why did you give them so much money that you are "really worried" dont be irresponsible, its a new venture , dont put in your life savings ... just a couple of dollars , try it out if it doesnt work then at least its not something to be "really worried" about

I gave them money , they gave me coin , everything worked ... maybe you made them angry and tried to do something illegal on their site so they shut your user down.

I hear they prioritize "good" users in their system.

There is a section where there is the type of account you add, if you add a bank account you get special treatment
I’m with you there. Small gripe with the keyboard is when it heats up the clickiness changes or goes away - like the keys stick. Since all of their modern laptops have this issue there’s no point in returning it like everyone suggests.

No idea what op was complaining about with the trackpad. It’s simply the best on the market.
Ah that's why. It wasn't showing on mobile.

Toying with the idea of building "SAIM", an AIM clone (As close as we can without getting sued by AOL). Anyone want to team up?
A few months ago I was playing around windows 98 in VM for fun. I installed an old version of Netscape that had AIM integration built right in. It still worked perfectly, and I even was able to talk to a few high school buddies.

> the remainder is taken after dividing by the number of players.

Minor nitpick: you should take the remainder after dividing by the number of sides on a die, with the understanding that zero == max possible roll.
Agreed! I think I've seen it before as a theme, but I'm not sure what it's called. Wish there was a CSS version available somewhere.

(Edit: thought it looks like it's not using small-caps variants for numerals, which is a shame)
I can't get past the hubris of the title. Sam, you're not Galileo; nobody's putting you to death, just criticizing you. And whatever the unpopular "truth" you want to express is, if it's true (like "E Pur Si Muove") it should survive that criticism.
If anyone wants to play around with a system like this, that is basically "open source" - and to see firsthand the difficulties of implementing such a system on a DIY budget, check the following project out:

http://ronja.twibright.com/
1. Everyone that wrote the code has probably left the company, or is working on more important projects.

2. The code was written in 90s and 00s.

3. I wouldn't be surprised if AOL owns the hardware AIM is running on. Deploying on smaller servers would mean a complete system replacement, which always requires large amounts of regression testing.

4. Big services usually have more dependencies than small services. Each dependency adds complexity and costs.

It probably is as hard to down scale an old service as it is to upscale a new service. It's probably less hard to downscale a new service than upscale a new service.

Also, if your users are dwindling (and not paying) it's less important to give that software attention.
I've recently become aware of Canyon Bikes as well as other direct-to-consumer manufacturers. In one video I watched, the buyer had a mobile bike shop come and setup their new bike. I think the mobile bike shop approach plays well with the direct-to-consumer model.
You think because your code is running native you can spy on me better for ad purposes, and that's a feature? That is just tone-deaf.
I have XM for a few years. I don't have any problems with audio quality. Reception can go mute under bridges, tunnels, or other large obstacles, but that's that. Otherwise, is the only thing that works on mountains, remote roads, or anywhere really.

For the sales, I call them every ~5 months, say I will pay $25+tax for 5 months or something like that, I set the next calendar event.
> "What does putting numbers on things have to do with any of this?"

Before we explore the rest of your questions, we need to establish the fundamentals.

Science is built upon testability. If something can't be tested, we can't extend our scientific understanding of it. The scientific method works by first establishing a hypothesis to test, and then conducting experiments to assess whether the hypothesis was accurate. If you can't verify if the hypothesis is accurate or not then the scientific method doesn't work. You can only verify if something is accurate or not if you can accurately measure it. Measuring something relies on being able to quantify it. Do you disagree with any of the above?

> "I don't think science can explain this, at least not yet"

It's the "at least not yet" that I'm referring to as the misconception. Some things do not lend themselves to measurement, so in some cases it's much more honest to admit we'll probably never be able to accurately measure some things.

To give a simple example, let's say I ask you...

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how unhappy do you feel today?"

Let's also imagine I ask multiple people the same question. What can I infer from this data set? Am I measuring the perception of sadness? What role does the strength of memory play on this? Would I have got a different answer if I asked you 5 minutes later? Is a 7/10 from one person comparable to a 7/10 from another person?

Note that even though the data set is nonsense, the decision on which number between 1 to 10 was based on something (or rather a group of different things), it's just not something that can be boiled down to an accurate model. Any attempt to do so will require such high levels of abstraction that the end result is too far divorced from reality.

To give a more famous example, Douglas Adams' meaning of life being 42, even if you understood the variables used to arrive at this number, what relation does that number have to reality?

In summary, science attempts to describe the order in the chaos, but there are certain aspects of life that do not lend themselves to being reduced in this way. If you accept that, then you can accept that even if science has merit in some fields, it also has its limitations.

