Cool, thanks, @Perihelion - CA

@StrawberryArmada is a sick band

Anybody do tutoring stem in college? how practical idea to make money in college, it sounds like a good idea eventually I'm studying electrical engineering and so far in calculus one.

@Tyler Baker I made some decent side money while tutoring in college, I was charging faily cheap and networked quite a bit

It helped that I worked in the school's tutoring center, students liked my tutoring and asked for private tutoring outside the scheduled hours I worked for the school

sounds good, I was thinking about working in the tutoring center and then eventually doing private tutoring wich im sure is more of a responsibility.

@Tyler Baker yeah there's a great economy of scale in doing it this way, in the sense that at the tutoring center you figure out what it is the students are learning at that time, and it gives you a place to practice that topic and make mistakes if working through it the first time in a while, and then you're prepared for private tutoring

private tutoring later that week I mean

and then during finals week I wound up working 8-12 hour days tutoring

at 20 bucks an hour off the books it was pretty nice

Nice better than doing some cheap labor on the side, kill two birds with one stone

yeah exactly

What I did during the school year was grading + tutoring for the school + private tutoring

it works out alright when you add it all up, and it's all related so you aren't switching modes too much

it helps to get in good with a department, for me it was the math department

I just need to get some classes under my belt probably since im only now getting into calc 1, ive don calc in highschool i was pretty good at it.

by "get in good" I mean I just hung out there all the time

sweet

yeah calc is fun, I wound up sticking with that sort of stuff for a long time

I know a wahmen that's a professional tutor. That's what she does for work, and does it for private school kids, and makes a very good living doing it, sets her own hours, "fires" customers if they don't work out, etc.

how do you get started in that?

sounds hard to even get customers

I can ask her how she did it. Customers snowballed by word of mouth so now there's the equivalent of a "waiting list" and she's considering hiring some people to fill in.

cool, thanks

My sister in law runs her own tutoring center. Snowballed from private highschool tutoring. She mostly just keeps them focused and shields them from neurotic parents.

She's started to sub out subjects she doesn't want to teach personally

Real money is in test prep though. most parents want to see certifications and high test scores from you to prove you're worth the price.

Any recommendations for textbooks on physical anthropology?

Or anything about understanding people's racial origins by seeing their physical characteristics

What level of physical anthropology?

@Tyler Baker Calc 1 was fun memories, Calc 2 was harder, Calc 3 is pretty cool so farm

Far*

MATH

math

multivariable calc, right? I loved that.

Sequences and series with matrix, vector and linear functions.

College won't give me calc 1 credit, so I'm taking calc 3 to add to my calc 2 credit.

@JC17-OR I primarily want to be able to identify jews by looking at them, I'm secondarily curious in knowing the features of various other subpopulations especially european ones

I can't think of any textbook which has that kind of info. The best advice would be to study the faces of known Jews. The trick is in the proportions of facial dimensions, though some Jews are hard to spot due to mixing.

Yep, one of the things I looked into recently (mentioned on the daily shoah) is what's called "the semitic smile". It's a way the lips curl on semitic people that gives them a slight smiling look, that euros don't have. It's more distinctive among semites than the famous jew nose. I'd like to know all these features of identifying so not only relying on one (like the nose) but on a few different ones in trying to determine if someone is a jew by eye. In my day-to-day experience I think I meet more Jews than normal whites, and often you can just tell but sometimes it's ambiguous and it would be helpful to know distinguishing features among jews and euros to understand better.

Interesting, I've not heard of the smile. I mostly identify Jews by the traces of admixture you can see in facial proportions. Natural eye I guess.

@JC17-OR is there a name for that? In fact I think I heard someone mention something about almond eyes

Old textbooks would help you, nothing new.

@Joe-MN any suggestions which old textbooks? a lot of the newer stuff seems really autistic about monkeys and stuff I don't care about lol

no idea

go to a library, maybe a university library

yeah I wish I was still in university

find old books online, scanned ones or whatever

just go there

Archive.org might have some texts to read.

Here's an article on faces and ancestry.
https://m.medicalxpress.com/news/2014-03-d-links-facial-features-dna.html

Try to look for texts from 70s or before. You could also look up craniometry texts, which may help.

On a slightly related note the DSM II and DSM listed being homo a mental disorder, then they got cucky

Thanks @JC17-OR !

Psychology is for small brains acting like big brains though, they even got rid of p values for their studies

Depends on the field. Analytical psychology still has p-values and statistical analysis, but cultural, social and abnormal have reduced their empiricism drastically.

When I was studying criminology, we didn't review a single study with statistical analysis.

@ThisIsChris I would recommend reading "racial biology of Jews". It's older, but may help you in your endeavors to understand the biology and ancestry of the Jews.

@JC17-OR this is perfect, even without pictures it is very clear, thanks!

Anyone here following ZUMA at all?

@Cait_Bradshaw - MA what's that?

It was a Space X satellite that was secretly launched supposedly.

It was a US satellite designed by Northrop Grumman or something

And launched by spacex

Supposedly it "failed"

A problem with second stage separation apparently

But SpaceX claims the second stage separated correctly

The Gov refuses comment because the nature of the satellite is classified

The satellite is however essentially "registered"

Which only happens if it completes an orbit or something

@StrawberryArmada that's interesting!! Do you think something spoopy is going on?

We launch secret stuff all the time. I'm kinda surprised they used spaceX but if the launch was time sensitive maybe NASA didn't have a vehicle ready.

NASA doesn't have its own launch capabilities anymore I believe

They are wholly reliant on SpaceX, Space Launch Alliance, and worse: russia

https://youtu.be/8dDRBvjcjwE

The government and SpaceX refuse to say it failed outright

Media says the gov said it failed

If it failed then we lost one billion dollars

If not why are they saying it did

I'm not sure where to ask this, but how do you guys feel about common core?

@micbwilli I'm curious about it but don't know much about it. Do you have any thoughts? I used to teach college math classes and some of the freshmen needed to be whipped into shape but I don't know if it has any relation to common core. Though I did have a lot of students asking if I would be "grading based on the correctness of the answers" to which I was like "yes lol why" and apparently a lot of high school students are NOT graded based on the correctness of their answers?? Idk if that is a common core thing or just a their schools thing though.

I don't trust it. It was brought in with no studies on efficacy. All the teachers on the ground seem to hate it.

I get nervous about a lot of these programs of dubious effect. If the outcome is equality than the mechanism is to bring down the top students, because rasping the others to meet them is not usually a possibility. One of the major backers even said CC was a way to stamp out "white privilege".

Does anyone here know Matlab? I’m taking a Matlab class and am super confused

Did you take matrix algebra aka linear algebra?

The simpler versions need you to understand basic matrix algebra concepts

https://youtu.be/j2Mu8qfVb5I

Wrong place. :P

It's appropriate, it's science

not for macgoyver though.

Odd fellow (as to be expected), but it was a decent watch.

I wasn't saying this above thing was wrong. I made a post here that was supposed to be in another section and I deleted it.

ohh lol

@Sam Southern - TN I know some matlab

Anyone in the petroleum industry?

@here ^^^

Im familiar with network engineering in the petrol industry, but I've never worked directly for a petrol company. Lots of BGP.

@Brandon Ironside- ND

@Freiheit - CA I got my degree in petroleum engineering, though I work in aviation engineering at the moment. What you need? Thanks for tag @Havamal

@Brandon Ironside- ND Looking to start a new career. I want to make my fortune. I think opening Anwar, Gull Island &c. will make for a boom in oil when they run a pipe across the continent.
