Religious groups have broad discretion in curriculum in most states.

My kids went to a Catholic elementary school, where I was the school board president. A breakaway group tried to insert a “classical education” curriculum on the school, which is a popular trend in more right-wing Christian schools that was adopted from homeschool curriculum.

The biggest growth in private schooling is in this and similar curriculum. It’s attractive to more reactionary people as they can assert “local control” while using texts that are too old to be considered controversial.

Parents aren’t to blame necessarily, people want what’s good for their kids. But awful elements of society are abusing religion to achieve their social ends. In my case, I was accused of being a “Marxist” for not condemning a fundraiser that provided winter clothing for poor children, including migrants swooped up and shipped across the country. We’ve allowed people to be brainwashed by charlatans.

I expect that when it comes time to sell my house, I'll hire a real estate attorney to make sure all the paperwork is in order, and I'll deal with the rest myself. I engaged an attorney when I bought my house, and she was super thorough.
There are flat rate realtors where I live. However they are only 50%, the still give the same 3.5% to the buyers agent, but they take for themselves a fixed rate to get you on MLS. I'm not sure if it is a good deal - they still charge high prices relative for what they do for you. (it is cheaper than a full agent, but they also do much less)

That doesn't seem very useful for the metrics shown in that article. For hard to find bugs sure, for 95th percentile calculations and so on you can just buy a few computers at a retail store and get the same information.
I make my own decks. Nearly all of it is word + pronunciation (for Chinese/Japanese) + definition + example sentences, with additional fields for words that have several pronunciations/definitions.

I don't have any particular resources to share on this subject (but there is much discussion on /r/anki and /r/medicalschoolanki about it). Broadly I'd say that the most efficient way to use it is to use it consistently, but not to make it your one-and-only practice. It's passive practice, and it's useful for making sure you see idioms and words that might otherwise be uncommon, and it's extremely useful as a searchable database once you've built up your deck, but it can get tedious, and drilling works better as a complement to, rather than a substitution for, practical experience. The move is to limit yourself to ~30 min a day, and use the rest of the time you want to spend on languages for active engagement, like speaking/writing with other speakers of the language, or reading things you're interested in in the target language.

This is presuming perfect knowledge; it's a thought experiment. In this hypothetical world, your insurance company does know that in 13 months you're going to get in a car accident that flings a 1.27mm shard of glass into your eye, that it's going to take 27 minutes to complete the surgery that fixes it, that you'll have an infection after that and the first 2 antibiotics won't work but the third one will.

It's basically just pointing out that perfect knowledge makes risk 0, and that insurance doesn't make sense in a world with no risk. At that point the question is basically just whether you distribute medical costs evenly across everyone or let there be winners and losers on those costs.
> If you home school, you don't get the money back. Public school is something like $12k/yr. That's a lot of money that you're essentially opting out of.

That's not money you have a right to as a parent. I don't take part in all the social programs my government offers, but I don't get all that money back.
I'd tend to agree. The biggest hint for me is how it uses the word "specific" in everything it's writing, as if prompted to be specific when providing summaries.

Using an LLM for writing articles is fine IMO, but not linking to sources is pretty bad.

> If ICANN were to actually step in, all they would realistically do (which, logically, should address your concerns) is designate that .io now stands for Input/Output

Highly unlikely. Two-letter (non-IDN) TLDs are strictly reserved for country codes. This would be a strange time to break that rule, and it'd send a really terrible message, i.e. "if your country's ccTLD falls into the wrong hands, we'll take it away from you forever".
Would you mind sharing the link? I'd also suggest trying to enable "Ignore search results" from the model dropdown for inputs with lots of specific details.
The evidence is weak, but currently leans towards "parents can and actually do a better job than the professionals." This includes parents with low incomes, and includes parents with low educational achievement.

You categorize this as contributing to segregation, but I say that it contributes to diversity. Public school is a hugely homogenizing force and the homogeneity it targets is not necessarily good. I think it is good for society to have a set of people who were raised in an environment with fundamentally different experiences and priorities.

I find it a bit far fetched to suggest that these private religious schools have enough influence to change laws and get tax dollars

The much simpler explanation is that having influence over private schools is very tempting for the govt and the easiest tool is via giving or retaining funding which they don't personally have to pay. They just want to secure votes and influence

> The problem is that the public education sector has been - for years - continuously squeezed dry of any funding.

Lack of funding isn't always the problem. As jawns mentioned, there's a lot of reasons to remove your kids from public school.

