I had the same issue for years in the Midwestern US. I wasted a lot of money on the little 1 galon warm and cold mist humidifiers. You need the type that uses multiple paper wicks (they look like air filters). I have one that uses 4 of thes

This is a really good idea. I'd emphasize combinatorics and probability because these are actually the most useful. But I would add group theory too! For me this was the first time I realized that mathematics doesn't have to be al

Why? Why would an employer care about studies? They have either seen a drop in productivity or they haven't. They couldn't care less about what other employers are experiencing.

I worked for a company that did state gov contracts. We probably built legislative publishing stuff for more US states than any other company in recent years. We never ever locked anyone in, not even little bit. We bult everything on open

True. This generalizes - when there isn't enough of something, only more of it can fix the problem. Rules for regulating what we have might be some small help, but not much, and they would become totally redundant if we had enough of t

I don't have any advice to offer, but I'll give you my passing impression: it strikes me as the epitome of "ML as a solution looking for a problem". The reason people aren't getting excited is because most people ar

I don't see why this should prevent it from being considered "scientific". These things limit how precise it can be but that doesn't really matter much. A few points don't matter. Do the test when you have whatever

You don't understand that "leading to more money" isn't the same thing as "gatekeeping access to more money"? There is more than one way to make more money.

I sometimes wonder if the real issue is that Taiwan represents the incompleteness of the revolution. It's like if the Romanovs had escaped Russia and lived in exile. It would have been a constant thorn in the side of the soviet governm

I'd stay unless I had other GC options (like exceptional qualifications or achievements that would get you into a high priority category). Another factor is how much time is invested in the GC application so far?