Interesting. This was pre-installed on all smartphones I owned (and I expect it to), perhaps this is something carriers incentivize to disable in some countries?
The nice thing about analog is that signals may get weaker but they don’t just go away as easily so you hear continuous music, etc.

Digital can be maddening because it alternates between crystal-clear and OFF, which ultimately I think is worse. Some streaming services will also decide to auto-next-song after the slightest glitch which is annoying too.

MIME was hugely influential. Besides the bulk of all email being in MIME format, it also popularized:

* MIME types, now called media types; a compound identifier for formats of data interchange. Media types are officially maintained by the IANA Media Type Registry [1].

* Base64. MIME lifted the encoding from the PEM RFC [2][3] but MIME brought it to prominence.

* Content-Disposition: a header to specify intended presentation semantics. Later lifted into HTTP.

* Other "Content-" headers, like Content-Location. These were also adopted by HTTP.

Furthermore, the various multipart mediatypes imbued adjacent parts with additional semantics, like "multipart/mixed" to signal that the child nodes are independent, but ordered, and "multipart/alternative" to signal that the child nodes are to be treated as alternate versions of the same content, in order of increasing richness.

The thorough design around multiparts meant that a MIME document is a tree, where every node is a subdocument with headers, preamble, body, body, and epilogue. It was suitable to use as a nesting data structure, albeit it most applications opted for binary formats instead. Later, when text-based formats became popular, they often invented XML-based formats to capture a similar tree.

Yes the automobile industry through their sock-puppet MADD have very effectively divided "bad" dangerous drivers (impaired by intoxication) from "good" dangerous drivers (impaired by literally anything else). The only way a pedestrian death gets prosecuted is if prosecutors can prove the driver and not the pedestrian was drunk. Without intoxication, the only way such a death gets prosecuted is if the pedestrian comes from a politically-connected family. Even with driver intoxication, "victim was on a bike" is often completely extenuating.
"Why wouldn't the dems just go along with the GOP and enact NN legislation?"

IIRC it would have prevented the FCC from enforcing net neutrality rules at all, which makes no sense. Title II is not an ideological position.

(Edit: Thune's compromise would not prevent the FCC from enforcing net neutrality of some form, but it would restrict the FCC and prevent it from adapting to future net neutrality challenges. For example, it might have prevented the FCC from dealing with new kinds of NN violations like zero-rating.)

If Republicans introduced a new regulatory framework for the FCC to apply to ISPs, which gave the FCC the power to enforce net neutrality rules without the parts of Title II that have nothing to do with this issue, many Democrats would probably support it. The problem is that Republicans have not yet introduced that, and have instead tried to introduce watered down traps that would prevent a future FCC from enforcing strong net neutrality rules.
Firefox 57's sweeping changes ruined most of my vim-like ui customizations (vimperator, vimfx). For 2 months I've switched to qutebrowser and palemoon as a backup and dont miss firefox at all.

If you're looking for a browser with first-class vim compatibility qutebrowser is outstanding.

I've also found palemoon to be a perfectly boring/stable/functional variant of firefox without all the drastic/breaking changes (vim plugins work quite well also)
To me, the text feels more like a set of notes that are meant to be read by the author. Even the "introduction" must be completely incomprehensible to a reader who is uninitiated in whatever topic the author is trying to present.

Geometric Algebra is a beautiful subject (best explained in Hestenes' Oersted lecture). On the other hand, in practice, as the proposed "geometry of physics" it has been long replaced by the machinery of differential forms, with a vast amount of literature devoted to it; a short introduction to this you can find, for example, in an article by Ted Frankel: http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~tfrankel/the_geometry_of_physics.p....

(The Geometric Algebra being discussed here is not to be confused with the subject of the marvelous book by Artin that bears the same title.)
My new car has a radio with a touch-screen interface. When I turn the car on there's a space of about 10 seconds where the radio is operating but I can't change the station or volume or even turn it off. It's quite annoying when you were rocking out last time you were in the car and now you have passengers.

Plus, when they cut out it's actual silence. When FM cuts out it's a little bit of a fade in or static or fade out. Sure both are bad but there's just something about the silence during a digital broadcast interference that is just horrible.

In 2003 a work colleague and I were crossing 5th ave in Seattle headed to lunch. While legally crossing, multiple cars ran the red light, collided with each other, then struck her. It was truly a miracle that she lived; frankly her being significantly overweight was likely the only reason she was saved. I was very lucky to jump back out of the way and avoided being struck.

That same year, there were two other car-pedestrian accidents at that same intersection with at least one involving the fatality of a German tourist.

