This will actually differ from person to person. If you look at a pure yellow wavelength light next to a red/green light mixed such that they create the exact same perceived yellow to you, it will look different to another person.

Aside from that, not really sure what a 3d view with the dimensions being r,g,b would actually offer

Rubicon is excellent. I was disappointed at the time it only got one season, but in retrospect it worked out okay because it's one season done very very well.

That and also the N9 were great, wish they were not abandoned. The design language on the N9 was way ahead of its time too. I still haven't seen a time picker as good as the MeeGo time picker, and now a decade later my Samsung has similar App icons as the N9 had in 2011.

"line up and wait" is no less declarative than "position and hold", and has the advantage of not being confused with "hold short". Who is confusing "line up and wait" with "cleared for takeoff", and are they really any less likely to have been confused with "position and hold"?

Zendesk is a million times better than Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira service desk, in the context of basic ticket management workflow.

>The researchers behind the study found that people who have had success losing weight have a few things in common: They weigh themselves at least once a week. They restrict their calorie intake, stay away from high-fat foods, and watch their portion sizes. They also exercise regularly.

From your reference.

>If a subject is already severely overweight, adding exercise could compound the risks.

I can see how this would make sense, but for people who are living a sedentary lifestyle and are only moderately overweight, I find it hard to believe that exercise is a bad idea, even if it were to somewhat slow their weight loss progress (and this is without getting into "weight" loss vs. fat loss, which is what really matters)

Exercise is important for general health and fitness too, though. Holding off on starting exercise seems foolish when it has so many benefits. Count calories, but don't wait to exercise.

But because it's redeemable on demand for Australian currency shouldn't that make them a PPF provider? eg: PayPal is a registered PPF provider https://www.brightlaw.com.au/regulatory-challenges-for-purch... https://www.apra.gov.au/sites/default/files/PayPal-auth-and-...

I wonder how they're doing this in AU, can't see any info about APRA registration as an ADI/ERS user...

My interviewee style is to ask questions during the interview. I feel like it makes it more conversational and pleasant.

I ask so many questions/clarifications during an interview that even if I have a big list going into it, by the time the interviewer asks if I have any questions, I pause, and then most of the time I'll respond something like: "I think we've covered everything I was curious about" and then do a quick recap of my understanding to clarify and uncover any bad assumptions.

My interview to next stage/offer rate is quite high, so I think my interviewee style is reasonably good.

So it's a MacBook Air, and yet I can't see the most important spec -- weight -- on this page?

Suit yourself, but you're missing out on the best part!

Completely different.

>Imagine if the DEA secretly busted a whole cartel, and turned into the largest producer

The police did not produce any material.

Trying to compare illegal drugs to child exploitation is absurd.

In this case surely getting the producers is significantly outweighs being a dealer for a bit.

>The Argos commander, Insp Jon Rouse, said it had led to “significant rescues of children globally” and the arrest of “serious criminal child sex offenders”.

IAC was in Adelaide (Australia) this year, but I guess he did have to fly in for that.

Musk's speaking is always a little awkward (in an endearing way), but did he seem significantly more nervous/emotionally affected than usual in the first part of this speech? It seemed that way to me, curious if anyone else interpreted it like that.

He calms down when he starts talking about risk and it being the anniversary of a launch.

edit: Good and fun presentation regardless!

edit2: Thoughts:

- Maybe he feels in over his head. The timing when he relaxed seemed to coincide with talking about a previous experience that might have felt overwhelming at the time but paid off.

- Maybe he typically takes beta blockers or something for speeches and take them until late this time (the talk did start late)

- Maybe it's just random.

Any spacex watchers have thoughts on cause?

edit3: Definitely not a diss. Love Elon/SpaceX/the vision.

>They would probably pick something more secure than the government did

The government did NOT pick SSN's for ID. SSN cards used to have 'not to be used for identification purposes'. It was the private sector that appropriated SSN's as ID's. What the government failed in is adequately prohibiting and enforcing a prohibition of this type of use.

This happened to me with Instagram (which I stopped using after they killed the chronological feed). I'm almost certain I never gave my number to Instagram. I used it to confirm something with Facebook at some point apparently, but I don't recall giving it to them and I can't imagine myself consenting to phone notifications. At one point they sent me a message at 2am local time on a Sunday.

I still have a Galaxy Note 3 from either 2013 or 2014. It does OK, though has had a cracked screen that's only getting worse (I drop it pretty often). Battery life is the biggest issue, but it's still just within the OK range. Normal use and it will get down to 20% by the end of the day.

Glad they gave us backers our money back, but very sad and disappointing they didn't get the product out :*(

edit: Best of luck to all those involved. I'm hoping we haven't seen the last of Jeri and Rick.

>> Q I -- I appreciate that. And again, this can be designated attorneys' eyes only. It's not going to be released publicly...

>Oops.

The paragraphs surrounding that are all blacked out, so I'm not sure that this is an oops.

Safest place to be in case of nuclear war (due to low number of nearby potential targets, opposite hemisphere of most targets, good wind patterns to avoid fallout from potential targets).

There's probably more playing into it. But being a relatively geographically far, politically stable country probably has a fair bit to do with it.

I'm not sure if NZ is a net food importer/exporter, but IIRC AU can produce enough food to cover AU population so I wouldn't be surprised if NZ was similar.

That was the choice of their respective campaigns, not something that happened organically.

>(I also have the opposite problem when the customers actually pay, because they often batch many invoices together into one payment, which makes reconciliation surprisingly difficult. I wrote a little script in Python to make that easier - sort of along the lines of "Given this total, which of these invoices could potentially satisfy it?" - but it's still frustrating.)

Why not have accounts with client codes? Instruct clients to put their client codes in the narration(they won't always, but most will put something identifying themselves).

Instead of reconciling individual invoices, just sum the invoices of a particular client. If there's still an amount owing, it's for the most recent invoice(s).

I really don't see the issue here.

There's no reason that Snapchat should voluntarily censor ads on that story at their own financial loss.

All passengers are required to have a chair for safety reasons. The chairs absorb a lot of impact in the case of a crash, and obviously they also have seatbelts which are important for safety.

What is an acceptable level of whitewashing when it comes to security incidents?

In my opinion, you are correct. Cloudflare is making it sound a little too clean.

I suspect existing visa/GC holders will be allowed back in quickly once Tillerson is confirmed(better than 90 days). Not that that would mitigate how phenomenally short sighted and stupid the EO was.

If it's like here in Australia, they do consider EIRP. So a directional antenna would increase the EIRP, but with just 100mw tx at the output, I doubt EIRP would be over the limit (4W for 2.4Ghz ISM in Australia).

Surely even the possibility of this happening being talked about in the press materially damages Nokia's business.

Really hope the users' right to install software on their device gets regulated soon...
