Also, there are two kinds of starvation: in one case the quantity of food is insufficient, in the other its quality is. Eating fries with soda in great quantity every day could still starve a growing kid.

Maybe that's the goal? To discourage the return of merchandise? They think customers rather write off the loss, than waste half an hour.

> Thus, we anticipate that our results and conclusions are valid for a broad class of systems and may open routes to many future enterprises including the structuring of fluids, the visualization of chemical traces, the assembling of functional objects like actuators or drug carriers, information storage, and numerous artistical applications. Finally, our results could also be used to prepare desired initial states for future colloid experiments, e.g., on collective diffusion. Drawing fine lines, durable patterns, and individual letters into water was only the first step.

BTW, this is the first result on DuckDuckGo. (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qtr+company+canada)

Is it time to switch? ;)

    Q: What if I can (significantly) beat the current record?

    A: In this case, submit your code and win the award and/or copyright your code and/or patent your ideas. You should be able to monetize your invention beyond the HKCP. This happened to the first winner, a Russian/Ukrainian who always had to cycle 8km to a friend to test his code because he did not even have a suitable computer, and who now has a lucrative job at QTR in Canada.

> more than once I was approached by people who wanted me to help implement their projects. But I have always refused just because I think I'm not good enough. [...] have you ever done that?

Absolutely. I'd say that 90% of the time that I've been offered consulting work, I've turned it down because I know it would require some skills -- web design, graphics, SQL, linux, ruby, C++, etc. -- which I know I don't have.

I have a reputation for being very good at what I do, and it is certainly true that there are some things I am very good at... but a large part of that is that I don't do the things which I'm not very good at.

> how do you deal with self-doubt?

If you're a generalist, there's almost certainly going to be someone else who is a better generalist than you. If you specialize, it's not hard to find a niche in which you are one of the leading experts in the world -- because the group you're being compared against is losing the 99.9999% of people who never looked at that particular niche. So I'd recommend looking for a niche; because once you're the world's leading expert on something, it's pretty hard to doubt your competence in that area.

> In 1939, a misunderstanding brought about surprising results. Near the beginning of a class, Professor Neyman wrote two problems on the blackboard. Dantzig arrived late and assumed that they were a homework assignment. According to Dantzig, they "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but a few days later he handed in completed solutions for both problems, still believing that they were an assignment that was overdue. Six weeks later, an excited Neyman eagerly told him that the "homework" problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved problems in statistics. He had prepared one of Dantzig's solutions for publication in a mathematical journal. This story began to spread and was used as a motivational lesson demonstrating the power of positive thinking. Over time, some facts were altered, but the basic story persisted in the form of an urban legend and as an introductory scene in the movie Good Will Hunting.

The child porn traffickers and other problematic users are all on Tor already. With the growing number of users their proportion will only decline.

Let me break it down for you:

>> I would need someone to help me verify that sound works.

>> but why? I don't hear so why?
