> Not everyone can drive

Not everyone can afford to live in an area of the city where they don't have to drive places, either.
This sort of work usually costs 3x what is should, because the firm doing the work has to pay state minimum wage and/or hire union labor.

| Private schools are outrageously expensive.

Yes, and... In states where property taxes fund schools, there are basically two ways to pay for a good school: a) go to a private school, b) live in a school zone with high real estate values. At various points my wife and I calculated that 8 years at ~25k/yr tuition would work out to about the same as the ~200k house price delta we'd have to pay to move to a better school zone.

And I suppose option #3 is rationing, which is how some schools do it (our daughter is in a gifted academy where admission is limited via lottery.)
I posted once with a seconds account on who is hiring, the amount of spam and fishing attempts received is crazy, 10-50 DocuSign and the like a day since then.
Not feasible at all.

If AI is going to succeed to that degree (I have doubts), then it only has to succeed in that degree anywhere. Are you going to successfully organize such a strike in India? China? North Korea?

No, you aren't. New technology is here. Those who refuse to use it are going to get run over by those who use it well (if it's all that useful).
The USA is going backwards in many, many areas and is no longer in the top of any important indices so this fits the bill.
I think it merely made parents aware of what was already happening.

My nephew texted my brother during his lunch break to ask for more credits for his switch account. My brother asked why play games instead of talking or hanging out with others. My nephew sent back a video of the lunch room: every single student had their eyes glued to a digital device of some sort.

The experience kids have in schools isn't what we as adults went through - a common thing for every generation - but when you can get more interaction and socialization via home school networks and groups of motivated parents, it is hard to argue against it.
How did he get the exposure to work out. I thought pictures of stars and the Earth would never work out like this. Pretty amazing photo. Would be something to see.
Clearly both are a factor but you don't need both. Even if I go 20mph I have to slam on the breaks hard if the light turns when I'm just three ft away. The only way around this is to treat every light like a stop sign where you do a California roll

Edit: As a related pet peeve I've never understood why we don't have countdowns for car traffic lights like we do for pedestrians. These IMO would not only increase safety but also fuel savings (especially if we had them for each signal change) as I could time my arrival at the traffic light to minimize braking and acceleration.
> ... the situational awareness of every driver who's about to get their turn is mostly absorbed in monitoring who's turn it is and who's going where.

Right, that's the intent. Drivers paying attention to their surroundings is the goal.

> So if you're a pedestrian and you don't time it right you could find yourself starting to cross right before someone wants to drive where you're crossing. Usually this is because you started walking before it was their turn...

You have the right of way!

> There's just so much less potential for conflict if there is a scheduled time when all the cars stop and then the walking happens.

How about a system where all cars are expected to stop all the time?
I had numerous teachers that won local and regional teacher of the year awards that were, too put it bluntly, terrible at teaching. The actual pedagogical education that teachers receive is not good, and when you look at the rigor in their degree programs it would be found extremely wanting compared to just about any hard science degree program. There are numerous examples of pedagogical research being neglected to be included in programs for dogmatic reasons, and the usage of such methods like whole word reading over phonics would indicate large scale failure.

Anecdotally, if I were to stack rank my education in k-12 based on quality of teacher, it would essentially be all professors followed by k-12 teachers, with those receiving more teacher instruction being lower on the list. I was once instructed by a history teacher, to not use examples on a history essay that we didn't learn in class, because she had to look them up.

I find it incredibly easy to believe that I can teach my children better than the average teacher.
No country embraces free speech in the purest sense of the phrase. All societies regulate speech. The question is where the lines are drawn. Europe does not fear “free speech”. It fears enabling things like the next Putin, Hitler, and Stalin. Probably it too now fears becoming like the U.S. The U.S. conception of what free speech means is not the ideal in my opinion and we Americans ought not act as if there are no other legitimate ways of defining free speech.
Personally I can't stand to run a D&D game as players take it all too seriously.

