Gamecube-style button shapes can be packed more tightly, which I've occasionally thought would be nice when playing Super Metroid and its various romhacks and inspirees. Some of the advanced mobility techniques require complex inputs, and while rebinding can help those flow more naturally, that only works up to a point - when you're trying to reliably perform sequences like spin-jumping, cancelling over an enemy, selecting missiles to get in a couple of quick midair hits, deselecting missiles, and firing beams to clear out approaching nuisance flyers so they don't hitstun you and break your flow, every millimeter between the buttons makes a difference.
Check out the statutes. The 8(a)(1) unfair labor practices have liquidated damages associated with them. You can sue in civil court over them.

I'm an amateur photographer and, unfortunately, you see this come up a lot in photography communities online, but you don't hear about most cases in the media. You'd be surprised how many businesses will just openly steal images from any website or social media platform and use them without notice, credit, or payment. Unfortunately watermarks are either easily cropped out or they ruin the picture (like by spanning the whole image with transparent text). There are some resources for the little guy like Pixsy[0] but reports of their efficacy are mixed.

The usual advice if you find your image being used without permission is to ask the offender nicely, send them an invoice, or get a lawyer involved, depending on how far you want to take it.

This is why you appoint a special prosecutor to conduct an investigation. To grossly simplify: either the leakers are dangerous to democracy, or they're patriots blowing the whistle on serious misconduct. If we find that Flynn lied to the FBI and that he acted inappropriately with regard to sanctions, then the leaks certainly feel like an act of a whistleblower.

If there's nothing to the allegations, an investigation would vindicate the administration.

The fact that everyone is stalling on an investigation just raises questions.

Most people feel worst around day 2/3 when transitioning from glycogen to ketosis, after that you feel great.

Why should you fast if you eat healthy and have no extra weight? Two reasons:

1) What most people think is healthy is killing them. Even if someone eats paleo or keto, which are much closer to our ideal diet than anything else, they will still do things like eat a corn-fed steak. Corn-fed meat and fish is low in omega-3 and high in omega-6 and both of these things are very bad for you (omega-3 deficiency is the root dietary cause of depression as just one example). Yet, people think "I'm eating healthy".

2) Metabolically challenged cells are a definition of cancer cells. When doctors think your cancer may be metastatic they give you a PET scan. A PET scan measures the emission of positrons out of some radioactive glucose you're given. The glucose is disproportionately taken up by cancer cells for a couple of reasons, one is that they can't process ketones. Then they show you cool pictures of where the positron-emitting glucose is in your body, which is where the tumors are. If you fast, your glucose is low and those cells don't survive since there is no glucose. See 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease' by Seyfried.

[warning: The above is not medical orthodoxy, but then medical orthodoxy hasn't made any progress on cancer in ~60 years]

It doesn't matter who is prime minister, the government is always in power.

I think the quote is something like that, which is a slight at the UK civil service because even if you elect a different party, prime minister and ministers control is ultimately held by those who exercise it... which tends to be the civil service.

Another quote along those lines is this one:

Hacker: If there were a conflict of interests which side would the civil service really be on?

Potentially very often, if you're using Angular 2/React components or Angular 1 directives in various locations on a page.

On the other hand, if that's what you're doing, using heading tags is arguably the wrong thing in any case, since their semantic meaning is not likely to be preserved.
I'm going to say yes. If they and their business are completely outside of the US, then unless they are breaking a treaty (ex: war crimes), I would say that it is justice. To think otherwise would be to place the expectation that every person in the world be held to the expectation that they know and understand the laws of every other country in the world. That to me sounds unreasonable. For example, how many non-US censorship laws do you think are broken by Americans on a daily basis? Do you think it is right and just that all of those Americans be charged with a crime by other countries? And that they be extradited on request?

If a law is universal to the point that you think charging non-citizens residing outside of your country is just, then I would expect that declaration to be recognized via a treaty or an agreement by the United Nations. No matter what you think of Kim Dotcom and others like him, the charges and approach by the US government to me do not seem like justice in any sense of the word.

