Thank you for your response, a bit of a problem is that I work alone. As a freelancer. I didn't have an opportunity to work with someone who knows what he/she is doing. Sometimes when I find some nice code online, I try to grasp concepts that they are using and that seem logical.
I could probably find a job at a company in my country, and have an opportunity to work with someone experienced. But the difference in the money I would make it would be so big it's crazy.
My problem with Amino is that it seems like it's basically a shell for the Synbiota kits (synbiota.com). I met someone in Toronto a few weeks back who knows the Synbiota guys, and he said the founder of Amino and Synbiota are dating.

Which is fine, but maybe they should be open about that partnership. The Synbiota kits are kind of cool, but the Rainbow Factory kit didn't work for me as promised and they are seriously expensive.

I've always thought that the well-coiffed narrator in this "Report on the Effects of Radiation Fallout "(included in Peter Kuran's documentary Trinity and Beyond) perfectly encapsulates the attitude of the military establishment about the the known fallout hazard:

https://youtu.be/fCJm0jBuTo0?t=3820

"The development of our nuclear power has been an absolutely necessary protection against the development of the Communist threat. In this view, the few casualties, if any, must be seen as those of unidentified soldiers in a war in the service of humanity..."
Which of first or second input are we comparing the third to? If both, then I don't think you operator makes sense, since that would suggest your ~=~ operator is transitive. Since all inputs are comparable, I assume, that would mean your operator is an equivalence relation.

Due to transitivity:

A ~=~ B ~=~ C and

C ~=~ E ~=~ F implies that

A ~=~ F which would not necessarily be the case.

For instance:

Let X be a large set with many elements. Then a "reasonable intelligent human" might suggest that:

(X `union` {1}) ~=~ (X `union` {2})

And also:

(X `union` {2}) ~=~ (X `union` {3})

......
(X `union` {999999999999}) ~=~ (X `union` {1000000000000
})

which implies

(X `union` {1}) ~=~ (X `union` {1000000000000
})

, even if this is actually the case, you expect it not to be for some large enough number. Then your operator cannot be transitive, but then what use is the knowledge that input #1 is approximate equal to input #2?

But since you already "discovered" the algorithm, why not just show it, or the pseudo code, such that we could discover its true name?
Only a tiny percentage of desktop PCs are ever opened after being manufactured, never mind being upgraded. Retail components also have a high return rate. I would not bet that an analysis of desktop PC resource utilization and upgrades would tell you that upgrade-ability results in lower resource utilization.

Similar story:

My dad was part owner of the business which he got out of 10 years ago. The company went bust a couple years ago and the debt collectors started trying to get what they could.

One of those was a laundry service that would wash uniforms of the employees. My dad had signed the contract for it 25+ years ago to start the account going. On the contract it stated my dad was personally liable for owed fees. But when he originally signed it, he crossed out those 2 words (personally liable) and turned it over signed.

He pointed this out to the debt collectors when they came knocking and they stopped bothering him.

Developer here! I'd love to discuss my project with you guys.
Bound was developed for iOS using (mostly) Swift.

There are many audiobook apps on the App Store but all of them tie you to an
ecosystem or require syncing with iTunes. `Bound - Audiobooks for Dropbox` is
different. Bound lets you download your favorite audiobooks to your iPhone for
quick and easy listening. Never lose your position, even across multiple audio
files, as Bound automatically saves your location as you progress through the
book.

Bound lets you:

- Link your Dropbox account. Quickly download your audiobook files.

- Play your audiobooks in a beautiful modern interface.

- Automatically saves your listening position so you never lose your place.

- Bookmark locations while listening for reference later.

- Add custom cover art (if the default art isn't nice enough for you!).

I'll be hanging out in the comments section in case you guys want to chat!

Best,

Tim

Well, that didn't work out.

Back in the 1930s, there was a similar enthusiasm about air travel. Watch H. G. Wells "Things to Come".[1] "Wings over the World", indeed.

There was a repeat of this in the Space Age, ("We came in peace for all mankind") but that didn't last long.

Additionally it may be the case that the buyer's agent purposely withheld a buyer, hoping to low-ball the seller, assign the purchase to themselves, and then sell the property for an offer that they could have brought to the seller in the first place.

