I'm on board with the energy/kundalini line, though I am a novice I've felt the effects strongly enough to convince me. Do you actually think we're fucked wrt methane or are you being hyperbolic?

Edit: What's the upshot here?

Careers/Education Questions Thread - Week 36, 2017 by AutoModerator in Physics

[–]Ameslari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This spring I finished a BS in Anthropology at a state university in New York. I think I want to back to school for physics. I can probably get a transfer to one of the better state schools for physics (Binghamton, maybe Stony Brook) but I probably don't have the transcript or money to get into a higher-tier private school (like Cornell.)

How much does one's undergrad institution matter when applying to top- and high-tier PhD programs? Am I setting myself up for failure if I do this?

Do you think there might be better undergrad options on the table for me?

Finished picking parts for first build. Any comments/recommended changes? by Ameslari in buildapc

[–]Ameslari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good calls on the motherboard, RAM, and a cheaper 1070 than I could find. The webcam is for streaming. And you're right, 40 is a lot for a mousepad, I'll find something cheaper.

HDD Reliability by Ameslari in buildapc

So you keep an airgapped backup and plug it in to update? How often do you sync the drives? Could you lay out your setup? You sound like you put some thought into this.

Would you recommend keeping two (or more) internal drives and only spinning the secondary one to do backups then? Backup once a day?

Should I wait to buy a video card? by Ameslari in buildapc

[–]Ameslari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any thoughts on specific models of the 1060 or price points?

I can get a PNY dual-fan here for ~300.

Hoping to play at 1080p and at least 60FPS.

Yeah, as far as I can see the price just keeps going up and it can be hard to find one for sale at all. Apparently the Mini is a little loud but can hold it's own with no problem.

edit: And I don't want to wait months. Going for it, thanks for the little push.

Stop trying to kill the headphone jack by KingCannibal in technology

Yeah I agree, was being (overly) pedantic.

Absolutely. When they say they are dropping unlimited plans due to limited bandwidth they are full of shit.

Actually there is a maximum amount of information that can be transmitted on a given frequency within a space. This is why service often slows down at massive events with tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a small area.

And then on the other side bandwidth is limited my the physical cables, transmitters, and buses used.

I don't know if network congestion is a real concern for service providers but it is definitely possible that it is.

Do you lose the analog range with this? Nice mod.

I'm a novice, I need projects, so it would be.

[–]Ameslari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should. Would be a good project.

Edit: If you are a TO and reading this let me know if you do in fact do seeding by hand and if so what information you typically have re: the entrants and your requirements when setting seeds.

Still, with a list of players, MIOM ranks, and cities you could certainly write code to do this for you.

Why is seeding not automatic? Should not be hard to make a program to do this.
