H.R. 7495: Empowering Learners through Competency-Based Education

“But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” — James Madison, Federalist 51

Date & Time: Representations For Information Interchange

“A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery” | Joseph Wright (1766)

Most nations follow the day/month/year format (07/01/19 for January 7, 2019, for example), but the United States adheres to its own format of month/day/year (1/7/19 or 1/7/2019). The potential for misinterpreting dates across national boundaries is the logic for ISO 8601:2019 – Data Elements And Interchange Formats – Information Interchange – Representation Of Dates And Times, the ISO format for dates represents year, month, and day from the largest unit to the smallest, most specific unit of time. The ISO date format is the date format used in SQL and is the default date setting on many computers.

Standards for American Prosperity

Crucial Role of Standards for American Prosperity Highlighted in CSIS Roundtable Session with S. Joe Bhatia

Here are some of the ways in which government regulations impede economic growth:

Increased costs: Regulations can impose additional costs on businesses, which can affect their ability to operate efficiently and compete in the marketplace. For example, regulations can require businesses to invest in new technologies or processes to comply with environmental or safety standards, which can increase their expenses.
Reduced innovation: Some people believe that regulations can stifle innovation and entrepreneurship, as businesses may be hesitant to invest in new products or technologies that could be subject to strict regulations. This can limit the potential for new businesses to emerge and grow.
Slowed job growth: Regulations can increase the cost of doing business, which can lead to reduced hiring and slower job growth. This can be particularly challenging for small businesses that may not have the resources to comply with regulatory requirements.
Reduced competition: Regulations can sometimes create barriers to entry for new businesses, which can reduce competition and limit economic growth. This can be particularly true in industries that are heavily regulated, such as healthcare and finance.
Reduced trade: Regulations can make it more difficult for businesses to operate in international markets, as they may face additional regulatory requirements and trade barriers. This can limit economic growth and reduce opportunities for businesses to expand their operations.

It is important to note that regulations can also have benefits, such as protecting consumers and the environment, promoting fair competition, and fostering innovation. It’s essential to strike a balance between regulatory requirements and economic growth to ensure that businesses can thrive while also protecting public health and safety.

The U.S. Standards System effectively provides a “shadow government” that runs parallel to the elected government so that a balance of informed voices are present in formulating what Montesquieu called the “necessary laws”. See our ABOUT.

Content Management Systems | WordPress

WordPress is a popular open-source content management system (CMS) used for creating websites and blogs. It was first released in 2003 and has since become one of the most widely used website-building platforms in the world. WordPress is known for its ease of use, flexibility, and a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes that extend its functionality and design options. It’s often used by both beginners and experienced developers to build websites of various types, from simple blogs to complex e-commerce sites and corporate web applications.

When it comes to coding standards in WordPress, there are several key points to consider:

WordPress Coding Standards: WordPress has its own set of coding standards that developers are encouraged to follow. These standards cover aspects like indentation, naming conventions, and best practices. Adhering to these standards makes it easier for multiple developers to collaborate on a project and helps ensure the long-term maintainability of your code.
Security: WordPress developers should follow security best practices to protect websites from vulnerabilities and attacks. This includes practices like data validation, escaping output, and regular updates to plugins, themes, and the core WordPress software.
Performance: Efficient code is important for website speed and user experience. Developers should optimize their code, use caching, and minimize database queries to ensure the site loads quickly.
SEO Best Practices: Developers should follow SEO (Search Engine Optimization) best practices when building WordPress sites. This includes using clean, semantic HTML, optimizing images, and ensuring mobile responsiveness.
Accessibility: Building accessible websites is essential to ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, can access and use your site. WordPress has made efforts to make its core software more accessible, and developers are encouraged to follow accessibility guidelines.
Plugin and Theme Development: If you’re developing plugins or themes for WordPress, there are specific guidelines to follow. These ensure consistency, compatibility, and security. For instance, the WordPress Plugin Handbook and Theme Developer Handbook provide detailed information on best practices.
Documentation: Good documentation is important for the maintainability of your code. WordPress developers are encouraged to provide clear and detailed documentation for their themes and plugins.
Version Control: Utilizing version control systems like Git is common for WordPress development to track changes, collaborate with other developers, and maintain code integrity.
Community Involvement: WordPress has a strong and active community. Engaging with this community, attending WordCamps, and contributing to open-source projects can help you stay updated with the latest best practices and standards.

Federal Participation in Consensus Standards

“City of Washington from Beyond the Navy Yard” | George Cooke (1833)

The White House Office of Management and Budget released a revision of OMB Circular No. A-119, “Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards“ and in Conformity Assessment Activities. According to the announcement:

OMB has issued a revision of Circular A-119 in light of changes that have taken place in the world of regulation, standards, and conformity assessment since the Circular was last revised in 1998. OMB’s revisions are meant to provide more detailed guidance to agencies to take into account several issues, including the Administration’s current work in Open Government, developments in regulatory policy and international trade, and changes in technology.

The response by ANSI is available at the link below:

ANSI Response OMB A-119 050614

The degree to which leading practice can be discovered and promoted by industries themselves is a policy issue upon which good minds will disagree. Few nations disagree that innovation is faster and more enduring from the workpoint (or the point of consumption) up, but markets are not perfect instruments for discovering the greater good. At a speech given at the University of Michigan in 2015 , S. Joe Bhatia, CEO of the American National Standards Institute, expands upon this point in the short videoclip below:
