The 12-inch Macbook you're referring to has a Core M-5Y31 processor, with a normal clock rate of 1.1GHz and up to 2.4GHz turbo (but it won't stay at 2.4GHz long.) It also has no discrete GPU, and the integrated GPU is also significantly slower to maintain thermal and power limits. The highest end Macbook has a slightly higher clock (1.2GHz, 2.6GHz turbo).

The Surface Book competes with the Macbook Pro, and the Core i5-6300U in the base model it has a normal clock rate of 2.4GHz, equal to the turbo of the base model Macbook. The thermal power limit is about three times as much, and the integrated GPU is newer, supports 4K displays, and has a higher clock rate than the turbo of the Macbook.

In no way is the Surface Book trying to compete with the Macbook.
As I understand it, the Fukushima plant was never designed or rated to sustain such a large earthquake or tsunami. If this understanding is correct, we should not have expected it to survive the damage, and the problems were not with the design, but perhaps with the specification (depending on whether you think this should have been foreseen).

It seems to be a common thread with all tragedies and disasters that people suffer from hindsight bias, and believe that this specific case should have been foreseen. It is not clear what the cost of building everything to sustain all similar low-probability events would be, and whether doing so would be statistical murder.
I agree with you but to provide some more context, some people seem to prefer the non-JSX approach. Here is a (random) example of what that looks like: https://github.com/littlebits/react-popover/blob/master/exam...
I'd be curious to see the percentage of migrants/refugees that are coming from war-torn regions such as Syria. My understanding is that many come from North Africa or elsewhere. Granted violence is also very high in these areas and the economic situation can be nearly as detrimental to quality of life.
Did not expect the results to be so positive. I'm curious how much of his business's success can be attributed to the publicity that this whole thing caused versus happier, more productive employees; but it's a pleasant surprise to see it's working out so well.

Definitely agree.

You've misunderstand the submission.

The quality of the evidence is very good - now we are sure that eating red meat and processed meat increases the risk of cancer, although that risk is still very small. We are now as sure of that as we are that smoking causes cancer, although the risks from smoking are very much greater.

The Ars head line is accurate. The second and third paragraphs are clear and easy to understand and accurate.

> Today, in a sizzling announcement, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) officially marked processed meat, such as bacon, hot dogs, and sausages, as “carcinogenic to humans,” a “group 1” designation. The agency, an arm of the World Health Organization, also classified red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, as “probably carcinogenic to humans,” a “group 2A” grade.

> (The group designations refer to the confidence health experts have in the link between the meats and cancer; it does not refer to the potency of the meats’ cancer-causing abilities.)
Can anyone explain that first Zillow chart? I see nothing that's specifically targeted to the Apple employee cohort.

Employees are part of that market as well. If there are two companies, one paying market wages, and one paying more, the employees will move to the second company. The second company now has a larger pool (and potentially better pool) of candidates to choose from than the first.

The first company may do better on margins per sale, but the second will have better quality/productivity per employee.

A Brief History of Communication and the Internet of Things
I can attest to this in the U.S. as well. I hang out with a pagan community that has a high percentage of people on food and cash assistance. They get so much money that they purchase holiday gifts with EBT (food stamps) and live almost solely on expensive branded snack food. Every person I've known on EBT has been gaming the system in some way - everything from getting roommates to sign off that rent is higher so they get more money and doing work under the table for cash and not reporting it, to wanting to get married but deciding not to because it would eliminate their benefits and turning down higher paying jobs because they know they need to keep low-wage, part-time jobs to keep benefits. Withdraw cash from a cash card to buy earrings, concert tickets and other luxuries - no problem! Until a couple years ago I didn't even know people were given debit cards with money on them from the government.

I had always thought that poor people bought generic products, had old TVs, couldn't afford cable, had old flip phones, etc. But it's the exact opposite. The poor people I know on welfare/assistance have much nicer things than the middle class people I know.

I believe that the system needs to be revised so only certain products can be purchased with government funds. It would help to keep the people using these services healthier as well.
Wages are set by the market, but two major market factors are revenue and how much money senior leadership want to keep in their own pockets. If he is okay making less and his company revenues are high enough to pay these salaries, then it will work indefinitely. The reason it wouldn't normally work is because management would never take a pay cut just to pay their employees more. All they'd do is increase personnel overhead across the board.

