the world of the rich vs the average person…

has the US considered…not funding them?

Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.

where do you live that there’s not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?

Wish it’d be acceptable for people to call out reps/senators for “doing the bidding” of other countries too

I wouldn’t use “never get to experience” but i would say it’s much harder to have that real sense of community that we easily found in the 90s, early 2000s, etc.

People are more connected to others but still more isolated from others. We were less connected to other people back then so people made a real effort to come up with fun activities and bond together. For kids, it’s the lack of just playing outside in the neighbourhood with friends. For adults, it’s the lack of third places and community/religious events.

Would you rather he, as a non-government affiliated citizen, pick a side? War is stupid. Communication is great. Maybe this is naive of me, but I think the world would be better, and maybe require less war, if everyone had equal access to communication.

I recently read about Ted Hall who shared nuclear secrets with the Soviet Union because he thought everyone should have equal access to nuclear weapons and this would prevent another world war.

Your logic is similar and it’s not a good thing.

my guy…

US citizens are obligated to enter the US on their US passport. They are also obligated to file taxes regardless of where they live. As a US citizen, you could be living on Mars for your whole life and still have to file US taxes.

You also have what, 6 years of back taxes to file? You should find a CPA with knowledge us US/German tax laws to prepare that for you. There may be treaties in place.

As someone else said, there’s also the selective service you were supposed to have registered for

I know some Gen Z recent grads who use chatgpt to write their code.

back in my day, we had to write our code ourselves…

ah i see thank you

Yes, so is this the same Hue as in the cloud?

isn’t hue a kind of vietnamese soup? bun bo hue?

modern problems, modern solutions

Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

i hate that i can read this

Auto bonds increased in kind, as lenders packaged those loans together and sold them as securities on Wall Street, where ratings agencies labeled them as largely safe investments.

can you explain this in layman’s terms? this means the loans that people take to buy cars, they got packaged together and sold as an investment for other people?

Israel is an important geopolitical ally in a region that is quite hostile to the US generally.

yes, it’d explain why the govt supports it but it seems many americans support it and they are not even jewish

Why do americans support israel so much, especially blindly/ignoring any problems? they don’t have any historical relation to it right?

oh, thank you

my background is not in engineering which explains my confusing questions

Level 1a. Stuff slightly more complicated than a list of settings, usually for something like a VFD or a stepper motor controllers. Not as common.

Level 2 PLCs, HMIs, and the black magic robotic stuff. Stand alone equipment. Like imagine a machine that can take something, heat it up, and give it to the next machine.

Level 3: DCS and SCADA. Data control center and whatever SCADA stands for, I always forget. This is typically for integrating or at least data collection of multiple stand alone equipment for level 2.

Level 4: the integration layer between Level 3 and whatever means the company has for entering in sales.

Like everything in software this is all general. Some places will mix layers, subtract layers, add them. I would complain about the inconsistent nature of it all but without it I would be unemployed

Is this specific software engineering languages? or is this electrical engineering or what kind of work is this?

this is software speciifcally for assembly line management?

because tiktok replaced yotube in that regard
