A lot of people forget about this point. Arbitrary municipal boundaries are set up all across the US to create pseudo-private schools that, while public, are really only accessible to people who can afford to live in the very pricy areas that make up those school district. I grew up in an affluent area and went to a private catholic high school. The public school I would have gone to had better average test scores and way more funding/resources than my school, and indeed the majority of the private schools in the area.
Kids are incredibly perceptive as to "what matters in this family". If parents show an interest in how the kid is doing in school, kids see that school is important. If parents show an interest in whether they won or lost a sports game, kids learn that's important. If parents show no interest but someone else does, whatever that person values takes on an outsized importance in the kids' life.

"Just being there to talk" is more than half the battle (but also more than half the time investment) pretty much no matter the topic.
This is similar to saying "Facebook is fundamentally built on data collection, and social networking is just a side effect." Technically true, but not much consolation for all the social networks that didn't go all in on advertising and perished.

Wish you the best of luck either way, this is an exciting area and more competition is great. They definitely are competition though.
Yeah... that's a bit harder to do with a gmail account...

Either really stupid --- or really smart.

He did nothing that was technically illegal --- because it was only play money --- i.e. not legal tender.

The really stupid people are those surrendering legal tender in order to play a game with "Monopoly Money".
On #1 -- It could be, but trying to stay narrowly focused. There are some great services out there like OpaVote that do a wide array of voting options and calculation methods.

On #2 -- That's a great point. And one that hopefully people start to better understand by using RankedVote and seeing all the "Rounds" happen at once. But, yeah, for many it's a new term. How would you make it more clear?
When to Use It's vs. Its: A Simple Rule to Avoid Embarrassment
Eh, in practice I don't have an issue with this, in principle though I disagree because they are targeting "misinformation" and not "disinformation". How I see it, disinformation is flat out false and fake. With misinformation though it starts getting subjective, a headline may be correct when you think about it one way, or misinformation if you think about it another way.
It wasn't a trading platform, and certainly wasn't doing the transactions on a blockchain. It was "lending" platform, where you deposited your crypto and earned interst. Apparently they loaned out your crypto to low risk individuals/companies etc. But turns out it was an outright scam.

By the way, there are legit decentralised blockchain based lending platforms like Aave.
I owned a Pixel 2XL, best phone I've ever had. Had a 5 and a 6 Pro, was so fed up with the bugs I ended up jumping ship to an iPhone 14 Pro. It's refreshing to have my phone actually work. I don't need to worry about the battery draining, not having signal because the modem sucks or it getting hot enough to fry an egg because I'm trying to upload photos to the cloud.
If you have enough followers, what prevents you from harassing another user anyway? Crowdsourced, targeted harassment already happens all the time.

This seems like it would just be a more convoluted and troublesome means to an already available end.
I don't mind, every phone has that now anyway. The big deal is that it isn't so asymmetrical, which I quite like visually and has practical benefits too (you can use it lying on a table).

This is a really useful thing to keep in mind because even if you aren't directly bound by a requirement to follow the NIST standards, being able to point your policy people at that is handy if you can shift the conversation to “bring our policy in line with NIST” where there's a question about whether they'll later look bad for _not_ having done so. Typically these conversations are driven by risk aversion and things like federal standards help balance that perspective.

The #1 reason is unmentionable
Most brokers- such as coinbase- perform their transactions using off chain methods. All the bitcoin in coinbase is held and owned directly by coinbase, and what users of coinbase actually have is a database table somewhere saying how much of coinbase's coins are marked as being owned by the user.

Celsius is similar, but they also offer a loan system on top of it. So the coins you give to celsius are not only no longer owned by you, but they're also not even present in a Celsuis wallet.
The DOJ is going after folks for front running [edit: better wording: insider trading, thx jcpham2 for pointing out my lazy language] NFTs on Coinbase. This is not a defense (“not real money”).

Even in your situation it doesn’t make sense to me to use ranked choice. Might as well use score voting so you can say how much more you prefer one candidate to another.

All voting systems have drawbacks, but I think approval is best relative to effort and impact.
When I visit the page Google knows I'm in the UK, and correctly routes me to the UK product page with UK pricing, and in a bright blue bar across the top of the page it suggests I trade in my old phone ... and get USD$400.

IF that is what harvard is doing why do they STRONGLY prefer black immigrants over descendants of slavery.
This is such a bad-faith comment and so dog-whistly that I feel wrong for even engaging with it, but I have to.

