I have a relative who's in his 11th year of a Montessori education, and none of us are worried about that. The parents are huge fans of the school.

Personally, I'm envious. I did well enough in school, but I was never a great match for industrial education processes. Too curious, too independent. But that's exactly what I've needed in my tech career; technology is now so complex and changes so quickly that we're all effectively self taught.

I don't think that kind of self-directed adaptability is going to become less necessary in the future, so I hope more schools adopt similar approaches.

This was a great question, but the article implies that the numbers are in fact mostly independent of each other:

> Interop 2022 has ten new focus areas:

> There are also five additional areas that have been adopted from Google and Microsoft’s “Compat 2021” effort:

> A browser’s test pass rate in each area contributes 6% — totaling at 90% for fifteen areas — of their score of Interop 2022.

> We believe these are areas where the standards are in good shape for implementation, and where improving interoperability will directly improve the lives of developers and end users.

A "test pass" could just be a test on which all three browsers give exactly the same result. But that would immediately imply that all three browsers would have the same Interop score, which isn't true. So I would guess that the number refers to "compliance with a standard", where you can be objectively right or wrong, rather than strictly to "interoperability", where all that matters is whether you agree with everyone else.

(The other 10% of the score really does appear to be graded on interoperability:

> Interop 2022 has three investigate areas:

> These are areas in which we often see complaints from end users, or reports of site breakage, but where the path toward solving the issues isn’t clear. Collaboration between vendors is essential to working out how to fix these problem areas, and we believe that Interop 2022 is a unique opportunity to make progress on historically neglected areas of the web platform.

> The overall progress in this area will contribute 10% to the overall score of Interop 2022. This score will be the same across all browsers. This reflects the fact that progress on the web platform requires browsers to collaborate on new or updated web standards and accompanying tests)

There’s about 9 US Departments that can be axed, with any useful functions within them merged into the remainder.

Which 9 is an exercise I’ll leave to the reader, because I don’t intend to get into a heated political discussion on this forum about FedGov reform, but I’ll just spoil that Defense is not one of them, and of the remaining Departments, you could get the most further savings with military procurement reforms; but every single remaining Department has entire Offices that could be eliminated.

This also doesn’t go into a countless number of other independent agencies that could also mostly be axed, merged or spun off to the States, nor the numerous Offices or Councils that have sprung up directly under the umbrella of the Office of the White House.

What I wonder is... What if the reason for war is not the stated reason?

What's confusing is, if it is as stated, West's sanctions are more damaging to the global peace than West sending troops.

That's 1 reason I think either the war is not as stated, or West is gambling with nuclear security by economically damaging Russia, because desperate states go to war to capture wealth and resources.
Cars also made us less healthy and more overweight since we don’t walk as much. They are also a leading cause of death when they crash into other objects.

Robotics on the other hand is a good example of how technology is applied to maximize profits at the expense of people. Same could be said about social media which largely exists to gather information about people and sell it to marketers. The internet as a library to access information introduced a great convenience but it is trending toward a paywall mode that makes information harder to access (a regression).

The article is largely cynical, but there is much to be cynical about when it comes to the latest developments in technology. Overall the cynicism is justified.

Many of the smartest minds are dedicating themselves to Wall Street and Silicon Valley under the direction of the questionable leaders of large tech companies that are largely focused on artificial intelligence (for surveillance and marketing purposes) and social media (also for surveillance and marketing purposes). There are some outliers like Elon Musk, but they are in small number.

Seeing Cunningham's Law on the front page, I'm curious: What are some of your past views that you now disagree with?

These could be personal, technological, or otherwise. I'll start:

When news of COVID-19 first broke from China in early 2020, I recall downplaying the severity of the virus to a friend. I wiseacrely remarked that the media erroneously referred to it as the COVID-19 virus, not SARS-CoV-2. Even after he shared his Chinese family members' experiences with the illness, I wasn't convinced.

It wasn't until it came to America that I paid closer attention. Reading the reports of the toll it took on our healthcare system, I took it more seriously as quickly as the virus was spreading. Regardless of the debate over death attribution and symptomatic severity, I never anticipated the pandemic to be in the top 10 deadliest epidemics by death count.

