>condemning a 4-year-old to mostly interact with other 4-year-olds is appalling. other 4-year-olds are ignorant, impulsive, insensitive, and often cruel
I don't understand your point. Other 4 year olds are ignorant/impulsive/insensitive but not yours?
>everyone deserves the ability to ground themselves in the adult world
As a children I had zero interest in doing that. There may be children way different than I was, but I think speech, ability to express emotion, self-worth, etc are way more important for this than (very) early reading skills.
>deliberately keeping a child ignorant is detestable
Come on, nobody talks about raising an analphabete children. The topic was about (not) speeding up the learning process extremely, and (not) leting kids learn this skill at a more usual pace.
> Other 4 year olds are ignorant/impulsive/insensitive but not yours
no, all 4-year-olds are. it's a major reason adults discriminate against them. but it becomes much worse when it's not just you but everyone around you
> leting kids learn this skill at a more usual pace.
for almost all of human history, the usual pace left adults unable to read without moving their lips, or at all. either the pace you're used to is suboptimal, or that one was, but more likely both. to know which direction is better, you have to listen to people whose experiences diverge significantly from what is usual. there are lots of us here in this thread, and we're unanimously telling you that what is usual is below what is optimal. so far below, i'd say, that you could reasonably call it institutionalized child abuse
I remember in 2nd grade I was sent to the principals office and was then, for whatever reason left alone. to sit there for about 2 or 3 hours. I quickly got bored and discovered a box of American history books under the chair I was told to sit in.
The books were completely uncensored early American history, I am still not sure what the heck they were doing in an elementary school. When I say uncensored, it was raw brutal rape and pillage history.
At the time I read around a high school level, about a year later I'd be tested at college level.
I spent the next 2 or 3 hours engrossed in a text about the founding of America. It was one of those foundational experiences for me, and it was only possible because of I was reading far above my grade level.
(Fwiw I learned to read playing final fantasy on the NES and going through the strategy guide well over a hundred times! No Anki needed!)
This actually sound very reasonable. About the only time people can agree is when there's a danger. Nothing unites people more than a common enemy (or, in this case, a phenomena).
But I think GPs point was that if it starts getting colder we go back to carelessly pumping CO2 into atmosphere, but for now we should go with the mainstream science and keep on reducing that.
Maybe in the movies, sure. The majority of the population is already carelessly pumping CO2 into the atmosphere even when most agree emissions should be reduced.
Also depending on the cryptosystem, nonce requirements vary wildly. For example using 1, 2, 3, 4... as a nonce for CTR is a recipe for disaster, but it's fine for many asymmetric ciphers.
>A bunch of kids tragically died last month in baja doing this trip but with cell phones. Mexico is not the same as back in the 70s whatever some boneheaded people on this form may say about risks.
Didn't kids also die in Mexico in 70s? You just didn't hear about it this much.
>Even if we stipulate a quite manageable 100 requests per second,
Depends on the situation, but 100 requests/seconds sound like a lot to me (depending on how heavy the processing is, of course). And every page visit generates 8 requests, so that's "just" 12 people visiting per second.
>I bet you can reason 1+3x=22 pretty easily without any words whatsoever
I've tried to do it, but I can't. I had to do something like "ok, so we subtract one from both sides and then it's easy, 3*7=21". Maybe I could do 2+8 but I still think the word ten "aloud".
I was able to do it with no words. I 'saw' the steps as if on a piece of paper. I saw 3x=22-1=21, then x=21/3=7. But I have a degree in applied math. Perhaps not internally vocalizing is just being extremely familiar. It also happened very quickly, perhaps there was no time to vocalize anyways.
To be fair, math is a language in itself... with many dialects come to tcreditors.
At the end of the day though, thought requires communication, even if internal. Even physics is modelled as some sort of 'message passing' when we try to unravel what causality really is. Similar to how a processor has cycles, I think/know similar (but unsynced) happens as part of what we call 'thinking'.
I assume you're being downvoted for a bitcoin reference? It's interesting to know that you can rent the telescope for a meager ~70k usd. Maybe if I was a billionaire :).
I also have no idea. Your post seems very informative to me - I originally assumed everything is online without checking. This is extremely surprising to me and even a bit out of character for Mozilla. And I can't even find information where is the kickoff happening! I assume it's in California because obviously, but this whole thing could be communicated better.
Yes, but your response doesn't make sense in context. GP specifically said that there are a lot of uses "for an iCloud locked iPhone", parent debunked it.
