I have decent luck with Microcenter as a Newegg substitution. + if you live in some cities, they have brick and mortar

I work in a company in the climate tech space, and this all rings very true. Our customer is utilities and I have stayed from fairly early stage through acquisition. It's frustrati…

Thanks for the warning. I'll go with my normal approach to non-entertaining non-fiction and just read a couple of online summaries. E.g. https://www.nateliason.com/notes/antifragil…

Where did the OP say that they have a dog? I grew up around hunting and farms and also don't find it surprising that animals are fairly intelligent. While your statement about past…

Agree. It's naive to assume your use case is the basic one when using these libraries or that you know the underlying implementation and all of the parameters, since in ML the impl…

We already ban lots of personal choices that are viewed to be harmful to the general population. Smoking in public for example.Given that the impact of private schools is arguably …

I know this is meant to show some level of not knowing stuff being somehow correlated to a rise in level, but couldn't it be an example of successful use of abstraction. For exampl…

My biggest concern right now with China trade, aside from their abysmal environmental standards is that they are actively committing ethnic cleansing[1]. It baffles me how little a…

No doubt the first 4 hours are intense and draining, which I definitely experience. But curious if any on this thread notice any correlation with what you put into your body? If I …

Maybe, maybe not. And if there is, they may or may not have enough bandwidth/power to really flesh out the full product vision. Part of the attraction to startups for some, myself …

Funneling money to the shareholders of companies involved in the production of weapons, of course.

No. You cite an article that falsely compares sales and delivery numbers. It's deliveries on already sold cars that slowed.

I'm glad you're adding new info here, but I'm not sure why it has to be couched it divisive left-right rhetoric. I'm leftish and didn't know this. I am however, for certain kinds o…

My partner got me back into lifting via the her membership to NerdFitness Academy. Helpful for those who might benefit from some gamification and gives a decent set of "levels" to …

Because it can be.

I like the idea and genuinely hope that fact checking becomes more mainstream. Seriously, kudos to the author for building something. But what I'm not getting is why a news platfor…

That's the thing. P values don't prove that anything must be. They simply say that if rerunning the experiment again, it would be surprising to get a different result. Conversely, …

I think it depends on if there is a distinction between digits/letters and words, otherwise "26" would be a good starting answer too (since each letter is it's own word).

If you look at the referenced map, the affordable states aren't exactly hotbeds of opportunity. Anecdotally,I had to move from one of those to one of the not affordable ones to hav…

Absolutely. Though as someone who has eaten squirrel (WV native. Yes it tastes like chicken.), I am amazed that someone took the time to get the brains out and eat them. It takes s…

The article doesn't talk about greenhouse gas emissions, so the power grid and fuel source isn't really relevant to the point, especially since oil is an extremely small part of th…

Not the poster's job. Facebook is a business. If they want a solution from the poster, pay for it.

Are you aware of one for the kind of "Architect" you are? I'd definitely like to read that.
