Well, as the wikipedia article states, it is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and yet seems intuitively correct to me. I've certainly recognised the phenomenon in my own behaviour.

Instead of as a hard fact to be evidenced and justified, I think a better way of thinking about it might be as a kind of parable - a reminder to keep an open mind and not just blindly accept everything you see in the newspaper, or anywhere else.

Sorry to bother you, but this is frustrating. I think I may be a little on the spectrum, so please take my statement literally. The comment by the parent was undeniably true. It really is an authoritarian dictatorship (Source: obvious common sense and also my extended family is all Chinese).

Tangent, but the general advice in the past re: Lithium batteries was never to charge them without surveillance due to fire risk.

EDIT: oops, missed the Alzheimer’s reference. Nonetheless, the title appears wrong, unless her husband had both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

I suspect that’s just a mistake in the headline. The article doesn’t say anything about Alzheimer’s.

It does mention that she can smell cancer and tuberculosis, however.
This doesn't sound like it has a lot of utility, I'm sorry to say. Weird thought to build something on the premise of "people don't have enough self control to not check their email more than once a day, so we will make sure they check it EXACTLY once a day!"
Data Science used to be a purely academic discipline, of interest only to other data scientists, until it proved useful to business.

I'll admit that, say, theology or philosophy are probably only ever going to provide a career path in academia. But even then, you never know.

And are you really going to say to someone who has a burning ambition to study philosophy "no sorry, we're full, go study something else"?
>What has changed in battery technology recently?

I have no idea. I imagine most of the improvements in battery life stem from them being able to fit larger batteries in smaller packages along with hardware and software optimizations as well as improvements in cell reception. It could also be my usage. I listen to a lot of music during the day and perhaps the larger batteries are just able to accommodate me longer than the smaller ones.

I loved my Nexus 6 but I doubt I could still be using it still today so I am impressed. Can I ask what your reasons are for not having upgraded it? I generally upgrade my phones bc of the battery but this time I hope to just get it swapped out in a year or two.
Another is to just stop, stand still, and wait for the other person to solve the situation. I've realized how terrible I am at dealing with those situations so that's what I've started to do.

It's very common, and it often starts after an illness or health scare. In some people it gets worse and worse, they start going to the ER all the time because they feel something is wrong etc. It can be debilitating. If you feel like it's having a negative impact on your life, don't hesitate to seek help. It's always easier to nip it in the bud sooner rather than later.
You mean the one they copied from Symbian Series 3?
You are right: the authors observe that when the size of the playing field is fixed and the only variable is the sequence of tetrominoes (which may vary arbitrarily in length), Tetris can be solved in polynomial time with a dynamic programming approach.

The authors' contribution is that the problem of choosing the optimal strategy is NP-complete when the playing field is itself variable, and provided as an input to the algorithm (as a matrix of 1s and 0s indicating whether or not the cell is filled, or equivalently, as the number of cells in the grid provided in unary base.)

Eh, if it went into production as they had envisioned, it would have been built only to F-104 kind of numbers. By compromising a little on the air to air aspect, they gained enormously in the air to ground aspect and overall utility. Most of the sorties have been air to ground for a good awhile now.

Busting Vaccine Myths
INS is much more than a backup. In the days before GPS it was the primary source of navigation crossing large bodies of water. Of course this meant aircraft coasted in a few miles off of there actual course. It can generally be updated using DME-DME fixes and from VOR fixes, all of which it does automatically. I believe some short haul operators are now specing there aircraft without INS but as far as I know that's an exception rather than the rule.
But what if they’re all small and all the same size? In a Grid pattern, like streets between city blocks?
Other than these reasons (which should be considered basic, but I am aware they are not), I don't think I'll ever need money more than that.

To me, money is what you use to buy food, shelter, transportation, pay bills. If you can afford more than that, you are golden (in my book).

If you have that, and you still have savings, what's the difference between you and a billionaire ? All the rich people I know (I don't know many) are deeply unhappy. So, I know for a fact it doesn't buy happiness directly.

I live frugally, well below my means (except that I take vacations sometimes), and have a huge safety net; also, I never discuss my finances and I don't like to form opinions about someone based solely on (or heavily influenced by) their money. I cannot see the joy of having things as a status symbol, it just doesn't make sense to me.

People that buy things primarily to show to others that they can afford them, just screams self-worth issues to me. I guess it depends on the way you value yourself.

I think 'safety' is the key term here. In the future we will see more self-driving cars and other self-... machines. I would like them to provably not crash (into me).

If it were up to me, no matter the energy consumption, a piece of software in that realm should be proven correct (both crash-free and doing what the specification says).

If you have the basic needs covered (shelter, food, medical care, bills), money will not buy happiness for you I think. Everything else is extra.

I agree that if you worry about the rent/food every month, and suddenly you get a lot of money - definitely, that would result in increase of happiness.
I wirelessly deploy from Xcode regularly. It’s slower than cable-based deploys, but not much, and the convenience is worth it for me.

(Apple’s wireless deploys replace the cable, but I assume they do not happen over the cloud — both devices are on the same local network. I haven’t checked the network traffic, but I’d be surprised if the broader internet is involved.)

TGM4 didn't fail due to TTC licensing issues. They had a hard time getting arcade vendors to co-operate and distribute cabinets. TGM1 and 2 (plus TAP+) were made before TTC started to enforce their rotation guidelines for games and that's why TGM3 and TGM Ace had the "World" and "classic" modes. Former being the TTC required rotation system and Classic being the (superior imo) Arika rotation system.

TGM4 is essentially finished and just in hold until Arika figures out how they're going to distribute it. I think you're right though that T99 is kinda Arika testing the waters with a console version and I think they might release it on Switch at least.

