The rules are outlined on an FAQ page that requires JavaScript; however, I will provide the rules here for your perusal:

1. Round 1 begins as both players receive 3 cards from their decks and 10 random letters.
2. Player 1 optionally plays one or more cards, then plays a word with one letter on the board's center square.
3. Player 1 receives points for all words played. The number of points may be affected by any cards in play.
4. Player 1 receives new letters (as many as were played).
5. Player 2 takes a turn in similar fashion: optionally playing one or more cards, playing a word, then receiving points and new letters.
6. The game advances to round 2 and the players draw a card from their decks.
7. The game continues round by round as the players take turns playing cards and words.
8. The game ends when either of the following occurs during or after the 15th round:
(a) Player 1's score at the end of their turn is less than player 2's score (i.e. player 2 doesn't need a final turn).
(b) The scores are not tied after player 2's turn.
Combination of factors:

- job sucked
- grew up in a place where the weather changes all the time, daily sun was driving me nuts
- got mugged at gunpoint by the gang members (fourth was in a running car close by) who stole my bike as backpack (full of filthy underwear and socks from a 12 shift in a kitchen!) - probably an initiation
- apartment was cockroach infested
- the 7/11 near my place had groups who stayed outside watching you pay to see how much cash you had (not related to previous mugging)
- the pollution was staggering
- the nearest place up buy books was a mall 45 minutes away by bike, the library near me just had children's books and car manuals
- when I biked to that bookstore, on the way home I got egged by some jerks in a car who called me various names related to what the thought my sexuality must be because I was riding a bike
- and so forth

Just wasn't a good experience for me. Living as a cook, you are on the very low end of the income spectrum. If you aren't willing to have roommates, you live in terrible places. I'm sure if I were to live there with my current career, I'd like it much more. :)
I think it's very unlikely that a SSC reader will commit any kind of crime against a NYT reporter or their friends and families - they're much more the kind of people [in favour of niceness, community and civilisation](https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/02/23/in-favor-of-niceness-c...)

To quote Scott:

> Liberalism does not conquer by fire and sword. Liberalism conquers by communities of people who agree to play by the rules, slowly growing until eventually an equilibrium is disturbed. Its battle cry is not "Death to the unbelievers!" but "If you’re nice, you can join our cuddle pile!"
Good for you ! But your situation seems to me to be quite extraordinary.
Even if it doesn't work out on the current team, the work you did that shows initiative and business understanding can be a huge selling point when looking to switch teams or companies.
That hasn't worked for a while. Was never very good anyway.
And that is why Amtrak is the most unreliable form of passenger transportation in the US, west of the Appalachians. I was once delayed 24 hours from Denver to Chicago. That wasn't even waiting in a station for the train to arrive. It was twenty-four hours, stuck on a siding in the middle of nowhere, staring at the agriculture, as train after train of freight passed us by.

Never again. If you travel on land, and can't drive yourself, take a bus. If you want luxury accommodations, buy two seats.
> Oil is primarily used as fuel for transportation. How can I power my kilowatt car with these?

Easy. You build batteries using energy from solar panels, and then you charge them with energy from solar panels.
But you wouldn't know it sucked. There are lots of great companies that aren't around because they lacked the stroke of luck that saved Evernote. And we don't miss them precisely because they never were.
I'm a late thirty-something college dropout, and have yet to regret leaving. I attended a fine small liberal arts school (one of those that rotates through the top three spots of the rankings) and attended for three non-consecutive years. I'd start each year with a love of learning and a sense of potential, and finish each one hating the world and most everyone in it.

I learned an awful lot there, but a lot more from the environment than the actual courses. I learned about money (I'd never really seen it before), I learned about class in America (we didn't have much of that growing up in Wisconsin), and I learned about a lot about cultural relativism (theory and practice). Given a chance, I would highly encourage anyone to attend the best institution they can possibly gain entrance to. It will be eye opening.

But actually getting a degree? Optional. It always felt to me that the certification was at odds with the education. Instead of learning anything in particular, I was being taught to juggle, and to not care too deeply about what I was keeping in the air. This is likely of great value to an employer, but as an individual I want the freedom to care deeply about the content, and never found this to be possible in even an excellent liberal arts college environment.

Financially, I'm probably doing worse than most of my peers who stuck with it. But I think this is more a factor of my personality than the lack of a degree. I left the final time to work at a computer company founded by some friends of mine (social networking advantage) and we managed to sell that successfully. The current startup is much shakier, and at this point all the savings are gone, but I'm pretty sure the lack of a degree has not been holding me back.

