I was homeschooled: k-11. I have a graduate degree. My sibling has a similar path. The academics I received as a homeschooler were, frankly, probably 90th percentile, maybe more. Yet, simply going to a good school district with good teachers and supportive parents would, in all likelihood, have given me similar outcomes. And now, looking back twenty-plus years later, I don't think that it produced a materially different effect than others of my age group. Certainly my family's homeschooling did wonders for our academics; others in the homeschool group variously finished high school or did minor college. Nothing remarkable. Just like the public school kids - some did great, some did ok, some scraped by.

Barring some _exceptionally_ unusual cases - lets say 4th std dev cases, I feel, sharply, that homeschooling is a bad idea.

On a broad social level, it removes expected bodies of knowledge suitable for having a useful society; on an individual level, it leaves them in a bad place for interacting with peers. I also believe that most parents are not qualified to actually supervise modern education past a certain grade level- being a parent is a remarkably easy thing to start doing, after all.

The social interaction is a profound and subtle problem. There's this thing about dealing with the mass of peers that homeschooling doesn't teach - but the work world and other situations require. This is not going to come with homeschooling.

I also note, in passing, that I am assuming that parents are _trying_ to do exceptional education and are not trying to play particularly ideological games. In other words, something roughly analogous to normal schooling goals. However. This assumption does not hold true in much of homeschooling discourse. Much of homeschooling is an explicit religious approach; some of the homeschooling curricula and groups are actually a religious-political project attempting to build political power with an alternative education system outside. So discussions of homeschooling have to address that elephant in the room.

Also in passing, any homeschooling policy worth its salt should ensure that children are simply not being educationally or personally neglected; those cases do exist, unfortunately.

tl;dr: don't homeschool. take it from a former homeschooled kid. send the kid to a good public school, please.
If you look at the page for the gr765 the parent poster linked to, you can see that the customer can choose the gr765 with either SPARC or RISC-V cores. I think you're right that the plan is to transition to RISC-V, given that the SPARC ecosystem otherwise is pretty moribund.

Non-payment is not that straight-forward, but is still a very powerful tool:

1. You cannot serve the remaining 50-60% of customers at the same cost, leading to cascading shut-offs

2. Electricity can also be stolen in many ways and this is exactly what happens:

That piece ( https://www.theonion.com/mikhael-gorbachev-last-soviet-leade... ) is definitely satire. It's one of their fake reactions/public comments pieces, where fictitious people give funny reactions to real events.

The Onion does those regularly, and their format doesn't really work for the OP since their headlines are straight and factual.

BART and CalTrain have very few connection points with Muni. The CalTrain people would get off at 4th & King and a relatively small percentage would take the 3rd street streetcar.

The primary BART connection points are near the Embarcadero. Muni is so slow from the SOMA that it is often easier and faster to walk to/from those BART stops. Oftentimes, instead of MUNI, you saw people with scooters or bikes.

The people going to the other BART stops don't need to connect to MUNI. They could be working for the city and can just get right out and walk a few blocks.

The tech people I knew detested BART and completely ignored MUNI. It was Uber for them.
What's your thought on my note-taking system?
Over dacades I try a lot of note-taking apps and none of them suits me well. So I end up building my own note-taking system. It's a simple terminal-based client with a set of commands to create/search/manipulate markdown files. I use Vim for editing. And there is a command to sync the whole note folder to my github private repo.

Some features of the system:

- single folder
All file are stored in one single folder without subfolders. No need to categorize every single note. Several years ago I did have some sub-directories base on subjects. I found it time-consuming to maintain as my notes grow, and it didn't really benefit a lot.

- search
The `search` command is the most frequently used command. I implement a relative simple ranking function to rank candidate searching results, taking account of factors like last access/modify time, number of matches, how many times file was opened, etc. And It works super well for me. Most of the time the one I want is in the top three.

- todo
I write TODOs in different note files, which give me more context about each TODO item. A TODO item looks like `[TODO|20221201|something to do]`. And the `todo` command will just grep all the TODOs from all of my notes using regex matching.

- cards
Every time I open the client, it will show me a random segment from a random note. If I have new thoughts on it I can go and check it out. Maybe I will try implementing something like FlashCard in the future.

Recently I talk with a friend of mine. He liked the idea and said I should probably make it available to others. Let me know what you guys think about it. Which feature you like? Which feature you wish to have? What does your ideal note-taking system look like?

