As a curious individual identifying as a scientist at heart, I tend to agree. I know I do my best to adopt an understanding of reality and base things off it but more often than not I'm forced to adopt some correlation and go with that

Most all problems I see are just resource limited in some respect (occasionally its something humanity just doesn't know how to do yet, that's where the edges of science are). It's not something brand new that's never be

I've noticed some programming and sources have sort of jammed feel-good pieces in some weird attempt to counter balance things. People dying on Ukraine, banks defaulting, Little Timmy in nowhere USA is taking steps to setup his lemonad

So the best way to compete... is to not compete. Not a criticism (I agree entirely), just want to highlight the irony here of how anti-competitive markets really are in reality.

It's worth noting that the concept of risk justifying disproportionate gains in most incarnations of capitalism isn't any sort of foundational principle. Instead, it was largely just a narrative people thought held true (and ther

Something I learned long ago is that people typically don't want the truth, in general. They want fictional lies, they crave a false reality that makes them happy. Reality in and of itself, for most, is an utter drag if they're ma

I wonder why people want something that isn't boring when it comes to some things like a bank in this case. I don't want hassle, I want something simple and boring that does exactly what it's always done. I don't want to

Yea, I don't get it. Perhaps if while you're an engineer you think management shouldn't be doing these sorts of things you had some mistaken perspective. Moving to management is not some inherently transcendental ascendancy i

>We all know this "40 hours" nonsense is just historical happenstance, not some ideal or even well-reasoned number, let alone balanced in the interest of the overwhelming majority (working people). The more and more I see cases

I suspect we're seeing more and more of these issues due to corner cutting in various industries. Air travel has already been a tight margin industry and take at look at all the air related issues we've seen recently, from FAA sys

Ultimately the only thing really regulating these labor markets are competitive forces. If all the competitors are cutting their labor costs, you have reduced risk of your labor jumping ship, less mobility, etc. and have opportunity to cut

To be completely fair, it is one of those situations where the damage is done and layoffs are probably one of the best options for the company from a completely financial point of view. He messed up and as such, there are consequences. With

Public image, perhaps? I admittedly don't understand the bail process that well and now realize I understand it even less than I thought I did after this case. At some point I may read into it, hopefully I never need to, but none the l

Yup, both removing them first and then layering a bit of protection (fluoride).

On a similar dental hygiene note, I was told I should brush before having breakfast, coffee etc. It always stood to reason to me that it makes more sense to just eat my first meal and drink, then brush, to keep a cleaner state of my teeth f

I'd argue that such information consumers are largely the same audience that wouldn't want to muck around with an API or remote service to begin with and aren't the target audience. When I check the forecast, I just use one o

You can also extract depth information from each cameras lens array. In theory, if you combine that capability on a per camera basis with photogrametric and/or stereo imaging techniques, you should be able to get a fairly refined depth

Well that's where all the biochemistry comes into play. There are pathways where various components are broken down through physical force, stomach acid, gut bacteria and enzymes, etc. This looks like a digestible introductory guide:

How does this proove the point? In the example given, the diabetic is expending more calories (through waste) than the non-diabetic... the model still holds valid. The diabetic has less net calories absorbed by their body. >how do we kno

Calories on nutrition labels should account for potential metabolic energy , not total energy, so the example of gasoline isn't by any means a disproof of the model at all since gasoline is obviously not a food source you safely metab

Your body isn't 100% efficient, some energy will be lost so assuming you have a perfect measurement of intake and expenditure, you're not completely sure how much of the intake your body has consumed. There are some estimates of t

The problem is, once you adopt this mentality, there's often pushback that you should also consider labor just like a business acting in self interest. Labor should focus on their profits (comp vs time vs benefits of concern) and optim

You don't have to use AI approaches to replace the actual scientific and engineering calculations, you can use them more as aides in the process. You can use them as yet another way to search the space of possibilities as to which simu

I share the same opinion. With plant based meats you're trying to fit a round peg through a square hole. It just isn't meat and doesn't get close enough for me. I would much prefer a good well prepared and thought out vegetar
