Is "The Life of Rosa Parks" inappropriate for children? Should it not be available in school libraries?

Clearly I would agree that Fifty Shades of Grey should probably not be available in a school library. I would debate, given its historical significance, whether Mein Kampf should be included. But a book about the life of Rosa Parks should be mandatory in school libraries.

I'm a UK resident, and might not be understanding things correctly. We don't do book banning or excluding over here.
The point is that with a constant amount of assaults, and fewer potential victims, you are more likely to be a victim.

Should have written "could" instead of "can", it was a hypothetical not meant to describe the actual implementation, which seems odd? What magic are they using? I think they're assuming honest devices, which seems dangerous.
> One core challenge we aimed to solve for memory on the Framework Laptop 16 was being able to offer the same modules for pre-built systems, DIY Edition, and the Framework Marketplace. Historically, we needed to source separate “OEM” modules from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron for use in our factory, and “Retail” modules from Crucial to offer in DIY Edition and the Marketplace. Instead, we worked with memory maker ADATA to create custom-label modules that we can use across all areas. Currently, we’re leveraging SK Hynix DDR5-5600 memory chips for these modules, but may use other chips that meet the performance bar in the future as well.
As I understand, the problem here is that Google wants to run your ads on third-party sites (to earn more), but you don't want to run ads there because third-party sites employ every trick possible to generate impressions even if real user never sees the ads.

If you care about money spent, you should calculate ROI for each third-party site and filter out those which give low returns. And not expect that Google will do that for you.
Where does the "1,626" number come from?

In their data set they have 2,551 books in four categories:

Banned in Libraries and Classrooms,
Banned in Libraries,
Banned In Classrooms,
Banned Pending Investigation,

If I filter out the "Banned Pending Legislation" entries, I get 1,164 books.

This assumes there's some objective way to stack rank high school students by potential, and there's not. At some point exclusive schools like Harvard just shape their student populations to an arbitrary standard. How do you compare GPAs at 10,000 different schools for example? Is a 1550 student who started a company more or less valuable than a 1600 student who won a science fair?
There are even more cynical takes that could be explored (I, too, have been through the mental gymnastics of the liberal American college, an institution most welcoming of tolerance for race discussions), but the net result is that slaves were liberated and assimilated at the cost of significant loss of human life. That abolition of slavery aligned with other objectives does not negate my point that slaves benefited from the war, at the expense of people who didn't owe them anything.

> The Civil War was started because the South decided that they had "state's rights" to slavery. It was never fought to "end slavery." It was fought to put down a rebellion, the same way that Washington put down multiple rebellions during his tenure as POTUS.

You just made the argument that the South seceded over a single issue-- slavery. The North responded by declaring war on its own countrymen (it was the North that declared war, remember)-- and not because they wanted to keep slaves, but because the South was out of line.

Were that the case, we could have avoided the bloodiest battle in American history by simply negotiating an outcome where the South was allowed to keep its slaves. We don't care about ending slavery, anyway, so who gives a fuck? Keep your goddamn slaves. Surrender your arms and apologize.

At any point during the war, the Union could have ended it by making the same concession-- they didn't care about ending slavery, right? We'll just keep throwing our sons at the problem and have them shipped back in neat little boxes though.

Once the rebellion was over, the Union could have packed up and went home and still let the South keep its slaves (because it was never about slavery!), or left the slaves to their fate as abandoned property, but instead they were emancipated and had their personhood recognized by the Union that you claim only got involved to big-dick the South.

So the Civil War was entirely about preserving the ego of a bunch of Narcissists whose progressive social values and efforts in abolishing slavery in their own backyard somehow translated to a lack of interest in going to war with a clique of rebels that refused to adopt the same principles, until someone cucked Honest Abe. That much could not stand. We were totally cool with letting the South continue having slaves-- they just needed to be taught a lesson in respect.

Come on. This isn't how politics or statecraft works. The situation is more nuanced than either of us is getting into (economic advantages to war, slavery, etc.) but this is more histrionic than history.
When you focus on equity over equality everyone loses. There's a lot more minority groups in this country today. Why do african Americans get special treatment in 2023 over say ukrainians, afghanis or syrians?

There's a lot of poor and uneducated minority groups, but the idea that reverse racism solves anything is just outdated.
I rode the DC metro with family because I was warned about parking and traffic in DC.

BIG MISTAKE! On the second day I took a car, and it took 1/3 the time, and 1/10 the cost EVEN with searching and paying for parking.

Public transit should be free.
Too many parents think the goal is to have a baby sleeping through the night, or alot, as soon as possible. NO! The goal in the early weeks is to have a well-fed baby so it can grow. Feed it every few hours!

The baby has mostly heard mother's heartbeat. So when you hold it, be sure to place its head over your heart, or on your heart side.

Finally, you are also the parent. A dad never babysits his own kid. Own this!
As an analogy:

1. Life jackets are banned for anyone with brown hair.

2. A very large boat hits an iceberg and sinks. There are a lot of people in the water. None of the brown haired people are allowed life jackets.