Did you notice any objective benefits to your body/mind since you started fasting? Or did you do it to lose weight?
This is true, but I think you've overstating HR's loyalty to other individuals in the company.

When an employees places a complaint against another employee, neither of those parties is "the company", even when one is in management. If the subject of the complaint is breaking laws, HR (who has the company's back) is rightfully incentivized to show that person the door. That person is a liability, and the company will have to pay if it is sued for that individual's behavior.

If you're running the HR to mediate a personal fight, sure, there's a decent chance they'll side with the person with more organizational clout. But if you're bringing to light evidence of legal wrongdoing, HR is _absolutely_ supposed to be on your side. The company needs to know that, and protecting the company looks like firing the offending party.

> Congress, for practical purposes, went on strike to attempt to ensure that Obama would not be able to accomplish most of his goals - in effect punishing the US people for political purposes.

Or, if acting in good faith, disagreed that his goals would be good for US people. More laws and actions do not mean the people are better off.

> You're wondering whom I'm calling "borderline mentally challenged?" That would be Donald Trump

Thank you for your response, but we're going to just fundamentally disagree and while I'm fine with "in my opinion...", the level of hyperbole involved is enough to make me sit this one out. A "borderline mentally challenged" person would not be able to navigate his way to the position of POTUS.
You can also think about this in terms of guarantees. Frequentist methods can give you confidence about the long-run performance of a method, by controlling the familywise error or false discovery rate. In other words, this procedure will only be wrong $\alpha$ percent of the time. Bayesian methods don't really give you that, but they may give you a more coherent summary of the state of the world right now.

As I commented last night[1], the New York Times has cast Fowler's experience as a he-said-she-said story. Unfortunately I was not pessimistic enough:

1. The New York Times spiked the most damning part of Fowler's story: that HR was actively involved in supporting the behavior.

2. It down plays Fowler's specific experience as typical for the industry and marginalizes it by bringing Pao's story into Fowler's narrative. Pao's experience was radically different, if for no other reason than Fowler is a rank and file employee of the most typical kind, an engineer. Pao is an executive. It also brought all the irrlevant ambiguities surrounding Pao's executive actions at Reddit into the mix.

3. It repeats nearly all of Uber's public response verbatim rather than linking to it as it does with Fowler's article.

Fowler's story gets one paragraph (or two if the one sentence paragraph about going to work for Stripe counts). The same amount is devoted to Pao. Uber's PR gets the bulk of the article with no critical analysis.

What I don't acknowledge is that the parts of the industry that aren't offshored are suddenly going to become offshored as a reaction to labor organization. The idea that strikers will be replaced with H1-Bs is a hollow threat.

There's a reason I've been saying "defend the Constitution" rather than calling specific actions unconstitutional.

That reason is pretty simple: populist dictators need to be stopped early, if we're to minimize the harm. (That is, if we're going to resolve the issue politically, rather than through other means.)

Many dictators (and early in history, emporers) who take over from democratic societies do so "legally". They enact measures to remove the various aspects of government they dislike or which check their power after destroying the judiciary and seizing control of the media.

Defending the American system against a dictator -- and America becoming a dictatorship could happen -- requires winning the hearts and minds of the public, and getting them to engage with the system to show their support.

Without the public -- who make up the military, civil servants, etc -- judges are people in silly robes, the Congress is a bunch of old people in a building, the president is just some guy, and the Constitution is just a piece of paper.

Trump's actions are those of a nascent dictator, the people arguing with me are rules lawyering rather than talking about the substantive issues, and neither should be surprised that people stand up to their nonsense.

I know which side of history I want to be on -- the side with people like John McCain speaking out how this, what's happening now, isn't okay, and not the side who has to quibble about technicalities rather than the substance of the issue.

There is apparently a protocol for actual intelligence service findings, and this document did not follow that protocol.

Treating someone as a liar, however tentatively, can also severely damage reputations, livelihoods, and lives. There is not a neutral option here. (Or at least, a neutral balance is very delicate and hard to find, and your approach is emphatically not.)

