Not surprising at all, and not really a problem either provided it works. More modern aircraft use things like USB sticks but often with old file formats and they can’t use a stick bigger than 2GB (actually hard to find if you want to buy o

The “E6B Flight Computer” is a slide rule designed to perform various navigation calculations and is still a part of flight training for many pilots today. Once mastering it the old way student pilots are then allowed to use electronic vers

A good lesson to all to fact-check what you read. Especially if your source of news is some random guy on Twitter.

At least they’re issuing the refunds. Have bought products from other startups that went bust and they just send an email saying their product won’t work after X date, have a nice day.

Because AWS honestly cares more about having a happy loyal customer for the long term than making a few bucks in the short term. That’s why. It’s a rare mindset among large companies these days.

Universities are starting to sound like car salesman. Look at this great deal! Now we’ll just add on the winterization fee, rust prevention package, delivery fee, admin fee, admin recovery fee, tag fee, boat payment fee, tire rotation fee,

Indeed. The article uses “fees” to include tuition but yes usually it’s called “tuition and fees.”

Few would argue about fixed costs of libraries, but you be hard pressed to explain how libraries etc. are responsible for the cost of higher ed increasing far far faster than inflation to levels that are increasingly hard to justify. That h

The Pandora’s box here is that far too little of these “fees” actually went to in-person instruction vs. bloated admin and other things not directly linked to core educational activities. Unless universities slash those bloated admin and ot

There’s a big difference between stealing actual IP and executing on someone else’s idea (even if the idea was “stolen”). The sour grapes here seem to be coming from those who thought they “owned” having an idea but failed to fully execute

Great job. Handmade detailed models are always very impressive. Making it out of an odd material makes even more interesting.

COVID-19 will likely be a watershed moment for higher education in the US. Many colleges and universities will likely never return to what they had before. There will be immense pressure to rethink how the whole system works and the cost st

I see that but I think the broader point (and the point of the article) is that too often “success” in finding some less obvious link actually comes at the cost of overlooking the simple stuff. In the end there’s an argument that while neat

I’ve always thought that the “advanced tracking” touted by some in AdTech was: 1. Generally not that advanced (yes I searched for hotels in Florida and so yes I’m probably taking a trip to Florida... don’t need fancy ML to figure that out.)

There was a time when McKinsey could probably say they “hire the best of the best” but I’m not aware of anyone that honestly believes this to be the case today. Top talent doesn’t want to work for consulting firms anymore.

This seems to be the norm for many companies. Everyone is throwing in the towel on 2020 so far as the office goes with the goal to take a fresh look for 2021 at the end of this year. Many will likely never go back to the setup they had befo

To be fair isn’t this probably the case with just about every laptop? Kit it out with some crazy totally impractical cooling setup and you can squeeze out a bit more performance. Even after all the craziness they edged out enough performer

Just think of all the “snow” products as a modern version of sneaker net (it used to be faster to run down the hall with a disk than transfer files over the network because networks used to be really slow). The snow products solve the same

The SAT has always generally been a test showing how well you prepared for the SAT. For top schools all viable candidates had very good scores so it wasn’t much use. It was just one of those things everyone did because everyone did it. With

In probably 99% of AI/ML use cases the AI/ML is basically just a commodity item and the real “expertise” comes from getting and preparing good datasets for analysis, and having a clear problem to solve. The strategy behind somethi

I think we agree. Saying fake identifies = not cool. Gaming the system (without fake identities) may not be nice but probably not illegal (in most places).

“Insurance is not a financial instrument” That’s just not correct. There are plenty of insurance policies where people buy them as an investment with the hope of profiting off the payout when the insured asset has a loss. Credit default swa

These are valid concerns but in 2020 very easy problems to solve. There’s little reason why a small consortium of institutions couldn’t build a very robust system to accomplish all that. Use digital signatures and distributed mirrored stora

Can’t imagine any serious tech environment still allowing non-temporary creds. If they do, good luck when the security audit happens.
