I think it's obvious that the digital teaching methods we employed were not effective, but there was no information available at all about what worked. Also: we tried many different things. Certainly I did!

Moreover (as I replied to a different comment above) even after a year of being online the students were unable to identify things that made any of their online classes work. At that point they had resigned to their classes sucking. (Not just my class - I asked my students to tell me what worked in any of their online classes. Collectively that's asking about the teaching methods of a few hundred professors.)

If you have information about some methods which work, I would have loved to have them. I would still love to have them! (If you can provide some evidence about whether and how they are known to work that would be better still.)
That's not what legal tender means. Legal tender is something which must be accepted for settlement of _debts_. For instance, in the UK, any coin with a face value of one pound or more is legal tender in unlimited amount, but no-one is going to allow you to buy a car with a big bag of pound coins.
Granmda knew what it meant. She'd been looking up names in the phonebook here whole life, mapping them to numbers.

So to answer

0. Insurance won't cover it, so they don't get it ($), or

4. Insurance won't cover it, which is a signal it isn't an evidence-based intervention, so they don't get it.
I'd say that in most sports injury management is an important part of running a team or an athlete's career.

For instance in the NFL you see a few players get sidelined in every game, sometimes they are feeling better and are back in the game a few minutes later, but as you get to the end of the season the roster gets thinner and thinner.

A team that starts out strong at the beginning of the season can get badly battered by the end of the season and end up playing poorly overall and (particularly) losing in the playoffs. In every play they have to ask "is it worth getting hurt?" and if the play is unlikely to change the outcome of the game they are likely to "take a knee" or otherwise play to avoid injury instead of trying to win.
> I'm really asking if there is a precedence for someone trying to sue big company for damages caused by their refusal to not mark legit emails as spam.

No. Email is an altruistic delivery system per the RFC. You have no right to have your email delivered at all, let alone a right to have it marked as not spam. You should assume your email is still triggering the undesired spam label because of your configuration, content, or delivery approach and try to resolve that.

> If you think a high-achieving student won't get a good education in an curriculum where they are 'dragged down' by the low-level course... Why on earth do you think that a non-high-achieving student isn't going to get 'dragged down' by being pigeonholed into the low-level course?

Why do you assume it is a zero sum game? We can have high level math courses and improve the quality of lower level ones (if you think they are problem). Or if you are saying that students shouldn't be forced into lower levels just because they aren't getting good grades, then yeah sure, let people join high level courses based on passion and not achievement. I think that's an entirely separate debate though.
I’ve never did anything serious with Common Lisp, but my light experience on it was that

- the idea that almost all language constructs are user-implementable with macros is quite impressive (but I don’t buy the argument that “real” macros are only able in s-exprs)

- and the REPL-driven development model was a really beautiful and seamless experience.

But… every time I try to use it on some code, I find too many warts and inconsistencies that I just didn’t want to spend too much effort in making it work. It’s a beautiful language in it’s own ways, but the other parts are too ugly (to me, of course).

I’m fine with it being a lisp or not; I just want a clean language with macros baked in (and becomes the basis of most language features), and with a REPL-driven development model as a first class citizen (with interactive restarts and all).

Unfortunately it seems a pipe dream… so I’m stuck here.

I think you omitted a word there: one should not feel badly about writing a state-mutating LOOP. That's okay, and often the best solution to a problem.

How much money would be saved if we didn’t fetishize owning a bunch of stuff that idly costs more money? How much electricity, since that matters in real terms to me more than your finances.
Long lived hifi equipment can be a huge offender, plenty of stuff still around from the decades between broad introduction of remote controls (before that, they were usually hard off) and broad introduction of switching PSU which aren't quite as bad as transformers (but early and/or cheap can certainly be bad as well)

But I think "everyone" already knows that standby devices are a convenience that one should strive to avoid, the current fight is between people who insist on unplugging the USB charger vs those who refuse to do so. On this battleground, I think I see a strong case of perfect as enemy of the good: "refusers" are likely to react to pressure by ignoring the issue completely and might easily miss out on meaningful low hanging fruit.

They are trying to slow down the "right to repair" laws that are being drafted in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. They would rather implement it and be able to set the parameters of it, rather than be forced to follow a government mandated and controlled version.
Insurance doesn't cover adult orthodontia either but that doesn't mean it's not evidence-based (just elective). And a laser-based cleaning technique sounds pretty elective.
Sports teams don’t really work that way.

