Can these experts advocating “simplicity” offer a concrete way to measure it?
The ostensible reason for them is that "court is expensive"; if this were true, and impartial arbiters could be found, at the moment a lawsuit was required, both parties could agree to arbitration at that time: just because you are or have filed a lawsuit shouldn't suddenly mean that arbitration is more expensive or impossible.

That is, there is no benefit to agreeing to it at contract inception, if it were as stated: cheaper and impartial, i.e., a better court.
Probably because any change to the Firefox UI would potentially break an extension using such an API, and part of the point of switching to WebExtensions is to have extensions that never break.

Also, such an API would allow an extension to make the browser UI unusable, which would make figuring out the problem and removing the offending extension quite hard.
From a purely signal point of view, if you have a good characterization of the drone sound (your training set) and of the noise, then the appropriate filter would be something along the lines of a weiner type which statistically maximizes the SNR. Preventing your microphone from saturating when measuring the wind is very important as well, and a good use of a wind blocker or muffler.

If your microphone saturates its input that will distort the spectrum of the signal you are measuring.
yes! I've been playing around with this while writing this guidebook, and I highly recommend all readers to try it out too, once you've gotten familiar with quantum gates. I'll very likely be adding quantum circuits and their results (from IBM), in an upcoming guidebook discussing some really cool quantum algorithms.
One reason I support "learn to code" initiative is that k-12 schools started introducing computers in the 80s when your Apple][, C64, BBC Micro, etc uses a BASIC interpreter as the core software operating system, learning to use a computer and learning to code were one and the same. It's extremely important for young people to understand that despite the shiny user experiences of modern devices, phones and computers today don't operate fundamentally differently than a 1980s IBM PC, or a 1960s IBM mainframe. This will help them prepare for when technology inevitably changes as they get older.
You're right, there are lots of problems where a simpler abstraction is possible.

But I don't think my argument applies to human intelligence, it just means that human intelligence is what you can get with all the data points you can get by observing the world (and some simulation done by our brains, but I'm under the impression that our brains don't perform accurate simulation, looks more like heuristics).

Seconded. It's got most of the amenities of a big city without the traffic problems or horrendous cost of living. I really miss the greenway bike paths from my college days living there!
True. Except! The bone chilling winters and lake effect snow that accumulates into multiple feet. I remember one winter years ago where, when visiting my girlfriend, the wind-chill temp was 45 below zero and our cars were encased in ice an inch thick.

That being said, I'm from Detroit but if I had to live in Michigan again I'd be in GR.

You can spec hardware, but when the company goes behind the engineering teams back and lies and saves a few pennies per car by not putting error-correcting RAM on the things they say they will... you're kind of left hanging on that. And that's how Toyota works or at least worked when building the Corolla (just one of the best selling cars ever).

Much of the code being dealt with by Toyota (at least that subject to the lawsuit and so made available for analysis) was embedded code which is a bit more amenable to very deliberate design, testing, and verification. NASA, for instance, has a long history of producing extremely reliable software, even proving the software correct at times. Would any private corporation in the world ever resort to following such a practice? Never. It would quadruple their software spending and, maybe worse, they would have to listen to their engineers. When the business wants to ship a project, if the engineer says 'its not ready yet', if its a bridge and they go ahead someone in a suit goes to prison. If it involves software, everyone goes home happy except the dead customers.
Well I know what most assuredly can reverse type 2 diabetes at least in overweight people - metabolic surgery. I was 30+ BMI, in the category 1 obese - nothing serious like rolling downhill kind of obese, however for a 5'9" at nearly 210 lbs (and not really going down), I was big..it's just that I'm one of those people who hides his weight really well (or carries it, if you prefer).

I had a VSG procedure 6+ months ago.. prior to it my (bad) cholesterol was high, I felt like lethargic s__t most of the time physically/mentally, and I'm pretty sure I had metabolic syndrome.. was also borderline hypertensive.

As age increases, none of this gets better, and quite frankly, no amount of exercise is truly going to reverse weight. What's needed is resetting the metabolic set point we all have, and unless you dedicate a significant chunk of your time/life by paying attention to everything you eat (e.g. probably low carbs/high protein for most like me), coupled with keeping in shape (e.g. 30 mins/daily exercise, nothing strenuous but enough to break sweat)... 90% of the time you're going to go back up to your metabolic set point weight, or worse, rebound above it if you lost the weight too fast.

This was shown to be the case with more or less 80-90% of Biggest Loser winners, whom were monitored 5 years down the road and determined to have regained all the weight and worse, more in some cases.. The ones who kept it off do so at a great expenditure of time as I pointed out above.

Top this w/the fact if you have a FT job or a business to run and a family to take care of... you will see the impossibility of losing weight to stave off all the potential diseases (type 2 diab included).

I've got your answer - but you won't like it because you have to give up your food addiction - bariatric surgery.

