The sad thing about that is that there have been actual applications with actual users that require unique passwords.

Indeed, I can see several differences. The colors, obviously, but also the child in the foreground is dirtier, the men at the edges are darker, the men at the center are lighter, and all faces are clearer, and the sky is darker.

The picture looks unnatural. Whether this was achieved with props or post-processing is not relevant - what is relevant is that it won a competition for realistic photos, despite not exhibiting realism.

If you want to go down that route, I suggest examining the assumptions of so called nonparametric tests and uninformative priors as future topics.

There's Pratchett's book The Dark Side of the Sun, in which one of the alien races, the Jokers, is known only by the artefacts they've left behind. These include fossils from the future, monomolecular towers, and ring stars.

I was surprised at the size of the screenshots - 750x340. Not 800x600, not even 854x480, but 22:10. Given that layouts tend to break vertically, I was expecting the shots to be at least to the fold.

So what you're looking for is 1) a photo 2) not depicting a secret 3) publicized unintentionally 4) that ruined a life or relationship 5) without involving mass misunderstanding Sorry, I can't provide one for you. The documentatio

There's more to it than mistakes. I'm reminded of an advice column from a few weeks back where someone had found out that their recently dead grandmother had been homosexual and was wondering whether to share this with her homophobic family

You're awfully close to a No true Scotsman argument, there. However, if you're interested in damaging photos that aren't secret, you need but take a look at the history of social news. There have been a number of high-profile false allegati

Hash/GUID collision is exactly what I suspect. I wonder if we'll learn anything from this, or if we'll ever even see an analysis.

I'm not paying for the driver's time - the taxi company is responsible for that. I want a transport that takes me from point A to point B in the shortest time possible, and paying for the driver's time (at a higher rate, no less) is activel

Yeah - just saying that if the goal is to have a function that's medium for both high and low speeds, m+s is not it. It definitely makes sense to pay more for longer distances, but I for one do not want to pay extra for slower travel. Somet

It's worth noting that with Uber's current price structure, if you get there super fast the fee is small, and if it takes ages it's huge. So it sounds more like worst of both worlds.

What a odd pricing model. 50 SEK + 175 SEK/10 km at moderate speeds, with a jump discontinuity to 50 SEK + 600 SEK/10 km and above at low speeds - such as traffic lights. Taxi Stockholm charges 45 SEK + 246-280 SEK/10 km, which looks like m

I don't think we're using the same words to mean the same things.

That's true, but it's not as significant a difference as interpretative art. The original still dominates. Good point, though. Delivery of embedded content is often ignored.

"Stealing" jokes is very much frowned upon, but at least in performing arts, much relies on delivery. The same is not true for static arts, where poor attribution ranges from forgery to plagiarism.

A major problem with saving all pdf files to be opened in a separate program is having to delete the temporary files afterwards. That's not very unix-y. Another, less common, problem is erasing the URL in the process.

It means Chrome comes with a built-in pdf reader that, when you decide to save the file you're looking at, does not re-download it. This is significant when dealing with large files, and not a feature present in all competing products. Howe

There are always new or old words to replace to castrated ones. I'll bet most people will pause at you calling them ass nugget or dullard, for instance.

That's an extremely dogmatic position. There are certainly situations where it is not useful or even accurate to proceed under the null hypothesis, but the converse is also very much true. Checking Wikipedia, I see they also describe the sc

What was your replacement suggestion? I would say acceptance is often a fair description for lack of rejection.

That's pretty much what the saying is about. The existence of an exception proves the existence of a rule. The reliability of the rule can be estimated by considering the exceptionality of the exception.

You may be interested in the work of Geert Hofstede, who attempted to map different cultures. He gave the USA a score of 62 on competitiveness over comfort, which he calls masculinity, and a score of 91 on individuality over cooperation. h

I'm not so sure about that. A lot of people were amused by his comments, by many fewer were actually offended. He did suffer some setbacks, but nothing career-threatening.

The overlay has changed a couple of times, when they've combined or relabeled the options. The last time I got it, they had removed the "go away" option, so I gave them one of the answers they accepted - "I don't want to use my g+ profile,