When I was called by the Seattle Police Department as a witness to the accident, they did everything they could to tell me that we had been jaywalking, rather than recognizing that no, multiple cars had in fact been speeding trying to make it through the already red light. Fuck the police.

In reality, I'd say that my co-worker's life changed for the better. She lost a lot of weight, took up new activities, moved to the Bay Area, and had a new outlook.

For me, having seen all of it in moving detail, I guaranteed it resulted in undiagnosed PTSD.

OP is talking about the fact that people did not want to talk about their voting choice, for fear of criticism and being ostracized.

My mom - and almost all of her friends - are also in that group. What was so surprising about her group of friends was that NONE of them talked about who they were going to vote for, prior to the election - EVEN TO EACH OTHER. AFTER the election they were all shocked to find they all felt the same way and almost all had voted for Trump.

Their silence was directly a consequence of the doxx culture that would have meant their entire lives would be thrown into ruin for sharing their point of view.

Progressive culture in the US has become toxic. The sooner people realize this, the better.
If you're OP, you keep a running mental tally of other player's resource cards, so it is immediately obvious which rolls have been coming up more often than chance, and which ones have been coming up less.

There are 21 different ways to load 2 dice with one weighted face each. Here's a table showing which rolls are advantaged or disadvantaged, according to which faces are weighted.

02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
1,1 < < < < < < > > > > >
1,2 < < < < < = > > > > >
1,3 < < < < < = > > > > >
1,4 < < < < < = > > < > >
1,5 < < = = < = > = = < >
1,6 < = = = = > = = = = <
2,2 = < < < = < = > > > =
2,3 = < < < < = < > > > = <<< GOOD
2,4 = < = < > = > > = > =
2,5 = = < = = > = = < = =
3,3 = = < = > < > = > = =
3,4 = = = = < > < = = = = <<< BEST
4,4 = = > = > < > = < = =
5,2* = = < = = > = = < = =
5,3 = > = > > = > < = < =
5,4 = > > > < = < < < < = <<< GOOD
5,5 = > > > = < = < < < <
6,1* < = = = = > = = = = <
6,2 > < = = > = < = = < <
6,3 > > < > > = < < < < <
6,4 > > > > > = < < < < <
6,5 > > > > > = < < < < <
6,6 > > > > > < < < < < <

* duplicated to show symmetry

So for this game, I'd probably weight 3 and 4, to advantage 7s over 6s and 8s, and build more on the 5s and 9s. Most players that have no knowledge of the load of the dice will prefer to have at least one settlement on a 6 or 8. The 2,3 and 5,4 pairs also disadvantage 6 and 8, with bias for higher or lower numbers.

I'd never before heard it claimed that "Op Ed" was short for "Opposite Editorial", and had presumed it was short for the catchall "Opinion / Editorial". But you are correct: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/204681/op-ed-or-....

It seems worth clarifying, though, that "Opposite" is referring to the layout of the page (ie, the "facing the editorial page"), and not to the position in the debate (not "arguing against the editorial position"). The two earliest first cited usages in the OED makes this clear:

1924 R. H. Lyman World Almanac 25/1
This ‘op. ed. page’ (page opposite the editorial page) is
unique in American newspapers. It is a page of opinion in
all the arts.

1931 J. W. Barrett World, Flesh, & Messrs. Pulitzer iv. 82
Swope developed..the idea of a distinctive ‘opposite
editorial page’ consisting of two ‘columnists’, one book
reviewer and the daily output of the dramatic critic. We
called this the ‘op-ed’ for short.

The whole point is that they weren't spying on you. The observations of your behavior were made entirely client-side, in your browser, and never passed back to Mozilla or anybody else.

Defining that as "spying" strikes me as a big reach. It's no more spying than (say) Windows observing what programs you use most and adding shortcuts to them in your Start menu. Software adapting itself to fit the user better is a good thing, as long as it's done in a way that respects the user's privacy, which keeping the data 100% local absolutely does.
This is a great analysis, but I’m stuck on this point.

> 1) Someone who wants to sell $1M USD of BTC may be happy to take $1M USDT instead for legal/tax purposes.

Can you clarify that you mean for the purpose of tax evasion as opposed to tax avoidance? IANATL but it seems very unlikely that the IRS or any tax jusrisdiction that I’m aware of, would consider a trade into USDT a like-kind transaction [1]. It would still trigger capital gains.

If lots of people really are operating under a different belief then this is going to get really messy. If there’s a crypto-correction, non-HODLers could be left with tax liabilities they can’t cover.

Imho what makes people summon Monsanto isn't just the possible dangers to the biological ecosphere, it's also the fact that Monsanto has a history of suing farmers for patent infringements, due to the cross-pollination of the Monsanto plants.
