You seem to advocate lowering the interest rate. The interest rate is currently -0.3% and we've just heard Draghi promise (over 10 times in a single meeting) that he'll lower it further.

What makes you think Greece could lower it's interest rate from that point ?
On the one hand, any loudspeaker amplifier with feedback is going to have very low output impedance (minimum acceptable damping factor of 20 with an 8 ohm load or .4 ohms max). So for at home, AC powered use just hook your headphones to the speaker outputs.

On the other, things do get interesting with low power / battery powered amplifiers, for example where they use a low power OP-amp for headphone drivers. For this case, the article is very relevant.

Heh, or get headphones with nearly flat impedance, for example Sony MDR-v600: http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/headphone_impedance.htm
Is it as important that kids clothing fits precisely though? I mean, evidently it is to you but I would I would have thought parents would be happy that the kids look decent enough. You even point out their rapid growth so it's not like they're going to be continuously wearing the perfect fit all the time. Buy slightly big and they grow in to it.
Do a Google search for: texas dead last You'll find things like Texas being the worst in terms of:

Highest percentage of residents over age 25 without a high school diploma

Lowest funding of mental health care

Lowest funding of legal services for the poor

Lowest average credit score

Lowest voter participation

Highest percentage of uninsured residents

Highest per-capita gasoline consumption

Highest level of cancer-causing compounds released into the air/ground/water

Searching on other factors reveals other bits, like that Texas is:

40th in obesity

48th in child immunizations

46th in teen pregnancy

These are from a ton of different news stories and statistical summaries from 2008-2015, so I'm sure a bunch are out of date. The point being that in many ways the Texas stereotype is backed up by real-world data. It's also interesting to see the things that Texas is good at that you would not expect based on stereotypes of Texas like levels of smoking (5th), drug deaths (7th), etc.
A lot of car dealerships nowadays will finance repairs or maintenance.

I don't know about how available the same kind of credit facility is to independent mechanics (dealerships tend to be pretty cozy with banks/financiers for obvious reasons), but that would probably be a good place to start.

I rarely go to wal-mart because it's disorganized, often messy, and always crowded. Even with every register open, they just can't keep up with throughput, and bottleneck the checkout process.

The one I go to when visiting Arkansas is better in almost every way, possibly owing to attention of the "home" regional management.

So this is really the fundamental disagreement. What makes you think that running a WebSigned app in a browser is significantly more exploitable than a native app?

The way I see it, the worst thing that can be said about WebSign is that it breaks the chain of trust — i.e. that first download is implicitly trusted without any validation from a root certificate preloaded on the OS, whereas an app installed through a well designed package manager wouldn't have that problem. However, downloading a regular old executable through HTTPS is no different, and I don't see you calling that out in the same way.

Beyond that issue, I would argue that the browser sandbox offers a more sophisticated and well vetted layer of protection than you would see in just about any native app framework, which leaves XSS as the primary risk (and Cyph has never had a known XSS bug anyway).
It's odd to complain specifically about subjectivity of the prior when the likelihood is often just as subjective. Gelman puts this well here:

They intentionally understaff their checkout stations to cut labor costs. A far cry from the 80's and early 90's when Walton still held sway over operations and was able to impose strict waiting limits for customers.
The main feature that I miss from CLion is the ability to refactor. In CLion you can rename a class, and all of its usages, declarations, etc. will be renamed.

The most useful thing CLion can do is change the signature of a function, and its corresponding implementation and header declarations will be changed. So, you can rename a parameter and its declaration and implementation will be renamed for you, or you can delete a parameter, or change the type of a parameter, and CLion will change all its usages/definitions/declarations for you. All of this effects across all files in your project, so if you're in a .cpp file and you change the function signature, its declaration in the corresponding .h file will change as well.

(I believe you can do all of this in Eclipse as well)

Sadly I have yet to see a vim/emacs configuration that gets anywhere near the level of Eclipse/CLion.

A repo with some code isn't very interesting or easy to get excited about, and I bet if I took the description in the README and sketched/outlined what I imagined the end result to be it wouldn't be what you are thinking of.

You misunderstood. When I say "people want twice as much before working", I mean a marginal doubling. If I'm working for a marginal $10 doing unfun work because I need to feed myself, and I'm given basic income, I might say "hey, I'm not willing to do that same work unless I get $20 an hour for it". I might prefer "do nothing and collect BI" to "work for $10 and get BI".

>It might even allow employers to pay them less, because the UBI would remove the need to have a minimum wage. So someone who was making $15K/year full time at minimum wage who is now getting $12K/year UBI may now have to accept $12K/year in wages because the market for unskilled labor is highly competitive and $24K/year in total income is highly preferable to $12K.

