Up until very recently all train route planning in Sweden was done manually with huge sheets of paper and rulers. Scheduling trains is a very hard problem due to the inability for one train to pass another in many places and the constantly high congestion. Any change in the schedule affects basically the entire rail network.
In computer science it belongs to the class of “NP-hard” problems which are intractable to solve optimally. There are various approximate methods that can be employed to get something that’s almost always good enough.


Well I meant educated in ethics


Another approach might be to only hire nurses who are already educated


I think you’re strawmanning this. I didn’t say you are obligated to maximize your health. But that’s different from knowingly making yourself ill.
In Sweden we spend a lot of resources treating people for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is almost exclusively the result of smoking. I think it’s wrong to smoke given how much it costs fellow tax payers and how it takes away resources from people who suffer from ailments that are not a result of their actions.
That said, everyone deserves compassion and it’s also wrong not to help people who are suffering regardless of the reason. But that’s part of what makes it bad to knowingly hurt yourself - you’re imposing an obligation onto other people.


Also it’s likely to make you sick and then you become a liability to your community = immoral.
For real. I don’t get what people see in those books. Her writing is insufferable.
They are not your friend but they are also not your manager’s friend. They’re there to protect the corporation, the CEO and the board. If your manager is doing something that can get the company in legal trouble then HR can absolutely shed the manager. Especially if you demonstrate that you’re building a solid case (e.g. documenting each incident while memory is fresh).
I don’t think that needs to be the case. At least in Sweden where I live, local laws apply whether you do something IRL or on the internet. For example slander is still slander even if you post it on Facebook. Meta doesn’t need to get involved any more than the phone operator or post office does.
This is the reason digital infrastructure should be controlled by the commons. And punishment for misbehaving users should be decided by the state according to due process in a procedurally fair manner, not by corporations that seek to maximize profits.
Hold on, are you saying that poor graphics fidelity makes you actually want to puke?


Well it was news to me


Fox trying hard to make republicans dumber, as always


Oh no!
Anyway…
There’s enough food in the world to feed every person currently alive. So I don’t think it makes sense to say that the cause of world hunger is that there are too many people.
Just one catch: the reason we have world hunger is not the number of people or a shortage of food. It’s just politics, power abuse and warfare. Unless those dynamics change we could be a tenth of the current world population and still have famine.
I mean you could look these things up together
If you have to proofread when deploying you’re doing things wrong


Gotta earn that FIFA peace prize
Teaching others is one of the best ways to learn. There are levels of hell though. E.g. try teaching MAGA anything about the scientific method.
