I was recently in this position, chose to leave my program, and did my best to leave on good terms. Ultimately the relationship with my advisor soured.

I believe the most important question to ask is whether you will be happy for the next 3 or more years continuing to work under your advisor. You should be fine without a letter of rec. from your advisor.
NEUROSCIENTISTS WARN AGAINST UNSUPERVISED DIRECT BRAIN STIMULATION

WARNING - Did not RTFA, but I think I get the gist.

If they use an 8 bit counter, then the detection is basically the axle count % 256. Axle #256 crossing would reset the counter to zero, indicating a safe track, when if wasn't.
unless it happens in all cities on the same day probably wouldn't make sense since you'd have to qualify i.e. "SunHenge in Manhattan"
also, save up a bunch of Pokemon ready to evolve (such as the ever plentiful Pidgey) and do them all at once with a Lucky Egg. 500 xp per evolution turns to 1000, making leveling pretty fast. The last few days I've been saving all of my stuff until the end of the day to evolve and easily pick up 12k+ xp

it's tempting to evolve everything as soon as you can, but waiting to do batch evolutions with double xp is much more effective
Why would you jump to the conclusion that this is a software implementation. I believe, based on the comments in the linked article that it is probably a electro-mechanical counter.
There are tax treaties with most (all?) countries whereby you receive a US tax credit. In the case of the UK I believe even National Insurance contributions can be counted towards Social Security.
Of course not. That wouldn't make any sense. Do you need to log into any account to install rpm or deb package?
Value creation isn't defined "for society", but "for people". Society is not part of the market, people are. And the market determines value -> people determine value. Society is a mean, with no regard to standard deviation.

So most of us create "value for people".

"Value for society" is perhaps "meaning"?

Baking bread has value, and no meaning: people pay for it, but it won't change the world
-> it's a bad job, per your definition

People pay for bread to avoid cooking it themselves, and for the pleasure of delicious bread... Giving pleasure is getting closer to meaning, but it's an intrinsic feeling: only the baker can feel it, because made his bread with love.

But delicious bread is more expensive: maybe even "meaning" has a price... I think the "value" you're looking for, which is meaning, can be found in almost any job. A marketer can find meaning in a clever/funny ad instead of a phony one.

So don't expect to "find" meaning in a job, but add meaning to your job instead... and it will add value too ;-)
But the line you quoted includes "in the US". How is it possible to be any more clear? It doesn't even say the standards don't work, it says there aren't any standards in the US.
That points to an underlying political problem: the government is unable to deal with pensions directly, and can only cut them by the somewhat underhanded means of inflating/devaluating them away.

There's no political will or consensus to change some of what's wrong in Italy. To be fair, though, it's not easy anywhere, but Italy seems particularly stuck.
And 256 would be 0
Something most people don't know either, you get 10 coins a day for each gym you have a Pokemon set up to defend (up to a maximum of 10 gyms) - giving you up to 100 free coins every day for just playing the game. And since you can't buy anything that you can't just get from a Pokestop either (and they are pretty common even in my suburban area, there's three on the ~15 minute walk to the convenience store down the street) there's little reason to spend money unless you are sitting in your house all day playing instead of actually walking around (which is by design).

Really, the biggest complaint I can see about the game from an IAP standpoint is rural areas get pretty hosed because Ingress (where all of the AR content came from) didn't have many portals in these areas, so there's a lack of gyms and pokestops to actually use for people living there. Hopefully Niantic makes some improvement here, because while Ingress was a game focused on urban exploration and it made sense for that title Pokemon is supposed to be a much more accessible franchise.
See? It still takes three characters.
I've noticed CTRL+F is occasionally broken these days (match found, but not visible) and was thinking perhaps its the time for browser vendors to introduce a new way to search pages for users?

a.i. CTRL+F to search current state, then click on option to search in the way that website implements and then perhaps use global search (optional).

I'm sure graybeards will argue this breaks web in some way, so pardon my ignorance.
Many animal populations have non-reproductive members. It takes a village to raise a child. In such an extremely social animal as Homo Sapiens, many of our adaptations are social. E.g. it only takes a few men to guarantee another generation, yet 50% men are born in each. Another: we don't die the instant we give birth; we're there (and non-reproductive) for decades afterward, competing for resources. Its the social benefits that allow for this.
I think the political consensus arose because of a recognition of certain attributes of littering, which would not go away simply because the political consensus moved. There was a time before littering was illegal.
>Also Germany has a limit of 252

