It is not. Curriculum is decided far above the heads of the districts, as is standardized testing. Funding is a problem, though, how much of a problem is wildly variable depending on where you are.
I'm also far from replacing my M1. But if someone from an older generation of Intel Macs considers upgrading the marketing is off as well.

If competition is fierce for leads because there is a glut of workers due to nearly zero requirements to become one, one would expect rates to plummet. Which, I suppose, is why we have a collusion situation here.
FYI, here's what an example seller's contract from northeast FL MLS looks like:

>> Broker will cooperate with and compensate, as stated below, NEFMLS brokers and any broker who reciprocates with NEFMLS. For finding a buyer ready, willing and able to purchase the Property, SELLER will pay BROKER, no later than the date of closing, a broker transaction fee of 5% of the Purchase Price, whether a buyer is secured by BROKER, SELLER, or any other person. BROKER agrees to offer cooperating broker compensation of: 2.5% of the Purchase Price to a single agent for a buyer; or 2.5% of the Purchase Price to a transaction broker for a buyer; or 1% of the Purchase Price to a non-representative broker.

>> If no cooperating broker compensation is offered, the Property cannot be placed in NEFMLS. SELLER hereby directs closing attorney/settlement agent to disburse at closing all compensation to brokers payable hereunder

So in this case, the seller's broker is entitled to 5%, of which 2.5% is required to be shared with a buyer's broker, if existent.

In the event that no buyer's broker exists... it would be a conversation with the seller's broker as to how to dispose of the 2.5% (refund to the deal, etc.).
Those shows are so formulaic, they have to do something to entertain themselves I suppose.

You'd be surprised because these industries have figured these problems out. What is allow without license, what needs royalties, what needs permission, and what can't be done. This was a huge conversation in the 90's and you can find many discussions about hip hop (around sampling) and copyright law.

Your culture is not in danger, even if you don't know its history. I'd suggest learning it though, because that's the best way to ensure your culture stays out of danger (a culture I am also part of fwiw).
Note that DocuSign does not automatically provide this as well in Europe. For example, in Germany, digital signature is not legal at all. So for every occasion, DocuSign is mainly used as a binding in a nonlegal way (for example, employee and employer agreed on paper that there will be a contract). But until both of you signed a physical copy, this is not legally binding at all.

> Yes there is, it's crime. Street lights deter crime.

> Also simply driving safety. Driving with just headlights causes more accidents than on a well-lit street, since visibility is so much worse.

Accepting your points for convenience, wouldn't we get the same benefits with lights that only pointed downward? And if you further restrict to warmer colors (which interfere less with low-light sensitivity, also less diffraction reducing light pollution), with a sensible but low max intensity (again keeping the human eye more dark-sensitive, allowing better visibility into the non-illuminated spaces)?

Reducing nighttime lighting by 50% would make a huge difference in sky visibility.

Just about my only complaint is I wish there was a way to more quickly cancel saving a duplicate file. When the prompt appears with "this file already exists, do you want to overwrite?" it's much faster to just click "yes" than to click "no" and then drag the mouse down to "cancel" to close the window. Do this once it's no biggy. Do it hundreds or thousands of times and it gets obnoxious. Waste of bandwidth and disk writes, or waste of time.

I know that sounds dumb, but it's one of the only pain points I have.

very interesting.

There is some few-years-old inhouse eventsourcing system that starts to choke on few dozen million events, because of.. many reasons. And there was a plan to scrap it and rewrite. Though the new one may or may not be pure eventsourcing - as long it does the job (tracking claims and all their follow-up, like communications etc, with full audit i.e. "why-this-is-so").

So... for about an year i have been toying with the idea to use a bitemporal database (xtdb) instead of eventsourcing, using the particular-state-of-db for any business processing as-of-its-timestamp. Parallelizing the sagas as much as needed/allowed-as-of-business - as long as they can get their as-of time-cut (and also replicating the database (== indexes == "reading-aspect") as much as needed).

Although, as that is somewhat higher level than just what eventsourcing gives, that means maybe rewriting a bit more than just the data-storage/access, i.e. some layer of the saga's business logic as well - e.g. the notion of readmodel disappears, being replaced by a query to the bitemporal-db as-of-time-x.

Then a few weeks ago i stumbled upon EventStoreDb, and thought that... maybe it can be used to replace just the data-storage/access, and not having to rethink the business logic above that (still may need some rewrite, but hopefuly not completely reverse-engineer + splitting notions).

Now i see even more alternatives :)

The funny thing is.. i have not tried either approach for real, yet. But going to.. very soon. There is now a project and resources for it..

> 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.

