Re:Need help with students who've turned my class into a dating service

It is difficult to suggest solutions without knowing exactly what the course is, but designing a class project to develop a solution for an analogous problem might be a solution.
Assign the students a project to filter out students with ulterior motives from a theoretical class. The engineers will then be forced to produce a solution for the problem of their own creation while subtly alerting other students that not everyone enrolled in the course is there for the same reason.

I'm running Windows 11 preview and have the ability to turn off taskbar items in taskbar settings. I get the impression that they are still experimenting with the search box settings.
100% agree it is a ploy to drive Bing search.

I wonder if there is some sort of tax strategy Musk can implement if Twitter goes under? Might be more valuable dead than alive to him.

May also differ by OS. I'm on Android and have options to disable four or five different types of alerts.

There are also some indications that Washington is increasingly viewing semiconductors as a national security issue. There could be a shift in federal funding that could make the industry more attractive to talent again.

Re:Ask HN: How to talk with logical flow and coherence at interviews?
on Thursday June 09, 2022 @01:06PM (#31683854)
One approach I used when I first started interviewing was to apply to a few jobs I wasn't really interested in pursuing to use as an opportunity to practice interviewing.

I think they should just make a one time half-hour adjustment and split the difference. Not sure how much of a technical challenge that would present to implement.

My theory is that U.S. and other governments recognize that digital currency will eventually be necessary.
Rather than expend the resources to develop it themselves, they are giving the crypto community enough space to do the R&D for them. Once the technology evolves to a point that it is both secure and practical, the governments will implement their own digital iterations of their respective currencies.

I think iPhones get 6-7 years of support. I believe the new Pixel 6's are up to 5 years.
