I know that big chemical manufacturing facilities with waterway connections use a similar approach to keep chemicals from entering the waterway in case of an accident. So when it works for liquids, I'd assume it'd also work for solid objects such as plastic waste. However, I doubt this is something fishes would pass, I couldn't find anything about that that proves this claim.

The US can produce large numbers of N95 masks. What we cannot do is produce large numbers tomorrow. If you are willing to bankroll me I'll setup a factory and in 2 years I'll produce any arbitrary number of N95 masks you care.

There are two obvious problems above. First, 2 years, will we even need N95 masks in two years? Second, I said I'd make them, but I cannot promise I can make them cheaper than China can.
I don't know why would someone buy this when they're selling Apple Watch SE for $279 with most of the features. Unlike flagship iPhone it's probably not going to look a lot different from the most expensive piece.

He didn’t get caught up in the money trap that almost everyone is, and I wondered how he did that? Is it religion? Is it innate morals? How he was raised? Very interesting.

Two things. One, you don't always know the answer to a question until someone asks it, and then you can't un-hear the question. I thought I was just grouchy until asked, and then I realized I was properly unhappy in this role. Which I said makes me uncomfortable about asking hard questions of people I don't know and probably will never work with.

Two, it's easier to leave a place when you know you've left a project in good hands, instead of knowing things will unravel if you do. Mostly, it's an ethical problem if you sabotage the hiring.

But I'll agree that there is a tension between professionalism and social responsibility. What do I owe to my employer, what do I owe to the local developer community? The next time I interviewed, a guy I had a lot of respect for referred me to a used-car-salesman of a recruiter for a place he was leaving. I did contract-to-hire, walked away from that one. Felt a bit like a meat shield to cover his retreat. I realized all the things I respected him for were past tense, and honor that but stay the hell away from him now.

If you don't buy support for software, you're the support team.

Maybe that's something a savvy teacher is willing to take on for a small, advanced class where the students largely know what they're doing, or at least have a reasonable baseline of prior education.

It certainly doesn't scale when we're talking school wide software, tiny IT teams and dozens of thousands of students & and hundreds of faculty of varying levels of computer literacy all bringing their own devices.

I guess it depends on if you have a strong enough IT team to provide that support or not. I doubt many schools, or even large corporations do.

I wonder if a person was more involved in charitable giving if they would have heard about this guy before? Mainstream news coverage isn't going to cover him much but stories have been written, he worked closely with Gates and Buffet.

Pretty sure Apple doesn't expose the correct APIs to allow this on the GPS model of the watch - at least that was the case when I last researched this.

I have to head out for a bit, so can't write much, but I don't think we actually disagree. The point I was making is that in this organizing of the interview process we need to put figuring out whether there's a potential match before proceeding to the confrontational 'testing your skillz' phase. Otherwise we're just wasting time.

And, to be honest, as a well paid senior engineer my time is pretty valuable. Doing a skills test and then finding that the job is not of interest to me is pretty frustrating.
This propublica story has a lot of detail on the fires. They estimate that there are ~20 million acres overdue for burn and the fires this year are burning about a million acres. If I understood it correctly a million acres burning a year is about what's required for stasis, but the 20 million acre backlog will need to be burned too.

They've spent a lot of money aggressively pursuing environmental concerns before many of their competitors (like renewable power, carbon neutrality, recycling programs, etc.).

While I can appreciate the reduction in cost likely was a factor, I wouldn't doubt that the environmental aspect was also a genuine concern.

Their ideal customer is somebody who upgrades devices frequently and then participates in the trade-in programs, but the adapters and such are not part of those trade-ins. So if you get a new phone every year for 4 years, you have 4 adapters. It's not a far stretch to imagine that their own employees said "You know, this feels wasteful" and management said "Hmmm not only is it an environmental problem, but we could also reduce costs."

But it's impossible to say for sure from an outside view.

> There's nothing preventing any tenant from being related to criminals.

The jurisdiction I mention specifically has mandatory landlord classes and lease addendum requirements to aggressively inhibit the housing of anyone associated with criminal activity (which includes the tenant(s) being held liable for any criminal activity that takes place on the property where they're not the victim). Background checks are mandatory for all adult tenants. Lease agreements with the mandatory jurisdiction provided lease addendum must be submitted to the jurisdiction's rental management department ("Division of Property Standards") to receive a rental license. I take no issue if you receive vouchers; if you're a criminal or associate with them, I can't provide you with housing (in this jurisdiction), and it's grounds for eviction based on a preponderance of the evidence (no conviction required).

You don't, I'm not aware of any vendor that FORCES you to buy their charger, and it's not part of the spec as far as I know.

Op is complaining about a charger bricking something - the solution is: buy the approved charger from the vendor. They've tested it, they're telling you it won't brick your device, and I'm confident if it does, they'll replace the device. If you DON'T WANT TO, buy third party. But then don't whine or blame USB-C because you DID buy a cheap charger that bricked your device. That has literally nothing to do with USB-C and everything to do with being penny wise and pound foolish.

