Nope. When you enter someone else’s place of business, you have no expectation of privacy.

This is only somewhat true. At the spa for instance, you very much have an expectation of privacy. Practically speaking it is sort of contextual? Even at say a restaurant, I would be both surprised and disconcerted to discovered the business had recorded the entire conversation that occurred at my table, even though I would be unsurprised by a bit of eavesdropping.

CA has the highest poverty rates in the country

By what metric? looking at the census data, it appears the poverty rate of California, while not great, is certainly not the worst.

what about regular pictures? They’re supposed to take candid moments of the real world

I'm not sure that is an accurate representation of photography as a medium, nor has it ever been.

Formal Science?

Not exactly. THe ACLU actually does work in the area being discussed [0]. I believe the criticism is that people did not donate for that reason, not that the ACLU doesn't do anything about it; the ACLU does quite a bit.

As it turns out, Adderall is amphetamine.

That example isn't even compressed, which could drastically reduce its size.

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

Not to be obtuse, but wouldn't what is basically an anthropomorphic doughnut be fine in two dimensions? Or do you just mean that that would not likely be the digestive tract of such a thing?

Possible linguistic pedantry; he used "a" set of natural numbers, but "the" set of real numbers. It's equally difficult to represent the set of natural numbers.

I would be surprised if it didn't end up being C#, but I have no real foundation for that sentiment.

To be fair, the practice of flying in fish from Tsukiji could easily be more related to prestige than quality. There are three major fish markets in Tokyo, and nobody cares about two of them (Kanda and Koto).

They quantify the difference in samples here:

Mesopotamia would have had farming [0], but if you consider the requirements just a group of people, I think there were settlements of sorts back well into the paleolithic. but not kings-with-castles-and-princesses.

I think putting San Diego in a different group than Los Angeles was also rather odd...

Edit: now that I look at it, I would also question their "Urban Corridor" from Los Angeles to Las Vegas... unless they mean people travel between them easily. That corridor is mostly desert.

We could also just start flipping coins. Probably nearly as effective and far cheaper.

but the Federal Government is completely sitting on it. Arguably in a democracy we Americans should all be blaming ourselves for that. Because of the whole voting/paying attention/holding elected officials accountable thing. The Federal Government is representative of our collective ability to do that well, plus our historic ability to do that well I suppose.

Technically viruses are not considered "alive" either

Plan A, while fairly conventional, got shot down by the IRS.

And they are logograms, or at least they compose a logographic system.

I think it's more an issue of proportion and scale than number of towers. If there are 8 new projects, but the population looks to grow enough to fill 10 new projects, then there still need to be more.

I'm no longer a student there, but Shannon Alfaro was great at anything parser/language design related, and Gopi Meenakshisundaram was great for graphics. Eric Mjolsness is probably brilliant but everything I took from him was very dense.

I'm really happy this position was given to a woman.

"If the FCC successfully reclassifies broadband under Title II, private  investment and important innovation would come to a standstill."

My big issue with this was that within the context of this comment, the above quote is unfounded speculation? As far as I can tell at least.

That makes sense; my only thought was that if you are graphing "anomalies" you might want to filter out non-anomalous behavior. Higher highs or lower lows are actually to some degree expected in those years. I suppose it could be best not to control for oscillatory behavior though as the affect of any climate shift on those oscillations is possibly not insignificant.

Loved It!

One comment I might have is that your model assumes the average temperature on a given day of the year is constant across years. I would have to spend some time thinking of how to control for it, but have you considered the impact of climactic oscillation? Your data seems to reflect these patterns to some degree, and removing/reducing them might make the overall shift clearer.

This works great in dense cities with good mass transit. Some cities like Los Angeles virtually require auto ownership; this would just further increase costs in low income neighborhoods not served by effective mass transit.

Some stuff may want data from across relations (who owns this thing, and what is their email), but that's pretty infrequent

That might be a shaky assumption. Speaking as someone who works on a CMS, content usually has an author, and people accessing that content might be interested in them.
