Although the term "magnetic graphene" is sometimes used to refer to FePS3, this compound isn't graphene - it's devoid of carbons.

Rather, FePS3, like graphene, has a tendency to form thin sheets. But that's where the similarities end.

The original paper's abstract is more helpful than the article:

Two-dimensional materials have proven to be a prolific breeding ground of new and unstudied forms of magnetism and unusual metallic states, particularly when tuned between their insulating and metallic phases. Here we present work on a new metal-to-insulator transition system
FePS3. This compound is a two-dimensional van der Waals antiferromagnetic Mott insulator. We report the discovery of an insulator-metal transition in
FePS3, as evidenced by x-ray diffraction and electrical transport measurements, using high pressure as a tuning parameter. Two structural phase transitions are observed in the x-ray diffraction data as a function of pressure, and resistivity measurements show evidence of the onset of a metallic state at high pressures. We propose models for the two new structures that can successfully explain the x-ray diffraction patterns.

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.12...

And this general-audience article is IMO better than the one linked:

"The discovery of graphene led me to wonder if I could introduce magnetism to 2-D materials similar to graphene," explains Park. "Physicists have inherited the challenge of studying and explaining the physical properties of the two-dimensional world. In spite of its academic importance and applicability, this field is very much under-explored," he adds.

That’s really too bad. I’d heard about that and I was going to experiment with one at my grandfathers in rural Ontario.

Anybody know much about extended those signals or successfully increasing the gain locally?

Sounds like an interesting and probably expensive problem which is why I am going to guess for now more effort hasn’t been made to extend those signals further.
Stereolithography was the first style of 3D printing I ever heard about, back in the late '80s. I can't tell from this article what it is about the machine they're profiling which is supposed to represent an improvement.
I mean, I would not necessarily argue that one must volunteer that they are a one person shop. But if, for the sake of argument, a prospect flat out asks, what are you going to do? Lie? Personally I would not, as I think dishonesty of that sort (or really of any sort) is a bad basis for any kind of business relationship.

OTOH, if you do own up to being a one person (or otherwise very small) shop, you also have the opportunity to "own it" and turn that to your advantage. Point out how "With IBM or Amazon, you are not going to get the CEO's personal cell-phone number so you can call him/her at 3:00 am if shit goes sideways... with us, you will have that." You can probably use your imagination to figure out other ways to promote the advantages of working with a smaller company, especially if you can paint your competition as a nameless, faceless, bureaucratic, Kafkaesque, corporate behemoth.

A degree is not a requirement to become a professional developer, experience is. The best engineers I have ran into have been self-taught, for those that had a degree it was normally to help them get past the initial HR wall earlier in their careers.

You can gain experience as a developer by doing projects, these give you something to talk about in interviews and also count as experience. If you have no experience pick up many of the operating systems, architecture and programming books that have been highly rated in your area of interest and start reading and applying what you learn until you have a deep knowledge of the material.

An engineering manager will hire people without degrees if they show aptitude, drive, passion and have created projects in line with their missions. If you were in an interview for say a Linux kernel developer and have built several kernel modules, documentation on them, their purpose and they are very secure and stable along with being in use by people that is enough to skip to the what would you like to do here, compensation talk and when would you like to start.
> Which part of it is inaccurate?

?? I don't know, perhaps the part where the guy is literally on video claiming to be a vietnam vet? You folks are utterly baffling. But go ahead and downvote.

Bell Media produces some of my favourite shows and I’ve really enjoyed CraveTV. Also, lifelong leafs fan. I think the only time Canadians boycotted pro hockey was when the NHL locked out the players and there were no games anyway!

So that’s not for me. But I am all for improving the CRTC and even nationalizing parts of our telecom infrastructure.
The part where he is on video claiming to be a Vietnam vet.
Not me personally. But I've read stories about them becoming everything we hated about PayPal. Accounts closed for no reason, blocked transfers, etc.
Sure, all that is possible, but you'd still be deprived of your vehicle when it showed up all funkified, while you then had to scramble to hail another vehicle - potentially making you late to your next destination. If it's your personal car, then you're stuff using such ride services until you get your car back. With no guarantee that a similar thing will happen to you when one of them picks you up.
No, really.

One example: https://teklager.se/en/knowledge-base/installing-debian-over...
That's an absolute fantasy. I've worked at companies who tried to move between cloud providers.

Unless you build your service like that from the start (e.g.: prematurely optimize, which practically no successful company has the chance to do), you will experience some amount of AWS lock-in.
Sort of. It depends if you want to use Kubernetes to operate your own S3, your own RDS, your own SQS, your own Kinesis, your own Cloudfront, your own DynamoDB, etc.

If you have the dev resources to do that, great. But lots of other players will prefer to use off-the-shelf stuff from cloud providers.

