That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.

I think absent bowel sounds generally means no shitting. Bowels are apparently pretty noisy when they’re digesting.

You can want it all you want. It’s just not reality. And pretending like it is isn’t helpful to people trying to learn the language.

It would be a contraction of had: “I had better write…” Using would there doesn’t make sense.

The aid is definitely for the audience. Otherwise, the presenter would just have some notes.

The slides don’t need to be a book. But I struggle to think of a technical topic that doesn’t have some visuals that would make talking about it easier to follow.

Edit: and I think it’s presenters thinking the aid is for them that leads to such awful slides.

Maybe for something non-technical that would be reasonable. But if you’re talking to a single slide for ~30 minutes, it’s unlikely to be an adequate aid for most people. Either the content is really complex and would benefit from additional slides that focus on each relevant part. Or a lot of what you’re talking about isn’t really represented, and people are likely to get lost without something to show what it is you’re describing.

Dogs kill about twice as many people per year as cows in the US.

I looked it up. macOS is still unix certified.

BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like.

What is and isn’t unix is kind of up to what definition you’re working with (pedigree, legally, practically).

I think macOS is actually Unix certified. It at least was at one point.

I would definitely save it under a new name at the start because I’d totally accidentally save it without renaming at some point if I didn’t.

I graduated 4 years ago and don’t have access to my academic email anymore. So maybe checking for an author still at the institution might help. Could also be unlucky.

Usually, for academic journals, you can retain most of your copyrights and grant a license to the journal. You have to pay attention to the options they give you when going through the publishing process, though. Because it does depend.

Some funding sources require that you retain certain copyrights in order to comply with things like public access mandates.

You misunderstood. The journals get the papers submitted for free (i.e. they don’t pay the authors) and reviewed for free (i.e. they don’t pay the reviewers).

Have you ever graded free response tests before? I assure you that some people do similar things when pressed to come up with an answer when they don’t know. Often, they know they’re BSing, but they’re still generating random crap that sounds plausible. One of the big differences is that we haven’t told AI to tell us “I’m not sure” when it has high uncertainty; though plenty of people don’t do that either.

Seems no, to me: a human lawyer wouldn’t, for instance, make up case law that doesn’t exist

You’ve never seen someone misremember something? The reason human lawyers don’t usually get too far with made-up case law is because they have reference material and they know to go back to it. Not because their brains don’t make stuff up.

Most consumers don’t buy their own routers. The only time I’ve helped people buy routers in the last decade is to get one you could install a vpn on. Looking at the wireless standards never crossed our minds.

How science often works is you try to disprove things, and if you can’t, you accept them as likely to be true. So, to show that the thesis is complete and accurate, they’re trying to find places where it’s incomplete or inaccurate. In the defense, your job is to defend against these attempts.
