At a fitness center, personal trainers serve the role not just of instructing their clients, but of renewing motivation. That task is absolutely dependent of physical proximity. I feel like this dynamic is being completely ignored in most d

And maybe it should affect what (if not how) you perform. If you are probably going to die soon, maybe you would feel your life best spent in a different way than if you had decades left.

Does the Earth's having supported life for millions of years support the idea that our CO2 emissions are not a problem? I want to see all angles here, so is there something I'm missing? Are there cases where volcanoes were spewing out CO2 a

I wonder if the right charities could get just enough people on their feet that they could start to reform their governments from the inside. Then the big change could come from governments, when they were finally "of the people".

Friend: If you can get the money together, get on a bus to Boston (many other cities will work, but that's my home base) and go on couchsurfing.com to find a crash pad. Show up, unannounced, at any of the many, many recruiting offices aroun

Though I have only been on the applicant side of the interview table, everything you say rings true to me. I understand completely why employers need to do low level competence tests. However, I am curious what you mean when you say that it

The success of the web makes horrifyingly apparent how important ubiquity and ease of deployment are. In they quest for users, they trump almost everything else.

Is MIT going to have to stop being so generally open after this?

But I've always read (here and elsewhere) that you should never take a counter offer. Or are you just saying to make it known in that you might leave, without a specific offer from another company on the table?

Somewhat to your point, I've found that people arguing alternative vs modern western medicine are often arguing two sides of different issues. Those in favor of modern, evidence based medicine, explain why the scientific method works, and

Is this largely an illustration of the value of domain knowledge? And I mean as an industry insider, not just a consumer. You don't even know what you don't know when you enter a new world. I bet having someone on the team that had spent a

My finding with D3 is that it chooses to give you power at the expense of ease. So you can do almost anything, but very little is simple. For most of it, you pretty much have to make all the shapes yourself with SVG, then use D3 to tie thei

"This will always happen." I am dubious. It seems a lot of econ people hold this notion with almost religious faith. And I may be mistaken in my doubting and you may be correct. But I wonder if a paradigm shift is on the horizon that will w

Sort of. So much is the result of tiny incremental design improvements over decades or centuries. I remember the first time I took apart a small engine it seemed to work so well together that it was almost organic. Like it had evolved, whic

I'm with you on that. But frankly, I'm glad my passion was in STEM. Because as a kid, I had no interest in thinking about my future financial security. I just happen to be lucky that pursuing my interests coincided with good career prospe

This may be dumb, but what does "householders" mean? I assume it's not "homeowners". Does it just mean someone that is in a settled relationship (ie part of a household)? Because I assume there must be some distinction from just "individual

Passion, yes. When I was in undergrad the rising mantra was "follow your bliss." I think now it should have been "fund your bliss".

Students often work hardest for teachers they like or look-up-to or respect most. So for many students, explaining things well is one necessary but not sufficient teacher characteristic. Your point is important, and needs to be made. We

My understanding is that 3-D printing is still only optimal for prototyping. Once you get into production of any size, traditional methods are much cheaper per unit.

There are times when removing tonsils makes sense, but they used to removed almost as a matter of course from children.

I agree. The promise of REST APIs is that will be self describing, but for that benefit to be realized, we need general purpose REST clients that can "discover" everything they need to know given just a root uri. Are there any such clients?

Can someone point me to a high quality d3 tutorial? Either video or text, but an actual progression from basic concepts to a full working project, with code? I have read a decent amount of their documentation wiki, and have modified some of

Say you know the coordinates of all the corners of a cube in three dimensions. If you wanted to move that cube to the side and turn it, you could first add some fixed number to all the x coordinates of every point, then do some trig to find

I think that notion may be a case of "story bias". The stories of scientific advancement coming form those outside the field are so much more interesting that they get told in vast disproportion, making it seem they are the norm.

Because KE is proportional to v^2, and then you get another factor of v since the volume (and thus mass) of air through the rotors per unit time is proportional to how fast the air is moving. At least that's my guess. And if I'm right, it's

Thank you. That is very helpful. But what about if it was necessary to have one command that changed the state of more than one resource? And as you say, since certain aspects of the API (like honk horn) are unfit for REST, does it make sen

You may have a point that I didn't consider. So if we wanted to unlock the car, would we perhaps post new a version of the lock resource (in json, xml, or whatever serialization format the system uses), representing its new state, to the ur
