About Elm: "I like everything about it - compiler error messages, type system soundness, The Elm Architecture, pure functions, immutability, performance, etc." <3
Out of curiosity "This was not expected to occur that early on in the solar system, and it means we need to change some of the ways we think about that time." Why did the rock have to come from a volcano within our solar system. With the age of the rock, couldn't it have came from out of our solar system?
I wonder what happens to society in a theoretical scenario where the foundation of why we build societies change. I understand this is way over simplifying it, but one of the basic premises of building a society is to control a finite resource. [We are going to control this water, this farmable land, oil field, etc.] I wonder what would happen to society if we were able to make more and more of the universe useable, if 3d printing became so efficient we were able to make our own goods, or other scenarios that would make it so we no longer needed to rely on a society in a classic sense to accumulate a "limited" resource. Would it fundamentally change how we govern ourselves or would we just change what metrics we use to define the rich/not rich?
The Windup Girl is pretty new and is good as well. Although it touches on more environmental/corporate standpoints, but they all relate to each other anyways.
There is a push in California right now to clean up the whole distinction between a contract worker and an employee. This is geared toward the California legislature as much as it is other competition.
So does that mean during a collision between blackholes mass actually does/can escape a blackhole? I thought mass couldn't escape, at least not in any observable way that we can detect. [I don't know a ton about astrophysics, so apologies if this question doesn't make sense].
Couldn't this lead to unneeded waste? Let's say of that $500 30 day, I only needed $400.00 of it to cover my needs. I'm left with either the choice of paying essentially a "tax" to convert it to a longer period or spend on products I don't need. We already have a lot of consumer waste that, in part, has led to major environmental issues. I worry a policy like this could exasperate the issue.
This. It also showed that mortality rate has been roughly halved since the 90s, but I wonder if that halving has been evenly split around the world, or if it is disproportionate to certain localities. [I'd assume the latter]
I agree with this whole-heartedly. I've moved over to the tech industry now, but was pretty focused on community college education for a while. If it's fine with you, I'm going to grab your email from another thread and send you an email about connecting.
I get the idea that with so many admissions we need some way to "standardize" admissions, but the way we do it is pretty archaic, and definitely doesn't work for a host of different students. Has anyone seen any interesting concepts or ideas around dropping standardized testing in general for something else?
Yeah of course. Are you guys mainly focused on classic 4 year universities or do you have your sights on/have you worked with community college and trade schools as well?
