Interesting that the insurance companies aren't interested in supporting weight loss, the complications from being overweight are gonna be a whole lot worse than getting the drug. Did someone run the tables and find that obese people

Pluto and USRP are almost exactly the same thing at this point, just USB2 vs USB3 so you're limited on data rates outside of the device an technically a different chip but they're an old node and binned, so they're the same i

Because not many people actually want to blow themselves up? The TSA only really exists at this point because the flight attendant unions are scared someone might be able to hurt them while they enforce increasingly absurd rules mandated by

I think you've hit the rationalist nail on the head. They look thoughtful and intellectually honest but in reality they're just kit bashing philosophy to paper over absolutely insane biases and political positions. You don'

I avoid those jobs, though sometimes you find out that things weren't as benign as originally pitched.

In my experience working with multi/hyperspectral systems, usually for turning brown kids into various forms of air pollution, or at least that's all anyone seems to want to buy them for. Also, as another user is probably allewdin

You're confusing multispectral and hyperspectral. If it was hyper you'd have the ability to slide through at image "cube" where the z axis is wavelength. Would be cool, but current hyperspectral cameras are extremely l

There are long periods where the filters aren't running during startup and shutdown, you'll notice once the seatbelt sign turns on at the beginning and right after it turns off at the end, things get stale super quickly and the te

See also, MLMs and the supplement industry. They're contributing for the legal right to screw average people out of their money.

How recent? I experienced stuff like that from an all female teaching staff around ~20 years ago but I have no idea what it looks like now. I wanted to learn more about computers but the staff that were savvy were much more excited about t

It's a bit of a weird situation and there isn't an easy answer yet, but it's something that at a minimum bears garnering some research money. If the trend continues and it ends up that being a woman means you're signifi

Also did FRC in HS. It's much more complicated than that. The high achieving boys did FRC and were wildly over-represented, but for every one of them there were five or six boys who just kind of...existed. We have a real problem here

There are old stories of the Russians planting mines inside children's toys during some of the later cold war conflicts. This is starting to feel a bit like that. Nobody had any way of knowing who was holding those pagers when they s

I've learned to hate software process. If you have team sizes set sanely and empower devs to do what they need to do in order to accomplish the goal, they'll be fine without the management overhead of arbitrarily imposed producti

Yeah, it's not a crazy influence, it's just to point out that the economy is a pyramid and if you make the stone on top smaller, there are thousands of other little places where you can shave weight. Cars account for a small but

Bigger cars need more fuel -> bigger fuel trucks They use more materials to make, require bigger places to store/maintain them and go through bigger consumables ie tires -> bigger lorries. It's not like they're the sum

I miss when this place was full of wide-eyed CS undergrads, now it's just "Exploits in Venture Capitalism". Everyone has grown up and gotten themselves high paying, boring adtech jobs so now they feel the need to defend surv

It's fashionable to hate Boeing, and they totally deserve it, but I'm in the industry (satellite payload side mostly) and I've been getting hints that this is becoming the case everywhere. Spacex in particular seems to be t

I'd just say all advertising. It's effectively money time and effort we just light on fire.

That's gonna depend on your skills and what you think is interesting to pursue. Generally speaking you'll want to learn how to, at a minimum, model stuff and 3d print it, and how to design PCBs. I strongly suggest FreeCAD and Ki

One word. Hardware. There is limitless opportunity outside of the webtech/adtech bullshit bubble. Go create a hardware startup, it's never been easier. It's still harder than adtech bullshit was 10 years ago, but the turnke

It's complicated, but tl;dr, the ATF is in a constant spiral of trying to apply the text of the National Firearms Act and a handful of other laws in the real world. They don't define a firearm as something that can shoot bullets,

Now I'm just curious, how the fuck does race determine IQ? That sounds like some nazi shit...

People do drill that hole and do get arrested... What's FUD here? Someone was even arrested for selling stainless steel business cards that had a particular bottle-tab looking design laser etched on it.

I see what you did there. But no, most studies seem to indicate intelligence is correlated with lower authoritarianism. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602...

Ok, we're learning how to cite stuff. Now, how do we use that to support our thesis?
