Growing up, I had friends from 3 different families of kids that were homeschooled.

The first was my neighbor. I’m not really sure why his parents homeschooled him. He was an only child, and strikingly similar to the character of Cartman from Southpark. Him mom was also strikingly similar to Cartman’s mom. He didn’t learn anything, as his mom was not very strict about making sure he did his lessons. He had terrible social skills and very few life skills, which all came from hobbies that he pursued. He was an intelligent kid, and is struggling today due to generally poor work ethic and few job skills.

The second family was a typical anti-government family with cult-like religious beliefs. They believed God was in charge of their reproductive systems and had way more children than they could care for. It was a huge family. The first born was able to secure a job as an airline attendant, and led a reasonably normal life. Last I heard, many of the rest had succumb to methamphetamine and/or opioid addictions and have been in and out of jail. All of them were substantially undereducated, several with severe speech impediments and none with GEDs or high school diplomas.

The last family were the kids of my family’s pastor. They were generally successful. Their parents were strict, but very involved in their kids’ education. In many ways, they were successful - ahead in reading and math. They were somewhat poorly adapted socially, but had enough relationships through the church to overcome it.

In my experience, it can be a positive thing for children. The success of the children really depends on how involved parents are in making sure their kids needs are met. Sadly, it also seems like many parents who choose to homeschool do so because they don’t personally value education.

Some balance of homegeneity and wealth seem to produce high trust societies. You can see many wealthy nations with low trust (US) and likewise very homogenous nations with similar issues (SEA, India, African). You could argue that tribal/ethnic/caste differences cause the issues but regardless, homogeneity appears to be a contributing factor.

At the same time you could chalk it up to cultural differences. Japan is unique, and Finland is sparsely populated. Smaller communities tend to be higher trust, even in the US.
Not looking deeply at the technical side of the answers, but the time of GPT4's answer is very casual/conversational (it starts with "Alright, listen up." and keeps that tone throughout).

I think you might get a better answer if you rewrote your prompt using full sentences and more formal language.
It took me a minute to parse this comment! I wonder how many names you recognized; it's a big list. Are you suggesting that all these folks are giving free speech a bad name by uttering the wrong kind of speech?
this why i dont even bother reading the 'evals' or how its better i test it out myself and it seems always to not be true

Were they actually socialized for thousands of years? The average (sub)urban school in the US teaches more kids every day than the average person would have come in contact with in their entire lives, often ten times over. Most people were subsistence farmers and didn't travel very far from their little village in their entire life.
> [Tim Robbins] is about the only name I recognise that I wouldn't have immediately placed in the "giving free speech a bad name" category.

You think Steven Pinker, Julian Assange, Richard Dawkins, John Cleese, Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali “[give] free speech a bad name”?
India is playing both sides, not acting like a leader of the free world.

They need to lose the caste system and stop buying Russian gas. That would be a start, but more beyond that if this century "were to belong" to them. I think the idea of a century belonging to one country is ludacris.

I find it rather unlikely homeschool process had anything to do with, esp. Rust. At that age I did mostly assembly but that was just personal search/no teaching. Overall the kid is just an anecdote.
Did anyone find the fine print on what you agree to when you use their service? I am not surprised whatsoever.
Yes, his celebrity and fame stem from the performance, not the art. He could still have a long and successful celebrity career, periodically making waves with more commercialized and staged performances. Like Banksy, but with a good face and real backstory.
I disagree with your analysis. I think they will limit the amount emails with garbage that people don't want to see if they risk getting their entire domain blocked over it.

I also don't think it's complicated for the "little guys". The solution to avoid getting banned is simply to not send mass spam. It's not rocket science, don't mass email people knowing that they get mad at you when see your emails in their inbox.

Small anecdote: speed reading is mostly bullshit but when I took a course it showed me how to approach books and new content in a different and more useful way. I usually just started from the beginning and started reading.

