Thanks for the reply! Maybe I should clarify that students in my classes only get As if they fully earn it on the assessments. Bad performance doesn't get As, grade grubbing doesn't work, etc. However, I find myself capping the di

Thanks for the link. There's a great point in there about how adjuncts are under much more pressure here than tenure-track.

To put this another way, hopefully these fees could pressure manufacturers to produce vehicles that are just as useful, but don't create as bad externalities (pollution, danger).

As a professor, I'll put out there how I'm currently thinking about grade inflation in my case. Classes of let's say "Type 1" have lots of students and very specific learning objectives. I need to make sure everyone

Says who? I think the idea of "purpose" of a company is very nebulous and interacts opaquely with: the "incentives" of a company, the societal purpose for having companies, the mission statement of a particular company,

This link is fantastic. The exponential method was new to me, and the connection to the Gaussian method was nice.

I don't need lots of updates, but it bothers me to have security holes, and also when apps you need say they are no longer compatible with your OS.

I agree on the benefits of multiple candidates, but you might be underestimating the possibility of long-term change in the two-party structure due to ranked choice voting. It allows third parties to slowly gain voteshare, power, and influe

Yes of course it does and Knuth is well aware (as am I to a lesser extent), but I’m just saying I don’t think it’s relevant to the point he’s making here.

by bo1024 4y ago
It sounds like he's just talking about using variables to solve equations. I think the point he's making in that section is just about learning a good process so you can solve harder and harder problems, e.g. Problem 1: Two number

Wow, this was great. Thinking about codes and permits, I think the idea of self-reinforcing change is interesting here. As more people rent or frequently buy/sell, it makes more and more sense to have strict safety codes and permitting

I don't think the opposite of single-page app is multi-page app. The opposite is not an app at all, it is a "webpage". My viewpoint here: https://notan.app/

Ah, great catch. I keep forgetting about sexual reproduction. To correct the point while keeping the math easy, make it 8 kids each, half of whom have 8 kids and half none, etc. Then each couple contributes on average to two couples in the

There is an extremely important difference between "every woman has fewer children than her mother" and "on average a woman has fewer children than her mother". You can see that in the first scenario the human race dies

Is it known what variant(s) led to this outbreak and lockdown?
468.
by bo1024 4y ago
A variant on this is to pull 3 ballots out and take the majority (if none, keep pulling until there is a plurality then stop). This would make the extreme outlier results less likely, but still maintain most of the properties you said. For

But it seems they do try to participate in the market in order to move demand so that the price stays at 1. Which is just not how UST is designed at all. So I’d like to understand the difference.

That’s my question too.

No dog in the fight, just want to understand. From my quick look at open operations it just sounds like backed stablecoins e.g. USDT, which again is very different from how an algorithmic stablecoin is set up (not supposed to be backed at

by bo1024 4y ago
These comments don't seem very relevant to stablecoins such as this one, which are algorithmic rather than backed. (Although they are now trying to back it, but that's not how it's designed.)

Thanks for the comment. I'm always hoping to learn about these kinds of experiences on HN threads like this.

I agree with some of the premise —- university education doesn’t focus on preparation for specific vocational skills. But you could say the same about high school. It doesn’t follow that reading writing and algebra are bad vocational invest

An analysis of those things would be very interesting. At a basic level, I appreciate the neutered ME and the killswitches, which already put the laptop at the front of the pack.
