Can you convert Latex to Word (or ODT, etc.), perhaps with Pandoc, and then from that to epub (e.g. Google Docs allows you to download a Doc as an epub)?
There's a Youtube playlist[1] of recorded lecture videos by Wasserman from his CMU course that uses All of Statistics as a textbook.
I haven't watched more than a couple of mins of them (yet), so no idea how good they are (but the blackboard is quite hard to see in the recordings). However, it obviously doesn't have all the extra stuff that you would get in a proper MOOC.
I think the stick outweighs the carrot! Like many of these complicated problems, there are always pros and cons, and the question is how does society weight the importance of achieving/avoiding those.
I suspect the unpleasantness of prison plus the shackles of a felony on your record more than outweighs the benefits of the education you receive - at least in the USA. But like many people, I think that prisons should reform as well as punish, so I assign a strong weight to the importance of this (IMHO) very minor moral hazard.
I was being a little facetious before re: post protest cleanups rather than engaging with you properly, and I certainly support the idea of helping minority owned businesses in principle. I suspect (or hope?) that most cleanup companies would not try to make rioting worse. On the other, the moral hazard definitely exists, there are limited downsides (i.e. the off-chance that you get caught), and if the financial incentives for the cleanup operations became big enough...
They are in order, and Bond evolves based on his experiences in previous books. I would start with the first, Casino Royale and go from there. Bond of the novels is a more complex and less hero-worshipable character than his movie equivalent. My personal favourite is On His Majesty's Secret Service - I also loved the short story A Quantum of Solace (which has nothing to do with the movie of the same name).
And while I personally enjoy the novels, I will say that some of them have not stood up to the test of time as well as others, and now read as very dated. Not discouraging you from reading them, just be forewarned!
I've resisted Twitter for a long time, but this would be the only reason I could see myself becoming a user.
In the past I've had a hard time finding people to follow with a high enough signal to noise ratio (or who don't flood my feed with a new tweet about their cat every 5 mins).
Do you have any tips for picking sources? Or choosing when to fill them? And how do you stay on top of the flood of information?
This exaggerates the problem. You can enroll in ACA outside of open-enrollment if you have a qualifying event, such as losing coverage through a job. You just have to submit paperwork that you lost a job.
I'm not saying open-enrollment wouldn't be preferable, or that the administration might not be trying to encourage people to enroll, but the option is still open for many, in theory.
The expert on NYT's The Daily podcast suggested that the load of the infection you are exposed to can influence the severity of the disease, in which case a health worker working with inflicted patients would presumably be at greater risk. However, I have neither the expertise in immunology or the time to look up sources to verify whether his statement is true. (They also suggested that he could just have been unlucky...)
One fascinating thing they mentioned is that a large number of people in China smoke, especially among the elder generation that is experiencing the highest mortality rate. On the podcast, they mentioned that this is essentially a comorbidity, because your lungs are already partially shot by the time you get Covid-19 (and then viral pneumonia).
I would second the Coursera course(s), which is one of the best MOOCs I've ever taken (Algorithms 1 & 2 from Princeton).
Watch the videos, then read the relevant section of the text book, and don't miss the assignments which were fantastic ways to learn about the nuances of writing efficient algorithms and data structures.
If only every programming MOOC put that much effort into their autograders...
Googling for "Best Business Books of 2009", I'm struck by how few of them I would bother reading today. I remember Shop Class as Soulcraft fondly, although it was a bit of a slog at times, and Brightsided is still on my Goodreads To-read list, but otherwise... Would anyone who's read it recommend Lords of Finance - if so, I'll add it to the list after Brightsided.
But really, do any of those three count as "business" books in the traditional sense?
8 years experience working with software development and data science/ML (+ PhD in Computational Biology)
I'm a fast learner and a hard worker. I've been working on both academic and real world problems for the past few years, and am currently hunting for a full-time industry.
I am open to any opportunity to work with great people on interesting problems.
Do you use the FFupdater app?
