Big fan of TWIM. I've tried several methods and TWIM seems to work super well with my brain.

"Frank Chambers chose to forgo an investment of $500,000 which, if held until the stock price hit its 1987 high, would have appreciated to more than $37 million." Oi, hindsight is great. The '87 high was about $3.50. ADSK is

Every time I see an FPGA article, I feel a little sad that Tabula[1] didn't make it -- 1.6Ghz clock and reprogrammable on the fly. RIP. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula,_Inc .

Are there correlation studies on this? I’m genuinely interested in reading about this.

Clifford Ashley was one of the last marlinspike seamen. What an encyclopedic knowledge of knots. I pull my copy out every now and then and just sit and tie knots and/or share useful knots with my kiddo.

This would check out as a winning strategy. If you figure how to remove this arbitrage out before anyone else, then you nobody else can replicate your strategies. Since they were early in the quant game, this seems plausible (though other t

UU sounds awesome. Their 4th principle, the “free and responsible search for truth and meaning” sounds particularly enticing when I think about what their sermons would be like. I’d expect the pastors to draw from an expansive set of source

Agreed, the precedent set, if goes through, seems fraught and ripe for attempts at expanding the spectrum usage.

Here is the link to the FCC docket. Looks like comments can be still be added. https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?q=(pr... ) Edit: looks like hn escapes the parentheses in the docket query.

~6 seems to be the right age. I tried with with my kiddo at 5 and with another kid when they were 5 with no success. A bunch of first graders, on the other hand, were quick studies.

Huh, my daughter and I taught her first grade class SET last year (I did most of the pedagogy…). They seemed both able to learn it and engaged. It wasn’t in a math circle setting, but a lesson to the whole class. Would be cool to investigat

I took a self-rescue course and a list at the end of their handout had such good engineering tips that I shared it with my eng team. Lots to be learned about engineering from climbing/mountaineering. The list was something like the fol

Like other comments, I agree that the technology leaves something to be desired. However, I learned welding from a community college in high school. I wasted A LOT of welding rod/wire and metal just getting the pacing and angles correc

Yeah! Go you! There's so many great lessons in this game -- arithmetic, probability, decision making, managing competing desires, risk and ROI (gotta bet some to get something back, and ultimately you might not get it back).

The math and probability part could probably be made into a game. Something engaging and with a compelling end goal (candy or completion of a fun narrative) would catch her eye. My goals for playing are more oriented towards bonding, learni

Awesome. Good on you! The kids are lucky that you organized one. Edit: Just looked through your website. Love the math and the satire. Keep it up!

Ah! Not me. I should have made that clear. A Mathematician named Alexander Zvonkin wrote it. The book's super well written and is full of useful ideas though!

A plug for "Math from Three to Seven: The Story of a Mathematical Circle for Preschoolers" seems warranted here. It has great ideas for fun things to do with kids as well. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book&#x2
