Don't do that in Norway either - just bad luck if the holidays happen to land on a weekend. On the other hand, we have five weeks of paid vacation, and holidays are not counted into those, I'm not sure how that's done in other countries?

The whole "maybe if the homework can be done by a machine then its not worth doing" thing is such a gross misunderstanding. Students need to learn how the simple things work in order to be able to learn the more complex things later on. If you want people that are capable of solving problems the machine can't do, you first have to teach them the things the machine can in fact do.
In practice, compute analytical derivatives or do mildly complicated addition by hand. We have automatic differentiation and computers for those things. But I having learned how to do those things has been absolutely critical for me to build the foundation I needed in order to be able to solve complex problems that an AI is far from being able to solve.
I guess, but the again, pretty much any sentient creature could tell you that drinking the marshy water with dead stuff in it is a bad idea. That's a pretty basic survival instinct that I think we had figured out well before we had modern science.
Right... Im not even able to keep track of the months anymore...
I'm assuming South Korea has an impressive production capacity for 155 shells, given the nature of NK, and the kind of war they've been preparing for. In that case, direct support from South Korea could mean a pretty solid increase in access to 155mm, which seems to be what is determining the course of the war in Ukraine!
I'm honestly just thinking that at some point they must have pushed it too far. The media is calling this a "retaliation strike" but fail to mention that the missile exchanges with Iran started when Israel "assassinated" a Hamas top in Iran using a bomb last year, with a bunch of collateral casualties.
Like... what does it take to convince all their neighbours to start a ground war in Israel, and for the west to simultaneously look the other way? It looks like they're trying their best to find out.
I feel like it has something to do with the fact that there's less content, so when you post something, it's actually going to be seen by people.
I didn't post or comment anything the last couple years on Reddit, largely because it increasingly felt like shouting into the void.
This is so facinating! I remember hearing about this around 2016 when they did excavations, but didn't know they found the guy already in the 1930s. It's just awesome that the story of how this person died has survived a thousand years through the sagas.
I do think it's a bit weird that the article focuses on whether he had some disease though- obviously throwing a dead person in the well is going to make the water undrinkable, regardless of whether said person was sick when they died...
They might have to deal with her actually upholding the ultimatum that's been put forward regarding letting aid into Gaza.
They might even see her take make a stand and actually stop or restrict weapons exports and stop tip-toeing once she's safely elected.
I'm not making any promises, but those are all at least hypothetical possibilities if she's elected. Not so much if Trump is.
Sees like Israel is banking 100 % on trump winning the election. They know full well that the US won't put anything behind their demands just weeks before the election, and if Trump wins, all demands will be thrown out the window.
My guess is that they're thinking they can keep pushing it for a couple more weeks, and if Kamala wins, they'll deal with that then.
I am/was in the same boat as you: For a long time, I just didn't care that I was giving away a bunch of information in return for convenience, and didn't get why people cared so much.
I don't really know what triggered it, but at some point I became painfully aware that the only goal these companies have is to squeeze every possible penny out of selling me. I started noticing that the stuff they ask you to confirm is 95% stuff they want because they can sell it, or use it to get you hooked to their service, and 5% (at best) stuff they need to make the service good for you.
This triggered a change in my perspective: Now it pretty much makes me sick to my stomach to think about all the companies that are drooling over me, trying to make a buck by getting me to click something I'm not actually interested in, or don't actually need.
These people have a vested interest in manipulating me, and by giving them my data, I'm giving them the tools to do it. I don't want to be manipulated or sold as a product: That's what made me start caring about protecting my data.
Totally justifiable IMO. In my day-to-day life its much more important that my shit works when I need it to than that I get whatever potentially something-breaking latest hotfix patch for everything on my system. Put simply: My OS, and the packages I use, work. If I don't update, I'm sure it will also keep working. When I have time for an update to break something, or want to pull in some new feature or patch, I'll run an update.
