From everything I've read, it's nearly entirely the case that low income and ESL students do the worst (and there's a large overlap between those groups) and it has almost nothing to do with the kids' educability or intelligence. They are in a difficult spot due to no fault of their own and require more support than what a typical teacher in a typical school in a typical city can provide without meaningful investments in broad social services Americans don't seem to have much appetite to invest in.

No-one does real intelligence studies in humans because it's such a third-rail in academia. Think "The Bell Curve". Some scientists seem to believe that intelligence is intrinsic. The analogy with dog breeds, with their different temperaments and capabilities, with individual variation, applies to humans as well.

This seems similar to, maybe even a restatement of, the "how do you detect AI-written content" problem.

If someone could provide a way to programmatically detect accurate, high quality content, it would solve the SEO spam problem. It would also as a side-effect solve the AI-content problem. Or maybe it's the other way around and it would solve the AI-content problem and as a side effect the SEO spam problem. Well, they'll soon be the exact same thing, and either way I'm not sure it's solvable.
I think that's why people in this thread are calling it a tradeoff. It's a very attractive option that seems like a great idea until it breaks. In happy path having default values is better, in mixed path situations, having a separate and reserved way of saying something hasn't been touched is incredibly powerful
Everyone here has provided some good advice about looking for what you are missing. In any part of your life, if your conclusion is "everyone here sucks but me": you are probably missing something. Understand that your equation of "more story points faster = better" is a philosophical decision you are making, that your team does not agree with. Your team may not capture all of their work on a jira board or may scale their tasks differently than you. You may value fast completion of tasks, and they may value slow but intentional design and testing. No one's value can be completely captured "on paper".

Also just chill out about perceived relative effort! If deadlines slip, if bad code is being shipped, then you should be concerned about your coworkers effort. If your team is meeting deadlines, then it is managements responsibility to fill the work queue, if you want more work ask for it. Your job isn't to manage your coworkers who all have their own lives and relationships to the work. If you are worried that you are doing more work for less money, do less work or ask for a raise.

Compare how much money US spends on average per student in public education verse other countries. How do students rank academically in US compared to other countries?

Consider this

If you look at the system without vouchers, there is no market mechanism to correct the situation everyone is complaining about.

There are no incentives. Each year, more and more money is dumped into the system.

If you introduce competition, then schools have to start fixing problems if they want to get the funding.
> changes aren't "refusing to teach kids math", they are a better approach to math

Every mathematician disagrees. The Stanford professor pushing this policy has no math education. (She does have consulting gigs with school districts where they trade a teacher's annual salary for a few hours of Zoom calls [1].)

I grew up in Cupertino and am flying back to the Bay Area. Every friend who is a parent is planning on circumventing this policy by enrolling their kids in more tutoring.

California is dumbing down its poor to sate a private education and education-consulting industry.

Waking up early to work alongside offshore teams helped ruin my ability to sleep in. So it would only be a small stretch for me to start work at 6am, especially for WFH days. And for in-office days a <6am commute would probably be lovely.
Agreed, I've sold on each of those platforms.

Godaddy gets the most traffic but not a lot of "prestige" domains. Good for cheap domains or ones you think could get bid up a lot.

Flippa I like, lots of sales to other domainers. Full site sales are good here as well and their broker service offers good protection. Better for mid-tier domains IMO.

Sedo is the site where most high value domains that aren't a private sale get listed. If you have a solid, valuable domain that could fetch $xx,xxx then try here.
You act like this is a gift of charity instead of attempts to stay relevant.
> It's not really different from getting a content farm to write you a bunch of crap, just cheaper and faster.

Using a gillnet to catch 1,000 fish in an hour is not really different from using a rod and reel to catch a few a day. It's just cheaper and faster.

But the gillnetting can easily lead to extinction and death of an ecosystem whereas recreational fishing rarely does.

Scale matters.
Simply put: why does their religion get money from the state when mine does not?

