> Longtermism is a quasi-religious worldview, influenced by transhumanism and utilitarian ethics, which asserts that there could be so many digital people living in vast computer simulations millions or billions of years in the future that one of our most important moral obligations today is to take actions that ensure as many of these digital people come into existence as possible.

Is this an accurate description of longtermism, or just Salon playing the internet media outrage game?

> States banned math books for being too woke.

> being asked to breathe children’s germs

Ok.

This article is basically a long rant, and this kind of teacher is exactly what contributed to the burning out of my wife as a teacher. She wanted to teach math, but was being asked to teach social justice math.

> I mean, they’re letting anyone in the classroom now. I’m surprised they haven’t started recruiting the homeless.

Is this a dig at the latest Desantis bill to fast track veterans into teaching roles?

Another complaint, my wife went to one of the highest ranked schools in the country, and was just shy of the minimum gpa requirement to go into the public school system right out of college. Instead she went and taught at charter schools, and her students regularly outperformed other schools in the network with math scores. But she wasn't qualified to teach math until she did a graduate program that had nothing to do with math. She quit the graduate school program because she was being graded on her ability to be inclusive in the classroom and it was a rubric designed for pushing equity and social justice, when again...she was trying to teach math. She would have been just "anyone" being allowed to teach in a classroom.
Only one difficulty: I like to look at Kindle books "Look inside" feature on amazon.com and Lockdown Mode messes this up. It takes me about 10 seconds to disable Lockdown for amazon.com domain, and when I am done previewing a book it takes another 10 seconds to re-enable it. The end result is that I don't preview as many potential Kindle purchases.

Well yeah that's how every insurance works, including private ones. You are put in a pool together with others who may be more or less costly than you on average. Not just insurance either. If you're buying stuff at all you're paying a premium for stuff you're often not using, eg customer support, return policies, marketing etc.

One you accept that you never have identical cost/benefit with others, we're just talking what level is acceptable, and what services should be covered. People seem fine with paying for fire departments, even though some people live in wooden houses and have candles at night. Healthcare has a similarly low fraud incentive, and is generally not something we "invest" in. Most of the world has recognized that and arrange it through a publicly funded system.

Okay, let's back up a little. You were replying about a comment that said:

> Yes, every codepoint is 32 bits, but every character can be made up of one or more codepoints.

And you expressed surprise and incredulity at the idea. I explained that a "character" (which, given the context, is to be taken as a "grapheme") can, indeed, take up more than one code point. This has nothing to do with UTF-32, UTF-8, or .NET's implementation. It's inherent to how Unicode works.

As an even more obvious example, try to figure out how many bytes are in the character ȃ encoded as UTF-32, using whatever method you'd like. (I say "more obvious" because you'll be forced to copy-paste the character I've used in your code editor.) Other examples include emojis such as this one: https://emojipedia.org/woman-golfing/ (that I can't use in the comment box for some reason).

Then for some reason you felt compelled to offer a rebuttal that showed you didn't understand the difference between a grapheme and a code point. So I just linked some doc. I'm not attacking you.
7000$ is a pitance. Maybe this case is simple, but many will not be. Say they raid a house and confiscate a hard drive. Encrypted or not, that is going to be a huge thing. Arguments will be made about whether anything incriminating was stored on that drive. Just google the cost of a forensic expert witness. Both sides will need one.

Such costs are actually why so many police agencies are backing off of CP investigations. They still prosecute where evidence is clear, such as when someone emails such material openly, but they arent willing to invest the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to handle the complex cases involving encrypted communication/storage. 7000$ would be a bare minimum for only the simplest of legal defenses in the simplest of cases.
NHS and Medicare have historically had both very efficient allocation of resources and excellent health outcomes. This NHS argument is about new data that to me seems impossible to deconflate with a global pandemic.

Basically, libertarians are just wrong on this. Government-run health care works great and we have many decades of evidence showing that.

The thing to compare to is the jobs the teachers could do if they weren't teachers. All of them have college degrees, many have masters degrees. The comparison point should be generic white collar office jobs, which are pretty much all easier (and especially, less annoying), higher paying, and more respected.
The 'remote' neighbourhoods, generally commuted via trains or trams, could themselves be designed to be walkable:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcar_suburb

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0

So your work neighbourhood is walkable and your home/sleeping neighbourhood are walkable, it's just your commute that you don't perhaps walk (or cycle). Pre-WW2 / pre-car towns and villages outside of major metropolitan areas were reachable by train, but themselves pedestrian-based.
Biggest problem with the graphics here is general unevenness. Some stuff looks really good which makes the less great parts stick out even more.

Many textures shown here were bit low-res so that pixelation/blurriness is visible in closeups, in cockpit, plane exterior, and ground. Small thing but the tires looked very bad, sticking out like sore thumb. In cockpit you can also see (because the low-res textures) how some of the fasteners are just textures and not geometry, making them look bit off.

> The lighting on the interior views was unrealistic, but I think that’s a conscious decision to make the controls legible?

