There are two types of laptop users - those wanting a portable machine, light, good enough for a short amount of ssh or vim and maybe a webpage or two
The other type are those looking for a luggable desktop, those who hotdesk but don’t really work on the go.
There’s then who want both, but that has proven to be a mugs game. No matter how much money you throw at it you end up with compromises on portability it power.
I for one stick with a 2015 era desktop and a 2013 11” MacBook air and don’t have problems.
At $10 an hour that would be $7m a day, $2.5b a year.
Alphabet's revenue is arround $144b a year, so it would cost 2% of revenue to review every single uploaded video. Clearly that's not going to be needed -- you only need to review those which
An important part of science is exposing it to the public. Concepts about the big bang aren't really relatable, which means little coverage, little funding, and the next generation of would-be scientists not being enthused by the possibilities. Hawking brought those concepts to the masses, which is a very important goal.
Hawking, in a large part due to his success in the face of his disability, attracted media attention that people like Peter Higgs just can't, and he did this while continuing to be a theoretical scientist (unlike people like Neill DeGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc, who are all very good at bringing concepts to the public, but don't practice themselves)
Funny that. I use Linux because it just works, macs are a pain and windows is just laughable.
What annoys me about the last decadeish of Mac developers is the terrible prevalence of things like "curl|bash", custom pacakage managers, unversioned software etc.
This could just be the company I work for, but as far as I'm concerned software is not released unless there is a collection of software and instructions on installing. Deb, rpm, even a rat all is fine. Anything that downloads something from a random website is not.
Now obviously Mac developers don't enforce this attitude, but it does seem to correlate.
Same issue in the Uk. Momentum (militant whacko commies) have been trying to claim everyone who is against May and her various ruinous policies should vote for Corbyn and his various ruinous policies.
Fortunately in the UK there's another voice at the table in between the extremes. People tend not to vote for them because of fear, and a misunderstanding of the soft power available in politics.
The GDPR fine is specially done some large multinationals can’t ignore it.
