How Much Protein Do I Need Daily (Fat-Loss & Muscle Building)
Protein is the king of Macronutrients. It will help you to build Muscle Building and Lose Weight if you don’t take daily requirements of protein you will suffer in many ways. In this article, the question arising in your mind How Much Protein Do I Need Daily. So you will get the answer after reading this article.
There's a theory by James Faulds (NV state Geologist) that the San Andreas is locked and the stress caused by the two adjacent plates have found a new weakpoint. 10-20 years it was widely ridiculed. These days it's gaining mindshare as the evidence from seisometers and GPS are showing compatible data.

All along 395 there is increased earthquake activity, obvious signs of thin crust (like hot springs), and aftershocks that show a network of interconnected faults across the sierras.

Basically it looks like an increasing fraction of the stress from the pacific plate and north american plate movement is in Nevada. Currently around 25% and the theory is that it's increasing over time.
To be fair, wasn't Japan invaded first? A few times.

Jimmy Soni (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Soni) lived in the room across the hall from me one year in college. He cowrote the Shannon biography that came out last year.

I don't really know what "metabolism" means, abstractly. I am deader than a virus without chloroplasts existing elsewhere. Viruses need a host for the productive bit, I had food for the non-reproductive bit. Viruses don't break down fast enough compared to their abundance to cause extinction, so why fault them for optimizing?

People commonly theorize that virus came from rump parasitic cells. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point a huge virus with a membrane accidentally picked up enough stuff to become a cell again. To go back to chloroplasts again, it would be like how brown algae is an ex-heterotroph.
> Do you anecdotally know someone who said "John is a son of a magnate who does nothing all day, he is so successful"?

Yes, though they don't emphasize the doing-nothing. Further, it's easy for a wealthy person to mask doing nothing with appearing busy yet effectively being a socialite.

> There is a different situation when the successor generation multiplies the wealth, but that already takes some effort and good judgment.

It may take good judgement, but not much effort. VTSAX and chill, as the kids say.

I grew up around the kids of very wealthy people, often multi-generational wealth. Most decided to have jobs. Some had very impressive careers, but when you realize that first opportunity was only because of a parental connection, suddenly it seems a bit hollow. It's not hard to appear wise and smart when you're wealthy, and then you can simply not fuck up and the rest of the pyramid keeps chugging along.

Case in point, Trump. He is a lazy fuck-up, but somehow managed to appear "successful" to a large portion of America.
What does he mean by ARM emulator? Does it mean translating from ARM instruction set to AVR's? If so what is the 6.5 kHz about? An ATmega can probably run at a few MHz, surely emulating 32-bit instructions from 8-bit doesn't take a thousand cycles on average.
1. WiFi price/performance does not exceed wired connections. Real-world WiFi performance typically falls well below the advertised maximum. You're much more likely to get the advertised maximum with a wired connection. WiFi gets more attention because running cable is hard to do. Most people are content with weak signals at the corners of their homes. WiFi is the good enough solution for most people.

2. If you can use a wired connection, a wired connection will almost always be better. The 5ghz spectrum doesn't suffer from noisy neighbors as much as the 2.4ghz spectrum, but that's mostly because 5ghz is much more easily blocked by walls and its effective range is much shorter.

When I started working from home because of COVID, I bit the bullet and ran ethernet cable in my 100 year old house. No regrets. I had been looking at WiFi mesh networks, but all of the performance reviews I saw on YouTube showed speeds much lower than the theoretical WiFi limits.

Price was by the minute and varied with the phone number to call : 36 11 (phone directory) was free for a while (20 minutes IIRC), then cheap. Most services were running under 36 15; some (for instance Air France) were available both at 36 14 (cheaper) and 36 15. More expensive services like porn or some professional services were 36 17 or 36 18 (very expensive, something like 1€/minute).

Fun fact: 3614/3615 AIRFRANCE was much faster and easier to use than www.airfrance.com well into the 3rd millenium.
They’re presumably referring to 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T. Some motherboards and WiFi 6 WAPs are now including NICs meeting these standards but not 10GBASE-T. Still not commonplace throughout, though. Both 2.5 & 5GBASE-T are rated for 100 m on CAT 5e.

Find a lawyer/negotiator with experience in this area you can talk to directly, high-bandwidth. They'll echo many of the themes here, but be able to get (& give) more depth/detail.

This is a negotiation that's already started. Any communication about what they are or aren't interested in is a negotiating stance, or opening offer, which may be very far from what's possible if you properly understand your position/needs.

