How about we start with high school students being prepared for math that concerns their adult life. Like how debt works, compound interest, savings, budgeting, etc?

You assume the people teaching those subjects could do that.

FWIW Obama’s administration instituted a diversity program for ATC that gave points to people that did poorly in school and haven’t had a job recently and penalized people with pilots licenses or military ATC experience and other qualificat

I mean, that's sort of smart isn't it? Wouldn't you rather use someone else's resources instead of your own for as long as you can? Additionally, the deposit becomes a strategic reserve to control prices when needed.

I think he’s saying this because the experience of seeing it at midnight with a performance troupe is distinct from the film itself. The experience can be fun even if the movie is possibly not.

Robert Hughes was a real treasure. His archive is worth exploring if only for his honesty and no bullshit approach. He was incredibly well informed and erudite. His book “The Shock of the New” is a landmark to this day for anyone interested

I think it’s because of the content used for it. Some things do look better. But movies absolutely do not.

Agreed. I mentioned this is another thread - they need to vertically integrate music. They have all the leverage as the distribution channel and controller of algorithms. To start they’d probably want to buy a label or pay money existing la

They have opportunities to leverage their massive footprint by vertically integrating. They could begin to acquire talent and exclusively release their music and prioritize it in their algorithms or forge agreements with existing labels tha

Shareholders have had a poor investment so they do share in the failure. But the way a business works is shareholders vote for a board and the board installs management. This management then installs leaders/managers to oversee the dif

Because managers that manage managers need more people to justify hiring more managers.

What is this “researcher” saying though? There’s nothing specific. It’s just some vague thing with a dash of social justice signaling thrown in. Who decides what a spot calls for? How do we communicate with it. What is “right” and how do we

Back in the early days of TFS I was briefly at a company that went all in on MS tools. TFS was used and to avoid the lock each developer had a clone made and after checking their clone in the “TFS Guy” in the office would merge it. He also

No idea on price of bamboo but my thought is a plantation of it would dramatically outgrow pine. You could harvest numerous times per year. And seeing how pine costs have sores I wonder if there’s an edge there. Unfortunately I don’t have t

Does anyone know if bamboo is capable of being used in engineered lumber? Could you make effective LVL or similar from it? Feels like you’d get dirt cheap, renewable, and super strong lumber this way.

What does reclaiming the banjo as an African instrument mean? I read the interview you linked and it’s really weird, bordering on neurotic. Like this: “For bad, you look at how you take something that was rooted in Black culture, and that b

"It depends". A managers job is to understand the business and what the strategy and ultimate goals of the business are and to direct their organization in such a way that contributes to this. This means staffing, equipping, train

Yeah, I guess there are probably edge cases here. A friend of mine has a large property that would be a great destination wedding type thing. I guess I'm thinking of regular homes being used as a substitute for hotels. Not quite profes

Although I think mandatory rankings and assuming the bottom x% should be exited isn’t great approach, I also don’t think it’s a company or managers job to coach you into being a productive employee. Yes, they should have direct feedback but

The big difference of course being that you’re surrounded by low-IQ, violent men (often mentally ill) who are prone to doing dumb things. Not the kinds of people you want to spend your days with.

I do agree that something needs to be extracted and it’s probably better to require community service than being locked up. If you can’t or won’t pay your debt to society through money then society can hire you to repay the debt.

I made a manual for my house and have been fortunate to meet previous owners. My house hasn’t changed hands often but it’s old so naturally a variety of things have been done. Myself, I’ve made massive changes. The future owners will have a

It's disastrous for an individual to feel like a victim but it's beneficial to groups trying to build power by manipulating people into believing they are victims. Grievance studies in particular are designed to do exactly this.

MongoDB deserves credit with bucking the trend of sans-serif fonts that it seems like every tech company has gone with. Their choices of colors too - brown and green are earthy and unique in the tech landscape. Very bold choices by them and

Of course it is and people recognize it as such and therefore their circulation is very low. So naturally they’re trying to get public funds to put it into schools and into defenseless kids heads through subversion.

It doesn’t really matter as the poster is in the “clueless” cohort of the company and she’s a sociopath. He thinks that the company exists to do whatever he said it was earlier when in fact the sociopaths running it at that time just said t
