Haven't tried this myself, mind you. Just wondering how well this would work.

Article doesn't properly dissect these aspects. Also, the article seems to infer that grading 2+ decades ago was some "golden age" w.r.t. academia grading. Was it really? I seem to remember a lot of protest where high GPA vs an ok GPA was many times due to things like students shopping around for the "easy professor", and other violations of Goodhart's Law. But did anyone really care enough to change that system? It gave employers an easy threshold to filter applications, and no one cared if perfectly good candidates were being passed over. The only losers were the students who didn't play those kinds of games. It seems to me like an alternative conclusion to this is that employers have lost their Easy Button for hiring process and now have to work harder at it. Not saying that there can't be other things going too, but this sounds like a lot of "back in the good ol days" talk.

*say*

"MBAs" had zero mention as well. DEI doesn't appear to be anywhere on Fox News today. What are you trying to day exactly?

It's not a problem to go to college if you can afford the cost. I don't think anyone is saying it's of no value - it's just starting to not be worth the cost for people who have to take out a large amount of debt. Taking an honest look at cost/reward of college for your own personal circumstance sounds like embracing critical thinking to me. It's not shying away from it. Also, I've also met too many people who are great critical thinkers who didn't go to college to believe that the current higher educational system has cornered the market on critical thinking. Not saying humanities don't have any value. It's like salt- a good spice, but you only need so much of it.

Perhaps "slightly startling" instead?

They just need to figure out the Vanguard for Steam to get League working there, otherwise yeah.

I do consider myself lucky that I didn't get into an accident, actually. Yes, I hear what you're saying about RIGHT of way, in theory. But that definitely wasn't how things played out in practice. Many times it's a game of chicken to find out who the most aggressive driver is. Think of it this way - why then are there 4-way stops in the US? Removing them would would be a massive savings for traffic congestion if they truly weren't necessary.

I remember watching huge travel buses making a blind turn (no stopping) around a corner on a road that would be considered way too narrow in the US. They have to honk (and other vehicles have to listen for the honk) otherwise they risk a head-on collision. Even when things are fine and people do what they are supposed to do, there's many instances where someone has to be the one to back up and let the other vehicle go first. I also had the fun of driving a car rental in Rome where most intersections don't have a stop sign or any formal method to establish right-of-way. You just "figure it out". Now imagine all that with with some AI hallucinations in the mix. No thanks.

This is the problem behind the problem. Who actually cares about "academic culture" outside of academia? The function of a grade should be a way to measure how good someone is at a job using the skills and knowledge pertaining to the coursework. That's it. It shouldn't be about maintaining some ivory tower status quo. Until they correct this thinking, they're not ready to correctly address grade inflation.

...is that when people say this, the subtext usually is, "...but if we ever throw up our dog-food, we expect someone else to go grab the mop". AWS customers have long been on the brunt end of this for AWS services that rely on other AWS services. Did service X fail because service Y that it uses suffered a rate-limit or some other outage? "Sorry customer, to hear about YOUR problem. Here's some suggestions to fix YOUR problem." Blah blah blah... Now AWS has done it to themselves. There needs to be paradigm shift to "own my failures, don't pass the buck" from a service perspective. Things need to work on days when it's pouring rain just like on days when the sun is shining. Having a brittle supply chain like this shouldn't be acceptable. Each service has to have a back-up plan whenever possible. It will lead to more robust architecture design patterns when creating such services, even if it makes things harder for AWS.

Finally made the switch a few weeks ago. Other than League of Legends not working, I couldn't be happier.

2nd for Ventoy. Rufus kept bricking my USB drives.

..."Aww Snap, It's gone!"

Have to be careful here though. People often criticize speed traps setups as being more fundraising events than making the roads safer. If the carrot gets too big, there could be unintended consequences.
