I've been using the Wink hub with a variety of different z-wave light switches, electrical outlets, plug adapters, and even a thermostat for the last 6 months. I DEFINITELY feel like the Wink hub is the weak link. It needs resetting frequently enough that I don't really trust that I'll be able to turn on my heat remotely when coming back from vacation, so my neighbor is usually on notice for manual backup (let himself in, turn on the heat).

Just today I was reading about the SmartThings Hub (Samsung) and the Casa Verde Vera Lite- It really seems like the Hub is where the polish needs applying in HA. I can link the Wink to my Echo and control things very easily, adding new things is relatively easy, but jeez that Wink hub is finicky.
Also something to note that SSRI withdrawals are on par with heroin or benzo withdrawals, if you decide to quit you need to tell your doctor and have a tapering plan. If you've been taking SSRIs long term and try to quit cold turkey your life will be a living hell.
> Some people will no doubt chime in that they are sure that my brain developed a dependency on the drugs and the return of my symptoms was simply that dependency asserting itself. Maybe, but probably not?

Even if it is, does it matter? If the drugs aren't hurting you in other ways then why not stay on them? Especially if you can get off for a while without becoming ill immediately.

The reason you think this way is because magnets fall off by the power of 5 (approximately, it's not a specific number, but depends on the geometry of the magnet), because of the two poles.

If on the other hand you played around with charged objects (which are monopoles like gravity) your intuition would work better for this. But unlike magnets highly charged objects are not commonly found around the house.

----------

Also the second one is debatable - the acceleration of one magnet to another is higher that the acceleration of an object falling on earth.

Even a lightly charged object can accelerate another object at greater than what the earth can manage.

The reason I use acceleration to measure gross force is because gravity (and charge) depend on the product of the two objects and distance - the only single number you can assign a single object is acceleration and even that depends on distance.

As a big college football fan, SlingTV has been awesome for me. It's about $15/month, and I get ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Goal Line (or something like that), SEC Network, and a bunch of other junk I don't watch.

I've been able to watch about 60% of my school's games this year on it, and the quality is outstanding.
My friend developed an online ordering app for busy bars called SpeedeTab.[1] Being able to order a drink and pay at the same time from a phone is very nice. When the drink is ready the phone gets a push notification. The bartender verifies the transaction number of the phone. Because they are doing credit card transactions in bulk they got a very decent discount and they passed that onto the bars and coffee shops like you mentioned with LevelUp. For restaurants, getting the transaction fees at around 1% is a big deal because that is a lot of the net profit. I haven't heard about LevelUp yet, lot has changed in the past 10 years, and I'm out of the loop now.

This happens because the receptors to which the drug binds are saturated at a concentration lower than that produced by the dose you're taking. So basically everything over 100mg/d is just going straight out via your kidneys, and you can taper down from whatever dosage to there in more or less whatever fashion you please because none of it has a meaningful effect on your brain chemistry in any case.

I remember well. The Iraq Resolution had resounding support among the public, as well. One act of bipartisanship doesn't prove your point -- but I suspect that "we were capitulating to the Bush administration" is a better post-hoc rationalization among the Democratic base than is "we agreed with the Iraq war."

The actual question is: how did Democrats see their role as the opposition party? Did they think it was their job to find common ground with the majority party, or did they dig in and fight as hard as they could?

Luckily we had newspapers back then:

> already been feeling the heat

I think you're misdiagnosing where Tor is "feeling the heat" from. From an engineering perspective, it's been oversold as solving problems it can never hope to.

People who route their traffic through Tor are nearly guaranteed to get malware back [1]. Hidden Services are a hack that don't adequately protect your privacy [2]. And several who have staked their livelihood on being anonymous with Tor have been easily identified by law enforcement [3].

Tor is not a "cause" worth the this level of continued support. It is a research project, for a tightly scoped set of a research problems. In practice, it has several unintended and dangerous caveats that few are aware of. No amount of litigation is going to change those problems.

Robots have a hard time recommending unpopular items because they lack the context to differentiate between and good and bad. They'd have to be able to listen to music and make cross-referencing judgments about quality. Are the musicians playing well? Are the lyrics any good? Is the style original? Is the recording good? Is it cheesy? Does it try to imitate another song? Is it a good cover? Does it work in spite of a lot of negative indicators? Is it a nice complement to the songs before and after? etc.

But if you want to find hits in a genre + time period that you don't know very well, recommendation engines are pretty good, and you don't need to have DJs for that.
Honestly, it seems like a false positive is just Libel.

