I struggle with this question. The editor plays a valuable role and it's not hard to swallow the argument that editors make science better, they're the front line filter. Employing them full time is a core value that the current system provides. I'm wary (but not close minded) to the idea that volunteer orgs could scale to the top echelons of scientific publication, which require a lot of filtering. Perhaps if we look to the conference paper model where funding primarily comes from the conference? The conference brings benefits beyond publishing. In that model publishing equates to financial discount or free entrance to the conference, so it flips the equation.
Came here for that. People in this thread basically reinventing GraphQL lol.

"We need a http API endpoint that gives you all the data for one page. And also be able to reuse parts of it for other pages." Yeah bro, this is GraphQL.
My i7-6700k was going strong until the motherboard died for the second time. I suspect a solder crack caused by issue vibration from a damaged fan (and my only evidence for that is the fact the fan is damaged and vibrates and that two different motherboards died). Might try reflowing it to revive it, eventually.

After reviewing my options I would have either bought a third motherboard or upgraded to something like a Threadripper (I did the latter). Upgrading to a current desktop Intel system just didn't seem really worth it when I already had most of a working one and it was still fast enough.

You actually have FEWER expansion slots on the newer desktop motherboards because they've pre-decided what you want: a desktop has a 16x GPU slot and a 4x NVMe slot, and that's it. Gone are the days of generic uncommitted expansion slots, mostly.
> what teachers have to deal with on a day in and day out basis

Yes, this is bad

> plus having to forego vacations during the school year

? Teachers don't typically work during christmas, spring break, etc, do they? Plus they get the entire summer off? Whatever the arguments around sufficient salary, worker protection etc, I can hardly see vacation time being a factor. I'd absolutely kill to have summers off.
Everyone I know who loves it also has a scholarly level of knowledge about fiction so I suspect it has a lot of requisites to fully enjoy, like having to know a lot about american media to enjoy arrested development.
I've been wanting to give it another go since I didn't enjoy or finish it last time, and my favorite book of all time (Wolfes Book of the New Sun) took three false starts to really get into it.
If the goal is to determine how well-paid teachers are, the analysis should be standardized against typical wages for all workers in each area.
Your anecdotal data about who complains more seems like a meaningless distinction. You don’t think hotel maids and strawberry pickers and retail workers and food prep workers complain about being underpaid?

The only relevant question is are the people who are teachers now of sufficient inherent quality and of sufficient motivation? If not, then there is likely a problem with the prices (since it seems evident across many, many jurisdictions and management levels).

Also does not help that violent and disruptive students are somehow not automatically kicked out of school.
Maybe these exercises help some people but myopia is largely hereditary. It's worth trying though, it's free.
I was looking at their workstation the other day and they have this totally absurd “AI” branding that makes no sense whatsoever.

They are selling machines with GPUs with 4GB VRAM as “AI-Ready”.

If they don’t know system requirements for running basically any LLM or image model, it’s no wonder they are failing.

This is probably true for nearly all employees who have held their same job during that time, since raises rarely exceed inflation, especially recently.
Sure, you’d want to use students’ incoming skills and trajectory to make sure you’re not penalizing teachers who have lots of low-performing kids.
There are better alternatives. Not evil, just wasteful.
Mainly security related guarantees, plus it can run effectively anywhere with the same guarantees in all those environments
> Well, these numbers certainly don't seem like teachers are being drastically underpaid like I commonly hear.

I think you've expressing an underlying bias here that "average" is a fine pay for teachers.

You should at the very least be comparing to the median salary of professions with similar educational requirements.
Are aftermarket services (parts, service) available or are those throwaway cars? It might be looking good now, but in few years it could be a nightmare to keep the car running.
from the conclusion:

"Overall, the results suggest that eye exercises have limited to no efficacy in preventing or controlling myopia progression. Until robust evidence supports their efficacy, available evidence suggests retiring the eye-exercise policy."
> What is the financial benefit to Intel in artificially limiting its CPU sockets like this?

They (Intel) also make the chipsets that go on the motherboards. So anyone who disposes of their old motherboard and buys a new motherboard because of this limitation results in:

1) new CPU sale to Intel
2) new chipset sale to Intel (indirect sale via the motherboard manufacturer)

Given that a "new CPU" sale plus a "new motherboard chipset" sale is more revenue to Intel than just a "new CPU" sale alone the financial benefit becomes obvious.
My current position was a cold application that pays over $200k USD. Sounds like the problem is on your end not being willing to sort through the chaff to find the wheat.
It's just an edge case you'd have to devote brainpower and resources to. It may not be a big commitment, but if it only nets you an additional 0.25% valid email addresses or something, it's probably not going to get done.
I'm perpetually flabbergasted by how anyone thinks this "no pasting" thing is a pro-accuracy idea. As though people would be copying from a bad source. I see this a lot on forms for bank account numbers -- maybe one of the least amenable formats to visually copying down and retyping, since they're never written with delimiters or punctuation. I store them in my password manager, and then some idiotic form wants me to type my 18-digit bank account number, twice, on my phone, where I can't see more than one application at a time.
Not everyone here is a Linux dev. I spend most of my time with Goodnotes and MacTeX.
From the second sentence of the article:

