How does that make sense? How does putting a “Download PDF” button on their site with no restrictions make this a “me” problem?

They definitely weren’t monitoring the one at a time rule… I downloaded the file and now have it forever

I was looking for resources for a custom LLM and noticed they had a ton of copyrighted books and wondered to myself how the heck that was legal

I guess this answers that

I would look up your local paper specifically, if you haven’t already. They aren’t always going to show up in search results.

My local paper often does a brief “meet the candidates” piece for the city council, so you may find the same. Although they won’t have everything all the time

Just checked this site out and it looks pretty superb on the surface. Each candidate has links to the sites and social media, their experiences and stances are aggregated there and there’s an option to contribute more information.

The true test will be to see how it handles extremely local candidates like the school board, which I struggled to find information on in the last election.

I feel like you’re weirdly aggro about this discussion. I don’t want my message to come off as criticism or hate, I’m trying to express that I’m concerned about another person. If she really is happier because of her path, then that’s great and more kids should attempt this lifestyle. But I just don’t have enough evidence for that fact, and I would like to hear more. Most of the positive evidence is from a short article.

Right now I have more anecdotal evidence saying this is unhealthy in this comment section than I do the contrary, so I want to be proven wrong. I don’t want to be correct that someone had a bad experience.

Your other questions are answered in the article.

They really aren’t. Of course she’ll say she’s thankful, most people would when talking to a reporter. I don’t imagine many 17 year olds would immediately start bad-mouthing their parents right away, especially considering I’d expect the parents to be present in the interview process since she’s a minor by U.S. standards.

And of course the instructors are complimentary, you’d hear the same compliments about any student who asked questions and went to office hours. They aren’t particularly unique for her experience, frankly. I wouldn’t put too much weight on them being evidence of her happiness.

Perhaps down the road she’ll give an interview and talk about her experience more, once she’s more independent and had more time to process and reflect. Then perhaps my questions will be properly answered. I can only hope so, and I can only hope she reflects positively.

A kid who blew it all on Minecraft missed out on a lot as well if we’re going to be honest.

I never said anything to the contrary. Both can be true, they aren’t mutually exclusive. I would agree spending too much time glued to a screen is also not a healthy lifestyle for a child

We don’t know, and that’s precisely what my comment was talking about. I want to know more.

Although we can use an educated guess that if you’re getting a doctorate you probably don’t have a ton of free time, at least not nearly as much as a normal student her age has. Even if we assume she doesn’t need to study at all, a doctorate still takes up a lot of someone’s time, and doesn’t leave a ton of time for watching cartoons.

I would imagine its a case of mutually assured destruction. Neither wants to repeal it because they know once they do, they open up Pandora’s box and Congress will be even more of a disaster than it currently is

Less nice, more realizing that would remove their ability to stop the Republicans when the political winds inevitability shift the other way

Excellent point on the peers, I was thinking about that as well.

Humans love to talk to other humans who have shared experiences. People get excited when they find someone who went to the same school as them, even if they were years apart. Those shared experiences help us bond and connect with others.

Who in the world can she bond with? Few people have experienced anything close to what she has. I worry that it will lead to somewhat of a lonely existence, at least until she’s old enough that she has some more experiences under her belt and can begin to relate to others more. Until then, the experience that 95% of Americans share is missing.

I’m hoping it’s something that will balance out as she gets older, but I don’t see it being a fun time for the first decade at least.

I’m really torn on news like this.

I’ll get it out of the way that I am jealous. I wish I had been able to do what she did. I also think that if more people cared about education on this level, we could really get a significantly smarter population and start to solve some of the problems in the world.

Having said that, I have concerns over what her life is like. I would need a lot more details to feel comfortable that this kind of lifestyle is healthy for someone. She missed out on most of her childhood at this point, a time most adults look back on fondly as a time when they had no responsibilities. I have so many follow-up questions that the article doesn’t address.

• Is she truly self-motivated or does she have someone like her parents urging her to do this?
• Given a choice, would she do it again?
• What was her workload like? Was she constantly studying or is she lucky enough to not need to?

Also, more for my curiosity than anyone else’s well-being:

• How do you even sign a 10 year old up for college?
• Do professors give leniency to an 11 year old in class or are they getting the same experience an 18 year old would get?

Because they are word roots. “trans-” means on the other side of something like “transatlantic” while “cis-” means on the same side like cisatlantic.

If I had to come up with a reason for it out of my ass, I’d say it’s because being rejected from a tribe would be a death sentence for most, so those that remembered their mistakes were less likely to repeat them and be expelled.

A change was made in 16.1.0 to allow users to reset their password through a secondary email address. The vulnerability is a result of a bug in the email verification process. The bug has been fixed with this patch, and as mentioned above, we have implemented a number of preventive security measures to protect customers.

Struggling to figure out what the heck they did. Some kind of injection attack to send the email to an arbitrary account? How would you even mess that up in the first place

This reminds me of a question I have about the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal. Obviously, he was in a position of power and shouldn’t have had relations with an intern. But it does beg the question: can any American citizen fully consent to relationships with the active president?

The issue is power and influence, but even the president’s wife is subject to a certain level of his presidential authority. So where’s the line? When is it “okay” in the eyes of the power dynamic.

Most people are probably reasonable enough to say that his wife, of course, can consent. But it still does make me ponder, and there’s an invisible line in the sand somewhere for most people

Yes, I use the key. For touch typing you should be using it whenever a letter pressed by your left hand needs capitalization.

Not on purpose, that I’m aware of. But I have experienced what you’re describing, I think
