> For example, you can tell a child "this is 1 apple", "these are 2 apples", etc., but other than the name, you really can't teach a person what numbers are. They just know. Why is that?

I would argue that this is a question for psychology, with input from neuroscience, biology, and likely numerous other fields of science. What you are asking is not a question about the universe, but rather a question about the human mind: why is it that the natural numbers seem innate to humans. In the same way we can ask why language is innate in humans, or the skills to walk.

Regarding 0, historically, 0 has been much more controversial as a number. To the best of my knowledge, we have no evidence of it existing as a number prior to around 400AD India. Also, for the record, 0 being a natural number is denominational. So much so that many (most?) mathematicians (myself included) do not consider 0 to be a natural number. Math has not imploded because of this, we just waste a little bit of effort here and there to clarify what we mean when it is an important distinction.

>And I think 0 falls into this category unlike, say, complex numbers.

Funny you should bring up complex numbers. If we look at physics, we find that the complex numbers seem far more "natural" than the natural numbers do. In fact, I cannot think of a single physics theory defined over the natural numbers. In contrast, the complex numbers show up all the time. Even quantum mechanics, which (being quantized) would seem to be an ideal candidate for a natural number theory, ends up being defined heavily in terms of complex numbers.

I'd believe this if the filler door was on the left side in the Japanese domestic version. As such, I believe it is still on the right side of the car. The article says Toyota switches the filler side for JDM and the American market, but Subaru tends to reuse as many parts as possible between markets due to markedly smaller market share.
Well, yes, you do. At least, there's generally no reason why you couldn't challenge them. No guarantee they'll listen.

I disabled the default toolbar with shortcodes and replaced it with my own with Kramdown versions. I hooked the Add Media button to output Kramdown instead of HTML as well. Also we're having our editors write Kramdown.

Lastly, when pulling all the data, I determine if the post is HTML or Kramdown and use the Kramdown library to parse the HTML.

Everything migrated from the old site was automatically converted to Kramdown this same way and had to have some minor cleanup work done on each post. Not a small task on our main WordPress site with 7000+ posts/pages.

The interesting part was that wp_autop() happens at render time, so to get Kramdown to parse the HTML correctly, you actually have to RegExp replace '\n\n' with '<br /><br />' first to preserve paragraphs.

But you may have a look at the list of ETW events [2] supported by the Windows kernel and you should find the ones you need for your diagnosis. With each version of Windows the list of event providers for different parts of the system is also growing (you may use 'logman query providers' to list them).

> Don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to characterize Kalanick as merely less than perfect?

Not really, no. I doubt he is the worst CEO. The scandals you're referring to are all one-sided and haven't yet come before an arbiter. I think Uber is unpopular among their drivers and customers, and that's a pretty big problem, but, the CEO hasn't been convicted of anything.

In 2005, a video of this nature would have had to show a CEO striking the driver in order to get a public outcry. In 2017, one says "bullshit" to an employee and everyone freaks out. The pitchfork party is a bit over the top, in my opinion, and not productive.
TV Good. Reading Bad
I wrote my story as a root comment, but I get kidney stones, which are among the most intensely painful things humans experience. I have found getting really high more effective than opioids. I haven't yet used cannabis during the peak pain, because I haven't had kidney stones again since I first tried cannabis instead of opioids, but next time I'm going to.
Some of them are just bizarre. We have like 14 different WordPress sites with varying degrees of customization. Oddly, some of our most basic WordPress sites (basically zero plugins) would return _no results_ when querying for Posts. Especially in our Multisite instances. Especially in our sites that hook parse_request. Some others would return inconsistent results for the same queries. Custom post types would most-consistently not return sensible results. Entries in the wp_postmeta table stored via ACF Pro seemed essentially inaccessible.

Most annoying though is that the API returns paginated posts but without returning data about how many posts there are or what page you're on. IIRC, there was a hard limit on returning max 100 posts per query. Might have been higher but significantly less than the number of posts we have. It was a total nonstarter unless we could guarantee that we could make and return enough queries to return all the posts before anything changed. With a 40+ content team that's impossible.

Sorry that I can't be more accurate than that right now.

Side note: I don't know if this has been said before, but ACF Pro is like the single most essential WordPress plugin for dev teams who know what they're doing. That plugin combined with some dev time replaces the need for like 99% of anything else that we would need to install. Please consider doing whatever it takes to make that plugin part of WP Core. Installing it on any site is a really sensible thing to do. That said, their field labels ("field_<somedigits>") really should be replaced with a GUID.
Same here. I have one on my desk to solve whenever I find myself procrastinating out of anxiety. Not only does solving it quell the anxiety, it has helped me get better at detecting the anxious state before I get sucked into another, more distracting activity for relief.

