UK universities generally have a low attrition rate (at least to failing exams). If you struggle with the subject you may wind up dropping out on your own due to stress, but if you stick with it you'll probably still technically get a degree, just a third or an 'ordinary' (which is basically a fail: I don't know many employers which will count it as a degree).

The other point (that supports you) to make is that the ICNARC paper only looks at those admitted to ICUs. There may be lots of people who are seen by ICU as having very low chance of recovery, and then not admitted to ICU. These people may die at home or in a care home or nursing home.

Have you considered another angle, which is that you may have a health condition that is impacting you?

I had a similar experience, I changed job/country but I was still feeling drained. It turned out I was suffering from a health condition which was draining my energy and I was fatigued all time.

Some of this may include but not limited to:

- Iron deficiency
- Diabetes
- Blood Pressure
- hypothyroidism

Whatever you decide to do, if you feel like you just want to sleep and don't want to do anything for a while, check with your GP first and do blood tests.
I guess it is an anglicisation of the word, czech spelling and grammar are not so widely known outside Czech Republic.

I have seen similar quirks going from English into Czech. Like how there is "sendvič" for sandwich, and "sendviče" for sandwiches ... I've seen some places here advertising "sandwiche" (applying the Czech plural to the English stem).

Vietnam is a complex country. Wikipedia gives more background:

> Vietnam is a unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic, one of the two communist states (the other being Laos) in Southeast Asia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam#Government_and_politic...

Politically, it's still an autocratic state, but economically the country has opened up to the global market since the 1980's, not unlike China.

> Human rights have long been a matter of much controversy between the Government of Vietnam and some international human rights organizations and Western governments, particularly that of the United States. Under the current constitution, the Communist Party of Vietnam is the only one allowed to rule, the operation of all other political parties being outlawed. Other human rights issues concern freedom of association, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Vietnam

Vietnam is home to several ethnic minorities and a range of religions and beliefs. There haven been frequent regional tensions and uprisings over the past decades and Vietnam itself has also had disputes over borders with Cambodia and China right after the end of the Vietnam War.

Vietnam and Facebook have a rocky past, but Facebook is well embedded in Vietnamese society by now. For instance, it is a bedrock for small business owners as it allows them to escape restrictions which are enforced on street shops. So, it's a source of wealth, but at the same time, it irks authorities enough to create tensions.

If I were to find a causal relation, it would be the opposite: people not expecting affordances such as scroll indicators would be a result of designers hiding them in the first place.
The issue is with how they define minors. Considering they're stylised cartoons it can be pretty subjective, and for some, simply having a flat chest = child, regardless of anything else. In other cases, curvy body + large breasts can also be considered child if they are deemed 'too cute', etc.

It leads to inconsistency, which leads to people creating content that is well within the guidelines deciding to not publish to Patreon as they can't guarantee whoever is enforcing the rules that day won't arbitrarily decide otherwise.
There are margins on the screen 95% of the time, it's a perfect place for a tiny 1-3px scroll indicator.
Semi serious answer: people!
I can see how Secure boot solves real security problems. And I am definitely not blaming Ubuntu here.

However, it’s unfortunate that the Secure Boot technology (or maybe this is a licensing thing) by default does not make prescriptions, and that we’re reliant on the device manufacturer’s good will to see it implemented correctly.
Trump instructs US Navy to destroy all Iranian gunboats if they harass US ships
The most key point of this is right at the start:

"I decided to just answer straightforwardly"

That can make all the difference in your interactions with your child and how they learn about this world.

Too many problems are caused by parents not being honest with their kids. Be straightforward, no matter how awkward the explanations may be. Avoid patronizing simplifications and saying things like "you'll understand when you're older". If they're not able to understand or decide they don't want to, they'll stop asking.

and also one of the best ways of improving your own understanding of something is to try explaining it to someone else, and who better than a child? If they say some tradition is stupid or silly, maybe it is! If you can't defend it to them, why do you follow it?

Who knows, maybe you'll even make an unexpected friend to share your interests with. :)

Sounds like it. We have one basic model. It also seems to stumble around rather randomly, but it doesn't, there is a movement patterns that makes it pass everywhere given enough time. It does not clean much with each pass, but it does not pass once. If you had let it run it would have cleaned the dust eventually.

> it would just continuously get stuck within a few minutes (usually either between piano legs or under furniture that was raised about the same height as the vacuum)

Mine gets stuck at the feed of an ikea chair. That's annoying and the only solution I have is to turn the chair around or to put it away. It's likely you have to prepare the space a bit before turning it on, but that's still a lot less work and time than doing everything manually.

> My home has lots of hardwood floors throughout and I vacuum daily.

Definitely buy one and stop wasting your time vacuuming :)
Bloom is also the english word for flowering ("in full bloom")
True, yet they are some of the best universities not only in Britain, but in Europe and the world. So they are highly relevant in this discussion as we are talking about the top maths/physics education in each country for top students. E.g. when Russian universities/schools are mentioned here, it is usually Moscow State University or another top university or school that is assumed.

And in many ways, e.g. when it comes to drinking and partying, I would guess the culture in other British universities is even worse. In a top Russian university you simply would not have the time, and they would not hesitate to kick you out; graduating from university can be more difficult than getting into one.

Unfortunately, it is a practical necessity if you want to have an operating system that the majority of the public can just pick up and use. Yes, I think it's utterly ridiculous that Microsoft acts as the primary signatory for most hardware by default, but pretending that isn't the case won't help distributions ship software.

I wish it wasn't the case, and it is crazy that we have given this power to Microsoft. But that is the current state of the world.

If you look at the history of Facebook it becomes clear that they don't care about morals at all.

