> I don't understand where you're going with this at all.

Because you've never been to a casino. Because you've never gambled and won. Because you don't understand human nature. Because you're trying to rationalize your way to the answer through logic, but people don't invest or live that way.

If you try what I asked you to do, you'll understand. You'll also understand why those who are wealthy invest the way they do and why I said what I did.

I'll repeat what I said. It makes perfect sense for those who are wealthy to invest conservatively. If you find yourself with lots of money at the casino, the best course of action is to leave.

Contemporary media coverage suggests they wanted to buy out a competitor which became the dominant video site in a year. This New York Times article [1] from 2006 wrote:

"The acquisition of the privately held YouTube will enable Google to thrive in one area of the Internet where it has so far failed to gain footing. According to Hitwise, which monitors Web traffic, [YouTube] has the lion's share of online video traffic (...) a 46 percent share, MySpace has 23 percent and Google Video has 10 percent."

Meanwhile, this 2006 article from the Economist [2] stated:

"the deal is 'an aggressive, mature move for Google, one that shows that senior management is not too proud or stubborn to see that they can't build everything themselves,' says Henry Blodget, an analyst at Cherry Hill Research. Indeed, Google's Mr Schmidt freely conceded that YouTube is the 'clear winner', especially in creating social networks around its site."

There is pretty conclusive evidence that taller men are on average more attractive than shorter men. However being more attractive does not necessarily mean you will have more kids. My theory is that people want to marry people of similar attractiveness, so if for very attractive people the pool of potential matches could actually be smaller, in part because attractive people are more choosy. Also in terms of evolution, if you have sex it doesn't matter how attractive your partner was.
You probably didn't arbitrarily give that to yourself. If the company decides to give employees discounts for some reason, like staff retention, that's quite different from just picking up whatever you like from the warehouse and walking home with it.

You're making the incorrect assumption that vegetarians are replacing whatever meat they were eating with the more-expensive meat substitutes. As I noted in my comment above, there are plenty of meat substitutes and alternatives that are much cheaper than $7/lb.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the most important physical trait in a male". Women prefer taller men. They say so and studies back this up. Taller men have more mating options and more attractive partners. Taller men make more money, and they are more likely to be selected as leaders. They are perceived as more dominant and more attractive. It is utterly indisputable that in western societies at least, being above average in height is a huge benefit societally for men.

Do taller men have more children? Apparently not, but that's kind of a horrible metric for success in a modern society, because people are actively choosing not to have as many children. More interesting questions might be how height affects frequency of sexual encounters, or number of sexual partners, or any of a number of other measures that most men might want to increase, vs number of children, which is a number that most men do not want to increase significantly beyond the average.

Actually, an interesting question might be too ask how many children a man wanted compared to how many he had. Do taller men end up with more, less, or the same control over their reproduction?

My concern is health. Soy even fermented isn't that great. It is a trigger food for many as well. The amino profile is an issue too. Rice\pea is the closest I've found but lean poultry is the king of protein quality and until I see bodybuilders switching I'll stick with that. I know they also use whey which works for me but makes me put on fat. I have tried vegan and vegetarian, but after more than a month on each I never got out of the feeling fluish phase. Atkins did the same thing. So I just stick with vegetables, lean white meat, a few fruits, and a handful or two of whole grains and nuts a day. And some eggs, dietary cholesterol is not blood cholesterol.

As a long time Rubyist here's a brief rundown of the features Elixir has that made me reach for it with increasing frequency:

* Pattern matching: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/pattern-matching.html

* Guard clauses in function definitions: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/case-cond-and-if.html...

* Macros: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/case-cond-and-if.html...

* The |> operator: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/enumerables-and-strea...

For me those really are the killer features for Elixir. I know most people will point to Elixir's support for concurrency and the whole GenServer thing that it gets from Erlang when discussing why Elixir is interesting. And those aspects of the language/ecosystem really are awesome. But being able to nearly eliminate explicit conditionals with guard clauses is just so damn cool I can barely stand it. And the |> operator is something I desperately wish Ruby had. I like Elixir a lot because it seems to put a huge emphasis on making my job as a programmer suck less without sacrificing other things in the process.
Supply and Demand.

