I'm not sure what you mean.

In the U.S., most people have health insurance that pays for day to day healthcare costs too. Or at least some of them, when they don't refuse to.

"healthcare" just means, well, health services. "health insurance" means a program that collects premiums, and then pays out for certain healthcare costs.

Maybe in many countries the health insurance market doesn't generally include policies that pay for regular healthcare costs? If there is even a health insurance market at all? Because the government pays for regular (or all?) health care costs, I guess?

The U.S. may be the only developed country without nationalized healthcare. In the U.S., health insurance pays for that stuff. At least in theory, if you're lucky enough to have it, and they don't try to weasel out of paying for it, which they do.

But it's not about whether the definition of "health insurance" is that or not. It's "health insurance" if you pay a premium to an insurer, and they do underwriting to decide what that premium should be, and then they pay out for qualifying costs under the policy. If qualifying costs include day-to-day healthcare or not, it depends on the policy, but it's health insurance either way, because that's what 'insurance' means.

But I agree with you that a health insurance policy paying for regular expected healthcare costs is weird and different than most insurance markets in a way that makes underwriting weird. It's still the insurance market we've got for health insurance in the US.
They seem unfair to me :). I learned most afterwards when I was sitting in room alone and really learning. I was present at lectures wrote notes and all that, but found it hard/uncomfortable to absorb it immediately or form an opinion. I prefer to have time to think about material before being questioned on it.

My grades were good, so I do not think it is the issue of me being incapable of college level of learning.

I also usually managed to get enough participation points or answers or whatever was necessary for the grade, but rarely felt that the whole thing added something to my learning. It felt more like waste of time, especially those parts when people asked or had comments only to show they are participating.

The truth is, the "West" is not that much better in a moral sense, it's just that it controlls the global narrative thanks to, in a big part, Hollywood.
This is crazy. Better move to a nation that doesn't do this...oh wait.

Really? I didn't stop using iTunes for music just because I stopped using iPhone.
So I'm thinking 5 Kinect-IIs, a common wooden table, some hardware, and you could have a team room/meeting room in virtual 3-D with folks from all over the world?

Once you made something like this, then you'd start writing apps for it -- I would imagine you'd start off with virtual "pictures" for the walls that could have a web browser, spreadsheet, etc. built in. Then you could work up to truly interactive 3-D tools, but I'm not sure users could easily grasp moving to holographic toolsets right off the bat. It's an interesting marketing question.
That's true. The reason we showed the Energy Usage graph is because that's our most common perf-related question ("How does this affect battery life?").

It's certainly worth displaying the time spent in the replacement method call using the Time Profiler.
Except for the fact that Kinect2 4 Windows only supports Windows 8...I don't know of any good hackers or developers who use Windows 8 yet.

I still remember the shock I had upon taking my first few graduate-level classes. The lectures and assignments were actually focused on the material rather than weeding people out through large, poorly specified projects / problem sets.

Fantastic! You planning to add Bitbucket support? That would be really nice. :)
Not strictly as many features as you can - there are many ways that you can add huge numbers of highly correlated and redundant features that limit the effectiveness of both the classifier as well as selection or regularization methods.

A simple example of this is in natural language processing. Adding dependency or phrase structure parse features to an n-gram bag-of-words model might result in an order of magnitude increase in the number of dimensions in your feature space, and ends up harming classification accuracy, even with tightly controlled and elegant feature selection methods.
In one foreign country that I know of (Mongolia), can pick from a list of available phone numbers when you sign up for service. They also hold them as commodities which can be bought or sold, as some of the older numbers had a numbering scheme which made them seem more prestigious. Each network has different numbering schemes, so you can tell what network someone is using by their number. Unfortunately, networks also charge more (or at least used to) for texts/calls between networks than within the network.
It's trashy to use someone's name as a generic insult anywhere.
That's a really loose/convenient definition.

I started out with ASP2 BTW so I managed to skip cgi.

I wouldn't argue that Scala is going to be The Next Big Thing. I think the industry is large enough that there isn't going to be one. At least not for web development. Everyone prioritizes something different.

