If you want a fully qualified GP-track resident, there's probably no way to compress the learning process much further down than the four years of American med school. German med school takes six and a half years to teach the same amount of knowledge, and that's already a brutally challenging course of study. (At least it was to me, a reasonable driven straight-A student.)

Looking at the American med students I know, getting through med school in four years seems to require giving up all semblance of a private life and driving yourself to the edge of exhaustion/over the edge into a mental break-down. I don't think there's a way to do it in three years or even less.

That said, there might be a market for specialists with less training than that. There's no real reason to make e.g. an aspiring orthopedic surgeon sit through the entirety of med school, including all the dermatology/pediatrics/gynecology etc stuff.

But as another commenter mentioned, you'll have a hard time getting the regulatory bodies to accept your "eight months to orthopedic surgery" students as fully qualified doctors

The argument before the deplatforming was that those users would just recreate accounts & post on other, less well known, subreddits.

Could you think of a reasonably achivable study that would be able to falsify your belief that deplatforming doesn't reduce global hate?

The kind of people who use Numbeo are at least somewhat wealthy compared to most of the world population (since they have the means to afford travel) and therefore the prices skew upwards. The average local probably spends closer to the lower bound given by Numbeo or even below it.
Don't know why this was downvoted. Having gone through higher ed, I think "undermining existing educational institutions" is a great thing. Now if we could just get rid of the standard hierarchical corporate structure...
I am always amazed by the (low) price of those projects, compared to the potential benefits

$890 million for potentially giving a new clean energy source seems incredibly low. I can't see a reason why we don't have at least 10 of those projects being concurrently funded in the US, Europe and China. This is a fraction of a percent of the annual budget of each region.

Whoever gets their hand on that first is going to have a massive economical - and probably military - advantage over the others.
There's a site called Zeef. They can probably add this.
We try to avoid microservices wherever possible. If we're adding something new, it typically starts off as part of the service being deployed - either as a container within the pod (we use kubernetes) or as a library that the code can use. If something grows big enough in a way that it can't scale with the service it's running with, we split it into a separate service. The opposite is also true - if a service that we run no longer warrants a separate deployment, we make it a container or a library. We use GRPC for most communication and interfaces for anything that travels package boundaries. Both of these help with making the split/aggregation a lot easier to manage.
Exactly. It will become very difficult to get away with murder in the future because they can now link familial DNA.

Yeah, and that logic is almost inherently a violation of labor law. The whole idea behind allowing "internships" at all is that the intern is deriving value (education) from the relationship that isn't captured by wages alone. The test for whether it's legal involves how much they are supervised by the people who are supposed to be teaching them.

Handing out throwaway projects like you posit is an easy trip to a class action suit.

Heh, I don't think so. Teachers don't like to send their pupils to court for silly things. They'd just get told why not to do it again and probably get some detention and stuff.

No, Lambda School is not an accredited school.
You could wonder: why does the mighty bejing government care about these little provinces that dabble with democracy? Actually, Hong Kong and Taiwan are very dangerous to the mainland government. They harbour elites who keep values of democracy and freedom. Those elites potentially could be put into power in order to oversee democratization of China. Not saying that they ever will, but it's certainly a danger for them.
Property taxes explicitly work against speculation (you can’t just buy property and sit on it, since property tax acts to depreciate its value), but not rent seeking (indeed, it even pushes people to use their property productively so they can lay their property taxes).

I'm not sure. But what's definitely true is that it's WAY harder as an adult.

Most self-taught programmers I know (including myself) learned to program as children/teenagers. Learning at that age is easier -- if not biologically, then at the very least because you have tons of free time.

The few I know who self-taught programming but didn't learn as youth already had really strong backgrounds in mathematics or physics, and leaned heavily on the skills that studying those fields teaches you.

On top of that, I have encountered lights where if you don't do this, you will hold up traffic indefinitely because the light only changes when something bigger (heavier? more metallic?) than a bike is at the stop line
> Hong Kong, through the UK, has legal redress in international law

The UK has gradually lost interest in ensuring that Hong Kong’s Basic Law is respected. For the UK, fighting for Hong Kong would jeopardize its relationship with the mainland, which is much more important in terms of business and trade.

Plus, mainland China has become more assertive and its leadership claims that China is rising back up again after the colonial era kept it down – an era in which the UK played no small role, both in the Opium Wars and in holding Hong Kong as a colonial possession. That means that if the UK tries to really fight for Hong Kong, it will be attacked for acting like a meddling colonial power again. The UK is just too sensitive to the propaganda campaign that China could throw at it.
Paying an increasing tax is not fair too. You don't get more services from higher tax, the city is just extorting more money because it can and because enough people think this is fair.

You might be happy to know that 0 is considered a prime element in typical cases (barring those cases where there are 0 divisors, i.e. where two elements can be multiplied to create 0, obviously this is not an issue with regular numbers).

Edit: for historical reasons prime elements are slightly different from the usual prime numbers, and 0 remains a bit of a special case even now.

In my experience this also applies to dating, it’s really easy to overlook things in the early stages of a relationship (or what might become a relationship) that turn out to be quite significant later.

Yes, this is not my tragedy.
> the UK has lost interest in ensuring that Hong Kong’s Basic Law is respected

I agree. When I say through the UK, I mean through the UK’s standing in international law. That gives Hong Kong the ability to petition various bodies and sue in certain courts. It also gives legitimacy to e.g. the U.S. taking it on as a cause.

TL; DR There are ways for Hong Kong to make an overt treaty violation costly to Beijing. Unless Beijing is concerned about an imminent threat to its legitimacy and power, it’s unlikely to find those costs worth incurring.

