"Roku soars past revenue expectations as it bets on streaming devices to boost growth" - Feb 2023[1] [1] https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/15/roku-q4-2023-earnings/
XKCD 1053 is relevant here. You and I knew it, but there are going to be lots of people who learn about it for the first time today, and that's a net positive.
They went to China, made tens of millions of dollars in profit, sold their businesses off at a fair margin, and now return to the USA to live what seems entirely likely to be the rest of their lives in all the comfort…
No link offhand but I recommend mastering 2-in-one-hand juggling (zero in the other) three different ways: columns, clockwise, and anti-clockwise. Learn to do each of those patterns such that you forget which hand was…
> I find it a bit amusing that the headline uses the term "Extreme Juggling". Not because it's too clickbaity, but I think the juggling community should have invented that name. "I'm going to an extreme juggling event."…
> The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data As I read this I'm sipping clean, drinkable water. Give it a decade or so. If you thought the wars over oil were bad, wait till you see the wars over water.
Truthfully I did not know what to expect with regards to hand written problems. Out of curiosity, I wrote my very neatest and gave it a try and it solved one of them.
I wonder how Magnus Carlsen or Fabiano Caruana would fare against the world's best chess playing computer. Somewhat related article: http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2014/09/sinq...
A colleague at my office gave it a test drive. * http://youtu.be/jDbTKgWoufw Results: As of now, it can only solve some linear equations. It did successfully solve one quadratic but it couldn't decide if the variable…

All generalizations are false.
I will be sharing this with my students. A few comments are below. My motivation behind the comments is based on how students who are new to LaTeX tend to misuse or not fully recognize the full power of LaTeX. I realize…
Hah, thank you for pointing out the spelling error. :) As for the variations in the sleep cycles, I think it would have to do with the length of time between REM cycles in individuals. I'm sure there's individual…
There are plenty of variables that influence "productivity" (however that is defined) but I imagine that the amount of sleep required for maximum productivity varies from person to person. In my personal experience I've…

This is a nice interactive visualization of the top 50 White House Petitions in tabular, map, and graph form. You can sort by most popular, greatest average signature gain, and male/female ratio.…
Perhaps it is a silly question, but what advantages does this offer over Gmail's rather robust set of keyboard shortcuts?

Most people have the problems described in this blog because they try to go from "zero" to "having to write a thesis" in LaTeX. Even for someone who is intelligent enough to write a thesis in a subject requiring the use…
