Why?

28 pounds = 12.7kg, for those wondering.

If your individuality is all tied up in your physical appearance, try to develop your mind a bit.

Kind of condescending, no? Also, they’re kids. Teenagers especially are all about their phsyical appearance… and their minds are developing.

I love bonfire night. Controversial opinion but it’s way better than Halloween.

It is kinda annoying when you’re in a rush and need something right there on the spot, but it says it has to update before you can use it, and then you’re there for what feels like an eternity.

Only time will tell.

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

Bit of an over-reaction to one incident. I’d be willing to bet the uptime, reliability and scalability of AWS is significantly better than what the vast majority of in-house solutions could do. It’s absolutely not worth going back.

Millions of customers using AWS also weren’t affected - the company I work for certainly wasn’t, although some of our tools like Jira were.

I don’t care enough to warrant spending any little free time I have fucking about installing a different OS and with all the challenges it would come with.

From a UK perspective:

The pensioners would never vote for party that would introduce something like this. They HATE the idea of younger generations getting “free money”. Honestly they’re the real problem. But they’re the demographic that vote the most and have a huge sway.

Just don’t point out to them how their triple locked pensions are probably the biggest financial cost to our [UK] country…

Technology has been replacing manual labour for a long time, this is hardly surprising. Some jobs will be created though as the robots need monitoring and maintenance.

Why would they have to come in at 7am?

Man’s so high he can’t even narrow down his own age range

So a British university in China follows and respects Chinese traditions/ ceremonies /laws and they’re called bad/evil.

I’m assuming the students aren’t Chinese due to the wording of “having to follow the same rules as homegrown students”, so yes forcing non Chinese people to pledge allegence to the political party and attend parades is bad, whether it’s tradition or not. It’s just weird.

It would be equally bad if we forced foreign students to participate in our traditions (whatever they are), especially making them pledge allegence to a political party.

But If there was a Chinese university over here and they refused to follow British traditions and ceremonies and laws they would be kicked out.

No they wouldn’t, they’d turn a blind eye and keep accepting money.

I like the “maybemaybemaybe” sub and also just seeing more diverse takes on current topics. Plus the formula1 subreddit has way more discussion.

My new account has insufficient karma to post (another petty rule)

This drives me up the wall, especially when they don’t even tell you how much you need. I get why they do it, but it just promotes shit-posting in other subreddits for the sole purpose of being able to post in another subreddit.

That doesn’t mean people should be executed because they’re suspected of something, their guilt needs to be proved first.

Lol seriously. It’s things like this that put me off this site. It’s unhinged. If any other state executed people in the streets without due process these same people would be up in arms, calling them fascists. But Hamas do it and it’s all good. I’m convinced some users here see any criticism of Hamas as meaning that it’s a show of support for the IDF/Israel.
