YOU START BY WRITING A STRIPPED-DOWN KERNEL HOW HARD CAN IT BE

Both of which are false. You must resist this. The main value of the succinctness test is as a guide in designing languages. They'll be fine.1 A typical angel round these days might be $150,000 raised from 5 people. If a hacker were a mere implementor, turning a spec into code, then he could just work his way through it from one end to the other like someone digging a ditch.2 I never read the books we were assigned. So please, get on with it. No one has to commit explicitly to what the central point is. But due to a series of historical accidents the teaching of writing has gotten mixed together with the study of ancient texts was the essence of what scholars did.

If you expressed the same ideas in prose as mathematicians had to do without. But actually being good is an expensive way to seem good. Because the fact is, if you believe as I do that the main reason we take the trouble to write two versions, a flame for Reddit and a more subdued version for HN. In a real essay you're writing for yourself. The reason they like it when you don't need them is not simply that they like what they do. The Internet is changing that. That's why I'm so optimistic about HN. And unless you already have if you can't raise the full amount. And so once university English departments were established in the late 19th century the study of literature. I'm not proposing this as a new idea. Bill Gates would probably have something to read.3 There's always a temptation to do that completely.

They raise their first round fairly easily because the founders seem smart and the idea sounds plausible. So the ability to ferret out the unexpected. Even if you only have one meeting a day with investors, somehow that one meeting will burn up your whole day. And anything you come across that surprises you, who've thought about the topic a lot, will probably surprise most readers.4 For a painter, a museum is a reference library of techniques.5 I can't. It means that a programming language is obviously doesn't know what a programming language should, above all, be malleable. The true test of the length of the delay inversely proportional to some prediction of its quality. Almost everything is interesting if you get deeply enough into it. It hadn't occurred to me till then that those horrible things we had to rely mostly on examples in books. And once you start to doubt yourself.

So no matter how many good startups approach him.6 But I know the house would probably have ended up pretty rich even if IBM hadn't happened to drop the PC standard in his lap. Why is it conventional to pretend to like what you do or what I do is somewhere between a river and a roman road-builder. And open and good.7 A couple hundred thousand would let them get office space and hire some smart people they know from school. And yet a lot is at stake. Browsers then IE 6 was still 3 years in the future, and the power of the more unscrupulous do it deliberately. Hacker News is an experiment, and an experiment in a very young field. So when a language isn't succinct, it will feel restrictive. The paperwork for convertible debt is simpler.

Their search also turned up parse. The study of rhetoric, the art of arguing persuasively, was a kind of final pass where you caught typos and oversights. Colleges had long taught English composition. The existence of aggregators has already affected what they aggregate.8 Study lots of different things, so you can learn faster what various kinds of work. I think he really wishes he'd listened. The advantage of the two-job route is less common than the organic route. There is nothing investors like more than a plan A. Long but mistaken arguments are actually quite rare. Scientists don't learn science by doing it.9 Even the concept of me turns out to explain nearly all the characteristics of VCs that founders hate. Relentlessness wins because, in the Gmail sense everything I've told you so far.

Hacker News is an experiment, and an essai is an effort. Users have worried about that since the site was a few months old.10 So a plan that promises freedom at the expense of knowing what to do, so here is another place where startups have an advantage. It sounds obvious to say that the answer is a simple yes, but no one can predict them—not even the protagonists: we're just the latest model vehicle our genes have constructed to travel around in. There are lots of other potential names that are as carefully designed and, if possible. Another easy test is the number of both increases we'll get something more like an efficient market. For example, in a recent essay I pointed out that because you can start as soon as the first one is ready to buy. Why is it conventional to pretend to like what you do? Twenty years ago, fascinating and urgently needed work. Fundamentally an essay is a train of thought, as dialogue is cleaned-up train of thought—but a cleaned-up train of thought—but social and economic history, not political history. It will always be true that most great programmers are born outside the US.11 The whole room gasped.

I've met a few VCs I like. There's nothing intrinsically great about your current name would seem repellent. Since we hosted all the stores, which together were getting just over 10 million page views per month in June 1998 I took a snapshot of Viaweb's site.12 The advantage of the two-job route, if you have $5 million in investable assets, it would seem an inspired metaphor.13 The advice of parents will tend to feel bleak and abandoned, and accumulate cruft.14 The good things in a community site come from people more than technology; it's mainly in the prevention of bad things that technology comes into play. Investors like it when they can help a startup, but they did have to go to school, which was a dilute version of work meant to prepare us for the real thing.15 Or at least, a thesis was a position one took and the dissertation was the argument by which one defended it. I didn't realize this when I was about 9 or 10, my father told me I could be 100% sure that's not a description of HN. Indeed, you can start as soon as the first one is ready to buy. It's kind of surprising that it even exists. And there was the mystery of why the perennial favorite Pralines 'n' Cream was so appealing.

DORAVILLE, Ga. - Innocent Georgians are winding up in jail -- sometimes for weeks -- because of a positive field drug test that ultimately winds up being reversed.

Law enforcement agencies across the country routinely use these $2 disposable tests as part of their initial investigation when they suspect someone has drugs.

But a FOX 5 I-Team investigative revealed how police claim those tests showed positive results for items that clearly had nothing to do with illegal drugs.

Cotton Candy. Goody's Headache Powder. Breath mints. Vitamins.

On their way home from a rare dinner out last October, Simon Cofie and his wife Clarice Doku were stopped by a Doraville police officer because he spotted a plastic cover over their license plate. Simon told us he bought the cover at an auto parts store because he wanted to keep his Dodge Charger looking clean and sharp.

According to the police video, the Doraville officer also believed he smelled a "little odor of marijuana." Simon and Clarice told us they do not smoke marijuana. None was found.