Was that itself a response to the exactly-256 problem, "plus a margin of safety"?
I also use weechat (on cygwin since they don't have native windows builds) + glowing bear. It's great as long as you're at a PC, but it's missing a way to get notifications (for example when you receive a /msg or /notice) when you're away from the PC but have your mobile with you.
I think Pokemon has more to do with success of it than the AR stuff. I see most people playing without AR on. Pokemon appeals to the nostalgia factor. A lot of us grew with these games when we were kids. Now most of us older, but we still grew with them. It also hits the kids demo as well. Pokemon is/was a good game. Its like why marvel and transformers and all these 80s/90s cartoons are doing so well.
I'm all in favor for workers getting paid more, but I can understand the brother's perspective. Shareholders, especially ones who own 40% of the company, have a reasonable expectation that the company CEO will be acting in their financial interests. In this case, the CEO was acting in a way that is favorable to his employees' interests, but detrimental to the interests of the shareholders. Given that the CEO legally has a Fiduciary duty to the shareholders to protect their best interests, I can understand the brother filing suit.

If the CEO also owned 100% of the company, or if the CEO was helping the employees with his own personal money, and not the company's money, there's no problem of course. But that isn't what he's doing. A cynical interpretation would be that the CEO is giving up 60% of the profits, in return for national fame and glory, while the brother is forced to give up 40% of the profits and gets nothing at all.
Trains can be composed of all kinds of cars.
But, again, I made an account yesterday. <24h ago. So, is it _actually_ offline, or are people hitting the friendly little google button instead of just waiting? If it's the latter, then while I don't disagree about the gravity of requiring "All Perms" for a stupid game, I kind of feel like people deserve whatever happens for their impatience.

Don't just throw around account access, no matter how pervasive, in the name of impatience. Ever.
Nintendo has never been about the tech. Not the NES, not when Sega released the Genesis while they pushed SMB3 for their "wimpy" 8-bit system, not when they crushed both Sony ans MS with the underpowered original Wii and not now.

Sony will live or die based on their ability to make great tech. Nintendo is different.
Amazon sold smartplug uses mac address as remote password
Way to miss the point. The prose makes it sound like the goal is to maximize the time spent at exactly 70, or to minimize the variation away from 70, neither of which is the case.
That's common, and it's usually capped the ruling would have the amount of legal fees to be paid this doesn't mean that it covers the legal costs of the winning party, it hardly comes close in most cases unless it was really a uneven match to begin with (e.g. huge corporation vs an individual).
Isn't it above 1mln? (US citizen working in London told me he has to make the tax return, but he is not tax for anything below 1 000 000 $)
Meaty part from review: "This is a huge problem. If anybody knows the MAC address of one of your sockets, they can control it from anywhere in the world. You can't set a password to stop them, and a normal home router configuration won't block this. You need to explicitly firewall off the server (it's 115.28.45.50) in order to protect yourself. Again, this is completely unrealistic to expect for a home user, and if you do this then you'll also entirely lose the ability to control the device from outside your home."
I remember being stuck on a crossing with an ore train like that passing. It was going quite slow and it took forever to pass. 100's of cars.

What do you mean "eligible". Are people over 65 somehow not eligible to work that you exclude them from the LFPR?

Tesla stock rises after Elon Musk's masterplan tweet
In the show Richard is billed as a compression guru - his startup is trying to market an impressive compression algorithm he developed.

His justification for tabs over spaces in the show was they require less bytes.

But the point of the scene was to highlight the sometimes pointless quibbling that programmers can engage in, and how far it can go.

Is Linus Torvalds rant pointless? I'm not informed enough to risk an opinion but I doubt the personal attacks, belittling and swearing are helping his case.
Yes. Plenty of European countries have similar limits, around 250. There's plenty of old 8-bit microcontroller based axle counter systems still in use which are unlikely to get replaced until they are life expired simply because the 256 limit incredibly rarely affects anything; for reference, the most axles per train in the UK I'm aware of is 192 axles.

It depends on your use case. The overhead is much smaller than you probably think and the Erlang / Elixir programming model works extremely well for some cases, networking for example. I've been writing pieces for a Bittorrent client in Elixir. Using a process for every connection to another client or for every torrent makes structuring your code really easy.

I spoke to a guy who interviewed there a long time ago and he said the crazy level security was in place back then. He called the security guys secret service because he thought it had something to do with her father being a senior state department guy (or something). I don't think that gets you actual secret service. Interesting data point that this was from the beginning
What do you mean be "store longer"? I've stored average American eggs in the refrigerator for multiple months without a problem (I only use them on the rare occasion that I bake something).

I am under the impression that European eggs are not refrigerated. My understanding is that once you refrigerate an egg, the membrane separates from the shell, requiring that you continue to refrigerate it, as the egg is no longer properly sealed. Since American eggs are refrigerated to begin with, you need to continue refrigeration.

Nintendo is also an investor in Niantic Labs. If you think the price is high, you're welcome to short it.
Nintendo has always been very reluctant to include social features within games beyond a very difficult to use friend list, hell, they removed SwapNote from the 3DS because it young players were getting inappropriate notes sent to them. Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't binned Miiverse some days, but they do an excellent job at moderating it.

