I think the key with the Pi is that it needs to find its way into the house for some other reason than just to be an educational aid. Positioned that way it will be about as interesting to most kids as a plate of cold spaghetti— am thinking here of the book I was given as a teenager on developing ActiveX components, because it was an enterprise-y thing, when what I really wanted was a book on DirectX, for making games.

But yeah, if the Pi shows up as part of an IOT system, or as a TV/streaming box, or to play retro games on, or whatever, then it's there and it's available to be tinkered with; and from my limited experience, basically none of those use cases will run on their own without at least a little bit of tinkering. :) Even my little Linux-running Powkiddy emulation handheld has probably consumed about as much of my tinkering time as it has my retro gaming time.
I used to have an employee that is a physicist. He would get bent out of shape, when I said that. :)
Are you always this cynical? There are plenty of good tech companies that have IPO'd recently: Snowflake, Unity, Corsair to name a few. I'm sure all three of those will do well in the coming years. Not everything is a bubble, these companies have some impressive growth numbers.
>and ‘In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend using a computer? (not including time using a computer at work)’

Sure, that's at least an attempt. However would you characterize spending time on a personal project work? That's why I called out my specific examples of side jobs and hobby projects.

I'm not rejecting the findings In particular, maintaining optimal sleep and lessening screen time (which is often an issue in youth), while having adequate physical activity and good dietary quality, may reduce the symptoms of depression,” of lessening screen time in favor of more constructive activity like exercise. I'm suggesting there's probably room here for a deeper dive into the kind and quality of screen time, because even bucketing it into just work vs everything else is arguably too broad. I believe some kinds of screen time are constructive.
Interesting comment but some prelim research can help us understand if it has legs: Look up the S-1 from those companies and compare the numbers.
Certainly there has been far more violence from the left than from the right over the past few years as a read through any newspaper will indicate. I suppose I wouldn't classify most of it as paramilitary in nature though. I would describe antifa as an organized violent mob, at least.
I'm not sure how, but I think you've managed to find the worst possible example to rhetorically support the idea that poverty level people should be punished for VC behavior or even try and claim that it is a tough problem with moral grey area. You are going to find very very little sympathy for an argument that, if you are an unarmed civilian being killed in a genocide, then really its really your own fault for not keeping your house in order, and allowing your family to not be murdered by letting them leave would only disincentivize them from investing in their community to stop the violence somehow. Surely there is a better analogy for doordash drivers than that?
It's really not. Schools are crammed full of them in the UK as well.

We'd be happy to hear from you if you find our digital cheat sheet useful and how we could improve it!
You can do something similar in Rust to ML modules using traits and generic impls as module functors!

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

This can be really useful especially as traits with differing concrete types diverge, you can create a unified interface trait object to allow trait objects for things like container classes.
Quick word though, if you have issues with dell software on Linux you're SOL even if you pay for software support. Dell does not offer any paid support for Linux machines they sell or software they distribute on them.
> And they have spiking case counts just like the US right now.

What lead to this recent spike, in your opinion?

"peaches and cream" it's a global pandemic, I don't think "peaches and cream" is on the table right now. What we need is to survive to have peaches and cream another day, and that takes discipline and PERSONAL SACRIFICE not everyone whining and moaning about how they can't just pretend nothing is going on and do everything as normal, as some people seem so desperate to do. I weep for how spoiled and entitled our society is, living in the lap of luxury but still complaining.
Hackers Escalate Ransomware Attacks on Schools
Perhaps not Democrats per se, but the left (particularly the university left) has had a real problem with free speech over the last several years. Cancel culture, deplatforming, mobs trying to prevent speakers from appearing, getting people fired, and so on.

The left is not friends of free speech, at least not the current US left.
Strictly, only bills that raise revenue have to originate in the House. Any other bill can start in either place.
Though I've never been in a Union, I have historically supported my friends who are. But once they came after my job, well, now I am pro-right to work.

> If you love SpaceX, you can thank NASA for that.

> If it were not for NASA’s initial investment of nearly $400 million for the Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft, SpaceX would not be here.

