If the Mexican government is unable to keep its people from getting killed as a result of a neighboring country policing intoxicants, that's a failure of the Mexican government to control crime within its borders, not reason for another nation to change its laws -- you're asking not just for decriminalization, but also legal native manufacturing of addictive substances in the US, as otherwise the lucrative export market would continue to exist.

Complexity argument is not valid. It's debatable at least. AFAIK it's part of the bigger discussion whether evolution has direction.
All things you mention combined only explain a factor up to 4 (probably much less since the complexity increases). With a factor of 2-3 already being realized years ago.
I have the T450s, and it's a great laptop for sure. But as someone who has owned laptops from the previous IBM ThinkPad series, there is a noticeably deterioration in quality ever since Lenovo took over. Is it only my laptop or have others noticed this as well?

Now, without some context, this is not a good proof because you don't say your assumptions/axioms up front. Did you already prove that sqrt(x2+y2)>=x? Did you already prove that this particual integral exists? That you are allowed to choose a coordinate system so that A and B are both on the x axis?

If you take all of the above for granted (or "obvious"), you may as well say that the straight line being shortest is obvious.

I used to have a Dell Precision M4800 and honestly you don't buy them for battery life. They're desktop workstation replacements that you haul off to meetings occasionally. I got about 2-3 hours of battery time on that thing when running usual work-related workloads on it... (IDE, VM's etc.). I don't remember the noise, but I'm not very sensitive to noisy laptops so I may have never noticed.

I miss that laptop. The build quality was through the roof and it was solid as a brick.
It should drive safely, and ignore ego, so that the driver can get over it and will quickly get used to the car driving safely.
Well, the law as written allows them to give you a ticket for driving _at_ the posted speed -- if that speed wasn't "reasonable or prudent" at the time; for example, in severe storms or during an evacuation.

I'm not sure where to stand, but I do believe that the safe speed to drive it is more than just a function of "do what the sign says."

My experience with Lenovo:

Personal Machine: (Ubuntu/CentOS with 1 or 2 VM running sometimes)
For me: AMD Quad Core - A10 7300 , with 8GB DDR3 RAM and 1TB HDD (acer aspire e15) is perfect Linux development machine, it costs less than $500 . Unless you are running 3 or more VM or stuffs like high-end data processing using 16GB RAM for development is worthless.

Work machine: (Windows / Fedora-19 with 3VBox vm running most of the time)
We (team of 7 members) received new Lenovo thinkpad in 2012, with 256SSD, 16GB ram, and i7 processor. Within 18months 3 or 4 of my friends faced hardware related-issues (suddenly stopped booting etc). Luckily mine survived until I left the company in 2015.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with that unless you provide an explanation of why you need to measure instead of compute.

If you generate N data (N being choosen randomly in a uniform distribution between 100 and 200), and your data size is S (taken randomly between 50 and 500)..

The best, average and worst case scenario are easy enough to compute, aren't they ?

since a company is made up of people, and the performance of a company is closely tied to the ability of the management, and when you buy over the company you might be concerned about your affinity as an owner to the group of people that makes up management, then I think an investment banker fulfils the same role as an interviewer or a recruiter for a job candidate.

I have not tested a t430 but the t450 feeled a lot more "mushy" or rubberdome like. The t420 has a solid click (without the "click" :/) which is something i really like.

From what ive read it got worse after the t420. So it was a easy choice for me.

>To me avoiding sugar doesn't feel like something I need to think about, it feels normal.

Only because, as you say, you "come from a family with diabetics". Not exactly the most common experience growing up (even if there are many diabetics, there are less that know it, and even fewer than do something about it -- statistics I've seen say there are about 9% diabetics, of which about 25% is undiagnosed).

So, I don't understand what you find "hard to understand". That most people don't share the same experience?

As Michio Kaku said, "Any advanced civilization must grow in energy consumption faster than the frequency of life-threatening catastrophes (e.g. meteor impacts, ice ages, supernovas, etc.). If they grow any slower, they are doomed to extinction." ( http://mkaku.org/home/articles/the-physics-of-extraterrestri... ).

Any guesses how far we are from being able to control volcanoes so that they would not pose a threat? Too far, I would guess.

This is incredible work. Bret Victor's as well.

Somehow I'd never seen Amit's work before, and Bret's only very recently—despite being inadvertently bitten by the same bug as both of them a couple years back. Granted, a conservative estimate puts either of them as being about five hundred times more productive than myself.

