I work with many engineers who became blind in a variety of ways. If you provide your email address, I can introduce you to them. Here is my temporary email (docesar172 at lagsixtome dot com) if you do not want your contact to be published.

"Information tends to grow exponentially overtime. " Maybe true. However, the opportunity cost of playing the waiting game also tends to follow a similar path.

>The upper-middle and upper classes are the only groups that invest in property and stocks at any non-negligible amount.

Not true. A lot of blue collar workers have 401k plans which invest actively in the stock market.

A small correction: He said he was approaching 33.

Beautiful piece of software. UI is simple and intuitive. You guys will go places.

And I bet any real system would accommodate for the exceptions you mention. However, it makes for a very poor presentation. The presentation here is a marketing device, not a product spec.

Absolutely that is how it is marketed. When you visit a sick relative, it often tradition to bring something to them. Often, people will show up with Horlicks or Complan bottles. It is fortified with vitamins so people conflate Horlicks with it being healthy. However, it is mostly carbs and sugar. I know a lot of Indians who insist that their children drink it as part of their breakfast.

Are you sure you are commenting on the correct article?

It works well with dishes dealing with tough cuts of meat, soups and bean based dishes. Yes, you cannot check the progress. But that has been the nature of any pressure based cooking. They key benefit in electric pressure cooking imo is that once the dish is in with spices, you can forget about it till it is done. Most electric pressure cookers have a saute mode, so you can quarter cook the dish, taste for spices and then switch to pressure mode.

I would not even categorize the cooking time to be lower for many dishes (Because you will need the pressure to vent slowly for 20 mins unless you manually vent it). It is more of once things are inside the pot, you do not have to tend to it till it is done. The cooking time certainly helps for dishes like pot roast and it tenderizes tough cuts of meat much better without dehydrating them. Having said that, the above holds true for any well built electric pressure cooker. Instant pot is just a well built electric pressure cooker.

1 I have seen the steam escape for the lid to lock, but I would not categorize that as a noisy escape. But my perception may have been colored by my previous experiences.

2. True. But the difference when I bought it was around 25 dollars, so it seemed a worthwhile investment. I have used the low pressure to cook rice for some dishes which require the rice to be hard but cooked. I could do it in slow cooker mode, but it would take a long time.

Maybe I was cooking them too long. I used to have a $90 cooker (I think it was T-Fal), but I could never get it to cook correctly. With Instant pot, the cooking time does not seem to matter. Same thing with venting. I could never get it to vent without much noise.

Three things Instant Pot does that my older non-electric pressure cookers could not do:

1. Preserve the shape of the food being cooked. The older non-electric cooker would mush all the garbanzo beans or vegetables into a mash. When I cooked with the instant pot for the first time, I thought nothing was cooked fully because every vegetable and bean still were mostly in its original shape.

2. No noise. Non-electric cookers have the steam whistle to vent out excess steam which is noisy and annoying. Instant pot does not have that.

3. It has two pressure settings - lo and high pressure. When I bought it, very few of them offered this option.

Most electric pressure cookers come with a coated aluminum pot. Instant Pot was one of the first ones to offer a stainless steel container. This was the original reason I bought an Instant Pot.

I think Retric meant Economically, gifted students...

This is very similar to Arwi when the Arab moors migrated to Tamil Nadu and Sri lanka. They wrote Tamil in Arabic script. It still gets taught at mosques in Tamil Nadu though no uses it any more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arwi

You are correct in your analysis. ISIS's main recruitment source is the social media. So, if the US defense can get ISIS to use less social media, it is a net win.

Interesting read and captivatingly well-written. OT question: How long does it take you to write such pieces? I am trying to better myself in expressing written opinion and looking at these examples I am feeling more intimidated than encouraged. Thanks.

I know these are old books and are C and C++ oriented, but it helped me a lot during my formative years and helped me transition from being a decent programmer to being a decent engineer. They are short books which are well written and not very dense.

As per Moh, Zhang never asked Moh for letters of recommendation (I find that hard to believe. Zhang would not mention it if he had not asked Moh for help). http://www.math.purdue.edu/~ttm/ZhangYt.pdf

This is true in the Tampa area too. My Lyft driver said he was using both to increase the chances of getting a request. He also said that he got more requests with Uber.I suspect this is true in smaller cities where neither Uber nor Lyft have significant traction yet.
