>The very rich having astronomical amounts of money has zero negative effect on the day to day of the middle class - we don’t have a limited money supply.

I think this almost completely false. Elon Musk just bought Twitter and could drastically change a major point of interaction for hundreds of millions of people. The Koch Brothers spend billions to influence, to great effect, the laws that are passed in the US. These examples are not rare. The economy is almost zero sum, certainly since the 70s the top percentiles have been taking a larger portion of the pie even considering the growth of the pie.

But anyway I think the general point is that is that even by working yourself to death you only increase your income or net worth by small numbers while someone like Elon Musk can 10x it over the same time period.
It also allows options trading by retail investors (options are traded in 100 share tranches, which for GOOG or AMZN right now means your minimum option trade is on an underlying value of ~$250K, meaning a 5-10% swing is... significant.). Splits make options trading more accessible to retail investors by dropping the minimum risk 10-20x which also might cause a natural demand increase.

> Obviously there has never been a correlation there and even less so now with the wide availability of fractional shares.

Splits have historically caused price bumps, so I think this isn't true.

> - shares down slightly, but negligible.

As of right now, shares are down $120, after being down $80 during the trading session so it's pretty huge.
If you talk to these people though. They DO have bad beliefs. Let's not even talk about politics. Their goal is to get a kid a degree,(especially in groups that dont normally get degrees) and many of them believe just having the degree to get past the job resume hurdles is good and helping people.

They ignore the fact that the degree is supposed to be a proof of "This person has X skillsets at minimum". It no longer is. There is basically no job in the United States that cares if you have a high school diploma or GED other than government jobs. They are repeating this process with College right now. The College Diploma is now the new High School Diploma, and pretty soon jobs are gonna want Masters or Doctorates for entry level.

This is a bad belief, they don't (or won't) understand that they are ruining and devaluing a thing by their actions and beliefs.
> Countries like Japan and Singapore went from being desperately poor (at a level unimaginable even to an inner city American) to developed in a couple of generations in the 20th century

Those countries did so by making absolutely massive infrastructure and human development investments in their poor populations during their industrializing phase, very similar to what the US did for its previously poor white population after the 2nd world war.

The people who face the greatest educational obstacles in the US today are disproportionately people who were also largely excluded from the huge post-WW2 investments and ensuing economic miracle, and have since faced the economic brunt of de-industrialization.

> I’m pretty sure they didn’t (and still don’t) have a bunch of school psychologists on staff.

They have far less crime and trauma to deal with, are not awash with weapons, and had very strong communal support systems. They were/are also quite authoritarian. Those are very different societies with very different circumstances. You can't directly compare the situation in post war Japan and Singapore with inner city America. By dint of our own history, issues of education and equity actually quite a bit harder here.
I would agree with this. The standards aren't super high -- from my POV as someone who always excelled in math. But it's clear (to me, at least) that even the "incredibly low bar" is actually quite challenging, at every grade level, for very many students.

Speaking of teachers... my own grade-school math development, decades ago, was stunted by the fact that my teacher didn't know anything about linear algebra. I asked her for help deciphering my "Amiga 3-D Graphics Programming" book, and she concluded that the vector and matrix notation must be a bunch of typos. Arrgh!
> IIRC when conservatives were complaining that twitter was reducing their reach

Conservatives were only getting their reach reduced because they were being banned for posting racist content. Them screaming "shadowbanning" isn't a real thing.

There have been reports that US GOP politicians have been exempted from the algorithmic moderation because too many of their accounts are posting content indistinguishable from white supremest talking points such that they would get banned too.

Bad analogy. Being able to understand statistics at an everyday usage level is the equivalent of being able to read and write. Understanding calculus needed for statistics is the equivalent of needing to understand Latin or comparative linguistics. Noble and useful pursuits for sure, but you can get far with an educated society that just knows how to read and write even if they're iffy on the Latin roots of it all.
Context also matters in the date parsing scenario. 11/12/22 could be several different dates depending on the context.
My (anecdotal but common) presumption is that the disparity often comes from a cultural / behavioral divide, which is increasingly blurry along racial lines but still distinct enough to recognize usually. By behavioral I mean things that are disruptive to standard teaching, like, during a lecture or presentation, students are spending time on phones or chatting with each other or listening to music or drawing or walking around. General "I don't care, I'm going to do my own thing" behavior. Sometimes the behavior is based in a cultural or subcultural expectation or standard. What methods or authorities do teachers have to enact behavioral change in such cases?

