I’m confused as to what you are suggesting here? Normally you swim right side of the lane and turn going back on the “left side”, with room to pass on the inside unless the lane is filled with two many people. What does using two lanes add,

I’m from Europe and would similarly call bs. Literally everyone I know can afford a one week vacation. And that includes a couple on social services one friend who’s on long term sick leave and a homeless friend.... but I live in a bubble o

Because newer copies don’t include the nostalgia that’s one of the primary drivers for people’s admiration.

They exist and they are very annoying compared to regular old 50m lanes. You end up having to constantly overcompensate to one side (obviously) but also you suddenly have to either burn in a constant bias to your technique (bad) or be const

Do experts take into account previous performance and overcompensate current score to ensure previous top players are pushed out the top 10? Data seems to suggest this, which is going to extreme lengths beyond “expert votes”. And is more ak

There’s nothing cryptographic about this. It’s a central authority that either says “yes it’s real” or not. The system revolves around trust in that central authority. Everyone can easily fake a certificate which cannot be independently fal

Salary is a market value. Your arguments read like “if a BigMac costs half a Dollar in a developing country then the BigMac is inherently worth half a dollar and should cost the same in the US”

Seems that bootstrapping and outlier detection is the way to go independent of what language of “editor”(Eg notebook use) you are using. The really cool thing here is that they parse the excel formula in order to automatically “figure out”

If you buy a subscription you have that subscription until you cancel it. It wasn’t “renewed”, they just charged you the yearly cost. Imagine if your gym membership was forced to ask you every month if you still want the subscription and w

Shaving 20minutes off of a trip that takes more than an hour is not comparable to going from horses to cars. Current routes and travel times are perfectly fine when you ask the consumers, they just want it affordable. No one wants to take t

They could... but then they wouldn’t return the interpolated string, and they’d be just like using format, just saving the characters “.format” which ruins the exact thing people like about them.

Your strengt is your weakness is your strength. Spreadsheets excel at ad-hoc things because they aren’t systems, they don’t have restrictions and limitations on what data you can pull in or where you store it or what you calculate. They are

It really boggles my mind that every article on insulin goes through this cycle: “the producers are scammers it the same product put out a hundred years ago but they have new patents!!!” “It’s cheaply available in the old form” “but that’s

Changing the release profile of a drug from once daily to once weekly isn’t a minor thing, and no one is forcing customers to pick the once weekly over the once daily. Now with respect to the original claim, are you saying that once there w

Do you have references for that claim? If a company goes out with a claim their old product is unsafe it’s not like it’s rocket science to test the claim. And if their lying and you could literally corner a billion dollar industry by testin

There isn’t a monopoly. It doesn’t take decades to get a generic on the market. Insulin is available in wallmart for 25$ per vial. There is a definite problem in the US with drug pricing, and middlemen gauging the market, but it’s a straw m

This isn’t an alternative to yaml. It’s a yaml generator. To me it’s not competing with yaml it’s competing with python or Haskell, and i’d argue that putting yet another language in your stack just for generating config files is added unne

by hjk05 7y ago
Actually it’s the other way around. “If you let me, I’ll play at your bar for free beer”. The influencers are selling advertisement for cheap. And it’s the same deal as with musicians, it’s a good deal which is mutually beneficiary if the

This might depend on what you consider a “regular bank” but every bank and exchange I’ve ever come into contact with requires documentation and vetting to ensure that I am who I say I am and that I’m not not laundering money, and if the pol

> As for why, 0 is false, nonzero is true It’s not that clear cut. If you assign d[True] and then d[1] you overwrite because True hashes to 1, not because 1 is a truthy value. If you try writing to d[2] you don’t overwrite d[True]. In an

It’s helpful in the sense that the problem is concentrated at the origin. So arguments like “it’s impossible to get everyone in every country to work towards a solution” fall flat. Law makers could sit down with 100 representatives and hash
