- Comment on The price of soda in 2017 5 days ago:
No, that was price per case. If I’m not mistaken I havent see any change in can size.
I always thought the bottles of soda were priced even weirder. I remember buying a 20oz bottle for about 2 dollars, or you could buy a 1 liter bottle for about 2 dollars or you could buy a 2 liter for about 2 dollars. But to show that prices are made up and don’t really matter, a 1.5 liter bottle was 1 dollar…

But I could of gotten a $25 gift card for best buy as employee of the month…
- Comment on Rest in pepperoni 1 week ago:
This almost happened to me. Back in 2006 I didn’t have a license and relied on my mother to get to and from work. She got off her work an hour after me and was about 30 minutes away so I had atleast an hour and half to kill everyday.
I would walk to best buy about 5 minutes from my job and walk around. If people looked confused or were looking for a employee I would help. One month I had the manager approach me and he told me I got enough recognition at the check out that I qualified for employee of the month. The issue was I was not a employee. He gave me an offer but it was 3 dollars less an hour then I was getting at my real job so I turned it down.

No, that’s not education. My point is from a job perspective that’s what’s most important. Most jobs won’t require anything you learn in calculus III or classical literature.
Let’s say you are getting a EE degree. In a lab while learning about ac circuits, learn to play with an oscilloscope and learn how to really use it. That’s most of the value. That’s something you will likely use in your job.

In my experience I see a large part of the college degree is showing you can reliably show up and be in a state to use your brain. The knowledge you get is mostly not in classes but in the labs, most people don’t regularly do tests in work, the build things design things analyze things etc. Yes you learn some stuff in class but when you try to do it, fail, struggle, then figure out what’s wrong, correct it, and it works… That you will remember. It’s like watching a YouTube tutorial vs actually doing a task.

- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 2 weeks ago:
Really? Interesting. We’re there other places or other channels like that? Like if you were in England or India did they do channel 3, channel 4, or something totally different?
- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 2 weeks ago:
I remember the coax cable but did not know about channel 3 being local communication. I thought it was just convention.
Thanks for teaching me.
- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 2 weeks ago:
It’s been about 20 years since I watched cable/broadcast TV in my home. But yeah way back tvs didn’t have inputs for other devices, instead you had a box which you put in between the antenna or cable signal and your device which basically over wrote channel 3(why channel 3? I have no idea) with whatever your device was out putting. So if you wanted to play Nintendo you would change to channel 3 and see Mario or metroid.

Yeah which explains my hair in those days

Honest answer, I’ve heard both and they refer to same thing. It’s plus or minus 3 sigma or range of 6 sigma. They are equivalent.
That said it all depends on give and takes. How important is your process? How cheap is your engineer time? You can adjust the sigma amount as appropriate.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I use the rule of 3 sigma so I have a range of 6 standard deviations
