Agreed that a lot of carbon offsets look like, "we were going to cut this section of the rainforest down, but if you pay us, we won't do that for X period of time." This is _actually_ reducing existing emissions.

I hate social media, and use it as little as possible, but can't figure out how to do what you are saying here in practice without total social isolation in the real world outside of social media.

For example, there are several sports I participate in (physically, in real life) but these are organized on either Instagram or Facebook. I have created accounts solely to access this information (date/time of events). Facebook and Instagram are constantly disabling and blocking my accounts, apparently because my low engagement (zero posts, only "lurking") triggers some sort of bot detector algorithm. I have no recourse, and can't contact anyone at Meta about this.

I've tried getting these communities to inform me outside of facebook/instagram, but it's too big of an ask. These mediums work for everyone else except me, and the people involved lack the tech savvy or interest in trying to find an alternative.
Not a practitioner in consumer protection law or employment law, but my only-slightly-educated hot take is this:

Religious accommodation is probably a red herring. Most state laws are weaker than federal law, and federal law - RFRA and RLUIPA - don't apply here.

Arguably, the false shipping notification is a violation of the FTC's regulations on mail, internet, and telephone order sales. See 16 CFR Part 435 at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/part-435.

The regulation focuses on a default deadline of 30 days or a representation about shipping dates at the time of solicitation, so it may not apply; however, the FTC has taken action against companies that print shipping labels in advance but don't actually ship for some time. I started going down a rabbit hole, but had to cut it off, so I'm not sure what the right analysis on this piece. However, I'm not sure it matters, because...

What we really care about is wrongful termination for being a potential whistleblower. And you can be a whistleblower without being right. Retaliation for refusing to engage in an act the employee reasonably believes to be illegal is the real area of legal risk here. However, until/unless the FTC Whistleblower Act becomes law, https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6093..., this is a question of state law.

TL;DR: Classic lawyer answer: "it depends." If the state they're in protects employees who object to conduct they reasonably believe to be illegal, and the employee reasonably believes the false statements about shipping are unfair and deceptive trade practices, that's probably the ballgame. If the state they're in doesn't offer that protection, then maybe not.

"A curb cut is authority granted to you by the owner of the road (often the state government) to make a physical change to your property and the road to allow customers access"

This development model is very specific to Illinois and should not be generalized across the country. In many places the road could be owned by a local development corp, the county, a non-profit, a pension fund, the bank itself or some combination of the above. Illinois has harsh winters, a 9-5 suburb/downtown traffic pattern, average traffic and lots of land which makes the drive through an important feature and curb cuts EXTREMELY valuable.

Please, let your disparagement run free. It allows us to understand that your motivation is to protect your emotional state, not to simply convey information as has been the nature of discussion up to this point. As I have no emotional attachment to the subject, I'm not bothered by it and am able to learn that you are not here in good faith.

Contradictory information is welcome, encouraged even, but I am not sure your criticism, no matter how constructive, is on-topic information. The subject here is pretty well defined. Worrying about what I may have done wrong does not add value to the thread of information here.

Bringing this back to the topic at hand to not derail it further, millennials hold the power. They are largely not concerned with it. Technical understanding to some degree doesn't mean one is an expert in all matters of tech. Security is actually not well understood by most, even those who are involved with tech professionally. As an example, "don't implement your own encryption" is common advice given because we realize that security and related matters is actually really hard to understand and really easy to get wrong.

We’ve done some cool things with Pion, like running GIMP server-side and streaming it to a browser[1]. So thanks!

I’m not the one who worked directly with Pion so I don’t have direct feedback on it, but one thing I think would do a lot of good for WebRTC data channels becoming widespread is client and server nodejs bindings that abstract away all the complexity so that it is as easy as using websockets. If developers could implement this stuff without having to learn acronyms like TURN and STUN, I think it could be pretty popular.

Thanks for kind words all :)

Scale - backend: As we're rapids.ai-native (helped start early days of both Apache Arrow + Nvidia RAPIDS.ai), we work with customers doing billion-level nodes/edges in interactive time on GPU servers. Mostly for fast ingest, ETL, + graph neural nets / manifold learning, and we're slowly pushing that into the visual stack.

Scale - frontend: We normally recommend reducing down to about ~2M edges or less. For sensible visual experiences, add in auto algorithms that cut to more like 500K. We've planned a way we think we can do another 100X, just not (yet) an engineering priority. Fun fact: your browser's JS VM is limited to ~1GB of RAM, so we're already at that limit in practice.

RE:Scaling graph visuals as an engineering practice, it looks like memgraph is starting where neo4j reached a few years ago, and makes sense. That approach doesn't really work well for the use cases memgraph advertises for, because as soon as a bunch of user/customer/IT/etc events happen and get visualized, the browser crashes. Optimization approaches like wasm and workers are clever -- a v0 prototype of graphistry did that! -- but we found is too unreliable to be the path for good performance across users of most operational teams ("Works on my machine" syndrome). Do it, but that shouldn't be the main source of 100X performance, just a 2X boost. We end up connecting GPUs in the browser to GPUs in the datacenter not just for 100X'ing this kind of stuff, but for a predictable performance way that limits how often your user's browser crash on real datasets.

