Really? The Asus and some ThinkPad models are the only ones I have seen this in. For example, none of the models offered in this Verge article [1] have a keypad.

The 14'' Razer Blade [2] also has a normal keyboard, and comes close to being a MBP replacement, though it's not perfect.

Apparently a lot of these laptops have issues with heat and noisy fans. Some articles say i7 laptops (the quad-core ones) tend to have low battery life. I'm getting about 4 hours from my MBP 2015 using only Safari, Terminal and VSCode, and I can't imagine these other laptops would be worse than that.

I went in to University (not physics) with the same stars, but I'd read far more history of science. I knew that almost everyone who tries to make something more than an incremental discovery fails miserably, I just thought it was very honorable to make the attempt, if you thought you might have what it takes.

I left because, when I looked around after many years, it was very clear that (where I was) absolutely none of the professors around me had any intention of solving the problems they were paid to discuss, nor any interest in doing so. They were quite capable of becoming angry at any sign that others did. So even if I did want to solve the problems (which I still did) hanging around them would be more hindrance than help. They wanted the prestige, they wanted to cash the people's checks - just so long as they didn't have to do the job, because it might pose some small risk that reputation, and affect the size of their wine cellar.

Rajeev's eventual answer had to more to do with reputation than big problem-solving, he may have been a functionary when push comes to shove, as well.
My feelings exactly. When is this X1 Carbon coming out? I can't see any models online.
Why wash their hands? Where would they be coming into contact with lead?
Grid operators take security pretty seriously. Lots of background checks, etc.

If some dude with established ties to the KGB, living illegally in the country under the identity of a dead infant was able to make it past that, whatever controls are in place have some serious defects.

This guy might have been perfectly fine, but his background should have precluded being in that gig.

Honestly the plane was likely flying itself 90+% of the time. The computers are much better and giving a smooth ride in turbulance.

For fun take a lot at the outer trim tabs when flying in rough skies. The computer adjusts them like 20 times a second to keep the wings stable, kinda cool to see
Pretty much every PM I'm ever worked with kept a short-staffed team, picked ship dates the team was unlikely to hit, then as the date neared, started scrounging around for developers outside the team to fix all their shitty bugs and MacGyver their product/feature into a shippable state. Then after they ship, of course all credit and promotions went to the original team.

Be nice if you didn't pull that shit.
You probably won't unless you are eating the paint off the wall or the paint is disintegrating and turning into dust.

Quite often the most effective way to deal with lead paint is to leave it alone.
> For a long time, universities have argued that the public has to tolerate the views of professors, even when those views sharply depart from established moral and political orthodoxy, and even when the views create offense and upset

The universities' real opinions didn't change; the orthodoxy did (in the universities' favor). The direction of academically acceptable discourse had remained the same.

Says that dolphins deserve the same rights as people and nobody bats an eye ( http://www.bbc.com/news/world-17116882 ); say that men and women have "innate" differences and everyone loses their minds ( https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2005/1/14/summers-comment... ).
Yup. You are right. The model holds.

Yeah, just in time to validate the business case.
A business like AR with $60k in profit sold for $215k seems like a pretty good deal for the seller.

On a yield basis, that seems like a great deal, but given the work involved (+ chance of the business being disrupted), I'm not sure I like that profit to price paid ratio. It certainly isn't a price I would have paid.
Actually I just found that some Samsung Notebook 9 "pro" 15" have keypad-less keyboard. However, they seems to be limited to 8GB, and I don't want to be sent 6 years in the past. I also don't exactly know what the "pro" in their name is for, given they ship with Win10 home...
This is what newspapers are for.
I don't think L/D of more than 10 is realistic for a compact VTOL aircraft even in cruise mode, and then there's the vertical take off and landing component that will cause further inefficiency especially on short trips. But at the same time I don't think it matters that much.

> But in the end he's the one who should be allowed to override an engineer's decision on ... when to pull extra hours

No way. I can agree that often the PM has the ability to set task priorities (not always, devs can push back and the devs' people managers will have the final say), but no way does a PM have the authority to decide that a dev should be working extra hours. Absolutely not. That is a pure people management decision (and one that should almost always be decided no).
They might have been able to "capture" a good amount of drivers with their new update strategy. This might help to be able to do that... and this is a good news!
None were found, and the OP's reference to a diplomat's daughter faking testimony is, in fact, real and it did help precipitate a war.

All that said, it has no bearing on the Russian hacking case, which should be viewed in the context of a certainty about Russian hacking capabilities, and of a long history of Putin undermining transatlantic and european unity with all the tools of asymmetric conflict.
I live in a microstudio condo building in SoMA, San Francisco. Rent is ~$2000. It's always surreal to see this old lady with an asian "carrying pole" in the elevator. There's no rent control here or government sponsored housing of sorts. Either the lady makes a lot of money doing this (doubtful), or some generous person is letting her live for free (these are ~100 square feet microstudios, barely space to roommate), or she's doing this as a hobby, or I just lack imagination. (For context, we're 10 feet away from a Whole Foods, and Uber's self driving garage).
Oh no doubt. I just mean the case is an interesting but accidental curiosity rather some intricate John le Carré-style gambit to compromise the US power grid.
Note that POTS/dysautonomia due to poor brain perfusion (not enough blood flow in the brain) is extremely frequent in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is treated and self-treated by very high salt intake (sodium) - and that those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome appear to have ten times the rate of MS than the general population. This leads to the obvious suggestion that excess sodium in the brain may be a proxy for poor brain perfusion, which of course profoundly affects cognition!

If you want to increase brain perfusion, for whatever reason, mixing concentrace (sea salt with the sodium removed) and potassium chloride are better choices or should also be taken along with sodium chloride.

