If funding was

$6k for white pupil in NY
$5k for black pupil in NY

$3k for white pupil in Ohio
$2k for black pupil in Ohio

Clearly that's more money for white pupils regardless of location

Now imagine that there's 60 black students in NY and 10 in Ohio, but 10 white students in NY and 60 in Ohio

That means total funding is 320k for 70 black pupils and 240k for 70 white students

So you can spin the figures to say that black pupils get more funding, but the truth is the opposite.
Even more, though this would only have delayed the inevitable, was that he should not have identified himself to the police when questioned about the incident unrelated to him, that led to his arrest. You do not have to identify yourself unless, and this varies by State in the U.S., you are arrested or they have "RAS" Reasonable Articulable Suspicion informed by Specific Articulable Facts that you have or are committing a crime.

So basically, NEVER TALK TO POLICE!
BeautifulSoup is an API for multiple parsers

BeautifulSoup(markup, "html.parser")
BeautifulSoup(markup, "lxml")

Looks like lxml w/ xpath is still the fastest with Python 3.10.4 from "Pyquery, lxml, BeautifulSoup comparison" https://gist.github.com/MercuryRising/4061368 ; which is fine for parsing (X)HTML(5) that validates<

> Good teachers are wasted on troublemakers and class clowns

It is entirely natural for children to “clown around” in a boring setting, and their lack of interest / trouble focusing reflects a societal (and school) failure to make school engaging and give them the appropriate challenges and direct feedback to keep their attention. Many of the greatest human breakthroughs were made by people who were squirmy and distractible as children, who had difficulty with the formal school curriculum, or who were ostracized by their classmates for one reason or another.

Every child deserves attention from good teachers. Good teachers with enough resources can provide a significant benefit to these students and integrate them into a smoothly functioning classroom. Assigning troublesome students to weak or unsympathetic teachers is a tremendous “waste” of human talent.
I'm using a single display and often close all the windows except the one that I am trying to focus on. Otherwise, there are just too many distractions and 'open loops', particularly if I have to tab over to something else (for the focus task) and accidentally come across something like a new email. Militant single tasking has been my mantra. I can't say this has been super successful and am contemplating more drastic options.

'If equity is the concern, we should also name the inequitable reality that parents with means will always find a way to ensure their children receive whatever out-of-school enrichment resources their children need. My greatest concern? The admirable but demonstrably false notion that school systems can fully implement an “all kids are gifted” framework that attempts to address the issue of eliminating the need for specialized gifted programming.'

This sums up my concerns with detracking.

That was wrong in 2015 and it is wrong now.

What is seen as validation to users in Europe is different to North America is different to Asia. You can run a whole business in a group chat back then, and North America is just catching on to that, barely moving off of the concept of a .com presence and being okay that other TLD's are good enough too. When you don't even need a website.

Do the thing that makes revenue.

At this point its simple to me: if you are relying on an audience that instinctively types .com or if you think you need a .com for a search result or ad campaign, that's what you're doing wrong. Like, are you intentionally selling to pensioners? Is that the audience you want? People that had the same 30 years as you did to figure out to use a computer but made 30 years of excuses instead?

It took me two years to verify that I was gifted enough for the gifted program in middle school. In fact, they did so incredibly reluctantly because I achieved the highest math scores in my middle school on the state exams (two years in a row). It takes a lot of effort to be recognized as an afro-latino person that can be gifted even with higher scores.

They also only placed me in the math/science gifted sections and would only be placed in the english/social studies gifted sections after much arguing as well.

Guess what? I excelled there too. Now to get away from anecdotes:

NYC schools are not funded by property taxes.

The city and state fund the DoE and that money is disbursed to schools throughout the district without relationship to the geographic source of the funds. PTAs (especially in wealth neighborhoods) also contribute huge amounts of money to their local schools, often even paying for the salary of extra teachers or classroom assistants.

NYC schools are terrible for any number other reasons, but the property tax argument does not apply.

Feelings rant:

I've played DF since just before the massive z-level update (2008?) - I was living in a girl's college dorm with my girlfriend and her roommate's boyfriend that was living there turned me onto DF and Fallout, etc.

DF has been the one thing I have turned to over the years as a therapeutic device when I'm in deep depression and meds/therapy doesn't feel like it's doing it: the function of procgen obscurity, guided freedom of choice, and even the simple repetitive mundane nature of it that doesn't feel like it (even the looped guitar track) helps me really get through some dark days.

I'm worried seeing the steam updates like Tarn is begrudgingly making UX/UI changes for "the people in our community that can't handle ASCII" when he is obviously NOT a UX/UI guy (evidenced by the product of DF itself). The textbox styling look like he's just adding bland graphics as #goodenough.

