I think routing actually gets easier once you get rid of the proprietary FPGA switching fabric, and go with a homogenous grid of identical elements.

I look forward to developments in this area, eventually I hope they come up with the 4x4bit Look Up Table fabric, with no fancy stuff, just lots of transistors mostly waiting, but far fewer than in a CPU.

In other words it’s not what you know but who you know and the key is to know people who know other people who can get you that sweet sweet tax payer funded government money. Not to get political but that’s why you had Trump’s son in law and daughter working in the White House and Biden’s kid went straight from rehab to $10M contracts with the government of China to selling his art for $500k a pop.

I'm scared of "climate change" not because of temperature rise, not because of dangerous weather, not even because of ocean acidification. We have practice in handling all those things. I'm scared of C02 directly. It sure as hell does hurt people, we are looking a 685 ppm in 2050[1], over 1000 ppm in 2100[2], spiraling worse than that for the next 5000 years. The problem is that c02 makes us dumber, even small amounts.[3] Carbon Sequestration technology, on a globally ubiquitous and household scale is an overriding priority simply because we might be too dumb to fix it later. If we don't head off this escalation of c02, we are looking at a 5000 year dark age from the cognitive results alone.

>If you follow the news, you may have seen a bit of a dust-up in the last week on this topic. Pfizer announced the need for a booster shot has become more apparent, based on serum antibodies. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said such a conclusion would be premature, since vaccine protection looks really good right now, including for the delta variant that has all of us concerned.

Who do we trust in that situation? There are qualified scientists on both sides, but why do they disagree on something so critical, especially on how to message it?
Opinions are facts wen the halls of power say they are. Now conform slave!
This is not a general purpose charging system. This is a mobile power pack to extend your phone’s battery life while you are on the go. It’s similar to carrying a power pack like the Ankers around but is slimmer and attaches with magnets.
Doesn’t (currently) work in high temps, will probably never work in rain. Better than DSL but I don’t think it will ever replace a proper land link.

Edit: Apparently there are some decent Ka-band rain mitigation techniques nowadays so maybe one day rain won’t mess it up so much.
Valid point indeed.

A big problem point for US with Iran : the latter's issue with Israel.
Really? I've legitimately never heard even them state such a thing.
This looks pretty slim. Definitely takes up less space than one the larger power packs that connect with a cable.
Not in accelerating frames of reference, which includes both rotating frames (such as spinning objects) and frames with high gravitational distortion.

Spinning black holes have a measured circumference that is not 2 x pi x r.

(Consequences of the accelerating frame of reference include the spaghettification in a black hole... We can't use a mathematical conversion to go to a frame of reference where the subject isn't being spaghettified).
I studied a social science (economic history) with the suspicion (I am can't recall why) that a lot of people in universities who do more vocational subjects are there because they can't actually make money using those skills (so I would only do a course that was totally useless).

When I got to university that was confirmed in spades (and I was glad to actually get something for my money, because the subject was "useless", I got great teaching, great feedback on my work, etc.). Obviously, business was the absolute worst (one professor taught a course on investing, he literally wrote a book on investing, he left at the same time I graduated to run a fund...just before the pandemic, he got fired because his fund was down 10-20%/year, he was one of the worst-performing fund managers in the UK at the time), stuff like law was pretty decent (although most people who studied law never became lawyers either, I don't understand how because the school was number #1 ranked for law...after I left, I saw quite a few lawyers who got a job due to family...so it might be that), and even CS had a great reputation in teaching but the actual linkages with industry were non-existent, so the teachers taught the theory and things they thought were fun to teach (lots of students struggled, I spoke to startups who said they had trouble recruiting, even though this school turned out hundreds of grads every year, because they all just went to larger companies that didn't require actual development skills).

It isn't the case everywhere but I think the idea that university is required for success outside university is misleading, particularly for high school students. A lot of the knowledge is definitely very useful but life outside university tends to be about things that aren't in any books. University is orthogonal to life.
The booster is targeting the delta variant, rather than the [original] alpha variant. It is essentially a tweak to the original vaccine to improve immune response.

It's probably easier for them to just get together outside of the W3C and make up a new standards committee. From what I understand, nothing in the W3C is binding, so there would be no repercussions whatsoever.

