I especially like that you chose prime numbers. A week composed of a prime number of days will remain the smallest indivisible group of days that a culture will have.
Yes, it’s a shame that there are only two 5K 27” displays to choose from, and both are expensive. The industry has dropped the ball on this for years, all those 32” 4K screens may be cheap but they’re no use to me…

Efforts like this are well meaning, but only treat symptoms. The major impetus for watered down curricula is the very rational fear that large swaths of the student population will fail if expected to perform at the prior standards of rigor. Schools are not prepared to hold back massive numbers of kids, drop out proclivity for students held back rises, and teachers will be poorly evaluated by virtue of their students' inability above and beyond reasonable expectations of what they can learn in a single year given prior failure to build a proper foundation.

How we got to this point is perhaps a lot more complicated and politically fraught, but it has to be dealt with. Administrators and state education leadership are often simply responding to the incentives and avoiding dire outcomes suggested by the data. They have to craft palatable excuses for it, and it's ultimately a waste of time to engage those excuses on face.
You're risking damage, you're risking theft, you're paying higher insurance premiums in either case, etc, etc.
TBH, it doesn't seem like they've been doing much before either.

any platform can become an echo chamber, it really depends on you. There is a difference between Mastodon "no algorithm" echo chambers and Twitter "our algorithm decides your echo chamber". So yeah, you do you. I prefer other networks where users have more agency and where the owner is not a bully, but you do you.
There's a huge difference between mean-spirited user-generated shitposts and quirky advertising campaign. You're talking about the latter. Crucially, an advertising campaign is carefully crafted and gets approval, whereas millions of shitposts you might potentially advertise online are not and do not, and many of them pose a brand risk to be associated with.

So I ask again, show me examples of advertisers that enthusiastically advertise on shitposts.
Seems pretty straight-forward. Empathy requires energy and if someone is under stress, they generally have less energy to worry about others.

As an aside, a lot of people are joking about the pyramids. However, 3200 years ago is 1200 BC which is New Kingdom. The pyramids were built in the Old Kingdom. When these workers were complaining, the Great Pyramid was already 1000 years old.

(The bosses probably talked about how back in the day when their ancestors built the pyramids, workers were much tougher and dedicated)
Technically you're right - it was an attempted coup.

Hotline impressed me most because they wrote cross platform mac and windows servers and clients.

If I recall correctly - back when MacOS didn't have true pre-emptive multiprocessing, holding down a menu or a button would stall other processes/tasks. Hotline wrote custom controls so you could hold a button and things would still run.

Yeah I think this is very true. There are no large conspiracies, just people falling for stupid low hanging fruit all the time. I am sad to say it is also on the left side. I think it is unlikely that there is a pee tape or that it happened. I also don't think Trump has some evil plan just super erratic mind and willing to say whatever makes himself look good or will earn him money at any time. Like a true hustler.
>> Of the three acquisitions I've been part of, only one didn't have some sort of change freeze associated.

> Indeed, this is reporting standard practice as if it were newsworthy.

I think you're confusing "newsworthy" with novel. You might know what "standard practice" is for an acquisition and can infer a change freeze from that fact, but a lot of people don't know and may still be interested in knowing the implications.

This is a natural consequence of the American myth/narrative that everyone is suited for academic high school and university. Other countries simply sort people into different schools much earlier, and spend the high school years teaching meaningful vocational skills to those not on the academic track, rather than wasting everyone's time.
They're avoiding dire outcomes for themselves while damaging society, however. A merely performative education is truly something awful.

The carbon footprint is from keeping the cows alive as they emit a lot of methane which has 10x greenhouse effect compared with CO2.

I am not sure what carbon footprint has to do with cattle "smuggling" a term used by cow lynching mobs to accuse muslims transporting cows. The use of the word "smuggling" is key because the transporters actually own the cows, the lynch mob typically lynches the transporters and accuse the dead victim of illegal transport.

Your choice to mix up climate change and mob lynching is really weird.
Locking the bootloader (to enable verified boot) isn't only a protection against physical attacks. It also ensures that any deep OS exploit that occurs is not persistent since the base OS is cryptographically verified on boot. This is really important to the security model, because otherwise you have no reliable way to protect against persistent exploits or verify that you're running a genuine release of the OS you think you are.
Regardless of the validity of restricting JIT I'm sure many people would be happy having slower JS if they could use different browser engines.

