Missing Halloween – Animated Short Film
We had a fire alarm going off due to low battery once. We searched the house for 3 hours trying to find it. Gave up, slept through the beeping.

Next day, enraged, we tried again. Eventually we found it in the bathroom trash can.

> the tax system treats unearned income and wealth more favourably than earned income.

The income was taxed when it was earned. What reason is there to tax it twice?

> how you feel about in increase in unearned income flowing to the wealthy I guess.

Or about how you feel about the government's use of it's citizen's resources. Why should wealth earned by the breadwinner of the family, not remain with the family? It's arguably better than expropriating citizen's wealth to fund expaditionary warfare.
I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think this will have been at the direction of the US government, and not in a coordinated way. I would expect they have identified funds that have come from known hacks, and blacklisted them. But as I said, it wouldn't surprise me that much. If it hasn't happened already, it's going to. Only a matter of time.

I think it's one of the reasons why they have been so against some of the other crypto technologies like segwit and lightning. It removes them from the possibility of having that oversight role. I'm not the conspiracy type really, but it wouldn't come as a surprise that they have already had these discussions with regulatory authorities. Common sense really. The only real question is whether they have been encouraged to support or undermine technologies based upon those hypothetical discussions. They are who they are, and they work in that regulatory environment. It's not to be negative about them. They have a hand dealt to them, they play it.
Ignite Ratings to Launch Token Sale in Bid
Had a near identical issue 3 years back in my apartment! After tracking the source (ear on walls, floor and just figuring out where it was) i ended up discovering it was an alarm in the mechanical room below my apartment. There was a crack in the heat exchanger and it was a CO alarm, the disturbing part (lost sleep aside) was that my complaint about the sound is what alerted the building to the issue, and worse yet, their solution was to consider it a false alarm as they couldn’t see anything wrong and air the room into the hallway to stop the sensor (worked for around 30 mins until in unit alarms started going off too).
Theres a small but non zero chance it's something to do with ultrasonic backup sensors - so I'd try this with everything powered up but without the engine running, mostly because it's a super easy test rather than any real expectation that it'd be the problem.
Why would you use a wallet that is in active development and has an alpha group working on finding bugs and huge issues like this with your REAL seed/account?

This sounds like either you were tricked into using this wallet because someone said you would be better off, or you just went against all the warnings the devs have repeatedly made.
Maybe its a backup sensor? The sensors on newer cars make radar detectors go nuts. It’s hard to say without knowing anything about the neighbors security system.
Someone really needs to stand up and say college is not worth it for many people. But it's a hard sell.

Usually people get advised to 'follow their dreams' -- which can mean a couple of years of boredom and stress followed by huge debt.
> The tax system seems to prefer this to actually earning money for some reason.

The tax system favors unearned income over earned income to adjust for risk. If you work a job you're guaranteed to be paid for the hours you worked (assuming an honest employer). Investments have no guarantees and you could lose all the money you put in.

There's an argument to be made that the top tax rate for unearned income is too low in some countries, but it makes sense to me that the tax rate for unearned income should always be less than the tax rate for the same amount in earned income.
Ha, my mouse scroll partially stopped - turns out it's a rotary encoder like you describe, some of the gaps get blocked with dust and the mouse stops scrolling, a bit, still scrolls but seems intermittent (like a software issue), was a couple of days before I opened it up as I was looking for a fault in logs and such.

Of course opening a mouse up and not breaking it is quite hard, they're made to break and be replaced. Current bugbear is Logitech keyboard stand pieces that appear only to be there to break and thus require keyboard replacement - again it seems a design with a penny's more of plastic would be almost invincible.

This is a literal ad hominem fallacy. Whether someone is honest or good doesn't have any bearing on any individual statement's veracity. A statement is true or false regardless of who says it. Additionally the article was written by an author who is not responsible for the advertisements, or really any actions of this establishment which are entirely outside of their control.

All being said, yeah that sounds horrible, and you probably shouldn't trust them as they are a for profit, but that's not an argument as to whether they are wrong or not.
Agreed, but I was trying to show some evidence for this, specifically by looking at ytd appreciation of various crypto relative to bitcoin.
Just curious... At what scale have you run Cassandra? We're running a cluster containing around 50 TB of data and we see massive issues around compaction and repair. While I agree Cassandra is impressive, it definitely comes with a lot of management overhead.
This doesn't matter. The public audience of these ads doesn't know any of what you're saying. The important thing is how it appears.

I'm the exact opposite. RPN calculators are totally natural to me, whereas I get confused on normal calculators.

