You might listen to the podcasts. They are good and they are well researched. Listen: I met Kissinger a few times and spent a few decades of my life working with foriegn policy wonks. He was a monster beyond compare. And I'll just add

He is testing by running many many tracks at once -- different DAWs have very different performance profiles when running more than 50 tracks... and some DAWs (I'm looking at you, Ableton) have utterly bizarre performance, CPU-wise, mo

The methology used in these tests is utter nonsense. Yes, there is something to be learned by his results but it has a the very least 50% to do with DAW internals and CPU vs the CPUs themselves. He used large numbers of tracks to test which

it would be a funny joke if you were joking. you don't resolve anxiety by adding more capacity to endure it (resilience.) Instead you need to address the root causes— most often maladaptive strategies learned in childhood that need to

I'm sure I'm not reading the room well, but maybe don't seek to profit from an event that is ruinous to the wider world? Better answer: read The Big Short.

I use preview all day, every day, often with dozens of files open, including full scans of the full OED (each pdf 100s of MB). It occasionally will hang when I "print to PDF" with a large document, but other than that no issues to

i hear you and I don't disagree. That said: I feel pretty OK about selling my house that has appreciated >100% in 8 years (east LA) and renting a nicer house for a little less money. Could be that I'm wrong, but at the very lea

A stack cutter and a scansnap sheet scanner can make any book into a DRM free pdf. That's what I do.

Respectfully, this question sounds like it is coming from a context of the US being a nation that deals with other regimes fairly and in good faith. This is not at all the case, most especially in the Caribbean and Central America. The crim

If you're going to use that kind of argument, re: global/network effects of a government as complicit in negative outcomes of actions in other countries... the USA is by far the worst offender. It could be argued that the questiob

He didn’t apologize authentically. He might not be capable of it. And... if he did it doesn’t at all follow that his apology would be accepted. It is neither timely, nor adequately sincere and it doesn’t indicate that he is taking appropria

Florida has restricted test availability until mid May, had fired a data scientist who contends they are juking their numbers and has been (along with several other states) not counting deaths of people with covid symptoms as covid if the p

and that is why the right to assemble is called an inherent right. it is owned and arbitrated ONLY by the individual. I know that this stuff seemed so boring in civics class, but it is all really rational. You cannot limit free assembly, be

if everyone that protested self isolates at all other times for 20 days after they stop protesting, yes, I agree.

Recalibrate your assessment with the 14-21 day incubation rate factored in and with a critical eye on states like Florida, who are actively trying to minimize reported cases/deaths.

One can support the rights of any americans to freely assemble while being puzzled and horrified at the reason for the protest. To wit: I would support the right of assembly for anti-vaccination advocates and would support the ACLU in defen

Pretty typical of everyone that I have (anecdotally) ever met who contends that black violence on whites is the primary issue. They say one thing based on their intuition and when they hear any response that complicates their view they are

From what I see about half the cost is the admin overhead and another huge chunk is providers billing very high rates because they end up paying a lot less to the insurance companies. If you want to optimize the lowest fruit is the admin ov

This is simply not a compelling argument against reform. It is a sad story and surely there will be people like this abusing any system, but making people face down bankrupts and death of loved ones is not the correct incentive against abus
