I can imagine every single business in North Idaho that engages, markets, and even sells items online via Facebook and/or Twitter called them and said - (a) I don't believe that two-thirds of your customers called you asking to ba

Yea so a few things he pointed out in this write up were readily observable. For example, the air falling out of the freezer is actually quite visible when hitting a hot humid ambient air. Also you could see the rate of defrosting accelerat

Hi. Actualexperience here... it depends on the ambient temperature and how much stuff is in said freezer. So heres a data point: Freezer: normal upper level refrigerator freezer chock full of frozen fish caught on holiday in Alaska. Place,

Grant Imahara’s curiosity, energy, and brilliance have taught millions of folks the unbridled joy of how to be bewildered by the world and overcome that with sober, rational, reason and scientific method. It gives me hope how the celebratio

Everytime I am reminded of this event, I remember the rage... and it cuts just like it did when it happened 7 and a half years ago. It actually makes my stomach wrench and my eyes swell with tears... this is what injustice looks like. this

Honestly, I paid for access to labs and researchers and the network after graduating. I dunno about Amherst but Rice students and alumni also have insane access to the worlds coolest toys - https://sea.rice.edu/instruments&#

This is perhaps one of the more ignorant comments on this thread. > When you go to an elite college, you're really paying for the degree. In many cases, you go to an elite college to pay for the experience to learn from, engage with

This comment. All this nonsense about elite universities being just about the degree and signalling is absolute rubbish. Elite universities are elite because they are made of some of the most influential thinkers, scientists, engineers, and

Categorically disagree with that. The most valuable aspect of an elite engineering education IMO is getting to participate in a culture of elite professional academics. The spirit and energy which you learn to tackle REALLY ABSURDLY HARD pr

Would you have paid 50k+ a year for an online education without the interaction you get from being part of the MIT campus a facilities and faculty?

by an-allen 7y ago
Imagine paying $50,000+ a year for education that provides no labs, no campus experience, and no personal interaction with other students and professors.... Now imagine that 50k a year landlord telling you to pack your shit and get out in 2

Well there are computational underpinnings to any form. Even those that are stochastic processes still have computational basis to some degree. So any cognitive process - which is quite literally the mind attempting to create form from vari

Source repositories are all about managing complexity. The more unmerged code you have from your releasable branch... the more complexity you have being held in the source repository. In the field I've seen git-flow lend itself to havi

This report is a pure, unadulterated, dumpster fire. No one is explaining how a video file is a trojan vector. Also this report has way too much background of the “Hacking Team” that really sounds suspect from me. I just feel if you are try

Thats because all this thought that Frys was a victim to Amazon is complete bollocks. Every Frys Ive been in since 2010 has been poorly stocked and full of employees who know absolutely nothing about what they are selling... You go into Mi

There are a few things that are strange about this. Number 1 - it was weapons systems they attacked, so I'm going to assume you reach those through microwave somehow. If thats the case, simply storing your weapons in a faraday cage un

It looked great for me. The really subtle distortion effects that were added into really add a dissociation effect were an amazing add. This was, and I feel quite passionately about this, one of the most entertaining, enthralling, stressful

The whole plot seems pretty stupid to me. I mean if I am a college admissions official for Yale and I see an application with an essay about what the real story of growing up as William H Macy's kid is - the kid is getting in regardles

I find the hierarchy of “mental content” to be kind of confusing. He posits “the hierarchy of mental content, which, in order of increasing value, are: data, information, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.” Coming from a Shannon-centric

I’ve always been troubled by production-grade handling of state in containers - specifically as it pertains to data backup. This module takes that into account - and defines a “backup k8s object” that will trigger a db dump. But there is s