"will be made permanent for the 2025 tax season with all 50 states and Washington D.C. invited to participate"

It seems very much that this is an opt-in thing, state by state. I would suspect that the results of this will be most Democratic-leaning states at least trying to opt-in for next year, and many Republican-leaning states refusing loudly during this election year, then quietly starting to opt in in a few years.
How can Snowflake be upstream of Ticketmaster?

Ticketmaster surely uses Snowflakes services to store data making it downstream of Ticketmasters own services.
A lot of people are in the same boat there, not just teachers. Although as typical "graduate jobs", teaching will have less of a premium then it used to with the glut of graduates.
And the dollar store no longer sells things for 99c. It's a nice round number.

If you become a German civil servant the hours are lovely, the pension is super and the pressure negligible. You need something, you ask your boss, then wait and twiddle your thumbs and watch YouTube videos until it goes up the chain and at some point comes back down. It’s like an oil tanker.

I might have goofed the analogy. I was trying to illustrate that mature regulations and true liability mean that even McDonalds’ lowest level employees require standardized training. They know that a fridge must be ~40F. But the kid isn’t liable for leaving the fridge open. McDonald’s is. And because they’re liable, they have invested in sensors and alarms on every fridge

> And let's not forget they only work 180 days a year.

That's just for the academic year.

Then they work during the summer in preparation for the next school year, teaching summer school, attending their own continuing education courses or graduate courses, or working a second job to make enough money to make ends meet.

And most professionals do work more, but not hugely more. I'm in a middling org and get 50 days off a year between holidays, PTO, and sick leave (not always used, rolls over though). If I used all my sick leave I'd only work 210 days, just 30 more days than a teacher who manages to take the entire summer off. At a middling org.
> I haven't heard of Hudson Rock before, does anyone know if they are a reputable source?

I first learned of Hudson Rock after their "CEO" started spamming every security-related subreddit with low-effort blogspam over a period of months alleging numerous breaches. They've had several accounts banned, both by Reddit moderators and administrators.

Personally, I would no consider them a reputable or reliable source.
They have tenure, at least.
Everyone is focused on teacher salary, but the national average expenditure per student was $16,281. In New York it was $30,876. This seems insane.

A handful of student's expenditure covers a teacher's salary. Where does the expenditure for the other 25 kids in the class go?
> One source says that the Utah-based company's financials have improved, with a around 26% EBITDA growth in 2023, but not enough to service nearly $1.3 billion of debt that was issued when interest rates were lower.

Pluralsight hasn’t failed entirely as a company. It’s just that it can’t produce enough profits to pay down the huge debt Vista took to acquire it.

Many tech PE deals happened under low interest rates, but higher interest rates mean debt has become more expensive to service.

Pluralsight would be very successful if it took minimal VC funding and didn’t go the PE way.
All I see on the left is support for bad behavior.

Lower punishment for Crime (Crime went up)

Lower punishment for drugs (Drugs skyrocketed)

Lower the bar for immigration (I don't even need to say anything here)

Lower the standards for decent social fabric (Everyone is a they them it witch - this part scares me the most) We won't be able to relate to ANYONE.

Lets say we look at two class rooms. One turns over every year and one has a ~40 year veteran. The average salary at any given year is half new and half veteran. If we look at turnover over 10 years, the average is less than 5, no?
Source that all federal, state, county, and local employees employed by any government in the diverse country that is the US all magically get the same retirement structure?
It would be much more appropriate to implement the system at a local level to avoid the issues you describe. That way you’re not comparing teachers in wildly disparate environments.
Very clever.

Ticketmaster and McDonalds are both multi billion dollar corporations. How does capital factor into this?

The person you’re replying to was highlighting the difference in food safety policies versus data safety policies.
I've been encountering lately a surprising number of deliverability problems (as in, the emails never arrive) when I try to use "Hidden" icloud emails and Outlook.com aliases. Switching to gmail suddenly confirmations arrive. It's frustrating.

> Maybe being overly pedantic

Not just maybe.

I was talking from the perspective of the interaction between the stranded mariners and the police. I emphasised the "destination of their own choosing" because it appeared that the comment I was responding to had a misunderstanding. They thought the proposal is that the police kidnaps the mariners and sends them to wherever the police wants to. I was clarifying that it would happen in consultation with them, and the mariners would select the destination.

That does not mean that there would be no other constrains on them flying. Presumably they would choose their home country as their destination. Or some other country where they have a right to be.

