I've had this on every metal-chassis Mac I've ever owned. The chassis typically floats around 50V AC at 50Hz (in the UK, at least) - making it noticeably vibrate and tingle when you touch it, especially with the palm of your hands when typing. It also seems to make RSI worse.

The solution, as everyone's pointed out, is to ensure you are correctly grounded.

Fun fact: mirrors don't reverse anything. Easily proven, raise your right hand while looking in the mirror. The hand in the right side goes up. No reversal.

What's gets reversed is when an observer looks at you. Since an observer is facing the opposite direction, his left side is aligned with your right side.

Alternate view: if a mirror really did reverse left from right, why don't they reverse top from bottom as well? Because they don't reverse anything. On the other hand, if an observer were turned upside down, you'd appear upside down to him.
I predict that Trump will actually be very popular and win 2020 in a landslide. The things that Trump campaigned on aren't necessarily the things that he actually needs to do to be successful.
Spot on. We need new media with more diverse viewpoints and more viewers for this new content. Why does every airport always have CNN on by default?
>>A single one of my college friends still lives in the same city as me. On the far other side, about 8km away.

That's only 5 miles, which is nothing. Most people in the Netherlands have bikes, right? 5 miles should take about half an hour via bike.

Not to mention public transport. I've been to Amsterdam many times, and it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to get around using bus or tram...

I take it you've never met a cow, horse, pig, chicken or tame deer. Most animals will befriend humans if you are patient enough.
I second this, but I prefer to go for jogs instead. Then again, I've recently started to enjoy exercise for itself and I feel that I'm much calmer in my head when jogging or walking than when I'm sitting still. So maybe its just a product of being calm so you can think about the problem in a less stressful environment.

Maybe that's why so many people say that meditation helps. Personally I prefer exercise though.
There is no reason to believe that harsh prison systems are representative of the will of the people. In the 1990s, three strikes laws in California were enacted by public referendum. The margin was 3-1. 75% of people voted to put people in prison for life for three felonies--and they didn't even have to be violent felonies. And it was one of the most liberal states in the country!

I noticed the vibrations while charging in France and Germany with my American iPhone and MBP, but just chalked it up to my universal power adapters being not 100% native.

Reading jordwest's 60Hz comment, it seems to do with grounding. So do MBPs and iPhones purchased in Europe still experience this issue if the apartment isn't grounded properly?

Because the amount available per prisioner per day is so low that a non-profit prison could not do much better. It is not like the for-profit prisions are running on profit margins of 50%.
I don't see how you can have a humane prison not be a criminal university. I mean, in the old days, they would just throw you in cell and leave you there for years. Your meals would come in through a slot in the door and you would poop and pee in a pot. No face-to-face interaction with other prisoners. No shared cells. No recreational time in open areas where you can form cliques. The only communication that happened between prisoners was via tapping or other coded acoustics.

Allowing prisoners to interact face to face in open and closed environments is going to introduce these extra complexities of prisoners "poisoning" other prisoners.
Smart indeed works as a minimal car. It has become quite popular as a secondary car where I live (EU) when an additional parking place is a concern, but it definitely is not appealing as a primary car.

Manual transmission is the norm here anyway and crank windows are just an annoyance, but AC is possibly better for your health than open windows when used carefully.

"research shows that gun owners and their families are far, far more likely to be injured or killed by said firearm"

I take it that you've never read such research yourself; that's a gross misinterpretation (the "said firearm" qualifier is outright false).

You are probably connected to poorly grounded socket or a socket where hot and ground were switched.

I had a grounding issue and I used to get shocked by my tower all the time, this is pretty common.
> In the US the NEC requires this. If you bother to look inside your breaker panel you will find the neutral and ground wires are literally screwed down to the same bus bar.

It could be different in US, but in modern European installations the PE and N bars are separate; older installations use common PEN; and even older ones don't even have PE. Each of the wiring schemes requires different approach and poses different hazards. There's no single recipe that would work on all of them.