> I have two kids, would consider myself very well educated (have a PhD, etc), and I habe absolutely 0 confidence in myself schooling my kids.

Interesting. I'm surprised you feel this way while acknowledging that most educated teachers "aren't really good at it". Perhaps you aren't qualified to teach your kids, and that's okay. At least you have the self-awareness to know they need help from someone else.

> public schooling is obviously an attempt at leveling the playing field between children from different backgrounds.

Yep. But it can also stifle the growth of overachievers.
You can't afford a home for a multitude of reasons I'm sure, least of which is your neighbor insisting you shouldn't.

If you want an affordable home move somewhere affordable. You can't legislate affordable housing for yourself without introducing problems for everyone else. Someone just living in a home they bought is not actively preventing you from affording one, at least, they're the last people you should blame (even after yourself).

I would suggest that the past is likely a good guide in this case. Personal Computers, easier languages, HTML, World Wide Web did not really make non-creative people into creative people. I can really speak for myself. I can copy some things, but I rarely can glue and remix them together in a way that make them desirable. Personally, this is the same way I see the AI. There is potential here sure, but I do not think 2 million angry bird clones is an actual threat to a creative. Now, it will hurt low effort crap, but there is so much low effort crap out there already..
It sounds like the article is about parents holding themselves fully accountable for their children’s education.

The problem is what you do with the parents who do not care at all. People making these statements that “it’s about the parents” - well, it has some truth to it. But when 10% of the students are running the halls, screaming and fighting, beating random kids, having sex and doing drugs in the bathrooms, and assaulting teachers who don’t care anymore, then it doesn’t matter what the other 90% of the parents are doing.
> The company is only 12-years old.

That explains a lot. Not only is it not much time for turnover, but it almost certainly means the original management is still running the show. Trusting in a person is easy, but keeping that company trust for year after year is very hard, especially if the company grows. It only takes one asshole manager to break that trust and once broken it takes many many years to rebuild, if ever.

This happened a lot in the US where companies would cultivate loyalty in their employees throughout the 50s and 60s and even into the 70s. Then the old guard retired and new management came in and started abusing the trust in the name of a higher bottom line--doing mass layoffs, cutting pensions, slashing benefits, outsourcing, engaging in huge stock buybacks with the funds instead of investing in R&D, typical 80s and beyond behavior. Then they went all Pikachu face when employee loyalty dried up and their competitiveness faltered and the companies found themselves unable to compete without government assistance.
According to the blog in the OP, it exists solely to give you the opportunity to advocate your support for mass genocide.
This seems as good a place to ask as any. I've become interested in event sourcing because of a problem it might help with.

Essentially, we have a system where users can log events against assets in the business. These events change the state of the assets and people want to query the current state of the assets. But the problem is people sometimes forget to log events. My thinking is it doesn't matter what order the events get logged, as long the date is recorded correctly. But none of the event sourcing implementations I've seen seem to talk about logging events out of order.

I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree here. It seems like it would be a fairly standard thing in lots of systems but it's difficult to know what to search for.
I'm ready for it to be EOL'd and will attempt to build as little dependence on that substructure as possible.
+1 for its suitability in helping with systems administration.

One responsibility at my current job is administering a Windows server and trying to get it to do things that are easy on a Unix -- that should be easy anywhere -- but, on Windows, seem to inevitably degrade into nightmares.

It doesn't come with a lens though. iPhone is f/1.8 -> f/2.8.

Equivalent is maybe Sigma 24-70 which is constant f/2.8 at an extra 1200 USD.

Not at all for me. I want other people to deal with "the rest of it" so I can do something cool with computers instead of running a business. HN has both types here, which is great for someone like me.

> no agent deserves a 6% commission for simply getting something listed on zillow or MLS

Typically 3% is seller agent commission and 3% is buyer agent commission - although in the paperwork it's most likely 6% to the seller's agent and the seller's agent offers 3% to the buyer's agent.

Although 5% total / 2.5% to each realtor is becoming a bit more popular as of recent, based on the listing I browse.

40% of American adults can't do basic arithmetic[0], which seems like a disaster to me. 88% are apparently incapable of doing things like reading a simple table or comparing two documents and identifying sentences that express the same ideas between them[1][2]. Over 50% apparently can't scroll through a list of information about books and identify the author of a specific book they're told to find. I'll never forget that in 12th grade I took non-AP government, and we were still spending significant time going over the three branches of government again (I'm quite sure this was covered in elementary school) and somehow people were not getting 100% on everything. Other tasks included--not joking--coloring pictures of animals, which the teacher put up around the room.