If the buyer's agent is acting on behalf of the buyer, they were under no obligation (legal certainly, nor ethical or moral, IMO) to bring that higher offer to the seller. (Real estate law and practices are hyper local; around here [MA, USA], a "buyer's agent" owes a fiduciary obligation only to the buyer and is allowed (and in fact would be required) to not disclose the presence of this other potential offer as by the "undivided loyalty" clause, they are "prohibited from advancing any interests adverse to the principal's [read: buyer's] interest or conducting the principal's business in such a way as to benefit a customer, a subagent, the agent or any other party to the detriment of the principal's interest." In other areas, that might not be the case.)

In that case, it is the listing/selling agent's responsibility to advise their client (the seller) that the offer is too low and they should wait longer.

I was at a primarily Flash based company during the glory days of Flash and then through the transition to HTML5/JS. While I understand perfectly (and even support) why the shift happened (thanks Steve!), its still frustrating sometimes to know that now, years later we still aren't able to provide the quality of games that we were in Flash 3-4 years ago. We can do a lot, and things have come a ways, but right before the major shift happened, when Flash gained GPU support, the effects and performance possible in most major desktop browsers was pretty awesome. I realize that HTML5 is now capable of utilizing the GPU, but its browser support is still not where it needs to be for us to offer it as a mass consumer option for most of our clients.

I look forward to the day when we can say HTML5 is so much better (than Flash) for interactive/media content on the web, but sadly we still aren't there. I have hope that we will get there eventually. Until then, we will continue providing slightly dumbed-down games and content with the benefit of it working on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers.

I'm not sure what sort of victory you are talking about. Yes, each country can determine the precise expiration dates of, say, copyrights... but the TPP obliges it to be at least 70 years. And yes, Australia can choose not to criminalize Australia itself deciding to violate TPMs, but they are obliged to criminalize Australian citizens violating TPMs.

So Australia can break TPMs itself, and Australia can wiggle a few days here or there in determining just how long copyright protection lasts. So what?

No, they aren't good at finding malware installed. I installed Norton on my mother's friend's computer and it found 4 bits of malware. I later installed Malwarebytes and it picked up something like 45 different malware programs! I was surprised so I verified about 12 of them before I realise they were pretty accurate and let it remove them from her system.

That's a very poor detection rate. I mean, I can confirm that at least 12 nasty malware programs weren't detected by a very widely used AV suite!
Here in the Midwest there are numerous multi multi million dollar transmission line projects in the works. Recently, where I'm located, the utilities have asked to raise the fixed monthly connection fee while reducing the variable consumption rate(s).

The claim for the lines is for grid reliability and to transfer solar and wind from the west (Dakotas) to the Midwest and Great Lake States.

Those that stand to benefit the most from this are the large consumption users which tend to be large corporations, particularly manufacturing and industry.

Those harmed by the change in rates tend to be those on fixed incomes and those who invested in energy efficiency or who are energy conscious and reduce their own use.

Folks will argue that the benefit to large consumers is also a benefit to the small users. I find it ironic that those that support the big businesses in this case tend to scream "FREE MARKET! CAPITALISM!". Well, the free market and capitalism should mean they shouldn't get to be "free loaders" on the people. And yes, the products and services the big consumers produce would cost more to consumers. But that's how the free market and capitalism works! They should cost more to the people that buy and benefit from those goods instead of having everyone subsidize the the cost of their products.
Think very long distance wireless. It has yet to be invented but I believe one day it will be possible to communicate point-to-point across the globe with low power devices at high bandwidths. Such a technology would make these arguments moot. Certainly we have to be practical about our present situation but the broader idea of cyberspace is not limited to current technology. In 1996 moderates would have laugh if you suggested today's technology would become common place.

The article says they argued that disposing of the milk would cause malnutrition. An obvious conclusion would be that they thought the risks from the contamination were smaller than the risks of malnutrition. They may well have known of some risks but not understood the magnitude.

What about techniques that obscure the source of information?

That paper appears to discuss how iodine is absorbed and transported within the body, but not the long-term effects of it. Similarly, your italicized Hanford quote mentions acute effects from high doses, not long-term effects from low doses.

I certainly could be wrong, but you and the others replying to me do not seem to be doing a very good job distinguishing between short term, high-dose effects (which were pretty well known) and long term, low-dose effects (which seem to have taken a lot longer to figure out).

y f = f (y f)
cond p f g x = if p x then f x else g x
