Hello.
Say I have two numbers and I want to find the first number that is divisible by both of them.
What is that process and/or resulting number called?

>>7958929
Thanks a lot.
Have a great day!
>>7958929
oops I should have read that before posting it lol
I meant to say "least common factor/multiple"

What would happen? Assuming both the 2-way and regular mirror are "perfect," satellite quality.
>>7958842
Depends what else is in the room. Probably a lot of silver. Thing is, we can probably empirically test this.
>>7958842
The same thing that happens when you put your head between two parallel mirrors
>2 way mirror
you know this isnt a real thing, right? its just glass that is partially mirrored, and when the room on one side of the mirror is brighter than the other, it's really hard to see from the bright side to the dark side
If there are alternate universes which have different fundamental constants such as c, is it possible that pi could be different? what would this look like?
>>7958786
well yes but if c was different then all of the other fundamental constants would probably be different as well.
>>7958833
c changes in water but circles are still circles bcuz pi = 3.1..
>>7958833
Not at all necessarily all it would change is any equation with c factored in
I was wondering if there are any drugs I could take which would make me see the world as it is to autists?

What are the most common techniques for production on the nano scale and how could they develop in the future?
how long until it will be affordable to manifacture MEMS for the individual?

>how long until it will be affordable to manifacture MEMS for the individual?
You have to understand that even if it was affordable for an individual to manufacture MEMS you'd still have to deal with scaling effects. So it's unlikely an individual would have much use for them at this point.
so what am I supposed to put on my resume as a computer science graduate if I never had a computer job or an internship. Every example resume I find makes me feel like a lazy piece of shit.
>>7958615
put that you shitpost on /sci/
>>7958638
Do the exact opposite and stop using the computer for anything fun.
Spend the rest of your time building a portfolio of stuff.

Why aren't non STEM degrees not obligated to have one class teaching about the scientific method? Fuck it, even STEM degrees should.
There are people in my country that aren't exposed to science (only math) since they were 15yo (9th grade). The amount of stupid shit people believe is retarded, and I'm pretty sure every stupid belief they have is because they don't understand the scientific method.
Even a girl in my biology degree, believes in stupid shit. Like chemtrails for example, she spams facebook with that shit. How are these people allowed...

Because college doesn't make you smarter. It just gives you more information.
>>7958552
read any philosophy of science work and you'll find out that the scientific method is fundamentally flawed
>>7958555
A big part of college is learning to evaluate and learn things yourself. What OP is suggesting would be useful in that context.
So what are all you guys thinking of doing instead of maths and science when DeepMind will be better at all logic based industrial applications within the next 10-15 years?
Obviously the only place where it will be terrible is at social areas of work, so I'm thinking of perhaps studying to get into social work as this will be much harder to automate. I also read recently that a fair amount of business requires soft social skills and that the analytical component is not nearly as determinant in how much you are paid in the long term.
So, now that STEM is a...

Jobs are for machines. I will be sleeping all day, every day.

>within the next 10-15 years
It bruteforces games with perfect information
You are retarded if you think they're going to achieve anything meaningful within 15 years
>>7958389
>STEM is a dead end
lol, ML programmers and CS types are going to be the only ones with jobs in 20-30 years
just lel if you think all those 'soft skills' aren't going to be trivial for a machine to mimic. A machine is going to be wittier, more pleasant and more engaging than you with access to the world's knowledge. What makes you think you can compete?

It's impossible for me to look at a series of numbers like that and not attempt to find the pattern. So, well played, I guess.
Hello /sci/,
>a fluorapatite-like remineralised veneer is formed over the remaining surface of the enamel; this veneer is much more acid-resistant than the original hydroxyapatite, and is formed more quickly than ordinary remineralised enamel would be.
If after brushing my teeth, i put some toothpaste in my mouther and keep if for a few minutes instead of direct rincing, do you think it'll speed remineralisation up?
>>7958208
There's a better way, there are fluoride products made exactly for that reason. Ask your dentist about them.
>>7958225
Nice thanks.
>>7958208
What does remineralisation even mean?
for what I know you can't regenerate enamel (at least not faster than you'll lose even with best hygiene in thi whole Indian country)
Does it harden the teeth?

Is Chartered Statistician a meme?
>>7958173
>an MBA gets you more pay than a PhD, for roughly 1/99999999999 the work involved in getting a PhD
What is this gay world we live in?
Anyways, math major here. Statistician seems like a comfy job to me but so are all the other math jobs except for banking stuff. I'd rather be a programmer, data scientist or actuary. Also, actuary is the highest paid STEM job that there is. It is a no brainer to go there.
>>7958179
What about Quantitative Analyst positions (banking)?
Generally, I feel like Accountants are more under-supplied at the moment than Actuaries.
Also, what about a Maths Teacher + Entrepreneurship combo? You get a salary for working 75% of the year, plus it's Maths so you don't need to prepare lessons, just wing them.
>>7958196
>What about Quantitative Analyst positions (banking)?
I've heard that makes a lot of money but the hours are deadly. I wouldn't sacrifice my well being when every other job I can get as a math major will pay me more than enough to sustain myself.
>Maths Teacher + Entrepreneurship combo?
The last thing I'd do is become a teacher, even considering the benefits. All of my time studying maths I've been bombarded by people...

What do you guys think of De Broglie–Bohm theory of quantum mechanics?
De Broglie-Bohm theory sounds like if you went to Jamaica and Jamaicans fucking hated the "Bohm theory" and "broglie" is a Jamaican word for "bad"
>>7958170
I literally couldn't give less of a fuck about the interpretations of quantum mechanics, I don't care of that pisses some people off. The fact is as it stands there's no way to choose between them, they either reproduce all the predictions of QM or they don't. As far as I'm concerned this is a question for philosophers (and so should be on >>>/his/) but even then arguing over the interpretations of quantum mechanics has to be one of the most...

it is a contextual theory, so, since most physicists are not meant reflect on their work and be critical, but just praise whatever model is popular during their studies, it bugs people off more than anything.
Does masturbation destroy your brain cells or is it a myth? Each time I masturbate i feel dumber, have more trouble to concentrate, have a shorter attention span, have shittier short term memory...etc.
So is masturbation bad for your brain or not?

There's your mistake anon and you're an idiot for making it. Normally people just major in math and take the actuary exams on the side. Ya don fucked up anon.
>>7958138
The actuarial math programme at my university also has even less pure math classes than most applied degrees despite only being offered by the math department.
Then agian it's much more difficult to get in and stay in the actuarial math programme and actuarial math students are far more respected than pure math.

Is your spouse in STEM as well? How do they like it? Does their field compliment yours?
My gf is in her second year of electrical engineering and hearing her talk circuits is an instant boner.

My girlfriend is a biologist. Personally I couldn't give less of a shit about turtles or bacteria or whatever but she loves it all, and I'm glad she's not doing something useless like geography.

Why does /sci/ hate Biology? Nature is so nice.
