I agree with the fabricated outrage but there is an interesting difference between diet, exercise, tutoring. Your descendents also get your enhancement for free. (Or at least 50% off)

Pretty sure he did believe, otherwise he wouldn't have made the infamous blogpost encouraging p-hacking.

I've had two kavalans while traveling in china recently, both were forgettable. Decent enough but very expensive for what they were. Both were bourbon cask so maybe another expression would be better. Compass Box has never let me down, though this is not a luxury whiskey is the only super high end one I've ventured into.

Westfield valley Fair does, they have a system that will let you know where you parked if you provide it your license plate details. If it doesn't find an exact match you get to train the algorithm for them.

Oregon trail on an apple 2 in kindergarten.

Then taking apart my parent's IBM work computer to see how it worked, mostly got it back together..

Found a book on basic in the library around age 8 and was hooked.

That wasn't an aspect ratio point, it was about the stereoscopic requirement of display headsets.

Both eyes see mostly the same "8K" of content, just from a different perspective.

edit: Actually that's not quite right, even if you forgo a stereoscopic mode, the same content has to be shown to each eye. It's not like having dual monitors on a desk.

If you are memory throughput bound, and both processors are working independently (think embarrassingly parallelizable problems) you'd probably benefit from the total throughput change.

Otherwise it's pretty easy to get worse performance due to numa issues

> It's bad enough that I have to disable tap-to-click

The crazy thing is that the "full" click is entirely simulated. I don't use MBPs anymore but the only place I had to turn off that feature was there as well.

I just put a threadripper build together and was surprised with an extremely difficult and finicky foxconn socket.

Takes a while for my monitor to wake up and was sure I had killed it on first boot with the stream of cryptic messages from the motherboard, but it was fine.

It's a natural extension of awful PowerPoints

Pay some hourly nominal fee, and a "bonus" for how well it classifies some reserved data? Proof of work could be the fit.

The other advantage is that once the seismic wave is detected, you can transmit that info at lightspeed vs the 10s of km/h that seismic waves propagate.

As an American who has worked at IBM, I'm also not surprised that this didn't find success.

They messed up my own payroll, by sending too little, then too much, then we had a 6 month back and forth trying to resolve it.

It looks like they sell lots of small batches, a particular batch might be 574, another 100, no limit to the number of batches though.

It's fine if you can invalidate the secret after some finite number of tries and block a particular actor from attacking many accounts. And there's no leaking cross sites if someone obtains and breaks the salted hash db.