Also maybe not obvious, this article focuses on interactive rendering, but a lot of the challenge after they figure out how to solve it is interactive analytics too. Most layout algorithms have non-linear complexity, so O(500K) is actually a challenge. A lot of our GPU offloading work nowadays isn't just rendering but layout, ETL, ML/AI clustering, etc. This ends up overwhelming the browser (why we do distributed GPU), and OLTP graph DB's aren't good at that either -- Neo4j basically had to write a V2 DB-in-a-DB to make their Graph Data Science module perform.

And no worries: There's no competition because Graphistry isn't a graph database :) Most of our users will do something like databricks dashboard / jupyter notebook / powerbi / etc query <> graphistry visual. I bet pairing a great streaming db like memgraph with Graphistry would combine respective engineering strengths quite well!

>>Unbeatable warranty

They turned from god tier to trash tier after Brexit. Literally the only company that didn't invest in a UK-based repair centre, so when I recently had to send my broken EVGA Black 2080Ti for repair, I was told to ship it to Germany, then got charged £200 in customs duties for replacement shipped back to me. The thing is, there is a way to avoid customs on replacement items following warranty claim - but EVGA doesn't care to fill out the customs documents properly. I messaged them telling them exactly how to fill it out properly so it will go through without charges(we do this kind of thing all the time), they basically said yeah sorry not our problem, we gave you a new GPU for free so why are you complaining. And I'm not the only one with this issue - quick look at their forums shows loads of UK-based people getting charged customs duties for parts sent by EVGA. They just advise to appeal to HMRC for a refund(which is actually pretty difficult to do and can take months), like it wasn't their bloody issue in the first place.

Already made a vow to never buy anything from EVGA again after that, so I'm pretty glad this won't even be a risk now.
Hi,

Thanks, I will re-format any future questions I have.

buescher I should pick up a materials science textbook and maybe some inorganic chemistry books too. I've found that the FAEs for our suppliers are pretty slow and we'd have to shut our factories down due to lack of parts if we waited for them, although I do still interact with them. Obviously, that's supplier specific.

a_finkelstein you are my hero!!!

Presumably EVGA didn't do forensics, and if they did, they may not have had incentive to publicize the defect.

Suffice it to say that most materials are flammable if they get hot enough. And there are plenty of reasons why a circuit board with many components hooked up to a power supply might get really, really hot. I'm surprised electronic components don't catch fire more frequently.
It's a debated thing. I consider the PNW to be a shared biome, and that area feels much more like the Oregon coastline than the rest of California -- distinct from Sonoma County-ish on south.
EVGA is not obligated to allow the retailer to sell using EVGA's trademark, or give access to reseller pricing if the retailer does not follow their terms and conditions on advertised price. The retailer actually can sell at lower prices, so long as it is not advertised. This is why you see weird "log in to see price" online or "call for pricing" in print.
Do you have any recommendations? I live in a 1-bedroom apartment (so noise level is important) and have been looking for some quiet wine fridge (or perhaps a wine+canned beverage combo fridge).

It's also common for them to say that this apartment has "just been rented," and then show them a completely different apartment for their clients. Usually these apartments are both worse and more expensive.

Ummmm, Constitution before Amendment for anything explicitly stated … unless explicitly ratified by Congress and 3/5th of all states and signed by a president.

See any amendment impacting age of president, vice president, or congresscritters?

Besides, clearly-defined elected Federal office is a privilege, not a first-class citizen nor a rights, much less citizen-related.

Furthermore, only the 7th Federal District ruled like you advocate. None of the remaining 12 districts agree with this and only one ruled against it.

IMHO, Supreme Court will likely vote this down given leaning 1-12 opinion count but a third district probably needs to chime in with any ruling on this before SCOTUS can take it up and put it on their docket.

But even so if it should get ruled in favor, it remains a far, far, far-away tenuous claim toward an age-nostic but voter-elected president/VP/Congress of what are already well-defined clearly-concise Constitutional job descriptions.

Besides, 14th Amendment is an instruction toward the 50 states and not toward Federal. See “No state shall …” part of the 14th.

Nothing amendment, as currently written and ratified, would be able to touch those said Federal job descriptions.

Sorry.

How would unicellular organisms procreate exactly?!

I am not being pedantic here but procreation usually entails sexual reproduction and I don't see how this is possible for these organisms.
> “Possibly” is the crux of that question, as it requires knowledge and expertise to answer in any kind of real way.

That is untrue. If you mean by "...it requires knowledge and expertise to answer" domain knowledge.

It is possible to understand the implications of technology without mastering it.

The experts in the field have huge incentives to say it is safe.

If we are to make decisions about releasing novel self replicating organisms into the environment, we should not task the people who will profit (scientists) to decide if it is a good idea or not.

That said, I will continue to resent and distrust and disparage w3schools because of their shady past. The only reason they cleaned up their act was the concerted efforts of w3fools, Paul Irish et al -- which efforts were only ever expended bc w3schools had succeeded in pwning SEO/SERPs and it was such a distraction and blight on our profession.

Unless they patched few things out recently, the bill was written so that:

b) The age verification requirements to properly disprove that the accessing party isn't a child were idiotically draconic (thus the surveillance part)
