If a draft costs around $13, drafting once a week for a year is more expensive than almost any constructed deck. For $700 you could have two competitive decks, or do quite a lot of maintenance on one. Drafting only feels cheaper because it's spread out.

Looking purely at costs, the obviously correct thing to do is proxy your cards. Proxies are free.

I think North America is corrupt beyond any help. Look at the deep state they do horrible things and no one cares. And there is no freedom of expression, even as i write this im afraid. The cia infects people with sifilis has torture concentration camps all over the world where they imprision people without a trial and inflict upon them all kinds of sick and perverted tortures. They traffic drugs and control criminal organizations in sveral countries, they are the top dogs in the underworld. They persecute journalists they hire some to decieve the public. They are really toxic and deceithfull. Not to mention the wars they go in foreign countries and kill thousands if not millions and destroy any trace of civilization. They a destructive force. =(
She doesn't seem to have taken it down. Facebook doesn't generally take down random peoples accounts.

Just a thought, and one I am not 100% behind, is that if these machines give more and more power to employers perhaps this will allow more employees to become employers? Employers of machines...

I'd imagine this technology having the potential to enable many people to perhaps start businesses much more easily or cheaply. Is it possible to imagine every single human being a self employed business? Could the economy work that way?

But, at the same time, thinking that "a joke" is safe when observed, is also not necessarily true.

Good judgement needs to be taken into account. I recall having to "reapply" for my temporary job in the computing center every semester (because, of course, it was "temporary") - and one of my fellow students, after having done this for a couple years, and having a bit of ego, basically just scrawled on his application form, "Hire me again or I will murder all of you." You see, if you knew him, it was actually really, really funny. We were all a close group, and everyone on the team thought it was hilarious. The HR organization that unbeknownst to this student, screened all applications, and had no idea who he was, took a decidedly different perspective on his application.

The proper response was to alert security, and thankfully his hiring managers - who then de-escalated the situation.

The problem with the airline situation - their is no easy "oracle" who can confirm that this person is most decidedly not a threat.

What would your response be to the person who "joked" that they were pissed off with United Airlines, and would like to remind them that his house was on the approach path to SFO, and the next time United lost his luggage, he would be more than happy to repay them by taking a few potshots at their 747s with his trusty .22?

Sometimes the way we keep airplanes full of passengers from falling out of the sky, is by looking for, and engaging, potential bad actors. The way to determine if someone is a bad actor, is by looking for signals of such intent. And, I think all things equal, this guy probably was throwing off signals that he was a bad actor, even if it's obvious to anyone who knows him, that he's just being a jackass.

No because technology and it's global reach also turn the industries into a "there can only be one" game.

This is the dark side of making products cheaper for consumers. It will always require consolidation to keep having a margin while the products more and more accessible.

There are a couple of friction points with regards to technology and that is dependence on local workforce and industries where people are always looking for a better solution and in areas without any benefits for automation.

>In fact over the past 20 years I've heard this story at least a dozen times-- where crime "labs" at different levels of government and in different states (eg: state labs, federal lagbs, etc) were caught doing this.

Yes, the problem is that those "crime labs" are not scientists, they are basically scientists-turned-cops.

As you propose, those should be independent labs, perhaps private, that live and die by their reputation for results (and could be hit with a huge lawsuit if they're not careful, unlike a government agency).

And double-bind should be mandatory too.

In Australia, a popular introductory kit was "Fun Way Into Electronics" (http://goughlui.com/2014/11/09/tech-flashback-dick-smiths-fu...) by the Radio Shack-like electronics retailer Dick Smith.

Unfortunately I personally went through highschool from mid-2000s, apparently a bit too late for a strong electronics curriculum (beyond learning basic soldering and building a small project in the electronics part of the 'tech' subject, with woodwork and metalwork being the other units)
Weird move. I thought various broadcasters had figured that DAB doesn 't provide enough user benefit over FM and fm win on compatibility.

A friend of mine used to never pay for games. Not because the money mattered, but because it was possible to get them for free. I imagined the rationale went like this: "See, if games are available for free, then only suckers will pay, right? And I'm not a sucker, so I won't pay. People with respect for themselves simply do not pay for games."
Off topic, but I was diagnosed with ADHD about 10 years ago, been taking methylphenidate ER ever since. Throughout the years I have had over ten different doctors at the same location and I informed each doctor that I was a marijuana user.

Recently my latest doctor decided to drug test me, before asking any questions about my usage or even looking at my file he stated he would no longer prescribe me my medicine because I use marijuana and "those two don't interact well together". When I repeatedly asked him to back up his opinion with actual evidence (studies), he repeatedly refused. He would not even explain the reaction that marijuana had with ADHD medication. After less than three minutes I was asked to leave his office. No discussion about my condition was allowed.

I'm aware that the doctors opinion is what goes and he has all the power, but I feel I've been wronged. I really need this medicine and it's probably does more harm to kick me off cold turkey without even looking at my file than to let me smoke marijuana with it, and I feel that his opinion is based more on politics than rigorous medical study.

I have a feeling if I was an alcohol drinker he would have no problem. So it goes.

My own project, Glitch uses replay to work out glitches (bubbles of non determinism in a deterministic execution), it incidentally also makes writing incremental compilers easy (see http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/smcdirm/managedti...), and I recently used it for a new type checker (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__28QzBdyBU&feature=youtu.be). Ok, it's still a lot of work, but if you look at the problem you are solving, solving it can make the compiler writing aspect easier also.
If they were paid directly for all (or even some) of their articles, it would be important for readers to know that, right?

