This really is pretty amazing work. But, to the uninitiated, there's a dark side; I overheard someone commenting about an earlier post about this experiment, thinking it's possible to get out a chemistry set and just make a living thing. To be clear, they started with stem cells, and teased them into doing the right thing - they did not create a new living artifact from scratch;

> Instead, they used stem cells - the body’s master cells, which can develop into almost any cell type - and then mimicked natural processes in the lab.

You are right, organized crime has never existed in this country. Hasn't required complex new statutes be created to go up against their sophistication. The government doesn't shout from the rooftops with their limited victories. You got me.

If you exclude the history of crime in this country and go only from the context of this specific conversation, you have a valid argument.

There are no Mexican cartels. They definitely don't operate in the USA (because they could never operate in a covert way in the USA and a public way in Mexico, being smart and adjusting to fit situational needs). The cartel just sits on the other side of the border and 'hopes' their product makes it to market and hopes they can find random repeat drug smugglers for their BILLION dollar operations.

The mafia was wiped out by the Feds. Vegas is totally clean of corruption.

MCs are just guys that enjoy riding together and having chapters spread throughout the country.

I can't buy illegal drugs in every town in American (which would require a sophisticated multistate/international logistics network). I can't launder money (yet the government continues to impose complex money laundering rules on banks at significant cost to the industry for some reason?). There aren't massage parlors in every city with women from China/Korea, with those women routinely changing out.

And if anything illegal is happening, it just random individuals, acting on their own, who HAPPEN to not get caught. A multi billion dollar international network, that has an uninterrupted supply of drugs/gambling/sex in most ever town in the country, all done by random people that somehow make it come together.

Invention Could Supercharge Solar Panels [video]
Don't many modern web standards start off with a single browser experimenting and implementing something? This seems like a common criticism when it comes to new features that's disconnected from the reality of how web standards are made. If I remember right, proposals can't even progress to being considered a web standard by the standards groups until after multiple browsers have implemented it.

> "free" as in "solar"

What does this even mean? The average solar panel lasts 25 years and starts to degrade in efficiency before that. And then you have batteries which of course are also going to degrade and need to be replaced over time. Many countries are starting to get more serious about e-waste as well now that China has decided it won't take the world's trash any more so you might even have to occur a cost for getting rid of used panels as well.

There's plenty of costs in solar energy, so what does "free" mean here? Are you trying to take into account the possibility of selling excess energy back to the grid?
They same reason I hate about human right violation practice, despite it doesn't affect my in anyway (some even benefit me, like slavery labor).

The piece points out that California, unlike Texas, is part of a large area energy grid. Bucky Fuller is known to have proposed a global power grid many years ago [1]. It would seem that the Western states are picking up on that idea. Not to ignore the fact that this grid has some battery backup capabilities.

You're integrating AI and data management? Sounds promising for your case. For one, it's highly improbable that we're not moving towards some type of tool which would manage a person's data -- be it a spreadsheet, or just an email. And since your partner is using a spreadsheet-like tool to compose a long-form piece, it only sounds more likely.

i'm working on a v2 of a site i created to allow people to find independent radio shows they'll enjoy (www.ephem.fm).

the current site texts you when shows matching your preferences are about to start. the next iteration will have visualizations of the music being played by each station in close to real time and allow you to select between them, save them, etc. the visualizations will be updated each minute and colors will be selected by the HSL color system, where hue = tempo (from blue for slower to red for faster), saturation (or intensity of color) = loudness, and lightness = pitch (technically, spectral centroid or 'center of mass' of frequencies of music).

i also want the ui to allow people to select from stickers i've taken pictures of around nyc and arrange them similar to concert venue bathrooms or middle school lockers haha.

altogether, want to create a fun way to explore independent radio!
>I'm sure putting up with all of NVIDIA's crap is barely worth it even when making a decent profit

It's illustrative to remember who and what started this: nVidia's practice of intentionally undercutting their manufacturing partners. See, manufacturing partners tend to apply secondary binning of their cards and sell them with an overclock thus delaying their obsolescence for a year or so, and that's bad when you're in the business of selling the chips themselves (while neutral to the secondary manufacturers; you just buy a new GPU from them a year later, who cares).

So it really isn't a surprise that that, combined with artificially limiting supply for the 40-series GPUs (and most of that allocation is likely going to be to, well, themselves), and now the fact that the price that nVidia likely demanded for those GPUs is coming around to bite the secondary manufacturers, meaning that they all bought (or were required to buy) the GPUs at inflated prices, they're leaving the business.

And guess what manufacturer wasn't forced to pay that premium? That's right, nVidia! So they alone have room to drop prices and still make a profit, while making the value proposition even worse for the secondaries (price premiums for overclocking make less sense as they diverge from the base model and those improved coolers are more expensive to make than nVidia's solutions).

EVGA is understandably the first to bow out; they've never dealt with AMD (who have supply problems for other reasons), whose GPUs haven't been the premium product for a while (arguably, ever), and if they say it's no longer profitable even before a primary usecase for GPU compute vanished overnight I'm inclined to believe them.

And sure, there are still going to be secondary manufacturers producing cards, but most of the other manufacturers are either do-all companies (large OEMs more famous for motherboards and laptops), produce AMD cards too (Zotac-Sapphire-Inno3D), or are otherwise diverse enough (PNY) that ramping down production wouldn't kill them as a company...

