I fight nasty withdrawal symptoms like severe headache, fatigue, and rheumatic pains right now after not drinking coffee for two days. It feels like a really bad flu. From experience I know that this will be better very soon.

That is the reason why I want to give up coffee completely. I don't want to be addicted to a substance. I don't like to get headache or feel tired only because I choose to not drink coffee for a day. Maybe there will be a day when I can not get a coffee.

I don't drink that much coffee. A pot of coffee in the morning and usually 2 - 3 espressos during the day. I guess I am sensitive to it.

It seems likely to me that Homer's works were amalgams of stories from the period of the bronze age collapse. During this time there was a broad spectrum collapse of civilization and power structures in the Mediterranean, and there was extensive raiding from groups of folks collectively called the "sea peoples" of which the Mycenneans almost certainly were a part. The "ten years" of Odysseus's journey is likely poetic license, but given that Troy was sacked and burned in 1183 BC and the eclipse occurred only 5 years later in 1178 BC it's quite possible that there were dramatic and memorable stories around both those events which circulated in greece around those times. And then during the chaos of the Bronze age collapse and rebuilding of civilization (which took about 2 more centuries) resulted in heavy embellishment and modification of those stories until they congealed into the pseuo-mythological forms they took on before being codified into oral history (which can actually have a high accuracy of retaining details) until Homer formalized them.
The West has more sex slavery going on than anywhere else. Genital mutilation is still a thing in the West. The only thing you've got left is stoning - well, we can counter that with the factoid that the US has more prisoners in its incarcerated population than the rest of the worlds prisons' combined, and most for minor offenses.. So?

So what?

None of this means you should support a government that wantonly kills people on the other side of the planet on a whim.
'Guide': each section has many subsections. When browsing through, it's easy to become disoriented due to the 'sameness'. Numbered titles/subtitles would be easier to navigate. Syntax coloring would add life to the monotones.

'Tutorial': the dark background and proportional typeface is out of character with some of the other code examples. (I happen to prefer mono-spaced code, with syntax coloring.) Examples:

https://www.haskell.org/

http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

https://lfe.gitbooks.io/quick-start/content/2.html

Other than that, I'm not sure I'd change much else, design-wise...
I'm a bit skeptical as all of the events used for dating are quite common. The constellations would appear every spring. The new moon occurs every 28 days. The particular alignment of the two planets would probably occur at least once a year, maybe more than once. Having said that, I have not done the math and it is possible that the exact confluence of these otherwise common events is quite rare.

However, assuming that their claim is correct, it is very interesting that the timing lines up with the solar eclipse which is itself, a very rare event. What I think is even more interesting is that this level of detail was remembered hundreds of years later when Homer was writing. That, by itself, suggests that something important happened and/or that Homer was working from a very detailed history of the time. Ignoring Odysseus for the moment, the fact that the timing lines up with the ash layer that is presumed to be the destruction of Troy is very interesting, and I believe that it lends a great deal of support to the historical fact of the Trojan war and more precisely, the destruction of Troy.

EDIT: to put it another way, I find it fascinating when literary evidence lines up with archeological evidence. It is rare to get two completely independent pieces of evidence in history this old, and it simultaneously puts the archeology in context while supporting the veracity of the writing.

"Is that so?"

Yes.

"I am not sure why there would be a noticeable latency."

Even if you don't understand it, the latency will still affect you.

"Wireless keyboards and mouse works fine from a distance."

Yes, they do. That's irrelevant. They don't use wi-fi, and they transmit significantly less data than used in a video signal.

"Besides, I am not suggesting using wifi for this, but a direct radio link."

You are suggesting using wifi. Your comment, to which I responded, included a link to an HDMI stick which streams video over wifi.

I'm suggesting that the device you linked (along with every other HDMI/wi-fi stick) will not serve your purpose, due to latency.

Thanks for the video. I did my PPL in the UK so coming to America was a bit of a radio culture shock. I think "looking for traffic" and "traffic in sight" are the ICAO phraseology, and will work everywhere. Flying to France, you might confuse a French controller by saying "tally ho".

Having thought about it some more, the statement about "roger" not being allowed was probably missing some context. He probably meant it in the context of an ATC instruction that requires reading back.

Imagine how does a typical user acquisition and engagement happen. A prospect who is looking for feedback on their clothes comes across your app from a blog article or an ad, downloads it and requests for feedback. But then, you don't have many others to provide feedback - the result is that the user (who you may have acquired through content marketing or ad) stops/uninstalls your app.

So before I take up any of the other marketing ideas, I would first work on building a viral element to the app. Is there a way for me to publish this selfie along with a request to rate on Facebook? Or is there a unique URL that I can share on my twitter or even SMS to my friends? If this is in place, what I will do is that once I install the app and take a selfie, I would share it on Facebook or twitter and ask my friends to rate. Now my friends interested in rating would download the app, rate me and possibly go on to use it themselves. Now, I have a "friend network" within the app I will engage with every time I need fashion advice.

Once this is in place, I would identify all people in my Facebook network who will find such an app useful and ask them for feedback - this way, you kickstart usage within your network.