My bottom line is: don't make arbitrary connections in the breaker box without proper knowledge and training; and don't give random electrical advice on the internet without knowledge of local codes.
Test the outlet for proper wiring. If you're in the US, buy one of these: (there are similar models for use in other countries)

If this says good (two amber lights) and you're still getting shocked, follow up with a voltmeter and/or qualified electrician.

I come from a lower-middle-class family in Kolkata, and I can say from experience that a lot of older people (my parents!) are over the moon with the whole thing. My mother, in particular, has suddenly turned into some sort of Modi fangirl, saying stuff like, "See what he's doing for the country!" (and variations on that). At some level, it's just the fact that anyone who replaces years of (perceived?) inaction with something striking -- however naive, or well-intentioned-albeit-disastrous-in-the-long-run -- will elicit this kind of reaction.

I imagine for people like my parents, the cost of going to a bank and getting all their suddenly-demonetised banknotes exchanged (which we anyway had very little of) isn't too much. And when some restaurant, say, or a drugstore, is unwilling to accept one of the new 2000-rupee notes, we have credit/debit cards to fall back on. The fact that that people may not have Aadhaar[1] cards or voter ID cards stored safely somewhere, that not everyone has bank accounts which hold >99% (excuse the arbitrary figure) of the money they have, that not everyone has the ability to spend what might possibly be the better part of a day walking to $DEITY knows where the nearest bank is (probably to be turned away because they're out of cash or because the line is a kilometre too long) -- that the very act of going to a bank may not be as trivial or no-brainer-like to everyone as it is to oneself! -- is something we have to work very hard to even imagine. And the cash they have stored is, in many cases, all they have. (Remember what I said about not having a bank account?)

Cash, for us, is what we use for bags of chips and ice-cream and sheets of graph paper and ... bus fare, I guess? Cash, to someone living from day to day, is everything.

I knew a guy in college who rented a house that didn't have any outlets with a ground plug.

This became such a problem, he made his own ground by using a big metal pipe outside the house that was already deep in the earth, and running a wire from it to where he kept all his equipment.

Then he used stuff like in that picture to make sure he could ground all his equipment.
I've long suspected CNN pays airports for this.
My initial gut reaction is/was, a costly political stunt to fullfill an election promise. But I will wait when we have figures about cost to economy vs additional tax revenue.
It also should be taken into account that Rupee now is even more unlikely to become a global currency.

Instead of money going directly to corrupt bureaucrats now it will directly going to politicians to be spent on unsustainable welfare (subsidies/reservations/PSUs) which would get them even more votes clamouring for more welfare. Ah dont you fking cry when they up the sales tax 200% on your favourite gadgets in the name of the poors. All thanks to this cashless/surveillance there will be no escape.
Doesn't this already exist? especially for hardware? I remember a few years ago I needed some LED name tags and on some Chinese site I just asked for quotes for LED name tags... even today i get quotes from sellers for the same :P
When I was a kid, the 1992 Big Bear Landers earthquake hit in Southern California. That was a 7.6 if I recall. So I can relate to what those in NZ are feeling. Our rock chimney collapsed and fell off the house, nearly crushing my mom who was outside at the time.
Personally I prefer sign in over log in. Partially because to sign seems to carry a stronger connection to the intended meaning, to authenticate, than to log does.
Ouch, yeah, Santander. Worst bank in the UK. Everyone I know who uses them has had some really terrible experiences.
I have tried it out for various things but the one I rely on most is "call and leave a message then get that message emailed to me" I ONLY use this feature for logging my work tasks and client visits throughout the day. Basically I always forget to record my time spent at various locations or when I do extra work outside of scheduled hours. I have ifttt as a contact in my phone named Bender. When I'm in my car going to/from client visits I can tell my phone "Call Bender" and I tell Bender what I'm up to, and anything I might want to note about times, mileage, etc. Hugely useful fallback for me so that at the end of the month I search my email for "voice memo" and I can process everything I haven't already captured. Especially when I have to run around putting out fires in multiple places I can easily forget exactly what I did and in what order.
I have a mid 2015 13" MacBook Pro and I've measured up to 48v off the chassis between ground on properly wired circuits. I began investigating this after getting mild shocks after working out (sweaty) and while working on the MacBook in my lap while working on a PC laptop on my desk which also has an aluminum chassis. I tried an isolation transformer and the issue disappeared. I contacted Apple about it but crickets. I then did some current measurements and it was very low and of no concern at that voltage so I decided not to push the issue. As other have said, the solution is to use the three pronged cord that came with the power brick.