Amtrak literally can’t “get serious about schedule” no matter how much they want to, because apart from the Northeast corridor, they don’t own the rails they run on. They are using the rails of the big freight companies and so can only run in the spaces in between the freight trains that have priority. Which is why the GP said that Amtrak can’t get better until it has its own rail network.
What about Yarn?
OTOH , with other public services (administrative, police, healthcare) you re not even asked to agree to the terms.

Back in the seventies and eighties there were four sources of impetus for improvement in highly parallel supercomputing. Military/Nuclear, high energy physics, oil and gas exploration (seismic analysis) and weather.

The weather people were the nicest. They could talk to almost anyone about their work!

I remember somebody in csiro talking to me about models getting accurate at the 1km square granular scale for a day. I think we're well beyond that for both cell size and duration now.

Everyone loves to talk about the weather and Bob Dylan was wrong about not needing a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
As far as I can tell, passenger rail is subsidized everywhere, not just in the US. But there's not that much passenger rail in the US, and freight isn't subsidized. (Quite the opposite, in fact - freight rail is the only transport mode in the US that pays taxes on its right of way.)

10GPa is about 100k atmosphere or 1500ksi or 1.5 million psi. The best steels in the world are what are called maraging steel and they're 500ksi. Normal mild steel might only be 30ksi. So it's going to be tough to recreate this outside the lab I suspect.

Well, "work" is doing stuff, "delivery" is giving that stuff to other people. Not sure why they need an entire discussion about whether the candidate understands that, it seems like something they could cover in the phone screen.
I am a professional pilot. I have 1500+ flight hours and a jet rating. I have done exactly one paid flight in 25 years.

All you need to be a professional programmer is to be paid once to do programming (development). Then you are not an amateur anymore.

Doesn’t need a degree. Doesn’t need to be good. Just needs a penny of pay/revenue. Good luck!

Tangent, but I wish someone would disrupt the movie ticket industry. Fandango's mobile app is one of the worst apps that I've ever seen: it's very unresponsive and full of advertisements, spams and interstitials I do not care about. And yet it's the only way to buy tickets in my area.

I mean I'm already using the app to spend money, why not offer me a good experience instead of bombarding me with crappy ads?
11 9s is for durability, not availability. ie, S3 will almost never lose your file, but sometimes you won't be able to retrieve it immediately. There was a pretty significant S3 availability outage not too long ago, which is probably what the parent comment is referring to.
joining a white supremacist group isn't a crime, nor should it be one. are the NAACP criminals? is AIPAC a crminal organization? supporting your own race is not a bad thing. it's nature. it's how any of us climbed down from the trees and began running through the tall grasses 125 million year ago to get us to where we are today.

if anything, yes, your life should be put under a microscope by the FBI for your not supporting your cousin. a race traitor is almost always also a Communist, and Commies are a threat to America.
Nike is working on shoes connecting via an app already

"Shoes in our Nike Adapt platform [...] can update and evolve after purchase, letting consumers opt in to provide you with new services and features through smartphone-like technology.

In other words, we’ve finally added firmware to footwear, letting us continuously improve the product you’ve already bought, responding as need be to changing preferences and environments.

What’s more, you don’t just connect with footwear through Nike Adapt. You connect with Nike."

“We only do this for violent crimes” seems reasonable but it will never stay benign. Cops are lazy. Give them a tool and they will eventually use it to catch shoplifters and graffiti artists or to inquire about the heredity of their girlfriends.
No; Meritocracy is judging by the results. If we're both in a dancing competition, but you have dance shoes and I wear a workman's steel toed both, giving you the win is meritocratic, even though the opportunity isn't equal.

If you judging system by it's ideal implementation, then you should argue for Communism (we all know how that turns out, and to what a douchy sausage fest so called "meritocracies" ends as)
That’s why I said in practice nothing would happen. However, if the data is used to build a competitor or it contains PII, it could be problematic.

>> Bell argued that Canadians accessing content from a US service with a VPN “unjustly enriches the US service, which has not paid for the Canadian rights”

I see something else weird. Why would a Canadian politician care about this? You don't buy Canadian distribution rights from Canada or from any Canadian entity. You buy them from the copyright holder.

If I'm an American tourist in Canada and I want to watch Moana on my Netflix account, and I do that by tunneling back to my home computer and appearing to be located in the US, then Netflix is inappropriately delivering me content that they gave Disney money for the right to distribute within the US. But if they also needed to buy the right to distribute it in Canada... they'd give that money to Disney too. Why does Canada need Netflix to give more money to an American company?
I've also resigned myself to reading multiple articles on the same topic to try and pick out the facts. My least favorite tactic of most papers has been to leave out pertinent facts to better fit the narrative that they're known for, or to simply not cover what should be major news.
