That is not a new "Amiga", that's just a nostalgic upgrade to an old Amiga computer.

A new "Amiga" would be something completely different than the old Amiga (which has long been surpassed by PCs with high-end graphics cards) or the current software/hardware model of a PC (which could be improved in many ways if you decided not to be a slave to current hardware and software standards).

I'm not sure what that means, really, because creating something new and useful is a hard (but not impossible) task. It really does take commitment in these days of software that is POSIX everywhere and (graphics) hardware that is sometimes interesting and high performance, but very buggy and effectively, probably intentionally, undocumented.
Why does academia still tolerate the archaic scientific publishing world when there is the Internet?

The fact that people are still so dependent on these useless hegemonies sickens me.

It only takes a little bit of courage and everyone else will join. Scientists are only keeping themselves captive by playing along.
The issue is how do you sterilize the bags between re-use to achieve the same level of hygiene as disposable bags? Doing that is very energy intensive and you are in a situation in which the energy cost of washing a bigger reusable bag is comparable to the cost of making a brand new plastic one. That is why I was emphasizing sanitation. We don't use disposable needles, containers for meat and produce, dairy, because they are cheaper per se, we use them because we are concerned with hygiene.

And of course the larger issue is the totalitarian nature of this. Who needs two cups of coffee? Ban the second cup! This idea that we should start using the government's monopoly on violence to ban what are symbolic and irrelevant things -- even without thinking through the repercussions for sanitation and energy -- is a very dangerous one.
Looks amazing! Any plans on a vuejs implementation? Also would be awesome if we can change bootstrap scss variables such as primary color. Thank you for the amazing product
Some examples are reported by people in this post. Where I live, I could not get 20c/40t + 128GB for this price point any other way.
Working in Ireland on computers that mostly live an AWS us-west-2 really makes you almost immune to this. ~150ms best case.

Of course, dialup was worse. You can never really get used to 300ms.
Some of the tracking is still janky, but I'm surprised by the transitions - I can see when they shift, but I don't see any weird morph.
Type-C cables have an E-Marker IC inside them by design, so this would probably render the cable non-functional or worse-functional unfortunately.
Wow, that complaint is kind of nuts. The SEC is accusing him of just about every major financial crime imaginable.

But the "Related Individuals and Entities" section broke my heart:

> Employee One, age 18, has worked for Veritaseum since 2017.

Stealing/embezzling money is disgusting enough but he very well could have ruined this 18 year old kid's life. I generally find the SEC to be pretty reasonable so I would imagine the kid is only included so they can't transfer funds either but I really hope this kid/kid's parents were smart enough to get a lawyer and cooperate.
My experience also aligns with this. Probably, Google's open culture was okay in the early days of internet and the company. Now that political activism has spread across all the SV companies, I sincerely wish that leadership across entire tech industry squashes the noisy vocal minority. If someone is really passionate about their political cause, they should pursue it in their personal time using their personal resources.
I'm even more impressed they would think it's in Australia. I can see not having any idea where it would be but to believe it's inside a relatively famous and we'll known country?

> And a man who can't disinfect and clean bottles is going to hate it when he finds out about diapers :)

Where in my post did I say men can't do this? I just said it is many times more inconvenient for a man to do this, than for a woman to breast feed. Inconvenience experienced over time is another way of saying stress.

Honestly, I'm going to bow out of the conversation now. I realize that my wife and I make several choices to maximize our convenience that would seem odd to other couples. My basic idea is to just go with the way natural selection made your bodies act and don't add pressure to do anything different. It's much much much easier that way.
When they get to know about that fact and do not take steps to end this behaviour, although it would be in their possibilities, they might be held liable, too.

So ocdtrekkies point stands, imho. Google is directly profiting from shady activities through their services and therefore has no incentive to control or stop that behaviour. That's a tricky thing.
I'm sure if you bit the head off a bat it would shock a few souls
Most candidates still support keeping private insurance and making Medicare 4 all one of the available options.
Well "improvement" is a bit of a loaded word, but AmigaOS's exec kernel was a microkernel, and one of the few to pull it off without many problems. Compared to Linux's monolithic, or Windows/Apple's hybrid Mach thing, it's actually something that's still a bit uncommon.

It's still experimental, but RedoxOS is really the only newish OS that I know of that does the Microkernel design.
Caltech astrophysics and harassment: Lessons learned
> This is true for any rational investor.

