To clarify, when I increase, I bring it up to market rate, not over market rate. So my losses on missed rent are not recouped.

I also contend that not all markets make this easy. I rent a single family home in a town of 4,000. This is not a super liquid market. There are not a lot of good comps - my house is a block from the town’s best park, and walking distance to the small downtown. On the other side, it is a substantially smaller lot than the average house. There are essentially zero houses that are equivalent, and I have to do a lot of digging (including calling up other folks I know that are landlords) to figure it out.

My tenant is not on the verge of financial collapse. They’re a manager at a local business, they probably spend about 20% of their gross pay on rent. They have demonstrated an ability to absorb the bump without issue.
Concerning passenger pigeons[0], which went 100% extinct in 1910 due to hunting: "in 1866, one flock in southern Ontario was described as being 1.5 km (0.93 mi) wide and 500 km (310 mi) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds."

For the record, I doubt that you were trying to mislead anyone. I clicked through because I thought to myself, "There's no way they can sell 15 GB of storage for 30 cents/month."

It looks like a good service for those with moderate and large data storage needs, but it would be better to be clear about that from the start. I know a lot of people that will test these services with smaller amounts of data before making a commitment.
Yeah, the study included tons of variation in result relevance because a big goal was to develop actual relevance information for understanding NDCG as an evaluation metric.

One of our conclusions was basically that you can’t use relevance measurements as a function of rank position virtually at all unless you can identify when a user is a member of the very tiny subset that actually hunts through results for relevant ones. In some cases this is tipped off by highly specific queries.

But in the general case of highly generic or popular queries for the vast majority of users, they will click the first thing more or less regardless of relevance. It’s more like a reflex at that point than a decision.

In a very real sense, Google ad placement at the top of list-view search results is a tactic to monetize totally unconscious reflexes. I think in the future it will be considered in the class of behavior as marketing cigarettes to teenagers or something. It’s not a conscious value proposition, but exploitation of cognitive flaws.
As opposed to what other kind of lives? Suburban and rural folks will be just as screwed when they don't have a wal-mart or a costco to get supplies from.
Imo, the shark-jumping moment for any search engine is the day when they deprecate the "0 results" page. I mean, when the user searches for "alice bob" and the search engine pretends the user searched only for "alice" to avoid showing an empty page. Google certainly started doing that earlier than one year ago.
Ha, this is a great reflection. In a different domain I had a similar experience - working for about 2 years on an unmanned vehicle design I thought was revolutionary, only for a colleage to review the design and point out that reverting to a traditional propulsion engine increases performance by a factor of 2. I felt like a balloon deflating; alas life goes on.

I suppose the lesson learned is avoid working in a vacuum of a project for long stretches and instead ask for a variety of consult from colleagues early and regularly.
Sounds more like legs than feet...

Yes, it's bijective. For every input value, it provides a unique output that will decrypt back to that input.

You might be misunderstanding the algorithm. We're only encrypting an incrementing number, not ever encrypting something that is already encrypted.
The write-up is so amazing. The animated diagrams are so amazing too. I wonder how many weeks it would have taken to create such a write-up.
Given that your short (i.e. 10 miles) commute costs about $1 in utility rate electricity (at 20c/kWh, .5kWh/mi), to be worthwhile, the solar panels would need to cost far less than the $2 per day that such a commute costs. Accounting for rainy or cloudy days, and the inevitable dirtying of the solar panels, it's unlikely to be worth the expense in economic terms, to say nothing of the aesthetics.

It would make more sense to use the money to put solar panels on your house, if generating your own energy for commuting is a priority.

That's why I maintain that the only value of on-car solar panels for daily commute purposes is for hybrids with small batteries (which are Toyotas strategy) since the alternative to electricity in that case is using petrol, which typically costs 2x per mile compared to electricity.
Hello Readers, I personally recommend sparrohacker (at) gmail for any type of hacking info. for the past few months i suspected my husband was cheating on me and I noticed he would always hide and lock his phone. he would even answer phone calls secretly. when i heard of this spying website, I started reading articles and found all the info. I found out the truth and sadly found out my husband was having an affair . By using the spy app, now I have access to everything including phone calls, logs,sms, surrounding and location. What I loved about the job is that it cannot be traced back to me at anytime.

>I find it very malicious to just drop numbers like this. It gives the impression that you state a simple fact, while the reality is much more complicated than that. The studies on the subject require much more subtlety and statistical understanding when interpreting the results that a 2 line quotation to make a point.

And yet such numbers are dropped all the time. I also do not see callouts for number drops being consistently applied. For example in political subreddits sees number drops without callouts when it supports the lean of the subreddit and number drops with callouts when it does not.

