Doubt. If someone can't even read, or even have a solid concept of abstraction with numbers, I doubt you can came up to even the lowest bar of college. There is an unspoken filter to even get the chance to take that one year catch up.

In a year you can teach kids who are a little behind enough to get them up to the min high school will teach them, but certainly not the most that high school will teach them if they want it.

Of course this overlooks what the minimum bar for a college is. At my college the lowest math they offered that wasn't considered remedial was calculus. That's a far cry from many community colleges where the lowest is alegebra. You definitely should have learned alegebra in high school and not knowing it definitely extends your timeline on certain disciplines.
This isn’t at all surprising. We’ve basically abandoned the societal shared vision of prosperity and building for future generations.

There are no more heroes, no more examples that drive our aspirations. We’re a mess of silos, struggles, and reactionary movements.

I admire those of us that are trying to hold the middle for sanity and stability but things don’t seem like they’re moderating any time soon.
Costco does not accept American Express, which is annoying since it prevents use of the Blue Cash Preferred card.
The trigger that helps me is Anki on my phone will put little notification badges on itself if I have cards to review, and I hate to see unresolved notifications, so it forces me to study.

Why not already publish the current state while testing? If the readme says it's currently in testing then it's still more inviting to look into than an empty repo
Really love this idea and execution. Truly fantastic!
>That's a bold claim. Can you back it up?

It's more of a spiritual gesture than some hard law. They aren't called "standardized tests" because they test for the exceptional.

I'm sure we can put the relevant education board in a room and have them argue over what should/shouldn't be on such tests, but the current result is a compromise after years of deliberation, being tweaked a little each year.

I'll be a bit more specific and say "high school testing is designed to provide a floor of knowledge a government feels its citizens should achieve" if that helps.
This is awesome!

Also, a heads-up to OP: the personal website linked from your GitHub account appears to be down.
the big difference is that Apple has shown over decades that it can/will a very tight focus on a small number of core products, with everything else being in support of that (which Financing would be). It's not like GE making both fridges and nuclear power plants.

Apple doesn't need to issue a denial for every conspiracy theory that rolls around. The fact that people are still bringing up a mere rumor as if it's true definitely lends credence to this being nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
You can't live without salt. Too much of it will kill you quickly. Why is it so hard to understand that both such statements can be true?

The problem is this is completely untrue. One party had been talking about coal-mining industry ending and promoting job retraining for over a decade if not longer. Federal funds were administered to pre-empt this exact problem that was foreseen. That same party had frequently about the need for social programs to support this transition so people can still be productive. The problem is, this party never wins in Appalachia - all of their policies are ignored. Nobody takes the job training. Everyone locally votes against it and opposes those social support systems.

The problem isn't costal elites ignoring the issue, it's that no matter what one party does to help resolve the problem the other party says don't trust them do it on your own. Which isn't possible when entire industries aren't viable any more.

It's pretty similar to people desperately needing health care in the same regions and yet refusing to get it because it's been slandered by the party they vote for.

Fundamentally the issue is that one party has not supported policies to help this region for ages, but still gets voted for due to a few key touch button issues.

Sony seems to be doing okay, and their Sony Financial Holdings offers online banking services through Sony Bank, life insurance through Sony Life, and insurance through Sony Assurance (albeit only in Japan).
Interesting idea to use an inductive sensor. I personally would have suggested a hall sensor (though that would involve fixing a tiny magnet to the pendulum) as the cheapest solution. But of course there are many ways to solve the same problem. Neat project, thanks for sharing!
FWIW the one on the website is much cleaner, self-consistent and overall more pleasant to look at it. The one in the app (at least the iOS one) is a clear step down. Just 2c.
why this rational endeavour I undertook is somehow wrong.

The fact that something is bad for a nerd messageboard is not some absolute judgement on its wrongness or rightness. 'This or that religion is better or worse than some other religion' is not a discussion that works on HN and, as you know, is not allowed here. There's no 'rational' or 'good faith' variant you can come up that would work so just don't do it on this forum.
The elephant in the room is that–at least in my experience–a lot of these attacks come from hostile nation states. This is going to be controversial, but one may find it useful to block entire IP ranges of problematic states that you cannot do business with. I was able to block 100% of probes to one of my new services by doing this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. This confirms my bias in the deep value of anki.
There is a cap on how many cards will get reviewed from a deck each day. Lower it if the default cap is too high.

If you're finding that you reliably do not recall some card Anki will eventually mark it as a leech. Those cards get suspended automatically after some number of lapses. That will reduce your workload because suspended cards are't part of your workload.

My ex once pulled out his AMEX Gold card at dinner and regaled me on every perk and detail of the program. After that he spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to verify his identity, since they shuttered his account for suspicious long-distance activity.

He did get it sorted out, but the Benihana's folks were running out of patience.

