One of my old colleague's son went to a Montessori school, which was based in a similar "no grade levels" philosophy like GP mentioned.

They apparently smashed through the regular curriculum fairly quickly, then allowed the kids to pursue something that interested them. His son in particular learned how to produce music, and he was actually pretty bloody good at it for a kid.

At no point did they actually need 1:1 tutoring to ram education down the kids' throat; given a little bit of free reign the kids would gladly learn things on their own.
Yes, I'm in no position to contradict the narrative of the story, and so I'm not.

I'm quibbling with the characterization of it being an "unintended consequence" that "launched an exodus". The changes had already happened. The exodus had already been launched. It's just no one had actually left yet. If anything, I'd argue the sodas were the unintended consequence, but the exodus, or at least the impetus for it, was very much intended.

Yep, we absolutely understand and respect Louis and community members' requests for full schematics, and we appreciate the folks who extend understanding as we work through constraints (including Louis as noted in that last video). We're continuing to make as much open as we can, and we're adding to that list as we go:

* Mainboard partial schematics, drawings, and pinouts: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard

* Expansion Card reference designs: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards

* Embedded Controller firmware: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController

On the list of things that we are exploring ways to improve on in the future:

* More of the schematics, including of modules beyond the Mainboards.

* Moving to open UEFI/BIOS solutions.

I think people are missing the value proposition of framework here - pcmasterrace builders like PCs because you can access all the components and swap out or upgrade parts that are outdated or broken and you can customize your build. Board level repairs are even more out of reach for most the components in that sector (because at least Framework provides them to repair shops that ask).
I picked Porkbun from other threads on this topic. You can search "registrar" on hn.algolia to see yourself, but tbh I never really found a single _consensus_ opinion.
I strongly disagree with this. First off homes fell sharply in value just as recently as 2009. Secondly over time, globally, real estate barely keeps ahead of inflation. About 3% per year. For much of the last century you did about as well parking your money in a savings account. Finally, equities in globally have returned about 6.5% per year. That's much better. Better still in the US where they did more like 10.5%. Real estate as an appreciating asset is a lousy investment. If it's a place to live that's sometimes a different matter. If it's a rental property that's also different.

The range extender option was reportedly extremely unpopular among buyers. The i3 was also hideously unreliable, with lease turn-ins being practically given away at wholesale auctions.

A substantial amount of pollution and efficiency loss is during warm-up, so activating the range extender when the battery is nearly depleted to maximize the extender's run time and thus maximize energy to pollution (and fuel consumption) ratio, is prudent...
I believe the manufacturer places limitations on the availability of the schematics, not Framework. Iirc Framework had to negotiate with their manufacturer in order to get them released to repair shops.

Free soda (well, usually coffee) is just the indicator...

The company is either broke, and can't afford soda (so it probably won't afford any raises and bonuses), or it's trying to save money on meaningless, cheap stuff (and will try to save money elsewhere... like on staff and wages). To me, this is a signal to slowly leave.

Well, it’s probably only enforced if you submit a new version; can’t really disable a top package just because the author hasn’t logged in in a while. browerify was last updated two years ago and probably won’t see a new release ever, so the requirement doesn’t actually matter.
Keep an eye on their twitter, pragprog occasionally has coupons, usually on holidays. Manning always had coupons and deals.

Both pragprog and Manning blew past O’Reilly in terms of quality of content years ago. In both cases you’re paying for non-DRM’d media: mobi, pdf, epub. O’Reily’s Safari service is okay, but last I checked you’re stuck reading online (not bad, but not ideal), or using their reader app (not great). Huge selection though, and I think some manning, pragprog, and no starch books are included.

If the book is good, ebook or physical, I generally won’t blink at $30.

This reminds me of when Microsoft stopped offering the free towel service. In the buildings with large bike racks, there were locker rooms with showers. Normally they would have a free towel service so you didn't have to bring your own, like a gym. But then one year they said that they were spending too much money on it compared to the number of people using it. There was a huge uproar.

