No disrespect but I would not call this "clean". The design is overwhelmingly cluttered and distracting. Especially given that each symbol is obscured by a black square with an arrow covering it. The symbols are themselves very small.
Maybe get rid of all the noise and just display the symbols in a nice grid without all the fluff or layers.
It feels really noisy and specifically, not clean for me too, so much that it pushes me away. It's interesting and fortunate that it works for the author and some (most?) commentators.
Yes, this is at best a project for trolling, and it is getting voted on because people naively think it has some useful applications regarding the Epstein documents. It does not.
I don’t understand. The link opens to a web page, and the download link is clearly labeled as a PDF. Why the warning? And why warn about PDFs in general, have they been having zero day embedded malware lately or something?
This comment chain gave me a fun idea to lightly troll people. Just comment "Caution: <file format or file type>" on a thread with no further explanation and gaslight people into thinking there is some problem
They are not alarming without some significant context. At the very minimum, what was the health status of the people who died? People at high risk of heart issues would be more likely affected. But also COVID itself causes heart inflammation, especially in young people, so the interesting ratio is really the chance of death from Covid vs chance of death from vaccine.
10 out of 96 can be either alarming or an amazing positive outcome. Without more context, it's not actionable and mostly irrelevant.
YouTube has a lot of really positive educational content. I have learned so much from it. For instance, I was able to learn photography from it. Yes it’s still social media in a way, but the benefits can really outweigh the drawbacks with proper use.
Shorts as a whole are incredibly addictive and have a much lower benefit to drawback ratio. Parents should be able to make this cost/benefit decision for their kids. I wish I could turn them off for myself. I settled on only using YouTube on my laptop because shorts don’t have the same appeal in that context.
Ah the 386. I still remember our home PC getting an upgrade from the 286. It was a big deal in our home. I watched intently and as close as was permitted. Amazed by all the internals of the cabinet. I was so young. So curious. A seed was planted.
Propaganda being the incorporation of political ideology into much of the lesson plan - even when banned.
Whatever it is, public schools are an absolute failure. But that could be attributed to the immigration in the US over the last half decade. North Carolina lost like 20% of their student base following mass ICE raids.
Many teachers around me have mentioned how the portion of non-English speakers has dramatically increased and is causing significant degradation to their effectiveness in the classroom and the outcomes.
Homeschoolers tend to outperform their regular school peers. But I think parental involvement is a significant differential and is probably contributing to the outcomes.
"In study after study, the homeschooled have scored, on average, at the 65th to 80th percentile on standardized academic achievement tests in the United States and Canada, compared to the public school average of the 50th percentile."[1]
"Descriptive analysis reveals homeschool students possess higher ACT scores, grade point averages (GPAs) and graduation rates when compared to traditionally-educated students."[2]
That doesn’t control for socioeconomic background.
Yes, homeschooled kids do better than the average. The average is also dragged down by the country deciding that if your parents are poor you should starve.
