The point of the parent comment was to discuss advocacy for a alternative and your comment essentially is replying well this is how it is currently so nothing can be done.
> It’s quite the opposite, because they’ve been trained in a particular way. They’re being trained to memorize this textbook, respond to this exam. They can’t think outside of the box.
Blanket statement citation required? Despite the fact that Korea / Japan with similarly rigid education systems produce innovators?
> Give me 10 innovative, creative, young physics graduates over 50,000 physics graduates who all are able to pass the exam with 100% efficiency any day.
Lets define an arbitrary boundary where the definition can change to support any conclusion and then derive a desired conclusion.

A screenshot would be greatly apprecoated, thanks.
It’s not as if devs go around with a visible scarlet letter for any malfeasance they get into. Nor is it reasonable brand people permanently.
> Why the hell can't I be free to move freely to a place where other people accept me? Why is it that a parasitic entity (the state) has to say whether they allow me in or not?
Because when a community decides to provides services to a people it must now have standards to decide who to provide services too. There are only 2 possible ways to solve this.
1: provide services to everyone. naturally this doesn't work.
2: provide services to nobody.
> Governments, or states, are responsible for most of the destructive behavior we see in human history.
This is a consequence of the state's monopoly on violence. By joining a society you voluntarily give up power to the government in exchange for services and protections.
Wars occur as a consequence of this exchange of power when states look out for their own interests, which include the interests of its people.
> Society has never been so peaceful as today.
Because the state has a monopoly on violence and has gotten more effective at enforcing that monopoly?
> Most private entities (companies or the third sector) do good for the people and benefit nothing from the misery caused by state actors and their wars.
I'm not sure if you are aware of the other functions that states provide but some of the functions you may find beneficial are ways to resolve conflict without violence, protections to people, and a standard of living. These are again, enforced with violence. Seeing as you moved from Brazil to the Netherlands I'm sure you are aware of the benefits you are granted.
In which countries are there as many guns available to the public?
> In which country would such people move forward with weapons drawn, shouting commands, and making things worse?
Is this not what you would expect to happen in a so-called armed conflict? The situation was successfully de-escalated.
1. Someone calls 911 reporting an armed conflict reporting an active shooter situation.
2. Police respond, sending a SWAT team.
3a. Tense situation was resolved, unfortunately resulting in a heart attack.
3b. Suppose there was an actual gunman. The fast response would have saved lives.
You're sitting at home knowing post event debating the situation knowing the actual events that are taking place. The police only know 1 version of the events, which they hope are in good faith. In order to argue that the police's response was disproportionate, you would have have to known beforehand the report was bogus. But this is impossible, so the police must bring enough force to deal with a legitimate call.
The trade off here is due diligence versus response time. In the fast majority of cases, people don't abuse 911, so the polices' fast reactions are beneficial. You have to leave it up to society to minimize these types of edge cases.
Benzinga / Motley Fool / Seeking Alpha / Business Wire / Forbes aren't places to find worthwhile information.
Most other brokers WILL NOT allow this. When I applied for options Schwab had a broker call me and make sure I knew about all the risks involved for the level I applied for.
RH was also down a couple times in March, which lost me a good amount of money. A week is a VERY long time if you're playing short-term options. There's also other issues where they were holding customer shares in margin when they had cash to cover, and when they've allowed customers to leverage 5k -> 1M of positions (a huge nono).
The conclusion here is that RH is a toy broker following the mantra of move fast and breaks things. Good if you're casually investing, but for options and serious investing with real amounts of cash it's worth getting a broker that is serious at providing reliable service.
Someone will always have to foot the bill, and telegram has been doing so for free for the last 8 years.
But since now Paypal requires your name, DOB, SSN, banking info, to simply transfer money out, the money is stuck.
I can't use the money to pay for things, because they require you to link banking info DESPITE the fact that I have cash balance. So basically, I had cash that I couldn't take out or use.
Now finally, they are figuring out how to steal that money.
Meta-learning: one must learn how to most effectively learn before they can effectively read.
1. Learning is a combination of recall and understanding. One must have the ideas in their mind before they can process them and put pieces together. Use mental models to effectively partition articles and integrate bits of information.
Effective reading: using active learning processes results in enhanced information processing.
1. Know why you're reading.
2. Actively reading is a combination of adding information to existing knowledge branches and picking information which is relevant to you.
3. Approaches to do this: mind mapping, [question, evidence, reflection] -> asking questions about the stuff you're reading and answering them.
4. Remember through active recall/repetition.
It's a decent guide but quite verbose. Most readers are better off learning how to speed read and use memory palaces. Effective reading is built off those 2 pieces.
Consider the paper's abstract: "We introduce TLDR generation, a new form of extreme summarization, for scientific papers. TLDR generation involves high source compression and requires expert background knowledge and understanding of complex domain-specific language. To facilitate study on this task, we introduce SciTLDR, a new multi-target dataset of 5.4K TLDRs over 3.2K papers. SciTLDR contains both author-written and expert-derived TLDRs, where the latter are collected using a novel annotation protocol that produces high-quality summaries while minimizing annotation burden. We propose CATTS, a simple yet effective learning strategy for generating TLDRs that exploits titles as an auxiliary training signal. CATTS improves upon strong baselines under both automated metrics and human evaluations. Data and code are publicly available at this https URL."
The algorithm summarizes it as:
“We introduce TLDR generation, a new form of extreme summarization, for scientific papers that produces high-quality summaries while minimizing annotation burden.”

I guess we can't buy used or salvaged cars either now. Can't have manufacturers' reputations tarnished. What a load of crock.
Having it enforced by Google actually makes it easier to get funding by organizations since now administrators can’t simply just tell their devs to ignore standard.
