For me, a teacher's goals should not be restricted to enacting a lecture in front of a whiteboard, but also amongst others, to be able to provide feedback in a motivating manner, which seems not to have always been great here [1], and also to grade students with a grade distribution not too far away from the university's goal, which he also didn't seem to do at all.

That said, the firing of this teacher seems to have mostly been triggered by the public outcry, which is becoming a worrying trend at Western institutions.

It's the underlying prudishness at various layers (some of it is only historical, some of it lives in the present to varying degrees in various sub-populations) which makes the rebellious "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll" thing a thing at all.

Wetness is a property of the liquid, not of the solid. So, a surface is wet because it has a liquid on it, but the liquid is always wet.

It's like saying "blue things are things that are painted blue, but blue paint isn't painted blue, so it's not blue." Paint is the thing that makes the things blue, and is blue itself.

I think this news is more perception than anything else, Debian already allowed non-free, but now is including that in the installer, aligning both, which seems to make sense if only enabled manually after asking the user

But in general seems like an unnecessary identity crises, catering for the wrong user base. Most people can't use Debian stable for daily desktop. In my opinion most of the Debian user base is enterprise and this move does no improvement but causes perception questions. Maybe they will start to consider other options NixOS, Guix, CoreOS, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora

From https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-democrats-win-in-a...

> 40 percent of voters had chosen Peltola as their first choice, 31 percent had chosen Palin and 29 percent had chosen Republican businessman Nick Begich III. Under the rules of ranked choice voting, Begich — as the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes — was then eliminated, and his votes were redistributed to whomever his voters ranked second.

> Unsurprisingly, most of Begich’s votes (50 percent) went to his fellow Republican, Palin. But an impressive 29 percent went to Peltola, and 21 percent were “exhausted,” meaning there was no second-choice pick, and the votes were essentially thrown out. That combination was enough for Peltola to win. While Palin gained more votes from the redistribution than Peltola did, Peltola was starting from a higher total, and receiving 29 percent of Begich’s votes was enough to keep her ahead of Palin. In the end, Peltola received 51 percent of the votes counted in the final round, while Palin received 49 percent.

Sounds fair to me. Some of Begich’s voters expressed a “Begich or nobody” preference. Many Begich voters expressed a “Peltola over Palin” preference. It’s not clear to me why pairwise preferences are meaningful, they don’t encode nuances like the above.

The objection about the spoiler effect is confusing to me. I see that there are certain situations where ex post, you get some weird outcomes where _hypothetically_ ranking your preferred candidate lower would have helped your candidate. But I don't think it's possible to identify these cases ex ante, and I don't see how they can in practice affect anyone's voting strategy. (Though maybe it's enough to get bad press like https://electionscience.org/commentary-analysis/rcv-fools-pa...?)

I think you can spin these technical narratives like "you threw your votes away because, if there had been a head-to-head it would have gone differently". But taking a simple explanation of what happened like the above, it's hard for me to see why the result is actively unfair.

> for example, I'm at a loss to understand how athletics might predict success in computer science programs (grit, maybe?)

Grit, leadership, team work, the crucible of (a different type of) competition, tactics and strategy, etc. Again, not sports in general, but specifically being good enough at a sport to get a D1 or D2 scholarship, requires significant discipline and inter-personal skills.

(I also think tech folks under-appreciate that physical movement is a type of intelligence that might just correlate well with certain types of high-stress/low-information decision making... at least as well as IQ correlates with similar types of things... but that's an evidence-free conjecture on my part.)

> there's probably a reasonable argument that the four-factor (academic, extracurricular, athletic, personal) model creates more systematic biases than it avoids. But what you're saying is pretty accurate.

That's definitely true -- eg a student from outside the college-going class or without enough economic capital wouldn't be able to participate in niche sports and become elite by virtue of big fish/small point dynamics. And their parent wouldn't have friends who could give advice or open doors. But, do note that the student in the referenced paragraph is not a victim of that type of systematic bias. His father, a partner at IBM, is exactly the type of person who is positioned to provide those unfair advantages.

> The 3d printer doesn't change anything meaningful about the situation.

This much I agree with. 3d printing has never been the easiest or most effective way of making your own gun. It's a complete meme which caught on because 3d printing captures the imagination in a unique way. Just mentioning 3d printing gets people to suspend critical thought.

Case in point: "3D-Printed Bullets Exist, And They're Terrifyingly Easy To Make" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/3d-printed-bullets_n_3322370

The "3d printed bullet" is a fucking joke, why would anybody shoot a slug of 3d printed plastic instead of.. I don't know, a fucking rock? A fishing weight? Casting their own bullet? It makes no sense, but you get a breathless panicking article from HuffPost about it anyway because ooooooo 3d printing.
I don't understand why some gun rights advocates point out that the current regulations make no sense for 3D printed guns.

