Here is a link to the drought map for the West Coast. Comparing December 27, 2016 to December 29, 2015. Drought is significantly improved over that time period, but still quite severe in Southern California. http://droughtmonitor

That wouldn't make it any harder. Sides only have a single orientation, with the opposite side suited to the center piece of one of the neighboring sides. Placing the piece with the correct neighboring side addresses the issue automati

It isn't an issue for the state to handle. It's an issue with where the companies have chosen to locate themselves. Any state could have these new areas, not just California. The companies cluster around populations of individuals

I was thinking about this the other day. The Apple patent on IR blocking for concert bvenues, would fit this purpose pretty well.

My best guess would be that there is still some risk with these archive types since the browser-client has built in automatic decompression for them.

I was looking for a Discover Weekly saver for a while, but resorted to using just screencapping the list, and saving the good tracks internally. One issue with saving a Discover Weekly list to Spotify is that Discover Weekly is generated ba

I didn't say or even imply that. I pointed out a primary reason we often see these kinds of posts, (freezing accounts), in one paragraph. Then in the next, I mention the overall view of Paypal is more negative than it used to be, when

What does Musk have to do with the modern Paypal, that is generally disliked. The primary issues with Paypal come from the freezing of accounts, that doesn't affect the majority of users. It mostly only has effects for business with sp

The Chuck writers were brilliant in their fan service in that regard. And it's not only the season finales, they were always on the bubble and never sure if they'd get the back-6 or back-9 of a season. Because of the uncertainty,

That discussion isn't that relevant, when you're trying to figure out this kind of valuation though. The reason for that dip was largely 90 and 180 day lock-ups increasing supply of shares traded as employees sold stock. Also ther

Part of it is business model, they've outsized their market potential which is a failure of their model. It's a bit of a chicken and the egg, because it's absolutely related to their valuation. That valuation is based on a fl

For Facebook, that is absolutely false. Their last known valuation prior to IPO based on a raise was $65B (March 2011), they IPO'd at $104B. And Box had a small downward valuation shift (-36%, -$0.9B), between last raised valuation and

I explained above, but Uber is way over-valued to the point that they cannot have a reasonable IPO and acquisitions are off the table to all but a few companies that don't need that business and can acquire a direct competitor at a mor

The valuations and conditions between Lyft and Uber are drastically different. Lyft with the funding from GM has only raised $2B over it's lifespan which is comparable to that of Uber. Uber has raised nearly $13B and blown through most

About a decade ago it was a pretty commonplace thing to happen. HTML 4/4.1 was kind of messy, and could have rendering issues. So going with an (x)HTML validator was a common thing, as well as a marketable value proposal to clients. HT

I find this really odd, it's not wrong, but it doesn't invalidate O(1). It's mashing two-things together that are unneccessary and can cause misunderstanding. Big-O provides a decent tool for generic analysis and an understan

Big O-notation isn't precise, it is an approximation by nature. It only cares about the largest factors for determining the estimate.

Part of the reason Youtube provides the youtu.be link is that their systems disambiguate between mobile and desktop websites. Mobile versions have the 'm.' subdomain, and provide a less optimized experience for desktop. I would al

Likewise, I'm being pedantic. Hybrid disk would be the generic term. There has been work on liquid-state storage. So Solid State becomes the adjective modifier for providing the classification of the type of Hybrid Disk. You could in t

Like I said, it's been a few years, and the project I was working on was a smaller project, ~1000 lines of code. I try to minimize imports, and am not touching them often. I'm very considerate of what I'm adding to a codebase
