The crowdsupply page has some insight on why they chose the SoM:

https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform

> Both SoC and memory chips sit on a System-on-Module (SoM) that we source from Boundary Devices, a US company that specializes in i.MX reference designs. We selected their "Nitrogen8M SOM" module for Reform because it is the only available module for which you can download the complete schematics and understand what every component does.
> Perhaps it would even recover after a few billion years and produce another intelligent species that wouldn't end up wrecking the place.

I have some bad news for you about the carbonate-silicate cycle.

Come on, this isn't true. Even with delta the waning efficacy had become obvious in those countries that vaccinated early, with all time high infections in jurisdictions that were virtually completely vaccinated (e.g. Israel, Waterford). One study estimated 211 days until protection vs infection was statistically indistinguishable from someone who was not vaccinated (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3949410).

And how can you possibly speculate that a vaccine evasive mutation is the fault of the unvaccinated? While we can only guess, the evolutionary pressure is obvious: a vast number of hosts available to the first variant that can defeat the narrow immunity against the spike protein. We created a monoculture, with all the attendant risks.
AP Tweet Jan 29, 2022...

"Tom Brady wraps up an unprecedented NFL career. His TB12sports Twitter account wrote: “7 Super Bowl Rings. 5 Super Bowl MVPs. 3 League MVP Awards. 22 Incredible Seasons." Still at the top of his game, he had cited a desire to spend more time with family."

https://twitter.com/ap/status/1487527717562032130

The Twitter linked AP Story Now...

"Despite reports that he is retiring, Brady has told the Tampa Bay Buccaneers he hasn’t made up his mind, two people familiar with the details told The Associated Press.

It’s unknown when he’ll make an announcement, leaving his team guessing and fans hoping for one more run that seems unlikely considering his age and family situation."

I think there are -- they just haven't made it through the trials and approval processes yet. These are press releases from Pfizer for whatever it's worth:

I think the general public’s perception of the consequences of infection are different depending on the disease.

I think most people see it as “covid = bad cold; HIV = death”.
Same for "microwaves are bad" believers. They are angry people. Over what, I do not know, but I think they have a deep fear of their own ignorance and use anger to compensate. Somehow they learned at a young age the winner of an argument is perceived as correct or smart, and the way to win is to wear people down. Every conversation is arm wrestling.
Google has to be careful for how it treads for anti-trust reasons.

For instance Google has a blocker for "annoying ads" in Chrome. Needless to say it is never going to block an annoying ad that is served by Google. The whole thing is asking for a lawsuit.

If Google is aggressive against adblockers it similarly becomes a target in a way it would be if there were 4 major players that each got 20% of the market and then a bunch of small players.

The most interesting thing happening in online advertising today is the pitch made by the video or podcast creator that is embedded in the content. I've got an emotional connection with Nate Silver or Ana Psychology that makes me more responsive to their pitch than the average pre-roll.
At least with the physical spam, I can use it in my woodstove as a firestarter.

I was responding to the above poster strictly on the idea that the majority of emissions is caused by 100 companies. That's strictly not true and equally irrelevant to the article.

But, to directly respond to your argument. Yes, eating less meat helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.[0] Until you can find a reliable source that says that it doesn't, we can stop talking about your baseless speculation that it doesn't.

To your other argument that it's useless to go vegetarian or vegan because it's not the primary source of emissions, that's just an excuse not to do anything. If you want to look at any of the causes of emissions in isolation they all look like the minority and your argument works equally well. "We shouldn't focus on solar because power production is only 25% of emissions." "We shouldn't look at industrial emissions because they are smaller than electric and agriculture." "We shouldn't look at concrete because it's really only a small percentage." "We shouldn't look at vehicular emissions because they are dwarfed by electric emissions." If we can't act on any problem because it's a small subset of the issue, then we can't look at any of the sources of emissions.

> I feel zero guilt about ad blocking.

I don't know why anybody would feel any guilt. When cable was the only thing available, I would switch to my Gameboy when ads would come on and mute the TV, effectively blocking the ads. I'm always curious if people who shame others about ad-blocking similarly think that action was immoral and I should instead be forced to keep my eyes open with superglue when the ads came on.

