Curiosity is different than a destructively smug confidence that experts are wrong.

Curiosity: "I am curious if any studies have been done to measure whether GM mosquitos could actually the spread of malaria, given that they were released in the two areas with new malaria cases."

Smug confidence: "I'm SURE it wasn't that tricky science experiment they're doing with GM mosquitos."
> Are these mosquitos made in the same labs or near that malaria testing is being done?

No. They're made by a company specifically set up for this.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxitec

They have their own production facilities: https://www.oxitec.com/en/news/oxitec-breaks-ground-on-new-s...

The same mosquitos been deployed outside the US, since 2009. They're also released as eggs, which is a dramatic challenge for the "they're preloaded with malaria" theory.

The private schools are seeking and selling quality. Plus, the majority of private schools are non-profits. Many are religiously affiliated and would like a large population as as a potential source of new religious members, but they also need some way to fund that. If a family is already paying $5k/yr in property taxes it is less likely they can afford another $10/yr for 2 kids to go to private school. The funding is the biggest blocker to increased private and charter school attendance. That's why there's so much talk about things like vouchers, 529s, etc.

"Finally, why can't we just fix public schools?"

That's a good question without a good answer. Perhaps the best answer is the meta that people don't agree on the course of action that would "fix" the schools since there are numerous opinions on what that is, resulting in no action or half measures.
This solves the problem only for you, and those users who are aware of the problem, have enough understanding to know that it is a problem, and also have the technical know-how to even use your published code.

> What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good.

What dog whistling drivel. That dude's trying so hard to use fancy words and walls of texts to defend his racist views without stating them outright. This is coming from a person who previously said:

"One quality that's a really bad indication is a CEO with a strong foreign accent. They must be clueless if they haven't gotten rid of their strong accent."

Already going mask off in public and later doubling down on it in his blog. Just imagine what his views are in private if he goes to those lengths to try and fail to morally justify them.

The big question with fossil-fuel driven climate change is, who is going to own the oil and coal that gets left in the ground? If we are going to avoid climate catastrophe, large amounts of fossil carbon needs to be left buried. Someone claims ownership over almost all of that; it is very valuable; leaving it buried is like leaving money just sitting there. Who will say, for the good of the Earth, we will leave it there? Or will someone else offer to pay well to leave oil buried?
the dosing was 60,000 IU per month? that's only 2000 IU per day - most vitamin D dosing for effective results i've seen needs to be 10,000 IU per day, implying that they are drastically under-dosing the participants. and i agree with the other commenters who say vitamin K is necessary for proper absorption, and also that vitamin D from sunlight is more effective. so imho more studies should be done with a 10,000 IU daily dose.

> So all the violence is being committed by 14 - 16 year olds

Yes. 12 to 20 I'd say. It's a 17 yo who was murdered, and external cameras caught it.

What's 'funny' is that a week prior, a 19 yo who worked with one of my d&d player was murdered in worst circumstances. Also, a way less divising profile. He was going to work, it was 5.30 Am, he worked his ass of to get out of the 'FJT' (basically a cheap hostel for poor, young workers w/o family support), and wanted to take evening classes in sales to not work as a temp all his life.

Doing the same drive for a month or two, he was stopped by the police one morning. Then, like Nahel, killed from a bullet in the thorax. But since no camera were present, nothing will happen.

France is like the US. If a cop stop you, start recording ASAP, it might save your life.
If you don’t believe the media, at least take a look at this xkcd comic, it puts the problem into perspective very clearly:

People acquire disabilities: https://employersforchange.ie/Acquired-Disabilities#:~:text=....

The important bit in your wording above isn't the 'by ones own exertions' but: "to get as one's own"

Since these are people who caught malaria in the USA, rather than elsewhere and simply travelled here, the wording makes good sense.
Malaria didn't go from 0 to 10,000 cases in the US. It went from 0 to 7. This is a gradual start, not a sudden one. It's a gradual start that scientists and even the US military have warned about for years.

Thought-provoking metaphor. Upon reflection, I think the article emphasizes the wrong aspect of this -- the drip part itself -- at the expense of the more interesting elements (the length and breadth of the horizontal line, the amount of paint, etc).

CURIOSITY seems to be the horizontal line; i.e. the person's latent curiosity about things, domains, areas, etc, and the urge to explore/discover is what drives the horizontal movement.

The 'amount of paint' variable, which is clearly the most important part of the physical reality underpinning the metaphor, would perhaps be akin to COMPETENCE. Competence is a stand-in word for intelligence, grit, suitable background knowledge, and probably a host of other qualities.

So what's the grand conclusion here? That highly curious and highly competent people tend to be prolific in their output?

Not so surprising perhaps, but fun to think about.
So would you stick with Amazon in this case or lean towards another POD publisher like Lulu or others?

Vit D + K2 have so much potential upside and so little downside that I rank that first among the supplements that I should always take because they seem to serve me well and I actually had deficiency when I first tested for it. It took more than expected to balance out my levels but once you start ramping up dosage, it's easy to reach upper desired limit so it's important to do regular blood tests

For me 4k IU a day seems to be the perfect dosage
That seems unlikely to me. Models are multi-modal now, so they'll likely train on video and audio content too. Once that's tapped out they can learn better world models by not passively ingesting data but interacting with it, e.g. via simulated environments or capturing human-bot interactions that are flagged as interesting and incorporating those in the next run.