It's not obvious which way it would go. I think my scenario above is plausible, but yours is as well.

But in your scenario, why wouldn't the employer capture the entire difference, or a larger part of it? Even if they pay $16k, that's still better than 12k. Or, maybe they'd work less hours.

I think that a more robust analysis than these kinds of handwaving arguments is needed. It's not a simple question.
Is there a good resource for learning all this crazy stuff?
For anyone keeping track at home, Bootstrap is 25KB, gzipped, with all modules included. If you don't include all the modules/stylesheets, you can easily get it down to half that. Milligram is 2.7KB.

Still, I like the flexbox-based grid.

Great example of a micro-library. Small, does one thing and does it well.
1. Basic income would need to be more than welfare, if people can't live completely off welfare easily.
2. Many people oppose welfare that doesn't require a job precisely because of the societal costs to the disincentive to work.
Doesn't this get in the way if you're doing graphical work where you need to know the colours are right?
> To answer your question, financial e-mails are more likely to be mislabelled as personal than as professional, but not as often as it labels them correctly.

Yes, but how likely is each mislabelling? There is no scale to indicate how the colors map onto probabilities.

As well as providing a scale, it would be helpful to make the heatmap an annotated heatmap, in which each square is labelled with the corresponding value (perhaps with values below some threshold omitted to reduce clutter).

Example: https://web.stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/_images/s...

(from the Seaborn docs: https://web.stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/generated...)

Edit: Consider another question - If an email has the true label 'Financial', is it more likely to be mislabeled or correctly labelled? I can guess, but without more knowledge of the scale I can't be certain.
Except that it has nothing to do with Netflix, more likely due to copyright/licensing regulation in your country.

Edit:

TL;DR

1) Mr. Elliot and Ms. Guthrie met in person to discuss design work. Elliot is a graphic designer. Guthrie thought he was creepy and they don't agree on stuff. But relationship is not yet hostile.

2) Guthrie publishes on Twitter the info of the person who made the Anita Sarkiesian game. Elliot disagrees and gets blocked.

3) Elliot makes comments about AIDs and uses slurs. "His language is vulgar and sometimes obscene, and once inexplicably homophobic."

After reading this I give up.

On the same day, Ms. Reilly tweeted with a period before
Mr. Elliott’s handle so that not only his followers but the“
whole world”would see it, according to her evidence:“.@greg_a_elliott Just couldn’t ignore me, huh? Leave me the fuck alone.” However, the space between the period and his handle, perhaps a typographical error, may mean that it did not have this effect.

Twitter scares me.
Have any consumer advocacy-type people compared LendUp's APRs and terms with that of traditional payday loan companies? 203% to 755% APR for a first-time borrower sounds comparable to what many others already offer. How much of a better deal are you getting?

I would like to see payday/title loans and other debt traps legislated off the market completely, and at those APRs, I don't see how this is substantially different.
At some point - probably sooner than we expect - the hot new system-on-a-chip will have a built-in baseband processor and (probably software) radio.

This article is completely silent on QA. You have to be able to commit code that isn't finished so it can be reviewed and tested (as well as for disaster recovery), yet you don't want other people building on it because it might have severe problems.
It's quite funny actually: "The Japanese text incorporated in the brand's logo—極度乾燥(しなさい) (kyokudo kansō (shinasai)?)—literally translates as "Maximum dry (please do)", the text in brackets being due to the translation software used offering alternatives depending on whether dry is intended as a noun (e.g., super dryness) or an imperative, (e.g., dry this shirt out)."

Thanks for looking into this and your suggestions.

I think the salary bands per region is an interesting idea. If we would have these today we would put them up.

In some functions (for example finance) we have part-time team members. But in a fast growing startup it makes sense to have many full-time people to reduce (communication) overhead. We are prepared to pay up where that is needed. We do allow flexible workdays for everyone. And based on ability and responsibility we also consider 4 day workweeks.

The map at the top is something we invite all our team members to join. Currently we don't have any engineers living in SF/NYC. We do have other team members in sales, finance and marketing living in SF and NYC. I do expect us to higher one or two engineers in SF in the coming months.

Some of their issues were with the measurement system (English vs metric) and order of dimensions (length * width * height or width * length * height).

I can see a turk system where they show a picture of the product and ask if the unit of measurement looks correct (being 2.5x off is pretty easy to guess) and if the order looks correct. They might not get the width and the length correct but the height could probably be guessed. Course that can probably be done with computer vision.

