> Charter schools do this by various selection effects, and artificial barriers, like ending at noon on a Wednesday. So the only kids who go there have two parents, one who probably is stay at home and can pick the kid up

This would be a more effective filtering technique if inconvenient minimum days weren't common in regular public schools.

The most effective filtering technique used by charter schools is... being a charter school.

Because it isn't the default option public school based on residency and requires an active choice, it automatically filters for active parents.

And because for most of the potential student base its farther from their default public school, it selects for logistical flexibility (loosely correlating to wealth and/or having a parent at home) as well.
I think the 1923 group would out perform at the a mile walk completion, simply from age effects alone.

I agree the strongest would be 2023.

I agree that health can have complex and variable definitions. It is also very different than life expectancy.

One measure of health may be baseline fitness and ability to care for ones self. Alternatively, health could be freedom from disability, pain, and health related suffering.

Another definition of health, which I was originally getting at, is how many people rely on continuous medical services to remain alive. That is to say, how many people would drop dead if they stopped receiving medication and medical services.

This baseline, pre-intervention health is relevant if you want to compare health costs.

I agree that it is different that post-intervention health, which might be the most relevant of you want to consider something like quality of life.

It is a shame we dont have better data from the earlier 20th century.

Having to invest time and money into the antenna is definitely what's stopped me from using OTA up to this point. Especially given that our location is between multiple broadcast points so it's not as simple as pointing an antenna in one direction, it would have to be a multi-directional antenna. Last I looked a decent one of those wasn't cheap.

"Microsoft said it observed in-the-wild abuse of the maximum rated 10.0 vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-22515, since September 14, some three weeks before Atlassian’s public disclosure on October 4. A bug is considered a zero-day when the vendor — in this case Atlassian — has zero time to fix the bug before it is exploited."

Very nice! :) I also had a similar itch a while back and built https://gamescape.app (during the pandemic). Different focus -- all about shared maps and tokens rather than a "full" VTT. Plan is for it to be free forever. Can't work on it anymore since I started a startup that eats 100% of my time, but totally usable (my group uses it every week :) ).

I want to create an intelligent CRM that gets users from your database automatically, and categorizes each user with behaviors. Do you think it is a good idea? I talked with some users but they are choosing traditional CRMs over mine. Is this a wrong positioning or just the idea doesn't solve any problems? Thanks!
Riiight. Another cryptocurrency solution. crypto falls into the same category of untrustworthiness as the rest of these so called solutions. The only difference is the that crypto has a more murky past.
Subscription cost for entertainment is so high, and the quality of entertainment is so low, I can't help but think that most people keep these subscriptions purely out of habit and a BIG shift in consumption patterns is bound to occur. The shift will be to offline, generative software, or offline physical media. Online consumption will be limited to periodic cheap/free options like PBS Newshour, PBS Kids, newsletters, podcasts, and similar. Ideally we'd even see a re-uptake of media like a daily local or regional paper.

Personally, I think this shift could really improve society, the state of people's minds, and encourage more offline time without some draconian top-down time-limit. And all thanks to increasing the price and decreasing the quality of streaming content until you break the relationship. Cool!
If that was necessarily true, companies could get away with literally anything by doing it slowly.

It's not true though because unlike frogs, humans are capable of making judgments based on the first and second derivatives.

> There's also the slight difference that the military has socialized health care. When your kid is sick you take them to the doctor and that's that

Reminds me of a past vacation. Had a friend that was a pediatrician in the Army, based in Hawaii. We were all hanging out at the beach, and a kid cuts his hand on something. The friend walks over, says he's a doctor, asks if he can help out. The kid has a very apprehensive look on his face, so the friend smiles and says "I know, you're not sure I'm a doctor because I haven't asked your parents for their insurance"
How much a month?

That is insane.
True.

If you remember the world before 12 factor you know that even if motivated by self serving incentives, Heroku making this mainstream has been an overall win for the entire industry and we are generally better and more secure for them having done so. We are still benefitting from all of this today, and Heroku who championed it is making death rattles.
These are good points to consider.
> “The military isn’t perfect — there is still racism in the military,” said Leslie Hinkson, a former Georgetown University sociologist who studied integration in Defense Department schools. But what is distinctive, she said, “is this access to resources in a way that isn’t racialized.”