They provide the facilities and a prescriptive plan to get the team where they need to be game ready. Drills, strategy and ensuring everyone is operating as a team on the field.

Tuning their body is the responsibility of the player. The teams aren’t sending them a list of what to eat, how to train or what exercises to do. That’s on the athlete.

Of course they do have specialists to help if the players needs but it’s not “total control for performance”
In my experience this is on purpose by third party Apple sellers, to avoid any confusion about them being Apple. It's also definitely not a marketing-driven website, but rather a website that aims to be easy to navigate, lightweight and effective.

It is unbelievable how much my faith in the necessity of dental procedures has risen after I started going to see a dentist that was my friend first, and my dentist only later (after I got tired of constantly wondering if the others actually had my best interests at heart).

I never doubted the dentist I had during my youth, and as far as I know he’s actually just really good at his job, so it was kind of a shock to find that so many of them are just winging it.
Maybe things have changed over the years. I've played around with Hy in 2017 and in the end felt like it combines the bad parts of Python with the bad parts of a Lisp.

If you're forced to use Python it's usually because of one of 2 reasons: Either you need to work with colleagues on something (in which case almost certainly they wouldn't accept a lispified version of it) or because you need some of the libraries that are already implemented.

In the latter case, you might say Hy is a good option. But why bind yourself to the slowness of Python when you could just as well use some fast Lisp (e.g. Common Lisp) that interacts with a Python interpreter similar to nimpy [0] from Nim? Not sure if such a thing already exists for CL, but it should be quite feasible to write and then you get access to all your Python library needs while actually using a better language for the rest of your code.

But I'm all ears on the real advantages Hy provides aside from being neat.

This is 100% true. While attending an NLP

My ASRock B450 Pro4 draws about 3W from the wall if WOL is enabled, which in ASRock's firmware seems to keep all PCI devices (and attached USB devices) powered. 30W seems impossible though, anything not specifically designed to be fanless will almost certainly need to turn on the fan at that power usage (and even fanless might have difficulty dissipating a constant 30W).
Yes it's huge, but not out of the question for some people who go all in on some things in their house.

For example, in my place right now:

- Unifi rack (some switches, cameras, other PoE stuff) - 335W
- Servers (home automation, NAS, etc) - 426W

That's all the time, Unifi actually goes up at night when the IR LEDs come on in the cameras.
Yeah, I have no idea how it works. The docs talk about "container templating"-- what?
You experience is similar to mine. It goes even further than that, though. I have seen the relief in a specialists eyes when I present them with research and tell them the decision that they should make for me. I am essentially designing my own treatment and care plans. I am not a medical professional, nor have I any training, either.

The United States' healthcare system is fundamentally broken. As it stands, it's probably completely irreparable, as well.
You must have read "The Hunt for Red October".

I'm told by ex-(Submarine Commander)s and ex-submariners that it's surprisingly accurate, and one even said that it's used in training. If you read it carefully enough you can plot the positions of the boats throughout.

Definitely better than the film, although the film is excellent.
DuckDB is one of my favourite projects of late.

> but is it possible we are in some ways measuring the wrong things?

No disagreement, but we were measuring the same things pre- and post-pandemic. The negative effect on those measured outcomes is very real.

It is possible that if we were measuring the "right things" (whatever those are) we might see no effect. A priori that's a little implausible IMO but I'm willing to entertain the argument!

> In a modern age, “remembering information” or “doing homework” don’t seem so applicable to the future.

Strong disagree on "remembering information is not applicable to the future." I partially concede on "doing homework", but honestly there is no other way to make the students attempt to apply the material they learn, and no way for them to understand what they don't understand except by attempting to apply it!

Homework might suck, but there is a good reason everyone uses it!
There are considerable losses on the power delivery side.

The appliances don't have very efficient power supplies that convert the input voltage (e.g. 230V or 120V) down to the single digit voltages used by the clocks and LEDs. It's simply not a concern for devices that usually consume power in the kW range when operating.

The simplest way to save power is to literally just pull the plug after use. It's not even much of an inconvenience either if the plug is reasonably close to the appliance.
There are a couple of other free options I'm aware of.

