Probably intentional as a flex that they didn't use a GPT to write or proofread the article. XD

TBH, I never got the impression from the article that he's recommending to remove the memorisation of facts altogether. FWIW, I think the changes they gave as examples are about changing the way students gain and interpret those facts.

It was mentioned in the article, i.e. to turn up the brightness when watching in a bright room. It’s a customisable preset anyways.

This comment seems misleading… The example used was “the one thing you must know about this topic is …”, and I would have agreed with this comment if they forgot the “is …” part.

There can be! One effective way I found is to have an agreement with teammates to openly and spontaneously use each other as rubber ducks, even w/o expecting that the rubber duck to contribute.

If Hayao Miyazaki can be considered the Steven Spielberg of anime films, then I personally consider Satoshi Kon as the Stanley Kubrick. My top 3 from his filmography are “Perfect Blue”, “Tokyo Godfathers”, and, of course, “Paprika.”

But I think it was the inexpensiveness of Arm chips that made M* Macs cheaper than previous Intel models, right?

Sorry, my statement was not clear. I was talking more about the "hunting" they do in some African countries, and not about the North American system of hunting permissions. And what I meant is indeed "trophy hunting" whe

They exclude CCs. They have a card reader but they either have a sign saying, or the vendor will simply say, “keine Kreditkarte”.

Big chains and enterprises, for sure. But there’s still a lot of SMBs not accepting credit cards.

Not sure about those, but I got mine around 2-3 years ago from gebührenfrei.de, which is from Advanzia Bank. Seems fine so far…with a minor disclaimer that I don’t really use it much. :-)

Kinda sounds like how trophy hunting actually have hidden benefits for the local community and even to the hunted species (i.e., trophy hunting for lions can generate money for lion preservation). I’m of course no expert, this is just how i

AFAIK, these tight regulations are only applicable for those big enough to be considered “gatekeepers.” Can’t remember the specific criteria but should be easy to research. So it’s kind of “fear-mongering” to say that it also applies to sta

Is it really about "long-term leisure computer use", or maybe it's more about "long-term sedentary/lack-of-exercise lifestyle"?
