Discussion on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics, please post interesting articles, things you are learning in school, or other general STEM related discussion!

Simply this expression and you get a gold star. (A & ~B) | (A & B) = ?

Heh, /sci/ memes welcome

Hey, if you copy and paste equations into the Windows calculator accessory, it will solve them for you. The only symbol that it does not recognize is ^. Do you know of another way to enter that symbol on the Windows calculator? I am trying to copy and paste an amortization formula, but it won't work because it uses the ^ symbol.

@Rick That's tough, it may not take it. Have you tried Wolfram Alpha? https://www.wolframalpha.com/

Thanks! That worked!

Great! Yeah it's a nifty tool, my first go to for almost any equation. Sometimes it gives you cool extra info too like graphs

I'm a geologist if anyone needs earth science help.

*You are on the path to understanding*

Henlo goys, if anyone is interested in civil engineering and heavy civil construction, I can answer any questions you have

I'm a computer programmer, work mostly with Ruby doing web services

IF anyone else is in the biotech field let me know. I also may be able to help if there are any questions regarding the subject

@Sean can you inject me with CRISPRs that will reverse my age by 15 years?

@ThisIsChris Is that a stat class you are taking?

@FivePointPalm It's incredible to me that Gattaca isn't Identitarian required watching

@Deleted User It's from "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning" by Timothy Bishop. I was just glancing through it while waiting through the train. For my job (datascientist) I like to have at least a high level acquaintance with these things in case they come up.

Gattaca is about an untermench kike selfishly subverting the social order to gain privileges he doesn't deserve.

It's a beautiful story about self sacrifice and the struggle of humanity for greatness

Study the STEMs so you wont catch the poors

I want to start picking up some IT certs to make a career change. Any advice on where to start learning what I need for CompTIA A+? Any good free resources, or should I just pick up a book from Amazon?

I would say just get started. Setup an old PC as a Windows Domain Controller or something like that. I don't know much about IT or Windows but I got into web development by just doing it, picking up languages and technologies at home as a hobby and then at work as needed.

@Deleted User Look up Professor Messer on YouTube

I suggest getting the a+ and then applying for Help Desk jobs. You can then chat with the Network, Security, System Admin, and Development teams to see what direction you want to go.

Thanks!

Am I a Neanderthal or a homo sapien? What is a black person?

Homo erectus

just noticed this. I have a degree in physics, minor in math, so I can answer questions about that. I don't always check this, so feel free to tag me.

If gravity affects time as well as space, and the Big Bang is the mother of all gravitational events, is it true that there may be some places in the universe that the Big Bang, which to us happened 13 billions years ago, actually just happened an instant ago?

@Joe-MN

Don't know a lot about general relativity to be honest. That's a good question. I don't think the big bang itself would be a factor, but if something has been moving relative to us for a long time and then slowed down to catch up with us, it would be younger. Likewise if an object spent a lot of time in a high gravity environment, it would be younger. Also since it takes a finite amount of time for light to travel, when we look at galaxies very far away, we're looking back in time.

The weird thing is that the galaxy can expand faster than the SOL which is hard to wrap my head around but definitely goes to the temperaneousness of the Big Bang for certain places in the universe.

I had not heard that one.