> People give Brave grief over BAT

Many people are against crypto-currency with no reason other to be contrarian (or they just really, really, really love JP Morgan/Chase). BAT is not even required to be used to use Brave...

I have mixed opinions on where the ad-blocking layer should live (I generally think at the router level), but there are some undeniable benefits to having at least some form at the browser-level as well, and I think Brave making this a default was a fantastic idea.
I remember some weird drama leaked out of this team a few months ago, but it was pretty vague and I didn't understand it.

I'm not that curious about the drama, but I wish we had more info about the governance of Rust and the vision of the remaining maintainers.

If these maintainers left on bad terms, what does that mean? Is their vision incomplete? Is Rust in good hands?
Anyone try Nolific? What advantages does it have over Notepad/Textedit?
The domination of Word over contract negotiations seems crazy from my engineer's point of view. Just to get a contract through with a few changes, we go through Word diffs, manual review, and these crazy confusing to parse tracked changes. And then when everything is said and done, the lawyers produce a "final PDF" and we have to run another comparison in Acrobat.

It's always seemed to me that git is the answer, but yeah, you'd need to prevail over the serious network effects of Word, deal with formatting (provision numbering, definitions, etc), and provide ways for lawyers to ignore the history or start from a clean "accept everything" slate at any phase of the negotiation. Not to mention all the back and forth happening over email in between drafts that can sometimes be valuable or even legally useful later on.
Fascinating. Thanks for clearing that up.
They did just that (at the top) and then changed the layout over time to what it is today. Of course the top spots are far more valuable than spots further down, in fact if your search result is not on page one it might as well not exist.
I guess the same as in diseases like tuberculosis. I’ve just read an article where they studied immune responses in recent TB infections. The authors recruited subjects from South Africa. I think it’s not that hard to get them to join the trials since payout can be quite significant where such disease are widespread, especially compared to Europe or North America. And some areas have just outrageous HIV prevalence. Just sample a hundred people and you get a decent sample size.
Another one! I'm interested to see how this plays out. Most of Microsoft's acquisitions in recent years have been failures. Studios that had been making iconic games were acquired by Microsoft and in short order were only making shovelware (see Rare post acquisition).

Sony doesn't seem to have the same problem. Sucker Punch and Insomniac are good examples of this, their output has been as good as ever since being acquired by Sony. From the outside looking in this seems to be because Sony understands how much creative freedom means to these teams, and they don't inject Sony management into the processes of previously successful game studios. I'd love to hear more of an insider opinion on why acquisitions over the last decade look so differently at these two companies though.
The omicron and delta vaccines have existed for awhile now. The FDA requires efficacy testing for each individual booster. If the omicron specific booster isn’t better “enough” than a booster of the already approved vaccine, it’s going to be suck in approval hell.

Regulatory bodies need to adjust to the new speed of mRNA vaccine production if we want that sort of release schedule.
Also, "quieting the ego" while also living in a western setting is a complicated thing at best and a bad mistake at worst.
If you stop caring about success or material gain, then at some point the desire to be competitive and efficient just fades away.

Why, life is full of free content. I sit on a park bench and talk to a friend we are providing free content to each other; when my son plays with our kids in the playground it is free content. When 22 strangers pay ball in the park they are providing free content to each other. Life is full of examples of people providing free contents to people around them, so why the internet should be the exception? This frame of mind that everything needs to be a transaction is rotten.

I think that should be illegal. If we are going to allow casinos to operate at all, then we shouldn't allow them to discriminate against potential customers on the basis that said customers are better at the game. If that means their business model is no longer viable, then that is their problem.
When I saw the headline I started laughing. I cannot for the life of me understand how these two companies make sense to glue together. Is Vista hoping it's like a bundled deal in the grocery store? Nobody wants to buy this particular brand of chocolate or this particular flavor of ice cream, but if I put it in a plastic bag and sell them together as a "weekly special" somebody will buy it???
Its not just to compete with Gamepass, it’s moving to where the customer is. Over the next 10 years, where is the growth in gaming going to come from? Hint: not selling more 400 watt white and black boxes dedicated to gaming that plug into screens. Sony and Microsoft are less interested in competing with each other and more interested in protecting the total market from Google, Amazon and Apple. None of those companies have legacy console business, have enormous cash piles and understand there is a bright future in gaming ($$$)
That would depend on the definition of a "cycle." If these truly enable 5x energy density there would be cars on the market with 1,200 - 1,500 mile range. The average American drives 40 miles per day.