Now I look at the cover, back, chapter list, flip through the chapters a few times looking for high-level things that pop out, do it again, then look through the index for things that have lots of references. Then I can start reading the book, and I have a better idea of what I'm in for. Plus it's much easier to be engaged when you aren't so religious about the 'right' way to use a book.

That kind of thing has let me learn stuff I would otherwise feel too intimidated or unsure about.
I've worked retail. Employers try shenanigans like that, but it backfires because the lines get long and people start looking at alternatives. Business suffers, and then either they hire the people back or they go out of business.

There is always the threat of laying off staff instead of paying more, but only a relatively minor portion of management is enough of a maniac to actually go through with it. I worked at a McDonalds during a minimum wage hike (you can tell this was a long time ago), and while everybody said it would result in cut staff few went through with the threat. Sure you could find examples here and there, but at the end of the day they were already operating with the minimum amount of staff they could get away with. There was no slack in the system.

McDonalds corporate even realized this and started talking up fully automated restaurants. I think they even built a pilot store somewhere. They dust it off anytime people start talking about minimum wage hikes, even though it makes no sense economically even if we were to double the minimum wage overnight.
There's obviously a static load level where it makes more sense to have an always-on server vs. a FaaS and you need to monitor that boundary point.

The point of doing something like this "Lambda Monolith" is that transitioning to an always-on server is trivial. I've been doing this exact setup for a while and our static costs basically evaporated. Seeing your costs drop below a dollar/month on a project you are building is amazing. As soon as one of our projects is large enough, we move it to a dedicated instance or cluster. This allows us to delay that point until we have enough revenue to justify the costs.
I agree, but the irony is that this company (Framery) is producing soundproof pods and booths for people to work in. Check their products page :-)
No, it is not when she gets paid millions of USD, money that could be spent making Firefox better, which it needs a lot.
Letters of marque aren't transferable, so making them NFTs is kinda silly. Their entire purpose is that the state has entrusted you, captain of the ship, to abide by certain rules (don't plunder our ships, take prisoners when possible).

That said, cyber-privateering is actually a good idea. Cyberwarfare is in the same space as naval warfare was in the 17th century: it's not really an overt act of war, it's mostly committed by criminal organizations with the occasional big news state actor action, and there's a lot of money to be made.
I’d guess the intersection of both tech has low training content so it starts dreaming. If you break up the question into “AppleTV API” (or whatever the primary terms are), then use that context for C# it might work better? Isolate the Apple bit so it uses more specific parts of the training.

SQLite 3.44: Interactive release notes
Pretty much everything I know I picked up in community college about six years after graduating high school with a 2.6 GPA. I like to think I'm a smart and empathetic person. I would love to meet the person who got to use those innate skills at a young age instead of having to dredge up whatever remained after a decade of neglect.
The standardizing on VS code is one of the saddest developments over the last several years IMHO. I think it's great that VS Code exists, but we're headed for a world where you have to use VS Code if you want the best tooling because it won't support other options. The same thing happened with Java dev and IntelliJ, and IMHO it has been extremely unhealthy for the ecosystem. I'm immensely glad that Copilot supports vim, but I'm fearful that it soon won't.
I'm glad there's growing competition, but GPT4 still outperforms. Here's a recent question I asked:

Could you please provide me with a query for my PostgreSQL table? It consists of three columns: 'id,' 'teaser,' and 'full_text,' all of which are of type 'text.' Most 'full_text' entries are articles around 1000 words in length. I'd like to update the 'teaser' column for each row with the first approximately 200 words from the 'full_text' column. How can I achieve this?

Phind:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_first_n_words(text, integer)
RETURNS text AS $$
DECLARE
word_count integer := 0;
word_start integer := 1;
word_end integer;
BEGIN
WHILE word_count < \$2 AND word_start <= length(\$1) LOOP
word_end := position(' ' in \$1 from word_start) + 1;
IF word_end = 0 THEN
word_end := length(\$1) + 1;
END IF;
word_count := word_count + 1;
word_start := word_end;
END LOOP;
RETURN substring(\$1 from 1 for word_start - 1);
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

GPT4:

UPDATE your_table_name
SET teaser = (
SELECT STRING_AGG(word, ' ')
FROM (
SELECT SPLIT_PART(full_text, ' ', i) AS word
FROM generate_series(1, 200) AS i
) AS words
WHERE word <> ''
)
WHERE full_text IS NOT NULL;
Yes, I don’t disagree, I just think in practice they do the job very poorly. I’ve tried many things over the years trying to make this work but honestly have found nothing that works at the high end.