In most cases, none at all. If any attempt isn't derided as racist (or other -ist/-phobic accusations) it's viewed as authoritarian/inhumane. Decades of legal precedent and risk aversion have caught up to education, perhaps rightly so. I don't think there's any chance in hell of going back to paddling and such, so we need to come up with newer ways to enact behavioral change. In order to do this, I think we have to stop being afraid of slights against culture. Unity of purpose, of many one. Diversity is not a strength if there is no unifying principle among the diversity.
That's exactly how it works. The most effective propaganda is the one that you don't realize is propaganda.

It depends upon where you think calculus starts.

If you take the position that calculus is the concept of limit and all its consequences, then things like exp() and log() are calculus and it's hard to get anything done in CS without those. In this view, saying that quicksort is O(n log n) is a statement of calculus.

If you say that calculus is derivatives and integrals, then I'd say that calculus is not that important in a digital world, and that discrete math is much more useful. However, discrete math is harder than calculus, but you can use calculus as an approximation to the discrete answer (i.e., compute the integral if you don't know how to compute a sum, or use a derivative to approximate a difference). Ironically, this is the opposite of the old attitude that the continuous answer was the true one and the discrete answer was a poor man's approximation to the true one.

Would be really interesting to see explanations for this. I have a hard time believing that Twitter was consciously suppressing republican follower counts and inflating democratic ones, but I wonder if it could be something related to a sudden change in how they detect and ban bots, where bots happen to be used much more heavily by one political side than the other.

I'd expect that to be negligible because the size of funds Google is already part of (QQQ, VTI, SPY, etc. etc.) are orders of magnitude larger than ETFs that track the Dow (DIA is the only one that comes to mind).

The Dow itself is a bit of gimmick in that its value is the sum of all the prices of the stocks in the index. Meaning if Google joins at $120 but kicks out a stock that was $300 then the Dow would go down 180 points.
Up to this point it's been fully bootstrapped but I am hoping to find a way to work on this full time through an incubator as soon as I can. My goal was to push it as far as I could on my own to sort of prove the idea out.

I start to hate the term whataboutism - this is none. I am not justifying one situation with another, I am just demanding consistent judgment of similar situations. This is also why it does not really matter that it was 60 years ago.

You say the United States handled Cuba incorrectly, I do not know what exactly that means, but this is also not too important as long as you are consistent. We will probably disagree at least somewhat in our judgment. In my opinion it was not unreasonable for the United States to demand no missiles on Cuba given the tensions and mutual distrust in order to not increase tensions further. I could maybe also understand if Cuba or the Soviet Union had rejected that demand as reasonable in principle but not justifiable in this specific situation because of the aggression by the United States. In the end the Soviet Union did the right thing and deescalated. And they still got somewhat screwed by the United States because the concessions by the United States were no real concessions - removing the missiles from Turkey was already planned before the crisis because they were obsolete.

In consequence I also think that it is not a totally unreasonable demand from Russia to not want NATO at all its borders. With that said, is still do not think that attacking Ukraine is an acceptable way to achieve this, for example sabotaging or destroying NATO military installations once they pop up in Ukraine would seem much more justifiable. But then again, once Ukraine is a NATO member, Russia would have to deal with article 5. In the end I think this should never have escalated this far to begin with, Ukraine and NATO should maybe have aimed for a limited membership like Norway or no NATO membership at all.

This is of course only reasonable if you think that sovereign states sometimes have to accept limits to their sovereignty because of the interest of other states. You can of course disagree with this, but then I would ask you, for example, for your opinion on the destruction of Iranian centrifuges by Stuxnet. Justified or an act of war? I also want you to consider that it is easy from today's perspective to argue that the United States should just have accepted Soviet missiles in Cuba, therefore it might be better to consider how the United States would act today if China and Mexico reached a deal to station Chinese military assets in Mexico in exchange for economic support, maybe not even missiles but say a lot of ground forces. Would the United States be fine with that?