My school was actually rated decently for the area. Not the best, but pretty good.

> Treating all these scenarios as a single thing that you can hold a single, consistent opinion about suggests to me a lack of familiarity with its wide spectrums along multiple dimensions. It's like passing a judgment on a person based on their race, country of origin, gender, etc.

A huge +1 to this, from observing the many friends I have who do homeschooling. Judging by their results -- super-smart, super-well-behaved children -- has gotten me thinking I'd like to do the same once I have kids.
It is a chicken and egg problem as people won’t walk their dogs outside as much in an unsafe area
My guess for the college admission situation is at least partially because, until recently, a lot of public and private colleges essentially refused to recognize homeschooling as a way to get an education, so your chance of getting admitted was almost zero at a ton of schools. This lead a lot of people (myself included) to essentially join something that's legally an accredited private school, but functionally homeschooling, but you take your exams at a central place at a central time. For statistical purposes, I was private schooled, because that was what I needed to do to make it into college. Actually fully homeschooled people went to community college and then tried and often failed to transfer.
I’ve been watching the saga for years since Alden took over the Denver Post, and their conglomerates bought the local newspapers in all directions from my town, eliminated the local offices and journalists and consolidated them into one office with a skeleton crew staff that no longer publishes much local content.

But my emotionalism about that aside, I think this study does a really good job of explaining what’s going on:

If a family is willing and resourced to (deeply) consider homeschooling because of one subject (you mentioned Algebra for 8th graders[1]), then another less expensive/effortful path could be hiring an afterschool math tutor, or sitting down with your child to work through Khan Academy together.

Both suggestions require extra time, while still keeping your child "within the system" through attending school and (presumably?) receiving a decent-enough education in other non-math subjects. If the malaise extends to (many) other subjects, then I could see how home schooling becomes a more attractive option.

Before .eu we had .eu.org where the country level was administered by so-called Good People (networking techies of the 90s), so you could have e.g. nl.eu.org this was for free. Back then (end 90s) I didn't envision UK leaving EU. I'm from NL, and I cannot envision NL leaving EU either.

But either way I agree with another comment you're better off with a ccTLD of the country where you were born and/or are residing. Though if I were born in Russia and were residing in USA I wouldn't want a .ru domain (unless if I were running a criminal enterprise?). At least not now. I do think it would be cool to own a .su domain. But that's the thing. Cool, not for anything serious. This was cool in the beginning of the internet, with a fun play e.g. on your last name (gongri.jp comes to mind). But nowadays with the internet being deeply rooted into our every day lives, it is no longer the most clever thing to do. Although as a Dutch person, I wouldn't be particularly worried about a .jp domain. We're on friendly terms.
"With correct pronunciation" and "without an accent" are not equivalent qualifiers. There's no such thing as the null accent. Obviously I will have an accent relative to any speaker, since I don't live in an English-speaking community and so I'm not copying the exact pronunciation of any single community, but rather approximately averaging the pronunciations of all the speakers I hear.

Like I said, I have no interest in convincing you. If you can't accept what I say for what it is, continue as you were.
I have always heard "GWAD-uh-LOOP-eh" or "GWAD-uh-LOOP-ay" around where I live but native spanish speakers elsewhere on this thread have said that "GWAD-uh-LOOP" is not that bad of a pronunciation so I imagine it is a highly regional thing.
> 5. Never remove a name.
> Removing a named schema component at any level is a breaking change for programs that depend on that name. Never remove a name.

I agree with this in theory and have seen it go oh so very wrong in practice. Tables with dozens of columns, some of which may be unusued, invalid, actively deceiving, or at the very least confusing. Then a new developer joins and goes "A-ha! This is the way to get my data." ... except it's not and now their query is lying to users, analysts, leadership, anyone who thinks they're looking at the right data but isn't.

You absolutely have to make time to deprecate and remove parts of the schema that are no longer valid. Even if it means breaking a few eggs (hopefully during a thorough test run or phased rollout)
You could argue then that this reduces the barrier to entry for people to become game developers.

Isn’t everything you just listed (physics engine, UI, collide entities) how you make a simple game? It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t have networking code, shaders, or sound. Those things can be added later.

I don’t think it’s productive to gatekeep who is and isn’t a game developer. They developed a game, that makes them a game developer—it doesn’t matter how they got there.