Then again, if it had been the free sodas, it would have been a mutiny. I remember when they got rid of the spicy v8 and a mutiny was considered, but declined.
Very interested in this. You may or may not know many stable coin investment platforms just went bust. There are a lot of people out there including myself holding legit USDC and GUSD that want to put their money somewhere to get a stable return. If we can help the environment at the same time it’s win win. Give us the ability to deposit the coin, pay ROI in mind and I’ll invest tomorrow. Even at 5% you’d get a ton of investment. As long as you’re transparent to your users, clear rules, and have a low barrier to entry this could be a winner.

You could even do something crazy like tokenize the panels themselves and let people buy/sell rights to them on an open market. Be the first company that makes NFTs not a joke.
I don't think so, sadly.

> What part of "free soda doesn't scale" is irrational?

All of it.

Free soda for 10 people is hard. They have different tastes. There are too many things to keep enough refrigerated at the same time to make sure you hit soda rush times of the day. And you're probably running to a local grocery store, at least sometimes, to make sure you don't run out.

With 100 people, you've probably settled into something more standardized, no more special Puerto Rican pineapple soda for that one person with the interesting tastes. Everything can be delivered by the same one or two vendors. You know roughly how much you need and when - much more predictable. And you have more fridges now, constantly stocked with more soda. Moreover, the free soda now costs less per person.

Etc.

Why? It’s not like these are pink sheet companies being sold out of boiler rooms to retirees. The people losing their shirts on these SPACs are greedy gamblers. I don’t think we need to waste regulation resources protecting them from themselves. There are polluters and things to spend time on instead.

For a lot of apps, the website is better. But there are still some things that an app does better. Mainly either apps that require a lot of data to download once, or apps that require sensors that don't work as well or at all in the browser.

Apps working off-line is much less of an issue now, but still an issue. E.g. one app I wrote to let kayakers check the water levels updates in the background, so the data is available when they get out in the hills with no service. Similarly with some of my astronomy apps, by the time you think to use the app, you might be well out of a service area, so a background data update is very useful.
Ironically I posted the Archived version because the DO blog was under maintenance.
Well, the rules of a SPAC are that if it doesn't close then the investors get their money back, and the "leader" (I don't know the technical term) of the SPAC just loses out on any money, time, and effort spent trying to close a deal. Not sure what disclosure that would warrant for investors except "make sure you ask for interest when you get your money back".

I've been railroaded into manager hiring, at a huge company everyone knows, and so I've gone over the manager hiring documentation. Assuming you don't fuck up the interview, the level you get hired at as a manager ... is directly related to the number of reports you claimed to have had at your previous position (there is some verification, but nothing "real").

It's not the only factor, but it's by far the most important.

Managers fight over headcount because it directly affects their personal ... everything. Career, money, power, ... all are dependent on headcount ("number of reports").

yes, but how you make money is important. If there's a clear way to make money in a way that's principled, and not just "we'll figure it out later". For example, as a consumer, I trust discord somewhat more than I trust facebook, since they've clearly had a revenue stream from the beginning that wasn't (just?) exploit their users. And biotech has the potential to be significantly better, since there's a clear product. And palantir is significantly worse in that they're explicitly working to build a police state.

I guess I'm saying it's important to think critically about the business case, and not just take founders at their word that they "won't be evil".

These days most of the work for this is handled by the CRIU project (https://criu.org/), so the "hard" work has been done.

It's a bandwagon culture that believes they have a responsibility to be activists and force that upon students. There is no fixing that by just replacing leadership. The whole boat must go.
US Cybersecurity Agency: 16 states have vulnerable voting machines
I once worked on a company that made me understand the value of this stuff.

My project was late, I was coding desperately, sometimes skipping lunch to have enough time, I had to leave using a bus on a specific time so I couldn't just stay late.

I realized then, that whenever I wanted to drink a coffee or a tea, there was one, hot, on my table, and I didn't fetch it!

Snacks too sometimes!

