Would be better than

return x >= ASCII_A;

surely. ASCII_A could be set incorrectly, or have a dumb type, and is more verbose anyway. By using the character directly, the code speaks its purpose.

Thanks. I double-checked and all my folders are checked in my Synchronization & Storage settings. Something else must be wrong with my settings.
You’re right. I also find it telling that John Sotos doesn’t give a single argument for his recommendation. He simply “proclaims” that you shall not share your genome “without good reason”. He says that everything in life is a cost–benefit balance but that’s an empty phrase. What are the costs in this scenario? I’m not saying they are nil, but they’re probably negligible compared to the benefits you mention, especially considering that theft of genomic material would be trivial for a vested actor. No need for you to share anything willingly.

haha, this is an appropriate description about playing from free jazz pioneers like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman
Are you serious? Sampling Lyft riders for an life choice that makes them a Lyft rider absolutely would not extrapolate to the US population.

It's like sampling people in an airport to get stats on how often everyone flies.

Those numbers are going to be very different for different people depending on their situation, especially if they live in a dense metropolitan area. When I owned a car parking costs alone justified a move to Uber/Lyft.

I now use commuter dollars and Uber Pool for daily commute (~$5 each way before tax savings).

Plus most people rely on a combination of Uber/Lyft, public transit, bike shares, car rentals etc. rather than a single option.
Well that number includes work vehicles, non daily-drivers, collectables, etc. A better place to start would be a survey of how many adults have their own dedicated vehicle.
It's not "Wayland only", it's just that properly writing new display server-specific features for X11 is very hard compared to Wayland and probably not really worth the added maintenance cost.

If you're referring to "HTMLHelp" help applications they actually were HTML pages, under native chrome. If you can think of any other usages in non-browser UIs where links where used to navigate would love to see them for nostalgia's sake.

Any person who looks at the world presented in Breath of the Wild and then maps so extremely selectively the way you did only a tiny handful of the concepts onto their own world... would not be capable of conducting themselves in any reasonable society. Why look at 'princess Zelda lacks some agency' and map that to all women instead of 'princess Zelda can summon the most powerful weapons in existence and grant me control over them' to all women? Because the second would make you sound like a lunatic? Yeah, the first one does too.

Why, honestly, do you presume the gender of these characters? Link wears very tight clothing for much of the game and it is crystal clear that either he has no penis or else he is horrifically mutilated. Perhaps a future game will explain how he was emasculated by Gannon or something. Oh, hey, what about Gannon? He's kind-of male right? Why not map him onto all men and start fearing your dad is going to morph into a demon horse-thing?

When it comes right down to it, most people who seek to "analyze" videogames fall flat on their face. They pick and choose only the barest threads of concepts out of a game, refuse to follow any of them to any serious degree, and extrapolate ludicrous conclusions without ever addressing why those conclusions are any less valid than extrapolating out the other details of the world in exactly the same way.
I'm not familiar with threads in javascript, but the expression could be true (though mighty hard to bring it about) in many multi-threaded languages.

Someone buying for $1000 and not selling for $500 will not keep the price afloat. It just means they're stuck with something they refuse to sell and no one else wants to buy. Other people will sell at the lower price (to get out and write off their losses rather than incur more) and the price will drop anyways.
When 80-90% of car driving population have switched over to AI driven cars, the focus of Ludditism probably shifts to something more emerging technology and the great majority of people will just nod their heads in unison with those lobbying automakers.

It is not particularly difficult to imagine the general public swaying even to some opposite extreme, supported by some reasoning like "he probably did something wrong to get killed, the AI cars make very few mistakes."
I think the $1000/yr for maintenance cited is way more than enough to cover it.
If all mining stops except for you, my understanding is that you would own all the hash power and you wouldn't need to convince anyone to sell since you could write any transaction you want to the blockchain.

It seems like the harder problem is convincing anyone else to pickup mining again on the other side of your "I own all the coin" transaction block.
You can't prematurely expire or invalidate JWT tokens once created, unless you keep a database of tokens, and at that point you should just use sessions because that's basically what it is at that point: A session token with additonal data.
Tone: Straight. I think you asked a reasonable question.

What you are missing is that mathematicians are concerned about Navier-Stokes itself, as an independent entity in pure mathematics, not related to its physics correspondence.

