ed, and then only at huge cost.

I was a kid who coasted through school and got by on smarts alone. I don't care how we push kids, we just need to not let them coast too long. If that means enrichment or acceleration or whatever else the comments are debating, it's pretty much all better than the status quo.

I find it interesting that in the UK a primary school child (say aged about 7) would trivially know that "80 + 4" is 84, but for the problem "4 x 20 + 10 + 7 = ?", might require quite a lot of effort to work out that the answer is 97.

In France, "97" is said "Quatre vinght dix sept", i.e. 4x20+10+7. This is apparently acceptable to the brain as a final answer, there's no way to collapse it to "90+7".

You can add bans to fly to or over most of Europe, likely Russian-imposed restrictions or total ban on flights leaving Russia and most of the parts supply chain refusing to serve them to the list of woes.

Given the amount of flights they're currently unable to operate, losing some payment obligations to aircraft lessors may be almost be a relief.

(The Russian government has threatened to "nationalise" some aircraft in retaliation, but the problem with doing that is you get your own aircraft repossessd when they leave Russia, even if trade with Russia reverts to near-normal after the war)

I have a friend who completed his teaching degree. He said the policies at the school where he student-taught were so bad that he decided not to apply to teaching jobs. Stuff like you weren't allowed to give less than a 50% as long as they put their name on the paper, and ineffective discipline options. Basically, the school was just passing kids through the grades without the kids really learning and some kids wouldn't even try. I guess if you just graduate them, they're no longer the school's problem...
We played Oregon Trail as part of school here in the US, and probably had a similar sense of US geography at the time, but we were just happy to get to use the computers.

> Also, this is not related to Putin only. Russia is one of the countries which have a stable strategy for at least a century, and they just want to make their goals a reality.

This reads like a personal take on things. Russia doesn't have a strategy lasting much longer than the life of its current leader. It is as chaotic as any other large organization.
This is quite true; I was also speaking to selective private schools. Around here the admissions ratio for many private schools is crazy low, indicating that they are turning away plenty of qualified students and that they can recoup the lost tuition by admitting another pupil at will.

In that situation it starts to approach "is there something on campus with your last name on it" levels of donations if you want to avoid getting kicked out...
Except that I said that about swabbing the nostrils, did I not?

Look, I think the tests are essential. I also think that people judging their neighbours parenting or their kids or completely ignoring the difference in people's circumstances when the outcome is distressing or difficult are wrong to do so, especially when it is the result of actually trying to comply with advice.

Being superior about parenting in this context strikes me as bad manners.
