In Norway, you are employed by the University. Your title is a (doctorate) "stipendiat", but in any case - you are still employed, with a state governed title and minimum wage.

Current minimum wage for these seem to be 491200 NOK, or roughly $50k / year. Obviously not a whole lot compared to being a salaried professional with Masters Degree...but also much more than the usual student loan / stipend here in Norway, which is 128877 NOK / $13.2k
Probably listed under "Pascal" which it does feature.
Get out more. Elsewhere in the EU PhD is not paid, at best you're doing lectures all while without any paid time off, sick leave, and if you want a good laugh from the universities' administrators, bring maternal leave up. The experience of my partner left me with a very bleak and medieval picture of the academia. And of course, if you're getting a research grant through the university, it comes as a loan of ~60-90k€ - you're expected to pay it back if your research is not as successful and, for example, you don't manage to publish enough articles in time.

Academia is a fucking joke.

> In the German system, for instance, PhD students are paid

Sometimes paid. In engineering and CS you might be able to land a full position, but for example in physics you can call yourself lucky if you get a half position -- with the same amount of work, obviously. Many must apply for scholarships, which is comparable to a half position but has the downside of not paying into unemployment insurance.

In the humanities, my understanding is that PhD students are not paid at all.
That's the feeling i get too, they are more preoccupied by short term gains rather than long term commitment

Wich usually mean they do not trust the products they are funding

Not looking good
That does make sense, though it makes it that much more of a horror that places are using it to determine whether or not you'll make a good employee or a good renter. "You won't make money for the bank, so pay more for insurance and don't rent here". Those places definitely use it differently than the folks providing the scores.

> I will quietly place my face in my hands and weep to the memory of php coding I did 20 years ago.

You should revisit the language. PHP7 was a huge leap forward. It's a different language now.
What do you mean? Are you praising them by making the comparison, or saying they are plagiarized?

I really think you should clarify.

> they work for themselves

They work for professors who sometimes care that they eventually get a PhD and sometimes don’t care if they live or die.

I love hard work, but not if it’s paired with a toxic environment where I’m going to be working like a slave for a decade and maybe will never achieve anything close to the impact I thought I’d have.

> goal?

Not sure, but if not what is the goal? To be in a research lab forever as an assistant or to do your own research? The latter requires power and position, like a professorship.
Anything "falsy" -- any item that, when cast to boolean results in false. So, also zeroes, falses and empty strings.
Of course we can. Just do the calculation into TW and then that’s how much renewables we need. We built a ridiculous world war machine in less than 10 years and then a crazy space machine in the 20 years after that. Making wind and solar is kind of easy and as you did it it would get cheaper to do (as you lowered the cost of energy to 0)
You are certainly correct that the term PII never appears in the legislation but instead the focus is on the ability to identify someone.

What I’m saying is that by isolating PII as much as possible you can make that larger task much easier to achieve.

You can actually learn a lot from places you might not think of at first like how intel agencies and LE do things like source protection where you have to deal with the concept of a particular identity in a lot of different scenarios and different groups but it’s essential that the person remain unidentifiable at the same time to almost everyone. It’s a very similar set of problems and they have been thinking about this for a long time already.
I started my PhD in my mid-30s. I was working as engineer support staff at a science institute at the time and was encouraged to enroll in a PhD course. I dropped out of the course and academia all together after 5 years for various reasons, among others being burned out and developing health problems. I would describe myself similar to you, loving to do research and working on hard problems, but that's just a part of getting a PhD.

I strongly suggest reading the "How to Survive your Doctorate" [1]. It goes into social, financial and office politics side of doing a PhD. You might think that it's something you can avoid, but it's not. It's a book I wish I've read before going down the PhD route.

I have very mixed feelings on this topic. I share your sentiment -- BUT:

Human brains also use anything the human can see, feel, hear for training.
And what you produce in terms of creative outcome is a result of your experiences. But you don't owe anyone anything for training your human brain -- even if you use your brain to sell paintings, music etc.

I think we need to break this mindset. It’s your research. Not your professors. By the end, your professor probably doesn’t really understand it anymore because you’ve pushed the envelope beyond them.

There are several microcontroller architectures within the Arduino family officially as well as compatible ones that are also called Arduino-something.

The classic (and oldest) are the AVR microcontrollers (ATmega), which are not supported by embassy nor rtic at the moment AFAIK.
They are supported by Rust, though. see: https://github.com/rahix/avr-hal.

However, there are several other Arduino microcontrollers that are supported. For example the Arduino Nano RP2040, Arduino Nano 33 BLE (nRF), the Arduino MKR ones as well as the STM32duino (STM32F103, the one in the hugely popular $2 blue-pill boards) are all based on the ARM cortex-m architecture, which is supported by both embassy as well as rtic.

For espressif chips (like the esp32), support is being worked on by the manufacturer itself:
https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/issues/745

The problem with political change is that then it becomes highly polarised political topic. With some people pushing rebranded communist ideas. Then suddenly it becomes political spectrum issue and not climate issue.

Let alone that historically non-capitalist countries had terrible ecological track record. For example here in ex-USSR. In USSR era ecological situation was pure catastrophe. But we're making massive improvements for the last few decades. And capitalist market economy works damn great to support ecological efforts.

> Another system change would be if the rich countries would pay for the catastrophic damage they have inflicted on the countries worst affected by climate change, and then stop taking advantage of poor countries by ending unequal exchange.

So, let already rich elite in poor country syphon even more money off rich countries? While making rich countries poor, so there's a big chance for elite in rich countries become even more detached, similar to poor countries. Global elite unite & fuck over the rest...