> These sorts of regulations only exist to keep reckless people from losing money.

No. It's not. You're barred from investing in fly-by-night scams unless you have more than enough money to do so comfortably. If a poor person, who is naturally desperate to make money, is conned by a snake oil salesman, you know who pays? Literally everyone. They end up on the social safety net collecting on our taxes. As such the public has an interest in making sure, to a reasonable extent, that only those capable of taking huge financial risks do so.

Now if your company is established enough to provide the required quarterly disclosures by SEC regulations, sweet. Anyone can invest their last penny. Seems like a fair place to draw the line.

> That is not a valid reason to block the freedom of genuine investors.

I agree, if you mean a "genuine investor" has over $1M in assets excluding their primary residence or a previous years income in excess of $200K and an expectation they will have the same in the coming year.

Accredited investor rules weren't brought in because too many poors were hitting it big and all those new yachts were clogging up Boston Harbor. Literally because not having them caused the great depression. And they didn't call it that because it was just a pretty good depression, ya know.
Um, shouldn't the headline say 25 Ky ago? It didn't "just" flare, unless "just" means "happened to for no known reason" which I suppose is a legit interpretation.
Does anyone know what models / software this person is using? I assume it's something off the shelf, because there are an abundance of other videos in this space produced by different people:

I've been doing ML for audio (Tacotron, WaveRNN, etc.), but haven't stepped into the video world. I also work in film and want to apply this technique to my work.

How do they keep the frames from blurring or not needing to be rekeyed? The motion tracking is spot-on.

Would someone operating in this space be open to meeting over Hangouts or Skype to discuss the tech? I'd be happy to pay someone for a short survey of the space.
Unfortunately, it isn't reliable and DDG is much more willing than Google to say "I've got nothing". I default to DDG but often it is this type of situation (searching for error messages) where Google works when DDG didn't.
Sexing Sperm
Is the (poor) video quality intentional? I'm curious if that is used to disguise the effects, or just due to the original video.
What I saw in the video is violent protestors beating someone brutally. Could you please elaborate a bit how it comes to be disinformation?

By the way, you’re unlikely to convince anyone with personal attack.
This is Brian from the website celebritynetworth.com. I submitted the following statement to the House subcommittee on Antitrust detailing the history of Google scraping our information. The TL:DR is that Google approached us about getting an API to our data. We said no. Google scraped the whole site anyways. Google frequently displays our information directly in its results without any attribution in a large snippet that takes up the entire screen. The answer box is so large and dominating of the SERP that users have no ABILITY to click through. Let alone need. Google's actions have absolutely decimated our business. Here's our statement with image examples dating back to 2012: https://medium.com/@brianwarner/celebritynetworths-statement...
That's great! My daughter also calms down when I comfort her. However, many parents mistake fussiness for hunger (I have seen this in so many couples who are friends with us... their child gets hungry every 30 minutes or so, and dad is trying to bounce him/her and sing to it, as if that's going to work). It is actually cruel to sing to a child when they are hungry and want food. I would not be surprised if the deep-seated food insecurity this instills on children is the source of a lot of our obesity problems
Alice Cooper could say he supports immigration controls. Or he could argue that we shouldn't have breastfeeding rooms in airports.

I've personally found that people are getting more and more intolerant, and more and more shocked, especially liberals (conservatives have always been shocked and offended). Which is funny, because it's pretty illiberal of liberals to be shocked by people disagreeing with them.
Gen X / early millenials are the last progressive liberal generation for sure. If you really think about what late millenials, etc. are about, it's both conservative and classical liberal, but not particularly 60s esque.
Maybe this is where all the young fascists are coming from. To be genuinely outrageous these days you've got to hurt people, or threaten to.
You might be right. Just sad all around. I have a soft, fuzzy spot for bumblebees, in general, for Corbiculate bees. There are just so many pleasant little buggers.
Women taking 10x as much leave as men is great if you want to reinforce traditional gender roles about caregiving.

That's a reasonable concern, but I think
requiring the parental leave to be split isn't a reasonable solution.

In a lot of families, that will just create serious problems without any real upside.

I don't have a good solution to suggest, but there has to be some leeway for families to work those details out themselves without having to justify their choices so as to be granted an exception.
Tech debt is mainly a problem with code that needs frequent updates as it makes changes harder.

If you have messy code that doesn't need updating, then it doesn't cost a thing to leave it in a bad state. The act of refactoring in these cases is a waste of effort and often does more harm than good by introducing bugs.

