@evan feels like protectionism to me.

Was given the keyboard.io model 100 for the holidays. I can now type my password on the first try! Thought that I was more of a home typer than I really am...

For those wondering about the effect of a Christmas tree on electric range. It took us about 16 kWh's of battery to get to the Christmas tree farm and 32 to get back home.

@evan I think this was the goal of Facebook with the Like button. Though I'm not sure it really satisfies that need.

I wonder if this is a case for some sort of AI to do a first pass, where the poster would see those comments as likes or dislikes, but would let other more substantive comments through.

@evan this is anonymous and e2e encrypted, right?

Seen on a car, but considering this for my new Github avatar.

@futurebird really great points.

I have advocated for adding stats to the base curriculum because I feel like it has become critical to exist in our society. Feels like even a weather forecast requires a little understanding of stats. Much less things like elections.

But having a well thought out curriculum is key. And I don't think stats should ever be a capstone for math students. Everyone needs it.

Do you think there is a way to fit "stats literacy" in without replacing another course?

@evan I would say that this is largely because I'm not a "static" cook. I tend to adjust and change them, so there isn't "a" recipe.

When people ask I'll tell them what I'm doing, but it isn't the same each time.
