This question is orthogonal to the question of whether ABA accreditation is beneficial.

This is a better article on the topic explaining that the ABA's requirements for different forms of diversity oppose the administration's ban on DEI. It also points out that this c…

My longest employment stint was at such a company and it was a very good experience for me. That said, even though I worked at such a company for a while, I don't have a very good …

Organizations such as the ACLU and the American Red Cross are registered organizations and I doubt you'd advocate for restricting or redefining their civil rights. Perhaps you'd dr…

There are certainly legitimate concerns about the influence of Amazon and other large corporations, but the solution is not so simple as what you suggest. Corporations are associat…

As a previous comment noted, Elastic _did_ take them to court over the trademark and it was _not_ thrown out: https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-and-amazon-reach-agreeme...

I've found my moderately-priced Eaton 5S 1500 unit to perform considerably better than any of the non-pro APC models I used before it.

This. I finally switched from using various APC models to an Eaton 5S 1500 unit for my desktop and a couple peripherals and it's much better while still being comparably priced.

I would say that infrequently used tools are an especially good choice for battery-powered cordless tools when the alternative is typically a tool powered by a gas small engine. Fo…

This is most definitely true, but I think it highlights the mistaken idea that individual healthcare is a commodity. I think we all recognize that an excellent home builder, auto m…

Their X Compact line of phones was great with high-end SoCs and incredible battery life but unfortunately, they haven't released any new phones in that line for several years so th…

Doesn't appear to be available yet for Chrome in the Chrome Web Store or for Android in the Google Play Store, either. :(

Taking this approach to using a database is always a judgement call, but putting logic in the database is probably useful a lot more often than the "nine times out of ten" that the…

I've operated MySQL in production at different scales ranging up to _very_ large and as such, I place a lot of emphasis on how well that can be done. I posted some of this a couple…

It's certainly an accomplishment to achieve a highly productive per capita economy, but I don't think it's quite the slight on the US when the four countries with higher productivi…

I've experienced a very similar effect. The health ROI on your time investment with strength-focused training is pretty incredible. If you could bottle it up and sell it, you'd be …

This article is focused on growth in muscle _size_ over growth in muscle _strength_. The two are related, but it's pretty well-established that you can bias your training towards o…

In the theme of the OP and by way of response, I've been lifting weights for decades but only in the last couple years realized that gloves were detrimental to lifting. They add a …

Yep, this prompted me to uninstall the snap version of Firefox that was installed by default in Ubuntu 22.04 and reinstall it from the Standard Ubuntu repository. Score minus one f…

You're right that $200K won't buy a house with a pool in most desirable parts of Texas, but your quip about $1M houses in Frisco is misleading. Frisco is not just a "random suburb …

My work issues me a MBP that I can't stand, so finding a way to access it remotely has been a priority. For CLI apps, I SSH into it from a Linux machine, but for GUI apps, I've tri…

You're right about more gears in auto transmissions helping to keep the engine at its ideal RPM for torque. There are still more mechanical losses in an auto transmissions since th…

In terms of technological advances, the automatic transmission is a tenuous improvement over the manual transmission. It costs more to manufacture and service and it performs less …

In addition to the manufacturer, the type of appliance and its manufacture date really matters. I have an LG front-loading washing machine from the late 2000s that has been working…