I think it would be safe to say that everybody believes that even if Navier-Stokes does have a singularity in it, that there won't be any way to manifest that singularity in the real universe with our discrete atoms. But that still leaves the math question, and the possibility that even approximating the singularity may produce interesting physics.
Or you could just use a junction:

my \a = any(1, 2, 3);
if ( a == 1 && a == 2 && a == 3 ) {
say "OMG quantum superposition!!!";
}

From a fintech perspective, I'll make a thirty year prediction that blockchains will be used to reduce costs associated with third party clearinghouses and auditing firms by strengthening assurances that data hasn't been manipulated while reducing the amount of staff necessary to carry out the required verifications.
Honest question, does HN feel unwelcoming or uncomfortable for women? In particular: “I’ve found that some conversations online escalate to shouting matches quickly” do female HN users identify this with HN? Not saying Leap shouldn’t exist or anything, I’m just wondering if HN has these particular issues that I haven’t personally recognised.
You really have to wonder why HN doesn't just fix their mobile CSS.
What a tiresome rebuttal, I'm sure Lyft's army of statisticians and data scientists managed to somehow overlook STAT 101.
Please note that the UCL page specifically distinguishes DNA ancestry testing from genetic astrology: DNA ancestry testing is in principle scientifically valid, albeit still fairly imprecise due to sparse data.
This is possible in many languages, but not in JavaScript, because it does not support operator overloading.
> Those who speak of “self-documenting code” are missing something big: the purpose of documentation is not just to describe how the system works today, but also how it will work in the future and across many versions. And so it’s equally important what’s not documented.

Documentation also (can) tell you why the code is a certain way. The code itself can only answer "what" and "how" questions.

The simplest case to show this is a function with two possible implementations, one simple but buggy in a subtle way and one more complicated but correct. If you don't explain in documentation (e.g. comments) why you went the more complicated route, someone might come along and "simplify" things to incorrectness, and the best case is they'll rediscover what you already knew in the first place, and fix their own mistake, wasting time in the process.

Some might claim unit tests will solve this, but I don't think that's true. All they can tell you is that something is wrong, they can't impart a solid understanding of why it is wrong. They're just a fail-safe.
I do this, though we could afford a car - and it's totally fine. Of course you make different choices, for example using scooters for the kids and ditching the stroller early, using bikes, planning out journeys, and allowing a little more time. I wish more people lived without a car in my current city, it'd make life more pleasant for everyone.

Outside a city of course, the equation is different and public transport just can't work for everyone, but in large cities life would be better if no-one had cars.
"Concepcion seems to make it very clear that such a rule would be preempted by the FAA. "

I've read it forward and backwards and i don't see it.

"The nonsensical reasoning in Concepcion applies just the same if the rule invalidates class waivers specifically (that is, permits the arbitration agreement to be enforced but strikes only the part prohibiting class actions, which would result in arbitration proceeding on a class basis) as it does if the rule invalidates the entire arbitration agreement (as the CA Supreme Court rule did)."

Again, i'm going to disagree.

There is a huge difference between proscribing action and proscribing form of action, and Conception's reasoning seems pretty wholly inapplicable to the latter, only the former.
It also does not, in any way, deal with the preemption issue that would occur, and every case i can find on the other side of this seems to say they would allow states to constrain the form.

The court reasoned that the purpose of the FAA was
"'not [to] mandate the arbitration of all claims, but merely
the enforcement . . . of privately negotiated arbitration
agreements.'"Id. at 70 (quoting Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. v.
Byrd, 470 U.S. 213, 470 U. S. 219 (1985)).
While the FAA therefore preempts application of state laws
which render arbitration agreements unenforceable, "[i]t
does not follow, however, that the federal law has
preclusive effect in a case where the parties have chosen in
their [arbitration] agreement to abide by state rules.""

...

Unlike its federal counterpart, the California Arbitration
Act, Cal.Civ.Proc.Code Ann. § 1280 et seq. (West 1982),
contains a provision allowing a court to stay arbitration
pending resolution of related litigation. We hold that
application of the California statute is not preempted by
the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA or Act), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et
seq., in a case where the parties have agreed that their
arbitration agreement will be governed by the law of
California.

