Seriously. Did a physics bachelor's and taking a network science course in my master's right now. Also currently looking for a job, and it feels impossible to get people to take me, a generalist who can move up and down the proble

That right there. Plus the biggest existential (albeit long-term) threat humanity has ever faced looming daily in our minds.

Yes. Key feel is excellent and the backlighting can be useful.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Keith McMillen K board and QuNexus. These ones are incredibly well built and reviewed.

Dude, cars have been safe and modern for like 20 years now.

Or maybe we just can't feasibly weigh the relative harm of two evils with broad network effects...

I don't even want to think about how much surface area you'd need for solar panels intended to replace 6 megawatt-scale nuclear reactors, but I'm guessing football fields is the wrong unit to use... Last time I checked, land

For it to be a hologram, you'd need to be able to reproduce arbitrary wavefronts in real time. This gives you the ability to have features like occlusion, which you don't have with a "points of light" display. I.e., ever

Nitpick: not a real hologram. Additionally, it sounds like a massively power intensive way to do volumetric display. I don't know the total conversion efficiency to photons, but it can't be that high. More recent techniques like s

It's still true that it takes a skillful ear/hand to do that mastering. I've heard terribly mastered older (not abused) records and modern releases that are excellent. A good original copy of Rumours is about as good as it ge

How else would you expect people to react to a steaming pile of hypocrisy like this?

I would think that what you're suggesting could be done by doing a bunch of Fourier transforms. If there is no relative motion of the camera you could assume that objects with high frequencies would be less massive than objects with lo

I mean honestly though, if your problem is not being able to figure out unit conversions with a smartphone in your hand you might be putting the cart before the horse trying to learn how to cook well. Learning to "eyeball things"

Sure. Sounds like he's totally within his rights to do so. Of course, he's still probably legally obligated to write that check, and he might want to look into backup generators for his business once he greets that Texas winter..

Used to use these in architectural applications all the time. They definitely combine some of the best features of both rivets and threaded fasteners, but can be a little finicky to install correctly, just like regular rivets.

I'd urge you to reexamine now. When your kids are grown up and out of the house and you're a little older you might think "it would have been so easy to go back and get my degree then and look where I could have been now.&quo

I'm starting OMSCS at GA Tech this semester. Don't quote me on this but I believe there is also a cybersecurity option and the department is very well rated all around.

My suspicion is that anyone can be considered a "private citizen" in a certain context. Trump certainly thought he could throw away his notes while in office. What do you want to bet that TX judges will recognize some county-regis