If they patreon'd a $100/month tier where I could support a team to help translate his brilliant spaghetti into clean, streamlined frictive processes (militia workflow having broken defaults, navigation, etc), and maybe even some devs to optimize his legacy code so embark can handle larger complex sites and maybe CO-OP (come on I can dream). So much of the flow has always felt like I have to do this because this is how it is done in DF.

tldr: I am worried Tarn is not a UX guy, begrudgingly building UX for DF, when he (and WE) are missing out on a massive opportunity to build something with less friction and more [FUN].

One trick I’ve used is quite simply having five things on at once. You keep notes of where each project is, and work to get each one blocked. When they get unblocked, you switch to that thing until it’s blocked again.

There will be people who insist that you should “focus on the most important thing” but if it’s blocked what’s the point?

The other thing to do is make a lot of friends in related departments. It’s amazing how much faster things will go when someone does you a favour. Expect to be doing favours in return.
Thanks for this. I think he plans to leverage little pieces of the code in his new project, but it's essentially value-less at this stage. I also think as he wrote the code and has put so much time into it there is likely a strong sense of ownership and high level of value assigned (regardless of its true value).

The 12-18 months to PMF is really why I'd love to push it a little further and see what comes out of it. I think doing so without a product is possible, and based on a lot of the comments that seems to be my best path.
Eh, private schools right now have the parents as the customers. The parents generally have their incentives oriented towards well educated, well behaving kids and want it for not be too expensive. And can judge quality and make individual purchasing decisions, and have no incentive to waste funds.

If the public starts paying (blindly!) for it, the incentives change. Private schools would become more like private prisons probably, and we’d be back where we started.
No experience with high-level chemistry. Had training in both life science and software engineering. Standard premed science major chemistry experience. Business experience in chemical engineering fields

What sort of science vertical do you specialise in? Any links to your startup?

> What combination of physical chemistry and Umph/some other process would you look into?

I can't speak for chemistry but pre-COVID, "cloud laboratories" and "bioreactors-as-as-service" were really hot in the biotech field. I suppose something similar can be done for chemistry.

Lego mindstorms style kits for flow chemistry could also be interesting.

As for teaching chemistry, I am not sure how the process can be improved. I suppose focusing more on conceptual understanding rather than intuition would be helpful. The amount of knowledge that is needed as a foundation before you can do anything useful in organic chemistry is magnitudes greater than physical. If it can be googled in under a minute, don't expect students to memorize it. Physical is much more straightforward, learn the periodic table and be good at applied math and you are set. You can train chemical engineers as easily as web developers in a bootcamp (given the right STEM background). Good organic chemists are much trickier.
I wonder if another factor could be:

- in higher performing schools, parents fund a number expenses directly through a very active PTA, so those expenses don't show up in the school's official spending per pupil, while

- at lower performing schools with less active and more impoverished PTAs, those same expenses must be funded by school budgets, driving up their official per-pupil spending.
What if equal access to educational opportunities is a contribution to the problem of less supportive families? Hence why we are having this conversation.
It's probably time to stop letting people in our society that are not building up systems terrorize the rest of us with scarcely hidden threats of slandering your name as a racist. There is nothing racist about having a merit based system within education. If the problem is that it is not entirely merit based, the solution comes from improving the on ramp, not from destroying the program. We should treat people who want to tear down systems like this as radicals trying to cause harm, not well-meaning individuals trying to build equality. We have been increasing equality for decades by building up systems, and to act like everything in existence now is racist and invalid is absurd.

My experience with public school gifted programs was simple. The gifted program was not significantly better in what they taught, or how they taught it. The gifted programs only major advantage was that the people who were there wanted to be there, and worked to do well. This allowed us to move faster, and go deeper into topics. In non-gifted classes, students could not care less about what the class was doing that day and hated that they were trapped there. Some students definitely worked hard in non-gifted classes, but in my experience, that was the exception.
I’ve recently become friends with someone from the inner city “hood”. It’s just unbelievable. Like someone below said, it’s not about race as much as poverty. The sad thing from what I’ve seen is the culture is self-destructive. Instead of trying to help each other up and out, many pull others back down (economically, socially, etc). I used to naively think I had answers, but after seeing the breath and depth of the problem I have no idea what would help.

That's a fair point. Though I would argue that improving controls around voters make it easier to detect election fraud. If you can tie each vote to a real person, it becomes very difficult to add an arbitrary number of anonymous votes to a candidate, like how Michael “Ozzie” Myers was doing.

