Are they? Or do they just have superior recall? Or maybe lack test-taking anxiety? Or write or type quicker or...?

Lots of reasons a slow student can be just as smart or smarter than a fast one.

Acceptable is different from being an accurate assessment of knowledge. The question is what is the teacher attempting to measure?

Because those folks don't move the needle on sales. They're buying one, maybe two firesticks and using them OOB. I'd bet a significant portion of sales go to people 'jailbreaking' them and buying in bulk.

Agreed. They won by having the best product. And it wasn't even close.

One thing I'd point out is that there are only so many ways to write a document or build a spreadsheet. There are a ton of business processes that are custom enough to that org that they have to decide to go custom, change their process, or deal with the inefficiency of not having a technical solution that accomplishes the goal easily.

Lotus Notes is an example of that custom software niche that took off and spawned a successful consulting ecosystem around it too.

I don't think we use CGMs enough. There's nothing that tells you more about your food choice than the way your blood sugar reacts after you eat it. Teaching that can actually help folks manage their weight better because they can see in real time what's a good dietary choice vs a bad one.

And while blood sugar isn't the only metric for healthy eating, it's significant enough that management of it will show measurable increases to one's health.