At the low end of engineering, yeah, code reviews matter a ton and do catch bugs even if they’re basically just peephole inspections.
Yes, agreed about Starlink. But that's why I said "something like". The point being $18B feels like a lot of money, most of which - I'm presuming - is going to go to putting holes in the ground (i.e., digging trenches).

Perhaps Elon can crank out a mini Boring Company machine and save the country $10B?
I think you're proving my point. Cheating is understood to be so rampant in the game at this point that legitimate players have backed off.

> but I regularly see stuff I report to them left online for weeks.

What kind of abuse are you reporting? The few reports I send about spam tend to take a bit longer than the rest (since I need to send along email headers, etc.) but I've never had reports take weeks.

> Is there something that works better than their online reporting form?

I've used both Twitter and the form, there's been a few times where I've had to nudge them, but with the hundreds of reports I've done I'd say they're definitely one of the best domain registrars at handling abuse, some registrars I don't even bother reporting to anymore because they refuse to do anything whatsoever (dynadot, openprovider, godaddy, nicenic, key-systems to name a few)

> Domains used for things like URL shorteners or free form/survey/website builders that get abused by phishers over and over and over again stay online too. Domains that eventually take down a single URL within a few weeks after it's reported, but do nothing to prevent the next one or the next one or the next one.

That's a case I rarely come across but yeah that does sound like they handle it poorly, in my opinion they should be suspending the entire domain if the service is repeatedly slow at taking action.

I have never been homeschooled or homeschooled my children, but as someone who personally knows a looooot of homeschoolers, this has got to be the most accurate assessment of homeschooling I've seen.

The various people I know who homeschool do it for different reasons; like you mentioned, some are entrepreneurs who need to stay mobile as a family, some have lost hope in the educational system and its ability to educate, and one particular friend who is in Mexico has his children in a co-op that consists of a large group of like-minded friends where they divide the curriculum based on area of expertise (e.g., the mechanical engineer teaches math, the fitness couple teaches physical education, the history buff teaches history, etc.).

I don't have the network for a co-op, but hands down, that would be my school of choice for my kids.
I had someone (childless i might add) try to make me feel guilty for pulling my kids out of a school circling the drain and into a high performing one in the name of diversity. I told them, when the time comes, if they want to sacrifice their child on that altar then it's their decision but don't ask me to sacrifice mine.
The randsomware seems like a side issue. Evidently, your health provider doesn't care that much about your health records. Even ignoring security issues, they had no reliable backup. A fire would have produced this result.

"we can do these things instead of paying you more"

In short, yes and it makes sense. If a company treats you as shit, the compensation needs to be higher. If they treat you as a human and you know they don't screw you whenevery they have the chance - at least I rather work for such a company even with lower compensation. But for sure, every employer would like to have more money and also better work conditions ...
>I mean we know that compensation isn't the primary factor for most people's happiness and satisfaction in their professional life.

It isn't, but housing is, and housing costs money, a lot of money in the last few years.

Thank you. I came here to say this. We're homeschooling, and I made the mistake of reading the train wreck of comments on the Post article. It was irritating how many people were absolutely certain of what homeschooling is and what its shortcomings (or successes) are, when it's nowhere close to being one thing. Homeschooling is defined by what it is not.

Homeschooling because of COVID policies in public schools? Ok, there are some of those, some because things were too strict, some because things were too lenient. For religious reasons? Yes, some people want more of their religion, some want less of others'. Are the parents teaching? Sometimes, sometimes it's a co-op, sometimes it's online, sometimes it's at a community college. (Usually it's a mixture.) Then there are "non-location based charter schools" where the parents receive some of the state per-student funding, ...

