No, they seceded after the north stopped respecting slavery, when "an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, have enacted laws which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-slavery feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation."

They call out Lincoln's inauguration and his perceived attitude on slavery, not tarrifs:

"On the 4th day of March next, this party will take possession of the Government. It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals shall be made sectional, and that a war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States.

Yes; in fact, there's excellent evidence from the IRS that the level of misreporting on tax returns increases with the opacity and difficulty of verification of income source. There's hardly any fraud for W-2 employees, and relatively large amounts of it for passthrough businesses like partnership and S-corps.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. AFAIK between his inauguration and the outbreak of war Lincoln had basically no interaction with any of the Southern states.

You're claiming they decided to pretend it was about slavery to "appear noble and virtuous." Really??? That's their way of getting GOOD PR? They knew slavery was unpopular with everyone else but them, but they're doubling down on pretending that's their reason instead of tarrifs because they want to look "noble"? OK.

> But the rebels seceded after the north raised tariffs

Wrong. The tariff bill only passed because the Democrats lost the votes in the Senate that had stopped it earlier in the same session of Congress because the states that had seceded weren't represented anymore. Literally all the South had to do to avoid the tariff bill was not secede.
NPs and PA time isn't exactly cheap either, and they aren't sitting around waiting for stuff to do. They can be effective at treating routine cases under supervision, however it just wouldn't make sense for physicians to delegate patients histories and chart review to them. They won't necessarily know which questions to ask, and too much relevant information can be lost.

Extremely weird take. Not least because the survival rates for breast cancer and prostate cancer are very similar.

> Slave labor had nothing to do with it. If the south banned slavery in 1800 and cotton was picked by well paid whites, they would still want low tariffs.

No, the southern economy, as it was, would collapse, which is why they were so averse to anything that upset "King Cotton". Yes, tariffs were one aspect of that, but the pre-war southern economy couldn't work with well paid whites. So they had an even stronger objection to slavery ending, as it would be far more ruinous than tariffs.

> Ask yourself, did the south decide to secede after the north decided to free the slaves or after the north raised the tariffs. A tariff battle the north and south have been fighting for decades before the civil war. The answer is pretty simple and obvious.

Let's ask the southern states themselves, shall we:

Texas objected to northern states ignoring the Fugitive Slave Act:

> The States… by solemn legislative enactments, have deliberately, directly or indirectly violated the 3rd clause of the 2nd section of the 4th article [the Fugitive Slave Clause] of the federal constitution, and laws passed in pursuance thereof; thereby annulling a material provision of the compact

And South Carolina (and many others) noted that they were leaving due to Lincoln's election, which spelled doom for slavery:

> On the 4th day of March next, this party will take possession of the Government. It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals shall be made sectional, and that a war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States.

The wikipedia articles on SC's[0] debunks this, and none of the state's reasons for secession [1] list taxes or tariffs as a reason. This is ahistorical nonsense and confederate apologia.

How do you explain the South's century of aggressive open racism after the civil war in your "it was just economic" theory?

It was about slavery, racism was DEEPLY involved in US slavery, and racism and racists didn't just go away after the civil war.

Sometimes it's as simple as people say it is, over and over and over in their defense of slavery and their post-Civil-War racist laws and propaganda.

You don't need to try to save their reputations. Let them be remembered as the assholes they were.

I assisted someone in the process to receive SSDI and it was the most kafkaesque process I've ever experienced. I think every individual person at the SSA involved in the case was trying their best, but it really feels like the organization functions in a way to prevent as many people as possible from getting the benefits they qualify for.

The process took us about a year and required us to bring back the same forms and supporting documentation over and over and over again. Of course this all has to be done in person so I hope your disability doesn't make it difficult for you to get transportation and accommodations during business hours!

You're told by Alice at the SSA that you need Form A with supporting documents. You bring back the documents the next day and find out that Alice is not there and you have to speak to Bob. Bob tells you that you actually needed Form B so he refuses to process what you brought in. A few days later you get a scary letter saying that because you didn't get Form A processed in time, your application has been denied. So you have to meet with Alice again who tells you that Bob was wrong, and they restart your application.

Not only is this frustrating but it proved to be critical when it came to calculating back pay. If you don't know, when you are approved for SSDI you receive backpay starting from the date you first applied, minus a few weeks or months. Well because our application kept getting unfairly denied, we didn't receive any backpay for over a year of trying to get approved.
I think it's an interesting question.

