The government pays farmers to burn their crops, as to destroy competition and raise prices. The government, with the ACA, taxes insurance companies great amounts and uses that money to pay for the government care; the quality of the company's care goes down, then.

This is a neat writeup but the bigger point here is highlighted by the opening statements. While i get the massive revenue channel the olympics provides, i can't help but feel that the media stranglehold over the events has gone too far.

The olympics represent one of the only instances of global unity through competition left in the world. Much the same way the world cup brings small and proud nations into the global stage, the olympics has the same power. Unfortunately, it is easier for me to find 20 year old simpsons clips on youtube than it is for me to find a video of Bolt's 100m heat from last week. Who benefits from this apart from NBC? I can list approx. 7.4B people who don't.

As a lover of capitalism this all leaves me conflicted. But i would point to the olympic coverage as the instance of corporations going too far with their constricting of media sharing.
Personally, I use Bing because they give me points, which, since the beginning of the year, I have redeemed for ~$75 in Amazon credit. That's more than Google search has ever done for me!
The iOS app was made with UIKit. Exponent could be a good fit for companies in similar positions who have just an app for just one platform (more often iOS) and want to build an Android version but find it hard to hire that talent.
Yeah. That would be really nice as these languages are competing for the same ground. Go beats all in ease of programming but something is not quite satisfying with it(my personal opinion). I really like having control of my memory. But that doesn't matter usually for most of the application processes.
I thought the Northwestern University Football Team[1] case was in part addressing that or making thing more complicated? Not saying it's settled or whatnot, just that maybe it's at play too.

been taking this supplement for several months. Improvement in sleep quality and wakefulness was pretty noticeable on the second day. Had no idea how 'brain-fogged' I felt prior to taking it. It seemed to help recovery time with respect to exercise and I overcame some plateaus while taking it. Another fringe benefit I've noticed is that hangovers from drinking are non-existent. Would definitely recommend trying it, but your mileage may vary.

Chromadex also sells the same supplement but I do not know of any differences between what they provide and what Elysium provides.
When do you sleep?
This seems a bit like saying "people like motorcycles so no one will ever want a sports car". Some people are going to value the raw performance over the sound and stick.
Do you have the data for acceleration past 100MPH? The cars you listed really come to life after a 100MPH and it would be an interesting comparison.
Sure! And that's true. I'll also add that the board packs a far stronger scientific punch than Theranos's originally did.

It reminds me of Theranos because it meets the 'visionary founder(s) + unproven yet promising sounding scientific premise + extensive backing from prominent individuals = really great story to read/write about'. The caveat there is, as I mentioned, the significant scientific backing behind this.

I am very skeptical of dietary supplements (esp. when they aren't something like niacin, or iron, which have permitted claims). I am not a lawyer, but it would seem to me like their marketing might run close to afoul of FDA guidance on dietary supplement claims. See here (http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocuments...).

Here are a couple examples of them artfully avoiding making seriously problematic claims:

---
"Basis is designed to optimize NAD+ levels and sirtuin function in our cells to support our most critical metabolic processes like cellular detoxification, DNA repair and energy production." https://www.elysiumhealth.com/basis. Note the careful language use of 'support', which doesn't actually mean that it does it, according to the FDA guidance document cited above.

"It is closely related to resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, but more bioavailable, or easier, for the body to incorporate. Research has shown that pterostilbene, like NAD+, stimulates enzymes called sirtuins. They relate to critical cellular processes, from aging to circadian clocks to energy production." https://www.elysiumhealth.com/basis Note that they mention the critical cellular processes as related to it, without directly saying that consuming more of pterostilbene actually helps.
---

The claims themselves aren't direct enough to probably merit a warning letter (in my amateur opinion), but it certainly doesn't mean that they do anything. They aren't actually making any claims as to the product's efficacy, but if they were to, you'll also note that all of the research cited(https://www.elysiumhealth.com/basis, at the bottom) probably wouldn't actually substantiate any claims per FDA guidance, because the studies don't actually come close enough to testing the supplement itself.

