Pretty decent article, thanks for posting it

Looks like optimizing value for shareholders is not compatible with quality, safety, or decent working conditions. There is too much control from these useless bloodsuckers in wall street.

Some effects started before brexit was official. As institutions and individuals sought to minimize negative impact. I recall reading about european students leaving british universities pre brexit.

Except wolfram alpha is able to correctly explain step by step solutions. Which was an aid in my education.

Cern has produced quite some interesting systems for software and data management. I am sure the added value of the work is beyond just understanding particles.

In a way, every image is from the past, so all boob pictures are younger tits.

A 90% agreement to strike sounds pretty high. The cohesion of the union is either very strong.Or, the potential impact to the passport control job is so high.

Either way i wish them good luck!

Honestly have no idea how far 100 miles is. 100 km however is not too bad.

Reminds me of the joker from Christofer Nolan's Batman. If things go according to plan, nobody cares. Even if its clearly fake, keeping up the resemblance of a working system raises less concerned citizens.

The true power of any country always lies with the people. For example, every previous chinese dynasty ended due to civilian uprising.

I have been learning some database stuff today. Finally understand the drop table thing better.

Well, chances are pretty low. There is not so much out there except the oord cloud. Even if something does hit, it would only punch a hole in the craft. Most of if would continue on.

I majored in physics, even living in a country with a ton of technology companies. There are only so many research labs, and only very few companies want dedicated physics people. Often they just want to run a mechanical simulation known as FEM, they hire mechanical engineers for it.

Also, physics is very broad. While companies are usually looking into a specific topic. If you didnt happen to stumble in the right area of physics you might not have valuable knowledge for a company. Often a Physics education is not even focused on deepening a specific topic, but more on how to solve complex problems. In my opinion that can be applied to many problems we face today, if given the chance.

Physics education is based on the idea of a renaissance man, one who knows how everything works. Companies simply don't care about that.

Its a mass produced bearing type. Most likely the cheapest option for both devices. Optimizing a bearing for a gerbil wheel seems like the real overengineering in my opinion.

I think this story is best capture by an obscure independant movie studie who are willing to do the original story justice. My feeling hollywood will try to make it "appeal to a wider audience" and somehow mess it up.

Respect for the choreographed movements during the tribunal.

That crest is very characteristic of a goldcrest. I know of two sub species of gold crests, one has the yellow stripe the other a slightly orange stripe and body

This seems to me like the goldfinch, regulus regulus. Not the common firecrest , regulus ignicapilla.

My information sources is the Merlin Bird spotting app.

EDIT: the correct name is not goldfinch but goldcrest. As it is not in the finch family at all.

In Dutch: ant football

Experienced a river flooding due to excessive rainfall. Both on a small scale on a camping where some tents floated away, which was kind of funny because the owners had warned not to pitch the tents to close to the river.

More recently witnessed a large scale flooding last winter when large parts of the rhine flooded. There were no casualties in my region, but the damage was quite severe. Very sobering to see the death toll in the upstream regions. Also the impact to agriculture and infrastructure, with frequent rain keeping the ground fully saturated for months al the way up to summer.

Water is so vital for human civilization, and yet also very dangerous.

Why is it possible for a company to sue a union? Everyone should have a right to unionize and strike.

And its cheaper to watch someone do it. Quality timber and tools are expensive.

As mentioned in the article, the numbers of elephants in botswana are growing. And the large number of elephants are causing problems with the human population. You need to do something with the situation.
