If I take this at face value, you believe the US education is failing only because Americans are fat, stupid, and broke and simultaneously spend too much on education for worse outcomes, which contradicts being broke.

Yet there could be no other, more specific reasons such as leveraging education and specifically school boards for partisan purposes? A practice of which that has only increased in frequency over the last 30 years?

IMO any professor who doesn't fail a student who deserves it should be fired, tenure or no.

I had a professor who was in a tenure-track role in our math department and he was "brave" enough to fail me (just barely - 59.8 or thereabouts) in his first semester. I retook the class the very next semester and did better than most but it was definitely a wake up call for me about what it takes to actually do well at the collegiate level.

The classes I took in college didn't really help me very much in my career, but the work absolutely did. Whatever your metric of "professional success" is I would almost certainly be worse off if I had just been able to check off a few boxes and get through college without having to put in that effort.

Passing kids who should be failing does them a disservice. Graduating kids who should flunk out entirely does everyone else in society a disservice.

The ones I did this from were "Compute!" and "Compute's Gazette! (for Commodore 64 and VIC-20)". They were all octal numbers, if I remember correctly, and the last number in each row was a checksum. I also paid my sister to type in some of them in for me. A lot of them were games, but there were also some very useful programs in there. I spent so many late nights typing away on that 8-bit machine. It was a cool time to be a kid who was interested in computers.
Umami is a lot more present that people recognize. I've built up an intuition for this over the years, and also sort of trained my tongue.

What we call umami is a subjective experience that has an underlying molecular cause, but it's complicated: more than one molecule contributes to the sensation, different foods have different molecules, many people can't recognize it on its own, etc.

The most easily recognized umami tastes seem to come from hydrolyzed soy protein and yeast extracts- both are added to tons of food. The canonical example is Doritos, which are a masterpiece of modern food industrial optimization. Doritos are mostly corn, but they also add whey (cheese derived umami), MSG (molecular, isolated glutamate in salt form), buttermilk (multiple flavors including umami), romano cheese (more umami!), tomato powder (umami), inositate (umami). It's basically an umami bomb.

From what I can tell, the best umami flavors come from a combination of several different molecules combined with some salt. the combination seems to potentiate the flavor significantly. You can also saturate out your receptors- if you drink a highly concentrated broth, you'll see there's some upper limit to the amount of umami you can taste and after that, additional aminos are just wasted.
Totally agree. Green tube powder is awesome on cheap pizza and cheap pasta.

Real parm is awesome shaved in salads, mixed in fancy pasta or risotto, etc.

But they are as different as cheddar and mozzarella. They taste nothing alike.
Good example. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of different ways people have invented color pickers. Every app does it a little differently, meaning you have to stop and think about it every time. I'll take a simple select with the color name. If you want a swatch, put that off to the side and update it with an event handler on the select.

Can we please retire this dichotomy? Part of why teams do this in the first place is because there's this language of "being left behind."

We badly need to retreat to a world in which rigorous engineering is applauded and expected—not treated as a nice to have or "old world thinking."

I wonder if our prestige has moved from having knowledge of difficult works (in difficult English, in other languages, in historic English) to having knowledge on a breadth of subjects.

Someone telling me they’ve read Virgil in Latin reads like a party trick to me. It’s certainly neat, but begs me to ask “why?” rather than inspiring awe. Someone being able to have an engaging conversation on macroeconomics, Supreme Court precedents from 50 years ago, and trends in social media is much more impressive.

That’s not to say there’s no value in acclaimed works, but the value now seems intrinsic rather than societal accolades. No one is impressed when your email about a meeting next week is a paragraph long sentence that requires a thesaurus to understand.

Can you comment on the business case here? I think there was a Blender add on that uses Solvespace under the hood to give it CAD-like functionality.

I don’t know any pros using Solvespace by itself, and my own opinion is that CAD is the wrong paradigm for most of the things it’s used for anyway (like highway design).

This story makes me cry every time I read it, at the line "You were victimizing yourself". It's not an ugly cry, but a sort of somber pain. I think humans are predisposed - probably evolutionary - to remember the bad more than the good. The world, nature, is unkind and our survival doesn't much depend on our ability to recall positive feelings beyond procreation and good food.

I want, desperately, to be the best steward in providing kindness and assistance to anyone and everyone I can within my means while also living the most fulfilling life I can and sharing my knowledge with others.

If anyone asks me if I'm religious, this is the answer. I've always thought of religion - for the rational, at least - to be a sort of known double-think. A known suspension of belief as a tool. When I need that tool, I think of the egg.

