> Automation messes up the flow of illegal drugs.

This is the real reason and one of the primary reasons productivity won't be optimized, especially at the LATAM ports.


When I was very young in the 70's, I was told to study French because it was the international language.

In the 80's, it was Japanese because they were going to take over the world.

In the 90's, I was told to take Spanish in college because the US was going to be a bilingual country.

As an adult in the 2000's, I watch US helicopter parents scramble to put their kids into immersive Mandarin courses, mimicking the Japanese fad of the 80's.

I'm at least proficient in four languages, none of which are the above four, and my life and career has been just dandy.


Which four languages are you proficient in?

I had a relative that just answered "butter" for everything.

I bought one of these: https://www.iflash.xyz/store/iflash-quad/, four high endurance 256 micro SD cards, and an iPod 5.5 off eBay a while ago. I converted all my FLAC files to Apple Lossless and loaded it on that. I plug in wired with Focal Batys. It's a dream on a long flight.

Only downside is I now have to carry around a 30 pin iPod cable or a USB-C to 30 pin adapter now to charge it.


This happens everywhere in Apple products. It thinks it knows better than you, and completely screws power users.

Try manually adding IMAP/POP/SMTP servers in Mail in both iOS and MacOS. First off the process is nowhere near consistent. Second, they both try to be clever if they detect supported hosts like gmail. It'll kick off different flows because it thinks gmail is gmail. So for things like custom reply-to's, it's a massive pain in the ass.


Gmail requires a different login flow, because they're dropping password authentication in favor of OAuth, for pretty reasonable security reasons.


And entering my password in a different kind of text box is more secure how?


Because you are entering it into a Google login flow.

Which usually will have MFA and sometimes not a text box at all (passkey).


2FA support. Gmail requires 2FA.


It doesn't "require" it. Users might enable it or disable it.

If it's disabled, can you explain to me how is it safer?


Gmail can require 2FA more or less at google's whim, regardless of user preferences (and if you don't have a method set up, you'll be locked out of logging in, at least through that particular device/connection)


It can require it if it is enabled. Which is not mandatory.


No, even if you have it disabled, google will occasionally ask for a second factor anyway. This often outright locks people out of their accounts.

(see this for example: https://support.google.com/mail/thread/14768952/how-to-turn-...)


If Google detects something strange or is just feeling particularly chaotic that day, they will lock the account and require you to verify it using the phone number. Even if you don't have 2FA enabled.


There are so many quirks between the way Mail behaves on iOS vs Mac, its infuriating. At the core of it, if you are manually adding IMAP/SMTP/POP, both just need to get out of the way and stop trying to help. Very typical of Apple to think it knows better than you.


Shiny is a great package. Not unlike R (and PHP back in the day) it was made by people that were not necessarily great programmers who wanted something to get up and running quickly. Lowering the bar to entry made sacrifices to performance, security, and consistency. However, you can punch above your weight class if you're a researcher who barely knows R and Python with Shiny.

That being said, if you're investing time to learn React and dealing with all its pitfalls to use with R, you might as well just go all in with React at that point.


This exactly. However, they did say there was "no compromise in payload."

If they can get those numbers at full payload, that would be impressive. Current generation of trucks can max pull half of the minimum weight of a shipping container. That's a huge headache for everyone in shipping from the trucking company to the terminals to the ships.


If they aren't providing hard numbers, then we should infer that to mean the figure is on the low side and failed to meet expectations.

Nobody is vague about a home run. OTOH, "there was no compromise in the number of swings the batter took" sounds an awful lot like a strike out.


It's now been years and they still haven't said what it hauls. Just that cargo and semi combined are at the limit for gross vehicle weight. Should be very easy to say the semi weighs X and it hauls Y.

That they're not saying it after years is really suspicious. Give us all the numbers.


My first job in development was at a lending division at a bank. After that, I was at a large health insurance company. (1999-2005) Waterfall certainly did exist and it got even worse at the health insurance company. My official title was "Application Developer" but I spent about 60% of my time filling out reams of paper that got passed around in meetings with everyone under the sun that took another 20% of my time.

The first time a startup recruited me and described how they worked, I jumped on that mainly because I'd actually be coding.


The article is just stating reality in a sensationalized way. In summary, the article states that in the majority of cases, what was expected to happen happened - black enrollment went down, Asian enrollment went up. However, in a minority of schools, things didn't follow this pattern. Shocking.

The article shines a light on some schools that did not follow this pattern. One major reason is completely inconsistent reporting methods and requirements. This is always the challenge with US universities in everything from academics to athletics. Different states have different reporting laws and there are vastly different requirements for public schools vs. private.

What I found interesting was the point that maybe at some schools, this reflects reality - that black students were over-represented to begin with. Different factors that some schools are using like recruiting from rural areas and parental wealth do increase diverse representation in a more equitable and deserving way.
