the surgery makes it hard to eat a lot of food at once, but patients over many years adapt by eating smaller amounts continuously, and then the stomach pouch also expands and the small intestine becomes better at absorbing calories...this results in some and sometimes all original weight returning
the deep cynicism here is how people think Turbo tax is doing a pubic service by making taxes easier and cheaper, that's how effective their marketing is. Convince the public there is a problem that only said company can solve.
every year google figures out a way to make their captchas worse and worse . The latest one involving pictures is so horrible that I just give up when I see it
I lost interest in math after calculus, when it stopped being about results and more about abstract and complicated squiggles on the page . Elliptic functions are interesting because it seems calculus-like (such as elliptic integrals and the theta series) but this weird set/category theory stuff just doesn't do it for me.
maybe all of this was planned in advance ...maybe just a big PR stunt that worked brilliantly. I hope the NYT steals the code from my website. I could use the pR
but regular business takes work and risk of total loss of capital. I can double my money buying Snapchat and then do nothing but watch TV and eat Cheetos for the next 6 months as VCs bid it into the stratosphere
That's the way you get rich. Make apps, social networking..stuff like that. Or invest in already-successful, viral app companies like Uber, Snapchat, Tinder, etc. Why anyone would go the brick and mortar route is beyond me. I would rather invest $100k in successful web 2.0 companies (like the ones I listed) and double my money in 6 months than start a crappy regular business which has a 50% chance within five years of totally failing and taking all my money with it. Like the Dire Straits Song Money for Nothing, except it's apps and web 2.0 instead of music.
yeah, same here. Einstein, through a combination of skill, connections and luck, rose to prominence at a pivotal time in science coinciding with the discoveries of both quantum and macro physics theory, as well as the advanced mathematics needed to describe it. No doubt Einstein was talented and a genius no doubt, but he was by far not the only one, and I'm sure he knew this. Pr ogres in physics has now become so incremental and slow; all the low hanging fruit has long been picked. Einstein seems smarter because he made more progress, but the field was in its infancy compared to today where it's very saturated and difficult.,
The problem is that this oversimplification is wrong. Curvature in general relativity cannot be expressed merely with a 2-d matrix. It's actually a hypermatrix a
I would much rather be an investor in whats app than spacex. It may be decades before spacex develops anything beyond the prototype level, whereas whats app can quickly scale and become the next Facebook or Google with a few years.
It seems like a minified version of this:
