How does one manage a strong appetite to learn new things and the compulsion to look at their smartphone all the time?

I recently started getting into photography and I'm finding it very hard not to look at different lenses and Lightroom tips etc etc on my phone.

Combine that with a desire to learn about new tech and program and I end up spending a lot of time looking at it.
This is a pretty good architectural round-up: https://www.homestratosphere.com/home-architecture-styles/

If you look at these, you'll notice something: they're by and large consistent within themselves and the author of that piece is often (and I say "often" because it's a pop piece) able to tell you what aspects the architects of that style are focusing on. Any given style of architecture might not be your thing, but I bet that you can see commonalities of design within a given design family. In particular it's worth looking at horizontal lines (stories of a house); it's sometimes fashionable for different stories of a house to differ stylistically, but do different parts of the house, including the roof, differ notably on that horizontal line?

One of the deadest giveaways as to whether you can reasonably call it a "McMansion": look at the windows. Some of the houses on McMansion Hell have six different styles of window on the same story of the house. Sometimes they just look plastered on, like the house was built and somebody said "let's add a window there". It's not just bad taste, which has a lot of variance--it's also incoherence, and while there is some taste in evaluating whether various elements that a design adopts cohere together, there's a reasonable-person test there that doesn't really exist for like-it/don't-like-it. McMansions like the ones under discussion are incoherent because they're not designed for coherence, they're designed to tick off boxes in a "How To Increase The Value Of The Thing You're Flipping" checklist. (Few McMansions are built by the owners.) They're zits on a good neighborhood.

Ever heard the adage, learn the rules in order to break them? An analogy that I like is with regard to painting: a cubist Picasso and realist Courbet are both technically masterful and appealing works, but if you mash them together the point becomes that they don't work together at all. And that can be fine--maybe the point of what you're doing is to highlight that discordance--but if you do it without understanding how and why they work, you're just creating a trainwreck.

I'd love to weigh in here.

When I was young I took part in a lot of weekday groups in a Christian church (rural Ontario, pretty much the mode out there at that time). One of our regular practices was being rewarded for perfectly memorizing passages. I recall being able to recite entire chapters, and soon entire books after practice. I ended up doing some acting as a kid and had no difficult time memorizing scripts after all of that.

But later in my high school years and into university I loved poetry, and tried to keep a few favourites in memory (and still do) because they inevitably become relevant at some point, and I find it a comfort.

Just find something you enjoy reading first off. The technicals of craft are arbitrary if you enjoy it. If you don't read much poetry and ever want suggestions, I'd love to contribute!

They don't have the strength to revolt. These are the people who give away their creative output for pennies, suckered by the fake dream of recognition, when they could be capturing so much more of the value they create, if they weren't willing slaves to publishers, governments and nasty corporations that exploit their idealism to suck them dry, and instead acted entrepreneurially. Academia is the exploited worker class of the knowledge economy, and I'm a capitalist.
So, you're saying that some people navigate deep folder hierarchies by creating a window for every level? That's just so ... messy.

California, New Jersey, and Washington state, big demotractic states, don't gerrymander by state law. California is a big state, and when they moved to a non partisan commission, the republicans picked up a few seats.

A very minor nit, the client (user) does not require bootstrapping or pre-shared keys. If your DNS for the realm you are kiniting to are correct, you can get your client keys without any client side configuration.

When a client kinits, no validation of the kdc is performed. As the kdc never gets the password, the most an invalid can do is issue you invalid keys, which will get denied by any service that sees them.

Severs require keytabs to validate user keys, and these can be much harder to distribute to all your servers that need to authenticate users.

There's a great book all about the old decisions on these topics by Eric Schlosser called Command and Control (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C5R7F8G/) which is also available as a PBS documentary http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/command-and...

There's some pretty interesting rational behind the creation of those kinds of munition (including the "nuclear rifle") but their argument seems to boil down to 2 things:
1, at the time where the USSR and the Western European states were still living with a divided germany US assessments found that the number of troops we could collectively muster were vastly less than the current standing european force of the USSR. People were very worried there wouldn't be much we could do if a land invasion overran the troops other than immediately retaliate with a full nuclear strike against soviet cities. These were though of as a weird middle ground

2. The Army was getting worried it would be cut out of money and relevance as more and more focus was moved to the Air Force because most weapons at the time were delivered by planes under the control of the strategic air command. They became ever more worried later as submarine launched missiles gave more nuclear firepower to the navy. Afraid they'd be totally left out the Army started requesting hundreds of thousands of "tactical" weapons like nuclear landmines, nuclear man launched missiles, nuclear artillery shells etc.

