Yes, I've been happy with the Brother HL-L3230CDW. Seems to work fine with Linux, Android, iOS and Chromebook clients on the same network as well, which is nice.

It feels like this is something that should be easily amenable to statistical analysis. Large numbers of people get diagnosed with lung cancer; smoking rates vary widely and smoking is typically recorded in patient histories; typical radon

Brinkmanship only works if there's a real risk of going over the edge. Is this the roll of the dice that's going to come up snake-eyes? Probably not, but no-one really knows.

They address this in the "Limitations" section (don't put a lot of stock in the absolute values - look at relative differences within the sample): One issue to keep in mind with the Sapien Labs dataset is that the participan

Yeah, pretty clear they didn't read as far as "4. Limitations" which anticipates and discusses this point.

2nd grade, OK. Get back to me when you have a 7th grader who's complaining about being out of the loop because their social groups are mostly using group chats on phones to stay in touch. I never thought I'd be telling my kid to

The Federal bill I was most recently looking at didn't require a separate proclamation to enter into force - there were three commencement provisions, two based on the date of royal assent and one a fixed date: https://parli

The Governor General can refuse Royal Assent without causing a crisis, as long as it's a decision taken "in council", which essentially means as advised by the Prime Minister. Why would the PM advise the GG to withhold Royal

The range to the imaged satellite is overlaid on the images - it's between 90km and 130km over the sequence.

For an extreme version of this, see Truman relieving Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command during the Korean War.

Specifically I believe it involved a geometric construction for solving the cubics, which in some cases could not find a solution unless you allowed a square with "negative area".

It would be a somewhat safer place for life than within a galaxy proper - far less chance of a close approach by another star kicking your planet out of its solar system, less chance of taking a sterilising hit by a close by gamma ray burst

In the case of airlines it is just straight up protectionism. There's no national security risk there: if push came to shove in time of war the government could simply seize the assets and operate them as they saw fit.

The colours aren't actually part of the solution, right? That's just to make it easier to visually comprehend?

Switch the preferred network to 3G should disable VoLTE.

No? The effect of that is well-defined, and the cast is a pretty strong signal that the author is deliberately converting the value. Casts to unsigned that deliberately discard the high bits are relatively common.
