It is not so much that every generation has to learn unions are a good thing, it is every few generations has to learn that unions are ALSO a bad thing.
Left unchecked, capitalism leads to worker oppression and mismanagement of natural resources and disruption of the stable governments that provide stability that allowed them to foster in the first place. This many on slashdot know and understand deep in their bones.
Left unchecked, unions cause wages to grow to unsustainable levels. They do not seek balance or fair compensation in negations. They are forces to always get more. This is also unsustainable. Furthermore, unions tend to protect incompetence, since they make no distinction between good employee and bad. Management never has a fair point in the eyes of a union. This is something many on slashdot do not seem to know
The answer, I think like many issues of our day, lies in acknowledging the valid parts of both arguments. We need to get back to listening to each other, and understanding the truths that lie within. This constant demonizing is helping no one.
Again, the sad irony is that YOU need to wake up instead of being so sanctimonious. Most sectors of the economy are doing well. There is widespread growth. Due to lack of innovation, encouragement of the lack of integrity, and horrible social policies the California tech center is falling. It is falling because it is being beaten badly by people across the world who value what you do not. They are looking for innovation more than watch band.
You are so sick in the head, you can't even read articles outside your bubble to see that other sectors are doing well. You can't self diagnose any failings in your bubble, because if you question anything in your world view, you will see what a shamble it is. You are such a terrible Human being that you actively hope for and would gladly help engineer an economic collapse for millions of others, rather than admit that some parts of your ideology is wrong. The tragic thing is, you probably think of yourself as a good person, instead of the foot soldier or ignorance and divisiveness that you are.
If you think Cody is creepy, wait until season 2 when they introduce the new character Leaderboi, who lasciviously stares at things, licks his lips and whispers, "thinner."
Seriously, why is this a thing that keeps showing up on slashdot? There are have been many articles about this, showing that unshockingly it does not work. It is not some profoundly new idea. It is merely welfare, with a new name. While welfare can really help people in the short term, what is found is that people need more than just food, they need purpose. UBI fails at this.
So I have to ask: Given all this, why does it keep coming up on these forums again and again. This seems to be a classic case of the NPC meme, where some just repeat what some influence tells them. No thought is given, just that someone with supposed authority says so. I find that immensely sad on these forums. We are better than this. We are supposed to be source of good ideas, not a parrot repeating stuff.
Your idea of product life warranty also encourages REAL environmentalism. Instead of being an i-poser CEO who claims to be green, but then makes products that are designed to last 2-3 that use horrific CVD processes. Nice idea.
The economy is going well for many sectors. However, Intel is suffering from a combination of silicon valley stagnation, too much overhead, crippling regulative burden etc. For example, Intel was the king of silicon for decades, but the bulk of computing has moved to the mobile market, where they are not a player. They have also missed hurdles on things like 10 nm chips, which has caused companies like Apple considerable embarrassment since they made laptop designs on the assurance that these cooler running chips would be there.
The high taxes and overhead inflicted by California is starting to drag many companies down. It is simply becoming cost prohibitive to do business there. Nice when you are a monopoly I guess, but the world is a big place and competition is a thing. In the real world, there are no participation trophies.
You have a deep sickness inside you that you actually are rooting for hard times for people because you do not like someone's views on tax policy. You might want to take a long look in the mirror and think about if you really want to be the villain that you have become.
You are proud of the fact that you fucked up your state so hard that people are fleeing it in enough numbers to change Texas? I am sure you have all sorts of cherry picked examples how things are great in Ca, but at the end of the day, the numbers don't lie. The high taxes, silly legislation, PC police are making it unlivable. If it was paradise, your numbers would not be falling. I am also looking at you NY
Remind me, what is the word for creatures that take a vibrant coast and consume it from within, then move on to another host....... Oh yeah, parasite. Clean up your own mess and leave other states alone. Please.
