The redditor is not saying it can only be caused by thermal expansion, only that thermal expansion is a simpler explanation that doesn't require any new physics.

Sure, you can't thoroughly disprove it by saying it doesn't make sense, but what the redditor is doing is coming up with an explanation that fits the data that makes a lot more sense.

How Cassini Will Begin Its Date with Death on Saturn
brief summary, improvisational acting is a lot funnier when the social status between the actors is toyed with. Keith finds it is surprisingly liberating and easy to fake a social status with certain body language, etc. When playing low status people clammed up or stammered and said less, high status they were energetic and took up more space. The audience likes when the dynamics change gradually.
I always recommend Unity3D because the devs that would be comfortable starting in C++ with "raw" OpenGL already know their options and generally aren't looking for recommendations.

Usually when someone asks me "What should I use to make a cross-platform game", what they're really asking is "What tool can I use that won't get in the way of me making my game, that additionally allows me to target multiple platforms"
It's not even representative of Los Angeles. The "one-day notice" thing makes this person's situation different, but it's not hard at all to find 2 bedroom apartments for less than $2400, even in expensive areas like Hollywood. Split each bedroom two ways (assuming relatively "equal" bedrooms…) and you'd have < $600 rent in a much saner (from my POV) living situation.

If you expand the scope to Long Beach, the Valley, and South Bay, I'm sure you could find some 3BRs for < $2000 and pay around $600/mo to have your own room. For what it's worth, among my friends in LA — most of whom aren't well-off tech workers — none split a bedroom with anyone other than a significant other.
NIMBY is a real and powerful lobby.

The thing though with this situation is that things have been so bad and so extremely NIMBY that it isn't really possible to do worse.

Things are still bad, but when rents hit the outer atmosphere, there isn't really anywhere for them to go but down.
I'm reasonably sure there are laws against this in LA, too. It doesn't sound like an above-board operation at all. (Unless it literally is a hostel, as some have said, and the OP misunderstood.)

I find that seriously doubtful, you're going to have to provide a citation if you want me to swallow that.

The relevant comparison is a single JavaScript function in Firefox looping through a static array and making WebGL calls vs. a C++ function looping through the same array and making OpenGL calls.

Lock the Door Your Boomer Parents Have Decided to Downsize
Yes but I'll need to borrow Kahneman's system1 system2 model of human behavior. System1 impulsive default mode of the great average human intelligence. System2 the more resource intensive and introspective mode. Essentially the day to day activity of your average patch of humans is made mostly System1 behavior. Unfortunately when actors seek to emulate or broadcast average culture via System2 it leads to an unrealistic effect. The solution is to learn to skillfully use your System1 when broadcasting culture, but it can be tricky because of its spontaneous nature. Johnstone and 'Impro' are a one of a kind glimpse into a master's perspective on the nature of spontaneity, which happens to be among many other things absolutely status oriented. And as such Johnstone reflects deeply on his life time of knowledge acquired exploring the spectrum of the status scales.
Perhaps my sinister friends at HN will enjoy poetry:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

With potential French and Italian exits coming up, 2016-2017 is going to get interesting. I think possibly the Danes, definitely the Dutch and Austrians are already lost.

Another factor is that although Trump probably won't abandon NATO, he could force Germany onto the horns of an awkward dilemma. Pay for protection or pay for a pan-European army. I think the migrant flows from North Africa and the Middle East become fiscally untenable. Merkel is changing direction but perhaps she is too late to the party, Bulgaria is already starting mass deportations and I think the Northern Alliance is sure to storm the Rubicon.

Now attention swings to Turkey as their idiot demands escalate. This could get quite ugly. Putin must be beside himself with glee! The Yanks must be staring at those nuclear warheads like a hawk (eagle?) giving a rabbit a penetrating glare.

tldr; 2017 = 2016++

I think the idea is you would have a USB-C hub that has all of those ports on it, so you come to your desk to work and plug in a single plug and away you go with charging/monitor/keyboard/mouse/ethernet.
I've read Yelp reviews on a previous 2/2 in San Mateo. $2600 at that point, one review had a price listed a few years back (~2011), ended up being near 20% increase year over year.

Also heard of the U-Haul stories of where there was none left in the bay because everyone moved out. Don't think that's going to happen this time around. Think that start ups, or at least their employees will be acquired into bigger/more stable companies. Did that happen last time around? For example, did Yahoo, AOL, PayPal go on a buying spree?
It's very debatable whether the SF property market could be considered a fair and properly functioning market, given the massive impediments to new construction, legislative rent controls, and crazy tax breaks for longtime residents.

I've been seeing a 9.5% year-over-year increase on our apartment in Downtown Bellevue. We stay because it's still the best deal we can get in the area for an apartment the same size as ours.

But paying what we pay in rent is depressing. I record and chart our expenses in a spreadsheet and the piece of the pie for rent just dwarfs everything else.
Thanks I think that's the best explanation I've read!
I am disappointed by the Touch Bar. It is such a small and dim screen and a lot of attention is required for interacting with it. There is no tactile feedback, so touch typing is impossible. QuickType and Emojis are useless for me. It might be a good accessibility feature, but QuickType is much too slow and the upward movement of the entire hand/arm interrupts the flow of typing. I think the Touch Bar is great for designers who can benefit from a 'general purpose touch/slider input device' (e.g. for color mixing, navigating timelines, parameter fine-tuning). It might also reduce cognitive load a bit since it reduces the need for memorizing keyboard shortcuts. On the other hand, users who are blessed with a good memory will probably not benefit very much in that regard because pressing a key combination is much quicker than scanning and touching the Touch Bar.

