more and more feels like the high cost of college is inculcating a consumer mindset among students. a degree as something that is purchased rather than earned, a grade as something that is haggled over rather than worked for

This expectation says more about the New Yorker than anything else
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Good piece that gels with my observation that cruelty is more than just fun for these guys. They see it as training to be the sort of hard men who can stand against creeping evils.

A basic and intuitive understanding of the law is that punishments should not be retroactive upon a policy change.
This is even worse. There is no formal policy change, they are simply penalizing couples for following common practice - explicitly allowed by Congress - for decades.

By "retaliate through radio" I assume he means "inform others of a crime"
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

The thing about immigration is that xenophobia and racism are the elite centrist position. Here's a senior fellow at Brookings, spouse of CRFP head Maya MacGuineas, explaining the mere presence of foreigners in Germany is a "problem" that someone must solve with "speed and determination."

Ex-official explained this in a way that will stick with me forever: Within fire departments, the EMTs are overworked and underpaid and don’t have time to advocate for policy. The fire chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot more time on their hands. So fire response, not medical, dictates policy.

This is how it should work for soccer VAR. If you can't spot the problem and convince the center ref within sixty seconds, it's not a clear and obvious error
My longstanding fix is to limit reviews to sixty seconds. If you cannot see a reason to overturn it in that time, it's too close to call and remains upheld. That would eliminate a lot of super-slow mo reviews.

You're telling me that the thing easiest to automate with probabilistic language machines is "executive" work? Shocking
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

It is odd to me that, like, you'd think it'd be parody if you said: to be clear, they only like the bad bits of Western Civilisation -- but that turns out to be true. They like the rapacious imperial murder, but not the art or intellectual achievements or civil liberties, etc.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones
