Non-STEM seeking students really are not a majority in colleges. Per the National Center for Education Statistics on conferred degrees, the number of liberal arts degrees has been on a decline for quite a few decades while STEM and more voc

The how is what is supposed to be being taught to children at the moment and why the math classes are shifting away from times tables and such. Rote memorization doesn't produce as good of a result as understanding how the calculations

There's a bit more flexibility on this front with prepaid cards and loadable cards from banks. You can get Visa gift cards in the checkout aisle at most stores which work for most credit card requirements. It's not super convenien

I think it's quite easy to see the benefit of the author's study and their frustration is completely understandable - however, I can't help but feel that much of their frustration was simply because the rules impeded their pr

I was going to say something to this effect since the MtA had a very free and easy magic system that was more about manipulating reality in subtle and not so subtle ways than "I cast fireball". It was a really creative and fun ide

It's not always this though - I worked support in the past and have seen the annoyingness that two auto-reply systems from different ticketing systems can become. Customer emails us and they get our auto response, which triggers an aut

I would disagree with this assessment. Most folks I knew when I lived in seattle were indifferent to how you moved around with some exceptions (gas guzzlers were always frowned upon but this was also during the highest gas prices). I used t

Agreed. It's really important to understand that the core of the frustration for those affected by the gentrification is the lack of control and the lack of influence they have over where they live. This piles up fast and even with ben

My experience with docs was closer to the parent's. Sheets was fun for having a quick platform to hack out a few things for internal use, but it struggled to remain snappy for our org of about 120 persons. For example we had to start s

This is half true and I think it falls neatly along generational lines, with exceptions for "really good deals". Most iPhone owners became first time AT&T customers when the iPhone came out. When Android hit the market, people

I disagree; I think it's as much a personal preference as it was in the past. I don't deny that things are not built to be repaired nowadays, but that doesn't mean that everyone in the past was good about self repair. Stuff c

I was fortunate enough to do something like this as well. It started with leaving a bad life situation and moving westward across the US to Seattle with everything I owned in the back of a 95' Honda Accord. Then a few years later it be

Well homosexuality being more accepted I guess would be a cultural change, yes, but that doesn't mean there are more gay men now than there were before, it means there are more men who are openly gay than there were before. It's a

A fascinating piece of trivia I was not aware of. To me it seems reasonable that instead of trying to reinvent the whole shebang that instead you get these incremental changes over time that just make an OS really really good. OS X too a lo

I think the author wants a bunch of really specific personal workflow ideas/concepts they have to be the standard, which is typically what these rants are. Such rant posts are always interesting to me as I do question my own workflow j

I understand your complaint but this ship has sailed long ago; a corollary of modern communication and access to information online is that now anybody with an agenda can publish it. The old model of set gatekeepers and Walter Cronkite deli

This is likely correct - it's a common mistake in English on both sides of the Atlantic, and you are right that it should be "well". My clients from the UK use it about as frequently as my US clients.

To take a serious look at this scenario, being abroad at the moment without a foreign sim makes me really frustrated as to how greedily and wastefully apps on mobile will use mobile data. Google is pretty bad about this with their array of

I'd suggest that it warrants more investigation than just writing it off as Apple trashes networks. Hybrid Apple/Windows households have been common for the larger part of 2 decades now and certainly others do not experience the s

It's not as contradictory as it sounds. Many such practices are fairly well know to general audiences from causal reading of articles just like this, but the practices often aren't identified as such by those who are subjected to
