You're sort of right, but not quite. It would increase demand in the short term, but this reduced class size is a response to disease. When the human malware situation ends, class sizes might go back up, and the increased supply from a

Isn't this analogous to cutting IT budget when there's no problems?

This is already a decreasing trend, and drastically at that. Typically, you protest about things getting worse, not better. Do note that IIRC, this is 10 unarmed black men shot by the police though, since non-shooting deaths aren't pro

Tell me about it, this was my first real boardgame. In a group with engineers and lawyers, it was bad enough that each session started with "what will we get wrong this time"

This is the country with the most dramatically aged population though. I'm rather surprised.

Would the onus then be on the amazon consumer to verify that their purchase wasn't counterfeit

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1080860/market-share-us-... Looks like a split amongst 4 right now, as far as the big ones go. This doesn't include the smaller startups as well.

The concert case single monopoly that controls both part of the source as well as basically all sales is now comparable to the pile of separate delivery services that compete against each other. A claim that all of these have formed a carte

Oh, that second one is cute. I read up on bryophyes (moss and friends) for an exceedingly brief stint back in my undergrad days. Pronunciation similarity to bio made for many "bryo" puns.

Hold up, if a waiter makes less than minimum wage after tips, the company has to make up the difference. This is a federal labour law, and if treated otherwise, is completely illegal.

I'll mention that from experience. IIT is a mixed bag. I've seen some really good people, but a lot of them were just terrible at coding as well.

That doesn't quite answer his question though, the issue here is that quality of lawyer can be counterproductive towards finding the "correct" decision. It's an effect on the outcome that's orthogonal to the actual

It's also about productivity. If the employee functions significantly worse in a remote position, then extending that to them is going to be often a poor decision.

There is no equipment setup or hardware requirements. The Quest is a VR console that works out of the box. Everything works on the headset itself, so there's no need to set up the IR beacons that the other headsets require.

They don't. Common etiquette there is to wear a mask when sick (they also wear them for allergies and warmth), but the majority (pre-covid) do not.

A few things: - VR headsets generally are similar to focusing on something further away due to the setup of the lenses. It's not literally focusing on a screen 1cm from your face. - One direction for current VR work is dynamic focus vi

It's also untethered, which is a far bigger deal than you think. I tried playing tethered and really didn't enjoy it that much, but wireless? That gets used multiple times a week.

I think he's saying that it isn't the specific laws, but the selective enforcement thereof.

And this we now have the opposite problem, where a potential option is treated like it has the legitimacy of crystal healing, depending on the political side you sit on.

Depends. If you run at overcapacity and use that power for carbon fixation, I'm pretty sure you could get net negative carbon output. We're still burning stored resources that way, but of the sort that have been estimated to last

Pretty sure those are made in China. That would put a wrench in those plans.

Man, this really is a case of no good deed goes unpunished, isn't it. That the response to a donation of their emergency reserves comes with "clearly they were up to no good" isn't exactly encouraging further cooperation

I'm very much sympathetic to those who can't afford housing in the prime areas, but housing in prime land is not a human right.

Limiting mass shootings isn't the target result of the right to bear arms. Allowing for self-defense, precaution against drastic government overreach and the such are the objective there. Mass shootings are just a side effect.

The US had a stockpile, but it was for bioterrorism scale and not pandemic scale.

That's probably by American expectations though. Most of Asia builds much denser (and smaller, roomwise) than anything in the states.

To be honest, I was very much of the "change for the sake of change is good" when I was younger.

This is probably why the preeminent use of Spaced Repetition is language learning. You can learn all the grammar you want, but without the raw vocabulary memorization, that's not going to do you any good.

I think over in Singapore, it was handled pretty well.

And back then, hypothetical ancient discord would have said the same about homosexuality.
