> AOSP is free-software.

There is no phone in the world which can run AOSP without proprietary software, at least drivers. (Well, technically, Pinehone and Librem 5 could do it, but it's not ported yet.) F-Droid is great, but it's running on top of a proprietary OS. It's probably a step in the right direction, but you can't just say "AOSP is FLOSS".

> The amount of people that could be interested in using /e/OS with F-Droid is orders of magnitude higher than the amount of people interested in tinkering with "Pure FOSS, GNU/Linux".

Every single change in the society starts like this. I don't see anything wrong or unexpected here. It doesn't mean that one should not promote the change. To me it even proves my point, because more technical people will get interested first anyway.

> The original comment I responded to was complaining about how the Google/Apple duopoly leads to a "pick your poison" situation and the user hostility. My recommendation was to into Google-free Android distros that can be used and do not require big compromises in terms of usability.

In this way you are still supporting Google with your money, it's not the best solution to the problem. Yes, the compromises are smaller and I did not disagree with it. I just noted in my original comment that anything Google-related will inevitably become e-waste, even if you use "AOSP" on it.

> Your interjection came off as one that could provide the same level of usability

You are probably right, and I could add a disclaimer that GNU/Linux phones can't do everything yet and are less reliable. But I don't see how those things were implied.
I laughed when I read this headline. Twitter hasn't made any real product updates in years.
I agree on enforcement.

What made this unique is that very early on there was relatively high profile interest from folks (DeSantis) who I'm guessing might try to make a point (they seem to be working towards a national profile vs just FL local). There is a naivete here that AG's offices are impartial in enforcement, they are often highly highly selective in enforcement efforts.

Securities litigation (broadly) has been going pretty strongly.

The parent comment I was engaging with had a substantive comment citing case law in this issue that at the time I commented was voted down.

Your article is also interesting.

My point was that this was trending towards a litmus test type political issue.

Elon was offering to let shareholders vote on the plan. Board was doing a) a poison pill, b) had a staggered board term setup, c) had the founder criticizing them, d) had some bumpy history and e) were faced with wading into an ugly political fight with poor optics given his offer.

So my own personal view is that Elon came with a surprising amount of leverage. What folks don't realize is that doing $43B deal at this speed is unusual.
Sounds like there is definitely not a freeze in product updates as there are many reports of increase in conservative activity and decrease in liberal activity:

> the very rational fear that large swaths of the student population will fail if expected to perform at the prior standards of rigor.

Why is this a rational fear? It seems shocking to me that students can't perform at the same prior standards given their parents are more educated than the prior generation's parents.

I would say that there are people trying to live this very philosophy already, and we can see what actions it has resulted in practically in the real world.

For example, Twitter is absolutely staffed and run by people who I believe would wholeheartedly agree with the posted quote. What types of rules regarding intolerance does their platform employ?

One example of something it has banned is The Babylon Bee, for this piece of satire calling Rachel Levine the Man of the Year: https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bees-man-of-the-year...

Now you tell me, is that intolerance? Is it speech that should be censored? Is removing this type of satire something that you believe is philosophically aligned with the original quote?

Meanwhile, Twitter still allows members of the Taliban to post. Do you think they're more, or less tolerant than the Babylon Bee?

"Intolerance" is such a fuzzy concept. Intolerance of what? You can propose any crazy idea and when people disagree with it, say they're being intolerant.

If I don't want my young children to go to schools that are staffed by ex sex-offenders, on the basis that employing them in that role is a great example of how people can be re-introduced into society and embraced empathetically, am I "intolerant" of something? If I voice that opinion on social media, should it be removed? It's not a real example right now, but that's the direction we're headed in.
This is a one week ban, which ends at the end of this week. I don't think the headline is clickbait per se, but people aren't reading the article. dang, any chance of getting the title updated to say "one week" instead of "Temporary"?
Maybe I am missing something, but how would allowing some kids to take more advanced math cause other kids to fail? You could allow kids to graduate without taking the advanced math, but still let kids who want to/are ready take the more advanced classes.

Maybe the programmers would be better off using a dangerous language and blowing their legs off a couple of times. This cult-of-the-compiler mentality is starting to become tiresome. It’s not very good for productivity either.
The approach makes sense. How are claims of bias within the process handled? That’s the only thing I can imagine from a similar system here.
Science classes should be reserved for teaching scientific things. I think you, I and Krauss would all agree on that much. I wish it were uncontroversial, but evidently it isn't.