If demand rises -- and it does, the population of LA is increasing by roughly 20,000 annually (from http://www.clrsearch.com/Los-Angeles-Demographics/CA/Populat...)

-- if 20,000 per year are added to LA's population, you need more rental units.

Here's a potential SAT question in the 'Logical Reasoning' part:

"A large city experiences 20,000 population growth per year. Because restaurants, doctors, barbers, dentists, and other service providers are not growing fast enough in the city to accommodate this large growth in citizens, should the city:

[A] Provide incentives for new restaurants, doctors, barbers, dentists, etc. to move into the city and start operating to meet the need?

[B] Or should the city impose caps/limits on the fees/charges of those restaurants, doctors, barbers, dentists, etc. who already operate in the city, which will create disincentives for new operators to move to the city to satisfy increasing demand?

Supply and Demand. The demand for EVERYTHING is affected by 20,000 new citizens in LA each year.

In 10 years there 100,000 to 200,000 more citizens in LA.

With the disincentives for new landlords to enter the LA market, there will be an even more severe shortage of units.

"Shortage of willing landlords."

The old adage is this:

"You cannot price-limit, and regulate, and tax your way to an over-supply of housing."

It's really, REALLY awful that city leaders don't understand that.

Guess which cities have the greatest shortage of landlords?

Los Angeles
San Francisco
New York City
San Jose

(those are the U.S. cities with the longest period of landlord-reducing Rent control laws, by the way)

Can we PLEASE INCREASE THE FREAKING SUPPLY of willing landlords.

PLEASE.

Interestingly, the article fails to mention the strong correlation between height and longevity - not in the positive direction.[0]

I think you're right. It's even pretty self-evident that it isn't zero: First, if any of the factors in the equation were zero, then I wouldn't be typing this. Second, imagine if you rolled a die with an unknown number of sides a thousand times and only got to look at one result, which turned out to be a 2. Would you argue that it was totally plausible for the other 999 rolls to have produced 1's? Possible, yes, but not bloody likely, and all you need to do is look at the night sky to see there's some serious dice rolling going on.

> Neither are proven profitable businesses.

I'm not sure you understand what that means?

The only profitable business is a business that has reached market saturation. A business that can't grow its market share by re-investing the margin on its products. Both businesses are in fledgling industries and are nowhere near saturation. In fact, both companies are expanding their respective markets, not merely gobbling up the shares of other companies. It would make no sense for either to be profitable.

If you are in the area, there's a tour you can take that gets you into some of the unrestored buildings and the underground spaces beneath them. In particular, the breweries in the area used to lager their beer in manmade caverns that they cooled with water from the river when it was cold enough.

In the context of the article I make the recommendation with some reservations. You can spin it as poverty voyeurism or gentrification if that's your thing, but it also offers a glimpse into how things were when the area was a vibrant community. It also offers a peek into historical infrastructure (well, insofar as you can consider the aging and moving of beer infrastructure) when it was still more economic to chill beer with cold river water than electricity.

Not affiliated, but I did take the tour a couple years ago.

Django 1.10 beta 1 released
Could you help me understand your response?

I find it hard to match your statement to the JSON spec(s). Neither RFC 7159 nor ECMA 404 use the term "key". The standard for objects requires a string for the 'name' of an object member, which is certainly what you refer to. However, JSON does not allow a number.

I tried looking at the ECMAScript spec. In http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST... :

> An Object is logically a collection of properties. ... Properties are identified using key values . A property key value is either an ECMAScript String value or a Symbol value .

That 'Symbol' has nothing to do with numbers, so only strings make sense for an external representation.

Perhaps you mean to include the integer from the Array object? The spec says "An Array object is an exotic object that gives special treatment to array index property key ... A String property name P is an array index if and only if ToString(ToUint32(P)) is equal to P and ToUint32(P) is not equal to 2^32-1."

Is that limited range of integers what you mean when you saying that numbers are allowed as keys?