Anyway, I'm all for Peter Thiel. I wish something like this had been around for me. It would have been great to have the feeling there was some approved alternative to college rather than just slogging through.
I find The Definitive Guide is completely unnecessary with access to the internet.
I agree. I need to be more disciplined about that...
I occasionally look, and see squat. I think everyone's gone to MacPorts, though Homebrew is gaining a bit of traction; enough to be useful, nowhere near enough to be reliable.
Yeah, better url would help... but what is it? I mean, I don't know what the word is that describes it...

Reminds me of both billboards and those $/pixel things people did in the nineties.
I use an app I wrote to do the sha1 so the sentence is not hanging around in bash history, but I do rely on the cmd prompt at times on computers at my house. Here's a screeshot of the app: http://i.imgur.com/tz255.png

No one but me uses it. So it's bare bones.
If an advertiser is dissatisfied, he withdraws his ads and is replaced. If noone wants to advertise on controversial topics, wikipedia has more than enough uncontroversial content to pay the bills. They might even just disable ads on controversial pages, which would go a long way towards avoiding even percieved conflicts of interest.
My knee-jerk reaction was that this was stupid, but then I REALLY wanted to see what the next picture was...

Exploiting curiosity like this is kind of a neat idea.
I think the latter is a more advanced form of the original. The first is just a statement. The 2nd assumes the statement to already be true, you're just examining the possibilities of how to manifest it's "trueness".. for lack of a better word.
You are close, but a little off.

Your first citation is correct - we have to perform the usual arithmetic conversions.

In your second citation, though, you missed the very first paragraph in your picture:

> The integer promotions are performed on both operands, then the following rules apply:

(emphasis is mine).

Before you apply those rules you have to perform the "integer promotions"; they are defined in section 6.3.1.1 subsection 2 and they say, in part, that operands of rank smaller than int (which we have in this example) are converted to int first (which is what my original reply was pointing out).

Once both operands are converted to int, no more "usual arithmetic conversions" are needed, so the resulting operation is done on two ints, and the result has to be 0.

This is not implementation-defined.

(By the way your last citation is for extended integer types, which we are not dealing with here - we are dealing with the basic integer types here).
Keep your eye on the prize, and the prize isn't measured by metrics. Any prize in the real world is something complex and complicated, hard to describe and prone to squishiness.

Metrics are things that are "easy" to measure and compare across systems. Setting goals in terms of metrics is appealing and even necessary because it makes things measurable and comparable in the real world, but you need to have some cross-check where you can come back and verify that you are moving closer to your real world goal.

---

A real world example: Consumer products are often distinguished by appearance, and surface quality is an important facet of appearance. You purchase a surface quality tester and improve the measurements produced by the surface tester to the point where you beat a competitor's surface measurements. Then you have a customer clinic and have real potential customers evaluate the two products again. Customers prefer the competitor product because you were not actually measuring attractiveness or appearance of quality, you were measuring something that the surface tester measures.
The point is absolutely not that bushfires release greenhouse gas.

The primary point of concern with a bushfire is that they kill people, destroy land and property, and are incredibly difficult to control.

Having the worst bushfires in recorded history is more to do with their scale being exacerbated by climate change, rather than they themselves having a detrimental effect on the environment.
Looks like the feature was just rolled out. It was to reset my opt-out settings for nextdoor emails so that I can now receive "Emergency Alerts" with the first such instance being a road 45 minutes away being closed because it rained.

It might go without saying that I'm slightly even less impressed with Next Door than when I wrote the original comment, but it does make me think: is this product bad because of the people it attracts? Is that its fault, i.e. could it be targeted better or formatted better (think Stack Overflow vs web forums)? How could the problem be solved in a less obnoxious way?
I was waiting for something similar to the early sneak design that took a conventional pickup design and pushed it a bit.

https://www.cars.com/articles/the-week-in-tesla-news-tesla-p...

This truck design is too far out for most people. I suspect tomorrow morning Detroit will have a good laugh at Tesla's expense. Will this prove to be Tesla's Edsel?
This is a design abomination and a colossal mistake. Like many, I've been a fan of Tesla from the beginning because of the beautiful and tantalizing design language which was backed up with mind boggling performance. It made you aspire for the vehicle. Why would Tesla mess with that formula? This truck is horrendous, an absolute beast. This looks like a high school science project gone bad. I actually thought the whole thing was a joke and I was waiting for Elon to smash it with the sledge hammer at the end to reveal a prince of a vehicle underneath a frog skin. It never happened and I was speechless. Yes, the features and specs were in keeping with Tesla's awe-inspiring tradition. But, I can't say the same for the design. Elon, we're all human beings and we make mistakes. Please fix and re-do. Your company reputation and survival depend on this. I am utterly shocked and extremely disappointed.

