That was my experience verbatim. The employee even suggested going to Costco specifically, as he thought it was ridiculous that they weren't covering them.

Dammit, was a mental lapse. Appreciate the correction!

Stoicism appears to have had a great deal of influence on Jewish writing at the time. Have a look at "St. Paul and Stoicism" if you are so inclined. Interesting paper.

Agreed. I was thinking something like a GFCI Outlet Tester would have a better chance of sticking around... Make it seem like the electrician forgot to retrieve it but will be back for it in a few.

Agreed, and the resources that a commute consumes (time, wear and tear on a vehicle, fuel, mental reserves either sitting in traffic or dealing with other people on public transportation, etc) are not considered in compensation...

Your most valuable resource, time, which can be neither replenished nor its true quantity known, is being wasted for very little gain.

Suburbanite here. I use mine year round to: make home improvement store runs, haul yards of mulch each spring, transport camping gear, and perform random tasks that seem to come up all the time that require capacity beyond a midsize SUV.

Agreed. In some ways, this situation couldn’t have happened at a better time for Intel.

That's a fair distinction. I did some digging, and it appears unassisted suicide only has common law implications in most states since the 90's; however, as of 2019, only 8 states have laws on the books legalizing assisted suicide (https://apnews.com/article/7f0fe9d789294a02852c1669c892f382).

The irony being... isn't euthanasia the ultimate freedom? If it is our body, and we have full autonomy as long as we aren't causing direct harm, the "American Way" should be to allow the freedom of choice as to what happens to said body.

I appreciate the feedback. Are there any other resources you would recommend for novices looking into the field? Thank you.

It just feels like stubbornness to me at this point. I don't think there would be enough overlap that adding touch to the mac would reduce tablet sales... totally different experiences in a lot of ways.

I've had touch on my last 2 Thinkpads and find that I utilize it quite a bit. I haven't noticed a ton of fingerprints, but I also take care of my equipment (probably a little more fastidiously than most...). Having the ability to do a little pen work in certain apps has been clutch, and if I wanted to utilize the pen or touch more... I would get a more dedicated device(e.g. Thinkpad Yoga or Surface Pro). Feel like this would be similar workflow in the Apple world... Macbook with some helpful touch... iPad when you need to focus on touch...

I would typically down-vote this kind of statement for being snarky and without much substance; however, in this case, I feel like it really fits the situation.

There is a clear need for regulatory action to prevent further abuse from market leaders.

Honestly, my sister is a very anxious person, and my nephew had a lot of complications with Crohn's prior to starting infusions. I think it is more precautionary on her part than anything.

Before the first infusion, she was advised by hospital staff that the insurance company might refuse coverage for infusions onsite if the procedure was ever performed in-home.

My nephew receives Remicade infusions to treat Crohn's Disease. He typically receives the treatment at a local, children's hospital; however, due to Covid-19, my sister elected to have an in-home infusion performed. Appears to be a fairly efficient process.

Interestingly, their insurance company has been trying to push them into performing his infusions at home for a couple years, as it is more cost effective. My sister has to fight them on it every couple of months to continue having them performed at the hospital.

A ranking of used voices would be fascinating. Especially broken down by user statistics.

Have a similar, but slightly more horrific, story with a Thinkpad X230T. I was working from home after the birth of our first child (so... clearly not in my right mind...), and I decided it would be a good idea to carry my laptop on top of a way too full basket of laundry up the stairs to save an extra trip. I wasn't paying attention... tilted the basket at the very top of the stairs... and my Thinkpad rolls down the stairs along its edges... full steam ... and slams into the wall at the bottom.

I pick up the Thinkpad expecting the worst... and the only damage was a very slight opening along the seam of the external battery... not a scratch on the actual unit itself... no components jarred free... nothing...

Been buying Thinkpads ever since...

P1 hits the sweet spot of thin AND pro. Same size as the X1 Extreme series, but geared toward business users. You can actually open it up and do some upgrades. RAM up to 64gb, up to a xeon processor, and the 1st gen is able to include nvidia quaddro gpus.

To get a sense of the difference, do you mind sharing your home country?

It is always the data. Everyone stores everything these days, even if it is not immediately acted upon/sold. If it is not immediately used, it is still a bargaining chip for valuations/acquisitions.

I don't always agree with their conclusions, but I can't argue with Wirecutter's methodology; their write-ups are well researched, documented, and overall fairly exhaustive in detail.

My preference would be both. Take notes during the lecture, and then receive the professor's outline. This would allow me to focus and reinforce lecture material during the first iteration, while also seeing where the holes in my knowledge reside (e.g. what I considered important during the lecture/note-taking vs. what the professor deemed important).

At that point, I can refactor my notes including the professor's outline, adding details I missed or elaborating on parts of the outline that might have been sparse.

Agreed. I would see it as a listing of companies with appropriate citations for the claims as to steer clear of defamation. However, you are still going to be dealing with constant C&D's as a result of the content, regardless of its merit.

Dropped my x230t down a flight of stairs...slammed into the wall at the bottom...only damage was a very slight expansion in the seam of the external battery. Still in amazing shape using the same battery almost 5 years since the drop. Great little laptop!

For me it would be less useful due to the similarity(e.g. I had little to no difficulty learning Spanish as a native English speaker. Sure, there were differences, but the similarities allowed me to focus on and pick up the difference more quickly without being overwhelmed). It would be like going from Java to C#. Some differences, but very few because the base is so similar.

I should have specified it was learning Koine Greek that helped (Latin was somewhat of a bridge that made it less painful, because Latin also relies heavily on declension/conjugation instead of straight word order). Koine Greek is wildly different than English. I think it would be the difference between something like going from an OOP language to something like Prolog.

Indirect relation. It forced me to think differently about language and syntax in general. For example, English (and many other languages) relies on a word order typology. Greek relies on inflection and declension over word order, which is wildly different.

A couple undergraduate classics courses would be far cheaper and much more useful in that regard. On a similar note, studying Greek and Latin in college gave me a large leg up in other areas of study (e.g. I had a much greater mastery of English and writing, programming language syntax was far easier to learn, etc.). Classical languages are far more useful than people realize.

If you don't believe this should be on HN, flagging the post would be a better use of your time and a more clear adherence to the guidelines that you appear to think are not being followed by this submission.

Thank you for the links. I always did well with math classes in school, but my retention was always so so after passing the final. Will give this a try for a more lasting understanding of the subject!

Instead of throwing out my notes, I tend to "refactor" them multiple times, condensing them down to the bare minimum. By the time I get them to that point, I no longer need them. I also tend to utilize multiple mediums: first note taking is writte; then I condense them to a digital format; I print that off and highlight, work in the margins, etc.;I will sometimes rewrite them a final time, depending on difficulty of the material.

I agree with you and appreciate the granularity that the distinctions afford.
