The point of their comment is that the statement is tautological regardless of the subjects. "I could change in the coming decades." "The most stable rock formation could change in the coming decades." "Even under t

You are supposed to invest and keep the money working for you. Adjusted for inflation, S&P 500 returns 6.5% a year. That alone gets you above the poverty line. Recall, this is inflation adjusted so your $600,000 is growing with inflatio

Genuine question for people in the field. My understanding is that the cooling effect of trees is primarily driven by evaporative cooling. That is, the shade effect only really exists because the plant does not shrivel up and die due to sto

Conversely, preclearance at Pearson royally screwed up my TN visa after claiming that the other ports of entries were doing it wrong. I have received multiple TN from HOU and, in general, I like the CBP at HOU. EWR was always friendly as we

I know this is a convenient meme and narrative but this post is literally the consequence of having to pay more for labor, you get more people trying to automate it. We're talking about logistics, probably the most important component

Louisiana judges have their own rap sheet [1]. It is curious that they are the only state that does not have common law. [1] - https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/09/judges...

Neural network training is harder when the input range is allowed to deviate from [-1, 1]. The only reason why it sometimes works for neural networks is because the first layer has a chance to normalize it.

Exercising early only makes sense in some pathological examples that do occur but practically never happen. In general, very loosely, a put is worth something for the hedge plus the amount you could get for exercising it right now. Thus, if

I'm not Peter. IANAL so do your own homework. However, I have been on TN visas for almost a decade. 1. Once you enter the US on a work visa, you are only authorized to work under the restrictions of that visa which are normally tied to

To clarify, the circuit is almost always 20A with 15A being used for lighting. However, the outlet itself is almost always 15A because you put multiple outlets on a single circuit. You are going to see very few 20A in outlets (which have a

How is agreeing not to put tolls on roads built with money that was not yours a dumb technicality? That's literally the interstate system and how the federal government can even attempt to enforce a national speed limit.

This is incredibly misleading. The average price per solar install is $3/W so your 5kWh is probably much closer to $15k. Additionally, "+ labor" is actually 66% of the price of solar in the USA (soft costs + balance of system

For Least Squares, you do not even use a hidden layer. Just a single dense layer from input directly to output. You also do not use an activation function (or use the identity activation function). That is, everything that makes neural netw

Thank you for the high quality comment. I'll try to add some insight here for race. Using the reports [1] and [2], the difference for Grade 4 students are: American Indian / Alaska Native - 2.5% in 2019 - 1.6% in 2023 - 515 in 201

This is my (not Peter's) advice for Canadians/Mexicans for TN, Australians for E-3, and seems to apply for Singaporeans/Chileans for H-1B1: If it is an automated system, just put no. That may be an automatic filter. There wil

That's not at all what that "study" says. It is a critique (in poor taste if you ask me) that everything does not require a double-blind study.