Regarding uniqueness, the CSJ spec says nothing about uniqueness, so how do you know the keys must be unique? It doesn't inherit that from JSON. RFC 7159 says that in an object "The names within an object SHOULD be unique."; uniqueness is not required. It then adds "When the names within an object are not unique, the behavior of software that receives such an object is unpredictable."

Therefore, I don't see how you drew the conclusion you did.

About 30 years ago I had a boss (who I liked) ask me for 7 weeks more work, after I gave notice. I gave him the 7 weeks (new company was OK with that; I had worked for them before), even though it was a personal hassle. Fast forward to 5 years ago: same ex-boss and his wife visited my wife and I when they were traveling through Arizona, and we had a great time.

That said, now in most cases, everything is at-will and neither side really owes the other anything, although it is good to be polite and not burn bridges.
Yep - and even in it's "ridiculously low work factor" configuration, it's around 6 orders of magnitude slower than SHA. In context, the author of that piece was trying to show off the hashrate, so would be expected to err on the side of making his monster 8 gpu rig look better rather than worse.

Any of bcrypt, scrypt, or PBKDF2 can easily (as in, by design in the hash function parameters) be made however much slower is needed for you (so long as your normal login process is then still "fast enough", I had a WordPress site a while back where I couldn't wind the bcrypt plugin up much past 11 before the inexpensive webhosting would time out before login succeeded... (And yeah, feel free to mock me for "securing" WP with bcrypt - it was mostly because I wanted to be confident if/when the site got exploited, the hashes in the DB weren't going to be too easily attackable for anyone who'd used a decent password))
I don't know the details, but I don't see why power efficiency has to be the same thing as speed. For example, various patterns of memory access or I/O may run at the same speed but could very plausibly have different amounts of energy consumption. Similarly, it's conceivable that different CPU instructions that run in the same time might have different energy demands. CPUs also have different speeds they run at which have different energy usage, it's possible that LZFSE might be designed to avoid putting the CPU into its highest-power mode. But as I said before, I don't know the details about what LZFSE does, I just know that there are various reasons why energy usage is not the same thing as CPU time.

We can't even stop humans (nor, probably, should we) from doing things essentially equivalent to wireheading (in various guises, from 'eating sugary foods' to 'watching tv' to 'masturbating' to 'listening to beautiful music', things which artificially increase our 'utility function' output without increasing our fitness).

I would say that women have a bias towards socially dominant/powerful men which probably goes back to favouring the chief of a tribe in paleoithic time.

As humans tend to reduce the problem down with stereotyping people probably associate tall with socially dominant even if isn't very accurate. Thus you get a feedback loop where taller people are expected to act a certain way and then start acting that way.

I know a guy who is a dwarf who also has a very successful business, is a funny and charming guy and also has a beautiful and kind girlfriend. So height is neither a ticket or a penalty to success in life.

A debugger is a very convenient tool when dealing with spaghetti code.

Which also has the side effect of allowing undisciplined/inexperienced programmers to more easily churn out spaghetti code.

I very seldomly use one, almost always if I know it's gonna save me a lot of time. And I would certainly never recommmend a beginner programmer to learn how to use a debugger until he gets very deep in the shit. Before that point though, his/her own human resourcefulness and introducing a little knowledge of best practices will set him/her on the right path faster than a debugger will.
This assumes that average height continues increasing, which is not a given. The Dutch might represent the peak. They might not ever get taller. Americans might never reach that height.

I would also not assume that airplanes would become more accommodating to taller people. They certainly have not become more accommodating of fatter people despite a lot of movement in that direction.
Perhaps its because those who can afford to buy due to their socioeconomic status can vacuum up properties at cheap interest rates, and then profit by renting to those who can't afford to buy?

"We know a lot more about exoplanets now than we did in 2003. We're moving on to find out how many are in the Goldilocks zone, or how many contain water. Our idea of what to plug in is slowly getting better."

"Unfortunately", that's nailing down the one parameter that nobody has ever particularly questioned. There's some lines of thought that our solar system might be unusual in relevant ways, but nobody has ever seriously argued that the only planets in the galaxy are in our system, or anything related to that that would make that parameter small.

It's all the rest of the parameters where the mystery is.
