I think the antibiotics probably tone down the inflammation (not sure why) which resolves the appendicitis. It's also possible our previous understanding of appendicitis (as documented on Wikipedia) needs to be updated in light of this

Yes! It's possible that is the entire source of the discrepancy. But I am still a bit surprised that you haven't at least run into some libertarians in CA.

I find this incredibly surprising. Do you give them a chance to? So many of my colleagues (at a big tech co) have expressed various conservative views. Granted, I live in NYC, but this feels a bit like you're experiencing confirmation

If I'm understanding correctly, those five players are for the match in early August. They'll still have a match against top pros at the International in late August.

It's a bit funny to write off a hash table that is by design competing with another hash table by saying "it's not a different data structure, so I'm not interested." Moreover, this kind of optimization only makes s

Aha, good point. I wasn't convinced of her reputation from either this or quora, but, yes. I accept this as fact then.

I can't confirm that? Can you provide another source? Because I agree - that would dramatically change the narrative of the movie. (Even still, I'm not convinced that it would make Ray a particularly empathetic character) Searchin

Semi relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1958/ But these attacks are worth thinking about, and it is definitely useful to build systems that are robust to this type of meddling.

My takeaway from this is that the movie made reasonable changes to provide a compelling narrative while retaining the fact and spirit of the most important bits: * Ray did marry Joan * Harry did make McDonald's viable * The brothers we

Essentially: previously, small local perturbations (everywhere though) could make an image look imperceptibly different to a human but be totally misclassified. This research says: defending against that is not enough. If you're allowe

It's kind of expected, right? Here's an industry that is existentially threatened. It's natural for them to lash out at the companies that are thriving

Yes - agreed on your proposed changes! In general, I think (I hope!) if your friends understood the system, they would be more supportive here, too. Democrats should be united in support of all immigrants and especially removing racist rest

Thanks for the response! It seems like one should be able to be against both: breaking up families is crappy and totally not fun. We also don't want people to think breaking the law is the best/only way to support [or be with] the

by wrsh07 9y ago
Isn't it frequently easier for people to break the law than go through proper channels to accomplish a goal? Eg driving a car without a license, import goods, repair a tractor ( shudder , obviously)

So... this is light on details into their analysis, but Laszlo Block [formerly of Google - where I work fwiw], claimed "In 2015 we added 8,214 employees to Google. And the women we hired, on average, received a 30 percent bigger salary

Should the title be "legislate," not "legalise"? I know it's copied from the source, but it still seems a bit confusing / misleading.

The most compelling part is the last paragraph describing the "Campaign": > By April 1960, Chinese leaders realized that sparrows ate a large amount of insects, as well as grains.[7][8] Rather than being increased, rice yields

We see a lot of back-of-the-envelope math about total costs. Eg FastCompany has a post [1] that suggests total costs today [with more-or-less publicly available equipment] would be about $300k. I think if it remained north of $200k, it woul

Yes, and that's without accounting for the cost reduction of reduced accidents.

If you're going to complain about missing features in the language, you should probably be aware of what plans are being made for the language's future...

by wrsh07 9y ago
Yeah, but look at when C++ started getting regular releases. These are hard problems, and the things in 11, 14, and 17 are useful. Ultimately, people [on the committee and developing the language] are prioritizing what they need. It's

My understanding is that Thrift is Facebook's analog to Google's Stubby. Or gRPC [which is the next generation of Stubby]. It's not implementing the gRPC interface. I don't think gRPC was open-sourced [2015] early enough

Also, something I've thought about a lot since listening to this 99pi episode [2] is that technology is best when it enhances useful skills. [or at least doesn't atrophy them] I think that services like Blue Apron are actually kin