I watched Cowspiracy a while ago.
While many of its points are valid (as far as I can tell), I was personally distracted by the pseudo-conspiratorial subnarrative regarding the NGOs' focus on easier goals.

I felt the same about the storytelling in Cowspiracy as I did about many of Michael Moore's films: the "personal struggle"-style and an indignant narrator detracts from the main points, which could instead be more fleshed out in detail.

BUT: People don't ignore the points these two documentaries bring up because they haven't heard them; they do it because they are able to (and it's very easy and convenient to do so at present).

Starting a family isn't rocket science. Look at the world around you. It's amazing. And it was built by people whose parents didn't wear them around in a pouch until they were five, who fed them formula, who didn't eat a bunch of fish oil while pregnant, and who (gasp!) smoked or drank during pregnancy.

Parenting science is like nutrition science. Lots of studies, little consensus. Just ignore it.
The incentives in this model are bad. I like no management fees and no carry, but Onevest's incentives aren't aligned with the investors. Onevest gets paid 7.5% of the money raised, so they don't care how the companies do after the raise.

> I guess nobody cares. Oh nobody cares either about people that are educated and can't get working visa because EU bureaucracy.

This. The elephant in the room. It is insanely difficult to migrate legally to most European countries.

I would say something else to the people that encourage others to basically enter Europe illegally to go to Germany.

There are people, in refugee camps, in Lebanon or Turkey, that want to follow the law and apply for asylum while staying in these camps( because that's how it is supposed to work at first place, applying for asylum in the first safe country).

What about them ? So people who break the law and cross multiple European countries illegally are welcome, but those who want to respect refugee laws by staying in camps until their status is cleared will be rejected because too many coming to Europe already and all sits are taken? That doesn't sound fair at all.

This whole debacle is hypocrite on so many level, I will never support anyone who agree with it. You're not helping those who are in greatest need to be helped ( women,children, it's obvious they are not the majority of the people walking across Europe right now).

Care.com is doing similiar things with housekeeping services, although they started with matching child care providers to parents and seem to just be expanding into new verticles -- housekeeping, pet watching, etc. I think it's a good strategy.

When I began my career in software over a decade ago, dress shirts and pants was typical attire in my area. And that's what I wore. Occasionally someone would wear something a bit more casual, and occasionally I would too. Eventually I got to the point of wearing t-shirts and jeans frequently.

As far as I am concerned, as far as the people I work with are concerned, as far as the company is concerned, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But yet, I was increasingly feeling ... slobbish. Like, "this is my career, this is what I do for a living, this is what I went to college for and continually read books to learn about... is this really how I want to dress?"

So I started dressing up a bit here and there. Felt silly at times, but no-one said anything. Today I'm wearing a suit-style vest and a tie. Walking in the hallways I feel conspicuously out of place, but back at my desk, I feel better about myself. I feel like I'm taking what I do more seriously. Am I really taking it more seriously? Hard to say. I think perhaps.

I don't care what you wear, and I hope the feeling is mutual. For myself, I'm kind of liking dressing up again. I don't feel that I'm conforming to any social demands or artificial constructs of what is proper; if anything, I am now going against them.
The WHO report tells us that the quality of the evidence is very good, which is why red meat and processed red meat have this new classification.

It doesn't talk about how strong the cancer-causing effects of red meat and processed meat are. They are nothing like as risky as cigarettes. We know that cigarettes are very harmful.
The term "processed food" seems so overloaded that it's largely pointless.

Nevertheless, this page seems to explain its popular usage well, while adding some much needed sanity:

Really like this as a React dev. Recently there is a trend to use inline CSS to do CSS modularization in React, but I feel it's not really a clean approach. With Shadow DOM you can mount the whole React App onto a Shadow root and have perfect CSS encapsulation. Hopefully we can see Shadow DOM supported by major vendors' stable channel soon.

