Bioinformatics isn’t used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don’t have.

You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!

Where did I say they shouldn’t?

My message comes within a context.

Improvements in storage allow for longer transportation. This is but one example.

There are many other improvements, from more efficient water usage to reducing the need for other costly interventions.

Some may be possible to allow richer agriculture in poorer areas, reducing the need for distribution.

Pegasus, and probably other tools, can infect phones through ads. Google’s ads network is a weapon.

Your comment is unrelated what-so-ever to what I wrote.

Ten percent of humans suffer from hunger. This is much bigger than just Gaza.

I’m not rich, I chose to earn less money and live a lower quality apartment.

We don’t have many years to work on solutions. You may never have enough for you and yours.

Green revolution?

The newest solution I know of is using optimization algorithms to vastly reduce the cost of experiments on vegetables storage. They not only showed how to optimize storage, they also showed how to store certain types cheaply for 4 times long.

One of the issues is food distribution, and that will help there.

Oh wow, people are talking about it.

In the real world, not enough techies are willing to work on solving problems related food shortages (for example), while people are starving to death.

This protest achieved nothing so far.

If you want to actually make a difference, leave Google, go do bioinformatics (am biased here), exact agriculture or any other shit that actually solves real problem.

All I see in those rallies a bunch of people that work at Google to maximize their earnings that are mad when Google does the same.

I don’t get the comment here, they didn’t ‘express their opinion’ about Israel. They behaved like a bunch of lunatics within Google’s offices. If you want to protest Google’s actions send a signed letter of resignation stating the reason, send it to the press and form a union of techies that won’t work for companies that work with Israel recursively.

On a side note, I like how none of them mind building mass surveillance tools, pushing ads, Google-China relations, etc… But Israel’s genocide is trending, so they jump on that. What a bunch of shallow fucks.

I’m not a brain-rotted manager, I know how to buy a desk and arrange a work station.

And yet, they all found better life in other countries. In my opinion, and it very much a not very educated opinion, the German shame about the shitier parts of society makes it harder for foreigners to understand the level of shityness in different regions of Germany before setting living there.

The general route of people that moved was find a jon from a far, move to the area of the job, handle 10 metric tons of paperwork, better their German just to understand more and more just how mistreated and undesirable they are.

Some chose to stay anyway, some left, tried their luck in a different place and encountered less shitiness and some came back.

Parts of Germany are very unfriendly to non white Christians that speak fluent German.

Some friends and family left to Germany, they all got better life economics wise. They found friends, had good jobs, etc… but then most of them left Germany.

They really like the public transport, functioning health system, food availability, access to nature and more.

But they all had constant encounters with neu-nazis. It didn’t get to physical assault, they felt physically safe, but it did create highly hostile environments, either at work, the supermarket or the streets.

There are countries in the EU that will allow you to enjoy the same benefits without suffering harrasment by neu-nazis.

You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.

I have no experience using such big eink and can’t comment on their quality.

Bought a math book from them, they refunded it with no questions, after I read a lot of it, because some of the equations were unreadable.
