It seems like we're forcing the rest of the world to print dollars.

Well over half of college teaching is already done by "adjuncts" who are non tenure track teaching staff. The teachers are effectively unsupervised and do their best but have no incentive to improve other than self motivation. Dis

Man, I'm dating myself by admitting that I know what a drum card is.

I'm with you there. Though I have a technical degree, I went to a liberal arts college, and preferentially took courses that had a heavy writing component. I was a good typist thanks to coding, and one of the first students to use word

As I understand it, being an artist was a trade. If there were no customers asking for pagan art, there would have been no pagan art.

The custom workflows are because each clinic system is trying to figure out the best way to make money, not the best way to treat patients or serve clinicians. Disclaimer: I know a number of people who work for Epic. ;-)

What I've noticed is that everybody skirts rules for convenience, but the offenses are different because the conditions are different. Cars break the speed limit, look at their phones (easy to see from a cyclist's vantage point) a

I predict that if faster than light travel is possible, we will have it within our lifetimes, perhaps even as soon as 20 years ago.

I've read that doping has been with cycling from the start. The early racers in the TdF took amphetamines to counteract their hangovers.

Indeed, but high intensity agriculture at a scale to feed earth's population consumes more nitrogen than can be obtained through crop rotation.

An accordionist in my locale played with an attached peg that supported the instrument from the floor. I sympathize. I wouldn't be able to play upright bass if I had to support the instrument myself.

At what rate do they produce degraded pasture land? Is it renewable?

I've read that in the Americas, some cultures abandoned farming, and went back to foraging. One reason was that having large stores of transportable food made you a sitting duck for your neighbors wanting to come and help themselves.

As a grad student in 1986, I was a TA for freshman physics lab, and an obligatory rite of passage was the notorious "oscilloscope lab." The other TA, and the professor, were both theoreticians. I was the only grad student with any

I've played jazz for about 45 years, and admittedly I'm not steeped in theory. I do know a massive number of tunes. The people I've known who have made practical use of theory, mainly used it to help them streamline compositi

Musicians are still trained this way. The tunes in the Suzuki violin books are the ultimate covers. You can go to a beginning violin recital anywhere in the world and hear exactly the same tunes. Musicians still use transcriptions of past r

It's a real two-edged sword. On the one hand we claim to value originality. On the other, people will eschew originality if it hasn't been validated by some kind of gatekeeper. Conventional wisdom among musicians is that the best

It's come up often enough for me, in 55 years of riding. Experience does make a difference, but I haven't yet seen the risk of an unexpected stop drop to zero. And I think learning to control the bike is still valuable for a begin

Moreover, a lot of casual cyclists don't use the front brake at all -- evidenced by the condition of the front and rear break pads on bikes I've worked on. I think that effective use of dual braking is vital to safe riding. I advi

If your salaries exceed your sales by more than 5x, then it makes sense to deduct only 1/5 of those salaries this year, and save the rest of the deduction for later. That's in case your business lasts another year. It's not j

An interesting confounding variable might be that self taught programmers are likely to be influenced by a background in some other field. For instance, my degree is in physics, so I'm likely to "think like a physicist," if t

I have a rule that if something seems more literate than the person who wrote it, they probably didn't write it. Also, the vast majority of stuff ever written isn't worth reading, so filtering your feed for stuff that's worth
