I would. Pi is (indeed always) the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. To calculate the perimeter of a 2d convex hull, my impulse would be to model the shape in polar coordinates and integrate over theta. The fact that this calculation relies on polar coordinates strongly implies a relationship to circles -- specifically, L = 2 * pi * r_mean turns out to be unsurprising, since you're basically treating each slice of the hull as a slice of a circle, and calculation based on that circle's radius.

> because a lot manufacturers don’t want anyone to know how to fix them.

I actually don't think they could care less if you fix it yourself. Apple, Samsung etc have done nothing to stop repair shops around the world that fix/replace phone or computer components and companies like MacSales have happily existed for years.

I can imagine if he has attempted to repair a MagSafe charger or a battery that Apple would rightly want to protect their customers but anything else would be largely harmless.
So if someone asks for emails, no one should care if some of them are employees asking for medical leave? HIPAA just shouldn't apply to government employees? Emails containing complaints about harassment or assaults, the victims who complained should be just named to anyone who asks the government? Employees have to provide SSNs and banking info to HR, should that be publicized for scammers?

"The Government" is also a workplace, and deals with all sorts of personal information on a daily basis. Their privacy is hardly "worthless," their emails deserve at least a quick sanity check before being released potentially to the entire world.

I've got a GL.iNet 6416A ($23) for portable use -- it has two Ethernet ports along with 802.11n on 2.4GHz and a USB port. Pretty nifty for on-the-go use, but don't think about it if you need to hit speeds over 35Mbps.

That replaces my old modded TP-Link TL-WR703N ($35), since it beat it in almost everything. Now, I use it as a wireless bridge for an Ethernet-only device.

I've got two Xiaomi Mi WiFi Minis (150 CNY, or ~$24) as budget APs. They do 802.11ac, but the three Ethernet ports on it only does 100Mbps.

There's also a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 (free, but $60 on Amazon) that I use in another location. Works fine, and can easily hit the WAN's speed at 100Mbps. 802.11n over 5GHz also easily hits 90Mbps, which is nice. It's been incredibly stable, and hasn't went down in almost two years.

I've got a handful of other routers with OpenWRT on them, but I no longer use them for a variety of reasons. Another TL-WDR3600 I had was replaced by an EdgeRouter Lite, since it couldn't really saturate my current Internet connection (1000/500).

Trying stuff randomly in the hopes of curing someone with no scientific basis has as much potential to do harm as to do good.

Just because, after a bunch of other crap, you do this one thing, and the patient suddenly gets better does not mean you caused their improvement. It also does not mean what you did won't have long term effects, which you cannot predict.

Imagine someone thinks they are possessed but really aren't. Won't an exorcism strengthen the belief that they can be possessed? And couldn't that lead to a stronger imaginary possession in the future? You might have just traded some temporary peace for a more severe lifelong problem, but shortsightedly just looking at the immediate effects and assumed you discovered something novel.

Giving form and substance to the delusions of a mentally ill person just seems rather ill-concieved.

I'm using mobile and the adding website flow is smooth and concise. I connected my blog hosted on GitHub. The only caveat is that this requires permission to access everything on your GitHub account, public and private repositories, and permission to do anything with them.

However, after adding the website repository, I'm not able to see any posts, is this only for pages? There are some UI issues with page editor on mobile that can be sorted out in beta. Nice product!

Update: I can access posts after changing the URL, but a direct link is missing in the UI.
Not the OP- it's not fudging. As a business you get to choose what kind of accounting standards you want to follow. When someone says GAAP basis, it means the closest to a good or universally accepted accounting method (or straightforward means of calculating a profit).

This is my experience as well with node and shrinkwrap. I see people using shrinkwrap to avoid potential issues, but what ends up happening is they get stuck on old versions of dependencies and when there's a bug fix or new feature that's needed it can be very difficult to upgrade. Instead, I prefer to try to always keep my dependencies up to date, especially with new major versions to avoid exactly this problem.

Based on the article's title, I was expecting reasons to use the Linux kernel's TCP stack - i.e. to actually answer the question. I guess it was rhetorical, though, since the whole article was about reasons why one shouldn't use Linux's TCP stack.

All those reasons, however, reek rather strongly of premature optimization, and that is the best reason why one should and does use the Linux kernel's TCP stack. 99.995% of the time, there are far worse bottlenecks in one's setup than one's TCP implementation.
I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with most of your previous points, just prompting you to step back and see the bare logic of your argument. Your thoughts (and to a certain extent mine) about what is acceptable and what is not is informed by our previous experiences. Things change, and this shouldn't invalidate other peoples experiences or stop them from trying something different.

"Nothing is wrong with the current management structure we have"

Completely indefensible. There is plenty wrong. No small part of what is wrong is to do with the way people's egos and prejudices get turned into policy and power. And there are a whole world of options between dictatorship and direct democracy. Everything else you describe past this point is, once again, a description of how things are, not how they should be. Your experiences are a description of how to function under an inopportune power structure.

Just as it is fair to say that the manager decided that this act was insubordination and needed to be punished by a firing, it is also fair to say that if there is a company policy which does not effect revenue but does effect quality of life, then it is perfectly reasonable to organise with your fellow workers to change it. The only error from the interns here was about not gathering enough power to actually see through the change.