> Black people faced all the same obstacles in the sports arena?

No, African-Americans endured physical slavery for hundreds of years, leading to a disposition for physical work. Africans also come from a continent with the hottest average temperature, and in general are more athletically inclined.

And let's look past even that for a moment - why do you think some of the best players in the NBA are starting to come from Eastern Europe? Hmm, I wonder, could it have anything to do with the massive amount of investment into training and player facilities that is pouring into the area? Perhaps we could apply that analogy to academics as well, and realize the INCREDIBLY obvious fact that Asians tend to perform well because our parents have money to push us, we grow up in a culture surrounded by other kids who push us to do better, and we have _privilege_.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "race". It is an entirely privilege-driven issue (do you have resources, or do you not?), and if you still fail to see that, then you're most likely just letting your intrinsic bias/racism drive your thought process.
> If we get to the point where the USA depends on Chinese out migration in order to compete economically or militarily with China, China may well choose to turn off the spigot.

America's biggest advantage over other nations is our immigration system, regardless of the myriad issues it has. The best and brightest are born all over the world, and they immigrate to America. Even if China stops immigration, we still have the other 6/7ths of the world to pull from.
These companies explicitly and intentionally cultivated profit models built around providing services for free and subsidizing them with data collection and advertising. Their low revenue-per-user is a direct result of that, and if they can't afford to provide proper moderation, that's entirely their fault, and does not absolve them of the responsibility to provide it anyway.
You must not believe any statistics if you think sampling 85% of a 110k population can't resolve a score like this to 1%. Your original question, which I have been addressing, was about generalization to the population (i.e. what the margin of error quantifies) not nebulous "other areas."

I would expect a re-test to have slightly higher averages overall because all the kids now have experience with the class of questions, whereas only some did the 1st time.

But if the education system provides quality education with parental involvement, doesn't that imply that it provides quality education without parental involvement? You know, since parental involvement is not a part of the education system.

Or, in other words, if parental involvement IS a part of the educational system, then it's impossible for the system to provide good outcomes without parental involvement since, you know, it's part of the system.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm confused why some people seem to blame the educational system for lack of parental involvement in some demographics.

No. Approval voting is actually a minimized score voting system, and although intuitively a two-point feels like this should convey less information, the way the aggregation rule works (straight addition—or specifically in the approval voting case, tallying), you're actually extracting significantly more information out of a set of approval votes than you would from a ranked choice vote.

To put it another way: given a (sufficiently large) set of [0,1] score votes, you can generate a set of approval votes that give a very good estimate for the score voting results by mapping each score vote to an approval vote by randomly picking a number in [0,1) for each vote and marking options scored above that threshold. Handwaving a bit, this implies that at scale approval voting and arbitrary-precision score voting give the same results with pretty good probability.

Now, score voting with arbitrary precision pretty clearly conveys more information than ranked choice! You can extract an RCV from a score vote directly, but this loses substantial information about how far apart the options were rated. Conversely, if you extract a score vote from an RCV, you ... well, you can get something like Borda count. For other RCV aggregation algorithms a score vote extraction is not quite as clean, but it's substantially less clear whether the information "lost" is real or an accidental artifact of the RCV itself. Certainly you can argue all day over the merits of Borda count and variants vs other IRV aggregation algorithms, but then score voting with arbitrary precision not only strictly dominates Borda count, but also is clearly conveying additional information about degree of preference on top of that which is obviously useful and not encoded in ranked choice votes at all!

Bonus: a surprisingly large number of decisions are dominated by no more than three viable choices that are clearly preferred over all others. When selecting for among three options, there are seven unique approval votes (the all marked/unmarked votes, expressing no preference, are equivalent), and only six ranked unique choice votes. It should be pretty clear that RCV and approval don't convey equivalent information in this case!

Here you use the term "monoculture." You appear to be using culture and race interchangeably. Clearly they are not the same. Are you referring to monoculture or monorace?

Our [public] school gave a 1-hour class on the basics of the SAT test mechanisms and how to get your score to what I'd call "reflective of your ability". If kids are showing up to the SAT barely knowing how a #2 pencil works, that's bad. If they've had 1 hour on "if you can eliminate even a single answer that you know is not correct, do not leave the question blank" and "D means that no can determine which is greater not that you have no idea which is greater", that puts them in a position to demonstrate their ability and that's well within the reach of any school district that gives half an ounce of care for their students.

