Recovering academic now in public safety. You'll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
PRE-Cambrian my dude. The Cambrian explosion of life is associated with conventional body plans.
Because it puts stuff there when I don't want it. I work in locations without internet access (quelle horreur!) and I want access to my files. Also there is a cloud desktop and a local desktop. Cloud downloads file and a local downloads file. I don't want any cloud and I don't want to pay starlink to get to files I could carry with me.
Friday Night
I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.
Shoes are sized for socks.
So MGOW for women.
A tablet is a pad of paper that's glued on one edge. You can flip the sheets or tear them out. The full name for a binder is a "loose leaf binder". Because it's designed to bind...loose sheets!
People weren't there for the show. At least not the one on the screen.
Fantastic avatar!
Sorry I insta-deleted because I realized I wasn't answering the question but it looks like it still slipped through.
I wasn't answering the question because I don't know. I'm aware that imaginary numbers play a major role in circuit math, but I also need an expert to ELI5.
Use the Pythagorean theorem: the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares for the other two sides. 1x1=1. ixi=-1. 1+(-1)=0.
I'm not watching this. Add some value and summarize it when you post.
I am a professor. I'm fine with choosing to consume shorter media - I read very few novels any more either. I think the point that the students appear unable to read long form. It actually matches up with my own experience where incoming students have never had to write long form either.
I drive a 2010 Acura MDX. When I bought it, it was one the largest SUVs in the market. When I bought it people thought it was ridiculous. Jump to today. It's midsize. I can't even find it parking lots as it's dwarfed by every truck and SUV around. Including what used to be economy and entry level vehicles. I have crossbars on it for my kayak to boot.
So my wife thinks we're getting shelled tonight.
She doesn't really watch hockey so I don't know what her opinion is worth. But she wanted to do Leafs Lucky Guess with me this morning. Evidently we are going to lose 16-1 or something.
Do audits actually matter?
The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?
Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.
Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.
What is the biggest corporate heel turn that you know?
I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.
The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?
Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor?
I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.
I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.
Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.
The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
