There will always be corner cases. Is straße the same file as strasse?

Well, yes and no... should the system pretend that somehow, ß is the capital version of ss?

Case insensitivity worked in the cave days when there was only ACSII and non-English speaking countries were a myth.

That plus the decision to make the (hiddden) extension semantically meaningful by having it decide what actually happens when you click it was the most stupid decision ever in the realm of user interfaces. With the extensions hidden, you actually can't know if you're running an unknown exe, or starting an image viewer that will show a jpg. Either one without the other would be OK(-ish) and could have saved billions of dollars in lost productivity.

That's the problem. Wikipedia contains too many inconvenient truths and tends to weed out the administration's attempts to cram it with propaganda.

This isn't about funding, this is about 501c tax exempt status for non-profit organizations.

I'm pretty sure we don't tax Pravda.

More importantly, offer long term job stability and a golden parachute. It's necessary, because otherwise a long stent of COBOL on a resume is an express ticket to the round file. If they're going to get developers to learn COBOL, they'll need to offer them the last job they'll even need.

I'm fine with offices being made more comfortable, but even the title of TFA claims it is to convince people who WFH to RTO.

That is, ever larger moves to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I'm sure you can find a recording of that to put on a loop at home.

Many employers seem to prefer "grind 'em till you find 'em" over synchro.

True, but there is already a solution in work from home. Everyone gets a window and it costs the employer nothing.

You're measuring the wrong thing. The silver spoon will easily fail up with or without a good education. His final outcom is more a measure of nepotism than the quality of the school.

The well motivated lower middle class kid whose parents can't afford a consultant or tutors (and perhaps can't even help with homework) is a lot more likely to actually benefit from a quality school.

Perhaps an essay provides useful metrics, but that will only work if the right information is derived from the essays. Apparently that has devolved into a bunch of poor heroic me essays getting the best results. An interview (even a video interview) could do a lot to weed out insincere ghost written essays.

The other cases of animal to human transmission happened in the absence of the Count Chocula, Trix, OJ combo, but obviously, now that that combo is prsent in the cafe across the street, it becomes by far more likely as a cause?

Logic and reality don't work that way.

Your claim only bolsters the findings in the cases of transmission from animals. Which remains the more likely explaination by virtue of having actually happened before.

Every time I hear about RFGK, I think of the Wall. The part where the worms ate into his brain and then he turned Nazi.

So you're saying the only lab leak you can find was documented NOT to have spread to anyone outside of the lab.

Two theories presented. Neither can be proven. So, do you go with the one that has never happened before anywhere, or the one that has been documented on several occasions? Otherwise, I say it's because someone mixed Count Chocula and Trix with a glass of OJ and God was so disgusted he created COVID as punishment. You can't disprove it, now can you?
