Yes they can definitely help. You decide the compromise between better filtration, reduced airflow, and increasing the inlet size or ambient environment.
A more effective filter will reduce the amount of dust that gets in, but it will also reduce the amount of air. You can either monitor your temps with an applet, or just pay attention if you hear the fans spin up on high.
My computer is tucked into an opening in my desk, such that the airflow into the case and out of it isn't ideal. If I had thick, low-micron air filters, I'd probably move it out of the little cubbie so it would get better airflow.
If you add filters, it's probably a good idea to set a recurring calendar appointment every six months to quickly clean or replace the filters. Good filters capture dust - which will eventually clog them up if you go six years without cleaning the filters.
On the other hand, Facebook doesn't send a SWAT team into your house when you they think maybe you did something they don't like. Government has a legal monopoly on violence.
Agreed. My very first thought was that ads while paused was a creative alternative to other revenue sources. (Unfortunately, film crews don't work for free - not the crews who produce good shows).
As you said the audio thing is the catch. If I hit pause, quite often I want the thing to be quiet because I'm answering a call or whatever. This would be a good time to put up a still photo ad, like you'd have in a magazine or on a billboard.
FYI what I found with online school is that I did a lot of my school via my (large) smartphone. Mostly during the times I would have otherwise been on Slashdot. So I traded Slashdot time, arguing with MdSolar, for a degree in my field.
I expect my masters with be similar. I'll spend less time calling BeauHD an idiot, and instead so my phone time getting my masters.
You may be right, for "a kernel". You may even be right for the Windows kernel. On the other hand, at the time they wrote their kernel Microsoft wasn't exactly known for high quality, robust software. Their kernel source may well be an unmaintainable mess. A shit show even.
In the last couple years they've thrown away their browser and started fresh TWICE. They certainly could start fresh with a new kernel, one that has already been written for them.
The "roadmap" you linked to consists of this statement:
-- Certificates issued in October 2017 or later will be expected to comply with Chromeâ(TM)s Certificate Transparency policy in order to be trusted by Chrome --
I notice it is is December 2018. Chrome still trusts certs that don't have CT. They could not implement it as planned, because people weren't and aren't using it.
I make security scanning tools for a living. My team checks at least a dozen things for each certificate. CT isn't something we check, because nobody cares.
Several such compatiblilty layers already exist. Without Microsoft's help, or patents and copyrights. Microsoft could buy Codeweavers (Crossover) for less than Microsoft spends on toilet paper.
Projects like Wine have to develop a shim for each part without even seeing the code they are working with, much less being able to change anything. Microsoft would have the luxury of being able to adapt their systems to make compatibility easier. That makes the task easier than what Crossover and others are already doing.
Wine, Crossover, etc have to analyze each new update from Microsoft and try to catch up. Each update makes their job harder. If Microsoft owned the compatibility layer, each update would make the job *easier*. For example, whenever they dump their old browser they'd make the new one be Linux-friendly without any extra layer. Perhaps by starting with Chromium.
>The F&A costs are typically a percentage of the direct costs, for awards from federal agencies
Yes, with the US federal government, the way to get more money is to increase your expenses. You get more by wasting more. It's pretty much only the federal government that is that stupid. Roughly nobody else does that. Not even the Mexican government.
When SpaceX, ExxonMobil, or Mexico wanted something, we quoted them a price. If we found ways to do it more economically, such as moving from paper-based workflows to computer-based, the savings went in our pocket. If we wasted money by sticking with paper, the federal government would have paid us more to be wasteful, but we had only one federal grant. 90% of our deals were with sane people. Wasting money meant we'd be out that money.
Sometimes they bought instruction - we have a thousand Mexican government employees come for two weeks per year. Sometimes they bought a result. Sometimes they rented our specialized facilities for a day or a week. I don't think they ever did 1xx% of costs contracts, paying us more the more money we wasted. That would be dumb. That would be federal.
> I was paying about $800/quarter for tuition at that time (graduated 1999 and 2001)... where they stick it to you is room and board, which I think is up to about $4-5K/semester, and is required for freshmen and sophomores. $1000/mo or so and it's not even a proper apartment.
They put some of their top-rated programs online. No paying them for room and board. I'll listen to the lectures on my phone Bluetooth while I drive.
I believe their point is that there have been roughly zero stressful projects based on block chains.
The sole possible exception would be crypto currency, but let's have a look at that. A currency is supposed to be a medium of exchange (a way to set prices and pay for things) and a store of value (a way to keep money in the bank for later).
With Bitcoin's value having dropped about 80% over the last year, it's hardly a store of value. So it fails as a currency. You can price things in Euros or dollars, nobody sets prices in BTC.
Some people would argue that there has been the ONE single block chain based project that is successful, but even that one is far more hype than actual success.
Since no browsers use Certificate Transparency to warn against fake certs, I'm not sure it's a huge success.
