Trying to read this story was really frustrating on an iPhone. I had to keep swiping left and right because the zoom was locked to about double the width of my screen.

It's a shame because, from the sound of the other comments, it sounds like a really nice layout on the desktop. It's a shame they destroyed the mobile experience.
By my understanding of what scott_w said, your example is exactly what scott_w meant for his camp #2: A problem involving data that is easier to represent if one "relaxes" the constraints. In this case, the relaxation is the removal of tables/rows idiom.
That really sucks, I finally managed to get PyCharm and WebStorm today and was hoping to also get 1yr license extension for both. It looks like it is not possible w/o the license key, which is nowhere to be seen so far...
I have no connection to this in any way. Yet i'm extremely confident that was exactly it.

Won't it be cloudy? I'll admit I'm far from an expert, but culinary school teaches you that you must skim constantly. Otherwise those particles break down and the denatured proteins dissolve back in and you're left with cloudy stock.
He didn't say he doesn't like braises, not liking braises doesn't make you "not a foodie", it's ridiculous to question whether someone "is" or "isn't" a foodie when they say they are, and the rice cooker only admits to a couple simple variants on braise applications. If you're making stews without browning your meat first, which you can't do in a rice cooker, you're doing it wrong.

I say this now with as much politeness as I can muster, when it comes to stews, you simply have no idea what you're talking about. And I say this as somebody who's mixed cultural household comes from two very old, very strong stew making cultures with a combined stew making experience in our cultural memory going back somewhere between 5-8 thousand years.

Simpson's paradox is an example of the ecological fallacy. I think specifically when you have the signs of the group relationship being the opposite of the individual relationship like in http://blog.statwing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ecologic....

Wikipedia has more specific math for this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_fallacy#Simpson.27s_...
Me too, just managed to buy it. Likewise, the license code is not yet here.
I'm not sure if that's true, the vegetables and meat do cost something. If you do plan on making stock regularly, I've recently found that a pressure cooker is a great investment. The result actually tastes better after far less time.

But I would say if you're just cooking something quick and cheap for yourself, there's nothing wrong with bouillon cubes. In a sauce it's better than just salt which is probably going to be the alternative.
3 hours after purchase here, not even an order confirmation email (though I did get the purchase confirmation page and an order number which I've now lost thanks to a browser crash and my inability to find a pen.)

I don't have any reason to doubt it'll come, but I'm kicking myself for not waiting until later when everything would have been running smoothly.
I actually don't think you should ask him to leave yet.

Because what it sounds like is that you haven't communicated very well with him (understandable - you've been busy).

He may not even know that you guys are having issues with his performance. I'd sit down and talk to him first before deciding anything.

That hasn't been my experience. I usually cite printed sources in articles when I write them, and most articles I edit that were written by others seem to also be based primarily on books.

Some statistics would be interesting, though. I would imagine online sources are more common in articles on recent events, and in articles on popular culture. In the area I mainly edit in (pre-20th-century history) it's almost entirely books and journal articles.
I don't skim constantly. If I wanted consomme, I'd use gelatin clarification. I just want stock to braise with or make heavy soup with.
Waiting as well.

True, IFTTT recipes are often too limited, because targeting non developers, they limit a lot inputs and ouputs of APIs.
But all these APIs can do lot more.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that Vikings only ate meat. Just that they appear to have eaten a lot more meat than most other Europeans (I am mostly German and Irish in ancestory). That isn't inconsistent with my point that genes likely influence one's tolerance in this regard.

Even the site you link to talks about lamb and other meat being a regular part of the Viking diet. In Europe, the children's rhyme "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold" refers to the common practice of serving some sort of hot meal at lunch and cold leftovers at dinner. Peas porridge was likely either vegetarian or had very little meat in it. When I had some poetry class in college, it pointed out that "Greasy Jane stirs the pot" suggested a servant in an upper class household preparing a dish containing meat, which was something of a luxury item. The "greasy" imagery indicates it contained meat. Peasants could not afford meat on a routine basis. Further back in history, Romans ate far more eggs than meat.

My ex was a history buff. We talked a fair amount about things like that.

Sorry for the sloppy wording earlier.

A lot of those people are doing things like working on software and doing DevOps, which seems like "running Wikipedia the website to me". People complain that MediaWiki needs a visual editor that's easier for people to use, so Wikimedia hired developers who are working on that. That's pretty directly related to operational expenses, no?

People also want more frequent and better database dumps, scaling to account for more traffic and improve reliability, worldwide mirroring of the database servers to reduce latency across the world, a replacement of the increasingly crufty template language, etc., etc. All reasonable requests, but they require a staff of developers and sysadmins to implement.

Print out a word in a very large font on a piece of paper. Now, hold the blank side up to a light and try to read the word - it will be backwards. This is because you're reading the paper back to front.

Our mind makes it a left to right inversion because we first try to think of it as a rotation. Look in the mirror while holding a hat in your left hand and a shoe in your right (the objects are arbitrary - substitute where necessary). Now, look in the mirror. The hat will be on YOUR left and the shoe will be on YOUR right. There's no left to right swap. The reason that I capitalized "YOUR" is that I don't want you considering whether it's on the left or right of your REFLECTION. That's where the left to right inversion mistake comes from - we think the shoe is on the reflection's left. Normally, when we're facing another person, that person has rotated 180 degrees to face us. That puts her left on our right and vice versus. We mentally assume that's the case with the reflection in the mirror - that the reflection's right hand is on our left. However, the reflection wasn't rotated 180 degrees to face us. It was flipped front to back. The reflection's left hand is on our left, just as you would expect from something that has not been flipped left to right.