* FusionAuth has a community edition which is free as long as you host it yourself and comply with the license ( https://fusionauth.io/license-faq#3 ). Free as in beer, at least. (Full disclosure, I work for FusionAuth.) Here's our SSO guide: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/guides/single-sign-on

* If you want a SaaS solution, Cognito is an option, as is Azure AD B2C. They have good free tiers, as long as you don't want SAML integration (for Cognito, you're charged after 50 users).

* If you want to run your own, you could conceivably cobble something together on whatever tech stack you run. Ruby on rails, java/spring, django/python all have libraries which can be used to build OIDC servers. Then it's a question of setting up the sessions correctly. Here's an example I found via googling: https://tushartuteja.medium.com/a-simple-single-sign-on-sso-...

* As the parent comment mentioned, Keycloak is an option as well.
Sometimes they're alright but the new feature where if you open one ten more appear is annoying.
The best form of data is usage and third party data, since self-reported, first-hand data can be dirty, chocked full of biases and subjected to opinions.
Connected devices are only just beginning to take over and we will see more of them in our spaces - from owned and rented properties to co-living and co-working properties. Excited to see where Kraftful will go!
I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
Thanks for responding! I'm not quite sure I follow what the value proposition (over a generic analytics solution) would be then if the SDK doesn't know how to automatically detect the 'interesting' events and I'd have to add them manually, unless I'm missing something? Why is 'figuring out how to' track IoT specific events tricky? And why would 'your documentation' be enough of a differentiator? It seems like the important events would largely be based on various APIs provided Android/iOS, no?

I guess, I'm not really understanding how kraftful would save users time. And those other product analytic services have tons of integrations, AND they could also use those solutions for their landing pages / logged in web experience too. Imagine creating a 'funnel' like

Home screen (referrer=HN) -> product purchased -> app installed -> device connected

where the funnel tracks the funnel of users from HN all the way down to device connection. Does that make sense?

I realize that my concerns are a little pessimistic, sorry about that! I do think that there's something there, but I'm not quite sure I understand the overall value prop. I also noticed your site has something like a no-code 'white label' mobile app product for IOT device manufacturers, that seems really interesting! how does that tie in with the analytics piece?
It goes the other way too. If you have anything but the most common illnesses or conditions that you are likely more knowledgeable about your situation than your PCP since they're the tier 1 help desk of medicine. This kind of thing is totally fine and expected, it's why specialists exist but it's really frustrating because your PCP is often treated as a either a gatekeeper or unnecessary busywork to get to the more qualified person.
This doesn't contradict anything I said, unless you're under the impression that broad suffrage is a free pass to invade and conquer any nation with less-broad suffrage.

And despite these rules my Sony TV (KD-65XG9505) bought in 2019 uses 20 to 30 watts in standby. Only disabling the internal Wi-Fi and restarting it gets this down to about 1 watt.

Neat, but it is a huge security issue to mount your Docker socket into a container, essentially giving it full access to all your containers. Shouldn't this be limited to bare API permissions as opposed to full access?

The Zed Project: a new approach to data

I’m quite critical about Google declining search quality but in this case I think pointing the finger at them is clickbait. The fact is that the dentists have “flooded the zone with shit” and google hasn’t much to work with.

I would appreciate if google could elevate more “google scholar” results and also have a zone of clearly marked “likely low quality matches” but apart from the howls of outrage from the bullshitters, this would be very hard.

Also note at the end the author pitches their alternative.

BTW the laser is a capital investment (or lease) for the provider so the laser manufacturers are always coming up with new ways to use the device and sending them to their customers (mainly dermatologists and dentists — people outside the managed care, and often insurance, infrastructures). These suggestions are typically worded in a way that doesn’t get them in trouble with the FDA.

So even if a dermatologist buys a laser to remove birthmarks, most of the time it will just sit unused in the corner of the room. So they add tattoo removal. Next thing you know it’s a cosmetic liposuction alternative for the area around your mouth.
That is just an overall terrible outlook for the UN, how can this be the common denominator for nations? It seems that it becomes the personal outlet for some people.
When Node first came out, all of the hype around it was using the same language on the client and the server OR at least managing all of your frontend bits in a language independent of your server side language.

At the time, there were JS/CSS/image minifiers in just about every language IIRC. Doing it with Node was a stronger argument to at least save the frontend side of the house from having to find a way to do them with Java or ASP.

During that time period, Java compile times were so slow that using PHP as a frontend that spoke to Java backends with SOAP services was really, really common just to avoid slowing everything on the frontend down with Java.
