Definition of "conflict with a god" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirty-Six_Dramatic_Situat... , the source of the list in OP:

- a Mortal; an Immortal
- The Mortal and the Immortal enter a conflict.

There's no way to make Groundhog Day fit this. Love's obstacles doesn't fit either:

28. Obstacles to love
- two Lovers; an Obstacle
- Two Lovers face an Obstacle together.

Here's "pursuit":

5. Pursuit
- punishment; a fugitive
- the fugitive flees punishment for a misunderstood conflict. Example: Les Misérables

"A miracle of God" is the only plot Hill didn't lift from Polti, so I guess it could be anything.

> The way you get good at playing the piano is repetition. I'm not talking about brainless repetition. I'm talking about reinforcing, improving, and strengthening certain mental pathways which happen during repetition

Well, to me piano is like sport, you get good to it by leveraging muscle memory, and when I was saying "with conscious enabled repetition" I was merely saying "no brainless repetition". I see no contradiction in our point of view here.

> Understanding arithmetic multiplication is one thing. Performing it is something else, hence the distinction between mathematics and calculation.

Multiplication was a maybe too simple example to give. Take bezier curve as a more advanced example: can you refute that you really get it threw visualization rather than by reapplying the formula on a series of homework assignation?

You are correct. Hydrogen is dead technology for mobility.
> Isn't a diet you lose weight from the very defintion of an unhealthy diet?

No. Really, healthy and unhealthy diets aren't binary categories, diets are more are less healthy than others, and there are usually going to be more healthy options than a diet on which you maintain a pre-existing unhealthy excess of body fat.

And, what those diets will have in common, is that you'll lose body fat on them (probably also weight, though that's less certain.)

> Sure, it might be what you need if you start out in an opposite but equally unhealthy state, but in the long run consistent weight loss is fatal.

In the long run, living is fatal, with a 100% mortality rate. But a diet on which you (with your current body weight) are losing weight is not necessarily one on which you will consistently lose weight without limit; one which would maintain a lower but healthy weight will cause you to lose weight while you are above that weight. And would cause you to gain weight if you are below that weight.

Garages have a big problem: "Hydrogen collects under roofs and overhangs, where it forms an explosion hazard; any building that contains a potential source of hydrogen should have good ventilation, strong ignition suppression systems for all electric devices, and preferably be designed to have a roof that can be safely blown away from the rest of the structure in an explosion." (Wikipedia)

Hydrogen storage tanks tend to leak slowly. The molecules are so small that they diffuse through solid metal.
I don't update my router often, but I did it the day HeartBleed came out. Security updates are a big deal for something that sits on your network like that.
In its natural form sugar is not singled out and thus other molecules from the fruit influence its absorption. For example, vitamin C in its oxidized form is transported by the same receptors as glucose (GLUT4) and quercetin is very good inhibitor of glucose transport.

I still doubt tho, that high quantities of fruit are good for you. One of the reasons is that current forms of fruit we eat are selected toward sweater taste.
I would consider WoW gold and Bitcoin to be mere tokens for the virtual economy. You can bind spatial terms to these tokens but those terms can be as optional as they are incidental to the exchange, we generally don't care where an exchange originates or terminates. Businesses trading internationally using ships and handshakes created the global economy, individuals trading internationally using sites and tokens created the virtual economy.

Did some testing and the user experience is surprisingly great! Didn't think git on iOS could be this easy, but I haven't tried resolving a merge conflict yet.

Looking forward to support for custom git repositories, or even better, private Gitlab servers.
That's what any VMM-style solution does, though. They use basic isolation and controlled sharing while letting problems remain in every other component. Nothing special there and doesn't address many security threats that hit other parts.

I mainly consider solutions like Qubes to be for preventing accidental leaks, containing damage from regular malware, and making recovery easier. Much like the Compartmented Mode Workstations and MILS virtualization that came before it.

Real, more-thorough security will break compatibility or take a huge performance/functionality hit. Was true in any system designed to high assurance or surviving NSA pentesting. Will be more true for whatever supports legacy applications on today's more complex, leaky ISA's/API's. CheriBSD is closest thing to an exception but I don't even trust its monolithic parts due to how attacks can jump around in a system. Nizza Architecture on non-Intel, security-enhanced processors is best model for now given we can at least isolate security-critical apps into their own partitions on tiny TCB's. No mature FOSS implements that, though.

