You just discovered affirmative action?

That is illegal in California public schools like this article focused on.

The truth is, UC San Diego admits students who didn't get into the more prestigious UCs like Berkeley, LA, etc. That's probably why you see data like this


I don't find this that weird, maybe 15k$ is a lot, but being from south america some european countries require you to prove that you have money before traveling if I remember correctly, I think maybe 5k euros?

I don't think they hold that money as a bond.

proof of financial stability and means of supporting oneself is entirely different than withholding that value as a bond

It makes sense to require you to have a certain amount of money if you're going to stay a certain amount of time on a tourist visa.

Having dealt with the US Federal government, good luck trying to get your 15K back if there's an administrative issue.


Afaik, you need to be licensed on each state you want to practice, and take the bar exam for that state.

For example, the LegalEagle youtuber always says he is licensed to practice law in specific states in his videos, here is his georgetown law profile with the states where he is allowed to practice:

They are based on denmark's guidelines, which as you know is a very cold country.

One of the vaccines made strictly optional was for dengue, which is not really a thing in denmark since I think they don't have that many mosquitos due to weather.

However, in the US, mosquitos and tropical weather are common for a large part of the population.

Point being, a huge country with a huge variety of climates and diseases shouldn't follow the lead of a small country with a fairly homogenous weather and disease pattern.


Are you familiar with any European country that does schedule a dengue vaccine? It is not listed here: https://vaccine-schedule.ecdc.europa.eu/

How many millions died or were crippled by diseases which are now preventable?

Smallpox, polio, measles, etc

Sure, 50% to 70% of people who got smallpox survived, which also means that without vaccines you are condemning 30% to 50% of the population to die.

Same with the millions of people, specially in poorer countries, who died or were paralyzed by polio.

Vaccines have make those horrors a thing of the past, yet people today are concerned about "hat doesn't mean I think it's a good idea to take _all_ of them without scrutiny, nor that they're all good for _me_ as an individual."

Time has diminished the horrors of something that was fairly common a 100 years ago.


Are you seriously saying that because there are some viruses and diseases we _should_ vaccinate against (which I agree with), therefore people have to accept _all_ recommended vaccines regardless of risks and benefits?

If so that’s ideological insanity and probably exactly why anti-vax is a rising problem: Your zealousness creates it.


In europe is common for bakeries to sell sandwiches, and they are quite good.

What’s the issue with net?

It’s a modern cross platform open source language with very good performance


One of my grips with C#, Java,... is pushing runtime logic inside the type system. This leads to a huge standard library where there are multiple classes that are barely different than other other than implementation details.

I prefer Go's approach on preferring interfaces instead of inheritance. But what I like is Clojure and Lisp where the semantics of algorithms and data structure is not so diffuse.


Let's say I want to use the agent on Linux/Mac.

Then I'll need to install .NET runtime first, which I know I won't ever use for anything else.

Then it's a hard no, unless I really don't have a choice (e.g. a different agent).


You don’t need to install the runtime (this has been true for years now).

There is self-contained publish option (with trimming).

And there is ahead-of-time compilation option to produce a fully native binary.

Though the latter is not for every API as of right now.


.Net has never been something most of HN cares about.


It’s been like that when visiting Europe for years now.


I call it clippy’s revengeance

But more seriously, this is ELIZA with network effects. Credulous multitudes chatting with a system that they believe is sentient.


Easy, you can have a company scale a few lawyers into thousands of cases and call it a day. The total number of working lawyers would dwindle if they are competing on price.
