By the end of the meeting you have 10 more questions and no answers and more meetings to discuss the new questions

I think you're misunderstanding what I mean. Early Access is a newer term for getting paid access to a game early. Open beta is an older term but was used for free access to a game early for testing purposes. They used to have different meanings which is why early access was created as a new term to distinguish it from a beta. Calling paid early access a beta is intentionally misleading.

It's basically a book you can talk to. A book can contain incredibly knowledge, but it's a preserve artifact of intelligence, not intelligence.

I fully support kicking kids off their phones in class, I don't think any lesson no matter how engaging can compete with that. I'm not supposed to be on my phone during meetings, I think it's perfectly reasonable to ban phones from class. I was just commenting that work can be done to make lessons more engaging when phones aren't involved. There's of course a limit to what you can do, and some subjects are just inherently harder to get kids into, like statistics. But seriously good on you for doing that. I'm sure that while it didn't have perfect engagement, it was far better than just teaching it to the book.

Just curious, is there a place you can share that lesson plan to other teachers? It'd be a shame for all that work you did to not get to be used in other classrooms as well.

The benefit is that you could have a distributed marketplace. Instead of having monopolies like steam where one company accumulates a bunch of power they can abuse you could have multiple small companies band together to support a common standard of ownership so you could buy from any company and all the companies supporting the standard would respect it. You could also tie it to a legal contract so it's actually enforceable.

Of course you could just do that with an centralized standard that's backed by multiple companies too.

I'll add that to my mountain of reasons for using typescript

And it's also very common to leave them in, especially in eastern cuisine.

Useful idiots. Anyone thinking defending Russia is defending communism is a moron. Russia isn't a Communist state, it's a fascist state.

"Heineken? Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

Said it once. Never again.

I think it will get better. The onboarding problem is very solvable and as instances adapt to the load they will get more stable. On the protocol level if they add account linking I think we'll be golden.
