I have an earlier version without the movement sensor. It does not work too well in far-out places, because there is no AC or radio field to trigger the 555. I mended this by adding another button connected to USB-minus. My hand now closes the circuit and causes negative edge which triggers the 555.
Not really, the market has settled on CPU-independent bytecode. I've got a x86 tablet, and you don't notice it at all, other than the Intel logo on the back. As long as there is an ART port it could be MIPS and still have pretty much the same compatibility.
That street is like that partly because it's in literally the warmest place in Canada, ideal for the homeless. I don't know of any other place like it in Canada.

If you think crime is 10x worse anywhere in Canada compared to the US, you haven't looked at the US's horrible crime statistics closely enough.
I think the idea is to avoid NHEJ entirely. I would guess that it's going for base-excision-repair (BER), which is why it's currently targeting either C or G bases.

If the wrong guide sequence is bound you're screwed no matter what, though I suspect they'd say that the error rate is low enough to be practically irrelevant. Not sure that's really true though, the genome is pretty big and if you screw up at even astonishingly low rates, you're still screwing up fairly frequently.

Colloquially, "x64" works pretty well.
> I wonder whether it would be possible to create a tablet/laptop with an e-ink display, where the processing switches between a low-powered ARM and something like an Arduino.

You'd have to deal with different architectures and a lot of headaches, but it's the idea behind ARM's big.LITTLE, where you pair high-perf high-power and low-perf low-power cores. So your tablet's SoC might have a ~200mW A53 for mostly-idle use with a ~1W A72 for more active "high-performance" work loads. And the only additional hardware is the additional cores and the interconnect, the SoC is shared between "low-perf" and "high-perf" cores, which probably wouldn't be the case for an arduino/arm mix.
I was an industry analyst at the time and I think the short answer is that Intel made the decision to pursue an x86-everywhere strategy. They thought 1.) That it would benefit them if there was a the same x86 architecture from server to mobile and 2.) They thought Atom would meet mobile requirements.

(1) was doubtless true. But (2) didn't pan out.

One can find slides from IDFs etc. at the time with Intel trying to buttress its x86-everywhere arguments by showing that Flash ran more consistently on small devices when they were x86-based.

In retrospect, Atom was mostly wish fulfillment. I can't say whether this was an execution issue or whether the strategy was intrinsically doomed to fail.
And I would have thought that letting an agent that can modify DNA loose anywhere except strict lab conditions could be dangerous? Do you expect gov regulations to happen soon in this area?

I was raised in a very conservative environment. I now hold progressive opinions because I find the arguments compelling. It seems insane to me to deny large segments of the population access to the things everyone else uses to succeed (education and healthcare), and then expect those outcast people not to commit crimes or drain welfare or break down civil society.

There are many who agree, so lots of voters will be voting to express that agreement. You can try to change my mind, but you must do so by solid argument, not by telling me my opinion isn't operative.
While this is mostly true, it is just untrue enough to cause trouble for a non-negligible number of apps.

The Intel Houdini software used to make Android on X86 possible is a marvel of engineering but it is not perfect. I worked for a company that made an Android tablet around an Intel chip instead of ARM. We were hit with a great number of user reports of certain apps crashing, overheating, or simply refusing to run in the first place. We verified in QA that these apps would work just fine on ARM tablets with the same Android version and similar specs.

To be fair to Intel, they were very good to work with and really did (and do) want to make it work. I have no doubt they will. Eventually.

I'm going to plug Google Cloud's Preemptible VMs as a simpler alternative to Spot Instances:

- Preemptible VMs are sold at a fixed 70% off discount, removing pricing volatility entirely

- Google Cloud's Compute Engine has far fewer VM types, thus making it much easier to construct the resources you want (exception being GPUs, you don't need a "network optimized" instance to get fast network, nor you need a "storage optimized" instance to get fast/large storage - these things are modular on GCE).

Not true at all. If Intel could do that:

1) they wouldn't have replaced its Core-based Celerons and Pentiums with Atoms to increase profits - and they sell those for $110-$160

2) they wouldn't have licensed Atom IP to Rockchip and other low-end chip makers, essentially pursuing an ARM-like IP-revenue model (for which they would've made peanuts and didn't pan out anyway).
The EmDrive would never be powerful enough to be a lifting engine; but what it would be is an incredibly useful engine once your mass is in orbit.

" The PC era was about to end."

Not bothering to read the rest. This is entirely 100% wrong. The PC era has not "ended". It's just that we only upgrade every few years instead of every year. And grandma now reads her email on a tablet instead but that was never what PCs were really for.

PCs are still just as much used as ever. We just use other things too, and don't buy a new one every year.

I can tell you both the parent and grandparent posters are knowledgeable enough to help answer your question. I think you're misunderstanding how evolution and selection pressure work at a conceptual level, and you don't need an evolutionary biologist to give expert input on it any more than you need an astronomer to explain why the moon has phases.