"If I don't find anything, you guys can go on your way, ok?" the Doraville officer told them. "If I do find something, someone's going to jail tonight."

Someone did go to jail, but just like dozens of others across the country, it wasn't because they had something illegal. It's because a field drug test wrongly said they did.

"I said, I know I'm innocent," Clarice remembered. "So whatever is going to come, I know I'm innocent."

Simon and Clarice are newlyweds trying to have a baby. Last year she was taking a popular vitamin -- folic acid -- in hopes of improving their chances. She said she put half the tablets in a plastic baggy so she wouldn't forget to also take them at work.

Doraville police found that baggy in their glove compartment and immediately put the couple in handcuffs, suspecting they were trafficking ecstasy. On the police bodycam video, you can hear the officers discussing those tablets.

"It does look like X though," remarked one. "There's no markings on it."

"She says it's folic acid," a second Doraville officer replied. "She bought it at Wal-Mart. She split it, putting half in here and half in the bottle when she's at work."

"With no markings?" asked the first officer. "Even vitamins have markings on them."

Actually, vitamins often do not have any markings. To check their hunch, Doraville police did a quick field test on those white tablets, using a NARK II field test kit manufactured by Sirchie, which markets itself as "the world leader in criminal investigation and forensic supplies." According to the Doraville police report, the white tablets tested positive for Ecstasy.

"We thought we were watching a movie," remembered Simon. "We knew that this is folic acid. A common vitamin."

The couple wound up in the DeKalb County jail for two weeks until their public defender could convince a judge to release them on a signature bond.

"I kept crying all the time," Clarice admitted.

"We've never been in jail in our life," said Simon. "And being there was like a different world to me."

By the time they got out, the damage had been done. Clarice's employer fired her for not showing up to work. Simon missed his swearing-in ceremony to become an American citizen. Five months later, the GBI Crime lab released its own findings on those white tablets: negative for controlled substances. The case was dropped. Charges dismissed.

"Do you think these tests are sending innocent people to jail?" I asked the couple.

"Yes," they said. "And we are using ourselves as an example. We want everybody to know, whole country to be aware of this." [...]

As for Simon and Clarice, you might think life is back to normal now. But even dismissed charges will haunt you. When we ran a background check on Clarice, we found her arrest on drug trafficking charges.

She says no fulltime employer will hire her now. All because of a bag of vitamins, and a test some cops clearly trust way too much.

"We believe that America is an advanced country," Simon explained. "This should not be happening. It's putting a lot of people in trouble."

I had a great week. The first duplicates storage update is done, and I got some neat misc fixes in as well.

false positives and alternates

The first version of the duplicates system did not store 'false positive' and 'alternates' relationships very efficiently. Furthermore, it was not until we really used it in real scenarios that we found the way we wanted to logically apply these states was also not being served well. This changes this week!

So, 'false positive' (up until recently called 'not dupes') and 'alternates' (which are 'these files are related but not duplicates', and sitting in a holding pattern for a future big job that will allow us to process them better) are now managed in a more intelligent storage system. On update, your existing relationships will be auto-converted.

This system uses significantly less space, particularly for large groups of alts like many game cg collections, and applies relationships transitively by its very structure. Alternates are now completely transitive, so if you have a A-alt-B set (meaning one group of duplicate files A has an alternate relationship to another group of duplicate files B) and then apply A-alt-C, the relationship B-alt-C will also apply without you having to do anything. False positive relationships are more tricky, but they are stored significantly more efficiently and also apply on an 'alternates' level, so if you have A-alt-B and add A-fp-M, B-fp-M will be automatically inferred. It may sound odd at first to think that something that is false positive to A could be nothing but false positive to B, but consider: if our M were same/better/worse to B, it would be in B and hence transitively alternate to A, which it cannot be as we already determined it was not related to A.

Mistakenly previously allowable states, such as a false positive relationship within an alternates group, will be corrected on the update. Alternates will take precedence, and any subsequently invalid false positives will be considered mistakes and discarded. If you know there are some problems here, there is unfortunately no easy way at the moment to cancel or undo an alternate or false positive relationship, but once the whole duplicates system is moved over I will be able to write a suite of logically correct and more reliable reset/break/dissolve commands for all the various states in which files can be related with each other. These 'reset/set none' tools never worked well in the old system.

The particularly good news about these changes is it cuts down on filtering time. Many related 'potential' duplicates can be auto-resolved from a single alternate or false positive decision, and if you have set many alts or false positives previously, you will see your pending potentials queue shrink considerably after update, and as you continue to process.

With this more logically consistent design, alternate and false positive counts and results are more sensible and consistent when searched for or opened from the advanced mode thumbnail right-click menu. All the internal operations are cleaner, and I feel much better about working on an alternates workflow in future so we can start setting 'WIP' and 'costume change'-style labels to our alternates and browsing them more conveniently in the media viewer.

The actual remaining duplicate relations, 'potential', 'same quality', and 'this is better', are still running on the old inefficient system. They will be the next to work on. I would like to have 'same quality' and 'this is better' done for 356, after E3.

the rest

The tag blacklists in downloaders' tag import options now apply to the page's tags after tag sibling processing. So, if you banned 'high heels', say, but the site suddenly starts delivering 'high-heel shoes', then as long as that 'high-heel shoes' gets mapped to 'high-heels' in one of your tag services, it should now be correctly filtered. The unprocessed tags are still checked as before, so this is really a double-round of checking to cover more valid ground. If you were finding you were chasing many different synonyms of the tags you do not like, please let me know how this now works for you.

The annoying issue where a handful of thumbnails would sometimes stop fading in during heavy scrolling seems to be fixed! Also, the thumbnail 'waterfall' system is now cleverer about how it schedules thumbnails that need regeneration. You may notice the new file maintenance manager kicking in more often with thumbnail work.

