Didn't this happen the last time you tried to share a story from cosmos?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Could be. Maybe they can't handle all the traffic we create.
Ok, one less news source.

I had a theory on it long times ago published in physics letters based on quantum collapse (of vacuum state) which had some direct evidences (the QM collapse, not my theory) recently in the field of multi-photon extra long distance (namely, non-causal, space-like) quantum correlation. But they don't listen ...

I have a friend felt from 10+ meter height - he shouldn't exist too, but fortunately (and somehow miraculously) he is completely healthy...
It is time to admit that we do not know/understand almost nothing about nothing and focus our spirit/vigor/strength to make our planet a better place to live on - otherwise we may have no time left to explore the truth about the universe...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Now I feel better about not belonging in this body.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

I assume that they use the kind of logic found here: Hitchhiker's Guide (Original) Babel Fish

Slow internet speeds and the Internet 'rush hour' -- the peak time when data speeds drop by up to 30 percent -- could be history with new hardware that provides consistently high-speed broadband connectivity. Faster than 56K? Yes please.

I'd be happy if the new technology was simply "it works reliably."

10,000 Mbps? I'd be happy to get anything better than 8 Mbps! Baltimore won't allow fibre in the city for some reason so it's a choice between Verizon DSL (wot I got) or Comcast - a no-brainer, obviously.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Like a small but growing number of companies, Accenture is launching a program that's long been associated in the U.S. with skilled trades or manufacturing rather than white-collar careers. Warm up your, "You're fired!" button

... at least for me as Swiss guy. And since I did an Apprenticeship, I see a lot of problems with the approach taken in the US: Each and every company is teaching their Apprentices their very own, and most likely very specific, skill and mindset. That way, you'll get nothing but corporate slaves which can't use anything they learnt outside their "mother corporation" environment.
In my opinion, apprenticeships for a certain profession (Example: Software Developer) shall each follow predefined modules, which teach the basics of the profession. Practical use is then trained in the corporate environment.
To give you an idea of what I mean, I grabbed some links for you to brighten the audience's view on the topic as a whole:

Switzerland:Overview - Eurydice[^]
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

Very interesting, thank you.
Yes, I agree that the apprenticeship should be more generic (but still practical as opposed to many university courses). Like our community colleges, but with a real world co-op component.

Where I work, they have a program called ITA - Information Technology Associate.
Recent university graduates enter the program and spend 3 years at an associate; they spend a year at a time in a role, switching roles every year.
The idea is to give them a variety of experience in different areas, and, hopefully, switch them to permanent full time employees at the end.
For 3 years, they are paid a salary and have a chance to try different areas.
Not quite an apprenticeship, but an interesting concept.

Collective fictions are things that don’t describe solid objects in the real world we can see and touch. Well, not 'mine', but 'his', but ... well, you get the idea

I’ve noticed a trend in behaviour starting to appear — especially in the world of technology and software development. I didn’t know the name for it, so we’ll call it learners syndrome for now. But the next one will solve all my problems!

Anything that takes down Twitter is a Good Thing, IMO.

Mehrotra began to fixate on a question: what would documents and spreadsheets look if they were invented today? Does it run Excel macros?
If not, I doubt many companies will look at it.

"We haven’t had an application creation tool like this since HyperCard."
Citing a long dead product that never went anywhere despite everyone saying how cool it was, is a very odd sales pitch.
