@AhedMemas Our education system shares a part of responsibility in this. From the youngest age we are taught to value perfection. Grades don't reward making mistakes and learning from them, they value consistency. This dissuades students from adopting a growth mindset, to their detriment.
Beyond the overtime issues, I once read a nurse’s account of all the disrespect she receives on a daily basis and I still can’t believe the amount of people that resort to verbally abusing our service workers. How can we do better as a society? #ENCS282 https://t.co/W1FG34O9Fb
@TurkNawar @GregoryMcKeown This is an interesting thought. I don't think it's a form of "thinking small" but rather a way to tackle things step by step. You don't have to lose sight of the big picture, it should keep driving you forward, but the way there is paved with little victories, not a single effort
Some employers are gradually accepting that the way we work might be reaching a turning point as remote workers continue being productive while enjoying higher quality of life. What about you? Would you prefer remote, hybrid, or in-office work? #ENCS282 https://t.co/gW8ZDnlpcj
@AnastasiaSavva5 The vaccine promotes herd immunity which reduces the spread of the virus in general. The more spread happens the more a population becomes a cesspool for variants that could undo our efforts. The necessity is simply to save lives. Sadly this isn’t a priority for some people.
From 2022 onwards French breeders will have to install machines to detect the sex of chicks before they hatch instead of ruthlessly killing them as hatchlings. This is great news for the humane treatment of animals in the farming industry! #ENCS282 https://t.co/aGb8t4d7FY
This artificial heart is transplanted as a bridge procedure to keep the patient alive until the availability of a viable donor heart. It is powered by 9lbs of gear and rechargeable external batteries that last 4h. Would you undergo this procedure? #ENCS282 https://t.co/yu2rJPU5iD
Using deepfake AI to let the dead speak again? What is your stance on this ethical issue? I think this is acceptable use of the technology as long as there is certainty that the person actually uttered the words and it is approved by the family #ENCS282 https://t.co/8Tt6CYWBQw
Only 25% of iOS users give apps their permission to track their behavior. This speaks loud and clear about the importance users give to their data privacy, to the detriment of advertisers. Will we see a shift in the way ads are delivered to us? #ENCS282 https://t.co/o74hRryqcs
Will the Habs make the playoffs next season? Why or why not? Feel free to comment on what the team means to you and / or the Quebecer culture. #encs282