Buzzfeed is trying to present itself as a legitimate journalistic endeavor, lately. That is indeed the only thing that can make this a scandal of any sort. If they are not living up to how they present themselves, then, like any other journalistic outlet, they should be exposed.

For better or for worse (and I suspect we agree it's probably worse), a lot of people are getting their 'news' from buzzfeed and similar outlets these days. The audience should be educated as to what they are getting.
They will want it when they find out that they are paying a hidden fee that is being passed on by the retailer.

This is a very sloppy and/or fear mongering article, e.g. when it talks about the device being 1/2 the size of the Hiroshima bomb, which was a uranium gun assembly design. It never points out you can't make this isotope of plutonium go boom, or the much fuzzier probability that a breach of the containment wouldn't likely cause a widespread contamination problem.

In terms of efficiency, I would liken the scroll wheel to the arrow keys: it's alright for small distances, but not more.

I might suggest that the title read "Group Brainstorming does not work" or "Allocated time for group brainstorming does not work"

These titles have of course a bit less of a click-bait quality to them heh.

I think it would also be nice for the article to possibly suggest better alternatives or something (aside from the one little study they present).

For the most part, I would agree with the article. And if I were to propose an alternative suggestion, assuming the intent of this article is to enlighten / teach managers, I might give the team members an adequate amount of time off / away from the office to think about the problem and possible solutions in whatever environment the individuals feel most comfortable brainstorming.

This is based on the fact that I personally know the various activities, places, and/or mindsets in which I do my best brainstorming.

That fee covers insurance and other benefits on the card, and with the benefits, you can break even (e.g, I get 2.2% cash back, which offsets the increase the retailer adds to cover interchange). Are you suggesting people don't want the benefits?

That is strange. My doctor finds no problem with my cannabis consumption while taking methylphenidate.

Those statements are not contradictory. Each question goes to only one god, each god may receive more than one question, or none.
The author is somehow making a connection between what "doomed" Makerbot and why they went closed source. Makerbot biggest growth year was 2013 (approximately quadrupled booking rate over the course of it), the year immediately after going closed source.
These rules do not conflict. The first one means that a single question cannot be addressed to multiple gods simultaneously, the second one states you can ask each of these single-addressed questions to any one god you chose.
I don't think there's any conflict between these. The first just means that you only get a response from a single god of your choosing for each of your three questions, as opposed to receiving a response from each god for each question. It doesn't mean that each god is asked exactly one question.

It is not common in the US, no. Most retailers accept VISA and MasterCard, the two largest credit card networks.

It is more common _not_ to accept American Express -- because American Express typically charges _higher_ interchange fees than the other networks, traditionally their business model was to charge higher interchange fees and use them to fund higher 'reward' programs for the card holders.

That Costco accepts only one network is unusual. That Costco formerly chose AmEx as their exclusive network is surprising, since AmEx ordinarily charges higher fees than the others, they must have had a special deal before, but they found they could get a better special deal from VISA, apparently.

All of these things are interesting in being unusual, rather than typical, in the US market. And perhaps pointing the way to changes in the market driven by mega-retailers like Costco, at least changes in the market that mega-retainers operate in, with unclear effects on smaller retailers if it sets a precedent.
>And these practices are in a way unfair against the rest of us workers!

This raises interesting philosophical questions about work in general. If work is inherently valuable, isn't anything that enhances it a good thing (assume lack of side effects for simplicity)? Is it "unfair" if a doctor/scientist/programmer uses a product to be more productive? Very few of us are formally competitive athletes, and special rules apply to those of us who are. I think it's unfair that some people can afford secretaries, accountants, editors, private schools, etc., those seem much less fair than ADHD medicine.

One of my childhood heroes, the great mathematician Paul Erdos, was a famous amphetamine user, does that mean the wonderful contributions he made to our understanding of the universe are "unfair"?
I would bet that at least 90% of Costco shoppers know about that "hidden" fee - the higher AmEx fee is the reason those cards aren't accepted at a lot of other, especially smaller, businesses.

Beyond that, plenty of businesses are cash-only. It's not because they can't afford the machine.
The first bit mean you can't direct a question to more than one god, not each god gets exactly one question.

I made a 500 song playlist on Spotify for my drive across the U.S. and discovered that their "shuffle" was actually random. Or if it was a shuffle algorithm, it was a bad one. Whenever I stopped playing (e.g., stopped car for fuel or food), it reshuffled instead of continuing where it left off. As a result, I heard the same 100 songs on that trip.
Looks like an exact copy of : http://www.pitchpigeon.com/ . What is the benefit of this? Seems like it can come off a bit spammy...
My understanding was that in much of the rest of the world, it's actually much less common to use credit cards for standard daily purchases you don't really need any 'credit' on. And much harder to get as much of a credit line in the form of credit cards as the companies offer Americans. No?

You can ask multiple questions by compounding them into one. For example: "what is the outcome of 'is A true' converted to string and concatenated by the outcome of 'is B true'"?
Postgis probably easiest/best overall. You don't need to do routing or TSM? In a native form for one use spatialite works.

The routing piece is the hardest. But if you don't have to do that then you just need something that stores groupings. For that matter if the points are a finite list that gets loaded as new then you don't even really need to store it as spatial data. Just list of drivers, destinations, times and you should be able to determine who gets where fastest.
