a hotpot chain in the US. I don't do it bc I'm too poor. Americans don't get enough veggies, they love meat, and they love big quantities of food for cheap. The hotpot place next to me has a line out the door for 2 hours and can't keep up. I wish there were more of them around. Plus, all you need is raw, uncooked veg/meat and electrical outlets for pots. Little startup cost besides building.

Secondly, an Indian version of chipotle. there is one in Montreal that is great and would prob thrive in US.

Third, Super Giant games needs to make sequels to Hades for different religions and areas. An Aztec or Egyptian spinoff game would be dope.

it will, once the over leveraged have covered their margin calls.

there is a reason people are still calling for the $400k price soon

this is actually our company/startup for the ChemE type companies.

it is just hard to find software/data science people interested in manufacturing/engineering

something not noted, i want software that tells people theyre driving slow in the left lane and need to move over. People, including me speed, and having to swerve around slow drivers in the left lane increases the risk of driving.

we have "lane assist" which is great, but take it one step further to identify drivers in the wrong lane.

uh no. I'm a food engineer for one of the largest manufacturers in America and there isn't any pressure from corporate to just pass lines that might be dangerous.

the problem is in testing and just how statistically unfeasible it is. case in point, we had a line that passed every QA test but we would still get back 1 product every now and then from a customer with spoilage. we'd test thousands of samples each year and they're all fine but still something was the problem. on top of that, we had "nearly identical" lines that never had any problem.

luckily we found the problem in the line and how to push the failures alway the way down to zero for little cost instead of corporate wanting to pay $10 million to fix it.

so no, corporate isn't some boogy man.

love my pixel 3a xl. big screen, cheap, no stupid notch/hole punch, and runs great. I never understood what people have trouble with on Android. all my banking, chatting, food, and travel apps work fine. also, has a headphone jack and uses usb-c!

my biggest complaint with smartphones these days is front facing camera makes no sense. put mini screen on back with back camera for selfies. if people want face unlock, a low quality, underscreen front facing camera should be suffient but to me, finger unlock on back is superior experience.

/r/chonkers is the holy grail of reddit. I was sad it took me 10 years to find that subreddit

just bought one with a PC from falcon northwest. Not sure about buying it standalone but they sell them with their PCs

kind of weird and offensive to put a transgender slur on here.

just as a data point to this. I worked for a PepsiCo, massive company. The position requires a PhD and you have to live in metro NYC, pay was only 80k.

So not just professors, but a lot of positions that "require" a PhD pay poverty wages when someone has given up any kind of earnings for 5-6 years developing skills getting a PhD.

There is a big problem with east coast jobs (mid-atlantic to NYC) from "older" companies that require tech experience and a PhD but do not want to pay accordingly because theyre stuck in an 80s mindset.

I'm "obese" my medical standards but wear a size men's medium with a 34 waist simply because I workout a lot. BMI is a terrible estimator for anyone that lifts heavy weights. I can still run a mile in under 8 minutes too.

I'm always shocked the medical community still uses BMI in 2022.

I do modeling in the sense of computational fluid Dynamics (cfd) or finite element analysis (fea) or just basic physics-based models and my background is in chemical and mechanical engineering.

if you want to get into the field doing it though, you'll ideally need a PhD. It takes a lot of time to understand all the nuances of how to model a system and reading and practicing are the best ways.

If you don't want to do a PhD, the best way to break into the field in industry is develop your own EASY TO USE open source copy cat of the commerical software. By easy to use I mean no command line, no OS or hardware dependent implementations (best to assume all users are on windows), and doesn't rely heavily on any programming.

Most people doing modeling in industry have backgrounds in engineering, math, or physics, not software. Most of us code but it heavily varies.

maybe stop supporting apple's exploitive practices then and not buy their products. At this point, they're second tier on phones and laptops and dead last in desktop PC. I guess they're still first in watch and earbuds but that isn't saying much.

this is the same recipe as 20 years ago. I actually used to work on redesigning the formulation and process for strawberry fillings. Nothing changed except your taste buds.

at least 8 cores, Nvidia GPU, at least 1 tb of storage, the bigger the better as long as the power brick isn't too big. I don't care about battery life since I regularly max out cpu/GPU and will eat through any battery.

I don't care about portability since I lift.

if you crunch the numbers on how much solar (desertec has a fun graphic on this for the interested) and wind power we could produce if politicians actually cared about fighting climate change, there is nearly an infinite supply of power for humanity.

This isnt even including fossil fuels, nuclear/fusion, biomass/trash, and hydro.

cant montenegro just kick them out and not pay? I mean, what's china going to do, invade them? It seems the most they could do is cut them off trade or something.

I'm asking seriously.

why is food science in quotes? you wouldnt put physics course in quotes. As someone that works as an engineer in the food industry, our work is just as rigorous as other fields. When working with vendors that support different domains, they always get excited to work with us since we have some of the craziest and most challenging problems that are not straight forward. While the work we do may not be critical to saving the world and solving some critical problem, it does make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

how is adoption? Did you do domestically or international? Any sage advice?

I personally rather adopt than have my own kids so I'm just curious.

I strongly disagree. A lot of R&D groups at major companies require them since the work is so specialized and you won't be learning that material in udnergrad.

In the teams I've worked, every member had a PhD, our manager had a PhD, their director/VP had a PhD... everyone up until the C-suits.

It was necessary and expected.

So I think it really depends on your field.

great idea, remove the thumbnails, they serve no purpose. If you want a thumbnail, make it topic related. So like a politics/legislation thumbnail, new product thumbnail, etc that way it is easy to determine what the story relates too. I guess it'd be equivalent to flair on reddit

probably because of its relationship to nazism

i hate using NYC subway. it is rarely.clear which train im getting on and where im going compared to say london, where i always know, very clearly. nyc assumes i know all the boroughs and train numbers while london shows you a huge map per train with where youre going.

please do not work for pepsi. they do not appreciate talent. i have a company award from the ceo Ramon and was paid s&$t. they do not care about their people. i worked there for almost 4 years, literally saving them 100s of millions with process engineering inventions and was paid like an intern. so happy i left. i saw coworkers get passed up for someone outside the org. do not work for pepsi.

i am so happy for this as i am currently planning a move to the bay area for a new job. happy to see a market correction

grad salaries should be 50-60k at this point and post doc should be 90-100k. right now theyre too low and exploitive. it is just a bad, abusive system right now. companies are now getting in on the post-doc scheme to in order to hire cheap phds with no guarantee of hiring after it is done.

i told my previous employer, of they continue the post doc program (i was the guinea pig) ill quit. the title and salary were terrible. everyone outside my group was horrified and telling me to leave and get a better job it was that bad.

two-pizza teams makes no sense. I eat 2 pizzas myself, so is every individual a team at a company?

They do non partisan research for the government. They are meant to give them the info to make decisions. They're business is primarily run on govt dollars
