I'm not quite following why you left this comment, when the photograph on the article is of a woman in Michigan literally depositing a paper ballot. The machines discussed are for tabulating paper ballots.
You're on the correct track but haven't quite hit the mark.

The condition must be that the cost to a student / family of a student attending for a basic bachelors degree is zero, and that re-taking classes/classes for any unfunded (IE out of state/country) student is up to the actual "production" cost for a funded student.

The balance sheets should be open to the public for audit and inspection.
You get the benefit of the product, otherwise you wouldn't be paying for it. You should pay the rest of the world for the damage that was done to it for your benefit.
Border guards are duty-bound to turn away people that they suspect are likely to commit crime and, in the United States as a whole, weed possession/consumption is still considered a crime worthy of jail time.

Although I think weed should be legal, in the mean time I am not interested in my taxes paying for the confinement or deportation of Canadians. Ergo, one can support weed legalization and also believe that weed consumption can be used from a practical perspective to deny entrance to foreigners.
Lucky you.

Here the school districts were partitioned along different brands of computer. One would have Amiga, one Macintosh, the others a mix of C64/PET.

Mine had, for reasons nobody could ever explain, settled on the Unisys ICON system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisys_ICON

Nobody knew how it worked, and all you could do with them was look up books in the library or run some terrible typing tutor program.

Everyone's personal computer, which was extremely rare to have, would be some random thing. C64 for one person, Sinclair for another. At first I borrowed a neighbour's TI 99/4A. Later a loaner C64 which was better because you could at least copy games for it.
It depends on if you're feeding into an HR/sourcing machine or actually talking with the decision makers.

The former is just following a script and wants your information in a specific format because that's what the automation demands.

The latter is a person who you will either work with or under, they don't care.

The latter is the preferable path in my opinion, and personally use the "send me your resume in a specific format" request as a reason to cease contact because of all it implies.

I thought I had an original and clever solution to TTT... my solution was to define all winning combinations as sets of (x,y) coordinate pairs and each time a player made a move, check to see if any of the winning combinations was a subset of the player's set of coordinate pairs.
Reading it at the moment. It's an eye-opener.

Since when is tipping the housekeeping staff expected. I have never heard of that before. They are employees of the hotel (or third party contractor) to do work in a hotel. They are paid money for that.
I'm a technical consultant so the business isn't the same but I do have to do a ton of sales and I've done multiple six-figure deals and generated multiple six figures in revenue per year, so I am able to sell to some regard.

I'd recommend just reading a ton of books. There's a formula to sales that is well documented, you just have to adapt the pieces that work with your personality. The ones I'd recommend reading are:

* SPIN Selling

* Never Split the Difference

* Getting to Yes

* To Sell is Human

* Read any free information online about SPIN/NEAT/Sandler

I read all of those cover-to-cover right before I started my consulting business and it made a marked impact on my ability to sell. Like anything, it's a combination of study and practice. Read a book, figure out the nuggets that are important, then practice those tactics. Learn, rinse, repeat.
> Whereas, if a Canadian pharmaceutical company now wants to attempt to get a cannabis byproduct licensed for prescription or OTC usage in Canada, they now totally can.

you are absolutely correct, but I was only addressing the note that state legalization is equivalent to looking the other way in the Netherlands, which was the opinion of OP.

I very much look forward to the research that Canadian companies are able to do, specifically with other cannabinoids other than thc.
Really nice list of algorithms here...

Math is definitely foundational for Computer Science and for that reason one of the most interesting algorithms I've personally encountered is the one for computing Principal Component Analysis (PCA)[1] using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)[2].

It's just amazing how you can easily represent N dimensional objects in 2D. It's used a lot in Machine Learning. One of the interesting applications of the algorithm is Face recognition (eigenfaces method).

> Overall, OP said "there is no evidence" and it seems that yes, there is.

This is evidence for a correlation between the number of CT scans and cancer incidence. To jump to the conclusion that the cancer is caused by the radiation from the CT requires a leap of faith.

