This comment is getting downvoted because of poor wording. The accusations of racism are excessive and it's obvious these people have a pointless axe to grind.

I think what OP is trying to say is this:

1. There is a biological component to intelligence. This doesn't imply race. If it was possible to reach 200 IQ with hard work a lot more people would be there.

2. Breaking scores down by ethnicity may elucidate data that imply the poor level of education of this cohort in general may be leading to inappropriately reduced performance in schools. Anecdotally, I have family that teach at title 1 schools that deal with immigrants that have little command of English. The result is as expected, universally they do remarkably poorly on every test. Children of this cohort also do poorly. The schools, unfortunately, are punished severely. Not speaking English except at school has a dramatic effect on ones ability to learn if you have no command of the lingua franca. The cost to double classes and have special Spanish classes, for example, is not only expensive but does not prepare a child for existing in a world where everything is in English.

I think OP could've worded things better but regardless there is some truth to it. If we extrapolate test scores from title 1 schools to this population it calls into question: are we doing enough and should we inappropriately punish schools for taking this additional burden on?

It is clear immigration does not correlate to ability to learn. However, this cohort of amnesty recipients are a special case. I am convinced other comments cannot read, or willfully misread OP, in order to signal their virtue.

Shitty parents are not the fault of a CHILD.

If I'm turning on a computer, it's because I want to use it right now. If I'm turning off a computer, it's because I don't need to be using it right now. I guess you do need to make sure shutdown is fast enough that a laptop won't start cooking itself if someone tells it to shut down and then immediately sticks it in a bag, but it seems great more useful in general to optimize for startup time. Providing the happy path of a clean shutdown is useful for that, even if you do still occasionally need to handle power failure recovery.

In my experiences working on voice OS, it's boom or bust depending on the user. Some people use it rarely if ever and some people live by it, and there's little in between. I think it makes sense in most cases to view voice commands as an accessibility feature.
You are correct, but the parent is also correct. Meditation was a tool utilises by Buddhists (amongst others) to develop stable attention and focus (sans the spirituality of higher "levels" in meditation).

We aren't spending the money on the parents though, we are spending it on their children, who deserve that attempt even if they aren't able to fully take advantage of it.

Ruthlessly optimizing use of "the public's money" is not inherently virtuous, but providing the universal opportunity for education is. If it is spent to offer an education, and that offer is not accepted, it is still money well spent.
It's one of those curves that's much easier to define implicitly than to explicitly find the border. If you don't mind testing each pixel to see if it should be "in" or "out" then you can draw a picture of it easily. But if you want an explicit function for the boundary or avoid calculating much of the pixels, you'll need something like marching squares or more math to find it.

The SVG solution here is nice in that increasing the resolution doesn't require you to do any more computation to determine where the border should be, and the border will always be exact and smooth; you even get antialiasing "for free".

As well as obeying Betteridge's Law, Mara's article hits a few frequent mistakes that crop up in Rust discussions: e.g. how Editions are different (I would say better) than versions of a standard language like C++.

One thing I think is worth more reflection is: Are there specific things such a Specification must cover, or is it enough, as it seems C and C++ felt, to just specify some of the language and leave the rest unacknowledged ?

For example, ANSI and ISO C significantly pre-date the memory model we're all now comfortable C implements. They don't offer a different memory model, the specification just never mentions what's going on at all in this respect. If you wrote concurrent software in C in, say, 1996 (which I did) then eh, it does whatever it is that it happens to do. The ISO standard document has no view.

Right now, Rust "pretty blatantly just inherits the memory model for atomics from C++20. This is not due to this model being particularly excellent or easy to understand. Indeed, this model is quite complex and known to have several flaws. Rather, it is a pragmatic concession" (quoting the Nomicon). Is that good enough? If Aria's Strict Provenance experiment goes well, how much of that should be specified? As much as possible? As little as possible?

This is for access control. If your company uses Active Directory then when when you remove an employee from your Active Directory his access will be automatically removed.

If your company does not use Active Directory you can create a Microsoft account using your existing email (even gmail works). Or you can create a new @outlook.com account.
It plays together with other ridiculous myths like urban farming. People want to feel and appear green regardless of objective reality.
MixPanel has been a joy to use. We mostly used to slap on the GA script tag out of simplicity, but found:

- data collection is slow- you get your daily stats sometimes 10 hours after the previous day ends which just feels wrong. On Mixpanel, we see our events as they come in.

- The experience is poor from a visitor perspective.

- Tracking events feels less than ergonomic.

MixPanel's event-centric data has made A/B testing 100x easier

Mankind Divided?
Note almost the entirety of the lost revenue is from Europe, quarter on quarter year on year.

Considering Meta's business is advertising.

The fact advertising revenue is flat in the Americas & Asia is a strong signal companies are not cutting advertising. Ergo, no massive collapse in consumer confidence is predicted.

It's just Europe that looks dire.

Or at least that's what Meta wants you to think.
Human Revolution was wonderful, but Mankind Divided had such bizarre pacing… I was ~15 hours into Prague, waiting for the transition to the next locale like in all of the other Deus Ex games, and then the story ended… sigh

Yes but the point is you realise all this. And if it was important enough to you (v cost) then you would sort it. Most people wouldn't be interested at all.

Yes regulation and other stuff is sorely needed. But in the context of what an individual can do 10%-20% is nothing to be sniffed at. And I suspect that severely underestimates the savings compared to the average person, let alone the worst offenders.
When your core cools, your body will react by reducing bloodflow to your hands and feet (which are basically radiators) to preserve heat for your core. Generally, dressing warm to keep your core warm should help keep your hands and feet warm too, but of course there will always be a temperature gradient.