I wouldn't expect Ingress-style open comms, but it would be nice to at least be able to message other players on a friend list.
>the campaigning is done because of irrational fears of GMO.

But not allowing be to have the data to make a choice because a certain undefined cadre of society considers that choice to be irrational seems exceedingly likely to have a chilling effect.

So now you can't label your goods as phthalate-free because someone somewhere decided, perhaps with the help of a plastics manufacturer (yes I'm cynical), that "there's no rational reason to avoid them"?

This prevents people from being more conservative with risk than the authority who decides we're not allowed to have that information; yes it also means people can make a decision that you wouldn't but we all have the information available.
That is a highly nasty and unethical thing to do to an unsuspecting user who spends time carefully moderating the discussion and trying to help the site.

On the other hand, it's a great way to handle someone who assists spammers or astroturfers.

To add to that, many professionals will not get a recommendation beyond, "Yes, they worked here." And many recruiters do not look for anything beyond that. There are a whole host of reasons to not give out positive or negative reviews. Most of them related to potential legal issues. Also a neutral review can often be interpreted as a polite negative review if a positive review was given in the past from the same reference about a different person.

Exactly. The rare item placement could be sold to the highest bidder, without any actual advertising in game. It's everything foursquare tried to do -- drive foot traffic.

Can you imagine driving down the road, your family is starving, you just want something quick to eat. You ask your kids what they want to eat, and they say Burger King, because that's where mew is that week? Kids have a lot of control on this stuff, and the retail space knows it.

In addition, they can also tap into mellineals who grew up on Pokémon.
No, it is $100k. That also only applies to income tax, not social security.
Wish I had the ability to downvote. What you are doing is there dictionary definition of trolling. I'm sorry for your loss, but please do not put the whole Ethereum project in danger.
yeah, but my point was that a mechanical counter of this nature would overflow counting 0-255 then wrapping around. So it would never get to 257. And the wheels I was referring would be in the counting mechanisim, I didn't say anything to suggest type of cars / axles etc.

I don't understand why the idea of employee interests and shareholder interest can't be aligned? If the shareholders are invested for the long haul, surely they are one in the same.

Obviously this is a simplification / wishful thinking. But maybe it's what we should strive towards :)
Execution is atomic: if there is a $1m 'sell' posted and you issue a $1m 'buy' against it, then either that completes or is rejected (e.g. if someone else has matched it in the meantime).

The point of this system is to send N orders to N exchanges in a simultaneous enough way that an HFT trader can't spot an order executing on exchange A and then issue their own order against exchange B.
The value of money is subjective. Governments drain the value of fiat currency by printing and spending. This causes people to subjectively value the currency less, which makes its market value go down (inflation.)

There are several reasons why this is not the case with Eth/DAO:

1) Every fraction of Ethereum is accounted for in the public record.

2) No additional Ethereum was created to compensate the losses of investors, only the original stolen Ethereum is being returned.

3) No politician's pockets are being padded, the only receivers of value are the rightful owners of DAO Tokens. (Only ETH was stolen, not tokens - everyone still has their tokens.)

4) If some government took this as precedent to force a bail-out in the future Ethereum Ecosystem, based on the standards of the Ethereum community, the value of Ethereum under an actual government-instituted bailout would plummet. It goes against everything we believe in, and the subjective valuation of Ethereum on a mass scale would plummet, effectively making any funds doled out worth only a fraction of their value by the time the receiver had any chance to use them.

I could go on giving more reasons, but is it really necessary? No one should be attempting to make analogies between fiat currency controls and an Ethereum fork unless they've considered both the philosophical and economic implications of their arguments, and it's obvious that most anti-forkers haven't bothered to give due diligence to the question of what's really at stake here.
The global financial crisis was engineered to transfer more wealth to the elites and slow down population growth by making housing unaffordable to the millenial generation.
Marissa Mayer's house always has a couple guys in an SUV parked outside with the engine running. Someone told me there have been credible threats made against her. Maybe that is the key. The Steve Jobs way of doing it makes sense if you assume that a kidnapping would be someone the CEO loves rather than the CEO. But kidnapping has been out of style in the US for decades.

I start sneezing whenever I eat processed food. I think it's an allergy to preservatives.

There's no test for that. I first noticed it about 5 years ago. After eating Subway, I always got sneezy, and also after drinking beer. I had an allergy test but nothing came up positive.

After years of trial and error, I'm pretty confident when I see a fake juice, condiment, or something commonly canned like olives that I will have a reaction if I eat it.

You could view it a different way. You could view that he did act in the best interests of his shareholders; if you pay your employees poorly they aren't as effective which hurts profits.
