Oslo is a very clean city, but it also feels a lot busier now than it looks in these pictures.

A lot of the photos were taken around the parliament buildings, the royal palace, and the national theatre, which may explain why the streets are so clean and the standard of attire is so high.

Single payer systems are popular and work well, but you are right that it is not the only solution. Countries like Germany use heavy regulation to manage the healthcare system. However, I don't think Americans would accept this level of "government interference".
Yeah, I still have somewhere a CPD-G400 monitor that used a Trinitron tube and IIRC there were two of them, in the manual they called them "damper wires" and it was related to the use of an aperture grille instead of a slot mask or something like that...

Top 4 Reasons Companies Won't Fix Their Database Issues
Not really.

We don't "see" with our eyes, we see with our brain, based on input received from the eyes. The brain itself is perfectly capable of constructing a 3D representation based on the two planar projections that are registered by the eyes.

What makes something 3D, rather than 2D or 2.5D, is that it can be observed from different angles by multiple observers at the same time. It's a fairly trivial test, and this fails it. That doesn't mean its not cool, but it does mean it's not 3D and calling it 3D is plain wrong. Especially when it's something you're publishing a paper about in a scientific publication. This is instead exactly as was commented on: a curved "monitor" that happens to be calibrated to only seem 3D exactly at a single viewing angle, for a single observer, similar to Pepper's Ghost (which only works properly when viewers are positioned at a specific angle to the glass pane).
I'd say it depends on the quality of life in the student's country. Those from western Europe, Japan, South Korea and Australia and any other country with similar quality of life would not mind going back, but almost everyone else would rather stay.
YouTube don't need a license because they say they are covered by safe harbors / DMCA, so the record companies have negotiated separate agreements with YouTube. The fact that safe harbors were designed for passive intermediaries like ISPs and not a service like YT that promotes and makes money and gets value from all the music people upload (including record companies) is glossed over by YouTube.
Pretty extraordinary that a user's most important files (their documents and whatever else is in their home folder) are accessible to any app at any time.

> eclipse, netbeans, idea, et al didn't seem to do dependencies at all; even if you had a library jar actually on your filesystem it was a huge PITA to point at it, and getting a project that'd also compile on someone else's machine was horrible.

These things are oriented towards working with a dependency management/project management thing rather than manually specifying libraries. I'd really recommend maven, using the IDE's integration with it, particularly if you're getting started - Gradle can be more concise but it's definitely buggier and less well documented/supported.

> maven broke in strange ways when I tried pulling in deps and figuring out the correct incantations in the pom files was a pain

Dependencies should just work unless you were trying to do something weird like using jars from the local filesystem - don't do that (if you really must, install them into the local maven repository and use them from there: https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-lo... ). You shouldn't need any incantations, just simple XML that should autocomplete in the IDE, or you can use a GUI rather than directly - e.g. in eclipse you just right click on the project -> maven -> add dependency, and search/select the library you want. Do you remember what problem you had more specifically?

> Some of this is certainly lack of experience, or even simple Doin It Rong. I could see maven being much easier with a directory full of examples to look at, for example, and sbt I'm sure is great once you wrap your head around it. I just feel like, even if I was limited by typing bandwidth instead of figuring-things-out bandwidth, those tools wouldn't hold a candle to python's or rust's tooling. Even makefiles and cmake seem to have better happy paths.

SBT is awful throughout, but my experience is that Maven is much much better than anything in Python-land (no messing around and mode switching with virtualenv, no need to separately run pip, one consistent tool that everyone uses, one packaging format, one central repository, better integration of testing with the project), and directly comparable to Cargo.
Thanks for letting me and others know!
I absolutely agree. I don't know enough about Unicode, but is the Å and Ä very close to the A in the bit pattern or something and the hasty implementation led to this nonsensical autocorrect?

Because, if you've ever looked at a keyboard with a Nordic layout, A and Å couldn't be further apart. It's like thinking you mistakenly typed L instead of A on an American keyboard.

This is only personal experience, but multiple/many data points in that personal experience. I'm familiar with government departments where 20%+ of the employees do essentially no work whatsoever. Their assigned work languishes indefinitely, until it eventually looks bad enough on some chart that it gets assigned to someone else.

That "someone else" is often a hardworking, loyal employee who does their best to earn their pay (thank you, to those people!!). But their attitude is ground down over time by watching those other people do literally nothing, and eventually get promoted "because seniority."

