... Except you are factually wrong. The highest predictor of academic success, is the academic success of ones parents. The next highest predictor is the socio-economic status of ones parents (or guardians). This is true the world over, but the research was pioneered in the U.S... It's interesting because other countries have taken the U.S research and started applying policies to fix it.. but the US is still caught up on treating it as a "Schools" problem...

So.. if you levelled the socio-economic part, you'd start a positive cycle of generations improving, rather than the negative cycle of things getting worse.

I don't use GTD to take control of present moment actions (listing every small action would be a waste of time that is better spent 'determining what the next action is'), I use it mostly to not forget delayed important tasks. As I grow old and grow in responsabilities I easily forget stuff and I don't want to be worried about it.

I think GTD is a system that must be adapted to your particular work and personality. You can't use it out-of-the-box, that's why I recomend my implementation only as a starting point.

There were comprehensive studies done by education evaluation experts. Their recommendations (like those listed in the GP) were completely ignored because of funding and politics...

China's Great Cannon
One thing I've never figured out a good solution for in make, is multiple-pattern rules. Say I have

LANGS=nob sme sma smj
POS=V N A

and want to run something on all combinations of these, like

./something --pos=V --f1=nob.f --f2=sme.f nob.txt sme.txt > nob-sme.V

– how can I make a pattern goal for that? I invariably end up with some redundancy, where e.g. only the "V" in the example above turns into my % (and $ * ), e.g.

nob-sme.%: nob.f sme.f nob.txt sme.txt pos/%
./something --pos=$* --f1=nob.f --f2=sme.f nob.txt sme.txt > $@

Fortunately I haven't yet had to do this for anything too large to just copy-paste stuff, but it feels like something someone would have solved at some point, I've just never seen examples like that in any of the make-alternatives I've looked at.
In my experience with data quality management, manual translation of these edge cases is not pleasant. Yet it can be very valuable. It's a bit like "online learning" in machine learning - each time an error is found, you provide the correct answer. Yes, you might end up with a long array of phrases/regexes to check against. However, it scales just right for the amount of data you have and provides high quality results.
Since the paper was withdrawn and the link to the PDF is broken, you have no way to verify that the comments are correct, nor any way to learn to identify a poorly written paper. This removes almost everything which I might see as 'interesting.'

Putting that aside, it's a duplicate post. Two weeks previous was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9265226 with exactly the same title. The comments at the ITWorld article then are equally dismissive the paper, with essentially the same comments as /. The two comments made then here at HN are all one needs to know about the paper.

This is not something that "good hackers would find interesting", which is the first requirement of the submission guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html because it's impossible to be a good hacker without knowing this introductory level material.

MediaTek is not just a lower-end chip; it potentially has its own unique advanages. E.g. AFAIK only phones with MediaTek chips potentially can:

- ring an alarm when in 'off' state

- change their IMEI

I'm not claiming that everyone needs that or that it will be possible on Ubuntu; just reminding that MTK chips have some unique advantages, too.
This gets mentioned a lot but I find it impossible to believe that whoever buys AMD can't also get an x86 license from Intel.

You do realize Intel also has to get an x64 license from AMD, right? So unless Intel is good with not making 64-bit chips anymore, I think it will continue to give AMD that license...
I have no idea why this is here. There is no CTO anymore (I left) and there are more than 2 engineers.

Perhaps you can email and tell me your results (my email is in my profile).
You've pointed to a study that found a link between individual's grades and genetic differences in one country. But it's a big leap to go from there, and explain why a particular school would have bad grade averages, especially schools in different countries - unless you're making the argument that schools are composed of people from large groups of genetically similar people, and these people are necessarily very distinct from people at schools that have better grade averages. Intuitively, that seems unlikely to me; the society would have to be extremely stratified, geographically and genetically, with very little intermixing.

> Producing quality random floating point numbers, fast, is a solved problem

Is it? Do you have any reference I can read?

Everything I've found is obviously flawed on the level of `(rand() % 1000)/1000.0`. I don't actually care about the C++ facilities that I'm discussing in that post. I just hoped that they would be a good path to follow to find one good source that discusses the various trade-offs between mapping a set of random integers (or a stream of bits, or whatever) to floating points. I've seen serious peer reviewed papers that just randomize the bits of the exponent and mantissa and call that random or papers that do what I've tried to do (which has its flaws) - count the number of representable, uniformly spaced, floating point numbers between `from` and `to` but then generate their random numbers with `random() % count`, which is like restoring the Mona Lisa with crayons.

So I'm completely serious. I'm desperate for a good source, where can I find it?
Sure, there are many things that could be improved.

Anyhow, I'm surprised. I'm a Hardware Engineer myself, so how could I miss that!
RAID (of any kind) isn't a backup because it doesn't store previous versions of files. For example, if your RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, etc. array is attached as a Windows shared network drive -- which is not uncommon -- then CryptoLocker can find it, silently encrypt every single .doc, .pdf, .jpg, etc. file on it, and you're still boned because you don't have a copy of those files before they were changed.

Less dramatically, sometimes people make mistakes, like editing a document, then fat-fingering a mass deletion in the document during the save process and not noticing it until a month later. Again, RAID doesn't protect you from that, but a proper backup system does.