I find Scala a really consistent language though. Which fits my own personal definition of "simple" well enough. Much more so than say, Ruby. Where even "truthiness" is somehow a vague concept.

The underscore in Scala for example is, when you grok it, actually a really simple concept. So is map/flatMap/filter. So for-comprehensions. And Extractors/Pattern-Matching. It's all a bunch of orthogonal, simple features that together are greater than the sum of their parts.

IMO.

Depending on if you've run into the issues Paul Phillips highlights in scala.collections you might find some fault there. I haven't personally beyond the fact that for me, CBF might as well imply a sealed class and custom collections are something I tend to avoid (that wasn't true of c#).

That's a tangent though I suppose. Just the same, the argument was features as a prerequisite for timing. And while there's some obvious truth in that, considering previous examples, just about any modern language would meet that challenge.

Game asked me to spell "devastation".

At the "T", I said "T" and it first heard it as "K", and next heard it as "P" (I had a retry bought).

To be fair, though, I was in a somewhat noisy room. Still, though, losing for something that's not my fault is a pretty frustrating experience.
How can the engineering team be clueless on how to fix this? Now I admit that I don't know the inner workings of the iMessage protocol and servers, but presumably all that needs to be done is to disassociate the number with the Apple ID. If I were to guess this would involve dropping a row in a table somewhere.
Estonian Electoral Committee comments on alleged vulnerabilities of e-voting
I am incredibly annoyed with Apple about this same issue. I also switched to a Nexus 5.

I called the number you listed, and they confirmed that iMessage is already turned off for that number (which I did on my iPhone after switching to a Nexus 5 as well).

Most of my friends' iPhones will still send iMessages to me, and most of the time their phones don't even say delivery of the messages failed.

The tech support guy at 1-800-MY-APPLE told me that I should ask all of my friends to remove their existing text message threads with me from the messaging app. As the only proposed solution to my problem, this is already annoying enough. To make matters even worse, I just had one of my friends do exactly what they suggested, and his phone is STILL trying to send me iMessages.

It's unbelievable that Apple shows this little regard for their former customers. (Not to mention the fact that as an owner of several Apple products, I'm actually a current customer.)
There are a couple of vendors of battery-powered buses. One is a Kleiner Perkins backed startup (http://proterra.com/) that sells buses and overhead fast-charging stations.

BTW the Model S is of a similar weight to other large sedans -- BMW 7-series cars weigh between 4,310 and 5,100 pounds.
AFAIK this is already possibile

Edit: someone on this thread has confirmed
It is really an issue because the above workaround doesn't always work. You can apply that to every single suggested fix in this entire thread: it might work for one, but it doesn't work for all. The Apple discussion forums are littered with evidence of this, and my own personal experience of swapping back and forth a few times convinces me that people aren't just making it up.
Those are sort of fuzzy concepts for me. At the level of the processor, what does "in one go" really mean? And what does it mean to read it if it's already in memory? Since there are only 512 standard TLB entries, there's no way that all of them can be 'hot' at a time with 4K pages.

For a 1 GB file, I get wall times of:

Original: .22 sec
MAP_POPULATE: .17 sec
Hugepages: .11 sec
Hugepages with prefetch: .07 sec

While I generally agree with the idea that mmap() is no faster than read()/fread(), I'm dubious that one could achieve equally good performance without using huge pages. What I don't understand is what MAP_POPULATE is doing that gets the speedup that it does. I've confirmed that it is not changing the number of TLB page walks. It stays at the expected ~250,000 per GB whether it's used or not.

Well shit. Sounds like Apple has an issue clearing cache.

In the hopes of actually solving your issue, I hate to suggest this, but try reconnecting your number to imessage (and make sure you get any new imessage texts), then properly turn off imessage from that device. The defacto unplug it plug it back in.
This is an interesting approach at connecting companies with relevant audiences for each other and I'll probably be reaching out to the Perfect Audience team to learn more as this seems to be where a lot of things are pointing in the digital media world.

That said, I have several thoughts/concerns that I'd love you guys to address:

1. If we have existing partners we work with, why wouldn't we just have them place our pixel on their site/in their container tag? Then we could use this with whatever network we wanted instead of being locked in with Perfect Audience. The Bid Guard piece could be interesting in some cases, but depending on other targeting options being used, may be unnecessary.

