No, trying to understand whenever someone sees "it rained alot" and equates it to death of the world and reconcile it with a basis in science. Interested in long term climate change and how the latest is impacting what we see. Not

So US-only warming instead of global? Confused. Admittedly I may not understand, is US is expected to be impacted differently by global warming than other countries?

The ironic thing here is the presumedly Republican majority (of voters) voting for a guy promising what amounts to a monetary handout. But are typically vehemently opposed to government handouts?

Was it discussed at start of contract about expectations of progress velocity and cost? If it was and you met those, they may have changed their minds about that and not much you can do to change that they did that. If it wasn't discus

Will you be on your deathbed thinking "I wish I read another tedious computer book?" If so, then yes! Seriously though, probably better things to be done than work through Knuth books in my experience.

Has it been demonstrated that if housing supply is less restricted, developers will want to build more? Is it always profitable for them to do so? I would think this is more complex, in that even if there were opportunities to build residen

Judgments about wasted time are incredibly subjective and prone to errors, not to mention unclear in relation to what might be the ultimate nature of a human's existence and life. I know some people that love woodworking for example, t

It seems like, to obviously generalize, a need to look successful. "My son is a successful partner at a firm after graduating Harvard," instead of having to say, "oh, he is unemployed but it's because I'm wealthy.&q

Same here. I call it "agile waterfall" development.

Thanks! I looked more at their website about this project and looks like there was collaboration with other orgs on this. Below says "With the support of Island Conservation and New Zealand’s Environment and Conservation Technologies L

I may have missed this in the article, but does anyone know what organization or group is doing this work with drones on this project? I seem to see small companies pop up that offer 'drone support' on things like property photos,

So, if you really do want more information about the alternative proposed, look at the Calvin system mentioned in the article -- which also links to the paper for Calvin describing how it approaches the problem.

Here's an article from mid-2018 showing (mock?) images of the company's planned use of this as a "luxury airship" https://newatlas.com/airlander-10-passenger-cabin/55515/

Here is a good article for you to read written by a long time embedded systems guy directed at those looking to get into the industry: http://www.ganssle.com/startinges.htm

Yeah, even funnier though is anyone can submit signatures to this with no verification. I just signed it for you (search for your username). Who knows which of these people actually 'signed' or not. Computer scientists!

Not sure if it'd work for what your situation is, but there is up to 1yr visa possible if you have equivalent 30 million yen in savings. I don't know if they'd really care if you kept working remote as long as you had the mon

Take it or leave it: I'd say learn more about yourself, how the "extroverted is good, introverted is bad" culture came about, and how to work with your strengths. One book I'd recommend if you want to start exploring thi

The article doesn't mention this, but it will be alot easier to max out a 401k and build that retirement fund making those larger coastal salaries. Ultimately it seems hard to argue in general that one would come out ahead financially

I worked with an ex-ecology professor on some 'data science' projects at work, who suggested this older book I enjoyed called "The Ecological Detective: Confronting Models with Data." Good read imho for ideas about gener

Have you ever called a hotline when you've had a life crisis? I'm just wondering how often people that suggest this have tried it themselves.

With the rampant sexism in west coast tech companies, you'd think they'd feel right at home in the southern states then.

We currently use Plotly quite a bit where I work for a customer facing website with a wide variety of charts. Does anyone know what some of the tangible benefits might be to migrating to this instead of using Plotly?

Sure -- you noticed that like ~46% of voters choosing on the issue opposed it though right? I mean maybe that's typical to have something like this win by a 4% margin but I'd have to say it's far from a general majority sayin
