I'm not interested in migrating to US for ideological and culinary reasons, but that a very intresting website, thanks!

Please give a list of companies (Europe/Japan) where I can apply for such a salary. I started working recently and I'm at more than 10 times less than this...

It's indeed pretty scummy to dox you in what was a pseudonymous post.

Also other posts in this thread seems like victim blaming. Just because someone is famous doesn't make him a good person.

>"No one died in the 2003 outbreak"

Yet we will be stripped of our rights again for the exclusive benefits of a fews mega-corps and the "news" reportings are preparing the ground for it. At least this time I'll have some money to invest in the company producing the vaccine.

Fell free to ask any Native American to get an insightful answer to this question.

>I imagine in Europe, it's probably Paris and London that draws both French/British and foreigners.

Lol no. Most people go in Paris because it's where they can found a job opportunity or for studies but wouldn't have otherwise, and a whole part of the country (which I belong too) view it has a place to actively avoid for living. And I can't think of anyone that's hated more outside of Paris than Parisians.

Yes, probably the saddest thing I read this week. Self-promotion on twatter and HN is different than forming friendship. The goold old days of fora was way better to make friends from the internet IMO. Nowadays everything seems to be a link aggregator which fundamentally change how people interact with each other.

Also it may be more an academic thing, but cold emailing is a good way to make contact. Not necessarily friends thought it can happen but at least it can make projects advance, with very little (public) noise.

What I find fascinating about discussions about IQ (tests) is how they trigger a whole class of people. It's like there are smart people who are confident about their intelligence, less than bright who are conscious about their shortcomings on the matter, and in-between a whole bunch of midwits who can't accept that smarter people than them exist and thus declare IQ (tests) measure nothing.

This reminds me story: during my first (failed) PhD attempt, I had a supervisor working on a knowledge graph system for education. Great! I was doing something very similar, except I had an algorithm for presenting it in a linear way. So I shared my concern that students will not be able to understand and make use of a graph representation. Like almost everything I said in the following years, it was immediately dismissed and I quickly stopped trying to work on this with that guy.

Fast forward 2-3 years later, I ask about a student that was somewhat working on that project with this supervisor, he replied "oh, I stopped working on that, it doesn't work, student are confused by the graph!" In the meantime, I've also read a paper in another field that said users don't understand graph representation.

I still think that graphs can be useful for knowledge management, but it has to stay an implementation details not shown to the user.

Thanks, that was an interesting watch.

I'm now at the age where puns are dad jokes because it's my dad laughing to them. It was pretty satisfaying few days ago when he was yelling "vos gueules" (shut up) at birds, to which I said "That why they're called Vogel in German", and made him laugh out loud.

It's very understandable for prevent frauds. The last election in the US was disputed and disputable in the first place because of how easy it is to cheat.

> Compare that to the US where you can email your vote in a lot of states if you live overseas... and it becomes clear that access to vote is just not a priority for France.

That's not true. As a former expat, the only annoying thing is establishing a proxy since it can only be done during "tournées consulaires" dedicated for it, that are of course very rare. I feel the election is fairer without possible easy way to hack-in votes.

Fake news now in English... For anyone not familiar with the French version, Le Monde, at least in its digital incarnation, is pure state/oligarch propaganda. Each and every article and editorial is published to push a narrative, the same you heard on other channels (public TV and radion, etc.) anyway. Don't waste your time reading it or even spending money on it. Their section Les décodeurs ("fact"-"checking") is even most specialized in the twisting of facts and reality to reach a predetermined conclusion. It's a little less obvious than Kremlin's propaganda, but only slightly.

The only use I have for this newspaper, which I consult a few times a week, is getting informed of what the government and CAC40 top's CEOs want me to think, then I think the reverse.

You are very wrong, and I know not only because I learned some Japanese (C1 level) and some Chinese (A2), and experimented first hand how easy and helpful it's to transfer vocabulary, but also because I read a lot of the scientific literature on this exact subject. Japanese has 60-70% compound words using morphemes of Chinese origin, and about 60% percent have the same exact meaning in this two languages[1].

Learning vocabulary is also not "the easiest" part of learning a language either, it's one of the most fundamental step of learning a language, which take a massive amount of time. If time can be shelved here (and indeed is in-between Japanese-Chinese, Japanese-Korean, etc. even Vietnamese to Japanese) it can be reinvested elsewhere. Heck, I've seen a Taiwanese girl getting her JLPT N3 after one semester of Japanese study just thanks to the shared vocabulary and characters.

>Reading isn't even a part of knowing a language.

I thought trolling was against the rules here?

$9 (or $6 if paid annually) per month is very expensive, especially for an app that should be a one time payment. I'll stick with my green square grid inside OneNote.

>best open world games released in the last 20 years, [...] I'm talking about Breath of the Wild.

BotW, if it wasn't for the Zelda tag in it's name, would have been judged for what it truely is: a very mediocre game. It does almost eveything wrong: the reward loop isn't satisfactory because getting a weapon that will break after a few hit feel useless, the cooking system has no tutorial and is hard to understand wihtout looking up on the internet and once understood is very tedious to use more a few time in a row, there is a lack a variety in enemies that are just copy-pasta of each other, the rain is basically stopping exploration as soon as it starts, thunder is even more infuriating: it's just a punishing mechanic that does the finger to the player, the world is big but empty, the shrines are mini-games designed by interns and feel often very out of place just as the UI (the red magnet for instance) are breaking immersion, the controls... oh the controls there are 16 different buttons + 2 joysticks (that are also clickable) on the Switch and every. single. of. them. is. used. for some action. That's 20 input to remember (I don't), bring me back the GameCube controller with its 7 buttons please! Aweful monetization too: a basic feature in an adventure game (path roamed by the player) is locked behing a DLC, and a lot of equipments are locked behind physical and expensive DLC (Amiibo). Very few memorable NPCs, forgettable music, almost no story, the list goes one.

In conclusion: this is likely the most overrated game in existence. But a Zelda (or Mario or Pokemon) in the name and people will buy it and like it whatever the quality. I regretted almost instantly spending money on it.

>I'm of the opinion that this leads to a good rule of thumb: never memorize anything

Did you ever learn another language? It's impossible without memorizing a massive amount of things, especially when the writing system is different than the one one is familiar with. In fact the most famous researcher in vocabulary learning (Paul Nation) states in one of his book that rote learning is one of the most efficient use of time.

I'm of the reverse opinion that memorizing things is a "secret trick" particularly effective, that is put aside by a lot of people because it takes effort.

While I agree with parts of your post, not providing software is a very different story than fucking up people computers for a xenophobic and virtue signalling reason (the developer peacenotwar was not concerned by the ongoing war). What this developer did is in the like of the computer attacks allegedly coming from China/Russia/North Korean that the US whine about all the time.

I'm interested in your solution between Macs as my second one (MBP 2015) is not supported by Apple's feature.

It's a strawman and I'm tiring of reading it everywhere. Ukrainians are Europeans, it's normal they're flying to neighbouring countries, that is European ones. Syrians are Middle-Easterners, it would be logical for them to flee to wealthy neighboring countries (most does: Lebanon is hosting millions of them) which are geographically, linguistically, culturally and religiously closer to them like Saudi Arabia or Israel. Europe doesn't owe anything to non-Europeans, especially when there are millions.