You can feel this effect for yourself by using the two pronged plug and finding something grounded to the chassis to touch. With one hand, hold the grounded item while moving the palm of your other hand around the backside of the led. It's a bit dependent on the conductivity of your hands but I've found most people can feel it, even my dad who's a farmer and has very dry hands. Remember, if you get electrocuted, it's not my fault, it's Apple's. They have much deeper pockets than me.
Not necessarily. It is never a good premise to expect good faith from politicians.
The socket isn't grounded the laptop on your desk and you are, so you get socked, I had the same thing with my tower case when I moved a flat I discovered that the socket I was using had the ground and hot terminals switched.

This is a common problem, the power cable from the power adapter to your laptop is also usually connected to ground, if the ground is hot then you get shocked.
Well, that explains it. Just last week my son was complaining that he was getting tiny shocks from the chassis of his Macbook. I thought he was just making excuses to not do his homework and told him to stop imagining it.

Time to buy a 3 pin adapter!
It should be noted that the CA three strikes law was also weakened to only encompass "serious" or violent felonies in 2012 - also by public referendum.
I know at least two 500TB+ clusters running on IaaS and don't think "only way to scale Ceph" is to buy and rack machines.

In an earlier comment you said EBS only goes to 16TB and that is "an order of magnitude less" than your requirement, however, thats per volume, you can attach many volumes in much the same way as servers have many disks.

Scale horizontally not vertically, add more OSD instances? With each you can attach a number of EBS or PD volumes which each IOPS characteristics that in aggregate are sufficient to service your workload?

If you want to avoid EBS or PD entirely, is there a reason you can't look at 'i2' or 'd2' instance types?

At a fundamental level you're just moving the problem and trading managing metal (which is hard) for I/O guarantees.

"Why is this harder than you might expect?" - you stated elsewhere that you'll have Remote Hands do rack/stack. Providers like Equinix refer to this as "Smart Hands". Everyone who's managed a reasonable-sized environment finds this term highly ironic, as the technician can and will replace the wrong drive, pull the wrong cable, etc.

Best laptop for Hololens development?
I got my developer kit for the Hololens recently and am super excited about it (https://www.facebook.com/1RICcom/videos/1428091367208928/). I have all intentions of making this my focus over the next few years. The problem is that I'm really married to the Apple eco system as an ex iPhone developer.

So the first thing I need is a PC running Windows 10. I've decided against a desktop since I travel way too much and switch between countries frequently. I want to ask people who're used to working with Unity on Windows if they have any recommendations. I've been thinking about around $1200 for a laptop and $300 for a monitor but I can also consider $1500 for a laptop with a great screen. VR ready gaming laptops? What do you guys say? Any suggestions?

Our governments make extensive plans to deal with these situations

Really? Look how long it's taken multiple layers of government (especially the Federal government) to deal with the Flint water crisis or the Animas river disaster... despite having no disaster-introduced transportation or resource barriers.

No.

Most laws only require people requesting proof of identity accept an in-state drivers license or military ID.
My first summer job was doing IT for a small outfit, who worked out of an old house converted into an office. They had eight machines, all connected to a LaserJet printer via a parallel port switch. The parallel cables ran down into a crawlspace under the house, and it wasn't uncommon for one of the cables to work its way loose. No problem, tighten the parallel port connection at both ends, and you're back in business. But, being an old house, many outlets were missing ground pins. I must of electrocuted myself twenty times that summer.
Preventative care that actually works is super cheap and not controversial (mostly vaccinations). This idea that we can save vast sums via preventative care is a fantasy. You may find anecdotes to support it, but the serious literature doesn't bear it out.
If every gun shot in a movie resulted in a casualty then yes we might have to reconsider our stance on guns in movies.

