Better yet, drop out of the shitty public school system. No matter how "bright" you are, you're still going to find that your time is being wasted taking useless classes and (if you care to) doing useless busywork. Seriously, if you're so "bright," then your parents should just take you out of the abysmal 'education' system.
Homeschooling is not cheap. Not only do you need to purchase some very expensive books, but you can't have a two person income, and many children have one parent. You can't just take your kid out of school and leave them at the library all day.
With that said, giving applicants simple tests and tasks is a very simple way to weed out 90% of the trash
You just had 10,000 applications for a job position. Filtering on a degree reduces that pool to 1,000. The enemy of good is perfect, and no one has time to go through all of the applicants, so you reduce that list as easily as possible and take the risk that you may have lose a few great applicants, but you probably would have never found them with all of that noise.
You seem to under-estimate the number of people who apply for positions. It's a DDOS and you need to best filter out the noise and a degree is the single easiest and most effective way to do so.
By your definition, anybody who isn't an anarchist is a socialist.
Yeah, pretty much, but it seems to cover the argument people are using. Any time someone brings up something that is good for society but doesn't let an individual screw everyone else over, they claim it's socialism. Pretty much to counter their extreme use of socialism to be anything-good-for-society, I just use "socialism" strictly based on the base word. Essentially, I just take the stance that if you don't like socialism, then leave society.
When it comes down to it, all societies really are just variations of socialism, even by definition. It's not "black and white", it's a huge range of grey. "Socialism is a social and economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy". Directly or indirectly, just participating in a society makes this statement true.
I will agree that my usage of the word nearly makes it useless. Kind of like using the word "ice" when I should be using "snow", but really, snow is just a form of ice, so it's still true.
True, and don't forget, there are still a fair number of affordable schools across the country if one is willing to relocate for it. Not every university in the USA costs $20,000 a year. And I'd imagine that in other countries where higher education is much cheaper or "free" that this whole argument of return on investment is silly.
Exactly. Many of the best Universities are also the cheapest. $16,000 will get you a 4-year degree in many Universities in my state and they're also some of the best in the world. Mind you, out of state students will be paying about $20,000 for our education, but it really isn't that hard to become a state citizen. Live here for 6 months, get a job, and register an address in the state as your primary.
We charge so much to "outsiders" because our education is so highly desired. We get lots of students from other countries, like South Korea, Japan, China, and India. Their parents are willing to pay premium, which helps keep the prices low for in-state students. A lot of these students drive around in brand-new Audis and BMWs. Their parents have money and are willing to pay.
People strait-up lie about experience and background. Doing a simple filter like looking for applicants have a degree from a well accredited school is a very simple way to weed out 90% of the trash. A degree is mostly a way to get your name past the noise created by liars and cheaters.
Which part of the US Constitution mandates education?
None. The constitution practically forbids socialism of any kind as it is written.
Really? What do you think the military is? What do you think our judicial system is? What do you think a government is? All of these examples are "socialism". All societies are a form of socialism.
At my work, we've had a great experience with even freshmen from the local Uni. The Uni already does a great job filtering out the baddies. They're not all great programmers, but they've all had good potential and many just have slightly different interests, but are otherwise intelligent people.
I've only experienced two types of public research
1) Given away for free, no patents being used to hinder
2) Patent and charge money, but that money goes back into the educational system that created them and paid for over 90% of my state uni tuition. Out of State $30k/sem, in-state $2k/sem.
For over 30 years, my state unis have been very cheap for in-state citizens because of patents. Our state owns a lot of stem cell, pharma, bio-tech, and integrated circuit patents. Most of the money made from those patents get pumped back into the higher educational system and dramatically lower the price. We're also highly coveted because of high quality graduates. We've got freshmen getting contacted via phone by the likes of Intel, AMD, Microsoft, and Google, asking them what they plan on doing after they graduate.
We also have a large amount of research that is state funded or alumni funded that gets released for free for the greater good of the general public.
Network interfaces work on bits and HDs work on bytes. Network devices do not require alignment but HDs do. Network devices do not require an address space, HDs do. Because of this, HDs need to work with powers of two and network devices do not. Imagine if your L1/2/3 cache was in base 10. You can't because it's impossible with binary, or you can because you don't understand how they work.
