I use messenger on Facebook web through. I do have the app as well, but the web works.

None. I just install os and use it without any encryption and such. It’s more important for me to be able to access data on device failure than encrypt it.

Yeah, international fees are super expensive. As someone that has almost always received free education it scares me a lot. Funnily that’s still cheaper than paying US universities.

I’m almost done with my PhD so changing the lab would be more trouble than worth it. If it was allowed I could move and finish PhD remotely in 6-8 months, but I kind of need PhD for immigration points (no work experience in last 5 years). A post doc that pays well would be ideal. But I’m open to industry jobs as well.

Luckily my degree is in the green list for now. I heard they change it based on their demands.

It was helpful, Thank you.

I’ll look into the politics.

Academia does seem a bit small for my field, and being an experienced professor probably would have helped compared to barely finishing PhD. I consider my skills flexible enough to work in a variety of industries, but to qualify for the skilled visa I’d have to find work in the industry I have degree in.

Seems like the right shift is kind of global. I don’t see any other country being a good choice either. And we did see the tension, and the haka.

How’s science though? Main problem we have here is that people don’t really respect science anymore. Which is something that we find really scary long term.

We were thinking of moving using the skilled visa, which seems hard because we need a job offer prior to visa application. So if you have money you can just come?

Any Kiwis here can tell me if it’s a good country to immigrate to? I will have PhD soon, and want to contribute to open access research if possible.

So far the country looks great because we like slow life, but idk if that’s just for citizens or also for immigrants.

Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?

Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it’ll work. You can write ‘feet per second’ instead of ‘ft/s’ and it’ll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there’s less chances of it making a mistake.

Same way people in the past probably said there’s no way you can make anything work without a mechanical mechanism? Can you imagine what an electronic device/chip would look to someone from far past? People thought humans couldn’t fly.

Those “fundamental science” is just us making sense of the universe in a way we can observe it and even then we don’t know everything. Can you imagine how different the universe looks if you just shift the electro magnetic waves you can see.

I also like it very much. I hope they make a library for it soon, I can’t wait to use it to make unit aware calculators.

I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it’s two units combined.

Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that’s just the final value.

Doesn’t even work well on a single monitor on Wayland. It gets confused with screen size or sth, fills a small area on top left with screen contents and lot of black space

Gnu units does unit conversion. Also seems to have currency. It’s a command line tool though

My ex did tell me I’m shorter than she wants her bf to be. I was still talker than her by 2-3 inch but she wanted me taller than her in heels. And suggested I do exercises to get taller.

I ended it with her soon after that. I think if someone has thought like that, there are other common patterns that makes the relationship too much to worth it. My wife now is same height as me and we’re happy about that, height difference of several inches seems weird/difficult to imagine now.

On this topic it’s also good at finding you a acronym full form that can spell out a specific thing you want. Like you want your software to spell your name/some fun world but actually have full form related to what it does , AI can be useful.

Git works through ssh. So you need the same system as sshing into your machine. You just make a user group git and then let git and ssh handle things. And if you don’t need people to push to your repo, then it’s a lot easier as it’s now similar to hosting a website/file server.

If they care enough about how I think they’d give cash. Or no gifts at all, because the concept of “I have to give a gift for …” Just makes me accumulate more things that I won’t use, coz most things I use I buy.

I do appreciate greatly when someone asks what I want and I can give them a list of things that need at the moment, or something I’d like to have bit feels like too much money to spend for the low amount of use I’d get. Buying random things when I can’t think of things has never worked in my favor.

Yup gift cards are like money but with limited use. And sometimes expiration dates.

I think there’s significant portions if it that don’t get used at all, which is free money (profit) to the company. Or maybe they don’t count it as profit because people may use it, idk.

I thought the gov wrote this, just a joke huh

Honestly there’s probably something similar already. Because the loans are already a way to keep people in the country. You increase the educational expenses by a lot, make people take loans, and then make them pay a lot more after graduation. Since other countries have cheap/free education they don’t offer high salaries, so people don’t leave your country to work on other countries coz they can’t pay those loans on low salary.