I will run Toon, Call of Cthulhu or Paranoia any day, the latter without a scenario as I can kill off their all their clones in my very dangerous Alpha Complex and have them rolling on the floor laughing the whole time with a help of a stack of prerolled character sheets and some random encounter tables. (I'd expect an LLM to be able to do the same)

Contrast that to the famous Bloodstone campaign which is the pinnacle of D&D scenarios but can't really be challenging to the players because players have to win over and over again if you're going to use most of the material.
Hundred percent. They vastly underestimate teaching in the same way that people resorting to homeopaths for serious illnesses underestimates the training and knowledge doctors go through.
Why is right-on-red always cited as the biggest problem with turns? My anecdotal experience is that drivers turning on green are way more likely to hit me when I have a walk signal on the cross-street than drivers who turn right on red.
So firstly I think for understanding YouTube it's much longer but it's better to just read Mr Beasts onboarding guide (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YaG9xpu-WQKBPUi8yQ4HaDYQLUS...). It gives a more complete picture straight from the horses mouth (and I always prefer primary documents if I can).

That being said I think the author here is taking some things for granted. An example of this to me is "As I wrote in the book, “If creators are speaking their authentic truths, how can they also be accountable to audience feedback? I am personally bemused to see 'authenticity' invoked as a criterion for what is ultimately and obviously a performance". So firstly I don't view authenticity as some binary thing that is mutually exclusive with taking feedback and context. Just because I act differently with my boss, my parents, and my friends based on feedback from them I'm not being inherently inauthentic. To me authenticity and external pressures are at odds but from the few videos and interviews I've seen of Jimmy he seems to genuinely enjoy creating the spectacles he does so beneath all the artifice in the videos I think you're still seeing the core of Jimmy making content that he wants to make. Anyway, I think if you stop looking at stuff like authenticity as less rigid rules for how to act and more as a spectrum or very broad category what the creators say makes more sense (because it's not just Mr Beast saying similar things).
We don't think we have the competence to be a teacher. We would never presume to teach someone else's kids.

We think we have a relationship with our own child that allows us to understand what they need and how to communicate with them in a way that works for them. We think we have the time (assuming one parent is full time parenting) to give our child the attention they need to excel. And we believe that a combination of relationship and individual attention goes further in K–12 than any amount of formal training in education.
Upvoting this since presumably you're actually the CTO at Snyk and people should see your official response, but wow this feels wildly irresponsible. You could have proved the PoC without actually stealing innocent developer credentials. Furthermore, additional caution should have been taken given the conflict of interest with the competitor product to Cursor. Terrible decision making and terrible response.
Yes. I do not understand why this is so misunderstood in the comments.

This picture is LEGAL in most US states as long as the car entered the intersection ON A GREEN OR YELLOW light.

> What is the topic at hand? The author's true beliefs?

The topic at hand is woke ideology, sometimes known as "identity politics" -- the worldview preached by people like Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, as well as many university professors. This ideology is very distinct from the Civil Rights Movement and other ways of attacking racism and other forms of oppression, because its foundational propositions are incompatible with them, namely: (1) Everyone, whether they know it or not, is either an oppressor or oppressed. This is the most correct way of viewing society. (2) Race is the characteristic that most tends to separate people along this axis (although any aspect of identify politics also goes here -- even israel/palestine. There are people being arrested in the UK for saying or posting things that are even slightly against palestine, like "Why do we have Palestinian flags in our town square instead of a UK flag? -- which leads to a loud knock at 5am the next morning and an arrest. Just 1 example."). (3) Black people are the oppressed, and white people are the oppressors (but also add any other groups identified under identity politics).

This ideology inherits so much from Marxism - where (1) is identical, but (2) is proletariat vs bourgeoisie and (3) is capital ownership. It also tends to lead to categorically similar outcomes. In particular, it seems to tap into what I've heard described as "ancient tribal circuits in people's brains", by identifying "them" as the enemy, whoever "they" are (in anti-racist woke ideology, it's white people). Young people inculcated with these types of ideologies are literally becoming ready for tribal warfare, whether that's an intentional outcome or not.

> If you really got so worked up that you'd write this many words about the performative nature of DEI/wokeness etc, then why would you so overwhelmingly focus on the things about this that impact you rather than the groups these kinds of policies actually impact?

Because woke ideology actively inhibits healing, brotherly love, and government policy that helps people who are actually oppressed. It sets people up against each other. "Kill all of those people" is a gross overreaction. The French Revolution happened because of real, very big problems, but mass guillotining was a big overreaction that caused far more problems than it solved. If woke ideology continues unabated, we're headed for a similar outcome. MLK spoke against "the tranquilizing drug of gradualism" and I agree -- but that doesn't mean overreactions don't exist as a category. MLK and Malcolm X also spoke out against initiating violence.