I know you mean well. I know you solution of just passing tests seems like it would make sense to many as logical and reasonable. It would to me too if I had spent close to zero hours on the other side of the desk. Certainly not in a k-12 setting. Your idea does have some merits in a perfect world, but as it is we live in a resource limited world.
We do not structure our classes the way we do because they are the most effective for learning. We do it so the most kids can be reached per staffing dollar. Your class format would simply be unteachable. Kids often need help and explanations for each topic. Non-mathy kids (most) struggle with texts. If you personalize lessons to each kid, then you would need an incredible amount of teachers. Maybe as a society if we truly valued education, we could afford this. The bald truth is we do not. So, we don't.
In private schools, they do what really works which is have smaller, homogenous classes of about 10-14. This is good because students really do learn well from talking to each other. You can also read body language and give fast help as needed. This type of intervention is probably closest to what the OP meant.
The seriously bad mistake that has been introduced into the class since you have been in school is the idea of differentiated learning. Some genius had the idea it is more important to make kids feel good instead of actually teaching them at their level. So, math classes are no longer tracked in any meaningful way until late junior high. All kids of all ability levels are in the same room. The teacher is supposed to come up with lessons to reach all students. Which means you have to cater to less strong students. The average students quickly learn to play dumb so they get less work or at least easier stuff. The brighter kids just get bored.
The one year I was in this system, I had honors kids mixed with special ed. It was not effective for anyone. The thing is, the special needs kid could learn math, but you had to go slower and re-explain. If he was with similar ability, then he could have advanced well. Since he was outclassed by most of his peers, he felt like a bother, which made it harder to reach him because he did not want his friends to get impatient. I truly loathe the administrators who came up with this scheme. It was so frustrating.
The best solution is to probably reduce class sizes to levels like private schools. Sadly, I do not foresee this happening. The other factor is that the U.S. spends more per student than any one else. What you might have never heard is that more than a lion's share of that funding goes into administration. So, even if you offer more, it won't go to the kids. If we want change, we need to change the culture of the schools and how they are ran. I am very pessimistic about such a change because there is way to much money being made by way to many. That sort of corruption is hard to conquer.
Ahh, another thread where electrical and computer engineers demonstrate that they have never taken serious thermodynamics and fail to understand the second law. Allow me to TLDR all your questions:
1. Yes, it is a thing
2. https://www.tutorialspoint.com...
3. No, you failed to factor in taxes to your cost.
4. Yes, if we discover fusion power, but only then.
Trump says many things that are not idiotic. You are just brainwashed into reflexively hating him and do not think things through. If you did, you would see the merits of several (not all) of his points. The fact that it took you this long speaks poorly of you as a so called thinking human being. But, congrats on finding something simple enough to grasp.
Its a funny thing about the very liberal people who run these companies. They will verbally support causes, give great interviews, and say they "right" things, but when it comes time to pay a personal cost...crickets.
Google/youtube "I believe in free speech, just so long as you don't disagree with me." Or, "Do no evil" unless it gets in the way of making money in China."
Apple: "Go green! but, design all your computers so they can't be repaired or upgraded, because the chemical processes in chip making are soooo very ecco friendly." or "We support the environment and workers rights, this is why we do all our manufacturing in places where we can abuse both, but you won't see it so that is ok."
Amazon "We believe in equity, just so long as it doesn't effect our bottom line."
One could go on. I just find the utter hypocrisy hilarious.
The elephant in the room is that Mac OS is still the best game in town. MS is still less useable and sells your personal information, as has been documented on slashdot many times. You can argue that Linux is far superior and offers more control, which may be true. However, if you are being honest it has moments of critical incompatibility that makes getting stuff done in the real world problematic.
So, I will give you Tim Apple has been doing whatever he can to mess up the OS and make the once wonderful products less good. But the number one feature on this list is the OS. And that is why we are hoping so much for a non-garbage laptop.