Is this true? I thought SpaceX was well under way before they figured out Falcon 9 or the dragon module.
It's true that minimizing all gatherings is the best choice. But we also have to recognize that social distancing fatigue happens. And when it does, people might stop socially distancing. Giving them a "social budget" could help them recognize risks and keep it up for longer. Of course, don't give them enough budget for an indoor wedding.
Linux App Summit 2020 [video]
One reason is short staffed nursing homes and hospitals.

In North Dakota the governor just signed an executive order allowing Covid-positive healthcare workers to stay on job. Including nursing homes.

Another reason: don't work, no income. U.S. has no federal sick leave law. Most states don't either.
Left-wing protests throughout the summer have frequently turned violent, with it being directed at random passersby, police, businesses, etc. I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to by "violent intentions" but that it has happened frequently in the past is a legitimate reason why right-wingers would show up prepared for the fact that violence will likely commence.
I'm not going to read the paper without a little more context. Why is determinism self-refuting?

I don't even get what determinism has to do with free will.
Calm down, antibiotic resistance is a systemic problem in hospitals and factory farms. If you remove the constant presence of antibiotics the bacteria seem to drop the relevant gene expressions readily.

There are enough antibiotics that they could be cycled, with some kept in reserve for emergencies only (e.g. sepsis).
It is surely not perfect (I wouldn't know, I use different distro).

But when people won't reward Linux integration, and reward Windows or Apple instead, there won't be any Linux integration and they will be getting Windows or Apple.
I don't know the back story but it's also possible:

IBM recognized "we're not the guys to do this anymore" and there was more value selling it and focusing on what they think they can do well (or what they thought they could do)?

Then from there Lenovo was able to focus on what they do well.

I really do think that a lot of companies would benefit from recognizing what their core competencies are and really doing those things.

We see big name companies pick up products and sort of side step into similar markets or even just remain in markets that ... they're just not good at.

I'm thinking if companies like Cisco's efforts to get into consumer gear of various forms but still coming from a very different world of B2B, and working in a market they already dominate type stuff.
I've had Manjaro bork itself a couple of times. I'd recommend against it.

I am going to jump to your aid, because I suspect the downvotes are coming. I think it is ok to question if we are doing the right thing. There are intellectually honest ways to do that and intellectually dishonest ways. I do think we should do everything we can to avoid becoming callous. Some amount of of emotional fatigue is to be expected though. We are talking about nearly 250k deaths so far. That is a completely overwhelming number. And the lockdowns and general fear has created an immeasurable impact on the the future world economy, political stability and mental health.

The science is clear that the risk of COVID morbidity and mortality is not evenly distributed. There could be more than one good way to manage this risk and keep our healthcare system functioning. As we start distributing the vaccine, we are going to have a great opportunity to mitigate a large portion of the risk for some people, while accepting a lower risk for others as the price to pay for getting back to normal as soon as possible. We make these kinds of population risk decisions all the time and no one bats an eye. Simply getting in your car every day and trusting your life to its imperfect safety systems is one example.

Soon we will need to draw that line of what risk we, as a society will accept, and then get on with it.
If you compare how Siri works compared to comparable services, or Apple Maps, this just isn’t true.
How did masks ever get conflated with “freedom” anyway. But regardless, don’t people have a sense of self-preservation? When does that kick in?
> Mueller said explicitly they found evidence

Instead of reading what "he said" I'd appreciate reading what the evidence is and what it shows. I'd honestly like to learn.

Edit: just checked, the linked Time's "debunking" confirms that there was no evidence of collusion: the best that they can come to is to claim:

"But the fact that the conduct did not technically amount to conspiracy does not mean that it was acceptable."

So the fact is, as I read it, there was no evidence of conspiracy. And that's it.

Edit 2: The quote in the answer doesn't say anything better:

"While none of these acts amounted to the crime of conspiracy, all could be described as “collusion.”"

Again, the fact in there is "none of these acts amounted to the crime of conspiracy." Then, claiming that it "could be described" ([by whom?] -- there would be at least such mark in a Wikipedia article) is just an attempt to rationalize that fact to these who were emotionally invested. The Democrats could have invested their energy in many other much more important problems they have among them. IMHO Hillary failed not because Trump or any foreign action but because there was awareness of Democrats rigging their party's election process and of she as a war hawk:

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/24/magazine/how-hillary-clin...
Precisely this. It was unacceptable when Bundy et al performed their actions, and what occurred in CHAZ / CHOP was equally unacceptable. The fact that people do not see these events as roughly analogous is amazing to me.

