I went to a private Montessori school grades 3K-5, and my children have been or are in Montessori school grades 3K-6. As you might have guessed, I am a fan.

As most Montessori schools are private, my impression is that the variance in the quality of Montessori implementation varies considerably, but at a high level I have positive views of many of the same method characteristics as other comments:

- mixed-age classes
- learner-driven scheduling/work
- non-test-centric evaluation
- etc.

I would guess that most Montessori schools are smaller than schools kids transition into, which might make transitioning to other schools hard socially (it was for me, but not for my kids), but that also is highly dependent on the individual I think. Other than that, I think the method tends to yield:

- independence in both learning/working and life in general
- love of learning
- kindness towards others

Things I would ask about before choosing a school:

- are you accredited by AMS, AMI and/or SAIS?
- are your teachers trained primarily through AMS or AMI?
- how long have your teachers been with the school, on average?
- where do students go after this school, and what are their outcomes (what colleges, high school honor graduates, etc.)?
- does the school do standardized testing that is accepted by the local school district or otherwise make it easy to transition to other schools after they age out?
Isn’t forcing the affirmation of a single view the opposite of that?

Obviously anecdata but I've had an EV (Jaguar I-Pace) for a year and a bit now and it is by far the best and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

I've driven over 8000 miles in it and have not had a single issue. Contrast it to my new diesel Mercedes, which I think I had to service 4 times over the first year I owned it. It just makes sense that they'd be far more reliable - there are far fewer moving parts that can break.

If you don't need the >300 mile range regularly then an EV is by far the best choice. They're also cheaper over the lifetime of the vehicle.
I love the ones that are foreign to me because I don't understand any of the idioms. At all. Are those pies on the roof? Stabbing a brick wall with a knife?
FP is the best thing since sliced bread, don't get me wrong!

But the seemingly arising "Haskell religion" is at least as mislead as the OOP-religion that held mainstream in stranglehold for a long time.

Haskell's syntax isn't anything to imitate. It's hostile to IDE features, at least. Alone that should make it a no-go.

The next thing is that Haskell's features may make sense in the Haskell context, but they don't make any sense at all in almost any other language.

When you don't have strong types, no lazy evaluation by default, and it's not mandatory to use IO-wrappers, it makes not sense to mimic solutions that arose out necessities that are again results of constrains of Haskell's feature design. You need to do some things in Haskell the Haskell way because Haskell is the way it is. In a different language the chosen solutions are at best bonkers (even they may make sense for Haskell).

As always: It's a terrible idea to start doing something because "it's cool" and the "new hot shit", without actually understanding why exactly things are (or should be) done the way they are. The "Haskell religion" is by now imho already mostly only cargo cult… The more worrisome part is that it seems it attracts more and more acolytes. This will end up badly. It will likely kill the good ideas behind FP and only leave a hull of religious customs that the cult followers will insist on; exactly like it happened to OOP in the past.

That's my personal opinion, speaking as a big FP Scala fan.
I'm sure it's partly just resistance to change. I did get some good tips from the comment someone linked: https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/yvxz2l/kde_beats_macos...

But discoverability is part of the issue. E.g. Finder doesn't list keyboard shortcuts for any of the items in the context menu. I now see they are listed in the app menu though. But I've used Finder for three years without these hints.

And then I encounter things like I can't cut-paste a file. Is it something I can't just find, or is it not a Mac concept? I have to search the web to find an answer to things like this, and I probably resort to mv with Terminal. Which can probably be filed under change resistance.
> I hope that crypto exchanges are outlawed soon.

They will not.

According to the Financial Times, A recent (or future?) EU legislation allow supervised crypto exchanges EU wide with the condition of 50.000 euros minimun capitalisation.

A member of the board of director of ECB commented:
- Crypto providers are very hard to regulate
- Banks should step in.
- Crypto preys on very fragile people, i.e. poors, minorities, financially illiterates, etc...

It sounds like an injonction masquerading as a mere statement.
If I buy this logic, and I also have eyes and can see how Elon is running Twitter, what should that tell me about his ability to competently run Tesla and SpaceX?
It's also pretty standard for an engineer to say "Yeah, I could build that in a weekend" when talking about some super scaled website like twitter or facebook or whatnot.

"Bloated" isn't for engineers to decide really, we're terrible at judging efforts involved.

The public face is just theatre. I'm sure the internal situation is a whole lot more different.

Honestly speaking lots of bosses you would meet, are far worse than Elon Musk can even be. I've worked under all sorts. The kind of bosses who keep office pets(and give all the rewards/money to them), the kind of ones that run political cartels, the kind of ones that are bigoted and discriminate, the kind of one's that harass employees for all sorts of reasons, the kind of one's that are narcissistic, that kind one's that bully you, the kind of one's that resent your success, the kind of one's that hire-to-fire etc etc.

