Our district has a new policy this year for primary school: no project work at home (This was historically a HUGE time sync), and no at-home writing assignments. Typically, this means homework is whatever math the kids didn't finish i

How do you handle the family logistics that facilitate going to bed by 8pm?
783.
by eitally 7y ago
I think arguing isn't worth the effort. The fact is, it's easier for the state to set start times later than it is for millions of parents to get their kids to bed on time (for all sorts of reasons).

Look, when I was in high school we had our first period starting at 7:07am, and the school overall was released at 2:15pm. Plenty of kids, myself included, performed just fine. But, that doesn't mean it's physiologically optimal

I mean yes, but you don't even need to make that leap. Just look at outwear, shoes, and clothing accessories. fwiw, I'm also a big fan of uniforms and the uniform separates can typically be purchased at places like Old Navy or Ta

Starting salaries in North Carolina -- in 2019 -- are $35,000 for first year teachers. The top end is $58k. It's embarrassing. http://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/fbs/finance/salary/sched...

fwiw, Google at least has policies around how to handle PII in support tickets, as well as how to handle PII in bugs reported against public-facing-ish software (like Chrome). That's not to say there can't be bad actors or lapses

The models in isolation aren't useful. The knowledge to create models like them is where the value lies, but it's only possible to generate value if you can do this in a way that is broadly applicable... which is where building

+1! I studied under Terry Belanger there as an undergrad and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my time in university.

I disagree. Well, I agree, but with nuance. A promotion for a knowledge worker role is typically a recognition of already having been operating at a higher level than the employee is currently mapped to. This is not the same as promoti

No. It's rare for players to transfer up. In fact, the ones that do transfer are usually the ones who do have professional prospects but aren't currently projected as lottery pics (and some who are, like Jalen Hurts transferri

I don't think that's necessarily true. It's true for the Big 5 "Power" conferences because they negotiate enormous media contracts, but if you're a mid-major school in a 2nd or 3rd tier city, and especially if

I have a Garmin 5 Plus. The battery lasts 5-6 days with normal use and always-on screen and 24x7 wear. I charge it in the car during my commute on Fridays.

I am one, too, with specialization in high tech electronics manufacturing processes and control systems. To be honest, it's relatively straightforward to understand how manufacturing works... If you have access to a factory. The two

Yes it is. Companies set salary ranges based on cost of labor in given markets. They do this by grouping job codes into job families. The job families are what's benchmarked. It's entirely possible for there to be a broad rang

I think it's more complicated than that (for all three vendors) because customer contracting can involve all sorts of convoluted terms, especially mega-deals. Using ARR makes more logical sense because it provides a less messy way of

Put Menlo, Mountain View & Atherton with Palo Alto and keep it separate as the "mid-peninsula" entity. Move Sunnyvale, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Campbell into the San Jose / Santa Clara group as the "south bay&quot

Sure, but good luck easily getting to Golden Gate Park if you're, say, coming from Mission Bay. And if you can afford to live in the hillier parts of town the odds are good you probably have decent (albeit small) neighborhood parks.

There is an alternative. Don't live in a big city! There are plenty of 2nd & 3rd tier cities where you can get both a house and land for a reasonable price and still have good schools and a vibrant cultural environment. Of cours

Dunno about anyone else, but I, for one, only like things from people I actually know, regardless how much I appreciate or enjoy the content posted in an ad, by an influencer, or by a company.

I think the challenge is that the IBM team have been literally selling products competing directly (but far less well) with what RH has on their truck. IBM+RH need to formulate and socialize a clear and consistent cloud, product & cons

I wish this comment was higher. Not because it's Boing Boing, but because literally the entire rest of this comment thread focused on the bike part and not the subscription part. What people need to know is that the subscription via

Those people aren't training using 30-45min spin classes. They're on a resistance trainer using TrainerRoad/Zwift workouts mostly based on time-in-saddle.

It's not "better" coaching, just directly engaged instruction. TrainerRoad/Zwift workouts are tailored to specific goals, whereas spin classes are aimed at general fitness... and I've never seen one that lasted ove

It's not remotely the same people who buy $10k regular bikes. I'd guess the cross-section of those two populations almost don't intersect at all.

This isn't universally true. I'm happy to report that the Cardiac Surgery step-down unit at Boston Children's does a fantastic job working with families to determine the least intrusive modes of nursing care based on their n