However Krauss seems to goes further. If knowledge is asserted to only come from scientific means, and if the purpose of schooling is to impart knowledge, that seems to leave little room for classes which don't purport to be science classes in the first place.

You could presumably make room for these classes through twisted logic along the lines of "Actually English Literature is science because we're making empirical observations about the words written on this paper...", but I don't think there is much real utility in this line of reasoning. It's much simpler to simply accept there are some subjects that have value yet aren't science.

But no, fairly obvious to me that it's not their purpose. This story just smacks of libertarian-brainworm-addled, late-stage capitalism. I know cynicism rarely helps, but I can't help but despise this MBA-run, super-short-term-profits-over-everything-else way of running businesses. Also might be that's why I don't run a business.
“… On month 3 of Akhet, days 21-4, it seems that Pennub was off work because he was looking after the ill Aapehti.

It's grim/worse in the UK:

- Median individual income: £31,000 (£598/week[0]) - $40K USD

- Average house asking price £360,000 [1] - $450K USD

- For a couple both on a dual median income that means the national average house price is 5.8x typical household income.

- Banks aren't allowed to offer mortgages of more than 4.5x income to more than 85% of their clients, which means such a couple are tasked at finding 1.3x their joint income (£80K or $100K USD) to get started

- Affordability isn't bad if you can cobble together the equity/deposit. An 85% LTV mortgage on a 5 year fix is around ~2.4% right now, so a £360K average home will have a mortgage of ~£1,200/mo ($1,500/mo USD, which is around 30% of such a couples take home pay).

- The bad news is interest rates are currently rising, at the same time as house prices, and the cost of living

- Worse news is if this fictional couple want kids they're likely going down to a single income, which puts it out of reach completely.

I've been a fan of budget Seiko mechanical watches from the 60's and 70's. Most of the time they run well, servicing isn't terribly expensive, and you can get them for usually a few hundred dollars, maybe a grand for a really nice specimen. What's cool about them is you can decipher the serial number [0] to the month and year they were made, so they can commemorate an event, even if it happened a long time ago. But you do have to watch out for counterfeits. [1]

I used to be into locksport, and particularly high-end locks. A word of warning: A friend of mine once put a high-end $400 padlock on his storage unit when he stored his college stuff over the summer. It is the only storage unit in that facility that was ever broken into. A thief saw the lock, thought they must be hiding something good, and came back with a crowbar to lever the door open. Nothing was stolen but I think they were expecting a huge drug stash.
Sure we can talk about mythicism and religion in religion class or maybe philosophy class, but keep them out of science classes, because they certainly are not science. And it is not arrogance to say that religion is not an equivalent system for explaining the world.
How crazy unprofessional you have to be to do harm to your company because you don’t like the new owner? It totally blews my mind that people can be so childish.

If you don’t like your employer, change job or organize and change rules. But you should work for your company best interest while you’re there. Only then it makes sense to work there at all.

The unstated irony is that there’s a large overlap in the anti-immigration and re-industrialization crowd.

I think an interesting part of 20th century American industrial/scientific history is that many of the prominent figures were European immigrants (many Jewish) or children of immigrants.

Maybe there is something exceptional about the environment itself. But the talented and privileged native citizens rarely aspire to be an innovator; they dream of being a leader or strategic thinker or mover of capital.

That’s why I think hard math is so marginalized even in elite circles (“I’ve never been good at math”). Technical work is essentially blue collar to the upper middle class. Many of my peers are in this group, and the only time they were ever interested in math or programming, was due to its possibility as a conduit to a more prestigious position.

This attitude is directly ingrained in undergrad institutions. They focus on general knowledge to serve as a justification to skip over front line work to become a leader (military officer, factory manager, investment banker).

There are excellent American technicians no doubt but most of them don’t fit the typical WASP mold or are predisposed to obsessing over systemic topics (which describes myself, being ADHD, although I can only strive to be excellent).

And the upper class? They have never aspired to much of anything really other than hedonism and protecting their position of status. At least in other countries, the upper class ideal is a renaissance man.