And finally, it's not unheard-of for RAID systems of any kind to just fall over. Even a RAID 10 is a whole lot of redundancy all running on a single drive controller; if that drive controller does something very silly -- and I've seen it happen, we've personally shipped systems to data recovery outfits for this -- then you can end up with garbage on all of your drives.

There are two different concepts at work here. "Redundancy" and "High Availability". RAID uses redundancy, but it belongs under "High Availability" -- it's a system that's designed to still be mostly available even if it suffers a hardware failure. But strictly speaking it does not provide for redundancy of your data.
Some children have the capability to pass a GCSE at grade C or higher, but fail to do so because eg they are child carers for disabled parents or because they had a terrible teacher or etc.

Those children are being failed.

The numbers of children who cannot (not just do not) attain grade C in English and math are a rough proxy for rates of innumeracy and illiteracy. The UK has worryingly high levels of innumeracy and illiteracy.

Here's the English national curriculum.

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-curriculu...

Here's the maths national curriculum. Key stages 3 and 4 cover the GCSE exam.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curricul...

This sounds reasonable for 16 year old children, but don't forget that this work covers clever children who will easily achieve A.

You can get a rough idea of what a grade C means by comparing it to the new numerical grading system to be introduced in 2017. In that system grades range from 1 (low) to 9 (best) (with U still meaning failed). A 4 is expected to be equivalent to a current C.

http://www.aqa.org.uk/supporting-education/policy/gcse-and-a...

> But there are a couple of indicators to help us with this matching. Firstly, a grade four is going to be set at the level of a current grade C. What this means practically is that the same proportion of students who would achieve at least a grade C now will achieve at least a grade four under the new system. We also understand that a grade seven is going to be set at the level of the current A. That means we’ve now got grades four, five, and six to cover C and B… and grade seven, eight and nine to cover A and A. And if we look a bit more at this very top level – where three grades now allow for greater differentiation – we might expect the top half of the current A* students to achieve a nine grade in the new world.

It's great that there is more differentiation between very high attaining students but it's a pretty low bar.
This uses the code snippets from http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code . I wrote many of the Nim ones and collected them over at http://github.com/def-/nim-unsorted/ . But since the Rosetta Code tasks are often not 100% specified, I'm not sure how useful this comparison is. For what it's worth I mostly oriented on Python and C when writing the Nim ones. I also don't know why this comparison uses the old Nimrod name, seems to work with Nim as well: http://rosetta.alhur.es/compare/nim/go/#

Seven commandments of successful outsourcing
I guess I find it hard because I liked learning trig, still enjoy maths and don't use any in my job. I never wanted to do any subjects at school because I thought they'd help my career - indeed I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up and I'm middle-aged [that is a problem mind you] - but rather because I enjoyed it. Same with cooking, I enjoy it. History and any subject requiring memorisation was always a turn off because I have a poor memory - maths/physics works because I can derive stuff I can't remember [or I could back then].

Re your final paragraph - I support that idea though I'm not entirely sure it will be effective. Yes, for some they'll see - "right, if I learn about fluid flows I can move from domestic plumbing [say] to designing optimised mains water fixtures" or "if I learn biology I can help ensure water resources don't negatively impact river ecosystems", but most won't be that inspired, just as most couldn't care less to learn about who signed the Magna Carta just because you told them it influenced the entire legal system from then on. I'm all for child-led learning and have done some flexi-schooling with my eldest child to that end. That said it seems a better basis to move forward on then the current pedagogy - notify parliament and let's make it happen!!
I got burned once with a windows phone Omnia 7 as an early adopter and it was beyond useless (lack of apps/configurability) so I will definitely not rush again on unproven phones despite my interest in Ubuntu.

Thank you.
Yes and no. The phone image is read-only by default, with RW areas for user data / tmp / logs etc. You can easily make the RO portion RW, and then apt-get or dpkg install random packages. However the caveat is we never test that scenario, so if you break it, you get to keep the pieces. You can then re-flash it to get out of this of course.

Well, that was an impulse purchase. "Delivered in 3-4 days", I've no idea what to expect.
So basically:

Throw more money at this problem we've been ineffectively throwing money at for decades[1]. If we just spent a little more money on education, it would work. It's the perfect unfalsifiable position. If you say "spend money and it will fix things," and it doesn't fix things, you can simply say, "oh, you didn't spend enough, or you spent money on the wrong things. You spent money on these issues, but you should have spent it here instead. Try again."

This is not a problem that will be solved by "more money." It will require social and institutional upheaval.

It's easy for Intel to "win benchmarks". Those benchmarks last for a few minutes, which is perfect for Turbo. Do a benchmark that lasts for an hour or even 30 minutes, and then you'll see the limitations of Intel's chips with Turbo.

And it's not about affordability in the case of Core-M. It's about poor performance/price ratio. You get very little for a lot of money, all to get that 5W TDP, which is also misleading because those chips needs to be put into devices that support more like 10W TDP, not 5. That's why most Core-M devices overheat. Intel overpromised on the TDP, and now OEMs get the blame for it.