So, regular malware defence with Qubes, etc and energy-gapped systems + KVM's + guards for high-strength attacker defence remain the options.

> First there's state level surveillance.It's a hard technical challenge and I'm not even sure those steps would help.

If the state is determined to track or identify the user, I agree this doesn't help. It might delay them a little. But I don't mind the state investigating people for legitimate reasons (e.g., under a warrant); I'm not trying to protect criminals. Also this won't protect people persecuted by repressive states - that's a very valuable goal, but outside the scope of this idea.

For dragnet surveillance I suspect this would work, simply by adding enough complexity to the task that it's not worth it for one more data point among billions.

Of course anyone could make a social graph based on my phone calls and learn a lot that way, but I don't think anonymous phone calls are possible. If I want to receive incoming calls then I have to give out my phone number; my name and number inevitably become associated. (I can think of a few weak solutions, such as having many phone numbers, but that's imperfect and impractical.)

Yes, but over sampling (over powering) a study causes issues as well due to increasing the chance of Type I Error (i.e. detecting false positives).
It should be noted that this is a very limited ruling. Only the owner can modify the car, and you can't go to a mechanic or third party to modify it (or inspect it), which will greatly restrict the application.

Also this doesn't apply to Entertainment or Telemetrics portions. So your car could be straight up spying on you, or your manufacturer can leave unpatched security holes in your "Entertainment" system (which has already been used ( http://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/syst...) to remotely hack your car), and there is nothing you can legally do. You can't even deeply look into the system to find such vulnerabilities.

I mean a win is a win, but this isn't as big as one would hope.
With that unbelievable 40% margin it seems like they could wipe out all competition by lowering their prices. I wonder if they worry that that would get them into monopoly territory and bring heavier regulation.

Like another commenter said... I wonder what the kid's evening actually looks like. Staying up until 1am sounds/smells a lot to me like the kind of household where homework gets pushed until the end of the day. I sort of speak from experience as someone who constantly was up late during my university years, and it started in late high school. It all had to do with me not doing my homework right away, putting it off, or not working on it productively. Once it started to get late though, that would light a fire under me and I'd start working faster.

Contrast that to my wife, and other people like her, who did their homework immediately after school (with a small break between of course) and got it done before dinner time, or perhaps a little after, then had some time to relax and watch some TV or chat with friends on the phone (pre-Internet days), before going to bed.
It looks like this extends the right for the author to decide on an open access publication from those who are "part of a faculty governance system" to "everyone who authors scholarly articles while employed by UC", including 'eScholarship', which is their own "Open-Access scholarly publishing services".
I guess we are getting pretty semantic. I meant simple sugars, of which glucose and fructose are two, not sucrose, which is "table sugar," and is partially fructose and glucose.

This is very true though I'm including the social infrastructure. Silicon Valley, NYC, D.C. will have infrastructural value, trusted pathways, despite what anybody does. It can shrink and grow but unlikely to happen fast as there's a practical cap to how fast humans will move or accept changes.
I like a lot of the stuff you brought up about what separates poker from other seemingly similar strategy games. Like the aspect of real cash, which makes the emotional stakes and ability to remain rational more important.
You would rather pay for uniform access, but that's not an option for the market we are discussing. Given a large market that currently has nothing because they are unable to pay for anything, would you prefer that Facebook: A) Leave them alone with nothing. Or B) Give them free access to Facebook?

Mets vs. Royals – Looking at the World Series with Data
What on Earth is a "Real" car?

My electric car drives just like a real car - only faster, quieter, and with less pollution.

90% of the time, my car is parked at home or work - so it can fully recharge over 3-4 hours. At a rapid charger it will fill up in 30 minutes.

I still don't quite see the point of creating hydrogen, shipping or piping it across the country, storing it, and regularly stopping at speciality shops in order to purchase it. We already have a existing electrical infrastructure and the reality is that most people aren't driving 400 miles every single day, so don't need to be constantly refuleing.