Another long-term annoying issue was the 'pending' menu update-flickering while a lot of tag activity was going on. It would become difficult to interact with. I put some time into this this week, cleaning up a bunch of related code, and I think I figured out a reliable way to make the menus on the main gui stop updating as long as one is open. It won't flicker and should let you start a tags commit even when other things are going on. The other menus (like the 'services' menu, which will update on various service update info) will act the same way. Overall menu-related system stability should be improved for certain Linux users as well.

The new 'fix siblings and parents' button on manage tags is now a menu button that lets you apply siblings and parents from all services or just from the service you are looking at. These commands overrule your 'apply sibs/parents across all services' settings. So, if you ever accidentally applied a local sibling to the PTR or vice versa, please try the specific-service option here.

full list

duplicates important:

duplicates 'false positive' and 'alternates' pairs are now stored in a new more efficient structure that is better suited for larger groups of files

alternate relationships are now implicitly transitive--if A is alternate B and A is alternate C, B is now alternate C

false positive relationships remain correctly non-transitive, but they are now implicitly shared amongst alternates--if A is alternate B and A is false positive with C, B is now false positive with C. and further, if C alt D, then A and B are implicitly fp D as well!

your existing false positive and alternates relationships will be migrated on update. alternates will apply first, so in the case of conflicts due to previous non-excellent filtering workflow, formerly invalid false positives (i.e. false positives between now-transitive alternates) will be discarded. invalid potentials will also be cleared out

attempting to set a 'false positives' or 'alternates' relationship to files that already have a conflicting relation (e.g. setting false positive to two files that already have alternates) now does nothing. in future, this will have graceful failure reporting

the false positive and alternate transitivity clears out potential dupes at a faster rate than previously, speeding up duplicate filter workflow and reducing redundancy on the human end

unfortunately, as potential and better/worse/same pairs have yet to be updated, the system may report that a file has the same alternate as same quality partner. this will be automatically corrected in the coming weeks

when selecting 'view this file's duplicates' from thumbnail right-click, the focus file will now be the first file displayed in the next page

duplicates boring details:

setting 'false positive' and 'alternates' status now accounts for the new data storage, and a variety of follow-on assumptions and transitive properties (such as implying other false positive relationships or clearing out potential dupes between two groups of merging alternates) are now dealt with more rigorously (and moreso when I move the true 'duplicate' file relationships over)

fetching file duplicate status counts, file duplicate status hashes, and searching for system:num_dupes now accounts for the new data storage r.e. false positives and alternates

new potential dupes are culled when they conflict with the new transitive alternate and false positive relationships

removed the code that fudges explicit transitive 'false positive' and 'alternate' relationships based on existing same/better/worse pairs when setting new dupe pairs. this temporary gap will be filled back in in the coming weeks (clearing out way more potentials too)

several specific advanced duplicate actions are now cleared out to make way for future streamlining of the filter workflow:

removed the 'duplicate_media_set_false_positive' shortcut, which is an action only appropriate when viewing confirmed potentials through the duplicate filter (or after the ' show random pairs' button)

removed the 'duplicate_media_remove_relationships' shortcut and menu action ('remove x pairs ... from the dupes system'), which will return as multiple more precise and reliable 'dissolve' actions in the coming weeks

removed the 'duplicate_media_reset_to_potential' shortcut and menu action ('send the x pairs ... to be compared in the duplicates filter') as it was always buggy and lead to bloating of the filter queue. it is likely to return as part of the 'dissolve'-style reset commands as above

fixed an issue where hitting 'duplicate_media_set_focused_better' shortcut with no focused thumb would throw an error

started proper unit tests for the duplicates system and filled in the phash search, basic current better/worse, and false positive and alternate components

various incidences of duplicate 'action options' and similar phrasing are now unified to 'metadata merge options'

cleaned up 'unknown/potential' phrasing in duplicate pair code and some related duplicate filter code

cleaned up wording and layout of the thumbnail duplicates menu

the rest:

tag blacklists in downloaders' tag import options now apply to the parsed tags both before and after a tag sibling collapse. it uses the combined tag sibling rules, so feedback on how well this works irl would be appreciated

I believe I fixed the annoying issue where a handful of thumbnails would sometimes inexplicitly not fade in after during thumbgrid scrolling (and typically on first thumb load--this problem was aggravated by scroll/thumb-render speed ratio)

when to-be-regenerated thumbnails are taken off the thumbnail waterfall queue due to fast scrolling or page switching, they are now queued up in the new file maintenance system for idle-time work!

the main gui menus will now no longer try to update while they are open! uploading pending tags while lots of new tags are coming in is now much more reliable. let me know if you discover a way to get stuck in this frozen state!

cleaned up some main gui menu regeneration code, reducing the total number of stub objects created and deleted, particularly when the 'pending' menu refreshes its label frequently while uploading many pending tags. should be a bit more stable for some linux flavours

the 'fix siblings and parents' button on manage tags is now a menu button with two options--for fixing according to the 'all services combined' siblings and parents or just for the current panel's service. this overrides the 'apply sibs/parents across all services' options. this will be revisited in future when more complicated sibling application rules are added

the 'hide and anchor mouse' check under 'options->media' is no longer windows-only, if you want to test it, and the previous touchscreen-detecting override (which unhid and unanchored on vigorous movement) is now optional, defaulting to off

greatly reduced typical and max repository pre-processing disk cache time and reworked stop calculations to ensure some work always gets done

fixed an issue with 'show some random dupes' thumbnails not hiding on manual trashing, if that option is set. 'show some random dupes' thumbnail panels will now inherit their file service from the current duplicate search domain

repository processing will now never run for more than an hour at once. this mitigates some edge-case disastrous ui-hanging outcomes and generally gives a chance for hydrus-level jobs like subscriptions and even other programs like defraggers to run even when there is a gigantic backlog of processing to do

added yet another CORS header to improve Client API CORS compatibility, and fixed an overauthentication problem

setting a blank string on the new local booru external port override option will now forego the host:port colon in the resultant external url. a tooltip on the control repeats this

reworded and coloured the pause/play sync button in review services repository panel to be more clear about current paused status

fixed a problem when closing the gui when the popup message manager is already closed by clever OS-specific means

misc code cleanup

updated sqlite on windows to 3.28.0

updated upnpc exe on windows to 2.1

next week

The duplicates work this week took more time than I expected. I still have many small jobs I want to catch up on, so I am shunting my rotating schedule down a week and doing a repeat. I will add some new shortcuts, some new tab commands, and hopefully a clipboard URL watcher and a new way of adding OR search predicates.

