You should be careful about such "I'm sure" statements. "Right wing" Fediverse is very tolerant in moderation, that which results in bans, the only big issue is how much, if any pornography to allow and that gets fierce arguments. The big issue users might run into is harassment, but there are fine grained controls that allow you to trivially ignore or block such people going forward.

Other issue which may not matter so much if you're "a fascist capitalist pig" is that your instance will likely be blocked by left wing Fediverse nodes. This can get silly, there are blocklists that often cite as cause nothing more than the software "right wing" nodes use, or in one case written by a particular developer. Too much of the Fediverse is that tribal.

For a concrete example, look at how TERF spinster.xyz federates with "right wing" nodes and is blocked by many left wing ones, including all the ones I could look up just now with a Google search.

I use scare quotes for right wing because many of these sites are politically neutral or thereabouts.
That's true but the more senior the position, the truer it is. If a new grad or candidate for a junior position seems to have the skills for an internally-facing position, I'm more likely to overlook some social awkwardness or so-so communication skills than in someone more senior.
As a six year old I dreamed of building AGI on Atari Basic. Clearly I had a few things to learn about resource constraints in addition to having no actual theory of AGI but kudos to a cool product for its time. I think it’s hard for people today to realize how much access to computers cost back in 1980 and why stuff like this was so vital.
after the write up, there was a podcast below, now im confused if its called zish or zee-ess-aech?

This spring I jumped on a plane to meet my old buddy Bowen Dwelle in Corsica to hike the GR20 - Europe’s most challenging and most interesting long distance trekking route.

We recorded a nightly podcast to debrief and finally got it up!

The GR20 was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, and this podcast was a fun time capsule of our adventure together.

We touch on life, leadership, insights, mens work, get into some fights live, and otherwise go deep into our 20+ year friendship.

I’m a high performance coach for Unicorn founders, and Bowen is a writer, former EO President, and founder / investor.

Let me know what you think!

Note: we kept the audio unedited to allow you to meander with us and to capture the spirit of each day. This may be a bug or a feature for you — but we had been taking way too long to publish, and after spending a night with the author of Sex at Dawn in Crestone, CO a couple weeks ago, we were inspired to have fun and leave it raw.
A growing number of people only have a smartphone. This is probably alien to most people here, but I've had more than a few friends who haven't owned a laptop or tower in years, if they ever did. It's only recently that you could even connect a USB mass storage device to most phones to do an offline backup. I'm not sure apps for that even exist.

Musk went from being a real life Tony Stark to being a bigoted nuisance with the world's largest margin calls in record time. Tesla floated on his reality distortion field, not his supposed management "skills."

Just like Beyond Meat is a food company, Tesla is a car company. It will be valued like a car company that sells a comparable number of cars at comparable margins. Tesla can't be re-levitated by the guy who re-platformed catturd.
Good point about the layoffs, but, like startups, most side projects never go anywhere, why would you expect them to ?

Last I checked, the average failure rate of software projects was 90 % (which is a good thing, other kinds of projects, like bridges, can't afford to, and have to be "over"engineered).
After spending years maintaining a home grown billing system, I recommend against rolling your own. It's frustrating to spend time adding yet another hack to account for some new use case while there is a stack of other priorities waiting (that more directly impact the value of the business). I learned through experience that billing systems are complex and the complexity can sneak up on you over time.

Well. I looked the case up.

Here is how i am understanding it: Pfizer wanted a drug to be approved for a specific use. The FDA rejected it as too risky, approved it for other uses. Pfizer nevertheless was pushing the drug for this unaproved, off-label use. The drug later proved to be dangerous in this off-label use and were whitdrawn from the market.

Am I reading this wrong? What part of this is controversial?

Trick is that this is not DIY, but fully functional and supported product. Featuring more user friendly interface with OpenWrt underneath out of the box. Also supporting automatic updates with migration path between big releases. Started with kernel 4.4 and 15.05 OpenWrt, but supporting migration to current state of kernel 5.15 and OpenWrt 21.02 and migration to 22.03 is being worked on.
I used to play with hardware MIDI devices - at first without a PC (just a Q80 sequencer as the "hub") and then with a PC.

MIDI isn't technically tied to a medium, but the only notion of addressing are MIDI channels (at least the classic v1 from the 80s) - you can target messages to any channel 1-16. It's up to you to set your devices to listen on the right channels. For example: If you have a keyboard set to transmit on channel 5, and two modules listening on channel 5, they'll both play when you press a key on your keyboard.

Classic MIDI with the DIN plugs was a RS-232 wire protocol - devices typically had an IN, OUT and often a THRU port to forward all received MIDIs (some forwarded everything out of the OUT port). Latency was a problem with the older devices, but there were "MIDI hubs" that fixed that, and when computers started getting MIDI hardware (Atari ST had it built-in, and ISA MIDI cards for the PC were a thing), it got better.

