Text from the CMF:

> "Since achieving a solid foundation in mathematics is more important for long-term success than rushing through courses with a superficial understanding, it would be desirable to consider how students who do not accelerate in eighth grade can reach higher level courses, potentially including Calculus, by twelfth grade. One possibility could involve reducing the repetition of content in high school, so that students do not need four courses before Calculus. Algebra 2 repeats a significant amount of the content of Algebra 1 and Pre-calculus repeats content from Algebra 2. While recognizing that some repetition of content has value, further analysis should be conducted to evaluate how high school course pathways may be redesigned to create a more streamlined three-year pathway to pre-calculus / calculus or statistics or data science, allowing students to take three years of middle school foundations and still reach advanced mathematics courses."

At face value, that suggests that the root problem is that students reaching middle school Algebra 1 aren't ready and need more remedial math instruction. As an Electrical Engineering professor, I can definitely attest to the fact that students reaching higher level classes with a precarious foundation are rarely as successful as those whose foundation is more solid. I suspect Scott would also agree that barely passing calculus in high school is not an adequate preparation for a career in data science. As a parent of a kindergartner and a second grader, I can also see that there is opportunity to push more math further down, but even at that age there are kids who have a huge variability in how they view their math.

With regard to resources, I thought this statement in the CMF was particularly insightful:

> “While early tracking of students into low-level courses has been problematic, there is evidence that thoughtful grouping of students to ensure they receive high-quality instruction geared to their needs at a moment in time can be helpful. This includes students who need to fill in gaps in their prior learning and high-achieving students who are ready to be more intensely challenged. It is also true that teaching heterogeneous classes requires greater skill for differentiating supports than teaching in classes where the range of performance may be narrower, and should be accompanied by high-quality professional development to enable success.”
ahh, stupid articles I waste my time on... But is it really waste if you enjoy it?

Is it? I thought long-term success rates were very low and that prevalence was increasing all over the globe.
I've talked to some high school students about going to college despite high costs, and there was a general fear (statistically backed) that they would make less over their lifetimes without a degree and that not going to college would put them in a worse position to do basic things like buy a house as costs continue to rise.
I don't know that this is normal. It's certainly not unheard of. In this case I just think it's such a huge acquisition that they probably just want to hold off until they get a clear vision from Elon. Why spend a bunch of time and money on something if Elon will come in and advocate for its exclusion from future features? Though I will say that I don't believe that Elon will have a tremendous amount of sway when it comes to drastic changes. I think it'll be a good year or two before we see substantial changes to Twitter as a platform.
Ultimately, if the app works then what's the problem with keeping it? Bits don't rot like grapes on the vine.

Damage isn’t a huge problem, watches tend to be pretty sturdy and mere scratches aren’t going to hurt resale value in most cases (unless you have them repaired!)

Theft on the other hand is a pretty big concern, I just had a 100k patek ripped off my wrist. I’m very lucky though, the local store manager was sympathetic and managed to help me skip the queue for a (slightly more desirable) replacement, effectively nullifying any financial damage.

Lesson learned, not walking around with uninsured watches no matter how nice the area is. Insurance premiums aren’t too bad though.
I imagine Twitter employees' RSUs are getting bought out as well and it would make sense to just stop issuing more RSUs.

Yeah, but compatibility is already defined as "what chrome does". To be clear I mean quirks, not features. You can easily make objective comparisons on "does feature exist in browser Y" so I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :D

But "compatibility" is things like layout quirks, and before Chrome was the IE of the web, "correct behavior" was "what IE does". A lot of the IE escape was engineering effort devoted to developing IE compatibility. A chrome monopoly is going mean google has functionally complete control of the web, so they can simply state that their behavior is the spec. On top of that they already regularly force the addition of google identity based spying directly into the browser.

Two voting days, a debate and a polling rule in France impacts the Internet
The problem is that it is easier to tout slogans and simplistic solutions than it is to conduct a sober analysis.