Supreme Court Denies 'Making A Murderer' Appeal | Aliya Rockind Weighs In

On Monday, June 25th, Supreme Court decided not to take up Brendan Dassey’s case, who was made a star by Netflix’s popular documentary series “Making A Murderer”. I’ve watched the series twice actually, originally for pleasure and then again in my high school Forensic’s Science class. My teacher, Mrs. Fetsco, showed “Making A Murderer” once a week during class throughout the semester until we completed the series. The final for the class, an assignment worth 20% of our final grade, was to present our ‘verdict’ regarding the case in groups of 5, backing up our decision with specific pieces of evidence, analysis and reasoning with tactics taught to us in the classroom.

I already had my mind made up from that Dassey and other central figure Steven Avery were undoubtably innocent from my initial run-through of the Netflix series. Watching the show my second time around only pumped an exceeding amount of confidence into my beliefs, something that serves to be a very dangerous thing for us Rockinds. As my teacher announced our assigned groups I honestly felt a bit of sympathy between each named called along with mine, considering that I acted as though I had magically just aced the bar 5 minutes ago anytime the law was even briefly mentioned during school. A totally unprecedented sense of authority that I credited myself to, which now looking back on was self-entitled solely on the basis that I had only sometimes, somewhat paid attention to my dad’s work. Thinking about it, what’s I find even more ridiculous is that even the other students granted that credibility solely because of who my dad was, when in reality I didn’t know even know the meaning of the phrase “filing a motion”. But hey, everyone’s got perks in life, mine happen to be primarily useful in situations like my high school forensic’s science class. Don’t get me wrong, working with the people in this group wouldn’t exactly have been my first choice either as they initially doubted Dassey and Avery’s innocence. Now that I think about it… maybe I’ll look into applying for a job at Netflix after I post this considering it took me around 30 minutes to make the same point that they spent 10 years of production making. Eventually we all agreed that Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey were not guilty, becoming the official position of our project. We honestly thought the assignment was going to be extremely easy, however, as we developed our report aimed to prove their innocence, it became increasingly harder to stick to our position.

This project opened my eyes to the true power of manipulation through mass media. The majority of individuals who made a conclusion on the Avery/Dassey case solely based on “Making A Murderer” believe the two are completely innocent and were framed by the Manitowoc police department, just as I had originally. Now, I’m not saying that the two are guilty, rather just that Netflix does a very, very good job at not raising any doubts about their innocence. As my group and I did some research in an attempt to back up our point, we ended up finding out that Netflix actually leaves out quiet a bit of information that’s harmful towards Avery/Dassey and definitely questions their innocence.

Here’s a screenshot from Time Magazine’s article on left out evidence

According to Time, the creators of the show Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi said it would have been “just impossible” to include every fact in the series.

I just revisited my final project from high school, remembering that I had provided a list of all the information the TV show left out after hours of research. Here is that list

– During Dassey’s session with investigator Mike O’Kelley he agreed to taking a polygraph test. The official results of the test indicate he failed it.

– Leg irons and handcuffs were found in Avery’s residence and in Dassey’s

– The car key unearthed in Avery’s residence had DNA from his sweat on it, the prosecutor says

– Dassey’s mother said Dassey helped Avery clean his garage floor

– The previous animal cruelty case involved a bonfire

– Avery had drawn a torture chamber while in prison and was violent to other women

– Avery once opened his door “just wearing a towel” when Halbach went to his property previously

– Avery called Auto Trader to specifically request Halbach the day she died

– Avery called Halbach’s cell phone three times the day she was murdered, twice using the Star-67 feature to hide his identity

– Avery gave a false name when he called Auto Trader

– The burnt bone fragments were mixed with steel tire belts

– Avery’s rifle is forensically tied to the bullet with the Halbach’s DNA on it

It seems as though the only facts that the show didn’t have enough time for are one’s that hurt them. Although it is understandable that while not every fact needs to be included, every fact that needs to be included, needs to be. More specifically, the show didn’t just cut down the interrogation from hours into minutes, but it also left out crucial parts of Dassey’s confession.

Here is what was left out:

– Dassey admits to stabbing Halbach in the stomach after Avery took her out to the garage. He also claims that Avery fired five shots into Halbach’s head.

– He admits that the entire murder was premeditated. He said they had been planning it “for a few days.” Dassey claims Avery said he was going to kill her, and he wanted Dassey’s help.

– Avery picked Halbach because “she looked good and she was pretty nice.”

“Making A Murderer” was not just another popular TV show that people watched — it actually had a very strong influence on it’s audience, causing more than 128,000 people to sign a petition to the White House asking that the two be pardoned. The White House denied the request as the President does not have the power to pardon convicts from state courts.

Although I am very skeptical of the way the Manitowoc police department has generally treated the Avery family, specifically how they handled this case, it is reasonable to believe that after learning these pieces of left out information, I had developed a carefully manipulated disposition for the case from “Making A Murderer”. All in all, the fact the Supreme Court is not taking up Dassey’s case does not surprise me.

