I don't think that the comment above was speaking in hard and fast rules. They were more making the point that men and women may generally have different interests and that those interests will impact career choices. There wasn't

Not to undercut your point too much, but no one comes out of university learning about the latest and greatest tech unless they went to a graduate program where they did research in tech. They may have played around with it more on their ow

This is like saying that access to newspapers is a privilege and not a right. What use is free speech if there is no common medium on which to distribute it? This is another case of people blaming the tool instead of the people that are doi

This is really cool! I hope that you can rise above the comments of the "this isn't good enough" or "zero carbon or bust" crowd. This type of innovation is what we need to move the needle in a realistic manner and t

You can build user defined functions in Excel with VBA as well as with Python through something like xlwings. One of the issues that I ran into with xlwings (or any third party integration into the Office suite) is portability between users

This is really good advice. With all the different places you can play the same note on guitar, it makes it a little more difficult to visualize. The one note to one key ratio can help to make things like chord structures and inversions mak

Keurig and DPSG already did this. There isn't any reason to block this...

Thermal properties of the chip and any issues arising from those are pieces that the engineers should have sussed out in the beginning though. If I don't put a heatsink and fan on my desktop CPU, then is that Intel's fault? Of cou

That isn't in the cards for most people considering you can buy laptops for a fraction of the price and also that most people are getting Windows PC's from their employer

Price elasticity of demand IIRC. Demand functions aren't generally straight like the illustrative graphs used in intro classes. What you end up with is easy replacement with similar goods. Being able to differentiate goods in food-serv

I've seen some studies on this, but I (personally) haven't run across many that show a significant difference in isocaloric diets where carbohydrates are replaced calorie for calorie with fats. If it is swapped with a mix of prote

I've seen keto work great for a lot of people. Generally, they have been those that tended to overeat on carbs and junk foods like chips, soda, pizza, etc. The mechanism at the end of the day is still caloric restriction that leads to

It does a good enough job at modeling reality that we can make decent predictions with it. While the details of CICO may be more complicated, for someone who is obviously out of shape, the advice of "Eat some extra protein and make sur

One problem with those is that they are easy to capture fake/inaccurate data. Couple that with non-running exercise activities and you have an even more difficult equation to solve for.

Regardless, a social media profile displays the things that you value - or at least that you claim to value. Social media tends to be a highlight reel for many younger people, so having insight into what they view as "highlights"

I think I remember some password managers that have similar features alerting if a site that you have an account with was breached. There has to be some sort of external accountability or pressure to make these organizations move the needle

It certainly seems like FB and some credit bureaus are much more fast and loose with the data they collect when compared with Google/Amazon/MSFT

I get the differentiation between the city and it's residents. My comments were more in response to the overall financial benefit of the city and that they aren't just "giving away" money that can be used elsewhere. Like

I believe the poster above was mentioning more those that are below median income or certainly those closer to poverty levels. There are a lot of benefit programs that take number of dependents into account so if you income is remaining the

No one anywhere else gets to count hours being educated as hours worked, so that isn't a fair comparison. Also, if you were to pay for the degree out of pocket, then you are looking at something in the realm of $40-50k / year. Tha

Not sure... the poster didn't differentiate, so I could only assume they meant speaking Standard English with an accent.

The article isn't discussing accents, but rather differences in vocabulary and grammar between two dialects. There is a difference "He isn't going to do anything about it" with an accent and saying "He ain't go

The moral issue isn't one of technical competence, but rather of having the integrity to perform the appropriate due diligence required of a company handling such sensitive information. No security professional is going to argue that y

If you consider top-tier fast food chains have an average gross revenue > ~$2M and profits ~$100K, then that means The vast majority of that $2M is being dumped back into the economy in the form of purchasing supplies, equipment, and lab