The funny thing is, if an epidemiological study shows that low dose ionizing radiation is beneficial (radioactive apartment buildings, nuclear navy workers), it's dismissed by a completely ad-hoc "healthy worker effect" or "healthy student effect". But in a study of people who received a CT scan, where you should expect a "sick people effect" (healthy people don't get CT scans), you "don't see a problem".
Thanks for the link. I see an option to download all my data and I'm in US. I guess they are slowly rolling this out.
It is both cost+convenience. As I mentioned in one of my other comments, parking near the day care is a major issue, even for a few minutes - so an old Civic wouldn't have helped. With my own car, I would have to at least spend 15min every day trying to look for parking and I would rather spend that time making our kid comfortable in school.
Thank you for saying what I was thinking. Anyone who has worked in a multi-billion dollar corporation has experienced mismanagement. I think it has to do with organizations that get beyond a certain size.

This NEVER happens from a economic incentive standpoint.

Restaurant owners NEVER say "Oh look, expectation for tipping in the general public is up 5% this year, let's cut down our menu prices to balance this out."

I don't know what logic is behind your statement - could you please elaborate?
While I can agree that my definition of religion is very broad, I have trouble to see where to draw the line. I'd say this is an unsubstantiated claim:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Does that sentence define how the world works? Or does it define how we want to live? Or does it kinda both? The point I'm trying to make here is that religion should be understood as a system of government. And that we would do well to understand even secular governments under the same terms. Not as a guide, but for clarity.

I don't pretend secular governments to be religions. I simply define them as such and then see what fits and what doesn't. It's very illuminating to me. The superstitions are not very interesting in that regard. I think they get too much credit.

Insisting that religions are defined by their superstitions misses a large part of what they are and why they exist.
What we could have funded instead of war or tax cuts (according to Democrats)
Another explanation that is not as technically accurate, but really clicked on me to understand how it's possible to establish private communication in the open, is the following:

You put your secret message in a box, put a lock on it that only you have the key to, and send it to the other party. They, unable to open it, put on a second lock of their own, and send it back. You remove your lock, leaving theirs, and once again send it to the other party. Finally, they remove their lock too and can open the box without anyone else having had that possibility.

What can also be inferred from this, is how DH is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. Someone involved in the delivery could pretend to you to be the other party and to them to be you.
This post makes the assumption that happiness should be a permanent state rather than a transient state like any other emotion.

Shouldn't we seek to just 'be', and react accordingly to what the moment impresses upon us?
If we seek to be happy at all times, wouldn't that be as much of a sickness as being sad all the time?
Wouldn't happiness become something common place and fall into the background like so much white noise?
You described tragedy not life. Life (intelligent) can escape tragedy. That fatalistic attitude towards huge numbers of people dying is degenerate. Its a common attitude but not one that's good for anything but apathy.
The other person's comment was so provocative. Sorry that I lost it. I am working on reducing these type of comments.
You’d be surprised at how Wall Street works sometimes. Not sure about this particular case, but what can happen is that the fund managers talk, and they stop buying (or even start selling) shares of the company. These funds may look small to you, but if they can drive a 5 or 10% drop, things spread like wildfire. Further, it’s likely that one of these fund managers have a strong relationship with another fund manager, and if the proposal is reasonable, then others may jump on the bandwagon.

Finally, consider how the situation changes if someone at BlackRock decides this would be helpful. All of a sudden, the conversation changes immensely due to the large number of shares they control.

Institutional shareholders own almost 3/4 of all shares. Ownership is not the same as control, but it’s a good proxy at this level [0].

I rather trust an engineer in random subjects than anyone else that is not a professional in the field.
I'm saddened that this is part of what you remember when you think about visiting the US. You absolutely should not tip if the potential recipient of the tip treated you poorly.

They were bullying you by threatening to call the police. The cops would have been annoyed to show up for that, and nothing about what you did is illegal.

That wrist position looks deeply un-ergonomic. Hate to think what it'll do long term writing like that.
So? It's a necessity of establishing trust with the customers.
This is one of those occasions when the research team definitely needs to test on more than the local population of subjects.

Because all the authors appear to be Chinese, probably all the test subjects were too. But because the Chinese language requires substantial awareness of subtle changes in prosody (esp. pitch), it's likely that speakers of other languages will not perform as well on their absolute pitch tests.