I think exceptionalism and ignorance played important roles in my initial take: "It's just like ebola, SARS, or H1N1. If it comes to the US, our superior infrastructure will render the virus a mere nuisance!"

P.S. Here's an incorrect technological prediction from a friend who had studied aerospace and ocean engineering: "SpaceX could never land a rocket on a moving ocean platform!"

This is true. The vast majority of YouTube takedowns are via the Content ID system, outnumbering copyright claims 50 to 1. But that doesn't tell the entire story.

The reason why YouTube has such a robust Content ID system in the first place is inherently due to DMCA. The less automated DMCA complaints YouTube receives, the less damage control and legal overhead it will be as expenditure.

>Large systems, like a school system, need rules and procedures that help guarantee a relatively consistent outcome.

But is that really true? For one thing, you can have a fail-over mechanism if something isn't working. For another, we already do: it's called special education. That's before we get to the part where "consistent outcomes" are not a feature of the current system, unless you impose a very low standard of 'consistency'.
In some ways it's a curse. Early on in my career I could take on and enjoy projects that I now recognize were doomed from the start. The older I get, the longer my "never do that again" list gets.

The positive side is that I can now recognize the good signs too. And I'm much better at diagnosing and fixing issues. If the people with power want things fixed, which is definitely not a given.

A union is not a panacea. For many people, unions are just as much of a hassle as a bad job and without the benefit of self-representation. And when all breaks loose, the last thing most reasonable is trade their agency
Same for me in New Mexico two weeks ago. I had an appointment and had a new license and license plates within 25 minutes. It was an excellent experience.

There was a guy next to me who hadn’t read about the required paperwork and tried to argue. His experience probably wasn’t great but that was his own fault.
We don’t really know what Russias strategy is here. They could be hitting the north near Kyiv as a primary distraction to build a land bridge to Crimea and hold on to the east.

They know at some point a treaty will be signed so it’s whatever they can compromise is the end goal. This would only take a few months at most if that’s all they care about (that and punishing western movement as a side gain).
Well, since they’ve been increasingly unionized, they moved places like Texas (Tesla, SpaceX etc) and China.

Take the medical industry, for example - they can’t exactly go on strike, yet they are the highest paying industry in most countries. Which goes to show that unions aren’t necessary to be paid a high wage (also Singapore, unions are illegal, yet they have higher average wages than most developed nations).

In my country of Australia, garbage collectors earn $120,000, which is around $80,000USD. Yet just recently, they went on strike, refusing to collect the garbage. This is despite earning far more than the average person. Or train drivers - they are paid even higher, yet they also go on strike. This is not fighting for basic health and safety rights of Cockney chimney sweeps - this is blackmailing their employer for more money for nothing, for already privilege and highly paid staff in a competitive industry. Which ultimately leads to higher costs for consumers, less competitive industry, and more general inefficiency.

If you want to see how an egalitarian education system reaches the best education system results in the world - Estonia and Finland are the countries to look at. Their education indeed follows the second model here. But rote learning is also included - the point is to challenge and support the child in manifold ways and keep in mind that they should enjoy themselves.

My point is though while in some countries this might be a class difference, really it comes down to a quality difference. Good quality does not actually need to be very expensive/rare, you can reach it at system level as do Estonia and Finland.
I find the negative reviews are usually the most informative. If all of a restaurant's bad reviews are about service or exceptional situations, that's a strong endorsement for the quality of the food.

Pictures of health code violations and stories of health code violations usually raise some red flags (especially if recent). Those are too easy to fake.

The most useful ones are when they go through exactly what they thought was right/wrong with the food (and a pattern emerges across the pictures and multiple reviews about different dishes).
RH 660s. I was skeptical at first, but it has really held up. I get really good signal reports and people always say they're surprised when I'm using a UV5R. I did drill the microphone port open a little wider by the way and I think that helped get some more gain/clarity as well.