Except the case of Flint, where in the article I linked to, the people who set the threshold of 5 have had to backtrack, and reassure parents that their children are not really "poisoned". The article also mentions concern over the stigma those kids will carry going forward of being labelled as "brain damaged". Such labelling isn't cost-free, and can wreak serious emotional damage on parents and children.

But Edwards says that labeling children as “brain damaged” is also unjust. “Poisoning is obviously a loaded word,” he adds. “I’ve spoken to many parents in Flint, and I’m concerned because I don’t want children there defined by what happened to them

You will notice all the caveats in the article above, that are generally ignored in mainstream reporting of scientific studies around lead.

If you can recommend a better strategy, I'd like to hear it.

How about scientific studies that actually attempt to quantify the effects of lead, to determine an actual threshold of harm, handle confounding properly, and avoiding emotive and alarmist tropes when publicizing the results of those studies?

Alarmism may be useful in the short term for getting action taken (and getting funding), but in the long-term, it will cause people to "tune out" or worse, to adopt anti-science attitudes (see current Global Warming skepticism).
on top of that, the leaks were real. If they were "leaking" phony information, I might have an issue. But this "hack" gives high-ranking politicians a taste of their own medicine. What POTUS calls a "hack", I prefer to call "warrant-less wiretapping".

and it's for "security". I'm 'secure' from hillary clinton's corruption, therefore, violating her right to privacy is ok. same thing they do to each US citizen
I think what may be confusing the issue is at what time we're talking about. Given the broad strokes being argued in this thread, it makes it difficult to have a constructive discussion.

There are documented cases of Iraq using chemical weapons while under Saddam's rule. For example:

By 2003, when the coalition invaded Iraq, for all intents and purposes Iraq no longer had WMDs, as reported by the Iraq Survey Group.

I want to have some documents proofreading. I know that the best place my depend on which kind of document is it (it is a thesis), but I'm more worried about grammar mistakes and typos than the technical stuff.

Any advices?

No need to pin it on one party. Rather than worrying about liability, better to worry about who's bearing the cost of the externality, and what the future costs of mitigating or not would be, with expenses to be paid from a general fund. Going forward it's better to price externalities in at the early stages.

> She lives close by, in a house near the big Cadbury chocolate factory.

I used to live right near there; the Cadbury factory is on Gladstone just north of Dundas street. If she owns that house with her husband, it's probably worth just a bit north of a CAD $1 million. Just the rent on a semi-decent house in that neighbourhood would be at least $2,500/month, if not $3,000.
you're right. it's a bunch of folks without a spine to stand up straight and oppose lies and question "facts" thereby supporting and carrying forth the myths.

some may fail simply because of bureaucracy but still all of this happens because the majority are desperate sheep.

People say this, and I really really want to like the ThinkPads and in particular the X1 Carbon because it's black and badass but it can't possibly be made out of carbon fiber for how flimsy it feels. Granted perhaps it's more durable than it seems but MacBooks are so solid and dense and rigid by comparison.

One of my friends has dropped his Air out of his lofted dorm bed numerous times and you couldn't even tell by looking at it, it's totally fine. One of my other friends has a ThinkPad Yoga and the fancy hinge was fucked within two weeks of purchase.

No, I am not a professional basketball player. I can't even compete in a neighborhood pickup game. That is the point; I lack the raw material to be a professional athlete.

You don't understand because you are blinded and spoiled by Google.

Go see the outside world => They have none of your internal tech and services. Stateful containers do not exist there. "Containers" means "docker" which is experimental at best.
Sure. Basically, a bunch of scripting languages (Ruby, PHP, Python, a few others) share the same properties, that make them hard to compile:

- they're not really specified anywhere

- they use `eval` and similar dynamic constructs

- they allow you to mutate your data in weird ways (in particular, you can change variables dynamically by knowing the name of the variable, aka "variable variables").

I looked at how to solve these problems in PHP by embedding the PHP interpreter into the compiler as well as into the compiled program. Then I looked at how to do alias analysis in PHP - alias analysis is a type of static analysis to figure out which names in the program point to the same value. This had been done before for a subset of PHP but not for the full generality of the language, in particular dealing with variable variables.
Yep, quite common. Cheaper than a cash advance too... however it's changing now with 3% down...

The post-Cold War balance of power contradicts this. Provoking a great power makes little sense for obvious reasons.

I think there's a tendency in the Racket community to rely much more on a thorough reading of manuals and docs than a peek at the source code. I personally can count on one hand the number of times I've had to look up implementation code for debugging or to figure out how to implement something. The Racket manuals, Scribble, DrRacket's integration with both, and the strong culture of documentation in user packages make for a wonderful development experience.
Intel is pushing their own chips for deep learning (i.e. Xeon and Xeon Phi). They claim that using MKL on these chips gets comparable performance to using Caffe/cuDNN on a high-end GPU.

> And homicide rates have risen substantially in the last two years (up 10.4% in 2015, and projected for 13.1% this year). These are the biggest increases in a generation.

Pretending a 49% drop over 20 years is sustainable continuously with no outliers is...absurd. There is a reason these sorts of trendlines are generally drawn over 5-10 years of data, not 1 or 2.

> Homicide rates were considerably higher in the United States during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, but over the past 25 years, have fallen nearly continuously:

> As Pew has reported in recent years, in fact, the American public is "unaware" that the homicide rate in the United States has fallen by 49 percent over the past twenty years. And while Pew doesn't report on it, it's also a safe bet that the public is also unaware that homicide rates have collapsed as total gun ownership in the United States has increased significantly.