Whenever I think about how cruel someone is being to others, I take some solace in imagining that at some point, they too, will experience their own cruelty. Not in a "they deserve punishment way" but in a "they will understand, someday" way.

The main thing being banned means is that the account's posts are killed by default—that is, they begin in the [dead] state, which is removed from the default public view. Users who turn on the 'showdead' setting in their profile can see all the [dead] comments, but no one else can.

Occasionally, a [dead] post is actually good for HN. (Even banned accounts sometimes post good submissions or comments, and we don't necessarily want those to remain invisible.) In such cases, users can vouch for the [dead] post to unkill it, i.e. to take it out of the [dead] state and restore it to full public visibility. Only a tiny fraction of [dead] posts get restored in this way, so the vast majority of posts by banned accounts remain [dead].

We're sometimes asked why we allow banned accounts to continue to post to HN (albeit in a [dead] state). Wouldn't it be better to block them altogether? It's a bit counterintuitive, but this would actually be worse. Many of the banned users would simply create new accounts—and those comments would be publicly visible until we caught them and banned them again. So, paradoxically, allowing banned accounts to keep posting (but in a default-invisible state) is the way to minimize their effect on HN. Trying to restrict them further would just end up exposing more people to the abusive posts.

The main disadvantage of this design, in my experience, is that users sometimes forget that they turned 'showdead' on in their profile, and then wonder why they're seeing such dreadful stuff in the comments! So if you turn 'showdead' on, please remember what this means: you're basically signing up to see the worst stuff that the internet has to offer on this forum.

Why turn the setting on at all? Well, many HN users are the curious sort who either want to see everything under the hood, or who feel strongly about censorship and want the freedom to decide for themselves what they think about banned accounts. Also, not all the posts that end up in the [dead] state are bad—there are many ways for a good post to end up [dead] by mistake (including false positives by spam filters), and users with 'showdead' turn on are able to vouch for those and restore them.
"there is an "asymmetry" in which user consent for Apple's own data collection is obtained with a single pop-up, but other publishers are "required to obtain double consent from users for tracking on third-party sites and applications."

Apologies, you asked what the asymmetry was and I guess I'm still rather confused even after reviewing the thread. I think I've had too much caffeine...or not enough? :)

I've been involved in regulatory stuff before and it's considered overreach, generally, when the government does UX design for you. Hopefully, that's a solution Apple can consider, it's a great idea on your end, excellent for users and competition.
Not by choice.

What I was recently disappointed to find out is that you can't have a separate "display name" for the option items. That is, when the user clicks and the dropdown opens, I want the item labels in the dropdown to be of the form "$TITLE ($SHORT_DESCRIPTION)", but then when the dropdown is closed and something is selected, the control should just read "$TITLE". There are a few hacks to sort of make that work, but they all have downsides that make them unusable for me. (The purpose for me was to make it so the <select> element doesn't take up as much horizontal space; most of the workarounds end up missing that quality.)

There was one thing that I hoped would work, but didn't, which is applying an :after pseudo-class to <option>, so something like this:

option:after {
content: ' (' attr(data-descr) ')';
}

<select>
<option data-descr="some description">Foo</option>
<option data-descr="some other stuff">Bar</option>
</select>

Unfortunately this just doesn't work (I presume because <option> can't contain DOM elements aside from unstyled text), but I wonder if it will work now.

The observable universe is an illusory artifact of being an observer traveling at less than the speed of light. A constant distance in every direction is a sphere. That tells us nothing about the actual structure of the universe.

In other words, your observable universe is different than mine and that's both spheres we're in the middle of. That suggests the universe itself probably isn't a sphere.
Nope, doesn't clear anything up. Redeclaring your statement doesn't really answer any questions that arose from your original statement.

I still have these questions: What is a marginalized group, and why is that important? Why does being an "authority figure" mean it's okay to overgeneralize?

You're declaring these to be important factors in whether or not it's "okay" to overgeneralize specifically for the purposes of demonizing an entire population. I'm arguing that generalizing like this is never acceptable. In fact, I'm arguing that doing this is actively harmful to the goal you ostensibly are serving by demonizing this group in particular (unless you have ulterior motives, I suppose).

You have yet to explain why it's acceptable, and what makes it acceptable. Further, you should explain why overgeneralizing like this is useful, and how it actually furthers your goal.