Criticism of science seems to be unequally applied, and given how important equal application of criticism is to science being reliable, it creates a reliability problem.
If you read to the end, there's a mention of the premature collapse of the probabilistic inference about some entity. That clarifies what the author is talking about.

The scenario is something like a situation in which individuals are categorized into two discrete groups, and then inference proceeds as if the fate of each individual has been determined by which group they fell into (rather than determined probabilistically). The fact that a discrete categorization is assumed to 'determine' the outcome (the possibility wave function 'collapses' at the moment of categorization) could certainly be referred to as deterministic. I agree that it's not an application of the word that we are familiar with.
This is the one time I'll allow it :)
Taking a year to explain computer things
Have you seen Stallman's homepage, particularly its glossary section? Look at his definition for "planet roasters" or "thug" or "bankster". He clearly is fine with inflated rhetoric, and yet has the nerve to lecture the article author with this tripe:

> Whatever conduct you want to criticize, you should describe it with a specific term that avoids moral vagueness about the nature of the criticism.

(not that I think the author was even technically wrong to use the word "assaulting" for suspected statutory rape)

Uber might have the highest take home pay, but subtract vehicle depreciation, maintenance costs, insurance riders for rideshare driving, and the net is more in line with other employers of low-skill labor.
> People are misinterpreting the news. It seems like your position is to blame the news, and you seem to think this is a new issue.

Do you deny that it is possible in the English language to write things in a way that are technically and pedantically true, but misleading? I suspect not since you mention Manufacturing Consent, so what is it that you mean?

> I don't think that forcing news agencies or social media companies to change is a real solution. The solution lies in improving people's ability to read news critically across all mediums and to understand the context of media and social conversation and how it subtly serves those in power.

You have two groups: producers of news, and consumers. The former is small, organized, generally well educated, and already subject to regulations. None of this can be said about the latter group. Do you actually think the optimum approach is targeting the latter group? This seems logical to you? (Not to say that we shouldn't also be doing that.....that we aren't is suspicious in itself if you ask me.)

> your characterization of very standard reporting practices as "presenting speculation as fact" and I've clearly explained why above

You aren't even able to acknowledge that talking about something that didn't actually occur is necessarily speculation, it's not surprising we disagree.
CWU's "whegs" are much in this vein: http://biorobots.case.edu/projects/whegs/
From what I've seen of the world, this belief isn't universal across either time or space. It happens to be especially prevalent in North America right now, and found fertile ground on internet forums.

Neither of those is exactly a glowing recommendation in my book, though. If anything, they tend to make me suspicious, since it's hard to imagine any arenas where stability and sustainability are less valued than America and internet forums in 2019.

In specific contexts, even the most libertarian people seem to agree that complete autonomy simply isn't viable, e.g., in a spacecraft, or a military group in battle. When the survival of the group's members depends on everyone working together in a certain way, autonomy is surrendered.

I wonder if even America will come around on this issue in the future. As Buckminster Fuller said, we're all on Spaceship Earth. Its capacity for supporting human life looks more fragile now than any time I've been alive. I don't think Honnold's climb was particularly irresponsible, but there are countless actions that people do every day that are.

50 years ago, you could sit on your own land and burn a million gallons of oil, right up into the atmosphere, and we'd call that independence. Today, you're destroying our spaceship. (You didn't choose to live here, but neither did I.) There are many such issues that we once thought were only about individual freedom which have turned out to be global issues that affect us all. Every year, there seems to be less that I do that doesn't have far-reaching consequences.

The choice between Individual and Group isn't a binary decision -- almost nothing is -- but I've come to realize the sustainability threshold is much closer to the Group side than I ever before appreciated. We're way past Adam Smith.

>The proper terminology is of course “velocity of light”, but most non-physics people conventionally use “speed of light”, which I shall do so from this point forward.

That's not right, velocity is a vector (a magnitude and a direction) and speed is a scalar (just a magnitude). The speed of light, c, is a scalar: in fact, one of the biggest things that Michelson showed is that it is the same in every direction! (If the speed of light was anisotropic then I think c would be a tensor).

I don't think I've ever heard anybody say "the velocity of light." I wonder where that came from.
> Animals don’t have to be slaughtered to enjoy a hamburger if it’s an Impossible burger.

I realize this is a bit extreme of a characterization, but this argument doesn't sit right with me at all.

It sounds like 'I'm only willing to change my habits to reduce animal cruelty and help the environment if an alternative that tastes exactly like meat exists. Otherwise, what can possibly be done?!'

If you are really concerned about those things, whether the Impossible Burger exists or not should not make a difference. There are plenty of delicious vegetable burgers that already exist. They just taste like the ingredients they are made of (beans, mushrooms, etc.) and not a faux replica of meat.
The grandmaster diet: How to lose weight while barely moving
If you think broad skepticism or criticism of a scientific study based on class characteristics is admissible (some statistical investigations are poorly conducted, so this one might be poor too), why not trust based on class characteristics (scientific articles in Nature tend to be really good, so this one might be good too)?

