For us slow kids in the back what does this mean, “[…] such that the nine 9-digit numbers formed by the rows of the grid has the highest-possible GCD over any such grid”?

> You should fight for some more rights, sometime <3 I wish we could fight for more rights. We are too spread out for protests to work. The politicians do everything they can to separate themselves from their electorate. And the avera

I can also confirm. I nuked an alt account last year using an app that replaces the content with [deleted] before deleting the post. I'd say at least about 40% of those posts have been restored to full text.

It very much depends on the company and the bosses. I've seen visa status used to keep wages low and to lock people into shitty jobs and positions. These companies also use visa holders as a tool to keep citizen wages down. In both cas

Apple and other mega corps really need to spend some money investing in training/education for these highly specific fields. Advancement in Siri shouldn't be dependent on 3 people that were lost to Google. I know a bunch of capabl

The worst part of even trying to have a discussion about men's health and issues today is how often it devolves into arguments about male status in society. If we had more empathy for one another it would be easier to solve the problem

Unfortunately it takes that kind of language to get some people to even notice men face issues. The constant bombardment of "Men's advantages" by many groups has had the effect that empathy for men's issues non-existent

I've moved 4 times in my adult life. The two biggest issues I've had with making friends is the lack of a gathering place for like minded people, and being accepted by existing cliques. If you don't drink, go to church, or ha

These seemed like a humble brag by upper class jet-setters who get to crow about the "commute" and sacrifices they are making while patting themselves on the back for saving a buck.

I need to see more examples, as it stands the example photos look soulless. It's the eyes, they don't seem to be focused on a particular target like the camera. And a few seem like each eye isn't looking at the same spot.

Get all the sleep you can now. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Learn to accept you are not perfect and will screw up. At some point, when your child is older they will have some anger directed toward you for something you did (or didn

I'll warn you that Plex will do everything possible to get you to add an account. One update (several years back) locked me out of making any changes to my server until I created an account.

I'd try jellyfin first to see if it fits your needs. I went with plex years ago, because they had good app support on the various devices in my house. (Mostly roku now) The problem with Plex is: 1. during a recent half day internet out

As a US citizen, I often wonder how much value we are getting back from our military spending and what amount are we being bilked by the defense industry. I've heard all kinds of stories about the vast amounts of wasteful spending the

I made the mistake and told the truth one time early in my career. I got fired, err... I wasn't retained after a multi-month temp period, and was brought in to be fired, then exit interviewed. I was upset, but stuck to the truth. My di

The two things that bother me about Veritasium are his brand of pseudo-intellectual (smugness maybe?) and the fact that his videos often aren't telling the whole picture.

I always seem to have hardware that hits an edge case for Linux support. Take my gpu's sound support. If I run sound through DisplayPort it runs 40% slower and an octave an a half lower pitch. Over HDMI it runs fine. Oddly, if I have a

My solution for audio on Linux was to buy a cheap USB sound adapter. They can often be found for under $10 and they just work.

The amount of slacking your allowed to get away with depends greatly on your job/boss/organization. If you're a slacker, almost everyone around you knows. The usual reasons I've seen for keeping slackers around include:

Honestly, do you have any desire to improve your current mindset? If you do, you have the capability to change this. Everyday go for a walk outside, and everyday lift something heavy. You can fix yourself, as long as you want to.

Without opportunity there is no cart, nor horse, nor road to travel on. Einstein was fortunate to be born into a family that was educated and well off enough to afford him to study. (Same with Oppenheimer and I'd reason most celebrated

My career hasn't but I have. Got some therapy, journaled a bunch. I eventually realized having an abusive boss or working for an abusive company is the same as having an abusive partner. Recovery is similar. As for the burnout, that ta

Pretty lousy but thanks for asking. I spent the better part of the 7 years: moving for my spouse (they have a phd with limited regions to work in), helped various family members through health issues, then had a health scare of my own. Now
