Maybe the books are 0-indexed

I find the statistics dubious as well - they also dropped the dataset to nearly 1/10 while roughly doubling the code input and the results were 2% better, so it's possible if we follow the trend it will reach the 20% you seem to quote.

There are plenty of backwards local/state laws that can place additional restrictions.

The main problem is some people aren't equipped to drive in it and because of that they will get stuck in snow causing problems for the plows. I'd say most of the people in the north east US use all weather tires which won't handle more than a few inches of snow. Additionally, there isn't space for the plowed snow to go in a lot of cities so it has to be trucked out or melted. If the roads are clear then they can be back to full capacity within hours of the storm ending (including removal of snow from city streets)

As for the alcohol thing - sounds like an ignorant waiter since it's not illegal for parents to give their children alcohol in their presence (at least not nationally). There are a lot of local laws (weird dry towns and such) so it might have been something like that.

As his first act - Caturday will be a recognized (weekly) holiday and Kentucky will adopt the squirrel as it's mascot.

Clicking the scroll wheel will do that as well. But I guess you know that since you're a "real computer" user.

But that is solved by automatic headlights that turn on when it gets dark. No need to do something manually that can be automated

But just because something is medically related, doesn't mean it's protected by HIPAA. Target knowing a customer is pregnant isn't required to protect that information. For healthcare.gov, this article states it does not need to comply.

Despite its name, healthcare.gov does not handle medical data so it can't violate HIPAA laws.

Still, it should not be doing it.

The original code is correct except that you have to define "n" as the limit. Basically it'd be in a function like:
def primes_upto(n):

It uses the functional programming style available in python which allows single liners that can do a lot (though ideally you will split them up a bit for readability).

Maybe people are just looking at all the governements in history that have called themselves communist?

But there's a whole stupid section on how he "reverse engineered" the prices. Perhaps he did this by clicking the "Calculate Postage" link and filling out the form? It's spelled out pretty clearly how flat rate vs normal postage works.

Hey you're allowed to swim in that these days (as long as you don't touch the bottom) without needing to be hospitalized!

Probably because they fix the problems that pop up before the last moment. Also the last moment in a failed launch is when the problem pops up.
