"Our fair city": Despite efforts at #diversity, a public school in @CambMA became heavily segregated after @Cambridge_cpsd based assignments on income levels instead of race, the @BostonGlobe reports.

I started describing Wemby to my wife and realized that between his name, physical attributes, and resume, it sounded like I was talking about an imaginary friend.

In the name of equity, Newton instituted multilevel classrooms (i.e., not separating on ability), with no plans to measure their success. This assessment by a high school faculty chair is just brutal. A widely despised failure on all levels.

Intel’s Death and Potential Revival
Intel died when mobile cost it its software differentiation; if the U.S. wants a domestic foundry, then it ought to leverage the need for AI chips to make an independent Intel foundry viable.

I am acutely aware that many people scoff at the notion and think that one is simply not allowed to look at the world and write down things about it.

The code is your enemy.
You love to code. You go to it because you understand it. It’s safe. The compiler always does what you tell it to do (even if React doesn’t).

When I found out how much it costs to make a penny (3.07 cents), I lost my mind. Spent months investigating it. @NYTMag told me I could write 7,000 words on this. I countered with a 19,000 word draft. We compromised & published 7,000 words. Here they are: nytimes.com/2024/09/01/magaz…
Signs in Cambridge libraries say the librarians are required to call 911 if there's a fight, so seems like this problem crosses city lines. Libraries are a resource for everyone (& workplace for some) and we shouldn't let a few people ruin them for others. bostonglobe.com/2024/08/29/m…
I bet this post will repeat next year just with bigger numbers. We were told this time last year that the pilot was working, then in the fall, the cost of non-compliance became obvious. Bring back towing and make government work for everyone, even if it costs an irresponsible few
Prepare your parking plans! Starting Sept. 1, street cleaning violation fines are increasing to $100 to improve compliance.