That technique didn’t work when I asked it to create a Python script to return all IAM roles with a certain set of policies attached.

While there's obvious classism (and very-slightly-more-veiled racism) in the assumptions that "poor kids" will be more disruptive in class, there is, to my understanding, substantial data backing up the perception, with causal mechanisms that have nothing to do with race or "poor breeding", and everything to do with how grindingly awful it is to be poor in America.

Those can already run on batteries. Australia has some electrified road trains that are 165 tonnes, way more than is allowed on roads in most countries.

Brutally simple solution with batteries that can be swapped in a few minutes.

https://thedriven.io/2023/04/18/australian-miner-to-trial-wo...

Hydrogen is likely never going to be very popular for road transport. It's way more costly than battery electric to operate and most transport companies deeply care about their margins. Besides that, the infrastructure simply isn't there for hydrogen (never mind green hydrogen). And the battery equivalents are already being used on roads right now in pretty much any weight class. High speed megawatt chargers are already being developed. And with swapping batteries the whole argument against having to wait goes away.

The GDPR is extremely easy to understand.

I respectfully disagree. And I write that not only as a very experienced developer but also as a director who has been legally responsible for GDPR compliance in more than one relatively small organisation.

The GDPR in its official format in English is 88 printed pages. It contains 173 introductory paragraphs followed by 99 specific Articles some of which span multiple pages by themselves. As is customary for legislation made at EU level a lot of the provisions are written more as statements of intent with considerable ambiguity about concrete implementation that is left to regulators or courts to clarify.

The specific legal basis of "legitimate interests" and the overarching obligations to collect and process data only where it is reasonably necessary are good examples of this openness to interpretation. And yet much of the data processing that most of us would probably agree is reasonable relies on the legitimate interests basis for its lawfulness. Several enforcement actions by regulators have already been brought against data controllers who apparently believed they were acting in compliance but were still found to be infringing the general principles around necessity and proportionality.

I contend that any legal document running to nearly 100 printed pages of densely printed text cannot credibly be described as "easy to understand". Indeed I must have read hundreds more pages of analysis and discussion by legal scholars, professional data protection officers and other experts and there have been plenty of disagreements over interpretation or sometimes outright contradictions between those papers.

Of course the only things that actually matter are the actions of the regulators or other official bodies that interpret the regulations and potentially sanction those who infringe them in specific cases. That means we also have to consider the stated opinions and actions to date of all the different national regulatory authorities and the outcomes of the cases that have been formally considered and resolved so far. And once again it is clear that even among the national regulators who are responsible for the interpretation and implementation of the rules there can be considerable disagreements about how the rules should be interpreted and sometimes which cases should be brought at all.

Now I don't necessarily disagree with some of those outcomes but I do think that if a data controller honestly believed their prohibited actions were in compliance and was subsequently penalised and required to make changes then evidently there is a problem with how accessible/understandable the rules are and those rules demonstrably failed to prevent the unwanted behaviours in those cases until the regulators did take action.
I'm confused about your objection to feedback during the early stages of a process. Later stages tend to be less about fundamentals and strategie, and focus more on technicalities and detail. Surely late stage would suffer more from the 'sunk cost' bias and be reluctant to change course?

As for 'evidence', the presented framework, objectives and tactics come straight out of postmodern curriculum theorist literature. They would see nothing controversial in the above.

You could argue that the proposed drafts do not intentionally align with the presented ideological framework, but are merely accidentally aligned or enabeling. Not sure that would make it better.
> You are going to deal with bullies your whole life

Never dealt with them again once I left high school. Not even any close calls.

That shit's like living in a war zone. No one sends their kids to a war zone so they can "learn to survive". No good lessons exist in a war zone, not even in between people stepping on landmines or getting pulverized by airstrikes.

All that exists in such a place is a bunch of trauma, and yes, debilitating/mutilative injuries, for those that somehow manage to get sneak back out of them.

Bullying is like this too, though obviously to a lesser degree.

I strongly suspect that most people get their ideas about what bullying is from the same half-dozen made-for-tv movies and other narrative fragments thereof on the subject.
> Penn's not really the level of school that will be that much better over a flagship state school. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, and maybe a few more are that level.

Pretty sure Wharton fits in with the profiles you mentioned.

The College… yeah, sounds about right (maybe a flagship state school honors program).

Penn students apply to a specific school, so the student body profile of each school is quite different (sometimes to almost comically different degrees).

Batteries drive up the cost for certification and shipping. I think a battery works better together with a bigger, more expensive display, where these costs are less of a concern and which you cannot place on a stand.

Yup. Ohio unemployment office. They didn't process my application during the pandemic.

Tests have their own sets of problems too. A single, high stakes, high pressure test to determine everything is just as absurd as grades, and tends to bias for those who have time and money to prep.

I prefer wholistic evaluations. You are more than both your test scores and your grades and your school and your demographics. But if you put them all together one can get a decent picture.

Government providing $1 to a religious private school is finding favor in that particular religion. Since Christian schools are more common than any other, public funding in any amount is the state promoting that religion above others.

A possible work around is the state donates $x to each registered religious organization in that state. Every group gets an equal amount.