You do realize that every child in a CP movie is being raped right? This isn't regular porn, these aren't consenting adults who are compensated for their participation.
There should be two types of prisons; one for people that will be released one day and one for people that will never be released. The never-to-be-released ones can be the nastist hellholes (if the aim is punishment), but the to-be-released ones need to concentrate on making sure that the prisioners are less likely to offend again once released.

I have often thought the solution to the reoffending problem is to fill the prisioners day with heaps of novel activities so that each day is spent learning new things (doesn't really matter what as long as it is not criminal). The aim would be that by the time the prisioner has finished their sentence their old life and self will be forgotten. The human brain only has so much capacity and if you fill it with enough novelty you will overwrite all the old bad information and behaviours.

VR has the ability to make this cheap and effective.
But...Ohio has Cleveland Clinic, Case Western University Hospital, Ohio State Medical Center...it is not like it is a total medical backwater. Cynically, Cleveland Clinic has an InterContinental hotel inside the hospital for visiting dignitaries/medical tourists...
I acknowledged that some; I'm pretty sure they shouldn't apply anymore to CT machines. Creates a profit center for the hospital with little or no offsetting benefit to the public.

Whole hospitals is harder to say, but build out will be treated like any other investment, not done willy-nilly, and a hospital going out of business is probably better over the medium term than a hospital being propped up by limiting market entry.

There are good reasons to maintain levels of service geographically, but for stuff like that we should be doing direct grants, not obstructing markets and hoping it works out the way we want.
Ha! - if you are suggesting that I mined your post for something to refute, I would argue that you presented that point as being central to your reply to the second quote that you picked from Qznc's post (and I also think it was central to that reply, so I don't think I am taking it out of context.)

I actually went so far as to do a little search into how others defined critical thinking, and they uniformly included being informed and fact-based. It seems unlikely to me that one can participate informedly in a debate without having really listened to the other participants.

Given how prevalent and easily accessible that view of critical thinking is, I am curious as to what informed your apparent view that this is not part of critical thinking.
The Fairness Doctrine was partially removed in 1987 and completely removed in 2011. There's no legal requirement that a news organization be impartial any more. If you want balanced news you need to watch multiple sources and decide what really happened yourself.

I don't know if there is a better option but the GoI definitely didn't think this throughly. Countries that demonetized in the past did this over a span of a time to prevent panic and fear. If the Govt set a deadline instead of abolishing them overnight that would go a lot smoother. Sure, that'll give 'some' tax evaders time to plan their 'exit' smoothly but it'll make lives of millions so much easier. Most likely, the evaders use that money to buy gold, so the Govt can temporarily track all gold purchases (they do it anyways for puchases over 2 lakh rupees). Even if they end up spending the cash on inflated real estate, they're in someways helping the economy instead of hoarding the cash and will end up in someone's bank account eventually. Also, all the big tax evaders rarely hoard cash. They usually have offshore accounts and sophisticated corporate structures.

Secondly, the new notes being minted have no additional security features. The RBI confirmed that the new 500 and 2000 bank notes carry the same security features as the previous ones, which probably makes it similarly easy to counterfeit. The RBI previously claimed that it would take 5-6 years to design notes with new security features and I think they should've waited until they have better bank notes to curb fake notes.
If I were to say those to you, would you be able to tell the difference?

Since the answer is probably no (I say all three of them the same), and you can understand the difference in speech when words are flying at you at a 150 words per minute, why is it necessary to have three distinct ways of writing homophone when you have all the time in the world to figure out the context?
One would only be on-board with that assuming they were on board with the whole of the product. So first you'd need to make the argument as to why a vegan should be behind this product, besides "more people can afford it if all vegans buy it."

Also, that only works if it has competition, otherwise, if it were that popular and there were no competition the producer would have good reason to raise the price knowing the market could bear it.
Not sure what's wrong with selling Ubuntu disks.

Initially, Stallman made a living selling GNU tapes, and pre-Internet, linux was often installed by a "friend" who made the stack of 40 floppies and charged a few bucks to cover his time and media expenses.
I'm not sure, but I tested your site on my computer. It looks really useful! But only checking .com domains? Not some of the new domains like .today, .ninja, etc?
