He was changing on the order of 40 votes at a single precinct for local judgeships in primary elections.. It could have swung things but only for very small races when there's exceptionally low turnout.
Anec-datally this rings true to me. I think in wealthier neighborhoods there is also a lot more competitiveness for PTA and school board seats from parents who are very highly credentialed (i.e. MBA, former product managers, lawyers) that have electively taken time off/early retirement to have more quality time with their kids. There's some sort of institutional knowledge coming from the business world on how to run effective meetings, run a fundraiser, etc.
No. Apple has published several papers about how it works. It all happens on device.

Places that ask for your SSN are usually not doing so for auth, it's mostly as a taxpayer ID, or a unique identifier because names aren't unique. (banks, employers, etc)

For fraud prevention they typically do behavior analysis or use a composite of personal data. SSN + DOB + Name + last address you lived at + etc.
FWIW, in this respect, I'm just relaying from my parents: dad's an ortho trauma surgeon who now runs a trauma department, and mum's an ophthal surgeon. As much as I'd like to claim I'm casually reading the NEJM every day, I've only ever read papers they share with me, which they do at an annoying frequency considering I'm in trading.

I assume the general silent belief would be that your guy with the spectacular failure is some kind of "take the tough cases" dude?

By the way, when I was much younger (maybe 10-15 years ago), I recall my dad coming back from an AO Foundation conference where there was a talk about some particular procedure in some Scandinavian country where the range of outcome quality was so high for a particular non-emergency THR/TKR or something like that and so they shut down the procedure in the remote hospitals and centralized it in a few (3?) tertiary healthcare centres. Do you recall something like that? I have this memory in my head but I can't find the original material. The story is so good: EBM driving patient outcomes; but I can't find it so I don't share it and I would like very much to, if it is true.
To be fair you can get 3DS Max or Maya for $250 a year with a hobby licenses. You can get Houdini for free or super low price as well.
> The lower performing schools also tend to be older and require more maintenance and repairs than newer schools in wealthier areas.

Sure, that's a factor too, but I'd still call it a social service issue since it ultimately results from the historical disinvestment in the communities that today have low performing schools.

There are reasons that the roofs didn't get repaired and the lead pipes didn't get replaced in those schools: because middle income people took their lives, businesses, and tax dollars out of those communities starting in the late 1960s, both by migrating to newly built suburbs, and also by ensuring their tax dollars never went toward the communities they left.

Look up the opposition to "Robin Hood" school funding from the 80s and 90s. Where I grew up it was largely about keeping suburban tax dollars out of inner-city school districts.

Though it's not as if Asian students are a perfect mixture of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, etc. Given demographic trends most of them are going to be Chinese, with a smaller amount Korean.
Schools literally send home papers to parents and communicate with them directly about the programs. Most school districts require parental permission before children are pulled out of class to be tested.
Similarly, I got Cs in math in middle school and early highschool. Once I got to calculus something clicked.
Now I have a degree in physics and am pursuing a graduate degree in applied mathematics. The math I do now is nothing like the math I was bad at in middle school.
Even when you have poorer families who value the better education their children could receive at option 3, the transportation hurdle can be huge. Often they may lack reliable transportation of their own or work at a job or jobs that don't offer the kind of flexibility in the workday that white-collar workers tend to have.

Hmm, I can't imagine having to deal with those things. People don't act like that where I live.
I want to push back on this. "Big companies are for drones" is a way to shame people who aren't a part of tech bro hustle culture, and it's a way to play yourself up as being better than the average person.

It's an expression and promotion of inequality: only the "best" get to have a fulfilling job, everyone else has to work tech support at CVS or flip burgers at Burger King. I'm doing well because I "worked hard and failed." [1]

If you're stuck doing something lame, you're just a "drone" who wasn't smart, connected, and cool enough.

> Find your passion and your fortune will likely follow.

Will it? I'd like you to meet some very talented illustrators and graphic designers I know who still live at home or with roommates. If you've got "fortune" (never needing to work after 35), you've got luck and privilege, not passion.

Big companies pay more, give out equity that's worth something on the open market, and have better retirement and health plans. What fortune do you expect someone to find being ground down to burnout by a startup expecting 60 hour weeks with crap benefits?

I say, let's dispense with the unrealistic notion that any of us are going to "change the world" through for-profit work. We are all drones, and pretending we are not is at best going to lead to an endless cycle of chasing career fulfillment that's just out of reach.

