From a couple of pages ago. The UK is not obsessed with Asian childrens' mathematics scores. The lovely reactionary UK media is obsessed with them, and as a result, the even shittier, and far far more reactionary right-wing UK government jump to the narrative of bashing kids who can't afford boarding schools and another stick to beat teachers with. Actual children in the UK are very good at (depending on the teacher ofc), and not too concerned with their mathematics scores. Most people I talk too are just sick of exams. You don't do exams and tests for projects in industry. Your sums better add up though. Any employer who makes you sit in a room without research material or internet access to do the problem at hand is a loving bad one. There is a movement to have children questioned on their knowledge and understanding of the subject by reasonable and sympathetic assessors. Show the work you have done and take some questions regarding it (a-la doctoral committee?). Exams can only ever tell you how good a child is at passing an exam. On one given day. Also, nobody really believes those (Asian) results. Especially anybody in tertiary education who has had to explain what calculus is for to the Asian kids.

Glenn Quebec posted:I'm not sure. Last week I got bitched at because I laughed at someone getting their foot stuck in a revolving door. Happened to me too. true story i was with a buddy of mine in the states, we were in the small college town he lives in. While at a cafee he lost his god drat poo poo at me. When I told him "real estate agents are scum" he was looking to buy. The reason is he thought i said " real estate asians are scum" we are both white. What makes it stand out to me other than the total non nonsensical-ness of what he misheard is that I've loving travel and lived in that totally monolithic land call "asia" have a rather "diverse" group of friends. But mr boring mc white bread was loving losing his poo poo at "my racism" Also the best scold we've had is AH just wanting a nanny and his frustration that being ethical makes his job hard.

$1000 a month plus a few little alterations to the landscaping should convince them to buy back the street at an inflated fee. Maybe put up some advertising billboards. Renting out the parking spaces to digital nomads in their clapped out combi vans would be great.

Haier posted:ARE U SURE IT'S NOT SOMETHING ELSE? "Why won't you love me?" -  Had about 4-5 conversations with mainlanders when I was in China on this topic, (they brought it up) and whenever I asked them, "why would Taiwan want to join China?" they would "blue screen" and then just regurgitate some phrase that had been drilled into them in school... "China is strong" "Taiwan is part of China" "Because China can help them develop" Usually I would counter with... "Taiwan's only fear is China taking over" "Taiwan is obviously not part of China" "Taiwan is more developed than China, by like a few decades" Then they would get angry and run off in a huff. Actual debate/reasoning is nearly impossibly with the kind of people who start this kind of dialogue.

Sten Freak posted:China built the world’s largest telescope, but has no one to run it I am surprised they didn't just lie saying the project is great and is producing science bigly. Clearly somebody hosed up by being honest. Their requirements were absurd as they want to buy a program off the shelf from their hire. $1.2 million dollars is not enough. I am guessing scientists in this field is in it for the passion, not the sweet greens. quote:One reason is that the requirements are fairly strict: The candidate must have at least 20 years of previous experience in the field, and he or she must have taken a leading role in large-scale radio telescope project with extensive managerial experience. The candidate must also hold a professorship, or equally senior position, in a world-class research institute or university.

As we previously learned, it's not so much the size of the dish, but the quality of the detector that matters. And in our case, that box is probably filled with rats.

I am guessing scientists in this field is in it for the passion, not the sweet greens. Also we've reached the point where foreign academics working in China have started to figure out that whatever they find/publish/create/patent will result in the following... -Your work is outright stolen -Your findings are perverted to meet the needs of the CCP -You will be working with idiots in an incredibly frustrating environment -You arrive and all of the whiz-bang facilities are not exactly what you expected -Universities back in the west won't take anything you come up with seriously and it might even damage your reputation and get you blackballed from certain scientific institutions. Or worse yet, if you don't play ball, your home university gets blackballed from China. Western archaeologists working in Egypt (and China) will find a lot of these sounding eerily familiar. JaucheCharly posted:As we previously learned, it's not so much the size of the dish, but the quality of the detector that matters. And in our case, that box is probably filled with rats. Also, didn't the dish itself have to have incredibly fine tolerances in its curvature and surfaces as well? China's great at building big, but not so much with building well/precise.

As part of a recent National Science Foundation review of its facilities, US officials placed the similar Arecibo radio telescope near the bottom of its priorities list. This meant the United States would cease operations at the facility, which costs the government about $8 million annually, to free up money for newer facilities. Basically Arecibo is barely worth the relative peanuts to run so why would anyone want to use FAST?

You'll see many here and at Fox News (America is the center of the world so everything that happens to us must happen to everyone else), the Daily Mail, Telegraph, at Business Insider (Anglo-owned trash tabloids), throughout all Indian media (deluded cow piss drinkers), and at FT (Japanese-owned). I like how "Japanese owned" is an insult right up there with "deluded cow piss drinkers", but a merit-based insult of "trash tabloids" is used for Anglo-owned, I guess being white saves some face.

The man introduced himself to Wu, a videogame developer who lives in the city whose name has been changed to protect his identity, as a senior manager from Tencent, the gigantic Chinese investment company which owns major holdings in major game studios around the globe, from Supercell to Activision, Epic to Riot. After some small talk, during which the manager boasted about Tencent’s grand plans to integrate VR into its digital store, he smiled, leaned in and told Wu: “We are working with the government and, when the time is right, Steam will not exist in China anymore.” chinese innovation lookin good
