This is pretty much my experience. Based on the 'working from orbit' article I bought a Quest 2, but just couldn't find a way of working. I have a 1920x1200 in the centre now, and to each side a 19" 1600x1200 (same pixel

It made me smile - I'm now using WACUP for my mp3s, but this was a great bit of nostalgia, thankyou :-)

Free tiers are an essential; when settling on a service I will try many, in parallel with our current system. If I'm happy it is better I will switch,. when either immediately, or after a short period results in us being paid at a mid

I'm with you here. Did I change my approach totally? No. But it did force me to be more explicit about the time/money tradeoff, and accept that I might at times be better spending on things that would make me more productive, or t

Potentially; infrastructure is quite a broad term, and some sectors of the economy are pretty maxed out. Spend it on telecomms, and how much would flow overseas? I'm in the UK and we're increasing spending on 5G, but lots just goe

So I've a degree and masters in economics, before heading down the more statistical route. I can't say I found it compelling, and some of the issues waved away were too alarming for my liking. The asset price inflation that's

In something so long and meandering, that's not a surprise. I also stopped readng before it got any further; to be compelling it needs to be a lot shorter - there is not that much content in it!

Isn't this extremely similar to Supply Me (SYME), except they use a lot more buzzwords; blockchain, AI, etc

I've not abandoned it yet, but I'm close. Also a "Don't show me things shipped from China that'll take 6 weeks to arrive".

Outside of the case, it looks like a nice business to be in! p7 shows gross profit increasing from £450k (2018) to £550k (2019) See Sept 2019 full accounts: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c...

I can't say I'm surprised. The incentives are for them to provide a mostly trustworthy service, and certainly one that looks like it, but to monetise it there are compromises. Nothing overtly bad, but certainly... selective. I mea

Companies that pay can flag negative reviews, when they get taken down, and to get it back up you have to provide all sorts of proof of your custom, and complaint. Companies can also then reply without you getting to add. Much like amazon r

Not a dumb question at all. In medicine we test on two different animal species before it goes close to a human. For a reason.

Not the same, but I'm sure some (10?) years ago I saw something about University of Buckingham doign straight through the summer learning, so you completed in 2 years. So it isn't unheard of for everything not to be the standard 3

I did mine based far from the University (a very good one) but travelling down every few months to meet with my supervisors. I learnt tons, and it has helped my career. It also meant a lot of work over 6 years (part time). Time well spent!

It is not a trivial process, and these are ferrociously complex. Safety, Quality and Efficacy - each are hard to check. From how people are categorised in trials, how missing data rules are implemented, to how it is manufactured and the sta

So in the UK we have a really good set of expert bodies that put forward reccomendations on these things, the JCVI being the vaccines body. They are every bit as good as the current government are terrible. Priority ranking is here: https:

The interesting analogy Ross Tucker ( https://sportsscientists.com/who-are-we/ ) uses is adding vitamins and mineral is like adding a wheel to a car. If you onyl have 3, then adding the 4th is really going to make a mass

I agree it is plenty but remembering it is a household income I suspect, so yes is a very nice life, without being silly.

It also doesn't mean it is unhealthy. And yes long ditance running itself isn't HIIT, but if you are training to race a long distance, you will invariably be doing a lot of high intensity work. You might not call it Tabata trainin

I think we are talking cross purposes here. Training for running races, even long distances, involves some long running, lots of medium runs, and a good amount of intense work. Human physiology is complex and to get the most out of it, you

If you are training properly at running however, then you are doing high intensity exercise. The track repeats, the hill reps, they are that high intensity interval training, with easier runs the rest of the time. The idea that running is j

But a video covering that would be 30 minutes. I can read it in a lot less. Having been through academia, you do after all learn to read quickly :-)

by boyband6666 6y ago
Same. I can read quickly, and when suits me. Video I have to be sat at a computer paying attention which is time I can use for other things, and go at their speed.

Yep - things have been sold out as people work from home. I've bought a cheap Chinese 'Action Camera' i.e. knockoff gopro from Amazon. £30 and it works perfectly well as a webcam for conference calls!

That's what I do, but it took a while to get there. Since I would say 80% of people have some level of cloud storage now (University, employer, personal), there should be a simple setting to pick one, and the location. Make it easy for

Yep, exactly this. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to let you suggest fixes, or flag things that are clearly incorrect, even if you don't fix them yourself - especially on something i pay for!

I have used Zotero for my [part time] PhD and found it a great tool (I submitted last week). Whilst I love it, its a bit cranky, and it's a shame it doesn't have things that would clearly elevate it to the level of (or beyond) oth
