Your mom is looking for (fake or not) emotional support/intimacy and does not seem to be getting it though (sorry to say) her family. I don't know, maybe talk to her more, therapist, something?

Sounds like an easy way to write college papers, articles, and blog posts. ;)

I mean that seeing someone's grades over the course of several years is more useful then test scores.

Remove names, gender, race from admissions. Have a selection board base their decisions solely on a combination of transcripts and essays. I think standardized testing is gaming the system, what you cannot game are transcripts of life long

I feel like one is a cultural problem and one was an isolated incident. See my above comment on really some east vs west culture.

I just want to say, and I hate that saying this makes me come off as racist because I don't want to speak about a whole country. I go to a pretty good American school which has a lot of foreigners going on visas, the majority being Ind

That is a good question. I think the university should decide on the "why" and base candidates off of that. And you are are right, much like picking a hire, a best friend, your spouse, there is a lot that isn't quantifiable.

You are right, it is not. I totally get that and I think we should work to remove bias out of the process. Maybe removing names and genders from the essays or similar entry requirements. There are ways to reduce bias without resorting to so

Training someone to pass a test to get in is not the same as finding the right person to go there. Does this open up the possibility of discrimination? Yes. Tell me about how many people I know who went to a CISSP bootcamp, passed the test,

While you might be right on some of this. I think the colleges are looking for people not based on standardized tests alone. Most standardized tests are just rote learning and memorization. I would challenge that these schools are looking f

Not sure if this is exactly how it works, but I would love to see things like Who will win the 2024 presidency GOP Dem Or the hundreds of scenarios that could have been bet on during the midterms.

+1 Great book if you are looking to be a leader. Other leadership books I would recommend are: To Risk It All: Nine Conflicts and the Crucible of Decision Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done

So far my favorite books of 2022 are: Political ----------- Why We're Polarized Breaking the Two Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America I liked these two books together because they are two sides to the same coin

I agree and disagree with this article. I just bought a new smart phone after 4 years. My old phone was running Android 9 and stopped receiving security updates in May, 2021. The battery was also shot and I had about 30-45 minutes of phone

I cannot read the whole article because of the paywall, but I do find it ironic that "tech" consists of Meta, Twitter, Salesforce, Stripe, and some other companies while there are hundreds of smaller tech companies that seem to be

Just wanted to comment, that sounds awesome! I would love to see random blogs/youtube videos about it.

How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil - It is an interesting book because the author does not paint a rosy picture of what needs to get done to solve our energy and food problems in the coming decades. I really enjoyed it. The Afghanist

College professor required this book and it is great. It's small, direct, and to the point. I highly recommend it.

I am curious how this effort will pay off because I feel the speaker and music app category is pretty crowded. The app claims five ad-free channels and it looks to be more of a something you play in the background. Which is nice, but the sp

I actually really enjoyed the Zune HD, the windows Music app was awesome, I had the dock and could just pop it into the dock and play movies. The menu system flowed nicely. I do believe it was one of the first devices I saw with an OLED scr

Could a paint like this be used to further increase the efficiency of solar panels?

That statement is confusing to me, by ambient temperature do they mean surface temperature? I thought it was impossible to cool something below ambient without adding energy into the mix?

I could completely see Tesla making the system more sensitive to pass tests and then in the real world drop the setting down do that it's not emergency braking due to fall positives. There have been a few reports of motorcyclists getti

I recently did that and did not look back! Enjoying my library (ebooks and audiobooks) through the Libby app along with using the money I am saving from YouTube to instead pay for a news subscription.

Completely agree there, I want to see humanity take the leap and become a type 1 and then a type 2 civilization. It is mind blowing to me that the first diesel engine installed on a ship was 1903 and where we are 122 years later already tou
