That's true of a software developer in the narrow sense. In the broader sense there are skills around collaborating with others, working sync/async, delivering with quality, communicating status, mentoring junior people, educatin

That sounds pretty close to right. House fires don't necessarily burn down the whole house with flames to the sky. My home had 2 pretty serious fires growing up (over 20 years): 1/ car fire from grease/oil/gas leaking

It's not all that muddy under normal circumstances - if there are payments to the producers then it's an ad. There is the problem in extremis though - a person gets a cameo on a show and then uses that to sell other products and

There's a great few episodes on this in Borgen where the PMs paramour goes to the hospital because there are so many hormones pumped into Danish pigs and how powerful the industry is in the country.

Agriculture has been subsidized for security and stability reasons for a very long time - this isn't a trick it's the status quo ex ante.

Yeah - this is on OP if that is the case. No teacher wants that and it's annoying for the ahead kids and the behind kids. Better to give them something tangential to keep them engaged but still gate on moving ahead with the mainline

That's not necessarily the reason. OP probably was letting faster kids jump ahead but that doesn't really do anything helpful for a class that's going through a topic together step by step. Better would have been to let the

There are nasal sprays in the US - and yes they are more targeted and better in general than pills. But Americans love their pills ... almost as much as Germans love their homeopathic remedies :-)

Apparently the retractable keel was noisy (creaking sounds?) so was left up at night.

No. Boeing is a case in point. When companies act defensive like that they burn trust that they are a serious engineering organization. I simply don't trust them at this point because they don't appear to be vocally self critic

Apparently the keel was noisy when down (creaking sounds I'm guessing?) and so they only put it down for sailing upwind. Really there should be a 'stabilize' button in the cockpit that drops the keel and does the dozen other

Also the tech team at NYT is co-innovating with the business and journalism sides. Their work is highly ambiguous and changing year to year as they move their capabilities forward. That can't be outsourced or it undermines the strate

I mean yeah - there was a very interesting article recently about the usage of the airplane for political rallying used by Hitler and how ahead of time it was for him to tour the country with stopovers in it's entirety in just a matter

That's a big fat zero. No MAGA people are paying for WaPO (or any newspaper aside from WSJ for that matter).

Arc lights also enabled fascism in the early 20th century. A spectacle like the Cathedral of Light and the new technologies used by the Nazi party were transformative in terms of mass rallying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

AI is a means to an end - it's the end that people want (or don't want). For example people like fast and accurate spell check - they don't care whether AI did it or not.

The book Outlive by Peter Attia refers to this as Medicine 2.0 (vs 3.0 which is health over an entire life). In the end though, Medicine 2.0 is very good at discrete issues like a brain tumor. It's a good thing for those afflicted tha
