College student put on academic probation for using Grammarly: ‘AI violation’
  • Same, and discussed with my lecturers.

    Especially 1st year business - we use the same text book as the last 10 years (just different versions), where nothing has really changed in the last 30 odd years, using the same template that runs through 600 odd students a year, where nearly every student uses the same easy three references that we used in class.

    Its new to you, but no one is going to have an original idea or anything revolutionary in that assessment.

  • Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’”
  • Interesting we use Taylor swift as a discussion point on supply/demand for first year economics.

    Effectively, there is a shortage of tickets vs demand so those at the higher end of the demand line can buy for ridiculous prices, everyone else misses out.

    So they tried a lottery system - you get a ticket, if your number comes up you buy at a lower price as less people can now buy. Doesn't work because scalpers push in as well, then sell to those with a higher WTP, pocket the difference, price doesnt change and venue/her miss out.

    So she tried a point system- buy her cd, follow on insta, join fan club, get points, higher points get early access to lower priced tickets, actual fans get tickets and not worth effort for scalpers. But she got hauled over the coals for turning it into a popularity contest and had to stop it.

    And now here we are.

  • X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad
  • I would follow on from you by saying removing plastic is the better of the options anyway. Good old free will means you can't force people to choose to use less plastic and alternatives, but you can force yourself to go and do something about it - we can't even make them use a bloody rubbish bin.

    I mean, how would you even go about it? Lobby governments against organizations with much bigger pockets, advertising campaigns to tell us what we already know, start a political party?? Cleaning beaches already showed what we as people are doing and what we can do.

  • LW Holiday Logos
  • Little late to the party, but Matariki (Maori new year - ma - ta - ri - ki) would be nice to have. Little difficult to implement as its day changes each year, but its a holiday that has only recently come to the forefront in NZ after a century of being suppressed or ignored, and we have only had one public holiday of it since it started again. Late june/early July, usually a Friday.