Hats off to you for actually reading the S-1 and not just coming to this thread to drop an opinion about the industry or VCs.
I don’t see the reason for the focus on the amount of memory given the potential theoretical advantages of a unified memory pool that extends beyond the DRAM.
PCIe gen 4 SSDs have obscene data rates and tons of IOPs. In fact the whole SSD is now an extension of your RAM is a selling point of the new consoles.

Is it as fast as having more DRAM in all possible scenarios? No, but with good memory management the real world performance might very well be identical to a system with the same capabilities and even greater than traditional memory systems with larger non-unified pools.
For me it's a huge ergonomic and health gain using a desktop after using a laptop for 10 years. To the point of being life changing again.
To be fair, the Republican Party only let things happen after they tried really hard to get rid of Trump themselves.
Why do people make these kinds of comments? Talos isn’t showing up anywhere, and even during the Kickstarter it was more than $3000 for just a motherboard.
Clinton said, rather injudiciously, that Biden shouldn’t concede. What she probably meant was that the mail-in ballots have historically favored the Democratic Party, and are in most cases counted after Election Day.

Neither side should concede until the ballots are sufficiently evident. We’ve reached that point.
Can you give an example of the value this would provide that isn't provided by generics?
Fair enough. I don't imagine there are capacity problems at Akamai.
Information processing and communication is evolving in exciting ways and producing incredible results. Techniques for accomplishing this rise and fall and are ultimately unimportant. Seriously, I think the author needs help for depression.
This is such a simplistic take on the virus. There’s not just the death rate, there’s also the lingering health effects many people are experiencing after getting over COVID. There’s the fact that it’s not just affecting elderly people, setting aside the suggestion that the elderly are expendable. There’s also the fact that in many places in the US it’s pushing the medical system to its very limits. In North Dakota the governor asked nurses who are COVID positive to go back to work because they are so short staffed [0].

What about their personal freedom? What about the people who don’t want to work in an environment that might put them or one of their loved ones at risk? You talk about living in a bubble but you don’t seem to consider the teachers, first responders, medical workers, who have to make the choice between working during a pandemic or losing their livelihood.

None countries you mentioned didn’t descend into authoritarianism by enforcing restrictions during a once-in-a-century pandemic.

You may be right. I may be right. You may view my response here as a false equivalency. Others might be frustrated and view one position as extreme and another as not. There likely is a false equivalency, but it will differ depending on who you ask.

This gets to a larger point. When the country was first founded, the different religious and political factions deeply distrusted each other. Religion was extremely important, and those who differed were considered wrong and/or corrupted in a way much deeper than I think modern, non religious people fully understand.

And yet despite this, they managed to cooperate with each other. It wasn’t perfect. And it didn’t always work; we did have a civil war. But it allowed for a regional plurality between peoples that were deeply different and factional, and no doubt considered the others evil or dangerous or a threat.

The only means by which I think we can escape this is a return to a respect for local autonomy. Allow people to shape the law where they live as they desire and reduce nationwide impositions. Give more authority to the states to create the world in which the people there want. If you think others would be trapped in repressive systems, give them a means by which to escape to yours.

Evil is perpetrated by violent coercion. The beliefs might be come to voluntarily, and may be more common in one framework than another. But the actual execution of evil requires coercion, which usually seems justified to the person perpetrating it.

Because the law inevitably requires coercion, coercion itself cannot be eliminated without lawlessness. But the laws people concede to can and should be varied. The social contract is only valid if the people have a choice. If we allow people that choice, people will flee the systems which coerce them unjustly, and they will wither. It will be painful to endure systems that seem obviously terrible without intervening. But there is no other way to audit your own biases then to let the people in each system decide which is better over time themselves, and no other way to avoid the inevitable violent conflict of imposing your values onto others who fundamentally disagree with them.
Literally anyone familiar with politics and economics.

