Yes it is

For one city it might be enough, but that sounds more like seed money than anything (especially for Deep-tech startups which seem to be the focus)



That's good to hear.

Yeah

I feel that medical language in the UK is dumbed down for your average (and let me reiterate again, average) person

Which is good for the majority but slightly unnerving if you don't like being talked down or wants to know what is really happening and have anything above very basic medical knowledge


How is the above quote dumbed down? To me it seems it is just ... communicated well.

I was speaking more generically, I agree that those pages do a great job of communicating.

But in general healthcare communication in the UK (and Ireland) do feel like they're dumbing down stuff for you


Agree a lot with the article

Especially 1 and 3

EE education has absolute dog-crap didacticism.

EEs also have an awful "holier-than-thou" attitude in Engineering.

And then you make it only worse by requiring "Masters only or above". Well guess why, because your graduation was spent going around stuff that goes from nowhere to nowhere else.


In chip design it is using languages like verilog that don't mean what they actually mean and just confuses everybody

Jeez, some people are just insufferable

I'm glad some people like https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105628#issuecommen... exists

"why this is not an extension" sounds like an awfully naive question. I'm not a Godot expert but I'd bet a very large amount of money that this is not in the realm of a simple extension, as flexible as Godot can be (and a check of the PR seems to confirm this)


With Godot, you can’t make sweeping platform changes—especially adding a new one—as an extension. This is the only path besides Apple forking Godot, which would be unworkable in the long run and obviously undesirable for both parties.

It's hilarious how the bastions of the free press were all over her emails but suddenly become almost mum at this

Then of course they are surprised nobody takes them seriously anymore


At this point I wonder if it's fear. They were able to cover the Clinton story because they knew no harm would come to them - the government wouldn't prosecute the press. But these stories, under this government, is the sort of thing where it could end up on the wrong side of an unchecked tyrant who is increasingly vocal about their desire to ignore due process.

The media companies ate so well and grew so fat covering the rise of fascism they didn't think what would happen when it finally gained power.


Notably, Krebs just had his security clearance revoked by Trump & Co. 12 days ago for posing "risks".

Nope. It's a different, unrelated Krebs

The Cybersec one is Brian Krebs


Oh wow - TIL! I wish I could edit or delete the above. Anyway thanks for correcting me.

I mean it is not hard to see federal employees leaking data just to spite musks' project.

You do not need russian attacks either, people in US leaking all sort of data every year.


Fear isn't the answer. Unionizing and supporting each other is. That's why they are going after the NLRB and unions.

If I were a journalist I don't know how much I would trust a union to stop ICE from pulling me out of bed in the middle of the night.

It's not about your union stopping them from pulling you out of bed, it's about what happens after that. Rumeysa Ozturk, the student who was abducted in Massachusetts was a member of a union and her union immediately sprang into action. Part of the reason this was national news so quickly was because her union took to the streets.

Of course it is. They’re all wondering who the first reporter is that is going to get disappeared to El Salvador.

There is a LOT of stuff to cover right now.

I think a part of it is simply that the space is absolutely flooded and the public becomes almost numb to it: This administration is so absolutely rampant with criminality, constitution shredding, and just rank incompetence that reports of more of the same just doesn't trend. I mean, it's similar to the fact that Trump lies about everything constantly -- even the most meaningless facts like his height and weight -- and soon it just isn't noteworthy that he continues lying about everything constantly. When Trump is caught in an obvious lie, which is basically a daily occurrence, he doesn't apologize, he doubles down, and this is his super power, at least among his incredibly stupid fans and base.

"But her emails" was when Hillary using a private server was actually so exceptional it was like the singular thing. Trump's crew of misfits and clowns and self-dealing grifters have turned the government into a circus. They're all insider trading, launching shitcoins, turning the WH lawn into a pathetic infomercial while your commerce secretary -- Howard "Used Car Salesman" Lutnick -- is pushing stocks.


You mean, his friends and the top levels

Make no mistake the 'kids' in doge will be the first to be thrown under the bus


Exactly that. It looks nice but it's annoying to debug

I do it in a similar way you mentioned


Just to be more realistic

H1-B without a degree and 19 y.o.? Not gonna happen

I'd believe the same for O-1 (and very few 19 y.o. have "extraordinary ability" without a degree. Very, very few.)

Easiest way would be to go get a degree in the US (of course, you need $ for this)