Need Forensic Cyber SuperMan/Woman to Find Evidence of LT Hacking (iPhone/Mac+)
Guidelines say keep it short, so here it is. Traumatized ex wife of wealthy, terrifyingly bullying sociopath needs the technical expertise of Cyber Magician (not asking you to create what's not there, but to find what is!) Involves my iPhones (several generations), iPad and several laptops and/or my Apple account and/or my security network. I need someone with the forensic technical knowledge and/or equipment to determine how he's gained access to my private messages (and conversations) and help me provide the evidence that will stop him.

This IS happening. I just need evidence to make it stop. I'm not sure the appropriate means to have someone contact me, if anyone could advise.
That seems more extreme than just becoming less than friends. Why tarnish a good rolodex? A contact list isn't a friend list.

Anecdote time!

Back in 2007, I was writing my diploma thesis (think master's just twice as long, German system prior to bachelor/master) at Auger. The collaboration has a rule that for the first year in, you don't go into the author list, but stay on it for a year after you leave. That optimizes for having the actual contributors on papers. Towards the end of my not-on-the-papers year, the collaboration published a really big paper on correlations between the arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic rays, and certain objects, active galactic nuclei (giant black holes at the center of other galaxies). This didn't just get published in Science, it made it to the cover. It was a step towards working out where these mysterious particles are coming from, and what mechanism might possibly exist to accelerate them to such energies! I was kind of bummed not to have my name on that paper (though even at the time thought the one year rule made sense).

The publication had been hotly debated internally. It had received all conceivable internal scrutiny (the author list contained over four hundred names). There had been a stark debate about what the right statistical significance was for claiming a discovery. Astronomers were used to less rigorous requirements than the particle physicists that together made up the collaboration. Ultimately, it was decided to claim a correlation. (A nil result would have been published as well.)

Almost from the day of publication, the statistical significance of the result, but in data continuously collected since, started to diminish. I was involved in running the nightly data reconstruction, and often times we would huddle around one of the workstations on the morning, to check whether a new high energy event increased or decreased the significance. It kept going the "wrong" way.

The collaboration went into a frenzy to double check everything. They redid the calculations, checked all hardware (a field of water tanks and electronics 3000km^2). Had lots of internal conferences with heated debates.

Ultimately a note was published describing the staggering decline of significance. If I remember correctly, my name was on the author list by then and I got to joke that I knew it all along.

I'm no longer in the field. Since then, the collaboration has published a di-polar asymmetry of the arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic rays. That proves something we already pretty much knew: these are not particles from our galaxy. That was a meaningful discovery. But I'm not aware of a publication with as exuberant a discovery as the source correlation.
Those things make sense to me, but change is usually difficult to accomplish.

Still, there already is quite a bit of differentiation between states. E.g. Oregon state taxes income at up to 9.9%, but has no sales tax. Adjacent Washington state has no income tax, but has a sales tax of between 6.5% and 10.4%.

It just depends on the nature of the message. If one side is just amassing a list of things or a complete idea to digest on the recepient's own time, with the mutual understanding that people lead busy lives, it's a bit different than say, someone repeatedly ignoring a particular request or general attempts to start a live conversation.
The GPS broadcast navigation message includes the offset between GPS system time and UTC, which is specified to be an integer number of seconds plus or minus a microsecond. The integers are the running total number of leap seconds since 1980. GPS system time doesn't perform leap seconds, but the clock offsets are calculated so that the system tracks UTC. So I am not certain what you mean.

It sure appears that the 707 flew like a truck. Not simply a truck, but a truck with too small a rudder. Davies certainly didn't like the low V speeds / difficult controllability in the original version.

You know there's a problem when the manufacturer doesn't like being aboard for an engine out test around Vmcg.

Goddam those pilots goofing off, rolling the 707. And then, the others doing excessive Dutch roll without yaw dampers on...
Interesting. Many years ago I was on a bus. Suddenly I smelled a very strong distinctive unusual smell. Next thing the guy in front of me was on the floor having a full grand-mal. From this experience, I had assumed that seizure odour was a known thing. Apparently my assumption was wrong.

This is exciting for two reasons. First, we could develop a measurable diagnosis based on this. Second, we can now search for the source of these chemicals and use them to better understand this illness, and that might lead to a cure.

Historically, virtually every move up the abstraction level sacrificed performance to gain programming efficiency. Assembly to C, C to C++, C++ to Java, Java to Python/Javascript. And now there are wars over Javascript vs. Typescript, and jQuery vs. React/Angular. Every new step up the stack claims that the higher level of abstraction can either be implemented with only a minimal penalty, or could actually improve performance due to easier automated optimization. However, every time, it seems that in practical applications, performance is sacrificed to make software development faster.

I don't know enough about the performance of Javascript vs. Typescript to form a strong opinion about it, but if history is any guide, it's likely that it improves software development efficiency at the expense of performance.
No it doesn't. It lets you do so, but it also lets you build up the habit of getting distracted and spending 4 hours.

If you haven't done that in the past 2 years, consider the fact that you either:

- Found a solution to this problem that you've learned to exercise so effortlessly that you forgot it was a hard problem, in which case you should please share it.

Hahaha, wonderful title. Medium "could" work as a platform if bloggers were given actual freedom for modifying their content presentation and profile pages.

As it stands right now, Medium wants to be the big boss and dictate the rules. Not only that, Medium actively blocks people out of reading content using very shady tactics.

But her sensitivity to smell means she is unable to enter the cleaning products aisle in supermarkets. To most people, the plastic packaging has no odour; to Joy, it is so intense she starts to retch.
