There is a rigorous notion about how well an irrational can be approximated by a rational, related to its continued fraction representation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction ). I'm having trouble

I pay (more precisely, my employer pays for me) more in health insurance premiums than I do in income taxes, so this isn't really surprising. Unless you're commenting on the magnitude of the project, then yes, it's something

I don't even know all of the players, and don't claim to know their motivations. I will say that you don't need a mastermind or a conspiracy if your incentives are shared or aligned. Some may have done it for money, some fo

Not only was the disaster entirely predictable, they themselves predicted it. For Gulf War I, Cheney (then Secretary of Defense) explained why they left Saddam in power - that removing him would create a power vacuum and a civil war leadin

Wiping the page sets all of the data back to 0, just as it was on initial process launch. The keys are wiped, but so is your BOOL IsInitialized, so you would seed from hardware entropy the same way the parent process did when it saw that t

I don't think it's that there aren't productive places for investing. Housing is unique in that a regular person can get a loan to purchase an asset that normally appreciates, and they can deduct the interest from their taxe

I don't recall the specifics, but there's a 10/31 deadline for IRS filings that sets the date on some tax evasion charges, and the oldest ones were going to lapse.

In California, it's frequently called a "California Roll", which makes it a pun for the sushi.

On the flip side, having each representative tied to a particular locality makes sense from a service delivery standpoint. If there are potholes in your street, you contact the city council member from your district. And if they aren&#x27

The standard argument for showing that they have the same cardinality is to consider the matrix (let's see if I can render this): 1/1 2/1 3/1 4/1 ... 1/2 2/2 3/2 4/2 ... 1&#x2

This happened to me last month, in the US. We were in a popular tourist hotel, so I figured we would take a cab that's already here rather than trying to hook up with a Lyft driver. It was the worst! "Broken" credit card ma

This is part of the reason few private insurers offer flood insurance. They understand they there isn't enough information to properly price the risk. The historic data is spotty, we don't understand the geography well enough, y

It's true that the journey is often more important than the destination. You don't really watch HIMYM to find out how Ted met his wife (at least up until the last season). On the other hand, each episode needs to have some kind

The stated motivation (which you are free to believe or not) is that the site was used to organize a violent protest, and that they are not interested in the users who were merely exercising their right to free speech or assembly.

My understanding is that for many fish species, the fish are caught well offshore on multi-day fishing trips. They are put on ice immediately, otherwise they return to the docks with spoiled fish. Think "The Perfect Storm".

Oh, definitely, you'd document it if that was possible. And I'm not saying this guy's story makes any sense. You might do a burial at sea on a 10-day voyage on the open ocean, there's no legitimate reason to do it on

It's going to vary depending on circumstances. If you are engaging in an activity where this is a realistic possibility, there should be a discussion about it. I recently sailed a boat from Los Angeles to Hawaii, and while the trip i

There is no excuse for the journal to take so long to provide a response. At the same time, it seems to me that their response was entirely predictable. Or does the journal usually post such long articles directed at a general audience?

It sounds like an interesting result, I look forward to reading the paper more carefully. That said, it's clearly not written for an academic journal. Section 2.4.3 is entitled "The Importance of Code Size", and explains wh

Whatever debate there may be about how Uber drivers should be classified, there's no way it directly impacts Uber's customers. Please provide a citation, if you have one.
