Nope, I only stated the first of the two obvious things the study "discovered". And that first part remains.

The second obvious part that I did not bother stating was that caffeine reduces the quality of your sleep. Both of these things known for millennia.

So the study discovered that caffeine can help you avoid sleepiness and stay awake? Good to know. :-)

Nope. The point above is the State Dept already has all the requisite capabilities and contacts regarding humanitarian aid. USAID was largely redundant in addition to be a bit rogue at times. Plus USAID made heavy use of Washington DC based NGOs which are notorious for corruption and nepotism, with a poor track record of money making it past DC and getting to the needy. Replacing the USAID logistics may very well get more money to the needy, and less to political fronts.

Church run schools actually tend to have higher academic standards and better academic results in many lcoales in the core non-religion classes. Language, literature, history, math, science, etc. Such classes are pretty much the same as public schools, just better. It's why so many parents who are not religious want to send their kids to a church run school rather than a public school.

What are the implications here vis-a-vis euthanasia? Are you endorsing culling? You sly dog you, you backdoored it into a normal conversation. What is your nexion?

Came here to say that. Yes, some Spanish speakers do pronounce their Spanish words that way. There are indeed many dialects.

Agriculture is a prime example of this.

Agriculture involves growing plants, not exterminating a species, and arguably in the glyphosate/nicotinoid age we have over-extended ourselves.

So WinCE is back?

I think we should rename June to "Zune."

Simply because it's funny.

Almost as funny as New Coke.

Divorce law and sexual liberation are being reconsidered.

Men have become cash cows for the sexual exploration of bored females.

If I could do it again, I would never have dated, married, or had a lover; I would simply have had a written contract for reproduction with a sensible lady. The justice system is bigoted against the "oppressors" in favor of the "victims," so men/whites/higher-IQ/sane/strong never win.

You live in a country that has laws that ban certain forms of expression.

Call it what it is: differ from the Leftist orthodoxy, get your life destroyed.

Same as in the US under political correctness.

This is about every STEM student being free to sell their books, they won't need them as references. The AI can fetch the details you would otherwise look up in a book. Well, if the book was paper and not a short term digital subscription. :-)

While CSU can certainly prepare one for graduate school, doing so is more of a core goal of the UC system. The third part of the California higher education system. How does this manifest. Well in Computer Science there will be a little more coverage and emphasis on formal proofs and theory. If one takes the GRE Computer Science subject exam to apply to a Master's program, everything will probably be familiar to UC grads, CSU grads may see some unfamiliar things and have to do a little more preparation. Another way this manifests is in the labs. Equipment, the ability to acquire components for projects, is so much better at UC. Matter of fact things can be quite over done at UC. There is a bit of that, we bought everything we need but still have money in the budget. Better think of something else to buy. Excess money in the budget is a little less likely at CSU. The UC system gets roughly 4x the money as the CSU system, roughly twice the money for roughly half the number of campuses.

Don't take the preceding to mean UC grads are better than CSU grads. It's still a what you get out of college is proportional to what you put in. A self motivated student with some genuine interest at CSU will probably be a better coworker than a slacker who did the minimum at UC. Its really the individual, not which system they went to.

Nope. This is a little bit of an oversimplification, but to a degree it is the goal of the CSU system to produce people for "industry". These are not low-level even at the 4-year degree level, let alone at the Masters and PhD levels. The UC system has a goal to produce 4-year grads that are well prepared for graduate school. Most also go directly to industry but UC prepares them for grad school none the less. For example in a Computer Science Algorithms class you will spend a little more time writing formal proofs, a little more time studying theory (ex NP-Complete), etc.

That said, both CSU and UC also have a goal to produce a well rounded "college educated" person. This is reflected in the general education classes. Typical for 4-year schools. Not so much 2-year schools like community colleges (which is only half of their mission in California, they also have the mission of vocational training).

Learning how to be an AI user, learning its strengths and weaknesses, is valuable.

AI, even in its current form, can be a useful resource comparable to reference books. I've kept all my college textbooks for reference. To be honest, if I need to refresh my recollection on algorithms AI seems to do just as good as job as digging out my old algorithms textbook.

Don't textbooks give the answers too? For example, [pseudo-]code for a link list, a binary tree, etc. Also, it's been my experience that like textbooks, the AI answers also includes background info on the topic I asked about. For the more basic stuff, AI seems to do fine.
