“needs to be a balance” this is exactly the problem right. There is zero balance, to the extent that even projects that set out to be operated for the benefit of humanity (open AI, looking at you) get converted to just enrich the already ludicrously wealthy. The corporation is a lever to concentrate wealth. Really important projects being closely controlled by billionaires is the natural consequence of this. Their unfettered power puts us all at risk from their capriciousness.

Yup

Homeschooling: A comprehensive survey of the research, Robert Kunzman, Milton Gaither Other Education-the journal of educational alternatives 2 (1), 4-59, 2013

"A final consistent finding in the literature on academic achievement is that parental background matters very much in homeschooler achievement. Belfield (2005) found greater variance in SAT scores by family background among homeschoolers than among institutionally-schooled students. Boulter’s (1999) longitudinal sample of 110 students whose parents averaged only 13 years of education found a consistent pattern of gradual decline in achievement scores the longer a child remained homeschooled, a result she attributed to the relatively low levels of parent education in her sample. Medlin’s (1994) study of 36 homeschoolers found a significant relationship between mother’s educational level and child’s achievement score. Kunzman’s (2009a) qualitative study of several Christian homeschooling families found dramatic differences in instructional quality correlated with parent educational background. "

Absolutely. The othering is a symptom of this tribal politics-as-team-sport too. “They are bad because they are tanky/neolib/whatever”. Leads to lazy argument. Sure there are people who are dogmatic and rude, who you’ll probably end up blocking, but if we all gave each other a bit of grace the quality of discourse would surely improve.

I mean some fraction of that market is for sure addicted, which possibly stretches the definition of “like”.

This week too. How long do we have to watch the ball going through his hands 😭

Flamekebab! Gorkamorka on lemmy! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised there’s crossover but pleased to see these fellas again anyhow 😂

Moot thankfully…

“it’s in the public interest” so all these articles will be freely available to the public. Right?.. Riiight?!

Your painting is gorgeous but I can’t help but mourn the loss of character from older death company kits.

Welcome welcome. And congrats on getting your mojo back this year.

Yeah, compare Jonesy to Zadarius Smith…

Could at least have chosen something halal/kosher.

Happy for the guy, but gotta hope marshawn Lloyd beats him out. Wilson’s upside kinda capped isn’t it?

Little did I know!

My kid screams “un-let go” at me while balancing perfectly well. She understands, she does not accept.

They’re called rollers, and they’re pretty easy to ride on.

For almost the first year I lived there I paid rent in person by cheque to a management company office. It was a midtown manhatten apartment in a nice ish building less than a decade ago. They also forgot to cash the bankers draft I had written up for my deposit (five fucking figures that they just didn’t notice for years). Real Estate has a surprising number of absolute clowns still for some reason. I guess because it’s been easy money for asset owners so they chaff wasn’t being squeezed out.

Perfect example! Quarks taking their name from finnegans wake! Sure, science is more than poetry, but the poetry of it is pretty important to scientific culture (and therefore to making progress).

How about if you spend more time being an ass to people online than doing good?

Exchanges exist and advertise their services in every asset class. Do you think the whole financial system is a sham? If so I have some decentralised fungible tokens you might like.