"If anything has failed her here it's her education system that up till now didn't taught her that a petition is worthless, that if you want to something to change you build a position of substance and argue that one."

Fully agree with this, but as a starting point of not understanding the way something works, testing it, finding the edge cases and breaking it down is a good start. Do you not do this with every new tool you use? Besides, the real issue you alluded to before is that they basically didn't get that by signing a petition they were organising. The boss understood this and his over the top response is indicative of why organising needs to be protected in law (in a fair and balanced way).

PS. "I don't think that it's fair to equate the current management style of most companies to dictatorships".

Fair enough, oligarchy then.. When the choice is 'my way or the highway', and when they are telling you how to act and how to dress, how else would you describe it?
It would stand to reason, then, out of the thousands of badly faked photographs and videos, the mysterious blobs that could be caused by malfunctioning cameras, and the out of focus, blurry, easy mistakable everday objects declared as "ghosts" there would be a few clear, in focus photos or videos, which couldn't be easily placed in the aforementioned categories.

> he remains in the good graces of religious leaders, who are likely to bring him patients who otherwise would receive no psychiatric evaluation.

That is a an interesting point. Far fetched idea, I can see maybe the author understanding and using this tactic in a way to get to patients who otherwise might be harmed. He will publicly proclaim his belief in such things, in order to be sure to get referals and calls from the clergy.

Wonder though how it gets ballanced by his colegues not accepting of what he does and basically end up ridiculed or ostracized by that community.
The Bell Curve (1994) talked about the intellectual stratification that is happening in society. The author and resulting research was called "racist" and has been shouted down time and time again but much of what you say is discussed in the book. He shows correlation between intelligence and [income, parent's socioeconomic status (SES), job security/unemployment, educational attainment, and tons of other things]. The data is sporadic pre-WW2 but complete and well-validated afterwards. He avoids drawing conclusions or prescribing solutions.

All of it is interesting and some is compelling, but the book is generally forbidden to be discussed in "polite" company.

The interesting thing about the book.. to reduce the "racist" attacks, the author only looked at white people throughout the bulk of the book.
Correct me if I'm misreading, but I have a hard time seeing how the study supports your hypothesis. In the "Discussion" section, the authors state that their heritability estimate for educational attainment was 31%, and only 20% for SES. That still leaves the door open for significant social influence.

The authors summarize: "Our findings add weight to the view that genetic variation plays an important, but not exclusive, role in educational inequalities and social mobility, which is at variance with views, that still prevail in some quarters, that these are solely the product of social forces and environmental inequalities." In other words, they only take themselves to have refuted the strawman view that observed differences "are solely the product of social forces."
Anyone else find the comparison if 700 trillion to "just seven Zimbabwean 100 trillion dollar notes" to be extremely strange?

It would be a huge boon to society if more skilled trades were able to freely share knowledge like us developers do. Sometimes we take it for granted.
This study is old, but glad it's getting published on major media sources.

The cost of distributing the glasses and reaching rural locations is often more challenging than the cost of the glasses itself. One of the leading companies distributing low-cost eye glasses is VisionSpring (www.visionspring.org), and they are also main partner for Warby Parker (https://www.warbyparker.com/buy-a-pair-give-a-pair).

VS is making radically affordable quality glasses ubiquitous in frontier and emerging markets. Their customers earn less than $4 per day and are highly price sensitive. They sell to seed markets, are accountable for delivering on a value proposition, and gain consumer commitment for a product customers will need for the rest of their lifetime.
I'd expect Microsoft to want LinkedIn to drive users into the MS enterprises ecosystem, not maximise profit on its own.
They also manufacture almost all of the major glasses frame brands. They don't have a complete monopoly, but they do control a vast majority of the market.

I noticed there was song data errors in places - for example, in this chart (http://www.degeneratestate.org/static/metal_lyrics/clusters....), in the most representative songs for Tiamat, it lists White Pearl, Black Oceans. That is a song by Sonata Arctica. It also lists 3 versions of the same song for Nightwish in most representative songs (Elan). Similar mistakes are made for various bands in that chart (Symphony X, Hammerfall, Therion, Sabaton, Stratovarius, Helloween, Within Temptation, etc.).

This was interesting to read in general though, especially as someone who listens to metal quite frequently (mostly of the power metal variety).

I am willing to at least consider the possibility that non-physical beings might exist, and that they might be both able and willing to influence a human's actions in ways that appear malevolent.

Going from that to asserting that said beings are literal demons sent by Satan to corrupt mankind seems like a stretch, and makes me question this guy's objectivity (even) more than I might otherwise. Even assuming all his accounts are literally true, the existence of people with paranormal abilities and psychotic symptoms shows only that paranormal abilities exist and may be correlated with psychosis.

If nothing else, the stereotypical "possessed" behavior is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect a literal hell-demon to do. If the Devil was real and wanted to tear down God and religion, he'd make the possessed act like reasonable, well-spoken atheists, not this mumbo-jumbo routine that seems calculated to scare people into going to church.
