That being said, if you look at the railing it looks to be made out of a 2x4 sized piece of wood. The 5 floor slats looks roughly the same sized. So with that we get 20" wide, which would be a narrow but doable staircase.

It depends on the school. Dual-enrollment often does not count as entering college to the eyes of admissions committees. However, if you enter in a full-time degree program, you may be required to apply as a transfer student.

http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/transfer/index.h...

> You're a transfer student if you enrolled in a regular session (fall, winter or spring) at a college or university after high school. (Taking a class or two during the summer term immediately following high school graduation doesn’t make you a transfer student.)

https://admission.stanford.edu/apply/transfer/credit.html

> Students who have enrolled either full-time or as a degree-seeking student after leaving high school or through an early college entrance program must apply for transfer admission.

Buying just because the market is going up fast is a bad idea for anything so if you didn't already hold bitcoin buying now because the market is going up is foolish. You'd be buying in at the highest price for a year. Doesn't really matter what the underlying driving force is.

Either way the article is pretty worthless and anyone holding BTC would obviously like to encourage others to buy and drive up the price.

> good daily backup

Therein lies the rub. I've consulted/worked at a crapton of companies and organizations over the years. The vast majority had minimal backup solutions or none at all. Reliable backup solutions are expensive and not coincidentally, upper management at these companies just wouldn't pay for it. I can't tell you how many times I was told something along the lines of "Why are we spending money on IT when the IT dept. doesn't make the company money?" Management usually would just hang the IT dept. out to dry anytime something like this happens so there's seldom any real repercussions for the actual decision makers that cause the mess to begin with. Wash, rinse, repeat. And this is the sad and pathetic reason why something as strange and convoluted as ransomware schemes are so successful.

Sometimes, when you get to a certain age, you reach the conclusion that everyone is out to block your path.

If you're a late beginner/early intermediate player and trying to move past the chord shapes and scale patterns rut, I strongly recommend William Leavitt's A Modern Method for Guitar. It's hard - really damned hard - but it's logical, the difficulty curve is fairly linear once you get past the shock of traditional notation, it inculcates good habits from the outset and it provides you with a very broad base of technique that is applicable to all styles of guitar.

I wanted to make a site/personal list of “approved” videos (for kids for example) and the expectation would be a way to detect if the video has been altered since it was “approved” - like mark a dirty bit until it can be reviewed again.

I haven’t actually gone deep enough in metadata or API or anything to see if that data is available (last modified or a hash of some sort)

But the fact it doesn’t show this on the frontend makes me wonder if that’s even a detail I could get.

In that specific case, how do you modify it? What function can you use. You dont know that a & b are numeric, so you can use arithmetic, you dont know that their strings, you actually have put zero constraints on the types of a and b, so there are almost no sufficiently generic functions you could apply to them. You could pass them to the "identity" function to "modify" them, but that's not really changing them. Just about the only thing you can do to match the types is construct a tuple.

A (somewhat faulty analogy) is imagine a method that takes in two variable odds type Object and returns a tuple of Objects. You can call any instance method on the object class, and any static method, but can't reference any class variables. And you can do any casts to or from Object. There is almost nothing left you can do but return a tuple of them. The types constrained your implementation.
The submission mentions "theorems for free," which answers your question. The a and b type variables can be any type. Because the code has to work for anything, there are not too many operations that you can do on the values of types a or b. For example, if x :: a, you can't do x - 1 because that would require the constraint Num a.

Your assumption of $150k for chemotherapy treatment is exaggerated, especially in light of Trump's executive order to try to get price transparency at the level of actual insurance reimbursement.

$25k/year over ten years is $250,000, and compounded at 6% is $319,000.

So yeah, I'd easily be able to self insure for anything.

A theory that isn’t validated in practice isn’t much of a theory. I’ve lived in several countries with price controls (at least on reimbursements, you’re free to get price gouged at some doctor but not many people will follow) and things are fine.

If anything I ended up having issues at the few parts that _arent_ price controlled (eyecare in France is a pain, though I think mostly because supply of optometrists are limited)

The function definition must work unchanged for any choice of types. In order to “change” their values, it would have to know what other values are possible and how to get them.

