This is true for me, on Roku. Considering the context, that's far from a platform, it's not even an interface. It's just an alternative input to the physical tv remote interface. If I were to simply re-task a tablet or old ph

It's called the euphemism treadmill[1]. It's nothing new, and it's a normal part of language. Attributing it to some sort of contemporary 'social justice campaign' seems very reactionary. [1] https://en.wi

The strongest pillar of this argument "Degrees are a poor indicator of on-the-job success" is buried almost at the end of the piece. Most of the data the author provides refer to a lack of qualified job applicants rather than impa