3. There is a (for the sake of this silly analogy) rapid discussion, people realize this was probably not a good way to do things, and a new law is passed: people with brown hair are now allowed to wear life jackets!

4. No one gives life jackets to the brown haired people currently in the water.

Just because an unjust law is changed does not mean the people who were previously injured by the law are magically no longer injured.
I'm in DC today, come here regularly for business but live in the bay area, moved into bay area in August 2020. Can't imagine DC without the metro and heard just today they actually fixed the new cars during the pandemic, so net win here. Even before the pandemic the BART helped convince me to not live in the City.

> We don't do book banning or excluding over here.

Really? If I wrote a book entitled “The Darwin Option: A retrospective and brutally honest view about why Darwin was right about women,” you wouldn’t protest if it was put in the school library where an edgy 13-year-old could read it?
What are the new regulations that are coming after this disaster?
Yes that's exactly what I'm saying lol.

There's also a quality argument. If Valve lets a bunch of slapdash AI hackjobs onto the store that were developed in a week by people who don't know anything about game development, and that makes it harder to discover well made games, that's a meaningful business risk for them. They're responsible for curating the steam store.
Whom is this a good deal for? 1.045^40 is less than 6, so you'd get back a 6x return after like 40 years if you don't touch the money? Even with the full $150k you end up with $1M which hardly seems like anywhere near enough to sustain you in retirement in 2063.
It should be legal, yes. As it should be legal for private business owners to discriminate as well.

How are bonds repaid?

From extant currency.

What do the funds used to buy bonds do until repaid?

They back the newly printed currency.

You see, nothing is ever actually created.

Money is created from Commodities like wheat, corn, and metals, all of which are obtained in manners where the input cost is less than the output value with the additional value coming from a process in nature (sun and photosynthesis, or geologic actions for example).

You've clearly never actually done the flow chart, huh?
> Like most CDs, this one, which has a 4.75% interest rate

I am not familiar with CDs, but how can an establishment promise returns of 4.75% for 100 years? That seems exceedingly high. What if there is deflation in 2055 or a recession that sends the rates back to 1-2%?
I had the same problem with screen share not working in Firefox. It simply gave an empty list of things to pick from to share.

After, idk, half a year or so, I gave it a fifth(?) try, it still didn't work, and I googled the problem once more. Lo' and behold: you have to install xdg-desktop-portal to get screen share functionality. I installed it, and it worked.

Now there's 2 problems with this:

1. the UX is F'ing punching out the bottom of the barrel. There is no hint, no error message, no breadcrumb to tell you what's going on. You just get an empty list of sharing choices and are left completely befuddled. Cool.

2. xdg-desktop-portal, first hit when you look it up, starts its description with "A portal frontend service for Flatpak and possibly other desktop containment frameworks." What the F does that have to do with screen sharing? (Apparent answer: …sandboxing/access control?) If you dig more, you do get told that it does screen sharing, but with a first hit noodling on about "Flatpak" … "desktop containment" why would you even be inclined to dig deeper?

The irony of an UI project being this oblivious about dealing with users is… well.

Also if the decline is all WFH, why have private vehicle miles traveled recovered to pre-pandemic levels?
Well in both your questions it depends on how you define speed. It is commonly understood to be the first derivative of position, or the quotient of distance divided by a time-span. But how do you define and measure distance and time-spans? Which reference frame do you use?

Also, the things falling in a vacuum at the same speed thing is a common misconception. The two arguments usually are that the mass of one body can be canceled out in both equations or that splitting a body into two won't make its halves fall slower.

To answer the question: Given all bodies have the same size, a constant distance to and mass of the reference body (usually earth) and everything starting at rest with no relative speed heavy and light bodies do experience the same acceleration, but a heavy body will collide sooner than a light body. Did it "fall faster"?
It’s no coincidence that this is happening against a background of budget cuts. I suspect Google is seeing less demand for ads right now while simultaneously dealing with expectations that their profits not go down correspondingly.

One thing I’m sure the mess over at Twitter has done is getting companies to reconsider the value of their ads in general, too. That’s always hard to measure which means it looks like an east spot to cut, and I believe there’ve been multiple companies claiming that cutting to zero didn’t affect sales so I’d be surprised if Google wasn’t looking at a soft market where cost cutting looks like a more reliable path to improve their profitability.
It’s not about capabilities, it’s about policy. Willfully violating security policies is generally going to go over poorly.

Then what would count as a book banning in a school? Nobody picks the books at random, there's always a justification.

I think if the book is removed against the wishes of the librarian, that's an irregular ban.

>But clearly there exist some books that dont belong in a children’s library.

The article points out there are "regular" reasons for bannings, and they didn't include those books:

"They are supplemental to and fall outside of the standard book exclusion process (e.g. standard exclusions prevent books that promote violent, hateful, or 'mature/17+' topics from being placed on school bookshelves)."

