Slow internet on desktop, but not on laptop? Where do i look to resolve this?

Can you reject a postdoc offer after the PI has paid a large sum for flights/accommodation for your visit? I am being considered for a very nice industry scientist position but this involves many interviews and assessments and can take some time.  However I have also accepted an invitation to the US (I'm in Australia) to give a presentation in relation to high likelihood of employment as a postdoc in a research institute.  The postdoc supervisor has arranged for sightseeing and lab visits and hotels. I feel bad if somehow I wish to pursue the industry position.  Has anyone had a similar experience and have you turned down something like that before? Arithmetic operator overloading for a generic class in C# We are developing a new Lightning Community to replace our Partner Community. However, when we use our visualforce pages with LightningStylesheets=true on the Lightning Community, the Lightning styling is not applied.  I understand that this is the case because Lightning Communities are not Lightning Experience.  Is there a way to force LightningStylesheets anyway? I am trying to stay away from having to rebuild/restyle all our legacy visualforce pages. Monitor cell value and copy it to another cell I realize that I lack any numerical intuition for logarithms. For example, when comparing two logarithms like $\log_78$ and $\log_89$, I have to use the change-of-base formula and calculate the values with a calculator in order to determine which of the two is larger.  Can anyone demonstrate an algebraic/analytic method to find out which of the two is larger without using a calculator? Assume I have the following list:  foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']   What is the simplest way to retrieve an item at random from this list? What function satisfies $F'(x) = F(2x)$? Sometimes, on the internet, particularly in online games, I see people using the  indefinite article before someone's name: "I see a Joey" or "I hug a Polly". I know some of these people and I'm positive that they are from English-speaking countries, which means it is not a mistake, they do it intentionally.  I was always taught that articles are not used in front of people's names. Maybe it is some sort of slang? What does it mean, when the indefinite article is put in front of someone's name?  Edit: There is a group of people standing somewhere. And somebody, named Joey, appears. They all know Joey. And someone in this group says "I see a Joey". So it is used when someone sees his or her friend. But I don't understand why they use the indefinite article here. Why does the /winsxs folder grow so large, and can it be made smaller? Calculating the average of variably sized blocks of numbers within a column? Why multiplying fractions is equal to multiply the tops, multiply the bottoms? $$\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\times c}{b \times d},$$ And why $$\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{c}=\frac{a}{b},$$ Also why $$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{b}=\frac{a+c}{b}.$$ I understand it, but I want a mathematical approach as a math student proves it. Also I want to know the mathematics topic of this question (number theory, logic, etc). A full answer is not necessary. Just a reference. Reason of existense of the extra space in align environment and removal of it between two align environments This is a follow-up question regarding the extra vertical space in amsmath's align environment. Why when in use align uses so much vertical space in contrast with other environments like for example tabular or itemize?  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[top=0.3in, bottom=1.2in, left=0.8in, right=0.8in]{geometry}   \usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath} \usepackage{unicode-math}  \setlength{\mathindent}{0cm} \newcommand{\3}{\vspace{0.3cm}}  \title{} \author{} \date{}  \begin{document}  70  \begin{align*} &amp;e^{jz}=\cos z+j\sin z\\ &amp;\cos z=(1/2)(2\cos z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(2\cos z+j\sin z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(\cos z+j\sin z+\cos z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(e^{jz}+e^{-jz}) \end{align*}  80  \begin{itemize} \item Item 1  \item Item 2  \end{itemize}  90  \begin{tabular}{c|c}  Entry 1&amp; Entry 2  \\  Entry 3&amp; Entry 4 \end{tabular}  \end{document}     Also another image of the huge space between two align environments. Even without the blank lines the space is a lot.    \begin{document}  \begin{multicols*}{2}   \begin{align*} &amp;\text{70}\\ &amp;e^{jz}=\cos z+j\sin z\\ &amp;\cos z=(1/2)(2\cos z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(2\cos z+j\sin z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(\cos z+j\sin z+\cos z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(e^{jz}+e^{-jz}) \end{align*}    \begin{align*} &amp;\text{207}\\ &amp;x(t)=A_{c}\cos \theta(t)\\ &amp;\theta(t)=2\pi f_{c}t+\phi(t)\\ &amp;\phi(t)=K_{p}m(t)\\ &amp;x(t)=A_{c}\cos[2\pi f_{c}t+K_{p}m(t)] \end{align*}   Edit I:  As I mention in a comment I have tried the following code and there is no difference between two align environments, only between text and an align environment. Why doesn't work in the case of the two environments and how can I fix it so to work? Also what is the reason that this space exists?  \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt} \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt} \setlength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{0pt} \setlength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{0pt} How can I know what speed card to get for my camera? Just curious as to how to obtain item drops from the last update.  To clarify, item drops as in weapon skins, crates, anything else Valve added without letting us know, etc.  It seems that after playing a bit, I've gotten no drops, but I've seen players who've gotten drops after a few short minutes of gameplay, but I've been playing for hours.  Is the item drop system like TF2, where you can just idle, get an item drop, come back? Is it like Dota2, where you have to be in the matchmaking system and complete matches for the chance to get drops? Or do you have to be MvP to get item drops? Is it a certain time you play the game?   Also, are weapon and crate drops independent or dependent on each other? Meaning, is the drop counter shared between Weapons and Crates, or are they both separate drop counters? Extruding surface while keeping the shape here is the picture of what I would like to get(example nr. 2). I need the edge frame to be same in width and length. Also the extrusion is on surface (without depth) I tried extruding region, but it did not give me the result I wanted.   I know I could just adjust the scale and do it manually, but that would be eyeballing without achievign accuracy. I would like to know if it is possible to extrude or inset while keeping the shape (even edge space) redraw GUI on didreceivelocalnotification when come from lock screen iphone I'd like to install a  client for Xubuntu (12.04).  I'm getting non-English Google results, and I didn't find  in the Xubuntu repositories.   Does anyone know of a client that works well for Ubuntu or it's supported derivates (or installation instructions for grive?) My  has failed me.  In Python, are the following two tests for equality equivalent?  n = 5 # Test one. if n == 5:     print 'Yay!'  # Test two. if n is 5:     print 'Yay!'   Does this hold true for objects where you would be comparing instances (a list say)?  Okay, so this kind of answers my question:  L = [] L.append(1) if L == [1]:     print 'Yay!' # Holds true, but...  if L is [1]:     print 'Yay!' # Doesn't.   So == tests value where is tests to see if they are the same object? I am a Ph.D. dropout with a one year of career gap. I want to return to academia, but now  I have realized that it was perhaps the biggest mistake to take a gap after quitting my Ph.D. The purpose of taking a gap was to work on my communication skills and get a  new perspective on my work and my career in science. This could have been done within a period of 2-3 months but it became one year long because of my own recklessness. I allowed myself to distract from my goal and I started working on my hobby i.e. Painting. I lost myself there and completely lost track of my time. I was really enjoying everything about this new venture. I took it as a challenge to become better at my skills in painting. Eventually, I became the best in my group and got lots of appreciation. But then, I lost my interest while realizing that there was no further challenge and all there was left is to work and work while crafting your art which was never going to be perfect. It made me realize that what I actually love is to take the new challenges and work on myself. To be an artist was never a career option for me, all I wanted was to learn the skills. That's it!   While counting my achievement in science, I  realized that it was an irresponsible thing to take a gap in doing something that has nothing to do with science. Earlier I had a scholarship and a very competitive mind that has led me to get a Ph.D. position in one of the best labs in the country. Now I don't have the scholarship. I want to go back to my world of research where I was accelerating exponentially. I want to tackle the challenges of science with a new perspective and better skills. I want to be productive more than earlier and ready to take all the tough challenges.  But I feel embarrassed about my past mistake. Because of this, I come across as someone who is not sincere about her career. But I can't help it because the truth is that I did behave insincerely by losing track of my time.  I should have been conscious enough to realize the consequences. Now, what do I do? The past has gone and the vision of the present is crying for a better future. How do I make things better like before? When to switch to a CDN?
