Or, to quote Dickens “fellow passengers to the grave”. My sympathies to those dealing with grief. I think I’m still processing my father’s premature death in 2015 (mesothelioma).

Many companies now use automated CV / resume tracking systems, and if the format of your CV is not correct you could get dropped based on that alone. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/resumes-cover-letters/ats-resume-template

Congratulations .... but beware the difficulty of re-entering the workforce later on. My wife (RF design engineer) stayed home with our daughter (learning disabled - childcare /after school would not have worked), and 18 years later her CV was so ancient she would have had to go back to college...

I think there is precisely zero need for any kind of scan or analysis to know that Trumps brain is severely malfunctioning. I don't believe having it confirmed by the medical establishment would make the slightest difference to his base. I'm also not sure it would sway the undecided voters...

Mechanical systems can also fail and kill you. Stuck throttle cables, for example. I just don't accept that software is the weak link "because it's software". Anyone who thinks that is about 20 years behind the state of the art in terms of safety critical software development.

Again, this is a solved problem. The various ECUs in the car will have sufficient non-volatlle storage for multiple copies of the firmware. New images are downloaded and validated, most likely using secure boot, based on public key cryptography, before they are applied. The process of...

So you'll never fly anywhere then. Nor go to the hospital where there are safety critical machines running ......yikes ..... software. Hardware also has faults - faults that can develop over time. Safety critical software has a long history (e.g. see MISRA-C). I don't have a car with a screen...

Should it have gone this way ? No. Was it expected ? I'm afraid, yes. The bigger question is whether the SC will grant Trump immunity or delay the decision to prevent the other legal cases from being heard before the election.

It looks totally inappropriate. Mayyybee this would have been OK in the 1980s or 90s - but for someone in CH's position it shows an incredible lack of judgement. He's in his 50s and should know better than to let his loins do the thinking.

It's just missing "Idiocracy".

SOME US voters have lost the plot. Specifically the MAGA right, and some on the left (who seem to think that an effective way to punish Biden for his mishandling of Israel is to pave the way for a second term for Trump). Similar foolishness as spouted by Lexiters prior to the Brexit vote. The...

Ezra Klein makes a persuasive case that the Democrats could pick a candidate at their convention: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/democrats-have-a-better-option-than-biden/id1548604447?i=1000645559771 I was skeptical, but he made a persuasive case, and he's a fan of Biden. To paraphrase...

I don't care for her, but Nikki Haley is nobody's fool, so she must believe, and/or have been advised, that Trump's legal troubles will ultimately prevent him from running.

Seems like a decent guy and I agree completely with his views on the depravity of both the Tories and Braverman. Good luck to him.

A Freudian slip there !?
