I respect that. I don't know if I have a specific suggestion on how you can run leaner, but look for ways to sell/trade what few assets you control for cash. When I was trying to learn to code, I was an undergrad with literally n

I'm interested in this. Would you have a way for me to pipe you lots of data? Like way bigger than a CSV file upload?

This study adds a little more color than the Dice study (which has been reposted from multiple sources at least 3 times now). If you adjust for the same basic factors as the Dice study but also factor in location and some cost of living fac

I'm looking for research on quantum encryption (which is only briefly mentioned at the end of the article). Is anyone aware of work being done for this, specifically how the quantum keys would be stored?

Right now the write speed for this is 1.6MB/s, which is starting to get pretty good for long term storage. Beats DNA's current state of the art in both speed and durability, although capacity is still quite small by comparison. Pr

Yes, I think this visualization would be FAR more helpful if the weighted lines were adjusted by the relative population in each group. Or at the very least make each group a different sized bubble so you aren't surprised when so many

This is one of the interesting connections on the chart. My theory (being an ex-welder as well as a dancer) is that both of these are strongly one-gender dominated professions - almost all my welding friends were male and almost all my dan

Do you mean cash free as in no paper money and coins, or do you mean cash free like super slick trading algorithms in a stunning shared economy that really requires no form of money at all?

Or maybe it's just that throwing more money at Facebook won't make it any faster or better at doing good. It's quite possible the Zuck really does think Facebook is the best way to have an impact, but more money won't i

The difference between the amount and a number is exactly what I'm afraid negative numbers misrepresent. Real and imaginary number sets are the heart of the point (and I think my high school calc - if I can remember that many years ago

This is very interesting - thanks for the reply and link. I'll dive into Becher and Figueria.

Yes this is exactly right: "The physical intepretation of a negative number is the quantified absence of a unit." In the physical world, the absence of a unit just means the perspective doesn't include whatever it is that i

I was actually using the terms "real" and "imaginary" non-colloquially to denote real and complex numbers (5, -1, pi, e, -1^-2, etc.). It's true that nonnegative numbers are just abstract ideas that we come up with

Yes, this makes sense. If this is the case though, then aren't there some obvious problems with how we think of dimensions (at least the first three or four anyway)? It seems like creating space to fill the "voids" between p

It was my understanding that this is true from our perspective in time right now, but the Big Crunch could still be plausible if the universe turns out to be young enough (which it seems like it is) that not all the fusion fuel has been exh

I've also had a long-time question around this point. I've asked various university physics professors, and they all stutter and disagree (which means either we really don't know or I'm going to all the wrong universitie
