If someone makes more money staying at home that is a damning indictment that living wages aren’t being paid, which frankly in a wealthy country is pretty unacceptable. Being angry that they are being paid more is the wrong thing to be angry about, be angry they don’t make a fair wage the rest of the time.

I doubt it, most Americans spit in the eye of the ideals of its original colonists and founding fathers for good or ill.

I would take more stargate over this, there is actually some interesting parts of this series, but most of it is pretty annoyingly stupid. Will probably do what I’ve done with every season of this, fast skip my way through it in an hour or two to catch the plot points and ignore the inane stuff where people are just…

Yeah smaller cohorts make for easier examination, from first hand experience it is no fun marking 20 exams let along 100 or even 200 as some guys were doing. I was luck when I did my PhD that I was based out in industry so only came back to the University to either be taught or deliver teaching. The guys I knew that…

I was kind of hoping you would say you ran a mechanic shop or hardware store.

That issue only comes if the lecturers are lazy and don’t write good tests. As someone that worked in academia I totally get how much of a pain it is to write tests. A lot of the issue comes from not writing an appropriate test, if you write a test for open book you can totally remove a lot of the work i.e. you just…

On recording temperatures I hope you are doing it properly as it can absolutely be a huge risk when not done properly, or utterly useless if done using the wrong equipment. There are a lot of companies using various types of temperature monitoring, but it is often not being done with medical grade equipment or using…

Sorry got your username mixed up with another Giz regular that is a journalist.

Sounds like a proper minimum wage is required if it is better to be on unemployment. It isn’t really a good thing to be unemployed in a lockdown with no real prospects, so if it is genuinely a problem then that means the underlying policies are totally crap.

Test rates are proportional in an ideal scenario with infection rates, if the infection rate is under control in a country it would be incredibly surprising to see that the percentage is the same. The only case that would be happening is if there was a policy of mass surveilance testing in both countries, which in S…

And?

Technically if it is done by a legitimate entity or the government in place is illegal it doesn’t really fit the majority of definitions of a Coup d’état

Things like this are the reason why I’ve been very supportive of the more recent trend to move towards open book examinations. I just wish they were around when I was an undergrad, I hated having to memorise things and then doing something correctly and not getting any marks just because you mix a factor around.

They’ve been making high powered mobile stuff for a while now ever since Nvidia really started pushing the market in that direction with Tegra.

Part of that aggressiveness is that the hardware on the Quest is good enough rather than ideal. That means to get the QC to the level of consistency and provide enough support to developers is pretty extreme.

Most likely you had a faulty unit or you didn’t give it enough time, it does take a bit for your brain to readjust to it. Some people just always struggle, but I’ve found those few and far between.

Phones and tablets game pretty well, it’s a massive market for games, the games themselves are also significant games in their own right.

I’m sure there are applications for it, I also know that there aren’t any yet and all the ones available in other platforms using existing frameworks work just fine with the existing cheaper suite of sensors.

You can’t really do that, you can make a non VR game VR, but unless you design it that way from the outset it would be incredibly difficult to implement properly.

I did my PhD only a few years ago, definitely far from retired and not a boomer.
