Turns out the biological lens of your eye blocks UV light, but if you get an artificial lens, your retinas can register UV light.
There's some natural variation. I can see near-UV -- this caused some confusion in high school Chemistry class when I could see some spectrum lines that nobody else could.
I've got the mild form of color deficiency that reduces my total hue resolution from about 10 million colors to about 2 million colors. Maybe my cones register UV better too as a side-effect.
Oh, and I'll happily stick with two million colors if the alternative is a freaking needle in the eye. Eyedrops - let's talk.
A couple of BD-Rs stored in a safe deep deposit box or over at a relative's house.
My bank charges $60 a year for a box - that's less expensive than any of the online services for large quantities of data. The real costs are a function of how much data you want to backup and how much redundancy you want offsite. For instance, for the 6TB drives I'm using, to have two onsite and two offsite costs twelve hundred bucks now, which compares favorably with tape solutions. I tend to upgrade backup drives every other year and trickle down the backup drives to servers and workstations, so it's not a sunk cost necessarily.
I prefer ZFS mirroring over LUKS aes-xts devices, the security of which entirely depends on how good your passphrase is. So don't be stupid and lazy in that regard. If your passphrase is really good, you shouldn't worry about anybody getting ahold of your drive.
Cool. So we agree she DID do it. You have your proof. Straight from her own mouth.
Oh, and what she did was against State Department regulations. I particularly like the 2011 regulation that Clinton herself signed where employees are warned to "Avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts." I guess HRC didn't send a single e-mail after that date, did she?
She broke regulations, she covered it up, she's destroyed any possible evidence of wrongdoing. If that's the person you want in charge of the Government, well...
Unless you live in a swing state, your vote pretty much doesn't count.
There's so little chance that your vote will count that it's pretty much not worth being informed on the issues. This causes an obviously bad cycle, which is easily exploited by concentrated interests.
If somebody was selling a product with a code-base that operated on rules this good, they'd scrap it for a rewrite. At least in a market that offers anything but a monopoly product.
He's *already* become a generic right-wing kook.
As if there were any other way to gather the requisite delegates to win the nomination.
Let's put it this way - if Murray Rothbard wanted to strategically win the nomination, he'd have to run like Rand.
If Saddam was still in power, ISIS wouldn't have been a threat to them. We weakened Iraq.
It's not merely that subtle. The USG actively funded and trained the groups that became ISIL. Now that Iran is funding their opposition, the USG can fund both sides of the conflict and be both allies and cold-war opponents with several of the participants.
Did somebody mention "stop meddling"?
In the T9 section we employed a random walk optimization. For the swipe optimization we use a similar approach but gradually reduce the number of random swaps over time so that the keyboard settles into a local minimum.
A random walk with hops being shortened over time is called "simulated annealing". It's an alternative to genetic algorithms and tends to be easier to use for problems with solutions that can't be chopped up and put together in a coherent format. For instance, keyboard layouts, which require each key to be present exactly once.
Also, for complex plotlines (see: "Lost"), people tend to forget important events that happened weeks prior
In my day, we had to remember dialog from three years back to appreciate B5. Might be why it got cancelled a few times...
Nah, this idea has been invalidated by economists.
The cost to replicate complex inventions is about 65% of the original cost and the overhead of paying the talent to have on staff to do the work (they insist you fund their own research instead of sitting idle) is almost 35%. The Patent argument boils down to dithering about a 5% difference and the consumers prefer to reward the inventors most of the time. Establishing and enforcing the patent monopoly winds up costing society more than that 5%, so the net effect is privatized gains and socialized losses.
Now there are industries that government screws up a priori, like pharmaceuticals, but patching that disaster with patents just adds insult to injury.
Speaking as someone who was just offered a drug for a family member that costs $320,000 per ounce (beyond the budget) I can tell you the current system doesn't help regular people at all. Bristol Meyers execs - they're doing just fine.
The current system *does* work very well - for certain classes of men. And the claims that people will stop inventing without monopoly enforcement ignore all the available data and human nature.
"Social Contract" is just bullshit Rousseau made up to replace the Divine Right of Kings, which had gone out of favor.
State your preference and add "social contract" to the end - it's easy and profitable.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
