rusabd··on Sony develops energy harvesting module from electromagnetic wave noise
could be very useful in-doors where solar is not possible and wiring is not practical. A lot of sensors do not have to be on all the time - occasional reading is more than enough.

Targeting seems little bit off here, happy to be wrong

rusabd··on The rise of crypto laundries: how criminals cash out of Bitcoin
So you are saying that before money laundering laws those criminals took over the government. It is almost like said criminals just don't want any competition now

This is ironic that this story is posted by @lermontov who is actually one the greatest Russian poets. She is not.
rusabd··on Student passes 3 classes in 4 years, ranks near top half of class with 0.13 GPA
Intelligent people correct their actions when they see the results. It is fair to say that there is enough information about "unintended" results by now.
rusabd··on Student passes 3 classes in 4 years, ranks near top half of class with 0.13 GPA
The headline literally says "ranks near top half of class with 0.13 GPA". So it is not an isolated incident. That is a lot of mothers who did exactly nothing

> But they aren't a substitute for "well-behaved" parents

Should we discourage some people having children then?

Someone quoted 15k USD spent in Baltimore for each student. That is a lot of money to attract top talent.

I can hardly believe that the system designed by intelligent people produces unintended outcomes after all these years.

> Truancy laws and CPS only work when the vast majority of parents do their job.

That is a dangerous thought. The next thing one might say is why we need truancy laws and CPS if not to harass well-behaved middle class parents.

In this specific case I didn't any failure of enforcement at all because there weren't any. The school administration just dropped the ball without any explanation and no corrective action against _itself_. I guess tree-jobs-mum doesn't have much time going to school and make sure administration does its job.

> How is the system actually going to force compliance without being attacked as racist?

Focus on actual outcomes would be a good start. I would replace the whole school administration with someone more capable.

Well, the school was fully aware what is going on and instead of taking any action as they are obliged to do they decided to do exactly nothing. The school might not be able to do much in this case, but the _school system_ has enough resources to change the situation.

It certainly school's fault. Maryland has truancy laws: https://www.peoples-law.org/truancy

Specifically: "Under Maryland law, a truant student is one who is “unlawfully absent” from school for more than: 8 days in any quarter, 15 days in any semester, OR 20 days in a school year."

Also, "What happens when a student is found to be truant? The student will be referred to the county board’s system of active intervention. Note that each county must develop a system of active intervention for truant students.

A school system representative will investigate the cause of the truancy. This representative may provide counseling or even notify the Department of Juvenile Services. "

There is whole system designed to handle such cases and it failed miserably

rusabd··on Let’s avoid talk of ‘chemical imbalance’: it’s people in distress
Some people cannot break a million years of evolution baggage and have a job or friends - it is unnatural. What we think is normal these days hardly even resembles conditions we evolved to thrive in.