Bret's work in particular is humbling. The "explorable explanations" concept was something I'd given a lot of thought to, and it turns out Bret had dedicated an entire article to elucidating it back in 2011, years prior.

Perhaps the greatest irony of being obsessed with accelerated learning is that while you're trying to build the tools or technology to enable it, you find yourself wanting the very thing you're building. e.g. "I could build my magic learning computer much more quickly if only I had a magic learning computer!" While this is frustrating, it at least serves as constant validation, as you try to force yourself to pay attention to some dry, overly-verbose reference on a particular subject.
> ... I find the boot time compelling enough (~23sec until login, plus 2sec to open the browser) that I do not need this.

I think something is slowing down your boot, I get faster boot on a 2008 thinkpad running the same OS.

OT: systemd was supposed to improve boot performance but it has actually become much worse. Upstart on a weak chromebook boots in under 2 sec, why shouldn't your current generation thinkpad with a fast SSD match that?

I believe I remember a similar product on Shark Tank. From memory, I believe it was an unfortunate pitch. What differentiates this product?
I have a X240 (12.5" version of the T440) for about 2.5 years now, and while indeed being super quiet when it's new, today the fan is almost always on, even if it's only on the lowest speed. Probably need to open it up and give it a good cleaning, and/or replace the thermal paste between the CPU and cooler.
Lenovo are on my personal shitlist after superfish and abusing the windows platform binary table. When my current laptop dies (a thinkpad T440p that I'm reasonably happy with), I may have to suck up the performance hit and go to minifree for a machine I can actually trust.
It's just more frequency and cache for me, but for enterprise there are more management features.

>I quit sugar for about 2 months and went into an inexplicable depression where I was having suicidal thoughts.

Hmm, I had the opposite. Cut sugar for ~2 months, lost 20 pounds, never felt better. Was doing a variation of the low-carb Atkins-style diet.

Had to stop it because I got gout from eating too much meat though, but looking to restart it with adjustments for that.

If it's true, it could be that there is more insider information being used than is generally recognized. Computers can't get that info.
As others have mentioned, going for the 10-day retreat can help you get started. You have to understand though, that if you want to get into Vipassana meditation, do it for life. If you are motivated enough, then you don't need the retreat.

Some people like the company of others and a sort of schedule to keep. It motivates them. They go for the retreat. But I have seen them come back with absolutely no change. They still go back to their old ways, of talking shit about others, smoking, drinking, and they don't practice meditation anymore. This is just bad attitude towards Vipassana.

To be honest, I was introduced to Vipassana (and Yoga), when I was in rehab. 15 days of early morning meditation and Yoga helped me a lot. That got my interest going and I decided to buy self-help books and keep practicing.
How to waterproof a sensor
Tastes differ, and in music especially. So I'd avoid generalizations here. Most of the "mass market" music today is garbage anyway.
I did that with 2009 thinkpad and it got much worse. I guess the cheap paste I used was worse than the 6 year old paste lenovo had used :(

What _did_ help was to take out the fan, clean it and then oil it carefully (too much oil or doing so without cleaning it first will only make things worse). You can also buy replacement fans, although original fans are quite expensive.
Is that percentage high or low compared to the products of low skilled labor?
The behaviour you saw was entirely the fault of the human behind the wheel. He was more than capable of noticing that he was holding up traffic behind him and driving slower than average. There's no need for Tesla to add alarms or special behaviour for this situation because they don't claim to give you full automation right now. There are still some driving tasks that are the responsibility of the driver.
Ways I successfully avoid the social awkwardness you mentioned:

1) If present with an SO, say you are sharing theirs.

2) Take the proffered sugar, make eating-cadence motions with the spoon/fork but instead of eating, mash it a bit. After a few times, hard to tell at a glance whether or not someone has eaten it. Discreetly set down, walk away.

3) Or do the more advanced version, when you realize rarely does someone really observe and care that you eat a food, and being seen in the give-and-take transaction with you is far more socially significant: take, dab with utensil, discard.

4) Decline with a wry "doctor's orders". YMMV, might be accompanied by increased risk of one-sided conversation over health issues, especially if giver is elderly relation with lots of such.
Just don't put that much confidence in what those labels say:

Maybe I do, but I don't think so. It sounds like we just disagree on what respect/courtesy/tact is due to the original contributor to a project. I don't see the implicit hierarchy that you do. Roots are important to history and worth some kudos, but don't and shouldn't carry any power at all.

One faction of developers parted ways with another faction because they disagree on direction, in this case the minority faction has the rights to the name. We get a choice, they all get to donate their work to the public as they wish to.

