Firstly, Nigerian population is much larger than Russian (190 vs 146). And secondly, what's wrong with population of Nigeria? It's 60% of population of USA and will probably be equal in 30 years.

I'm not sure about system's motivation though. There are 2 "systems" - the one which pays and the other one, which receives the payment for the care, and this one probably wants him alive for as long as possible. They me

I don't agree with blanket bans. We should also consider patterns of usage and actual environmental impact. Trash bags are efficient in production, very convenient and allow to better organize other garbage , and most often end up in t

There are some useful good reviews. When author goes into details, comparisons with other stuff, some pros/cons, have photos etc. It's just too much work to do for the sake of fake review. Also if the author could be traced to suc

The whole thing is an incredibly stupid move by Microsoft, very disappointing.

Yep. Also spectrum doesn't seem to have clients for neither windows nor android, how is it a good choice for open online community?

You need antitrust laws to work not unions, when SV companies had secret agreement. And for 2 - there's app for that, but I don't think the statement is generally true.
159.
by aquadrop 8y ago
Because that's what unions do. They protect current members at the expense of everyone else, including unionized colleagues.

But if you think about it, maybe that's much better type of knife for the sharpening company. You need their service all the time.

But you can disable notifications for the app on the OS level, right?

Yes, the point I'm making is wealth of parents also isn't everything. Bill Gates was an outlier on his own.

I think that's questionable and downplays his abilities. He won National Merit Scholarship. He scored 1590 out of 1600 in SAT. He had a profitable business running when he was still in school automating some traffic calculations, and h

What goals/steps are there? Is it anything more than something like Goal: get promoted/get higher salary Steps to the goal: did my job well ?

According to Wikipedia: " Langlands likes to learn foreign languages, both for better understanding of foreign publications on his topic and just as a hobby. He speaks French, Turkish, German and Russian". I'd say it's n

You don't need to be expert, but at least be related to the thing you head... Would it be ok for minister of finance to say "Never went to a bank, never had an account. I have staff and secretaries they somehow get me things I wan

In my opinion yes. There's trend on dumbing down media UI on desktop, even though it doesn't have restrictions of mobile, with instagram being prime example - no volume control and no ability to move position. It's their choi

And that's very inconvenient.

by aquadrop 8y ago
Well, hard to take someone seriously when they don't understand that it's not a minor UI enhancement.

by aquadrop 8y ago
Great idea, but having no volume control is awful.

Rollback that graph to 1995, and it looks similar to current situation. And then there was 5 more years of high growth.

Offtopic, but that's one of the worst ways to do map legends I've seen. It reads like this: - Pink: restricted - Red: banned - Dark blue: Iceland

Yeah, I know, I wrote about it in my original comment, you didn't have to tell me that twice :) And that's my point, Apple already has very impressive thing going on, no need to smudge it with sensationalists statements.

Did you run it on MacBook when it was on battery? Might not get to the max TDP in that case. So it would be like 30W vs 4W, but it's also 14nm vs 7nm. Anyway though, it's still _very_ impressive from Apple, but much more believabl

They talk about specific CPU there, Xeon 8176. That's why phrase from the article "we see that the A12 outperforms a Skylake CPU" is very sensationalist.

Article reference specific CPU - Xeon 8176. It has 165W TDP.

My point was that if they had this abysmal advantage now, it means they would see it coming several years prior and would work on OS and anything else it needed. But it's not the point, main point is that I think statement that current
