    1. Plants are natural. Plants are normal.

      I understand but question his thinking. It's more of saying we can't put someone on death row because he is still human, which is true, but what makes something as natural to it's predecessor, I would say it's based on the value of negative influence it could rotationally have. Simply, is the author saying this because of his experience with it himself?

    1. Three decades of complacency has meant technology on its own cannot now cut emissions fast enough. A second, accompanying phase, must be the rapid reduction of energy and material consumption

      It is important to note, that employers have the right to request an applicant's residence address, though they can opt to not collect it until the final stages of the application process.

    2. Black and Latino applicants, who make up about 80% of the candidates applying for sales jobs

      If these groups are truely a minority (look up Black/Latino vs White population statistics) in this country, then the fact that even despite the disparaging factors laid out earlier, they make up 4/5ths of all applications should send a signal to you that these groups might have passion for the field

      (Though avoid profiling them, "Oh you're Latino, so you must want to work in retail.")

    3. data from the résumés of current and past employees

      The data she is working with is based only on employees that have been there.

      If minoirities we're represented in the past, then their patterns won't be well represented in the future.

      Besides, current employees have been leaving frequently. I think their data should be used with caution.

    4. the company’s salesperson attrition rate falls by nearly 15%

      While an improvement, it isn't a guarantee that this was all the success that could be garnered vs a more inclusive algorithm.

      With a greater field of candidates to chose from (since 80% of applications aren't white), their is bound to be a selection from them that could be a good match.

An association that’s been shown in multiple studies- whether this increase is due to more diabetes or SARS2 precipitating diabetic keto-acidosis allowing these to be diagnosed is not known.

    1. She knows not what the curse may be,

      In this stanza, the lady of Shallot sits in a tower, weaving a tapestry. A curse of some sorts looms on her, but because she is unaware of what the curse is, she doesn't worry and continues weaving. This poem was published in 1832, a year after the death of Tennyson's father, and a year before the sudden death of his close friend. Although Tennyson cant see into the future at the time of writing this, the "looming curse" certainly sounds like it relates to one of the losses he experienced when the poem was published.

However those suggesting it should be in the html because of this are missing the fact browsers use css when building the page initially. If they didn't the page would have to be redrawn for floated elements, specified padding, margins etc.

      So you should overseed your sod after transplanting.

    1. My preference here is biased by the fact that I spend everyday at work building web components, so Svelte's approach feels very familiar to slots in web components.

      first sighting: That <template>/<slot> is part of HTML standard and the reason Svelte uses similar/same syntax is probably because it was trying to make it match / based on that syntax (as they did with other areas of the syntax, some of it even JS/JSX-like, but more leaning towards HTML-like) so that it's familiar and consistent across platforms.

    1. Model on tl,t,t� which to form our selves. Or ruther to imitate

      Imitation makes another appearance, which (as mholder pointed out with Vico) "was one of the dominant methods of instruction in rhetoric up through the Enlightenment".

      I think imitation is particularly important in terms of women's education, as women often would have little to go by but a model, specifically one observed (over ones read about).

    1. sten to students discuss the classes they hoped to get, and visit departments to watch faculty advising students on course selection. She would want to observe secretaries typing, janitors sweeping, and maintenance personnel plowing snow from walks.

      If she observed from the points of view of so many people on the campus, she would not gain the full perspective of a single group of people: she could become biased or have knowledge that not everyone she's observing has access to. Researching the school from so many points of view could backfire and create a different kind of outside opinion.

    1. Interdependence and Regeneration2c5c7 A very important feature to be noted from the discussion in this section bears upon the interdependence among the various types of structuring which are involved in the H-LAM/T system, where the capability for doing each type of structuring is dependent upon the capability for doing one or more of the other types of structuring. (Assuming that the physical structuring of the system remains basically unchanged during the system's operation, we exclude its dependence upon other factors in this discussion.) 2c5c7a This interdependence actually has a cyclic, regenerative nature to it which is very significant to us. We have seen how the capability for mental structuring is finally dependent, down the chain, upon the process structuring (human, artifact, composite) that enables symbol-structure manipulation. But it also is evident that the process structuring is dependent not only upon basic human and artifact process capabilities, but upon the ability of the human to learn how to execute processes--and no less important, upon the ability of the human to select, organize, and modify processes from his repertoire to structure a higher-order process that he can execute. Thus, a capability for structuring and executing processes is partially dependent upon the human's mental structuring, which in turn is partially dependent upon his process structuring (through concept and symbol structuring), which is partially dependent upon his mental structuring, etc. 2c5c7b All of this means that a significant improvement in symbol-structure manipulation through better process structuring (initially perhaps through much better artifacts) should enable us to develop improvements in concept and mental-structure manipulations that can in turn enable us to organize and execute symbol-manipulation processes of increased power. To most people who initially consider the possibilities for computer-like devices augmenting the human intellect, it is only the one-pass improvement that comes to mind, which presents a picture that is relatively barren compared to that which emerges when one considers this regenerative interaction. 2c5c7c We can confidently expect the development of much more powerful concepts pertaining to the manner in which symbol structures can be manipulated and portrayed, and correspondingly more complex manipulation processes that in the first pass would have been beyond the human's power to organize and execute without the better symbol, concept, and mental structuring which his augmented system provided him. These new concepts and processes, beyond our present capabilities to use and thus never developed, will provide a tremendous increased-capability payoff in the future development of our augmentation means.

      I think these notions of interdependence and regeneration are a very key observation.