To be fair, at least on the syscall side, WSL1 was built in kernel space on Pico Processes, not regular NT processes. They very much were able to avoid the windows cruft. It really seemed to be the long tail on compat and the impedance mismatch on the vfs layer that killed it.
Sounds about right from what I've experienced on the ground.

The sheer lack of respect that Brits have for techncial and scientific education is insane. It seems everyone in the UK is trying to target some sort of Finance or Consulting adjacent role or some sort of Government role.

Almost every decisionmaker that I interacted with there appears to be some kind of an Econ, Classics, or Law grad, while similar roles in the US or Canada would have someone with a STEM degree or military service experience.
> That would be fair if OO/FP posts had always mentioned that the ideas were borne out of academia and don't necessarily easily apply in other domains, but that ship has sailed..

OO has been widely adopted because it maps almost perfectly to most domains.

FP is starting to be adopted because first class support from programming languages and frameworks lowered the barrier to entry by eliminating the need to implement all primitives and infrastructure. FP is being adopted because it maps almost perfectly to some domains.

What's your point, exactly?

> To me, it seems like the people who are pushing these policies are doing so to "juke the stats" and make it look like certain demographics aren't as behind academically as they actually are. Statistically, bipoc kids don't do as well in school as white/asian kids, right? I am not trying to make this about race, and I am not suggesting anything other than that statistical reality. But that sentiment seems pretty common when I read about these "equity" programs. "We are doing this to reduce the inequalities between groups X and Y".

They're trying to make the schools fix poverty (whether caused by racism or anything else), in order to avoid directly fixing poverty. It's an endeavor doomed from the start because it rests on the religious belief that success is directly proportional to merit, and merit is best shown by achievement in school.

But we can't have a society of middle-class strivers, because no ditches will be dug, so all you end up with in the fantasy case is a bunch of well-educated ditch diggers who now have massive student loan debts. What you get in the real case is a bunch of people who realize that they can either A) be depressed baristas lamenting their failure to do better with the expensive degree that has given them a lifetime of debt, B) be depressed baristas who don't owe $100K for a useless degree.

It's not compulsory and free primary education that will fix poverty, and it's not the job of teachers to repair all inequity in society (although to the most egomaniacal, it's all they think their duty is.) Just like it isn't college's duty to fix racism. The way you fix these things is by directly addressing them, not explaining to children how to use a bootstrap.
The problem here is "healthy people". Covid's real key to success is the fact that most spread is presymptomatic. It's the apparently healthy people spreading it!

And note the lessons of history:

1) There will always be those who choose short term economic interests over safety when the threat isn't absolutely proven. They'll always close the barn door too late.

2) Places that take epidemic/pandemic threats seriously tend to fare better economically in the long run.
Companies rarely openly say decreased productivity is the reason of RTO. It's always obscured in positive-sounding rhetoric about fostering collaboration, etc. The real reason, whether it is actually became they are not meeting expectations on one extreme, or to stroke the ego of executives on the other extreme, or simply to justify office real estate, is known only to management.

A while ago I made a nice plot of how the prime numbers are distributed. Starting out somewhat wobbly, but getting more evenly spaced for bigger N's. Using irrational numbers and it would often yield amazing patterns.

However my thing is no solution for finding primes, but maybe it can narrow down the search space.

Problems are generic, such as having a tree collection. For solving generic problems, you can either use language generics, or reflection, or type erasure, or codegen. The latter three are about as far from 'boring and clear' as you can get. Still verbose, though, but I don't expect that's a benefit.
So like 1.5%? With US&International based investment returns that means like 40% more money is needed above what's normally required, or say 23 years instead of 19 years of investing.

So that hurts the whole FI/RE thing, but doesn't sound like it would be the primary blocker.
I'm pretty aware of how large a TB bacillus is, thanks.

The NIOSH definition for an N95 is a device able to filter at least 95% of airborne particles that have a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 0.3 micrometers. While SARS-CoV-2 is around 0.1 microns in size, naked COVID-19 viruses in air are rare as they would be torn up nearly immediately, so they are almost always within aerosols. Typical respiratory aerosol range is around half a micron or so [0], and as the aerosol particle size gets smaller, so necessarily must be the amount of virus that is present.

