I’m not going to defend the craziness of the American Government, but why would you go and do something that their treasury has specifically told you that you were not allowed to do?

Hell, if you’re still dead set on doing what you think is right, why wouldn’t you obtain a different citizenship and abandon your American one first?

America is the world “police” when it wants to be, and as wrong as that is, it’s also something you ignore at your own peril.
No, they are changing DNA, they are adding DNA code that does the demethylation of RNA.

It's like adding code to the compiler so it produces different assembly from the same higher level code. But it's still added code because the compiler itself is in the codebase.

What’s wild to me is that someone would think that it’s a good idea to give talks about anything in North Korea, a regime that has murdered and starved millions of people.

Also, the people of North Korea do not have access to the internet or Youtube as far as I know.
Relatively speaking I guess it is true? If your system is so hard to use that only power users consider it, you’ll only have power users, but those represent less than 1% of the population.

If you make it simpler, you’ll get all 100% of users, but now 99% of them are evidently less capable of using the system.
Not much. LPDDR4 signalling is actually more robust than that of regular DDR.

It's not physically impossible to make DIMMs with LPDDR4, just nobody really wanted to come with a standard.

I think the context of this occurring during Longhorn (LH) development is important. For anyone that doesn't know Longhorn[1] was the precursor to Vista. They tried to do a lot of big things but it dragged on for years before they had to recalibrate, abandon a lot of ideas, and ship Vista.

I can see why Mark is taking his company in this direction, as Facebook in its current form is getting old and increasingly losing the attention of the younger generations.

A VR environment is the perfect place to slip in ads and product placements in new and subtle ways.
So just...put LPDDR on a DIMM? Or some other kind of removable slot?? I see no technical reason you couldn't.

Or, instead of soldering chips, make little LGA slots for the individual chips.

>A blog about programming is not going to impress me if you are still junior engineer.

I don't quite agree here. Junior engineer doesn't always say much about skill. People can have deep knowledge in a field like reverse engineering but still work as a junior because they got out of college 1-2 years ago.

When it comes to junior/senior titles I get the feeling age is more important than "skill".

I get what you're saying though, you should never act like you're a god amongst men, but blogposts that show deep knowledge aren't something I would dismiss.

The mRNA vaccines are not "adequate": they are being treated by governments as if they aren't working whilst also being significantly more dangerous than every other vaccine programme out there by a long way, even according to the CDC's own rather unreliable VAERS data. Look at the graph here and repeat that these vaccines are adequate:

https://swprs.org/us-vaccine-deaths-increasing-rapidly/

"the human population, as a result of policy decisions, will continue to have ... large numbers of unvaccinated among us"

You need to rethink this for several reasons:

1. It's logistically impossible for everyone to be vaccinated simultaneously. This is not the result of policy decisions, it's a simple matter of distribution and manufacturing. There will therefore always be large numbers of unvaccinated living alongside the vaccinated for any vaccine. If they don't work given that fact then they are useless and should be abandoned.

2. Prior vaccination campaigns have worked or even wiped out whole diseases, even when there are lots of people who weren't vaccinated. If the new "vaccines" cannot do this then they aren't actually vaccines at all.

3. The idea that vaccines only work if everyone has taken them is entirely unsupported by any evidence or sound biological theory, quite clearly would not meet the definition of a vaccine, and leads inevitably to evil totalitarianism in which people are forced to take an endless parade of injections regardless of whether they're at risk, regardless of the severity of the disease which is being treated and regardless of how many safety protocols were skipped.

Starlink isn't profitable yet, and won't be for several more years.

"what I would like is roughly ... the ability to do mostly normal life, but with restrictions on large events and mandated precautions such as masks. Along with vaccinations that would probably have been a sustainable state."

To be clear, are you stating you would like all large events to be permanently banned forever.
I agree that it's not particularly challenging. As a counterpoint though, a linear search is more basic. It's also often faster than a binary search for small datasets, and it's easier to prove correct purely by inspection.

Anecdotally, a coworker we hired a couple years ago (and has been doing an awesome job) dusted off her old coding challenge from when she applied, and ran it through a new test suite we've been working on. The suite failed, and it turns out her binary search was buggy...

How do I tell you this? People in North Korea don't have access to YouTube and the internet.

Are you aware of what life is like for the people of North Korea?

Only a few select businessmen working for leaders of North Korea are ever allowed to leave and they usually travel to china for unknown business.

Giving a talk like this in North Korea is like teaching businessmen how to engage in moving criminal/ terrorism money without getting caught.

No normal citizen can run the internet/has access to the internet and if they were caught doing so they would be murdered so there's no way any of them could engage in this anyways.

I'm so sorry noone told you what North Korea is like.

They are not manually maneuvered but there's still unpredictable inteplay of solar wind and tenuous atmosphere to correct. And some sats will fail, the environment is harsh. So I believe some safety separation will be a must, used 1 second as a rule of thumb and the orbital speed is 7.8 km/s at the altitude.

I suspect more safety time will be required. Say a micrometeoroid impact happens causing one satellite to go off track. Now the controller computer needs some time to recompute whole swarm trajectories to minimize debris impacts. Even sats that are currently on the other side of planet might need to start thrusters immediately, as it takes only 10 minutes on average to cover the distance.

In North Korea they have the "intranet" which is an internal network of learning resources you can use at the local North Korean libraries and schools! It is all propoganda.
"people with nutrient deficiency"

Nutrients in plants decreased by small amount, but fresh plants in our diet decreased by 90%. Never in history have humans consumed exclusively fried chicken and deef fried potato. The diets are the real culprit.

There are complex factors, for example our supply chain takes tomatoes before they are ripe - a ripe tomato is so soft, it's impossible to get to the consumer in one piece

This is not an RCT. The work itself makes this very clear, it's observational, based on what we'll call "pseudo-voluntary" testing. Just provide the RCT for your claims-- this is necessary since the vaccine is known to be effective on a symptomatic level.
> comparing them to hand grenades is just ludicrous

Next, let's calculate the energy input required to heat a small cup of coffee and compare that to a hand grenade. (Hint: The coffee wins easily.) I wonder how many hand grenade equivalents a 10 minute lukewarm shower equates to?

1.5 hand granades worth of LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRIC energy released into A CIRCUIT over A DAY or more and protected by multiple safety cut-off circuits with thermal and other sensors.
