Have you tried comply-style foam tips? I feel pressure with the standard silicone tips that iems tend to come with, but I've been able to wear foam ones for hours without discomfort. The only issue imo is that the foam tips do wear out and break down over time. I haven't actually tracked how long they last, but from memory I think I get about 6 months out of a pair of foam earbud tips.

Just a guess, but from the preview image the site shows, youtube w/o ublock loads 2 large banners, and one row of videos, vs 3 rows of videos w/ ublock. The larger number of video thumbnails shown may explain the larger size

I'm no expert on this, but I think that wording suggests that the government's goal is to tax, but it seems to me that a government really wants to spend.

My understanding of MMT is that it removes the direct relationship between the ideas of spending and taxation, instead tying them both to inflation. Spending increases inflation by adding currency into circulation, and taxation decreases inflation by removing it from circulation. Although I'm not sure how that fits into a one-liner :)

What's the name of the podcast?

Google Maps in the U.S. has the avoid tolls option as well. I'm not the poster that previously brought up this issue, but I'm happy to use a toll road if it saves me significant time. It would be nice if I could set a threshold to say "only use toll roads if it'll save me X minutes," or something similar.

It shows the infobox, but there's a "Show all results" button below it for me.

The books are "Have Fun at Work" and "Friends in High Places," both by William L. Livingston

I'm curious how important it is to most people which side the window controls are on. I prefer the controls on the right, but whenever I do use Ubuntu or other systems where the controls are on the left, it doesn't really bother me. If others consider it more important, I'd be interested to hear why.

You can go to the "History" page on youtube and delete the video from your watch history. It seems to stop youtube from using it for recommendations.

I use the french press metal filter to catch the majority of the grounds, but then pour through a paper filter to get the finer sediment out.

The part about 3d printing "to create specific housewares for a dinner party when you throw it" to minimize the need for storage seems pretty out there, but that's the only part that really stuck out to me.

I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, the states' justifications aren't important to this appeal. The decision that "the FCC is not able to, essentially, remove state laws that prevent the construction of municipal broadband networks" (from the article) doesn't say anything about the legality of the state laws, just that the FCC doesn't have the authority to change them.

I assume they mean small from a UI perspective, not small from a codebase perspective.

The tablet also says "33 photos taken". Maybe there's a significance to the number 33?

The article also mentions that DLC and free-to-play games (along with in-game purchases, I'd assume) weren't counted in the Steam sales numbers, so the Steam marketshare shown could be a low estimate.

The issue of distinguishing high-quality execs from low-quality ones is one of the points mentioned in the Jacquart & Armstrong paper that I think the article was referencing[1].

I have a US chip card where I've set a PIN for transaction purposes, so it's not signature only, but it'll still accept both. That said, all of the chip card readers that I've used (few and far between still...) seem to have been configured for signature only, so I haven't been prompted for my PIN yet.

ADHD is defined in the DSM-IV and now -5 as presenting with predominantly hyperactive tendencies or with predominantly inattentive tendencies (or combined, presenting both).

This was a little unclear to me until I looked into the wikipedia page you linked a bit more[1]. To try to clarify in case others are in the same spot, ADHD has 3 primary "sub-types:"

* Predominantly inattentive, which is the form discussed in the original article.

* Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, which most diagnosed boys exhibit.

* Combined (AKA both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive)

I'm not sure if the most common case for young boys is only hyperactive or if it's combined. Either way, the symptoms of hyperactivity are most disruptive, so they are what causes most people to seek medical help.

Yeah, it's still flash video today, but Twitch announced today they plan to implement HTML5 streaming in Q1 2016

I only recently discovered what I was missing with podcasts, so I'm still finding good ones. Here's the current list:

- America's Test Kitchen

- Motley Fool Money

- Smart Passive Income

- Paul's Security Weekly

- Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project

- This is Only a Test

Interesting read. Thanks :)

Let me clarify with an example. Suppose you have an array:

  int a[10]

  int x = a[2]

  int x = *(a+(sizeof(int)*2))

Edit: missing paren

"Forgiving yourself" may not be the best advice for all procrastinators, but I think the idea is that when many people procrastinate, it causes them extra stress when the decision comes back to bite them. A part of that stress is simply because they have less time to do what they need, but another component is that they are kicking themselves for being stupid in the past. Forgiving yourself lets you remove the stress from the latter part, and thus would reduce the total amount.

There is no strict difference between a pointer and an array (of any size) at run time in C. Arrays are just pointers to a section of memory, and it's up to the programmer to communicate how big that section is.

In C (and in all other languages I can think of), an array is actually a pointer to a bunch of memory. Indexing into the array calculates offset from the array pointer, and grabs the item at that offset.

What does gender truly have to do with the "Grey Man" idea? The core idea as I see it is to blend in with your surroundings, be "boring grey" instead standing out. Sure, "Grey Man" has the word "Man" in it, but I think the operative word in it is "Grey."

Also, where was the interview you watched?

I don't think mining metrics itself is a bad thing. As a player of primarily online competitive games like Counter-Strike or SCII, there are certain metrics that I want devs to keep track of, like average game length, which units/guns/etc. are used most commonly (may indicate an issue with game balance). I think data about the game is useful to the devs and ultimately the players, since it can influence improvements to the gameplay experience. I'm sure that the data being kept by many F2P games is well beyond what I would consider acceptable or necessary, though.

I would bet that the studies focused on cognitive function and typing ability because they're objectively measurable, and much more repeatable than, say, measuring the significance or difficulty of the tasks.
