Well it shows your auto-blame feature is working.

Something something boomers. /s

Dear Santa, if you could somehow make him lose even more money that'd be great.

The real systems that have the shit that you don't want anyone to touch ever, are. There are even measures beyond that to ensure security. However, depending on the lab, they also have a number of programs that need to interact either with researchers not 'behind the fence' or with other branches of the .gov or even with the public. Those get hammered all the time.

This is a failure by Congress mostly to not fund and prioritize IT security. The US nuke labs get their computers hammered all of the time by outside actors but you never hear about breaches there. OPM, not so much. Why? Someone at OPM probably asked about IT security at one point and Congress basically said 'Nah, there ain't no money for that and what do you need it for anyway?'.

Was just eating really excellent braised beef tendon in Singapore. In the US, you never see it on the menu (except maybe some beef tendon in pho). Easy enough to find dried tendon being used as dog chews though. I apologize if anyone thinks I'm referring to Singapore as part of 'the developing world'.

Will they let the yuan float on international currency markets? lol

In the US, as soon as you start slapping 'farm-to-table' and 'locally crafted' labels on everything you start paying a price premium.

Your argumen would make the old yellow pages a nightmare because it would hold the yellow pages company responsible for vetting every single company that chooses to advertise with it. And continue to monitor and check that every single company is doing exactly what they say they are doing. Now you have to magnify that on a global scale. At what point is there not some responsibility on the user in your model?

You're implying it pretty strongly though, no?

Gee would I rather my plumbers, electricians, and contractors be licensed and bonded or not? Hmmm.....

I wasn't justifying it or asking you to support it, I was offering an explanation. Now reread you comments and mine and see if you can discern where your thinking went awry.

And pretty much everywhere else. If your English isn't great or is nonexistant and you can't write and you see a chance to make a quick buck why wouldn't you try and use it?

If you've seen shuttle drivers in Thailand, this chart makes perfect sense

A more interesting chart would be 'which language do you use' vs 'which language would you rather be using'. One of the national DOE labs computes something like this and the clear winner was Rust.

Starting to sound like collusion to lower salaries at this point

Pff. Amateurs.

Well the OP's graph isn't much better in that regard

Red on one dimension, blue on the other. You go white to pure red, and white to pure blue depending on where you are in the data's bounding box. So basically each country on a map gets a color based on

x * Red + y * blue

Something like that

You assign a color based on two end points, e.g. red/blue with an intensity based on what your coordinates are

You'd have been better off doing this as a colored map. This is pretty damned unreadable

A good (reasonably not bad) example of the rheology of the mantle is Silly Putty.

If you put a ball of it on a desk and hit it with a hammer, it shatters. A good analogy for earthquakes (brittle response)

If you just leave it on the desk it will become nice flat putty pancake (ductile response)

Two different responses to two different stress/strain regimes. Particularly effective in class

No.

You cannot be a citizen in 3 months, not unless you get in on a particular type of program (generally having a lot of money that you're going to promise to invest...generally a quite sizeable sum.) or getting married to a citizen, etc

For Switzerland, say, you will have to live there for 13 years and not just be there on repeated tourist visas because you don't accumulate 'citizenship time credits' that way. Which means you'll have a have a job for that long which means you'll need a sponsor or sponsors.

There is an interesting wrinkle to the Swiss situation where even if you live there there long enough your neighbors can still vote to not let you become a citizen.

Inside job. Someone's going to die from this thing because someone could hide it in their favorite chair.

You need to rethink your presentation of this. I'm sure it's interesting but the presentation sucks. No axes labels, no obvious assumptions up. Really, I should be able to look at this and discern what's going on and what the important conclusions are without going to the comments to see if there's a bunch of explanation. If I have to read a paper to understand this, it's should be posted in r/researchpapersarebeautiful
