Yeah but if you leave these cables on your desk, that's like... <5 minutes of connecting/disconnecting every time you want to move. Most good docks will have a disconnect button which you at least have to press as well. Again I agree it's inconvenient to not have this, but if that's what "business device" means I don't think that distinction is important (at least not to me). When I think of "business device" I think of portability and power -- "workstations", not necessarily whether they have docks/port replicators.

I also think that this issue is a knock against the product I'm infaturated with (Oryx Pro) but more the surrounding ecosystem -- surely some vendors will pop up (if not System76 themselves) to remedy this.

There is a big difference. When typing on a keyboard, you can make mistakes and take your time. When playing a musical instrument, you need to hit the right note on the first attempt and at the right time or it'll sound obviously wrong.

Neither playing the piano or typing on a keyboard will alone build good manual dexterity. Precision and strength are also needed.

Just writing or drawing with a pen would be a great help.

No, it isn't. That's about 6x the price in the US and at least 5x the price in Australia. No combination of VAT and shipping fees can account for that big of a discrepancy. You're probably just looking at a retailer that has inflated the price while they're out of stock. Try getting a quote from someone who has stock in your country ready to ship.
While you could get one for machine learning... If you're buying an additional computer just for that I'm not sure a laptop is the most cost effective choice, though this laptop in particular seems like it could handle that just fine. Running GPU intensive machine learning seems like a really good way to find out about reliability issues before anyone else... Make sure it's covered under warranty, I don't know if you can argue that it's normal wear and tear (though I guess it might be identical to someone playing Crysis for hours and hours).

Again, I think the Oryx Pro would be able to handle it, but the use case seems just a tad wrong... Unless of course you routinely do your machine learning on the go.
These threads always invite the outliers (i.e. those who want to humble brag). Here's mine outside Washington/California/Silicon Valley/NYC:

- $40K: 2010-2013, "DevOps" at small startup. No ownership/shares.

- $45-72K: 2014-Current, Programmer (various job titles) working for state's education department

Even management here only make $90K capping out around $115K~. But cost of living is low.

These threads never have people posting their boring salaries from low cost of living areas, I'm trying to buck that trend.

I got my first real job in early 2012.

2015-2017: €27k (€21.5k after taxes because of magical tax breaks for "new companies" - actually B2B contractors)

2017-present: €31 (€23.4k after taxes)

I currently spend half of my time in Warsaw, Poland and the other half in Bologna, Italy, so my living expenses are low, but not low low, e.g. I rent a studio apartment for €500 + other expenses.

I also reached the hourly rate cap for my position at my company so in order to get a raise I would need to switch jobs, which is what I'm intending to do by the end of the year.

Yes, it's the hub for WOW and IcelandAir, so a lot of people passing through on trans-Atlantic trips.

IcelandAir also allows travelers to split their itinerary for no extra fee, so a few days in Reykjavik isn't too costly (just room/board). I assume WOW does the same.

I was there in mid-January and was amazed how busy both KEF and Reykjavik were for the "offseason." A few locals said there wasn't really an offseason any more.

Perhaps the guy is really good/ambitious? I've had to deal with the stigma of being "above average", and it bothers me when I hear stuff like this. This sort of thinking stops people who have the drive to do something, and it makes them delay their enthusiasm until others feel they deserve a chance. That's just terrible in my opinion. And it's probably part of the reason why so many young people start a startup or go and work for one; so their talent and enthusiasm can actually yield something worthwhile, rather than be hindered by various corporate paradigms.

Yes, it's difficult to follow exactly what they did. This:

> We used 10 fake Facebook pages with no content, and changed the “paid for” disclosure after each senator was approved.

Makes it sound to me like they got approval using a real identity and then changed the now-approved account to use a different name.

Methodology aside, though, Facebook shouldn't be showing that they verified the identity if they did not verify the identity. Unless the methodology was "we stole the identities of some senators" or "we cracked their passwords", this is a failure a another breach of trust on Facebook's part.
Re-purposed engineering can still be triumphant.

Especially if you are going to a star roughly same or higher luminosity, you should have no problem braking with the sail. Also, you probably absolutely need to break with sails since you don't want to carry much fuel to break. Any reasonable amount of fuel required to break will be orders of magnitude more than the payload -- reducing effectiveness of sails by same factor.

I'm sure the testing industry would love this proposal, but I disagree. Let people know general dexterity scores needed, give them an option to test themselves, but don't require it until it is time for admission. You'd be way, way, way overtesting for a skill the majority won't need. Most med students are ultimately not at all interested in surgery due to how long the post-graduate residencies are (5 years, minimum), to say nothing of potential fellowships. And there's only about ~1,300 total residency spots per year anyway, so testing all med students would just be a unnecessary revenue stream.
>And an important detail to remember is that Europeans usually work a lot less than Americans. Due to progressive taxes people tend to choose for more time off rather than more pay.

