Alexa rank isn't a very accurate metric and I wouldn't give it much thought. I would focus more on the actual users they have on their ecosystem, demographic, frequency of ordering, etc.
Thanks, I know about service brokers. My point was that there's an opportunity for a vendor to do this better out of the box.
For those wondering: the actual limit was 2³² milliseconds (and I remember it as would crash, not could crash)
They are pointless to you.

Their universality points to their importance to humans, in general. I mean, one of the key markers of our species is that we ritually dispose of our dead. That feature of humanity goes back hundreds of thousands of years and it evolved.
Well, I do tend to hold that objection for lots of economic policies ;) Governments can be really bad at foreseeing things like this and slow at changing direction once they are detected. Obviously one can take that too far and do _nothing_ out of fear of unintended consequences. But to the degree we can think through those potential outcomes and devise ways to test for them, we should.
My experience in writing a technical book 8 years ago was the same:

https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2010/01/the-economics-of-w...

I made more money from Amazon affiliate fees linking to our book than I did the actual book. Way more. If you’re out to make money short term, you’re better off writing book reviews then books.

Having said that, the book gave me some credibility with clients for a couple of years when I was starting a consulting practice. When clients asked, “have you got experience with performance tuning databases?” I was able to point to the book. Today, with self published books being so prevalent, I don’t think having a listing in Amazon is as influential as it was.
Legal framework (taxes and ICOs) in France
I respectfully disagree. As a fellow lawyer, I think it’s the standard legal answer...maybe.

Oil is a commodity and as described by you that transaction wouldn’t be a security. However, the way you frame it:

>There's no underlying business that's being invested in or paying dividends to you.

>You don't own shares in his company.

You make it sound that only equity/shares are securities, which isn’t the standard.

>It's 100% a speculation on appreciation.

While there is massive speculation, that’s not the standard either, and I don’t think your factual conclusion is accurate either. The investors are relying on the efforts of others for their profits. The article you link concludes Ether isn’t a security because the investors aren’t relying on the issuer/promoter rather 3rd party developers. But case law doesn’t limit the reliance to the promoter it specifically uses the word “others”, but even so, I think it’s easily argued investors are relying on the foundation to bring 3rd party developers to the table.

At the end of the day...the SEC could have done a Howey analysis on Ether itself, which in my opinion would have been much more interesting and informative than the SEC retroactively doing an analysis on the DAO.
I have a hotch-potch of tools and then glue the results together by hand. It doesn't take me long, but I vet all the results to make sure it's all valid.

It's pretty trivial stuff - a GET on hn.algolia.com and a simply python script to pull just the bits that matter.
I remember Windows 95 being a big step up from 3.11 and its various third-party shells. I was using Xerox TabWorks prior - which was better than the default Windows 3.11 shell, but not by much. Windows 95 was a big step forward in terms of actual usability.
I check luggage maybe one in twenty flights. And rarely drive myself to the airport. So your mileage will vary. That said, I hate cutting flights close so I always try to arrive st the airport 90-120 minutes before the flight even if I essentially never need to have done so.
Finally a car manufacturer realizes it can't out-compete a software company at making good software.

The reason infotainment sucks so hard is that car companies want to "own the experience" and also want to cut costs, so they underinvest and create poor experiences.
Maybe subscriptions will start going down, but Adobe's most recent quarterly earnings report [https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/investor-re...] says:

>Creative revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $1.23 billion, up from $942.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and representing 30% year-over-year growth.

So not only are they still selling, but subscriptions increased 30% over the past year. Clearly it's working for them so much that they're finding success doing the same thing for the document cloud:

>Document Cloud revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $231.0 million, up from $195.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as we continue to transition Document Cloud to a subscription-based model.
If your flight time is half, you can run twice as many flights per day with the same plane, which halves your amortized capital cost per flight. That doesn't get you all the way there, but it's a significant cost reduction, which combined with others, could conceivably get you there.
True, nothing in nature guarantees fairness.

But I believe that one purpose of civilization is to make life fair.

Not to give everyone an equal slice, but to give them an adequate slice so that they have a fair shot at having a healthy, productive, satisfying life. As someone who has more than I need (not by a ton, but all my bills are paid, and I have some surplus), I want to share it effectively at least with those who are struggling through no fault of their own.
There is a study often cited by Thomas Sowell, which is never, ever mentioned by those on the political left in the US and never mentioned by the far right in the US -- as it goes against the narrative of both those groups. The study found that the school aged children of African American servicemen in Germany had the same average IQ as their classmates.

