The quality of HN has decreased considerably over the last 4 years or so, much like the rest of society sadly. Posts like this, to me, should just be removed. There is little valid discussion, it's drowned out by…
I don't buy this. Rich people already have better schools and will do better anyway. The divide is growing not because of schooling but because of the centralization of wealth.
Choice of schools will just lead to more centralization and it won't be any different than it is now. It doesn't really solve the underlying problem.
I'm not sold on gifted education, but I am sold on providing advanced classes for students who are further along. I don't believe you are gifted or not. If I did, I wouldn't be as successful as I am, because I didn't…
Black americans have been around longer than Italian Americans have been, and they're still "integrating?" I don't buy that at all.
God is that a bad image. "Helping others means cutting off your own leg" isn't really something I can get behind.
> like breaking up the traditional channel bundle and increasing access to more personalized and niche content. Yea this is benefit decreases every day. The "cord-cutting" phenomenon is dead. Want to watch a discovery…
Yea that's what I said - you need to have important/urgent controls physically on the stalk because it's faster than voice commands. What am I not getting? Slow is clearly the problem - that's why they're on the stalk.
What did you buy? I'm suddenly interested...
Voice controls do a help a lot in many usecases, but are still slower than a physical button in many others.
The problem is that basic controls got moved into touch screen interfaces. Before I could turn my fan speed knob by feel. It was "stepped" so I knew what level it was at when I moved it, if it was min/max. Same with…
There's plenty of evidence/public court rulings which thoroughly debunk these claims. Why should I believe anything that supports trump. He said "we have the virus under control." Yea, let's believe his cronies. Give me…
> Those two things are not in conflict with each other: a sizable percentage of Trump voters may have been counting on the fact that they could secretly vote in order to protect themselves and even their jobs. Black…
Of course - but that just makes a bad thing worse. The capital riots were bad. No amount of far right-wing sugar coating is going to change that.
This article doesn't disprove much. Being "pro-trump" doesn't make the death not count. 3 of the five died because of the protests - it doesn't matter which side. You can argue that a stroke/heart attack may not have…
All of the "evidence" here is from sources like the Washington Examiner and "The RF angle" Are you kidding me? If you want real evidence of "irregularities" look elsewhere, its certainly not here.
~75 million people voted for Donald Trump - it is hardly socially unacceptable to vote for a republican and you have a secret vote anyway.
Trump continually attacked the media, Trump literally said the media was the enemy of the people. He would ignore questions from other agencies, even those without bias. Until people in their own parties start standing…
Yep, the partisanship is absolutely insane, far worse than in years past. The problem is now moderates are getting forced to join sides - which leads to even more polarizing candidates.
I'd be very wary of any studies that ask people to identify "activity level."
It costs time and value when you really can't control it. No matter what there will be attrition for reasons completely outside of a company's control. You find a comfortable attrition rate for your business. if it's…
Academic BS is just as bad, if not worse. You have far less options. It's way easier to just "find another job" than it is to "find another phd program" and colleges/professors abuse the shit out of it.
You don't bother thinking about that. Over time you have a large enough sample size for attrition rate and you hire based off that. it doesn't matter if a few leave, a few will always leave.
HN is filled with ultra talented devs getting offers. It's not that easy to find a new job for 90% of the population.
Exactly this. Many people are introduced to it in college at this point. Also too the world they grow up in is far different. Computing for us was a lot more intensive to them, who now just pull one right out of their…