The above post mirrored my sentiments, but i would add in just one thing. Can we get off the thinner fetish and make the machine thick enough where it can cool itself properly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You are missing one key detail there, chief. Food deserts tend to occur in areas of high crime, which is different than poor. There are poor areas with low crime, and they have grocery stores. It turns out if treat others like shit, they don't open stores. weird.
It turns out they were using those old pentium chips with the math co-processor error. It was supposed to be 0.45%!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I am sorry to say, but your arrogance and harshness are the reason why the American education system and society as whole are so screwed up.
The key statement is that your "life" experience in teaching is with graduate students, who have already been selected to be budding Einsteins. So, your assumption would hold true in that case. However, you are not seeing the broader world beyond your own, limited experience.
Now, I am going out on a limb and asserting like so many on these forums, you claim to care deeply about people, but never actually sacrificed the time or income to teach in an inner city school. If you had, you would realize that not everyone is a budding Einstein, and it is actually detrimental to treat them that way.
Some people really are born not as smart, some, are behind due to various life circumstances. In any case, if you treat them like Einstein, they will get material too fast, become humiliated and frustrated. They will quit on you and scholastics in general, since they feel frustrated and ashamed. The key is to feed information at the rate they can handle it, and try to get the student to buy in. If you make progress, it is a good day.
Now, the elephant in the room is that the authors of the study, and I suspect the above poster are simply soft-racists. They fundamentally see race as a factor in all things, and oddly assume various sub-groups have limits. This is why they immediately equated a constant intelligence approach to race. That is a completely separate idea from, do certain races have an intelligent limit. I suspect most of the people in survey felt was the case. Interjecting intelligence and race into the study is simply a dark part of your personality.
For example, there are several explanations for the difference between the two groups. Since they did not break the sample pool into academic discipline, the differences might simply reflect that scientists understand genetics, and understand for ALL things we have fixed ability, that can be improved to some extent by practice. I will never be Mozart, no matter how much a practice. For a myriad of reasons, various minorities underperform in math and science. The reasons of why are debatable, but the fact remains. So, taking the two together, professors who think intelligence is biologically not limitless and have a group underperform are going to show up. Or, it could simply be that well meaning but soft-racist professors simply grade their students higher, to give a helping hand. and that accounts for the difference. I am sure you can come up with others.
Trying to make a real difference, I have taught at high minority colleges and high schools for my life's work. Personally, I have found a great deal success by simply treating people as people.
It turns out students respond honor and earned respect. The soft-racist teaches, who approach life with the assumption that minorities need the playing field leveled, and should be handed things do not fare as well. I have the state scores and college entrance rates to prove this. Just last year, I taught algebra to a class of failing students who had never passed the state exam before. I did not go in thinking I am getting them ready for calculus. I had to get them to believe in themselves by first giving them work they could do, and then continue to fill in the holes that were missing. There was likely not an Einstein in the room, but at the end of the year, they all passed the state exam for the first time. To treat them as brilliant would have come across as patronizing, but they did accept that I made it real and got them to better.
To me, this is not some stupid intellectual exercise for forum masturbation. It is real life with real consequences. Fallacious studies like this and the attitudes of the above poster cause such great harm.
While watching the match, it seemed to me that it was not winning on being human level intelligent or adjusting on the fly. The AI was simply able to not only click on units really quickly, but it was able to switch to different groups faster than a person could. This allowed the computer to effectively be on the entire board all at the same time.
When you think about it, the AI was showing no intelligence. It had ran a statistical analysis, and came up with the notion that if you can click really fast, these units are the best in all situations. It does not adjust to new stuff. Just in effect, runs a script.
You are absolutely right, but each generation always thinks they invited everything for the first time. "NO ONE HAS FELT LOVE LIKE I DO NOW" sorta thing. It's like the changes of the seasons. I take some comfort in it.
Do not forget corporations in your little tirade. Very few have done more than Alphabet to suppress speech or book burn(or its equivalent). Due to technology, no one has been able to censor more people so effetely so fast. With centralization, it could be even more effective at slashing any idea it disagreed with. Just imagine...