Is this perfect filtration? No, but no one gets sick from a single virus they inhaled either, even with as communicable as the current Omicron variants are. There's a minimum infective dose and they help keep exposure under it.

> The children that went to private schools ended up in a far better place.

Is this a result of the private schooling or does the socioeconomic status of their parents play a significant role?

I attended both and the people that were rich enough to attend private school but were sent to public school anyway still did very well for themselves, not obviously different from those that attended private school.
Bezos is no longer the CEO. It's Andy Jassy.

I agree, AWS (and Amazon Alexa + Ring) seem to be skirting and/or choosing active silence on that "Lambda" outage that took out us-east-1. Alexa had at the very least two full scale outages this year, and Ring was successfully hacked as well.

Amazon's response: "looks like a Lambda... more later" then nothing, nothing, and "it must be a 3rd party skill."

AWS health page: GREEN.

AWS Post-event summaries: non-existent after 2021.

This is quite troubling when you consider what AWS holds in its coffers, along with the number of customers AWS currently has. No transparency, not even strategic transparency, is a definite red flag.

I am in agreement with you.

I’m just saying that developers need to apply discretion rather than following arbitrary “rules” or “patterns”. When to store or derive depends on the use case, of which are infinite.
> But Bobby Baptist's kids going to Jesus Is Lord Day School is assimilating those kids into their society at large

No, I think you're missing the parent's point -- it's assimilating those students into a specific religious subculture whose beliefs and values may be at odds with civil society at large.

(If you have trouble seeing this, try substituting "Jesus Is Lord Day School" in your head for some other implied religions.)
> The problem is not allowing people to take more advanced classes, if they so choose.

The article itself says that students who want to go ahead will get private lessons.

The idea is not stopping people to get more advanced classes, the idea is to cancel more advanced classes as long as "normal pace" classes are not present.

The way it works is that if you put an advanced class and no normal pace class, people who need the normal pace class will fail school over and over again and finally drop out of it, and people will just say "the advanced class is just a normal pace class" without realising it's not the case.
>current idiotic system of school funding being largely based on a how much the houses in the area are worth. The long term consequences are bad and quite predictable.

This hasn't been true for decades:

Almost all federal funds go to poor areas, so much so that they have more funding on average.

I think this is the Pitchbook report they’re reporting on: “PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor 2nd Quarter 2023” https://pitchbook.com/news/reports/q2-2023-pitchbook-nvca-ve...

> Takeaways include:

> Raising capital is now markedly more difficult even at the seed stage, where quarterly deal value declined 26.3% from the prior quarter.

> Trapped capital continues to build in mature startups: Just $12 billion of exit value was realized in the first half of the year, with Q2 deal value coming in at a decade low.

> There are now 50,000 VC-backed companies, double 2016 levels, demonstrating the risks of a prolonged capital shortage.
The funding thing's a red herring. The best-funded schools in my state, with by far the highest spending per pupil, excluding special cases (e.g. schools that are also correctional institutions or otherwise not an ordinary school, so obviously have sky-high costs), are also among the very worst we've got, and it's looked like that for years. Throwing more money at schools in poor areas has had little effect on outcomes—not to say we shouldn't even out funding or even give poor-performing schools extra funding (which we already are doing, and if we just evened out funding, we'd be taking money away from the schools in very-poor areas and giving it to "richer" ones) but it very much does not look like doing that will have much effect on educational outcomes.

Money is part of the cause, but where it comes in is letting parents sort their families into expensive-to-live-in school districts with other parents who could also afford those expensive areas. Their kids tend to be easier to teach for a whole bunch of reasons—which does make the schools more effective, but is not because of extra money spent on the schools. The sorting enabled by money does matter, but the funding itself (received by the schools) does not appear to be a major factor.

