Majority of the research at universities is powered by graduate students, most of whom are in turn internationals. This makes a lot of sense- which US/Canadian citizens with bachelor degrees in their right mind would do graduate resear

There are quite a few models in the market that are not Tesla and have lane centering assist.

As a non-immigrant, USPS is probably the #3 most impressive thing to me about the US after the interstate highways and national parks.

Wow. That explains a lot about our lab HPC "facilitator's" attitude towards us haha.

The burglars are not taking advantage of a loophole in the constitution though. Let me give you an example- some investors bypass the employment provision mentioned here by presenting construction workers, or even tenants on the property as

US immigration system is fundamentally broken. You'll be asked no question about your source of income if you buy property in excess of half a million dollars- you'll get expedited green card service instead. People with black mon

Ask me in 2500 years... I kid you not, this is the exact answer I got from an IEEE panel member. It was right after the TX winter storm earlier this year- I asked them if we should take extra preparations for extreme weather events. He was

That's also a feature of first world countries. There's a reason low-middle income countries are concentrated around the equator and high income countries are in the high latitudes.

Things like this are basically sticking plasters for hiding real social and cultural issues. Example: I always get 2 or more times uses out of every polythene shopping bag that I get my hands on. At least once for carrying groceries, once f

Fully agree. We were having a heated discussion last night about this in my grad student circle. In the end we felt pressure must be put on the big players in the industry, such as Elsevier, to move away from the profit maximization model.

Editors basically make sure that the good research get published and the bad ones are thrown out. They invite submissions, do basic QA, find potential reviewers and send the submissions out for review, make final accept/reject or revis

Not exactly. A good journal needs a good editor. The role that the editors play (while putting their reputation on the line) is really poorly understood and under-appreciated by most within and outside academia.

I just leased a fully loaded Highlander which I intend to buy out after 3 years. So Toyota is getting my money for next 9 years, unless anything disastrous happens. I actually have another 7 year old Corolla, on which I have a spent a grand

I share the same feeling. I am a PhD student with working knowledge of application development. My skills have been quite useful to the rest of the lab as they transitioned to using HPC systems. > * "I need a terabyte of RAM" A

One problem with open access is that the cost is prohibitively high. It can range from $2500 in decent peer-reviewed journals to $10,000+ in Nature. Recently we decided not to pay for open-access for one of our articles (as we already had t

I kinda use Google docs in same manner. I have separate documents for different professional projects and personal goals. I use them in append mode only, and simple colors to differentiate to-do and done items- red/black.

You don't really need to teach so many things. The only skill one needs to master them all is critical thinking. To teach critical thinking to the students, you need teachers who are critical thinkers. It does not matter if you are in

This. I did not even realize OP was talking about a $1000 chromebook.

by esalman 5y ago
I agree. In fact if I chose a chromebook, I'd automatically restrict the budget to $250 max even for a brand new one. For $950 or more, I wouldn't accept anything less than a performance laptop with a discrete GPU. So the question