Racism in the military is a career ender for officers and enlisted kind of like getting a DUI but worse. What is more in the system is a "good ole buddy system", where high performers often do favors for each other across racial, preference, and gender lines.

My parents both taught in California and I've been friends with many from DoDEA and here is a TLDR;

Please hold the downvoting for political reasons

-Engaged parents, most are NCOs, officers and civil servants

-Well Funded, like, $1M+ housing area school districts

-Low ratios of teachers to students

-All students are US citizens or foreign nationals from partner nations

-Great teachers, some overseas location have insane competition for teacher slots, some professors jump to DoDEA slots

-bilingual students that are smart seems the norm

-no problems with illegal aliens, or ESL brand new to English swamping 20% of the class particularly at higher grades like what happens in some parts of CA

-Some locations have DoDEA are the very choicest in the US military, so they attract the creme de la creme of overachievers competing for very limited slots

I'd describe the DoDEA schools as similar to the very best public schools in the US, but you can find other government schools that run similar programs to DoDEA

I went to Maui and got tossed around in some big crashing waves. One time a bunch of water, and probably sand, got shoved into my ears by the force of the wave churn. I was pretty deaf for a day or two, but then eventually woke up one morning with black ooze all over my face and pillow, perfect hearing, and my tinnitus was gone.

I also dramatically reduced eating cheese and anything with lots of gelatin or thickeners in it.

That's a reasonable rebuttal. I suppose the crux of the argument is, "Can a startup become a billion dollar company fully remote?" Cleary, the answer to that is yes (Zapier, Hashicorp, Gitlab [two out of three which have IPOd, and all three are collectively worth >$10B]). So what's the rebuttal to that? So what? Office would be better? If so, bring the data and show that. Otherwise, it's an argument from emotion, PR, controlling the narrative, whatever, and not data driven.

The most ignored piece of content on this page
While that does seem like a nice idea, I highly doubt it'll materialize because of the sheer cost of ロケハン(location hunting). Atleast some of the key staff would need to visit every prefecture in Japan to take photos, gather local material(a lot of which might not exist online), which would cost time and money; both things the anime industry lacks.

Collaboration between different studios is also not viable because barring some exceptions (PA Works in Toyama, Kyoto Animation in Kyoto/Nara), almost all the studios are concentrated in Western Tokyo.

Unless, if the anime was crowdfunded. Maybe.

(I don't currently work in the industry; I'm just voicing my personal opinion.)
Has the fsf ever sued anyone for violating gpl? I'd donate for that. Not because I want to destroy them, just push companies to release their mods.

Based on what I've read about the ras pi hardware, without any info here, I'd guess all these smaller devices have secret blob images and use of undisclosed or nonpublic apis from the hardware makers, and they can't disclose them. We should reverse engineer them, get the hardware makers to disclose them. I've further read one reason for this is wanting to control their hardware, but also because there can be patent encumbrances about capabilities, not disclosing apis hides that. Of course these are problems the gpl wants to fight too.
Both the eccentric family and the night is long… are based on novels by Tomihiko Morimi, and have a similar flavor. He’s sort of a champion of an ideal of a magical Kyoto, centering around nightlife and private clubs. And I believe there is talk of a third novel of the Eccentric Family. I love the anime adaptations of his work, the novels themselves in translation I do not care for.
Basically every single tool available can support this, and so much much more.

I wouldn’t suggest you change, but to suggest this method is in any way superior to actually learning the tools and how they work is ridiculous.

And if a DM can’t spare the hour or so to reach parity with this method, that’s gonna be a long term problem for the table.
Personally, I would market this and build it out for any other TTRPG system but Dungeons & Dragons. I absolutely love Dungeons & Dragons but I think the writing is on the wall that DnD Beyond is going to get the lion's share of all digital DnD spending, especially for newer players. There's always going to be holdouts who don't like the corporate direction, but the majority are going to use DnD Beyond because of how well integrated it all is, and that will include both 2d and 3d tabletops soon enough. So if you're planning on turning it into a side hustle, you're probably better off targeting say Call of Cthulu players, or Fiasco players or Fate players etc.
All of those have multiplicative effects. Good home/parents make students more motivated, good teachers are able to work well with motivated students, capable classrooms are able to handle more demanding classes. I don't suspect socioeconomic integration matters here though if everyone is getting the same treatment. Standardization is also good when we see wildly different results in different classrooms. Harder to do in more fragmented and less well funded school districts.