I'll stop there, since I'm sure you already disagree enough with everything I said. But I hope that at least helps clarify the "anti-anti-racist" position a little. It is not pro-racist at all. Instead it's saying "marxism will make this a lot worse, so let's not go that direction."
Right on red is (or should be) never allowed during a pedestrian scramble. That's just asking for trouble. The box must be entirely clear of cars during the walk signal.
Sure did.
In the old days a user was forced to block hostile actors, whilst now evverone urges some admin to block the hostile actor. Platforms are gardens, before they were open spaces, with lots of spam.

Censorship and deplatforming demands are now all over, esp. by the traditional press, and the left. Esp. worrying are the continuous demands in the press to censor hatespeech or lies. Young Gen-Z folks are crying loud when I call them weak. Next they call HR.
Stalin rears his ugly head again.

And academic freedom is gone. They even let in police now.
> Training wheels aim to maximise the utility of the bicycle (i.e. gears and pnumatic tyres) for a person of certain age, at the cost of learning how to actually ride a bike.

I'm not sure this is actually true at all. Kids can go pretty fast on a balance bike. Probably as fast as on a bike with training wheels. And for kids that small, gears are mostly useless anyway.
Love this guy and I’m thankful for his service.
With roundabouts drivers only look to the left and don't come to a complete stop. If you're on foot trying to cross from the other direction good luck.
> I think it's more about the challenge/curiosity of creating the implementation.

Totally this, at least for me, in some circumstances.

TOU's be damned, I've written bots for some online games I've played, not because I want the XP or money or whatever that the bot could do without me working for it, but rather because I found writing the bots fun and engaging.

Before anyone gets in an uproar, I didn't sell them, nor any of the in-game resources gained from them. I was watching them basically all the time, because that's what I was there for - to see my creation work. And I purposely didn't interfere with other "real" players.
I'm only an occasional YT user, but I don't have any of those issues and use uBlock+Firefox and NextDNS.
Heh, I was just starting to look at SDF and SQL Mesh to see if they actually addressed any of the dbt pain points.
I don't think the law is so specific, but I suspect the right interpretation would be that you should pass through the intersection if the car is in a position where it would block other traffic the moment the light turns red; in any other circumstance, you should stop if the light is red, even if you passed the location where you'd normally wait.

For example, say you're entering the intersection on green/yellow, but the car in front suddenly stops while you're on the crosswalk, possibly not even seeing the light on the side of the road, but no part of your car is impeding the cross traffic. Well, even if the car in front now clears the intersection, if the light has turned red, you should almost certainly stop and wait for the next green light, rather than trying to clear the crosswalk: doing anything else is much more dangerous.
Has nothing to do with politics.
Same as everywhere else: to signal your intent to change lanes or exit the roundabout.

Saving seconds for cars is important. It adds up across all the intersections they cross, and makes travel time shorter. These safetyism arguments are tired because they never honestly consider the tradeoffs, particularly that cars have lots of benefits.
Potato potáto, that’s not what matters. The whole point of the post was to engage in good faith and see past the exact wording to focus on the argument. Obsessing about the definition is counter productive and an exercise in bad faith and derailing the conversation. That is a waste.
> designed with cars in mind, not human beings

This is a bad faith framing. The cars are driven by humans. Or in the case of autonomous driving, are driving humans around.

I've come up to plenty of lights that had the pedestrian signal lit even though there were no pedestrians. This happens during the day and at night, and is frustrating. Just happened the other day when I was driving around midnight. Not a pedestrian in sight!
>Just because you are educated doesn't mean you are a good (pedagogical) educator.

100%. But this also applies to people with degrees in education, teaching certs, and employment at your local school.

How do parents judge the ability of local teachers to be a good (pedagogical) teacher? If they discover a bad teacher, what is their recourse?
This is a classic, but it's been a while since I last saw this! Thanks for sharing.
Educators are trained to teach any kid effectively. Parents have the much easier problem of teaching a handful of specific kids, who they've spent their entire lives with and share half their DNA.
What do you mean? They have open roles so they must be growing? Seems like a good investment.
She isn’t demanding anything as far as the article indicates. The health insurer demanded to talk to her. How do you know that the health insurer would be operating at a loss? Quite clearly it isn’t as United Health is quite profitable.

