A firm with a reputation for recommending deep cuts and layoffs has been hired as a consultant to review Nova Scotia's universities - Halifax Examiner
I don't like that university programs are having to justify themselves merely in terms of the jobs that students get after graduation.

If you allow Nova Scotia Power to make automatic withdrawals from your account, a couple thoughts: 1) Bless your soul. You are too pure for this world. 2) Revoke permission. Tout suite.
Nova Scotia Power billed customer $500 for a cottage that’s had power shut off for a year | CBC News
Eric Orde, 89, says the power bill for the cottage he’s owned outside of Annapolis Royal for 35 years is usually around $50 — not $500 — when it's not being used.

A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful.
They agreed it was unfair.

Never felt more seen in a thread from a fellow educator. The proportion of my students that are unable (unwilling?) to follow written instructions is very nearly 100% in labs now. This is a dramatic, extremely concerning, change over the last few years and nothing I do to mitigate this has helped.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

As I have said to students nowadays, the most important thing one learns in school is how to learn, and using LLMs completely defeats that objective. The process matters.
You don't use a fork lift the gym. The immediate result—weights up in the air—is not always the key reason to do something.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

District 8 has had a rough go. Halifax explosion, "urban renewal" highways, Africville, and now suffering dilapidated community centers so suburbanites can have free parking.
According to the city's model, D8 generates something like a $45m surplus annually.
On a 30 year annualization, the long-waited Needham Centre would be ~$1.6M per year.
Or: North End Halifax is completely capable of just buying itself nice things without anyone else being involved.
