Hey thanks for the reply! I have a couple questions that I wasn't able to find on WGU website:
* What role does the mentor serve? Is it more like an advisor or teacher that can help you with course content?
* How long are you allowed to meet with your mentor and how often?
* How do you learn the material are there lectures or do you have to google most things?
* How difficult is it to get 12 credit hours how much time per day does it require?
There are a few differences, but broadly MatWeb is more useful for manufacturing and has a broader range of materials available (including plastics, extensive metallic alloys, etc.) and real world properties. These are materials you might purchase and use today.

In contrast, the Materials Project are computed predicted information on inorganic crystals (typically, ideal, on-stochiometric crystals), that might be used for many different device applications like solar, optoelectronics, batteries, etc. Many of these crystals will not be available to purchase and will need to be grown in a laboratory, and Materials Project is therefore much more focused towards active research into new materials.
Agreed. Pyramid schemes usually do quite well enough by just relying on word of mouth.

How is "sometimes good things happen" relevant in the least? I can flip it that way too.

The "Mendon, Missouri" story had as its theme that small town/rural America pulls together. There's nuance to that, and it's a mistake to ignore the nuance. The Skidmore story illustrates that, and it took place in the same rural NW Missouri millieu.
In my experience, object oriented view systems like Cocoa (UIKit or AppKit) work great for small teams with deep domain knowledge of their code base. However, they constantly require refactoring as teams grow and systems become more complex. This leads to overly complex UI code over time that become brittle.

UI through composition, building UI through assembling components from other components, has done away with those issues. The enforced encapsulation is frustrating that I agree is a trade off, but refactors become simple find and replace to point to new components instead of having to rewrite entire chunks of previously working code.
I think there is some net utility cryptocurrency provides as a means of payment, but the cryptocurrency "community" has largely veered away from that narrative since bitcoin and others have butted heads with their transaction volume issues.

And no real cryptobro was able to convince me with good argument s otherwise.

Of course the share prices General looked weird that's why I didn't invest last time I wanted to.

Another common feature of a default app that Apple lacks is having multiple timers on the iPhone clock app. Most often used by my partner when cooking and there are a couple things going that need different times. This is a feature in my Pixel and I just can't understand what reason there is to not include it.

That said though, this is a fantastic work around, I love seeing clever uses of tools to make them do things their creators (probably) didn't necessarily intend.

We have a mechanism for upload of experimental data (MPContribs[0]), that can then be linked back to the Materials Project's "material detail pages" for a given material. This also then provides a public API for bulk download of this data. We hope this will help make relevant experimental data more discoverable.

CA bay area, we usually buy chicken for $1.50-2 per lb. That's 50c per sandwich, granted it is plain, not breaded. Just picked up several tri-tips for 3.88 per lb. Buns 8 for $3

1/4 lb tri tip is a great sandwich for about $1.5

We buy chicken under $2, pork under $3, and beef under $4.

As a result, many vegetables are more expensive per lb.
I've pointed this out before but after the 2016 election after the Democrats lost their dangerous gamble to put the wife of a previous president in the Whitehouse. I looked at the hyper local results.

When my grandmother was in her 20's, her hair turned white and she started losing weight. Convinced it was psychosomatic, the doctors at the time gave her 10 rounds of electroshock therapy. Later it was discovered that she had Addison's disease, an autoimmune condition. All she needed was some medication.

So, let's say I'm skeptical when it comes to the "mind body connection".

Yes, this is almost exclusively a computational resource, with the exception of experimental data contributed by third parties. Most of our compute comes from the lovely people at NERSC[0].

All our predictions are benchmarked against experimental data wherever possible, but it's always a balancing act between things that can be calculated reliably and at scale, and the latest-and-greatest methods which give the most accurate predictions.

As far as I know (and the linked article doesn't state otherwise), they only scan files that you upload to their servers (as they should). Apple was scanning local files.
I meant a remake of Mr. & Mrs Smith; of Twins, of "Stop or my mom will shoot"... basically of everything that turned a profit, however meager.
Moreover, those remakes will be oblivious to what made the original a success. E.g., we'd get Dave Chapelle offered a Seinfeld show, much in that style, without a view to why it was (considered) funny back then, nor with tailoring it to Chapelle.

Put differently: we'd be inundated with much worse schlock than we get now.

I think it's reasonably skeptical. There is a balance here.

I like crypto and even I am rooting for the crash. There is simply too much hype and investment in useless projects, it distracts from the actually useful crypto projects, and is generally bad for the development of cryptocurrency as a whole

It's more likely that on quiet nights/days it's simply not cost effective to open. During a weekday a small pub might literally have one or two customers. They're traditionally owner-operated for a reason, and the reason is because the margins don't allow for staff.