So for $75k they could get it so at least the product would fit on the shelving units. That could easily pay for itself in a day. Products that failed these two simple tests should be looked at more closely for other issues.
Making an argument that not having kids is an extremely bad decision for whatever subgroup you are part of is trivial. The only exception would be if all possible subgroups agreed this, which seems impossible. Any group of people choosing to do this would, of course, be doomed. So let's analyze what happens to the number of kids.

Since there is competition you're even making it easier for other groups to have kids, and therefore more kids will come from them. So the result of having less kids results in more kids, especially in the subsequent generations. (assuming you're unwilling to do what China does to limit kids)

So for any individual the choice is simple, but indirect. 2 options:

Either one doesn't believe your argument about less kids is better. Obviously those will have kids.

Or one does believe your argument about having less kids, as less kids will minimize suffering. In this case, you should have kids.

So there is no moral argument either way. But of course we know reality : kids are a burden. People are refusing to have kids because it would (at the moment) affect them negatively. I have a large family, and so I can compare the situation of older people having (lots of) kids to the situation of older people who are alone. I don't agree that for an individual not having kids is better, in fact it is far worse.

But a shortsighted view that for 10-20 years having kids will be a burden that prevents them from realizing their dreams is quite common. And I can certainly understand that argument even if I do disagree with it.

But "the good of the human race" is a horrible, misguided reason not to have kids. It is good for the human race to have a minimum number of kids (I'd guess about 2.1 on average).
Zero is the number of software security researchers who would agree with you that a program booted from a web page via content-controlled Javascript code running in a browser tab is as secure as a native application.

The first sentence reads: "'Include what you use' means this: for every symbol (type, function variable, or macro) that you use in foo.cc, either foo.cc or foo.h should #include a .h file that exports the declaration of that symbol."

For clarity and correctness, I think it should be changed to: "'Include what you use' means this: for every symbol (type, function variable, or macro) that you use in foo.cc that is not declared in foo.cc, either foo.cc or foo.h should #include a .h file that exports the declaration of that symbol."

Not having that phrase tripped me up for a few minutes. I guess everyone else thinks it's implied, but for some reason that wasn't clear to me until I read through more of their documentation.

My programming lecturer used to say "programming is the process of breaking a problem down so a high speed idiot can understand it, if you don't understand the problem then you can't explain it".

He also said that a programmers most useful tool was a pencil and a 5mm square A4 pad.

After years of solving thorny problems by getting away from the screen and scribbling in a pad I can't say he was wrong.

It looks like it's comparable for a first-time borrower, as you say, and then gets better as you build a history of repayment with them.

I haven't used payday loan services myself, but from what I've read, I have an easy time believing that incumbents in that market don't use their own borrower repayment information very effectively.
If this was a formal paper, and if the code hadn't been freely available, I'd have agreed with you.

"BI can't be static, and will have to be tied to the affordability of basic necessities like housing and transportation. As prices rise, so must BI, or it's not BI."

I could not disagree more.

(Or if you want to nitpick definitions and insist that you've defined BI the one true way, then we can be pedantic and say I strongly oppose BI and strongly support a system that is very nearly BI but for this difference...)

I believe that a basic income at an appropriate level will, over time, increase productivity. But I also believe that the result of a basic income higher than the economy can support is a high level of inflation. If we don't raise BI in response, that's naturally self-correcting. I don't want to remove that safeguard.

Increasing it at (or slightly faster than) targeted inflation sounds advisable. We should not increase it based on predicted or observed inflation.

About 6 months ago I looked for a an alternative to a MacBook. Price was not a factor. I came from an old thinkpad T400. Keyboard was great.

What I wanted was a damn trackpad that was awesome. I spent a lot of time in different stores trying various laptops and their trackpad. Nothing came close. So I ended up with an Macbook. All in all they are solid workhorses that take a lot of abuse. The biggest gripe is that updates tend to make everything more unstable and my battery life is going to shit with El Capitan.

This is why the leveraged systems integrator consulting model (i.e. Accenture, Deloitte, etc.) is inherently flawed. If only these firms would take a few experience senior people (as opposed to a tiered leveraged or pyramid hierarchy with tons of juniors at high margins) and implement the systems I think they would find a lot less failures.

The waveform you are trying to reproduce, though, was mixed and mastered by a guy on studio monitors or similar, and in such a way that it would sound appropriate on the systems his audience is going to use.. or some version thereof. He's not pushing things to the limit of what his studio setup can produce, because that's going to sound like crap anywhere else.

What you listen on to master isn't necessarily what you'd listen on for fun.

If you were taking raw recordings of something with mics with really flat response curves, and wanted to play it back as accurately as possible, this would hold - but that's not the case. It's all about what sounds good to you.
