This is a lot of words for not saying that students keep sending essays entirely written by ChatGPT and never proof-read by their “author.” Never having to do homework is affecting students dramatically, according to many teachers. What Gat

Is that deeper or shallower than usual?

That one is easy: You won’t shock anyone if you show up at the hospital with dirty underwear. You don’t want a trauma surgeon to say that they have to page the neuro-chir. Get under a doorframe, and put your pants up when your head is safe.

An easy-to-understand, single-price ticket that doesn’t require detailed planning is a very good argument for tourism.

I was directly involved in this. I am happy to answer any questions you have about questioning or ethics at the time. Assuming that people's reaction to this was wrong, while not knowing what that reaction was, or having less than 5% o

Hi, I'm a journalist. I’ve found your passwords and social security number. No need to ask how. Do I have the right to sell those to anyone who wants?

This is hard, but typically, it happens when their interest doesn’t lead to the same decision as “the right thing.” This might not be inherently wrong: if you have a family who depends on you, keeping your job and making money is a morally

The Swiss position on joining the EU follows a similar trajectory: the decision is negative, but that’s not because they think joining the alliance is a bad thing or that relations are strife, but because they thought, or think, that making

I believe they realized that a while ago, but you are definitely right that they have been looking at Ukraine and taking detailed notes.

I think the rule only applies to device of a specific size (but that size might be laptop). Either way, Apple offers USB C as an option. You can have proprietary features (like MagSafe for all other Apple devices), but you must offer USB C

Would treating the wood (presumably with chemicals you might not want inside your house) be enough to avoid the rot? Traditional wood houses in Scandinavia have tar and seem well preserved: is that usually enough, or did they survive becaus

As a European, I was confused to read that wood was considered structural enough that they needed this… Of course, there are new mass timber builds, but those use wood that is heavily processed. I guess the lighter wood would need to be pre

The Emperor is very obviously coded as the Shah of Iran. I’m not sure how much Herbert differentiated Persian from Arabic culture —I don’t think he would conflate the two— but at the time of the Shah was seen as the most decadent ruler, ind

Amusingly, neither Zendaya nor Javier Bardem are Middle-Eastern, but they can easily play so because skin color works that way. I think the fact that it could just as well be a post-El-Niño Chihuahuan desert makes sense too.

I assumed some of that was because they kept, and highlighted really, the fact that their religion was the result of deliberate manipulation by the Bene Gesserit. I can’t remember if they explicitly say “planted prophets,” but it felt more

No, the reference to Arabic oil is heavy-handed at least, but Frank Herbert has denied this was intentionally just that, without denying there were obvious elements. He’s claimed they represent a wider yearning for freedom.

The one detail that comes up from people who’ve been on board but isn’t covered in the media is the smell. I’ve been told it’s like a locker room that hasn’t been aired for years.
