Very sensible take. If you want to study Latin American gender roles and it’s your own money, and a college can break even on its cost to teach you that, you should be able to. When it’s someone else’s money, the outcome changes.

If it’s your own money, college can be whatever you want. When it’s someone else’s, they get to be involved in making a decision as to what college is for.

Or “Law Enforcement Agents Go Undercover”.

I got the MSCS from U Illinois on there. It was more work than I expected even with one class a semester. I definitely learned a lot I could use in my current role.

I was in the inaugural class and it was pretty smooth other than one professor there who was an asshole and felt that online classes were beneath him. It felt like we got scraps from the table (then Covid happened and online was everywhere). Also, one prof quit just before the semester on a required class that seniors had to take and a replacement couldn’t be found in time. They offered us alternatives which weren’t really good class replacements.

Strongly recommend if your time and money is limited.

So you're saying we understand it even less than todays rates lol. But your comment is definitely understood, it's crazy how things (particularly prices!) changed pre and post covid.

It's clear to me who the bad guys are. Too bad the left calls eliminating them "war crimes" and "genocide" lol

What nonsense "war crimes" are you on about now?

I put all my files in a folder. I’d simply get them there. No concern about this at all.

Great idea and I’ll definitely try it but all those flags needed to run the startup command scare me lol

This is a classic thread that never gets old

You sound like someone who has never been poor. Or whose family has never been poor. Easy to have “spine” when you can depend on someone else for money.

For the 98% of people on here that have no idea of the Yen conversion rates, we are talking about 60 usd to 184-600 usd, or 55 euro to 162-550 euro

I don't know, arguing gives me kind of a high, even when my position is weak. I don't go out of my way to argue (especially about politics) but if you bring up a point I oppose, I don't stay quiet.

Glad I’m not the only one who sees the potential issues with these things

We will vote when we want - nothing you are going to do will possibly stop it lol

The X link has screenshots where the two products have lots of identical pages. Is that IPable? Honestly don't know since I seem to use a lot of products that look like other products (LibreOffice, etc). But the pages for obscure things looking identical is kind of sus.

Yep - I am a heavy pc gamer but I much prefer GTA on my PlayStation

I recently watched a video for one of these “Chinese Models” it kept insisting it was Claude when the user asked. Sorry, there’s no “slur” here but legit suspicion.

It’s like people don’t test this stuff with regular people - they just test how to maximize revenue with enough nonsense

But can it play Crysis?

I can see how that’s confusing. But I always remembering people saying “can I speak candidly about this?” With them following up going off on the subject in detail and lots of emotion.

People who use it more really should contribute something vs those who never use it.

It’s a low ethic move to be clear but weren’t they paying to have servers to store your data all those years?

Selfhost with Unraid and Immich.

You’ll get downvoted to hell for this comment but it’s a legitimate concern, especially as Europe throws more of its money into socialist nonsense. It’s time for Europe to start picking up more of the tab, NATO included.

Or Europe and Asia can handle more of the cost.

I remember using it in my college days in the 90s.

People joining my company from academia usually know Mathematica along with Python or R.

When we tell them we don’t use Mathematica they are sometimes initially concerned. They are typically quite opinionated and I have yet to hear an employee complain about no longer having access to Mathematica. Or SPSS, SAS, or MiniTab for that matter.

Maybe something like "not library available" or "lending restricted"?

I understand the point you are trying to make and you have good evidence backing your statement ("alcohol is banned the stadium", etc) but when it comes to books, when people hear ban, they think Fahrenheit 451 or The Khmer Rouge burning books. So I also understand the OPs point.

Unless you're an alcoholic, banning alcohol in schools or stadiums isn't quite the hardship of arresting people for owning To Kill A Mockingbird.

Its connotation has changed in the same way that people calling others "Nazis" and "Fascists" has changed with the constant misuse of them.

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's "propaganda". The fact you say things like this show people that they should constantly be questioning the science.

I know just as much as you do about this, if not more - so it's terribly frustrating to me. I have been a scientist in a time where lots of political nonsense from the left didn't interfere with good science. Scientists are mostly NOT villains, though some use their positions to espouse various progressive nonsense that have nothing to do with good science.
