They write like they know everything in the world but still they don't twist the facts. Also if some good was done they write like 'oh look these ex slaves have done this good' and if bad' oh look the poor bastards are adding just another bad thing to the list'. These are metaphors and they don't literally write this! And many neutral toned articles are mistaken as negative by nationalists here.

While it may have worked in the past (for a while anyway), what exactly prevents spammers from stripping the suffix, given that the functionality has been public knowledge for many years? Best case they'll be lazy and try both with and without, and you'll end up knowing. Blocking the alias cannot possibly have any effect.
Plenty of things require referrals and authorizations and those can be processed at a glacial pace, yes.
The partisan nature of this piece is amazing. Contrary to what is presented here, the whole exercise was one that was brilliantly executed, and one that has caused minimal disruption. See this: http://swirlingtea.blogspot.in/2016/11/demonetization-why-20...
This description is missing a key part which explains why it appears to reverse left and right. Mirrors reverse something: the direction perpendicular to the mirror. Mirrors can also reverse up-and-down just as easily as left-and-right. Imagine holding text printed on a clear sheet up before so that you can read it. Now look in a mirror that's behind the sheet. The text in the mirror is so readable, since it's reversed in the one dimension it has symmetry in (the thickness of the sheet). But now if the sheet were opaque, you'd only see the back of the page in the mirror and no text. So you flip the page around to read it. Now you've rotated AND mirrored the text and it looks swapped left to right instead of by the mirror's perpendicular direction: the rotation changes which axis was mirrored. Start again with the text facing you ready for reading, but now rotate the text to face the mirror again but this time do so in the 'unusual' manner of flipping it head over heel. Now the text in the mirror is mirrored upside down! Which rotation you apply changes which axis is apparently inverted. We're just so used to rotating things about their vertical axis that everything looks mirrored left and right.

Also there are mirrors which do reverse specifically left and right in the manner that you debunk above, but they are nonsymmetrically concave.
From War to Commerce: A New Crop of Veteran Entrepreneurs Is Making an Impact
Actually dealing with banks is a luxury which Urban Indians assume is available for everyone. Its not.

Most banks are huge red tape in India and corruption is quite common. Even to dispense cash/loans a lot of times local rural banks ask for bribe. Which is why most people go a distance to avoid dealing with banks.

This problem was addressed by co-operative societies to an extent, but it doesn't scale though.

Debit/Credit/Electronic transfers are for the privileged in India.
The house analogy isn't really working for me.. An almost same house gives 99% of all the important value, but a non-diamond ring isn't the same since it's still a pretty big mental and societal shift one has to deal with.

That does sound better, spending the saved money on 4x$2000 amazing trips together, or 2x$4000 SUPER trips. Priceless memories that would easily be higher value than a nice rock.
Thanks for the info, that's very useful.

If this is the intention, it seems like it'd make more sense to throw up roadblocks to only someone else who's in the comment chain, rather than to someone who hasn't been involved at all and is just chiming in. Usually, those flamewars are long chains of comments between two people.
Your questions are very good, and I answer them below briefly in the interest of expediency, not to be rude.

1. Some knowledge is shared in journals; most knowledge isn't published until years after it's established. Much is never published, and is learned through word of math, and institutionally encoded. MD Anderson is world-renowned for being a center for excellence in cancer care.

2. Doctors don't read every article published in every journal related to their work. Even if they did, or read much of it, synthesizing into practice is a very different (and difficult) matter. Many of them don't read at all.

3. Why would MDs want to be send worldwide? And why would MD Anderson want to send them all over? Who pays for this? How can a doctor affect change in a large hospital system?
Without prison, people would demand eye-for-an-eye justice. Without that either, people would dish it out themselves. We'd be back to lynchings.

Be careful what you wish for.
It was more of a curiosity mostly centered around liability. I was curious for example what happens if you write a piece of safety critical software and it fails. Can you be found at fault as the author? Where does the responsibility lie is it with your employer who hired you on the presumption of qualifications?
One of my most inspiring tracks for coding
How is fission possibly as clean as fusion? Fission leaves behind radioactive waste material; fusion leaves behind helium. This doesn't make any sense at all.

