Even (some) test scores like the SAT are getting disfavored by some colleges. Rich kids have more support (private teachers, mentors, test preps), sometimes their parents have more free time.

I am not sure most of the calls are bug reports. There's a customer support level, they triage. Sometimes what the customer think it's a bug it's a design decision (or lack of a feature) and the customer support knows another

One day they will just film using something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnBC5bwV5y0 that's easily replaceable post-production with computer generated graphics.

A lot of artists (or their managers) are! I’ve been watching some YouTube videos from Ricky Beato and he talks about “blockers”, and within the same label you have different artists that block or don’t.

These discussions are kinda pointless if we don't have a baseline agreement of what's a project or a plan. Is "we will build a CRM" a plan? Is "we will build a mobile CRM app" a twice as detailed plan than the

My son's school changed to full day this year (Los Gatos, CA area) - but I think all the other schools in the district were full day already. When he did Kindergarten few years ago, it was for half a day.

To be fair, cigarettes have additional restrictions like where and to whom it can be sold, and also advertisement. Or even being explicitly called out on media ratings: PG-13, contains smoking! I don't know if anyone has quantified the

Taxes have always been high in California, didn't they? It's not like it changed dramatically in the last 5 months compared to the last 5 decades, compared to the rest of the nation. And still, California kept growing.

And video players have controls, like pause, and analytics and metrics, which are sent to the server.

Forget about pundits, Bill Clinton made this argument: "The American people support this agreement because they know it's good for jobs in America and good for human rights and the development of democracy in China." https:&

At a higher level Agile is about delivering value end-to-end as soon as possible, repeated a lot of times. The iterative part is important, because you're supposed to be measuring and learning based on past deliverables. I don't k

In Brazil it's definitively a group thing, specially families. Friday night is pizza night in a lot of homes. I left Brazil 7 years ago so maybe some things have changed, but never once I have ordered a "smaller" pizza for pe

Being inside FB (or any other large company) has way more advantages than users entering the door. Just the metrics and analytics that FB can gather on experiments is an insanely huge hill a regular startup can't climb. FB can gather a

Teachers are so under appreciated. It takes a lot of knowledge, training, and some have years and years of experience on how to make kids pay attention to the class and study. I am trying really hard at home but there's no way I can ev

To be empathetic, there's a 4th group of parents, those who can't really help. A single mom of 2 that used to rely on school and day care to work is between a rock and a hard place now. Either they work and are able to put food on

Depends what you mean by mainstream, or acknowledged. That's one of main talking points of Bernie Sanders, which was almost there as the Democrat candidate. I feel like everybody had the chance to see it, so it was mainstream. Acknowle

An article I read recently makes a similar point on maximizing only one side of supply and demand and the effects for consumers and “quality”, in this case, how animals are killed. Good read: https://www.vox.com/future-perfe

A lot of times the victims give these type of information to the scammer. Not saying this is what happened to your parents, but my aunt got a call where a young man was crying and SHE was the one that asked for my name. From there it was qu

I live close to a small town in the Bay Area, called Los Gatos. Quaint, expensive, beautiful place. It was Big Truck Day at the library and a lot of government employees were showing their vehicles. Fire trucks, trash compactors, a huge bul

No when life gives you lemons, there is no need for whataboutism. Let’s keep pressuring and working to get to training and accountability too.

It is not a huge amount, and it is not happening in most cities. Take a random example here in California, probably 50 people looted Best Buy this weekend? For a city of 70k? Vast minority. In a country that has 20k cities. There is no way

Right, it's 100% wordplay for political reasons. I really don't like Trump. He probably should be tried in Hague for what's happening at the border with caged children. He's a white nationalist destroying US institutions

Who said anything about big government, or increasing its size? Specially it being more virtuous If anything, I have advocated for a culture where the smartest people want to join the public service and help others instead of becoming a pro