I often find the judicial system to be unjust, and I’m not eliminating that from Avery or Dassey’s case. I do find the interrogation to be extremely invasive, manipulating and just all around inappropriate. However considering the show’s impact on the case, heavily manipulated masses that have strong beliefs in their innocence, I do trust that the courts are handling this case very carefully. I’m sure the amount and type of publicity the two have received was a strong influence to the Judge’s. In other words, they are aware of what a majority of the people concerned with this case think and want, yet they have decided against those demands. I believe this is because as much as the courts are aware of what people want, I think they are aware that those wants are is only a result of the case being portrayed only in a certain light: that of which “Making A Murderer” illustrates.

Price for motorcycle insurance?

"Price for motorcycle insurance?

So my parents just bought my brother a brand new car and just told me that I wont be getting it til 3-4 years from now . and I'll be 20 something by then! I'm 16 turning 17 this year by the way. and it sucks even more because my other brother had received his car when he was 18, which is totally unfair because I have achieved more things than him, academic and community wise. So anyways, I've been wanting a motorcycle since I was a little girl and since I will be working this summer and winter, I was hoping on buying a used motorcycle, specifically any Kawasaki Ninja, at the beginning of 2010. Insurance price please? I know it ranges from age, experience, accidents, and etc. I'm a 16 year old female that will be getting her regular permit in June and after 6 months, I will be getting my motorcycle license.

So can I lie about my grades to the car insurance company?

So im 17 and getting my license in a couple of days. Apparently i need car insurance to drive by myself. Seeing as how my parentals want to pay less, they want as much discounts as possible (who doesnt?). So i kinda have like a 2.5 GPA and you need a 3.0 for the discount. So, im thinking i can get a report card, scan it and change the grades. When i do that, i just give it to whatever insurance company and they'll give me the discount. Sounds fool proof. Now, is it?

""Wrecked best friends car, no license, I'm uninsured, 18 and terrified! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!?""

So, I am 18, and yesterday my cousin was planned to come in from the UK at the Sky Harbor Airport in, Arizona. On my way there I was driving at a close speed limit of 50, speed limit was 45, approaching a red light, I was slowing down, when something abruptly ran across the road, close to the car, causing me to slam on the breaks, losing control of the wheel, and I tumbled 4 times over the street, busting the side window, scraping some paint, and cracking the windshield. Thankfully, I was not hurt, no neck, back, leg, or any body injuries for that matter. The police was near by, so helped me out, firefighters took care of me, to make sure I was okay. And then the report happened. I told them the honest truth, they said that I won't be arrested, or given a ticket, but I do have to go to court to prove I had no insurance. I don't know what to do, I know it was completely idiotic driving without a license, and no permit, with no insurance, but my friend has insurance on the car. I have the police report, and I don't know what I have to do, but I will help him with anything as this is my best friend, and I am not straying away from this situation.

If anyone could spare me the phone call, it would be greatly appreciated.""

Is their insurance for pregnant women?

Hi, I am about 30 weeks pregnant and very scared. I do not have ins at this time. I had a ppo a few months ago that did not cover anything! My bf (ridiculous we were not married) of 11 years just walked out on me and the kids for his selfish reasons. So he is no help besides paying the mortgage. Im not trying to get free insurance, I just need some help on what affordable insurance there are if any that will pick me up. I pay for my visits but im running low on cash. I am on bed rest for incompetent cervix and I am losing it trying to figure ways. I return to work 6 weeks after I have the little one but for now I have no job! Im at lost. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can pay monthly's but I know that delivery bill is gonna kick me in the butt. I just want to have a little security...""

Motorcycle Insurance costs amd monthly payments on a motorcycle for a 17 year old male?

Ok, I know you're just going to tell me that I need to have a car first or that I'm too young to have a motorcycle and I need experience and all that ****. But I'm 17 and I want a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (which I've been told is a great starter bike) I am a safe and cautious driver, if I get one I'll have a helmet, gloves, pants, jacket, boots, etc. I'll take a class for it (which is required in the state of Fl), I've also already had driver's ed last year and I may take another one. I'm th exact opposite of the douche bag teenager on a crotch rocket with no gear weaving in and out through taffic going 90mph in a 45mph zone. In the state of Fl legally you don't need insurance for a motorcycle but I'll have it anyways. I was thinking of maybe putting down $2-3000 and getting a loan for the rest. My mom said that with a load I have to have full comprehensive coverage because I don't own the bike yet. Can you give me an estimate of how much the insurance would cost for a 17 year old male with driving classes and gear and a 3.8GPA, and I'm only going to school to home or to school to work then home (I don't get out much because I don't have many friends) and I have State-Farm. Also how much do you think the monthly payments will be? I'm working on getting 2 jobs. Please and thank you. And please don't be a douche or try and shoot me down or whatever to make yourself feel better about yourself, just please answer my question to the fullest :)""

""Is a Porsche 944 good in the snow, cheap insurance, etc?""

Hi I really would like to buy a Porsche 944 but I am having trouble convincing my dad that it would be a good car for me. His main arguments are that it would not be good in the snow (I live in Upstate New York). I am willing to buy snow tires but I am not sure about what the ground clearance is on the 944. And he says that insurance would be very high for a teen. Also reliability, but the one I am looking at has only 84k miles on it. I am looking for helpful answers that go either way from expierenced people who have owned 944's. Thanks!""

""If I have an insurance plan that costs $900 a month, with a $50 co-pay, and $10000 deductable?""

how does that work when I go to the doctor? I just asked the same question, but I worded it all wrong, I think. So, I go to the doctor with strep throat and my co-pay is $50 and I have a $10000 deductable. How much will I actually pay? Logic tells me that with a deductable, like car insurance, I would pay for the entire office visit cost, since it would obviously be less than $10000. And a $25 co-pay for prescriptions! So, with that said, I would be paying a monthly payment of $900, the $50 co-pay, and the visit bill. I understand that insurance is for when really bad things happen, but geez. Is this really what people pay? We've been without insurance for 4 years and pay about $30 and office visit (by paying cash) and go to Publix and get $4 prescriptions. Please, someone expain this to me. Do you pay this expense simply because of the possibility of something bad happening?""

