It’s always interesting to reverse the direction of causality in these kinds of articles and see if it’s plausible. Could it simply be that people with heart problems drink less coffee?

I have a perfectly good phone that’s bricked because of this. It really seems like there’s nothing you can do.

I think it’s fair to say at this point that the “semantic classes with reusable cascading CSS” experiment has lost to local, component-based solutions. Overuse of !important is just another sign of that. Having “clean” CSS doesn’t have the

I think you may have misread the headline. These scams use fake “celebrity endorsements”, the “celebrities” are not actually endorsing anything.

The more likely but less interesting explanation is simply that once something becomes highly commercially valuable to game, it’s an ongoing cat and mouse situation. Google may or may not see it as a high priority to fix but I doubt it’s a

You’re right, it was a lot of effort on the part of the lecturer and it didn’t scale well as the course got more popular. I think it’s best suited to smaller, later year niche courses.

One of the most effective exam techniques I have seen, which is uncommon in my country but maybe common elsewhere, is oral exams. I TA’d for a German professor who did them for his stat/ML course, and so got to sit in on all of them (I