2. Do companies need to make their audience profile publicly visible? The information that would be listed (site traffic, types of visitors, etc.) is VERY valuable info to some companies that are not traditional publishers and don't want to publicize that data.

3. Echoing jamiequint's suggestion for the option to simply buy access. In some cases, it may not make sense for a company to offer up their user data as currency depending on how they approach privacy, but buying access to other's may still be fine.

4. Also echoing the thought on enriched tagging. Being able to bid up on someone who purchased compared to someone who just visited is VERY valuable.

5. Have companies needed to change their privacy policies as a result of using this? Seems like you would need to make it clear that you are selling your user's data if you participate, even if the exchange isn't a direct monetary one.

6. Does this work in conjunction with cookie syncing providers like LiveRamp, etc. to tie everything together in one's DMP? It would seem you could only account for overlap from visitors you've tracked with the Perfect Audience tag, but there may be existing audience data in a DMP that an advertiser would like to dedupe against.

7. Do you provide any reporting insight into cross-site behavior? Seems like if both partners opted-in to it, that could provide some really unique data for both parties. For example, is the cross-pollination providing mutually beneficial results? If so, it may make sense for the advertisers to engage in additional co-marketing opportunities.
This is cable industry trade data not really something intended for the general public. Dollar amounts aren't going to provide the context required to understand this data. For example over the last 5 years most cable MSOs have gone mostly/all digital which has reclaimed hundreds of megahertz's of spectrum. As a result spending on plant/infrastructure upgrades has slowed. The costs of the digital migrations wouldn't be classified as broadband investments even though it's directly related. Also in this time span most cable providers completed their transition to DOCSIS 3. Big upfront cost but less expensive to scale out over time. Soon they will have another big upfront cost for the DOCSIS 3.1 transition.
EVERY time someone calls with this issue, it is fixed with the click of a button that deauthorizes their iMessage token.

This is false. I just called 1-800-MY-APPLE (details in my reply to GP) and they said I had already deactivated iMessage for the number and that I needed to tell all of my friends to delete their existing threads with me. And then even that did not fix the problem.
They definitely have problems, I didn't say otherwise. See my other comment, Iran has the death penalty for female rape victims. So labeling the Saudi culture as "truly inferior" doesn't make sense to be honest. They have education facilities and higher colleges for women, including engineering and science majors. Look up the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology for instance (though it's coed). Hopefully, with education things will improve for everyone -- including women. There are already signs of this.
Yep - he's the guy that got me into .NET mvc and alt.net... which turned out to be a gateway drug to Ruby on Rails then Scala. (Genuinely) Thanks Scott!
They do not have the ability to fix this. My wife's data plan is capped at 500MB and when it runs out iMessage does not work. She turned off iMessageing and days later when she still reported that she wasn't getting texts. The Apple tech said that she should tell people not to reply to a thread and to start a new one. She uses her phone for her business and she can't preemptively blast text over 150 contacts not to reply to an active thread, but to start a new one. Her iPhone contacts don't even understand the issue. Now she has to upgrade to an unlimited plan or risk missing messages. Apple has broken text messaging for anyone who uses an iPhone.
Well, I originally asked this question because awhile back the Scratch WeDo site said they didn't have support for 2.0 yet, but I just looked here [1] and found this:

> and why would the president "illegally" remove himself from the country?

That is the question you would have to ask him. AFAIK, not a single official from his government or staff or party has been arrested or hurt since the president fled. As I said, he could return to the country, but he chose not to.
Just curious. Instead of having to build a hydrogen infrastructure couldn't we use electricity to run the fuel cells in reverse to turn water into h20?

I went through this a few months ago and discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7166955

Here's my update: It's been about 4 months or so since I switched.

Nothing I was able to do or Apple was able to do fixed the problem. I was able to put Messages into debug mode and I sent Apple a full debug log (Apple bug report #15966535). They marked the ticket as "Duplicate" and I was no longer able to view any updates.

After about 3 months, most of the issue has resolved.