Frame it as a game: give me a function definition and I will give you a pair of types for which that function is statically ill-defined. You must give me a function that works, without changing how it’s defined, for whatever pair of types I tell you.
I wish everybody would just follow Redis' setup for baseline tests:

https://redis.io/topics/benchmarks

> This is an example of running the benchmark in a MacBook Air 11" using a pipelining of 16 commands:
$ redis-benchmark -n 1000000 -t set,get -P 16 -q
SET: 403063.28 requests per second
GET: 508388.41 requests per second

Testing against a Macbook Air is a reasonable, as most developers will have access to one or a windows machine of similar stats.

For instance, I have a 5 year old Macbook Air, and I run this test to benchmark (baseline) my database:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/amark/gun/...

My / Redis test is not very interesting (not real-world use case), but it at least gives a baseline that removes a lot of variables.

Then every database should implement Jepsen-like tests for everything else. That is what we're trying to do, with creating a Jepsen-like distributed systems correctness (https://github.com/gundb/panic-server) and load testing tool in a language that is easy for any developer to access and use.

Yep, the end user doesn't really care what your FOTM tech stack is.
The idea got killed because it's really hard to measure value added as opposed to just graduates' earnings (students who appear identical on paper self-select into schools and majors and later on careers based on non-measurable stuff). And if you basically just measure graduates' earnings, you're going to punish schools that take a chance on less prepared students, majors that cater to students with weaker backgrounds, etc.

University administrators and professors aren't dumb. They know that good faith efforts to measure value added today will give way next month or next year to laziness and crude numerical targets. The end result will maybe be better numerical scores, but little substantive improvement in how well students are educated or prepared for life.
I mean, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but you "overcome" it by getting treatment if it's bad enough.
> They will? It sounded like people with less efficient vehicles/heating would get smaller tax credits, not larger.

Everyone gets the same tax credit. It's the people who burn more carbon that pay more taxes. But if you use your tax credit to reduce your carbon footprint to below average, or if it already was, then you're receiving more than you're paying. And buying those things save you money in general (nobody gains from losing heat to poor insulation), so you come out ahead twice, at the expense of Richie Rich now paying twice as much to fly around in a private jet without changing his behavior.

> have no children

You're assuming the children (or their parents) don't get the tax credit. There is no reason that would have to be the case. It should be a fixed amount per-person and children are people.

> The argument that I am making is that knowing a person is 'poor' is not sufficient to predict their emissions or amenities, and extrapolating the lifestyle of one poor straw person onto all of them is stupid.

Then the argument you're making has nothing to do with whether a carbon tax is regressive or not. Finding one poor person with a high carbon footprint doesn't tell you anything about the average. And poor people in general do not consume more resources in absolute terms than more affluent people -- that's nearly the definition of being poor.

> Lol. Maybe facts are actually important here.

Indeed. So who burns more carbon per capita in actual fact, people with more money or people with less money? It would be quite surprising to discover it was the latter. But it isn't:

>But as a contractor, there are many times I have to work in orgs that are 4-5 years old

I'm a contractor as well. You know, there's a ton of legacy shite out there that isn't greenfield and you just need to get in there and guddle (Scottish word) about to earn the bucks. Sure I'd love to work all day long with .NET Core (or even .NET 4.7), but I also need to maintain a bunch of crap that dates back to 2006 and written in .NET 2.0. But as a contractor I kinda get on with it. It pays for my hobbies (model railways and building analogue synths, growing chillis and other stuff), so I kinda just suck it up because the rates are pretty ok.

And you know, there's no shame in being a maintenance dev, some of the best devs I've met are looking after ancient crap long after the overpaid, unsupervised "superheros" that dug those holes moved on to their next 1000% glory roles, and we have to mop up afterwards (for a tidy hourly rate).

Isn't every stimulant? I'm reluctant to ban things on the basis of their addictive potential without considering the consequences of the addiction. I'm pretty sure at least half the people I know need coffee in the morning, but I don't think that means we should ban caffeine. I don't see nicotine as objectively better or worse than caffeine so it's unfortunate that one is the target of legislation and one flows like the manna from heaven in most gathers of people.

Additionally, I think there's a 'good' in letting people choose the stim that works best for them. I personally prefer amphetamine, others prefer coffee, some people find comfort in nicotine.