Thanks!
They use special signing software (dirk or web3signer) that can have the keys split accross several physical machines. If they have separate access credentials for each system, it makes it difficult for anyone to have access to the complete keys. Then a central validator client can request signatures from each signer to complete attestations and block proposals.

Production is usually not within the jurisdiction of cities (as they are produced elsewhere and shipped there usually), so cities are limited in what they can do.

u/jiggawatts is saying that you or others can always build a thing (a language, in this case URI q-params) that is itself vulnerable to injection attacks even if under the covers you were using an injection-proof SQL.

This is obviously true. In that sense my statement that u/jiggawatts was responding to is in some way very much incorrect. But my statement was specifically about SQL injection, and not about things one might build with an injection-proof SQL.

It's a quibble, though an important one.
How do they plan to achieve that? Simply have the state fork the bill and fund it through taxes?

Sure energy costs will be high for the next few years, that's the reality. Nothing anyone could do about it.

And no, nuclear is not the answer: even if we take nations where permissioning and red tape is not a problem at all (Russia), nuclear takes a LONG LONG LONG time. Belarusian nuclear plant was being built for 14 years now and still only one of the reactors is operating. So it's about 15 years lead time. In 15 years, energy issues will be solved with renewables, before nuclear will kick in.
Wow, I had to check your facts here, and I can’t believe it. The US federal healthcare spending is very close to the UK healthcare spending, but we cover WAY less for individuals.

The US federal govt spends >8% of GDP on healthcare, with the current system of all of our insurance and payments and everything that we have to pay in addition, totaling nearly 20% of GDP: https://www.crfb.org/papers/american-health-care-health-spen...

The UK spent 9.6% of GDP on healthcare in that same year (2017) for their publicly-funded full healthcare system: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...
I get "WebGL is not available" on an Intel Mac Pro, macOS 12.5.1, Firefox Developer 105.0b8. ("Intel Mac Pro" is redundant at the time of this writing, but hopefully not for long!)

On the same Mac, I get "Your browser is not supported" for Safari 15.6.1, and Safari Technology Preview R152 (Safari 16.0) with "WebGL 2.0" and "WebGL Draft Extensions" enabled under "Experimental Features."

Using Ungoogled Chromium 105.0.5195.102 (I refuse to use Chrome), the site actually seems to leave the GPU in a messed-up state, going on to cause severe rendering problems in other applications. I'm not sure if this is a Chromium bug or a macOS bug or both.
The technology that would allow us to survive on Mars could probably allow us to build self contained underground habitats that could survive a meteor, solar flare or even being flung out into deep space. Only something that actually resurfaced the planet, or destroyed it completely would actually require us to leave.

The most likely cause of Earth’s total destruction is our Sun turning into a red giant in a few billion years.

Energy company: "Ok!" turns off service
> If I spend 20 years accumulating baseballs

I'm sorry, that has no relationship whatsoever to the subject. I could take it apart piece by piece. Still, it would be an exercise in futility.

Here's one that might highlight the nature of the problem:

Imagine you burn a cubic meter of wood at the base of a building with twenty floor. All internal doors and stairs are open, so the smoke and gasses can go everywhere. Particles can travel into cracks, air ducts, all kinds of places and land.

A few hours later the fire is out.

Now go and remove all gasses dispersed through the building and recover every particle deposited on every surface across twenty floors.

First. It's impossible.

Second. If you really wanted to attempt such a feat, it would require more energy and resources --by orders of magnitude-- than what went into creating the mess in the first place.

Third. It would take exponentially more time than what it took to consume the pile of wood.

Now take that and extrapolate to a planetary scale.

Well, it is entirely the state's fault - it wasn't me who cut off the only reasonably priced supplier who can provide enough supply in the name of some retarded ideology...
so I get that energy prices are high, and I get that this has a cascading effect on, well, everything.

I'm not really sure though that energy prices can be controlled by govts.

(the comparison with the Poll Tax is somewhat irrelevant because the poll tax was 100% dreamed up by the govt, and was a new tax out of fresh air).

Energy is however a commodity, and prices are set internationally either by private companies, or other govts (eg Russia).

Yes there are taxes on energy, but that's just taxes, if they don't get the money there, they'll get it somewhere else.

So given that the underlying price is set by extra-govt entities, who have plenty of customers elsewhere, I'm not sure that most govts have control over energy they would like.

A better long-term solution is to a) Foster the use of less energy overall, better house insulation, electric cars etc and b) grow home-produced energy (wind etc.) if those reduce dependancies on oil and gas then that's likely a nice byproduct.

Of course these won't change by Oct 1.

