Maybe something like Polya's "How to Solve it" and/or Solow's "How to Read and Do Proofs" would help. When I studied math in college I very much struggled with more advanced mathem…

I will always remember Galois theory as the punchline to my Abstract Algebra courses in college. Galois was a brilliant math mind, and I'm curious what else he would have contribut…

Wow that is a great side-project, and a great README to boot. I've been meaning on working through Nand to Tetris after playing around some with Ben Eater's 6502 Computer ( https:/…

Frankly I'm surprised they didn't nip this in the bud years ago. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess.

I like how you prompted for a 50 year span and the response claimed to be over a 28 year and 55 year span in the same sentence. > According to a comparison of 28 years > 1961-2016

Very curious how governments will approach taxing these as gas tax revenues shrink. I know in some places your registration is higher but after talking with a coworker who pays mor…

YouTube I am not so sure, I have a feeling it has to do with how little sway the content owners have in the ads that play on their videos. If you are a big channel you may have eno…

I wonder: a) if there actually was an issue or if the team just upped his exposure after a tantrum b) when Elon will pull the Tom from myspace strategy and just add himself to ever…

Interesting, could be my particular market. I work mostly in the video space, not display. I imagine the media matters too--I'm involved with higher quality media owners.

I work in the industry and ad blockers are not a significant concern. It's a cat and mouse game for sure, but the vast vast majority of traffic is doing nothing to block ads. I gue…

It's impressive the amount of effort the Runescape community puts into these projects. It's amazing how many people have abandoned the game at one point in youth, yet come back and…

Yep! No go arounds once you re-entered. Here's the training aircraft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_Training_Aircraft

He also claimed that water is indeed wet.

In my experience noncompetes aren't enforced, unless you are very high up in the company and even then C-level folks usually get nice incentives to stay away from their competitors…

Reminds me of the Homer Simpson's control room, #5 especially so

If you have good credit, you'd be surprised how low PMI can get when you put less than 20% down. I wish I had learned it sooner. Saved 6 figures for a down payment only to find out…

Sounds like MMO grinds to me

I guess I don’t understand why that’s acceptable. 15% degradation takes you from what 350 miles from full to just shy of 300. How much worse is it in the winter? None of those thin…

Cost of battery maintenance seems to be a huge thing I never see mentioned here. I imagine EVs will depreciate much faster in that arena. My 15 year old Ford Focus still gets 30 mp…

Kristin Harila of Norway is attempting to beat this record this year. She has just 3 remaining. https://explorersweb.com/gasherbrum-i-summits-keep-speed-rec...

If you take the standard deduction isn't that exactly what you are doing?

Global Rescue comes to mind, I used to have a $100k evacuation policy with them thanks to some of my Mountaineering club affiliations.

Sure, but I'd say for just about every person the risks far outweigh the rewards. And IMO adding intermediaries to account for that risk seems an unnecessary abstraction given the …

Yeah this strikes me as odd too. My bank will instantly deposit transfers while the (free) ACH process takes time to clear. I can transfer up to something like $99,999 a day which …