The drivers are just a stopgap until most Uber rides are self driving cars.

They're all screwed in the end anyway.
I don't feel Reddit is exclusive in this regard. There is plenty of marketing that goes on here, and surely almost everywhere else on the Internet. HN tells people not to shill, and tells people not to call out others publicly as shills... but there is surely shilling afoot regardless.

May be a little less just because it's a smaller community, but it all depends who you're trying to market to.
The quote fits what I said
Version-Controlled Infrastructure with GitHub and Terraform
They do. However I believe compensation to drivers is more complicated because of what are essentially marketing costs in the form of subsidized rides. A year or so ago before Uber left Austin a driver told me one weekend that Uber guaranteed him something like $400 to drive for the weekend so long as he picked up 30 fares (I'm fudging the numbers a bit here because I cant remember). Based on promotions being run for customers and increased rates Uber was definitely going to have to come out of their own pocket to meet that guarantee.
Bruce Lee: The Inevitability of Success
$35? What is this 1990?

The fundamental problem I think is that this is yet another offering of packaged channels, 90% of which I don't want. Okay, maybe not 90%, but in their initial channel offering I count at least 25 of the 46 channels I'm not even remotely interested in.

Once you drop sports, Spanish language content, kids content and some of the more useless news channels I'd be paying effectively paying $35/mo for local TV I can already get for free, USA, FX, Bravo, FX, Syfy and I guess...Youtube Red?

If I were to pay $1/mo for each channel I might watch, I might pay $4 or $5/mo for this.

Dump the live TV entirely, just put the shows up so I can binge watch the ones I want. The "cloud DVR" is a dumb gimmick, all the content is already sliced and diced and uploaded to some server somewhere anyway.

Ugh..this offering is probably only really of interest to sportsball enthusiasts who are desperate to cut the cord but can't.

> there are lots of different kinds of pain, right?

Yes, we have 7 or 8 different types of categorical pains listed for this reason.

> Is cannabis most effective for any particular type?

To my knowledge, there is not a specific type of pain that cannabis has been shown to be "most effective" for. Cannabis acts on important receptors as an agonist or antagonist throughout our bodies.

> Is it probably the wrong choice for any particular type?

There is no evidence, that I'm aware of, that would indicate cannabis would exacerbate or otherwise extend pain for any type of treatment. On the contrary, we discovered our endocannabinoid system[1], which is a strong regulator of pain and discomfort signals, through research and treatment with cannabis.

During the Cold War, Americans opposing communism believed they were standing up for "freedom" and "democracy"--not capitalism.

People today get so caught up in economic arguments that they overlook the fact that communism was a system of government during the Cold War... a system that required censorship and oppression to maintain power.

The word "capitalist" has never been embraced broadly as a social movement in the U.S. Its earliest usages in the U.S. were largely pejorative, by socialists and communists attempting to highlight differences.

Even today, people who create and accumulate capital in the U.S. rarely refer to themselves as "capitalists." They call themselves entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, executives, businesspeople, investors, etc.

Travis: So we are reducing the number of black cars in the next few months.
Fawzi: It’s good.
Travis: You probably saw some email.
Fawzi: I saw the email [that says] it starts in May. But you’re raising the standards and dropping the prices.
Travis: We’re not dropping the prices on Black.
Fawzi: But in general.
Travis: In general, but we have competitors. Otherwise we’d be out of business.
Fawzi: Competitors? You had the business model in your hands, you could have the prices you want but you choose to buy everybody a ride.
Travis: No, no no. You misunderstand me. We started high-end. We didn’t go low-end because we wanted to. We went low-end because we had to because we’d be out of business.
Fawzi: But people are not trusting you anymore. Do you think people will buy cars anymore? ... I lost $97,000 because of you. I'm bankrupt because of you. You keep changing every day. You keep changing every day.
Travis: Hold on a second. What have I changed about Black?
Fawzi: You changed the whole business! You dropped the prices.
Travis: On Black? Bullshit.
Fawzi: We started with $20.
Travis: You know what, some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!
Fawzi: Good luck to you too, I know that you aren’t going to go far.
Honestly, most of the conversation is a lot more genuine than most interactions as seen on the internet. Most execs would have shut up and avoided any discussion. I am not saying that I agree with everything, but of all the Uber news, this is the least worrying.
I don't think I'd personally use it as I have tv. However I can see it being useful for cord cutters. It would be nice to see some sort of bundling. Pay x amount, get youtube premium stuff, with movie rentals, and streaming tv with other google features etc such as google play/music. However have it broken up is a good option too. I think both options could be useful.
My wife who doesn't even drive, told me about the arrow(I bet she saw it online) just 2 weeks ago.

I was very surprised that was what the arrow is for. I never really paid any attention to the direction or its purpose.

