TIL that India cut the Pythagorean theorem—Edit: its similarity proof—, periodic table, and evolution from mandatory education in June 2023 Edit: before adding it back a week later

Jump

  • I thought this conversation was about whether students who don't major in biology or chemistry will learn about evolution or the periodic table if the simplification was to proceed. Apparently, it wasn't, being a duplicate of this instead.

    It is still in the textbook and is taught in school. Source: I have a brother studying in 10th Grade.

    As seen in this parent thread above and in the edit I made to the post about 4 hours ago, this simplification was axed a week after this article was published. (However, that didn't stop Google from prioritizing outdated information.)

    • IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  • HEIC is a much better-compressed format than JPEG that all Androids support; iirc JPEG XL (kinda dead) and Google's WebP are the only other big-name formats with better photographic compression. Windows was the only major operating system that chose to have consumers separately pay the patent fee, none of which goes to Apple. Since Windows 11 22H2, HEIC images work out-of-the-box.

  • I was referring to "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer", which was free, but I just learned that it was taken down a year ago.

  • The article says that only students who choose to major in a subject will learn the information's 11th and 12th grade subject textbooks. I don't see how the textbooks themselves will tell me anything on Indian majors, especially textbooks from 10th grade and below. I feel like I'm missing something:

  • What secondary sources do you propose we trust? Deutsche-Welle has a reputation for fact-checking and retractions. What's your source that students who don't major in math or biology will learn these?

  • sorry about that

  • as said below, that’s the last mandatory grade

    This is Pythagorean theorem for the similarity of triangles

    could you source that?

    • Hackers demand France’s Schneider Electric pay a $125k ransom in baguettes

    Jump

  • However, the hacker(s) indicated, that should Schneider publicly admit to this latest data breach, the ransom would be cut in half. Thus, the ransom demanded would decrease to $62,500 worth of baguettes, we would presume. Even with a 50% deduction, that’s still a lot of dough.

  • Hmm, I guess I can see why you would read it that way, but I think we can agree to disagree: I read it as the second paragraph of the comment I linked to. 4B is about not having sexual relations with anyone, including those who one would otherwise desire.
