I grew up playing soccer but have gravitated more toward cycling, hiking, and trail running as an adult and I was kind of ready to argue with you, but I realized I pretty much agree if you narrow the statement to triathletes specifically. B

Good stuff, and thanks for your comment. This part clicks with me: > When you've got a long practice of your instrument, the difficulty is to free yourself from the reassuring but useless knowledge and habits you have that bring you

Can I ask you what your path into jazz has been like? I've been playing myself for like 25 years, classically trained for my whole childhood. I've always enjoyed improvisation and love jazz piano so much, but I've found it re

Munger is exclusively a graduate student dorm at Michigan, so these folks are in a slightly different situation than college freshmen.

I've never heard of the helmet integrity issue. Doesn't seem plausible with a sturdy commuter-grade helmet. The way I think about safety equipment is that the most effective kind is the one that you always have with you, that does

But does Bosch use a common standard for batteries, or is it just common enough that this worked out? (serious question)

Rear radar also exists, Garmin Varia for example. I'd trust a helmet-mounted mirror more. The other thing about this overall vision for bicycles is that everyone has different needs. This sounds like a wishlist for a commuter e-bike, b

Oh how cool to see the Apollo 11 stamp! I'm having my mom's framed right now after finding it in her basement.

I have a Ducky One keyboard, very simple, mechanical keys, well built, no RGB, no additional drivers, and doesn’t seem like it will quit working any time soon.

This is cool! I'm not sure why the pandemic increased people's interest in birdwatching, but it certainly did with me. But then I moved to a new state and lost all my new bird knowledge. I'll definitely be using this to learn

Not really an answer to your question, but is the problem really NP-complete, or just combinatorially difficult? For example how is this condition of NP-completeness satisfied? > it is a problem for which the correctness of each solution

The vaccines do reduce the chances of transmission quite significantly, so it makes sense to get vaccinated if your goal is to protect others. It doesn't need to be 100 percent sterilizing to be helpful in this regard.

Something like CalTopo or GaiaGPS will let you see a print version of Canada's national topographical maps for the area - for example Road River doesn't show up on any other map for me. It gives some clues on how you might get aro

Well, presumably it would have killed more without the lockdowns, but it's not clear how many more. It sounds like you're saying not doing lockdowns would have been worth the extra deaths. Which is certainly a justifiable argument

> They never quite got their Intel laptops there, though. Man is that an understatement. My work MBP - a 16" i9 - may as well be a desktop.

It's a race to the bottom, though. The entire premise of subsidizing e.g. an Amazon datacenter is that Amazon needs a datacenter, and it's going to be built somewhere, so you need to offer them a lot of money if you want the jobs

Congrats! This looks very cool at a glance. I tutored math for extra cash in grad school, and I was almost exclusively hired by well-off local families so that their their high schoolers could improve from an A-minus to an A, ace the AP Tes