I take the YAGNI when it comes to refactoring. Just pay back the stuff if the code actually slows you down in the future instead of doing it in advance.

There is a lot of tech debt you can get away with for free without ever having to pay back.
I wouldn't necessarily dare to install untrusted software on a VM either.

VM escapes are a thing. They have a ton of emulated peripherals, like SATA, ethernet, audio, video/3d, USB HCI, etc. A lot of attack surface. There are still a lot of VM escape bugs to be found.
It's been this way for ages, although for chrome (iirc) this is managed via hyperlink auditing [1] which allows google to track what you're clicking even though the link appears 'clean'.

The click through google redirect also allows them to track things like relevancy of the content and time on site (if you return to google SERP by clicking the back button), in-case the target site isn't using google analytics (unfortunately most sites do).

He realized nobody was going to vote for him and dropped out. Why, out of all possible examples, would you choose someone organizing a campaign and running for president and then dropping out when their polls were low as an example of intellectual humility? I'd say literally every doctor who doesn't choose to run for president is a better example.
Some houses are still going to be more desirable than others... how do we determine who gets which?
Maybe some people did die, it's a bit too early to tell if it killed, say ten people. It's probably very unlikely though.

More importantly, there is a very wide spectrum of danger between death and no effect, especially when you consider things like cancer. I assumed that was the point of the grandparent's question.
> I had Flight Simulator and Multiplan on the C64, for example. The Amiga did not have either.

Wikipedia says that Flight Simulator II was published for the Amiga, though not until 1987.

Directors can use any actor to portray any character, and then make the character appear any way they want. Decouples acting talent from appearance.

Peter Jackson's Bolg and Azog could have been much more convincing, just 7 years on.
Not necessarily when the choices are constrained by the health insurer. We (a big VC funded primary care provider) experimented with full transparency pricing. Never moved the needle. But that was 10 years ago so maybe things are different now.
What would be the sound difference between such open-air headphones (no seal between ear and driver), and placing my head in between regular speakers (few inches distance, ignoring comfort concerns)?
Thanks, crawfordcomeaux, for your time! Yes, I have to think about the misleading headline and other aspects.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times :-)

I really really liked the Amiga (and was a fairly regular contributor to the comp.sys.amiga newsgroup), I also interviewed for a job at Commodore HQ in Frankfurt (the actual headquarters of the tax shelter known as Commodore :-)). And one of the things that became painfully obvious was the Commodore was not set up to make Amiga successful, they didn't have the correct organizational structure nor the core corporate values that would make them successful.

At the time I was working at Sun, had joined as a reasonably early engineer, and watched how Sun had grown from a scrappy "start up with great pretensions" to something DEC and IBM started actually losing market share too. I saw the market for Amiga as coming up as a low priced workstation, not the bargain basement home PC. But it could be both, and for a while that path was making progress with the A500 and the A2000.

It was hard to do though, the workstation market really needed a "high resolution" flicker free display, the home market needed to look good on TVs. The architecture didn't have the display bifurcation line that was built into the PC or other workstations.

With out executive air cover to make the investments they needed to make in engineering, Commodore reverted to its roots of making things as cheaply as possible to add margin that way. "High end" systems that would have small markets were shelved, and even the commercial systems they were selling into the video post production market were starting to get a reputation for being cheaply made.

It took me a long time to get past my feelings of loss when we saw the future slip away.
So let's say you travel at the speed of light towards that event. When you arrive, 26,000 years later, would you then say the event happened 26,000 or 52,000 years ago? If the former, have you just travelled 26,000 years into the past, or did time stand still for 26,000 years from your perspective? I'd argue your clock has still moved forward 26,000 years.

If we would take a snapshot of the Universe VM spacetime at the current moment at the start of the event, the "now" in time would have to correspond to the current state for every other location if you want it to be useful and not only intuitive.
I think our brains are helping the transition along, given that before and after are both believably configured faces.
Breaking the law is not a good reason to have a blockchain. If the law is bad it should be revisited. I've got me a theory the law is good here.