Because you need a lot more than three or four amendments, each of which might not be ratified. It would be a lot easier to start from scratch.

If you look at the list of lies told by trump, you'll find that they each need amendments to fix, not just laws passed, since it laws are only as good as a president that enforces them.

the entire structure of government can change. There isn't an oversight branch that enforces checks and balances, for example.

IANAL either but I've researched this issue some. Still, nothing I say should be construed as reliable legal information.

Automatic acceptance of ToS is described as "clickwrap" or "browsewrap", depending on whether the ToS is expected to be accepted by going to any page deeper than the home page (browsewrap) or whether it's accepted by, say, clicking a button. This is determined by the text on the site. For example, clickwrap would say "By clicking 'Search', you accept our terms of use." Browsewrap would be some text that reads "By using this site, you accept our terms of use."

At present, it's mostly case-by-case, and it generally hinges on whether or not the consumer had sufficient notice that taking an action resulted in acceptance of the contract. If that claim were to go to court, the argument would be about the location of the notice and whether or not a reasonable person would've realized they were agreeing to the terms (assuming that the accused's knowledge of the terms cannot be directly established, e.g., the author states that she was not aware she was bound by the Terms of Use).

People have a bad habit of assuming that technology law is somewhat reasonable. That's not the case. Because technology is foreign and magical to most people, and also because technology is very fast-paced and law is very slow-paced, and thirdly because most people don't have to be aware of these legal technicalities and can violate them without ever running into trouble or even realizing they've broken the law, ensuring that these things remain obscure political issues, tech law is in a pretty sorry state.
It's generally dried before smoked, or for food products the oil is extracted. I would think the oils would eventually evaporate from the dried or the extract but I don't actually know. It's legal here in WA and the packaging I've seen doesn't have any dates on it so take that with a grain of salt with the supply problems we've had (the state limited the amount produced, so for the first year at least there were reported shortage; they heavily misjudged demand :)).

I'd think it's very similar to tobacco. Vape for tobacco doesn't really expire, it's just the niccotine. And cigs keep for a long time. They get brittle over time, as do cigars, so I would think it's very similar. Again I'm not an expert, I just live in a state where it's common.

This is my election district: http://imgur.com/a/C1UmB. It's in the dictionary next to "illegal gerrymandering." The southwest lobe near D.C. is predominantly African American, while the northeast lobe near Annapolis is predominantly Caucasian. Though I can't figure out who is being disenfranchised.
Yeah, fair. People need help now. But how long can we continue kicking this problem down the road. We need to tie this thing to inflation or just admit that it's not the solution.
Solid start though. Even if the redistricting measure was dropped, a federal holiday for election day and top-two primaries would clear out a lot of the clogs in our election systems. I'm not sure the top-two measure is constitutional though.
>Stealing a base while you're up by a lot or down by a lot

Never heard this one before. Up by a lot I can understand, but what's the rational for not stealing when you're down by a lot?
Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I knew that top-level variables are global, but didn't know that variables in __main__ share this property (which is e.g. different in the C language).
Yeah, Kerberos can generally work across NAT, but DNS complexity often makes it not worth the trouble.

You just need to solve more computationally intensive problems. There are plenty of simulations and mathematical graphics you can make which take hours of rendering time on a fast modern machine, where optimizing the inner loops can have a big impact.

While there may not be One True Definition, and there's room to agree and disagree, there are attributes people probably could agree are tasteless and help qualify a house as a McMansion:

* No clear architectural style, or a haphazard/incoherent mix of styles

* Brick or stone facades in front, and cheap siding on the (less visible) sides

* Non-structural arches and columns

* Oddly placed/sized windows

* Multiple roof lines, chimneys and dormers

To the extent that a "Recently built house in a more or less modern style" incorporates these elements, it can be considered more or less a McMansion.

But don't underestimate the effect of good insulation (including windows). When the temperature hit the upper 90's here, I didn't need any air conditioning at all -- just turned on a window fan after dark to bring in cool air, then turned it off in the morning and closed the windows, pulled down the inside sunshades and closed the curtains in rooms facing the sun.

The upstairs gets a little warm during the day, but is tolerable by bedtime since the outside temperature has cooled by then. The downstairs stays comfortable all day long.

