What your missing is the concept that RGB colors are based not around the physical property's of light but the eyes ability to detect light using Rods and cones. In the real world there is a difference between 390 nm light and 390.00001nm light all the way up to749.9999 nm. However all of that is abstracted away and the eye only really cares about the relative intensity of RGB when there is enough light or just B and W in really low light conditions.

So, to fool a machine you might need to exactly match all the individual wavelengths relative intensity but with a human you get to ignore most of that and just look at 3 numbers per pixel.

PS: A small number of people can detect 4 colors but the net effect of this is almost meaningless for various reasons.
Great work! Though I have couple of suggestions from SEO perspective.

* Please, please, please change your URL from http://upout.com/a/YRlIYk to http://upout.com/new-york/candle-vegan-food (you can't imagine how important URLs are)

* Please include the city name in page title. So, your title "Candle Vegan Food | UpOut" becomes "Candle Vegan Food in New York"

* Add related activities tab and list activities there to build strong interlinking between various pages

* Give a small widget on the page so people can embed these activities on their blogs/websites so you get backlinks from there

Rest looks awesome! Good luck.
Which would be rewarded in your situation, building 30 really simple pages by hand or spending 1/2 that much time to code something which generated those pages automatically?

This method doesn't have web pages in mind. More along the lines of something like domain models for something like energy trading.

Writing tests for 20 shallow, repetitive classes would result in 20 shallow looking test classes, and that programmer would be called on it.

Web pages are really a narrow area of programming.

Once again, the best programers write as little code as possible which allows them to focus on quality over quantity.

How many functional specs are they accomplishing while they are doing this? I've known programmers who've created "entire new functional sections" in their app with 25 lines of code. Your issue is addressed by paying attention to functional specs.
Me too :) Actually, check out the talk mentioned at the beginning of the essay. Pretty sure I build that exact pipeline at some point near the middle.

As a side note, this does not directly address the problem proposed by Arrow's theorem, although it could easily be made to do so, but the post isn't so interesting in that context. It's more about how it interacts with a constituency system.

If you want a randomised solution to Arrow style preferential voting, the following is the best I currently know of:

1. If you have one candidate, stop. That candidate is elected.

2. If you have more than one candidate, pick a candidate at random. Call that candidate Pivot. Every candidate who the majority thinks is worse than Pivot drops out of the race. If there is no one the majority thinks are worse than Pivot, Pivot drops out.

3. Goto 1.

Edit: Err. Correction. That's an algorithm for selecting a single winner from Arrow style preferential voting. It's based on an only slightly more complicated one for giving you the full range though.
Well, I lived in Brazil for 7 years, and only recently (like, a couple weeks ago) moved back to the US. What I could never understand is how you could trust a programmer that doesn't speak (and read) fluent English. Not being facetious here, but the fact is most good documentation is in English. I was the lucky exception while back in Argentina, but I feel that's still a widespread problem in Brazil.

A pity though, because I know for a fact there's plenty of great talent there.
Yeah I totally imagine Steve Jobs using Garageband and Final Cut Pro all the time.
Good, this is awesome.
There’s one example I know of in which a ‘patch’ was released for an album: in 2008, Trent Reznor released a corrected version of the 24/96 version of The Slip (the album he had released for free through nin.com, and at the time, their own torrent tracker) due to a mastering error. The re-release replaced the existing release on nin.com.

It obviously wasn’t technically a patch, and was easy enough to do since it was self-distributed, but it’s not entirely unheard of for a major digital music release to have seen corrections.
> Fifteen criminal cases have been filed against local and state officials,[17] but only one minor conviction has been obtained, and all other charges have been dismissed or dropped.

But the guy with authority (local elected mayor, not the state emergency manager) and the engineers/technicians/??? who made the choice not to use corrosion inhibitor, which actually caused the problem, haven't been charged (or the Glasgow guy get let off?) to go after political targets instead and state people who failed to properly detect the mess the locals created.
The claim that 'the miracle year' is some fundamental rule in scientific discovery and that people's best work is always done in some flurry of creativity in their younger years is the kind of claim that might sell magazine articles - it's simple to understand, you can cherry-pick a few examples, and that might get you some mass appeal.

However there are a very large number of counterexamples, starting with Einstein himself, who went on to spend 15 grueling years working out general relativity, an effort which relied heavily on previous mathematical development of non-Euclidean geometry by the likes of mathematicians like Riemann. Here's that story:

https://thewire.in/science/beyond-the-surface-of-einsteins-r...

Another counterexample is that of James C. Maxwell, probably the most important theoretical physicist of the 19th century, whose synthesis of previous work on electricity and magnetism into a coherent whole was a 20-year process at least, and the form we see Maxwell's equations in today is due to later efforts by others:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maxwell%27s_equatio...

