Have you considered a consumer-billing version of this service, for students who are not low-income? For example, charging students for time credits they can use on the app, and paying tutors for their time? Perhaps you could use the reve

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sl

So how do you test the design? I ask this sincerely. To me it seems that it's rare to know in correct detail what the design is supposed to do in advance, but also that even if you do, it often has oversights that aren't spotted

Is there any co-ordinated political response to this in the UK? Where do I sign up?

I'd only disagree that this is anything new. Yeats clearly recognised this over a century ago.

Surely thinking you've got the right to police and punish other people for their views is wokeness, regardless of how ridiculous said views are?

Perhaps Maastricht might be a better place to draw the line. But it's not like the changes at Lisbon were trivial; for example, changing unanimous voting to majority was a qualitative change in the character of the organization. My

Come on, that's not fair. The EEC was a very different beast to today's EU. The modern form of the EU could certainly be argued as starting with the Treaty of Lisbon.

I understand this was supposed to be sarcastic but I've been informally working on this for years. I have a technique which seems to work wonders with students but I haven't the resources to test it scientifically, so do with thi

This is the fundamental problem with "evidence led policy". As soon as science can reliably affect policy outcomes, people who want to change policy outcomes will corrupt the science.

This sounds like great advice that's very difficult to follow. How do you find a small and unusually talented team? And if you don't yet have the required skills, how do you get hired by them?

It's not surprising from Cade Metz - he has a long track record of being deeply unethical. https://medium.com/@garyweiss_86200/cade-metz-pulls-a-deep-c...

You're ignoring the main issue here: Metz has no legitimate reason for publishing Scott's name. It's a purely spiteful move that provides no benefit to his readers. Based on his behaviour in this and other[1] situations, I h

It might be popular in Britain. Cwtch is the one Welsh word that non-Welsh people know. A bit like craic.

How about "literally everything wrong with the world is caused by an evil conspiracy of cis-het white men?" It's a common belief and not less crazy.

Job-seekers are legally prevented from paying to look for work in my jurisdiction. It may be a while until that imbalance gets fixed.

I know right? Wittgenstein solved the whole thing in 1922 and yet here we are 100 years later, still acting like "knowing the truth" is a hard problem. (Here's hoping I can avoid the wrath of Poe's law)

This seems like pretty good advice, but what if you can't follow it? Say you're the one with ultimate responsibility for a tech team of exactly two. What's the least bad thing you can do?

by dataduck 6y ago
That's because it's the same thing. Creating the level of order necessary for learning (or any other civilized behaviour) is the entirety of what "Patriarchy" really means. White supremacy recently got redefined to inc

Thanks. > Generally, I'd look for a small shop in your local area and vet them. How would you recommend to vet them to someone without a security background?

Youch, that's out of our price range for sure. Was that an upfront advertised cost or did you end up getting strung along to it?
