    I initially was going to cancel as well - I don't care that much about the fast shipping, and if you hit the minimum order, you get free shipping anyway. But, it means 3% back inst…

    Can't live without this. The 10% of the time it doesn't work makes me sad. Super useful from cVim/Vimmium etc, I keep it mapped to 'gh'

    If you rapidly cool the drink, you're definitely right - energy would flow PCM -> drink. Otherwise, it's semantic if GP is correct. There would be dynamic equilibrium, i.e. flow of…

    In addition to the normal vaccuum insulation layer, it has a layer that does a (constant-temperature) phase change at ~140F. If your drink is hotter than this, energy flows out of …

    You might enjoy the [Aharonov-Bohm effect]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aharonov%E2%80%93Bohm_effect ). Quantum mechanics says we can in fact detect `A`. A similar effect exists …

    I find this plausible: .......... > The formula looks at the variables below, and then spits out a "number" for every Googler. Each PA VP gets a % to cut, and as such there is a th…

    How are you not informed in advance? Every job I've had, there's a contract I sign in advance with all terms, and no addendum on day one. I'd think you could refuse to sign an adde…

    I honestly forget. I don't think they were ever on probation per se, but it's not like SH was blindsided. There was plenty of awareness that admin was increasingly unhappy. What I …

    Admin just doesn't care that much which speakers are allowed on campus. Like many progressive things students loudly champion, it's pretty immaterial and easy to just give in. It's…

    What advantages do hydrogen cars have over ICE or electric? I know very little about them. Electric, optimistically, is cost effective (especially if you have solar panels) and con…

    > How do I compute this function? For the kind of problems in physics 101, the Lagrangian is just kinetic energy minus potential energy: L = T - U. This is definitionally true; the…

    I imagine it's a similar tradeoff - with more qubits there are more interactions, ergo lower coherence time

    And a lower brightness than you can go to without it, for Windows at least. On linux, you can make it happen, of course. Idk about Mac.

    Sympy live shell is decent, and the latex rendering is pretty sweet. But, it's on ancient versions of everything, runs slowly, and has a C- UI. Instead, I use Colab with Sympy + la…

    Pixel 4a is as close as I know of, albeit 5.8" screen. $350 is hard to argue with, too.