I think Project Loom support will open up green thread support for more Truffle-based languages. I could see Go, Haskell, Erlang, Scheme, and Concurrent ML -style languages taking advantage of that infrastructure.

I'm also hoping for official support for static linking. Right now, it's an undocumented feature done through the Feature API.

As you say "bringing parts of the system down, or living with multiple versions of code inside your system" — at least momentarily some other modifications to data will be paused. In practice, the data is probably in a relational database and that will determine how the transition is done.

Does race work the same as gender here? I get that it's often still very arbitrary, but it's certainly less fluid (or rather, fluidity in this area is less acceptable). I can't love Mexican food, learn Spanish, and then decide that I identify as Hispanic. Inversely, if I found that I enjoyed wearing women's clothing and partaking in feminine activities then I could identify as a woman if it suited me.
Gron and jq are complementary tools IMO. I frequently use gron to trim down large json files such that I can determine what my ultimate jq query is going to look like.
This doesn't work. Mouse acceleration isn't exposed using a defaults key anymore. You need to use a tool like linear mouse to modify the scaling value.
Well it takes around 8.3 minutes for light to cross a distance of 1 AU so any light from the Sun will take that long to reach the Earth. No information about the state of the Sun will be available to us sooner than that 8.3 minute barrier. At the macro level where we all live our lives, this way of looking at things holds.

Understanding Relativity means embracing certain paradoxes and that just happens to be one of them. I mean yes, absolutely, the world of a photon would be something akin to a mathematical point with no distance or time. That knowledge is important but it's not always useful.
I can't argue with the possibility that your objections may be correct. They could be. I do think it's at least plausible that Musk believes he will make Twitter more open, but you're right: He's not above silencing critics, and when his own interests are on the line (let's say there's a massively viral tweet storm along the lines of #boycott Tesla or #shortTesla) he may very well come down on his own interests. I think it's also plausible that when his own interests aren't involved then he may not care much one way or another. (Not that I'm arguing for a completely open Twitter: I don't claim to know the best balance is, but I think there's a reasonable argument that some types of content don't belong there. Even if I really wouldn't want to be in the position of having to figure out a method & boundaries of the problem.)

>Looser content policies, even if that is what actually happens, aren't opposed to being a walled garden.

I don't think it's an either/or. It's a spectrum. The looser the content policies are, the less it's a walled garden.

Artificial General Intelligence, or "strong" AI. A lot of the things we consider AI today is often called "weak" or "narrow" AI, in that its scoped to very specific tasks. Hotdog/Not Hotdog kind of things. General intelligence is more like our kind of intelligence, where it is adaptable to a wide variety of tasks without necessarily needing an entirely different model or structure.

It gives study staff the ability to exclude arbitrary sick patients from the trial. Combine this with a little harmless unblinding and the whole study outcome can be fabricated with plausible deniability.

Notice that I'm referring exclusively to studies of prophylactics. The patient getting sick is the data point.
Why wait until after the acquisition? Have Twitter also announced a hiring moratorium?

Why did you ask for evidence in the first place of the claim that BLM held a position against the nuclear family if you wouldn't accept any evidence?

If your position is just a flavor of the 'No true scotsman' fallacy, why even bother?

Why not just come out and say "There can never be a true BLM source! You can never cite an authoritative position from BLM! You cannot cite anything because there are many local chapters, and the movement can exist even independently of that! BLM can never be criticized thusly for any positions! Ha!"

That is your position here, no?

It ignores that THERE IS a central hub for the BLM network. And the website for this is blacklivesmatter.com, which is what I cited. This is the primary website for the BLM org and movement. It is by far, the most heavily trafficked website in the BLM movement. BLM started with the group of people who created the org for which the website serves as the face for. Calling it 'purportedly onboard' the BLM movement is incredibly ignorant of its history. Yes, there is a broader network. But this is the center of that network.

This central hub (which runs blacklivesmatter.com) took in $90 million in donations in 2020. And it then distributed $21.7 million of that to local chapters.
Rather than standing tall for universal high standards, education officials pass the buck to look good. The result will be an increasingly unproductive, stratified, and unequal society.

