Cambridge And Oxford and a few other “elite” unis don’t allow students to work during the school year afaik, this alone filters many students but “ironically” not the poorest ones which may be eligible for a full tuition cover + stipend.

Low income families above the low income limit set by the government who cannot afford tuition + covering living expenses tend to be those who can’t really afford to attend those schools and this includes a lot of what would normally be considered middle class.

Yes you can take a loan but Cambridge and Oxford as notoriously expensive to live around, student accommodation aren’t cheap and the overall cost of living is quite high.

So you tend to skew towards either those who have money or families which planned for this from the get go, a few token poor people but quite a few of those that come from an “average” household.
So they should continue the great tactic of outsourcing work to poorer countries and call it a day? How is it good for anyone on Earth? It is a scummy thing whether done by non-profit or for profit company.
I survived by doing landscaping and construction labor. You really know you're earning your nickels and dimes in the Florida summers when you work those jobs. Imaging a universe where people make $500k+ is pretty easy. I mean, let's be serious for just a minute. This is a tech focused community. Programming, IT, computer science, you didnt really get into this line of work because of the glamour, the guaranteed spot in line to heaven, or because a Thumbs Up equals a bag of rice to someone in need. Beginning at late Genx to early millennial, you're in this for the money. Gates, Dell, Jobs, and the other early titans are why you're in this. You wanted that and you know it. Now, the tech community is riddled with anxiety, depression and disillusionment all due to the golden handcuffs dilemma. Or just not quite cut out for the industry and not accepting that fact. Other industries at least are self aware enough to see the handcuffs and shortcomings. You're just better at lying to yourself than a stockbroker lying to the SEC. Being surprised that someone in tech wants a high 6 figure paycheck is like being surprised a bottle of Snake Oil doesn't cure cancer. Just stop and grow up.

The fallacy goes:

- breaking a window for no reason costs money, so it's economically bad

- but actually it generates labour and might be economically good?

- no, that's a fallacy, you've made the room unusable and reduced its economic worth + wasted labour on a useless repair task instead of improving the system.

The rest of the article says that it might not be a fallacy if you break a significant part of the system and not just a window.

Disclaimer: I don't fully understand the rest of the propositions in the article.
Sounds interesting in a sci fi fashion, but you'd need a lot of equipment in orbit to do so - forges, smelters, welding equipment, and of course laborers to process things. I don't think, all things, challenges and risks considered, that it's viable at this time. Besides, the main problem is in the small fragments, which are very hard to actually catch (safely), let alone reprocess. The bigger pieces of space junk are less of a problem, if only because they can be tracked.

Cities I thought would have shown up on the list:

- Montreal, Canada

- Austin, USA

Cities I was shocked at how high they were:

- Ottawa, Canada

- Toronto, Canada
This list looks to go by a unknown filtering criteria for cities. It includes multiple cities in some countries, and limit it to just the largest city for other countries.

For example, the work conditions in the various cities in Norway are probably more or less the same, and if anything, the criteria by Air Quality, and cost of living should place Oslo further down the list than others. And one can wonder why Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim, Tromsø, Stavanger, Bodø, etc. are not on the list.

The answer to this is sort of implied: This list only includes the cities it includes. The important takeaway is that this isn't a list over the top N cities to work in, but rather how a selection of cities rank in this regard.

I'm very confused by this conversation. I am agreeing with you.

The line you quoted, I had in quotation marks because it was essentially the question of the parent thread, not because it was my stance.

"That context" meant that they started with tools like SVN for version control, and Facebook for their community. They were 'current' at the time and they probably haven't seen a reason to switch.

I have no problem with this. I use many tools people find uncool or outdated. I still use RCS in places and like it better for those particular use cases (eg Bind DNS zone files), where things like file locking and versioning files vs codebases are features and not detriments. I have shell scripts I've carried around for 10-15 years to support it (ironically kept in git now), and I don't feel like reengineering for a git/ci workflow to get back to feature parity.

You should look into the history of RCS->CVS->SVN (and revision control systems in general) to understand the nuances there.
You can get your drugs tested for free in many places (at least here in the NL). They test for purity (87% is the maximum), and also for the presence of other things like caffeine that it may have been cut with. Getting the maximum purity is not uncommon, as they basically just source it from the veterinary circuit if I remember correctly.

You seem to have a bit of sour grapes that a non-Western country dares to talk positively about their own policies.