I say all of this under the caveat that I am not a lawyer, just a regular human being who is skeptical of any miracle pills.
Yeah, fastest implies it's third fastest around any track. It should read third-fastest to 60 mph.

"Fastest" has nothing to do with getting up to speed on the freeway.

But for day to day driving, getting up to highway speed, and acceleration at passing speeds with good handling while doing so are what I actually need.
It wasn't so long ago that critics of XML etc were shouted down, mocked, dismissed.

I didn't say it was the majority in the suburbs. To clarify, I've lived in both urban and suburban areas. People in suburban areas seem to have a higher incidence of fear (like discussed in the article) than urban areas.

Which isn't the only reason to live in the suburbs, but it's a major reason for a rather significant number of people. I mean, a suburban town not far from me got started to get away from the blacks (the way the honest locals phrased it, not proudly), and that was just 50 years ago. Fear drives a lot of suburban movement.
There are floating wind farms. The world's largest (according to [0]) is due to be built off the north east coast of Scotland next year.

Incidentally, this is not far from the site of another offshore wind farm which a certain Donald Trump waged a lengthy legal battle to try to prevent, because he thought it would spoil the view from his golf course[1].

Bear in mind that you can already see large numbers of offshore oil rigs off the coast of parts of north east Scotland.

Does this similarly apply to medical fellowships?

There's a weirdness that residents are considered employees, but if you want to go into a specialty requiring a fellowship, you're back in the "student" category.
That's similar to when we call the world record holder in a 100m sprint the "fastest man in the world", ignoring the fastest 400m person, 800m person, 1500m person, 3km person, ... marathoner, ...

> you've thrown out a pretty absurd hypothetical

Not even remotely absurd. Where is the data your scraper consuming coming from? It's almost always served from some sort of data repository (SQL or otherwise). That data costs far more per MB to serve up quickly than JS/CSS/images.

Suppose, for example, you host a blogging platform that has one very popular user. Most accounts on your site don't get a ton of visitors, and that one very popular user's post are all stored in cache.

Then along comes a scraper. He thinks, "Hey, this site is serving up a million page impressions a day. It can definitely handle me scraping the site".

But when he runs the scraper, he fills up the cache with a ton of data that it doesn't need, causing cache evictions and general performance degradation for everyone else.
I often do, nearly every time I stop at a toll booth (toll roads, bridges, and tunnels are very common in my area -- I'm guessing they're uncommon in your area, lucky you).

(Of course, being able to do that really quickly, while fun, is not so /useful/ in real life, so it's still pretty debatable what "matters")
Plug: OneTab for Chrome or Pinboard > Save tab set (in Chrome/Safari) are my best routes out of tab hell.

Fastest is commonly reserved for cars with the highest top speed. A fast track car is very different from that. You can have a car like a miata outpace a porsche 911 turbo on certain tracks.
The presence or absence of tax forms, or which tax form is provided, makes surprisingly little difference to whether someone is legally considered an employee. The guidelines the IRS uses are multi-factor and weight heavily around things like how much control is exercised over someone's work, when they work, how they work, etc.
Sure. Obviously all of this depends if the context is git or the kernel. But Linus (in context of the kernel) cares more about the 1% than the average person, for things like atomics, mutexes, etc.

"Clickwrap" refers to situations where you have to click through before using the service, hence the name. Agreements which are simply a passive notice in a footer somewhere are called "browse-wrap", and are much less likely to be considered enforceable:

I wonder how well a special version of the Tesla Model S would do on the Top Gear track, if it reduced its battery weight to the point where it could just barely complete the course? The battery weight is its biggest problem as a track car.
>As an aside, I'd really like to see a browser plugin that would scrape sites in the normal course of access, storing the proceeds in a distributed public database.

This would be copyright infringement, since the content of the page is a substantive unique work that is automatically copyrighted by its author. A site that doesn't want you scraping its content is not going to want you posting dumps of its pages. Much like BitTorrent, they'd get into the protocol and send subpoenas to the ISPs behind the IPs that serve their pages, and use that info to sue the customer.

