Yup, exactly.

The complexities of both running a large operation and operating globally are vastly greater than a small operation. Simply the number of nodes that must communicate has a combinatorial explosion. So, there needs to be a standard way of dealing with that, or entropy also explodes. So, bureaucracy happens, with processes that sorta fit everyone but rarely exactly fit, so friction increases.

A saying I heard from Africa: "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together". GP is going far and together, and yes the other people will necessarily slow you down vs going alone.

The decision is whether one really wants this journey, in which case, learn how to work within the large org, or actually wants the faster but less secure career.
There were 49,400,000+ million children in public schools in 2020. There were 529 NBA players.

Whether the NBA is unacceptably racially biased is a problem so tiny that it is not worth spending any societal attention solving. That is not true of public schools.
Agreed. I know Electron isn't ideal, but as a Linux user, I have a pretty hard time complaining. In the pre-electron world, something like Slack for linux either wouldn't exist, or would be several versions behind other platforms and have some goofy UI that didn't match the rest of your desktop. At least we have it and it works.
> This is an oft repeated myth. In addition to property taxes, school funding is supplemented by state and federal budgets, in inverse proportion to property taxes, so that racial differences in per-pupil funding are negligible:

This is not my experience. I chose a more expensive house with higher taxes because the schools are better. They are better funded than those in the surrounding areas. Sure the Federal Government gives free meals but my kids' books and chromebooks are always nice and new.
What do you mean by the veneer being quite thin? You mean that the surface-level claim that math instruction is racist is actually cover for a deeper claim that math itself is racist? Where do they come close to making that deeper claim?
There’s simply no private schools in poor districts to serve poor families. I am not sure how do you run the comparison.
There are several blackberry keyboard projects out there. I've been on a similar journey to OP for a while. Currently I've got a phone I'm fiddling with putting a jetson xavier inside a rotary phone and another based off the featherwing with a blackberry keyboard and touch display and a feather compatible linux SOC (GiantBoard).

I recently got a ClockworkPi DevTerm and have been so pleased with it that I'm seriously considering their GameShell as a phone platform. It's modularity is great.

I'm so excited that other people are working on DIY "phones". I personally think we are going to see this scene keep growing and phones will finally be more like the custom computer market very soon. The fact that people are finally putting linux on apple devices is also very very encouraging. There are so many bricked iphones and ipads floating around with great displays and sensors that are totally useless because we can't run a reasonable OS.

Top F1 designer says auto industry moving in wrong direction with electric cars
specific section - https://the-race.com/formula-1/newey-in-depth-aborted-ferrar...

"We now have electric SUVs – huge 4x4s with electric! Ludicrous. It just makes no sense whatsoever. It would just be nice to see cars getting a bit more efficient – whatever the propulsion unit might be, but in terms of the aero, weights, engine size. All these government organisations pat themselves on the back for the improved safety regulations but just like in F1 it makes the car very heavy. Also things like on the combustion engine having such low emissions from a cold start – again that puts weight into the car. The regulators don’t seem to think about that. They want utopia, a car with no emissions and is very efficient"
Personally I don’t agree. I used to eat meat, then decided it was evil, then later stopped eating meat. There was a long time there where I kept doing it out of habit and laziness even though I thought it was wrong.
Because it’s been decades, and the Python team has repeatedly made it clear that interpreter source simplicity is more important than performance. They’ve admitted it many times.
So why not have the normal needs students helping the children with learning dysfunctions?

Promote that camaraderie all the way down. Let them see what it's like in another's shoes. Etc. All of your arguments for putting the gifted in normal classes, but applied to normal students and children with learning dysfunctions.

Gifted students are special needs students. They exist on the entire other end of the spectrum than those with learning dysfunctions.
I would imagine that the people who are pushing for more equitable systems would argue that would should give people who lack that kind of parental support more help.

Why should a child suffer simply because they were born into a less supportive family environment?
If the unit that has to be replaced is large enough, as it is for cars, it pays to get the component reliability up. Failure of IC can mean replacement of dashboard or power train.
MySQL has been and continues to be a major success for Oracle, and in 8.0+ and beyond the feature set, correctness, and performance have improved substantially; MySQL continues to evolve and currently is in a good spot. It is even more attractive in modern times thanks to systems like Vitess, which add major features (online schema change, excellent horizontal scaling) that give alternatives a run for their money. What are you even talking about?
Tell it to former USSR citizens (btw with the exception of education your list describes that country perfectly). Everyone was poor but it didn't make everyone a criminal. Millions of suddenly impoverished middle class people in the 90s didn't turn to crime either. Normal people are normal people and criminals are are criminals regardless of external circumstances.

