Thanks

It’s not India comparing itself. At least not in this instance. It’s a study by Amartya Sen et al. The rationale is explained:

When development planning began in China after the revolution (1949) and in India after its independence (1947), both countries were starting from a very low base of economic and social achievement. The gross national product per head in each country was among the lowest in the world, hunger was widespread, the level of illiteracy remarkably high, and life expectancy at birth not far from 40 years. There were many differences between them, but the similarities were quite striking. Since then things have happened in both countries, but the two have moved along quite different routes. A comparison between the achievements of China and India is not easy, but certain contrasts do stand out sharply.

Not just that but the Minsk accords were meant to be ruse as Merkel said. Unfortunately westerners don’t know or care for how long this war has been incited. “Where were you for the last 8 years” is now a wikipedia page that shitlibs can throw at you as a thought terminating argument.

You have a YouTube link for this scene? I have always wondered what this guy is saying here.

They aren’t entrance exams you take right out of high school

I know this is how it is in US and Canada at least but NEET is taken after high school. Just putting it out there for those unaware.

He wrote about this in 91 from what I know. Don’t know of other instances of him talking about this:

Comparing India’s death rate of 12 per thousand with China’s of 7 per thousand, and applying that difference to the Indian population of 781 million in 1986, we get an estimate of excess normal mortality in India of 3.9 million per year. This implies that every eight years or so more people die in India because of its higher regular death rate than died in China in the gigantic famine of 1958–61.3

The system you suggest would work in a better society but the whole political economy does the opposite of what it claims to do and what people think it should do.

Like the doctor shortage you mention is very real and severe. But there is no immediate financial incentive in fulfilling it. The ruling class hates public health in general. So the (official) life expectancy is sitting at a cool 68 while potential doctors pursue medicine for money rather than any nobler notions and people blame minority groups for producing “bad” doctors because of affirmative action.

I’ve been aware of the ills of education privatisation for a long time but I found out only this year about how deep the tendrils of private involvement are in exam conduction, something that requires a very long chain of trust.

Wow that looks really good.

This is basically a loop of:

1. Read out something cool and good
2. “… wow”

Which free tools?

Actually the serf seeing his father dying from the plague said “ah shit this will be ultimately inflationary.”

TIL that Assange is a one man killing machine:

I don’t know where you are trying to go with this honestly

Sanctions are usually not meant to targeted specific slices of the powerful. That’s a rhetoric that has been used to justify them but sanctions almost always try to deny common people their basic needs.

That’s why they “work” against nations like Cuba and North Korea which are in their infancy but not against nations like Russia which have a respectable industrial base of their own and are also deeply embedded in the global economy.

Tbf though I don’t know if he gave up at Messmer or at some other point. The article could likely just be using any art from the game.

I don’t think it’s that. Like this image from Reuters served by Cloudflare works:

On the other hand if you try to embed an image served on Reuter’s /resizer/ endpoint it won’t work embedded since they have some authentication process for it.

I don’t think embedded images are being proxied through Lemmy. It’s likely the browser trying to fetch the images directly which fails in some cases.

Edit:

Does the image load in my previous comment?

Yeah it does.

I think maybe it doesn’t work on embedded images in posts and comments yet. But I’ve not been following lemmy development closely so don’t take my word for it.

It’s probably a privacy respecting measure from the recent update. If lemmy hotlinks images or anything in general, there is a chance that your IP is leaked to the server being hotlinked to.

Now images are proxied through the lemmy instance.

Can you explain more? Like what it is you are doing, what you expect to happen and what actually happens?
