I think its just the nature of innovation. It takes 1/4 the effort to copy as to create new and this is true in marketing as well as engineering. Call it the second mover advantage, where someone else has already paid the cost of inn

I don't want to be too combative because you do have a point that, especially with kids, its hard to not live paycheck to paycheck. But if you start early all you have to do is bust your butt and live cheaply for a couple of years and

If you had a million you could also get a loan with interest less than "risk free" assets. E.g. The stock market makes 7-10% but you can get a loan for 1-3%. So 1.5x your returns then become 12-16%. Perhaps you can invest in l

And the junior will learn which things to learn. I certainly think you should allow juniors to code review senior coders work if for nothing more than mentoring, but I am sensitive as to why an overloaded senior would balk at the idea.

Yep and how to construct, the naturals from set theory, the integers from the naturals, the rationals from the integers and the reals from the rational. I've forgotten the details at this point, but I remember the conclusions.

But you can define multiplication based on abstracting repeated addition. That how we did it my analysis class, although I forget some of the details. So if you say multiplication is repeated addition, it really isn't a lie.

I think the issue is that many of us are poor communicators (myself being number 1) so we say nothing I can do will help you instead of I can't teach linear algebra, numerical analysis and do the code review in an hour. Therefore putt

You assume that Apple is telling the truth. The cynic in me thinks that they narrowed the definition of tracking and follow in a legal sense but not in the way we would think of it. Or they are outright lying. It is also possible that i

I would saw that copy.ai is a low but not zero stakes application. It develops a draft of copy for ads, landing pages etc. which you can review before taking live.

I am familiar with it in the aerospace industry. Digital Twin implies a higher degree of fidelity in terms of importing data from sensors and modeling of physics than just model or simulation might apply, even though it is a model and simu

They also cap profits based on the original bid size. So you bid 20 million for the F35 program you get 1.5 million profit. When you overrun the 20 million to 30 million you still only get 1.5 million "profit". Typically you als

I am making a comment just so I will see the project later. Swamped at work but in a week when I have some free time... I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas with presents under the tree.

There were no major causes it was a systemetic failure across all sectors due to nothing being winterized. Gas failed, coal failed, wind failed, solar failed, the grid failed. Its politics to point only at gas or only at renewables, it wa

Very few people articulate the upside of the data sharing well. And that is the internet allows people to connect with the long tail customers. All of a sudden I can make friends with other worm farmers in the world. Not only that, but

Well the feedback loop is much faster with a solution manual than a professor. I agree there is a line between leveraging the solution manual to teach yourself more quickly and just copying the solution. My quantum mechanics professor wou

Is it really cheating. If the goal is to learn the material using someone else's solution is incredibly helpful and can expedite the learning process. If there is a process to master a skill in 20 hours and another way to master it i

One of the traps of minimum wage jobs is that they take up so much energy and time that it makes it difficult to go do things which improve your life (especially if you have a young family). Additionally, many give you unpredictable, infle

There is an important point about reasoning here which is worth stating explicitly. You can reason perfectly about the things you have thought of and know, but they things you didn't think of and don't know might still change the

I don't remember, the thing which really helped me click at least the bayesian interpretation was if we have A --> B and B, then A is more plausible and probability reasoning is a way to quantify how more plausible A is now that we

Check out the first chapter of Jayne's probability theory. It's the clearest take down of the frequentist interpretations that you have and introduction to the Bayesian interpretation. http://www.med.mcgill.ca/epi