But these are all well known factors. Not much to learn drom here, but it's nice to see it confirm the theory.
Some light-switches have the "smarts" to turn on and off at certain times, built right into them. Therefore, you might lose access to the external tool you used to program them, and they'll happily continue on repeating the behaviors. You might try a hard reset, often using a paperclip to depress a microswitch though a small hole on the light switch itself.
Incorrectly titled. The "smart" devices from the first part of the article ARE the midwit solution. The better devices in the rest of the article are the actual right-end-of-the-bell-curve solutions.

This is a fallacy of composition. A hearing to evaluate one proposal in one country is not 'The EU is doing a thing', any more than a hearing in a US state legislature or even in Congress is equivalent to a law being passed.

The thing is the Tech community doesn't have a clear and simple response to CSAM, although CSAM has proliferated with the growth of the internet. Nobody cares about the technical excuses; people care about the absence of any clear effort to reduce its availability and spread. Absent technical measures, people will continue to demand legislative ones.

The real issue is cost of development.

The whole Falcon program, including new engines, Falcon Heavy, reusability, human rating, multible launch sites all in all cost considerably less then 4 billion $.

The Ariane 6 alone cost 5 billion and likely the total cost until it launched is gone be quite a bit more.

But what people dont understand is that lots of parts of the Ariane 6 arent in its own budget. The upper stage engine has been in development for 20 years. The solid booster tech is its own thing. The core engine is a minimal evolution over the earlier version.

A lot of institutions involved in the development have their own seperate government funding.

If it takes you 5$ billion to do a minimal evolutionary update of the Ariane 5 (with parts already developed for the Ariane 5 ME). Then what would it have cost to develop a totally new reusable booster? 10 billion? 20 billion?

Europe also talks about crew vehicles, but that gone also cost them 7-12 billion the way they develop, and thus it will never happen.

The question is: what do you do about children with discipline problems whose parents don't care?

By all accounts, there are many of these kids. A portion of them are special needs and they at least have a path for what people want to do with them, even if special education doesn't have all the resources they need... there's at least an answer to "what should we do?".

But what should we do with the rest?

Type Theory and Formal Proof is one of the better books I've found. It starts with untyped lambda calculus and works up to a dependently typed proof calculus in gradual steps. So if you are looking for a book then that's one of the better introductions and has a bunch of good exercises.[1]

Those are still part of the greater San Francisco/Seattle metro areas though. As in like no one variable might explain everything, but compounding tech money with the limits of geography might just be a double whammy. And the BART isn't very good and Caltrain has limited coverage, so proximity still matters a lot. And Seattle has atrocious transit. In Chicago, living in the suburbs isn't so bad because the trains are so good (relatively).

And then add rampant NIMBYism on top of that, especially from people who bought in early, and it's a disaster for subsequent generations of would-be residents.

"You" can :-) But fair comment. For many people, OTA offers good enough live TV. I live at the base of a hill blocking me from the nearest major city about 40 miles away. I've never been able to pick up anything OTA even before digital signals; there was even a big "external" antenna in the attic installed by the previous owner to no avail before he just got a big C-band dish. Even a lot of radio is pretty bad.

I was able to get cable TV before taking any extreme measures.

You know what other measuring system is based around highly composable numbers?

It's not metric. It's the imperial system. Halves, thirds, quarters are all neat numbers. It does get a little weird because we only use feet, yards, and miles today, but there is a progression from inch to mile that all make sense to some degree.

Similarly with volumes. You can get from teaspoon to gallon without having to worry about any weird decimals.

The only thing metric really has going for it is uniformity of conversion.

People shit on it, but the imperial system is not actually that horrible.

> It requires a total ordering and an aggregation function

Yes. And note that this is true even for just a single person's utilities, i.e., without even getting into the issues of interpersonal comparison. For example, a single person, just to compute their own overall utility (never mind taking into account other people's), has to be able to aggregate their utilities for different things.

> if both exist, then there is a representation where utilities can be represented as (a subset of) the reals.

Yes. In more technical language, total ordering plus an aggregation function means utilities have to be an ordered field, and for any reasonable treatment that field has to have the least upper bound property (i.e., any sequence of members of the field has to have a least upper bound that is also in the field), and the reals are the only set that satisfies those properties.
