The problem with Spreading in LD & Policy debate is it's actually trivial to counter; but since it's still primarily focused as the approach, people's usual response is to do it themselves. LD & Policy both 'require' a…
It's essentially speedpass built into the car, nothing exciting. Just like the Amazon BNPL scheme is just Layaway or a store credit card gussied up in Tech speak. The whole article is just asking a bunch of fintech…
I'm being a bit 'tongue in cheek' with this... you mean like... ABET or NCEES, which handles the FE, EIT, and PE 'tests'? Also, ABET already accredits Software Engineering and IT programs; and NCEES has had a Software…
I had used Obsidian - when it was all local file - for a while and switched to Roam because I could use it across my devices; going to try out Obsidian again because of the Syncing that's now available (and I was too…
You're literally __NOT__ citing the study used and provided to the regents and which forms the basis for the article. Again, as I noted to the GP, the study is not clear in all cases what n they are using when…
> UC reports international students separately. [sic] The report cited in the article isn't as clear on their distinction and in some cases the numbers indicate that the comparisons are among feeder, in-state high…
There is a chance; but more than likely they're quietly mixing what they count in the denominator; especially since with the rest of the URM group and whites it seems they are very careful to call out that its…
Higher Ed Number cruncher here (who also read the report, which apparently was a big deal to the author since they cited the page count - and many of their arguments hinge on you taking their word for it and not reading…
I'm going to push back on the "less intrusive" than cigarette smoke; yes, vaping smoke doesn't stick to your clothes or on your breath, but that precludes the weird habit of vapers using the product where ever they darn…
Do you have any actual data for that? Last I saw, most bands are still using live drummers and studio recordings for small to mid-sized bands are still actual drummers as well - unless it's a mostly studio band trying…
I'm still a bit befuddled as to why Docker is necessary in this case at all. Python has enough tools for package and dependancy management, if you're wanting to set up a remote machine for personal development, again…
Ah yes, those mild mental health issues that still get people fired for regularly under the auspice of "attendance issues," "cultural fit," or any of the numerous reasons they can get fired for that are totally the…
Perfect world, it probably has a jagged split north to south drawing through Great Falls down to Billings/Hardin. With this year's state legislature and Governor Body-slam; they'll try some stupid ass bs drawing down…
Focusing on the business need filled and results seems to be the best tactic here; we all hype ourselves, but if we were honest most of our work is boring "plumbing" to solve a business need. I mean, that's what we're…
This exactly; most of my martial arts training has included the caveat of "try and de-escalate" as a form of neutralizing the weapon/target, including just talking with them, there are a myriad of ways to talk someone…
Haven't been in any knife fights recently; but have done practice with "live weapons" and the base of the techniques are fairly solid. How likely are you to use them in an actual confrontation though? Probably not…
One of the biggest improvements I saw in my Linux usage/admin was when I started trying to challenge myself to use the mouse as little as possible; it was absolutely eye-opening when I could navigate around my machine,…
As one of my martial arts sensai said: "Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect." But we're probably splitting hairs that a reasonable person would understand don't need splitting by looking at the…
I think that's more the product of VC culture; as a founder you're in a constant case of "selling your company" which in most cases is also selling yourself to people, i.e. investing in a startup is tantamount to…
I'm sure you are silently judging the fact I don't really like bagpipes too... Groundskeeper Willie fist shake
Corporate research is still going to somewhat be at the whimsy of what's bleeding edge AND has some applicable value; the idea of it just is a little different with things like the 10% or 20% "constructive free-time"…
You're gussying up a "silicon valley" libertarian viewpoint in "philosophy of taxation." > When you just store, you don't benefit, and taking it is a purely negative experience. Many people are willing to share part of…
In high school, it was wearing a three-piece suit (because if you're not wearing a vest, are you really wearing a suit?) for all of my speech and debate events; now, it's wearing one of my kilts. For those of us with…
You're completely skipping over the positivity rate; many countries are testing a heck of a lot more than the US is; and they're showing positivity rates in the 1-5% range. If your hypothesis is correct, and infection…
This whole piece reminds me of those classmates in college that had no clue what they were talking about, so they used big words and overly effusive language to sound smarter than they actually are. And while a pure…
