Exactly. I mean there are basic things for which you shouldn't have to hunt models. Anything with the basic size, shape and weight should have the standard ports and connectors I am guessing they are cheap enough. Having to shop for a different line of laptop for want of 2 USB 3 port is ridiculous. This is a made up example but you get the meaning.

What I think can be reasonable price points for laptop

Basic build vs. premium construction (Non-plastic super rigid maybe)
Weight (regular vs ultra light)
Ports, keyboard, touchpad should be standard I think. Maybe premium ones might have the latest techs but nothing should be atrocious.
The next bit should be priced based off whats chosen but really most cpu, ram, storage, display should be available on all model. You might restrict the premium to some high end configuration but even on a non-premium build you should be able to get high end display for most part.

What you shouldn't end up is having a $1400 vs. $1500 line of products where the $1400 has got better ports or display option then the $1500 laptop.
> Sure you can. I can quit claim my house over to you with no regulations impacting me at all... if you think that it is illegal to bypass the processes, then you are too caught up in the processes.

You're talking about something totally different than I am here. Selling your own home is a distinct concern from facilitating others in the sale of their home in exchange for payment. The latter cannot be done without following state licensing regulations, which is what I'm talking about above.
Which is then going beyond just using scrypt on the client. What you explain is simply challenge-response authentication.
It's an auction run by the Fed, for the Fed. The US Fed asks 'everyone line up in order of willingness to give us cheap interest rates for 3 months.' They then walk down the line, borrowing money from everyone till the borrow the amount they wanted, and agree to pay everyone interest at the rate the last person they borrowed from was asking for. In this case, enough people bid zero that all lenders are getting zero.

Banks don't get this zero percent rate. And the government itself can't get a zero percent rate for unlimited amounts, even if the debt ceiling weren't a thing; eventually the Fed's line up of lenders runs out of people willing to lend at zero percent interest.

It is probable. I can't find perfect specifications, but the dimensions of the Pro 3 and Pro 4 are very similar. Lining up the machines visually, as shown in the image linked below, indicates that the dock port is in the same place and is the same size. That's by no means proof but it's not ruled out. The USB and DisplayPort certainly change by comparison.

I have ~20 Surface Pro 3's in production so I am very interested in this answer.

It's not clear that congress can force a default through the Debt ceiling making it a meaningless political football.

It could actively decide to default, but hitting the debt cap would likely just force a government shutdown due to cash flow issues unless the cash flow problems got insanely bad.

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood what you meant. You can definitely offer limited services and advertising. You just have to be very careful not to engage in any activities the state might construe as creating an agency relationship, or that are specifically reserved for licensed agents.
The bigger problem is that blog posts (usually) don't give you context for their advice. In some cases (eg. trying out a throwaway prototype to determine if Twitter is appropriate for your product), putting Twitter config in a global variable is perfectly appropriate. In others, it'll break production code. Unless the author is very careful to explain the particular situation where he did this and why, it's likely that you'll draw the wrong conclusion for your particular use-case.
He keeps talking about how this is going to prevent malicious employees from getting at your data or sharing it with the NSA. It's not. Facebook, Google, and every other website you use will still have unencrypted access to all of the information you give them on their servers. The only thing this would keep them from having is the password you use to protect that other stuff they already have access to anyway.

Just because you test one sub-system to a degree doesn't mean you are going to casually allow the possibility of damage to the engines or aircraft.

At that point masterleep's comment is not quite so far out as you claim it is. On the surface, it's wrong, and yet in terms of the long-term dynamics that never actually get addressed, there's a definite point there.

The "fuel in the tank" (resource discoveries) has _not_ been increasing. Coal discoveries peaked early in the 20th century if not before, and if you follow BP's annual energy review, the actual coal reserves have declined markedly since the 1990s (decadal estimates are given).

Globally, oil discoveries peaked in the 1960s. Estimates of recoverable reserves have increased with both rising costs and (relatively modest) technological improvements, but that's a matter of increasing the ability to suck from the tank, not increasing its size or refilling it. Natural gas follows a similar trajectory.

And recall just what it is that "oil prices" (or energy prices generally) means: that's the sacrificed resources necessary to provide a unit of oil, or coal, or gas. And it can be directly compared to the economic benefit of that unit.

