Truly terrifying: I had to read your comment four times before I could find the typo.

I think I could get over that, but the idea of putting this hinting in comments is troubling for me: x = {} # type: Dict[str, str] I mean, it's very human-readable so it makes sense as a comment. It's optional, so not

It's better not to go on feel either way. In most cases, a freelance writer retains copyright and the publication that paid for the work (in this case FT) is given an implicit license to use it.

That quote from the FDA is referring to ultrasound imaging, which is performed with transducers in direct contact with the body. Even in those instances, ultrasound is regarded as one of the safest medical imaging techniques. Nonetheless, w

The control is hard if you disable the cursor lock, which I had to do to get it to work in Safari. If you lose track of your "game" cursor, you get the red circle around your "real" cursor until you link them back up. It

Ahh, that's what the "Area too full, drawing is disabled" was for. I saw some drawing in a later level and didn't connect the dots.

The US proposed many peaceful uses of nuclear explosives, mostly in the 60s. The catchall term for these proposals was "Project Plowshare" or "Operation Plowshare" [0]. > And he shall judge among the nations, and sha

An interesting take on this would be each day having to say "nope" to the nonprofit if you wanted to skip it. Make it an opt-out donation each morning (or a chosen time). You could defer all the "no" dollars into a pile

I would guess the market pricing for personal quantities of Silk Road weed (including shipping) is more in line with legal/medical prices rather than local black market prices.

Potentially, but death is still pretty rare with impure MDMA and the effects can be felt. It's also a social drug, so I would imagine most buyers purchasing ~tens of pills and sharing them with friends. One would probably leave a bad r

If all rides cost the same (i.e. price is not dependent on distance traveled) why don't they sell cards with X number of rides on them? The "rides" on the card could act like forever stamps, in that they would be valid even i

As the watermark is static in the original footage, it should be easy to remove before processing. I'd like to see the players remain, perhaps somewhat transparent, once they are cropped out of the actual shot. Otherwise the zoom/

Most 2FA schemes give you some backup codes. I'm sure people use Find My iPhone differently, but it's not unreasonable to suspect them to be used rarely. Once your device is back in-hand you could generate a few new backup codes.

My (very limited) understanding of the lawsuits brought by musicians is that it stems from a desire (by the artist) to keep ticket prices low. TicketMaster has exclusive contracts with many venues, preventing artists from selling tickets di

I can't speak to their overhead, but the fees certainly seem excessive and in some cases insulting (e.g. at-home ticket printing convenience fees). They have also been criticized, sued, and investigated for anti-trust practices. In fai

Not sure. Maybe tickets live only on your phone and are non-transferable?

TicketLabs will have an uphill battle against TicketMaster, but man do I hope they succeed.

I think pour-over with a disposable filter is probably comparable in ease of cleaning.

I grind fresh for my Aeropress, but use pre-ground (or grind-at-the-store) for cold brew and try to make it that day. You can do it in a large mason jar with several paper filters, but I use a Toddy system I got as a gift. Basically it&#x27

I do this with a Toddy, and previously with large mason jars. It tastes great heated and makes for the best iced coffee. I love that I can dilute entirely with milk or water. You're right it tastes good for up to 2 weeks or so, but do

I would read it! I work with a specific kind of high(er) dimensional medical imaging data, and I think unsupervised learning could be used for classification and foreground separation. K-means is giving me some promising preliminary results

I would love to see more books/articles/blogs on unsupervised learning and ensemble techniques. E.G. - can I use k-means clustering as input to train a naïve Bayes classifier?

I agree, but consider that it's on Nature.com and the expected audience. This was an entertaining read for those who have felt such frustration, but it's ultimately unhelpful as a published article. I did appreciate the point abou

I agree, but I could see (for example) my parents trusting the new design more. It seems more like a legitimate short term rental service rather than a couchsurfing site.

Usually they are recording the call anyway (or reserving the right to). A robot normally mentions it at the beginning of the call. I'm no lawyer, but maybe this is enough to give you permission to record your own copy?

I had a course kind of like this. My intro CS class was taught in Java, and the following summer or semester I took a 1-credit course called something like "C (and C++) for Java Programmers".

This definitely happens, but often you're asked to review a paper _because_ of your experience or publication record in that area. If someone neglects to cite your related work, should you just let that slide?