Seriously, though. I love Atlanta. But OP's implication that MGT's district lacks a "culture" is exactly the sort of rhetoric that got her elected. That sort of talk makes people mad and justifiably so.
> Also, a continent that makes < 1.5 children/woman is not a going concern so no one has ever taken them seriously.

So much wrong with that sentence.

The birth rate went that low (and lower!) but has been going up recently[0]. But even if total population was halving every generation, that’s only a concern if it’s sustained for many generations, and population forecasting (especially this simplistic) has never been particularly accurate over such periods.

Then there’s the second half. Europe has been vastly important worldwide from roughly the age of exploration to the end of WW2, and even then only stopped being temporarily because of active efforts by both of the two superpowers — who, despite arms reduction treaties, still have enough nukes each to destroy all settlements worldwide with populations over 150,000 [1] — and yet despite that the EU (less than the whole of Europe) has close to the same GDP (18 T) [2] as China (20 T) [3] and the USA (25 T) [3].

> inhibiting some of your brain's filtering mechanisms to see phenomena and form connections that would normally be filtered out.

I think it's more like inhibiting some of the functioning of your brain by clogging a type of receptor, so your sensations are severely distorted and you have to work around the damage by processing input using other pathways.
Also bars got shitty prices these days. Most people pregame before they actually go out so they buy less there bc its too fucking expensive to get drunk out. Seems like prices at bars go up even faster than prices for alcohol retail.
> Hate to break it to you but Trump lost the popular vote

You are aware that the competition is for the most electoral college seats. I am fairly certain that the Democrats were aware of this for the election as well. Yet armed with this knowledege they still lost to the worst run campaign in a century fronted by an actual clown.

> Is your electoral system fair if it is this gerrymandered?

I mean, the people elected to office litterally promised to gerrymander. If the people elect someone who brings in proportional representation will you have a problem with that?

> Furthermore, most states and districts are “safe” for one of the two main parties.

Hang on, those "safe" districts are "safe" because an overwhelming majority of people vote for the party that wins... That is democracy! Are you arguing for or against democracy?

> No party that openly tries to pack a court against the will of the people should get a single vote from anyone who cares about freedom

Litteral campaign promise, and people voted for it in numbers, it is the will of the people.

> It is not hyperbolic to warn Americans of the extreme danger their democracy is in

The problem is democracy itself. People are voting for shitty hacky demi-gods selling them a used car that runs on snake oil.

Every side of every agenda has become infected with this horrible disease, but what is happening is the logical conclusion of what happens when you combine democracy with an erosion of education. It didnt start this year or with trump etc. It has been happening for decades.

The population is now so poorly equiped to navigate the most basic of tasks that a foreign power can swing an election by spending $100,000 on some facebook ads.
I would agree with your comment, but I think it's fair to ask this question. Discovering new materials can have many unintended consequences, especially if they contain elements that are not earth abundant or have high costs (environmental, personal) associated with their extraction.
> Germany has recorded its first monthly trade deficit [€1bn] since 1991 [the year of reunification] amid soaring inflation and supply chain disruption weighing on the country’s industrial base.

Then from Wikipedia:

> In 2016, Germany recorded the highest trade surplus in the world, worth $310 billion. ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Germany

So it's not just the magnitude of the trade balance (negative) but the velocity (sharply downward) that should get attention.

The US has run persistent trade deficits (now ~ $50 billion) for years. This brought cheap goods but eviscerated the manufacturing base. You could call it a tradeoff. What the US has going for it though is: (a) the ability to print its own money; (b) the ability to print the world's reserve currency; and (c) the demographics to support a consumption-led economy.

Germany has none of these things going for it. The situation is not sustainable. The article implies that the change is not structural (increased competition from elsewhere, for example), but if it is things could get weird real fast.

Good point. Cache locality is another important reason that I should have mentioned. I have not run tests, but it may possibly be the most important reason of them all.

In many linked data structures you can mitigate a lot of this problem. For example, in the past I have used contiguous arrays where I would allocate linked elements, then I would try to exploit how the elements are produced to get them placed one after another, if possible.

When data is produced randomly you can try to create "buckets", where each bucket is backed by an array and attempts to keep consecutive elements relatively close to each other. You could then try to rewrite those buckets in a way that gets amortised. Or you can just straight write it as if it was an array of sorted linked list elements where on each delete or insert you have to move some of the elements, but you only need to reorganise one bucket and not others.

All a bit cumbersome and at the end of it you are still wasting at least half of the cache on pointers.

Compared to my father's generation most women now work and men and more involved with the family, a hangover Saturday/Sunday morning doesn't work. Cost, mortgage/childcare require two salaries, hard to justify a large cost of pub sources alcohol. The cost of property, saving for a deposit creates a habit of no longer going to the pub. We no longer need to go to a social place toget most of our local news or gossip, Facebook/WhatsApp have filled the gap. Every generation seems to be more health focused than the previous.
