I work in a UK university and the number of applicants that have issues is increasing all the time, it may be just a reflection of a general societal problem of over diagnosis, but I suspect it is an attempt to game the system.

Also since COVID when students were able to claim consideration be taken for getting Covid, or related disruption to exams, the number of claims has gone through the roof.

This will hopefully mean that the Warner streaming services are shut down and rolled into Netflix. The potential downsides are that Netflix may decline to license content to other streaming services, and other content providers may be reluctant to license their content to Netflix, seeing them as more of a direct competitor.

Apparently google doesn't want you to know if you are using the 2.5 or version 3, what are they tying to hide? It simply refuses to answer the question, how completely dumb.

Sorry buddy, it will be 256GB with increments of $200 per additional 256GB, if you want/need 1TB that will be a cool $600 thank you.

Yet another bug ridden re-build of outlook with AI entrenched with no option to switch it off, enough already!

The USA was only mentioned in the context of cattle, as the practice is banned in Europe and many other countries. overprescribing is a global problem.

Countries like the USA, unnecessarily feeding cattle with antibiotics for profit.
Adulterated medication being sold in corrupt countries with lower dose
Overprescribing and ineffective water treatment, meaning waterways contain low dose antibiotics
Patients not completing their medication

It is no wonder that resistance is developing quickly

We have loads of PHP applications in use where I am that will need to remain in service for the forceable future, we have the developers on the team and that is what they know best. We would like to build new projects in something more modern like Go, but changing is hard. Some new small projects are done in Go, and we see PHP as something that we will gradually move away from, but these things don't happen overnight.

You seem to be making two incorrect assumptions

1. It costs the same to educate a student in China as it does in the USA, not the case, the profit driven school system in the USA results in significantly higher costs than those in China.

That I am blaming Trump. Also incorrect, the US education system has created a population where the majority are incapable of critical thinking and rational decision making, hence why someone like Trump could ever get elected. This would not happen in most other developed democracies.

In the USA, there has been under investment in education and things that benefit society as a whole. Meanwhile China has invested heavily in education, sending their brightest students to the best universities all around the world.

One of these nations is growing and gaining influence globally, the other elected an orange clown as it’s president and is the butt of jokes the world over.

Uber, JustEat etc are among the worst drivers and riders there are, every day I witness them committing traffic violations. Running red lights, driving in bus lanes, on sidewalks, making illegal turns, all daily occurrences. So we'll soon see these autonomous vehicles driving like a deranged uber driver.

SELinux doesn’t have issues, admins who can’t be bothered to learn how to use it have problems.

Companies like this will never learn, they bring in highly paid IT managers with their MBAs, whose job it is to micro optimise at the expense of the macro function. They listen to the BS being spouted by the sales drones from companies selling IT services, drop all their skilled IT staff and outsource to the cheapest providers. They need to stop treating IT as an expense like their energy bills and start treating IT as a strategic advantage to the company. Having a skilled IT workforce has a cost, but it results in a coherent IT environment and that is reflected in the results of the company.

This is simply a case of Idiots doing idiotic things.

The first problem e-bike or not is people gettIng on their bike for the first time in years with a level of confidence that far exceeds their ability, due to being out of practice. The do things like underestimate stopping distances at speed, as well as being unaware of dangers, when you cycle regularly you are on the lookout for danger.

The next problem is simply there are far too many inconsiderate people in urban environments. Mindless pedestrians looking at their phones instead of where they are going stepping out in front of you. Delivery van drivers and parents taking their kids to school in their 4x4 using cycling lanes as parking spaces. Cyclists wobbling all over the place and ignoring traffic laws, riding on pavements, the wrong way down cycle lanes and most frustrating ignoring red lights and failing to give way to pedestrians at crossings.

Finally there is a massive problem with illegal bikes, with high powered motors, that propel the bike at speeds far higher than the legal limit as well as not requiring the rider to pedal. The worst offenders are food delivery riders, that get paid by the delivery, so they zoom around at top speed, ignoring all tules, going on pavements to get past stationary traffic with earbuds in and often using their ordering app on a phone attached to the handlebars. The police do nothing, they even get their doughnuts delivered to their office by these riders and do nothing. Regular confiscation of these illegal bikes would be a good starting point.

Honey is no better than sugar, what terrible advice

We know that refined sugar in whatever form is bad for our health, particularly causing diabetes and contributing to heart disease. It doesn't matter what form the sugar takes, corn syrup, cane sugar or honey, just because it is 'natural' does not make it any better, instead of being refined by humans in a factory, honey is sugar that is refined by bees.

So if sweeteners really do cause a decline in cognitive ability (rather than simply being a correlation) then perhaps sweeteners are not a good choice as an alternative to sugar, instead people need to look at ways of reducing their sugar intake and get used to food that isn't quite so sweet. Unrefined sugar that is found in foods like fruit do not create the glycemic spike that refined sugars do

The trouble is things that are bad for us are generally enjoyable, and nobody likes being told what they should be doing, especially when they know full well that their choices are harmful. If people could be convinced with the facts people wouldn't drink alcohol, smoke or take recreational drugs, all things that are far worse than sugar, but still very popular among people

There is no easy fix, it takes people to want to make these lifestyle choices.