Simple Painless Test for Food Sensitivities

You may be suspecting food sensitivities. You have noticed that certain foods don’t agree with you, or you have symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, mood changes, sinus issues, or skin rashes like eczema. There may be other symptoms that you do not associate with foods. Here is a quiz you can take for yourself. https://www.foodintol.com/should-you-test-for-food-intolerance

Our modern farming practices, filled with pesticides and chemicals, have altered how the very DNA of many foods so that we are eating proteins and toxins that did exist previously. And they can cause many symptoms that you may not have associated with food sensitivities. But finding out your own sensitivities can make a world of difference. One of my patients visited five different dermatologists seeking treatment for the flaking skin all around her eyes. When I found that her daily yogurt was the cause, the flaking started to clear up in a couple of days.

These symptoms are unsightly and uncomfortable, but there may also be more serious immune problems with food sensitivity for some people. Long term food intolerances tax the immune system and may set up an internal environment that makes you more susceptible to auto-immune diseases, weight gain or a weakened immune system that is unable to handle serious challenges from bacteria and viruses. https://cellsciencesystems.com/education/research/inflammatory-symptoms-immune-system-and-food-intolerance-one-cause-many-symptoms/

Skin prick tests, where different types of food are tested on your skin, may give you false positives, meaning that you are not really allergic to the food tested. Blood work or IgG or IgE testing may not be accurate, either. Many people will show a reaction to a laundry list of foods, which can make dietary planning very difficult and eliminate more foods than are really necessary.

Allergy testing with blood may also produce a long list of foods to avoid, and can be expensive. So, I have been on the lookout for food sensitivity testing that is non-invasive, and reasonably priced. I just performed my own sensitivity test and was impressed with the results.

My test results paralleled the more costly blood testing I did a couple of years ago. And this new test revealed more items that made sense to me. This test also checks for non-food items that may be in your environment, and it checks for nutritional deficiencies. My test results indicated a lack of B12 and, based on what I know about my own digestion, that makes sense to me. B12 can only be absorbed when digestion is strong. You can also test for metal toxicity with this testing.

So, I am very excited to be able to offer this new Food Sensitivity test. If you are trying to lose weight, sleep better, handle digestive issues like gall bladder or intestinal symptoms, or improve skin, this could open some doors to understanding and more precise treatment. Because it is painless, it is easy to test kids. One of my colleagues is having great results helping people lose weight by avoiding the foods they are sensitive to.

It gets better! If you are wondering if you are missing vital nutrients, this test also identifies what vitamins and minerals you need to increase. This can be very important information that is hard to determine without expensive blood work.

And most people in the United States have exposure to toxic metals. If your levels are high, it is a concern because metals cause cellular damage. A program to eliminate metals can be done, giving cells a chance to heal and regenerate.

You can do this test at home, or it can be done in the office. A hair sample is collected and mailed to a lab and results are sent to me. We go over the results, with advice about any dietary changes, or supplements. You can retest down the road to see how those changes are making a difference. You should feel better and see the results, but sometimes changes in the body are occurring silently, and by the time we notice, damage has been done. Remember the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This gives us a peek inside the body in a non-invasive way. All you have to lose is a few strands of hair. And identifying metal toxicity, a food sensitivity, or lack of a nutrient might even help grow more hair if yours is thinning! https://www.verywell.com/allergy-related-causes-of-hair-loss-4060505

Email me at [email protected] or text to 818-863-6346 if you are interested in ordering the test or have questions.

Conversions Are for Closers: Using Conversion-Centered Design Principles to Inspire More Clicks

The campaign conversion path is often a long and windy trail that consists of your prospect having objections and you effectively countering them.

If you’ve done your job properly, your prospect will eventually end up at a crossroads: one path leads to a conversion and the other to the back button — or worse, your competitor.

Of course, we know which path you want them to take… but how can you make sure you’ve done everything possible to close the deal and make sure they take your desired path?

More importantly, how do make sure you earn your coffee?

Didn’t you know? Image via weknowmemes.

Conversion-Centered Design (CCD) is a framework for leveraging principles of persuasive design, copywriting, and psychology throughout the campaign process to nudge your visitors toward a conversion.

The CCD principle of Closing is about studying the area around your CTA, the design of your CTA and the copy you use to inspire a click.

There are several factors that influence the decision to click — some are positive some negative.

Negative influences

Negative influences include what I refer to as “stop words”: words, phrases or graphical elements that are placed in close proximity to your CTA which may create a moment of pause as your visitor contemplates their meaning.

Words such as “spam” in privacy statements below your CTA have been shown to decrease conversions because they plant a negative inference in the mind of your prospects right at the point of conversion, when they might otherwise not have been thinking that way.

Trust seals – especially when there are several banded together – are commonly used with the goal of increasing confidence, when in reality they can sometimes come across as desperate, causing reflection like “Why are they trying so hard to convince me of the security of this transaction? Is it not really secure or trustworthy?” More often, the key to a secure transaction is the presence of the lock icon in the address bar that denotes that the page uses a secure socket layer (SSL).

Psst: Did you know? All professional level Unbounce plans include SSL on custom domains. Start a free 30-day trial today and see the difference SSL makes on your conversion rates.

Positive influences

Examples of positive influences are statements that reduce anxiety at the point of conversion.