No, it's called hyperbole. It's used to make a point.
It depends on how you define it. It may sound like I am preaching “the one twue way”. I am not, I support those who define things differently. Having said that, the way I view it is that love is already used all over the place: “I love this game!” “I love chocolate cake!” “I love you, and your sister, and your little brother! I love my kids!” Why do we “allow” such usage without qualms, but when it comes to romantic love we only allow for it to mean “feelings you have toward one partner that you must then try to be with, and possibly marry and procreate”? Why can’t you enjoy someone’s company so much that you love them for just that moment, that hour, that year?

And what about the whole mutual love dilemma? Have you ever witnessed a situation where two people are together and one is nervous to profess their love to the other because they might not say it back? And if they do, do they feel it the same way?

That I think actually brings me to the most interesting way “love” is cheapened: when it is unexpressed. Say you are dating someone and by all accounts “it’s too early”. But you know you are in love. And maybe this is some puppy love because you are a teenager, but maybe you found the person that makes you feel just right in your late 40s after two divorces. You know what Love feels like for you and this is it, but a month in you cannot just profess it to your partner, can you? Well why not? If you tell them “I love you. I feel it deep in my belly, and in my fingertips when I touch you. This doesn’t mean I need to marry you, or we need to be together forever. It doesn’t even mean that you have to love me, now or ever. But I want you to know that you make me feel this way, and I am lucky that you are here with me right now.” How is that a cheapened version of “real love”?
Scooter and other electric micro vehicle sales are probably only going to increase. Rental is always going to be an issue. Bicycles have been around a very long time and yet rental of them has generally only been sustainable in small tourist hotspots where people are cycling on established sightseeing routes. In big cities they are trashed or stolen.
there's one issue that large companies face, after two/three years all the juniors in the "surgery team" model start looking at position of seniority within or outside the company, causing high concentrated turnover in such built teams.

the surgical team is great in a crunch but long term you need to stagger your turnover to keep competency on the project high.

this isn't as relevant on team that are building projects as they were in the mmm time, today companies tend to build service software that has maybe the same shelf life but gets continuously improved instead of being dropped whole and left into maintenance mode.
For me, it did hide at landscape hold..

SSH/SFTP is a standard protocol. Their API is not. Many more devices support sftp than their API. I don’t always have a browser, but I often have ssh.
Having worked on many, many software projects myself, this is 100% accurate. One good programmer who is intensely focused and interested in a project is worth 20 - 50 (or more) programmers who are just code monkeying it without really giving a shit. This is why a small, passionate startup team can consistently build better products than large corporations. Much better products.

"Hero" is a bad name for it, but one or two people on the team need to _really_ understand what is it that needs to be done, and the management needs to understand that those people _understand_, and support them. At least 80% of any given team either don't understand what needs to be done or don't give a shit, or both. Leaving such folks to their own devices is a very wasteful and counterproductive exercise.
> let's make sure everyone is an equal contributor

that's also because they don't want to pay the "hero" 10x than the other developers

There is another thing about free markets. They aren't run by one company. You have virtual monopolies in many situations such as Uber. Lyft barely factors in and two companies is not a market anyway.

If it was a proper free market then there would be lots of services like Uber that drivers could select from.

I still think that decentralized public platforms are the way to break the technopoly market strangleholds.

This sounds like a question for management. I suspect the healthy attitude is to not even care what a good managerial approach is—simply show up, do whatever the easiest thing that lines up with management priorities, and leave, managing the rest of your career outside this. Unfortunately I feel like some managers become enraged if you “check out” of doing their managerial duties for them

We're talking about romantic love where lust is a dominant factor, if there was no sexual attraction bringing the two parties together, then how could there have been any subsequent love to arise? The sexual attraction (lust) is a condition that caused the love to sprout in the first place.

I'm not saying there aren't other possible ways for people to get together, but we're specifically talking about cases where people get together because they're attracted to each other (the condition).

I think what you're wanting to say is that a conditioned love (for example, one that starts with lust) can become an unconditioned love. But I don't think you can separate the cause and effect like that, because the memories, experiences and identity shared between the parties is still going to rest as a factor for them staying together for a "unconditional" love to take place, and hence its not truly unconditional: it's based on something.
> men and women face a similar modicum of risks for waiting too long for kids

Sadly, biology disagrees.

That aside, the original thread was that those who delay children have fewer children and the conclusion is this situation selects against the things that lead to delaying children. If career ambition is genetic, then each generation will have less of it. At least, that's the theory here.
In the US poll workers are volunteer positions, as well. In my portion of the country (Southeastern US), they are mostly retired folks. Incidentally, I’ve always been impressed with how friendly and helpful they are, even when the there is much higher voter turnout.
“The difference matters” I don’t see how, but I don’t fully understand how your assessment works. My city’s assessment is close to the market value [1] for the whole property, so it’s a mute point.

Either way, they do give me a breakdown, which I agree is right (land about 33% of overall value).

Again, for rental properties, there is a disincentive to having low density housing (my condo value in a 20 story building is assessed as 20% land)

> Here is the thing about Uber and Lyft (and much of the “sharing economy”).

> They don’t pay the cost of their capital.

> The wages they pay to their drivers are less than the depreciation of the cars and the expense of keeping the drivers fed, housed, and healthy. They pay less than minimum wage in most markets, and, in most markets, that is not enough to pay the costs of a car plus a human.

> These business models are ways of draining capital from the economy and putting them into the hands of a few investors and executives. They prey on desperate people who need money now, even if the money is insufficient to pay their total costs. Drivers are draining their own reserves to get cash now, but, hey, they gotta eat and pay the bills.