You're right, I don't think either of these options is better than the other.

Also, scanning articles about granuloma annulare, I see light therapy is sometimes helpful. I've done both PUVA and UVB for my condition (GVHD). Both helped, differently, and may give you some relief, or at least get you over the hump. Alas, both are hard to sustain.

As a lifelong patient who has been screwed multiple times by dermatologists, I strongly encourage everyone to

1) Never accept "no" or "I don't know" as an answer. Some one out there has answers for you. Keep searching.

2) Progress marches on and eventually help will arrive. Set up google news alerts for your health conditions (and misc possible treatment technologies). Stay current on the options. Because your doctor's won't be providing that service for you.
Pfaff has pretty good data to back up his claim. He looks at legislation. He looks at mandatory minimums. Everyone plays their part, but prosecutors have a lot of power over sentencing. Plea deals play a role here.

And in many places prosecutors are politicians in a sense, because they are elected. One recommendation is to go back to appointing prosecutors rather than electing them.

So no, singling out prosecutors doesn't miss the point. It is an important point.
I doubt those vendors really want to retrace their steps to go through the multi-year pain and many committee discussions that brought us SPIR-V, again. Look at all those names on the SPIR-V specification. Do you want to waste all those people's time, again, for that many years?

As a sibling comment mentions the constraints given simply don't allow sampling with rejection due to the memory constraints. You get a stream of uniform samples, you're not allowed to store them.

But even if you were allowed to store them the algorithm still has an advantage. It doesn't require random access, only sequential reading and skipping. This was made for tapes, but is also useful for cases where it's simpler or more efficient to stream your data source instead of doing random access.

And of course it also works for m < k < n, where m is your memory size. E.g. when you're performing analysis on a dataset with 10^12 entries, you only want to sample 10^9 of them and don't have the storage (or don't want to pay the IO overhead) for either.
I think philosophy is much more for everyone than physics or mathematics. I can't conceive of a model of the human condition which I would want to adhere to that said philosophy wasn't for everyone.

We _all_ think about value and about the relationship between what we think and what happens in the world and these are the fundamental elements of philosophy. If people feel that philosophy isn't for them, its a failure of the teachers rather than the people.

Its my opinion, anyway, that children don't always know or appreciate what they ought to learn and that adults do them a disservice when they fail to teach them that which is not immediately interesting just because they don't want to learn it.
Sadly yes, because big businesses with insufficient concern for maintaining openness on the internet keep choosing siloed proprietary communication services, just because they're "more polished".

Relationships have ended over a lot less than one person potentially ending the others career by being careless. It isn't a trivial thing where her technique was wrong, she fucking dropped him and he was lucky to only have a simple broken foot.

I definitely agree with you. But i cannot stop thinking about the dwarfs in the lord of the rings that went too far, dug too deep, potentially due to the rhetoric youre having. That was their doom.

Even $10 billion feels too high. I wonder what they were thinking when they filed the S-1. That after reading that document, we'd all be inspired by the vision and clearly see the ~$40 billion valuation, and see opportunity for growth on top of that, such that the public would want to invest as it grew beyond 40? The trust in this company and its leadership is gone, and it will be difficult to correct. Perhaps the quarterly announcements will save them in a year, if it's shown to be a profitable business.

Not the first time Goedel's Incompleteness theorem has been related to consciousness. It's a running theme in Douglas Hofstadter's work, especially in Goedel, Escher, Bach.

I think Hofstadter's answer to this question would be: To what extent is AI engaging in and using self-reference? That's the degree of consciousness it has.

Is this a shadow trade war in response to America’s dominance in tech? I keep seeing absolutely massive fines of American tech companies in Europe, fines marked up to account for Google’s global revenues. Do they make their homegrown companies pay such outrageous fines? $1B is a staggering amount of money, probably all of Google’s profits from France for years to come.

To be clear I think France has every right to do this and Google can decide to close up shop there if they want, nobody is forcing Google to operate in an unfriendly environment.

Thank you for the reply. I did think about the significance of the length of the string, but I was too lazy to benchmark that. Perhaps another time. Theoretically, for the reasons you mentioned, memccpy should perform better on larger strings, but I am not sure if that really is the case in practice (slow implementation of memccpy, lack of compiler optimizations, etc.), and it seems like that "stick to memccpy" is not an universal rule (obviously). :D

A profit model based on the defaults is certainly pretty reasonable, and eforcing that on manufacturers is perhaps logical, but if a company is afraid of letting the user change the defaults to use different combinations of products that they prefer then you are basically the reason for antitrust legislation. (Either the products require this coercion, few people would switch or you are using a product in one area to prevent new competition in another.)