I've lost nearly 40 pounds since my VSG and am at a weight at 40+ years of age that I was in my late teens. Blood pressure, cholesterol, all normalized... energy through the roof. Moderate exercise, and I only do it because I feel like it now whereas before I felt like I was forcing it when I was obese/heavy.

Please look into this (ASMBS.org), and make a life altering choice that will possibly extend and -definitely- improve your quality of life as well as reverse type 2 diabetes and many other diseases related to being over weight.

If insurance won't cover it because you are not TOO FAT (like 35+ BMI), bariatricpal.com has doctors from all over the world, Mexico included that have performed successful surgeries with glowing reviews from Americans and Canadians for less money than what you'd pay in the USA (e.g. obesitycontrolcenter.com being a prime example, where I had mine).

Life's short... don't let being overweight ruin it.

Not sure I see a connection between national news-worthy headlines for a given area, and how it might be to live there. If everyone took this approach, Florida would be zero population.

See if you can find local news sources, as small-scale as possible, to get a better feel for a particular place.
yes, but it's a spent energy credit, it's not like you can reverse it and spend the work, on something else - it has no value other than as a possible future negative asset, something you might be required to purchase carbon credits to cover

> came without a refrigerator

Funny that you pointed this out, does that make any difference to anything? A fridge is pretty cheap to buy. About 1 week's rent.

In the UK each landlord has their own idea of what to supply. So some places have a fridge/washing machine other's don't. It is a bit frustrating when moving as sometimes you need to buy new stuff, sometimes you need to sell stuff as you have duplicates.

I don't think the decision to include a fridge or not is intentional. If someone lives in a property, decides to rent it out and can't be bothered moving the fridge they think 'sod it the tennant can use it'. Conversely someone 1000 miles away using an agent would just say "rent it out" and not even think about appliances.

I imagine even in the flyover states they have apartments for rent that don't come furnished with all the creature comforts.

I'm not sure what more I can say on the topic of "fridges in rented apartments" - so I will finish there :-)

Where should I keep bitcoins if not an exchange wallet? Hardware wallet?
Having recently escaped Columbus, Ohio after an extended accidental stop there, it would take a lot more than just the ability to buy a shitty house to get me to go back. The job market is deceptively weak, going anywhere requires getting in a car, and worst of all you share the state with Cincinatti, which is like Columbus, but somehow worse in every way.

Seriously though, of course houses are cheap in Ohio. The 3 major Ohio cities are all giant sprawling semi-urban areas, with very limited public transit, while the rest of the state is in varying states of rust belt recovery (or collapse). The few walkable, connected neighborhoods in Columbus (Upper Arlington, the nice part of Grandview, etc) command prices that would be tough to afford on a west coast salary, let alone the 60k-90k you'd make in Ohio.

I suppose Linux users are used to apps each having their own UI quirks to a certain extent, but as a Mac user, Electron apps stick out like a sore thumb and most certainly don't "work like anything else."

Taking your "used well" example of VS Code as an example, any Mac user trying to seriously use it for more than a minute will find plenty of problems. The scroll bars are thicker and more boxy and do not auto-hide; the cursor appearance is different (the line is too thick and fades in and out instead of just blinking); the page-up and page-down behavior is different (the cursor moves rather than just staying in place; infuriating!); what gets selected when you double- or triple-click on bits of code is different. Some people can get over this sort of stuff and use it anyway. I, personally, cannot.

My honeymoon with Austin ended a few years ago. In 2011 I absolutely loved it. Pubtrans and traffic has become so miserable (oh boy, express lanes) that I have almost completely quit leaving my 3 mile bubble. I ride my bike sometimes but that's always nerve wracking. Everyone from LA will hop on here and say it's not bad, the problem is it's not getting better. The improvement projects are bad. The metro rail by me runs ONCE an hour.

Also people are being priced out of homes. You know why there are hardly any townhouses here that were built after the 70s? COA banned building single family homes on lots smaller than 5750 sq feet. That regulation was removed LAST year. Your options for buying property here for anywhere near our median house value was basically buying a condo in a midrise or buying a 70s house up north (which is what I had to do). If you go to Dallas or Houston you can find really nice 2-10 year old townhouses in the middle of cool areas for $200-300k. Appraisals skyrocketing 30-50k/yr for the last 2 years has caused my property tax to rise $200/mo .. twice. And that's with homestead exemption. $800/mo in property taxes alone for my 70s regular-old-house. I'm sure it'll go up another $200 next year.

Median household value is $400k now. http://kxan.com/2017/06/14/report-shows-austins-average-home...

Been considering Olympia lately. Visited a few months ago and it was a really cool place. Felt like Austin probably 30 years ago. People still owned houses "downtown." Super walk/bikeable and a lot going on. I was shocked when I realized it only has 50k people.

Also you're so damned central in TX that I can't go camping anywhere fun without a minimum 8 hour drive.

> Combined, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

I'm just not seeing how T-Mobile isn't already a force to be reckoned with, even without Sprint in the picture. They're certainly smaller by subscriber count than AT&T and Verizon, and have less spectrum to work with, but it doesn't seem like they're actually hurting for spectrum or that their lack of more spectrum is hurting their growth.