Maybe, but on the other hand DCS has fully shaded cockpits and I haven't heard much complaints about legibility there.
I volunteer with kids, and I see parents who prioritize sports where they have to pay a lot of money for fees over more scholastic and much cheaper programs for the smaller chance of getting a sports scholarship/career than more plentiful academic scholarships.

I don't know if they think their children just aren't capable intellectually or what.
I don't have a BS in Education (BA in Philosophy), which means you have to go through their M. Ed. program with licensure.

Grad school at the UMN is ~$10k a semester (https://onestop.umn.edu/finances/costs/tuition). Would have been ~30 years old, $40k in debt as a beginning teacher in MN. Amazingly, none of that includes actual experience teaching lol.

The teachers union has been waging a war against future teachers to benefit current teachers for 30 years and this is what that looks like after 30 years.

Similar to housing and zoning, education is a government racket.

The US has always experienced relentless political activism against public education. This creates a climate where teachers, and the institution they work in, are actively hated by a wide swath of the public. This is due in no small part to proponents of religious education.

It's true that teachers receive an above-average salary, but that can be both a blessing and a curse. The curse is that your wages are a matter of public record, and more than half of voters earn less then you, though teaching their precious children should be a privilege.

A second thing is that schools are the repository of social problems that they can't solve, including poverty, racism, the proliferation of firearms, and rise of violent rhetoric.

My state outlawed the teachers' union several years ago, and a lot of senior teachers took early retirement or went into other jobs. Most were old enough that they had settled into their lifestyle, and weren't going to get rich by changing careers. The word they used the most was "respect." My neighbor, one of the best teachers in the district, is now working as an engineer. His spouse is a mid six figure executive.

That's what lots of people want - I can assure you, I know quite a few - but the British left attacks anyone so viciously and nastily that they aren't ever going to admit it to anyone seen in the vicinity of a Guardian.

The NHS has collapsed since COVID. No, it isn't due to lack of funding, that's a lie. NHS funding has increased massively under the Conservatives who haven't talked about even limited privatisation for the last decade or more. The reason it collapsed is that rigid commands and control systems cannot cope with change and the NHS was already dysfunctional before that. When they emptied the hospitals they created a massive backlog that they already knew they could never catch up on even with more funding.

At any rate it's irrelevant. The excess deaths are much more likely to be vaccine linked despite the collapsed state of the NHS. The timing, causes of death and split between vaxxed and unvaxxed doesn't really work for the theory it's lockdown caused.

I think the part he said the pace is set for the mediocre students to be able to finish their degree made his point very clear. Then going from specific to the general. More concretely, school pace is set for below average students so if you're average or above average then you don't have to follow that same speed. Once you apply this logic to life in general you'll encounter numerous other areas where the pace is also set very low and you'll do much better if you pay no attention to it.

> Is this a dig at the latest Desantis bill to fast track veterans into teaching roles

Her comparison of veterans to homeless people speaks volumes about where she is coming from. As I understand it, the DeSantis bill allows veterans who have 60 credits and pass a subject exam to get a provisional teaching certificate while they complete their degree: https://flgov.com/2022/08/17/governor-ron-desantis-highlight.... That sounds like a great idea.
The best way to solve this is to DE-regulate. Make Google etc explicitly not responsible for proactively monitoring people's private data and then said data will remain private.
And there's no evidence that these graduate degree requirements are needed or beneficial for quality teaching. They're just as baseless as requiring people - many of them poor and marginalized - to spend tens of thousands of dollars and do months of coursework before they're "licensed" to cut hair.

Well-intentioned rank-and-file teachers must realize that their union superiors advocate for some of the reasons their profession burns them out.

Proof of Stake and Proof of Work only impact the consensus model of the network (i.e. how new blocks are added), but for network participants that do not participate on consensus there is no difference. Just like in Bitcoin or in Ethereum now, you can run a node without participating in mining or staking.

If you run an Ethereum node now, it will still be the same after the Merge, and not somehow less valid. It will still check the correctness of all the transactions, as it does now.

I think a large cause of this confusion is the "validator" terminology; calling nodes that produce blocks through staking validators makes people think that normal nodes don't validate or check anything, but this is not correct.

> Because they are not in contact with our authorities and, frankly, the chances my private files will be of any interest for Chinese authorities are close to zero.

The problems that befell the fellow in this story were not due to Google being in contact with the authorities. The authorities unobtrusively investigated, determined that the reports were false positives, and closed the case.

If all Google had done was contact authorities he would have never even known that he was investigated, and there would have been no impact at all on his life.

China has bans in most of the same categories that the US and other western countries do, but typically broader (e.g., they broadly ban pornography). If ISPs there are on the lookout for things China bans you are probably more likely to have a false positive there than with a western ISP.

The question then is a Chinese ISP more likely to overreact on a false positive than a western ISP? I believe China is more likely to hold a business responsible for the bad acts of that businesses customers, which I expect would lead to Chinese businesses being more likely to overreact.