So I fundamentally disagree with your premise that you could transplant that population into a business. I'm certainly familiar with freeloads in business, but I'd struggle to come up with an example company where 1/5 or more of employees do no work at all over multiple decades and then retire with a pension.
The point I'm trying to make, and it seems I'm failing miserably, is that whatever it needs to be done will be done. Unless astronauts' life is considered expendable.

A lot of engineering research? not an insignificant amount of power? too heavy? Do "cyclers" need realignement? Are they slow?

So what? Should we pack dozens of astronauts and hope at least a handful survive? That's the least realistic option IMO.
On a similar note: my iPhone very often autocorrects wurde to würde and hatte to hätte when typing German. These are all extremely common words (and part of the built-in dictionary). The one it "corrects" into are even less common. As the keys are on opposite ends of the keyboard you can't mistype that. Very annoying.

If someone knows how to disable that without switching off autocorrect altogether, I would be very glad to know.
per capita, many european countries has more billionaires than the US.

I wouldn't say 'many'. The 'top' countries are places like Iceland, Guernsey, Monaco and Cypress which are skewed due to their tiny populations. The only country which can realistically 'compete' in this metric are Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

That being said, if we're talking "The American Dream" then simply measuring the number of billionaires isn't a useful metric. We should really focus on self made billionaires rather than people who became billionaires due to inheritance. On that metric I believe the US still leads the pack.
> "Bitcoin Started With All Men. Now Crypto Is Opening to Women"

It's so ridiculous I don't know where to start. Apart from the "crypto" debate (let's face it, when you come across the word "crypto" these days, chances of it meaning cryptography are close to 0), the basic fact is that cryptocurrencies were never "closed" to anyone! You wanted to join, you could! It's as democratic as it could be.

It always amazes me how many people write these articles telling women what they should do, how they should change, what traits they must have. Couldn't you just leave them alone and let them lives they want to live?
> In German, it's the letter "A" with an umlaut mark, which is not a distinct letter of the alphabet, but it is a distinct vowel.

The umlauts are distinct letters of the German alphabet.
The English Wikipedia says so but still lists them as special characters which is confusing at best. The German Wikipedia just lists the umlauts as ordinary characters.

>German uses three letter-diacritic combinations (Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü) using the umlaut and one ligature (ß (called Eszett (sz) or scharfes S, sharp s)) which are officially considered distinct letters of the alphabet.[1]

I believe there are just two cases:

- A umlaut: German, Swedish, etc.

- A with diaeresis: French, Catalan, etc.

It is important to distinguish both cases because they differ at least in collation and typography.

In a German dictionary A with diaeresis should be always treated like an A, while A umlaut should be treated according to the different collation standards that exist in German.
In a German font the dots are closer to the letter than in a French font.

Wouldn't this kind of issue validate the ideas of microkernel-based OSs, where kernel and user spaces are already completely separated?

BTW, removing the kernel from the non-privileged address space seems like such a great idea (which is not a new one at all) the whole thing should probably should have some hardware support to be made fast.

Disclaimer: I'm not American. But my view is that the American right has placed itself outside the Overton window of anyone with a higher education.

For example, the President is a climate change denier. How do you expect those views to be represented in universities when they fly in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence?

In most countries, this problem doesn't exist because parties with ideas equivalent to the GOP don't exist or are marginal.

I own and use a Sony FD Trinitron Flat Screen CRT every day. Works great. I need a special adapter to connect it to my SHIELD. But it's outlasted several DVD players and game consoles. It's my family's only TV. Hadn't thought about how long I've owned it, but now realize it's been at least 12-15 years. I'd thought about chucking it for a flat screen, but was waiting for prices to come down. Then waited for HD prices to come down. Lately been waiting for 4k prices to come down. Now, why wait? They're so damn cheap. But after all these years, feels like I just... can't, and I just want to discourage too much TV watching (rationalization). Should I hang on to this thing?

It would be super cool if these submarines could be made completely autonomous.

They could come up to the surface to recharge their solar batteries or maybe charge them using turbines rotated by the water movements.

They could remotely relay images and data to a publicly accessible services where they could be crowdsourced for interesting findings.

I think something like this could be useful for more than just the search for MH370 (oceanography, marine biology, etc.)