You should understand that translations often lose some cultural context, so when you have a prejudice against the English word "harmonious", understand that the Chinese equivalent is used much more freely in everyday speech. "Solidarity" might have been a better translation.

> I recall that, in the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony, China celebrated its ethnic minorities by having Han children dress up as them [..]

In a big place like China or the US, there are always going to incidents like this. Furthermore, most news stories will exaggerate the headlines or twist the details, so I am not even sure if this particular incident is as you described. What matters is what the policies are doing for the larger scale of individuals. You can't judge anything about this larger scale by looking at a few incidents, especially when Western media have a vested interest in showing you these news items and ignoring the vast majority of what is going on. (To be fair, the vast majority is quite boring.)

"Ask the people themselves" is used typically in these discussions as a weasel phrase, as if Western liberal democracies are truly "asking the people themselves". You have mass media bombarding the general population all the time with pre-ordained narratives. Nobody votes in elections with an independent analysis. So sure, it depends on what you mean by "ask the people themselves". There's lots of content on social media including from ethnic minorities, people are generally happy with their lives and the amount of freedom they have. Are you going to pick holes in that? Why not pick holes in what's happening with mass media de-jure "independent" de-facto manipulative elections in the West?
Not sure it's that simple. You might end up having couples with 10 kids, and many others with 1 kid.

As a very broad generalisation, it's usually less educated couples that go for the far higher numbers.
For photos I’d agree as most customers are end users. Don’t underestimate this for other products though. Self hosting is a huge feature for selling into large corporations with data security policies.
Imho in a certain manner I get what you're saying and I kind of agree up to a certain point, but having an issue when somebody uses the word paralyzed out of physical context is not how we achieve greatness nor is having an issue with the default git branch being master, nor do similar waste of time discussions. These things are only there since the loud minority wants to signal that they're more woke than their environment. There are real issues with race, religion freedom of speech etc all around the western world.
I have no idea , just a random idea , maybe they want to prevent people from the "wrong" group having 10+ children.
Fork it on the internet archive :)
More or less 40 years later, CCP learned nothing from it. They do seem to know why people were willing to have more children in the past, neither do they understand why almost no one want to have two or more kids. They first imitated USSR that household essentials to be distributed by headcount regardless the age and/or other situation of the individual differences. Given everything was scarce from ~50s to ~80s, the only logical move would be having more babies as babies obviously don't need as much food as adults and thus the other family members will have more to share in comparison to those have less or no babies. In other words, people chose to have more babies and let those did not have as many to feed them instead of having less babies and feeding other families had more babies. In 80s, such economical incentive was gone, CCP did not have to anything really to make the birth rate drop as people were bound by their economic capabilities again. Unfortunately, they again made a mistake that could not be bigger by adopting birth control and introduced the birth fine/fee. They had their chances to revert the trend by cancelling it in 00s as there were still some momentum. At the same time, Wen Jiabao started serials of economical changes that made everything related with babies extremely expensive: healthcare, housing and education. Note that I don't even mention baby food, clothing and accessories etc. For those who born in 80s, they may still have brothers/sisters so it might be easier for them but again, they are now in their late 30s or earlier 40s, not really the best age to have babies. For those born in 90s or 00s, I would say 99.99% of them were the only child in the family. Now, I would say at least 80% of them make no more than RMB5000 per month, which is barely enough feeding themselves. For a couple, they are most likely have to support 4 elders, some might event have to support 6 or more(their parents and maybe grandparents, most of them have no pensions at all). And now, they are told that they can have 3 children. Wow, so "generous", but how are they going to support them?
If people don't die as early as before and you have few newborns you can still experience growth for a while.
I agree. I'd like my documents to contain overview, intent, and exceptions. The actual implementation I can look up in the code. Also generated stuff is appreciated, like Swagger.
Yes, despite what China may want you to think they are capitalist. Democracy =/= capitalism, you can have an authoritarian state with a capitalist economy.

Also, even if China was a command economy that doesn't mean they too couldn't cause pollution. Its just that "the tragedy of the commons" is a specifically market economy problem.

Choose a random answer to this question, what's the chance you'll be correct?
I think the idea is to bring the average up to 2.1, which is the accepted "replacement" fertility rate, to stem a population decline. One way to achieve that level is when a majority of women have 2 children but a few have 3 children. For a population the size of China, a "few" might mean a few million. I don't see that happening without a few carrots.
Point taken about different partitions of the IV into counter and nonce.