If I were an average American driving an average amount and I charged my car every night it would be topping the battery from 97% to 100%. Does that qualify as a cycle? I don't know, but I doubt it. Even if I recharged once per week that would be 80% to 100%, and I would also doubt that qualifies as a cycle.

The authors estimated 10 year lifespan but I'm not sure how they came up with that number, either. If these batteries really do offer 5x density I would likely charge my car 30-40 times per year.
It is not just crypto, it has been happening in gaming communities for a long time. Sometimes it's just fishing for more of their own page views, other times it it more malicious such as offering a trojaned game client that will steal your login details [0]. It is very cheap and easy to do because the communities are relatively small.

I also had to sign a document saying I would end up owing the company money if I left without completing their "training" and/or basically trying my best to get placed. FWIW, I told them it would be difficult as a fresh grad to cough up that much money, and that the arrangements were not exactly as advertised. They tried to add me on linkedin, but I did not accept the request for obvious reasons. They did not pursue.
Yes. My company (>50.000 employees, ~ 4 billion revenue) apparently thought it too complicated to roll our own best practice stack based on OSS.
Maybe company is changing approach - LG shut down their mobile department, Sony is selling some minuscule amounts, not sure about Motorola/Lenovo though (but I'm aware of their horribly slow almost non existent updates policy).

So apart from Chinese xiaomi, huawei and other vivo, oppo, poco sidekicks Samsung seems to be last major non-chinese brand standing strong and even dominating market - they are aware that there is almost no alternative if someone doesn't want Chinese brand AND wants something cheaper than iPhone
Then why do they want clients to use Gnome (indtead of other libraries) ? When every program does what he wants why do we need a "Desktop environment " ?
The company makes a few other cars, most of them extremely quirky with only a windshield to protect you from the elements. But depending on the climate you live in, they do indeed make some street legal "dumb cars"
Does anyone know of a more generalized framework for doing this kind of thing? I'd been meaning to write a framework kind of like this for some time, but never got around to it, and was hoping someone else would. This one unfortunately doesn't really check the important boxes, but it's a good start. I was hoping more for:

* Target language agnostic (this one seems to get mostly there) -- the nodes communicate data/logic flow, you then serialize/deserialize accordingly.
* Focus on data flow, not just execution -- IO from nodes, visual indicators of data types (colors or something)
* Capable of visually encapsulating complexity -- define flows within flows
* Ideally embeddable in web apps (e.g a browser/electron frontend or something)

These are pretty popular to embed in complex "design" oriented applications, especially ones that involve crafting procedures by non-programmers (e.g. artists, data scientists, etc). Examples where this is implemented that come to mind include Blender, Unity, and Unreal.

A core part of the fundamental design of each one of the successful implementations is that they allow efficient code to be crafted by people who don't think they understand code. Making it visual helps engage the brains of certain kinds of people. The "code as text" paradigm is spatially efficient, but it's like a brick wall for some people.
That you know of. How does anyone know?

Edits:

Imagine the NFL learns that yesterday's NFC Championship game was fixed. What would they do? Make it public and destroy their entire enterprise? My guess is that many would hide it if they could, and the people involved certainly wouldn't want to talk about it.

And imagine if they learn about it in 6 months, long after the Super Bowl. Just in terms of on-field results, how do they fix the problem? Take back the trophy from a team and city that thought they won it six months ago? Replay the game in August?
If you have never driven an old car (35 years or older) you should try. Especially if you can find one with a carburetor engine and a bit of power. It is gloriously relaxing.
> If mRNA vaccine was as magical as it was marketed, we wouldn’t be getting 3-4(and soon 5?) doses of the same vaccine with the emergence of new variants. Rather, there would be delta- and omicron-specific vaccine.

Is this a problem with mRNA, a problem with the approval-for-vaccine-variants process, a problem with funding, or a problem with the politicians who thought COVID would magically go away by August 2021 (Never mind that most of the world was nowhere close to being vaccinated, and the millions of sick people throughout it were happily producing variants)?

I am ignorant on most of these subjects, but I would be surprised if the mRNA part of that was the problem!