Actually, I'm not sure what your goal is, other than to spread hate?
This is far deeper a crisis than I get the impression is being understood by these comments. This is a serious economic issue for each and every business going forward, because they are the future employee pool.

I've been working in software development for 40+ years, where I was lucky to work on multiple high profile projects. The last 25 years I've worked with a lot of recent graduates at both undergrad and graduate levels, due to consulting for their startups and places they work. I've been considering it a covid cognitive impact, but my one person's experience I know is unreliable. I have found basic indirection is an issue with recent graduates, as in "pointers are hard", which on first exposure sure, but years later? More than one level of indirection, and they have to stop and reason it out. I've never considered memory management difficult, and the push for "memory safety" to be more about selling software than actual "safety"; but for recent graduates they are afraid of handling their own memory, and could not if they tried; too many levels of logical indirection active at once. Working with soon to graduate software interns, their reliance on AI is dangerous - they don't know their fundamentals, and are masking that lack of understanding so they'll never really know.

The real issue is a lack of cognitive flow: asking for a description of their work, their reply does not logically flow. It jumps around, meanders, maybe answers the question, maybe not. After a while they just stop talking like they ran out of words.

I'm not saying this to be a "me too, get off my lawn" comment. This is a serious, nation in crisis level issue. It part of why our politics is so haywire: it's not just recent graduates, our educational system has been manufacturing people like this for about two decades.
Maybe "cleaner" really means "more uniform", compared to the wide variety of Linux distros and their incompatibilities? Or like the word "intuitive", really just means "what I'm used to".

edit:

The point is, I can see where the "asymmetry" is, but I don't understand why they went decided to fine Apple rather than do something on their side (ie. rework the idea of consent in GDPR to allow for reusing the ATT prompt) to fix the "asymmetry". I think most people would agree that the ATT prompt from iOS must stay, and it's better to address the "asymmetry" by making third party apps more streamlined, than by making iOS worse[1]. That would be entirely within the French regulators' remit.

Show HN: My SaaS for performance reviews setting goals and driving success
Hello HN

I've built my first SaaS in many years.

https://prfrmhq.com

Using this you can manage teams of people, review periods, performance plans and goals. It's more open and transparent way of managing team and individual goals.

You can see a gif on the landing that shows some of the key pages / flows.

also take a look at 2 of the shorts
https://youtube.com/shorts/V3xQ_yLuEcs - an intro
https://youtube.com/shorts/Iva3tdv8QV4 - a demo of Jessica's goal

It offers
- a way to manage people in a team manner, open and everyone can see everyone else's goals.
- an AI Goals assistant that will use various inputs to suggest goals, which you can then apply to a plan and schedule and track.
- a way to create private teams for those people / plans that should not be widely visible.
- various tiers of the product - as various price points - that offer more functionality / AI credits / teams / people limits.

Caveats
- I have disabled registration. The site says I am currently onboarding new users into ArchitectFWD Performance (prfrmHQ™) to understand you better and see how the product features are used and what we need to change or add. I've done this as this is in at validation phase I can't just open it up. Also it would burn through my AWS budget!
- Limited feature set, e.g. I can manage teams of people but those people aren't linked to a login. I have no email / notification and other reminder functionality.

I'm super excited at what I built as it serves as a good base for other ideas I have in other domains.

Glad to hear your thoughts.

The cellulose isn't there as filler, it's to prevent clumping. You need it.

And the finer the cheese is grated, the more surface area, so the more cellulose you need.

It's not optional.

(Also no idea what crystals you're talking about, but you don't eat the rind. You can save it to add flavor to soups though, taking it back out at the end. That's just more about not wasting it since it's inedible though.)
So it's a very marginal improvement. Got it. I'd recommend just buying the first one for cheaper.

I stopped buying pre-shredded cheese a decade ago. Block cheese is cheaper, lasts longer, and cooks better. Pre-shredded is just worse in every way aside from convenience. Using a cheap rotary grater like they have in restaurants makes this almost a non-issue.
> "told reporters the regulator had not spelled out how Apple should change its app, but that it was up to the company to make sure it now complied with the ruling,"...shakedown

I wonder if this sheds light: if they said exactly what to do, there's a strong argument that they went too far when business regulators became UI designers.

> Wait until they tweak it then fine them again for getting it “wrong”

I don't worry too much about it, I used to work at Google, companies and regulatory authorities are in constant contact. Generally, I haven't yet seen a company claim to have addressed a situation then gotten fined again.

> And all because the regulator wants users to be advertised to more?