Yes, we can't do fusion in any practical manner at the moment, but we can't do fission scaled-down either: if you disagree, please show me an example which is economically successful. US Navy ships don't count (not "economically successful"). Someone actually tried building a fission-powered commercial cargo ship ages ago; it didn't last very long. It cost so much to operate that it was retired in a few years and sent to a museum in Charleston SC. With absurdly expensive fuel, nasty waste which needs to be disposed of somehow, and extremely dangerous operation requiring highly-trained personnel, fission plants only make commercial sense when they're scaled up to gigawatt scale power plants. Fusion plants may not be practical yet, but they'll never be practical if no effort is spent on R&D to make them that way.
It was said that it was to remove black money from the market but the percentage of cash in black money is only 6%. The remaining are assets mostly outside of India. And such a major move affecting a billion people must have been well thought out to avoid the chaos. There have been couple of deaths because of this. Two children were dead because docs refused to accept old currency for admission in hospitals. But questioning this is being termed as anti national. Hope this fake nationalism stunts end soon.
This is going to be hard to work through for a few. Especially
those with lower income who keep most of their life savings in
cash.

They don't keep their savings in cash because of will, but because they are essentially forced to. I've seen several people (maids and such) struggling forever to open a bank account or even get a LPG connection.
50%, 80%, 99%. Any other random statistics you can't back up, at all? You honestly don't know jack s-about education. My wife does know, she absolutely excels and so do her students. She trains other teachers at the state level. The majority of people in the US are white, that's who drives this bs culture of "education is daycare" stupidity. You even bring TRUMP into this, who is about on your level. What a clown.

This. I still use iocage over alternatives though.

I think there's an overlap with Google's services.
With Google, I:
1. get a notification if the roads are busy on the way to work.
2. notified when bills (that I received via email) are due.
3. and more that I can think of right now.

That's just with the Google (formerly Now?) app.
With Allo and other apps Google's services are going to improve without you doing ANY ifttt-like rules.

This discussion has veered away from the thread topic, but, regardless, thank you for presenting data. My major reservation here is that it seems a bit disingenuous to highlight suicide, while at the same time not including injury, rape, or loss of property that result from home invasions.
Generally, random numbers like this come from unit conversion. My guess is that it started at $100/kg.

$100 per kg = $11.34 per 1/4 lb burger

You get $11.36 per 1/4 lb if you use 2.2 lb = 1 kg, instead of the exact conversion.
Is it, really? Or is cars as the default transportation the problem?

Come to Tokyo, you'll see how well things work with effectively no parking in general.

FWIW post office savings and patpedhis exist and can be a viable alternative to banks, but you're right in that it's still problematic (and these can be more prone to corruption).
I don't buy it. They never broke it down to explain exactly how it's going to add 5.3 trillion to our national debt. I also don't think they included any potential offset of new businesses and tax revenue as a result of these policies.

This election has proven to me that the 'love Trumps hate' mantra that has been going around isn't actually true. It only applies to people with certain political beliefs.

If you don't agree with them, you are less than human. It makes violence much easier to justify.
Disabling the notice requires you to type 'will cite'.

In other words, it effectively requires me to LIE.

No thanks.
One more data point: Our pediatrician has always been great and keeps up with new treatments and such. When her husband was diagnosed with cancer, she said immediately they were leaving Iowa to get better cancer care. That said a lot.

Credit cards make everything more expensive

Full stop. Credit cards provide a service and that service isn't free. It gets factored into prices.

I'll add that Visa charges 1.43% - 2.4%	of the transaction. I'd be curious to know what the cost of a cash transaction is as a percentage of the transaction. I doubt it climbs that high.
But when parking sucks, isn't that an incentive to take transit? My sister was married in Toronto this past summer, and explicitly requested on the programme that people leave their cars at the church and take the subway across to the reception location (at Bloor/Dovercourt, where parking is horrible).

Obviously having a decent transit option available is a prerequisite, but at least in that one case, it worked wonderfully.
>Fresh people get elected to major positions all the time. For the main role of being a President, few things can prepare you. And for all the details, there are tons of advisors etc. to help you.