This happened to me last year on my own property in my own parking space, and my landlord refused to tell me for weeks and weeks who towed my car, and then refused to pay the fee.

I want to sue (towing fees became larger than what I put into the car) but I have no idea how to proceed? I don't have a family to depend on for this kind of advice. The market has been so insane since that I still haven't purchased a new car.

Open to any advice about how to not let these bastards win. My car was straight stolen from my parking spot, with everything inside.
Maybe? With current systems, a surprising number of people vote without any belief that their vote will make a big difference. And yet, if enough people do that, those votes do in fact make a big difference.

Celebrities have been elected quite a few times, and presumably at least some of those votes came from people who assumed the celebrity in question wasn't going to win, and so there was no risk in their vote.

> to understand why so many pregnancies fail and how we might be able to prevent that from happening

Are we sure that's a good idea? I've read that one of the reason for early pregnancy failure is that the embryo is not fit enough and it would be a waste of time and resources to commit to it.

Another very counterintuitive finding is that if you try to implant embryos in various tissues (brain, liver, ...), the one in which is the hardest is the uterus! Because it's actively fighting against the embryo.
I think this is a cool idea! But I disagree with your direction. Lets say you do rework everything to be web assembly and not bound to BYOND. I'm sure the 300 people that play SS13 would love it. But I don't think that goes far enough, for the effort required.

I think rebuilding SS13 in unity would overall be a great idea, but there is the problem of how complex SS13 is that would need to be worked. But I think with the right baby steps and SOLID design, it could be done.

But I do feel like any effort to rebuild would not be a huge success. SS13 is fun, but comparatively niche. Though as a mobile game there's a huge market.

Whenever I get to know a developer that dabbles with game development, most of the time I can be confident that they know their stuff.

It's such a demanding field that if you're passionate about it, you're bound to learn a lot of things. I don't do game dev anymore but the time I did taught me a lot about what I know now.
I believe the introvert/extrovert divide also plays a role here. Some people in general can't be alone or they feel their energy is draining (extroverts), whereas others - I guess those who love to dine alone - feel their batteries recharged during alone time.

I'm just finishing up Andrew Ng's course, and would like to pick up a GPU for building models (probably focusing on U-net image models), do you have any references on what I should expect from trying to buy a used one like you did?

I know it's a pretty random question, but i honestly don't know anything about GPU's other than that my life would be a lot easier if I had one (I run an old Macbook Pro, and I have an old Asus laptop that runs a debian distro, and finally my very old gaming pc is a alienware alpha).
I echo this sentiment exactly. I have a lot of technical expertise in phone systems, and I can assure you, spoofing is ridiculously easy. The sheer level of creativity of these pirates is dumbfounding.

Park where you can, hope your car is there tomorrow, hope there isn't a gas leak, road collapse or towed randomly

Its so absurd we had a TV show called Parking Wars.

I was courtesy towed last week. I spend a year backing down a narrow (one car width) alley because we had a pothole the size of Alaska. I pushed an abandoned car onto broad street during rush hour to get it towed after 6 months. I had my car towed because of a local celebrity funeral. All my tires were slashed during the BLM riots. My friends car was flipped at the Phillies parade, anothwrs at the eagles rally. I've gotten hit with a baseball bat for asking someone to move their car.

Welcome to hell

Edit: did I mention our parking "authority" is extremely predatory, run as a nepotism program for local Republicans, siphons money from the city and has been routinely found to be absolutely kafkaesque. So bad they actually had their own petty court removed for being a essentially kangaroo court?

Except that's not what happened. The shop owner was attacked in store by the singular robber, and the robbers friends were waiting outside.

The fictional account you've constructed you're probably right about, but it has little to do with reality.

> Gibson noticed that the student was concealing two other bottles of wine inside his jacket.[10][6] According to a police report, Gibson told the student he was contacting the police, and when Gibson pulled out his phone to take a photo of the student, the student slapped it away, striking Gibson's face.[11] The student ran out of the store. Gibson followed and then grabbed and held onto the shoplifter outside the store after the shoplifter had also assaulted the store owner, David Gibson.[6] Two other students, Cecelia Whettstone and Endia Lawrence, friends of the shoplifter, joined the scuffle.[6] When the police arrived, they witnessed Gibson lying on the ground with the three students punching and kicking him.
You know exactly why contextualization and characterization is important, don't pretend there isn't merit to such an accusation if indeed true.
Yeah to me it's like the main thing that makes Slack useful. I have a ton of them hooked up. I'm in the events business so I have a feed of ticket sales, there's a feed from the sales department of opps opened, there's a feed from Confluence that tells me when someone edited one of our internal wiki pages, we have a shout-outs channel connected to our employee recognition platform that gets lots of attention when peer to peer praise comes in, we have one that's connected to our customer help chatbot on the homepage, which is expecially useful for responding to very timely questions about live events almost instantly (we get a lot of love for that), and a few others. I'm always thinking of new ones to write.

Having all the notifications just coming into one place is really good for "situational awareness" and I think it's one of Slack's main killer use cases.
Would like tro hear more of what you're thinking! I agree it's important, but it's also secondary to building. Facebook has no tests, for example. Would tests make them more profitable?

But I'm not dismissing testing in unity. I think there are some simple approaches to testing automation that could be done. It would be nice if unit testing made more sense but in reflection i've often found it's the integration of components that breaks or changes, less than the behavior itself.
