May you volunteer a couple of hours afterwork in your week to some environmental charity at local or regional level? As a STEM professional very able with computers, your skills might help a lot without touching hard-nosed activism or polit

Is the tool, any tool, guilty for its misuse then? It’s always the people, never the tool. It’s you too, if you are unable to make your Twitter the useful environment you want.

An often untold story these days is you still need specialistic domain knowledge and a lot of your own data to make good use of fast.ai’s very clever lessons. Being able to achieve state of the art results with copy-pasting & modding an

Conflict of interests on one side, sociopaths isolating a few words out of their context to have a rant on the other side; both are more dangerous than bad science, to be fair, but this is the spirit of the times.

Nor I claimed they do, though, as for my previous, very clear comments about this matter above.

Sure, some fundamentals are here and absolutely no money is needed to understand the principles better: https://gettingstronger.org/2016/03/faq-for-vision-improveme... .

Nah, there are more recent studies based upon first principles and less stretching protocols than Bates. Still not accepted best practice, though, so individual mileage may vary, my myopic eyesight improved enough to give them a pass.

There are a few gym protocols used to train / flex / exert the eyes’ muscles and revert myopia gradually. An expert tutor acting under your doc’s supervision is needed, though.

That’s why hand-made artifacts will soon be back in force through a new generation of more savvy art dealers, this hopefully being good for a startup or good enough for lifestyle businesses in the coming decade.

Walking two hours a day, for sure: negativity drops, the body is energized and watching other people walk makes me relax.

Problem is employers very often just need, want and look for full-time or part-time employees, not on-call contractors. In that case, they also have to manage the legal hassle.

Yes, you are basically saying that this particular artifact is just like a bridge-shaped pancake made of polystyrene and hosting very few ants at any given time. Which is actually an art project.

Robust aka oversized does not counter brittle fracture, though, which is the main concern with 3D-printed artifacts. It depends on the material / the alloy but also on the technological process we generally call printing.

by DrNuke 8y ago
3D-printed structures behave very differently compared to your usual, continuous materials which are bolted, jointed or welded together, in that re-balancing loads and reactions. Another issue is how they cope with aggressive environments.

No, you aren’t. I can see two patterns here: first, you do not throw enough sh*t on the wall you choose (market research, content, lots of content, package) and as a consequence, second, you are unable to dig deep enough to make something s

Much appreciated, thanks, but point is we do not live in a bubble and I am not sure Nerdistan would be a nicer country to live.

The hostile behaviour introjected by common, good-natured people towards outsiders of any sort is more frightening, though. It is actually self-preservation in this new dystopian environment but it seems mind poisoning or zombification to t