> "Later, Oliver Heaviside studied Maxwell's A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism and employed vector calculus to synthesize Maxwell's over 20 equations into the 4 recognizable ones which modern physicists use. Maxwell's equations also inspired Albert Einstein in developing the theory of special relativity. The experimental proof of Maxwell's equations was demonstrated by Heinrich Hertz in a series of experiments in the 1890s. After that, Maxwell's equations were fully accepted by scientists."

Another counterexample: Erwin Schrodinger of quantum mechanical wave equation fame, who did his most important work in his late 30s, and again it was developed over a relatively long period of time, c. 1920-1926.

Maybe the story of the young genius with the brilliant idea is pleasing, and yes it may happen from time to time, but the actual history of scientific discovery generally doesn't fit this simple stereotype.

As far as why the American public education system is generally viewed as being of low quality, well, we might want to start by making teaching as economically lucrative and competitive a profession as say, doctoring or lawyering or software developing.
Great of the ACLU to post the actual court orders and opinions that would otherwise locked behind a rent-seeking government contractors "portal".

Here is why we can't have nice things:

We caution, however, that the detention at the hands of
these TSA Officials is at the outer boundary of the Fourth
Amendment. Once TSA Officials were satisfied that George
was not armed or carrying explosives, much of the concern
that justified his detention dissipated. However, it did not
totally vanish or suggest that further inquiry was not
warranted. Suspicion remained, and that suspicion was
objectively reasonable given the realities and perils of air
passenger safety. The TSA Officials still were confronted
with an individual who was carrying Arabic-English
flashcards bearing such words as: “bomb,” “terrorist,” “to
kill,” etc. In a world where air passenger safety must contend
with such nuanced threats as attempts to convert underwear
into bombs and shoes into incendiary devices, we think that
the brief detention that followed the initial administrative
search of George was reasonable.

It's basically pages upon pages of personal opinions and value judgements. At the end of the day, the law does nothing to protect you when the judge dealing with the government appeal is a right-wing nutjob that attaches no significance to constitutional freedoms.

Even if the DMCA protects Google themselves from legal action as long as they properly comply with the takedown procedures, can she not still sue uploaders personally?

Whether she'd want to or not is a different question, of course. But let's assume she has some of those "special cases" she mentioned -- an unauthorised advertising campaign or two, maybe -- as handy targets with no moral or commercial dilemma attached.

I imagine YouTube would suddenly get a lot fewer contributions if legitimate copyright lawsuits resulting high awards of statutory damages started landing on uploaders' doorsteps, even if Google themselves only participated by providing evidence under some sort of disclosure procedure or court order.
They have had this since 2016[0]. The problem is you have uber logic behind it. The only time it asks me to verify is when I'm on the highway and turn the app off and back on. I guess they think I'm tossing the phone to the car next to me while going 65?

I wonder if companies should be forbidden of advertising discounts at all, maybe they should just list what is the price and the customers can look out the price history and compare with competitors themselves (which is the defence mechanism for the current situation).

I really don't like the idea of living in a society where companies I buy things from are trying to scam me by using Pavlov-esque techniques of using fake discounts to get my attention, especially because that works. Really, is that the society we want to have?

I would like to hear counter arguments to this.
I feel that the 00s didn't have a well-defined "youth culture", in the sense that people used for 50s onwards where a culture and visual and musical style all combine. But the end of the 2010s definitely does have this, at least for women - Youtube/instagram have evolved a distinctive makeup style!

To me the 00s is the "war decade" and the 2010s the "financial crisis decade", despite the defining events being in 2001 and 2008 respectively. Post-2015 is the "chaos decade", where politics stopped attempting to make sense.

Xiaomi will spend some of the $1.1bn they just raised coming to the US

I doubt that. Most of the $1.1bn would be spent defending against IP lawsuits that operating the US would make them vulnerable to. Xiaomi's phones look like a better rip off of Apple than Samsung was able/willing to do, and Apple will sue them if they enter a market with good IP protection.

It means removing the tape while leaving the cable in place on the floor (perhaps held down with your foot). Remove all the tape on a given section of cable before picking the cable up.

Technically, sure, the tape is likely in contact with one of the cable or the floor for a fraction longer than the other, but you get the idea.

I am actually pretty surprised AWS isn't on your list. I would dare say they are the most competitive on price vs features of any service out there. They have a free tier for testing your app (handy while you're migrating to a new service). They have services like Elastic Beanstalk for deployment, management, and monitoring of services at no cost above and beyond the servers and storage you already utilize. And they have more services than you can shake a stick at. Their support is top notch. I have used them to host numerous apps, including Node.js apps, and I can't speak highly enough about them.

Knew someone that came off a 17-year Valium addiction.

They're still around (40 years later), and doing great.
Sometimes when the damage is done, it's done. I'm never going to use DDG ever again.