Besides, the article then points to the disproportionate number of books removed for (1) "violent content" when it's about political resistances versus military violence, and (2) "sexual topics" when it's about non-heterosexual relationships versus heterosexual. I've never heard of a book removed because it mentions a kid had a mom and a dad.

There's obviously a motive besides protecting the children from violent or sexual content.
When we needed massive technological improvements and production capacity for batteries to support cell phones, it happened. The same is now true for electric vehicles. There's little reason to think grid-scale storage is going to play out differently; humans are historically pretty good at this.

Detractors of wind and solar like to pretend disingenously they're proposed in isolation by idiots, but that's hardly the case. You'll see hydro, nuclear, gas/biomass peaker plants, etc. in the mix, and you'll see overprovisioned capacity of the cheaper generation forms like wind and solar to account for seasonal or weather-related dips in production.

> Black people aren't asking for money because they're poor, they're asking for money because the country was built with their ancestors' uncompensated labor

Then we'd have to address every single group that has been discriminated against in US history - including Japanese, Chinese, Irish, German, Mexican, and more.

Turns out - every group has been discriminated against at some point in history.

So the very idea of reparations for one particular discriminated group - out of all the rest - is racist in and of itself. Additionally, it solves nothing except give people a temporary shopping spree.

You cannot right history's wrongs by throwing some money around.

Let's, collectively, put on our grown-up pants and work together to ensure the future holds equal opportunity - not equal outcome - for all.
>BART is unique in that historically it paid most of its costs in farebox revenue.

Because it's expensive as hell, and the only sane option for commuting into the city during rush hour. A $10 round trip to go 5 miles from the east bay to downtown is absolutely crazy. Easily double the price of any other metro in the US.
What kind of reasoning is that? To the extent racism is solvable, that's done on the cultural level. My own view is that continuing to focus on race instead of moving past racial categories keeps it going. Ethnicities are real, but racial categories are social constructs (of varying ethnicities or ancestries over time) that only have cultural currency because we continue to allow them to.
Counter anecdata, I rode Bart last night from 16th mission at ~9PM. First I waited 45mins for a train, then all the available seats on that car were covered in piles of trash, and panhandlers hassled the elderly couple next to me.

I think BART is generally tolerable, but you're dismissing how obviously fucking terrible the BART experience can be and regularly is. A lot of people aren't willing to deal with that roulette, nor should they have to. Other transit systems aren't this bad.

This is really important if you’re starting to run. I always thought I hated running. On the occasion I would go for a run, I would go out and do a couple of kilometers as fast as I could and felt miserable.

It turns out I didn’t hate running, I was just doing it wrong. Start easy. Like, really easy. About 80% of your running should be at a pace you can maintain comfortable conversation at without huffing and puffing.
London Underground has reached over 90% of pre-pandemic passenger numbers as of April 2023 [1], and Transport for London expects to achieve an operating surplus in 2023-24.

My guess is that they will be content with:

1) having something to show their customers who has the actual expertise

2) making it clear that the Red Hat of today is significantly more open than the Red Hat of 2014 when neither CentOS Stream nor UBI existed and CentOS releases were months late despite the SRPMs being on ftp.redhat.com

3) making it obvious that they are respecting the GPL, and that no one gives a flying f**k about "free as in freedom" because all the uprising was always about either the free beer or the clicks/likes.
Hand-waving conflation and mischaracterization. MAD kept you safe from total war and it cannot be setoff by accident. Permission link is required in the US implementation. It is terrible but it is a white elephant: it cannot be given away but it also is undesirable to keep but still necessary.

Could there exist a material that resistively dissipates gravitational flux more strongly than normally, in the same sense that ferromagnetic materials resistively dissipate magnetic flux more strongly than normally? Something something "gravitational permeability"?

(I guess such a material would interact with gravitational waves as if it had more mass than it does, without that affecting its inertial mass?)
Or maybe this guy was sufficiently motivated anyway. And if he had did a search for “running plan for beginners to get in shape”, he would have gotten pretty much the same place.

I think LLMs are very powerful as a tool and believe in their future potential. But this narrative of ChatGPT getting him addicted to running is super cringe.

As he was pushing through workouts he was probably thinking “wow I’m going to get so many views about I can attribute this to Chatgpt”
I figure plenty of people wouldn't really mind if you left out the decentralized part specifically, but I assumed a bunch of nice things about git are there because they were basically required for a decent decentralized workflow.
Exactly.

All these projects are desperately slapping buzzwords such as ‘LLMs’, ‘AI’, ‘ChatGPT’, etc to pretend that their product is somehow revolutionary despite sitting on someone else’s AI model in the cloud via an API that they do not own.

They are slowing realizing that there is little to no moat with these LLMs let alone any serious use cases other than summarizing / rewording text.

Everything else requires the triple checking of another human to review the bullshit that the so-called black-box AI outputs.