Something we're doing to large numbers of urban children in the US is morally equivalent to putting lead in the water. It's largely been the political left in the US which has had control of large urban areas. The culture of the US in the 1st half of the 20th century wasn't harmful in this way. Poles and Italians were able to increase their average IQ's to parity with the US as a whole in that period. African Americans were also making progress in that period, but this stopped in the 1960's.

One of the historical patterns which comes across in Thomas Sowell's work is that of minority elites continuing the cultural isolation of their own group to maintain their own power. One of the chief tools of maintaining cultural isolation is identity politics.
The vaccine caused a number of issues. Given the nature of the bacteria, it's DNA and multiple forms, two of which are resistant to antibiotics (biofilm, round body-starvation form), it is not too feasible to develop a vaccine. It's a very capable bacteria. Try reading "Healing Lyme" by Buhner.
> Yes, they probably should.

Until internet publishers reach that conclusion themselves, is it OK to force a different business model on them? To be clear, that "business model" is "I don't like the form of payment this business is asking for, so I'll take the merchandise for free instead."

When a business has high prices or a poor experience, it's customary to shop elsewhere, not to raid the store.
Tempe police obtained the video from Uber, Uber could have easily altered it before handing it over. Uber has behaved badly in the past, and they had the motivation and past experience to do what it takes to advance their agenda.

Remember, Uber terminated its autonomous driving testing as a result of this preventable tragedy.
super cool. Nice work
I got bit by a few ticks and we would always light a match, blow it out, and apply the still hot match to the visible back end of the tick. Scares the little bugger and they pop right out.
Annoying Online Ads Do Cost Business
1.) We'll save your list to localStorage so that you can come back to it later on the same computer. The reason we have Facebook/Twitter sign-in is so you can sync the saved list across devices. We chose FB/Twitter for single sign-on so people wouldn't have to do email/password. We're considering adding Google to it as well.

So you don't have to use login to save items for later; just use the same computer next time and they should be there when you come back if that's what you prefer.

2.) "Available Now" represents content that has a release date of today or earlier. We do have some content on here that's unreleased, upcoming, or early release.

I understand that "upcoming content" may conflict with the "Find something to watch tonight," slogan, but considering that over 98% of our content is available to watch now... I think it still applies.
Twitter has hundreds of times more accounts. It depends on the audience, everyone's mileage may vary, so on and so forth, but as a general rule of thumb, if you're drawing from a pool that's 300x bigger, it's going to be easier to get orders of magnitude more followers. This is not Mastodon's fault; network effects are what they are.

Having said that, anecdotally I find it very hard to get people outside of a relatively narrow demographic to get on board with it. More than one fairly technically literate friend of mine has stopped about at the point where they're confronted with the choice of what instance to create an account on, especially if they choose and then get told "no, that instance is full, go create one somewhere else." It's not clear that the instance, at least theoretically, doesn't matter.

Note I say "theoretically," because it turns out it can matter. If the instance you choose is maintained poorly, your experience may be worse. (This is in fact my experience.) And it's not clear how to migrate between instances while keeping your social graph intact. Mastodon has a long way to go in terms of user experience to be accessible to people who aren't dedicated enough to the idea of a decentralized Twitter alternative to put up with this stuff.

Last but not least: it's hard for me not to notice that in the year or so I've had a Mastodon account, it's been very hard for me to discover people to follow, especially after the occasional burst of new users dies down. The people I followed are, except for two or three folks who are clearly dedicated to it over Twitter for philosophical reasons, mostly...just not using it now. (Of the two dozen people I followed, my timeline is now pretty much just content from two users, one of who is only "there" because his blog crossposts automatically.) You know where most of them are still active? Twitter.

tl;dr: it might be great for a project like OpenBench to also be on Mastodon, but not exclusively be on it.
People often discuss intelligence in a pet as an unqualified positive, and I understand it. We like to interact with pets, and the more human like intelligence they have, the more easily we can relate to them. Intelligence is of course something we value, but I do think we overlook how it can become a problem as well.

I have heard some parrot owners speak dismissively or disparagingly of the cockatiel's intelligence, but like you I think they are a good balance for avian pets. They're cute, curious little creatures. They aren't notably good talkers (though they can semi-pronounce a few words). They are good singers and can learn a few tunes, though they tend to warble and free form after the first seven or so notes (I find this endearing). I also find that cockatiels are more physically affectionate than many parrots with a wider range of people, and are less prone to bonding exclusively to one person to the angry, biting rejection of anyone else (one theory is that this is because they're more migratory and need to form more relationships than many parrots). Just to be clear, cockatiels do have their personal preferences and bond, but I grew up with 'tiels, and they all readily accepted extensive head scitches from every member of the family and people they recently met.

