Commentary about those things I find interesting.
Do me a favor and click through to the Facebook post for a missing person and check to see if they are in fact still missing.
I am a fan of getting out the word to find someone who is missing. But, I also check before sharing it myself because why ask people to be on the lookout when the person has already been found?
Work has a wellness program. One component involves a website that purports to educate users about healthy eating. The funny thing to me is that I was not going to participate at all until I found out that had potentially an allergy issue. So, I thought, why not try it? Maybe it can provide some ideas on things I can eat that are healthy?
Well, apparently healthy foods are allergy foods. It recommends eating more fish, nuts, soy, eggs, cheese*, whole wheat instead of unhealthy foods. Exactly the things that are likely allergens.
Yes, I know it is cow’s milk that is a possible allergen, so goat’s or sheep’s milk likely is fine.
I will not lie, if there had been a Space Force recruitment station when I graduated high school, then there is no doubt in my mind that I would have signed up. It was extremely tempting to me to join the Air Force back then.
I have the default browser set to Chrome in the Windows OS. So, when I click a link in Outlook, it opens in Chrome. So, any time an application opens Internet Explorer, it is obviously something weird.
Okay, confession time, it makes me wonder if I am computer illiterate every time IE opens.
Since Edge will be three years old this coming July, I kind of expected the switch by now. Why are Microsoft applications opening links in anything other than the default browser? And why are they picking IE instead of Edge?
I thought I would fix the issue by uninstalling IE. In Control Panel > Programs > Turn features on and off, one can choose whether IE is installed. Unfortunately, that seems to have broken the ability of programs to use the default browser. Reinstalling IE fixed that.
A common complaint the PotUS has is that Democrats should agree with him. He rails on Twitter about this lack of support.
The Russian meddling in the 2016 elections was designed to target certain groups of people to discourage them from voting. We were already divided. The meddling exacerbated it. So, Democrats would hate Trump even more because of it.
If he wants a real chance at getting Democratic voters to agree with him, then he needs to reverse the effects of the Russian Effect.
On the surface, it may seem like an easy question. Data Owners typically think this has an easy answer.
If their data followed a very simplistic model, then it would have an easy answer. Just “select count(*) from table;” and report the value.
Unfortunately for Data Custodians, the data is often organized in relational data structures. In my case, we almost always buy a product and are not provided or not allowed to see schema documentation. So, this question requires making judgment calls.
It is funny to me how many rivalries UGA football has:
Since Atlanta is the closest metropolitan area to UGA, there is a strong crossover of fandom with the Atlanta Falcons NFL team. The funny thing is that all those rival teams have quality talent, so some of the players are going to end up drafted into the NFL. So, the odds are a player UGA fans hated for hurting them as a college player could become a beloved player for the Falcons.
That is how the NFL draft cookies crumble.
Some topics for talking about the work prospects for G.
I know he watches CGP Grey, so this is probably what prompted the question.
The concern should not be the number of jobs, but whether the remaining jobs will offer a good standard of living. “What is the comparative advantage of human labor in an increasingly automated world.” Choose a career that 1) has a body of expertise where human judgment is most scarce and 2) has a human interaction.
15 Jobs that will disappear in next 20 years because of AI
Some economists are not worried as we’ve seen automation anxiety all over the last 100 years. It is easy to see which jobs will disappear. It is harder to see the jobs which is be spawned. My job today barely existed when I was G’s age.
