The quality of HN has decreased considerably over the last 4 years or so, much like the rest of society sadly. Posts like this, to me, should just be removed. There is little valid discussion, it's drowned out by nonsense and political pandering. Posts like these are no better than r/politics or r/conservative.

HN used to be above this drivel, and actually had thoughtful replies. I hope dang and company push for a less politics focused approach because it's degrading here, rapidly. I have flagged this post, but I doubt it will do much.

I don't buy this. Rich people already have better schools and will do better anyway. The divide is growing not because of schooling but because of the centralization of wealth.

Choice of schools will just lead to more centralization and it won't be any different than it is now. It doesn't really solve the underlying problem.

I'm not sold on gifted education, but I am sold on providing advanced classes for students who are further along.

I don't believe you are gifted or not. If I did, I wouldn't be as successful as I am, because I didn't start out as "gifted."

Black americans have been around longer than Italian Americans have been, and they're still "integrating?" I don't buy that at all.

God is that a bad image. "Helping others means cutting off your own leg" isn't really something I can get behind.

> like breaking up the traditional channel bundle and increasing access to more personalized and niche content.

Yea this is benefit decreases every day. The "cord-cutting" phenomenon is dead. Want to watch a discovery show? Oh great, it's only on Discovery plus now, $5 a month. Want to watch Premier League soccer? Peacock Premium! Cobra Kai? Netflix... marvel? Disney+. Oh but you can't watch THIS nfl game on here because it's blacked out locally for TV. Champions League soccer? Sign up for CBS All Access. Can't forget HBO Max!

When you add everything up, cable for me was actually cheaper. But now I'm screwed, because they aren't putting shows on TV channels anymore to get people to sub to their streaming service.

Yea that's what I said - you need to have important/urgent controls physically on the stalk because it's faster than voice commands. What am I not getting? Slow is clearly the problem - that's why they're on the stalk.

What did you buy? I'm suddenly interested...
