BC Calculus is the advanced version of AP calculus, not "one step above". Ideally people are moved into AB or BC Calculus based on skill level, but only take one AP course.
I mean the mindset as “crucial to your self esteem to believe your work is a net good for society”

Because ‘net good’ is debatable, your beliefs will clash with others who think it is not a ‘net good’ regardless of the work.

E.g. people involved with sugar production have probably caused more integrated harm than those making missiles. This is especially true as obesity passes 50% of the population.

I instinctively felt that the ambiguity ought to not truly exist, but I wanted to find some backing. According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

> Not sure what kind of a reality you live in

This sounds like a neckbeard fantasy of what an 'intellectual' childhood is like. In reality, I doubt any child has been raised that way since John Stuart Mill, and he was suicidal by 20.

Fwiw, I went to a school whose students, well- if anyone in the world were raised as described by that commenter, those would be the people. I can say without a doubt that the kids whose parents were even approaching that kind of attitude are the ones who grew up more depressed, and no more accomplished.

(My underlying point is that, needless hopefully to say, no one has ever grown up without idle entertainment. Well, short of cavemen, maybe. This whole "take previous generations'/societies' high culture and assume it's what everyone did day in day out" is one of the most irritating of the neckbeard tropes, in a strong field of competitors.)

> but do all students need to take calculus in high school?

Imho, 50% or more of students don’t even need to take algebra.

For that matter, that same number pretty much don’t even need to go to high school (although some sort of voluntary coop with practical skills training might be better than current high school or nothing).

HS is glorified baby sitting for most students. It sometimes is useful for people who want to go to “competitive” schools or enter stem fields in slightly less competitive schools.

As for your solution, learning math starting at algebra or pre-calc in a CC is fine if that is what the person needs for their chosen career path. I think the general idea is that the lack of calculus in high schools prunes the career path tree fairly aggressively in some relatively well-paid fields (esp. STEM).

Rich and wealthy have slightly different meanings. One common usage is the level of money. Chris Rock had a joke that "[Professional Athlete] is rich. The guy who signs his checks [and thus owns the team] is wealthy." Sorry to ruin the joke with additional text, but I'm erroring on the side of clarity.

The other main usage would be that "rich" describes how you can spend your money on possessions. "Wealthy" describes the degree to which your assets are generating income. So someone who makes a large sum of money a year might be rich (they own a Lamborghini and a house, and take fancy vacations) or wealthy (they have all that money in stocks and can retire tomorrow.) With this usage, wealthy people are often also rich.
If the split was around 55/45 or even 70/30 or even 80/20, you might just reasonably chalk it up to it being a blue area. But the 99% figure doesn't make a lick of sense to me as an explanation. I bet you can't even get 99% of Americans to agree that water is wet, let alone agree on politics. I would look for a deeper explanation if the data says that somewhere in the range of 99% of a large group of Americans agree on anything.

My theory might be incorrect, but seems far more likely to me when you take into account human motivations.

Elon Conquers the Twitterverse

There is, however, an argument that the longer it takes to produce a result from an election, the less confidence people have in the result, either because they lose the cause-and-effect feeling between going to the polling station and learning the result, or because bad actors deliberately try to undermine the process by filling social media with false narratives (and encouraging intimidation of poll workers) while the count goes on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the result should be announced immediately, using electronic counting (and definitely not online voting), but 13 counts and then 10 days of recounts for a single district (Dublin South-Central[0] in 1992) is hard to justify, and I think that the voting system makes the process slower/more expensive and more error-prone. For comparison, apparently the most recounts for a UK general election seat was seven.[1]

Also, I believe that IRV/STV/RCV doesn't support the summability criterion[2], which leads to more centralisation of the vote counting process.

> that complex systems implemented in low-level languages cannot avoid reinventing and/or reimplementing (poorly on both counts) the facilities built into higher-level languages. Like garbage collection in OLE or keyword arguments in X."

Nope. Not true at all. Games for example implement “garbage collection” all the time but it is not the garbage collection typically used in “higher-level” languages. It is instead carefully tailored to the task at hand to achieve the kind of performance players expect from games. This is something you can not do in most “higher-level” languages. Which is the reason why most high performance complex software is not written in “higher-level” languages.

So there is a reason why smart experienced developers start new complex high-performance projects in C/C++ every day. They simply use the best tool for the job.
I agree that misuse of the term is a concern, but it's of far lesser concern than of people's lives being ruined (often without justification) by mobs.

Cancel culture is a real thing. It's a new thing enabled by the structure of the systems we've only just created. I think a label is justified (even if this one kind of sucks). And of course concept creep will find this label weaponized almost as soon as it's been created.

