This is true. On the other hand, the recipes aren't typically good, and generating novel ones isn't really what people mostly want to do... so the value seems limited.

This isn't really surprising. The source material it's trained on isn't particularly good, and interpolating between them at all generally doesn't work well.

The current generation mostly have shared whiteboards already I think (zoom, teams, etc). Digital whiteboards aren't great, but they are useful. Interestingly though they dont' seem toe be used quite int he same way. I still insi

Not really, at least in my experience. Overhead is fungible, so they get roughly the same cut of everything that comes in (to a first approximation). That means the support the institution will put behind a shoot-for-the-stars research c

It's not really quality vs quantity. The root problem is that (particularly in R1's) the job of raising money to perform the science has devolved somewhat to the level of individual labs and PI's, which creates an incentive t

FWIW You can do a C4 model using plantUML diagrams [1] imported directly into RST markdown (or inline, fwiw, but that makes live preview harder) That way in an editor like VS Code (e.g. where you have/make plugins to support) you can l

There are different ways to do it, that's one of them. A lot of the techniques were first used with airplanes, then later with satellites. Lots of overlap because planes allowed for easier localization and better resolution, especiall

Some jurisdictions seem to be attempting to counter this sort of thing, and an aspect is: if you can't do it properly, we will, and send you the bill at our chosen rates. And we are going to check.

Some jurisdiction will make you replace the tree in that case, just to avoid this sort of mechanism.

"I don't like how the system works" and "I blame this company for working in the system" aren't really the same point though. If the real problem is the first one, then implicitly there is a need to propose so

I don't think they are missing the point, really - the average income in NYC is still "only" about 100k. Choosing to live in more expensive parts of the city and for 2.5 times that may open up lots of opportunities, and that&

It can be as simple as where the business is located. Perhaps the useful definition of a lifestyle business is one where explicitly part of business's purpose is to achieve personal non-business goals for one or more people involved.

They seem to be pretty much the opposite of a patent troll, no? I mean, you and I may not like how aggressively they are approaching it, but they did develop the technology. Overall you can argue they as a company would have done better to

That is essentially the entire idea behind patents. They get a limited time of control, the public benefits later. Like it or not, this is how the system is supposed to work.

Agree both background checks and skill tests can work very well in an ideal form, but it's expensive (in time, mostly). As practised, they are very much a mixed bag. The latter is a problem past early career stuff anyway, as you ar

In my experience: (1) just isn't true. It's at best a mixed bag. (2) is somewhat true. Team fit is pretty hard to figure out without interactions, and agree sometimes managers just want to get their oar in. (3) is overs