For the US, a barrel of oil returns somewhat more than $1,000 in GDP. In most of the EU it's closer to $1500, peaking at $3,000 in Switzerland. For the "emerging growth economies" of India and China, it's closer to $450-500 GDP/bbl.

This means that at $40/bbl, the US sees a 50x economic surplus per barrel of oil, but only a 10x surplus at $100. For China and India, it's 10x at $40/bbl, and 4x at $100/bbl. That means a lot of marginal economic activity is shunted aside as energy costs rise. Demand destruction, as it were.

In light of the fact that much US and EU productivity is really outsourced resource consumption to India and China, this is hugely significant.

Peak petrol absolutely did happen in the United States, in 1972, with the immediate result that once the US no longer had the ability to provide reserve supplies from excess capacity, it was at the mercy of whomever else had their hands on that tap. For over 40 years, the Texas Railroad Commission had controlled US petroleum extraction rates, and hence global petroleum prices. In 1974, OPEC asssumed that role, with drastic effect. It wasn't that "the world ran out of oil", but the US could no longer assure the supply.

Things balanced out somewhat in the 1980s and 1990s (North Sea oil, Alaskan North Slope, offshore Gulf of Mexico, Mexican and Brazilian finds, an "understanding among friends" between the US and Saudi Arabia). But it's not as if another 500 million years of oil were magickally returned to the ground.

>For civil penalties in excess of the dollar limitation on FAA’s assessment authority (for other than hazardous materials violations), the FAA has authority to compromise a penalty. This type of action is initiated when the FAA sends a civil penalty letter to an entity. The letter advises that the FAA believes the entity has violated a statute or regulation. The letter also states that the FAA is willing to accept a penalty of a specified amount in resolution of the matter.

If I understand the process correctly, this is essentially a settlement offer. The FAA is suggesting that the company pay $1.9 million for its misdeeds; if the FAA and SkyPan can't come up with a compromise, it gets handed over to the US attorney's office.
Many gyms already have QR codes on their routes and several climbing sites accept them as part of entering your routes and discussing them.

I wanted BIG so I got a 40" Samsung (over-functional) "Smart" LED TV, and run it (thanks to SwitchResX) at its native 3840x2160, HiDPI scaled to 1080P.

(My (late 2013 MBP 15" Retina) system won't drive it in native resolution at anything other than the scaled 1080P or the full 3840x2160, which is way too small.)

1920x1080 might not seem like enough logical real estate compared to the 5K monitors, but what I figured out is that, with Retina scaling operational, I can scale down the contents of various apps like browsers, text editors, terminals, etc., and get just the right font size for my tired old eyes at still very high DPI.

Yes, the UI elements are pretty big, but they don't take up much real estate.

And, yes, I'd rather that I have the OS give me the option of running at virtual resolutions other than 1920 or 3840 (there's something wrong with the drivers or the way the Samsung is talking to the OS--the latter thinks the native resolution is 7K somehow), but if you need BIG, this is a great solution.

I've actually used it a lot as a sort of "sane" scripting engine that I could include with other software to deal with various configuration tasks that would be too painful in DOS batch or (somewhat less painfully) bash.

So it has gotten used a lot around the edges of other software that I've written in C# or as part of config steps in InnoSetup.

It's a great tool for random little messy bits that need to be done where you don't want to deal with installing something larger.

I'm a fan of Mazda. Your analogy would make more sense if instead of Mazda offering a choice of compact (Mazda 3), sedan (Mazda 6), or sports car (Mazda Miata), instead Mazda decided to build a lineup of:

* Mazda6L (Our most green Mazda 6)
* Mazda6 Yoga (Our Mazda 6 that transforms into a Miata)
* Mazda6W (Our power version)
* Mazda6T (Our version which includes more gizmos)
* Mazda6X (Our version which includes even more gizmos)
* Mazda6 Helix (Our version that's like our Yoga but different)
* Mazda611E (Our rugged version for teenagers who are careless)

.. and then within each type, have specific models like Mazda6T 554p, Mazda6T 440s, etc.

.. and then allowing you to further customize each Mazda6 model down to the finest detail.

...and then repeat for each type of car in their lineup (Mazda3, Miata, SUVs, etc).

Yes, if this were the case then I would have a very hard time buying a car! :)