The only attractive feature of the Touch Bar model really is Touch ID. If Apple would sell the Function Keys model with a Touch ID power button and one more USB port, I would happily buy it. But right now, I am a little bit confused and baffled by Apple's new MacBook Pro product line. I think I am going to wait another generation to see whether Apple gets back on track and whether the Touch Bar can stand the test of time.
Paywall... Boo.
Looking at a USB-C plug compared to that of a MagSafe, I'm not sure they would have been able to come up with anything as well-designed as the MagSafe itself. Rather than make due with a more clunky design similar to the Griffin BreakSafe, I suspect they chose to omit it.

Quick guide to using Bitcoin as a digital nomad
Here's a 2012 paper from a team at the University of Michigan detailing a "mock election" gone wrong:

Title. Attacking the Washington, D.C. Internet Voting System

Abstract. In 2010, Washington, D.C. developed an Internet voting pilot project that was intended to allow overseas absentee voters to cast their ballots using a website. Prior to deploying the system in the general election, the District held a unique public trial: a mock election during which anyone was invited to test the system or attempt to compromise its security. This paper describes our experience participating in this trial. Within 48 hours of the system going live, we had gained near-complete control of the election server. We successfully changed every vote and revealed almost every secret ballot. Election officials did not detect our intrusion for nearly two business days—and might have remained unaware for far longer had we not deliberately left a prominent clue. This case study—the first (to our knowledge) to analyze the security of a government Internet voting system from the perspective of an attacker in a realistic pre-election deployment—attempts to illuminate the practical challenges of securing online voting as practiced today by a growing number of jurisdictions.

I have noticed a lot of engineers speak very quickly because you are in a hurry and flit between points (ie. Elon Musk) this is a specific kind if social status projection. Another way is to change how you dress. Another way is how you carry your body. Interesting how much people use these signaling queues to categorise each other.

I find the only nonfiction books I read are practically textbooks on software, physics, or engineering. That said fiction can present new ideas like no other. They change the way you see the world.

I do as you do, reading slowly and focusing on each chapter. I read the chapter and hand write a summary afterwards to allow myself to reflect on everything and ingrain what I have read. This is not be a quick process, but I enjoy it and try my best to improve my poor writing.

I envy the leisure of older generations where entertainment was reading and writing. From my experience the crisp writing of the past has morphed into ambiguity. I can't help but think constant TV, phone, and internet hinders our writing.

The worst case scenario is we see innocent people needlessly die due to the actions of other people

There's a good case to be made that we're in that situation right now. Look at all the migrants fleeing the Syrian civil war (a conflict arguably driven by climate change as crops failed repeatedly in that area). The flow of said migrants has already resulted in a good deal of avoidable death and political conflict, and that's set to rise with the President of Turkey threatening to use flows of desperate people as a political weapon.

I don't have a problem with the science, but the doomsday or "Mad Max" alarmist scenarios are not based in science

A nuclear exchange would put us in Mad Max territory pretty quickly if you ask me. It's one of a number of unlikely but far from impossible scenarios that we should consider.

Your comment sounds very confused. Obj-C and Java are not "assembly language", and nobody writes games for iOS that don't use any sort of OS-level functionality. That's completely ridiculous. Especially because iOS provides multiple different APIs for high-performance graphics, such as Metal/OpenGL for 3D rendering and SpriteKit for 2D rendering.

Really the advice should just be don't use JavaScript and web technologies for mobile gaming.
I had planned that. Watch a documentary every day (most of them are one hour and a half long, that's the time you probably waste scrolling on facebook anyways, so imagine investing it on knowledge. 365 in a year are going to shift your perspectives 720 degrees.
Perhaps I'm mis-reading your post, but I felt it necessary to point out that FedEx absolutely does deliver on Mondays.

fwiw TFA is about FexEd modifying their guarantees for delivery during the holiday period, but not by much (e.g. Express packages can be 90 minutes late from the commit time).

As others have mentioned, package carriers are strange beasts, mostly defined by their regulatory status. FedEx is an airline (really) while UPS is a trucking company. This has deep implications for all kinds of things. Years ago FedEx bought a "UPS-a-like" company and re-named it "FedEx Ground". This entity is regulated like UPS which is why you see different trucks delivering for FedEx in the same area (orange are "Real FedEx -- Express" while green are "UPS-FedEx -- Ground").

The Monday thing applies to a service called "FedEx Home Delivery" which afaik is a FedEx Ground service aimed at retail deliveries to residences. That service it appears does not deliver on Mondays. This has nothing to do with TFA.

First, a cautionary quote from "the bible," Reminiscences of a Stock Operator:

"Of course the same things happen in all speculative markets. The message of the tape is the same. That will be perfectly plain to anyone who will take the trouble to think. He will find if he asks himself questions and considers conditions, that the answers will supply themselves directly. But people never take the trouble to ask questions, leave alone seeking answers. The average American is from Missouri everywhere and at all times except when he goes to the brokers' offices and looks at the tape, whether it is stocks or commodities. The one game of all games that really requires study before making a play is the one he goes into without his usual highly intelligent preliminary and precautionary doubts. He will risk half his fortune in the stock market with less reflection than he devotes to the selection of a medium-priced automobile." (Emphasis mine.)

A good place to start might be by reading the Market Wizards series by Jack Schwager. (There are 4, all highly recommended.) Take note of the traders whose views you identify with, and research them, their strategies, and follow their recommendations down the rabbit hole.