Economics considerations are important, you can't just gloss over them. For example, just the other day, my dad was telling me of someone he knew who spent £25k on a heat pump. It makes for great feels, and you get to go to bed at night with the warm fuzzies, but there is no discussion of things like payback period. One doesn't need to be a genius to understand the concept of payback period, but even this simple analysis is overlooked. And things like payback and Return On Investment are important to determining whether something is viable. And it's by no means clear in my mind that these costly solutions and all the materials they involve are actually better environmentally than existing solutions.

It's like when people propose something like hydroelectric schemes. From what I've been given to understand, these are proven to be viable. But whenever such a scheme is proposed, groups pop up saying that it will harm some ecosystem. Will it harm an ecosystem? Probably, yes. But every time anyone takes a dump their having a deleterious effect on the environment, so I am expecting a more nuanced argument than that.

My point is not that I am advocating for against hydroelectric schemes per se. My point is that "how dare you" doesn't lead to intelligent decision-making.
Romania is member of NATO.
So far you've only shown us anecdotal...
I believe the gist of the argument is that when you split students into 'normal' and 'advanced' classes at a young age, the students who are not put into the advanced classes will believe they are just naturally not good at math and will give up on trying to get better because they will think they just "don't have a math brain". Here is a short blurb about the idea:

> The framework would not forbid districts from accelerating students in middle school. It does, however, recommend that middle-school students all take the same sequence of “integrated” math classes that blend concepts from arithmetic, algebra and other subjects with the goal of cultivating a foundation and comfort level with numbers.

> On top of that, the framework recommends that schools postpone offering students Algebra 1 until 9th grade or later, when it says more students are likely to be able to master the material.

> “When kids struggle, they immediately say ‘I don’t have a math brain,’” Boaler said. “That changes how the brain operates.”

https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2021/11/cali...

I am sympathetic to the idea that we don't want to send the message that some kids are just bad at math, but it does seem to be a bit of throwing the baby out with the bathwater by holding back the other kids who are doing well. Even if you keep the advanced kids in the same class, the kids are are struggling are going to be well aware that some of the kids are getting it really quickly.
> Nexus

I have a second-hand Nexus 7 (repartitioned flo), probably the same as you, and I'm super happy with it thanks to Lineage OS. LineasOS 19 doesn't seem to be available for it though (yet?).

> Hard to figure a new tablet to buy that will get that same 10 year life, some custom rom development just vanishes over time. Popularity doesn't seem to be a guarantee.

If I would be buying a new tablet today, beside second hand (better for Earth, more guaranties to have a FOSS ROM running on it, and cheaper), I guess that I would go for open hardware like what Pine64 is doing: the community is dynamic, and I would not be surprised to see the device still updated in 10 years.

For phones, I guess that Fairphone is a very good option too: FOSS friendly, easily fixable, and minding about resources.
Digital Foundry did a write-up on it:

This has changed quite a bit recently so there is a before and an after. The before story is that they would be sold to slaughterhouses via intermediaries. Sometimes these slaughterhouses would be located out of state as slaughter is banned in certain states. Often the intermediaries would be from the Muslim community.

With religion motivated cow protection being one significant platform on which the ruling party ran and won the elections, this has changed dramatically. There are two axes at play here, (i) the religious symbolism of cow that is dear to the Hindu supremacist ruling party and the (ii) Islamophobia axes of the same party. Consequently the cow slaughter has been drastically reduced in the states they control, by a concerted effort of the state machinery and by the actions murderous lynch mobs whose violence the government is, naturally, blind towards.

Now this has created a reverse problem, especially Eastern Uttar Pradesh -- hordes of abandoned cattle that not only have been damaging crops but also has been killing people. This problem has risen to such a head that in the recent election campaigns the prime minister on his campaign tour in these regions promised magical solutions to this problem of stray cattle that would be revealed only after counting of the votes. To my knowledge no such reveal has happened, but scores of temporary and underfunded cattle shelters did crop up weeks prior to the election.

