@BernardoMeurer the problem is that W7 doesn't have native drivers for USB3. So the laptop boots off the USB key just fine then starts the install and stops claiming it can't read the source files.
The solution is normally to integrate the USB3 drivers into the install image, which is generally straightforward. But I cannot get it to work.
@JohnRennie I used to get around 70mb/s when I first got my computer but now I get like 30. Will changing my wifi card fix this? changing to ssd already made it a lot better but not as good as before.
The laptop does have a DVD drive, but I don't have any blank dual layer DVDs to create a DVD install disk. I'll have to go out and buy some blank DVDs tomorrow I guess.
@obe If the WiFi card was working at 70Mbps before then I doubt there's a problem with the card. You might need to mess around with the settings. For 70Mbps you need the higher 5GHz speed WiFi protocol (can't remember what that's called).
@BernardoMeurer how you like speakers to sound can be a very personal thing, and to some extent it's what you're used to. I have yet to find speakers that i like as much as my HB2s, but then I've been listening to them for 30 years :-)
The B&Ms may simply sound different to what you're used to.
The reviews all say they have a sweet treble, so it's odd you think it's too trebly.
@JohnRennie I don't have nearly the same experience as you, but on my headphones I have a firm belief it made a difference. We'll see about these ones, I'd like to test them for at least 3 days before making a decision
@BernardoMeurer Even people who get it intellectually sometimes have trouble grasping the full meaning until they have at least watched someone they care about dealing with a chronic condition for a while.
My better half has a couple of chronic conditions and though neither one is life destroying they add a considerable planning load to our day-to-day affairs as well as occasional days when ordinary life just stops and everything goes into dealing-with-crisis mode.
@rob the CHSH analysis is very subtle, think more than anyone realizes. it seems to highly hinge on detector efficiency. the theory seems to assume perfect efficiency but most/ many bell experiments have low efficiency. am aware there are claims "the efficiency loophole is closed" but am not so sure about that. why did it take so long to close it? (decades?) think somethings likely going on here... bell himself did not seem to ever consider detector efficiency that much...
@vzn It is fascinating to think that someone in hbar who is not a Bell-inequality expert and as far as I know not even a physicist, thinks they have discovered a deep nature of the CHSH experiments that literally "nobody" has previously perceived. That would be a sign of absolute brilliance.
Particularly to think that those researchers who pain over the experiments have not considered detector efficiency... those researchers must be a lot dumber and lazier than I would ever have thought.
@BernardoMeurer Really? That's odd because I feel that rather often when I talk to Europeans they're making some kind of racist comments about folks from other countries. Interestingly, often within the same conversation they bemoan how racist America is...
@vzn "The theory seems to assume perfect efficiency..." <-- False.
Perhaps one ought to actually read the theory one spends so much time criticizing?
@DanielSank sigh obviously some of the best physicists in the world have worked on the problem, and furthermore think its a shame that bell never came near a nobel prize. in serious science there is room for questioning/ revisiting prior analysis in detail.
@DanielSank what "criticism"? its not fair to make up stuff & attribute it to me. :(
@DanielSank Uh...what has the occurence of "racist" (I suspect you mean the stereotyping of other European countries here, right?) comments in individual conversations to do with people being "happy and free" (putting aside that Bernardo was likely using hyperbole there :P)?
@DanielSank there is a mass/ mtn of material on the subj and some takes into acct detector efficiency and some doesnt. bells earliest writing doesnt. dont see it a lot in later writing either.
@vzn You keep saying you think QM is wrong and (weak measurement / ancient theories known to be wrong) will prove it. I think you should perhaps actually go study these topics before continuing to produce what are, to experts in the field, obviously incorrect statements.
@ACuriousMind Actually, I was thinking more about Europeans who talk about refugees and immigrants like dogs.
@vzn Listen to me, please. It is not interesting to look at old research that everyone knows is incomplete, and talk about the fact that it's incomplete.
Well all know that Bell's original theorem doesn't talk about detector efficiency. Nobody cares, because we've moved on and have talked about detector efficiency.
@ACuriousMind Oh, and also think it's great to immigrate to the US and still talk trash about immigrants to their home countries and even other immigrants to the US.
@DanielSank Don't you feel judgmental people are found in every country of the world ? (I'm not sure any statistical data is there to back it up) It doesn't seem right to associate an entire continent with "they're making some kind of racist comments about folks from other countries" and "talk trash about immigrants to their home countries"...I'm pretty sure I've heard US citizens talking trash about immigrants from Mexico and Middle East too.
@anonymous Yes. Of course there are judgemental people everywhere. Interestingly, Europe likes to think that it is somehow more happy-friendly than the US, which I think is ridiculous.
@ACuriousMind Perhaps, although I typically expect scientists to be more... reasonable than the general public.
With somewhat high frequency, discussions with European scientists turn toward social criticism of the US. I mean come on, remember that discussion with @Danu and @ACuriousMind (I think) about worker's rights?
For those who have talked with me I have a fairly American accent, for reference Daniel's father in law almost believed me when I said I was from Maine (lol). Once Nika invited some Slovenian friends over, I went to open the door to them, said hello and all, this 6' tall huge Yugoslavian dude looks at me and says "Are you fucking American?"
@DanielSank Ah, yes; that's because there is a fundamental difference in the political "center" between American and European politics. I fully believe that you frequently get into social and political discussions with (possibly quite ignorant) Europeans of all sorts.
