The global income distribution model (farmers in India -> Jeff Bezos) is problematic. But it's such a chaotic system that anyone claiming to have the solution (similar to anyone claiming there is no problem) is likely lying. The onl

Discourse on reddit has eroded from brigading and censorship and so this is the result.

The point is that you can hold a door open for everyone, but only the people who need it will use it.

Agreed. Not only did perl6 completely fail to deliver (far too much deviation from perl's heart), but it took the air out of the sails of perl5 development for years.

I dislike Plex's deceitful in-app advertising, but when I tried to set up Jellyfin there were some issues. That was about a year ago, probably worth the revisit.

I am a body purist, but I understand why people are curious about these things. More functional than navel piercings, at least.

In the UK this could be for very different reasons than in the US. It is particularly hard to fire there, this may have been seen as a cheaper and easier route.

It seems like the greatest thing lagging behind is society. What the reddit poster did was possible 20 years ago, but likely would have caused wistful maidens to faint, etc.

Look at the reddit front page and tell me it isn't enabling much of these behaviors.

Because you have, in 90 (99?) percent of instances a smart person (probably IQ 120+) doing a stupid menial job that requires a level of competence that only someone smart can provide. So to prevent themselves from ending it all, they invent

We are in the "epicycles" phase of physics discovery, at both the micro and macro level. I may not live to see it, but I'm excited for when everything just "clicks" and the model becomes more simple and elegant, as

The sociological aspects of teaching are becoming more demanding over time, which draws teachers to private schools despite the generally lower pay.

While I mostly agree with you, if you look at public vs private schools, the divide in education is not in STEM. It is in history and "English" (grammar, writing, speaking). And while private schools are doubling down on those thi

I am highly involved in local and statewide policymaking in this field. The property tax levy is fixed year to year, and makes up the majority of the revenue for school districts in my state. That levy can only go up by law 2% yoy without

With inflation being what it is, civil service workers (including teachers) are going to be feeling a bit of a squeeze. We are already seeing it with bus drivers and teacher aides - there is no way for the public sector to keep up with priv

Many states have made this model (teacher "pods") illegal, which is terrible because I believe it is the future of education.

These are seedling trees, less than a foot high. They're expected to fail at a pretty high rate. In the future I'll be updating to 2nd year trees which seem to have a better cost/survival rate.

A variety. I'm working to restore a large tract of former farmland, and so we're trying to plant whatever sticks to increase biodiversity.

Trees tend to fail spectacularly, even for seasoned growers. The site that I bulk purchase seedlings from estimates a failure rate as high as 70% for evergreen plugs if you do everything right . As you move up from seedlings to 3 year old

A cautionary note is not a shallow dismissal. In your action, ensure you are improving discourse, not eliminating it.