Working for somebody like Musk, who have a public face of zealousness towards their life's work, but can also be a little eccentric is really least of my worries and would be a best case scenario given the garden variety boss I could randomly work for.
"By the end of the century" is doing a lot of work in that statement.
Today, no way. Maybe 2 decades ago when I was a teenager and valued money way more. But regardless of his business outcomes, I'm not going to ever work for a manchild throwing public tantrums, who can't be criticised for valid reasons. His decision making process of throwing stuff and seeing what sticks is also something I don't want to deal with every day at work.

Life's too short to be a dictator's puppet.
Similar here, learned on DOS and Windows (3.1-98se) then used desktop Linux alongside Windows for about a decade, and when I eventually got a smartphone started on Android (because it was cheaper) before finally getting significant experience with iOS and OSX because I started working at a mobile dev shop (dual-platform, not just iOS). Once I got used to OSX/macOS (took maybe six months) I wondered WTF I'd been doing with my life, and seeing tons of Android and iOS devices side-by-side every day, and working on apps for both, made it really clear to me which was better and what I ought to be using, and it wasn't even close.

I've got complaints about Apple and they make mis-steps all the time—and I'm really worried about their getting into ads more heavily—but everyone else doesn't even seem to be trying to compete with what they're doing, so there's no real alternative.
Why should we not use something that is proprietary? Every transceiver IC in the world is proprietary.
> everyone (99.999%) chooses what's cheaper or more convenient for them, personally.

Don’t know about 99% but I also vote for those who support cheaper and convenient policies. If, as you say, 99% prefer such policies too - how would you get the votes?
People are ugly when unrestrained. Elon is super rich right now and totally off the hinge. We are going to see things now we have never seen before anywhere else.

But get back to his Tesla days when he was small and meaningless. The guy hustled and had everyone else hustle like they were still in college trying to make a big name for themselves.

I think back then he actually listened to his employees and they listened to him. That is not so much the case now. He fires first and asks questions later.

I know, but you also said "but I'm pretty sure all the ones that exist" so I wanted to show you a counter-example. I'm also not surprised by your thought, since you are right - most of the time it gets mixed, which is actually sad.

We need more practical pure functional programming libraries that focus on tackling problems with concurrent updates, streaming, state-changes etc. without forcing you to take a course in category theory beforehand.
There are common mild issues in other categories as well.

“Braking system issues” sound bad, but a common complaint is brake noise.

“Transmission issues” could be hard shifts.

“Engine problems” could be a squeaky belt or tensioner.

Like I said, I'd have to believe in the product/mission. I think what he will certainly deliver is a team of talented and hard working people with similar goals and ambitions.

I think this is what is going on at Twitter right now. He wants to rebuild the organization into his vision which is very different than the way Twitter was built when he acquired it. I'm guessing now that he's been there a few weeks he has a decent understanding of who the performers are and who really wants to be there and who doesn't. And I respect him for letting those that don't want to be there know that things are going to change, and it might not be for you, so here is 3 months severance - good luck.

This sends 2 messages. Firstly to those that do want to be there, they can trust that their teammates are equally driven and culturally compatible. Secondly, the culture is changing from one that was management heavy, fluffy, and focused on mission-uncritical tasks to one that is focused on building a great product and company.

To be fair, if they do get it right and the company IPOs again in a couple years, then everyone there will be paid handsomly.

If that is the case, it sounds like companies then should put a lot more focus on formalities than ability and skill, considering how successful Elon's companies are and have been; success which turns very peculiar under those circumstances when you consider how engineering-oriented they are.

There is, of course, another possibility, which is that Elon does in fact put a lot of focus on ability and skill over formalities, but not in literally every single situation.

Which one do you think is more likely?
My issue with CR for a long time is that I don’t trust their weighting. I’m much more worried about major drivetrain issues than flaky accessories in general, and it’s always seemed like they don’t distinguish between these categories the way I would. Their detailed breakdown is more useful but doesn’t impact these kinds of broad lists.
Why would you have done it back when you valued money more given that he doesn't pay more than the competition? In fact he seems to be cutting every possible benefit and increasing hours.

Working for his companies doesn't seem like some tradeoff between top compensation and a healthy work environment - his employees are getting neither of these things.

This is so bogus. The only reason that most people will end up driving EVs will be because of govenment mandates. Most people were happy with ICE cars (and mostly are, even now).
A bronze age civilization had brick houses and but I wonder why until a few decades ago, south Asian villages still mostly had mud houses. Given such a long time, one would expect brick houses even in remote villages.

Of course not, I've seen crackpots at every level, especially PhDs/postdocs/professors when their lab's funding depended on exploring bullshit ideas.

Yeah, I guess it will probably end in it being stored in some compound that can be directly used. Looks like a promising project.
I spent a lot of time in the early 90s in a cheap Japanese truck. 4-cylinder, manual transmission, RWD, standard suspension. Sure, I can believe that the Maverick is less capable in some ways. But in others, there is no comparison. At all.