If this decision was because of legal pressure by Google, I don't see how that got resolved in a matter of days. Which means it wasn't because of Google, but rather a poor decision made by DDG management. How can people trust their product now?
To point out one similarity Founders Fund has invested in all of us. BioTech is a huge space, and to be purposely vague we are working on something pretty far away from the other folks.
> If I am falsely accused

The problem is that there's no way for anyone else to determine a priori if your accusation is false or true. That's what the whole presumed innocent until proven guilty thing is about.

In reality, if you are accused AT ALL, you want your day in court and you want it to be fair. Even if you had committed a crime, if the police did something they're not supposed to that needs to get sussed out in court and you should go free.

Half the point of a trial is to make sure that nothing unfair is done by the investigators (police, prosecutor, etc). This is to keep their power in check so that they'll follow the rules. Otherwise it could get mighty tempting to fudge something a little bit "because we KNOW this is the guy!" and "we need to do the right thing."

This article is consistent with my anecdotal experience, where I've noticed high importance placed on travel as a class credential. I grew up in a household that was low income enough that we never vacationed far from home. Now that I'm a white collar software developer on a solid middle class income mixing with middle class folks, mentioning that I've hardly traveled out of the country generates reactions of surprise, to the extent that I often feel I have to explain myself and my lack of overseas travel.

I assume that the video is only really reviewed in the event of complaint or when needed for evidence. Unless the goal starts to be to catch everyone all the time for everything.
You wrote "insurgents fired" but also you wrote that "innocent lives" (supposedly talking about imprisoned terrorists) are at risk because of what happened in Abu Ghraib and brought other terrorists firing as an example. SO you laid the blame not on terrorists that fired but on US forces that captured the terrorists.
Are they trying to pitch a new line of action figures for the G.I. Joes to fight to Hasbro? "VIPR" is just plain silly.
>your line of thought is that you trust that machine to be somewhat reliable //

And your problem is you assume the machine isn't reliable. So then if it's set off, you just say "ah well, it's probably a false reading". At that point you just obviated the purpose of the machine.

Yes we don't learn whether it was the permethrin (? can't certainly recall the name) but the people who did the sweep of his apartment confirmed that there were no other indications of explosives manufacture [or you can plump for the slightly less cynical - 'the questioning confirmed he was not a threat'].

There's likely always going to be some false-positives: the needs of the many, yadda, yadda.

>IFF we had a reliable, working test with little to no false positive due to fing everyday stuff* //

Can you post your source and the pertinent stats for the number of false-positives for explosives detection at airports in the USA please.

Or Mattermark just has slightly better shovels than the competition, and they know that focusing on keeping a slight lead in shovel making by selling a ton of shovels is more profitable in the long run than going for a single quick pile of gold asap.

> And if I ever set off the explosive detector, my first reaction wouldn't be how unfair it was that "harried" employees were "rudely" explaining that my options were leaving or a private pat down. That would seem utterly reasonable to me.

He was told that leaving was not one of his choices. Even after pointing out the illegality of that to the security official, he was told that if he left, he would forfeit his luggage, including any electronics. So essentially, leaving was not one of his choices. Also, having his house broken into and possibly bugged does not seem utterly reasonable to me.

It is better to have a higher salary in a higher cost of living area than a correspondingly lower salary in a lower cost of living area.

Wow that's an impressive hack.
> "a great operating system, lacking only a decent editor"

That joke seems to imply a perfect understanding that it's more than a text editor. It is, however, referred to as "The Emacs Editor" in its documentation and "an extensible, customizable, free/libre text editor — and more" on its official website, which could lead to some confusion about its primary purpose if that's not editing text. I do begrudgingly use Emacs as my main editor because that's what the communities of the languages I like use, but I do find the editing experience to be sub-par compared to other editors I've worked with, and I find that there are better external alternatives to any of the common elisp applications, barring org-mode.

That doesn't really make sense. Why buy it online leaving a papertrail (ebay account, bank/credit card transactions), when you can buy it anonymously in person using cash? The daily volume also isn't there. It's a couple thousand dollars per day at most. You can easily get that amount in person without raising any suspicion by driving to different stores in your city.
Thanks, that is a more general review than what I was able to find. I wasn't able to find anything agreeing with a half-life on the order of weeks, however. Is it possible you're mistaking the half-life of irreversible MAOI's (since it binds to the enzyme irreversibly, the half-life is essentially the lifetime of the enzyme, weeks) with reversible (minutes to hours), which seem to be the ones in coffee?

>in most cases doctors have many, many thousands of hours under their belt in training before still needing to study a ton to pass their boards

The difference is that what the doctors put so much time into learning can actually be quite useful for their job. The vast majority of competitive coding stuff isn't. Interview procedures based around it completely fail to assess some of the most important abilities in software engineering, like API design. As anyone who's ever used any of Google's open source libraries would have noticed, hiring people who do well at competitive coding problems is no guarantee they'll be able to produce decent software.
