I would watch a service with content that I want to consume. It would be helpful if I could find that content. Some content I want to consume like pirate movies and steamy romance audiobooks cannot find hosting on conventional services, but

I worry about grade inflation as well - a 1990s 1st means you are in the top 10% of students but a 2023 1st just means you are in the top 40%. Very different hurdles to clear.

A good start is to understand the value of you're earlier experience and find some positives. You will certainly have learned some skills. You'll have learned what you don't want in a job. Even menial work can be used to dem

This will be presented as deliberate, but I wonder if they just fired the team that handles this stuff. Things are going to fall between the gaps when you cut staff so quickly and violently, and it's hard to believe they just thought t

I guess the concern is that you are going to link an anonymous pornographic video to a real identity you have confirmed with ID. Clearly a big security risk there that needs to be handled carefully. For instance, if your alert email contain

Here in the UK, a lot of things that are available without prescription in the US or are easily prescribed are very hard to get. I buy melatonin and buproprion from dodgy websites. In the US I could just go the pharmacy or my doctor respec

It's an interesting video. It's worth considering the excess deaths mentioned in the context of the nurse and paramedic strikes occuring I believe during the period. Government medical workers in the UK stages a series of strikes

Something I find very curious - Google are doing the same kind of research and are in many ways futher along. They have thier own models like T5 that supposedly perform better. Are their exec unaware of their own strengths? For that matter,

I don't normally downvote so I want to explain why I did it - I think your Rousseau quote is very specific to the historic events and discussions that it came from. He is essentially arguing that democracy is not as good as what we wou

Severance as in a 'voluntary' payment by employers is a US thing that I don't understand. Do you mind explaining why it gets paid at all? In the UK, it's common for employers to have contractual obligation to pay a notic

This is a clinical trial result that on the face of it looks pretty good: "Adjuvant treatment with [The Experimental Treatment] in combination with KEYTRUDA reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 44% compared with KEYTRUDA alone.

Are you following what's going on with these online serial novel platforms like Qidian and Japanese equivalents? They seem to be the wellspring for a lot of the IP recently but penetration to the west still seems kinda low. It's r

IPFS is a protocol like http or bittorrent, rather than a platform like Twitter. It is a federated file storage, so although individual contributors can choose not to host z-lib or allow it through their gateway, there is not single authori

I feel like I have nothing to teach - the blogs I like to read explain things but anything I know is better explained elsewhere. This is the curse of the internet.