Thanks! So you can actually tweak SCSS variables like primary color in the tool. Just click the style button at the top when you have editor open. I'll have this for Bootstrap as well when it's added. Any kind of Vue implementation is probably a ways down the road, since the plan is to build some nice UI abstractions around React concepts (like Suspense). Harder to do that well if I'm building for multiple frameworks.
I've worked recently in this exact field (known in OR as "pickup dropoff problem with time windows" or PDPTW). As you say, all these modifications are completely standard (especially ones that minimize the worst-case "suffering" of the most-affected passenger).
Remember when Beowulf Shaeffer took the Long Shot to the galactic core and discovered that it was exploding and would wipe out life in Known Space, so the Puppeteers moved their planets to parts unknown?

Could this flare be a foreshock of that? It'd be nice to have some time to settle my affairs.
In a similar fashion, there is also PeerTube. A decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software.

I have no involvement with them, but I like the PeerTube project. Might contribute to it in the future.
When someone says "non-zero chance" it topically means "low chance of happening". There are a few front runners like Warren and Sanders than push single payer. But it also requires more than them getting elected at president for such a thing to pass.

How do you know you can trust that? Couldn't it be doing the same thing as the fake lightning cable?
I mean you’re kind of mixing up two concepts. Distances and the passage of time do depend on frame of reference. But that’s not the same thing as saying something we observe today happened today in our “time frame”. In our frame of reference, this event happened 26,000 light years away 26,000 years ago.

It was also for a low-cost audio application, but it wasn't a toy. This was back in 2001 or so. The MCUs in this article all only have ~1KB ROM, which wouldn't have been enough for our audio samples. We needed >256KB. The "4-bitness" was just incidentally what Winbond offered with a large ROM at the time. However, the SunPlus that we later used in the toy also offered a large ROM with an 8-bit CPU for a similar cost. So, while I can't authoritatively say that 4-bit is dead, it does seem like there are a lot of alternatives in similar price ranges now.
Using it only as a heater would be a bad idea. Heat pumps are much much more efficient than resistance heaters which your server would be.
This is good for users ... for now.

But as Google sucks up the consumer surplus, it's going to be harder and harder to make money from internet businesses, and the final result a few years down the road will be toxic.

The internet isn't going to work too well if its solely reliant on hobbyists.
Over the years of asking these kinds of questions myself, I've come to realize that this line of questioning betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of spacetime. Time is relative. From our perspective it might have happened a thousand years ago, but from alpha cen's perspective it happened at a slightly different time. There is no universal clock. Even the order in which events take place depends on your reference frame.

So, it just happened, and the light took about 26,700 years to reach us, assuming nothing happened to it on the way (which is a bad assumption, even just because there's a lot of stuff between here and there, but especially considering it originated from a severely warped spacetime).
Why ask, just write the PR and see if they'll take it.

I've dealt with something similar in the past. You can take them to court but you'll spend 1000's just to get started and a few years from now, and you win, you might get something in terms of money. But can the company pay or will they even care to pay? You can scare them and contact a lawyer to send them a few scary letters and they might respond since they don't want to deal with courts either.

Your best bet is to bite the bullet and negotiate a modification to the contract and pay to get it done from them. Try to get the source code and get the project done at the least cost. Yes, it sux!

If you have the source code you can hire a programmer to finish the project. We get used to paying a few 1000 dollars for "expensive" software but custom software is very expensive 40-50k is cheap when you have to hire someone.

The extreme case is to just dump the project. I don't know for sure but I suspect that a great number of software projects are just abandoned due to failure to deliver features and the budget gets depleted.

Good Luck!

A lot of history of the Amiga I was not aware of. I did not know they struggled so much in the US with the 500. I thought it was a success, and the struggles only came later after the 600, 1200, 4000, etc lost out to generic PCs.

Where I grew up in Norway, around 1990, everyone had or wanted an Amiga 500. Most of my mates had an Amiga, a few had a Nintendo NES. I did not know anyone who had an Atari ST. Nor a Spectrum which I think was more popular in the UK.

Ah the memories of "acquiring" a bunch of games, go to a mates house and hammer through them. The Secret of Monkey Island, Kick-Off 2 and its ilk was my early teenage years.

Later on, I progressed to the Amiga 1200 and started to use it more as a desktop, my first real ventures into programming and messing around with BBSes. Before I defected to a 486 PC...

Without the Amiga, I would not be the computer person I am today. With happy childhood memories.
I don't see single payer as a likely outcome either (even if Sanders, Warren, or Yang wins). Thanks for the quick response. Even though I wish we didn't need this kind of company I'm glad someone is taking the gamble.
Don't forget the classic "while you tried to click on something, something else moved in the way of it" problem.
