This is the thing that made covid great. Historically, the anti-vaccine crowds are like this crowd, where they make a bad decision and their child has to pay for it. An innocent child that has no control over his or her situation.

The great thing about covid, is that the people who decide not to take the vaccine are the ones who could potentially die. Now this isn’t totally true. Kids spread the disease to other kids and potentially grandparents or the elderly. Get the disease and even if they’ve been vaccinated to take a die. But at least on the first order, the idiot anti-vaccine people are the ones who get really sick.

It was advice I have myself in college… Don’t focus on getting good grades, focus on learning. Judge your success on how much you learned.

The only time my grades actually mattered was interviewing for jobs right out of college. After that, every other job is based on your previous job and non no one ever asked again.

I’m in engineering and it this doesn’t necessarily translate to other fields. But I’m currently the cto for a mid sized tech company.

No, it doesn’t. The ambiguity rises from the fact that it’s not that repeatable. There are many experiments that don’t find this phenomenon to exist when they test it. Then there’s some that do. That’s the problem.

My memory is that the majority of them find that it doesn’t exist and that a small minority find that it does.

Many studies of this are actually ambiguous!.

Like the other person commented, I use Firefox Plus adblocker on my phone and it’s fine.

It’s not weird that you meet someone through your parents, it’s weird that instead of starting a 10% of a relationship, they start at 90%. . Like they skipped a courtship, have two or three dates and then get married. That’s the part, as an American, I have a hard time accepting.

But hey, in my preferred model you should be living with your significant other for at least a year or two before you get married.

We did the disposable camera thing too, and out of them we got zero good shots from them. I don’t regret doing that, but I also don’t recommend it.

They also have to be within your budget, and they have to be available on the day of your wedding.

So many people here don’t really know what they’re talking about. Chip companies can’t cut corners on stability because of the amount of money that goes into everything around the chips is huge. If you think of a PC motherboard and you look at how many components are on that board now, imagine if one of the company’s cheaped out on a chip and didn’t bother testing it before sending it out and the only time they found out it was bad was when they finished making a board. The cost of finding, repairing and replacing those components far exceeds the pennies that they save by cheaping out.

The real answer is that their customers are a user of the chips and the cost of a bad part is massively more expensive than a tiny savings in manufacturing the chip.

The only place they cheap out on parts is in things that are standalone and dirt cheap such as an RFID chip. I’ve seen those get manufactured without test and only at the very end after they’ve been assembled to their antenna they then test and reject the ones that fail. They get away with it there only because the cost of the chip and antenna are so cheap.

Imagine Apple putting a sub-tier component in their phone and having to recall 10% of their phones because of it. It’s unheard of. The people who buy the chips are usually companies that use them and they have a very low threshold for bad components. While it’s true, some parts are binned for performance, they are never binned for quality.

Note - I’ve been involved in the test of semiconductors for the past 20+ years making load boards (package test) and probe cards (Wafer test) for many different IC manufacturers.
