The title of pt. 2 is How our education system is far from its original ideals . It's available on apple and audible.

GN did a documentary on the situation from the perspective of consumer-facing companies. Seems pretty dire for them, and it's hard to see the long-range consequences, but the idea …

Yeah, while going through college I had that exact thought, I wonder if in many fields we're at a tipping point where we should be conveying what we don't know more than what we do…

Y'know it's funny how, at least in my experience, education worked. We're handed a bunch of simplified models then build on them. The consequence being that the landscape is very n…

I have a 2018 WRX and I was considering removing the "telematics" module and updating the head unit to something more modern so I could use Android Auto but I was thinking that thr…

It feels like there's been a significant cinching of personal rights recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with crypto's relatively recent adoption by institutional movers. N…

They need real, tangible, meaningful threats. Corporal or social. Doling out talkings-to, ISS, OSS, bad grades and repeat courses are a relative joke. I spent uncountable hours in …

I think corporal punishment makes sense when it makes sense. If a kid runs out into the road without looking it makes sense to slap em upside the head, a much milder surrogate for …

As a vegetarian that regularly uses plant-based substitutes: I'm super reluctant to believe a market for a product like Beyond ever existed. Between Beyond and Impossible they've g…

It definitely feels like it is gone. Of course I'm largely talking about the applications that I use, e.g. MS Word which is still using the searchless 1980s character map and has a…

Split brain experiments have been called into question.[0] [0]: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170125093823.h...

I would think the argument for this is that it would enable and facilitate more advanced environments. There's also plenty of games with fully explorable environments, I think it's…

Isn't yield relative? Take a bell pepper for instance, perhaps one grown in x soil another in y, the nutrient contents will vary even if one is clonal. There have been some rumblin…

There isn't presently a good solution to this. I think regulations like that will probably have downstream effects, kicking the can down the road. Google is already bad enough at g…

I didn't read the writeup. The result was pretty gnarly. The active area on a phone left me scrolling up and down and I had to go very slow once I got purchase on the knob or it wo…

That privacy policy is hilarious . Is that how we sibsidize the advertized cost of $1500 down to $200

I think you have a point, at the resolution of personal liability shit is and has been cooked. Without being able to hold people to account for their misdeeds, misdeeds are de fact…

I expect that r.i.c.e. was overfit. Asian imports are called riceburners, ostensibly because asian cultures consume a lot of rice. I guess it could be contrived as racist, but it's…

Toothpaste is not a complicated compound to make. The question is one of optimization. What size (mechanical) or what type of keratin is most suitable, or do we depolymerize (chemi…

Root as in seed [crystal], as in nucleation point is what I would surmise.

Core77 is so broken for me. I can hardly load half an article before it bricks my tab on Firefox for Android. Really disappointing, it was one of my favorite feeds for boredscrolli…

I love this, kinda vindicated my behaviors. I won't run in thunderstorms and I have trouble justifying getting out once the temperature tips above 80. Looking at such a disciplined…

I've played for many years including CS1.6, CS:S, GO, and 2. I regularly snoop profiles and overwhelmingly there are accounts with 1 game, all F2P games, short account lives, low h…

What do you think the consequences of a shake-out like this will be? Asking as a prospective grad student nearing the end of my BS. I've heard locally we're cutting graduate progra…