You're being downvoted, but it's been proven police helped the rioters and even took selfies with them.

> they've gotten threats from their ISP that they have to delete certain posts or be shut down

Wow, that sucks. What ISP is that? Why can't they just take the money and host the service without censoring other people?
For cabinet members resigning, it helps them avoid being part of the decision to invoke (or not invoke) the 25th amendment. Betsy can say she resigned, rather than be faced with the decision to remove a President from office. So while not linked to Democrats at all (she was 2 weeks from losing her job anyway), resigning was politically safer.
What would explain the supply shock and the stockpiling ?
Which is fine when the leader in question ignores those minority opinions.

The problem here is that the leader is going out of his way to specifically engage and this minority group by committing as many atrocities as possible.
I spent 15 years trying to make it work, and it was a bad idea from the first day. Losses were well into six figures, without taking into account the opportunity costs of working a regular software developer job. Which is what I'm doing now, and am very happy. There is no way I would ever do it again.

The list of lessons learned is very long, much of it having to do with sunk cost fallacies and the "winners never quit" theory. I was able to keep at it so long because I had a lot of money saved up. "Fail fast" would obviously have been smarter, but I believed in the idea. (Still do, sorta, though the world went in a very different direction, high flexibility rather than high data quality.)

I have never been good at selling things. I made a million mistakes, but the main lesson learned is "just don't". Trying and failing leaves scars that "fail fast" doesn't take into account, and I'm less resilient than I had been.
They were understaffed, and it was clear that they could not protect both the building and the people. They correctly prioritized evacuating the people.
Popularity does not imply morality. 46.8% of people voted for Donald Trump (not "quite literally 1/2"), a man who is a known fraud, morally bankrupt in business and personal life, and who has shown himself to be incompetent in office. People who voted for Donald Trump should be ashamed of their vote.

That said, reading what people are saying in an effort to understand and to de-radicalize is not something to be ashamed of.
Fair. I do think the long term goal should be a compact binary format with equal or better tooling as plain text. Goodness knows there are enough formats and structural editors out there, so in principle we only need to standardize on one, but it seems none of them are actually quite good enough yet.
You're attitude doesn't make sense when put into the context that housing inflation, as a whole, tracks inflation. It's only pockets of the country which experience high rates of housing inflation.

Even if you did include it, the numbers wouldn't change. For every Seattle or Denver experiencing heavy growth in the housing markets, there's a dozen Lafayettes experiencing slow/no growth.
HTTP is unbeatable when you remove optional headers, not because of bandwidth;

but because there are robust servers that can multi-thread joint-memory access with non-blocking IO and atomic concurrency.

I use comet-stream for real-time 3D Action MMO data, so I have my own text based protocol wrapped in 2x sockets HTTP:

F.ex. message = "move|<session>|<x>,<y>,<z>|<x>,<y>,<z>,<w>|walk":

### push (client -> server):

"GET /push?data=" + message + " HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: my.host.name",

then you get back

"200 OK\r\nContent-Length: <length>\r\n\r\n<content>". In this case "0\r\n\r\n".

### pull (server -> client):

Just one request pulls infinite response chunks:

"GET /pull HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: my.host.name\r\nAccept: text/event-stream"

then you get back

"200 OK\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n".

while(true) {

<hex_length> + "\r\n"

"data:" + message + "\n\n\r\n\r\n"

}

Simple and efficient!

Text- + Event- based protocols over HTTP way outscale Binary- + Tick- based ones for compressed (as in averaged, not zipped) real-time data.
I was not alive right after WWII either and can still acknowledge that in 80s we were materially better off, despite there were troubles then too.
I couldn't see it from the introduction, but is it differently modular than old Lenovo's? Like the X220 which I use as daily driver? I guess the flexible ports layout is different but the X220 has enough anyway.
It's really tough to read this with any sense of sincerity when it uses Google fonts and "feeds the beast" that is Cloudflare.
I always preferred tabs to CVS, but how I wish our industry had made use of the ASCII record separator character. How many hours would I and my teams have saved in the last 20 years?
Are you implying they’re going to stop you from popping Ubuntu on it somehow?

[Edit: Thanks for all the replies citing driver blobs and proprietary BIOS issues, totally slipped my mind that that was a concern, makes a ton more sense now.]
What are you high on? I have no idea how you can twist that into saying it's ok he doesn't like it. The hypocrisy of people condoning this when if Trump has said anything remotely similar they'd want him to hang.

