It also depends on the PROBABILITY of the answer being correct or incorrect. The fact is that if you ask for answers from humans you would find the same effect -- incorrect answers would have the same confidence as correct ones.

Opinion | Trump Wants More Jobs for Americans. He’s Getting More Robots Instead.

"Many of the jobs performed by immigrants are best understood as a kind of mirage. They exist only because immigrants are available to perform them."

I expect if we just left the ocean alone for 100 years there would be a lot more to discover.

Colleges See Major Racial Shifts in Student Enrollment

The shift is: A lot fewer black and hispanic people in top schools. The power structure reasserts itself.

Helen was from Troy?

Amongst the curses of the world, how big a curse is the "out of office" email?

Selection bias will be overwhelming for this one.

Melania review – Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

You just know that every word of this review is true.

Amazon’s Promotion of ‘Melania’ Has Critics Questioning Its Motives

Strange headline. I don't believe anybody is questioning Amazon's motives.

Thanks for the tip

Still is a "pretty good" grammar school. One of the best in the country.

Like the days of Woody Guthrie.

I very much want to see this

Perhaps its like Murder on the Orient Express, with everyone having a hand in the text.

Thought this was just a joke when I saw the meme. Well or course it is in one sense, but nonetheless someone has written a book with this thesis. This will no doubt put the Shakespeare authorship "controversy" to rest for some time

Trump Urges Antigovernment Protesters in Iran to ‘Take Over’

I feel that we do not take enough cognizance of how Trump encouraged the Iranian protestors and promised help was on the way. What an incredible betrayal.

Philip Glass Withdraws From Kennedy Center, as Its Symphony Vows to Play On

Resistance and obeisance

I don't understand why Trump/Amazon didn't just hire people to attend. They surely knew what would happen. Why spend all this money on a vanity project and not follow through?

Melania documentary struggles in UK cinemas as Vue admits sales are ‘soft’ Only one ticket sold for premiere of film about US first lady at Vue’s flagship London branch as insiders question launch strategy

Every sentence of this article is embarrassing. And hilarious. It is the most Susan Alexander Kane thing that has ever happened.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to join the "Peace Board" — but could not attend today’s signing ceremony as he’s wanted by the ICC for war crimes.

Unfortunately does not seem like a compliment any more.

This is great

UK drops target for international student recruitment Government to encourage education providers to open campuses overseas as it focuses on reducing migration

In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is...

So interesting that Trump's favourite film is supposed to be Citizen Kane. He seems to have missed the central theme and took it as a guide to life. What does Melania think?

What? Trees are not living?

I guess this is supposed to be about the Nobel Peace Prize exchange. But the peace prize is worse, because it has been offered and accepted as a bribe, although whether it will "work" is yet to be seen.

Jenrick tells BBC his defection to Reform not about personal ambition and will 'unite the right' In an exclusive interview with Laura Kuenssberg, he says he made the final decision to defect over Christmas.
