Why not something like "those things we can solve with Newton"? As you note Newton is broadly applicable; one would hope, given how popular the need to invert an exponent is, that something better (faster, more stable) if more specific than Newton might be created. It is hard to study a desired hypothetical operation without giving it a name.
On a related note, how come we don't all already have the names of the 4th order iterative operation (iterated exponents) and its inverse in our heads? Don't they deserve consideration? Perhaps, but nature doesn't seem to hand us instances of those operations very often. We seemingly don't need them to build a bridge or solve some other common practical engineering problem. I imagine that is why they fail to appear in high school algebra courses.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. During Rand's tenure Moz was a subscription business selling access to marketing analytics tools. Those tools focused on the structure of the clients' sites themselves rather than any analytics they might have consumed.
Source: I worked at Moz for several of those years, and helped maintain those tools.
Very occasionally I need to bounce the cellular connection, I suspect because I land on an unsupported band/channel. Otherwise LineageOS runs on it like a charm.
Would that start an arms race causing the students to work harder to find the right answers? Mission accomplished.
Without even considering the early adopter benefit, this pricing update for me is a nothing-burger.
It falls down (of course) at the larger list of secondary use cases many take for granted. For me it was mobile navigation, though it would also still hard crash noticeably often. I do expect the crashes at least to be fixed next time I look.
I gave postmarketos a shot for 6 months or so, and sadly I have to agree that it's not ready for daily driving, even by experienced users.
This fairphone 4 on the other hand with lineage 20 looks like it will keep me going for a few more years.

Would Excel, if it _did_ choose to embrace a "natural" macro syntax?
Remember when CGI movies were all stuck in the uncanny valley? Turns out language has a valley too.
Given that, I suppose I could empathize with a hypothetical user who cares about search quality but finds $7 lattes prohibitively expensive. For the rest of us price as a counter argument just seems silly.
Or here's another hot take: the masking did not work. What if there is more gender signal in speech than just in voice pitch?
I don't see any mention of explicitly asking interviewers what gender they perceived the interviewee to be, and with what confidence.
For actual chips, SPI programmer clips have been great. For test pads, I just ordered one of these [1], which will hopefully work just a well.
The modem lacks the firmware for VoLTE which is now becoming required in the US as the 3G towers are being retired.
It's being retired for a pine phone. So far postmarketos is delightful, VoLTE works, and we're about to see if waydroid is going to play ball.
