I have a question for the Americans. Is it right that, in the Electoral College system, the Electors aren’t actually aligned to a party, but just more likely to vote for one party over another?

Keep me one good reason why total number of votes isn't done for president?
DeepPan

The result of political correctness, millenials and “no winners, but everyone gets a medal for taking part”
patrice

Because that would favor big cities/states over rural areas and the govt should represent them as well

Trump does NOT need to raise taxes to spend more on infrastructure. This can be easily financed via borrowing. In fact, it is much better economically to finance public investment with borrowing not taxes.

I was looking at 3k Euro.. which was definitely too much for me

Serenak
19:49:04
16GB is a bit of a deal breaker for a certain section of the market but very very many people over estimate how much RAM they neeed
DeepPan
19:49:16
At the moment the pricing between MacBook and MacBook Pro are way too close, not a broad enough laptop range except for the stock wind-down MacBook Air
campionuk
19:49:25
@bobbeach dont forget the US increase wasnt as much as the UK increase
patrice
19:49:25
I’m fine with 16GB
DeepPan
19:49:40
… but is a wider range if you bring iPad into the mix
Serenak
19:50:22
and also modern computers now hive a lot of stuff out to more specialised chips GPU, the new TouchBar processor, etc
maccast
19:51:29
Hey @bobbeach It's a premium when compared to machines with the EXACT same specs, but the difference is not that which more than Apple has always charged as a "premium". That all I'm saying
patrice
19:51:59
@maccast: There isn’t a machine with the exact same specs!!!
maccast
19:52:29
Right, but there are many that are VERY close

@maacast Depends on what you care about
campionuk
19:53:15
ha, awesome @ewen
maccast
19:53:18
So if you add USD$100-300 for the "premium" RAM and SSD Appl is using then you can see they are still pricing at about a $200-300 "Apple" premium tax above that
Serenak

I am running my current work desktop on 16GB - I incresead it from 8GB after about 4 years

problem is my problem with buyng 16 now would be nowhere to go when 16 isn’t enough

@bobbeach You can't go above 16GB anyway

I suspect the real problem is heat…

The example of a manager from Hamburg shows how users are naked in the net.His data set includes, among other things, a series of links to an online storage service, in which he has filed documents for a house construction. Anyone who knows these addresses may obtain bank statements, architectural drawings, payroll statements with references to the employer's bonus system, a copy of the ID card, and detailed

extracts from the documents relating to a bank loan.

The name and address of the manager and his wife are just as visible as telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Criminals could use this documentation to hijack the identity of the man or blackmail him with the details of his surfing behavior.

To reach the information, the NDR Reporters have founded a dummy company, which is supposedly active in the "big data" business. Several companies were ready to sell the web data of German Internet users - a company offered the now evaluated data as a free sample. Data packages like this offer countless companies.