NZ and a great many European countries use neither plurality voting nor RCV-IRV for their nationwide legislative elections. (France and some US states use a two-round system, which is essentially a bastardised form of RCV-IRV.)

Some European countries (at least France and Ireland) use RCV-IRV or a two-round system for their presidential elections, but Australia, NZ and several European countries are constitutional monarchies, and therefore don't have presidential elections.

Differences would be about staffing. For any given specialty, having C++ skills too is common.

Finding somebody with needed skills and also Rust experience will be impossible, so you would either need to plan on training up some Ruster on the specialty, or hire somebody already up on it with C++ skills and expect them to pick up enough Rust to get by.
> Most psychiatric treatments either don't work or have terrible side effects.

Well, yes; even talking therapy can have side-effects (and talking therapy often doesn't work). But I take it you're referring to treatment with anti-psychotic drugs. They have bad side-effects; but they work pretty consistently, in the sense that they suppress delusions and delusional behaviour.

> jailing many of these patients indefinitely.

That's never the right solution, unless you happen to be the owner of a private secure psychiatric clinic. You confine a patient while you medicate them, and release them a few months later, once they've convinced you they'll take their pills. Then you monitor them in the community, ideally indefinitely.

> It's definitely not like taking antibiotics.

It surely is not like taking antibiotics. Anti-psychotic drugs are very blunt instruments, including the more recent ones. If you had those side-effects, you'd correctly conclude that the drugs were making you ill.

Google uses research, published models, and data that was freely shared with them and iterates on it, making use of their vast budgets and hardware, to develop new models. Then, Google uses those models internally and doesn't share the models. This is a violation of academic norms under the pretense of "safety". As I characterized previously Google is able to do whatever they want, conceal their results, and impede progress and understanding because they aren't sharing their results. You say this isn't a "fair characterization" but it is exactly what is happening - which part is wrong?

You say that Google doesn't "owe the public anything" and that may, or may not, be true from a legal standpoint, but obviously, from a norms, ethical, and moral standpoint Google does have a massive obligation to the public that they are breeching. Google uses the public's data to train, public research, and publicly shared models to iterate on. Then, after building on the shoulders of giants, Google refuses to share what they have built in contravention of the norms that they benefit from.

Regarding your chair metaphor - the "danger" of these models, if there is such, is not that they would hurt the user, like a faulty chair, but that they could be used to hurt others - e.g. a bot army to manipulate public opinion or create fake news. Google isn't building a chair that might break and hurt the user then, but a gun that might hurt others. It's true that guns shouldn't be widely available - not even a die hard libertarian would want a child to have access to a gun, but the entity that sets rules regarding availability is a representative government for the people for whom those rules are being set - not a private company. In other words, if these tools can cause harm they should be regulated by the government, not Google. If the tools are dangerous, that is not an argument that Google should keep them secret.

I get the author's point but this is kind of an odd read. He did finish the horse inasmuch as possible. He made full clay models. He never completed it only because Ludovico needed the bronze to make cannons for defense instead. But that's not his fault.

> misunderstanding several aspects of the heart

> to the Mona Lisa - which in itself is unfinished

I don't know. He worked on it for 4 years, taking it with him everywhere, and if it is really unfinished it may be because his right hand was simply starting to paralyze. There's more to be said about perfectionism in the Mona Lisa than Leonardo syndrome.

Leonardo definitely started far more than he could finish (disappointing a lot of patrons), and had a somewhat self-aggrandizing streak in what he claimed he could do, but the examples here are not super accurate. As much as I wasn't crazy about the Walter Isaacson bio its worth reading if you want a better picture of his accomplishments and failures.

At the end of the day he is remembered because he did actually have a very large set of detailed ideas, drawings, plans, and accomplishments. Most of us would love to have created a work of art as unfinished as the Mona Lisa.

> RCVs many glaring problems

But all the voting methods have glaring problems, and every method is going to result in people complaining after their preferred candidate loses but would have won using another method.

RCV isn't going to poison the well any more than other systems. STAR voting and approval voting, for example, open themselves up to the criticism that voting itself becomes a subjective process, which could "poison the well" even more. When people have to worry about what it means to give a 3 vs a 4 to a candidate, or whether to approve 1 or 2 or 3 people?

Ranking candidates is an objectively accurate statement of preference (in contrast to STAR/approval which are subjective), and while instant runoff isn't perfect, it's easy to understand and doesn't result in absurd outcomes or people not understanding how to vote.

You can criticize RCV for sure, but if you want to defend another method, you have to show how its drawbacks aren't even worse.