Yep. I'm very familiar with these from quadcopters.

The charging cable is usually called a "balance plug", because it distributes power equally to all cells instead of shoving it all through all of them in series.
Viruses mutate without thought. Some will be more deadly, others less. Some more contagious, some less.

Consider the seemingly randomness of chemistry at the biological level is what determines this.

Although less deadly, highly contagious are more likely to spread for longer.

I actually have used alternate metrics in production code: The problem was to be able to cluster points on a map. The naïve approach is to use Euclidean distance, d = √Δx² + Δy², but the problem here is that the neighborhoods you get are circles and we're looking at the map through a rectangular viewport. Clicking on a cluster to zoom in on it will not give an optimal zoom (and may include stray pins from other clusters as well). It turned out using a box metric of d = max(Δx, Δy) gives better results for our needs since the neighborhoods are now squares instead of rectangles (and has the added bonus of being easier to calculate).
A lot of people learn by completing Arduino projects. I don't know if it's the best entry point, but it's definitely one that has a lot of support in the maker world.

Python is the language of choice there, too. So for the most part, you'll feel at home.
Roughly: Say you have a relational database with a dozen tables that all connect to each other using foreign keys: A user table has a user id, a message table refers to a user, a log table refers to the user and a message, a comment table refers to a message and a user, and so forth.

Jailer can, say, grab a few comments from the comment table and at the same time grab any users and messages that were referenced. Then all of those records spread across all of the tables can be exported for use by, for instance, tests.

Imagine you found a bug, say, in your app logic, and you wanted to grab an image of the exact data that triggers the bug to repro that bug and use it in a test. This tool makes that easy.
What you are referring to is called the “transmission-virulence tradeoff theory” and while it does not guarantee that this virus will do what you claim, it is remarkable that public health officials and journalists do not mention it.

Google employees angered by search giant's 'hypocritical' remote work policies
An acquaintance of mine recently started a MFA program at NY Film School. He's going to end up spending about six figures finishing the program, if he sees it through. I want to tell him it's a waste of money, but that's not my place - partly because he's an acquaintance and not a friend, and partly because it's just not polite.

But it's such a waste - and what's worse is he should know it. We worked together in post production for years. He's lived in Los Angeles even longer. If you want to be a filmmaker, the most assured path is to make films. Be a production assistant for 2 years. Yes it will suck - you'll be getting the director's car washed and fetching his coffee for under $200 day rate. But you'll make the necessary social connections, have experience on set (a near absolute necessity for any better jobs in the field), and know the actual ins-and-outs of film production, which is a fairly specialized niche. The other option is to make some indie films on your own dime, and jump from there. The really successful people do both. James Cameron got his big start doing shit-work on small films, and got noticed when he made maggots writhe on a horror film shoot by putting a 12v battery across them. Harrison Ford got his big break being a charming carpenter on set.

But this acquaintance is paying tens of thousands of dollars per year for someone else to tell him to make indie films, and for the criticism and critique from other people making the same stupid decision. Youtube will tell you why your indie film sucks for free, and you'll have a bigger audience to draw from.

On one hand it's frustrating, but on the other, I don't really like the guy, so mostly I'm alright just minding my own business. It does kinda suck that there's a whole industry around ripping these people off though. Good movies are cool. Making them is cool. You don't need a high end education to do it. There's a lot of parallels to programming cool (not CS-heavy) things like games or innovative apps. Or making pop music. You just have to do it.
I appreciate your feedback and that you read the article. I wouldn't say it's clickbait, but rather that it's subjective.

But that doesn't make it any less correct ;)

I find odd so many people complaining about having too many alternatives for streaming systems. If you are not an advanced user of these systems of course you won't be able to choose the right one and it won't be your job anyways. Think of this, we have dozens of databases out there and there are new ones coming out every week and nobody complains about that. That's because there's way more people that understands the differences and the use cases so it makes sense.
Then maybe you are anonymous. But maybe you also can't spend your money.

I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg and Susan Wojcicki will be along soon to tell us which side is telling the truth and which side needs to be exiled from human knowledge.
I disagree, specifically with the idea of mixing telling people what to do with reporting cause and effect. The latter is clearly within the realm of the researcher's expertise. The former is a more complex political decision that has a lot of other factors. In this case, the statement (get vaccicanted) is not even controversial. But it's the principal of specialists mixing telling people as a group what to do with the results of their studies that I object to.

