The trick with Optimus seems to be to use the Intel iGPU for your desktop and day to day work and bumblebee when you really need the NVidia GPU. Trying to use the discrete GPU for the desktop is just an exercise in frustration (and a waste

The average out of court settlement should reflect the cost to society. Unfortunately, if the corporation has better lawyers, it often doesn't.

So competition might prevent one of many downsides to different states having different laws? I don't see why this means there's any benefit to that situation over just having one set of laws?

I disagree. Why would it block modified licensed code instead of looking for a COPYING or LICENSE file? On the contrary, it could enforce copyleft by detecting GPL code that's made it into a proprietary codebase (or a more permissive o

Not all functions can produce an error. If you add two arbitrary precision integers, you're not getting an error.

Not by the result directly, no. But you can take the same data and use it to state that we are this sure the theory is wrong.

BlackBerry was probably the closest, and I expect they already knew what modifications to make.

That's what happens when you privatize the rail system. Though as I understand it, it's still subsidized just not to the same extent as in the Netherlands. Rail is just a very expensive mode of transport to operate.

When it comes to core infrastructure, government run is better than state run. The government is incentivized to provide service and pricing that maximizes the public good while a private company has to maximize its own profit. You could st

The OSI definition is based on the DFSG, so in practice it's stricter than the free software definition.

No, open source means the license meets the OSI definition of open source, which CC NC doesn't.

Unfortunately, this just leads to areas that are well-run already (generally rich ones) getting more and more funding, and areas that are already poorly run (generally poor ones) having to work with even more restricted funding. With a prop

That's not a pure LVT anymore is it? Nevertheless my point stands that if you build a larger development on the same land you would put a greater strain on public services without contributing more. Now you probably want to encourage

Land value taxation makes even less sense for funding local public services. You could build a 500 unit high rise apartment block on a piece of land and pay the same tax as if you had built 10 houses on it. For schools and policing and th

Why are property taxes even connected to property values? Does it get more expensive to supply public services when property values go up? A flat tax per square foot would make more sense, perhaps with a rate ray varies based on locality.

I mentioned the IQ stuff because I found it to be a strange example. By definition of IQ, it shouldn't exhibit any issues so long as the random sampling is done correctly. In addition, there's a difference between saying "p i

Yes, I already said the background estimation can be wrong. We can check it by defining validation regions outside the signal region and making sure it correctly describes the data there (where there is no signal) and assign a conservative

Two points: 1. If you're using a data driven background, you're background model isn't the Standard Model but that there isn't something special about your signal region. 2. If you are using the SM as your background, th

I don't think it would go down very well with Spain, and perhaps Italy, either.