Basically, a family pays for school quality in the US no matter what, either directly or indirectly—you pay either with tuition for expensive, good private schools if you're fairly rich, or with real estate and transportation costs if you're not that rich, with a sliding scale all the way down to "practically destitute". The extravagant spending of expensive private schools might result in better education (I'm thinking especially of the very-small class sizes, like 4-8 students per class, and the ability to pay for content-area PhDs as teachers in higher grades—we'd have to triple public school budgets to do that stuff, and that actually wouldn't even be enough because demand would so badly outstrip supply, should we try it) but beneath those relatively-few outliers with far-higher spending, moving spending/budgets up or down a (relatively) little doesn't seem to do much.
> moderators enforcing 'keep off the grass'

That's a good analogy!

These moderators act as angry old men booing people out of their lawn. People who were having innocent and wholesome fun, and overall improving the neighborhood.

It's the same kind of guys who call the police on kids selling lemonade.
We can do both right?
As with most things, the truth is in the middle. This is obvious hyperbole but for the purpose of making a point. There are a __lot__ of useless jobs out there.
Yes, that's true. But also vast majority of transactions are win-win for both sides, creating more wealth for everyone involved.
Having worked at AWS: us-east-1 is probably the easiest region to deploy in (it's old, it's popular, every AWS service is available there), but might just be the worst region to rely on (it's old, it's popular, and every AWS service is available there—but only most of the time).

I vividly remember when AWS Fault Injection Simulator first launched, posting a meme in the #aws-memes slack channel posting a drake meme with the first panel being "Using AWS Fault Injection Simulator", and the second "Deploying in us-east-1".
However when public education is not guided by improving meaningful outcomes, but by ideologues, it needs to be checked. Vouchers sounds like a good way to insert some market dynamics and to allow parents to walk away from schools that are on the path to fail to prepare their kids for the future.

As opposed to parental ideologues? By letting parents choose, we'll be letting them go to different schools championing different value system and the customers will be parents, not the children they ostensibly are charged with educating.

By grouping parents with like-minded parents, we'll amplify groups and clusters, leading to not only further stratification but also further decoupling society and greater inequality.
How cyclical is this? Say there is a middle-class-flight for the next few decades to the Peninsula or Marin, SF deflates for many years, then eventually artists start moving in for the cheap rent and abundant space, and the cycle starts all over again, the $10 cold brews return. I think this was somewhat the case with Downtown Los Angeles.
Last I checked was decades ago, but even then colleges were looking at class rank as GPA could not be compared between schools. SAT scores can be compared, but even then only to others taken the same year (realistically the yearly test changes are small enough that you can safely compare over a few years and be close enough)
Most, but not all things are strategic moves.

Some moves are purely altruistic. Some moves are semi-altruistic - they don't harm the company, but help it increase its reputation or even just allows them to offer people ways to help in order to retain talent. (Which is also kind of strategic, but in a different way.)

Also, some things are just mistakes and miscalculations.
It isn't a strict category like that. It is more like an indicator of the general font lineage the designer considers it to be in.

But plenty of sans fonts have a handful of serifs, particularly on the mistakable chars like l. And especially if they're expected to be used in technical contexts or as an "everything all the time" font like this one.
It makes intuitive sense.

If I speak Japanese at you (and you are a non-Japanese speaker), I will just confuse you. Instead if you spend two years learning Japanese, then I share some information with you in Japanese, you will learn something new and become more knowledgeable.
Thanks for folks pointing out the link to the article on Dallas -- I'll post it here to boost it. https://www.the74million.org/article/dallas-isds-opt-out-pol...

25 years ago I was part of my National Honor Society outreach committee. One of the things I and my committee co-chair did was go to all the "normal" (rather than IB) classes and tell students that with a good GPA they could join NHS (as NHS did have a demographic makeup that wasn't reflective of the school). Students had no idea. The outreach did make a difference. The Dallas experiment, and the tutoring discussion in the article, resonate deeply with my later experiences as a math prof as well. Pushing kids results in higher achievement.
