Should the School have these rules? No, it's lame.

Does the School have these rules? Yes, so obey them or get out.

 

She isn't a special case here and she won't be in the real world.

 

Exactly. It's much tougher in the real world than any school will be.

Hair rules, silly.

But does this Christian Academy teach evolution?

 

Deru kugi wa utareru

        The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.


Hehe. Actually, that's a mistake. Also made by many Japanese people.
It is, in fact, "Deru kui wa utareru"
        The stake that sticks out gets hammered down.

 

I guess that with "kui" and "kugi" sounding similar, and both being things which are hammered down, it was inevitable that kugi would start doing the rounds as nails are more familiar to most people than stakes....

Reality is gonna be a bitch when this girl eventually graduates from school and tries to get a job when they tell her to cut her hair because it's distracting in the work place.

 

Whoopi Goldberg didn't. Life isn't always black and white, most of the time it's grey and it's not just 50 shades of it.

Yeah, I'm only doing a Sociology Degree with Major in Behavioral Psychology. I don't understand how any of it works.

 

Tell me why we hate the word stereotype due to it being used on us.

The word has been used to refer to any and all types of people, not just race or one race in particular.

 

Apples to Oranges. We have a specific stereotypical attribute in our race.

It kinda sucks having curly hair. Not because it looks bad or anything but it's just more maintenance and harder to style. I could definitely see her hair being a problem if it's blocking kids view of the whiteboard or something but it doesn't really look like shes tall enough for that to be a problem.

The original story was updated.  Looks like she "won't" be facing expulsion now (most likely because of the media backlash):

Hello,

She is spoilt. Her parents are a travesty and the school is 100% correct. Kid needs to get real. 

 

You go to school to LEARN. It is not a fashion statement.

And her fashion statement keeps her from learning?

 

 

Imagine, if anyone of any race, just let their hair do whatever with little care to it.

Thats what I do to it: I just clean it and thats it. I dont comb my hair and let it grow naturally. I get up from bed and go to work. Noone has said anything ever about my hair.

Yup same thing I was going to post.

The only reason I can see her being told something about her hair is that she is sitting and her hairs doesnt allow someone behind behind them see the class.

All that being said, it is a private school. Get with their rules or get out.

Girl says school threatening expulsion over her 'natural form'.

Argues why can't I go to school without clothes on, it's natural.

Something being natural doesn't automatically make it ok. It's natural to go to the bathroom too but I don't want people taking a dump in public spaces. It's a private school and if they want to restrict haircuts they can. I'd certainly put what her hair looks like in a category with other expressive ones like mohawks. If she doesn't like the rule take her money (I assume since it's a private school she pays to go there) and go elsewhere, their loss. I do hope it's at least clean though.

This makes too much common sense. It'll never work.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