Google created Certificate Transparency, yet when I go to a site with a cert that isn't using CT, I get no warning in Chrome. My Chrome is a couple months old, but I haven't heard that this has changed. When even the creator of the system doesn't use it, is it a big success?
My program is has unsually low costs because it's designed to, and it doesn't involve a lot of new cutting-edge research. They did the OMSCS for several years and it worked, so they've expanded those approaches.
Are you by chance familiar with Eddie Woo? He's a mathematics professor, mainly calculus, who has over a million subscribers on YouTube. He's been named Teacher of the Year by several organizations and there is even a postage stamp with his face on it. In other words, he's a really good teacher.
There are two ways to get the lecture part of learning calculus: A. Sit in a lecture hall and watch some random math prof's lecture. B. Watch Eddie Woo lecture, from your house. He recorded it two years ago.
How much does each cost? Constrast the price of a lecture hall (and associated parking lot) vs YouTube. Woo is probably a significantly better teacher, and the cost for the one of the best teachers in the world is approximately zero.
You may br familiar with the Artificial Intelligence course taught by Peter Norvig (Director of Research at Google, former head of Computational Science at NASA Ames Research Center) and Sebastian Thrun, former Stanford CompSci professional and founder of Google X and Google's self-driving car project. These are the top experts in the field. Their lectures are roughly free, simply because they are recorded rather than live.
Georgia Tech also does cutting-edge research, and those are paid for by grants or other external money from the people who want the research done. If SpaceX wants Georgia Tech to develop a new nano-material for their rockets, SpaceX pays for that. The two main funding sources for Georgia Tech are tuition and sponsored projects.
Where I worked before, an agency within the Texas A&M system, sponsored projects paid for not only their own direct costs, but also the cost of the buildings where those projects were done. In other words, the things we did for companies and other governments helped pay the regular classes for in-state students (which were sometimes free). Out of state paid more tuition than they cost; out of state students produced a profit. So much so that rather than cost the taxpayer money, we generated money for the taxpayer m
My program doesn't have a lot of original research, so the primary source of revenue is tuition. Government money is a pretty small piece. I'm an out-of-state student, so Georgia Tech is probably making a profit on me - I'm paying more than the cost. They've gotten their costs low by using appropriate technologies and processes.
Many people do 12-18 credits while working full time. Both my parents did, I did etc. If you're not working full time, 24 credits is completely doable.
The suggestion I made was to do 24 credits in two or three semesters - but only pay for one semester. Study your normal first semester courses *before* you officially start school (before you start paying).
Some schools will give you credit by exam - meaning you can pass the test and get credit. You can spend a year studying for those tests before you start paying for school. Other schools don't do credit by exam, but you can certainly study the material ahead of time, even read the entire textbook, beforehand.
You don't have to drive a Ferrari, and you don't have to go to Yale. You can choose a car and a school that's affordable.
I'm about to start my Master's degree at Georgia Tech, one of the best schools in the country for my field. It'll cost $10,000 - 20% tax credit = $8,000.
For my bachelor's I could have spent less for the same school I went to. I paid a total of $24,000 - $6,000 tax credit = $18,000.
A lot of schools have a cap on the tuition per semester so you can do 24 credits for the same price as 12. Many allow credit by examination. What I suggest to people now is to spend a 6-12 months studying before you officially enroll, then take the tests or submit the work so you get 9 credits in your first month of paying. Those kinds of strategies can bring the total cost for a bachelor's degree down to $9,000 after the tax credit.
I got my bachelor's at WGU, which is a state school. Halfway through school my income doubled partly because the final exams for some classes are industry certs like Cisco CCNA. So as a junior I had already earned several well-known certs as part of my classes.
> Ironically, most appraisals find the value of the home is just slightly higher than the agreed upon sale price.
I don't see anything ironic surprising about that. The appraiser is trying to determine how much someone would likely pay for the property, if the new owner or the bank wanted to sell it.
Supposed you see in one my posts I'm trying to sell a computer. BeauHD says he'll give me $1,000 for it. Nukenerd says he'll give me $1,100 and I agree to sell it to him for $1,100.
Roughly how much do you think someone might be willing to pay for that computer if Nukenerd decides to sell it somewhere else?
The amount someone IS paying for it, and the amount someone is selling it for, is a pretty darn good hint about how much someone would pay for it. Obviously it's not the *only* way to estimate how much someone would pay, so it's not the only thing appraisers use. The actual price it is selling for is a pretty darn good indicator of what it would sell for next month, though.

Putting big deals together is the one thing Trump has done well in his life. He churns my stomach, so I'd hope we'd at least get some good deals from his presidency.
Actually one other thing he does well - drumming up publicity, getting press. Being President comes with automatic press, though, so his penchant for getting attention isn't something I'd expect the country to benefit from.
