I don't think that anyone with such a low IQ would be able to even incorporate the company not to hire people.

As a Gene Wilder fan I was once digging for things to watch on Amazon and stumbled on a documentary narrated by Gene Wilder. I wouldn't have even noticed it but when I saw his name He'd been out of the limelight for so long I thought "wow, what could have made him agree to do this?" So I watched it.

I can't recommend it enough. It's called "EXPO - Magic of the White City" and is as about the 1893 Chicago Exposition. It takes about 10 minutes to really get started and it's got some cheesy stuff but it was fascinating. I've shown it to several people and they all got sucked in.

Not sure if this is a legit upload but it's on YouTube
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cpOQE5KJJds Or Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Expo-Magic-White-Gene-Wilder/dp/B004S...

If it weren't for Gene I'd never had known about such an amazing topic. Thanks Gene!

That sounds more like the process of applying for a Labor Certificate, as part of a green card. For an H-1B you just need an approved Labor Condition Application, which attests that you're offering the "prevailing wage" for the region/occupation, and (I think) that there's a general shortage of that occupation in the region (and not that you had no US citizen replies to your specific job advert)
Although you allege ekke's comment was "much better understandable", it commits the same use of they as singular.

> Others follow a simple pattern - if the light is off, and they have never turned it on yet, turn it on. If it is already on, or they have already ever turned it on, do nothing.

"They" cannot possibly be referring to the group---"they" is referring to each person individually.
If it's referring to the others as a group, it's not a solution to the puzzle.

And yet, you found it understandable.

This is the standard advice for "I bought a camper, what do I need before I go camping" and many other similar situations.
I spent years on the self-medication supplement train. I still take Vitamin D and a few other modest supplements, but I finally got REAL relief after just biting the bullet and trying nearly every anti-depressant under the sun. After a few, my doctor did a DNA test to determine gene-drug interaction because of the wild results I was having. Thankfully, this was covered under my insurance. It shed a lot of light on why many of the pills I had taken failed -- the test showed they're likely to have bad reactions based on my genes.

We used the information to choose Viibyrd, a fairly new anti-depressant (2011). I've kind of become an evangelist for it since.

It works like a traditional SSRI but also affects the 5-HT1A receptors. Another great feature of the medication is that it usually takes less than a week to notice results -- and results I noticed.

I've been plagued with anxiety since age 18 and depression since I was a kid. For the first time in 11 years, I'm anxiety free. For the first time in a long time, I'm nearly depression free.

The best part? I'm myself. I'm not dull. I'm not a zombie. Some of my other impulsivity and ADHD symptoms vanished. I'm way more productive, social, and less afraid to take on life.

It was fun and interesting to do the whole supplement stack, but ultimately a huge time and money waster. I spent far less time going to my Psychiatrist and trying different options to get REAL results.

I feel like in many ways Nootropic supplements are the Homeopathy for Nerds -- we're using cutting edge research to anecdotally try to fix our issues, and ignoring that even we're just as susceptible to the placebo effect as the rest of the population.

You're not going to change behavior by moralizing to people who consider what you think is moral to in fact be immoral

You're right. Which is why I think a fair solution is to round up people who think taxation is automatically immoral (along with the rest of the "if a government did it, then it is by definition immoral" brigade), drop them somewhere with no government and no laws, limited resources and maybe a bunch of weapons, and let them put their philosophies to the test.

If there are any survivors, then when they make their way back to civilization they might have a different worldview.
Thanks for being open to feedback, I know some people here are quite critical when it comes to supplementation suggestions and really anything medical. You clearly take the time to think and test this stuff out and improve your post, so I think this is something we could use more of!
Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion on the best way to do things, and in the right context it makes for interesting discussions. As I said before, I find the mention of a potentially useful alternative a valuable contribution to such discussion.

However, frequent and obviously excessive claims about the merits someone's personal preferences tend to fall somewhere between noise and trolling, and IMHO they are much less welcome.
Thanks for the feedback. Hiscox is one option I am considering.
What you should become an evangelist for is doing the gene testing (to get further insight/clarity into potential interactions and issues) you mention.

In my case, I was forced to seek traditional help, but that didn't work for me, which lead me to looking into alternatives. I researched for a long time, then came across (and had better luck with) many of the supplements and nootropics in the stacks I link to.