I drove a loaner car today, and immediately knew which side to pull up to for gas from the arrow. Great unknown idea lol

Oroville Dam: Photos reveal extensive damage
It is a truth; however here it is being misapplied I believe. Failure to accept responsibility for failings is a sign of neuroticism... Trump has it; so does Kalanick it would appear from these reports (and all others).

In reality it is necessary for growth (and for leadership) to accept responsibility for things. In medicine, every layer up the chain is responsible for the actions of those below; i have encountered many situations where a senior accepts and owns responsibility for a failing or mistake even though that mistake was performed by a junior doctor/nurse. Blame culture is toxic; ownership therapeutic as it leads to growth. In the situation you quote above, it is ironic.
Sorry Travis; once an asshole, always an asshole;

No, people actually do change, you know.
Imagine there's a scrollable list of items and you want to scroll one particular item into view when some event happens. Without smooth scroll the item just pops into view and the user may not see it happening. It's a usability issue-- when the user interface jerks instantly, the user can lose context about what's happening. When it's smoothly animated it's easier for the user to keep track of what's happening in the user interface, and to see how one interaction triggers the next.

Done right, animation isn't just snazzy, it produces a more usable, more approachable user interface. It helps the user keep a good mental model of what's going on. It's easier for them to mentally track "ah, when I select this item, it also selects that other item in the other list".

It's the same reason why when you click an app on your phone it animates up from the app icon when the window opens. The animation wordlessly tells the user "I'm opening this app, and the window that's appearing is born of the icon you just clicked." Necessary? Not exactly. More natural? Absolutely. Nothing just snaps into existence in the real world, except for maybe things like lightning.

When things appear out of nowhere it can be jarring. Animation is especially called for when it might not be intuitive why you're making a change to the visual state, or when you want to call attention to something.

Keep in mind that a generation ago, pretty much every piece of software (even games!) came with a printed manual that the user needed to read first before expecting to be able to accomplish anything. Today users expect to be able to figure things out for themselves, and animation is part of the user experience that helps users learn their applications naturally by exploring the user interface.

I'm guessing (matter-of-factly) that you don't have a degree in psychology.
The problem with communism is the same problem with unregulated capitalism: when you give extraordinary power to a small minority, everyone else suffers.

There's also the problem that violent revolutions are extremely risky, and are unlikely to result in anything but a dictatorship, exacerbating the previous point.

Most failed communist communist governments have these problems, as do most failed capitalist governments. Until you have a peaceful transition into a communist system properly hardened against corruption, you'll have little real reason to believe it is any more flawed than capitalist economies.
Can you work in USA on B1/B2 visa?
But we have made assholes extremely successful in the past (e.g. Steve Jobs). May be they all just want to follow the trend.
Society has to decide what "right" people have to a certain minimum quality of life and access to services. It turns out the level can actually be quite high, one only need look to the highly successful Nordic states.

The argument in america seems to be that if you work hard, you can have a decent life and a house in the suburbs. There are already problems here, what of the people born with disabilities?

But assuming everyone is capable of work, there is still the assumption that adequately rewarding work exists for everybody. Perhaps this assumption can be summarised as the american dream that people need to wake from. Conservatives argue that bringing back well paying, low skilled jobs can restore this dream time. Perhaps if they also rolled back 50 years of legislation and restored the unions this would be true, but times have changed.

The reality is that access to rewarding work almost requires a privileged upbringing. It is completely unfair to assume that if poor people worked harder they would make it. I personally have a friend who grew up in a trailer park. After slogging it out through multiple entrepreneurial ventures, in his 30's he used his life savings to relocate his mother to find better medical care. Imagine at 30, a time when by your argument one should be buying and reading books, the burden of caring for you parents fell solely on your shoulders. Even in your 30's you are at a disadvantage due to your family's wealth.

I personally believe that I should not have such an automatic advantage (for what its worth I do). I would be much happier in a world where I was taxed 50% but lived in a world where I knew the person serving me at a restaurant wasn't potentially a desperate single mother trying to hold down a job to care for her child. A person who probably doesn't have time for books.

Before we get to charity, long story short I don't believe that wealthy people should get to choose were their money goes. That's a decision for society as a whole, and I believe people should be represented in that decision equally. Therefore I don't donate to charity.

Either way they have to communicate online, and either way there is some data on my disk (cookies). Storing my 500+ password on paper is just not practical, and just storing a small fraction doesn't help much because those would be the most frequently used ones.

I've never lost my wallet, but my brother lost his a couple months ago. I never really change my passwords except when I was switching from my old crap password to unique strong passwords in my database. The problem with losing my wallet would be that I would lost access to all my accounts if that was the only copy of the paper. It would be an availability problem.
