I'm afraid she said nothing of the kind.
She merely said that her "study" (watching a paltry 1,000 people cross the road at rush hour, on the way to work, when people are most distracted, anyway) concluded that only one in four people "followed the green cross code" to the letter.
There are lots of "might"s and "may"s in her report, but no evidence that accidents have been caused by people texting whilst crossing at a legal time.
The whole thing is utter bollocks.
Who's making money from it? That's the question to ask.

Strikes me as ineffective.
Change it 15 days paid vacation and $50 award for running over a moron texting while crossing the street.
Now that will solve your problem!

Now what? We lost an hour this morning and yet this seems like the longest of long days. How does that work? Can't even take the dog for a walk .. it's bucketing down! And tomorrow's no better with everything shut for the day. Whose stupid idea was Bank Holidays anyway?

Well, would you rather they saw a one month unexplained gap in your timeline and no experience at all? Never let a potential employer speculate on anything!

Make sure your resume reflects the job you want to get (i.e. applicable experience and education/training). On-site work should probably always be included because it shows you can work with and deal with directly with customers. That's actually a really good skill, a lot of people don't have the right temperament for that type of position.
Of course, it would be better if you had more experience but not every job opening is for someone with 20 years of experience, in fact... at some point it starts to become a detriment (people think... "probably not up to date with tech", "makes too much money", "they're going to want to run the show", etc).

If you can positively explain your experience and why it only lasted a month, then it should be added. I used to use the month/year instead of absolute dates to make short projects look a bit longer and eliminate any down time.

Maybe, maybe not ? : [^].
"The physical universe is really like a movie/motion picture, in which a series of still images shown on a screen creates the illusion of moving images," Faizal said. "Thus, if this view is taken seriously, then our conscious precipitation of physical reality based on continuous motion becomes an illusion produced by a discrete underlying mathematical structure."
«The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.» Soren Kierkegaard

So, they think time is discrete? There is no 1/infinity timestep?

Between the other steps.
Think of it like numbers: rational number and irrational numbers.
From the human point of view, all of time is spent on the steps of the irrational sort.

When dealing with these issues one should never forget the distinct possibility that all theoretical physicists are either mad or merely figments of God's imagination.

Er, yeah, but that only proposes lack of fluidity of movement, except as expressed mathematically* -- the images are shown one after the other as a progression through time, which, last week, we thought was immutable.
Until, of course, an hour of that time just simply up and disappeared...
* But it's really more about the brain's capacity to compress, process, and store images, rather than the number-crunching that the guy, being a math-ophile, is fixated on

The garbage collector is going to have its hands full if you have to instantiate a new time object every time it changes... Let's hope the clock isn't terribly precise!

Except it wasn't! The real story is human writes headline so misleading and inaccurate that you'd think it was generated by AI, Shirley!

Quote: While the four stories were generated through AI, 80% of the work had human involvement. The novel was co-written by Hishoshi Matsubara, a professor of artificial intelligence at Future University Hakodate and his team at Future University in Japan. The team submitted their novel to Nikkei Hoshi Shinichi Literary Award, which accepts submissions from humans and machines.
Just like coding...

"The award had a four-stage screening process, and the details are not made public."
Stage 1: How much are you willing to pay to advance to Stage 2?
That's why only one of the four books (which, logically, should all have been of equal merit) got through; they couldn't afford more.