When my company was shut down by a legal threat related to scraping, I did suggest to my lawyer that we create something like a browser extension that would grab the data we needed out of normal client-side browsing sessions. This wouldn't be as nice as controlling the flow of information ourselves but it would've worked OK. My lawyer strongly suggested avoiding that as it could've been construed as conspiratorial conduct that would've made criminal prosecution more likely.
ah too bad it's only available for US-based users - I would have totally used bing if I got something out of it as well :)

I think the struggle for civil forfeiture reform offers some suggestions. Child Services operates similarly to these programs in that they can size children and impose sanctions without a court finding any wrongdoing first.

Child Services makes use of broad powers and would indeed be "gutted" if they couldn't act until neglectful parents were tried or pled guilty. I think that is a good tradeoff. Similarly, I don't mind that civil forfeiture reform lets drug dealers continue to drive sometimes. This is a major political controversy, though.
I clicked around a bit and expected most links to be dead but surprisingly all of them worked.
Then it crossed my mind: Because it was the first page there was nowhere to link - so no external links, no dead links.

Not just federal fellowships but private and even departmental fellowships as well. Makes for a big surprise tax season when you realize you should have paid estimated taxes.
That their purpose isn't to be versatile isn't a point in favor of their versatility. Tesla still wins this point as a net, regardless whether it matters to you personally.
Are these technical terms? To my ears they sound like synonyms.
For production cars top speed doesn't matter, after you get past highway speeds it is meaningless. Maybe it's me, but I'd rather a car that goes 0-60 really fast and can only go 100MPH than one that goes 0-60 slower but can go 200MPH.

I think this creates an interesting circular problem. Only recently in society have we come to think of children as effectively the parents property. In many other cultures it is expected that other adults will discipline children. We have this problem in our library often when kids who are resettled refugees come in and misbehave. The parents send them to the library with the expectation that they will be disciplined if they misbehave. When the kids see they will not, they misbehave knowing they can get away with it.

On the other hand, this protectiveness of our personal standard of parenting means that in order to enforce our standards, we must see the kids and people must defer to the parents for discipline. It almost means that because we don't allow others to impose their judgements on our kids, that they then impose their judgements on the parents.
I wonder how much time they're saving by simply not having to shift gears? That could be a second right there.
You are a perfect example of the type of person I am glad I will never be. You don't even realize how conceited and self-obsessed you are.

You know what your problem is? You've spent your whole life feeling sorry for yourself and you can't stop doing it because it feels so good.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop being a bad person.
I recently started waking up at 4 a.m and go to bed at 8-9pm. It has done wonders for my life. I realized I was confusing my personal task list with my work task list - the two should not be confused. I complete all my personal tasks in the morning, such as, studying a new language, practicing a musical instrument, learning to draw, and a couple other skills I want to learn and improve. Then when I'm worn out and it's time for work, I'm greeted with a mile high todo list that never ends, but I feel satisfied knowing that at least I accomplished my goals for the day, which is all that matters. The mile high work task list will be there tomorrow... it'll always be there. It has allowed me to put myself first.
Parenting is a 24/7 job. Parents make thousands of decisions balancing many ideal and pragmatic factors. Seeing one parenting decision is not sufficient for assessing their entire parental lifestyle. Putting aside the specifics of this topic, it is curious how many people are quick to condemn a parent the moment they make a single decision not up to the observer's standards.
I'm not sure this is anything particularly new. There have always been busybodies. What probably is newer is that the local government is, for better or worse, quicker to inject themselves into domestic situations than they may have been in the past.

The challenge is that, if someone sees behavior that isn't the norm in their experience, and that they personally consider (rightly or wrongly) to be insanely dangerous, what are they really to do? OK, they probably shouldn't raise a stink if some kid is riding a bike without a helmet. What if they're playing with firecrackers?
I just want to add that your Docker "containers" are just processes on the host, and don't actually exist outside of the containerized process' lifetime. Your container is not a VM. So restarting a container to pick up code changes is just saying that you're restarting your process to pick up code changes. That's why you'll need to use something like pm2 if you want files watches and hot-loaded. The other comments are great, I just wanted to give some insight into why.
Yes but those can and do vary in their tax status, with some just treated as a source of your stipend compensation (i.e. W-2).