They didn't address the confounding variable that these disorders are caused by dopaminergic issues, which are present even before becoming floridly psychotic.
High levels of dopamine = low levels of arousal, so the slight elevation caused by tobacco smoking is probably pretty appealing.

Only first person experience, here, but I can say antipsychotics (which are dopamine-receptor antagonists... hence the "thorazine shuffle") cause these bouts of sedation that are made much less uncomfortable by simply having a smoke.

"What if Congress had accepted the recommendation? Hardened cockpits would have made impossible the 9/11 attacks in the form they took. If so, instead of being grateful to the Gore commission, we today might well mock hardened cockpit doors as a classic example of government waste—of looking in the wrong directions for threats that never came. The better security works, the less we appreciate the need for it. The more effectively we are protected against harm, the less gratitude we feel to our protectors."

This argument would be much better settled if these were the measures adopted. Instead we get the TSA. Regulations like "don't open cockpit doors" or "make things bullet and knife proof" are much less intrusive and freedom-protecting than the TSA or other behavioral traps.

This is one of the bizarre aspects of VC that is bad for the economy as a whole. A regular business that is aiming for profit must be careful about how much it spends on customer acquisition. A VC-backed business that is aiming for "unicorn" growth must spend whatever is necessary, even if it's not sustainable. And the collateral damage is that traditionally profitable businesses (in this case, non-app-ified home cleaners) are priced out of the market.

Shadow DOM is not the solution for CSS isolation for components. You'd have to mount every single component into its own shadow DOM which seems unnecessarily complex (and most likely has significant perf implications).

> The Fukushima accident was preventable, if international best practices and standards had been followed, if there had been international reviews, and had common sense prevailed in the interpretation of pre-existing geological and hydrodynamic findings.

I think the main point is that the damage wasn't caused by a freak storm that no one could have predicted. It was caused by a series of mistakes that we shouldn't have made with the knowledge we had at the time.

That is illegal and a violation of treaty obligations on Germany's part if the countries you're talking about are part of the European Union (EU), or the European Economic Area (EEA).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_for_worker...

You don't need a work visa or any sort of permission from the German government to reside and work in Germany, if you are a EU citizen or a citizen of an EEA member. It is a right.

It makes no sense because it doesn't fit your needs. If you want a tablet you can hold all day long and switch to a "laptop" for a few hours, SP4 makes sense.

If you want a laptop but for a few hours a day, you'd want a light tablet to read or do research on, Surface Book makes more sense and the clipboard is much lighter than the SP4 as well. In addition, you can rotate it around while attached to the base to use it as a drawing surface as needed.

SB/SP4 strikes a difference balance for different people. For me, I use my tablet as a content consumption device all day long and rarely type, so SP4 makes more sense than SB for me.

Hmmm I disagree. Many of the current CSGO pros using 4:3 AR came from CS 1.6 and I think they just never felt like changing. There's no competitive advantage to it. If anything it's a FOV loss and thus a slight disadvantage but it's so minor as to not matter most of the time.
I'm not in a suit, but I'm in a dress shirt, vest, and trilby most every day. I stick out amongst the hoodies and sweatshirts around me, but I've never felt any reaction more malicious than confusion.

Originally I picked this style to see if an orderly fashion imposed any kind of order upon my mind. (that was about 5 years ago, give or take a year) If so, I've not been able to discern it. I did, however, enjoy feeling a little different, and over the years as my middle-aged gut expands, I find the vest far more slimming than a Tshirt.

This leaves me in the position of being a touch conformistly counter culture AND fat. Ah well.
The linked explanation seems to be that if you do the probability wrong in a certain way, you come up with something below 50%.

Here's one way to reproduce the 40% number they get in the paper. Take a sequence of four flips. Consider five cases:

1. 0 heads. Probability of head following a head=0

2. 1 head. Probability of head following a head=0

3. 2 heads. Probability of head following a head = 1/3

4. 3 heads. Probability of head following a head = 2/3

5. 4 heads. Probability of head following a head = 1

Now if those five cases were equally likely, then what would be the expected number of heads following a head?

Answer: (0 + 0 + 1/3 + 2/3 + 1)/5 = 0.4

Is this what they assume gamblers are using for 'empirical probability'? I can't tell.
