I have recently moved to a macbook pro for work, having used Ubuntu on my prior machine. In my experience, the mac (despite having significantly more modern specs) is more buggy and just not quite as snappy for these…
Contraction last 2 quarters in South Africa
I'm not sure I understood your comment correctly - did you return to the same institution 10 years later, or did you go to a new one?
LiFePO4 batteries are significantly safer for a penalty of 14% less energy density
Do mean that a government is less trustworthy than an independendent corporation? That a corporation will better look after the interests of its citizens than a government?
Depending on the class of Bluetooth, the signal strength is around 100 times less than a cellphone.
Some people say this kind of populist stuff (and worse) on campus here too. I feel like some of the polarising optimisations in social media that have happened in the US etc spill over to here - but the stakes are much…
My anecdote: In undergraduate engineering, a lot of the people around me were on ritalin. I never felt disadvantaged because I felt it didn't give anyone a clear advantage in the hardest subjects like mathematics or…
What would be the sort of dispute you envisage?
For me, in both of these videos, the audio is severely mangled (across different browsers). Have never experienced anything like this on youtube before. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Edit:…
Also available in SA. You have to share your facebook data with the mobile company though.
There was a recent Icelandic (I think) TV show with a premise along these lines
It was a different time - my understanding is that having a multiply redundant system was important for an isolated pariah state. Think of it like the strategic petroleum reserves in certain isolated states of today. Of…
Fair point, but choosing the electricity crisis as an example is not helping your claim - the Apartheid lot left us with something like 50% overcapacity and almost the cheapest electricity in the world at the time. We…
Well, there's an exodus from the rest of the country to the W. Cape. They call it 'semigration'. Property was up 12% a while ago when all other provinces saw a decline I think (except Gauteng; they were up 3%). As a…
The people you are speaking about, the Bushmen, were wiped out by the Nguni pastoralists and the European settlers. A few descendents remain. They are not in power here. As for Westerners... they haven't been in power…
There is at least one self-sufficient desalination ship for hire that could apparently just about cover the entire city's needs on its own. It is also apparently very exensive so we are hoping to avoid that. I'd expect…
The heaviest offenders have also had mandatory electronic limiters fitted to their properties, permitting no more than 350L per property per day (as of now)
Yes, U-boats sank merchant shipping in Table Bay
On point 4 - my understanding is that the poorest areas (which are at most risk of disease outbreaks) will not have their water cut. Rather, everyone else will have their water cut first while some water still remains…
Have a margin - somewhat more bowls and plates than you actually need.
Don't know about other countries but in S. Africa it also exists. We don't have Adderall as far as I'm aware but I know of people who use Ritalin and say it has improved their daily lives.
Thanks for your explanation, I did not know that this was the case. I had until now assumed that words are a kind of medium for conveying the underlying thoughts which are abstract and exist separately. Observations…
What do they mean by putting things into words? When thinking, it seems that the assumption is that we are silently putting our thoughts into <insert language> words? This is by experience not the case anyway, right?
Serious question: does anyone know where to get some good in-depth data which deal with the middle class's fortunes in Europe, and possibly some interpretations?