But if you choose to be pedantic why did you only mention the "visa requirement" constrain? Why not list all the others. To just name a few: Their destination has to be a real place. They cannot fly to Narnia, or Middle Earth, or La-La Land. Their destination has to have a continuous atmosphere from their departure airport. Otherwise the airplane can't fly. So for example they cannot choose the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. It has to have an airport. So Monaco is out right away. It has to be existing on the day they depart. So they cannot fly to Pangea, nor to the USSR. Because they don't exist anymore. It also has to be a place where there are scheduled flights to. So they cannot choose McMurdo Station either. And yeah, visa requirements too.
I prefer the FP approach of separating data and logic. you could end up with a box of functions (logic) that can be reused by the different "entities".

Last time i checked the FP world is slowly producing ECS frameworks that are needed to make the game performant. They used to be nearly C++ (or OO) exclusive.

It is a pro and a con. The teachers I know have ~6 weeks off in the summer, and the other non school days, they have training and whatnot.

And those summer weeks are often the business travel days. I much prefer traveling on off peak days, and would hate being restricted to travel during the busiest times of everything.

As for other holidays, the teachers I know seem to work a lot of hours at home, so not necessarily a “holiday”. And the same problem exists, only being able to do things at busy times. Which isn’t bad, but it would suck if that was the case for 40 straight years.
That’s not how it works.

Engineers are not really commodities. The right engineer can really push your business forward and become a powerful asset. The wrong one can set you back years while your competitors surpass you. As long as there’s companies out there who want the best, the best will command higher salaries.

If you manage to hire a great engineer for a cheap price, inevitably they will have no loyalty and leave your company for a higher offer. Thus losing you money in the long term and harming your business. A remote worker can do this easily.

If you want cheap, the unethical thing to do is hire local talent that doesn’t enjoy remote work and can’t move easily. You entrap them into the job and pay them less.
I have done[1] my own taxes most years over the last 4 decades, but only in the last few years has the Federal IRS fixed my errors for me and sent me more money[2] than I expected. Pretty cool.

I moved house from AZ to GA in 2022 and both State revenue departments refunded me more than what I expected from filling out the partial year forms. GA was almost double[3]. The move included a corporate 6 figure relocation package, with all the fraught income tax issues with that. A lot of anxiety... just dissipated.

[1] I download the pdf forms and instructions and just fill them out, and if I have to I print 'em out and mail 'em in.

[2] I try hard to keep refunds to a minimum, certainly less than $1K.

[3] My partner and I puzzled over the GA instructions for quite some time, which are impressively ambiguous. I could make an argument for 3 different scenarios given the instructions, and we decided to go conservative and use the middle strategy. However the refunded amount did not match any of the scenarios I myself calculated!
Normally PE funds are know for not writing things down due to a few reasons:

- they are private so whose to say what its worth

- rolling funds where as one fund closes the new fund that is raising can take in those positions so no need to mark down or try and sell those positions at firesale prices.

This is a bit different as this is a "dropdown". Here the company is moving some IP into a new company and using that to get new financing, hence Pluralsight being written down to zero. Existing lenders get less security so this is often used to bring in new lenders money to pay off old lenders and get in new ones at better rates.

Vista probably made money here by having their old debt bought out so they may not be to unhappy about this and this isn't a position going to zero as is being reported.
Still, the question is how does this compare to other fields.. not the same field a few years previously.
I dare say we've collectively done that math/valuation very poorly. That's not a judgement. It's actively weaponized against us.

So you say a small number of key issues aren't a good indicator, right? I agree. Stop. Wargames comes to mind - don't play.

Vote, but not on things you think are important. Things that actually are important. Achievements, not tales.

Someone who has a career of making decisions that benefit the public will get my vote.

Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies. I don't want the convincing story rep, I want the one shaping our society for the better - even if it costs me.

We're somewhat poorly served by 'the system', as a peer mentions too. There's only so much we can do.

As an end-user of Standard Ebooks, I've found it works pretty well on average.
Not if they’re measured against the other teachers at that school! We see too much of what you describe in our public school, which takes credit for all the student achievement, even though they effectively ignore 30% of students for all academic purposes.
Anyone know if this covers foreign earned income etc? I.e. can I, who hasn't lived in the US for many years, make use of the service?

If someone has a defined benefit, they still pay into it. That's not to say defined benefit programs aren't a great deal for the employee -- they are, and most of us would love to have one. It's just to point out that you can't factor in pension payouts as 'free money' because it's more akin to an outsized market return or something.

Basically, you'd need to figure out the excess ROI based on what they get out vs what they put in, relative to the market (or something).

I even struggle with some single player games like Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. If I hook up a cheap but fast monitor or put on Game Mode it is a night and day difference for me.
