I don't see the point of this. He's not going to have a long career as a researcher so why dedicate resources trying to train him to become one? In my country typically being one year behind already counts strongly against you.

I have grudgingly accepted the fact that I'll never be hired unless it's on the cheap. And I already have a job. So although I still talk to recruiters occasionally I never end up pursuing an opportunity anymore. The risk of loss

I find it really strange a company can pursue criminal cases against an individual. I don't really care for activists but it just seems asymmetric. You can't after all pursue criminal charges against a company. I don't think

I used to like bookstores.i loved the old Donner in Rotterdam(the new one is a big downgrade). But since moving from there and also living far from the center it increasingly didn't make much sense anymore to go to a bookstore. Now on

I'm aware of this kind of research existing. I guess my personal experience does not count as a scientific work. However it's not study on math and math is not normal reading. It's anything but. You need to understand every s

Copying stuff by hand or otherwise focuses you on writing not reading. Personally I felt experimentation with this method set me back in my studies.

Indeed the real underlying reason is were all humans, all equal and everyone deserves quality healthcare.

The only reason some countries have public health care in the first place care is so society isn't completely squeezed for every bit of cash by the collective of medical practitioners. If I were a nurse or doctor I'd strike agains

One thing I caught from the article was if you feel nerdy do this and be less of a nerd. I'm sure it's not intentional but it did make me want to manage expectations.

I did a bunch of similar things and concluded it didn't matter so much. I can attend as many workshops as I want but it won't make me a more likeable character. The one important thing self improvement taught me is to reject self

I'd expect the battery performance to suffer. Android did a lot of things to optimize that vis a vis 'normal' linux.

As a developer you're often seen as a one trick pony who is destined to stay at the bottom. If I get to make it to CEO that would be far beyond my wildest dreams.

Nobody here wears a bicycle helmet unless he or she is a recreational rider who rides at high speeds. Helmets can help against high speed crash. Most commuters ride at low speeds. Helmets are inconvenient and pressure to increase helmet usa

The one thing I don't understand is this mentality of self sacrifice that to me seems core to all this. 'who am I but a privileged white chic taking up space', to me, says all. You are never a privileged space taker. You&#x27

I'm guessing governments will find a way to relieve pressure to educate and invest in children at some point, starting with China's attempt to curb private education, but that's not enough. They will have to dismantle the pub

Most developers at the consultancy I work for work a normal work week, don't make reports, have normal (meaning neither ancient nor state of the art) dev practice. And there is nothing fraternity like about it, nor is there a climb the

It will have to be done at some point. It's also an unjust policy to leave these ice vehicles riding around because not everybody is allowed to drive but everybody suffers the loss of life due to pollution. Before there was no alternat

I suppose it beats them thinking 'hey remote is great, why don't we start hiring more aggressively in Ukraine instead of Redmond'. If everything is remote companies won't have to pay non-remote wages anymore.

Sounds an awful lot like what I perceived from the media of the Islamic state. I think it's a kind of mentality that, though brave, needs to be stamped out thoroughly.

Weightlifting concerns aside (I think a man's need to look good is a very legitimate concern) very high protein is linked to decreased life expectancy and cancer. So even if it doesn't cause belly flop it's still not healthy.

There are some very hard limits to taking students in too. You don't want to be a student after the covid induced decline in demand is over. Especially not if you are not from here. The regulation exempt SSH will put you in a room with

I'm very unhappy about this. It won't be possible to buy a reasonable retirement income anymore and all the profits of the property sector will flow toward those deep pocketed property firms who have the right political connection

Not so smart of Google. Ninety nine percent of their users won't use them and the ones that do are likely to be programmers. Maybe their own people. They have an outsize influence on what gets used and more importantly what gets suppor
