There was a touchpad fix that they mailed out to people a while back. Maybe that’s related to your problem? I never applied it because mine seems to be fine.

Your use of the word "take" is probably related to the disconnect. In copyright violations, the crime is copying. Usually "taking" has a different connotation than copying. (I'd be mad if you took my bike, but if yo

> The web is an application platform, it stopped being about documents years ago. No, it's both. The problem is people not knowing which type of site they're creating and making an app when all they need is a page.

It would be very interesting to hear about the technical details!

Thanks for the comment, this is very helpful. Apart from the first sentence.

Yes. In your first scenario P and Q get 10 votes each. In your second they get sqrt(75) + sqrt(25) = 13 point something.

There are a few mathematical reasons. I forget the details, but I remember that a key point is to consider marginal cost: the derivative of a quadratic is linear. I think the Central Limit Theorem is also relevant, as someone else here poin

If you reread the previous paragraph, the background is that some people focus on the difference in fertility across religions. The point being made is that socioeconomic conditions are more important.

Yes -- as a runner it is extremely common for me to be hidden by the A pillar and almost run over. These are extremely clear-cut situations, e.g. someone rolls up to a stop sign as I'm entering an intersection. When the car doesn'

To get copyright on a digital work you must submit+register a copy. Once the copyright expires, Library of Congress hosts it as a torrent. Max copyright term 20 years, and/or fee increasing exponentially to renew each year.

That's not really compatible with the history of AI, where designing systems to solve a problem has traditionally been considered in scope. Seems that, like many people, Chollet wants to think of AI in terms of AGI (artificial general

Not really, AI is more of a large collection of activities. I would distill it down to "problem-solving". The irony is that once you solve a problem, it's not a problem, so people's natural reaction is to only call thing

This is a great post but I have one disagreement about proof of work. At the point that one entity controls 51% reliably and consistently, presumably users abandon the cryptocurrency altogether. So any discussion of what the steady-state lo

I'd like to see a side-by-side comparison. A projector will have problem with direct sunlight on the screen, but so will a TV. I've found projectors okay in a reasonably bright room, depending what's on screen.

It seems okay to use both uppercase and lowercase versions at the same time. For example Ξ is a set and ξ is an element of the set.

I think the person meant that it only took seconds of total contact time to cause an infection. Even if the infection took days to develop.

Nice! I've seen lowercase pi used to represent a permutation, also seen it used to represent a price in mechanism design.

Ha, nice idea! But most of these have a problem for me. varkappa -- there is already kappa, and one definitely shouldn't use both. varsigma -- looks too much like zeta to me, others may differ. And there is already sigma, one probably

Dunno, seems like the lesson anyone would have learned in 2020 is “the fed will save you and all losses are extremely temporary”, which is not like a real downturn.

D'oh. Misread and thought you were correcting the last two letters. Sceptre, not Spectre. https://www.sceptre.com/

by bo1024 5y ago
Yes, I meant Sceptre. I mentioned Walmart because that's the place I know of where you can buy them, I don't think Walmart owns them. Yes it's a dumb TV. But I don't think the screen quality is considered very good.

Projectors - great. Scepter brand tv - Walmart -not greatest quality, but at least it’s dumb.
