I guess it depends on how much leeway you can be given for using “almost nothing” and “remotest connection to anything technical”, but Wikipedia says Ford Motor Company was incorporated in 1903 and the first assembly…

Wow, I keep hearing people like Tim Ferris and Dr. Peter Attia talking about using Metformin. I had no idea it is a diabetes medication. From what I keep hearing on random SV related podcasts, it's some anti-aging drug…

The article is talking about detached housing. In Vancouver I keep seeing the trend of several detached houses in a row being bought, bulldozed, and converted to low-rise condos or townhouses. The supply of housing…
Judging by partlysean’s response, “our industrial design team would use Rhino and then hand it off to the mechanical engineers to rebuild it in Solidworks.” I would think Rhino lacks the entire Computer Aided…
I know what you’re talking about, but I don’t have links. I took part in a “training session” at a med school. Basically undergrads were brought in to go through a “PBL” session so the facilitators could get training…

In all seriousness, I stopped going to lectures* and studied at my own pace. My learning isn’t linear, so there will be some topics that are easy that you can move quickly on. Other topics take more time. Sometimes you…

Broadly speaking, math is made up of theorems. The goal is to prove the theorem by establishing a proof, or disprove the theorem using a counterexample. In math textbooks and courses I’ve had, there tends to be…

Maybe this is a BC thing, but you should consider a second degree in computer science. UBC [1] and SFU [2] both offer them in BC. I’m not sure if Ontario schools offer them. From what I understand it’ll be hard to be…
