Berkeley has no legacy admission...

And only a few years later many of the survivors would be killed in WW1...

Abut 10 years ago, City of Los Angeles tried to ban engine-powered leaf blowers (driven by people tired of the noise pollution) but was reversed when local gardeners made a big stink about it.

Samsung moved most or all of their factories from China recently.

"Science is essentially what a few large donors or institutions or interest groups want to fund."

Quote from a disillusioned researcher.

Don't start your IT/tech career with AWS certification first.

- Instead, learn some scripting (bash, python). You will need to constantly work on improving this.

- Learn how to set up a Linux server and get a website going, from scratch. Even if you won't do it much in real life, it's helpful to know how it's done.

- Get at least AWS Associate cert.

- Find an employer/manager who will let you work with AWS in lab/production in real life.

This reminds me of a post here before. I read someone here post how he got his initially unwilling teen son to learn how to code.

The dad tried to get him into learning to code but the son was uninterested

However after the son worked at a sandwich shop for 6 months earning minimum wage, the son came to dad asking for help with learning how to code.

I thought that was hilarious.

Theoretically one family could even get 2 starlink services if they really needed faster link. No physical line is used so I can totally see some people doing that if they really want to and can afford it.

Meanwhile, I read on this thread that UCSF admitted less Asians.

It was 40% last year. It's been now cut to 22%.

That is a gigantic shift of a demographic of a new medical school class. Within one year.

You sure about that? That number sounds so extreme that I have to see official source to believe it...