It helps that this is an attached condo with neighbors to each side, so there's effectively no heat coming in from the sides, just the roof, front and back of the condo.
How on earth was this your takeaway from the article? The impact of social political views wasn't mentioned once, and Dr. Corak clearly explains the actual reasons.

Even a glance at the map disproves your point. BC outside of Vancouver and Victoria is relatively socially conservative, but it's a sea of red due to the lack of labour demand in those rural areas.

Cost disease is definitely a real thing but you should be very wary of the diagnoses proposed by these amateur (libertarian) bloggers. Even a cursory analysis reveals that attempts to blame regulation, utilization, or government spending do not hold water -- all you have to do is compare the US to France, Germany and Japan.

A more plausible theory is that cost disease is largely due to (1) regulatory capture and weak institutions, (2) coordination costs between various institutions and (3) what ultimately boils down to corruption (public officials acting with private interests). If you really want to understand rising costs in health-care, military, and construction you should pay close attention to the rise in outsourcing and pseudo-government agencies (eg US defense contractors, supposedly "private" corporations where 70%+ of revenue comes from the government).

France, Japan, China -- these are in fact highly centralized economies which means that they are able to operate national, robust healthcare and military systems with surprising efficiency. UK, Brazil, India and of course the USA (par excellence) -- these are highly decentralized and federalized economies which means large scale initiatives are very prone to succumbing to the dangers referenced above.
I think because there are relatively simple solutions to both the problems you mentioned

* SOPA - don't pass the bill.

* Health care - spend more, if necessary increase the deficit and we'll figure out the problem later through increased taxes or reduced spending elsewhere.

With electoral reform, it's hard to know what the right thing to do is. Everyone wants to stop gerrymandering but what's the alternative? An algorithm based on population and population density? That has its own set of issues. Heck, it's not straightforward even figuring out if a particular district has been gerrymandered or not. And in some cases, such gerrymandering is considered desirable - such as when it creates district where minorities are the majority.

When the problem is hard to define, hard to explain tangibly, hard to provide solutions for, it's no wonder that people don't get motivated to solve it.

Aye, all good and worthy things. A Windows domain, however, typically establishes its own hierarchical time system (PDCe -> RWDCs (+ clients) -> RODCs (+ clients)), with only the PDCe relying on external time sources. Windows SNTP is not really designed for high precision/high accuracy anyway, so, you just kinda go "meh good enough" not too far into the adventure. Also the time management CLI tools stink.
Trying to answer with the author of the mcmansion hell's viewpoint, the digrams on this post are helpful: http://mcmansionhell.tumblr.com/post/148605513816/mcmansions...

In the one you pointed out, the question arises: "Which part is the actual house?" It has a feeling of "someone stuck on this extra part here, this stairwell here, ..." particularly with the mix of the stone and stucco'd/painted exterior, the multiple incoherent roof angles, and the inconsistent Z-depth of the front of the house.

With some architecture, the more you look at it, the more it grows on you. With the picture you posted, at first glance, I had the same reaction you did -- but after I really looked at it for a while, it started to bug the heck out of me. Kind of the same thing that happens after listening to too much auto-tuned music. The effect is cool the first time you hear it, but after a while, ...
Haha, yes. The sun doesn't cycle. But sun reaching your receivers does because of clouds :-).

Last time I worked in solar, the processes needed for the conversion typically worked above 600C (or much higher). If you can do conversion at atmospheric pressure, then you don't need pressure vessels (which are susceptible to fatigue because of cycling from 100C to 600C+ when a 5 minute cloud passes overhead, for example), but then your gas is at a lower density and now your process is less efficient.

Also, the higher the temperature, the higher the radiative heat losses become. T1^4 - T2^4 = much much higher. So you want to minimize the view factor of the heat transfer tubes/materials. Which means you want a cavity receiver...yada yada. Google solar air receiver and you'll get some interesting reading material, for example:

Attempting to try out the app on a slow internet connection and it's not letting me past the signup page (probably my fault because of slow internet).

Is it necessary to make users sign up and login before trying the app out? Especially given that it's a 50MB download. The DoB, password (8+ characters), confirm password fields are also quite annoying for a first time user just wanting to check out the app, but maybe that's just me
I edited my original comment: universal basic income + no minimum wage or other forms of welfare (most of which offer negative incentives, such as TANF, unemployment benefits, mandatory social security, etc.). UBI should get you a very base level of livability (not enough to live in an expensive metropolis like SF/NYC), but not enough that most people won't want to work to improve their standard of living.

Minimum wage and other forms of welfare just don't make sense compared to a simple, clean, basic income.
