I'm in Germany and the last four times I bought via thinkpad-forum.de. As the name says, it's a board for Thinkpads which includes a marketplace. From my experience, it's considerably cheaper than buying in shops or on Ebay,

It's not quite the same, but Calibre can actually generate epubs from websites. There's a recipe called "HN with comments links" which will create an epub with the articles from the current front page. It works surprisin

From the article: > But Green and Moffat inferred that the Copenhagen physicists had not “windowed” the two sets of noise data. If that is true, that would be a rookie mistake.

I know it's not a popular topic around here, but I'm confused that corporate taxes are not mentioned at all. Wasn't one major incentive for creating research labs that such investments in R&D were tax deductible, and the

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICS the core voltage of the i9 1,52V. So with 254W, that thing really draws 167 amps? I guess every μΩ of resistance counts here or the board just explodes?

Vitamin D has long been staple in the "anti-aging" business, and this is something I guess many people around here are very interested in, to put it mildly.

While that may be true, I'd really like a better source than a channel which otherwise deals with "supplements that lengthen telomeres" or the age-old sauna-detox myth.

The Google engineer should read Google's terms of service which explicitly states that you may not do that (see my reply above).

No, Google is not consistent in the slightest, because their terms of service directly contradict this statement: "Developer credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) are intended to be used by you and identify your API Cli

To this day I have no idea how one should handle client secrets in (F)OSS applications, and I'm often wondering if I'm the only one. I guess what this text says in 4.13 is "just don't put it somewhere for anyone to see&q

Yes, I really hope that JMAP succeeds and applaud Fastmail for taking this on. The problem of course is that there's a huge drag in getting new protocols like these established. One problem is that Fastmail works with Cyrus, but Doveco

So how do you fight mutation? By avoiding further spread of the virus. So really, this "danger of mutation" talk does not add anything to the discussion. In fact, it could equally well happen that the virus mutates to something le

This is actually surprisingly cheap. My guess is the real margin is in the tests itself, which you must buy from Roche as well.

SK does 10.000 tests per day with test kits which they could quickly produce but which involve a lot of manual steps and hence man power. You could replace all that with 2.5 of these huge Roche machines. So for really high throughput you