Too bad there wasn't a 'shotgun clause' from the beginning. (Then, even if you didn't have cash-on-hand, you could seek other financing/investment to win a fair/orderly divorce process. There are many investors who specialize in SaaS businesses.) Still, insisting on a bilateral agreement that whoever is able to pay more gets to buy the other out might be a reasonable negotiating goal for you, depending on other factors.

Your vesting cliff is very important. After the 1 year, there's zero justification for not delivering a full quarter of your shares (~10% of total equity). So I'd see retaining 10% equity (or at the very least 11/12th prorated if you do them the favor of leaving ASAP) as the absolute baseline you should consider.

It's unclear if your use of 'they is for gender-neutrality or indicates your co-founder & investor share this desire to get you out. But if the investor is neutral, or swayable, or cares about their reputation for treating technical cofounders, they may be all-important to a fair & amicable resolution.

That the co-founder would try this indicates some combination of real difficulties in the working relationship, differences in your perceived values of each other going forward, and/or a willingness to play hardball in grabbing more of a success in contravention of earlier agreements. To the extent it's that last factor, there are other ways you can still be edged-out, via dilution/re-orgs/etc, later on even if you resolved the current negotiation amicably. That's not a reason to run or give up, but something to keep in mind: a seemingly attractive result that's not ironclad could be further reneged. So you might give a little more, with the right protections, so that the result is more aligned/sustainable/enforceable in the future.

Good luck!

> Is the Ethernet standard lagging

In many ways, yes. In a lot of ways the ethernet standards of today are basically the same thing that we've had since like 2000. There's no reason it can't use a lot of the same techniques that are used in wifi, other than it increases complexity. 1 Gbps is enough for anyone... right :D

Surprisingly, you'll see a lot of the wifi standards have analogs in cable broadcasting. DOCSIS is very analogous to how WiFi handles data transmission. It is pulling a lot of the same tricks.

> Related, for somebody who wants reliability, is Ethernet/wired still a sane choice, or does that just make them an old geezer?

Yeah, ethernet is still way more reliable than Wifi. You run into far fewer problems with interference or noise.

Some of the higher frequency WiFi standards (60GHz) suffer less from noise (because they can't penetrate walls very well).

One thing that really rubs me the wrong way: aggressively stomping out ROM distribution (for entire distributors, not just for their own properties) while packaging the same technology in their e-shops or in boutique toys like the SNES Classic, new Game & Watch, etc. This portends a future where we get to play the same few dozen sanctioned "classics" on a continually updating hardware/software treadmill, while countless more games are lost to time and aging hardware. What happens to masterpieces like Terranigma?

I know it's a difficult position to argue for practically, but I think piracy is vital to ensure the longevity of all forms of commercial art like video games, TV shows, and music. Luckily I think pirates will always find a way to keep content alive, but if every company were as aggressive as Nintendo then I would start to worry.

From the FAQ:

> We can’t guarantee that Mark will comment on your work directly, but we’ve designed the class so that you’ll get thorough feedback from your peers. You’ll get personalized feedback by submitting your projects on time, documenting your process, and playing an active role in your group.

> Mark will also have access to the peer groups to answer questions, give feedback, and post responses during class. You will have complete access to all the feedback and answers Mark gives within your peer group and even within the other peer groups in the class. There’s a lot to learn from this ever-growing library of real student feedback.

This kind of sounds like a potential recipe for disaster. $250 for some pre-recorded videos and peer (i.e. a group of other learners randomly assigned to you) assessment? I could also see people being easily upset by a relative lack of direct involvement from Rober (esp given how much this course page hypes up his involvement outside of the FAQ).
To add. Wifi is still shared medium, so as devices increase the share of bandwidth lowers. With proper ethernet switches this really shouldn't be case. As any pair of devices should be able to communicate with each other at full speed.

Commercial applications could use and afford the higher speed 10Gbit over 'fiber' and other expensive interconnects. While the consumer side really did not demand >1Gbit speeds until very recently but even now the demand is still very low.

10Gbit network adapters consumer a lot more power and are a lot more expensive than 1Gbit chipsets. Consumers's primary demands are things like better battery life, price, and smaller form factors so it makes sense to go with 1Gbit. Additionally, a lot of the most popular computers today don't even include a real Ethernet port; it's a folding mechanism which saves space but would make a 10Gbit spec Ethernet port (shielding, etc.) even more of a challenge.