I suspect native speakers of Chinese have developed a subtle ear (and voice) for pitch during that critical period of language acquisition in childhood that makes them more able to acquire perfect pitch in adulthood than speakers of other languages, especially western ones.
I had to re-read the parent after seeing your comment. Are you saying:

1) It is racist to deny a non-citizen entry

2) Fuzzy rules for entry allow room for racial bias

3) Something else?
I don't disagree with your sentiment, but the flaw with your argument is that you're presuming the proceeds were acquired illegally before a trial is even conducted.

We don't yet know that what they did was illegal. We don't even know if the right people are being prosecuted in the first place. That's the entire point of the trial.

We may not have a perfect system but presumptions that defendants are "obviously guilty" or "don't actually need all that money" defeats the purpose of having a system at all. Like arbitration, there's literally no point-- we're supposed to have progressed beyond kangaroo courts with arbitrary rules weighted in favor of the prosecution.
you guys have fun with that whole "no public services" thing
Here's some direct comparison of default rates - https://assets.rbl.ms/18240752/980x.png (from https://bigthink.com/stephen-johnson/what-kind-of-student-is...) shows a significantly higher rate of student loan defaults in the arts/humanities fields.

It is worth noting that the difference between selective schools and nonselective schools is even larger; so going "somewhere" to get a shitty degree seems to be not a good idea as well.

From my experience, at least in Munich it's hit or miss which of the 2 cable company services your building - it's not even on the street level.

Also I'm not really complaining. Say what you will about Deutsche Telekom, but I've been a happy customer since 1998. Everytime I had a different ISP (mainly M-Net) I had more problems than uptime. This is more expensive, but I'm having less than one noticeable downtime every 2 years...
You have been in the industry for around 40 years and you have no personal network you can call on for referrals? You are obviously leaving out critical parts of your story.

> The Euro isn't a better vehicle than the USD today, but it could easily become one.

Get back to me when Saudi Arabia starts selling oil exclusively in Euros, or better yet, once European union surpasses the US in the number of aircraft carrier strike groups. You don't seem to understand the concept of a "foreign reserve currency" if you think Euro has a chance against USD. There is more chance of physical gold replacing USD as an inter-nation trade/reserve rather than Euro!
I happen to be reading the novel at the moment, so it was easy to find an example. In this fragment, the master recounts the last time that he saw his loved one. The sentences are spread over 3-4 pages:

“This was at dusk, in mid-October. And she left. [...] A quarter of an hour after she left me, there came a knock at my window [...] Yes, and so in mid-January, at night, in the same coat but with the buttons torn off, I was huddled with cold in my little yard.”

Just like that, three months have vanished. Those missing buttons are the only indication of where he spent those lost months: it was customary to remove belts, shoelaces and buttons from those held for questioning by the secret police.
This book is truly terrifying. I've been a "work through it" kind of person all my life, and have sacrificed sleep from a very young age for both personal and professional priorities. I've been labeled by close friends and loved ones as "forgetful" or "absent-minded." Now I'm faced with the reality that maybe I'm actually causing myself real damage, and these aren't facets of my personality, but symptoms of something worse. Thankfully, I'm only 32 and have time to correct course.

One thing I've really changed my thinking on in the past few years is my attitude towards work situations demanding late nights. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette for work, so why was I making excuses for late nights?

I've got an Ouraring, and track my sleep constantly -- but still have trouble getting a consistent 8.5 hours. But I'm getting better.

What habits did you change?
I doubt the headphone jack had much of an impact on the market, but the go-to-market strategy just wasn't there (Sprint isn't a tier 1 carrier), the camera got poor reviews, and their first accessory, the 360 camera, just wasn't compelling enough, even for the enthusiast market.

Yeah 1-2 was me trying not to limit this to the guys who've been around for years. I'm probably at 4-5 and think it's common.

> If you don't love to learn and to apply the things you have learned the tech industry really isn't for you.
Not everyone is in this to learn. I've been on govt contracts where a dev has been there 10-20 years and has only learned 3 languages, (and is writing the same way this year as they did 5 years ago). It is not my cup of tea (hence the past tense).

