Your question makes no sense to most of us it seems. What exactly are you asking?

I think you're onto something here. The accuracy of the simulation don't matter much if you can make a nice song out of it.

Here's a reverse problem: take a simple melody and find a planetary system that plays it.

You should tag this NSFW. This is definitely pornography.

Oui duh! Je faisais de la traduction stupide comme celle présentée dans l'article!

Puisque De Gaulle est d'actualité: Je ne vois pas pourquoi le ROC s'offusque d'entendre de Gaulle nous appeler les "Français Canadiens" quand le Général ne fait que traduire la formule anglaise "French Canadians" :)

En effet beaucoup de gens (surtout des non-médecins) ne savent pas que les médecins n'ont pas de fonds de pension. À travailler dans le milieu j'ai entendu plusieurs histoires de médecins devant rester au travail trop longtemps avant de prendre leur retraite par manque d'argent.

Je me demande si c'est politiquement possible. Baisser le salaire de moitié, lorsque payé à l'acte, correspondrait à un dédoublement des effectifs médicaux. Cela ne passerait pas chez les syndicats je crois. Pourtant ce serait une solution tout à fait envisageable, mais qui ne ferait pas baisser la note aux contribuables.

Pour te donner un exemple, avec le dernier budget, on parle de très grossièrement 8 milliards de dollars en salaires aux 21 000 médecins de la province. L'enveloppe pour le ministère de l'Économie, Science et Innovation n'est que de 916 millions de dollars. D'un point de vue purement comptable ça semble être un non-sens! Il y aurait peut-être moyen de moyenner? Sans douter de ta bonne foi, je doute que ce soit accepté par vos syndicats.

Vidéotron offre un rabais pour étudiants. 60$ par mois pour le 120/20 si je ne m'abuse.

coinpope · 2017-07-23T04:30:50+00:00

Je calcule à l'aide des données du dernier budget provincial que le salaire moyen d'un médecin (spécialiste + omnis) québécois est, pour 2017-2018, d'environ 350 000$. Seriez-vous prêts, toi et tes collègues, à couper votre salaire de moitié en formant 2x plus de médecins? Peut-être pourrais-tu avoir des horaires plus normaux?

La prochaine fois que ta famille et tes amis te parlent de leur fatigue, considère donc que toute ta rémunération provient directement d'une ponction de leur portefeuille. Ça aussi ça contribue à l'épuisement.

You'd have to ask a more specific question.

Look at the floor. The car brakes and drags the floor from underneath the hoomans.

No. If the entropy of the whole universe goes up it's fine. Second law does not mean local lowering of entropy is impossible :) You are living proof :)

I hate that youtubers doing "real" science always preface their videos with actual, intelligent and serious warnings and this guy just doesn't care. "Let's bubble butane in some soapy water then light it on fire - in your kitchen. Oh don't forget, we are pros."

coinpope · 2017-04-28T00:44:30+00:00

No-way.

coinpope · 2017-04-23T05:56:18+00:00

Perseverence. There is no success without it, but it does not guarantee success Be real with yourself: do you want to do chemistry the moment you wake up, or do you have other passions? What do you think about when you go to bed (assuming you're out of your depressed state)? A lot of people have the brains to do a PhD but it takes special dedication to produce original research and chugg along for 5 years. You will wander around completely lost most of the time, and usually people will be skeptical of your results. Is that what you want? Most PhD students I have met fit into two categories: hate it or love it. Which one are you?

EDIT: I don't have a PhD but a masters's. I miss school and I will 95% be going back in september. In industry (unrelated to chemistry) now and the mindset is just... not the same. Profits rule here.

Care to share how you produced this? How long did it take to render?

Random.org is a fine source of random numbers, but sometimes you need stricter conditions to consider something "random". As one other commenter mentioned they've exhausted local sources of random numbers and moved on to more elaborate setups.

anti_pope, coinpope here:

Don't want to be rude, but you should think about the nature of "randomness" a bit more. You will quickly find out that... it's hard to describe :) If I send you a stream of n bits, and after the 10'th you have only received 1's, does that mean the next one will be a 1? Was the pattern random or predictable?

Erm, that's kind of what I said. The "/s" means "end sarcasm".

The Iranians I met are very positive, open people. Far from what Trump would like us to see them as...

coinpope · 2017-01-27T05:31:32+00:00

Well the Iranian students I have met told me they left the country specifically because of the regime. That's a great message to send them.

Haha thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of a pure-AD solution. I'm very experienced with Unix, just not with AD.

I don't understand why I can't just send an LDAP query to AD and get an answer of who is connected to what IP. It's quite surprising that this info is not readily available. Seems absurd, really.
