I would refute that since it's obvious (using a strong word here), that digital anything in the classroom is really bad[0] and consistently led to lower PISA scores. Perhaps there will be some initial changes in the wrong direction wit

How does OSM prevent trolling or vandalism? Since many (most) courier companies rely on OSM for their database a bad "joke" could prove very frustrating to many people.

Looks like teaching is about to become the "it" profession and might become insanely competitive.

Is an EV with 80% battery still usable? I ask because phones with 80% batteries are practically e-waste, or urgently needing a replacement. It's not a fair comparison but that degraded battery in a phone is a problem, because the phone

How come self-driving came years before LLMs which seems to me an easier problem? Self-driving seems insanely hard compared to text generation.

This is really good. Firefighting foam is a terrible material, when entering groundwater, is a "forever" source of PFAS.

I personally struggle to see ways my life has meaningfully improved since 2019 or so, and I feel like many people share this view. I have been an unquestionable fanatic of tech startups back then, which I consider perhaps the "golden a

I wouldn't even call it a communication problem - I believe it's more a media problem, than anything. Good news are minimized and bad news are amplified to the maximum - nowadays even broadsheet newspapers operate with tabloid hea

That's great however after seeing their feed being empty people will switch back. You can already do this on youtube by not allowing history.

You are completely right, it's more the latter than the former.

Balaton's current level is something like... 40-50cm so yeah you're right. This is unprecedented

I think most small or mid-sized company CEOs are much more incentivized or even, interested to "do it right". Once a board or shareholders get involved, it's different, because their (the CEO's) job also changes: they ha

I agree with most of this. However in my time I've never seen a company that was a., successful and b., prioritizing tech debt/upkeep at the same time. I presume AI will fix this however maybe not since it's so tempting to de

Keep an eye out for EVE vanguard, an Eve-related extraction FPS. It might scratch the itch for many who perhaps enjoyed the universe but don't want to (or can't) spend the enormous time to ramp up again.

In your Google scope this all works out however if you're a mature but not yet prevalent, neobank whose reputation rides almost solely on availability, I'd still say theirs is a great approach. Even in the unlikely event that AWS

In your list it says 13 out of the 18 countries tipping is customary or expected. France and Spain are not among those, which tracks with my experience.

No, it's a great idea. Any systems engineer knows redundancy is good, even better if it's across providers. I see no issues with this from a system architecture point of view. As to how the implementation is done that's up to

It's an awful country to be honest, they reject any kind of social progress. Even animal rights is too much for them to bear or hear about. A dutch woman was denied a swiss passport during the naturalization process because she campaig

Sometimes it's the other way around. Lockers for packages were first introduced in Germany (Packstation) then they were rolled out in the US almost a decade later. Not having a lot of credit cards and the associated rewards is actually

Most of Europe tips too, and increasingly there is a service charge too (at least in the UK it has become standard now).

A tongue in cheek comment from me is that in Spain we have all this beautiful infrastructure but no money to send. I would rather have money to send via a slightly more inconvenient infrastructure.

It probably does work good however Switzerland got dangerously close to "something happening" this year with the 10M referendum. And it was very close, with major parts of the country showing an absurd level of ignorance - sadly I

For what it's worth I'm also drawn to radiology tech - I guess because it's one of the most "techy" fields out there in healthcare? Hope all goes well for you.

I have already added googly eyes to mine to give it a bit of a flair. It's hilarious to watch it roam around.

Yeah, totally, it could even scale the stairs if needed. How about battery life though, can it go to sleep then be woken up on demand?

I tend to stay away from topics like this which generalize and basically tell a whole continent they are living their lives "wrongly". But I have to say, AC is not "banned" anywhere in Europe, apart from certain cantons