It’s the insurer that was unreasonable in this case. No one buys into your view.
Him and also Marshal McLuhan. McLuhan realized all the way back in the 60s that computer technology (like all technology) in some sense wants things and manipulates the user to get it. The 'electric' technologies have their own logic and are not neutral on questions of humanity, politics, nature, etc.

It's pure economics. One large facility is cheaper in fixed cost terms than four smaller facilities. It's also cheaper in variable costs of staffing and other economies of scale like consumables. Lastly, the size of the large school means the cost of special features like a wood shop, kitchen, large theatre, art facilities, etc., are relatively smaller and thus more easily included in the whole package.

You're right that something is definitely lost. It's an externality that's forced on you and your children. There are compensations, but it's not an unambiguous win.
I lived in California for 26 years. If this is true, nobody listens.
It is the same in most US states.
In some circumstances it can.

Every ZFS block pointer has room for 3 disk addresses; by default, the extras are used only for redundant metadata, but they can also be used for user data.

When you turn on ditto blocks for data (zfs set copies=2 rpool/foo), zfs can fix corruption even on single-drive systems at the cost of using double or triple the space. Note that (like compression), this only affects blocks written after the setting is in place, but (if you can pause writes to the filesystem) you can use zfs send|zfs recv to rewrite all blocks to ensure all blocks are redundant.
i got my youngest a balance bike and by age 3 he was zipping around with ease and blowing everyone's mind.

I've been a balance bike evangelist ever since.

get a used balance bike off craigslist, use it for a while, send it back to craigslist. Super duper. Do recommend.
> maybe you shouldn't dress like that if you don't want the attention.

Have you ever taken the selective attention test?

I've learnt this lesson the hard way recently.

I dislike my projects failing and missing deadlines. So in addition to pushing back against unrealistic expectations, I caught other people's dropped balls and filled the gaps of un-backfilled roles. On top of that when there was down times, instead of resting, I took on fun side projects that had higher impact for my employer than the work actually assigned to me.

They got me with praise and guilt tripping, until last year, all the little "do this one more thing", "can you ship it 1 day earlier" had turned into me delivering by myself as much work as the rest of my team on ~20h weeks (because the other 20h I was unable to function due to burnout). We're siloed into different projects so I never realized I was doing 5x the work rather than 20% extra until a new reporting tool visible to each other was used...

So this year, I'm not doing side projects, fixing other people's messes or doing other people's work. I've told my manager and he's bringing an extra person to the team. I'll do my work and I'll do it well but I'm a contractor paid half what my FTE counterparts are, and it's not like there is a path to promotion so I'm not going to compromise my health anymore to do the work of 4 extra people for free. Not in any future job.

Point is, check your workload and if you're doing more than what you're paid for: that's where you can take back the time to find meaning in different things. It's not slacking if you're delivering a day's worth of work in a day, no matter how much HR BS tries to guilt trip you into thinking that.
My kid used a push bike. When it came time to start pedalling, it took 5 minutes with zero falls. He already knew how to balance and turn (most of the biking skills), it was just a new way to move the bike forward.

Not sure if it helped, but we had a Strider-brand push bike which you can and add pedals to when ready. He was already familiar with that exact bike.
Way way way way more than 1 in 5. Honestly.
My understanding is that California has two relevant laws for this discussion:

21453 (a) which prohibits crossing the stop line when the light is red [1]. And 22526 (a) which prohibits entering an intersection when the exit isn't clear. [2]

You have to be able to clear the intersection if you enter it, and you have to enter it on green or yellow (except for turn on red after a stop), but you don't have to clear the intersection before it goes red.

Common practice (which might not be 100% legal) for unprotected lefts on green (where space permits) is for the first car to fully enter the intersection and the second car to roll over the line a bit, then for both vehicles to clear the intersection when opposing traffic stops which may be in yellow or red. The driver that's only a bit in the intersection can make a judgement call and stay slightly encroaching rather than clear the intersection if clearing seems inadvisable because opposing traffic was slow to stop.

IIRC that was over a year ago. But even in the EV market Tesla has been losing market share, mainly to Volkswagen, but not as much as in the overall car market.
