I have the same one, with the high end CPU (2.13GHz) and panel. I'm waiting for a refresh, the X260 may be an option. I've given it a 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM. And while I like the resolution on a 12", I often try to adjust the ang

This an 4k/5k resolutions.

by tertius 11y ago
Given that they don't come in 4K resolution (I have a Yoga Pro 2) it should be quite a bit more usable. But I agree, it's been hit or miss for me as well.

I don't know if the X1 is a direct competitor to the XPS13. Probably more the Yoga 900.

Oh yes. I have an old Lenovo X200s and a new-ish Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The trackpoint is A LOT more * accurate than the pad. And particularly so for business applications like spreadsheets, word processors etc. Also much easier when you'r

Technically, if they had to spend $x thousands of dollars they are already in the hole.

May it be that the circumstances are more than just "privacy being stripped." For instance, what does the administration have to gain from spying en masse vs. what does that administration have to gain by spying specifically on an

I've not been in Houston long (6 years) but this December also has been much warmer than I've experienced. Anecdata ftw!

So I'll take one of the statements to ask a question. > This was the highest for November in the 1880–2015 record, surpassing the previous record set in 2013 by 0.27°F (0.15°C) So the NOAA claims that this November was 0.15C higher

The desired outcome is a change in performance relative to a standard that has been set. That's all that needs to be measured. And I agree it may have other effects, but what we're interested in is the desired result of the sergea

I read your larger comment and I don't agree with most of what you're saying as a generalization. This though: > Until it's distilled to common practice, people shouldn't really touch it with a bargepole. I can agree

> "improved performance" can't really be defined If performance cannot be measured then the sergeant shouldn't be yelling in the first place. Performance is set at a very clear standard, if you underperform consistent

I can relate to this. I feel that the chasm between the lay person and the MD has widened tremendously in our lifetimes (I'm in my 30s). This also, unfortunately has made the average patient be almost completely uninformed. They demand

To get 100% certainty, yes. But this isn't generally required to show close to certain probability. If the same is large enough (doesn't have to be very large) and controlled for possible bias, then the test should reveal the effe

How can I get in contact with you? I'm in the same boat.

The one tells you, "Go see a doctor" and the other one tells you very little, if you don't know how to interpret what it's saying.

by tertius 11y ago
I agree here, though I personally wouldn't trust a single doctor to him/herself be able to parse, as you say, the research. Research is written at a peer level and most doctors are not trained or don't care to know how to int

by tertius 11y ago
Probably, but your ability to process the information is severely limited to someone who has be trained on how to do so. And I'm not saying that your doctor has been trained to do so.

Saying that "He's rich he can give a lot. I'll give when I get rich." When in fact the OP is already in a position to give, he just needs some perspective.

Easy access to debt is another economic asset that most of the world does not have. If you can feed yourself by going into debt, then you have purchasing power. You need something (except if you're a student) to guarantee the loan.

> There are almost 47 million people living in poverty in the US Look at the definition of poverty and you'll agree it's certainly a form of poverty, but again compared to the majority of the planet doesn't really cut it.

Anyone downvoting the parent needs some serious perspective.