It's just about money, if upholding moralic aspects does profit then through a better image and more trust they will do so. If it doesn't cost them much they might still do so. But the moment it affects their profit they will not do so, through they might pretend they hadn't had a choice or similar.

Your points are well taken. Now imagine the rust compiler 15 years from now after great effort has made the backend optimizers great - most of your criticisms to llvm will apply there. It will be rust, and lack some code that isn't needed to optimize rust, but otherwise it will be extremely complex and hard to get into. Merging new fixes will take a long time because it is so hard.

C++ isn't a great language, but learning C++ is the least difficult part of the problem to contributing to llvm.

> I went to high school in Russia and then moved to Australia. The difference was immense. It felt like i just dropped 2 year levels.

I know nothing about your history, but usually moving to a new country means you are now an immigrant and by definition have less privilege than before, even if you can't immediately notice it.

Another hypothesis is that you left an elitist good school in russia and joined a not-so elite school in Australia. You could have done the same in Russia just by moving to a slightly cheaper neighborhood. Confirming the parent poster you were replying to.
Yes. It is odd that in the British system at age 16 you can choose to study mathematics and physics and literally nothing else. (I blame this for my poor history knowledge.)

Always seems to be the solution. It doesn't scale, even if you know how to make a PCB or a cupboard (for example), it doesn't take 0 time. That extra work would be extra time spent, which is nonsense if the goal is to demonstrate competency and reduce wasting time.
Not much?

I think in most jurisdictions it's possible to get legally married, just not be celebrated in the traditional way.

So wedding celebrations have been delayed by 6 months or a year, well so what?

It's such a small thing to focus on and worry about when almost the whole global economy has been put on pause. There's almost nothing that hasn't been affected, the inability to immediately celebrate in a traditional over-the-top way is of such a minor consequence in comparison.

> The "social capital" was based on the proximity to the ruling minority. The power was greatly centralized so there weren't many of those type of families. Majority had all same: same stuff like photocopied all over the place.

Sounds like something from a school history textbook. It was way more complicated than that; the "ruling minority" or proximity to it was nearly irrelevant to most people (and also a direct threat - you stayed away from these people and their 'friends' as much as you could), what mattered more was your street's communist committee, the teachers at schools, if you wanted to have nicer (or any at all) stuff, then you had to know the shopkeepers, if you wanted your child to go to a high school, you had to know the principal, if you wanted your child to go to university, then the whole family had to have a clean and pro-communist record, if you wanted to visit a doctor, you had to know them or bring something (not necessarily money - money was not that useful), if you wanted to have a okay-ish workplace then... (I could go on forever)

In my previous comments, I was talking mainly about the 90's and early 00's - post-communism. I'm also not a Russian, I'm as west as communism got.
So Far No Empirical Evidence That Lockdowns for Covid-19 Work
Only on mobile. Duo for web does not.
In today’s world though Google or FB decommissioning that product segment is just as likely. Just because it is Google doesn’t mean they will spend every last penny to keep it running. Once it stop becoming profitable, you better figure out what to do with your data. Hopefully one still has the primary local copy and not wondering how to do bulk download

Apart from that I agree this non-profit competition should only be used to kill industries that charge an exorbitant amount for there services. At least many of the popular cloud storage companies are as “non-outrageous-profit” as it gets. They make money from efficiency/dedup or other management efficiency
I’m bullish on Sia. If there can just be a simple way to obtain the stupid crypto currency...
If that were the case if being moral was profitable then more companies would be supporting the countless open source projects they use monetarily than just abiding by the literal reading of the GPL and not giving back. How is it moral to build a cloud provider on the backs of open source software and not supporting those devs and teams that make said software as their hobby as just one example.
Facebook obeys the law everywhere it is enforced. Some laws are better than than others.

Facebook makes essentially 0 profit in poor countries like

Ask HN: How can I control my ADHD if medication not an option?
What techniques can I implement to minimize my attention problema, or at least to minimize the consequences of them?

I have most of my life struggled with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Specially during my childhood and after my 20s. As a teenager this condition was probably there but somehow it didn't matter much. I'm now reaching my forties and the balance of responsibilities and leisure time I have is mostly incompatible with ADHD.

I'm a software developer with an engineering degree, technical leader of my team. I work remote for a German company since 7 years. I have streaks of several weeks of really low productivity that somehow the management overlooks thanks allegedly to my value as a technical skills storage, and to streaks of time where I can produce solutions to really interesting problems. But somehow when the problem gets unintereting I stop being productive.

I live in a place where ADHD is not an accepted medical conditions in adults. There's no way to obtain a prescription or Ritalin or anything of the sort. I contend the idea that the only remedy for ADHD is medication or therapy. Mostly because this assumption is useful in my environment.

I have tried pomodoro with mixed results in the past, I simply couldn't stick with it for a long time. I deleted also my social media accounts and this has surely helped me a lot(although my mind always find a way to wander elsewhere). My question is:Isn't attention control a problem just like any other engineering problem that could be tacked indirectly via technology? What methods can I use to minimize the effects of ADHD in my productivity given that drugs or therapy is unavailable?
It's easy to be mad at Facebook, but more productive to build an promote alternative to give people better choices.
And it's still better than the current product suite even with half of it killed.
Also, the font needs to be MS Sans Serif, not Arial.

Not sure I can link it but I can definitely describe it. To be clear I'm referring to the 2012 film not the original show. The scene though is sortof referencing the original series because if memory serves it was sortof how they would have done "high school undercover" in the 80s.

Basically the adult cops undercover as high school students try to make a first day impression and they sortof trash academics and try to intimidate kids interested in studying etc. So they try to be stereotypical 80s/90s popular kids. It spectacularly backfires and they have to change their approach. It's actually a surprisingly insightful scene in the context of this discussion.
