My wife and I really enjoy building #Lego modular buildings from the old #expert system. We have quite a few and are now able to display them in the living room. One thing we want to do is buy some #lighting kits so we can light up the street. The lights usually have a #USB A connector and we thought that a hub would be a good option. Does anyone know if they make a USB Hub only for power?

It is common knowledge that it takes 10,000 hours of sustained practice to become proficient in any substantive endeavour. That is, to become an #expert, one must work on just one thing for 5 years—50 work weeks per year and 40 work hours per week.
Let us apply this aphorism to #CS and #IT. Those four years of undergrad studies do not count toward the 10,000 hours, because the undergrad has neither the ability nor the opportunity to focus on one thing. So, to become an expert in one area of study or one segment of technology, one must earn a PhD in one narrow academic research area or, equivalently for someone with a BS, work in the industry for at least five years exclusively applying just one technology.
But in today's climate of technological churn, that level of devotion to one area of technology is tantamount to a career suicide. Sad....

Calling on any myriapodologists out there. Is this Scutigera coleoptrata (House #Centipede)? Photographed last night in my downstairs bathroom. I’m aware they are rare in the UK but sightings are on the rise. Body length approx. 25mm. I need #expert#identification before getting too excited (I’m already excited!). I can’t find any prior record of the #species in #Nottinghamshire. Is this a #First#Sighting? Embarassingly the photo reveals I need to dust more!
Of course #ElonMusk is an #expert#historian, as well as a #Constitutional#law expert. There isn't a topic that #Elon isn't the premier expert of. Good thing we've got Elon to tell us how the world works! We'd still be living in the dark ages if not for his endless #expertise and #wisdom! 🙄
Imagine how far into the #DunningKruger effect you'd have to be to go on television as a non-#lawyer, and release statements asserting that a career #judge got a legal decision wrong. This is the cancer that permeates the #GOP. They dismiss any inconvenient #fact, and reject the assessment of any #expert that doesn't support their preconceived #beliefs, and then they posit themselves as the actual experts with all the real knowledge.
This is the thing that makes #internet a true qualitative difference in our world. Post something random, and ten minutes later it's reached someone who's an #expert or lay #enthusiast who responds.
#Now it’s #Ivanka Trump’s turn to face questioning in the #civil#fraud#trial that is publicly probing into the family business. #Trump’s eldest daughter, who has been in his inner circle in both #business & #politics, is due on the stand Wed, after trying unsuccessfully to block her #testimony.
During lunch, in anticipation of the defense case, the #NYAG's office moved to bar 4 of the #expert#witnesses that #Trump wants to call. NYAG argued 3 of their testimonies are not relevant due to the judge's pretrial ruling finding Trump #liable for #fraud.
#Engoron ruled on the top fraud count. This trial is proceeding on the remaining claims of #InsuranceFraud, issuing false financial statements, falsifying business records, #conspiracy & disgorgement.
#ElonMusk is giving his "#expert"opinion on matters he has absolutely no #expertise in... again. #Musk believes he is the most authoritative expert on literally every topic, but the truth is that he's a #narcissistic bomb thrower whose fragile #ego demands that he insert himself into every discussion.
Honestly, who gives AF what #RFKjr has to say about anything? He pretends to be an #expert on literally every topic, when in fact he's just a layperson who speaks with unearned confidence. He's a #lawyer who focused on environmental law when he was actually working as a lawyer, but he's winging it on every other subject. Whether it's #economic#policy, or #publicHealth policy, or #education policy, or foreign policy, Bobby presents himself as the leading authority.
Why do we still need lawyers and doctors and researchers that spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education when we can just spend a few hours a week reading Facebook memes from the people we went to high school with 40 years ago?
#Elon isn't a #physicist, or a #scientist of any sort, but he plays one on his shitty #hate platform. He's got a bad habit of confidently pretending to be the leading #expert in literally every subject, but 99.9% of the time he's just talking out of his silly South African ass. The only thing he's really an expert in is convincing others that he's an expert. That, and operating a secret #emerald mine.
A key tenet of learning tech is focus. Depth is more important than shallow wide ranging knowledge (which of course is untrue in some roles). As #engineers there’s a #natural#tension - #FOMO - between what you #know, what you are “#expert” in and what you believe others know that you don’t. We tend (as #humans) to place a higher value on things we don’t know - the grass is ALWAYS #greener. Instead - consider the right #tool for the #job and let the rest sort itself out. #tech