My point is, not everyone loves to learn. If you want to excel you need to constantly learn but if you get into tech and you hate to learn you'll flounder until you find a gig that will let you coast for years.
Hi guys,

Samiur from Journal here (https://usejournal.com). We started Journal with the goal of reducing information overload, and to see what would be possible if our knowledge  -  about people, projects, and ideas -  was connected and easily accessible.

We think of what we're building as a new kind of journal. You write notes in it, save interesting links, and drop in important documents and messages for later. When you need something, ask Journal, and it helps you find it.

Eventually, we see it becoming a connected home to gather and share knowledge. You use the best services for issues, documents, messaging and more — and Journal ties them all together. We currently support integrations to Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) Slack, Dropbox (Files and Paper), Evernote, Pocket, and Atlassian (Jira and Confluence).

We're coming out of community beta today, and would love to hear your feedback!

If you'd like an early access code, please reply to this comment.
And git handles the edge case the same way. That was my point.

rm master
git checkout -- master
git checkout a1b1
git checkout master -- master

all works as expected

Their area of expertise is making a pretty linux distro for their custom laptop line, that's why.

I agree with you and GP. Every dollar invested into gnome is a waste IMO. Make the hardware, make it easy to build an image from source for it, and then focus on the gnome portion.

If you have consumed in the last 30 days, then your "No" response is definitely not correct.
I know people going into debt for private highschool for their kids.

This seems like an interesting and wide-open market since they are taking on traditional debt instead of getting some kind of education-focused loan product.
Only if they realize those gains.
I don't entirely agree with respect to my original post and that your use of Jobs and Torvalds don't correctly align to my post.

I don't think the majority of people idolize stuff that makes everyone gag or grimace in disgust. A small subset of internet trolls idolize and encourage this behavior. Tech is only associated because it also shares the loner basement dweller stereotype.

There are entire organizations designed to counteract underage pornography and sex trafficking, everyone agrees this is a terrible thing. However, it still persists despite opposition and tech is heavily involved in the process. This gets back to my point that to be in tech requires an unavoidable knowledge of the cruelty of man.

Someone's email habits pales in comparison.
Something seems off about learning general-purpose programming on a single-purpose device. How would you run your programs?

> it also was slower, had a hell of a lot of unnecessary boilerplate, was a pain to navigate, and couldn't actually do much anything impressive because it was working with such a minimal toolset.

Funny, that is the same impression I get from younger coders' work who haven't been around much, only know one narrow stack, and start from the boilerplate that you can get from various CLIs.

Maybe age has nothing to do with it and there is simply a variety in skill level no matter how long you have been doing this?

I know plenty of people living the Wild West Dream without abusing the environment or their families.
My pitch started to drift in middle age too. Like you, I do better or worse based on timbre; piano is great (it's my instrument, which must help), stringed instruments are pretty good in general, wind instruments are not so great, organs are the worst.

Playing for ten years in a Balinese gamelan that was not remotely tuned to a Western scale probably didn't help.

Absolute pitch is still a really useful skill to have, in my opinion, and I don't understand it when people say it's just a parlor trick or actually diminishes your ability to appreciate music; being able to spell doesn't diminish my appreciation of language. It is occasionally slightly distressing to realize in retrospect that I've been off by a half step, like thinking you're walking north and then looking at a map and realizing you've been walking west.
I guess I see the point. But why not just tip? The coffee shop tip is like, a buck. The regulars at the coffee shop were already tipping, like, a buck every time they got coffee.

The countervailing force the iPad is addressing is the fact that customers aren't carrying cash anymore. Without the prompt, counter workers aren't going to get tipped at all.
How would you realistically completely remove the need for the relay server while still allowing the customer to run the server on a typical home internet connection?

It was overpriced. They sold what? 50k phones at about $500 a pop average before cutting the price to $350? That's $25m in revenue after raising $300m. They should have continued working on a line of phones. Instead they switched gears, dropped the price on a phone and started doing a fire sale.
How does the latest Google's hardware compare to the latest Apple's hardware in terms of security? Can Pixel and Pixelbook now be recommended to journalists[1] as reasonable alternatives to iPhone and iPad, or are Apple's products still much better in this regard?