He's blaming USB-C for something that has nothing to do with USB-C.

"Calories in calories out is 100% valid for weight loss"
"A calorie is just a calorie, so much as color is color."

Yeah, and you can tell an obese person to cut off their legs to lose weight. Sure, you'll be factually accurate, but are you honestly talking about weight loss?

"If you care about overall health then obviously there is a lot more to it than just calories."

Is weight loss without health considerations really the subject you think people discuss when they talk about weight loss? Nobody talking about actual dieting and weight loss is talking about thermodynamics. We're talking about the complex interactions between food, exercise, mental health, and our individual bodies in order to reliably lose weight and be healthier.

accessTopOfStack and incrementStackPointer are other functions that return text. It made composing Assembly a breeze.

("Two years" is from Andrew on a recent podcast.)
hmm I guess thats a good point - I dont leave the house much so hadn't really considered that.
I know I was willing to pay more when the ECG watch came out, and this one has a blood oxygen meter. That alone will sell a bunch of these.

It's also important to offer people different pricing tiers, because some people are value shoppers and some people want to buy a Veblen good.
I disagree. I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about what other people have done. Just what I can do. Just working in a food bank or picking up roadside trash on a weekend. It doesn't take much.
If I'm not mistaken, if all code authors agree on the license change, then, the new release can be made fully GPL. While the old copy will be still available as MIT.

A malicious actor can pretend that they merged MIT parts with new GPL parts, but I think, it would not take a lot of time, until such merging would become technically hard, and the code can be effectively converted into GPL.

However, since Zen's guy was a contributor, it's probably not possible to get all authors' permission to change the license for the entire Zig codebase.
Huh. I've got a Series 2 that still lasts nearly 2 days on a single charge.

I know sometimes something in the software update can glitch and cause aggressive battery consumption. I wonder if you were affected by something like that (which is something they should address to prevent from happening in the future).
Since I don't sleep with the watch it's not too big of a burden to charge it each night. I just wish there was a better charging mat so I don't need to connect it to a charger.

I think it's fundamentally the same today as it has ever been, just operating at a different level of abstraction. Once upon a time, making a screw or a nail was a significant undertaking. Now it's something you buy at the hardware store for, quite literally, a dime a dozen. Nowadays the abstraction level has moved up from nails and screws to CPUs and SOCs, but you can still obtain components and assemble them into something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Turning a RasbPi into a DIY laptop with a keyboard, external storage, and display is a project well within the reach of a child today and every bit as worthwhile as futzing with the gears in a mechanical clock. IMHO.

AMD and Intel also already "own it all" in this sense. NVIDIA is merely a third competitor in this space, with a much more undesirable CPU IP.

You should welcome a third competitor to the duopoly that has strangled CPU development. We surely could have made much more progress if x86 was not limited to only two (really three) competitors, you can already see how much change that AMD getting back in the game has made.

And I'm not sure Huang is going to burn it all down anyway. That seems like it would be a shortsighted move that would negatively affect the long-term value of ARM.

But I mean - I don't think anyone can deny that Huang would do great things with ARM. Terrible, perhaps, but also great.

(and it says a lot that a lot of people are probably nodding along with a comparison of one of the greatest tech CEOs of all time to literal Voldemort, the public opinions on NVIDIA and Huang are just ridiculously hyperbolic)

I think that if Nvidia open sourced it's Graphic Drivers , 80℅ of backslash against Nvidia would disappear suddenly.

I think that Backslash against Nvidia is due to it's somewhat hostile nature towards OpenSource (to be accurate, they didn't open source Nvidia's Graphic Drivers).

But, Nvidia's drivers work well(Nvidia's Linux drivers are somewhat on parity with Windows ones) . I heard that until AMD open sourced their drivers, lot of them were preaching that Nvidia is only way to Play high end games on Linux(also CUDA).

Personally, I prefer AMD GPU. I find their drivers to work great with Linux.
Now there is no way of obviously measuring this, but I'd make the case that donating time (volunteering on the ground) to organizations is way better than donating money. First, money goes through so many layers that it's hard to actually know what they go to, and how much actually ends up being useful and not just scavenged by middlemen. Secondly, donating your time by volunteering gives you more than just the feeling of feeling good. You also gain so much more perspective on life that will make you a better person, you'll appreciate what you have more and you can make sure what you actually spend time on is worthwhile.

So, please donate time by volunteering! But if you can't, money is also good of course.
I was hoping for the same, but considering the regulatory and health issues for not getting it 100% right, I'll give Apple some credit for what its done rather than ding them for not yet being able to package in what hasn't been invented by anyone yet.

If I remember right, Apple Watch is the most popular smart watch on the market — meaning many people have had one already. Those people don't need a new adapter. It's like the iPhone: if I already have one, I don't need another adapter (lord knows I have enough of them).

It's definitely not great for new customers though, and it absolutely should not be $30, but for people like me it's a positive move forward to reduce waste.
The article contains a link to GPL3. So I assume that was the controversial license actually referred to in the trial?
