I have come to appreciate the wisdom of the Virginia governor's term-limiting system -- you can hold office as many times as you want, but you cannot succeed yourself.

Voters can restore someone to office, but each term must stand alone, avoiding the, "What does every first-term President want? A second term." problem.

Came here to suggest the function that is 1 on the rationals and 0 on the irrationals.

My approach: import unsharpened image from Darktable, scale down with NoHalo (added in GIMP 2.10, along with LoHalo), sharpen final image with unsharp mask. When downscaling a clean image, try 1-pixel radius, strength 0.35, threshold 0.05 as a starting point.

"None" interpolation is occasionally useful as well, in image with really striking edges.

Agreed that the older downscaling algorithms aren't great. My impression is that they do a nice mathematical job of downscaling, but not a great perceptual one.

Kroger is trialing meal kits. CEO sounded positive on the quarterly phone call.

Edit: Disclosure -- I own a small amount of Kroger stock.

The idea of indexing doesn't require a specific index. It is more general than that. The idea that average returns are pretty good, and average returns with low cost-of-management are even better.

In order to get average returns, the key is simply to own a tiny fraction of the entire market, whatever "market" means to you. The focus has long been on the S&P simply because it has historically done a pretty good job of representing the US equities market, it is market-cap weighted (unlike the Dow), and the earliest index funds tracked the S&P.

It's my expectation, stated without proof, that it should be easy to find a comparable index in Europe, if you want to match the average European return.

Between $1 and $1000.

How do I collect?

Erm, can't edit thanks to noprocrast -- "As Reddit users" would be more correct.

A clever idea. People are wondering why such a thing might be useful, so let me advance a theory:

Latency.

Suppose you have a bunch of people somewhere, say, the US, and a bunch of other people somewhere else, say, China, and there's an ocean in between. If they need to work collaboratively on something, placing a datacenter in one country or the other yields asymmetric latency; someone has a lot more.

If you can just plop a datacenter exactly at the midpoint, everyone wins. It needn't be the biggest datacenter ever, just one that can handle the latency-sensitive tasks.

Neat project.

Footnote 20 is wonderful.

The linear scale on your first plot undersells your accomplishment. The two red pixels, if calibrated by the 4,000,000 users at left, correspond to 25,000 support staff. It sounds like there's only you.

A logarithmic scale, like this: https://flic.kr/p/nyf11i shows off your feat more-completely.

Thank you for making Trello. It's made my life more organized and efficient.
