In this specific case is it the law that's restricting his speech, or the licensing's boards actions? I'm not necessarily taking an opinion on the actual merits of the case in the article, if anything I does sound like they

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm assuming whoever wrote the act at least reviewed it with one. Here is a snippet what is says. 6787. Acts constituting a misdemeanor ... (h) Use the title, or any combination of that title, of “profession

It's not just some organization, there is a law in california. https://www.bpelsg.ca.gov/laws/pe_act.pdf If you don't like the law, complain to your local state legislator. For me, it didn't affect my a

Yeah I have to say I also disagree. I'm EE, 20+ years of "professional" experience and I would never use the the term "Professional Engineer" to describe myself and I don't ever recall any collegues using that

There is a bill making its way (slowly) through congress on digital identity. But I don't think it has any provisions on USPS, but I think it mostly funds making recommendations. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116t

I found doing the excercise on excercism.io very helpful. I read the manuals, some books, but actually writing code is the best. The nice thing about excercism.io is the examples have self checking code and you can get mentor feedback. h

I started out using excel and quicken but at some point ended up using beancount, fava and python. There are so many variables like some investments are tax free, others are tax deferred, some are exempt from state but not federal taxes, e

I bought some FEIT rgb smartbulbs at costco (there were on sale I think it was $5 or $10 each) but yes I don't like the outsourced service (tuya), even though I normally turn them off with a switch. I even wrote FEIT suggesting they m

I retired close to 7 years ago, and I have a similar set of guidelines for doing part time work. However I have another stipulation which is that if I don't personally know you, I'm not interested, at least for paid work. I&#x27

Searching internet archive for books is really great. I do prefer books to online reading, and often times I can get a book I'm interested in via inter-library loan if I am willing to wait. However if I can read the first chapter onl

I also choose to learn it on my left hand. The way you use it your hand is kinda strapped in so if you want to do anything thing else (like open a door for instance) it's better to have your dominant hand free.

I have one I bought maybe 8 years ago. It's the wired version. There was some pretty good tutorial software for learning to type but I could never really get the Ctrl key combos to work which made emacs hard to use. But for just let

I think the thing I've seen that's the hardest to detect is reflections on the falling edge of scl double clocking. It's been a long time since I've seen it maybe more modern controllers slew rate limit the falling edge

Getting good yield/performance on the radio is non trivial. Aside from having domain experts you have a pretty significant investment in equipment to do the testing. Broadcom and other semis split that cost over many customers.

Yep that's exactly my setup. I don't even leave the house I have the printer in a closet and can peek at it from time to time while watching tv. I added an LED strip I can turn on/off from octoprint as a light for the camera

Yep. My town (Encinitas, ca) also did it a while back. It went into full effect the beginning of last year. I would say at best there is 50% compliance i.e. half the gardeners are using electric, the other half gas. On the other hand I

Yes this is exactly my experience which is why I still use Quicken. My other concern is if something happened to me it would be much harder for my spouse to figure out than Quicken. However I have used beancount, fava and python to do my

ltc in Japan is closer to medicare in the us. Its run by the city and is need based and they can deliver services to the home. You get a case manager who contracts the services and then you might have a copay or deductible.

Can you elaborate a bit? My son is a mathematician, a post doc right now. While I would not say math is over funded, my understanding is that most of the money they spend (above and beyond salaries) is just travel related so they can talk

My mother in law is 89 and lives alone in Japan. While it's not perfect it's amazing the difference between the system there vs the system in America. I think one of the problems with Elder care in the US is that it's hard