Tcl's "minor" or point releases are bigger than most languages'. 8.6 has been in development for about four years. 8.5 was also in development at least that long. Contrast Python, which does a point release every 18 months or so.
That is a shame. Thanks for putting the effort in.
Link to the best stew recipe you can find for a protein that is normally browned that doesn't have, as its first step, browning the protein in a hot pan. Obviously, the first Cooks Illustrated recipe you find will say "the key to a good stew is proper browning of the meat", but then, as someone from a mixed cultural household with a background in stew-making, I'm sure you'd jaundiced about America's Test Kitchen; presumably, you'll scoff at Julia Child too (dry the meat, brown well). When I get home, I'll see what CIA's New Pro Chef says as well and cite it here. I'm guessing: they brown the meat first.

Unfortunately, this is a topic that I do think I know something about.

Yes, this is use case is a strange omission considering the solution presented.
These are particulars to the examples she provided. The unifying idea is that people often choose models or data based on self interest, even at the expense of accuracy. When discussing the cause of an event, it's not enough to say "a bad model is to blame" or "bad data is to blame." At this point, the model or data are instruments serving the self interest of the modeller, and they are incidental in the cause and effect relationship.

Calling out parent's incompetency is fair I guess, although we still don't know why it was necessary to engineer a cable so much only to find out it has basic flaws, hence the assumption it is over-engineered in certain aspects and under-engineered in others.
I don't see that way. They are all value judgements. Earth, air, fire and water all exist and people can consider them primary if they want to. The same is true with rights. It depends upon what you value.
Well ... the spec does say "HAL is a bit like HTML for machines, in that it is generic and designed to drive many different types of application."

Do they send out an email confirmation of payment? I haven't received any emails, but also don't want to accidentally process two orders.
That's far from accurage.

Let's use some vary pessimistic estimates.

183 billion spam messages a day * 1% make it to inbox / 10,000 people world wide making spam / 5$ per person per day = 36,600 messages dollar. Which need to be vary garbled to make it though the inbox so they tend to be instantly ignored by most people.

PS: I have seen more detailed estimates that suggest each read spam message costs .1c to 10c depending on how targeted the campaign is.

OK, take a question like 'which is bigger, one fifth or one third or one half'. Some people just know the bigger number on the bottom of the fraction means that is smaller, for unit fractions. Other people have to visualise the fractions as a pizza and compare the slices. A few people have to take an actual value like 30 and work out the values of each of the fractions. They all solve the problem, but the 'way they know' is different.

Your factual observation is correct, but I don't think the parent is suggesting that the absence of weapons guarantees genocide. I believe the claim is that weapons provide a deterrent to genocide.

To relate to your example: Canada may have merely "gotten lucky" in not yet having had a genocidal leader. If I had to pick among two competing theories:

Theory 1) An armed populace can deter genocide. The observed fact is because Canada hasn't yet had a leader inclined to genocide, or influential enough to accomplish it.

Theory 2) An armed populace cannot deter genocide.

I'd be inclined to believe the first. The policy implications of such a belief would, of course, depend on the general likelihood of leaders prone to genocide. If they are vanishingly rare, then the benefits of deterrence are probably outweighed by the costs of widely distributed arms. The history of twentieth century states leaves this, for me, an open question.

Thanks for the question.

The fact that income moves very tightly with vote for Romney means it's a strong correlation. Since one variable goes up while the other goes down, it's a negative correlation.

You can have any combination of strong/weak and negative/positive correlation.

The image on wikipedia is good for wrapping your head around the distinction between the strength and the direction of the correlation (and the distinction between strength and the actual slope of the line of best fit). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_dependence

A Time-Lapse of Canada and England, As Seen Through a Snow Globe
It's important when discussing this fallacy to be precise in your terminology, because phrases like "more likely" have different meanings depending on context.

>U.S. states with proportionally more immigrants have proportionally more households with income above $100k.[1] Ergo, immigrants are more likely than non-immigrants to have household incomes above $100k.

Whether or not that's a fallacy really depends on how you interpret that statement. If my only information about the world is what is stated above, then finding out that someone is an immigrant should increase my estimation of the likelihood that their household income is above $100k. Being an immigrant is evidence of living in a state where it's more common to have a household income over $100k. Living in a state where it's more common to have a household income over $100k is evidence of having a household income over $100k. When I learn more about the world, my model will change, and I'll stop being wrong about this particular thing.

The fallacy comes when you say that the group correlation implies a correlation at the individual level.
There is a difference between thinking that something is important and thinking that something expresses a deeper physical reality. That earth, wind, fire, and water are primary is a value judgment--that everything else is made of one of these four elements is a (false) factual assertion.

The same thing with natural rights. You might think it's important not to kill people, no matter if they're American or not. That's a value judgment. But to assert they have a "natural right" not to be killed--that's a factual assertion. If you do kill them and do an autopsy, you won't find any "natural right" in there.
Thank you. I tried to figure out which one, but in the end just enabled everything.
This is very good. In any case I want a tutorial if possible. Something with exercises.
