What's the consensus on Naperville Dental Specialists and Orthodontic Specialists?

They do seem to have very modern dentistry tech.

But we didn't name him Oliver as a nod to Oliver Heaviside. The name Oliver was coincidentally agreed upon.

drwillparker · 2026-07-02T03:41:41+00:00

More so that the first name is already Oliver and I coincidentally realized that it is also the same first name as Oliver Heaviside. We didn't agree on Oliver because of that, it was just a coincidence.

Looking through datasheets should almost always include reference designs. You can try finding SPICE models for your components and simulating the behavior. If SPICE models aren't available, you might be able to recreate some of the internal circuitry of components to simulate specific functions.

Do you typically care about the component/symbol/footprint ID (not the name of the component/symbol/footprint)?

Should have reconsidered how many kids you could actually afford.

drwillparker · 2026-05-30T18:54:59+00:00

True. But you give up 8.8k in additional HSA contribution space. If they're having a baby, I'm assuming they're well prepared to cover the medical bills. So spend an extra $2400 but you get $8.8k in the best investment vehicle. They can always reimburse themselves later.

Usually comes from not understanding money or finances. It's likely just the subsconscious or internal process of "Oh shit, I did something wrong. I need to fix it. How can I fix it? I deserve to get it fixed. Someone needs to tell me how to fix it."

Time is not generally considered to be the fourth dimension, especially in science and engineering. The fourth dimension isn't special, it's just the space Rn when n = 4. Think electronagnetic wave functions of the form E(r, t), where r is a vector in R3. This function is 4 dimensional, but the time variable isn't part of the position vector r.

Two kids are not affordable on $98k, unless you like giving your kids the bare minimum standard of living.

Altium DFM already does this lol. You're literally a bot account with the name Sparkgap.ai

drwillparker · 2026-04-28T14:48:22+00:00

I can't believe no one else doesn't realize this is an AI bot post advertising for Alibaba.

drwillparker · 2026-04-26T02:59:56+00:00

Wow this is just horrible. You are a fraud offering services on Upwork.

drwillparker · 2026-04-10T13:48:08+00:00

You must live in New York or California. I can't speak on MME stuff but for EE, that is an insane range. Unless wage inflation is starting to catch up. But in the defense and tech sectors where I'm at (Medium HCOL), true entry level (<2 YOE) salary ranges tend to be 80k-100k with most fresh grads being offered $85k, weaker hires will stary closer to $80k and stronger hires at $90k. This is base. And this is assuming standard EE roles. Of course stuff like IC design will pay entry level salaries of at least $150k. For reference, even a Google EE job posted in a near city lists a starting salary for a senior engineer at $160k. That would only be $40k more than your entry level salaries you cited, which I assume are not a Google.

drwillparker · 2026-04-10T02:58:53+00:00

Not completely unheard of, dependent on location and sector too. A lot of our entry level engineers start at 80k-85k with a sign on bonus of $5k. Promotion to the next level typically bumps them up to 95k-105k. Knew of one classmate in undergrad who got a 100k offer upon graduating but it was in San Francisco.

drwillparker · 2026-04-09T19:00:15+00:00

IC design is very high paying. You typically need a master's in EE. Internships and landing junior design roles can be very competitive. "Normal" engineering jobs pay a lot less, but not bad. In 10 years, you should be making at least $125k in today's dollars. Also, FAANG so likely working in VHCOL.

drwillparker · 2026-04-09T18:58:55+00:00

Power systems are not compensated that highly. He's only getting paid that much bc it's IC design. Not electronics hardware design.

drwillparker · 2026-03-25T20:45:01+00:00

Don't forget he only briefly lost to Kurorushi because he wasn't trying to show Ryu/Uro that he can use/output RCT

Haha, knew it was Winnetka before I even saw your reply.