Edit: some of these assertions are sweeping and maybe a little mean. But I do think the thesis is directionally correct. America will need to change the culture around education to succeed in the 21st century. Immigration has and will continue to be a boon; but we have to accept the possibility that America could become a less desirable immigration target

At least here you can just go to the school that you want. People that don't like math or the idea of studying dead languages do not pick the lyceums.

Obviously indirect social stratification is still at work in the process.
Isn't that faster than existing machines?

Even if Boring Co actually builds such machines (and given Elon's history of grandious unmet claims that's very unlikely), no. Utility-size TBMs on the market can already bore faster than the P2 hypothetically would.

The delay in tunnel boring isn't the TBM machines; it's in the other stuff like the undisclosed power lines and other utilities that the TBM will run into while boring and which must be painstakingly rerouted, or the things above the tunnel that must be accounted for. For example, LA's "regional connector" transit project has been delayed for almost 5 years because they ran into hundreds of undisclosed utility lines and pipes while digging and had to spend years rerouting those utilities before they could continue digging. Boston's Big Dig was delayed because they had to build underground bridges while tunneling to support the weight of ongoing activities above the dig, like existing rail, highways, and subways.

Note that both of the examples above are transit-size tunnels, but the issues LA Metro ran into would still apply to Boring Co's much smaller tunnels.

Really, the biggest problem with Boring Co's tunnels is that they're basically useless boondoggles: as the Vegas tunnel demonstrates, they simply don't have the capacity to handle meaningful amounts of traffic.
It's possible this is a good thing. Though it's also possible sorting too early determines someone's life path before they are mature to understand their talents and abilities. So I don't think early sorting is superior to the American model because at least the American model can uplift late bloomers.

Yes it does. They ship userdebug builds as production releases, pretend to support devices past their vendor EOL (which is impossible since Lineage can't provide security updates for firmware etc.), ship the F-Droid Privileged Extension (which uses an incorrect approach to implementing unattended updates), don't support locking the bootloader to enable verified boot on many supported devices, etc..
From the original letter:

While well-intentioned, we believe that many of the changes proposed by the CMF are deeply misguided and will disproportionately harm under-resourced students. Adopting them would result in a student population that is less prepared to succeed in STEM and other 4-year quantitative degrees in college. The CMF states that 'many students, parents, and teachers encourage acceleration beginning in grade eight (or sooner) because of mistaken beliefs that Calculus is an important high school goal.'

The updated CMF looks better, but I just don't see how an educator who knows math or how to teach math could come to such a conclusion (that Calculus should not be a goal). If it is well-intentioned, what was the intention... to dumb down math in high school? Perhaps we need to educate those who are coming up with the math frameworks in math and science, or to get people who care on the California Department of Education?

That's interesting. However I still have a couple questions:

1. My understanding there are significant brand-to-brand quality differences with optical disks. A better comparison might be Verbatim regular BDR vs. Verbatim M-DISC BDR than TDK regular BDR vs. M-DISC.

2. That article is from 2016, and I wonder if it holds up. From what I've read about optical disks, even were the disc was manufactured can be significant within the same brand. IIRC, back then they might have been making them in Japan, and I don't think they do that anymore.

Tesla isn't a mass-market software/online-services business. They manufacture, which means a lot of capital going into factories and a lot higher of material-input costs, and they're kind of a high end brand.

This gives their business different performance characteristics from Facebook (mass market social-media and ads), Amazon (mass market sales and logistics), Apple (which is at least slightly luxury, but contracts out its manufacturing, and does mass market hardware — look at that iPhone sell), Netflix (mass market entertainment), and Google (mass market search, mail, advertising).

What actually is incremental learning?

The 'What is Incremental Learning?' section seems deliberately poorly written.

Incremental learning is the fastest and the most comprehensive way of learning available to students at the moment of writing (2013).

Incremental learning is a consolidation of computer-based techniques that accelerate and optimize the process of learning from all conceivable material available in electronic form, and not only.

Currently, SuperMemo is the only software that implements incremental learning. In SuperMemo, the student feeds the program with all forms of learning material and/or data (texts, pictures, videos, sounds, etc.). Those learning materials are then gradually converted into durable knowledge that can last a lifetime.

They rarely have much in the way of liquidity - almost all of their wealth is on paper in the form of investments in opportunities (stocks, bonds, businesses, real estate, etc)

By investing in those things, they encourage/enable others to do things that bring them wealth, and bring the investors added wealth, too
