The difference is the sense of touch vs vision. Touch is the most sensitive sense and the mismatch between it and vision is more noticeable in a video game than clicking buttons on a website. 300ms is actually the instantaneous threshold fo

In general, the above poster is correct. I'm glad you had an easy time though.

It can take time to learn how to close. The more you try, the better you will get at it. Also sometimes things happen that are completely out of your control. For example, I was negotiating an initial 5 figure contract but they were so impr

If you are just getting started, I think it is good advice either way. What is most important at first is just having clients. Whether you are behaving as an executive or grunt doesn't matter. If someone has clients, then I think it is

There are several companies working on fusion designs that can capture electricity directly, such as dense plasma focus, and some of these devices fit inside a shed. If successful, they could be used for trains, ships, spacecraft, as well a

Server-side cursors are great if you need to do streaming which I have in the past. It keeps both the client and server memory use in check.

Postgres is fine if your search problem is mostly a recall problem. If N is large enough or you have small N with enough overlapping keywords (long documents) then precision becomes important. That is when you need things like BM25, PageRan

Staying in the correct place and staying oriented at the correct angle are two different things.

Personally, I think some rich people will likely go the solar+batteries route just because it requires less work overall after it is installed or provides peace of mind. Maintaining and refueling a generator isn't hard, but it is still

I assume a sunshade in space would need to stay oriented as the Earth revolved around the Sun in order to deflect the sunlight. Therefore "take down" could simply mean disable the orientation equipment.

It wasn't a conspiracy theory. The Russians really did influence our election. The question of whether Trump was involved in the conspiracy too was answered by Mueller, it was no, and now there is nothing to report. Ironically Trump is

If you drive through small to medium sized towns in Ohio, Indiana, etc you will often find a closed factory, mill, or some other manufacturing building that used to employ most of the town. But the jobs were shipped overseas or eliminated b

Reagan started the "trickle down" BS, and manufacturing globalism really started in the 80s. You are right that Clinton promoted it and Reagan didn't.

Rotation and velocity hint that something is amiss but doesn't directly measure dark matter. Gravitational lensing is a direct measurement of matter but doesn't tell us much about its composition. If using the most general definit

Well that is the crux isn't it? How do we directly detect gravitational particles?

by rpedela 7y ago
Direct detection would be detecting/trapping the dark matter particle(s). Those observations are indirect and it may turn out that there is another explanation other than dark matter such as we are using GR equations incorrectly as sug

You are probably being downvoted because the big bang, our ability to estimate the age of the universe, etc is believed to be a fact by many including astronomers and astrophysicists. And yet there are so many unanswered questions that it i

I think your edit is why I am excited about this feature. There are so many times when I just need some relatively simple text formatting, such as titlecase, but want to store the original text too. Titlecase isn't hard to do or expens

The standard is to have a placebo/control group because then you know for sure if the treatment is responsible for any improvement. Most new treatments either fail or provide a small benefit, however if the treatment is found to be ext

The flu vaccine is important to get. * Every year the vaccine is updated to match the new mutation which is why you need to get one every year. * Some years the vaccine is not fully protective, but it will still reduce the severity and dura

One of the things I love about Clubhouse, which I believe is unique among PM tools, is that their Github integration makes it feel like I am just using Github Issues when checking in code. Other PM tools have Github integrations too, but I
