No, the hypothetical assumes that 50% of all assets are passively-investable. 50% low-energy, 50% high-energy. There are a lot of brilliant, resourceful people in that high energy crowd who are establishing the share prices that the low-e

If you're implying that TaskWarrior is a tool and that org-mode is a formatting language (or file format), then you're way off to begin with. Org-mode does have a specific format for its files. But much of its power derives from

Not a great analogy. The designed use-case for a book is to be held in your hands and read. Whereas burning is almost never desired, generally only happens if something goes awry. Given that two-hand holding is the norm for paper books I

I'm not commenting pro or con on any politician. What I'm saying is that, _if_ someone wants to do what they can to fight climate change, voting for politicians who share their goals would be one thing they could do that would he

Which politician is more likely to take steps helpful for climate change: (a) one who "claims" to be eco-conscious, or (b) one who thinks climate change is a hoax? Are you seriously telling me that a person who wants to do what

"As I understand it, Microsoft has copied the Linux kernel system call interfaces and provided their own underlying implementation." Not sure your understanding is correct, but in any case is that not precisely what Wine does on L

Same here, great experience with Linux on UX305FA. I switched to multi-boot setup, shrinking Windows partition and giving Ubuntu 14.04 half of the 256GB SSD. Switched window manager to i3, which is excellent, can't imagine going back

My impression, too, the author explicitly says he understands value of unit testing and will continue to do it, but he's going to give up on the idea of writing tests before he writes the actual program code. Strange, from what I can

Ahh, yes, in Freemind there is, strictly speaking, only one parent. I think they adopted this restriction because folding/collapsing of nodes is hard to define and/or hard to understand without this restriction, and folding is an

Exactly. The org-mode -->> freemind conversion works fine, translating textual hierarchical outline to freemind's graphical representation. I don't think the current exporter has support for exporting non-hierarchical link

If all you're doing now is plain text with bullets there may be nothing to gain. If, however, you have main bullet items that then have subitems, you'd gain the advantage of "collapsing" items (what in some coding envir

I don't know about Dominic System, but Memory Palace method is not about analyzing and/or grokking relations between items at all. It's simply a method that helps you remember stuff. Outlining is not about remembering stuff

Orgmode supports export to the graphical mind-mapper, Freemind. Graphviz/dot is supported as a language you can use within org documents as part of org-babel functionality, but I don't think there's actually an exporter to g

I agree, Babel is often overlooked subset of orgmode's features. The linked article that's spawning these comments doesn't do an especially good job of explaining why a developer would should want to use orgmode. Common prob

Mind map is not really equivalent unless you restrict connections to rigid hierarchy, but ability to make more flexible connections is part of why you'd choose mind map software over an outliner. FWIW, orgmode does export outlines to F

If I have my phone in hand and it was already open to a number dial pad then maybe it's easier to press 1,2,3. But often, even when I"m already in call, I have to (1) press a side button to turn screen on, then (2) look to find b

No, the non-salary income is not "qualified dividends" and does not qualify for the 15% rate. It is taxed as "ordinary income", just like the salary. The advantage of S-Corp taxes has nothing to do with lower tax rates

You think blunders in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere contribute to U.S. status as global superpower? I'm pretty sure a stronger case could be made that they've detracted from the status and influence the U.S. could have

I agree. I did eventually find the pricing info in the demo, but it's not at all immediately obvious that the 'demo' plays double duty as the site's actual FAQ page. And why hide pricing info in a FAQ anyway? Pricing s

I don't think anybody would judge him badly for not doing what he's unable to do. Of course not, just go back to Hume's "ought implies can". I do think, however, that it does make sense to question whether he might

Similar idea as old VB, but in no way equivalent. Much better language, much better component system.

EDIT: Mine is a UX305FA, the one with less powerful Core M processor. It's slightly slower than my Thinkpad x220, which has an older i7. So it's not a powerful machine, and I assume less powerful processor means better battery

Sounds about right, I have 6 cell in my x220 (with Win7) and I'd guess its life is around 2.5 hours with those settings. It's short enough that I don't feel comfortable using it on the go, keep x220 at home almost always p

I don't remember. I would check power usage with powertop and make sure you've got no 'bad' indicators on the 'Tunables' tab (actually I think I still have one bad). On the 'Device Stats' tab you sh

I also have UX305 and I easily get at least 6 hours under moderate loads. Eight or nine with light web-browsing (avoiding javascript pages that spike cpu usage), ten or more with lighter use (text editor). I installed Ubuntu 14.x and i3 wi

Yes. To the question of why is the world here religion answers, "Because God created it." But no religion deals with the obvious follow up question, "Then who created God?" That question is not allowed in the religiou

You sound like a twenty-something whose historical perspective is lacking. It's been several generations, probably more, since that kind of job (expected lifetime employment with pension) has been widespread.