And I will point out that the course you advocate places those consequences on the party who, if truthful, has already suffered harm. That outcome is certainly not better than people assuming bad things, however tentatively, about the target of a false accusation would be.
How about taking all these steps so you can publicly air an informed opinion about your field of expertise without getting fired for it by a president whose catchphrase is literally "you're fired"?

i have been a long time uber user, up until their sale in china to didi taxi, and it was a beautiful service here. since then, i have deleted their app just because it was taken over by some useless shell company in beijing.

but what is happening lately with all the accusations about uber, the trump immigration executive order and how uber profited off that, some uber ban in some city, etc. it all seems quite methodical and targeted. do not think it's lyft of all people, that would be too obvious, maybe it's like the secret brotherhood of the knights or something. who aside from lyft/taxis would gain the most from uber collapsing? (not that they're anywhere close to collapsing). i guess there are probably a lot of haters out there since they've been really at the top.

personally i've given up on uber, but mostly because their service essentially is being killed by didi taxi in china.

like probability and likelihood

Go into a lab, do an experiment, call that
one trial, measure a number, call that
number (the value at this trial of)
random variable X.

We might want the average value, expected
value, or expectation of X denoted by
E[X].

Under meager assumptions, if we take a
sequence of independent samples of X, then
their average will converge to E[X]; this
is the law of large numbers.

We might be interested in the event,
call it A, when X > 1.

We might want the probability of A, that
is, P(A) = P(X > 1).

For random variable X, we can define its
cumulative distribution: For real
number x,

F_X(x) = P(X <= x)

[Here are using TeX notation where F_X is
F with a subscript X.]

Then with calculus and meager assumptions,
the probability density of X is

f_X(x) = d/dx F_X(x)

With meager assumptions, calculus and
f_X(x) can give us the expectation E[X].

The likelihood of X = x is just f_X(x),
that is, the value of the density at x.

For the Gaussian distribution, the maximum
likelihood is at the central peak of the
density which is also the expectation.

In some approaches to statistical
estimation, we have some data and seek
estimate x that maximizes the likelihood
of getting the data we actually did get.

Given events A and B,
we can define the conditional probability
of event A given event B by

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

So, if we think of events as geometric
regions and their probabilities as their
areas (actually part of a serious
approach), then P(A|B) is the fraction of
B that is also A.

Then

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

is Bayes Rule.

If we do experiments and believe from
whatever prior to the experiment that we
have a meaningful estimate of P(B) or
P(A|B), then maybe we are being Bayesian.

More generally knowing that event B
occurred we can regard that as
information we have obtained, and what
that information says about event A is
just P(A|B).

Then, if events A and B are independent,
event B gives us no more information about
event A and we have

P(A|B) = P(A)

So, if we are interested in event A and
its probability P(A) and suddenly are told
that event B occurred, then for event A we
now want the updated view P(A|B).

Using the measure theory foundations of
probability and the Radon-Nikodym theorem
of measure theory, under meager
assumptions we can define for random
variables X and Y

E[Y|X]

which is a function, say, f(X), of random
variable X and the best non-linear least
squares estimate of Y for any function of
X.

This measure theory approach also lets us
define

E[Y|Z]

for an infinite set Z of random variables.
This definition is useful, e.g., in the
Poisson process where each increment of
time to the next arrival is independent of
all previous increments, Markov processes,
a stochastic process adapted to a
history, etc.

Fasting is normally associated with religious devotion as described in this article:
https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1986/04/the-law-of-th...

However, even while describing the spiritual benefits of fasting, this LDS leader also points out what science has said about the benefits of fasting:

"Fasting is also beneficial to us physically. Some time ago I read an article in Science News written by Charles L. Goodrich, which stated that the advantages of modern eating habits extend far beyond the cosmetic. Numerous animal studies have demonstrated that caloric restriction early in life leads to an increased life span and reduces the risk of certain diseases.

"There is also evidence of health-promoting effects of periodic fasting. Some experiments have shown that periodic fasting not only promotes a longer life, but encourages a more vigorous activity later in life."
