I mean, each new version is separate, correct? So the only change that can happen under you is when something is backported. How often does that happen for a gpu driver, and how far back does that go?

Sure, but a reseller could resell it under the first sale doctrine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

aliexpress does that for anything on mobile that it thinks is sex related, which is occasionally annoying when it gets something wrong, but is definitely not wrong in this situation.

I honestly am not sure where to look for dividend reinvestment for ftse 100 returns, so I guess I'll take your word for it, but I know that the european and london exchanges haven't done as well as the US. What metric are you usin

Sales taxes generally go up in states with low income taxes fwiw.

Observer bias arguably. If they are working from home, rather hard to meet them.

True, but the dividend, even reduced, buys you more stock when the market is down. Stocks generally have done well long term.

Given that the monitor is a big part of power draw, it will probably last longer than that with the lid closed. Of course if you lose power, you probably lose the wifi router it's connected to anyway.

No, all strings theoretically exist in 𝛑 given enough digits, so longer strings don't reduce probability of existence, they just mean that it will take more digits to find them.

It's not actually a documentary, more like a loose semi fictional adaption of a book.

Can you point to any empirical basis like a study for that statement? Here's a paper called "The Effects of Liberal Arts Experiences on Liberal Arts Outcomes" that seems to suggest otherwise. https://www.wabash.ed

This is good advice. I've been helping my partner learn javascript (she's smart and talented but hasn't learned programming), and the other thing I'd add is that a lot of the time her questions are about how you would

Funny you say that not all kids are meant to go to college or university, talk about useful skills, and then talk about people being taught dependence. One of the main benefits of a liberal arts education is honing critical thinking. In a w

Because collections of people organized into corporations have greater bargaining power than individuals in negotiations. Traditionally the answer to that is unions or professional group who can bargain on behalf of all their members, but i

Epic is fine with the appstore, but it wants to handle it's own in-app payments. You can have an app store with a separate in app payments; Uber does for example. Epic says as much in it's argument for a preliminary injunction.* S

I mean, if your business model is predicated on violations of the law, maybe you aren't a viable business as currently structured, and should restructure to be in compliance with the law?

Basically this. As best I can tell, most of the flexibility Uber and Lyft want is the flexibility to pay people less and give them less benefits and prevent them from being able to unionize/organize effectively.

Wait, your contention is that paying poor people more doesn't effect poverty rates, and you are asking other people for citations, not citing something of your own? You might find this CBO report useful. https://www.cbo.gov&

I know a fair number of people moving away because it's too expensive. I think it's important to recognize that unless you know people from a broad selection of socioeconomic groups, it's easy to have observer bias.

I mean I'm not disagreeing with your overall premise but I think you are ignoring other categories: street wear, club wear, and just plain uniforms for service workers.

That's not true. A company can offer self-employed insurance, or extend a group plan to contractors. https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/small-business/of...

The idea that employees can't have flexibility is BS though.

If the government had a free filing system that showed you what you owed, that would probably be less costly for everyone. Then they could hire everyone at turbotax to go after people dodging taxes. The fact that we've continually shru