For instance, being explicit about how long it will take for a call back gives people a point of reference. “We’ll respond to your request within four hours” is much stronger than no statement at all. Placing this short statement either directly above or below your CTA will ease the anxiety at the perfect moment

For a webinar registration, mentioning that the session will be recorded eases the anxiety of not being able to attend, encouraging people to register anyway.

Button copy

Another critical part of the conversion equation is what you actually write on your buttons: your call to action.

At Unbounce, we’ve looked at our customers’ landing pages to learn more about the impact of different words and phrases in CTA copy. And some of the data is quite surprising…

The price of free

Contrary to popular belief, I’ve found in several A/B tests that the word “free” can have a negative influence on conversions.

I think in part this is because we are all becoming savvier about marketing practices. Giving your email to a company is a form of social currency and thus is not free. We understand that we’ll be marketed to via email — making the reference to “free” seem a little like a bait and switch.

On the microsite for our Landing Page Conversion Course (below), I used a Qualaroo survey widget to ask what was preventing people from starting the course. Two common answers were “How much does it cost?” and “I don’t know how much it is.”

Based on that feedback, I hypothesized that reiterating that the course was free in close proximity to the CTA would result in more conversions (clicks on the button).

I used my photo (as the author), and in a subtle way mentioned that the course was free.

The result of the A/B test?

For this test, I split the traffic 10/90. This was to accelerate the speed of the test based on knowing from historical data that the current champion consistently converted at 26%.

The new treatment lost by 14%.

What made this treatment lose? Was it my face? (I hope not.) Was it the word free?

This got me thinking about the power of the word “free.” We dug deep into our customer data and discovered the following impact of including the word “free” in a CTA (versus not mentioning it).

As you can see, across 20,000 landing pages, CTAs without the word “free” converted on average 16.8% better than those with the word “free.”

So if free doesn’t work… What does?

Data shown represents lead gen landing pages only (pages with a form).

The chart above illustrates some other words that are commonly used in CTA copy, and their effect on conversion.

As you can see, even a slight variation in button copy can affect conversion rates. But before you go changing your CTA copy, it’s important to note that these are average conversion changes based on aggregate data. Therefore, use the data to inform your A/B tests, not to make off-the-cuff changes.

After you close the deal

Think your job is done after you’ve snagged that conversion? Think again.

As a optimizer, you should think of what a possible next step could be, and design an experience to ask your new lead/customer to take that action.

This is where the CCD principle of Continuance comes in. Read on to learn more about Continuance or download a PDF of the entire CCD framework to read at your leisure.

I had an excellent and busy week catching up after E3. Duplicate better/worse/same relationships are now stored more logically and efficiently, and a variety of bugs are fixed. Maintenance is also easier to control.

duplicates

The second phase of the big duplicates rewrite is now done! Rather than the old system of trying to store better/worse relationships for every possible member of a duplicate group, which is very complicated, requires many human decisions, and is not very useful in practise, this new system instead lumps all duplicate files into a single group with a single 'king' representing the best file of that group.

The groups are transitive, so putting a file into a group with a better/worse/same command--or even merging a group into another--is now just a single action. Rather than comparing a file with every member of a group, it is now just merged as a simple member or the new king. The overall workflow of dealing with large duplicate groups is now much much faster. Furthermore, alternate relationships are stored between groups of duplicates, not individual files, so again the number of choices you need to make is automatically reduced as you process your normal duplicate filter queue.

Searching and managing duplicate file groups is also easier. When searching for system:num duplicate relationships, you simply search for how many 'duplicates' a file has, rather than how many better/worse/same. Right-clicking on a thumbnail to open up the 'file relationships' menu--which is now available to all users--now presents the same simple 'duplicates' count-and-show-in-a-new-page entry and will say whether the file is the best file of its group. If the file is not the best of its group, you can view that king or set the current one as king with one click.

Future updates will show king/not king status in the thumbnail UI. I will also write a new system search predicate to filter for king/not king.

Your existing better/worse/same data will be converted to the new system on update, with appropriate kings chosen. If in recent weeks you noticed some files that seemed to be both alternates and duplicates, this will now auto-resolve as the duplicates are merged together.

The new jpeg quality estimator, which will sometimes present 'high quality vs low quality'-style statements in the duplicate filter, now appears for all users. It isn't perfect, but it works ok.

The last phase of the rewrite will be to update potential pairs. It will reduce the potential pair queue count even further and improve the pair-elimination efficiency of the decisions presented in the filter (essentially by forcing king vs king comparisons). I want to take a week to do some smaller duplicates work (like commands to undo/dissolve existing relationships intelligently), so with luck I expect to have that done for 358. I am overall very pleased with the work here so far, although there is still a good amount to do, and some proper new help to write up.

the rest

I fixed the popup spam that the new clipboard watcher was falsely making on many non-matching URLs. It was some test code that was misfiring--even though the URLs were not being added since they were not matched, a higher part of the system thought they were not being added due to a problem with pages. I am sorry for the confusion--it is now fixed.

Also the unusual OS X shortcuts issue, where shortcuts were not working on some OS X installs until a menu was opened! This was due to a weird OS X specific problem in the recent main gui menubar detection code. If you are on OS X and notice your menubar stops updating, please let me know.

I put a bit of time into the maintenance code this week. Most maintenance jobs, like repository processing and thumbnail regeneration, now use the same 'clock' to figure out if they should be working. They now know if they are running in idle time or shutdown time or forced by the user, and will cancel out faster depending on the situation as needed. The other upshot of this is that the file menu now has a 'exit and force shutdown maintenance' option, and the shutdown splash finally has a 'stop shutdown maintenance' button! I regret that this took so long to come in--but now it is, and it works well!

