But most people go to college to get some Art degree what will ultimately hurt their earning ability. Going a hundred thousand dollar into debt, to come out the other side only qualified for a minimum wage job is not practical. That only makes sense for the well off and the 1% of people who want to become engineers or a small handful of other careers who start with higher education.
"They do not consider money or othewise having an ability to pay when students apply"
Poor people might be stupid and bad with money, but even they know that if their parents live in a trailer that they cannot afford several hundred thousands dollars in education costs.
Far more interesting than how good it is at spotting the average patient, is how close it was on its wrong results. How many people did it give a life expectancy of 30 years that croaked the next week? BMI is a decent measurement, when used on an average human, but is laughably retarded when used on anyone outside of normal. Using a AI, to decide when and how to do treatment might seem like a good idea when you look at the averages, but could be pretty bad for individuals.
Take for example the BMI again. I could program a AI, put it in a black box, and have it decide which patients need a stomach stapling. It would be right 99% of the time, but would send Arnold Schwarzenegger and pretty much every professional football player to get their stomach stapled along with honey boo boo.
The point of Uber is not just a relabeled Taxi. Uber exists because Taxi's have a horrible tract record and are synonymous with shitty service, Uber exists because we want something diametrically opposite. It's shitty cabbies cannot compete on a level playing field, but they should campaign to fix their situation, not to drag others down.
Yes, the teachers/researchers were responsible for designing their own stuff, we were there to help, and troubleshoot; not as their personal assistants. They could not put in a request to have an IT guy go work with them 9-5 for the semester.

A lot of things were heavily automated. Most of the job was running shell scripts to automagically solve your problem. And it seemed like the boss had had a long time to educate users to be self sufficient, there were not a lot of requests for help. There was this one instance, where some proffs had hired this student to setup a survey for them, he had no idea what he was doing and tried to get us to do everything. The boss made sure that that was not likely to happen again before we did it for them.
Why is their budget bigger than most countries? They will save 60 million dollars by outsourced 20% of the workforce? I have worked in IT in one of the highest internationally acclaimed universities, it was just 2 full time guys with 2 student helpers for 1/5th of the university. I really doubt that the total yearly salaries exceeded 200K.
Keeping a few thousand computers and a few server rooms running is really not that big of a job.
That is the weirdest way to write. Not only does Leah Rowe talk about Leah Rowe in the third person, but she has companies talk in the first person.
"Libreboot witnessed this when it left GNU. The GNU project resisted it. Had libreboot stayed and integrated with GNU even more, then it would have been very difficult to leave."
And this is not even taking into consideration that we live in the digital age, and most pages can have large sections just copied form previous pages. No reason to redraw the background for the same location, no reason to redraw Superhero guy, when you already have a library of him in 500 different poses.
I don't see a big difference. It should take a similar amount of time to draw a page as to write a page worth of words. It takes a few solid months to write a couple hundred page novel, even for pulp authors. A comic book artist should be able to outdo that, but since comic books are shorter even a page a day or less will have the comic book project finished before the novel.
I think what might be the issue is that artists/graphical designers have marketable skills, while authors do not. Their are loads of people who need things drawn, while there will always be more people wanting to write books than there is demand, so the authors are more driven.
When the people get bread and circuses every day, you need something with a little more oomph to properly distract them, like the threat of international nuclear war.
But that is the entire point. Sure Google donates a little to the school board, but they do that so to get billion dollar orders of classroom tech. While Administrative salaries are a problem, that does not mean their are not other problems. And Google is not giving away money, they are running a campaign to sell more units, at the expense of our school system. They are not idiots, they know Google Tablets will provide zero benefit to children's education.
This. I recently retook Ontario's driver's licence test, as I never got my full drivers license and it had run out years ago. And they have changed so much. Even the official driver's handbook states that you are supposed to go the speed of the other drivers.
As long as the Owner/CEO gets treated as the driver in all cases. If an auto Uber car runs over a person, throw Kalanick in jail for a few years, and revoke the company's license to operate autonomous vehicles for a few decades.
No that happened, it just happened in states where voting counter to the state's wishes is illegal. So those votes were not recorded, and some Electors might be spending some time in jail.
It does not make sense for a number of reasons. First off, and you touched on this.If you want to correlate a mammalian bone to some societal feature, you need to measure all mammals or a decent cross section.
Secondly, I am not sure how they came to their monogamy theory. All genetic evidence I have seen points to a few alpha males being the progenitors of every generation throughout pre-historic times. Humans like monkeys almost certainly lived in tribes where the alpha male theoretically got every female, but some snuck off with the runner up and because sex was rapid were able cheat. We see somethign similar to this in "monogamous" birds all the time. Where they may pair off, but they have single thrust sex because the entire point is to get every male in a 10 mile radius thinking the child might be his.
From what I understand the science is rather closed. The genetic data is irrefutable, and the physiological programming is clear. We are pre-programmed for harem style mating, women do not just pick some random available mate, they need men to compete for them. And are what is typically called hyper monogamous. The object is to get stable caregivers for your child, but the point like the birds is to get as many stable care givers as possible.

Just because they are poor does not mean they will beg for money.

It is not the number that is bad, if he sued a single person to force them off of their ancestral land, then their is no punishment too hefty for him.

If apple never turned anyone down, when asking for use of the patent for a minor fee, I doubt that the judge will see it that way.

Doom, we would all die with a greatly reduced magnetic field. Basically, that is what we think happened to Mars.
I thought our magnetic field was caused by our molten iron core. Which is not something to undergo rapid changes.

Still breaking the law by using other peoples devices without their consent.