I hate to be the one, but I wonder if Jenny McCarthy is looking into this research as a possible alternative explanation for what she went through.
Of course, but making an informed choice means discussing it with your doctor, and balancing a very small (yes it is, read the abstract) additional chance of ASD against a practical guarantee of biochemical upheaval, for mother and baby both, which will result from discontinuing an SSRI.
that sounds like ignoring practice in favor of theory. when your boss asks you to build them something, you dont ask finer and more detailed questions until you have gotten them to write the code. i think its bad to let the lowest common denominator dictate our legislative policy- the lowest common denominator is going to fuck you over regardless.
Why would a pilot be distracted by a drone?
The current way separates out what will be gotten back from the engine from the actual invocation. In comparison, the proposal lets me look at one line and know what will be returned:

rng.uniform(1,17)

I know exactly what to expect. Compare that to:

uniform_dist(e);

Unless the variable is named very well ("UniformDistOneToSix"?), I don't know what that line does.

Not to mention, what if I want to roll a bunch of numbers in a row? Do I create all the different distributions that I may ever need ahead of time? If I don't know what all random ranges I'll need, I guess I can just create them on the stack as needed, instantiating objects willy nilly. Eew.
OHSA should, but they are not experts in the field. Nobody is. Circus is a constantly evolving practice. Everything is new. EveryONE is new. The stages are all temp installs. And there are only ever a couple hundred people in the country doing this sort of act at any one time. There are some old hats, but there isn;t that large community needed to establish was are and aren't statistically safe practices.

OSHA does well with factories where thousands of people perform the same actions thousands of time. They do not do well with one-off jobs.

Imagine being an OHSA inspector, an expert in fall arrest, and walking into a scene where an acrobat was hanging by a single wire rope (no backup device or soft spot) over a tank of water, in total darkness, while on fire ... and the tank is full of live killer whales. And the whole rig was build last month and will probably be torn down in a couple months. Such a scenario isn't much of an exaggeration.

Running a headline "Some Common X doubles the risk of Something Very Bad" without giving the baseline risk of Something Very Bad is just fear-mongering.
It does matter that we gave up five Taliban commanders for him, if you're interested in winning the war. The president should have weighed the costs and benefits -- among the costs could be this wacky idea that soldiers will abandon unpopular soldiers and call it desertion if Bowe weren't brought home (seriously, why this convoluted hypothetical? Such a conspiracy, if it were to happen, would hopefully be reported and punished).

Soldiers morale is also hurt when a deserter is given high honors from a disinterested and cynical administration.

You seem to think that "macro-level political thing" (a concept I'm perfectly capable of understanding, even if I'm a dumb vet) is an excuse for bad decisions -- or maybe you're so cynical that you don't think it's worth caring about. I disagree.
It is, in fact, possible that some aspect of a negotiation can be beneficial to both parties, but not for the reasons the parent suggested.

If we assume that your minimum bid is in fact below their maximum offer, then the market should clear: you should get hired. Under such circumstances, anything preventing a successful conclusion to the negotiations is harmful to both parties, since there exists a price at which both sides would be satisfied that they're getting more value than they're giving. Therefore, anything eliminating or preventing such an obstacle from arising is beneficial to both parties.

The corollary is that employers who insist on "social proof" place themselves at a disadvantage; they're less able to hire, and the people they do hire will likely be inferior. They are giving up value every time they enter negotiations, not by overpaying but by failing to engage in beneficial transactions. Those hidden costs can be, and often are, far greater than overpaying by some small percentage on the transactions in which they do engage.
I don't see how encouraging caution is manipulative. Although we know SSRIs work, we're still figuring out exactly how they work, and we know even less about developing fetuses and the effects of SSRIs on them. The gold standard for care is $reward > $risk; with many medicines we can define $risk pretty darn well. With SSRIs we can't. Saying "we just don't know" or "here are the correlations we've found so far" is a good thing, as is reminding folks -- and ourselves -- of how science has failed us in the past. Women should be empowered to make informed choices, but we need the information to inform them with.
The Cross-Border Marketplace Automation Platform
Actually, it's a misleading title. There's association, but there's no proven causation. Here's the quote:

>This study is consistent with other studies on the same research question. Each study is observational because randomized controlled trials are not ethically possible during pregnancy. Hence, each study is describing an association. The accumulation of such findings will lead to causation

It's observational study, i.e. a study which can only show association. You can easily think of many reasons why you might get such a result. For example, depression and autism might have overlapping genes, and having such gene, results in depression in mother and higher risk of autism in a child.
I am looking for a music player that plays playlists in a more intelligent way. If I rated a song with 5 stars it should be played more often in a random fashion then a song with 3 stars. And I never want to hear again a 1 star song, and rarely a 2 star song. If I press the next/skip button while a song is playing, it should decrease the star rating after the second time. If I play a song two or three times in a row it should increase the star rating.

