Strictly you can NOT actually get perfect models with 100% prediction for any coil design because magnetic fields can only be solved directly with Maxwell's rather than the simple algebraic equations being used by this app. That'

Evidently their degrees are Bayesian FALSE POSITIVES - they are NOT the experts qualified as their degrees would mislead you to believe!

Neither radiation nor lead nor DDT have these kinds of effects. The most likely scenario are endocrine disrupters in the form of any number of industrial chemicals introduced over the 20th and 21st centuries. The EPA has no protocols or r

Well, given that the SpaceX rocket engine runs on methane and a lot of it, it makes sense that they'd need a cheap and plentiful source of that methane (aka natural gas). The cheapest way to get it now is by fracking - the infrastruct

Stop using FAANG products and services. That's what will be most effective.

This is where a human videographer could trivially do better or add value. The obsession with "automating everything" is a real disease in ML and CS generally. Sometimes it makes things worse! This is one of those situations.

It depends on where you were raised. Maybe not in Blue Urban cities but it's trivial in the rest of the USA (where FEW Blue Urban denizen has likely ever traveled).

This is a wonderful ANECDOTAL story. I'm happy for her. However: Statistically it's unlikely to be common future - you can not generalize reality from specific cases from the tails of the distribution! If you categorized her befo

Yet another reason to never use Facebook! Using Facebook has been an IQ test - you are below 100 if you use it!

Honestly this doesn't happen if you have a good corporate culture to begin with (which Google has not had for quite a while). I always go back to my experience at HP when Bill and Dave were still alive: the leadership decision to trust

As someone who was raised in the Bay Area and had 3 decades of tech career in SV, and left forever in 2016, I'm still surprised at how thick those remaining are to not see the reality. I assume they don't get out much so they&#x2

Yes, sometimes. I'd recommend that any man thinking about taking these for ANY REASON (including transitioning) have his T levels measured first - Low T is more likely to cause adverse behaviors and mental issues than high T (contrary

Absolutely! Cialis is my "go to" also - because it's half-life is about 24 hours so you can take it once a day and not "plan" what is often unplannable. Also agree with citrulline. Good choice plus it also helps wi

In MOST countries of the world, viagra, et al. are "over the counter" and have been for nearly 20 years. Requiring a prescription raises the price of any drug quite radically.

It can work but the biggest problem is current capacity is generally compromised this way. The best way is to simply design the power supply right in the first place! Today that's using a buck-boost isolating switcher to create BOTH

It's not "bro culture" or anything "male" - it's just regular lack of leadership at the top.

EVERYTHING fails and dies (entropy) so it's really a matter of choosing how you "live the life and deal the the inevitability death" (of the battery, not your own). Having a choice with more openness of controls is probably t

As an MBA with BSEE/MSEE, this is exactly correct. Too many take the degree and training as a blindly followed cookbook rather than just "ideas to think about and think of trying". It SHOULD BE the latter!! The "religi

No. Infrastructure is the problem. If you though charge stations for EV were a problem, hydrogen is 1000x worse (and harder to solve). Hydrogen is a bitch to control - generally do you NOT and never are able. We only have to look at the t

All true. NOBODY has or had any clue about the dynamics of JIT supply chains. If you are an engineer: the assumptions were that they were linear and time-invariant when in fact they are highly nonlinear and time-variant. NOBODY with an MBA

I don't negotiation or argue anything with mentally ill people. They are a write-off in that regard so I don't get mad. Let them.

I would have been far harsher! If you work for an immoral organization and are OK with that by virtue of continuing to draw a wage there, YOU ARE AS IMMORAL as the company because you aid and abet it. I won't have anything to do with y

Fun fact: the USSR used exactly the same technology and that is why enabled the US to monitor all phone calls using the Rhyolite/Aquacade surveillance satellite: microwaves are line-of-sight and due to the curvature of the Earth (take

It's not really surprising. Engineering (which most programming is) is the economic application of scientific knowledge for human value/advantage. Thus that implies several things: • the core engineering is defined by economics, p

This. If you can't get into the heads of those you are communicating with, you will mostly fail in your writing objectives. And this isn't simply what they are thinking now; it's meta-thinking and meta-meta-thinking as well