Modern chipsets are starting to include 2.5/5Gbit chipsets which benefit from higher speeds but are still much cheaper than 10Gbit. I think a lot of players in this space were expecting and waiting for 10Gbit to become much cheaper and efficient but that did not happen.

Many Ultrabooks drop the Ethernet port altogether forcing the use of USB-C adapters. USB-C/thunderbolt has a theoretical bandwidth of 20/40Gbit/s which means you, in theory, could buy a 10Gbit ethernet to thunderbolt adapter.

I'm sure there's a lot more on the technical side that has kept the price/energy of 10Gbit high but I don't know the details.

Maybe not cloud backups, but if I'm not mistaken it does local backups: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps4-back-...

If you don't pay Nintendo a monthly fee, the Switch has no backups. Console gets stolen (more likely than its competitors, since it's a portable system) or you have a hardware failure? Everything's gone.

I have a Switch, but the only games I'll buy for it are ones where I wouldn't particularly care if it destroyed all my save files. Had that experience after a Wii hardware failure and I never went back and finished any of the games I was partway through because I didn't want to replay the first 3/4 of them just to get to the last bit.

WiFi is very much worse than ethernet in dense apartment housing. With gigabit internet service, getting 90% is easy wired, getting 30% wireless is lucky. In a <1000 sq ft apartment my wireless performance depends on the room. Basically on the physical layer wireless is very busy with collisions and retransmitting. Better performance can come with some tuning, but ultimately it is quite limited.

> Delete Twitter, stop reading opinion pieces, and go actually talk to some Republicans. ...

I doubt most people are in a bubble where they don't talk to Republicans in their day to day lives.

> ... You'll find that they're, by and large, decent people with the same basic motivations as you. ...

This sort of cuts both ways, but there has been a marked change in recent years

From my personal experience in the US, most people avoid talking about politics but once you get a die hard supporter of the current mainstream Republican party to start the stereotypes mostly hold up (there are also diverse viewpoints within the party, which unfortunately are now labeled as "RINO" by the party's mainstream voices). The supposed similarities seem to be more superficial and sometimes only justification for other deeply held beliefs.

Them calling people they disagree with "out of touch" seems to be more ingrained dogma than anything else since it ignores that the views they disagree with aren't limited to some "coastal elite," but are widely held by people across the entire country, including their own neighbors. Even more so when they dismiss other s within their own party who hold different viewpoints than them as being "RINOs" who are somehow not true Republicans.

This isn't to say that the US's Democratic party has members who are just as dogmatic, but I've personally observed a lot less of this behavior coming from the die hard members of that party.

> ... Trying to force your progressive values onto everyone via some sort of bizarre doctrine of cultural dilution is unbelievably wrong-headed.

Circling back to superficial similarities, many who are in opposition to the Republican party view Republicans as trying to force conservative and religious culture and views onto them. There is a debate between conservative stances which try to to preserve some form of the status quo in the US vs more liberal stances that argue that some of the ways in which someone can exercise individual freedoms (a local maxima of freedom) limits other people's individual freedom (a global maxima of freedom)

>Same goes for giving you the 40%... there's no way they can build a company when someone not involved owns a huge stake.

This actually happened to one of my professors, which represents the opposite end of the absurdity. He started the company with a friend. The company pivoted to a completely different direction and the friend left because it was outside his expertise. My professor wanted to "do the right thing" and preserve their friendship, so he let the friend keep all the equity. In the end, the friend ended up getting millions of dollars despite producing 0 value to the company.

There has to be some middle ground here, like offering options to the company to buy back OP's shares at the current valuation plus interest. If company still can't afford a buyback a few years later, then they didn't grow the company enough to deserve to own those shares anyways.
I have never heard before about such a contention. Both Shannon and Wiener were geniuses IMO with very pivotal contributions.

It does if you do it in C, and also need to emulate the mmu and permission checks. Plus arm's instructions do a lot. A free arbitrary 32-bit shift in every instruction is hard on an 8-bit device which can only shift 8 bits by one bit per instruction. You end up with a lot of loops, and loop control instrs kill perf there.

The fact that I had to bit-bang the memory interface also does not help as the avr device has no dram controller

If you're a game streamer or other type of streamer and are willing to fork over the cash, it's probably easier to buy an $800~$1k Sony Handycam and USB-C capture device. The majority of game streamers don't really need that though, although they might fork it over because they already have HDMI capture cards with dual inputs.

But for the most part, most streamers don't care about their little picture in the bottom 1/4 to 1/8 of the screen. Good lighting in the filming room is much more important than the camera anyway.
