Lawmakers in Virginia removed the term “homosexuality” from the state’s definition of “sexual conduct” that is used in a number of laws, including the law that requires schools to inform parents of sexually explicit materials used in classrooms.

The guidelines referenced the state code’s definition of sexual conduct as “actual or…
SGI is making some noise about their work in defining how loud is too loud for vehicles in Saskatchewan.
Previously, no exact definition was set for when a vehicle was too loud, with drivers and enforcement officers having to guess.

Like the cold breeze that found its way through the cracks in our living room window despite the heavy curtains being drawn failed to stop it, my active mind stopped asking questions about the difference between the “truth” my culture offered me and the reality that contradicted it from seeing in.
I don’t know when I first felt it, but this fog of unanswered questions about things I’d witnessed…

Machine learning, a potent field within artificial intelligence, empowers computers to learn from data and autonomously make predictions or decisions, without the need for explicit programming. It focuses on the development of algorithms and models that can automatically identify patterns, extract insights, and make informed predictions based on large datasets. By leveraging statistical techniques, mathematical optimization, and computational power, machine learning algorithms can process vast amounts of data and uncover complex relationships and trends.
Machine learning has revolutionized various industries, including healthcare, finance, marketing, and transportation. It is employed in diverse applications such as image…

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., shared a tense exchange with Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona on Tuesday after Cardona repeatedly refused to define “woman” or definitively explain the extent of “equal access” for transgender students under the Biden administration’s new Title IX rules .
Cardona appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to defend his proposed change to Title IX that would make it illegal for schools to broadly ban transgender students from competing on sports teams that don’t align with their sex assigned at birth.
Clyde asked Cardona to defend the proposal by first defining “what is a woman.”
Cardona dodged…
Education is a topic that many people are currently talking about, particularly the funding of public education in the State of Texas as the legislature gets underway.