It is nice for the president to at least know the legal framework he/she will be restricted by.
I haven't read the actual study, but I don't really buy this on the basis of the article alone.

Allocated parking that you're not using? Let it out.

Abundant parking at supermarkets? Pfft - only in locations with an abundance of space anyway. At least in the UK, I'd argue that supermarkets with plenty of parking have lower prices than those without - since they're not in city centres.

enacting the regulations has no direct cost to the public. Public housing is a line item on the government budget. Some towns purposely dont want to vary from the public standard b/c if something where to happen they would not have to justify them altering the standard.

> I'm curious what impact this will have on other ASF projects

It might cause those committing the code, building the tests, and writing the doco for other ASF projects to question whether their project is being justly managed. I only watch one ASF project, Apache Groovy, and it has a similar imbalance between fluff managers and grunt workers.

Although all 9 members of its PMC are committers, only 4 of them have ever committed code since Groovy joined the ASF via its incubator 18 months ago. The other 5 (i.e. chairperson Guillaume Laforge, Jim Jagielski, Roman Shaposhnik, Konstantin Boudnik, and Andrew Bayer) are all committers but have never committed any code in that time. I can't find any other technical contributions from them either. All 5 are also ASF members, whereas only 2 of the other 4 PMC members who do grunt work are ASF members.

There's 10 other committers in Groovy, most of whom are more active contributors than those 5 I named, and in my view have far more merit to be on the PMC than them. OCI, the company doing Grails consulting, a few weeks ago enlisted an active PMC member (Paul King) as an OCI consultant "to coordinate contributions to Groovy". If Groovy's governance at ASF doesn't radically change fast to give PMC voices to the people doing the actual work instead of those ASF politicians, OCI might tap into the discontent and "take over" in similar style to DataStax, or even fork it like LibreOffice.
Lecture by the world's leading Professor on Procrastination
Try Zapier for that.
There was a study a while back that showed that the USA has eight times as many parking spaces as it has cars.

At first that seems crazy, but it makes sense if you think about the fact that all the places you go in a day need to have enough parking to meet their peak demand all year, so places like malls have huge empty lots most of the year until Christmas rolls around. And then there is the spot your car is in at work that's empty at night and the spot you park in at home that's empty during the day.

Another nice benefit of self driving cars that are shared is the major reduction in the need to all this excess parking.

Say what you will about Microsoft, but one feature they really take seriously is backward compatibility, wherever feasible.
The poster used slang to reference the event and someone else was making fun of the slang by taking it literally, completely trivialising the fact that a huge natural disaster occurred which resulted in death, injury, and hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in damage.
Handling cash ain't free. At a minimum, a certain amount must be kept on hand to make change. Then theres insurance on that cash. Then theres the safe (and registers) you have to buy to store the cash. Then theres the transport of the cash to the bank.

Also, better hope your cashiers never make a mistake or accept a forged bill.

Ah! Yet another "anti-India" article by BBC ;) This is not the first time BBC is doing it (can we call it as "propaganda"?) ;) I've seen a few firsthand instances of people who hoarded illegal cash impacted by this demonetization move. Yesterday, somebody even dumped wads of cash into a lake in Bangalore (near KR Puram area).

I suggest people here to read this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/5c195e/do_you_guys_k...
Wow. That's pretty good speculation! Respect!

All I know is I would have been marked off on any exam if I would have left something like that.
The never-to-be-released ones can be the nastist hellholes (if the aim is punishment)

I object. They're still human, and as they have been deprived of their freedom, we (society) have been entrusted with caring for them. Even the death penalty (quite flawed as it is) may be better in some sense, morally, than "the nastiest hellholes".
Well I'm glad you're comfortable with that.
Ethical considerations have all but removed cage eggs from supermarkets where I live, despite them now being around a third the price of free range eggs. If an issue gets enough visibility and there's a halfway viable alternative, don't discount slacktivism and squick factor as a significant economic force.
Parking shouldn't be free. If it's to entice customers at a store/shopping mall, they can be provided an hour of parking for every x dollars spent.

Under-utilised parking spots should be leased or sold. (They sell for 80-300k where I live)
There is also the concept of “ground cover” in some places.