Let me take one more crack at this: think of natural selection as evaluating `if` statements: "if this organism has the ability to spread through the air, then it is more likely to survive an reproduce". That means mutations enabling that are going to propagate. Doesn't make any mutation more or less likely; it's just a question of whether it survives and reproduces or not. Importantly, it does not say "if this is a big improvement over the status quo, keep it". The forces at play here don't know what "improvement" means and they don't know what the status quo is (though see below about competition).

The point the parent and GP were making is that the advantage in being airborne exists whether or not malaria is being killed off. Right now, before any mosquito-killing-off initiatives, a plasmodium would do very well for itself and its offspring by escaping the confines of a mosquito and infecting zillions of people through the air. Its chances of reproduction in that scenario are presumably high, because there are so many people to infect. It doesn't become more likely to make that mutation and survive the results if its vector is being killed off. It doesn't know it's being killed off.

So how does selection pressure fit in? Imagine a beetle. If you change something about its environment, say, by introducing a new predator, then traits which previously provided the beetle no advantage (say, tasting bad to that predator) suddenly provide that advantage. Then the `if` statements are decidedly different now! It's not that the tasting-bad mutation is more likely to happen, it's just more likely to impact survival. So you expect more of that mutation to survive, and soon you get a whole ton of beetles that taste terrible to our new predator. But note how this doesn't help malaria go airborne because there's no "suddenly provide an advantage" part. It was always an advantage. That it might now impact whether the species survives or isn't part of the `if` statement.

One possible way in which this can be confusing is what the GP was specifically addressing: often the value of a mutation is a function of how it affects the organism's ability to compete with the rest of the species. If there's only so much food around, then being slightly better or worse at eating it affects an organism's survival because it needs to be better at eating than its brethren or it will starve. So in that case the current state of affairs gets baked into the `if` statement. The thing to note is that this logic doesn't apply to malaria going airborne; there isn't a competition over humans to infect.

I love the "playlists" though I rarely save them. In my preferences I have double clicking from the library add to a new playlist. Usually I just double click a whole album, it immediately starts playing in a new playlist and I can shuffle it or loop it as I see fit. That one song on the album I don't like? I just right click and "remove from playlist", now I don't hear it. Sometimes I'll search for a keyword or artist and select all now I have a playlist with everything that artist worked on. Maybe if I've been adding and removing stuff from the queue and I like the way it's feeling I'll save it for later, or just leave its tab there for a couple months till I'm bored with it. I always keep a "dynamic" playlist tab open for when I just want a shuffle across my whole library. If I see something coming up I don't want to hear I just delete it (or reshuffle the whole thing which doesn't affect the currently playing song).

"What does it mean in practice to hold a philosophy that declares that pristine nature has intrinsic value in itself, and that regards Man and his activities as intrusive threats to the so-called ecological balance?

But here I want to focus on the consequences of accepting core environmentalist premises—specifically, their deadly impact on human life."

What are you really going to measure here beyond GPS and accelerometer data? The temperature and humidity of the saddle/horse interface? The strain and weight on the saddle?

All the while taking in the views through the new and improved augmented reality interface on your smartphone, or hmd.

They're both representative forms of government with adversarial systems of law.

Though CaptainZapp's reply was low-signal, snarky, and redundant with her/his down vote, it did inspire me to learn more about German law.

It appears that by statute, German prosecutors have little discretion when it comes to pursuing convictable cases. They may only nonprosecute minor offenses, i.e. those with sentences of less than one year. However, there are exceptions that are applied by prosecutors that could apply to this case. One is the "serves the public interest" exception; another is the "may damage state interests" exception. Either way, the answer isn't cut and dry and contains way more nuance than my original comment and its reply suggest.

In our neighborhood we see quite a few corvids, crows, scrub-jays and Steller's jays. The jays in particular are entertaining. They are very fond of raw peanuts in the shell. When the birds are visiting, tossing a few peanuts leads to observing bird behavior not unlike that of human primates.

They get into "arguments" with each other over possession of the nuts. Sometimes they seem more interested in "fighting" than eating. So they are sort of competitive with each other, yet they also cooperate, since most of the jays wind up with the opportunity to grab a peanut or two.

A few individuals have physical deficits: one's missing part of its lower mandible, another one has only a right foot. Yet they adapt to these handicaps figuring out ways to get a share of the peanuts and other goodies we supply.

Reading about avian neuroanatomy shows very differently organized brains. Of course their brains are smaller in absolute size vs. primates. I've wondered if the nuclei-organized avian brain is a more efficient "processor" vs. mammalian layered brain. Maybe that accounts for the surprisingly excellent corvid performance.
The Dat project?...
As someone who has lived in western Germany all his life but has relatives that lived in the GDR I have come to a similar conclusion. The system of the GDR was horrible but there was an inherent gender equality (mostly due to pragmatic concerns of extending the workforce imo). The west had the "luxury" of role-casting women as the stay at home mom. Married women used to require their husbands permission for quite a lot for quite some time in western Germany (they couldn't open a bank account until the late 60s for example iirc).
