I would flag your comment if I had the authority. This is not acceptable language for this forum.

Surely there’s more to life for the top 1% of learners than trying to get retribution against public institutions. One might ask if you’re really as brilliant as you say if you can’t see that - or maybe you were just early as a child, and that’s all.
Why are you so focused on the NYC high-end high school segment? It is utterly unrelatable to 95% of all students and conservatively 85% of users here.

Being surrounded by adults all the time is only a problem if you never spend time around actual peers. Nobody should be forced to isolate themselves like that.

Yes. It is a brutal existence. Social isolation can continue long past when you would expect it to end, after graduation from high school or college, because of the exploitive behaviors of employers and the self-exploitive nature of someone who only finds solace in work.

What is the solution? I will not spoil it for you, but it does not involve giving up.

Cool how you use the acronym RCD and don’t expand it anywhere. Or any of the other homelab acronyms you used!

> Don't forget the AC terminal strips that power the whole thing, sourced from the local dollar store.

Love how you’ve fuzzed the root cause to make it seem like the “dollar store strip” is the problem and not that it was plugged into an overloaded outlet or run inside a closet at significantly elevated temperatures, leading to plastic melting and wires shorting.

Always helps to keep the “magic” a secret so the rubes have to keep us wizards employed, right?

But it’s so easy to portray doctors as money-hungry child predators! After all, doesn’t Beautiful Perfect American Capitalism encourage individuals to participate in the market, if not live their lives, as ruthless profit-seekers?

Aren’t politically and socially conservative, evangelical-proximal, moderately wealthy Tucker-Carlson-consuming Americans constantly re-trained into that frame of mind?

Is it so surprising that people see what they want to see, or expect to see, or have been taught to see, in everything around them?

The blockers themselves are reversible. The treatments that may follow are not necessarily reversible.

Do you really expect to simply point at a single-author paper that came out last week to “win” this discussion? Why the hour-old account focused purely on promoting trans hate?

“Many people” being substantially in the minority, like 1-5% of an already microscopic population. Non-surgical puberty blockers are completely reversible and do not sterilize. Please don’t spread irrelevant, hateful flamewar bait and FUD in random threads as a way to Cunningham yourself out of ignorance.

You can easily break Stern-Gerlach by spreading the “measurements” super far apart, so far that interactions with other matter destroys the effects of the first measurements.

It’s incredibly easy to lose coherence in other quantum experiments as well.

This is not a good-faith comment. This is incredibly dismissive without providing any supporting information. Do better.

It’s exactly what happens when someone who’s experienced the “biweekly paycheck lifestyle” hits it big on a non-salaried income source and expects the music to keep going forever.

YouTube videos that hit ~1M views famously rarely keep up the pace beyond a week or a month. Hard to find data, but what I’ve heard is that after a year or two, looking back, most popular videos get 75-85% of their views in their first month after release.

Unless you have a contract to be regularly paid $X, or constantly put out new and engaging content, you really can’t get mad when your income peaks and then nosedives.

Why even write C++ at that point? Wouldn’t changing over to Rust save you at least a couple of those steps?

you can use no_std when available.

not sure how dynamic linking would help when your boards don’t have enough (flash ?) space… the linked library still needs to go somewhere? how small of a flash medium are you using?

This is such an out-of-date take. Plastic e-ink displays have been around for more than 5 years.
And developer Alex Pertsev has been arrested in the Netherlands for his open-source contributions to the project.
And AML wastes tens of billions of good dollars in GDP and revenue per year through added monitoring costs, insurance, enforcement expenses, etc. If AML were 90% effective, it’d be supported; but it’s more like 0.1% effective.
This is literally wrong. The first amendment is as much a law or statute or provision as any other law or component of the Constitution.