Normal (non-algebraic) calculators are inconsistent. To get "2+3", it's infix: 2, +, 3, =. To get "cos(45)" it's postfix: 45 cos (and no equals). And something like "cos(2+3)" is a mixture of both. RPN, is always the same, numbers first, then operators, and usually more keystroke efficient. Some operators take multiple arguments.

RPN also has the advantage of (rarely) needing a memory register, since the values can be left on the stack and accessed as they are needed.
Well, putting it in reverse with the engine off but with electronics on would potentially let us rule out anything related to sound from the engine, and would mean it's more likely something related to electromagnetic waves or something else coming from the onboard electronics.
On a related note, can't a digital platform such as iOS or Android be viewed as major infrastructure? How about Google's search?

The others were correct. It was the neighbors low battery smoke alarm.

I had high suspicion that it was that. But not hearing it thru neighbors door. And with how loud it was and the fact I could hear it thru my front door and not theirs. Made the hunt for it so much harder.
Here is $5. You are right.
I'm still using my late `09 Mac Mini to develop web apps on.

I maxed out the ram and installed an SSD and it's pretty snappy now. That was well worth the $ and effort.

I test the code on a Raspberry Pi connected to my LAN that's set up similar to my production web server and move it over when it's ready.

I really have no motivation to buy a new Mac yet after upgrading it. I'm not a gamer and I don't do video/sound editing on it, I just use it to write code and keep up with daily chores, so a newer, faster, more expensive, Mac isn't really going to do much for me.

People have a profound disagreement over the meaning of 'capitalism' so I don't think it's a useful term.

The fact is that poverty has been dropping markedly over the years due to the free market and 'capitalism'.

We tend to see crises because they're short term and fail to see the benefits because they happen over generations.

I suspect what is really happening here is that the USA (and similar countries) are getting closer in gdp/capita to other rising countries.

Yes, but currently it's a % of the estate. I think right now the highest bracket is 40% (correct me if I'm wrong) so an inheritance of $500 million is still $300 million after the estate tax.
Waymo models "dynamic objects" and predicts what they are going to do. There's some diagrams of it in this report (page 9):

https://waymo.com/safetyreport/

I would guess that they already identify and track pedestrians better than the average human driver (mostly because I expect they do it at greater distance). Whether they model kids standing by the curb better is hard to say.
This was my assumption as well, curious why it’s being downvoted.
There is another kind of acoustic delay line that was used in late 50's - early 60's that used nickel strips and took advantage of magnetostrictive property of Ni. I'm calling it acoustic because the memory was in the form of a compression wave propagated from driving magnet to sensing coil, then regenerated. Elliott Brother's 803 series computers used these for the CPU registers.
I too have been working on something similar! But mine is specifically for card games. http://doomtroopergame.com is what I'm building with it.

It's interesting how people think so similarly on their own in different parts of the country/world!
I forget now. Was over a year ago now. It was just one that allowed me to zoom in on a specific point in the past 60 seconds of sound in real time to see an exact dB reading for a very specific and tiny spike.

To my ears it always sounded the same volume. And to some apps. It wasn't considered loud enough to be read in a meaningful way.
> Intuitive constructs can only get you so far.

yes, but intuitive constructs helps the beginner. It makes the material easier to obsorb, and hopefully, by building this intuition up, it can lead to a deeper learning later on (what you call abstraction).
Looks very interesting! I don't completely understand how to use it (and I guess not everything works yet?), but the UI looks nice, and it looks like it has some really cool features.

I have a project along these lines as well: https://github.com/zhaizhai/turnbase . That's a somewhat cleaned-up version that I put on github recently; I actually started it almost five years ago. You can see an example implementation of Battleship here:

I once had visions of a "code-blocks" interface like you're doing, but you've certainly gotten a lot farther than me on that front. I'd love to find out more about what you're doing and if any of my code can help (will send you an email). I don't actually have time to work on this project seriously, so I'm happy to share whatever experience I've gained so that it doesn't go to waste :).
I totally agree with your assessment and it will get much worse if we do not impeach
Double taxation doesn't mean anything in this context.

We tax transactions, not specific euros. Income tax when an employer pays their employee. Inheritance tax once the money goes from the deceased to the heirs.

These are separate things! And no different than, say, VAT on that iPhone. Sure it's between family members , but in the vast majority of cases all parties are independent adults.

The land you inherit is not "justly yours". It was the previous owner's thing. You are getting it but it is not your divine right, except that you won the birth lottery by being born into this family.

Of course a lot of families also have smaller domains, and it makes since to have some lower limit... But let's not forget people affected by inheritance tax are overwhelmingly very rich. Most of the population ends up with nothing.
A geosynchronous orbit is ~36000km

36000 km / speed of light = .12 seconds

So thats a ping of 240, minimum. That's assuming everything else in the system happened instantaneously.

