I don’t know about prosumers, but I have a Selphy CP1300 for mobile printing. Its 300 dpi dye sublimation CYM is good enough for me.

It accepts SD cards and USB so it works with or without a post processing workflow. Or my phone via WiFi.

At retail, 4x6 output is about $0.30. That’s larger and cheaper than the instant film based systems. It is a price point where I don’t hesitate to print…my Canon inkjet runs about $0.15 per 4x6 at retail with media and ink…there’s no separate ink cost with the Selphy CP series.

Canon has been making the CP dye-sublimation printers for a long time. It is a solid system. The models just get more features over time. Aftermarket batteries are available (that’s what I have).

Finally, printing is not really in the middle of the prosumer wheelhouse these days. The CP is probably as good as you will do. Dye sublimation printers can travel well. Inkjets and lasers tend not to.

I actually like their content, but I do feel like they'll eventually fizzle out... the only chance they have to compete w/ Disney is join forces w/ Amazon, or just sell out to Disney.

Either of those would make me happy cause then it'd presumably be a bundled service... maybe $15 for hulu, netflix, and disney+. or slightly higher prime membership but much better content+interface. (Hopefully prime would move all their free stuff for prime members just to the netflix apps/ui/etc.
The mruby VM as used in Artichoke uses Artichoke's Rust implementations of `String`, `Symbol`, and `Array` (and many other core classes, these ones just happen to be used by the VM itself). The symbol table (which is an essential part of how classes and methods and `send` are implemented) is implemented using the `intaglio` crate which is part of the Artichoke project.

These implemented-in-Rust bits expose themselves to the remaining C with `extern "C"` APIs written in Rust that maintain ABI compat with the mruby code they replace.

The mruby VM is getting eaten by the Rust parts, so I don't think it's quite fair to say that Artichoke uses mruby as an off the shelf component. To fully move beyond mruby though to a native Rust VM will take time.
> Is it really that hard to drip a few drops on a standard antigen card...

To be fair, this is an NAAT test[1], which identifies the RNA sequences of the virus, so it is (allegedly) much more precise and sensitive than the cheap antigen test. The real comparison is with laboratory-based PCR tests.

But I agree that antigen tests are much more convenient, cheaper and less wasteful than the Cue.

A research based PhD is a personal quest to learn deeply about a particular topic and even more about yourself.

Talk to others who have taken that route and see if it's for you -- especially ask about the effort needed especially in the last six months.

Don't do it for the title because you are likely to fail.
Also, given your current position it should not be about current or future earnings.

Do you have a PhD in you?
All of the women I dated I met in lower pressure situations like at work or school and the relationship just developed naturally. I never tried to force it. I met my wife at work while in college (so it wasn't a professional level job). Trying to meet women at a bar or club seems too high pressure and too much like a game so I never understood guys who did that. I'm a huge nerd and would never be able to make bars and clubs work anyway.
It really depends on your definition of meaningful.

I'm sure they could figure it out based on when their employment with Activision-Blizzard ended. Do they want to risk being wrong with the guess and passing up a good employee because of it? Possibly not.
Complexity theory is traditionally into this approach. Prove a problem is NP hard by proving its an instance of another problem known to be NP hard.

It's not just about what exists today, but what we want to be able to do in the future.

First, there are situations where it's hard to get "awesome LTE" because there's a lot of usage. Getting more bandwidth is important to handle situations like that.

Beyond that, we don't know what the future will offer if we build greater capacity. When Apple launched the iPhone, we didn't know that we'd be changing the way we live our lives. Things like TikTok wouldn't exist without the abundant bandwidth offered by LTE. We don't always know what greater bandwidth and capacity will offer.

We are seeing some things already. We're seeing wireless home internet become available to a lot of people. For cell carriers, this is a new stream of revenue. For customers, this can be increase home broadband competition and for many rural customers the first chance at broadband.

We're seeing things like Nvidia's GeForce NOW allow you to play games that are being run on the cloud rather than your local device. Lower latency and greater bandwidth/capacity means a better experience. Nvidia recommends 50Mbps which LTE can do, but won't have as much capacity to support as many simultaneous users. 5G will also drive down latencies which are important for gaming.

