It's interesting how few streaming stations there are in eastern Asia.

I live in Cleveland, and it sounds like they're considering the drive-thru testing approach as a possibility. Hoping this ramps up this month.

It's the lack of information and sense that there are no adults in the room among our leadership that is the most frustrating. It worries me more than the virus itself.

Related note: Strang's essay on the imbalance in education in favor of Calculus over Linear Algebra is (in my opinion at least) a great read, for those interested in the pedagogy of mathematics. http://web.mit.edu/18.06

Interestingly, cities in India seem to be at a lower traffic level than 2019 too. Maybe it's related to other factors?

Yes, ultimately the intention (quite surprisingly) of the USAF is to replace the A-10 series with the F-35.

Also, some parents do develop those feelings, but over time rather than immediately.

I remember Metal Gear Solid having movie-style credits at the beginning and end of the game that feature his name, I wonder if that's the origin?

It's been a random mix for me. The non-tech meetups (hiking, board games, etc.) that I've attended were often better experiences on average than tech-related ones, which were often a bit too focused on business interests.

Bots or not, it's not very authentic or honest, and certainly not good PR.

SymPy Gamma ( https://gamma.sympy.org/input/?i=integrate+x%5E2 ) sort of fits as an alternative, though it's not very good at parsing general questions/expressions.

I tinkered with home automation in the past, and had the same worries. I felt comfortable enough with Z-Wave, but drew the line at anything networked.

I work on non-linear optimization problems for most of my work projects, and I know exactly what you mean. One of these years we'll be freed from remembering calculus I :)

I've noticed that it's all come full-circle for me again too, when it comes to purchasing from Amazon. It seems that I can't even trust the "verified purchase" reviews anymore.

I came into the link ready to nitpick the choices (for some reason which I really should examine), but it's actually a nice birds-eye-view of the field that is rare to see. I feel like mathematicians, perhaps more than most, tend to st

Great point contrasting Nature with GH, it was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

I had the same issues coming off of Lexapro. Weird brain shocks. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) has been better for me all around, but I worry about what it will be like coming down off of it too. The good news is that I'm overall in a good pl

I listen to Joe pretty often, but to be honest the quality of his interviews is hit-or-miss to me. Sometimes it's really great, sometimes he rambles and goes back over the same topic a few times.

Sort of a tangent, but I'd be curious to know what sort of recent advances there have been in the study or applications of cellular automata. It's been awhile since I picked up Wolfram's "A new kind of science"

Very cool! I had this exact idea of a service a few years back, but was one of those things I never found the time or motivation to actually do. The results seem very nice.

The standard ritual for measuring significance in research seems to me to be some strange marriage of the ideas of Fisher, Neyman, and Pearson that I'm not sure any of them would have actually agreed with. I'd be interested to hea

I definitely wouldn't use any kind of technology that doesn't gracefully fall back to working as an uncontrolled "dumb" device. Z-Wave switches are at least pretty good at this, disconnecting my hub turns them back into