If you can however manage to solve the whole aiming at a moving target 360 kilometers away then maybe you could do a LEO network, and yeah the ping would be closer to 1.2 assuming again literally everything was instantaneous.
Ah, engine off, but powered electronics, got it. Yeah, small chance of finding a bug but offset by being an inexpensive test to run.

Writing a cover letter doesn't ever take 10 minutes, unless you're sending it in bulk. For me, it takes hours, even days to be happy with the final result and to send it along. Due to this, it really annoys me when I get back a one liner "thanks, but no thanks" reply, but I do understand it's not reasonable to expect more than that from people and I'm grateful when people do bother to send a reply, even if it's just a brief rejection note.

I think people who claim this process takes "10 minutes" haven't needed to write many cover letters...

I'm generally for free speech, but very much against governmental support of groups advocating violence and very, very against shutting down discussion of whether, for example, the Muslim Brotherhood does or does not advocate ethnic violence.
> In higher dimensions, there is no geometric analogy and people who rely on geometry alone find themselves unable to think abstractly in higher dimensions.

Often features in higher dimensions can start to be seen in lower dimensions. For example the common example of the strangeness of higher dimensional spaces is the case that a hypercube with side length 2 can have a smaller volume that a hypersphere touched by hyperspheres of radius 1 at each corner of the hypercube.

This is not true in 3 or even 4 dimensional space. But if you use geometric intuition to see the trend from 1d to 2d to 3d, it seems entirely reasonable.

(Apologies if I didn't explain the problem well. I wanted to find a video on it, but couldn't find one)

> I believe intuitions are good for laying a foundation, but abstractions are necessary for generalization and for building larger theoretical systems. Intuitive constructs can only get you so far.

I have a slightly different view on this. I feel that abstractions are fundamentally necessary for communicating rather than conceptualization. For example, you may realize that the type of theorems you have been making about vectors equally applies to polynomials, but in order to convince others you would need to write done the properties they both have (resulting in an abstraction).

Its kind of a subtle point because communication is key to mathematics. But normally, before I try to write a proof, I figure out the intuition for why it must be true in my head. Because this is a powerful tool, I try to learn a solid intuition for any abstraction I am introduced to.
> I wonder when an electronic computer will understand that the child might dart across the street after the dog.

It already does. Google colloquially calls it the "idiot detector". It includes things like small children, teenagers on skateboards, bicyclists, etc.

It was responsible for a bit of hilarity that when a hipster was rocking on his fixie at a stop sign, the car would start and stop entering the intersection.

Cars are probably better than humans at detection now.
> One of the main parts is language, talking to the staff, actually typing, and communicating with them.

How well does this work? I can't think of any other game that has even attempted this since. It would be interesting to see what the state of the art could do with this. I think combining this kind of gameplay with voice to text for input and using either text to voice or voice actors for the character talking back could be super immersive.
No, your argument can be summed up as, "based on these paltry and selectively quoted statements, I know better than a group of my peers who actually have all of the facts at their disposal."

Your argument is frankly absurd, and not only will I double down on calling this argument disturbing, it's also arrogant. You are ignorant of all the facts and literally saying you don't need them to decide that this group of people is stupider than you, and that you can discern the truth based on a single, brief article about this trial.

Finally, I made no accusation, I pointed out simple, obvious flaws in your argument. I made no claim about the defendant's innocence or guilt, but questioned your apparently unjustified certainty about the outcome. Calling juries stupid is not brave or insightful. Everyone is stupid. I'm stupid, and you're stupid. The fact that you think you're less stupid and don't need all the facts to ascertain the truth is also stupid.

Go ahead and report me if you think I violated posting guidelines. Let someone else decide who is being more impartial.
Too wasteful. Bitcoin is way too expensive. You should have done it in Stellar or something like that.
And the idea of raising children in Manhattan is sacrilege. A family there that’s expecting or has young kids will be asked when they plan to buy a house in the suburbs in the same way that a childless couple of will be asked when they plan to have kids. Suburbia isn’t just how we grew up - there’s a strongly held community/cultural consensus that it’s the only right and proper way to grow up.

Interestingly, I used to have a 433MHz wireless doorbell (a "1byOne", specifically) that would spuriously chime every time a specific one of my neighbour's cars set off.

I assumed it was interference from some sort of PIR motion detector transmitting a signal to say it saw some motion, but I suppose it could conceivably have been caused by the car going into reverse.

I never debugged it, I just threw the doorbell away and bought another.