I dont expect my point to be understood or appreciated (people literally looked into my comment history and downvoted past comments when I posted the GP) but I want to clarify my point. Treatment science as a religion is not a way forward, even if scientists say things you agree with.
It seemed pretty clear the Nissan part of the Renault-Nissan alliance didn't like the changes Ghosn had made because he made cuts to certain parts of the company that were underperforming. Even though Ghosn's reforms were successful, the Nissan side of the alliance was slighted and seems to have ultimately schemed to set up Ghosn and push him out.
CO2 half life is 5,000 years. Methane is 50 years.
No. Viruses mutate in the face of selective pressure. COVID is becoming more deadly over time because there is a selective pressure towards more transmissibility. More transmissibility can increase the severity of illness if the virus more readily replicates or more easy infects human cells.

Viruses only become less deadly if they are so deadly that hosts die before they can pass on the virus. No such pressure exists for COVID as patients are infectious during the incubation period.
This was an independent, but publicly funded, company. So a combination of cluelessness and perverse incentives.

My snark comes from the fact that in this organisation it was taken for granted that the CFO has a seat at the table because, after all, finance is a thing that grown-ups do. It's serious business. Because they have control of the money they can dictate how the rest of the organisation does their job.

But in reality, they're kneecapping the rest of the company – the part that is actually producing something – so that they can make some imaginary number appear in the right place. They're they ones playing made-up games.
You're claiming Japanese in America are representative of Japanese in Japan which is not the case. It's straight up racist too.

I enjoyed grad school in physics. But I can't look you straight in the eye and tell you that it had a positive ROI in dollar terms. I married another grad student and between us we earned enough from our stipends to cover our modest living expenses and put away enough money for a down payment on a house.

On the other hand, delaying my career by X years probably came with an opportunity cost. That's more speculative. I could have skipped college and become a computer programmer, in 1982. How long would I have lasted at that? Would I have enjoyed it enough to stay motivated? Would I have been any good at it?

Would I have enjoyed working in finance? Another unknown. The one person I know who got a lucrative "superstar" career in NYC burned out of it and went back for a second degree in journalism.

But a widely known rule of thumb is: Never go to grad school unless either someone else is paying for it, or you are in a job where each degree level guarantees an automatic salary bump.

Viruses mutate over time and they could become more or less deadly over time.

The Spanish Flu mutated into a more deadly virus overtime.

The first article has a couple of anecdotes, and a statement that there are reforms in progress.

The second just states “little to do with the assumption that prosecutors only choose cases they are confident they can win” but doesn’t do anything to back up that claim with data. It just discusses aspects of the law that are different in Japan/the US.

Would be more interesting to refute the academic work on this:

What I'm getting at is this: If you forward an email from y our personal domain to another provider, every email you get that is spam is re-sent to the forwarded address, and that provider will see your FROM address as being the source of the spam, and it will cause mail deliverability issues for forwarded mail. I've seen it over, and over, and over again. That's why I wrote it.

In our Subaru, the radio comes on, but you can't turn it off for at least 10 seconds, and then it might come back on, depending on exactly how many times, and when, you tried to turn it off earlier.
My point is that the argument is wrong. "ideal flat space" isn't a property of our universe. That "perfect pi" is a property of the mathematical abstraction of "smooth space". Our universe might asymptotically flirt with such a state but "flat space" isn't real not in the sense that the speed of light and force constants are descriptions of things that actually happen and actually exist.

Study Shows Laboratory Developed Protein Spikes Consistent with Covid-19 Virus
A lot of the most famous New Hollywood directors (Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese) did go to college, and among famous film directors they were more or less the first to have done so. In that context, Friedkin was an outlier. Since the 70s it would seem people went overboard trying to emulate the motions that led to the earlier successes they saw--as happens so often.

That said, it's probably no coincidence that all this happened after massive amounts of federal money started pouring into higher education starting in the 1950s, and the academization of arts and crafts (a term I use with great respect!) seems to have proceeded in lockstep in many fields after that.