This is unintuitive to our ape brains, but it is objectively better to remove ego and status concerns from collaborative projects.
"replacement" - not even close.
Maybe in the firmware Dell is shipping, but the CPUs are identical in their feature set as per the ark links I supplied.

The only difference in the processors is the Xeon supports ECC, while the Core i7 doesn't. But Dell isn't shipping the laptop with ECC anyway.

The specifications don't even list support for ECC RAM! [0]

For around eight years my primary job function was to put investment bank traders out of a job, by automating what they did.

There were still humans in charge of the algorithms, but they moved more towards Python programmers than market traders.

Many of the "old-style" traders bitched about what we did, and most moved jobs to banks that were less advanced.

(I was in the interest rates line; typical trade size is $10M)
I'm about to start working on that.
To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed when I see open source projects adopting closed source platforms. While they can have similar functionality with Matrix, without having to support a Matrix instance.
I find that bugs occur when you do not fully understand all possible state combinations and edge cases. So if that is the case I try to break it down to smaller units that are easier to comprehend. There will still be bugs though, but they are usually edge cases you didn't imagine would happen, and that's where I find testing useful, as the next person who touch the code probably will also miss that edge case.

1) Make changes
2) Manually test & run automatic tests
3) Write automatic tests for each problem/bug discovered
4) Repeat

This only works for decoupled code though. If all units are coupled you must have automatic tests of everything as no-one can comprehend exponential complexity.
Having purchased a ThinkPad immediately after its CES announcement before, I'd strongly recommend against it, for several reasons.

If something goes wrong, you'll have a long wait for service, due to unavailability of parts or replacement systems. I had to wait literally months for "next business day" service. (Under normal circumstances, they really do show up on the next business day.)

Wait a few months, let any teething issues shake themselves out, and then get one. If you can't wait that long and need a new laptop now, grab an established model.

After reading through the answers here, I don't think the real answer has been given.

Is it the technology?

* Flash cells can store more data an be produced cheaper per cell. But they are more complex to read out and slower.

This can explain some factor, but the factor of 40 given by OP probably not.

* Flash and DRAM probably use different processes.

This could explain a bit but look at the next point...

* DRAM has a much longer history and (at least in the beginning) much higher capital investment.

...which means that DRAM should have the technological advantage. At least through economies of scale.

Is the cumulative investment in flash research already much bigger compared to DRAM research?

Is the process used to produce flash memory so much easier?

Is it the market?

* Obviously people pay the price.

* With DRAM people are hungry for performance more than they are for size.

* We already have more than enough DRAM. The latest MacBookPro demonstrates that 16 GB DRAM is enough for just about everybody but flash storage goes up to 1 TB.

* Of those 16 GB DRAM the speed and power consumption are much more important than the raw size.

Coming back to the cumulative investment. I think that the primary pain point for flash has been the price per GB. Flash could be stronger, faster, more reliable, less power consuming but those are all secondary. It is fast and reliable enough by using very complex RAID controllers. The power consumption is not as bad as HDDs already use a lot and the data mostly just sits around. The main driving point is the price per GB. This is where the money goes in flash development.

On the other hand for DRAM, after some point, it is mostly speed and power driven. Reliability has to be comparatively high as every cell must work over years. Size is mostly increased by improving semiconductor processes where flash probably uses a lot of the same technology. Using the layer stacking technologies of flash is probably not yet applicable because it is not reliable enough and not compatible with the cell layout, maybe it never will.

If we really were hungry for so much RAM we would probably get it. But we aren't. It's good enough. Progress slows down.

Yes, ordered a manufacturer refurbished XPS 15 from eBay, apparently that's a popular thing to do. A day or two later I stumbled on a deal on the Precision 15 E3-1505M motherboard and took a gamble on swapping it. Worked out without any issues other then likely warranty complications if I ever go down that road.

I can easily get 6+ hours on it doing vim + chromium + GCC builds. If I baby it, it can do 10 hours I assume, but it's to the point it doesn't matter unless you need to go a weekend without charging.

My old System 76 ultra pro was lucky to get 2.5 hours doing the same things.

Most of my components are selected for power. I've heard the 4k display with touch is brutal for battery life and selected 1080p instead. I have 8GB of RAM, started to swap in 32GB but the baseline power at idle went from 5.25W to around 7W. The bigger 84Wh battery is an obvious choice and I use the Intel GPU 99% of the time (sometimes the Quadro M1000M for the rare times I play games via bumblebee).
