I love the NVIDIA Shield as a technical product...but...I really wish they spent some effort on User Experience.

I cant speak to all this, but as an American doing a lot of work in London, wow transportation is incredibly great. Shockingly impressive. Traveling to London, and getting around London, and doing a lot of meetings in a small trip, is easie

a UL certification will hardly be the only one in place for a commercial insurance firm to guarantee a jacuzzi. Just imagine the risk of electrocution. Just look at it from a retail standpoint -- perhaps you have car insurance. - (where I l

Amazing, my son and I went thru the whole post! This is as excellent on communication and technical writing as it is on the math and science.

>> But how do we actively incentivize that? Pre-schedule it. Ideally recurring. Can be monthly. Possibly even bi-weekly. Agree on a time and do it on schedule. Pre-scheduling removes all the mental load of finding a time together.

Have standing lunches/dinners/coffees or even facetimes with your friends. I do them monthly with most. If you need to cancel, so be it, but having it pre-scheduled helps tremendously.

I think that is great if you want flexibility, and I used to do that also! What i'd assess at 6:30 is whether people are on meetings or on focus time. If you have monitors with zooms full of 5-6 people, I wouldn't think that is fl

I've been following this with so much hope. I think we win either way 1. If a new episode actually gets released, it is what all the fans want. 2. if a new episode does not get released, we get a study-worthy event of mass global colle

As a child of the 1980s, I feel so cheated that we were told to eat "5 servings of grains a day" pointing to bread and pasta -- when so many breads have added sugar and so much pasta has added sugar in the sauce. How did no one sp
