Isn't there TRT that doesn't impact your endogenous production? (HCG, SERMs)

There is large-enough consensus on this drug for its main use cases (treating diabetes and obesity), but more importantly for this conversation: it's actually quite common for drugs to get new indications after their initial one --- at

He worked mostly on the software side, but of course had important input into what sensors and processors were chosen for the phones.

I did my PhD in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics, and despite "optical" being part of that I realized midway that I didn't know enough about how regular cameras worked! It didn't take very long to learn, and

Even better if it is actually a usb stick, too.

This might be the silicon valley bubble here though.

I am sorry you feel that way =/; I understand it was a picky comment, but quibbling over it is far from the gross overstatement you mentioned.

I've read before that they used to use the sound of bacon cooking on a skillet to mimic the sound of rain in movies. I think I can hear it...

From the post: "Ray tracing was invented by Turner Whitted around 1980." I believe that Turner probably did some great things, but somehow I don't think I believe he invented ray tracing. Ray tracing has been around for so lo

It seems to me like when I type in company names, I don't get the exact colors they use in their branding...

I often get asked about what my views on doing a PhD are (I am more-or-less finished with one now), and one of the ways I frame it is the following: You know how you've take a course before where the professor was just surprisingly aw

As is mentioned in this thread, Linear Algebra Done Right is a solid textbook for learning linear algebra. I might start there =).

This. There's always more you might want to learn, but when people talk about these basics, it's really just being super focused in 4 or so classes, not a whole ivy league undergrad curriculum in math. probability & stats, mul

This sounds pretty intriguing, but I'm not sure if professors actually do this... Has anyone had a professor that tried something like this?

Someone linked to this in a recent thread on philips colluding over something else. =(. Sad.

I don't see why that fixes the issues I brought up --- if anything, I mention that it really isn't a good way to figure it out.

I didn't mean to use the term that way, just that different textbooks can be more effective than others.

I have to admit that I have often disagreed with others over what textbooks are best, but I think that's natural. For one, you often start a field with a specific book. If you pour a lot of time into that book, you often feel more atta

As a PhD in experimental physics, I totally agree. That said, I still think they have room in making it a shorter length PhD. Not 3 years, but there are several groups where less than 6 years is rare, but 6-7 is normal.

Why did people feel guilty to read papers? Seems like a strange reason to drop out. I know many more people who dropped out because of poor management than those that didn't seem to be good at it.

I am a little late to reply, but I wanted to anyway from my experience as a Harvard physics PhD that is choosing to leave academia: Many PhD programs are their own bubble, and many students don't seriously consider outside opportunitie

This. If I remember right, RAM hasn't changed much in performance between LPDDR3 and DDR4.