Yep, anecdotal but time is just so much more valuable in my 20s than the extra (taxed) money. The sweet spot atleast for me is a 3 day work week. Pays enough and it has a decent balance.

I could never trade this situation for a US dev job even for 3-4x the salary.
It's very simple ethical logic: it's my right to compete with others for resources, and my obligation to myself and people who depend on me to do so.

Yeah I'm running Pop OS as well. Interestingly, it has the best Optimus support out of any distro I've seen thus far. It installed without issue and allows me to switch between graphics via a GUI (albeit requiring a reboot).

Thanks for letting me know! I think I'm currently in the throes of "nothing makes sense why do I have to do route vs routef when do I do this stuff why is everything squashed into HttpContext!!!?" dither when I just haven't ramped up the mental framework to reason about what I'm doing. Hopefully, I'm making progress towards there, but at this second, any issues I open would be skewed WAY towards the pedantic/RTM side of things rather than stuff of substance.

But I will totally open an issue if I have something not time-wasting!

> Although US prisons are not ethnically balanced, neither is the crime rate for various reasons including poverty.

About 1/4 of prisoners are there because of drugs[1]. Because of the US's punitive drug laws many of these are not dealers but users. In addition, African Americans are much more likely to get "stop and frisked" and get caught with drugs even where whites possess drugs more often[2]. They're also more likely to be arrested for drug offences[2]:

> 16% of those who sold drugs were black, but 49% of those arrested for doing so were black

The disparity in prison population cannot be explained away by crime rate or poverty demographics. It's the result of selective enforcement and preferential treatment for one group over another.

I still have MP3 files in my collection that I recorded off the radio. I recorded them off the radio with a cassette tape while in junior high.

I know which ones are recorded off the radio because they miss the first second or two of the song.

> There should rather be laws that prohibit the use of certain online marketing tools in political campaigns. For example, it should be a punishable felony to use viral marketing in political campaigns that involves any kind of fake comments, replication bots, deliberately falsified news, or fake accounts not tied to real persons. Maybe these tools should also be prohibited for ordinary marketing - IANAL but I think in many countries they already are -, but they should definitely be strictly prohibited in political campaigns.

The issue is around defining what is fake and what is real, and that extremist governments will do their absolute best to twist the meanings of these words to fit their agenda.

That is a potential approach. However, the things that cause cancer are typically dysregulation of self proteins. These are usually things that stop and start cell growth and replication. In these cases, it is not totally clear in these cases what can cause recognition (perhaps overabundance causes higher presentation on the outside of cells and maybe enhanced recognition by some T cells can cause killing--I am speculating as I'm a couple years out of date on the literature).

Other cancers there may be a mutation in one of these genes that makes it more or less effective and lead to cell cycle deregulation. Those are good targets for T cell killing.

In any case, it is probably a more effective approach in cases where we understand potential epitope targets to directly expand T cells that can do the killing rather than having some intermediary in the mix.
In the US, the salaries of most state universities are public (for profs, it will show 9 month salaries). Here is what I found when surveying ~15 states:

A typical salary (9 month appointment + 2 months of summer salary) is 110k-140k. Summer salary is dependent on getting grants though. Plus you get a “startup account” to cover travel, equipment, and student salaries. State workers may also get nice benefits like a pension.

So, as a CS prof you actually live quite well except in big cities. From my survey, prof salaries don’t scale with expensive cost of living areas.
It would help if you said explicitly what language you think is better in this respect. Having Data Frames in Python at all requires importing Pandas afaik, so criticizing R for requiring an extra data-manipulation package wouldn't make sense from a Python perspective.

I have first direct as well, and it’s a joke. They are stuck in the last century. My 1Password entry for them holds eight security codes for different occasions (phone, bank, “code signing”, whatever weird jargon they came up with now). Who is their target audience , Kim Peek?

>Beef is a product made from cows.

Cows are not globally fungible. Beef production in the US has absolutely nothing to do with the amazon being destroyed. There is no part of the amazon in the US, no US cattle are raised in the amazon, no feed fed to US cattle comes from the amazon. US beef production is not related at all.

>I'm starting to believe that you aren't arguing in good faith, in part because your statements are just thrown out there without any evidence or citation. Sure, a pound of beef or chicken contains more protein or calories than a pound of vegetables. But that's a nonsensical and misleading claim

I did not make that claim. I responded to someone else making a misleading claim. Assuming bad faith makes it more likely to misread things.

>many more pounds of vegetables went into producing that pound of beef and chicken.

No vegetables go into producing it. Grain might, but vegetables do not. Lettuce is far more wasteful of land than beef is, but we do not see campaigns against lettuce consumption, only against beef consumption. This is not logical.