The government doesn't really know about when you were paid though, so you're unlikely to get hit with penalties if you do forget to pay the estimated tax.
I did, but I wasn't an employee. Nonetheless, there was an HR department for the lab I worked at, and they were responsible for me. It's a mess.
I wonder how they can get that much power out of the battery. I'd think they'd need to use capacitors?
Would be about $93k worth of bandwidth from AWS Sao Paulo Region (about 3x more than AWS US-East)
Exactly, the same as an Egyptian.
Acceleration versus top speed. Quick to me refers to a period of time whereas fast refers only to a point of time.
Also, while this may be due to the new battery, it's not simply its kiloWatt-hours capacity which does that. It must be that the battery can also deliver more kiloWatts. A battery storing way fewer kWh could yet support even greater acceleration, just by dumping current faster (and perhaps also by weighing less).

A super-capacitor bank which is completely drained after 10 seconds could support the 2.5s long operation needed to demonstrate 0-60 acceleration.

(But, of course, better acceleration and range: well done!)
I wonder where they're getting 315 miles of range from in the P100D. The P90D has 270 miles of range, or 3 miles/kWh. For 100kWh it should be 300 miles of range. At 315 miles of range the P100D is 5% more efficient than the P90D.

If the upcoming 100D is also 5% more efficient than the current 90D, that car would get somewhere around 343 miles of range.
Okay, but then don't make comparisons to cars like the 918 and LaFerrari.

Or call it the fastest production car. Quickest maybe, even that is debateable. Quickest 0-60, sure.
The line is blurred between clickwrap and browsewrap -- those are colloquial terms to describe ToS notices, not legal terms. Is it still browsewrap if you say "By clicking any of the links on this site, you agree to the ToS"? How far away from the clickable buttons must the statement be to be browsewrap instead of clickwrap? The distinction is really only a technicality in the wording, not anything substantive. In practice, you are still being forced to agree to a binding contract (many of which remove one's right to sue in a court of law) just by going past a landing page.

Even if we entertain a distinction between browsewrap and clickwrap, browsewrap is generally enforceable, especially after minor modifications to placement and/or font size.

Your experience doesn't matter here, because we're really talking about a physics problem. There is no known physical process by which parent's intent for leaving the child at home could alter the risk profile of that action.

At least on the NSF GRFP, and at least in my department at CMU, I still received W-2s, and federal deductions happened normally as per my W-4. (The fellowship funding went through the dept and I was paid by CMU.) Maybe my department is an outlier, though shrug

Also, some states treat graduate stipends specially. In Pennsylvania, the stipend is exempt from state and local income tax.

Not the discount the validity of your experience, but the usual counterpoint to this is Google, who (like mentioned elsewhere in the thread) has been continuously scraping since the very beginning and in fact built their entire business model on doing so. They are also responsible for advancing the state-of-the-art of scraping (albeit mostly internally), through the development of V8 and headless Chromium so that they can inspect dynamic pages too.

Perhaps this illustrates the fungibility of the legal system: it's an inherently human construct that pits a plaintiff against a defendant, and given a big enough warchest and persuasive-enough arguments, catastrophe can be avoided -- by Google; perhaps not by you, me, or someone else.
In a first-world, disposable income scheme of things, I guess $60 a month isn't bad. Your cellphone bill is probably higher.

But what Bill Gates said last year in a Reddit AMA resonates with me: "It seems pretty egocentric while we still have malaria and TB for rich people to fund things so they can live longer."[1]

I'm reminded of an inscription that appears on English gravestones going back to at least the 1500s:

If life were a thing that money could buy,
The rich they would live and the poor they would die;
But God in His goodness hath ordered it so
That the rich and the poor they together must go.

Maybe not for much longer.
