Having a birds eye view changes the dynamic of an in person event because you can more easily observe who makes a beeline for who. But as someone who gets a headache from first person games I still prefer birds eye anyway.

Looks like the criteria were 1. No cost to the government/taxpayer. 2. Minimal work for the civil service.

I suspect the person you replied to only happened to see that from physics grads. I have seen it in all sorts of people and I sometimes did it myself when I was young (I am not a physics grad).

Popular opinion can just be at local scale. Hence Tom Lehrer's joke "It takes a certain amount of courage to get up in a coffee house or a college auditorium and come out in favour of the things everyone else in the room is agains

I used to work for a firm that did custom homes for wealthy clients. Even when we paired them up with designers some of them just preferred a very plain appearance. That said, I thought the games room with rows of hide-away PCs looked like

People choose not to because they see no need to, but if they put some time, effort and not a lot of money then those barriers are not so high. I took the trouble to get a driving license because I saw value in that. I also took the trouble

This is still ER - clinicians using AI tools. The MH triage flow is patient interacts with an AI by typing or speaking. It could work - maybe the systems in the article are just not very well set-up.

I mostly agree, except in some circumstances good triage can imply angry patients (assuming demand will exceed supply sometimes) : Lots of people present inappropriately at ER and then complain that they have to wait a long time.

Why do they rearrange the logos anyway? Surely it isn't hard to scan a real one.

If you read the article you would know it is literally about Americans who walk to work in the snow because they can't afford gas.

If bad software still generates revenue, that's the value. I'm speaking as someone who has used awful software that some ignorant boss bought for our organisation.

Some percentage of engineering is actually people and politics. The more power (or alternative options) you have, the more you can speak your mind. But if you need the job then argue your case just to the boss, discreetly.

I would be astonished to see this outcome. It is costly and highly subjective.

it says a large healthcare org but does not say if that's a care provider where on-site jobs will be completely different from remote-compatible ones, or an insurer where most jobs could be done mostly on a PC.

Item 2 seems like a circular argument. If your wages did keep pace with inflation then of course subjectively there is no inflation. On the other hand this does not hold in all situations. In galloping inflation you might as well spend beca

Britain has a few structural issues too, so someone who happens to live in a big city, especially London, will have more opportunities without having to move.

A lot of the time bag checks are for glass bottles either because they can make brawls more dangerous or because the venue doesn't want you bringing your own booze.

I'm not in America but just a guess, HIPAA does not apply to a company's financial filings. LLMs are beside the point here.
