I think the keyboard on my T430s is the best keyboard I have ever used. It feels perfect to use. I love it and I get annoyed with anyone else's laptop. I haven't had any of your problems.

His examples did not require you to buy a ticket to the expo or have proof you were actually attending the event.

Out of curiosity, isn't it a violation of copyright to make an academic article from a paid database available publicly?

Lesson number 1 is unequivocally wrong and contradictory with the start of the article. He says you shouldn't invest your money in single stocks, but then advocates for you to invest your money (by way of forgoing salary in favor of equity) into a start up company with (by definition) no track record of success or guaranteed future. Not to mention that when the start-up tanks (which it will do statistically) you will both lose your salary and your investments/equity will be worthless.

Are you confusing row headers and column headers? I have the same version as you and the row headers got funky when zoomed out.

The thing that always drives me nuts with YouTube ads is when I look up an ad (usually a movie trailer) and then I am forced to watch another ad before I watch the ad I wanted to see.

I've always thought YouTube should charge corporations to host their content. Then instead of placing ads in front of Aunt Sally's cat video, the corporations more aggressively make ads that are interesting on their own (Like Old Spice. People look up their ads, they don't need to be held hostage to view them).

Does anyone know the details behind the 21 day time period for declaring someone to be infection free? Is that some kind of biological max for how long the virus can live or is it a statistics thing where the virus is not there 95% of the time?

I understand that is massive, but aren't computers today doing things that seemed utterly impossible forty years ago?

It would be cool if it was a product they sold though to big conference like settings. I am sure it would be easy to "game" but I bet people would still be thankful for the opportunity to engage strangers. Even if it would be only to show them how to "cheat"!

It is the price of a quality tennis racquet and comparable to running GPS watches which perform a similar function (though with different hardware and a different sport). Not to mention tennis is a pretty pricy sport. Frankly $200 sounds cheap to me.

How can you say that no classical computer will ever be able to handle a simulation that big? Where is the bottleneck?