See Volt Inf. Sciences v. Stanford Univ., 489 U.S. 468 (1989)

Where california's "form of arbitration" requirements were specifically affirmed.
He said per year.

If you buy a 10,000$ car every 10 years that's 1,000$/year. Also, if you don't drive much you can average less than 1,000$/year in depreciation without driving a junker.
No. I did not say anything about permissibility, only about utility.
I've always been much more worried about inherent racial biasing in fantasy than I have expectations of relationships. So, agreed with sibling that this specific one says more about you than the game. :)

That said, in the Zelda games, I was always reading the story more about doing it for the sake of making the world better. Not due to Zelda at all. I actually don't remember the story of the original one, just that there was a bad guy that you use the triforce to defeat.

The 1440x900 isn't retina but it's so much more usable than the 136x768 of the 11" model which really could have used an upgrade. The 12" MacBook screen is so much nicer.
Many cars already do, unfortunately.
That's the same calculation people do when thinking about vegetarianism or veganism. What's the benefit of replacing all of your turkey with tofurkey? Well, no, most vegetarians don't simply replace all of their meat with fake meat any more than people with cars replace all of their rides with Lyft.

Consider:

* Many households have two cars. I might "ditch owning a personal car" if I know I can occasionally borrow one, or if my husband/wife/etc can drop me off at work a couple days a week, and maybe I can use Lyft sometimes when the household car isn't available.

* Many people don't drive to work even if they have a car. Maybe you own a car for occasional errands.

* The cost of parking in some cities is prohibitive. Do you not pay for parking? I recognize that I live in an expensive city, but if I commuted by car I would likely be paying over $5,000 per year for parking alone.

* Some people have much higher insurance costs, and not necessarily due to fault of their own (e.g. single 20-year-old male drivers).

* Not everyone is willing to buy cheap cars off Craigslist, and most people don't do their own maintenance.

I was working at Best Buy in '08 when one of my regular customers came in to buy a MacBook Air when his X505 started to age. Those Sonys were impressively built but with a price tag to match. They keyboards on them were a bit more condensed than on the original MBA, if I recall correctly.
Wooo that is dirty.

In general, I'm not sure how to feel: 75% not ok, and 25% ok with this type of question? As much as I despise these types of interview questions and this type of interviewing process, reading about them after the fact is always enlightening.

That's overly simplified: Google's stock value is based on a history of successfully competing in advertising and receiving billions of dollars, based on their ability to deliver products which billions of people use and many are willing to sign contracts or make ongoing payments for.

Yes, there's some faith involved in assuming that the advertising market won't change overnight or that Google won't suddenly stop being able to compete effectively but that's orders of magnitude less than the level of faith needed to justify the current valuations, especially when the argument is not just that despite being unproven cryptocurrencies are certain to become mainstream but going further to say that a specific unproven implementation is going to win.
Is it just me, or do people keep staying "proof of stake" as an answer to the proof of work concept, when it's not even a given that such a thing is a feature as opposed to completely undesired?

This is [one of] the dark side[s] of the "adaptive" or "personalized" Web. The more adaptive and less deterministic, the less collaboratively and reliably useful it is, even if it happens to be better at serving attention-monster momentary gratification of the meme du jour.

The reliance on advertising revenue models means that all such Web properties morph into being essentially adversarial attention traps against users.

I would pay $50/month in a heartbeat for access to a no-ads, deterministic, guts-openened-with-API Google type engine (even if rate limited at that price to some high-human volume of usage).
The problem is. The bad actors are stealing your data from the dna companies, not from your house...
Genetics could explain the disparity without resorting to a "women are inferior" conclusion. For example, it's possible that the ability distribution is more varied for men than for women such that if you sample from either extreme, you'll find more men, and if you sample from the middle, you'll find more women. Employers obviously prefer to sample programmers and leaders from the high-ability extreme, and therefore end up with more males. However, the mean and median could be the same for men and women.

There are other hypotheses as well that have nothing to do with social advantages--maybe biology or culture has women preferring to elect into other career fields? We also know that (for whatever reason) women prefer flexible careers that let them spend time with kids, and that women are more likely than men to take time off to start a family and that they take more time off than men to start the family. Perhaps men and women are equal in their desire to spend time with family, but society expects men to sacrifice time with family to provide for the family? In this case, the disparity is the result of a social disadvantage to being male.

