I was denied the vaccine by my healthcare provider as a man in my mid-20s. Their reasoning being that I was likely already exposed. It may have been true, but would still have liked to get the vaccine since it covers many multiple strains.

It also seems, really low? A stack of bills is roughly 0.5 inches. Assuming a 12-ft joist-to-joist spacing, that's 12 feet per floor \times 12 inches per foot \times 2 stacks per inch = 288 stacks per floor = $2.88M per floor since a s

Not sure about this one in specific but assuming most of the time the system is idle at ~200W, you’d be looking at ~$25/mo for most states in the US. Peak draw could probably be 2kW for a beefy system so electricity costs could really

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get into this so I started self-studying probability theory (with measure theory) [0] as a bridge to start in on stochastic calculus [1] I think the hardest part of self-studying anything that has some

Totally, it's going to take a minute to get it all working. On a positive note, they recently got some sponsorship from Modal [0], who is supplying GPUs for CI/CD so they should be able to expand their hardware coverage.

I see this a lot as someone that came from a solidly middle-class background (parents were a teacher and secretary) and went to a "highly-ranked" university with plenty of upper-middle or upper class students. I work in the same j

I'm trying to download my 1099 forms from TreasuryDirect and it's coming back as unavailable. Probably unrelated to everything going on now, but the fact I thought that it could be related for a second is crazy. >>> Treas

I know a similar number but they were "acquihired" to essentially return money to investors and get the founders promotions at their former companies. So an exit on paper even if it's not necessarily so in practice.

We're saying the same thing, really. Basically until AWS/GCP/Azure have minimal egress fees there is no way we can switch over to a different storage provider. They obviously know this so it will probably never happen.

Working at a startup that deals in large data (our storage is measured in PB), egress is the only thing thing that matters if we're going to choose a new storage provider. And an automated class management system a la S3 or GCS.

I'm amazed of the amount of great resources available to students today to learn complex topics. I'm not even that old (late 30s) but the only real resources available when I was in school were other textbooks. There were some mat

When I was in grad school (mid-20s) I was consulted not to get it. NowI'm pretty sure any adult with insurance can get it through any pharmacy that does vaccines. I think the actuarial tables must have changed or the cost of the vaccin

They publish peer-reviewed articles in decent-quality publications. How you judge the latter is tougher and very domain specific, but each field usually has 1-2 "target" journals where the best work goes, and another 2-3 "sec

I saw this anecdotally in grad school. Despite coming from a solidly middle class family I was definitely on the poorer side of my colleagues at the R1 I attended. You also see it in pretty much any field that confers status in exchange for

In the early days of COVID, before we knew anything, I would go for runs outside and wear a mask (N95). I live in a densely populated city so this seemed like the appropriate thing to do. While it was not pleasant, at no point did I start h

Why would they buy 10-year bonds when their depositors are startups, many of whom won't exist in 10 years? Seems like shorter-term T-bills would have been more appropriate, but I know next to nothing about finance.

I have friends that live in Utrecht and it's great. The biggest adjustment for an American, I think, would be getting used to the smaller house sizes. It shifts how you see and value "stuff".