But you are right, war on crime makes no sense. It should be on _criminals_. Basically, if they have strength left to exercise in prisons they are clearly too well fed and not worked hard enough.
> I'm fine waiting for months and pushing the date, but will they still want me?

Yeah, most big corporations will understand you can't give a 2 weeks until you're cleared to start. For you, this is a life impacting decision, for them it's just business as usual.
Why? The point of a public school is that they serve the public good, not shareholder value. The issue isn't that public schools are a money pit, the issue is whether they're educating students.

A business will seek a profit. That should not be a factor at all in public education. The costs of public education should certainly be considered, especially the question of how much is spent and the quality of the education. That should always be under careful review. However the purpose of public education is to spend our collective money educating the populace. It should be a cost, it shouldn't make money. It's not meant to, it's meant to educate.
I was a black child in the gifted program as a kid. At that age, there were other black kids too, it just depended on which school you came from. And I wasn't privileged, my classmates had way more money at the time and I could tell back then. But they were still my friends and treated me no different. I think its the parents that put the emphasis on it and use it as a status symbol for their kids. As a child, I had fun. But however, I do remember this one white girl, she was so stuck up and thought she was better than everyone else. I was in the 2nd grade and even then I could tell that. But I don't think it was because of the gifted program, she was just stuck up. But her mom was also a teacher, and her mom was super nice.
> A language with meaningful whitespace and indentation does not make a good language for UART or other serial interaction.

Whenever I see someone complaining about Python's use of whitespace as syntax, I think to myself "This person poorly formats their code".

If you're properly formatting code, there's no reason to complain about it. You might occasionally copy/paste code from where that doesn't properly encode the whitespace, in which case yeah it might get messed up, but that's rare in my experience.
As soon as you have "roles"/routers/managers, you no longer have a truly flat, decentralized network. Some nodes become these privileged "roles" and certain behaviors and information flows centralize around them; they become de facto authorities in the baking industry, for instance.

Somewhere, sometime, an true anarchist will complain about that.
Isn't their schtick (judging by the landing page) that you possess your data and third parties do not?

Totally false. In most western European countries, women can trivially get approved for abortion after 15 weeks. For example, in the UK, if two doctors agree that it would be too damaging for a woman to carry a pregnancy to term, she can get an abortion even after 15 weeks.

Compare that to the man you said represents the mainstream of the GOP. Ron DeSantis signed a law banning abortion after 15 weeks "without exemptions for rape, incest or human trafficking.

I'm not sure what to think - is the idea to make a gigantic MUD using data on the blockchain?
That helps a lot but not necessarily required. If you require/aspire for radical social mobility being gifted is extreme help. If you're looking to have a modest life with family outside of expensive cities being gifted isn't much of a help.

As well, by definition, to be gifted you need to be an outlier. Most people get by and live a decent, if stressful, life.
Gifted programs, depending on where in the country they are located, are deeply related to equity. Things have gotten better over the past decade even without their total elimination, but for the majority of people who are of age to be posting here, if they were in a gifted program, it likely is because they had parents who helped them study for the tests to get in by spending money. Once in said program, fundraising through the PTA is easier done because the average student is better off financially than at the nearby public school.

When I was growing up in NYC I was in a gifted program, and the average family was donating several thousand dollars a year per child. There were benefits such that if one child was in the program, other siblings automatically got in. This allowed us to have privately funded music program alongside privately funded teaching assistants in every classroom.
> In our globalized world, it is absolutely possible to interact with a set of a billion different individuals via social media

So you have a billion Facebook friends?

> commerce, et cetera.

So you go to a billion different grocery stores? A billion different drugstores? A billion different restaurants?

The fact that, ultimately, there might be a billion or more people involved in the processes that bring you your food, household items, etc., or visiting the same social media sites that you do, does not mean you interact with all of those people directly. Nobody does. All of that activity is coordinated spontaneously, driven by individual voluntary interactions involving much smaller numbers of people.

In fact, talking about the social media case, centralization of power, as in the case of Facebook, has arguably done more harm than good.

> let's move N down to 10,000 (a small city or large crowd). How do you manage that without hierarchical organization and government?

You will most likely have hierarchical organization in these cases. 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.

Do NOT quit your current job until you have assurance from your new job that you are officially hired.