These are just a few hypotheses that I could come up with in a few moments. Some of these I think are probable and others improbable, but the point is that we have more hypotheses besides misogyny and patriarchy. We shouldn't feel the need to buy into the patriarchy explanation simply to avoid the misogyny explanation (especially because the people who favor the patriarchy explanation also tend to propose some scary reforms, like restricting due process rights for one gender).
"Overvalued" means "I don't think it should be worth this much" in this case.

The fair value for cryptocurrency, just as with everything else, is determined by the market(s) (at least, when it is unadulterated by government obstruction and price-fixing and such). So to determine the fair value of a bitcoin, go to the exchange of your choice and look at the price. If you don't like that price, try a different exchange. You might not want to pay that price right now, and that's okay, but that's what the fair value is right now.
There's the theory that any hardcoded constant directly in code is bad idea. It may be used more than once, or used only once now, but in the future used more than once, or in the future the value may be changed and if it's used more than once, this is a source of issues.
If reports are to be believed, the entire sum total of energy consumed by banks, credit card processors, their computer systems, offices, and personnel...is dwarfed by the amount of energy wasted on Bitcoin alone.

Banks and credit card processors can handle billions of transactions per day. Bitcoin, ethereum, and the other cryptocurrencies struggle to handle a few thousand, and are technologically incapable of non-linear scaling.

You're forgetting that these people can still vote. I can imagine a lot of ways that promises of bread and circuses could be used to form them into a dangerous voting bloc.
We don't know for sure, we only know that banks are not lending against crypto, for obvious reasons. What folks are putting on their credit cards, etc, well that is impossible to really track, but shouldn't be any different than retail sales, etc.
Basically there are a finite number of places that you can "go to next" in any musical context, and some of those destinations are more normal than others.

Like, usually we go to work and then home. But some days we stop by the bar. Maybe we planned a trip to the zoo and stopped for ice cream afterwards.

That all seems normal-ish to me.

But sometimes it's like, we are on our way to school for the day, but let's stop off in Times square for 5 min, and then Mount Rushmore, and then a dentist office in Iowa land on the moon, get a hot dog... and now we are at school for the morning.
Like all types of publication, exaggerating and glamorizing academic research results is good for funding, because it works. The title "different tasks utilize the brain in different ways" might be just way too obvious and boring, so they have to spice it up and dramatize it.

I'm not sure it's possible or realistic, but I'd love to know what sorts of things we can do as a society or a species to make it so that clickbait ceases to be effective. I remember reading about a language that was designed to make it impossible to exaggerate or lie. It didn't work, but it's an interesting idea!
It is all about cryptocurrencies lately, so why not having a board game! Cool! :)

An interesting take on war from a semi-modern perspective is _War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning_ by Chris Hedges.
Clearly not. He is suggesting that the alert was not send in error, but that requires no more than somebody clicking it and further that he doesn't trust the government (in would call anything else imprudent).

I can see a bunch of reasons for clicking that link, from just for fun to wanting more money to fix the UI to the more sinister of wanting to keep the populous scared so that they are more likely to support a war in the future.

No reason to bring lizard people into this.
Feature, not bug.
There are plenty of other interests in the main character, and many characters that you become close to as part of the game. The fact that there is a group of heroes, all very close, all interested in saving the world, means that this game, more than previous ones, is sort of subverting the "save the princess, get a wife" trope in my eyes.

Every member of the group of heroes in the story is a realized character with their own motivations (borne out more in the DLC), and all of them, if you are looking for a relationship - notice _you_ not the game, would be potentially interested in the player character.
Do you know much about those things? It'd be great if you could elaborate.
Very excited for this!
Where do I find a subway that gives me a private cabin where I can leave my things, and still find them there on the trip back?
Every time theres a crypto for which I can explain why the value makes no sense, there's another ten that pop up that are the next big thing, which they 'researched'. There's no way to keep up with this stuff.

Just the fact that a tweet from John McAfee can push a crypto up over 100% is reason for me to stay away from that stuff. Too much manipulation and FOMO going on.

I'd consider investing in a regulated crypto IPO though, if there's serious due diligence and a product that's actually being used.
The more worrisome thing about equality in Java is that there are integer values for which
