Not deep in the vtuber culture, but I thought the term comes from things like Love Live. The idols are supposed to be high school students.

- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 2 months ago:
I think rather
d/dx
is the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences ofx
in that expression. For example,dx²/dx
is best understood asd/dx (x²)
. The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program. - Comment on xkcd #3113: Fix This Sign 3 months ago:

The BBC report cited mainly focused on the marketing industry, with the fixing mistake people being the copywriters. This gives a strong vibe of Madman, where you have the “old-fashioned” copywriters and the tension between market research.
- Comment on China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long. 3 months ago:

Rishi Sunak and now Labour are trying to phase out smoking and vaping completely. Anyone born after 1 January 2009 cannot be legally sold cigarettes. It was in the Labour’s platform during the past general election. Also see this BBC report.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 4 months ago:
That was my first reaction. I didn’t find the global average spending number reported by the OP, but according to this page, the 2019 average spending of $15,500 per student (38% higher than OECD average) did consider purchasing power.