That's kind of the era we live in: bad faith abuse of language by the extremists on all sides.
Dude. Below 5L its 87a tax relief. No taxes due.
To take on another language solution, here's an obvious one, albeit in a lisp (Clojure):

(defn fizzbuzz-nth* [n]
(cond
(zero? (mod n 15)) "FizzBuzz"
(zero? (mod n 3)) "Fizz"
(zero? (mod n 5)) "Buzz"
:else (str n)))

(defn fizzbuzz* [n]
(->> (range 1 (inc n))
(map fizzbuzz-nth*)
(interpose " ")
(apply str)))

(defmacro fizzbuzz [n]
`(println ~(fizzbuzz* n)))

(println "macroexpansion: ")
(println (macroexpand '(fizzbuzz 100)))
(println)
(println "invoke the macro: ")
(fizzbuzz 100)

Compile-time programming isn't any different than runtime programming in a lisp. This is nice because we can write the business parts as regular code, which is easy to try out in the repl or write tests for and then wrap it in a macro for compile-time evaluation if that's what the situation calls for.

For those not versed in lisp, `fizzbuzz-nth` and `fizzbuzz` are regular functions and `fizzbuzz` is a macro (aka a function annotated to be executed at compile time). The `fizzbuzz` macro makes use of Clojure's `syntax-quote` (the backtick) to signify templating is going on and `unquote` (the tilde) to escape the templating and execute some code at macro expansion time.

It's a real shame most languages don't have these metaprogramming facilities as judicious use makes weird, hard, and untestable stuff into common, easy, and another boring part of the test suite.

I'm really pulling for C++ to eventually get here with templates, particularly now that vectors can be constexpr and the result of templates. Maybe c++26 will finally give us reasonable macro facilities in a mainstream language.

My daily would be the ROLEX rose gold SARU full diamond bracelet and dial. Like collecting keyboards, once you find your end game, you really don't want to go back to anything else much. So thought I've got 26 watches or so, I really only want to wear the best of them usually. I veer from that if I'm wearing a unique color clothes, like leopard print or green, then I might switch to one of those watches. So the answer I guess is mostly storage. I embrace the idea that owning things should be fun, so wearing them is totally in the game. That being said, I don't actually use them to tell time, so I don't bother winding them anymore, they're just jewelry to me, and sometimes I'll wear one on each arm. This makes watch enthusiasts very angry. I strip away the complexity and show that it's really all just flexing, and our phones all do a better job telling time :)

It was a little sooner, but the first stable French Republic was created after losing the war against Prussia in 1870. Curiously, royalists had the majority in the first parliament but didn't manage to agree on a king, they lose the next election and then monarchists rapidly disappeared from France politics. So 3 revolutions (1789/1830/1848) fail to create a republic but losing a war manage to do it.

The Music Business Turns into Groundhog Day
> Predicting the next draw from a deck of cards is subject to "out of context" model violations the same way that any other prediction over future world states is.

The observation that the uncertainty is only present in the observer is certainly true in the card context, but really questionable in the world states one. For one, don't we need to assume a really aggressive "deterministic evolution of future world states" to argue this uncertainty is only present in the observer? I, for one, am totally uncomfortable with this assumption...

Also, there's a clear computational difference between these two settings. You kind of point this out by acknowledging that explicit Bayesian calculation are unreasonable in many settings - but in practice, I'm on a rationalist email thread where folks are trying to calculate explicit probabilities about the increased likelihood of nuclear war over the past 6 months. It's totally silly.

We need to look at the actual way that Bayesian tools are actually used (and usable in practice) by it's adherents. As far as I've observed, it's mostly just silly signaling games where people make up numbers to justify whatever story they want to tell (given that the rationalist communities spend so much time worrying about confirmation bias as a fundamental one, I'm not sure this is even surprising).

Also, superforcasters are most certainly not "proof that explicit Bayesian calculations are still extremely useful." There are literally _millions_ of experts who make prediction - there's no version of history where this isn't a random subset who performs dramatically better than average just due to statistical chance! Misunderstanding this as a proof of the usefulness of the probabilistic reasoning tool is the classic example of being fooled by randomness.
Another electric Ford pickup truck is coming, Farley says
You've misunderstood my post. I'm not arguing that needing to understand statistics is the same as needing to be able to read and write; I was responding to a post that was arguing that teaching stats without the underpinnings of calculus is like a society that is barely literate.

> Statistics is more complicated philosophically and computationally, as you do in fact need calculus to do statistics

This is just fundamentally false, as there are many statistical concepts and introductory statistics courses (given at some of the most renowned universities in the world) that can be taught without an underpinning of calculus. It's like arguing that you can't teach a programming class until someone understands digital logic design.
