First I'm hearing about this, but sounds wonderful. We were told we would be reimbursed, and they're generally good about that sort of thing, but thank you! Please consider looking at places like DonorsChoose if you'd like to

To be fair, part of my post was getting it off my chest. There's definitely a backlash to when these things happen that attempts to rationalize them i.e. "They don't happen that often!" and "The media seizes on thes

This is one of those issues that people have a myriad of solutions for that they want to share, and I've just learned to appreciate the mental effort as it's usually coming from a genuine place. Too often though it's like, &q

Appreciate your wishes for better pay and stance on gun control. One of the subjects I teach is stats, and I wish I could draw comfort from that statistic myself.

I understand the impulse for smaller schools, trust me. I think you'd be surprised to look into city schools and the capacities they were originally built for, compared to the amount of students they serve today. Part of that is land v

When I came in as a new teacher, I had the same thoughts regarding school fortification. We have two armed guards at school and metal detectors. One guard at front door, the other roving. Our district actually got low 9 figures in stimulus

I appreciate this, thank you. I have quite a few friends that went to Germany for graduate school and really cherish that lifestyle, to the point where they're hesitant to come back and are considering starting a family there.

I teach on the second floor of a city school where budget issues mean we don't have metal doors to the classrooms (older building, first floor has them). Every room has a metal cabinet though, and so our barricade procedure for the roo

There's a middle ground here, but the argument you're making is essentially the same for the rule of elites as arbiters on what constitutes good faith and rationality on a society. These are emergent properties that come from free

For anyone looking for a more thorough breakdown of features and capabilities, Andrew Huang just did a great (sponsored) video on the device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqGnKfhVhZ8

I wonder if trickle charging with a few calculator-type solar cells on each edge of the frame (not the face of the frame) would be feasible as well to prolong battery life.

I know this is going to be a violation of the rules, but this is truly one of the most divorced-from-reality, stunningly dumb things I've ever read.

I'm a high school math teacher, and I think statistics education is desperately lacking in graduating seniors. I think the space for it should come from cutting pre-calculus as a yearlong course though, with some of the concepts backfi

I'm far removed from this area of making software but I have to say I absolutely love the name ("Hammer" in Hindi)!

It really is incredible, the short flange distance rivals APS-C lens mounts, while the throat and inner diameter is by far the largest of the current mirrorless mounts. In practice, lenses are extremely well-balanced relative to the body, e

Exactly this, I've seen so much made of local budgets giving less to PD's in percentage terms, which is disingenuous in the era of increased municipal spending during COVID.

First thing I noticed when getting a rotating monitor and put it in portrait mode was that reading speed went up. Not sure if it's less head movement and consequently neck strain, but anecdotally this helped my reading speed. Not sure

Face Unlock has been an available feature on every Pixel for a while and is present in the latest Android 12 Beta, it's just not depth-sensing because it lacks the hardware that the Pixel 4 and iPhone use, just uses front-facing camera

With Windows installs, they use Windows Precision drivers and feel at least as good as a Surface Book trackpad. YMMV with Linux however.

Highlighted on the Linus Tech Tips video on the Framework laptop, there are thoughtful touches like drivers installing in unattended mode upon OS install, so the team clearly puts importance on that seamless functional experience too.