Note that the RH 660s is 27 centimeters collapsed (11 inches), and 1 meter fully extended. It is rigid so not one of the floppy antennas. Collapsed it can take abuse, but when extended, bending is a risk.
That's exactly what I was trying to say, I just didn't know the right word.
IMO the service of netflix is the content library and not the fact it's streaming. If the entire show downloaded before playing, it would only be mildly less convenient than streaming it. But I don't think the streaming adds that much convenience to gaming. If your internet is slow enough that downloading the game beforehand is a pain, then streaming is totally out of the question. And gaming is way way less tolerant of network disruption since you can't buffer anything.

Cloud gaming seemingly only helps in the case when you have weak hardware but want to play AAA games. If we could put "good enough" graphics in every device, there would be no need to stream. And I think in 10 years probably every laptop will have built in graphics that are so good that cloud gaming is more trouble than its worth. It might sound unrealistic to say there is a good enough but I think a lot of things have already reached this point. These days screen DPI is largely good enough, sound quality is good enough, device weight/slimness is good enough, etc.

> The same argument used to say pirated music would kill music.

Yes, because it was true then too. Well, mostly true. There are big differences between music and video games. For example, the vast majority of artists can't support themselves based on the sale of recorded music. Most support themselves through performances. Additionally, there is a lot licensing of music to movies, TV and advertising.

But yes if no one paid for music it's quite likely that the industry would cease to be.

None of this applies to video games.

But I don't care if you pirate music (I did, at least before Spotify made it too convenient not to bother, which is a whole separate lesson). I also don't particularly care if you want to emulate Switch games. What I find distasteful is dressing up this selfishness as somehow being moral or just. You're not a principled crusader standing up for freedom. You're just a guy who doesn't want to pay for something.
Legally? No. Morally? Yes.
I think that’s a weird stat to try and provide an argument with. There’s been a huge influx of Asian immigrants to nyc in particular and high poverty rates makes sense if you’re grouping all these immigrants in one group because they’re from the same continent (which never made sense to me since even Americans see Indian people to be distinct from Chinese people for example). Thus I don’t think it’s fair to say other groups don’t have less opportunity based on that.

Also with regard to how other groups might have less opportunity, it could be a result of harsher institutional racism towards one group of minorities versus another even given the same socioeconomic circumstances.

Differentiable programming is becoming more and more popular. If there were accurate models of memory/cache behavior, we could predict how code changes would change performance due to CPU behavior, and might be able to get programming tools that can make this way more visible to people who don't know about it. But I have my doubts it will be as easy as I make it sound - and I don't think I make it sound all that easy either :)

> Well, since they’ve been increasingly unionized, they moved places like Texas (Tesla, SpaceX etc) and China.

And yet Germany with some of the strongest unions in the world is a manufacturing powerhouse, and plenty of ununionized countries have very weak manufacturing. So something else must be going on.

> Take the medical industry, for example - they can’t exactly go on strike, yet they are the highest paying industry in most countries. Which goes to show that unions aren’t necessary.

Friedman famously described the AMA as the strongest union in the country, so that's the opposite of showing unions aren't necessary.
> and are adding to the confusion.

> had gameplay in them... and as far as I know and understand US law and its current interpretation, Nintendo is likely well within its rights to DMCA gameplay.

No, not for informational purposes. Nintendo doesn't have the right to (for example) demand a review video come down just because it doesn't like the coverage -- even if the video includes gameplay. If the emulator tutorials showcased large swaths of gameplay then that would be a problem, but snippets would not fall into that category.

Copyright has limits. Companies often try to create the impression that every review, article, tutorial, or blog post that references their products only exists at their pleasure. But that's not actually how copyright works. You can't take down a news article or tutorial unless it's using those snippets in a way that goes beyond fair use.

Of course, Nintendo technically can take down those videos, but not because there's a legal right to or because they're protecting their IP; Nintendo can take down those videos because it has a bunch of lawyers and can threaten to ruin your life regardless of the eventual outcome of any lawsuit, and because Youtube will take down the videos for Nintendo without ever checking to see if Nintendo is abusing the DMCA/takedown process. But that's a separate conversation.

As always, IANAL, but including a snippet of gameplay from a Nintendo game in a tutorial about a Nintendo emulator is probably perfectly legal.