And you can of course completely reject the idea that NATO expansion is an important factor for the Russian aggression, then the discussion has to shift completely to evidence for different explanations.
Ok, what is the format string?

The reason why forward guidance matters is because of valuations. Google PE is over 20 as of close of day. Entire S&P 500 PE is 15 and even that is traditionally high. If Google's PE reverts to the S&P500, you're talking a 20% cut just from here. Forward guidance and consistent growth is what mutual funds will pay a premium for. Lots of companies have a ton of room to drop if PE ratios drop.
Success rate also isn't the same as difficulty.

It's very easy to fill out a lottery ticket, but success rate is very low.

Success is a boolean condition that often first needs to be defined, while difficulty is a spectrum and a more rigid concept. Really the only complication is subjective vs. objective difficulty (what is objectively difficult may be subjectively easy to someone practiced).

Difficult things require hard skills. Reducing someone's calorie doesn't require any hard skill that I am aware of.

this isn't that far off from how some european systems work.

for example, in the UK[0], if you lose a lawsuit, you have to pay not only your attorney's fees, but the other party's attorneys fees. It gets very expensive. As a result, some percentage of valid claims are not filed because the losing party cannot bear the risk of losing.

>Then I drew a square and was done.

You mean to highlight the end result? In that case, it would, most of the time, be a rectangle (or try to be).
For the 20% of the things you use 80% of the time (basic completion, goto definition, syntax highlighting), I'd say advanced LSP servers like rust-analyzer are pretty close to what IntelliJ provides.

But the heavy tail of 80% of the features which are used relatively rarely is very heavy. The biggest one there is the "change signature" refactor. LSP today can't really express that.
The Dynamic Upstreams feature looks good, but it doesn't seem to be as nicely integrated with Consul as Traefik is.
So, there is one notable way in which splits can have a practical impact on trading: options (and credit to Matt Levine for mentioning this recently). Options trading is still limited to blocks of 100. A split reduces the cost of those contracts.

I do wonder, with the relatively recent availability of fractional share ownership, if the effect of splits will be more muted in the future as retail is no longer limited to whole share purchases. But who knows, there's also a psychological aspect to this that's hard to account for.
The government wouldn’t prevent you from going to college, it just wouldn’t voluntarily pay for you to go if you didn’t test well. You could pay your own way, seek external scholarships, etc.

As of now we effectively underwrite anyone who wants to go, often at the expense of the student racking up debt for a useless degree and later the taxpayer who will inevitably have to subsidize them.

The performance work in Erlang at the moment is really exciting. It's easy to get sniffy about it and say the JVM/CLR/whatever has has JITing for years. True. But then performance has never been the Erlang standout: that would be concurrency and robustness.

The JIT is bringing BEAM languages up the rankings on performance. It may have a way to go to get to JVM level, and might not ever get there. But it's on a really encouraging trajectory.

And none of that compromises the concurrency and robustness story, where it still stands at the forefront of production-quality capability with a single, well-designed approach that's well-implemented and impressively scalable.

The care that has gone into Erlang's evolution (including the BEAM VM) is nicely illustrated by this para in the blog:

> The embedded type information is versioned so that we can continue to improve the type-based optimizations in every OTP release. The loader will ignore versions it does not recognize so that the module can still be loaded without the type-based optimizations.

I'm not claiming that's unique among VMs (don't know, probably not) but it does nicely illustrate diligence on the part of the core team.

With Elixir adding some sparkle as an alternative BEAM language, it's a great time to be part of the Erlang community. Chapeau to the core team and community.

Other responses have mentioned that this can print without support structures, though, that feature alone is not unique to this design.

Yeah we’re early on in really nailing the formula. Butts in seats staring at screens doing single player activities isn’t a particularly compelling education environment nor one children are accustomed to biologically. We need more embodied, social, psychologically safe, and intrinsically motivating learning environments, and I don’t think the enabling technologies and designs have yet emerged to fully satisfy these needs.

That said some of these programs have solid learning science foundations and good outcomes. Teachers roles necessarily change to ‘guide on the side’ and motivator, there’s a lot more there to go into but basically it’ll take time.

The term 'woke' has no meaning, depending on the context it's anything between "We should shame all white people for the crimes of their ancestors" to "We should make a movie with a female lead".
