Well, the value of the stock for people who essentially do not have any meaningful control of the business must essentially be tied to the expectation of some liquidity event down …

I would actually go so far to say as I am not aware of any good "as it really works" references. Handbooks exist, but they're pretty expensive. Since you have an EE background, I w…

Focusing in on "grabbing references", it's as easy as drag-and-drop if you use Zotero. It can copy/paste references in BibTeX format. You can even customize it through the BetterBi…

To be maximally pedantic, sine waves (or complex exponentials through Euler's formula), ARE special because they're the eigenfunctions of linear time-invariant systems. For anybody…

Interesting, I somewhat of an opposite reaction, although I am certainly not a mathematician. Once everything became definitions, my eyes glazed over - in most cases the rationale …

Not the original poster, but I want to push back on one thing -- being capable of something and being one of the best in the world at something are hugely different. Forgive me if …

Five or six years ago my family started went through all the old recipes - from old newspapers, cookbooks, etc. that were in homes across my extended family. They then decided on w…

The 600-6GHz range is a rough approximation for some of the most used bands in telecommunications, e.g. Wi-Fi and 5G NR FR1. It's worth noting that the article explicitly mentions …

That's true, Laplace corresponds to a basis of complex exponentials that can grow or decay in time instead purely imaginary exponentials. We restrict the A e^[(a+j b) t] domain jus…

I'm surprised you're one of the only commenters to bring this up. I have an electrical engineering background -- for analysis, lots of systems are assumed to be either linear or ve…

I've done a ton of low-budget analog hardware debugging, and the major problem with hardware debugging is each attempt to fix the problem takes a long time. If I had wanted to test…

Yep! Fully agreed with all your points, I was just trying to get at the original poster's line of thinking.

What they're saying is that the geometrical interpretation of an outwardly expanding spherical shell of power shouldn't depend on frequency. In this respect they are correct and th…

Absolutely I agree that the geometry of the problem dictates 1/R^2 dependence, regardless of frequency. The gain, which I agree is a misleading way to think about the area, is rela…

Short answer: it doesn't, though I understand why it's misleading. Read my response above.

Yes and no. I emphatically agree that the way the Path Loss Equation (Friis) is taught is misleading. I much prefer the way you interpret it, with the transmit antenna represented …

Not the original poster, but I learn best reading textbooks cover-to-cover. A couple things that help me: 1) I buy physical textbooks and absolutely destroy them with notes in the …

Not the commenter you originally addressed, but I used to use a Brother printer that was purchased around 2016-2017. I once bought third-party cartridges and the printer noticed th…

Long answer incoming, recurring events plagued me for more time than I'd care to admit. I'm perfectly happy to clarify anything I've expressed poorly. a) I had full control of the …

Very cool! Having written a couple of web calendars myself, I found that most of the hair-tearing logical complexity was due to recurring events. I didn't see any reference to recu…

I'm not even sure you need to invoke AI for saturation of the web, at least for things that don't have to do with current events -- our collective archives just keep getting bigger…
