I think you're missing the point of the fee. The company (Visa, Discover, Apple) that processes the transaction charges a fee (flat or percentage) for each purchase. This is why they add the fee. Of course apartments charge high fees f

You know you have to eat less. Counting your calories with a food journal is a very successful way to keep yourself accountable for how much you’re eating. Any special diet or strategy is making it more complicated than it is.

Working in industry and making money also contributes to humankind. Whatever the company is doing must be of some value in order to make money. So someone who may not have the right motivations to getting a PhD is probably better suited to

An unusual chart to convey simple information, and requires explanation, is a poor way to visualize your data. Only make a unique visualization if necessary to convey unique data. So, as you said, here just stick with the bar chart!

Welcome to the service industry. This isn’t doing a favor for a friend but driving someone around for cash.

Hired car is definitely different. You’ve rented that space, it is not public. I don’t see anything wrong with having a phone call while being driven around.

Companies don’t care about this. They just need some arbitrary scale (5 stars, 10 point rating) and anything less than perfect is an excuse to put someone on notice. Always handy to point to when needing an excuse to trim numbers or not inc

Very cool process. I like the resulting site. Now if you could only add an additional “possibly be funny” filter :)

I’ve written documents in org mode and converted to pdf via LaTeX, but I find that if the document gets sufficiently complicated with formatting, I have so many LaTeX blocks in my org file I might as well be writing LaTeX directly. Maybe I’

The majority of academic labs do not have the resources to offer the high salaries skilled coders demand and can easily get elsewhere. And academic research often just needs to be “good enough” for that next paper or grant. Investing lots o

Bokeh and Plotly produce dynamic, javascript based visualizations. ggplot is for static images, which matplotlib is the obvious counterpart in Python. There are notable packages built on top of matplotlib including seaborn and plotnine.

Maybe it's not ironic at all, since you actually experienced it and know the difference.

Dosage and sweetness is surly part of the rationale. Coffee is not a cool, sweet, refreshing drink. Soda is but has around 50 mg of caffeine, while energy drinks have between 80-160 mg. Probable harm from high levels of caffeine much easie

I find their news program on HBO quite good actually, despite their younger journalists who may occasionally fall flat in their interviewing. I can think of numerous interesting stories across the globe; interviewing foreign (I’m American)
