How long before colleges still using "artificial intelligence" are threatened with defunding?

For those going with the satire, recall the original French: "Système international d'unités".

Scarcity of instructors competent to teach such subjects? Followed by the natural bureaucratic response: Pretend no such need exists.

As others have suggested, photos of previous generations look a lot like strangers, absent a story connecting them across a lifetime, and ideally all the way to the present.

The story furthermore must have enough intrinsic drama to engage readers, and fall into the hands of a writer with the skills to turn the raw facts into a biography.

The biographic text provides a structure to hang the photos on, yielding a "photobiography". Search for the term and you'll find examples.

You wouldn't have to, to nevertheless provide great benefit to the grid. Look up "TOU billing".

Underestimated. Turn off keyboard customizations that let your phone learn you're a literate adult. Then discover how much it really expects you to be swiping: butt, sup, lol, rofl, bruh ... Interspersed with plenty of emojis.

Absence of land borders simplifies the problem considerably.

But neglects to consider why it won a majority of votes. Why did it? And how does Prop 13 relate to the more recent Prop 19, which substantially weakened it?

The author quotes: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Then comments:

> I think that “beat” and “borne” lack visual concreteness. Shouldn’t it be “paddle”? “Paddle” sounds a little silly, but that’s the metaphor Fitzgerald is using. (Those boats must be canoes, not steamboats. A steamboat wouldn’t care that much about a current.)

A reminder of the obscurity of Fitzgerald's analogy, which is specific to the technology of sailing: A "beat" is a course that will take the boat upwind -- always a challenge. And if the current of the water is pointed downwind, perhaps impossible.

Somehow none of the New Yorker editors caught this either.

Even more lightweight is a tag -- 'git-log --all' will list these for you.

The page is a fine exemplar of marketing deception. Banner says:

Clicking through Explore Cloudflare Tunnel leads us to:

Naive question then: Where does Servo stand, relative to Electron?

Material costs changed too. Hardwood slats over a raised perimeter foundation used to be the cheapest way. Nowadays that would be a premium build.

It's a picture with self-locomotion! But strictly on-road -- must have smooth-tread tires.

VW's term is "near-production" -- an achievement which, of course, can declared arbitrarily.

And, what actions would constitute "switching over"?

A nautical mile is roughly one minute of latitude. Every blue-water sailor has heard "a minute's a mile" -- although that's hardly even half-correct.