>it is those who are able to influence the decisions of corporations that bear the burden and responsibility

This is an interesting idea, and I agree that it would be great if it were true, but it’s not, and I don’t think it’s ever been. Those who make decisions for corporations don’t bear any burden; everyone else does.
I sleep with my watch, I charge it for ~1hr every day at 11am->12pm while I'm at my computer (reminders to start/end charging handle everything I need).

Personally I think I almost prefer charging "daily" because with my old Pebble watch it would last 2-4 days or so and since I wasn't in the habit I would always get caught with low battery. Even if the watch lasted a week I'd probably still charge nearly daily (maybe skip the charge if I'm not at my desk or on the weekend).
The latter is a different target market though.

Did you ever try star voting?
My chem professor in college was like that, to an extreme degree. He openly declared that he was going to put trick question and gotchas in quizzes and pop quizzes—all of which counted towards the final grade, mocked students who got tricked, insisted to talk in an opaque manner, and dismissed any objection to his teaching style. It was the only way to learn, he claimed.

But at midterms and finals, his class scored consistently worse than the same course taught by a different professor, even though he was the one writing the exams. And he got angry every time this happened.
The Chinese may outnumber the Indians in the US but Indians are also included in the “Asian” number and make a significant percentage so it’s definitely not purely genetic.
Correlated, yes. Highly correlated - I doubt it. Einstein didn't get that way by eating enough blueberries and salmon oil or whatever.

Now of course, if you are raised on a diet of sugar and lead-laced air and water, you won't reach your natural genetic potential. And if you are raised by billionaires with a live-in chef and nutritionist and tutors, in a place with squeaky-clean air and water, you might reach your full potential.

But those things merely optimize, or impede, the raw material you were born with.
> The students didn't petition to get him fired, they didn't ask for that

If this is true, this isn't being reported widely enough.
I appreciate this extra insight on the PhD situation and generally agree with your points. I don’t necessarily agree that we (Americans) should worry about those figures. If you believe talent is more or less equally distributed worldwide, and that grad school attendance is at least partly meritocratic, it should be the case that most grad students in all fields come from elsewhere, since most humans live outside the USA.

I do agree strongly that we need opportunities for home grown talent. On the other hand, just because an American is born in the capital of the world economy should not place upon them the burden of rising to become one of its leaders. Not everyone is cut out for that, and that’s okay. As for depending on immigration, almost no American today is descended from the “original” Americans (the white ones that is), and we seem to be doing okay. Obviously past performance doesn’t guaranteed future returns, but I find reason for hope in that fact.

>Pixel 6 and later Pixel phones will get Pixel updates for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. Pixel updates include Pixel security updates, and may also include feature drops and other software updates.

Sounds like you get security updates for five years with no concrete promise of how many OS updates you get.

If we're going to include years where you only get a security update, the nine year old iPhone 5s just got another security update a month ago.

The $399 original iPhone SE got six years of OS updates and also got another security update at the end of August.

I don't think the SAT is an IQ test. I'm sure IQ helps but parents clearly have a pivotal role - the single biggest external factor to explain variation in score perhaps. Surely the biggest factor in SAT scores is how much you the student _care_ about the SAT score. Why do you care? Maybe because your parents care, maybe because your parents don't care? At the end of the day parents are crucial to the success of their children positively and negatively.

If you are an authoritarian state you don't give too much worry about that, if you grab the wrong person "oh well another day another murder."

It's about terror and control, not about justice. If you think that's bad wait till you see what the Khmer Rogue did in Cambodia. The precious framework of individual rights, a relatively functioning justice system, and constitutional guarantees may not be perfect here in the US of A, there are issues, and those rights are still being eroded, and we have work to do, but people who draw comparisons between places like the US and China or Iran clearly have no idea what they are talking about, and it's a decent chance they may in fact be part of state sponsored psychological warfare apparatuses.

Don't "vaguepost". Either say something, or don't.
You can also just `git rebase -i` and set `e` (edit) on the commit before the one where you want to insert a new commit. Instead of doing `git add .` and `git rebase --continue` like you normally would to squash your changes into the commit you've stopped to edit, you can just `git add .`, `git commit -mwhatever` and then `git rebase --continue`. Now you have new commit "whatever" in between the one you stopped to edit on and the next one.

In the event multiple choices have the same number of votes and those choices are the lowest vote getters in the round, RankedVote calculates a Borda Score for each of those candidates across all ballots that were cast. Basically just saying "Ok, these three candidates were tied, which one was ranked lowest on average across the entire group of voters?" And then eliminate that one.