I would certainly like my phone (on T-Mo here) to work in some random out of the way places where my AT&T- and Verizon-using friends have service and I don't (though the instances of that drop in number constantly), but T-Mo's subscribers are still way more loyal than any other carrier's, and they keep on growing.

This has always been a worry in the traditional stock market. With a stop loss order you're basically creating a "secret" order to sell at below market value. Anyone who knows about it has a direct incentive to profit from it.

Stop-losses are very important in investing but I'd recommend always executing them manually at market rate. Set a price alert to notify you. Of course if the exchanges are down you're sol, but if BTC is on a bullet train to $10 your exchange stop-loss probably won't fill at your price anyway.
I'm guessing tho that lots of people don't have people they've met personally. In fact, that seems like it would be pretty strong evidence of some kind of illegal activity, e.g. employment tax evasion. I'd guess a good number of people use a service that might sometimes, e.g. send someone other than the regular person.

I think the subset of people who would have a box installed and never use prime again and the people who would give away a key to their house for 1 delivery is pretty small.

At $50/box, I can outfit 20 million homes for 1 billion which is a 1x cost. If they are really loosing 7b on package theft every year, the one off loss of box cost should start offsetting that right away. A quick google shows that there are 90 million prime members in 2017, so they could do a box per prime member and pay it off in 9 mo. The second year they just save 7 billion. Am I missing something?
Hello my friends and greetings, I like to introduce my little blog. Well it's ugly, it's slow but I hope you guys have some fun...

I try to write at least one article per day, sometimes more about topics I like to mention.
It's not so much of a "flyover" state dynamic -- it's more rural vs urban.

States like OH and KY have more rural space, which tends to lean conservative, which increases the chances of hearing about extreme-right nonsense.

I would imagine the opposite is true in states with more urban space and the nonsense of the extreme left.

Urban areas in OH and KY are similar in terms of cultural offerings and advanced technology of most cities. Or at least they are in Columbus....
Electron apps tend to be rather resource heavy, and the UI sometimes has that uncanny valley feeling for they're not using any native controls.

I started putting on some weight after beginning full time work after college (no longer walking around campus, always having a decent lunch--it made a difference!) Two years ago I decided to limit my consumption of refined sugar to two desserts a year. I cut out pop, fruit juice, don't drink alcohol or coffee, avoid white flours and aim for foods made of whole ingredients---fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, etc. I'm at roughly 10lbs below where I was when that started, which is nice, but also it's transformed my feelings about sugar.

Like gergnz, pop is really sweet! Unbearably sweet. Actually most sweets are just overwhelming concentrations of sugar, and they feel weird to eat.

Sweetness is something that your body adjusts to. Once you're used to eating a brownie a day, brownies no longer seem so sweet to you. But go without sweets for six months and suddenly you'll realize just how pointlessly sweet they are.

The thing that really drives me crazy is how _so much_ food is sweetened, even things where it makes no sense. It's like everybody's palette is so accustomed to sugar that now restaurants have to add sugar to their savory foods just to make them taste normal. It's a disturbing trend.

Reminder: the US government spends $2 billion a year on sugar subsidies.

Because there's just not enough sugar!!

Define useful though. If you have to wait an hour to confirm an online order, is that a problem if the item won't ship for hours anyway?

A bigger problem right now is that you pay whatever the current rate is. With the current volatility you could easily overspend or underspend by a large amount.
Not a doctor, but know some people with weight issues.

My understanding is that you are using a diet plan that the literature warns as being dangerous, (for example losing more that three pounds a week in cases of morbid obeisity) and a doctor is monitoring your vitals and blood work to make sure you aren’t damaging your organs in the process. Essentially they are red-lining your weight loss.

In the most drastic case I’ve ever heard of (second hand) you can actually check into a hospital and they will literally meter your food. If you have a proper metabolic dysfunction they will know because your calories in doesn’t match your weight loss and they can prove it.

I walked away from a job offer recently. It was the first company that refused to remove their non-compete clause. They're illegal in California. In Illinois, they're illegal if you made less than $13/hr. They should be made illegal everywhere.

I know one software developer personally who has been screwed over by a non-compete. I know others who simply ignore them, which is dangerous since different states have rules differently on their enforceability.
"A few months and about 50lbs in, I had no signs of insulin resistance whatsoever, my A1C was down to completely normal values, and I was able to discontinue my medication entirely."

...

"Started calorie restricting and eliminated grains and sugar from my diet almost entirely, and all pre-diabetic symptoms disappeared within a month or two. Zero GERD, zero heartburn, no longer obese, no more disturbed sleep, lots of energy."

A serious, well-intentioned[1] question for you and your parent:

How has this changed (or not changed) your views towards classifying obesity/diabetes/metabolic treatments (as opposed to your cure) as unnecessary medical interventions ?

How does this change, if at all, your perception of the responsibility of others to fund those treatments ?

[1] Congratulations on this achievement and your good health.
