Ehm, while I appreciate the sentiment (as a properly deputized representative for all Germans), it may be not for nothing that the saying about not wanting to know how the sausage is made comes from Germany. Meat and sausages are veeery cheap here and while labor exploitation is certainly a big ingredient, I often wonder what the others are.

Step 1: politicians must pay for their own legal troubles

Step 2: “The Association of Totally Real Concerned Citizens” starts filing lawsuits across the country

Step 3: any non-billionaire elected to a political office is bankrupted within a year

Step 4: surprised yellow rodent face

(Bonus step 5: JB Pritzker becomes president and solves world hunger with deep dish pizza)

Edit: line breaks

Maybe this research and language is intended to suggest that there is a point past which “confusingly and unintuitively designed” strongly resembles “intentionally deceiving”? We’re probably not going to get internal emails saying “make it complicated so that we can collect users’ data”.

Also, researchers don’t really control how university press departments write up their results. Even less so when they’re interviewed by media.

Addendum: Apple takes great pride in UI and user-centered design, and lately they have been highlighting privacy as a differentiator from Android. Maybe they just dropped the ball, maybe people don’t care, maybe people aren’t very bright. Still, some people have questions:)

You mean the guy who urged Israel to "finish the job?" Whose son-in-law discussed the "waterfront potential" of Gaza?

The linked version in stable was not impacted.

Relativ klassische Polemik gegen die Definition von Armut als X% des Medians. Gerne erweitert um „Arbeitslose haben heutzutage ein Smartphone und können Vanille und Zimt im Supermarkt kaufen. Ludwig der 14. hat nicht so gut gelebt!“ Sprich, die wahre richtige Definition der Armut sollte sein „besitzt die Kleider, die er trägt und sonst nichts und ist permanent an der Grenze zum Kaloriendefizit“.

I thought ~~have bought~~ this was internet fake. It’s not:

Uraba lugens is nicknamed the mad hatterpillar because of its distinctive exoskeletal feature.[4] Every time it sheds the head portion of its exoskeleton, the exoskeleton stays attached to its body. Over time, developing through its life span, the head grows bigger and sheds increasingly larger exoskeleton shells, which build upon each other.[5]

You’re assuming good faith and willingness to learn/change in the part of the students. I was a TA at a private US uni for the not so smart kids of rich parents. Our approach (imposed by admin) was all carrots all the time. 20% seems fair, even low, for the share of students who were there to get a degree with the least amount of effort necessary and then get a job thanks to the uni’s name and their connections.

Most people have asymmetric faces. It’s wild when you pay attention to it. Like somebody put two different halves together and went “sure that kinda works.”

From noted Marxist-Leninist publication The Boston Globe? Right on

The authors wrote that they were surprised too and went back to talk to the students and apparently there was an unwritten rule that you don’t date the ex of the new partner of your ex. So if Bob and Alice split up and Alice starts dating Ben, then Bob should not date Ben’s ex Alison.

5 pages?!??! In my discipline, we spend five pages just kissing reviewer 2’s behind and begging people to take an interest. Then we spend 20 pages citing everyone and their adviser and their adviser’s second cousin on the off chance that they’re married to reviewer 2. Then you get a copy-paste of the documentation of one of the five datasets that everyone uses.