Big problem for me with LitRPG I have read, mostly Korean and Chinese is that the system they have wouldn't actually work in games... Game mechanics are there, but they really aren't believable as games would be. In sense that these games would never have the popularity among the average players. Maybe worst tropes is one of the kind hero classes... With massive investment in them. What if one of those players simply quits or gets in accident? All the effort gone?
We live in a world where code in the Linux kernel will rot until removal if it was commited by someone who later become a criminal and where research will simply not get done if the one that would do it don't have the right political opinion. "Remarkable" is not the word I'd use. "Banal" seems more true.
I keep my notebooks around. But I get your point about the paper making industry. I think it’s mostly water waste than by-products pollution, though, since most sources nowadays employ reforestation. Those industries evolved a lot. Unbleached paper (what I use) has less of an impact. I actually meant pollution to signify “mess”, but English in not my native language.
because it provides no benefit to Apple while carrying significant risk:

- if users are happy with the alt store and it becomes highly successful, Apple loses revenue it would otherwise get from its own store

- if users are unhappy with the alt store because viruses, etc., get onto their phones, or it becomes a spam-ware cesspool, Apple gets the blame (the vast majority of users will not differentiate and then Apple has to spent tons of effort to "don't buy from stores X, Y and Z"--much easier to just disallow them)

Remember, most Apple users care about an optimum experience. If they care a lot about openness they would be using Android / Linux and are not Apple's target.

The point of a strike is often to make a big statement, say “fire me if you dare,” and show that your unit has cohesion and resources. You want something dramatic and noticeable. For example, if you want to kick contract negotiation out of stagnation, you want to do something that the business can’t ignore for a couple months.

Work-to-rule doesn’t really accomplish that.

I've noticed that sticking exclusively to words I already know results in boredom, leading me to skip several days. This typically ends with me needing to catch up in a lengthy session (40 minutes to an hour), which seems less effective for memory retention.

Now, I make it a point to introduce new words at least weekly, which maintains my interest and reduces boredom. The challenge of new words, balanced with the familiarity of known ones, creates an engaging experience, much like a well-designed game with a mix of easy and challenging elements. This approach keeps me motivated.

Additionally, actively using the language by conversing with native speakers greatly enhances my motivation. The positive feedback and tangible understanding of its value significantly boost my commitment to learning.
I'm just saying that there isn't a safety net that provides a better alternative, such a high-school dropout without a supporting family becoming homeless does even less for their core traumas than being told what to do in the army; whatever the drawbacks are, for many this is legitimately the least worst option that's available to them.

I just said I don’t care about your excuses. The world has always been fucked up and had problems and bad people in it. Things like being able to light a Christmas tree as a community are things we do to unite and not have to worry about how shitty the place is for 10 minutes.
As someone who has a had some false starts with SRS, this seems like an interesting approach. Do you add all these disparate topics into one huge deck? What does adding a new topic domain look like?

I think a bit of the problem (for me) when I tried anki before was friction from the overhead of 1.) deciding how to split time among decks and 2.) having to assign a 1-5 value for 'how well I remembered the info'. That second point is huge, I find that kind of task to be incredibly exhausting. Do you have any tips for getting over that?
You can use Anki to learn subjects more deeply - it's just harder.

It gets easier the more you do it. As you become more comfortable with the software as well as develop an intuition for what makes a good card, the effort shrinks dramatically. Not just because I'm faster at creating cards, I also create fewer cards overall.
No, they're not the same concept, they're both ways to express error conditions but they way they function are very different. People very intentionally do not use exceptions because of how they function and the potential impact on performance compared to other ways of error handling. As well as having other negatives, which other people below have listed when you made a similar comment.

I did quite a bit of research and went with Withings (even though I have the full Apple ecosystem - iPhone, iPad, Mac, HomePod, etc.), mostly because I wanted something that had long battery life (no daily recharging), looked like a real watch, and had reliable cardiac (ECG) tracking.

I think you expect too much. The end result is that she assets rights she already had yesterday, rights she had years ago before DALL-E or Stable Diffusion even existed… there’s nothing new here… just existing power structures that give the rich and famous some measure of control over their likeness due to it being part of their personal brands and thus their l business interests… while the non rich and famous have no right to privacy in public and short the limited protections that have been implemented in some circumstances against revenge porn, no right to protect their likeness being misused… from people taking pictures in public, to AI generated images… they do not have protections against this kind of thing as no act has been perpetuated against them unless it crosses a tiny minority of laws against things like commercial imagery rights which is why models have to sign a release… but that won’t protect from generated imagery given away for free.
I'm not talking about the novels. I'm talking about the dungeons and dragons setting which is part of the game.

Forgotten realms is just one "region" in the setting. It is one universe in a multiverse of regions. This multiverse is called Planescape. All d&d games that I know about utilize that setting. In Planescape any arch way or opening can be a potential portal to another realm. You just need the right key. The key could be an object, a leaf, or a childhood memory or a song that can take you to another world when you walk through the archway of which there are an infinite amount. The forgotten realms is one of these places. But I'm repeating myself. You played torment so you know this as it takes place in the city of sigil the city that lies at the nexus of the multiverse.

I mean there are books dedicated to just describing the d&d setting and if they gave out awards for settings, these books would win. The novels aren't part of this. That's what I'm saying.

This scenario is not a zombie apocalypse where the hordes are literally at your doorsteps and it's individuals protecting themselves from other nearby individuals.

The climate change may easily cause large scale international conflict or fights over resources at national level, but the distance between places without capacity to handle the weather and the better-off areas generally are thousands of miles and an ocean, and the parties to any conflict would be neighboring communities of many millions of people each - I mean, this discussion is about "what will happen to the population of current Bangladesh, and what effect that will have on neighboring countries" not about what will happen for few rich people in USA against their literal neighbors from the same state and county.

I fully expect that the wealthy countries can handle some internal displacement due to e.g. sea level rise without mass violence and a general breakdown of internal order - people having to abandon coastal properties in Florida would cause economic woes and internal political pressure to Do Something (not necessarily constructive), not cause the displaced Florida men to form large uncontested gangs roaming the Midwest looking for bunkers to loot.