They must be talking about early Hanna-Barbera. Before they jumped into full limited motion Hanna-Barbera works used to be on par with the classic Disney movies.
The hopping sequences are well-known, there is actually no PRNG involved.

Of course, it'd work, assuming it was a cryptographically safe PRNG, and there was a safe key exchange.

Real-world (hobby) RC transmitters/receivers used today do not have any security. At all. (The model bind feature available on most is a safety feature only.)

(Also, there is no encryption and no authentication on any currently available (hobby) RC system I know of.
This is likely an absolutely stupid idea, but in a structure where ventilation isn't an option, what would be the impact of having a "pilot light" in areas where hydrogen accumulates? Essentially burn it off before it accumulates to the point of presenting a significant hazard.

Additionally, (perhaps primarily) if the molecules seep through a sealed tank, wouldn't they escape an overhang/roof with far more ease?
> You are assuming the education of a single class takes precedence over (...) the education of extra curricular activities

I think this is sort of in the name, extra-curricular - as in, "in addition to the stuff that's the priority".

> and the education of chores at home

Here I will have to agree with 'lordCarbonFiber. You can't have teachers asking kids to do something and then let parents arbitrarily overrule them. One of the point of public education system is that the kid gets to learn something regardless of what parents think of it. You're probably a very responsible person, but the general population is a mix of people, some of whom have ideological reasons to reject parts of science, others simply don't like math, and many are just so overworked that they'll let the kid take a break at the first sign of difficulty. It's such a random mix that you have to enforce some rules, or else the kids will propagate further the faults of their parents.

> The crux of this problem is that time spent in school is poorly spent for a host of reasons. If you child spends close to 7 hours at school and none of that time was available for the work that is expected to be done at home then that imposes an undue burden on the child and the family.

Totally, 100% agree.

Something important to consider is whether this beat analyst expectations or not. Your earnings could grow by 20%, but if the stock had priced in 25% growth then you'll still see your stock drop after a report.

The dream expressed in the article would be to have high-pressure electrolysis to produce hydrogen on-site.

I won't disagree if you think that 300+ miles/charge will come first.
Interesting. I mostly agree with your take, but I want to add a wrinkle. What I think Phil had to show for his 'day' was an appreciation that he wasn't alone in the world, and that fulfillment came through helping everyone he could along the way. I think the 'become the best person you can be' part only serves the 'do what you can for others' part, evidenced by the cycle ending on a day where every virtuoso performance, from changing a tire to playing piano, to ice sculpture, was for the benefit of someone else.

When I was in elementary school in the 90s, they used to try to scare us into working harder by telling us stories about how Japanese kids went to school half a day on Saturday.

Maybe in this situation, if you're going to divulge an idea to someone, do it very publicly (Twitter, company Slack, etc) so all can see you as the source and judge the idea-thieves for themselves.
I never understood what was unique about this company. I worked for a company over a decade ago that did a clinical trail for a bacterial pneumonia micro-assay at Arup Labs in SLC. This seemed like the same thing but with a lot more fanfare. I called some folks I used to work with to check if I was missing something and they felt the same.

The question is, how do you know how much is to be gained, unless you try? Just because you see most customers being on high speed connections most of the time doesn't mean much: for one, it could be because otherwise it's so bad no one does it; plus, a better experience for slow connections/older devices is quite likely to translate to better experience for everyone.

Otherwise, you might figure it out when you suddenly lose most of your users to a competitor who offers a snappier experience.

Why It's Tough to Make Money in Merger-Arbitrage
Good ideas except I think the whole concept of fancy smoke detectors is really bad, including the Nest Protect. A smoke detector is something you want to be as simple and reliable as possible, and operate independently. They shouldn't be prone to software bugs, or be reprogrammable or controlled from a network so they can be compromised.
If you ever decide to get an AP that supports 802.11ac, and decide to purchase one from UBNT, I strongly recommend not purchasing the square ones. Pick up an AC-LITE, LR, or PRO.

Hydrogen allows the existing supply chain (ie centralized fueling providers) to survive. Electric vehicles causes it/them to die a slow death (think about those 170K gas stations across the US that aren't needed anymore).
