crazy how HP is still selling this.


I’m seeing it being sold by a third party seller (assuming it isn’t hp using some other name. These could be overstock thats been sitting in a warehouse somewhere.


This is a pretty smart move. I believe Iceland is doing this to increase their diversity in their genetic pool https://www.brightfocus.org/alzheimers-macular-degeneration-...


Wouldn't offering residential visas do a better job of that by giving marriages to foreigners a better chance of staying unified there?


Wouldn't that make UK the next hotspot? People will travel to and from UK to get to USA. Unless UK restricts travel from the rest of Europe.


Not that this ban makes a lot of sense, but not including the UK makes even less sense, considering they've already reported 400 cases (compared to the ~1,200 in the U.S.)

edit: to be fair, maybe the administration would've preferred to just ban travel from Italy. But I'm guessing it's not possible to restrict travel from just one member of the EU.


Also doesn't make considering that Heathrow is a major hub for Europeans to travel to Europe.

Only reasoning I can see is political - UK did Brexit. For limiting the spreading this seems like a weird exception.


And the UK is already the most popular destination in Europe for Americans. ~50% greater than #2 France.

I've no idea why other than language.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Trump owning golf courses in the UK.


The ban is for people who have been in the Schengen zone within the last 14 days, not just for direct arrivals from those states.


UK is already a hotspot. 100 confirmed cases in London (as of 11 Mar) means we should expect 10x that in practice. They just started later than some other countries.


Wonder how many trees this mode effectively saves. Google.com should have a darkmode soon I hope. :P


http://blackle.com/ is still around, if you're serious.


HTTPS is not configured correctly, nor does it have a valid TLS cert, which is from 2010. And they are running Apache 2.2.3. Yikes!


DarkReader extension for Chrome/Firefox works for me.


Very few, I’d assume.


They question is how do you know if the voter is authorized?


Haha! I'm sure he does.


Sweet!



This is by far the best presentation at StartupSchool 2013. I was in awe when I saw it from the 9th row.
