I see something similar today. The shelf tag says "$XX, club price $YY". I am not a member of the club so I just treat the whole store as over-priced, a place to shop as a last resort. Thankfully there are plenty of other stores at the moment that don't play that game.

And if they say at the checkout "you could have saved $ZZ by joining our club" I tell them that's why I avoid shopping there

statements like this are sure to fill the remaining engineers with pride and make them want to stay

It wasn't clear to me from the article whether the service cabin needs to be replaced or the damage to the launchpad was the biggest issue. I would have thought they can do without a service cabin but presumably the launch pad needs at least a patch.

Huh, I guess rolling an out an update nobody wanted and that meant you needed to buy a new laptop in the teeth of economic turmoil was not so popular after all, who could have known

The point of the low skilled jobs was to employ people, not to get things done

I hear what you're saying but I don't think they do it mererly to check a "using computers" box - I think they do it to make grading easier. In fact, almost all of K-12 education seems driven more toward grading than learning.

What will they call it in the US ?

it's all been shit since edlin

Aren't they supposed to make their own holes when they fail ?

I do recall one lecture where the professor started by writing up a brief overview of stochastic processes on the whiteboard and then turned around to us, the first words out of his mouth were "don't panic, we can get through this"

The lecturer is there to read the room and be responsive to what's necessary to get the points across, otherwise may as well just read it in a book

Not that there aren't some great books that have been better than some lectures I've attended and for all I know AI can get to the point where it is responsive, and more than just broad-brush to the whole group, individually

What a great way for your nation's military to develop tactics for warfare so that they can be AI analyzed by a commercial 3rd party in the cloud for sale to other nations.

Maybe have the special forces use Strava while you're at it.

Glueing the rice on the raisins was bound to end badly

I think the intro math classes are college level, they just haven't typically been needed for STEM applicants.

so when one of these is launched at you as a weapon can it be pushed aside in self defense or is that assault on an officer ?

I realize, it's a hard problem, but maybe a government can help in general with clamping down on bots, it seems they cause a lot of problems, not just in ticket markets.

Maybe governments could issue bot licences, then when they see an unlicensed bot, or a bot doing something outside the scope of its license they can at least try to remedy, either technical or legal (or military !)
