The problem with this case of sexism is that this is overt irrational sexism that genuinely belongs to another era.
Which is bad (obviously) and the perpetrators should be fully disciplined, but this is not an illustration of the subtle, systemic bias which is real but difficult to prove. *This* sexism is very rare and very easy to deal with, but the more challenging variety remains.
Exactly this. Obviously a political solution whose side effects are less pollution, lower energy costs, energy independence, and a whole new high-tech economy is a better solution, but there isn't even the political will for that. So we will need a plan B, and to have that plan B when we need it means starting the research now. Not having the technology and the ethics worked out ahead of time will mean delays responding to ecological crises, and a lot of human suffering will happen during those delays.
The only meaningful change will be phone companies adding an extra data storage fee to phone bills. They'll probably call themselves heroes for safeguarding private data from the government, who now will only be able to access the data on demand.
Nothing could be better for Pope Francis's credibility and demonstrate better that he is raising valid points than being attacked by climate change so-called skeptics.
I'm very excited by new technology that can actually help the visually impaired.
I find it distressing how much effort and expense is put into measures supposedly for the benefit of the disabled but which are clearly for appearances, and which inconvenience the population at large, humiliate the disabled, and actually do little or nothing to help them achieve any greater degree of independence.
The reality is that this professor sounds like a paranoid wackjob. This doesn't sound like a case of student entitlement.
I think it sounds a lot like both, but the professor is the one who escalated the situation that one step too far, so he will come out of this worse than the students.
The professor was lazy. If he had made the effort to identify specific perpetrators and document specific incidents he would have probably ended up with 90% of the class expelled or failed, and the one remaining suddenly taking him seriously.
And if he *felt* the need for police protection - maybe there were some genuine threats but it sounds more like the professor was not assessing the situation objectively.

the problem is, Bernie's "truth" is poison to a free country.
No, "truth" is the poison in an unfree country, which is why he will be so vehemently opposed.
Those ideas are unconnected. The whackjobs' opinions still don't matter.
And AT&T waived it after it was pointed out.
Wrong. They only waived it after a journalist began to investigate.

Nothing prevents suing, and a lot can prevent winning a lawsuit even if the law is unambiguously on your side.

It's left-wing by US standards, which is lunatic-fringe right-wing for the rest of the planet.

the chancellor has now outlined plans for a mandatory open banking API standard during the recent budget in March.
I presume you know what "mandatory" means?
I presume you know what "plan" means?
It was not designed to be a welfare program for big companies.
You haven't been paying attention.
It really isn't about money.
It's about control. H1B workers can be abused in ways other workers can't, regardless of pay.
And then they'll put it on computers and call it e-E.
Agile doesn't solve your problems mate, it just exposes them sooner.
That is the best explanation of Agile I've ever heard.

"staying healthy requires extraordinarily expensive, sophisticated equipment"
Not all the time, but for the most part 'staying healthy' requires eating sensibly and exercising.
And, yes, that can be 'home-brewed'.
It not usually *so* dumb as to be an obvious act of attempted fraud.
So, yes, news, although at the same time wholly unsurprising.

This, however, sounds awesome.
The reason that Americans say Brits have bad teeth is because of whiteness and straightness
No, it's because their stereotypes are from World War II. They don't engage the rest of the world as much as they think they do.
It's amazing to me the number of people who think the government, who can't seem to run anything well, should be running healthcare and dental care.
Maybe the issue is the particular government you're thinking of, rather than what they're running.
Well, they don't have Antarctican citizenship, do they?

Men almost never use the term; women are the ones who say it.
You won't care about soda once we're dealing with anthropogenic global cooling.
Don't think of cars, think of trucks and locomotives.