So yeah, I get people are hurting, I'm just not sure there's a lot a single nation (which imports energy) can do much about it.
Rather than destructive action ("Do as we wish or we will hurt you!") I prefer productive action.

If one million people came together to put solar panels on roofs - that would be cool!

We could have a giant forum where we plan on helping each other by raising funds, sourcing the materials, negotiating with landlords, hiring contractors ...

If something is really important to you, how much would you donate? $10? $100? $1000? Imagine every one of the one million people this campaign aims for would donate $100. We could put solar on roofs for $100000000. Solar panels that will reduce the need to buy from the energy companies for decades.

There is a vegan activist from the UK named Ed Winters who has some damning content about abattoirs and animal agriculture in general in the country. He’s very eloquent and diligent about sourcing good data, and it seems as though your suspicions about butchers selling questionable meat is astute.

Where I live it’s not better. The average piece of meat comes from a slice of hell in some feedlot or crowded enclosure, labelling laws make it look okay, and people carry on and eat it. Butchers selling nicer meat have variable suppliers and, when I was eating meat, I’d notice over time that supplier quality was gradually decreasing and never increasing. Like they started with these great ideals and eventually had to give in and be able to reliably get a product and a decent margin off of it. Meat is a major casualty of the race to the bottom.
I actually expect it to be adopted for something other than art. Probably things like contracts.
1. You cannot do that without bumping the price for the few remaining customers.
2. In some EU countries you would have problems with human rights legislation.
Nope that's not how it works. Unfortunately in North America we are so brainwashed that we forget that mass protests really work.

That sounds cool. Are you going to pay for those millions of solar panels? If so, sign me up.

> This crisis is a profit-price spiral caused by wholesale gas and oil producers. There should be no more public subsidies for profiteering. Gas and oil companies should pay for this crisis in its entirety via their record profits.

Yes, the username is "http" the password is "//http://"

The : separates the username and password (it's not part of either).

The url-path is "/http://?http://#http://" which can be further broken down into /abs_path, ?query and #fragment.

Edit: Also further correction to gp is that the hostname is "http" not "@http://".

The @ is the separator between username:password@hostname the : separates the port, which is omitted, and defaults to 80 for a http URI scheme and the first / separates the host:port portion from the path (which, in this case, happens to start with a /)
I'm sure NASA has an enormous amount of hard-earned in-house expertise in rad-hardened electronics, hard real-time safety critical software, and related things. But how much of that knowledge is tied specifically to the POWER ISA? Not much, would be my guess.

I've been following POWER at a distance, and while I'm sure the ISA itself is good enough, I'm not really convinced about the vitality of the ecosystem. The only place where serious money is being invested is in the high-end CPU's which IBM keeps developing enough to prevent their high-end captive customers from defecting. But at the lower end and embedded, it's crickets. Beyond some token efforts like the microwatt for FPGA's and an old supercomputer core design they open sourced, the whole OpenPOWER effort seems to be little more than a couple of guys producing the occasional powerpoint and press releases.
You mean Russia? There is no way anyone in the free world will ever depend on it for anything, even if it means civil war or mass dieoff. Russia has to be suppressed or at least isolated from the West to the point it can be ignored.

Secondly, UK never did. It never imported any considerable amounts of energy from Russia. What happens in UK now is consequence of lack of storage facilities "optimised" away by privatisation, combined with skyrocketing world prices because of Putin switching off gas (and no it wasn't done through sanctions, it was a one-sided Russian decision).

What could the West do? Just allow occupation of Ukraine doing nothing? And in any case, UK could not do anything. It's not even a member of EU anymore to veto any sanctions if it wanted to. It just happened to UK, an indirect effect.
Small quibble but broadly agree. In PoW you convert capital into electricity which then gets converted into coins. In PoS you convert capital into coins which then gets converted into more coins. Same starting material, same ending material, different intermediate steps. That's why my argument is that they're basically the same at the limit.

The years just prior to the explosion of these content algorithms were really magical.

Some time between P2P networks and piracy sites being shut down there was this amazing period of discovery. It seemed like it was mostly blogspot curated mega uploads of flac files. You could literally just curl huge, lossless,
obscure records that someone else found for you. It really felt like a beautiful flash in a pan. I’m sure a lot of people still have these files hanging around on hard drives but there’s no incentive to be the curator anymore.

There would be blogs of high quality vinyl and cd rips of
really thoughtfully curated clusters of types of music. I actually remember not being surprised when Kim Dotcom got arrested but being very bummed knowing the era was over.