So as long as devices are connected via some serial-like communication method and can forward to each other, MIDI will work over it if all the devices involved can use it. I'm not too familiar with everything Bluetooth but I know that Bluetooth virtual serial/COM ports are a thing. MIDI speeds are low (33Kbit/sec). Classic MIDI will work just fine over that, without any additional engineering, as long as all nodes agree to send and receive MIDI over it.
Solid jurisdiction to consider but too cold for my tastes and parts are expensive. If you can afford Vancouver or Toronto, or don’t mind living in Calgary or Montreal (one of my favorite places on Earth when warm, also the safest city in North America) instead, it’s a fine place to expat to while remaining close to US soil.

But I can query that information. Disclaimer: I work for https://pokieslab.com/real-money-pokies/ helping you to enjoy.
Indeed, if someone refers to me as "they" then (1) I am being misgendered (2) probably intentionally (3) to score some political goal.

That this is considered "okay" by certain people proves that they do not care about (1) or (2), only (3).

"He" -> "they" further implies that there's something wrong about "he", a defect not present in "they". Otherwise the opposite replacement would also be acceptable. It is morally despicable.
Spot on. And I would add "let's make every GUI either web based or mobile based just to further annoy PC users".

> I would be thrilled if anything I made had enough cultural value after 20 years that the commons still had a use for it.

You would be thrilled that you made something that good. Since something that good is very very rare. You would be very upset that I was getting all the value that it provides for free just because of how long ago you made it.

> And as far as the publishers getting paid, the publishers are always getting paid. You signed away part of your rights to them to begin with, and if they couldn't get paid, they wouldn't publish your work to begin with. You've already decided they have the right to profit from your work, what's under debate is how long anyone else has to wait to do the same. 100% if I take anything off you without paying for it, you're going to be screaming from the rafters about how unfair it all is.

When you enter into a publishing contract the deal is they make money and you make money. Entering into a contract where they make money and you make nothing is fundamentally not a contract, it is not legal is nearly every country. This is why contracts where they sell companies with massive debt but have assets such as for example Football clubs sell for 1 pound/dollar/euro. There must be an exchange. The idea that it's ok for one entity to stop paying another entity just because "you knew I was going to be making money" is disgusting.

Personally, I think to disagree with the idea it's fair someone gets paid for their work is just pure greed. It's absolutely disgusting to think it's fair a company gets to make money off someone's work without paying them. I think people who think along those lines a morally bankrupt.

We should definitely not trust CZ because he said Binance.US is an independent entity then he ran it as a subsidiary. That's a pretty solid lie and also solidly explained in the article.

An independent entity operating as an exchange might do market making activities with many other exchanges. It seems Binance.US only does that with Binance.

An independent entity operating as an exchange should be directly responsible for and in possession of customer funds that have been deposited with them. Binance.US couldn't fulfill withdrawals without Binance's help. That should not ever be necessary if these are separate entities.

I don't know if anything ever came of it, but a whistleblower in their covid vaccine trial alleged data issues and ignoring negative side effects:

> A regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial. Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding. After repeatedly notifying Ventavia of these problems, the regional director, Brook Jackson (video 1), emailed a complaint to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Ventavia fired her later the same day

Even things like "Advertising where they shouldn't be" are not neccessarily innocuous; e.g. it can be promoting use of a drug in a situation that is known to be unsafe. In lawsuits regarding Bextra (which Pfizer ended up settling for around 1b),

Has the Age of American Progress Ended?
The Atlantic recently featured an article, titled "Why the Age of American Progress Ended" 12/12/2022. The article makes the claim that the first commercially available solar cells were invented in 1954 at Bell Labs. But on further research, it's been shown by Philip Pesavento (ORNL) and Kris de Decker at Lowtechmagazine that commercialization of solar cells using Schottky junctions in the early 1900s was potentially blocked by competing electric plants.
I am assuming you never heard of "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap shoes" or some variation of that and this doesn't intuitively make sense for you. And I hope this doesn't come off like I'm mansplaining or smartsplaining or whatever :)

- Renting in San Francisco and New York. $$$ gets you way bigger and better places than $. It's not thrice the value. It's over 5x the value. This becomes very obvious as you move up the salary ladder.

- To plagiarise a Reddit post on this exact topic (which the OP article was plagirising but...) "poor people can't buy in bulk, so they never get to enjoy the savings of Costco"

- A whole cow costs less than the sum of the prices of its parts. Same applies to poultry and fish. Vegetables seem to have a linear price to amount ratio but that's largely priced in way earlier so it's kind of an illusion.

