New comment by Bang2Bay in "Britain is one of the richest countries. So why do children live in poverty?"

Bang2Bay — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 19:16:21 +0000

I donot want them under dressed too. But calling kids who have access to good (probably the best?) education and very good food, poor is unacceptable to me. May be its just me.

Its a misnomer to say British kids live in poverty. Poverty is living without access to food and education. these are guaranteed for them. If they are worried of going under dressed to school then that is not poverty.

The statistics on 'how many HighBlood pressure patients did not face heart attack' important as well?

your last line sums it. most rich/powerful have others to deal with UX. those products do not improve in UX.

The post is probably written by a non-rich who does not know but suspect that there is something? may be there is that we do not know now? ;)

lol. true.

Definitely elated at the offers, but the offers are for climbing the tallest peaks there exists.

Ask HN: Physics PhD at Stanford or Berkeley

Bang2Bay — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:38:29 +0000

What should one consider while signing up for a Physics PhD program, with an focus on experimental Quantum/Molecular optics, program at either university if both of them offer?

I understand there are many factors to take into account when choosing a school for research (advisor, research fit and funding to name a few), but these are on the individual.

Any Physicists on HN?

We do not know who invented zero. Or who identified earth to be a sphere. Or who wrote the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... . We just pick a name and associate them to our liking.

So when another colonizer comes up, we will have newer people associated with these. Hope it does not happen. But history does say so.

it is really odd to only discuss long term plans in a meeting.

Meetings help individuals present their idea/code and reviewer to critically/loudly think about the solutions. If that does not happen, thinking happening offline is not likely.