They aren't in the same league as many parrots in terms of intelligence.

Overall, having grown up with cockatiels... well, it's hard to know what's going on in their heads, but they do seem happy. We always allowed ours to be flighted (tougher with larger birds), and they all got a lot of attention which is pretty critical.

In spite of the positive words here, I am 50-50 on even cockatiels as pets. I just don't think people understand how many decades of commitment they really do take.
This smells exactly like the sort of stuff you'd read in a nationalist-revised history textbook. Hindu Arabic is a fine way to describe it, since, as others have mentioned, it's exactly the Arabic-writing Persians who transmitted the idea to the West. I think this naming is just as permissible as referring to the Latin alphabet as the English alphabet, which is what you just did ;)

Also, the word "firangi" means foreigner in Hindi, but it also means "Frankish person". Should Englishmen in India be upset that they are being grouped with the French?
This really speaks to other cues that we use while driving that are more complex that just the location and velocity of objects/people. In this case: attention and gaze.

I sometimes do the "walk up to the lane and wait" thing, but I always look up and make eye contact with the driver to communicate that I know they exist and I'm not walking out in front of them. And when I'm driving and someone is walking up to my lane, the presence of their gaze is what I use to decide whether to continue (cautiously) or slow down and be ready to stop.

I know that CV as a field has pretty advanced gaze/attention detection (e.g. see faceid), but I wonder if it's actually a part of self-driving car tech yet.
True - Today it does not directly fit into existing workload controllers (Deployment, ReplicaSet etc) but SIG Api Machinery actually saw that others would also like to see CRD support in templates of controllers.

If this lands, then KubeVirt would get that support "for free" (tm)
In my imagined version there was a chemical sampler/detector connected to a machine-learning algorithm, so basically a robot was doing the smelling.
My understanding is that botulism needs an air-free environment to grow. Also, low acidity. Some fruit is quite acidic, and some fruit-fresh stuff is also acid. Probably quite low botulism risk.
> penalizing himself for failed builds in a really fun way

That doesn't make sense. Penalties aren't fun. Building software isn't a game (generally).

And there sure seems like there's a real possibility of wasteful behavior, e.g. someone 'spamming' the build system to effect a large overall donation.
> The researchers studied 35 million users of the Pandora streaming music service during the period from June 2014 to March 2016. Because of the large sample size, all the findings in the study are statistically significant at the p < .01 level, and I won’t even bother discussing the statistical analyses, which you can find in the full paper.

> 18.3 million users were assigned to a control group who used the normal Pandora service with its normal amount of advertising: 3.6 ads per hours of listening.

> 1.8 million users were assigned to a low-ad group who were served 25% less advertising than the control group (2.7 ads per hour).

> 1.8 million users were assigned to a high-ad group who were served 38% more advertising than the control group (5.0 ads per hour).

>(13 million users were assigned to intermediate treatment groups that I will not discuss further.)
The results are clear, though not as striking as I would have expected: after 1.5 years of being exposed to the experimental conditions, people did use the service more, the fewer ads they were served. At the end of the experiment:

> The low-ad group listened for 1.7% more hours weekly than the control group.

> The high-ad group listened for 2.8% fewer hours weekly than the control group.
I am not super familiar with React, are these good practices I ask because the term "museum" makes me think of old or outdated. I am interested in learning but don't want to start with legacy.
I’m in my early 30s and watching how my friends are “progressing” on the novelty curve is interesting, especially as it comes to tech and pastimes. We were all big gamers for a long while, and while I’m much more interested in people they still churn through the games. I kind of wonder if there is a natural point of when it all starts to feel the same, or whether it’s really possible to get be that sense of novelty forever. I guess people can be film buffs all their lives!
That's phenomenal! I agree that building an audience is the hardest part and it's what traditional publishers bring to the table for most people.
Just last week I saw someone self-publish some artwork in an area they have an audience and they made $4000 in a day. The only marketing they did was a single tweet.
I don't think most individuals would be able to gain this level of authority without years of work and spending lots of money traveling to and speaking at conferences and writing blog posts or publishing videos.
How were your sleep patterns? I'm frankly amazed we don't consider that stress and sleep are two sides of the same physiological coin - the autonomic nervous system. Sleep is quite simply the recovery from stress and the damage caused.
Because a lot of the internet access(user count) in India is coming from smartphones on 4G. So, it might be that most ecommerce purchases are from apps not the site itself.
This is the opposite for me. I'm switching from an iphone to an android mainly so I can use android auto with google maps support in my new car. Google assistant is the cherry on top. This would be nice though since I would not have to switch phones just to get around apple carplay forcing their garbage maps on me.
It is ritual attached to function. We also non-ritualistically bury our dead.