You can pass and pass and pass people, but eventually an employer is going to need someone to do the job, and they will make sure they get that someone. So there will be a hard standard sooner or later. The only choice is whether we give all students a chance to meet that standard.

> CRTs do produce radiation, namely X-rays by way of bremsstrahlung due to the electrons getting, well, bremsed at the screen. This is part of the reason why CRTs are heavy (aside from faceplate structural integrity); leaded glass is heavy.

True, I didn't want to get into that level of complexity. The electrons are also quite easy to capture with conductive glass. But the bremsstrahlung can be significant.
> revolutions normally come through civil conflict, not military wars

I cant agree with you on this for two reasons:

1. A stipulated definition of revolution is needed to make a claim about what is normal or most typical.

2. Even when revolution takes the form of armed conflict (typically because its ideas can't win), I think the decisive expenditures are military as opposed to civil (i.e. police) because the territory has natural divisions within their military or because an outside entity/ies provides assistance to a side. Witness Lebanon, Syria, Vietnam, Korea, ....

Sorry for being out of the loop and asking a (possibly) dumb question: What is the stated reason that the CMF suggested these changes?

Is it about budgets? Is it because some people might think these classes "aren't that important?". The open letter seems to suggest that it's about closing gaps between privileged and less privileged - is that it? Honest question - I'm not trying to stir the pot.
Any idea what "WITH HIS BOSS" means in there? Is that also an excuse of absence, or is that what was marked when not absent?
Nothing in here indicates a causal cortisol->~altruism connection was discovered, nor did they attempt at hinting towards causality (e.g. via instrumental variable estimation). The described findings appear entirely consistent with stressful situations both increasing cortisol levels and decreasing altruism through an unrelated mechanism.

So I'm not sure I see the point of mentioning, let alone highlighting, a specific hormone rather than the causal variable they did study and discover, which is the stress itself.
It's possible that faster browser engines could be created, if potentially less secure. It would at least introduce more competitiveness into this space on iOS.

it's like saying, well, because DRC doesn't have the means to excavate and mine all of their resources like diamonds and metals in the next 20 years, foreign companies should come in and do it for them, keep all the profits and materials....all your diamonds belong to us now (queue evil laughter).

doesn't seem like a good argument.

a country should have control over its resources, not foreign companies. Seems like a very simple and business savvy concept to me.
Okay but what if American children were subjected to the standards of Chinese schools? You'd see 70% failure rates overnight at every school in the nation. Surely, in that case, we'd see policies like these pushed even by white people.

Likewise, the minority parents and schools simply see upper-class white schools in this country as we do the Chinese schools. I'm not saying that this is the best solution to the problem but I can at least understand where these parents are coming from.
I will only use biometrics for authentication on a device that does 3 things:

1. if the device is turned off, I have to enter my passcode/password to enable biometrics authentication.

2. If after long enough of being on the biometrics are not used, it will require the passcode/password.

3. There is a quick shortcut to disable biometric authentication.

To my knowledge iOS is the only one that does all 3. Mac does the first 2 for TouchID and annoyingly there is not a shortcut for the third available.

Windows Hello seems like a half assed security measure since it is missing all 3. At quick glance this does the same.

I'll add to the list: Advanced Charge Controller, and the ACCA GUI app for it.

This provides fine-grained control over battery charging if the kernel/device have the required features. The user can set limits on current, voltage, and percentage, as well as pause charging when the battery gets too hot. These settings can be saved into profiles selectable with a tap or on a schedule.

Limiting charge speed/capacity can significantly extend the service life of the battery.

At the time when I was learning go (about 5-6 years ago), this document was a truly effective guide which would have probably wasted my time by a factor of 100 had it been a published book on the subject with hundreds of pages of fluff (just because that's what publishers like).

Ultimately the solution is better STEM foundation at the very very early ages. Universal pre school would probably be very useful. Empirically [edit: n = 1 or 2], it seems that drilling basic arithmetic and then multiplication tables early in pre K and earlier elementary will give students a better intuitive math foundation to do algebra very well. That would enable everyone to go into more advanced classes at the same time (earlier) rather than these policies which want everyone to go in at the same time (later).