We should strive to be happy with just existing and that means not overworking ourselves in hopes of being a part of "the next big thing." We should also strive for enough income equality so that people who didn't get lucky like you aren't suffering from overwork, poverty, and poor health outcomes.

We're born and we work and we die. Even people who "changed the world" at their company mostly just made some money for the investors. Numerically, most startup companies that have ever been founded don't exist anymore.

What was all that hustle worth for employees at GrooveShark, Vine, Pebble, or StumbleUpon? Their sweat eventually swirled right down the drain, meanwhile their peers at Microsoft are "droning" their life away at the beach right now.

I'm not saying "allow yourself to be miserable and bored at work," but I am saying that it's wrong to shame people for making this kind of tradeoff.

It's also wrong to assume that big companies don't have any interesting projects. You wouldn't want to work on Apple's chip design team? You don't think JPMorgan has any opportunities to work on software that has interesting scale and performance challenges? You think Ford has nothing interesting for a UX designer to do?

It didn't really. The co-conspirator was already convicted years ago. It takes years for a federal case to get on the calendar even after it is fully briefed, because the productivity of the justice system is not evaluated or pursued, and because common law is an idiotic system. This is also why it's been possible for the Attorney General of Texas to be under federal indictment for 7 years without ever seeing a courtroom.
I disagree its a strawman argument. Its a clear delineation. Trying to get all kids to successfully complete gifted programs is a very challenging if not impossible goal. Not all kids will be successful in gifted programs. However, Equality of opportunity states that any kids its appropriate for have access. Its an important distinction. Now, its arguable that certain sub-cultures within America make success in school or gifted programming challenging (parents who don't trust schools, parents who don't engage in school for various reasons).
Ah, a fellow full-time vim user. There are dozens of us!
I had a similar experience, not necessarily with being able to move around to different teachers. In general, the teachers for the gifted classes were leagues ahead of the normal teachers. By having access to better teachers, I for sure received a better education than non-gifted students. And honestly, I can see why that is a problem. Ideally all teachers would be competent and caring, but as a society we tend to treat the position as a glorified baby sitter
> I personally doubt it very much.

It might help if you specified exactly what it is you doubt...

It's a simple fact that Basic English has a shorter wordlist than Esperanto, simple rules, and being based on English it omits things like gender for objects.

While perhaps exaggerated, the claim was: "it would take seven years to learn English, seven months for Esperanto, and seven weeks for Basic English."

It's totally all the stuff Windows is doing in the background, on Linux with at least 16 GB RAM the difference between a HDD and SSD is less striking. Caching, the BFQ scheduler, and having a lean system goes far.
I think it's a huge stretch to assume that anyone who simplifies "I am taking all the required courses to position myself to do well on the MCAT and go to med school" with "I'm premed" has a personality disorder. Also, maybe they stopped interacting because what you said is just kind of rude? People really hate it when you "get them" on technicalities.
The fact that my school provides chromebooks (while other schools in the same county do not) seems to be from a funding perspective. I'm not focusing on outcomes because I would expect people who can afford homes in my town can afford tutors and other resources.

Teachers in my town make ~10% more than in the schools that are two towns over in a predominantly minority town.
I think a lot of progressives would be in favor of voter ID laws if you could ensure it was reasonable for every eligible voter to get their ID. That isn't usually what happens though. Here in Wisconsin when the republican party tried it, their solution to the problem was to make people show up to the DMV and fill out forms for their free ID, then they proceeded to close a bunch of DMVs, conveniently in areas likely to be unfavorable to them.

Progressives do not want to support a system that can be used to suppress voters any more than the current system already does.
> In SF

I'm not sure about SF in particular, but my account was for the US as a whole.

> Murder and shootings are comparable with 2018.

This is incorrect. SF homicides:

Year | Homicides
-----+----------
2018 | 44
2019 | 41
2020 | 48
2021 | 56

That's a 25% increase since 2018. Source: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/sf-mayor....

> The rising crime narrative is entirely an artifact of the pandemic causing historically low crim because for like 8 months no one did anything.

Again, I'm not sure about SF in particular, but nationally the "rising crime narrative" is entirely an artifact of soaring crime, especially violent crimes. For example, homicides have been falling for decades, and then the trend abruptly reversed around 2014. Criminologists have identified specific reversals in cities that experienced large BLM protests immediately following those protests, and this is all pre-pandemic data (the 2020 and 2021 data is still being compiled and analyzed as far as I know).