If we're looking at it from a cost-benefit perspective, the ability to ensure that election fraud isn't happening (which disenfranchises all voters) is more important than the downsides of extra voter requirements (which may disenfranchise a much smaller number of voters).
There's no H2S in propane, although there's a little methyl mercaptan in it as an odourant so it "smells of gas". As for the NOx emissions I'm not sure why it's lower as in theory it should burn hotter - LPG runs lean which is why there's no CO, but that should make more NOx.
As a non-American what's wrong with asking for voter ID? A particular party pushing for open border and waving voter ID requirement seems like a ploy to influence the election. I am open to hear how people can justify both of these policies at at the same time.
dev/prod divergence isn't the reason to do dev in the cloud. The reason you do dev in the cloud is dev/other-dev divergence.

I'm a big fan of doing dev in the cloud (at least for work, no way I'm doing that for personal projects). Currently we use Gitpod, it works pretty well. Spinning up new people is easy, and so is keeping everyone's environment up to date with each other.

But even in the bright shiny future of 2030 the dev environment is always going to differ from the production environment because... developers need a bunch of stuff in their image that you don't want installed in production.
Yep. Most of the people I know don't want to pay subscription fees for cloud services, when their own desktops are powerful enough to run what they're working on.

People can mutually agree to relationships based on roles. Multiple groups can network with each other and make further agreements, or one group can voluntarily decide to model parts of itself after another.

I don't think most anarchists would complain about senior bakers, or senior/elder/educated people generally, sharing advice, if that's what you mean, as long as all relationships remain voluntary.

I think it depends on what the rules are. A lot of rules encode social and class norms rather than actually achieve a pedagogical goal. Classic examples of this is forcing kids to use "proper" grammar rather than AAVE or forcing left-handed kids to write with the right hand.

Or allow that school to recruit better teachers over time or have fewer students per teacher.
I think a lot of the equity advocates fail to admit things just aren't working right now. So if you say you'll just pull your kids and send them private, they'll say that we need to force all kids into public schools. There's no middle ground.
I am too authentic to work at FAANG. My salary as staff eng. is roughly equivalent but I can argue, throw a fit, change direciton, say my opinion etc etc every day. I push through friction, I ignore managers, I do things my way. I ask for forgiveness not permission because I have a bias for action not confirmation.

Software engineering interviews do not value authenticity, typically. They want you to say what they want to hear. I purposely go in the opposite direction. I am always myself, say how I feel, and challenge the interviewer.

My girlfriend ( soon to be wife ) has no issues getting any job she wants in software engineering. She will recite exactly the words they want to hear, and they love her. I will say exactly what I want to say in an interview and they will love or hate me. I have no intention of changing.

My best advice? Leave for a smaller company that lets you do whatever you want to do and perform at an exceptional level. You get the same satisfaction, same pay, and you may only be 1 step down from VP. You can grab VP's, C's for a comment, you can do whatever you want ( as long as you perform ).

That's the way. For me at least.
Title didn't mean much at all. Officially I was an Assistant VP on a fixed term contract instead of an Intern, but this was over the traditional internship months and between University years.

Main differences were:

- There was no interview, I spoke to a Director for 15 minutes who happened to be visiting a professor I knew at University (sheer luck/fluke).

- Building a team of full time employees as an intern is pretty unusual. That team went on after my internship.

- Really open-ended (I was just dropped into the Data Science team and told "do something useful").

The tl;dr is that I'm offering a full-stack framework that takes advantage of vanilla JavaScript and HTML in a front-end framework combined with a plain ol' HTTP back-end using Node.js. The APIs abstract just enough to make you productive but not so much that you can't reason about how it'd work without the framework.

The long shot of the project being to keep the mental model of "how the web works" intact while reducing the burden of doing everything from scratch.
> and saying that it doesn't happen?

Why yes, that is a strawman. I know a bunch of people who think that voter fraud is rare. Clearly it's not zero, because a few people get caught double voting every year.
I had thought of this. Unfortunately I think his price will be exorbitantly high based on the time he put in. I also am not convinced that there is really much value in the code itself, it just puts me slightly ahead of square one in a new venture. Based on some comments it sounds like the code without the developer is actually quite worthless, so I'm coming around to it being OK that I don't have any rights to it should I leave.
> Misleading at best as the "tests" they are talking about are not gifted assessment tests, but rather standardized testing which I don't think is that great of an indicator. I was in the gifted program during middle school, and that was predicated by a few admittance tests, one of them being IQ.

Yes, a student who studies hard may get good academic test scores, but may do poorly on gifted admittance tests. They're testing two different things. The former tests ability to understand class content, the other tests the ability to solve problems which are not part of school curriculum.
I'm surprised it is even elected. I was an election judge when I was 18 in Illinois as part of high school project. You just sign up and attend a 2 hour class.

It was fun. The other judge at my poll location was a guy who served in the Wehrmacht during WWII (was conscripted at age 14).

But I easily could have stuffed the box. Most people don't vote. At 7:45pm, you could just vote for people who didn't show up. Nobody but the other judge would have the chance of stopping you.