If that isn't sufficient, there are still cheaper ways to deal with it than adjusting the furnace. A low power radiative space heater (the sort with a reflective dish) can be very efficient at heating up the person it's pointed at without heating up the whole room. Having a warm drink to pick up and sip on also helps; it'll warm your fingers directly and also give your core a little boost of heat. Heated electric blankets are also extremely effective.
Isn't this the same sort of concept as a slab allocator?
It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with valuing education. Not everyone got to work from home during the pandemic. Those in the lower economic class had to continue to work 8 or more hours a day to put food on the table. It is hard to make a kid pay attention to school when they don't want to if you aren't there.
Or they think this situation and the "normal hiring processes" are stupid for everyone? The fact that all this redundant work, manual data entry, and hoop-jumping is the status quo doesn't make it good or fair or reasonable.
The problem is generally that good sugar substitutes are laxatives. There is even an enantiomer of glucose. Which chemically behaves almost like normal sugar. It tastes exactly the same. But since your body can't break it down like normal sugar it's a laxative.

I think this is the reason why all sugar substitutes we actually use are MUCH stronger then normal sugar.
I'm frustrated with ALL and ANY ad appearing across the App Store.

I pay for the device, I pay for services, I pay for the apps and app subscriptions, heck, I even pay for device peripherals (cases, and so on). Why the fuck does Apple need to make a buck selling ads to me too?

> This is the problem. Shareholders demand short term returns, not a long term safe/sustainable future and long term returns.

So what? There's nothing wrong about that. Shareholders demand both long term stability and short term returns btw - if the market thought there are no long term returns to be had, the stock price would've crashed.

Shareholders don't have much say about how Tesla does it, and they're actually the ones defrauded.
Apple are at fault for deliberately proliferating the damaging codec. Trying to whitewash it with arguments like "they can't do otherwise" won't going to fly. They aren't some poor vendor with no choice. What they are causing is reducing choice for everyone else due to their own size, which was exactly the point.

It's too late for me in my time to pull my thoughts together, but this goes on the same lane as Nigerian prince scams, cryptocurrency/ICO scams, etc.

Obviously I don't know how you value all these side projects but I do wonder how you would value the typical (successful) YouTube channel. It seems like there is a ton of variance, some of which is determined by personal continued success and some of it as a field.

For example, will most YouTubers making six figures from all streams in 2022 be making more or less in 2025? Once you've "captured" an audience are most people good at hanging onto it? And in the long run will these returns diminish (as other Youtubers who are willing to spend more on production come along) or will they continue to grow (as I assume the general field of online spending/advertising has lifted everyone)
Yeah but at least urban farming isn't super subsidized. If someone wants to play with home solar or farming as a hobby, that's great, but it's not everyone else's job to make sure it's profitable for that person.

Maybe the issue with urban farming is that water is subsidized, and those people use a lot of it.

It's hard for people without kids to realize just how much COVID-related school closures fucked everything up.

An entire generation of students is at risk of forever being behind. And even those that always attended online class, did all the work, and excelled given the circumstances are still going to fall behind because so many of their peers in the classroom are behind that entire curriculums are changing to accommodate those students.

I feel terrible for everyone involved, but especially the kids that have been set back literally years. And what's more is that this is going to further the divide between lower income/high income families. Those that were able to afford private tutoring, have one parent stop working to help educate their children, or afford to transfer their kids to a private/prep school.

There may be nothing we take more for granted in this country than public education and the very foundations are crumbling beneath us.
Honestly surprised any of this made it past the legal department at Tesla. Any company I've worked at has always been super careful and conservative with the language you use to describe anything.

The shareholders can demand whatever they want including shiny unicorns. Musk and Tesla are entitled to say "No".

When Tim Cook was asked pointed questions on why Apple gave a crap about environmental concerns, rather than focussing on pure profit über-alles, he smacked down the questioner [1]

"If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock.”

A company's decisions can be guided by shareholders, but it's on the company to forge their own path. If the shareholders don't like it, they'll vote with their feet. Promising unicorns to keep the feet planted where they are is not a good strategy.

Revenue is flat in the US - yet dollars are down ~8% - so adjusted for inflation - revenue is down considerably.
That depends where the hot water heater is located.

In my case, I was able to get rid of my dehumidifier in the basement and the window unit in the summer. Paid for itself in ~6 months.
It's also pretty dumb for long term strategy because once Apple gets used to selling ads they're likely to never go back.

Which gives competitors like Huawei an obvious, and valuable, differentiator. They can just sell ad-free phones to gain market share.
You can answer most 'tell me about a time' questions without outright lying. A question can be taken at face value, or you can recognize the intention behind the question, and rehearse an answer that goes to the heart of the issue. The concern from the other side is perhaps a reassurance that the candidate can think critically, or how they work in a team, or handle conflict, etc.

Clickbaity title. As the article outlines inside 63% of currently produced blocks are OFAC compliant. With an ETH block time of ~12 seconds. There is a 1-(.63^n) chance that an OFAC non-compliant block will be included in n blocks. Once you hit 90 seconds, there's a >99% chance that an OFAC non-compliant transaction will be written to the chain.

If censorship ever came to the blockchain itself i.e. Coinbase (who holds a large stake and needs to comply with OFAC) not attesting non-compliant blocks, there are censorship resistant ways the chain can employ to prevent this - like social slashing, this is a great read on it:

I think you should change your demo trip, I clicked on it and got annoyed about how pedantic (for lack of a better word I can think of) the 'rules' were:

Trip Rules
No pets
No parties
Quiet after 11pm
Alcohol allowed
No drugs
No marijuana allowed

I mean it is realistic for a yoga trip, but in a demo you'd want to showcase the most fun way to use this, not the most patronising way.