The majority of group-texts work now; iPhones now send the whole thread is MMS not iMessage. It's still not 100% but pretty good.

Most of my friends can send SMS without failures, but quite a few still get "iMessage failed" and have to "resend as SMS".

I've completely given up trying to fix the problem. Just hoping the remaining iOS devices resolve themselves at some point, or Apple fixes in next update.

<rant>Everyone thinks this is an Android problem that they can't message me anymore. Really tough to explain to the world that it's _their_ phone that's buggy.</rant>
I've built some client / server syncing code for a while, and never wondered to check for papers on that subject ( since i did it in a wqy specific to my model each time). What those guys are doing seem quite generic. Are there any famous algorithms for multi end-point data syncing ?

I suppose it's related to the ditributed database research field...
> - The French smoke like chimneys

In Italy, this is actually changing fairly quickly. 10+ years ago, they banned smoking indoors, and I figure that, like a lot of rules here, people would sort of pay attention for a few weeks and then gradually ignore it, but the reality is that it's actually been fairly strictly enforced/followed, and people are happy with the results. Smoking is still more common than in the US, but diminishing.
Tell that to that Sterling guy who owns the Clippers.

Actually I agree with your statement.
Specifically that the users don't always "know what's best."I could well be "(1) the difference between anecdotes and solid data; and (2) wanting to have decisions and rationales documented." The problem is that this is biased against genuine insights by the user population.

Of course, but you assume starting a company as immediate comprehensive self-employment. If you start a company out of your spare time, then you really do need almost nothing for the company.

I only see two of WalterBright's comments but they don't seem passive-aggressive at all. DougWebb is right only to the extent that he ignores WalterBright's actual meaning, so lashing out is not appropriate. But even if it was appropriate, it's still rudeness. You can be right and rude.
Unfortunately it doesn't work at all now, but I'll definitely keep trying :)
I ran into this too and ended up calling Apple. Their solution was to tell everyone who had my number to erase their iMessage history with me.

Somewhat odd - I can receive individual texts from two people that have iPhones but if one of them sends a group text to both of us, I do not receive it.
The textbook author already put in quite a lot of time to prune a subject down to what is most worth your time.
Pair programming is a tool just like everything else. It should be used when it's effective and not used when it's not. It can be effective at times. I completely agree that 8 hours a day, 5 days a week pair programming is highly ineffective.
I think anyone tech savvy enough to be using Pages should also be savvy enough to understand[0] why the A records can't (realistically) be as fast as the CNAME alternative, and understand if you make it de facto redundant (i.e. available, but not actively encouraged or supported).

I think it's fantastic that you provide apex support for everyone even though it must be exponentially harder to do that just providing CNAMEs, but if you're upfront about the limitations the only people who are going to complain are the type of people you don't want to be listening to anyway.

[0] I mean that in the sense that they'll comprehend the explanation, not that they'll grok it inherently.
Do you ever think about building a framework for injecting an anarchistic customary law into our statist society using cryptography and the Internet? Something like the bitcoin of law? I'm talking about something that could be applied to the real world today, not to a group of crypto-anarchy enthusiasts. I'm also not talking about smart contracts, as these need a legal structure to work and cannot build it themselves.

I'm seeking people interested in this subject to exchange ideas.

I think one could make an analogy with cars. A large fraction of efficency gains have been "lost" to accessories like power windows, additional electronics in the car, etc. A lot of fuel efficency gains could be realized by selling cars with fewer options. But car makers are unlikely to want to sell those (they make more money off the options) and consumers as a whole haven't seemed to demand them.

Also, it appears this post is ~4 years old, but I think the point is still relevant. (Last year, I switched from GNOME to xfce and was quite happy with the reduction in the amount of cpu cycles going towards silly window minimization animations and the like).

They had 328 votes and needed 337. However it is a bit of a grey area as the constitution doesn't really cover the President abandoning his Country.

This all began in October I believe. Is 4 months sudden? All of the violence was provoked from the government (him). The opposition definitely took advantage of it and are not entirely innocent in all of this. Corruption has always been a problem in Ukraine will be for the foreseeable future.
