  1. How to sort on Who'd Go To University Today? (spiked-online.com) · · Score: 1

    Make a list of university options as needed.
    Read the past years of news about the university.
    Do they select students only on merit?
    Have to pass exams and tests to show the ability to "study" before getting accepted?
    Is the published news about merit and quality? Look into that university.

    Protests and a political activist campus is the only news about that university? Demands for more protests and activism? Avoid.
    Keep looking for a university thats supports academic skills.

    5G is the fix. Short distant design and more network speed. The ability to sell most users a new device. Then force a total upgrade to 5G as the old networks are not supported.

    That adsl will support one "TV" like image thats not HD, 4K.
    Sit around the TV and enjoy.

  5. Re:So everyone will have broadband access soon? on It's the Beginning of the End of Satellite TV in the US (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Paper insulated wireline will support one old "TV" image on adsl. Not great HD. Not 4K.
    That will remove the need to use profit on the next satellite.

  6. AC AF equipment is expensive. Most nations test and re test their AF people to ensure their AF can "fly" when needed.
    The AF is one part of the mil that has to "work" as people/media tend to notice the flying part.
    Its not like a ship/sub that can be returned to port and have contractors repair for months in secret.
    A new tank that can be put on the back of a big truck and repaired later.

    Spending millions only to find out later that a person will never be able to fly is another problem many AF took decades to study and understand.
    AF got tired of having so many pilots who could not take the g forces.

    The other end of the scale was Project 100,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... that accepted random people well below all military mental or medical standards.

    The question for US "Military Intelligence" now is to show all "chat" was 100% domestic to the USA.
    The complex intelligence work of another friendly nations "military intelligence" :)
    Another nation doing intelligence gathering on all ranks of the US mil?

  7. The old method was to wait in bars and clubs around any US/UK mil site and offer instant friendship.
    Get to know the base workings and slowly find someone with some lifestyle to hide.

    Was this just the start of a decade long spy attempt to map out US officers personality traits by chatting with their low rank staff?

  8. It also depends on the style of the property. Does each room have the same style?
    Got a 1980's look with bright color artwork fixed to walls that will have to be considered in the price?
    Stone stuck all over walls in another room?
    Does the kitchen still work? As in layout, look, location of water, gas, power. Size. Style expected after 2018?
    Stair railings and handrails exist and are ok?
    Does the government have more tax to collect and will see any "property" as the one thing everyone can agree on as the way to collect new tax?

    Every room needs work to make the style correct from room to room?
    Thats before an expert looks at whats is "sound" re permits, past "work" done, code, insurance, past water damage, past "approved" "renovations" and "repair" work done?
    Earthquake, environmental laws?

    Buying a "property" and having to sell again for unexpected reasons? Will it sell again without a lot of work?

  9. People pay a lot to get their medical profession from a great university.
    Selection on merit.
    Years of study and professional standing the in community.
    Show their university as the best now keeps value in their resume for decades.

    People playing games at home do expect their next GPU to offer 4K support, a great refresh rate and always support the needed frame rate.
    Then a move to 5K and later 8K support..
    Time to design a better GPU and CPU.

  11. How to make existing CPU sell as a new GPU.

    Find a lot of working and well understood CPU product.
    Spread out a lot of CPU hardware over a long GPU looking card. A long card to fit more CPU all the way along.
    Add powerful cooling and a new look to the brand.
    Many working CPU with an easy to support open source driver get sold as a powerful new look GPU.

    Show the world a ray tracing demo.
    That existing CPU design is sold at a new GPU price.

    Start thinking of the next generation.
    Add more memory and more cpu. Take up over 4 slots. Add more power connectors along the card. More cooling.

  13. Whats the next expectation after language use?
    That average and mediocre code has to be added to a project to make the project meet a new code of conduct?
    That code that fails is ok as the person has to learn and they should have that ability to be part of a project too?

    AC its even more simple. Spread the police all over a city and the "radio assignments pending" problem starts to add up to hours.
    Thats why a city wide profile works so well. Lots of police in an area they know is going to need support.

  20. Re:Disease? on US Life Expectancy Falls Further (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do "complex factors" make the USA so very unique?
    A series of advanced nations have the same levels of decades of industrialization in and around their city areas.
    The same transport, factory products. The US did improve on occupational safety and health. Such a large number of industrial conditions would be easy to track.
    The same levels of water treatment. The same ability to design working sewer systems. For many decades.
    Food should be of the same quality to average working and middle class populations. Doctors do notice and report conditions resulting from a lack of food.

    Back to the question of what a well funded US wide epidemiologist study could find.
    What are the "societal and economical problems" that makes some advanced nations able to do "health" care on average for their average populations?
    Re "Genetics, lifestyle choices, random chance, environmental factors."
    Hows the US populations "genetics" different?
    Lifestyle choices? Are other advanced nations making their populations do more sport more often?
    What are the "random chance" factors unique to the USA not spread over other advanced nations globally?
    Re "environmental factors? Lots of unexpected super fund sites in middle class and working class communities all over the USA nobody has ever noticed?
    A US epidemiologist would have found that polluted area and published on that interesting collection of medical conditions.
    Advanced nations like the USA can track and gather long term health information related to unexpected health problems in any community.

    AC the results of the decades of "consequences" can be seen in US cities.
    Drug addicts, trash, waste. Tent cities and parked RV. A crime rate in parts of city areas.

    To keep on using the same politics will just result in more crime, more waste, more junk, more blocked streets.
    The city areas need new investment. That needs crime to stop. The waste and trash to be cleaned. Vandalism to stop.
    Utilities have to be upgraded. That might bring in new investment and some tax revenue from profitable businesses.

    Allowing more crime, more criminals will not result in a better city. Having illegal migrants use city services is a cost to the city.