Money spent ≠ value provided. My kid's class has over half a million dollars spent on it per year. But many parents see it as merely childcare, and then spend more money on after school tutoring and activities.

I can see the appeal of skipping the schooling and doing the other activities during the school day. It's probably much easier/cheaper to get appointments before 2, when most kids are in school. And there's more flexibility in terms of scheduling. I just heard today that a family was threatened with being kicked out of our local school if they accrued 10 days of unexcused absences (which includes vacation days). While I don't think the school would actually kick the family out, the fact that this is even floated as an idea sounds crazy.

Kind of wild and weirdly refreshing to finally see the "everyone is in it for themselves and their own" attitude on fully overt display in this article's comments. Usually it's masked behind talk of "freedom" and "individuality," but here, it's raw and out there in the open!

FWIW I probably could afford to send my kid to a better private school or alternate-schooling group, withdrawing from the community and not-so-great public school system, but I don't because then I'm just another contributor to the inequality problem. We Live In A Society.
That's completely fair. In pursuit of a headline (and a character count limit), the nuance hit the cutting room floor.
The point isn't that it's not self-aware. Most likely its preamble explicitly says it can't tell its capabilities.

But it's just a LLM, so you can trick it with prompt engineering to give up that info.

Your list of “mind-boggling” items all seem extremely reasonable to me.

Your city and neighbors don’t want to be responsible for or have to deal with your house falling down because it was improperly constructed. And having lived in neighborhoods with septic systems most of my life, a little neglect can go a long way.

Unless you’re building in the middle of nowhere (far from anything labeled a “city”), there are obligations to those around you.

> If 75% have diabetes (or don't have diabetes -- either way), then 75% accuracy is also the accuracy of a naive coin flip.

I don't think that's right. Always answering yes is going to have 75% accuracy if the prevalence is 75%, but always answering no will have 25% accuracy, and the coin flip will pick both of those equally (and uncorrelated with whether the individual has diabetes or not).
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism

Start there.

The message to which I responded attempts to disqualify October 7th as terrorism by rhetorically suggesting that other events may or may not be terrorism.

Which is a particulalry dumb fallacy to attempt to advance. Whether or not anything else is terrorism has no bearing on whether or not October 7th was. Even if it is all terrorism.

If they want to justify october 7th, they should drop the particularly unskilled act of cowardice via wordsmithing.

Their immoral disposition is revealed when they attempt to equate "Israeli Settlers" (civilians living their lives, and who didn't own guns let alone specifically focus them on civilians) to those who specifically targeted civilians for mass murder as a means of intimidation and sparking a War.

Which is precisely the logic of Hamas. So again, they should drop the act and be more direct about 10/7.
In all fairness, HN and SO are fairly straight forward CRUD apps (esp HN) with a limited amount of 3rd party integrations.

In theory, society should be robust to differing beliefs: allow people to segregate into communities with shared beliefs and self-govern. Use higher levels of government sparingly to resolve conflicts and where coordination is necessary and general consensus exists that the thing you are coordinating is desired.

In practice, people have trouble not butting into each other's lives. If we're going to try to force a shared belief on everyone, it should be to fix that.

We are doing this trip right now.

Hard code -> configurable/scriptable/DSL -> Hard code.

The nuance I have discovered is you can do the "hard code" in a wide variety of ways, some much more amenable to non-developers than others.

Our latest stack goes back to hardcoding because someone can edit the source directly in GitHub and have an updated app deployed automatically for evaluation within 2-3 minutes. Another simple compare/merge operation in the web UI to move between environments. No visual studio, no git CLI, nothing. Simply make desired edits in browser, click the green button & check the URL again when the bell dings.

Devops wasnt quite this way in 2012. GitHub+Azure have replaced an entire section of my org chart in 2023. The key for us this time around the dial is to separate "nerd" code from "business" code. Not going to be perfect ever but we can get it very close with intent and all of the experience we built up so far.

The configurable/scriptable/DSL stuff definitely does work, but once you get to a certain magic # of configuration points, hard code begins to emerge as superior again. Configurable wins in the middle of complexity. Hard code wins at the extremes.

I was (non-religiously) home schooled and very much benefited from it. I was able to spend a lot more time reading books than I would have in school. I was able to learn about computers, programming, etc. I did get some socialization through other kids in my neighborhood and events with other home school families. I started in back in school around high school and, although it was a bit of a transition, I enjoyed it (and don't regret homeschooling either).

It probably wouldn't work well for every kid and every family. Personally, I found the structure of elementary school very constraining and was glad to get out. I'm sure there are pros and cons to both approaches.