It's possible that self-driving technology might take advantage of this in the future. I'm not someone that promotes self-driving tech, but one can see how lower latency and higher bandwidth/capacity could mean being able to send more data to the cloud both for computation and also for storage/learning.

A lot of people are talking about VR and meta-verses. Again, I'm not necessarily buying into this yet, but it seems like greater bandwidth and lower latency could make things better.

Heck, even video-conferencing on mobile can benefit from more bandwidth and lower latency. While LTE can accommodate it, there are times when networks get congested and less congestion is a good thing. Lower latency also offers a better experience.

Do you need it? No. But you don't need a smartphone. At the same time, it's possible that someone will create something that you won't know how you lived without that's made possible by more bandwidth/capacity and lower latency.
Just tested mine (I still use that provider for my phone) 100mb down, 30mb up, 21 ping unloaded (I’m about 20 miles from the DC the server was located.). However once the connection was loaded down the ping shot up to 497ms.
While it’s true the barometric pressure is included in the ATIS information every plane will get before landing, pilots also rely heavily on GPWS callouts when landing and those are provided by radio altimeter and not the barometric one. It’s not an issue to land without them, and some approaches and emergency checklists require you turn them off to allow other messages to be announced without GPWS callouts taking priority - but it’s ideal to have them for sure.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I am someone who has watched the spread of covid denialism, anti-vaccination views and the the news media (which features stories such as: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177 ).

It doesn't seem to me to be much of a stretch to state that people who espouse the flat earth theory also espouse other conspiracy-theory views as well. What exactly, if anything, makes that difficult to believe for you?
> creating trillions of dollars and giving them to financial institutes.

those trillions were swapped, not given, to the financial institutes, in return for the bonds and treasuries they held.

It isn't the same sort of printing that you hear about in Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

If the gov't really printed trillions and gave them to people like you described, you'd get major inflation. Oh wait, that's already happening...and it's only a couple thousand for some people, and it's not printed, it's borrowed. Imagine the effects, if it was truly printed like you described!
Strangely enough there were tribes that refused to eat the same foodstuff as their neighboring tribes. People are funny about how they differentiate themselves from others.

The Californian Native Americans prided themselves on being fit and not eating fatty foods, subsisting off acorns and wild grasses, where as the Pacific northwestern natives threw fat feasts known as potlatch.

These would be wildly different restaurants.
This isn't a complete answer to your question, because it's generally more theoretical than operational, but the thing you're describing is often called "reduction":

In practice, there are many cases where people use SAT solvers for other problems.
For some examples:

You could also draw parallels to programmers, in that we used to have to figure things out the hard way, by experimentation, or by reading the documentation (gasp!), whereas nowadays people just go to StackOverflow for answers.

People aren't used to building their own understanding of things, but instead allow for an excessive amount of outside influence to slowly mold that understanding, without having control over it yourself. I recognize this often in myself, starting to think of a concept or problem, and giving up too soon when facing a complex train of thought and instead resort to trying to search for a solution online, or at least someone who's thought about the problem before. This Sucks™.

We're using our conceptualization skills less and less. I remember a time where you were able (or forced) to ponder a concept for minutes, or hours, or days/weeks (depending on the scope of the problem) since there wasn't an all-knowing web of information, whereas nowadays it's easy to just hit the "I give up" button and find a solution online.
I have no advice, but this is a very powerful way of looking for solutions. Today I ran into some physics postdocs at the skatepark. They told me about their research doing fluid mech experiments to simulate the behaviour of space near but not in a black hole. One of them (Sam) wrote his highly entertaining PhD thesis about the analogy of a draining bathtub's vortex with black holes

Mastodon has been very active, and a great way to network.
They won’t automatically know, but:

1) Anyone in the industry presumably knows about this news. If someone’s end date at Activision Blizzard is January 2022, they’re going to have a strong suspicion.

