Amazon is not broke either. It announced a profit on the full company for Q3. Also hidden underneath the results is AWS, which has a 25% profit margin [1] that appears to be growing. At the current rate AWS is going to float the entire company.

Ok, it's probably general knowledge that soda, candy etc. can cause cavities. What obviously is not common knowledge is that, with a good diet, it's possible to go through your whole life without getting a single cavity. Weston A.

I live in Canada but visit the US at least once a year. Nearly every grocery store and restaurant has NFC terminals now.

We're constantly blocked from access to great online content and we can't order products from the US without great expense. But the moment I step foot on US soil and try to buy something, I feel like I'm in the credit card dark ages.

It's funny, we have all these NFC credit card terminals, but Apple Pay still hasn't launched here.

Yeah. The whole thing about these tests is that it's like testing whether you can tell a solid black box in an 8bit or 16bit png.

I am one of those people. The oral surgeon offered me the option of being put under for an extra $600 for the 45-minute operation. There are probably things I'd pay $800/hr for, but that wasn't one of them. He seemed kinda irritated; that meant he had to give me something like 16 shots to properly numb everything.

Personally, I didn't mind it. It was an interesting experience. I knew I was made of meat, but the smell of bits of it cooking really brought it home. And as you say, the sound was kinda freaky. But it was a good opportunity to practice keeping the mind centered and following the breath. Plus now I can joke that I learned to transcend dental medication.

Threatening to sue (or actually suing) is by definition never something that has legal consequences in this country. Law suits are the way of saying "We cannot agree, the state shall decide".

Interesting demo! Thank you for sharing.
That isn't that simple, as there is a cultural component in the order authors are listed (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_authorship#Order_of...)

Also, at CERN, with papers with 1000+ authors, any chance of picking the 'right' name from the list approaches zero, anyways. Such papers typically list a "corresponding author" to whom to send inquiries.

Alphabetic order also gave us the fun Google search phrase "Does G. Aad exist?" (Gives a link to https://jeffollerton.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/does-gaad-exis..., but Google also suggests a correction to your "typo")
I refused to buy a college parking sticker. I pay tuition to go to the school, why do I have to pay to park there? Luckily, I was a night student, so I would park in the visitors parking and set up my classes so I would get out at about the same time the night crew got off (something like 9pm).

I even spent a couple semesters waiting in the parking lot an hour after class. I would read a book, program, or study for that hour.

Once I was late, and visitors was full, so I parked in the regular parking, which promptly got me a ticket. I didn't pay, and they eventually sent the ticket to my address. I called the school and told them I wasn't responsible as I had sold the car to another student, and it was their ticket, not mine. They bought the story and removed the ticket.

I am fully aware that a NIMBY neighborhood, such as the one near the sign, would actually tar-and-feather the first person who tried to treat the invading tourists as anything other than vermin to be eliminated.

I was simply making a modest proposal, to contrast against the actual efforts of the local homeowners to discourage tourist traffic.

For instance, a while ago, I agreed to go with my family to Grand Canyon national park. I had but one condition: under no circumstances would I be asked to buy anything at any gift shop filled with touristy crap, nor even be requested to enter one. And guess what happened. We still spent over three consecutive hours in a thrice-cursed gift shop, wherein I was asked repeatedly to buy junk of the lowest quality. That was more time than was spent looking at the actual canyon, for which there was no additional charge beyond the cost of park admission.

That kindled a great fight, which everybody lost.

More recently, we visited New Orleans. My sole condition of the pre-trip planning was "No French Quarter." And guess what happened. My matrifornicating in-laws wanted to eat dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. On deity-despised Bourbon Street.

So I find that the single most effective way to make me passionately hate your locale and avoid it like an Ebola-infected bat roost forevermore is to make it into a tourist trap.
Small social groups have always found a home online. It was called Usenet, internet forums, IRC, mailing lists, etc. The only difference with Slack and other stuff is that the user interface is slightly shinier.

Are you talking about anaesthesia in the sense of general anaesthesia (loss of consciousness and all that)?

Because that's really not needed for a root canal. I've had many and generally the dentist will make an injection to numb the nerve, have you wait 15 minutes, and start working. In case of discomfort they'll give an extra injection.

In Finland one of the surefire offensive things to ask a person is "how much do you make?". The person cannot answer that "right" even if he lies. Any income threshold will make you either capitalist pig, or poor loser in someones eye. And you never know when and who thinks that.

Our independence started with communist vs. capitalist war and continued with Finns vs. Soviet war. Some people still think that if you belong to the wrong class, you are almost a murderer. (Asking about party affiliation is taboo too.)

So people find it very interesting because it's taboo. Older generation of men assume that you spend your excess income in cars. And they talk a lot about cars.

I don't know what you understand that I "imply."

I asked for any proof that this guy is "spreading lies" about her which are the words that journalist, Jessikka Aro, actually used in her article we all comment to. I see just somebody who disagrees with her own views.

I don't have "translate" button on Twitter, I guess I'd have to be logged in for that, and I don't have an account. The twit you link to is just "Read it. Strong claims, but where was the investigation?" and it's a comment to the article you previously linked to. Is that supposed to be a propaganda tweet?

