It is the government, via TSA, ICE, etc., and not Delta or Lufthansa or whoever, that most impedes the feasibility of air travel. Let us put to bed the notion that freedom of movement means only the freedom to walk on foot or to take absur

GP might have an extremely low bar for "restaurant meal." $9 isn't quite enough for an okay lunch sandwich in the coastal/metropolitan US. Some sort of entree is more likely at about $18.

I am also baffled as to what this "change" operation is meant to suggest. Enlisting possibly-unrelated operations in a common transaction is a good tool to have in the toolbox, although it is a tad hairy to bake that into each met

A low-odds, high-reward gamble may still be preferred to its complement, but we must also consider aversion to loss of the bonus to which employees are accustomed. The new program could--but probably still wouldn't--make sense if it w

From the article: > in order to be eligible for the lottery, employees would have to have perfect attendance during the time period. Employees took that to mean no sick days.

Moreover, it is a very dim-witted program. sub-2% chance of a reward? Take a sick day and lose elgibility? Welcome to an environment of malicious compliance, UA.

If simple image matching is effective, scammers will just rotate/warp/tint their images. These techniques might also take the legs out from an MT approach. Sellers might also get a product online with one image, then later chang

Is there a place where owners of $1MM properties expect to pay less than $20K in property tax?

If that's true, it might not be very effective. Having seen the show a fair few times, I have only the vaguest idea of what the Sharks' interests are, other than FUBU--basketball owner? something to do with QVC?

Would it be fair to say phrenological study of the same groups might be similarly interesting?

VPN providers are replaceable in ways in which last-mile ISPs are not, so they have more of an incentive not to trash their reputations.

Of similar vintage to Bass Mekanik, The Crystal Method's "High Roller" has some very deep, musical bass in the first minute. This bass is lost entirely by most MP3 encodings. Makes for a good reference point for both subwoo

If any markup exists, and if Instacart splits some of that markup with the retailer, it seems like obscuring the facts to state that Instacart does not charge a _separate_ markup.

One might understand an extra-hostile stance against Java applets, having witnessed tortured attempts to keep a vendor's applet running when that applet required a very, very specific (and even then very obsolete) version of Java 1.3 i

Would you agree that the median and mode of outcomes is $0, with the mean being somewhat higher? As a "financial vehicle" options have nonzero value, but that doesn't imply one should expect a payoff, especially given very li

Not CS but any study of limits in math, perhaps with differential equations. And it’s a useful term generally, much more likely to come up in conversation than “subtrahend” or “mantissa” but not nearly as much as “tangent.”

I can't recall ever encountering a referer-based authorization scheme that included the path or querystring in its logic--although it seems likely some goofus has implemented it, somewhere.

Yes. HL7 is sort of thing you can dip into a bit, and think, "Wow... whole rooms of contractors are racking up big bills dealing with this." For me, HL7 is the analog to chemistry's wonderful "Things I Won't Work

Emacs has a reputation for being big and scary, and more effective if one knows Lisp (which is also scary). Also, the feeling that one's keyboard ought to have 'meta' and 'super' keys.