Ritual, alone, is fine. But human beings inevitably have to impose their BS on other people, who don't always agree or want what is being imposed. If the ritual-followers could keep to themselves that would be one thing. But no, its 'ooooh you must share in this!'
How is that the opposite? :)

It just means that there are a lot of folks who stay on Python, but want better deployment. That's great, but we don't see those who simply move away from Python (and use Electron with a Rust backend for example, or go full web + maybe native Android/iOS apps).

I don't but would love to see a good tutorial.

The way I approach this is to use the slice tool. 10 years ago I would have cut boxes ajd change the background to the imagine and set width or height to 100%. The important part was picking a repeatable image when scaled 100%

Unfortunately, the operational definition of stress in most research is still quite bad.
Both apps don't urge users to go review their app on the play store. On this assumption, since both serve similar demographic of users - the average number of reviews written per week has to have a strong correlation to number of new users.

But surely 'losing money' to a bad cause would be an even better punishment. Is the punishment supposed to discourage breaking builds? Are the 'warm fuzzy feelings' (or the actual benefits of the relevant charity!) that causing a charitable donation to occur being properly accounted for in deciding whether this is a good idea?
That's incorrect; heritability is not reflective of environmental factors. The classic example is height: height is ~80% heritable, but has been increasing steadily for centuries due to environment.

Heritability only applies to the population studied, so unless you specifically look at poor vs wealthy people you don't see the impact of the environment. If you do that, up to 50% of the variance in IQ can be described by environmental factors[1]. This study[2] says: "Among lower income families, the proportions were in the reverse direction, 39% genetic and 45% shared environment." This one[3] says: " The models suggest that in impoverished families, 60% of the variance in IQ is accounted for by the shared environment, and the contribution of genes is close to zero; in affluent families, the result is almost exactly the reverse."

On top of that IQ and cultural influences are highly correlated[4].

> We should help poor and less intelligent people for moral reasons, but it is unlikely to improve intelligence in the poorer population and, if the aid is structured dysgenically, it will serve only to compound the problem.

Completely false- this study[5] found that for one group of adopted children averaged 19.5 IQ points higher when placed with wealthier families, compared to poorer families.

I've been to one escape room. We could just walk out, but that would be forfeiting your money, and then you'd get to sit in the lobby waiting for your friends, because you couldn't get back in. Not even a restroom visit was allowed. Also, I was with a definitely above-average IQ group, and we did not make it out in time...
Switched parents to the one that wasn't doing drugs and had good work and no mental health issues. The kids I remember from that time probably didn't see an escape route in their own lives. A lot of their parents were shits. Some of them were straight chaotic evil. Some, if you put their minds into their children's bodies, they could fit right in and assume their children's roles. Children raising children is a sure way to harm brain development. Also, beating them. Saw a bit of that. Makes me sad to think where those kids might be now.
That argument applies equally to human drivers competing for control of a vehicle with automated braking systems. Are there not also scenarios where the less-sophisticated collision avoidance radar could do the unsafe thing where the human has a more holistic plan? If not, why not?
"Not saying ticks aren't a health risk. But an inactive lifestyle is also a health risk, and very likely a much bigger one."

You don't have to perform activities that expose yourself to the risk of getting tickborne illness just to be active.

Again, there is no proof, nor even speculation that the Math in Bharat was descended from any other sub culture.

Also, I do not know who said, "math is queen of all sciences".

>No culture can uniquely claim to have “invented”?

No. It can. It should. And It will.
However, if the car saw the pedestrian, even as a false positive (presumably from far enough away to have enough time to brake/avoid it), I think it should’ve alerted the driver. The driver would’ve most likely started paying attention and avoided the crash.
You would be surprised. Even having the wherewithal to put together the content, put up a site and publish is a huge differentiator.

99% of the people you're competing with in any given niche aren't willing to put in even that much effort.
There's specs for current Medtronic DBS systems (machine configured below certain RF power, 1.5 tesla magnet, specific head coils), as long as you stay within them, it's ok. Boston Sci/St Jude ones are "probably" compatible" but has not had FDA approval for MRIs yet.