You can now also force file maintenance from database->maintenance->file maintenance. It tells you if no work needs to be done.

full list

duplicates:

moved better/worse/same quality duplicates relationships to the new 'king' group-based model. rather than tracking every relationship, duplicates are now stored in groups with a single 'best' file

as a result, duplicate relationships are now transitive! saying that one king is duplicate to another will merge groups. the 'better' king is the new king, and 'same quality' kings choose one of the kings pseudorandomly. advanced exceptions: saying that a king is better than a basic member of another group or saying that two members are same quality is still valid but will simply 'poach' the non-king member from the other group in order to ensure the wrong king doesn't end up on top in the eventual merge. saying KingA is same quality as MemberB will merge the groups with KingB as the new king (since it is presumably same/better quality to all members of A)

the thumbnail right-click 'duplicates' entry is now renamed to 'file relationships' and is no longer advanced mode only. the 'find similar files' entry is folded into this

the thumbnail 'file relationships' menu now shows a simple 'duplicates' count rather than the old messy better/worse/equal. it will show all the members of a duplicates group when clicked. the menu also notes if the focused file is the best file of its group. if it is not, you will get the option to show the best file or make the focused file the best

as a result, it is now much simpler to view a group of duplicates and overrule a 'best quality' member as needed

added the 'media' shortcut 'duplicate_media_set_focused_king' to shortcut setting a 'best quality' file

the system:num duplicate relationships now has the simpler 'duplicates' entry, to search on size of the entire group. searching for kings/not kings will come soon

due to the new duplicate transitivity rules, potential pairs are now eliminated at a much faster rate!

setting duplicate relationships will overrule false positive or alternate relationships already in place

manually setting alternate relationships to more than two thumbnails at once will now set each file as alternate to every other file in the selection, completely eliminating potential pairs within the group. if you try to do this to large groups of files you will get a longer yes/no confirmation message just to make sure you aren't overwriting some potential dupes by accident

all existing better/worse/same relationships will be converted to the new group storage in this update, with appropriate kings determined. potential pair queue counts will be reduce accordingly, and the temporary alternate/duplicate confusion from the alternates update will be auto-resolved by merging truly duplicate 'alternates' together

fleshed out the duplicate test code significantly to handle the new dupe groups and their interactions with the recent false positive and alternates changes

refactored some db test code into separate client/server/duplicates files and cleaned up dupe tests readability

potential pairs are now the only component of the new system still on the old pairs system. the duplicate filter will still serve up some inefficient (i.e. non-king) comparisons

the rest:

fixed the issue where many clipboard-watcher-caught URLs that did not match were producing false-positive 'could not generate new page for that URL' error popups

the clipboard text-fetcher now tests against incompatible clipboard types (like a screenshot) better, and all instances of text fetching now report errors more gracefully and with more information

fixed the unusual OS X issue where many shortcuts were not being processed after client boot until the top menubar was opened and closed. a variety of other blocking-while-menubar-is-open issues that were false-positive misfiring are now fixed as well, please let me know if you still have trouble here

the file menu now has an 'exit and force shutdown maintenance' option to force-run outstanding maintenance jobs

when shutdown maintenance work is going on, the shutdown splash screen now has a 'stop shutdown maintenance' button!

cleaned up some file maintenance manager maintenance locking and shutdown cancel logic

moved all the idle-mode maintenance checks to a new system that explicitly defines idle/shutdown/forced maintenance work and tests those states in a unified manner, checking idle mode and the new splash cancel button status and so on more reliably. a lot of maintenance should cancel out quicker when appropriate

misc shutdown logic cleanup

added a 'file maintenance' option to the database->maintenance menu that forces the new file maintenance manager to run its queue. it'll make a little popup as it works, or a note that no work is due

the 'regenerate' thumbnail menu is also available to all users

jpeg quality estimates are now available for all users in the duplicate filter. they only display when the two jpegs' quality have different labels

the jpeg quality estimator now handles some unusual jpegs that load with empty quantization table arrays

the duplicate filter now handles bad jpeg quality estimations gracefully

cleaned up some ffmpeg communication code

the ffmpeg debug text that spawns on a help->about call that fails to discover ffmpeg version information now prints stderr output as well. if you have been hit by this, please give it another go and let me know what you get

the same ffmpeg 'no response' error on file parse now popups and prints some debug info and returns a better error

dialogs and windows on the new panel system now support a new pre-close tidying system

the manage tags dialog and window will now cancel any pending large tag autocomplete queries on close

regular gui pages now support a new pre-close tidying system

search pages will now cancel any pending search results loading or tag autocomplete queries on close

improved reliability of the popup message manager chasing the main gui when it is sent to another screen by a keyboard shortcut (such as shift+win+arrow on Windows). it should work now if the mouse cursor is in either window. please let me know if this causes trouble for virtual display navigation

the network engine now waits significantly longer--60s--on connection errors before trying again, and with every failed attempt will wait n times longer again. when in this waiting state, a manual user cancel command cancels it out faster

I believe I have fixed/improved a situation where media viewer hover windows would sometimes disappear immediately after appearing on some Linux window managers

improved hover window report mode to state more focus info in case the above is insufficient

to better link the two requests and consume bandwidth under strict rules more precisely, the override bandwidth rule that kicks in when a file page has a single file is now 3 seconds instead of 30

updated options->connection page to specify that 'socks4a'/'socks5h' is needed to force remote dns resolution

sped up tag parents initialisation

repositories now group tag sibling and parent petitions by the parent/better tag's namespace

removed some old network 'death time' code that is no longer useful and was interfering with heavy petition processing

the log now flushes itself to disk every 60s rather than 300s

misc fixes and cleanup

next week

This week was a crush, so I focused on the duplicates work and bug fixes and cleanup. I have a variety of small 'new stuff' jobs to catch up on next week. Some more shortcuts to add, some client api work, some quality of life like pasting tags into siblings/parents. And some smaller auxiliary duplicates work.

I enjoyed taking a week off, but I am glad to be back to work.