Why stick with 2D math? If you're senior and already trained your brain to work in 2D math then it's a no brainer to continue to exploit what you know. If you're young, 2D maths is orthogonal to programming languages and I think very much worth the investment of practice: work on problems from a different perspective; very dynamic, domain and scale free; work offline; utilize large amounts of learning material; read early literature.

Why does 2D math break naming conventions we have with programming languages? You don't get autocomplete with pen and paper; you have to write out intermediate steps; and there's no backspace key. So offline bytes are expensive today as they were 100 years ago, whereas online bytes in programming languages have dropped exponentially.

Why does 2D math not stick to 1d linear forms? Notation inventors design their languages to take advantage of what the tools can do. Languages looked different before we had syntax highlighting. The tools for 2D math (pen+paper) do not have many features of the IDE, but they do have 2 dimensions with variable cell sizes. 2D math notations exploit those to make writing (and doing intermediate computations) easier.

Why not build programming languages for every construct seen in mathematics? People do! You've got symbolic languages like Mathematica to matrix languages like APL. If you've seen it written in 2D math, someone's probably turned it into a language or library.

What will the future of 2D math look like? I expect much like the present. Maybe someone will discover some brilliant new trick, but I don't think that likely. Perhaps with better hardware and AI we'll have some advanced Remarkable-like Tablets that blend the best of 2D handwritten math with the best features from IDEs. I expect 2D math has probably plateaued and will remain around as a useful orthogonal tool until AI takes over most jobs from humans (In the end both 2d maths and programming languages might not matter—it might just be binary + AIs running the show).

Probably. Remember there's no elevators, coal is heavy. The roof wasn't structurally designed to support a generator and a bin filled with coal.

IIRC, a few wealthy people (I think JP Morgan, who was a big investor in both Edison and Westinghouse) installed generators at their homes so they could host dinner parties and show off the electric lights, but they did complain about the noise and the fumes.
I mean, is it clear that it is upgradable? Because I don’t see any information about that on HP’s site. And it isn’t ridiculous to ask this question as most $1100 laptops don’t have upgradable memory.

So if you’re stuck at 16GB, that’s unacceptable for a developer laptop in 2022, I don’t care what logo is on the back. 32GB is the only acceptable starting point.
TL;DR scandium is a very expensive byproduct of uranium mining, at least in Ukraine. The Soviet Union pioneered using it to produce very strong aluminum alloys, and after the fall of the .su, the technology became available in the west. The market for scandium is small, and had some PR problems due to knockoffs of poor quality, but it never went away and high end aluminum racing components still use it, and high end aluminum frames you might purchase likely contain it also.
- "...and because it is related to the smallpox virus, there are already treatments and vaccines on hand for curbing its spread"

- "As a precaution against bioterrorism, countries such as the United States maintain a supply of smallpox vaccines, as well as an antiviral treatment thought to be highly effective against the virus. The therapies probably wouldn’t be deployed on a large scale, though, McCollum says. Health-care workers would probably instead use a method called ‘ring vaccination’ to contain the spread of monkeypox: this would vaccinate the close contacts of people who have been infected with monkeypox to cut off any routes of transmission."

They use on-SoC RAM chips, essentially a cheaper HBM instead of just some random SO-DIMMS.

I think a better comparison would be Dell or Lenovo who do the same thing HP does, and they too charge a lot for what are essentially OEM versions of Samsung and Hynix memory anyone can get.

Yes Digital Ocean. They are not a ponzi/pyramid because

2. They do not charge people to be affiliates.

You and dragonwriter keep repeating the false statement.

> The South seceded due to slavery.

No. They left after the north raised the tariff. They justified the secession on states' rights ( one of the notable being slavery ).

The south didn't secede after the north freed the slaves, threatened to free the slaves, etc. They left after they lost a decades long tariff battle to the north. The fight in the first part of the 1800s wasn't over slavery. The major fight between the north and south was tariffs/trade. It was industrialization vs agricultralism. It was never about slavery because some northern states also had slavery before and during the civil war.

If the civil war was about slavery, why didn't delaware and maryland also secede with slave owning states?

Why did west virginia secede from virginia? Could it be because west virginia major industries sold minerals, coal, etc to the industrial north? While the rest of virginia was agriculturally based?
Yeah temperature and tempering is the key - some even use sous vide set ups for it.

The best tip I've found is using plastic bowls - because they don't retain heat like ceramic and metal bowls do, making it "easier" to control temperature
