I confirm this diagnosis. The UIs are always clunky, disorganized, and kinda ugly. But they work well enough. I guess UIs are opinionated enough that we probably all customize them anyway. Maybe the agents know this so don't bother putting too much effort in? (Deep thought of the day: acquired)

That list is beautifully concise. I don't follow the news too closely since it is infuriating, but there were only 2 or 3 which I didn't know the rough outline.

I had this exact problem and came to the same conclusion. But for the exam, give them code and ask what it does, or give broken code and ask where the error is. Waaay less marking. I only asked for 3 small functions written by hand and that was still 90% of the effort to mark. But the marks felt valid in the end, so the process seemed to work.

Doesn't all the surveillance concern go away if we just remove license plates from cars? Our plates identify us nearly perfectly.

"Capitalism tries to deliver the worst possible version for the highest possible price" This is brilliant. So much information packed into one sentence.

We should start with a sustainable colony _on_ earth as a proof of concept. :-)

I think the question is "why do sites put up cookie banners when the only option is Accept?" Gdpr requires an option to opt out, so who are they try to appease here? I sometimes think they do it because people have come expect them.
