@Rajumisra @Lost_World A pity they ruined the original plan... but still amazingly came out.

@lunascaped Is it just a timer?

@GustavinoBevilacqua Eh, sarebbe da risalire al modello e se c'è la documentazione scrivere un driver.
Non dovrebbe essere troppo difficile.

@collette @eviloatmeal @fritzcokid @roadskater @SulliiRafi @MostlyHarmless I was in China, near Shenzen. I was building intercoms on the assembly line. You work a lot, but actually do earn a bit of money to save: the company was providing food and housing at a cheap price. Not that I had a lot of time to spend that money, I was working 14 hours a day and after the last shift I'd just go to sleep.

My company internet access blocks youtube, which I need for my job, and not porn websites...
Changed the dns and finally I can follow my youtube courses.
Apparently they don't care which dns server you use.

@steveumstead It doesn't say the software is in beta.
I believe the biggest problem is not the software itself, which clearly isn't perfect, but how it is sold.
It is sold as autonomous driving and that is how people use it, which is clearly dangerous.
It should be sold and used as a driving assistant, not as a full replacement of the driver.

@eviloatmeal @fritzcokid @roadskater @SulliiRafi @MostlyHarmless You don't need billions to eat healthy, actually rich people generally don't eat so well and any person who earns a little bit of money and isn't starving can eat better than them.
I'll tell you, when I was working in a factory in China at the inn we were eating quite good food, and that was free of charge.
But yes, being healthy doesn't mean you'll be rich...

It's the good old correlation is not causation.

@lucifargundam I thought these were substituted benzene rings being displayed on a terminal.
Now, that would be a cool idea!

This year only half the doctoral thesis written in the University of Santiago de Compostela were in English.
42 of these were in Galician, which might make sense considering 44 of these thesis were written by Spanish students working in the fields of arts and humanities, thus they might have written stuff about Galician literature in Galician.

This fact to me highlights the poor aperture of Spanish academics to the outside world and plummets the value of their work.
Some time ago, I was talking with a professor about a possible collaboration and he sent me a PhD thesis of one of his students to give me an overview of what they've been doing. This thesis was in Spanish, I didn't even read it. I believe that if you feel you've done a good work you'll try to share it with other people as much as possible, publishing a thesis in Spanish makes me think you do not value your work enough to make it accessible to other researchers.
I'm disappointed by the Spanish researchers because of this.
Indeed, lots of good researchers are Spanish and I've read plenty of good articles with Spanish authors; however, I believe that this kinds of things lowers the value of their research.

@danielcolquitt @xtaldave People start a PhD at 21 in the UK? That's impressive!
I started my first year of bachelor at 19, and that's the normal age in Italy...

@danielcolquitt @xtaldave I see, it's good to hear things are improving over there. Don't get me wrong, I heard much worse things: I'm now in Spain and here many PhD students don't get any money at all.
I'd never accept such conditions though: assuming a person doing a PhD is supposedly smart they can easily find a better paying job.
I've been lucky as I got employed to do a PhD, thus I get both the best of an employee and of a student.

@North Nice, these guys have some money to spend
I'll take a look, I'd like to be able to point people who wish to make drugs for themselves to good formative resources, especially if they focus on safety.

@xtaldave @danielcolquitt Does that mean you don't get a retirement for those years?
I don't know what's the price of life in the UK, but I heard it's quite expensive, I'm sure you can survive with these 1400£ a month, but probably not afford a good life.

@danielcolquitt Looks like a nice project
Is this a common salary for a PhD in the UK? It feels extremely low.
