Not a doctor, i spent 7 years on post secondary education and i barely raked in a 5 figure student debt to pay off at ultra low interest.

I had a friend studying to become a doctor. Because of that, banks allowed him to take on huge debts and he bought a brand new fully equipped wrangler. No wonder doctors have 6 figures debt if that's what banks allow them to take... I knew someone else in dentistry who bought a BMW.

Knowing that will make money, they take on more debt. Then they ask to raise salaries... It's a system that attracts greedy people, the type that will move out of their home country just to make now money.

For me, it would take about 4 times my current salary to move away, because all my family and friends are here.

In fact Alberta researchers have recommended a tougher traffic light system for geothermal projects than the one currently regulating fracking. It would trigger a major evaluation of operations when 1.5 magnitudes occur and shut down the operation at 3.5 magnitude with the goal of keeping all tremors at low magnitude.

When it's not oil-related, regulations are tougher?

Framing it as an environmental problem always implicitly assumed that people understood we need a good environment to be healthy...

People complain about bonfire restrictions in my city, but when I show my air quality sensor data and the effect it has on breathing and sports performance, they tend to be more open minded.

The council also found that he had violated ethics rules by changing the date of a neighbour’s court appearance for a traffic ticket so he could hear the case — and acquit her — before he retired.

To me that's the more important issue... It can be hard to measure time accurately, but there's no excuse for twisting the system to prevent your friend from facing justice!

Do bald eagles eat raccoons? I heard this food source is plentiful in Toronto!

On DST, it's well agreed with my job that I come in an hour later (and end an hour later as well).

I change my clock, but I also change my alarm so I end up waking up at the same UTC time.

It's easier to stay up late in the summer if I start work an hour later as well!

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can't even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations... He's given up on getting his design certified.

If i wanted to jump through complicated hoops, I'd try paid streaming services!

I have not seen a total one since i was a small kid, so I can't really say... Totality will have these things last longer, but I'm sure there is no clear-cut difference.

Here's a couple of differences: With totality, the stars become visible again. The darkness is such that air temperature drops like at sunset. Birds stop signing, and insects start chirping. Also, i think you can see the sun's corona. While the sun is totally blocked, you can look at it with naked eyes.

I'm not sure how much of this occurs with a 95% eclipse... I would encourage anyone to go to the nearest place to see totality. I will personally visit family living 2 hours drive away to be in the totality zone.

These reports tend to focus on measuring the outcome, because that's the measurable KPI.

It leaves as an exercise to the reader to guess the cause, and your comment shows exactly what i believed for years. "There is an inequality of outcome because people typically act differently".

I now realize that the gender pay gap is just the outcome of bias in the workplace... Whether conscious or inconscious. We must recognize them and actively try to counteract their effects of we want to reduce the gender pay gap. Something often criticized as "reversed sexism".

I'm a simple Hamming guy but will go Dolph-Chebyshev when things get serious.

Hehe, FFT stands for fast Fourier transform, a computational algorithm that approximates Fourier transforms in an efficient way. It's used in digital signal processing.

This doctor is the best

Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha

Instead of gold versions, rich people will get inconel-pannel cybertrucks!

Is it weird to feel that it is still an improvement over the last big software project we heard about? (Phoenix)

Oh... All this time i thought they were talking about "the internet", trying to ask me the password to access my ISP's IP routing tables! 😯

It makes so much sense now that i think about it... They were confused when i replied that i didn't know what was the password to the internet!

As non-US person, we watched the Superbowl in anguish, fearing a win for SF would directly lead to a Trump win and a destruction of the current world order!

Here we go again... The web, which is what most people think about when saying "internet", is an European invention.

So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that "web 2.0" was invented by American companies.

Internet is 70% American?
