Sanders Warns 'Absurd' Low Pay of Teachers Fueling Public Education Crisis
  • Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

    • those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
    • those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

    The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there's way too much of the second group. We're definitely getting what we pay for here.

  • Get scattered
  • Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.

  • Get scattered
  • Well that's a fairly consistent pov. "God of the Gaps" is what it's called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it's probably not one of the worst ways to think

  • Hero
  • These are just people skills. Of course you're gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.

    And it's not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.

    A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren't above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.

  • Should I register my car in Missouri?

    Last week I bought a used car. I got a title. I moved to Missouri in January, and I'll be moving back out of Missouri in a month. I have insurance on it. I've been looking at the papers I still need online, and at reviews of the different office I need to go to. Apparently, I need info from the assessors office to show that I'm exempt from property tax on the vehicle or to pay it.

    It's gonna be an hours drive to get to the office. They dont have accurate info online on hours open, they don't answer the phone, and the voicemail says that they hope to open again on April 4th. It's April 15th. I figure it's gonna be another drive to get to DMV offices, and reviews on both offices show that there's 2 hours waits, and extremely unpredictable closing times. So I'm looking at having to take at least a day off of work, maybe more.

    I make like $300 on a good day. The max fines for late registration look like $200, and for the traffic violation it's $50.50, if I understand right from my Google search. If I were able to even get a hold of somebody at either office during business hours, I'd go ahead and register. Honestly though, I'm struggling to justify the opportunity cost. I could get caught and fined twice in a traffic stop before it would be worth doing it.

    Am I missing something? Is it financially worth registering my car? What if I just register when I move, in the new state?

    Is it possible to license one's online posts?
  • It sorta depends on what you hope to achieve. It wouldn't be profitable to rely on the licensing in hopes of getting money from news companies or publishers, since you're unlikely to have unique, viral info.

    As far as training material for ai, it's really not worth it. Legal precedent isn't established enough. They scrape fully copyrighted books and news sites, and we don't even know if those lawsuits are going anywhere. Other legal precedent for scraping for use in any data analysis or academic use, or even for commercial data analysis, pretty much allows us to scrape anything that's public-facing.

    Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck?
  • It's actually my main travel computer. I bring it to work with a Bluetooth keyboard and a little nreal glasses display if I need it. I find that the form factor reduces back and neck strain by allowing me to use different muscle groups. I changed the desktopofe controls to map to a bunch of keyboard shortcuts to make it so that I rarely need the keyboard. I mostly do coding and research on it.

    At home, I continue my work on my hammock.

  • Cars are rewiring our brains to ignore all the bad stuff about driving
  • What? First of all, Amtrak is often more comparable to air travel as far as alternatives go.
    Second, those Amtrak delays are genuinely upwards of 5 hours. I had a trip leaving at 9 pm, and they had me waiting at that seedy train stop until 1am.
    Not their fault though, it was Union Pacific's fault.