I think relative to my peers I'm generally able to be a bit more self motivated. And I think schools generally teach you to solve problems using only the information on the page in front of you, whereas the real world is much messier than that.
HN blogs: daily list of original content posted to HN that didn't get visibility
I generally disagree with arbitrary hardware comparisons, like "why buy apple when I could build some gaming rig for $5" for obvious reasons that have been beat to death in every comment section ever, but you're very right about the hardware upgrades specifically.

I want a new mac, but I feel like an idiot paying those prices for both ram and ssd upgrades, moreso than ever before. In CAD, at one point, ram upgrades were already too much at $200 or something, but I'd reluctantly suck it up and be happy with the decision anyway. Now they're literally $500 for each 16gb increment, and $500 for each TB increment. I'm not about to replace my existing mac with some Windows hunk of garbage, but I'll have to wait until I'm either rich or I can directly translate those upgrades into predictable dollar amount returns on the investments. It's bizarre that I price out a laptop that's $5k before tax that doesn't have more than a 512gb SSD, has only half the possible RAM, and doesn't even have the largest screen.

On the other hand, the mid-tier option is probably still great, but costs about $3500 and also still only has a 512gb ssd
OK, outline how we get to that situation?

Interesting term "hand pie". Is that like a pastie[1]?

Real Estate in the US is like a bunch of little MLS fiefdoms still angry you have access to the internet.

Eventually the Real Estate market will adopt like the music industry and others had to. Welcome to the 21st century.

Brokers and agents are mostly sales people that drive around showing places. Its the lawyers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, loan originators, and title companies that do the real and/or legal work.

Why are you frequently switching away from the timer after setting it but before starting it?

If I understand correctly, you change the timer, but don't hit start, then switch away and back and you see it reset to the last successful (mine reverts to 19:00) timer value?

But, to answer your question: no, there's not a way to get the old behavior back within the app.

This was willfully done this way, probably due to another customer's Feedback submission. Observe that the process is the same when you activate Control Center and press and hold on the timer icon to change the time.
That is exactly what I'm accusing you of. The burden of proof is on you, so by all mean extrapolate all the way to our extinction.
To me, this argument makes no sense at all.

Opening restaurants with food from your culture is pretty much the standard way of doing it and certainly not looked down upon.

All of this sounds racist to me. People are now forbidden to do things if they have the wrong skin color.
my beef with the commissioned agents is that paying them a commission does not actually influence them to work on your behalf; they still work on their own behalf. For example, keeping your house for sale on the market longer (by rejecting offers) tends to eventually bring a higher price. A study or two has shown that real estate agents keep their own houses on the market for longer than average.

But longer on the market is more work for the agent, while the small percentage increase in a higher price doesn't enhance their commission by nearly as much as it does the homeowner's, especially considering there is frequently a substantial mortgage on the house (meaning, the homeowner gets to collect the "bank's share" of any additional sale price)

but what will your realtor recommend? "list it at a low price to generate interest and start a bidding war", pretty much the opposite of what you should do.

In the grand scheme of things, a commission for making a large, complex selling process go smoothly is not a ridiculous notion, but when your agent is participating in plucking your feathers it's pretty annoying.
When I ask for the no contact option, normally the drivers will ring the bell after they left the food at my door. I know the food arrived and I don't have to meet the driver. I have the impression that that's her expectation.

The article's failure to mention the shuttering of many of these schools for well over a full academic year seems intentionally negligent. My local school district, Seattle, didn't have full in-person instruction until the Fall of 2021. We've now got decent data on how disastrous remote learning was for kids, so parents choosing to take matters into their own hands seems like an entirely rational response. I don't have kids but if I did would have absolutely looked into alternate options to zoom lectures for kindergarteners.

> In fact, high-scoring districts had some of the biggest spikes in home schooling early in the pandemic, though by the fall of 2022 increases were similar regardless of school performance

Parents with resources are opting out of a system that was not providing for their kids. This isn't surprising.
Homeschooling requires some degree of investment in the child, even just to keep them occupied or tolerate their presence. School provides free childcare for long periods of time. I don't think the majority of abusive parents will ever homeschool their children, because most are not believers in teaching an abusive ideology but rather have simple personality disorders. "Homeschool makes it easier to hide abuse" presupposes that abusive parents are planning or organizing abuse which is plainly not true in the majority of cases.

Like the Satanism panics of the 1990s demonstrate, elaborate imaginings of complex sadistic rituals that are necessarily rare[0] bordering on nonexistent, tend to capture the public mind and suck oxygen away from treating the totally unattractive (not even in the capacity of making for a true crime special) real problems.

If you want to see this on TV, the last season of The Wire was about it.

[0] There were actually a spate of ritual killings in Liberia through the 1970s, proving humanity capable at least and making the issue to be one of reasonableness.