Also, „reducing overproduction“ will fuck over poor countries much more. Make stuff expensive to produce and suddenly bringing back manufacturing is much more viable.
Can you explain where the mistakes exactly are?
You can have a statistic approach, and that's what the OP is referring to. If you find out about an unknown unknown frequently, they are out there. If you go years without hitting one, they are (probably) absent.
I wholeheartedly agree. In the UK, I find it especially irritating that the biggest selling point touted for going to university by a lot of people is the "social experience", not the education!

Either way, most of the education seems to happen when you're locked away in your dorm room. I could have honestly done that studying anywhere with a bit of peace and quiet.
In the US you can enroll in either a master's program or a PhD program after obtaining the bachelor degree. Both count as graduate programs. The PhD program then usually takes as long as getting a masters degree and then a PhD in Germany, for example. PhD programs in natural sciences in Germany take around 3 years (can be longer), but the PhD program in the US for bachelor graduates takes 5-6 years.
Nike wouldn't be happy either. Probably won't make a fuss because it is bad for PR, but they will definitely take note and it will come back when it is time to talk money.
Cool, thanks for the thorough answer.
Transport time calculations using the max speed of >500km/h are misleading. I doubt that all passengers want to travel from one end to the opposite end. You might need to travel any partial distance to visit relatives, concerts, doctors etc. So you need to add many train stations (6 min walking distance: one per kilometer? Probably not, more about 10-20 stations over the total distance), or add hub and spoke design with other (slower) means of transportation and introducing inconvenience of changing transport 2-3 times, or multiple lines in parallel covering smaller parts.

There were concepts many years ago to have commuter capsules accelerating and dock to longer high speed trains, to avoid the slow-down of stops at stations.

I like the idea of using only 5% of the real estate and preserve 95% theoretically untouched - but the gigantic building will certainly change the surrounding environment by blocking air flow, reflecting sun to south, adding shadow to the north, etc. and you need to add lots of solar or wind farms, probably outside the actual building.

This gigantomanic plan is more an expression of prestige, non-democratic power, and an excellent way to totally police the people inside. Another useless waste of money, energy, building material, nature, probably human live of slave labor.

A useful project would need to include all stakeholders in the design phase, including a democratic process to define targets, outcomes, financing etc.

To completely replace fossil fuel, you need a lot of nuclear plants and nuclear materials and transmission lines. For renewables you can handle a lot of the load near the consumption point and only need to transmit the “night load” which is usually much less.
How to grow a sustainable, inclusive open source community
I mined some data from a few open source repos on GitHub (tensorflow, react, vue, and a few Ruby frameworks) and wrote a series of blog posts on how data could be used to help OSS communities.

Part 1 just got published, and I thought I'd share in case it's useful/resonates with people here! This one's mostly a summary of key challenges & opportunities facing OSS today. Parts 2-3 have more of the results of the data analysis (things like looking into the impact of review wait time on first time contributors etc.), and part 4 is a mini-tutorial on GitHub data mining (there were more than a few gotchas). I'll share those once they publish if people are interested!
It used to be that I could find 5 to 10-year-old articles quickly on Google. Now it’s much harder.

I’ve started keeping a log of every interesting article I find since I know I won’t be able to find it earlier.

I’m also seeing a trend where they try and answer question and will pull from any source. The answer often being wildly wrong.

Saw one of “people also ask” where the source was some dudes fanfiction so the suggested question and answer were complete non sense.

> Deploying changes was just dragging over a file in Filezilla. Been thinking of building something new and considering learning node but PHP is right there. When I had to migrate to a new server I just copy - pasted the folders and away it went.

These days most organizations will not tolerate just copying files over. There will be a process for testing the code and then stuff will probably be put in a container, to be even easier to run on another server.

At that point the advantage of just sftp-ing files over disappears. It is no longer deemed safe enough to do so. Usually it is not the end of the world, if your website is down for a minute, but it does tarnish the public image of reliability, so organizations are not willing to put up with developers making a typo somewhere bringing down their website or causing at least an annoying error on the website.

Instead of copying files over to another server, you would typically do some docker pull or other container engine pull some image or what have you. Then you would run that previously tested thing on the server.

Probably very few or none of them, cryptography getting broken is common. There is no hint that this weakness was introduced on purpose.

Now, did the NSA find the attack on their own, kept it secret and hoped for standardization? One can only speculate.

Also, the NSA does not always try to backdoor everything like they did with DUAL_EC_DRBG. For instance, they modified the S-box of DES during the NIST standardization and refused to elaborate on why. The reason was later found, as people invented differential cryptanalysis and found that the NSA-modified S-box was resistant to it, when the original S-box was not: the NSA actually made DES stronger on purpose.

It was ubiquitous enough in urban and suburban areas in the US and Canada. The coverage of AMPS was solid, what was limited was the bandwidth and capacity - but there were far fewer users. Coverage in remote rural areas was poorer but still - in the late 80s it was being used for EMT transmittal of telemetry. And as stated using dedicated spectrum this is a 1970s tech. On rereading the OP I am more puzzled what they are talking about because it seems like they are talking about EMT monitoring as opposed to continuous home monitoring - the former we have been doing for 50 years.
To be fair, while this works great for certain subjects like computer science, there are things you can't learn online. Medicine, chemistry, biology, experimental physics and most of engineering require labs and tools and a level of personal oversight or interaction that's just not accessible to young people otherwise. You might be able to get rid of lecture halls in the long run, but you'll never get rid of labs.