That is, I'm not saying to use this as an excuse to avoid traditional routes; it's more that many either have tried such routes only to see no real improvement, or want to quickly give off-the-shelf options a try before becoming "a part of the system." Not everyone is a fan of prescription anti-anxiety, antidepressant, or antipsychotic medication (or their side effects, especially).
As it happens I also live in a van (a VW T25 camper) because it's economically-efficient and convenient, and I don't have any urge to buy a million dollar house with a bunch of shiny crap to keep up with the Jones' (my grandparents devoted their lives to this empty pursuit in Los Gatos ahead of learning about the world, themselves or other people). But because marketeers have convinced enough people [0] that homelessness and poverty are such "fatal" pejoratives in the petty, judgmental, status-climbing West, people with alternative lifestyles learn to whom they can share this information...

Surprisingly, the behavior at that speeds is fairly well known. I don't even think you need to move from FR4 to a more controlled material (e.g.generally in mmWave, Isola FR408, along with sometimes Rogers stuff, IME, is what is used). Allegro PCB SI(Signal Integrity) even models high speed timing fairly well at the design stage.

You've got plenty of stuff at the test stage too. E.g., the gear on high-end Lecroy's metrology test gear is at 100ghz. Agilent (Keysight, whatever, it's still HP to me) has a full test rig for USB3.1[0] at 10gbps for their consumer level gear (again, fairly slow). Step it up to FPGA speeds and here's[1] an app-note by Altera with way higher speeds.

Here's a really brief overview of 'rules of thumb' that work up to PCI-e[2] by TI. 50 minutes and worth a watch. Clean power that won't couple in, matching lines lengths on diff pairs, proper isolated ground planes (give AGND and DGND their own layers) and proper termination will easily get you 95% of the way there.

The bigger issue is what is usually implied by the quote, which is a sort of naturalistic fallacy of law. Namely, that whatever is legal is moral, and therefore by implication changing the law would be immoral.

Well once you have this in database, maybe you'll give it to some library, then maybe this poor little library will just paste it into the SMTP conversation. And maybe some user will be clever enough to exploit it.

I believe that if you want to get X from the user, it's always a good idea to make super sure that it is actually X before passing it further.

There was a blog post a few months ago: [0]

It looks like there have been a few dead ends -- clever ideas that for one reason or another didn't pan out -- but overall, it's making solid progress. It remains, however, very experimental and is far from complete.

One area in which Daala works very well right now is in compression of still images. There's a demo at the bottom of the page which shows it as much better than HEVC for that purpose, and you can also see how the codec has improved over time. Of course, the relative goodness of codecs isn't necessarily consistent over widely varying bitrates.

In some of the earlier posts the Daala researchers expressed the belief that the quantitative metrics often don't accurately correspond to subjective perception of quality. Netflix seems to be putting a lot of work into developing better metrics [1], but the Daala researchers seem to rely on subjective A-B tests as the 'gold standard'.

I can't imagine that the concentration of matter ejected, which diffuses impressively, would have been so concentrated so far away. Supernovae shockwaves are thought to be a candidate for touching of the process of dust cloud collapse and stellar formation, but an old star is usually a really dense core and a very wispy atmosphere, relatively speaking.

Maybe a shockwave could set off a nova event, or the addition of matter could trigger a collapse, but I'm not sure how it could jumpstart nuclear fusion again.
Nowhere does this article say ICANN is being handed over to the UN.
yeah i agree the specific choice of % seems unintuitive, ugly, not great to type, but i love the functionality...
Yea, I was already familiar with that site, I just didn't think to include the link. I used it a lot as I researched various supplements. The FAQ section of the /r/Nootropics subreddit has links to other useful resources. Also, the owner of Examine.com is an active member of /r/Nootropics.

I'm annoyed by the critical reaction to supplement suggestions (mainly because no one is being forced to get anything), but on the other hand, I understand the reason for skepticism or lack of confidence. What would be great, however, is a bias toward first looking into what's recommended, rather than just settling into blind blanket dismissal/rejection.
git commit -v gives you the diffs provided you don't also use -m. Personally, I find -m to be a dangerous flag for commit for exactly the reasons you described not mention its hard to really do detailed multi-line commit messages with -m.
I did some video re-encoding for a small side project I worked on last winter and ended up using x265. I really wanted VP9 to be an acceptable option but the encoding times were ridiculous...like 5x slower than the equivalent quality in x265.
Kudos to this guy. I'm in my early 30s. My wife and I sold our house almost 2 years ago, bought an RV, and we've been traveling debt-free ever since. Feels good, man. But it's not without its drawbacks. Loneliness can be a constant battle when you're away from family, friends and coworkers. It took about a year to get comfortable with the travel routine. And then there's the maintenance. If I knew all of this ahead of time, I'd still do it.
I'm interested in tools like this because it allows me to build my front-end out of regular functions, which I can compose however I want using regular code. I never liked writing HTML or CSS in the first place.

Why not both?

