Thank you, I appreciate it

Aetna seems to be hit or miss here in California. My brother had it and it was great for him. For me, it doesn't compare to Kaiser

Have had both employer provided Kaiser and Aetna. Aetna was awful while Kaiser was great. Aetna made us jump through all kinds of hoops to get a simple prescription (not pain meds) while it was only a quick phone call with Kaiser. In fact, while in great pain we had to wait for over 8 hours with Aetna to even talk with someone before we gave up and went to GoodRx and got the help we needed nearly instantly. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I have to say there's a wide discrepancy between employer provided health insurance. I had ACA and it was actually really good! No or low copay (less than $10) and was always able to get ahold of someone when I needed it.

Do you have a link to the YouTube lectures? I'm taking a course and this is one of the books that we're using

Unless you're in Northeast LA and then you have police helicopters flying over head at nearly the same time every day for years

I've asked it to give me a confidence rating for its replies to my questions but it states that it can't give one

I know someone who had a seizure disorder and worked as a registered nurse. There's plenty of opportunities

LTSpice is pretty great. I used it in undergrad to design and simulate a single block of CMOS memory. It was a little tough getting going, but once I figured things out it was a great experience.

This is pretty neat and sobering. After I put it in my birth date, I got one value then it dropped nearly 8 years after I put in the correct sex and country of birth

Nearly the same for me. Continuous controls was a requirement for graduating with my BSEE. I don't believe that it was required for the MEs.

WSL 2 is the only thing keeping me from dual booting Linux on my Windows 10 machine. I want to dual boot, but it can be quite a pain to get it going

A great introduction to circuits is Grob's Basic Electronics[0]. I used at a community collge intro to circuits course and it (and the course) gave me a good headstart for when I eventually transferred to a four year university.

If you have an Android device, Fritter is a pretty good Twitter client. You can read threads and follow accounts without having an account. It's a little buggy sometimes, but overall it's pretty good.

I know a business owner who doesn't like to do work for lawyers. The justification is that they're more capable of suing him (based on his previous experience)

This is really cool and I like the Tony Iommi take too. Did you pick the name because Iommi's accident and instrument align similarly with Django Reinhardt's?

Isn't that kind of how it worked out with Jack Parsons?

Back in undergrad, I used LTSpice to simulate and design a single unit of memory, I believe at the nanometer scale. It certainly has its quirks and can be frustrating to use, but I was one of the few people who were actually able to complete the project and get an A. It was actually quite fun.

That sounds awesome. You guys hiring?

What is the point of doing something like this here? Supposedly on a site like reddit people do this to increase karma and then can sell their account or whatever, but I don't see much of a point in doing that here.

A really great book about dreaming and inducing lucid dreams is "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Dr. Stephen LaBerge[0]. It goes through relaxation techniques, improving dream recall, and eventually how to induce lucid dreams. It's quite a process and takes some work, but I was able to use his methods to induce lucid dreams and it's quite a powerful experience.

Sounds like a Cardassian court

12 units was the sweet spot for me. I was able to digest and master the material because I had the chance to put in the necessary work to truly understand the material and still have a life outside of school. I decided to take more classes (21 units or 7 or 8 classes) and although I was still able to get very good grades (graduated with about 3.8/4.0), I wasn't able to master the material and I had no life outside of school.

This is also why I increased the number of units that I was taking.

What about machine learning for trading didn't you like?

This is anecdotal, but this is the opposite of my experience. I attended a community college in Los Angeles and its math and science courses were very rigorous. I had no trouble keeping up when I eventually transferred to a CSU (California State University).

I wish that audiobooks worked for me, but I just can't pay attention to them. I tried listening to one on a long car trip and I couldn't pay attention for more than a few minutes.

This is my experience with OMSCS as well, although I'm only four classes in. My background is in electrical engineering and it hasn't been too challenging (yet) for me to catch up on the CS stuff (although I did take several CS courses at community colleges to help fill in some gaps before enrolling and I've been programming for over years now).

If you already have a bachelor's degree, then Georgia Tech's OMSCS is a good option for a CS master's. The tuition is fairly low, especially if you take multiple courses per term (about $10k to $12k, I believe) and it's basically at your own pace