Parallely, I will also start talking to influencers on Facebook/Youtube, etc. and maybe even pay them to share their selfies.

Without a viral element, all the effort you put into marketing will come to nought.
They probably would have gotten better sales had they marketed the product for audiophiles as a HD audio medium.

Find a mechanical piano.

Gently depress and hold the keys C, E, G, C' in any octave near the middle so they don't sound. That takes the felt off the strings.

Now with the strongest finger on your other hand, wallop the D next to the initial C as hard as you can while still holding the C major chord keys. Release the D key and listen...

The harmonics damp out at different times and leave certain overtones ringing. A high pure tone is last on a well tuned piano. My joanna gives an interestingly rich range of organ-like tones first though.

Now imagine synthesising all of that dynamically for arbitrary chords, note length, pedalling &c and you have your problem space!!

Domain relevant accoustic experience: track down a recording of Charlemagne Palestine's Strumming Music and listen to it on good quality headphones. His original recording (the one with the subway train going under the building as the last notes ring) was performed on his preferred Bosendorfer Imperial piano which has an extra half octave in the Bass end of the keyboard. No music written for those notes, but they don't half change the sound.

It doesn't.

"And also, couldn't the firewall block those paths to the CDN cache directly (seeing as they do deep packet inspection) just as easily"

The paper addresses this: make an HTTPS connection to the CDN's edge server, and make a request. The GFW doesn't know the URI, so doesn't know whether you are accessing forbidden or legit content.

That is a lot of coffee. I have an Americano in the morning. If I have two it's not great for my stomach and if I have two in the morning I really better not have one again until five. If you're drinking it as your drink rather than as a stimulant try switching to tea.

TrueConf  a Secure Enterprise Video Сonferencing Platform for Webinars
On October 30, 2015, TrueConf released a new version of an enterprise video conferencing server solution, TrueConf Server 4.3.5. The update includes a new webinar feature which allows users to host public video conferences online, making communication beyond the enterprise network easy and secure.
Webinars are aimed at external users who do not have an account on the company network and allows conference hosts to broadcast organizational news, lessons or other information to the general public. Unlike cloud services, a webinar administrator using TrueConf Server has a complete control over the infrastructure of the conference, offering maximum security for the event.
The guest page where attendees join the webinar is stored on the server and can be accessed online. The conference link can be set to a user-friendly URL when creating an event on the server, making it easy for guests to find and join the webinar. Once they follow the link, the user will see the event description, the entry form, and the unique link which allows them to join from any browser or mobile device. All they have to do is enter their username and click the 'Enter as a Guest' button to join the conference.
TrueConf Server can integrate any webinar with third party websites. When the event is created, the HTML code for embedding to a web page is generated in the Web Manager. Guests can access the webinar via an embedded link, which displays information on the event and a one-click guest entry form via WebRTC.
All webinar participants receive an e-invitation when the event is scheduled. Every invitation includes a file in .ics format to integrate the event with the calendar of their choice: Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or Mozilla Thunderbird.

How to get clients after getting providers in a marketplace?
Hi, my name is Arhaan, I'm the co-founder of www.909music.com

909 Music is a royalty-free music marketplace. We have 600+ music composers who provide high quality music for video projects, films, commercials, documentaries, corporate videos, games, apps, jingles etc

Every marketplace has the problem, do we start with providers or clients?

We worked really hard for 6 months generating providers(music composers) and we have a large music database of over 15,000 tracks.

Now the problem we are facing is how to get clients/buyers(video producers) to use the platform and actively post music requests in the marketplace.

We have a good conversion rate but how do we get more video producers and youtubers to visit our site?

Who Really Found the Higgs Boson
It's very common to remove smokers from studies like this (anything looking at mortality). Smoking increases your chance of so many health issues: heart disease, lung cancer, COPD, high blood pressure, stroke, aortic aneurysm, general infection due to chronic inflammation, etc etc. It's well documented and pretty unambiguous. If you smoke, your risk of all the above increases dramatically. Which means as a researcher you can't leave these people in a study looking at mortality rates since they would confound the results too much.

Basically, the risk of confounding your results with smoking-related mortality is a bigger problem than biasing your population with fewer people who consume addictive substances.

That's a pretty messed up story, though I'm not sure it'd be a coder's worst nightmare. I'd think that'd be if some major project you were worked on got hacked... while you were enjoying the weekend off and had no access to your work computer.

Or just if your project developed a show stopping bug at that point in general, since you'd get the feeling that 'oh god, we've been done by two days' or 'we've been serving malware for two days'.

Or maybe if you'd found a breaking bug that needed fixed, yet no answers were available online, no one in the room could help and the site was due to go live that night. All that time worrying, refreshing your Stackoverflow question and trying in vain to find a solution would be torture.
There's a good explanation for this. Imagine customer X is willing to pay up to $10 for a service, and customer Y is willing to pay up to $30 for the same service. Who needs the service more? Y, right? Y really needs/wants that thing, so is appreciative of getting it. X doesn't really get much value out of it (and this is reflected in the price they're willing to pay). Even though X got a discount, they're not going to be satisfied because this wasn't the right service for them in the first place.