As irony would have it their political platform of Go-raksha (protection of the cow) has morphed in to election campaigns of Go-se-raksha (protection from the cows). Of course to lighten this absurdity, the stray cattle are not referred to with the "go" prefix because that has been coopted by the said party. So these are referred to as 'awara pashu' (rogue animals) or "chutta saand" (stray bulls).
It is a precursor to my PhD proposal. With massively overlapping vector shapes I want to analyze, making a "faux raster" index of boxes contained in the shapes seems a good approach.

Except that I wound up discovering an improvement for my immediate question that obviated all of the intermediate schema I'd build up.

In New Jersey and Massachusetts at least, there is absolutely no move to water down the math curriculum in any way. On the contrary, the schools here compete on how many AP courses are offered.
I have to imagine these countries are going to begin limiting or restricting this type of emigration as a nation's people is its biggest asset. Brain draining the world without reciprocity is the greatest foreign policy we've had.

The collection of the Bored Ape Yacht Club was hacked, and 91 non-fungible tokens (NFT) were stolen. The loot is thought to be worth roughly $3 million. To deceive investors, the attacker used Instagram’s 2-factor authentication to gain control of the project’s official account.
In context I meant get really good at addition/subtraction starting pre K and then multiplication once +/- is mastered.

Though empirically, I don't know about age 4 but kindergarten is definitely not too young for learning up to 12*12. And once you figure out multiplication and eventually mental division, it's not too big of a leap to have one variable algebra with "move a plus to the other side to become minus" etc. The formalism can come later but it's fantastic to have some exposure to moving numbers and symbols around from an early age.

I came into collecting modest watches around 2010. There was certainly a renewed interest in mechanical watches at the time, a lot of it being driven by things like MaleFashionAdvice on Reddit. I believe MFA had a significant hand in rescuing Seiko from obscurity with the SNK809 and SKX007. Old Seiko mechanical chronographs like the 6139 could be had readily for less than a thousand dollars. I had a beautifully restored one I bought and sold for around $300. The same watch is worth at least three times that today.

At that time, it was still possible to acquire steel Rolexes at "modest" prices. As a goal to celebrate my (future) career achievements, I set my sights on a birth year Submariner - which were attainable at the $3,500+ price points at that time.

You can't really buy a Submariner for less than $10k today. As mentioned in the article, Rolex dealers and others play crazy games where stainless models are virtually unobtanium. Even trickle down brands (Tudor, for example) have ridden the wave. I can no longer afford, nor do I want to afford, a birth year submariner. To me, the beauty in those watches is that they are tools; they were built to serve a purpose.

I ended up lucking into a Tudor Pelagos Left Hand Drive. The ultimate tool watch - light titanium, great lume, etc. I wear it. I wear it hard. It's been with me for dozens of life momentous events. When the watch craze passes, I hope I can pass it down to my kiddo as a reminder of my existence.
The Biden administration wants private companies to censor online speech
Before I got into writing novels I had a small publishing business centered around books for magicians. I started this when James Randi off-hand mentioned to me that every magic book sold at least 300 copies because there were that many diehard collectors out there who bought everything.

I figured that if my break even was at or below 300 units I could put out two or so titles a year and not worry about going into debt. At the time a $40 book earned about $16 wholesale. Cost of printing was ~$3. I’d usually sell 200 copies directly ($7,400) and another 500 to wholesalers ($6,500.)

It averaged out to about $15,000 per book a year….but then the books kept selling year after year. Some made me over $250,000 in a ten year period. I hadn’t factored in for the long tail - which made it even more lucrative.

There are much better opportunities than publishing, but there’s some money to be made if you understand the actual addressable audience and have a passion for it.
From my understanding, they revisit this framework every 8 years. California is doing poorly in 8th grade math scores, so I think they want to make changes to improve that.

