@alexusherhesa.bsky.social mentioned in this week's Re:University conference that one thing institutions should consider right now is how they can support Canada's military, and Canada itself. This is a good example, in my view.

I think you have a point, but also note the lines are blurring quickly. Just about impossible to do a Google search now without being greeted with AI as the first thing (which fortunately is a lot better than it was at launch)

wonder If our online streaming tax evens it out.
Pretty amusing that the chopped part of the episode went to air in Canada. I would have figured CBS had tighter controls on that but I guess this is up there with younger me being surprised so many organizations run on spreadsheets.

I guess this gets at the cranial part but you’d think they could leverage data from OCAS and OUAC to make credible predictions early enough that permits could be reallocated earlier in the process than it seems they are now. There are good forecasters out there too.

I always find it fascinating how differently financial data is tracked. It always feel like accounting rules should minimize the differences and it’s nearly always not true.
