well, smoke inhalation is never good for you, though the harm is mitigated when the drug is not addictive enough to make you smoke 20+ grams per day. as for IQ, who knows?
That's okay, there's a new revolutionary field of "data science" which solves all of these pesky statistical issues (survivor bias, sampling bias, hell even false positive rate) by... just ignoring them outright! Clap your hands if you believe!
And yes, the code was very complex, was thousands of lines long (when finished) and ran perfectly when I was done as far as I was ever able to tell.
Wow, that's... uh... inspiring, I guess? Maybe it would have been quite simple, verifiable, and twenty lines long if you weren't stoned out of your fucking mind while writing it.;-)
I'm mostly kidding. Personally, drug use (apart from copious caffeine, occasional nicotine, and very rarely amphetamines) has never helped me with any of my technical efforts, but I know many friends and colleagues who do quite well with pot or even, in a few cases, massive doses of hallucinogens!
Still, this anecdote as you tell it isn't very compelling evidence for your point.
it doesn't really matter how many of us there are, as long as we're on top (this benefits the lesser races as well). and, by the way, we will stay on top.
christ, that sounds simply abysmal. my heart strains for your deprivation and loss. excuse me while i wipe away these tears of bitterness toward the inhumanity of man. i am so, so sorry.:(
please reply to this if you need any help, i've been there.
Yeah, that would be awesome, they could restrict demand artificially in a vain attempt to live in the old glory days, but then how to stop their competitors? I suppose that they could make some kind of 'innovative' and 'disruptive' deal with municipal governments so that their competitors cannot compete.
Anyway, according to Uber representative OverlordQ in this thread, there is already a higher grade service ironically called Uber Black+ (maybe Uber NoBlacks+ would be more appropriate, amirite?!) wherein the drivers are insured and licensed. This would be in direct conflict with libertarianism except that it's a choice, and choice is always good.
her desperate cries were sweet to my ears (can you imagine being woken up by the extrajudicial execution of your husband? LOL), but why didn't they kill the woman too?
you're not nearly as special as you think you are. if they are able to "hide that fact" successfully, it means that there is nothing remarkable about what you're doing.
grow up, you pathetic fantasist. "coding" is not a particularly heritable property, and there is no fucking "knack". that was just something in a Dilbert cartoon.
ideally, there would be no need to give it to him. the free market would lower the price significantly if it were allowed to operate, so much that it would be as ridiculous to contemplate as armed robbery of Doritos is now.
but given that it isn't, in our current awful world, would it be that terrible to subsidize it a bit? it would cost a sliver of what it costs now to incarcerate the 'guilty' and 'accidentally' murder the innocent through SWAT raids, etc.
you vapid, braindead cunt. the reason baked chicken gets crispy is because you cook off the water, leaving the fat. let me repeat that for you: leaving the fat. idiot.
there is no fat (technically, negligible fat) to leave in popcorn. by cooking it in oil, you introduce fat, which is hydrophobic, and thus keeps water/steam away. that's why potato chips stay crispy, and that's why oil-popped corn tastes good while air-popped corn is shit and always will be. you know it's shit, because you have to put fucking lime juice in it to make it edible.
surely you can't be serious. your signature suggests that you reject the political correctness of our decadent age, and yet you persist in such intellectual folly? why? whom do you think you serve and for what prize?
the glorious science of fMRI has inherited the mantle of phrenology (itself too brilliant for its time despite its many flaws; homeopathy it certainly was not!) and will in short order vindicate the maligned theories of racial differences. the motivation of the negro is all too simple, and the calisthenics involved in the rejection of this recognition are all the proof i need of its validity.
I'm afraid that you are wrong. In fact, based on this and the rigorous science of Bayesian statistics, I suspect that it is highly probable that you may even be a black, a communist, or other undesirable. Please do not speak to me again.
I will have to reserve judgement as there are many very significant facts which are unclear. Foremost among them: what was the perpetrator's race? Far from being prejudicial or bigoted, this is very important information about his motivations and chance of recidivism. Barring a civilized scientific society wherein everyone is fMRI-scanned at all times for just this purpose, it is our social and financial responsibility to use all available data in evaluating the worth of individual humanity.
on the contrary, it is impossible to make anything else with an air popper. i'm sorry if you find the concept baffling, but here is another deep conundrum for you: french fries are crispier than baked potatoes! holy shit! how can that be possible? french fries are cooked in oil; oil makes things soggy. but somehow exactly the opposite happens! how the fuck does it work?
yes, adequate heat retention/dispersion helps a lot. my favorite is thick-walled anodized aluminum; once you get the oil ratio correct, the popcorn absorbs almost all of the oil (without getting greasy), and cleaning off the anodized aluminum is very fast.
Do not make popcorn when you're on acid unless there is a fire alarm nearby.
lol, or, maybe just "do not make popcorn when you're on acid.":)
Oh, yeah, I should add a few caveats for the geniuses at slashdot.
You'll want to either use a vented cover (vented so that the steam doesn't build up and make the popcorn soggy) or, better, hold the cover above but not flush with the pot, so that the kernels and oil stay put, but steam can escape. The latter requires a modicum of muscle tone and dexterity, so you might want to consider it an Advanced Technique.
Also don't shake the pot so hard that you splash hot oil on yourself, and remember to hold the pot by the handle. That last one is really important.
Heat a few T of coconut oil in pot (narrowish but tall works best; think along the lines of a pasta pot, not a dutch oven or saute pan) with ~3 kernels of popcorn in it. When the probe kernels start popping, add a few T of popcorn. Agitate pot gently until kernels are popped. Pour into bowl and add some salt.
Oops, I forgot to use the microwave. Shit. I dunno, I guess you could store the popcorn in it as long as it doesn't interfere with the things a microwave is good for. I've experimented with preheating the kernels in the microwave so that they pop faster in the coconut oil, but results are inconclusive to date.
it's probably a reason (excuse?) to fire someone who was being paid too much in the first place. $90k/year (or however much a server monkey costs) will buy a lot of ec2 hours, plus the healthcare and payroll taxes are a lot cheaper.
yeah, it might not be cost-effective in the long run (then again, it might) but who cares? they certainly don't.
on a less serious note, maybe the spot-pricing works out? not for the frontend of course, but it may be reasonable for some applications. i don't know, i never used it.
a lot of people have that very niche case and amazon was the first i know of to effectively satisfy it. i usually need 0 machines (of substantial power), but occasionally could use a few, so paying $2.80/hr. for a 244GB machine is pretty damned convenient. likewise i could play with a decent CUDA machine for $0.65/hr. if i ever came up with an idea to try out. assuming i use a simulator/emulator for development and preliminary eval, then 50 hours should be way more than enough, which is ~$30. peanuts.

not at all; fantasy and imagination are a lynchpin of the superiority and dominance of my race.
i wish that i knew who you were so that i could rape you to death.

air poppers make mushy garbage. popping in oil adds a lot of texture, and coconut oil adds amazing flavor.
yeah, you can cover up the mediocrity with spices (ugh) and lime juice (what the fuck is wrong with you?), but that's all it is.
Oh, yeah, I should add a few caveats for the geniuses at slashdot.

Better method that doesn't taste like shit:

i figured that Knuth would be too refined to actually say "you're full of shit".
beyond that, i would call it "unverified" rather than "not actually true."
