This is essentially the austerity that was pushed onto Southern Europe because the ECB didn't have any mandate to engage in monetary policy until 2012, when the ECB started to rely on more creative readings. By this time it was QE from

Unless that employee would like to pay taxes on an illiquid, fungible asset, then you actually want the value of those options to be zero at the time of grant/employment. In my experience, employees place much more emphasis on salary t

The problem is that the tax would need to be super-linear. There are two effects going on. First, with a fixed quota, the value of a credit is bid up by people wanting to fly, not dissimilar to the Norwegian butter crisis where a stick of b

It's too late for nuclear. If the last 30 years had seen R&D anything like wind and solar we'd be in a much better place. And the battle for public opinion is lost. Unfortunately, there's no time left for nuclear (fission

For Gen 2? I did try that. My understanding was that the external outputs were wired to the nvidia card, and therefore I wasn't able to use them without the wacky PRIME setup.

Sorry for the wording, because I specifically didn't want to say that. My belief is that there is a huge amount of human potential left on the table because young people don't have access to good mentors.

Sorry, it's an X1 extreme with a i7-9850H, also 45W. Compute capability wise, I'm quite happy. I've been disappointed with build quality compared to the older 440s. The nvidia prime setup with a shared frame buffer also makes

This is really cool information. My current laptop is a €3.000 Lenovo X1, which I'm not particularly impressed by. I was impressed by my 440s which lasted 5 years though. Where would you suggest I go for my next laptop?
