4. There are countless things I don't understand/can't wrap my mind around. I'm no expert in math/science -- I just consider myself reasonably literate. A lot of the stuff from the experts at Math.stackexchange or MathOverflow or Physicsforums, etc... it's just gibberish to me. I'd say probability is by far the hardest mathematical subject to grasp fully, especially when it comes to setting up a hard problem correctly. Quote:

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
It's worth researching a variety of energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, biomass, nuclear, etc), to be clear. I just think that the whole thorium thing is overhyped (the pros are oversold, and the cons are understated). Going down the thorium route is p.much just a shitload of money/time spent on a venture with a ton of unknowns while moving from one common fuel to another. IMO, there are other energy alternatives with better NPV for the time being. It's still a good idea to research thorium and its energy applications otherwise, but in terms of pursuing it as a serious commercial contender... ehhhhhhhh. I don't see it as being realistic or economically sensible just yet.

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
idk
I never stepped much because getting the BPM's right throughout the song was a huge chore for me and I was never confident that I did it correctly, so I never really got past that point. I have a couple step patterns in my mind for certain songs but other than that, nothing. |

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
Have you considered going to grad school for computer science?
Do you enjoy living/working in Manhattan? What does a typical day at your job consist of? How long do you plan to stay in New York?

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
Nah, I am totally done with school -- undergrad loans are already big enough, and I am not convinced that I'd get much utility from a grad school CS degree. Besides, my undergrad was in finance stuff so that transition might look weird on paper. My undergrad experience kinda turned me off to academia, to be honest.

NYC's great otherwise and has just about every kind of food you can imagine, but it's also really expensive to live here. It's also very crowded. The most likely move would be to NJ or something in the near future -- but it depends. |

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
What about your undergraduate experienced turned you off to academia in general?
I also noticed you mentioned studying finance. Do you work on Wall Street? And if so, what's that like? |

I actually don't work WS anymore. The work/people are fine, but it's not the sort of thing I want to do the rest of my life. I'm actually trying to make a transition into something CS-oriented but I don't know how that'll play out considering that my background is all business stuff. I'm more of a math/CS junkie at heart. |

When will you stop being lazy and make that RPG you've been talking about for years?

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)