2) Backchannel reference checks (very warranted in this case) will likely confirm it. Activision Blizzard wouldn’t confirm anything other than start and end dates and any candidate-provided references are going to say good things, so it’s important to network and ask somebody who worked there at the time.
> But in the future you might see people drop their home internet and just go with SIM cards in everything.

I mean, maybe, but more likely to just be a 5G modem with wifi/ethernet, like has been available with LTE. I've got one with a $5/month plan as backup for my DSL, because my DSL is unreliable, and the local cable company doesn't service my house, and municipal fiber installation is unsubsidized and the actual installtion costs are too high, IMHO.
I don’t see what’s all that magical about assuming something that is 33% effective at any given moment would not all of a sudden become 100% effective at every other moment. But perhaps when you roll a die the same number appears every time. I just know that when I roll a die I generally have a 1/6 chance that my first number comes up again on every roll I try.

Perhaps randomness and chance is magical. I always thought it wasn’t.
Discussions around NFTs frequently involve someone making statements about URLs, followed by a defence along the lines of "every real NFT project uses IPFS, and every real buyer checks this". I picked a random artblock project and looked at its contract:

Unless I'm missing somethings these Artblocks NFTs are all entirely centralised around their servers.
Matrix math is just a standardized, regularized way of doing a whole hell of a lot of multiplication and addition en mass. Disassociation is arguably the goal: instead of remembering to add this, but multiply that, but divide this other thing, and subtract that... you just take the dot product of every row of the left matrix vs every column of the right matrix. Is is procedural math... if you optimize for simplicity of procedure.

Optimizing for simplicity of procedure can make computers quite happy, and reduce errors by humans (they can still make arithmetic errors, but will make fewer errors of procedure)... and also lets you build reusable optimizations to that simple procedure (math theory about matricies) that can then be shared across multiple domains (a lot of work has been put into optimizing e.g. sparse matricies.)

Figuring out an intuitive understanding of matrix values can be done, although it depends on the problem domain you're applying them to. My problem domain of choice is computer graphics. Rotating a vertex of a triangle can be done using a 3x3 matrix:

[ ux_x, ux_y, ux_z ]
[v_x, v_y, v_z] [ uy_x, uy_y, uy_z ] = [o_x, o_y, o_z]
[ uz_x, uz_y, uz_z ]

v_{...} is an input vertex position
o_{...} is an output vertex position

Can this be visualized? Yes!

ux_{...} is where a unit x vector (1,0,0) will end up at
uy_{...} is where a unit y vector (0,1,0) will end up at
uz_{...} is where a unit z vector (0,0,1) will end up at

What if I want to add an offset/position to all the verticies? Well, we don't want the multiplication bits then, so we need a 1 to have a noop multiply:

[v_x, v_y, v_z, 1.0]

And then we can use that 1.0 to add a new row to our matrix which will get added to the final output:

[ ux_x, ux_y, ux_z ]
[ uy_x, uy_y, uy_z ]
[ uz_x, uz_y, uz_z ]
[ t_x, t_y, t_z ]

Bam, we added [t_x, t_y, t_z] to [o_x, o_y, o_z]. t_{...} is then easily visualized as the new position where verticies were at the origin (0,0,0) will end up at, and u{...} becomes the position of the unit vectors relative to that origin, instead of in absolute coordinates.

EDIT: Adding a 4th column becomes useful for projection matricies in a way I don't have a super great intuition for... but it also lets us multiply transformation matricies together. This is quite useful: We can simplify "transform this vertex from the original mesh, into it's position relative to this larger model, into it's position in worldspace, into it's position relative to this camera" to "multiply against this single 4x4 matrix that we constructed using matrix multiplication."

There is PEAQ[1], so I suppose I should try implementations like GstPEAQ, Peaqb, and PQevalAudio. If anyone reading along has tried these and has thoughts on them or implementations I'm unaware of, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Typically I just do informal listening tests, in this case against Apple's AAC encoder (the gold standard). You're right that ideally, I'd do something more formal like double-blind ABX testing.