The second link you gave is in Finish, and, now that you mention that you gave "more links," (I've read only one that was in English) I've tried Google translate on it, and the only thing I see is his own review of some book with the similar subject as the Jessikka Aro's article you linked to, and his claim is more or less also "Strong claims, but where's the support that it's anything more than the communication she quotes is anything else but opinion of real Finns?" Of course, I haven't read the book, but if it has similarity to the article, I understand his criticism.

So this is really getting boring, so much claims, so little of anything more than "he said she said." Sad.
Had two of mine out last year, one impacted, one cracked.

Both under local, first came out in <20 minutes and was entirely routine, 2nd took 40 odd minutes and was on the upper limit of the torque the dentist could apply, it fought her every step of the way - after it was done she asked if she could put it in bleach and send it to the Uni as it was (her words) the largest wisdom tooth I've ever seen.

Neither was fun but the dentist was lovely and the local worked well, I took her a box of chocolates and a card a few days later to say thank you for taking care of me.

Whether a person prefers 8, 16, or 24 bit is besides the point and has to do with their tastes.
That article clearly debunks any arguments saying that 24 bit is superior in re-creating reality. In fact he makes some points against it.

I love the analogy about a television that can display UV rays.
"In 2009, a Wayne County assistant prosecuting attorney noticed thousands of rape kits stacked on the shelves of a Detroit Police Department storage facility. The kits are used to collect and store DNA evidence obtained from sexual assault survivors. These particular kits had been in storage for up to 30 years, and their contents had never been processed or properly investigated."

This is appalling. One would expect solving rape and murder to be the highest priority for the police.

A quick Google shows that in 2013 there were over 3000 arrests for marijuana possession in the same county. The resources used to make those arrests could have been used instead to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators identified by those rape kits. Victims of violent crime are now also victims of the war on drugs.
Comparing frontal lobotomies (FLs) with cavity fillings is not an appropriate comparison, IMHO. FLs were always quite controversial because of the serious impairment side-effects and the danger inherent in the procedure (5% death rate during procedure). The operation caused serious brain damage to most - that was its modus operandi.

On the other hand, drilling holes in teeth seems like a low-tech solution (though I suppose that humans from years past would view it as a marked improvement from tooth-pulling), but it ultimately gets the job done, more or less, with minimal negative side-effects.

Maybe you could try something like stre.am or periscope for practicing speaking to others and of course you would greatly reduce the number of "jerks" you encounter as long as you're the only one in the conversation streaming video. (disclosure: I work for the company that makes stre.am)
Note that the 12,701 character regex is WRONG. It doesn't even match "70". Even the binary regex is wrong.

The original 32K regex pointed to in the stackexchange problem statement however is perfectly correct.

Test code:

open(F, '< /tmp/q.in');
$myre = <F>;
chomp($myre);
$myrecomp = qr/^(?:$myre)$/;
while (<>) {
chomp();
if (m/$myrecomp/) {
print "$_\n";
}
}

Examples of multiples of 7 not matched by the given regex: 70, 707, 7007, 11095

(I spent all morning trying to find the bug in my regex compiler based on the assumption that the answer there was correct)
I'm not gonna get down the rabbit hole of discussing if these students are coddled or if they behave like little kids, but it is very scary how their first reflex is always to go after the job of the person who disagrees with them.

In today's society it is incredibly violent to go after another person's job. It is what they've been doing for many years, 8 hours a day, it is a way to provide for their families. You're basically trying very hard to hurt a whole household just because one person disagrees with you.
HaaS and the future of Tesla
China was far less developed in 1800 than Europe so you probably want to push things back a few hundred years.

In terms of ocean going navigation they where significantly behind Europe starting around 1400. Of note, they sent few trade ships to Europe compared to European trading with China.

Europe had significantly more mathematical innovation.

Culturally it's hard to quantify, but while China had long had a printing press there alphabet made mass production of books significantly harder. So, by the 1600's Europe had far more books.

Things like nutrition and lifestyle are extremely hard to quantify. But, militarily Europe had significantly more advanced fortifications circa 1500's.

Yes. I did. Full extraction of upper right #2 molar.

They did topical numbing, then 4 shots in numbed area. The extractor device is 2 prongs on one side, and 1 on the other. It mates with your tooth's root. There's also a gum separator so they don't cause tissue damage.

The actual extract, if the tooth doesn't break, is about 2 minutes. And yep, it sounds like wet wood snapping, like that tree sound/feel described. If it breaks, it's called a "surgical extraction". Then they drill and pull the pieces as they come out. That can add a few minutes. Mine was in 2 pieces. They drilled for 3 seconds, and used a tweezers or something like that size. Little noticeable sound on that.

After that, you put gauze in your mouth so the area stays moist. Simple, crude, and effective.

I was in a great deal of pain with that tooth, as I had infection/cavity down to the root. I was glad to part with it, given the extensive damage.

The big question for all of the companies that want to be the last mile: can they run sufficiently profitable businesses without classifying their workers as 1099 employees?

Mark my words: most of the "on-demand" startups that are relying on contract workers are not going to be able to defeat the misclassification lawsuits they're facing. Some might have the funds to delay the inevitable by strategically settling the first cases they're hit with, but the laws and legal precedents in this area are quite straightforward.
