Could you explain a bit more? Are you making a better ROI? I currently have a Betterment account and would consider switching if there's a good reason.

I really understand your side of things, and the engineer in me wants the same for everything. However, an imperfect solution that can easily be sold and understood has a far more likely chance of succeeding and producing change. It'

While there are similar practices that Google and Facebook have (eg. tracking your activities outside of their website), this is much more problematic and sinister for a couple reasons: Access: Many people in this country do not have a choi

While what you say is factually true, I think the thing you are missing is the psychological effect of putting up such signs and having these policies. It gets people in the mindset that this is serious and we can't ignore it. It

PoE was created exactly for this purpose! The converters aren't tiny by any means, but they can get pretty darn small if the device doesn't consume much power. Plus, its routable using existing wiring in a house, uses AC to tran

Out of curiosity, what was your experience with Yohimbine? Why was it so bad?

While I agree that it sucks the arduono headers aren't spaced nicely for standard prototyping, I think this issue has been largely solved by the more recent versions like the Arduino Mini. I actually much prefer that form factor to th

Yeah it was never turned on due to economic reasons. They are currently retrofitting it with updated pumps, membranes, pipes, etc, and increasing its capacity. They've definitely hit some interesting roadblocks along the way.

While it may be true that the OP is "doing well" salary wise, your comment detracts from the point he is making. just because someone makes a lot of money doesn't mean that their problems are any less valid.

I don't have access to the spec for 1.4, but from what I can understand it's still a single cable that will do 4K 120hz HDR. Obviously it'll have to be a supported 1.4 capable cable, but that's the same as CAT 5 vs CAT

Although I have not read that book, for linear algebea I would highly recommend Gilbert Strang's book. It's one of the few textbooks for which I would pay full price, even today. Also, his lectures are available on youtube from

Strang's textbook is fantastic. One of the rare cases in college where I actually enjoyed reading a textbook. His lectures are available for free on YouTube as well, and I can't recommend them enough!