It's a MS Word document. How am I supposed to find lines 1226-1239? They might want to actually quote it.
Yes, but if you do sort students by academic achievement, you will send a smaller fraction of blacks and Hispanics to academic high schools than whites, and a smaller fraction of whites than Asians, since there are differences in academic achievement by race. I say so be it, but currently many people assume that disparate outcomes prove racism.
> What is the unifying principle?

I know it sounds self-referential, but the unifying principle(s) could be liberty, equality, and fraternity.

In other words, you exhibit fraternity by supporting your fellow citizens as they work with you towards expanding and defending those shared values.

What that means in practice depends on your skills and interests, but it could for example mean serving alongside citizens of different ethnicities in a non-segregated army (or military alliance), or hiring employees of a different religion in a non-discriminating business.
When the utopian plans to elevate the masses fail, just bring down the elites instead. Equality achieved.

What is wokeness in this instance?
If you want to teach people methods to solve equations, limits, integrals etc. speed with basic algebraic operations is necessary.

Facility with those methods is then necessary to be able to adequately follow important proofs and gain understanding of more advanced concepts.

I don't know how you would teach people important results in their fields (physics, computer science etc., I'm not talking about actual mathematicians) without those skills.

Caddy at its simplest form is an HTTP server. So you could use it to front end your application that otherwise isn't well suited for taking direct HTTP requests. Caddy would bring you other features like TLS support.

However I think in K8s world Caddy would make the most sense as an Ingress Controller. There is even a project as such: https://github.com/caddyserver/ingress

All traffic would terminate first at Caddy. Handling TLS, HTTP1/2/3, etc. Then passing it back to your application service/pod.
Agree. I think getting really good at addition subtraction and multiplication and then division/fractions is the way to go though. Have really strong math fundamentals and then learn algebra and then everything else is far easier to pick up.
Windows Hello is more than just a webcam, the IR spectrum is a lot harder to fake (compared to, say, facial recognition in many Android phones). You'll need a picture taken with an IR camera, programmed into fake webcam hardware, to bypass it. Still far from perfect, but not as trivial to bypass as people seem to think.

That said, the traditional fingerprint readers are more secure and just as easy to use. I don't understand why Apple shifted focus for mobile security onto facial recognition, especially with the development of under-screen fingerprint scanners in smartphones.

Some would say nobody is "truly different" in any way that really matters. We all want food, clothing, shelter, and beyond that, differences don't matter much.
Declining math scores can be tied almost entirely tied to economic disparity (which unfortunately tracks with race pretty closely). Rich kids are on track, poor kids are far behind.

Unfortunately I don't expect these changes to impact that. It will likely take more rich kids out of public schools and further widen the gap.
What is your explanation for Russia invading Ukraine?

As far as I can tell, it's a war for glory or destiny or power or something. Not food or shelter or school.
Sounds like more woke nonsense. Sounds nice and easy to a layman from a super high level but not practical or put through any kind of rigorous rational thought.
That there is a big smuggling racket shows that the laws are not in accordance with the demand and supply. The smuggling market exists because of them
Classic whataboutism entirely deflecting the question. Yes, US did not handle Cuba correctly 60 (!!) years ago. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are dying today and could be stopped by Russia immediately, but they don’t. I guess if every country can be overly paranoid about their neighbors, when Russia built up troops on its border, it’s within Finland’s, Estonia’s, Lithuania’s, Latvia’s, and Ukraine’s right to just start shelling Russia right? Because the Russian buildup “could” be a threat?
It is genuinly too soon.
Is this something to worry about yet?

This isn't a private company policy - this is the White House.

Is it amazing that the administration would even consider this? Isn't there a constitutional right to free speech?

Who can judge 'misinformation' anyway? Has the government (or anyone) never made a mistake?
What's the point of teaching kids to memorize something that they can't apply? When I was a kid, schools taught multiplication tables in 2nd grade, when most kids are 7 years old. The difference in cognition between a 4 year old and 7 year old is insane.

I'd be surprised if there were any countries where multiplication was formally taught to pre-K students as part of the standard curriculum, but i'd love to be proven wrong.