This is why that ML/AI realtime deepfake software is so scary. Imagine if the person speaking is just mapping their facial expressions onto the face of the person you're actually getting.

>This is why remote exams have all of those strict requirements like "show us your room" and "don't leave sight of the webcam"

I'd imagine this could be defeated with a prerecorded video of the "interviewee" showing their room.
The slow part is the safety testing right? If we had a robust enough theory of vaccines safety we could reduce that. How are the yearly flu shots tested anyway? Now, I would not take such a HIV shot. But for high risk groups, think promiscious homosexuals, it may eventually be worth it.
This is the path I want to be in but like you said, very unlikely. People see IT in my resume and move on to the next guy.
Right. As long as we also we have hard measures to deal with those whose personal choices begin impacting their fellow citizens.
I can't imagine a reasonable non-math context :)
Missed the quiting part.

It doesn't really matter if it's a diff. It matters that it was a diff that the husband apparently thought pertinent enough to mention. If it plays any part in the decision, or can show that they preferred single people in the interview, then it could be basis for a law suit (whether it would win or go to settlement is a different issue).
Pretty easy to add this aftermarket.

This blog drives me up the wall with ads that cover the content, particularly on mobile devices

https://tonyortega.org/

The buttons for closing the content are hard enough to hit on a touch screen that at least 50% of the time I am going to wind up clicking on the ad by accident. I don't want to reward that behavior so I don't attempt to close the ads.

It's a certain sign that Scientology is a shadow of what it used to be that David Miscavige hasn't unleashed his flying monkeys to make accusations of click fraud against that site. Maybe they just aren't as internet saavy as Heaven's Gate.
I had this happen to me when the poker planning widget we were using was offline (can't complain about free services). I googled around then found something, gave it a go on my system, and then gave it to my team. When someone started sharing their screen, I was embarrassed by the amount of highly personal ads that I saw (fat loss, vacation things). I saw none of that. I felt terrible for suggesting it. No one else seemed to notice or care, but - it's amazing.
Do you think sports gambling is not inevitable? Because until relatively recently, it was illegal in the US outside of Vegas and it still very much happened. Whether it was a local bookie or offshore betting websites, anybody that wanted to gamble already was. The only difference is that none of it was taxed.
What really happened during the Holocaust? Let's call the truth theory A. Some people, who don't actually really care what happened during the Holocaust and seek to argue in bad faith, would love to see "equal time" be given to theory A and their own "theory", B. But we can take it further. Let's give equal time to each of theories A, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, ... B327 (ancient Egyptian mummies coming back for revenge against the Jews), B328 (an early prototype of their space laser malfunctioned), etc.

Now A gets 1% of the time and crazy gets 99% of the time. Decide for yourself what's true!
My Honda Accord is pretty good with this -- it has a lot of smart features, but also has buttons for pretty much everything I need (real clickable buttons or knobs, not touch sensitive buttons that give no tactile feedback)

The voice response system is horrible, if I have to use the Honda navigation, I almost always need to stop so I can type in my destination. But since I use Android Auto 99% of the time, it doesn't really bother me.
The Southern Tier was built first. It was liquid fueled missiles with larger warheads, spanning from, if I recall correctly, Arkansas/Missouri to New Mexico. Those silos required hours of preparation to launch, as they had to be fueled first. They had the maintenance and launch control integrated in the facility.
I sense Sony is in dire straits when it comes to both IP availability and their ability to compete with Microsoft.
>That a political question

That's not political, it's science, statistics, facts.
Prohibition = more overdoses, more violence, more untreated addiction, younger users, richer criminals, more abuse from the police, more corruption, less incentive to educate yourself/learn a trade when you come from a poor area, more likely to be BORN addicted to drugs because your mom was terrified of getting help before/when she was pregnant, more likely to get aids, more likely to have your life completely and permanently ruined.

This whole debate can end in one word: Portugal. There is no debate really, only ignorance.

It would be silly for the existing mainline franchises of several games to become exclusive to Sony, just like the same with Microsoft with their recent purchases of Activision and ZeniMax. Who doesn't want more money for multi-platform and cross-play games?

I would expect that the spin-offs or DLCs and the new IP from those studios to make them exclusive.
