Is there a demand for these at all? Seems like their making the product before there is a market..

If only we had some sort of system to resolve disputes like this. Something that was structured where the exact definition of terms matter and is empowered with authority to adjudicate these type of disputes.

And most of that information could have been left unredacted and you wouldn't have any names of victims in it. You know... like the law says.

This text is really trying to push the reader towards being skeptical, alarmed, and resentful towards the rise of disability accommodations while trying to frame them as possibly overused, abused, and unfair.

My guess is it makes it a very "clickable" story, so drives engagement. Given the vastly higher amount of comments on this topic vs some others on the ole /. homepage, I'd say it's playing at psychology as intended.

"Grade inflation" sounds like a term that implies a bad thing, in this case a lot of "A" grades. However it doesn't really get into the details beyond it but strongly implies that top marks are being "given out" as opposed to earned.

I don't think anyone would bat an eye if the tests are all the same difficulty and the % of students that meet the quality bar for an "A" grows. The implication here is that the difficulty is dropping for some reason and the student quality is what is remaining the same.

And that is why up in MT there is a public initiative going that will make the state the first to deny that right to companies that are registered in the state or do business there. Companies fundamentally have no rights, only those which the states grant them. So just don't grant them the right to have that type of speech.

"Erased $$$ in market cap" just means "Value of thing was X, now value of thing is Y which is less than X"

It's so damn misleading.

Hate to break it to him, but you can get those characters and style from pretty much any image generating model.

I'm sure someone made a nice bonus by having the brilliant idea to drop the "+" from the name.

Lots of value generated, there.

The FCC is just catering to the lobby, showing all of the fees is a simple task that they already do because how the hell else would they charge you for them if they didn't already keep a track of it?

Oh don't forget that the crowd killed cops, yet "back the blue" somehow.

Oh and they all got pardoned, and the killed cops got no honors for their service.

But again, "back the blue"

Amazon is being ever more aggressive about getting people into their PRIME service.

I've seen on multiple types of listings now the "Prime Price" showing up as the default when searching for something and that price that is ONLY good if you have prime is often 20-30% cheaper than the base price.

You can't turn this off either, when you see search results the "Prime Price" is the default and you don't know it till you dig into the listing and have to manually set it to "retail" price.

It's an absolute garbage pattern.

Back in the late 00's, Apple was on a roll. Coming out with authentically novel products that both looked good and functioned good.

Ever since Jobs died they have just been churning the same waters of "lighter, slightly faster". Now their chasing trends, first VR headsets that they have been late to the party with and are overpriced, then with AI, now with going for the VR/AR Glasses.

More accurately it's about "how much". A single one? Yeah that's usually ineffective. A whole bunch? That's called a "revolution"

And guess what's going to happen with the federal government not allowing any new solar or wind energy generation projects. It's going to take longer than a year for coal or gas plants to come online too so in the meantime just bend over and get ready.