Because one device works on bits and the other requires working on bytes and uses an address space, one is base 10 and the other is base 2.
Funny how when I questioned that last time the "proof" was a bit of XFree86 code from the 1990s cut and pasted into Wayland by someone other than the author of that earlier code. After that was seen through - silence.
Several of the current Wayland lead devs have been working on X for 15-20 years. But I guess they just "copy and pasted" some code.
This is only temporary, IBM already demonstrated production ready integrated circuits that could be built directly into a CPU/Chipset/etc, that could handle 1tb/s-2tb/s with a 2km range. The process is also so cheap, they expect it to be integrated into low-end cell-phones and disposable electronics. It's really more like a 2tb/s fiber data bus with a 2km range. They actually claim that this new tech is cheaper than using copper traces, once you get past retooling your factory.
Measles alone has a 0.3% death rate. If there was a break out and it spread to 100mil people, it would be more like 300k died from it. Not including all the damage it causes to those to survive.
I got another argument for you. 0 people have died in the past year to being in a vacuum, so being in a vacuum must not be dangerous, so lets get rid of this pesky atmosphere.
that would mean demanding vaccination records for all kids in public schools
We got that around here. Want to go to public school? You must show your vaccination records. Don't want to send your kids to public school? You'd better be using an approved home school system or sending them to private, because you'll get fined or have your children taken from you if you don't educate them. We won't tell you how to educate your children, you just need to have proof that you've been using some form of acceptable education.
The physical channels can also be tweaked for range instead of bandwidth. You can reduce the physical channel from 500gb to some slower speed, like 250gb/s and nearly double your range. These PICs have a 700km range with no signal regeneration, and over 1100km if you reduce the logical bandwidth of the physical channel. This has been testing in the real world. Stockholm to Frankfurt with no repeaters and can handle 8tb+, which can all be provisioned in less than 1 hour.
The difference is this is using WDMD and can carve up that 8.8Tb/s into any combination of channels between 10Gb/s and 500Gb/s. Want 880 10Gb virtual channels? Sure! Want 17 500Gb/s channels? Sure! Mix and match, and you don't need to take down any channels to add new ones. It also uses about 10x-100x less power. Behold, the power of Photon Integrated Circuits(PICs)
Can be fixed without replacing X, and is a minor issue anyway.
You lie or are ignorant. Several of the lead devs of X have stated that tearing in X cannot be fixed without completely breaking the protocol. They've been trying to fix this issue since '95. Your basic understanding of this simple concept makes everything you say questionable.
If you're trying to sell a device that appeals to 80% of people, you best make it look pretty, otherwise they're just going to use iOS. Anyway, your argument is no different than me saying fun and games are all pointless, people should spend their entire life working, then immediately die when they are no longer useful. Life isn't just about getting work done, it's also about the pretty and fun.
Wayland is magnitudes faster. Wayland's protocol just tells the compositor where a memory buffer is and what to do with it, unlike X, which has to sends thousands of draw primitives. It's like comparing Java to C and claiming they're the same because they both use an equal sign for assignment.
Wayland is a simple abstract layer. You can make your own remote protocol and have receive your draw commands and render it locally. One can fully implement X in Wayland, but one cannot implement Wayland in X. Therefore, Wayland is better. If you need X like functionality, someone could easily create a wrapper, which they already have for X.
Synonymous terms. X devs are the ones making Wayland. I find it funny and kind of sad that so many people think X is somehow better when it's made by the same people. If those people don't like Wayland, they are free to fork X and maintain it themselves. From what I hear, it is an absolute mess because if has so many conflicting features.

The average person can't self educate and have a hard time with regular education. Most people can't do anything more than they're told.

I've been lucky in that most of my projects, I have been given plenty of time to design. Adding features is easy when you have a good design.

On the other head, nonvaccinated people pose a real mortal threat and I should be able to defend myself and my family against them.
Vaccines are not 100%, herd immunity is the only reason they work at all. They work enough of the time for herd immunity to take care of the rest.
Measles alone has a 0.3% death rate. If there was a break out and it spread to 100mil people, it would be more like 300k died from it. Not including all the damage it causes to those to survive.

That's right, they're my children and I can beat them however I want!
Great logic. Not vaccinating your children is pretty much child abuse, unless they have a family history of issues or something similar.