The Fed's model is broken.

Employment might be up, but wages (except for executives) have been stagnant for well over a decade. Retailers have been squeezing suppliers in order to maintain low prices (hello Costco, Walmart!). Discretionary spending is low due to under-employment in many sectors.

BTW: the "unemployment" figures fail to take into account people who are no longer looking for work and even worse, the masses of underemployed, people who can barely make ends meet.
This is basically the problem with the whole Internet though ;)

On top of that, the cars can communicate more and faster than the drivers, and can be programmed to collaborate with the other vehicles. So you can have stuff like the cars in a packed highway opening up a diagonal for a car in the left lane to take an exit on the right.
All the Product Placements in Terminator Genisys
That page is helpful, but it looks to me that it is mainly from a group of hackers who have reverse engineered things. I'm appreciative of that and would find it really useful had I inherited an existing system. But I don't particularly want to buy into a new system that relies on reverse engineering rather than normative documentation. If I'm going to be spending money and have the luxury of choosing the system to use, I'd prefer a system that is better than that.
It depends on the person and I guess on the particular SSRI as well. In my case, I could (and did) go from normal dose to zero immediately, and I wouldn't notice any difference until few weeks later when my average mood and productivity started to visibly deteriorate.

Anyway, SSRIs are relatively safe - that's why they're deployed as entry-level antidepressants. There are many "heavier" options available. Getting on an SSRI is far from last resort.
I use my iPad most times too (indoor). But outside, I switch to my Kindle as e-paper display can be read everywhere and there are no annoying reflections. Also at least Kindle lets you sync your books, so you can continue reading at the same position on a different device (app) later.

Counterexamples of Type Classes
>The mobile bonanza (well, that one company who gets majority of revenue from hardware) in last couple of years perverted the word "upgrade" from "a software upgrade, which adds new features and ads value to existing purchased product", to "needing to buy a new device to keep on going with existing performance". I'm happy to see this hasn't spread to the desktop PC. Yet.

I can't tell if you are joking, honestly. If you remember the '80s and the '90s and the early to mid aughts, there was a joke about how "what Intel gives, Microsoft takes away" - the idea was that every few years, you needed to buy a new and dramatically faster PC to do exactly the same sorts of things you would do before. This PC would be massively faster than the last one you bought, and it would probably cost a little bit less. Microsoft would come up with a new version of windows or office that you needed to upgrade to if you wanted to be able to open documents from other people in the office, and that new version would require a new and much more powerful computer. Especially by the '90s, a lot of times these software upgrades felt really pointless, like your stuff was getting slower, but you didn't get any better features.

Around the time that everyone quit writing PC software and focused on the mobile bonanza, as you put it, this seemed to stop. Old PCs are just fine for workstations. but, of course, now the upgrade treadmill is on mobile.
Why not specify the algorithm for std::rand?

The specification, as far as I'm aware, gives no guarantees at all about the algorithm used. Why not just specify a good algorithm instead of adding a new function?
So you think some people should be able to form a business like Uber or Lyft, but you don't think other people, such as their contractors, should be able to form their own business for the purpose of negotiating collectively?

Because that's all a union is: it's a business. Laws are only required because, as history shows, wealthy business owners want/wanted a completely, and in many cases, illegally, tilted playing field.

Unions are a significant part of the reason that there's a middle class at all.

I have mixed opinions on the new assistive technology. Blind-spot monitoring is pretty good - it's not intrusive (just a yellow light in your outside mirror) and can save you from an embarrassing accident.

Same with the ultrasonic/radar parking assist. I rarely parallel park (there just aren't that many of that style parking spots any more) so the system really helps me judge where the back corners of the car are. I understand that backup cameras will be required in all new US cars soon.

The lane-keeping systems OTOH are just plain annoying. Whether they vibrate the steering wheel or give it a nudge, they have no situational awareness. Like when I'm crowding the inside lane to ensure I clear a cyclist in the bike lane.
"This is like Apple saying "Laptops from other brands are no longer supported on Airport wireless networks so that we can ensure devices are fully compatible." It's a huge dick move on Philips's part."

And in their faq about this (http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/friends-hue-...) they have the nerve to say things like:

"If the lights are not deleted, nor the bridge reset they will continue to function under no guarantees from Philips that future updates may not expose new bugs and compatibility issues."

and

"We want Philips Hue to be open but also offer a great experience for our customers. To that end, last week, we launched the 'Friends of Hue' program where we will certify and test 3rd party products to guarantee a consistent and long term interoperable experience also for these products."
