For tools, GarageBand is plenty to start with. Last I checked it was free on iPads and Macs.

The article mentions that a major factor in technical grad school is research funding. Most grad students in engineering, for example, don't pay tuition themselves. They work for a pittance and receive tuition as a benefit.

I took the previous comment to mean that the US has benefited from brain drain so far. If we turned off that benefit, that could handicap the US.

I see what you're saying about dilution. Each methyl radical will run into an O2 much more often than a Cl2. But that doesn't mean the latter doesn't happen at all. There are rate equations and (so far as I can see) you get a

The methyl radicals will also react directly with the chlorine. If anyone else is reading along, please do not attempt to use chlorine gas to "destroy" methane in air that anybody's going to be breathing. That would be very d

On the other hand, some claim that biased news sources can be misleading.

The link points out that formaldehyde is one product of the methane-Cl reactions. Not sure we're better off with the formaldehyde (and its own further reaction products) than with the methane. They're not exactly talking about des

Unfortunately, some products of methane-chlorine reaction are much less desirable than methane.

The article explains what copy is. It's advertising writing, manipulation rather than factual communication.

by nyeah 5mo ago
This is copy. I'm only interested in content.

Sure, and increasingly those people are being played for suckers. The article makes that point.

It's not self-inflicted at all. Users didn't enshittify the sites we used to enjoy.

Great point. This happens on forums too. For example if Kate opposes knitting bullshit, a common strategy is to characterize Kate as 'hostile', 'overheated', 'overreacting', etc. Kate's actual argument do

It can be, sure. But a two-way deal might also affect third parties. Example: what if Adleman hires Rivest to put laxative in Shamir's soup? Two consenting parties have made a deal. Shamir freely chooses to eat his soup, despite knowin

Of course lenders will lend more against more collateral. That doesn't mean it always ends happily.

For the most part, the lenders are not the people receiving management fees.

If it was just you personally, sure. But a bank failure affects lots more people than just the bank.

It's still an LBO, in effect borrowing against the target to get control of it.

Great point. Almost by definition, as long as we're going 95mph in a straight line, we're still ok. But some alarmist passenger might get emotional anyway. (Sigh. People are people.)

Keynes was aware of the inflation problem.

The US had a balanced budget in 2001, after decades of most people claiming that was impossible. The problem with a balanced budget is we all have to live in the real world. The actual real world that you can measure, not each individual&#x

Agreed. And driving 95mph is not a problem as long as there aren't any tricky situations hidden a few miles down the road.

A ratio (e.g. 100%) of quantities expressed in different units can be useful. "How many years of GDP is the debt?" Miles per gallon is another example. It's a useful number.

But keep in mind the demographics of chat. 80% of the commenters are much smarter and more knowledgeable than the other 80%.

I think it can. In extreme cases (say grad school) I've had books and "book learnin'" suck the life out of my life. "All I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my mind away but it's a great escape.&q

I hear you. No serious person disapproves of avocados due to price. However at $1.00 to $2.50 a pound they are a higher-priced food. Another higher-priced food is meat at $6-$20 a pound. Conscientious shoppers, or those in a cash crunch, mi

I dunno. If people eat hamburger on a bun, we approve. If they eat avocado on toast, we disapprove. That's a luxury item. Ok.
