I think the idea that these will be low paid jobs while people are learning the skills is very old-fashioned and out of touch.
If the young people are learning - they should be paying the employer fees, We can probably cap these at the same level as university tuition

You don't need to understand which of the complicated NAG or Cern library numerical integration functions are the most appropriate for your data - you just search on GitHub and pull in the first library with "fitting" in the title.
Or if it's more complicated just copy the data to Excel and use that.
Except the hospital was still treating as many people as physically possible. It was just cooking the books to avoid cuts due to not meeting political targets,
This is like leaving people who need emergency surgery waiting ,while while you perform unnecessary easy surgeries to make money
But there is a slightly higher diplomatic threshold for deliberately jamming or shooting down Eu satelites than there is for simply degrading GPS accuracy over europe to the point that road/rail/air transport is made a lot slower and more expensive as a resposnse to a trade arguement
So there is a small difference in the mean of a broad distribution of two populations.
At an age where girls have physically/mentally matured ahead of boys and when there is a group pressure for the boys not to be swots.
It says nothing about what you expect the gender of future 1 in a million Nobel prize winners to be or what you expect the mix of top 1% of 21 year olds graduating in Maths/Physics from top schools or how many should have founded $Bn silicon valley companies
Still - convenient to have a 10year stretch hanging over just about anybody in the country isn't it?
Want to do a raid on that well known felon Mr Winston Kadogo?
That would only be justified for a major crime, such as one that carried a 10year sentence - such as having kept a copy of a BBC iPlayer programme more than 30days, or having copied a CD to his MP3 player.
Fortunately such laws would only be used against major criminals, or terrorists.
If computer science is going to be one (hint - if the subject has the word science, it isn't one) then it needs to cover fundamentals rather than making sure that 2016's graduates have 3years experience of Visual Studio 2019.
The reason we hire other STEM grads is that, for the most part, CS grads are the least capable (ie thick) students who took CS because they had a computer at home and they thought it would get them a job.
"If you're with a bank worth their salt, you'll get a phonecall to verify any suspicious looking transactions."
There is a distinct NaCl deficiency with banks over here.
Found a dozen $1000-$2000 flights in europe on my credit card and phoned the bank to alert them.
So the $10,000 flights to South Africa and Australia weren't yours either?
What $10K flight ??????
Oh sorry, we spotted those as fraudulent and removed them.
So you cancelled a bunch of $5k and $10k fraudulent transactions, but decided that all the ones for $1K and $2k at the same time were legitimate?
Yes, because they were under the fraud limit.
What's the fraud limit amount - just out of interest?
Oh, we ca't tel you that - for security !