There is no evil force at work. Simple economics really.

- Economics of scale. This probably applies so widely that it's hard to overstate. e.g. Costco, better boot, whole cow. There are fixed costs to transport, customs, maintaining a store, sales people etc. Cheap stuff has to sacrifice quality so you come back more often - frequent enough to help with the fixed costs.

- Money today > money tomorrow. Not sure if there is an economic principle behind this because it doesn't always hold, but everyone except banks believe it always holds. Maybe because we believe we can invest it real good, or we enjoy the security of it (unless you're better than banks at collecting and/or selling debt). E.g. rent in SF. It takes longer to find tenants for $$$ apartments. And landlords lose more money when they let $$$ apartments sit empty. So, they can't expect to charge 2x the rent for 2x the square footage. Usually 2x the rent offers >= 2x square footage AND more amenities.

Apologies for errors. Had to write this on mobile.

I don't know what your plans are for this iPhone 4 but it doesn't support 4G and won't work most places (like all of the US).
Pretty much. Just need to be very stable source and a lot of generic engineering around to not incur error.

Hell, that's actually very easy way to make ADC, just start counting, charge cap to pre-determined value then trigger counter stop. There are few improvements to that technique (like dual slope ADC, where you use reference voltage to discharge the cap to get the ratio between reference and input signal) but in general it can be very accurate way to measure.
It's also not great advice for humanity. Better to have a CO2 high future than no future at all.

Google Talk did. It was the only one, though, so GP's assertion that multiple major networks did is indeed incorrect.

But we came closer to federation between big players than you're implying. One more would have done it.
For anyone who makes art, absolutely. I even use Procreate for brainstorming sometimes, because it's so much faster and more intuitive than any other app I've used.

Right - and the Binance.US TOS tries to maintain that they are not related parties with Binance even though they share common owners:

As part of an effort to offer digital asset trading technology to its customers through the Binance.US platform, BAM Trading entered into licensing agreements with Binance Holdings Limited ("Binance"), which operates the world’s largest digital asset exchange. BAM Trading and Binance share common majority ownership, but are not within the same corporate structure.

The article is exactly right afaict.
OpenCL is totally functional, on AMD and even iGPU Intel. The reason Nvidia won was because they made it easier. And the AI people ate it up. The tooling Nvidia offers is second to none. But you can build almost anything CUDA does with openCL. It's simply harder to do.

The AI crowd cared more about that then the impact of tieing the entire ecosystem to a single company.

Who knows what openCL might have been if it would be the premier implementation language. I'd wager it would have gotten a LOT more love.

Rather than explain you keep trying to argue, and what you've done is shown the sheer level of your ignorance.

I know a man who dated a woman in college whose family was so rich she didn't know how to operate a washing machine, the help did that. Her solution to the conundrum was to just buy new clothes. One can imagine that when talking about the "middle class" she probably thinks they're like her except with less money. But you and I can recognize this as existing in an entirely different world than the middle class.

And in that vein, poor is not "middle class but with less money".

We're not talking about buying a corolla off the lot because you can't afford a BMW. We're not talking about buying a 2 year old corolla because you can't afford a BMW either.

We're talking about buying a $300 car that just happens to be a corolla and can't be driven on the highway because it flat doesn't go fast enough to legally do so. We're talking about owning 2 $300 cars to mitigate the risk when one of them inevitably breaks down and the constant repairs as a result causing the TCO of that vehicle to be far greater than the newer model corolla you're comparing it to. We're talking about not being able to afford insurance on one, or both, of those so that you're always in fear of police.

We're talking about the constant need for money for the laundromat because you can't afford to purchase a washer and dryer, or you live in a place where such things aren't even possible.

And if your thought goes anywhere near "well just buy another $300 car when that one breaks down", it means you have zero understanding of what it means to be poor.
Casio actually, but I am not surprised that TI would have done the same.
So, saying "you can't be part of our group because you're not black" would be illegal in the US and the person could sue for damages?

Wanna see some examples proving the opposite? That is not how it works at all, what you describe is an example of equal legal rights, I already mentioned these laws are anti-equality. Anti constitutional even, not that many in the US seem to care.
This has been a growing trend in the US. The old argument for rules like this was often "broke cars reduce home value", so it's fun to try and see them use the pro-environment card but it's really to push out poor people. Every once in a while there's a city that makes a move like this because they are tired of broken down cars in poor neighborhoods and then end up repealing the rule when cops get uppity and apply it to middle/upper class people who are doing vehicle restorations in their driveways.

The big bummer in rules like this is that the wealthy people in office that are enacting this legislation don't know what a "major" car repair is because they've never done any. And their definition of a 'special tool' is anything beyond their Craftsmen "Baby's First Toolbox".