As far as GCM GHASH vs Poly1305, they use the same math. Just one is in a Galois field modulo the prime 2**130 - 5 and the other is in a 128-bit binary Galois field reduced by a fixed primitive polynomial (the lexographically smallest 128-bit primitive binary polynomial, IIRC).

Poly1305 does drop two bits of the 130-bit result field element when outputting the tag, so I guess that does provide a bit more work for an attacker, but they're both simple polynomial evaluations in finite fields of similar size. Breaking them is just finite field algebra if the r and s values are reused.

Poly1305 is a MAC taken by calculating the tag:

def tag(r, s, message):
v = 0 # No associated data case
for chunk in message:
v += chunk + 2**128
v = (v * r) % (2**130 - 5)
return ((v + s) % (2**130 - 5)) % 2**128

The GCM GHASH tag is:

# multiply() is multiplication in GF 2**128
# add() is addition in GF 2**128 (a.k.a. 128-bit XOR)
def tag(key, iv, message):
r = AES_encrypt(key, 0)
s = AES_encrypt(key, iv)
v = 0 # No associated data case
for chunk in message:
v = add(v, chunk)
v = multiply(v, r)
return add(v, s)

(I think the extra 2**128 addition inside the Poly1305 loop is to ensure the function doesn't have a fixed point at zero, but I'm not sure.)
Perhaps it’s more a function of the “where” (rural)? That’s less sad, imo.

As far as I know, Ketamine is hard to produce in a home-lab (more so than other recreational drugs). At least here in the NL, the Ketamine you can get on the streets basically just comes from the same factories as Ketamine that is administered to e.g. animals. Might be cut with some things, or might contain both isomers (they don't report those results if you get your drugs tested, just purity).
I don't know where you live, but most places have regulations regarding how loud vehicles can be. Maybe that doesn't apply where you are?

> Industry Spent Millions Selling Recycling — To Sell More Plastic

> For decades, Americans have been sorting their trash believing that most plastic could be recycled. But the truth is, the vast majority of all plastic produced can't be or won't be recycled.

So yeah, the companies are keen on having public opinion thinking “consume without fear, we’ll recycle it”, because it has higher margin than being cleaner themselves. Fighting disinformation is not diinformation.
In the US you're paying for the clinic's insurance premiums against when you or another customer sues them which is a thing that /will/ happen.

Only 40 cities. The reality is that the best work-life balance cities are not the biggest cities in the world. You get the best in the middle range. I have been working in Copenhagen, yes, it is a nice city, but you get way better quality of life in a 100,000 to 400,000 city nearly anywhere else in Europe. Even Aahrus has a better quality of life.

The problem of these ranking is that they want to be global, so they take very big cities known by most of the people at the world level, but all the quality of life is in the middle. You will not see Münster (DE), Boulder (CO, US), Lausanne (CH), Nancy (FR), etc. etc.

They are basically the the best from the worse.
Is there any reason to make this by city instead of by region? AFAIK most cities in a wide region (say, India, where I'm from) have reasonably similar work cultures. Frankly, I'd say cities are a rather poor marker for WLB compared to industry and region.

Anything above 100K is sky-high, and you need to have drunk a lot of the SF kool-aid to think anything else. That the cost of living in SF is so high that a wage like that doesn't cover basic living costs is not because the wages aren't high enough.

Well, one part of the work-life balance is also access to interesting work and opportunities, and a mature market that makes it easy to switch between companies when you want to or need to.

In that way, I think it makes sense to focus on some of the largest job markets, as they explain under "Methodology":

Wasn’t their some policy saying that rural mothers could have a second child if their first was a girl? If they each had the maximum number of children, it would lead to an average of about 1 boy and 0.75 girls per rural mother.

Everything that went wrong with the Sydney Opera House project was reversed to go magnificently right for Frank Gehry in Bilbao.

The Bilbao Guggenheim museum was built on time and on budget because it was built with the right tools and the right process. Gehry used CATIA - the CAD program made for designing the Mirage fighter jet.

CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault to provide 3D surface modeling and NC functions for the CADAM software they used at that time to develop the Mirage fighter jet.

Since CATIA supports multiple stages of product development from conceptualization, design and engineering to manufacturing, it is considered a CAx-software and is sometimes referred to as a 3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite.

The integration of bill of materials, procurement infrastructure, and lifecycle management meant that Gehry's building would have sophisticated, responsive project management baked in from the start.

Even when the design changed on the fly, materials and supply chain dependencies were informed simultaneously so the project was kept under control.