He's also passing plenty more China friendly orders but sure he's definitely not "condoning" it. This is what's called "speaking out both sides of your mouth".

This is clearly Biden saying we don't like these things in the US but I'm not gonna do a damn thing to stop China from continuing on with genocide because it's their culture.So, he will continue to pander to his moronic supporters and they'll eat it up while he does nothing.
I always think of The Sandbenders from William Gibson’s Idoru when I see projects like this.

It might be worth publishing enough of the internal CAD measurements as specs so that artists could create their own enclosures / cool addons and be sure that they will have parts access.

Anyway, my first thought was ‘will an m1 board fit in there?’ so I am looking forward to seeing your release!
He had a Top Secret clearance before he ever went to Iraq. I think it is reasonable to expect a minimal degree of introspection and self-awareness from anyone who's entrusted with a top secret clearance. We're not talking about some involuntary draftee here, as if he had top secret clearance foisted on him when he wasn't looking.
Common attitude to Comscore numbers in the Web industry is yes, their data is off, but they're under-/over-counting everyone more or less equally, so relative positions and growth numbers are generally correct.

With that said, mobile used to be Comscore's Achilles heel, not sure if they're started buying click data from mobile ISPs to rectify that. Gmail is leading US email client, and Gmail Mobile combined with Google Maps might make Google the largest mobile property.
Dependent typing would be throwing out the entire type system, and also be incredibly ambitious. Dependent type systems are great, but I think the Rust team made the right decision here.
This is an awesome summary, I get it now.
Maybe on average yes, but these averages do not represent ability to become financially independent. What they are based on is comparison of earning power of generations and other markers, such as education levels.

By these measures, if you are after 50's style middle class living, it is true, Australia offers a much better bet. Here's an article on a miner making 200k: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020462190457701...

With proper saving and conservative living, you can easily save enough to be relatively secure.

I'll keep working in tech here.
~str is mutable. error probably doesn't need a mutable string, though. either it's just an overlooked API (json is an old part of the codebase, doesn't really see a lot of attention) or what pcwalton said about calling something down the line.
"taking his story at face value requires adopting a position of spectacular naiveté."

It really doesn't. Just need ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Admittedly not easy. Hard enough to do when building an app for users, let alone analyzing someone else's life choices.
You not counting the trillions spent on military intervention in the oil-rich Middle East as a subsidy?

Germany just decided to decommission all of its nuclear power generation. That power is going to come from somewhere.
Authorized, followed @dropbox, told them why I loved it, posted about it & de-authorized Twitter, easiest 512mb I made under 30 seconds.

I thought they were required to do this. Thus all the "How I Met Your Mother" websites. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother#Websites)
Yeah, I'm sorry but I'm not clicking "Connect your Twitter account" without telling me EXACTLY what will happen afterwards.
I agree, when you look into it in that detail, but it's safe to say that full-time labor participation by women is low and certainly below 20%. Percentage of mothers who work 35 hours or more is 19 over the last 3 years.

Then again, overall full time employment is low. 40 % of all jobs are for 35 hours per week or more. Distribution of them between men and women is probably lopsided but it does take some of the punch out of the 'womens' angle of the article. It's not so much just the women who work part time, it's everybody. This was illustrated by another mistake in the article - it's not just women who have a legal right to a reduction (or increase!) in the amount of hours, but the men, too.
I connected but they didn’t post anything until I used their “Tweet about Dropbox for more free space!” button.

Presumably I could just delete their access now I’ve got my free space but I haven’t tried that.
Except for tup and ninja.

Since a lot the html5 modules (and related standards) are still being worked on, we can't expect every tech demo of the new features to work in every browser.

Apple wanted to show some very shiny html5 demos and that is fine. There is a good chance that everything shown there will be working across all the major browsers in a not too distant future. (Yes they have have to loose the vendor prefix -webkit first, but that is actually the recommended way to use non-finalized preview features of the emerging standards).

I see this as Apple pushing the html5 wagon forward, the same as the other major browser vendors do. Have you tried Internet Explorer 9 Preview demos in other browsers?

Finally the html standard is moving forward again after years of standstill. How anybody can complain about that is beyond me.

Cheers!
It's only my perceptions.

Yes, several hundreds of people had already been in space.
Space travel could be the norm in the next few decades.
Man could terraform Mars in the next millennium, or conquer the milky way galaxy five million years later.

However, I still feel like "we're stuck forever".
