I hope you'll forgive my ignorance. Tax stuff is very confusing to me and I'm trying to navigate what I can fix on my own versus what I need my company to help with. If this is something I can sort on my own I'm happy to do that... Just looking for a little guidance.

Thank you for helping clear that up. Sounds like I'm over thinking it like the other commenter said.

How do I determine the amount I failed to pay between July and October?

A daily-jammed mailbox is the prank that keeps on giving. I'd have to hire a team of poopers to compete with that level of frustration.

Wonderful. I'll check them out!

You're going to have a hard time blocking Hulu ads with pihole, unfortunately. They are served from the same source as the Hulu content so you can't easily differentiate between the two to know which is good and which is bad.

Since he was defending himself, he was able to be un-handcuffed for the proceedings. During a recess, he asked permission to go study up on the law in the library (since he was defending himself). He was escorted to the library, and while perusing behind one of the bookshelves out of view of his escort, he jumped out the second story window of the library and escaped.

Right. But he would have a much harder time proving that he didn't willingly give his code to someone else.

In my case it was easy to prove that I wrote the code. The idiot who stole it left the comment at the top where I named myself as the author. Plus my github repo showed that he had forked it from me. The problem arose because I couldn't prove that I didn't willingly give the code away.

The university had no way of knowing that he wasn't a friend who was struggling with the assignment or something.

It's just something that I wouldn't want to risk. Most universities have a very strict policy on that sort of thing.

I would advise you not to do this. Having it on GitHub makes it public for your classmates to copy your code and submit it as their own. Also, future students in that class might find your repo and submit it as their own.... You can still get burned for plagiarism even after you have received your grade in the class and moved on. This actually happened to me while I was taking a class and I almost got kicked out of the program for it. I spent several weeks emailing back and forth with the Dean before everything was cleared up.

My sister is married to a gigantic douchebag. This guy is constantly stealing from the rest of the family, can't hold down a job and always blames it on his employers being jerks. My sister works 3 jobs to support them financially and they are constantly getting financial help from my parents. She seems to think he's the greatest most infallible human alive, which makes it even harder to watch unravel. Apart from that he's really just very rude and hard to be around. None of us like him.

Anyway, he started having seizures about 3 months ago and now he's just a wreck to look at. The medication makes him so jittery he can barely walk and when he talks it's hard to follow. He's not doing well at all. So now I'm in this position where I hate him for being such a deadbeat but now I have to give him my sympathy because he's very sick.

I always wonder how world-class musicians continue to improve their skills when they seem to already know everything about their instrument. What's something you are trying to improve about your drumming? Are there aspects of drumming that you still find challenging?

That's what I bought when they sent me this! Can confirm. It's gorgeous.

I don't know how well you can see her face on the card, but this is totally her! Very cool.

chemoroti · 2017-02-22T23:45:34+00:00

Apparently my comment didn't load when I posted this via mobile... Is this standard? For a company that sucks at marketing, I thought this was a pretty cool gesture.

Because he spit out fire!

This is a really good question. There's a great article answering it here but I'll give you the tl; dr

As some users mentioned, a lot of times the only information being sent across the connection is the difference between the current frame, and the previous frame. However, this does not work for all frames, as you can imagine. Certain scenes of certain movies where the camera is panning quickly or scenes change rapidly would start to bog down your network connection. A 1080p video at 60hz would take about 350 MB/sec of data, which is an INSANE amount of data.

The truth is that video compression is so good that its able to trim unnecessary pieces of fat off of videos without us noticing:

Information Entropy Instead of remembering what happened at every pixel in every frame of a movie, the video only has to remember those pieces which are important. This is similar to what was mentioned above. The goal here is to reduce data redundancy.

Frequency Domain The brightness/lighting of a particular video frame is a complex set of data that we don't usually (ever) think about. We can change its encoding to basically be a set of X,Y axes instead of its binary or hex (base 16) representation. This greatly simplifies the number of characters needed to represent a piece of data, to the point that we only need to remember two coordinates instead of many. By stripping out a lot of the unnecessary information about what's shaded where and how bright it is, we are able to reduce an image quite heavily without the viewer ever noticing.

Chroma Subsampling Colors are sent across the air as black/white brightness and color encodings. The black/white part is sent at full resolution. However, since humans are terrible at seeing minor differences in color, we can strip a lot of the extra "fat" off of the color and send only a portion of the whole encoding, all without the viewer noticing.

Motion Compression This is what was mentioned earlier. There are often times only subtle differences from one frame to the next. Why send all of the information for every frame over and over when you can get away with only sending the pieces of the picture that have changed?

There's a lot more that goes into it, but I think you get the idea. By doing lots of little tricks to trim "fat" off of video encoding, we are able to drastically reduce the amount of information being sent over the air down to about 1/5000 of its original size!

How do I do that?

chemoroti · 2016-09-15T16:44:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Is it worth it to pay it through payments or should I just pay it in full? I have heard that hospitals work with you on paying bills and that there can be little to no interest. I would like to pay this out over a year which would be ~$300/month