At a fundamental level, industry responds to price incentives and government responds to political incentives.

This is like the PR version of a comic book super-villian. Similar I suppose to VHEMT (voluntary human extinction movement - http://vhemt.org/) that has been around for decades, but this one seems to be moving beyond voluntary to forced extinction. Regardless, they should really get an underground lair.
In the startup ecosystem at least the blame lies with leaders who continually value 'hustle'. In other cases it is usually 'I don't get sick pay and I need to feed my kids'.
There’s a lot to unpack in your post, but I’d just like to focus on “car attacks” here. You mention a “car attack” in Seattle. In actual fact, the incident I assume you mean was by all outward indicators a tragic accident, not a planned attack such as Charlottesville in 2017.

Driver Dawit Kelete (who is black, and not politically affiliated) was high on pills when he plowed through BLM protestors occupying a section of the freeway in the middle of the night. Tragically, one protestor died and another was seriously injured.

Most “car attacks” this summer have turned out to be simply reckless or confused drivers caught in the middle of unplanned, unannounced, often heavily-armed and aggressive street protests. Armed protestors have shot or shot at several such drivers, such as in Provo, UT and Aurora, CO.

https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/6/30/21308526/gunman-shot-...

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/08/03/man-charged-murder-sho...

By my reckoning, the actual count of “car attacks” this summer where a politically-motivated driver rammed a BLM/antifa protest can be counted on one hand. There has been a greater number of unprovoked attacks on drivers by protestors. This is the product of extreme paranoia among armed protestors, amplified by social media.
Hey, thanks. She just went to sleep and never woke up. If you're going to go that's the way to do it.
I think those who can, will. At least in this space. I'm on my third desktop build this year. One for myself, one for my daughter and one for someone else who is not paying for commuting now and has disposable income to join the PC gaming club.

From what I've read, it's harder to fix the Li-ion packs, and in an electric car that relies entirely on the pack, degradation affects the driving experience more than a hybrid where you'd see it manifest itself as an MPG decrease.

The combination of information and parts available to fix Toyota NiMH packs is a big factor in why I own a vehicle with one :)
> Why are you conflating "aggressively addressed this problem" with a strict lockdown?

The hypothetical was "Imagine if we had addressed the problem in March?"

We did in fact lock the country down for several months. People seem quick to forget it for political reasons.
Ouch. Look, I know how explosive all this is and I don't need to ban someone for having strong feelings. But we need to hold the container in a certain way.

It's fine to say that another comment is false, especially if you then add corrective information. It's fine to say that it's misleading, if you show how and (again) add corrective info. But to say that another user is lying crosses a clear semantic line: it imputes malicious intent, i.e. not just that they're wrong but that they know the truth and are intending to deceive. That we don't allow. Surely it's not hard to see why.

You do not have to eat better to lose weight. You only have to eat less.

Would I believe someone who works at Postmates with over a decade of experience in the software industry bubble when they offer an opinion on the effects of a novel virus pandemic on the overall economy due to high level policy decisions?

Absolutely not.
I do often feel like we’ve hit diminishing returns for our current paradigms. We employ a stunning number of people to solve minor variations on the same problems, over and over. Our applications are still mostly silos, integrations are expensive, compatibility is always incomplete and idiosyncratic. The number of lines of code grows and grows and grows, but clarity never increases
Florida in 2000 bears no resemblance to this situation. Trump and his supporters are alleging widespread, systemic fraud for which there is no evidence whatsoever. Florida in 2000 was a historically close election for which there should have been a recount, but the election was handed to Bush by the Supreme Court instead.
That seems to be what they were operating under, but they definitely did not explain this to consumers who assumed that normal tipping practices were being applied. (The checkout looked much like a normal receipt with a tip line.)

The resulting backlash from consumers was severe enough that at least one company operating in this space changed the policy: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/22/20703434/delivery-app-tip...

It's worth noting that the law is still changing in the area; gig-economy workers in California were classified as employees by the courts, but then this got overturned by a voter initiative, so there are no solid answers as we continue political campaigns and litigation.
Genuinely curious: what are some historically significant examples of "false positives"? By which I assume you mean a time when people rose to resist something they didn't really have to.
