That’s so cool! I really miss Chicago some days.

Frankly, I only go on Facebook a few times a month to occasionally check in. I feel like logging in daily is not the point of the service.

I’ve thought the same thing

One of my colleagues spent a lot of time working on combination anthropological/aid missions. According to him, toilets/waste disposal was usually the number one way to help people…

Strong agree. Unfortunately, it seems that many sites do this. Many I know refuse to use them for this reason.

This general area (epigentics) is what inspired me to take up a more serious routine of lifting. I’m not sure if it will have any particular effect, but I suppose I am significantl…

As a former employee of one of these (quite famous), the curricula are oftentimes relatively good, with an emphasis on practical skills. But it’s difficult for me to see them as a …

I would have loved this during my post-doc!

As a kid I always thought spandex or whatever bike riders were huge dorks who got scammed into wasting their money. If you’re driving around your home area a few times a month (or …

Really? I had one sort of similar because I took as many cross listed math electives as possible and avoided any software type courses, but even then I learned a lot less analysis,…

Idk, on the job I was in at that point I worked my specified amount and then worked on developing my skills and education outside work. I watched as my boss’ project floundered, he…

Your boss is entrusted with other people’s money, resources, employees to manage it in a way that generates value for them. How he looks and how his image impacts you feeling like …

“Make your boss a hero” is one of the most deranged things I hear managers say. At my first job out of university, my manager told me my job was to make him look good. I instantly …

For one example the notion of a generalized inner product and its induced norm is important for the derivation of conjugate gradient algorithm. My smarter friends have told me that…

Certainly you would want a more abstract follow up for many cases. Even engineering or computer science students may have to learn about e.g. inner product spaces and orthogonal po…