RAM should be filled with 1) Things that are likely to be reused or 2) Things you want faster access to, or at least a constant fast access time when needed.

RAM should not be filled with 1) Things you will never use again (for example log files, or things that are very quickly invalidated by synchronous writes but rarely read) and 2) bloated data structures. For example if you have data format a and data format b that achieve the same thing, but b takes 30% more space at the same speed, b is very bad and should not be used.

It depends... the better the input and larger the resolution, the better x265 works for a given display. On the other side, I recently started re-ripping my DVDs of Babylon 5 for seasons 4-5 (had already watched seasons 1-3 on dvd) via Handbrake. I had to play a lot with the settings, and found that for DVD, a constant quality level 18 at medium seemed to work about best without losing too much quality. This resulted in a file size anywhere from around 290mb to 390mb, so some variance in size, for local data store this works fine, for online streams this wouldn't work as well, and would probably want a 2-pass for a consistent bitrate. This is compared to an average 850mb or so file size for the prior rip to x264. The time to encode (i7 4770k) seems to be about 13-16 minutes per episode. Again, this is at DVD source/output quality.

At 1080p, you can lower the quality to around 22-24, and get near blue-ray output... the flatter the input (animation is a great example) the bigger the difference. I'm seeing encodes at 40-60% of comparable blue-ray.

The down side, is it is significantly slower, and the quality of the x265 version of the codec is much better than say the nvidia x265 encoder, which is a shame as it's much slower too, so it becomes kind of a non-option for archives imho.

If you are encoding new media for your library, definitely go x265, it's worth the file size saving (so long as your playback devices support it well enough), but I wouldn't go back and re-encode it all, it's just too slow for now... maybe if x264 gets some CUDA support, that would be really nice (recently upgraded to a 1080 GTX).
> And yet, by now, everyone in this country should be well aware that the police is behaving unreasonably in these circumstances - and you cannot ignore that when you ask them to come.

So what I'm supposed to do if I feel unsafe when some stranger comes to my house? I can't call the police. I certainly can't defend myself personally - at least not in many places where personal firearms are either banned or severely restricted, and even showing them would be a crime unless there's already a mortal danger. What I am to do if I'm not in mortal danger yet but also don't want to be very soon?

Your solution seems to be for people to stop calling the police, at least until they have definite proof they are in very serious peril (by then it'd be too late, but at least the police would be able to confirm you were right - maybe postmortem, or maybe they'd be there still in time to take you to the hospital...)

My solution is to demand - right now, without waiting - from the police to introduce sane training in conflict resolution, threat evaluation and non-shoot-first responses, and stop shifting blame to the citizens and demand from them to sacrifice their safety because police can't be trusted to do its job.

The data's not conclusive, but it's also not neutral -- the data shows that, on average, workers gained about $680 per year, even after factoring in the extra risk of unemployment. That's a much, much better result than Bloomberg and the WSJ and mainstream economists were predicting. If you ask a neoliberal economist what the effects of a minimum wage hike will be, they'll tell you that, on average, the hike will destroy wealth. So far, on average, this hike has been creating wealth.

Does it make sense to wait for more than 18 months of data before rolling out a nationwide wage hike? Sure. But the results so far are good, and they support extending the wage hike to a dozen more cities so that we can collect the best data possible.

Why medical regulation is the problem not the solution
Let me ask you this: have you ever worked in anything but games development?

The rest of the industry is very different, and it's naive to dismiss it as caused by "lack of financial back pressure". The actual goals and constraints are different, even the program's life cycle, and it's only natural the development principles differ in turn! You'll notice a vast amount of literature about modularity, patterns, programming paradigms, encapsulation, etc. -- some of it misguided, some not. All of this literature is an attempt to cope with change and complexity in the software world; if the answer was "just modify data and never touch the code" I think someone might have noticed.

Do you by any change consider modifying game scripts as "modifying data"? If so, this would explain our disagreement on this matter :)
Numbered hats: I'm not sure this is optimal.

When the prisoners are together, they assign each person a unique ID from 1 to 100.

Once the round starts, each looks around and adds up the total on everybody else's hat, mod 100. Suppose you see a total of h (mod 100). Then you should make a guess g = h - your ID (mod 100).

With 1000 repeated experiments of 1000 trials each, this saved the prisoners ~ 630±17 ~= 63±2 percent of the time.

The problem for me personally is that hedonism, while fun for maybe a couple of hours, inevitably leads to more complications and suffering than happiness over the next day, the next week or the next year.

A more measured, but peaceful life with many smaller (not big enough to be disruptive) happy moments has been my solution and I've mostly been satisfied with that.
