The best answer I've heard of is a company opening up the offices but mandating that all meetings are over videoconference anyway. Need to get out of the house? There's an office for you. But you don't have an inherent in-

Amazing that we have an industry whose biggest component is keeping out fraud in the industry. Imagine pitching that to a VC.

That's the difference between a paper and someone explaining it to the layperson.

It's hard to get the numbers, though. I mean, I guess we could ask....

I've seen it there for years but have no idea what it does. I don't really care-I bookmark things I like.

I'm a little confused: do you store a copy of the information/page, or just a link to it?

Does Rocketbook have OCR now? I used them when they first came out but the lack of OCR limited what I would use them for. I just tried to start the app after reading your comment and apparently I have to log in or something and I have no i

The Marshall Memo [1] is one I happily subscribed to for a while. Kim Marshall went through the journals and gave a summary of the research and news most important to educators, weekly. [1] https://marshallmemo.com/

If by "explicitly" you subsume "knowingly" then I agree.

I think FAQs are an excellent way to present information— even information that has been previously covered— in a different way. Not everybody absorbs the same way, and not all information is presented clearly.

When I zoom in (ctrl+) it appears to me that the people across the top aren't actually holding the flag. The guy on our left is- with one hand, but the others don't seem to be (at least to me, but I'm no photoshop-spotter ex

That picture is a little suspicious. Look at them "holding" the top of the "flag."

I think the evidence is that people don't wear masks properly- so in that sense they don't work. And that's what Fauci was indicating at the beginning.

by dhimes 6y ago
Yes- he's negotiating a difficult position. At the time there was a big concern that people wouldn't wear the masks properly. "It takes training" was the implication.
347.
by dhimes 6y ago
Not really, at least not Fauci. What he said was they wouldn't work for most Americans. What he was implying is that most Americans wouldn't bother to learn to wear them properly. I think he was right. If your glasses are foggi

Back in mid-May, when the US was still behaving pretty well, the angry right-wing facebookers started talking about how great Sweden was. So I did a per-capita death calculation and Sweden's was 30% higher than the US's. Of course

“Out of balance” is yet another way to think of it (Steve Hagen’s term IIRC)

Spoiler alert: The whole realization is that the entire concept of you is artificial. The idea that there is an ever-present unchanging thing called "you" is fairly straightforward for the uninitiated to grasp. The idea that

Fog lights? Mine are mounted and shine low. I thought they all were so they don't bounce back into the driver's eyes when there is actually fog.

That was an amazing machine for its day. I remember exploring parameters by graphing equations on a plane on the way to an APS meeting with my advisor sitting next to me in awe.

Back in the early '90s the Sharp 9300 did. Great little machine- totally overrun by TI.

The essay is very good starting with this paragraph: You'd think it would be obvious just from that sentence what a dangerous game they're playing. But I'll spell it out. There are two reasons why we need to be able to discu

Part of the point is at the time of decision it's not clear that the students can do that gap year stuff if they take a gap year now. They wouldn't be doing it so they can travel to Brazil, but so they don't have a difficult

My last one is a rising sophomore, and I concur. In fact, he's taking a class this summer. I wish he were taking more- getting an extra semester out of this at home would have been shrewd.