Modern expensive trucks are amazing, but that is also part of why they are expensive. You are being tricked into thinking the cost is 100% due to the fancy add-ons. It isn't. And when Toyota comes out with their small unibody truck (2024 or 2025), reviewers will gush and swoon over it. And most of those reviewer complaints about the Maverick being mediocre will fade away (or at least "not apply" to the Toyota version). At these prices, you don't get to do what an F150 or Silverado or Tundra does.
I would assume there was also at least a minor degree of due diligence, such as "Would this person actually have had the knowledge to write letter".

I was hoping smarter people than me would have responded by now; I apologize, because it kind of looks like you're only going to get me.

One strategy would be to write a blog post about how google and twitter won't approve your ads because they are too gay. Post this to Hacker News and a relevant subreddit, and hope that picks up some traction and that someone at google has the power to make things right.

After that, it's probably just keep doing what everyone else does. If you have a budget, you could try reddit ads, snapchat ads, instagram ads, etc. Although, you might have similar problems at those places as well. And you might consider hiring an ad agency that specializes in dating sites (if there are any). I work at a company that sells firearm accessories and we also had a very hard time with paid advertising.

You could go to youtubers directly, and sponsor some videos. Maybe you could find some youtubers that will partner with you and be willing to do more than just the typical sponsored segment in a video.

You could do SEO activites, like content writing for various keywords that you might be able to rank for. I'm still trying to figure this out myself, but people seem to have great success with it.

You might just try to look at what other dating sites (especially dating sites targeting LGBT) are doing/did in the early days for inspiration. I hear stories about how tinder went from campus to campus manually signing up women at all the sororities.

If you don't have a budget, then you're really really fighting an uphill battle, as a dating site is the kind of thing that needs a CONSTANT influx of users, and you can't really rely the occasional viral post if it's followed by 4 months of quiet. My guess is that you're going to need to do a bunch of things that don't scale well, while at the same time trying to raise money so that you can do more of the things that do scale.

Best of luck!
Sad to know that instead of a proper API or offline support the notion team has decided to spent their time on AI.

Notion turned 8 this year and it still doesn't have the aforementioned offline support, no repeating dates and events and no plugin support.

Why companies prioritise a product nobody asked for instead of features which a large majority of users are vocal in support of is beyond me. I can only hope a competitor will force them to shift their focus.

Depending on how the surveys work, things like "how do I setup billing for charging?" can show up as charging issues too. It makes sense, but it will create a weird skew between EVs and ICE vehicles. Everyone buying an ICE vehicle already knows how to use a gas station.
>it doesn’t seem like anyone really trusts anyone anywhere anymore

No offense intended, but have you considered that maybe you're just surrounded by bad people? I have a reasonable amount of trust and faith in the other people that I work with. If I needed someone to pick me up in the middle of the night from the hospital, I'd trust my coworkers as much as I would trust my wife or friends.

My company is hardly some "golden child", but it generally does right by its staff, and the staff, more or less, does right by the company. Things aren't perfect, but I would say the amount of inter-office trust is about as close as anyone would reasonably expect. Problems pop up, but with a healthy amount of addressing things head on, those problems don't rot and fester.

Need someone to be honest with you about the deadline of an upcoming project? Done.

Need to get a hold of someone off-hours on a three day weekend? Alright, as long as it's something important and time sensitive.

Need realistic feedback about a presentation you're working on. Sure.

It all revolves around mutual respect, camaraderie, and clearly defined roles. When I see an upcoming issue with an area I have nothing to do with, I don't feel the need to fix it "because no one else will", but, I also don't leave it to blow up in someone else's face either. I let the right people know, or tell my boss if I'm not sure who should be involved.

If I had to take a guess, maybe you work for one of those larger corporate type companies with lots of middle managers, office politics, etc.? I'd encourage you to look at getting away from that if it's weighing heavily on your ability to trust others. It's something that I dealt with for a length of time, and once I moved onto a smaller shop, the ability to trust and genuinely rely on others improved quite a bit.
I use my Honda's infotainment system to set defaults for various car systems and for CarPlay. That's basically it. Doesn't even have a particularly large screen but it's fine for what I need it for. Climate controls etc. are all buttons.

I'd work for Elon 10 years ago when he was focused on things like making life multi planetary and advancing the electrification of transport. If I didn't have a family I'd work for SpaceX 10 years ago for 1/2 my current pay and pull 80 hour weeks.

Elon today seems to be focusing most of his energy on political concerns that are frankly beneath him and very very stupid. Someone with his means and skills should not care about anything with a <50 year time horizon.

My only hope for him now is that he doesn't destroy SpaceX or cannibalize it financially for some vastly less important reason.

Related tangent: a lot of people are reading way too much into what Elon is doing now. I see a lot of Qanon quality speculations from his detractors. I think it's pretty simple. Elon went and got himself "pilled" by the same BS that "pilled" probably 1/3 of the Hacker News audience over the past 10 years. I wonder if he's been on the 'chans. Ockham's razor says no more complex explanation is necessary.