For example (https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w27324/w273...):

> For investigations that were not preceded by "viral" incidents of deadly force, investigations, on average, led to a statistically significant reduction in homicides and total crime. In stark contrast, all investigations that were preceded by "viral" incidents of deadly force have led to a large and statistically significant increase in homicides and total crime. We estimate that these investigations caused almost 900 excess homicides and almost 34,000 excess felonies. The leading hypothesis for why these investigations increase homicides and total crime is an abrupt change in the quantity of policing activity. In Chicago, the number of police-civilian interactions decreased by almost 90% in the month after the investigation was announced. In Riverside CA, interactions decreased 54%. In St. Louis, self-initiated police activities declined by 46%.

You almost definitely would benefit from getting a stencil. Instead of a hot plate you could do a toaster oven. I got an "air frier" convection toaster oven at walmart for $50 open box. It's perfect for reflow. Also take one that you've already ruined and test the melt temp on the plastic them put a thermocouple probe on the plastic.

"The poorest schools are often the middle-class - those too wealthy to qualify for the funding but not wealthy enough to be rich."

If we insist on mutilating Spanish to satisfy intellectual fads, something like "Latine" would be better.

The broader issue is that having grammatical noun classes/gender serves an important purpose: not enforcing the patriarchy, but instead disambiguating different words and antecedents (basically adding an extra bit or two of information to a word).

> But hierarchical organization is not the same thing as government. Hierarchical organizations evolve all the time through the voluntary interactions of people. Governments impose their rules on people by force. Those are very different things.

The functional health of an organization is directly determined by how closely its constituents are following a loose language of agreed-upon behaviors -- protocols. If you pretend such protocols don't exist, or explicitly refuse to enforce them, your organization will simply disintegrate.
Yes, but if you cut out the wasteful spending, you can redirect that funding to not wasteful things. What spending is wasteful is another question entirely.

Drawing realistically begins with understanding light and shadow and form. A good teacher will absolutely speed up that understanding, and if you can find a teacher or class I also highly recommend that, but it can also be achieved through careful observation and experimentation.

Your survey of private schools is sorely lacking.

Schools that charge under $15k/yr are mostly low-quality religious schools, with a few rare gems (mostly from the Catholics)

Full tuition at schools that people mean when they talk about how good private schools are, starts around $40k on the coasts (day rates, not boarding), and $18-20k at lesser-but-still-sometimes-decent schools in less-affluent areas.

[EDIT] Of course, per-pupil spending and tuition aren't entirely connected—on the one hand, many students don't pay the full rate (much like with private colleges) but on the other, the better private schools usually have other sources of funding of various sorts. Endowments, scholarship funds, lots of supplemental and sometimes quite-large donations from parents and alumni for various purposes.
Also you tend to find daycare programs for teenage mothers at poorer schools. Rich parents get their children abortions, while poor children give birth to their babies.
The server already has a full copy of (its subset of) Wikipedia.

Every query touches every byte of that snapshot, in the same way... but the homomorphic-encryption math distills that down to just the fragment the client requested.

And it does so without giving even the CPU executing that math any hint of what bytes/ranges/topics survive the math. The much-smaller – but still, at every server step, encrypted – result is then sent to the client, which performs the decryption.

It's moon-math magic.
Vesting is just receiving the full rights of the share, option, or whatever over a specific amount of time.

If you start a company with someone you don't (er, shouldn't) just automatically get 50% of the company. That would allow you walk on day 3 and still own 50%. Instead you receive the ability to leave with your shares on a vesting schedule so that you have skin in the game.

You know what it means.

It has become acceptable in society these days for people to bring down the white race any way they can through these sort of micro aggressions.

As a white person any success or benefit you enjoy can never be truly legitimate, it will always be stained by the original sin of your white ancestors. And if you happen to be straight, or male, or both you are even more guilty. The message is that the white race must not be allowed to progress any further than it has until all other races have caught up or even surpassed it. In the mean time, individuals suffer.

The only time you can be truly understood and seen as a unique individual and not a stereotype is amongst other whites.

I think sometimes we are quick to discount the affect that home life has on children's school performance. Part of the reason school's are better in wealthy areas is because children in wealthy areas tend to have better home life than children in poor areas.