It's really hard to find a common thread between all of these scenarios, because there isn't one. Other than not being in a public school. Er... at least, not being in a public school for most of the day, since some people do use bits and pieces from public schools.

The original British sod who bought the lot has already made off with ill-gotten gains.

But the private equity company that currently owns it bought it from him.

So I fail to see how the current PE owner has any legitimate claim to own the TLD.

They "own" stolen property.

ICANN should rip it from their hands, then re-bid it as a gTLD.

If the same PE company wants to rebuy it... that's their business, and fairly done.

Socialisation here means "learn to accept arbitrary hierarchies and petty injustices as the natural state of the world," not "learn to respect other people as human beings." In fairness, the former probably maps better to the real world.
Exactly this. Often with complaints about FF performance someone comes along and says something like the above, about JS or my laptop's hardware, or etc, but if Chrome, with all its shitty tracking, can make those same sites load just fine on nearly any machine, then FF should be able to do the same if it wants more users. I don't care about your browser's problems and exceptions to decent performance. I shouldn't be expected to filter the sorts of sites I visit for the sake of making sure they don't harm my delicate little FF instance. I just want the damn thing to work as other browsers apparently can.

Do I need a bank account in my holding company to receive money from a SAFE?
I reside in LATAM and I am in the process of opening an exempted company in the Cayman Islands (holding company) and an LLC in Delaware (subsidiary).

I plan to raise capital with SAFE notes, and the SAFE notes are going to be issued by the holding company in Cayman.

When asked if I need a bank account in the Cayman Islands, or can I receive the transfer from the investors to the LLC, the Cayman registration agent told me:

"We strongly encourage clients to open a bank account with Banks where a relationship already exists. Banks in the Cayman Islands are not generally open to opening accounts for persons and companies not resident and with physical presence on the Island. There is no requirement from a Cayman Islands law perspective that the company has a Cayman Islands bank account. The account may be located anywhere in the world."

Given this, my lawyer told me:

"The Cayman company can have an account in a bank that is not in Cayman, how long it takes to open it and who will accept it or not depends on each bank. What I advise you is that if the SAFES are going to be issued by the Cayman company then the bank account is opened by the Cayman company and not by the LLC to avoid later having to do legal and accounting work to justify the entry of the money into the LLC with SAFEs granted by the Cayman company.

The LLC can also have its bank account and the money can go there, but it is more practical accounting and legally speaking for the money to go into the company that grants the SAFE."

So my questions are:
1. Is it really possible to open a bank account in the USA with a company in another country as my lawyer told me? I'm searching the internet and what I understand is that that is not possible.
2. Should I look for another agent in Cayman that provides a Cayman bank account if such a thing exists? Or should I receive payments from the investors in the subsidiary LLC even though the SAFE was made over the company in Cayman? If the latter is so, is there any accounting justification process that I should take into account?

I will continue to seek legal and professional advice. I would just like to know if anyone had similar experiences, considering Cayman is one of the countries accepted by YCombinator and many VC funds.

Kicking someone off Twitter or banning their Facebook profile doesn't make anyone safer. It's as much theater as putting your liquids in a plastic bag to go through airport security is.

If someone is a threat there are ways to handle that. This includes threats originating online - there's actually no difference in how they're handled in my experience. If someone isn't a threat and they're just saying things you don't like, perhaps the correct course of action is to either ignore them, or learn to deal with reading things you don't like.
This does not honestly seem true for the main sql databases. For everything else, yes, but if people were actually learning databases instead of hiding from them most of the uptake there wouldn’t exist anyway.
Ironically, there is evidence that money is still the primary driver of job selection (above meaningful work), based on the assumption that money will make them more happy.

uIP is an implementation of the TCP/IP protocol stack intended for small 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers. It provides the necessary protocols for Internet communication, with a very small code footprint and RAM requirements - the uIP code size is on the order of a few kilobytes and RAM usage is on the order of a few hundred bytes.