I disagree. In Russia an average employed person never even has to file income tax declaration, and any local sales taxes are included in the final price. People don't even know how much they're taxed. All they know is that income tax is 13%, they don't realize how many other taxes are added up to both their salary and the products they buy.

As much as the mental overhead of expecting a sales tax on checkout annoys me, I'll suffer through it so that everyone has a constant reminder that the government is taking its cut.
Other countries should achieve success. However, the American view, or better say the view of the powerful countries is that success equals strength and leadership. America wants to maintain that position, they need diplomacy, AI, education, weapons, agriculture... Etc. If you fall down in any of these categories to depend on another nation, that gives them a hand above you.

> when some malware does manage to slip an evil kernel extension past a user and is rewarded with the protection of SIP, neither the user nor any anti-malware tool will be able to remove that extension, unless the user restarts from a different boot volume, or KernelExtensionManagement allows it.

But isn't that scenario "Game Over" anyway? At least installing kernel extensions is a process that is explicit and - importantly - not just another 'trained to ignore' permissions dialog. The alternative would be to prevent the user from ever installing kernel extensions unless they turn off security, and then you are back to square one. At least this way, authorised kernel extensions are taken under protection and not just left lying around for potential modification?

My main frustruation with SIP has been with environment variables starting with LD and DYLD being silently swallowed e.g. `DYLD_SOMETHING_SOMETHING=a env | grep DYLD` gives no output. So if you want to use these variables, or have existing scripts that do, you have to know what the command you are launching is - if it's an executable bash script, then the variables will never make it in.

SIP isn't perfect, and can be frustrating, but it certainly raises the bar for compromising a whole system.

This. I moved to Switzerland a while ago and noticed that they are suffering from the same issue: Switzerland is one of the richest countries in Europe and just like the US, they are also faced with health care costs that are completely getting out of hand.

Another example is day care for children, which is also disproportionally expensive here. Both are cases when people just don't want to cut on money, they want to have the best option for their health or their children, the costs are only a secondary consideration.
Which means that the health care market has not much of a competition on prices and as a result everything that is health related is expensive. Even basic things like nutrition supplements are around 5 times more expensive than in other European countries.

Confusingly, there are two different collation standards when treating German umlauts: One for lists of names and one for everything else.

When reciting the alphabet German school kids don't add the umlauts (at least I didn't – I don't think that has changed in the last decades) and if you ask someone how many letters the alphabet has they will answer "26" without hesitation while in Sweden they are treated as distinct characters of the alphabet in every sense.

I told my female coworkers about BTC in October, clearly explaining the trends and the risks, and encouraging them to play with their pocket money. They were mildly interested. In November I told them about it again; their answer was "it's too risky". In December I cashed out earning a few thousands. I told them about it, and their answer was "good for you". It was clear they are averse to risk. But is it necessarily a bad thing? I have some male friends who lost huge amounts of money, and arriving late to the party is quite risky anyway. My female coworkers just continue living normally, without worrying their savings lose value day by day.
To some people real meat (and animal products) already seem incredibly cruel.

I'd argue most people actually know it's morally wrong and just choose to eat it out of convenience.
Actually in Norway there is relatively little you can do in Norway, as private providers are highly restricted in what services they can legally provide in areas that are covered by public healthcare, in part because it's long been seen as immoral to let people buy preference to what is effectively a limited resource as long as the number of doctors available is limited (and the answer is not to drastically increase the pool of doctors either, as the problem there is training - you don't have enough heart transplant cases, say, to train a much larger pool of transplant surgeons). I believe the restrictions are lighter than they were, but it's still far more regulated than most places.

But of course rich people can easily fly to get private treatment abroad.

Healthcare in Norway is close to US costs mostly for other reasons: A much flatter salary curve means the services that are typically cheap elsewhere, like e.g. cleaning staff, is much closer to the cost of higher level staff, driving up overall staff costs significantly; this also drives up costs of goods and services bought externally by the healthcare system. The population density is also extremely low - less than half the US, and the US is extremely low too - and that affects cost to e.g have good hospital coverage and emergency services. Providing service at all in some places is an ongoing challenge, with the Northern regions finding it hard to hire and retain staff despite the tax breaks (for the non-Norwegians: people in the Northernmost regions gets various tax breaks and other benefits such as student debt write-downs to get people to stay/move there)