I have seen office buildings create gigantic parking lots just to “occupy” all their land so that the land cannot be taken away later. If land is completely undeveloped then it can be reclaimed in some situations, e.g. someone decides they want to build a railway.
Damn, this was brought to my attention about 2 days and $6,361 too early.
Nothing at all, just speaking to hassle/reward.
I find even the concept of income tax injustice at massive scale. But I have a feeling that this was a least costly way to shut up a socialist population. Assuming Modi is not just another socialist and this is the last of it we are seeing.
I write tools to interact with games - ctrl+p to do a price lookup for item under mouse, track which cards have been played/are in your deck, that sort of thing - and it'd be really useful there. DLL injection is kind of a pain (and it can be detected as cheating, which this little framework probably doesn't solve), so the fastest route for prototyping ideas tends to be AutoHotKey or something else that can spawn tooltips easily on top of D3D windows. Obviously that has tons of drawbacks, so if this is quick & easy and runs on a 'real' platform like .NET, it'd be a lot more powerful.
Exactly. Let the businesses decide.
GNS scientists are saying there's no connection.
Current insurance plans don't help much with preventative care. While a yearly 'physical' involving an 8 minute talk with a doctor is covered, insurance only pays 10% of lab work and a basic blood panel would cost me $900. Checking things like vitamin D levels aren't covered at all.
How to Find and Contact the Electoral Voters?
The electoral voters seem like mysterious people. I've looked online and haven't been able to find out who they are. I don't think they are hidden on purpose, I just don't think any website has a public directory. How can we find out who they are/how to contact them?
They specifically talk about the fact that cities require a minimum number of parking to be built for businesses and residences. Now, if this requirement wasn't present then economical forces would take over, places without parking would be ideal for less wealthy people because the prices would be lower.

Its an American problem, but it isn't one you just solve banning cars or something. Post-war US built up all its major metro areas on the hype for the automobile. Where European and Asian cities are walkable, American ones are not, and to try to retrofit car cities into public transit / bike / foot traffic is insanely expensive.

Add to that America has a systemic car culture (there is a reason cars are all bigger in the US, and why it is pretty much the only market for pickup trucks) and you will never be in a position politically to transition elsewhere without destroying your favorability.

>who hired you on the presumption of qualifications?

This whole line of thinking doesn't really apply to software development. Formal qualifications are, at best, only required to get you a first interview. Formal software development qualifications are generally regarded as being only tangentially related to the ability to do the job.
Building a parking lot will in no way save you from the imminent domain powers of people who want to build roads and railroads. This strikes me as some kind of urban legend. Every place I've lived has mandated some ratio of parking to floor space in new office buildings, which is why office buildings are surrounded by parking.

My (now ex) wife wanted a titanium ring. She loved it because it was so light and felt like it wasn't even there.

That's one thing out of that marriage that didn't cost me much... (Actually, it was a very amicable divorce; marrying someone who isn't a selfish person fixated on superficial stuff like diamond rings is, I think, a good way to make sure that if the marriage does have to end, that it'll be as painless a transition as possible.)

This is timely as I was thinking about this yesterday.
I was reading about goal setting and reviewing.

I think the easy part is the setting, the reviewing is more of a challenge.

Review your goals once a week? Ok, great - I have to pick a time and remember. Pretty minor thing, why don't I just schedule a weekly reminder alarm? Yes, why don't I...

The thing is, for some reason, it just doesn't get done.

I do believe the solution is quite simple. I put my goals somewhere, and something reminds me to look at one or two. Maybe I prioritize them a bit and set goal dates. Do I need sub-goals, let's not go crazy just yet.

I'm assuming you are looking to create an MVP? I think the challenge of a site is to say 'come back and review your goals". Oh, I can hear your response already "I'll just send you an email or notification to remind you", and you will probably have lost half the your target if you do that.

I don't have a solution, I think there is a nice opportunity here, and a nice way to learn about people.

On a side-note, I created an MVP app last xmas (http://bucket52.com) which was less about setting goals and more about creating memorable events, but you're in the right timing for goal setting. If you hit around xmas/NYE with a goal setting app, it is a good time to get things to spread.