If you're worried about not having enough time to gracefully exit your old job before starting the new one, that should have been part of your counter-offer to the new company. It's not necessarily too late to do that still, and the new company should be understanding with pushing back the start date, especially since they are the ones dragging their feet with the final steps. THEY are the ones causing the delay and the humans involved should be sympathetic to that. If they are not, you don't want to work there anyway.
As the other commenter pointed out there is really nothing you can do about it. It is your word vs theirs.

I think what I'm getting at is that the "rich White affluent people gave me a chance" and I "didn't behave" according to their standards, so they pushed me out. I was too young to understand, but perhaps they had a fair point?

I was well-behaved and bright, but coarse I suppose.

I was too poor to participate in the fancy science trips, couldn't afford class materials, constantly late, and homework never got done due to what I remember as "family issues". I was bright and gifted, but a high achiever I was not.

I don't blame them for pushing me out of the system, I didn't play by the rules. But from what you're saying, that's part of the problem and I don't disagree... but allowing me to persist and annoy those gifted kids with resources, encouraging families, and ambition wasn't really fair now was it?

> Who needs a better teacher? The gifted student or the remedial student?

The well-behaved students. Good teachers are wasted on troublemakers and class clowns, regardless of their IQ. And if a dim student who scores poorly on IQ tests knows how to sit quietly and behave themself, I think good teachers will help them a lot.

> the US has been blatantly assassinating people across the Middle East and across the entire American continent

Have you noticed that literally nobody cares about this? Even the people we killed don’t care. Even Greenwald, who started this line of argument, doesn’t really care - he just hates Obama, he dropped it the second the next guy did it even more. (And Biden has completely stopped doing it.) Even you don’t care, you’re just doing whataboutism.

That’s because the ME countries aren’t actually allies just because they’re next to each other. More importantly, we don’t lie about it when asked, and we don’t use wacky spy methods like poison and radioactive weapons.
I certainly don’t believe in genetically engineering away differences, to answer your question directly.

But it begs the question, do you believe that racial disparities are primarily due to social factors or genetic ones? Because the whole point of equity is that advocates are arguing that it’s due to social factors, and that we should seek to change that.

I don't think it should be privilege to receive an education that challenges you. Punishing the kids for the sins of being born to "privilege" doesn't seem fair. And if kids of privilege are the only ones in the gifted program, you're not doing it right, which is the point of TFA.
I don't have a great alternative in mind, but here is why it's not a good measure: suppose I take any school, then give the teachers a pay raise or a pay cut of X%. Nothing has fundamentally changed about the school, but per student expenditure has gone up or down, respectively, depending on which direction the salary adjustment was.
Adventures of being a solopreneur. (Part 1)
How big is the business and how is it structured? How much administration is local and how much transparency into operations is given to the community?

Does it have profit responsibilities that need to be extracted from the funding, or is it a non-profit? In either case, does it receive funding from other sources besides the school's own community? What do those sources of funding expect for their contributions?

How big is the moat that allows or prevents competion from forming, and how healthy are the current forces of competition? Are there regulations that ensure market efficiency? Who's responsible for those regulations?

Does it have a formal responsibility to operate a school even when it can no longer do so profitably? Or might communities just be abandoned without any school at all until a new vision is capitalized?

I'll agree, our elections are shit. They're designed that way so that interested and connected individuals can manipulate them. The most successful ways of doing so are the time honored traditions of gerrymandering and voter suppression. My problem with a lot of popular right-wing complaints are that they are rarely directed at those things, they're directed at things like vote by mail which helps alleviate the latter while, as far as I can tell, not being significantly worse than voting in person for security. Voter ID sounds like a decent idea, but the solution to getting everyone their ID is to make people skip work to go to the DMV and close DMVs in areas with too many "unfavorable" voters.

But I agree, we should put aside partisan bullshit and come up with some meaningful improvements, but that will never happen as long as we have politicians who insist on trying to rig everything their way. We should be pushing for an end to gerrymandering, a way to count votes that makes it reasonable for every eligible voter to vote, assures to a reasonable degree that only eligible voters can vote, and that the count is accurate. Let me know when there's a conservative idea that actually does those things and I'll be behind it.

That is not the quote from tfa. The quote is "The current population of students we identify as academically gifted and talented is unacceptably whiter and wealthier than the actual student population of academically gifted and talented students should be."

The author's focus on a particular racial classification seems incongruent with facts, given that students with another racial group are also over-represented in "Gifted Programs."