From what I've heard, even a lot of the modern "Mexican" dishes are heavily influenced by contributions from the Conquistadors and others. Citrus, cilantro, livestock, dairy, rice, onions... none of these are native to the Americas.
I've been saying for a long time they need to team up, or a 3rd party and create bundles... that's basically $40/month and you get HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney+, Apple -- and the $40 is split $5 to the 3rd party company, and then based on 'hours watched' by users... so you can watch whatever and whoever you watch the most of gets the majority stake in your monthly fees.

As a bonus this actually encourages them to work hard for your views.

To those who say: "But even if this is successful the same abuses will still happen in other countries" I say "Of course - so why stop at China?"

I feel like that's an uncharitable take.

Even if you take a very nihilistic view of company morality... for simple liability reasons, most places don't want someone fired for sexual harassment.

But it's trivial for those fired to not get caught. For example, it's likely some (not a majority, but some) people are leaving Activision Blizzard over what's been uncovered, they could claim to be part of that group. Or they could just lie and say the left earlier.
this is why I think irony has turned into an anti-pattern, not specifically the Miller example but that it's been successful before.
people have covered themselves with a shroud of "oh but I'm being ironic" with a wink and nudge in the ribs but are profiting off of their irony from those who espouse in the values expressed in the "irony" and from those who think they are being ironic.
You're kind of citing the successes only here, not the massive number of failures along the way. Nor did I state that an entrepreneur couldn't be a success, more that needing to be profitable could impeded desires to experiment or tinker with things not deemed to have immediate profit potential.

I would like to see environments where entrepreneurs are encouraged, and where failure doesn't mean financial ruin. The current landscape sees a lot of people betting their futures, or being completely unable to participate(health insurance/family concerns).

Alan Moore's point is that kind of violence (oh, you just knock him out, no harm done) doesn't exist. If you knock someone unconscious, you're lucky if they only suffer minor brain damage. Someone who goes around at night and giving people brain damage (if not outright murdering them) because they broke some moral code is a sociopath. There isn't "safe, good guy" violence and "dangerous bad guy" violence, it's all lethal violence.

I don't think there is a clear-cut answer, but rather some pros and cons, which you're already weighing. I'll just pass on some helpful advice that I got, and some of the things I learned while doing a Ph.D.

- A Ph.D. opens up two things: (1) ability to do research, and (2) ability to teach at a university. A Ph.D. makes more sense if you really want one or both of those things. If you're already involved in research at your company, and want to go into the same research area, what a Ph.D. offers is the ability to continue doing research in an academic context. There are a lot of benefits to working at a university (the profs I know really appreciate academic freedom), but I also hear persistent complaints about funding and how difficult it can be to find.

- Choice of advisor matters a lot. A great advisor is a very influential mentor, who will help you grow intellectually in very many ways, and help you make connections to other researchers. A bad advisor can be really destructive. You need to put a lot of effort into evaluating your top several possible advisors. Which of them do you like? What are their former students doing now? (All of their students, not just the most successful.) What are their research groups like? What can you learn about the advisor from their students? If you were as successful as their median student, would you be happy?

- Some departments have more cooperation, some are more competitive. One of my friends ended up in a department that was ridiculously competitive, to the point of students excluding and undermining each other when studying for qualifying exams. She didn't like it and left after getting a master's degree.

>I joined a really cool team

Don't underestimate the satisfaction that can come working as part of a great team. There are no guarantees that you'll be able to recreate that on demand at a later point, or that the research group you end up joining will be as good (though who knows? it could be better).

Also, I'm sure you've looked into this, but is there a possibility of doing formal research work at your company (taking classes towards a Ph.D., finding an advisor at a university to oversee the academic side of your research, etc.)?
I also recommend scheduling an ESL task.

most important sign to me of a broken or decadent leadership culture is always when people in charge do not take responsibility for what happens under them. One would think that comes with being in charge in the first place.
Seems like you stopped reading . The full sentence you quote is “These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections.”

Reinfections is the key word here indicating the study is about reinfections. You’re assuming it’s about initial infections. If they didn’t repeatedly say the word “reinfections” in the press release, you might have a point, but the reality is the CDC summary is accurate, as is the headline message that people will get stronger protection if they get vaccinated.