And whenever I left to go to the bathroom or some random reason, when I got back, my place was clean too!

This meant I could focus on my work, just coding, I didn't had to think about fetching coffee or tea, all I had to do was work, and whenever I needed coffee or tea or food, it would be there, ready, on a clean desk.

It made me realize the service staff worked as a sort of "force multiplier" for the company, you hire a few of them, and a lot of programmers can squeeze more work hours, and what you spend on the service staff wages, you save on programmers wages that you would be wasting if they were wandering around looking for food or caffeine.
Indeed he did!

I told him about my experiment of using GA to train small recurrent networks (using what I called variable weight size, that would increase during training). He said that it was a very cool idea but it wouldn’t scale. A few weeks later I agreed with his almost instant analysis. I did use the code as an example in my C++ Power Paradigms book.
Precisely! If Framework succeeds (and stays committed to their current vision) we could be Ship of Theseus-ing our laptops too
I agree. A lot of folks in the comments are expressing that this is antithetical to the right of repair & being fully repairable. As far as I'm concerned, I can swap out my LCD, mainboard, and other components with literally no issue. This was Dell's original value prop, and it took repairability from weeks down to a call to the local Dell repair folks.

I hope one day the schematics can be published, but at the moment? I figure let Framework establish themselves as a killer business in the space of laptop configurability/repairability/component swapping before pulling out the pitchforks for not releasing the silicon and metal mining agreements that become for their boards.
The only problem with free soda for a big corp is that people are more likely to take the mick and take more than their fair share, as they’re less likely to feel obligated to the company to be reasonable.

“free soda” doesn’t have to do with scaling, or being small, or anything other than what a company is willing to pay for their employees really.

A company cutting employee perks without further explaining what employees will get in exchange is irrational and being stupid. I mean even drastic lines like “you get to keep your job that otherwise we would cut” are usually explicitly stated to try to convince the employees there’s something in for them.

It's worth noting that the reason hybrids are popular in Japan is due to Toyota pushing them, very heavily, due to their substantial failure to keep up innovation-wise and not invest in EV drivetrains and platforms. Toyota has gone so far as to print what amounts to propaganda for grade school children to brainwash them into the evils of BEVs.

There is no reason BEVs wouldn't work in Japan. Extensive, highly reliable, fast public transit means range is irrelevant and vehicles can be small, light, with small batteries and small motors. High voltage means a normal wall socket and most circuits provide plenty of power for charging, no need for special circuit installs.

BEVs are easier to produce, are a fraction as complicated, and have very little maintenance and long lifespan. That's another reason Japan doesn't have any interest in them; a massive part of Japan's economic engine is their regulating cars off the road after a shockingly short period of time to export them off to Rest of World (and the resulting parts sales...)

>Are you actually identifying gifted children, or just well-fed ones with supportive parents who have the same cultural background as you?

In all seriousness, why should this matter?

If a kid hypothetically couldn't handle a "gifted" workload were they to come from a bad family, that shouldn't stop them from being given opportunities.

Similarly, if a kid is failing academically because their parents mock their achievements, is that something the school can fix?

Either the kids can work at that higher level or they can't. I don't see the point of dragging down kids who could achieve more because others have bad home lives.

Ask HN: Why are downloads in browsers still default to local and not the cloud?
Why, in 2022, are downloads in devices/browsers default still to local? Shouldn't downloads by default to the cloud not be an option in all browsers/devices by now?

It is 100% what will happen in the future for tons of reasons. It makes more sense as people download things to have access to them at a later time. The cloud is the cloud, independent of physical devices which do get lost and will not always continue to work. + Cloud storage has become a commodity.

Why isn't cloud download as default already happening? Sure, not everyone buys enough cloud space to have downloads be to the cloud by default, but it should probably already be an option in browsers/devices since lots of people do. Why isn't it?

From what I understand, a big part of why this is discouraged now is because kids that are ready academically aren't necessarily ready socially - especially considering they'd be breaking into a new group.
