There is no way for all 3.7 million high school graduates in the US to write a test in the same conditions. But the SAT and ACT are much better w/r/t similar conditions than grades. > state ran standardized tests The US is the

Where do the grades on a US high school diploma come from? They are arbitrarily assigned by teachers from the student’s high school, right? One teacher might give everyone good grades, while another will be more strict, and yet another may

You know what’s an even better policy? Making standardised tests the sole admission criterion. No high school grades (which are often inflated, unless your teachers hate you), no extracurricular activities, no essays. Just one set of obje

How common are those disabilities, compared to people confused by the buttons? Is turning the lock really that different to pushing a button?

Not really. It's a cost-cutting measure. Keeping the old UI lets them pretend it's the same plane as the original model from the 60s and pilots don't need training.

"Saboteurs" suggests it's the third-party-repair-prevention case. Stopping trains by playing the right tones on analog unencrypted radio (with the tones and frequencies being public knowledge) is hardly hacking anyway.
