2.5Gb is downshifted 10Gb with the same line coding, just with 1/4 the symbol rate.
This means that it inherits all the complexities of 10GbE, while tolerating cheaper connectors and cables.
10GbE uses DSQ128 PAM-16 at 800Msym/s. 2.5G just does quarter-rate at 200Msym/s.

1000BaseT uses trellis coded PAM-5, a significantly less complex modulation.

When one factors in the complexity of the line code and all equalisation and other processing in the analog frontend things get expensive.
Copper 10Gb interfaces run very hot for a reason. It takes quite a bit of signal processing and tricks to push 10Gb over copper, at least for any significant distances.
He did lose money while in office, but some point to his deal with the Saudis for $2 billion for the LIV golf project he started with Greg Norman. But that seems to be more of an investment than a payoff, but that remains to be seen.
A transparent look at our experience on Product Hunt
Obviously! That would be illegal. The trick is that the people paying the fees know that:

- you're well connected

- you'll be back in government as soon as the administrations change.

Or do you really think Biden (or Trump, or DeSantis, or whoever you want) would have chosen as secretary the bank administrator of Springfield Oklahoma's largest credit union? That would be daft.

So the relevant part is that "unemployed" Yellen was "[..] the Federal Reserve chair from 2014 to 2018."

When her term ended: "She took in the speaking fees in 2019 and 2020."

And, after an arduous two year job search she's a cabinet level secretary regulating those she collected fees from.

Notably, for much of the Cold War, Soviet propaganda was such that many in the West were either unsure whether the Soviet communist experiment was working, or genuinely believed it was—including those on the political right.

The excesses and failures of the system (and the degree to which its "communism" was nothing but authoritarianism draped in a red flag) were not always clear until well after the fact.

Contrast that with today, where we may not have a perfect window into China, but we can certainly see a lot of what's going on there, including reprehensible things like the Uighur genocide, and the degree to which China's "communism" is heavily colored by capitalism on the one hand, and authoritarianism on the other.
Can you explain why? Obviously the current system isn’t producing competent ones either.

Well, he already had money before becoming President and everyone knew that. But, hell, did the people around him cash in. For instance, Jared Kushner (Special Adviser/son-in-law) and Steve Mnuchin (Treasury Secretary) founded private equity firms and raised $2 billion and $1 billion respectively from the Saudi government [1]. It's not illegal to do that, but it's really murky especially for Kushner who was not known for having investment experience outside real estate (Mnuchin, on the other hand, is a veteran investor who previously chaired a bank).

The argument of humanity living a perpetual zombie state is hard to buy into when comparing the past and present. Especially when comparing monks who arguably have dedicated much of their life to awareness.

The differences of “distractions” are what matters here. Being distracted with god, your body, your emotions, or your mind is a human condition. Being distracted with artificial things is another.

Monks have extensive memories. Contemporary man has the memory of a goldfish. Two completely different ways the brain can work if given the right amount of stress and daily practice.

Much research has shown that those who meditate regularly have built a deliberate skill to focus their attention where needed. Many people struggle to do even that as modern attention is much more scattered between artificial distractions.
Voice commands are terrible in general if:

- You do not have a generic north american english accent

- Are not speaking English and standard english.

- Have any sort of speech impediment

- Can’t remember what something is called or a specific command

- Want immediate feedback

Oh and they have a tendency to fail at random.
I fail to see how larger TV sets equates to huge increase in living standards.

Maybe we could measure living standards by looking at mental health statistics? Percent of population on prescription mind-altering drugs?

Do bigger houses, leading to greater social isolation, actually represent an increase in living standards? I get that bigger house == bigger house, but maybe the metric is flawed.
> Yellen listed firms and banks where she had received speaking fees and said she intended to “seek written authorization” from ethics officials to “participate personally and substantially” in matters involving them

What the hell? The speaking fees themselves should have been banned, but she doesn’t have to recuse herself? Any “ethics” official that approved that needs to be fired.
Probably referring to the fact that when you build a go executable there's just a single file to deploy (the executable).
Welcome to the think-cell club.

They solicit a huge amount of applications but very rarely hire people who make it beyond a year.
The difference between a medieval monk and a smartphone-wielding modern is that the former had fewer options for dopamine-generating distractions, while we have a limitless supply in our pocket. At a certain point the monk might be so bored that a treatise by Avicenna might actually be preferable to doing nothing at all, and that is no small inducement to deep progress, the processing of emotions, and contemplation more generally.

Do you have any example what technology gave you a clean upgrade path from 2005 until now, without the need to do major changes?

With .NET you can still, use most of your code from 2001, just the UI frameworks (and WCF) are not supported anymore on .NET 5+. They are supported at least until 2031 on .NET 4.8. So you can easily move your business logic to a newer version and leave the UI on an older version. But seriously, who is still happy with a web application built in 2005?

I disagree with the author here. The vast majority of rpi users aren’t trying to purchase the optimal hardware for their project, they’re trying to tinker around with something fun. Literally all of my rpi projects have short lifespans since I know the rpi is able to do so many things, so I use it in many different projects.

Rpis are almost never the optimal/cheapest/best option for a project, but they’re almost always the optimal computer to reuse in 10 different projects over and over!

Not quite. Panspermia says that life exists on other planets and then somehow is distributed through space to other planets. The OP was just saying that the "building blocks" exist throughout space but life develops on planets.

How much does it cost the company? The process described is 4-5 hours taking time from people who have jobs to do, and they don't look like the cheapest employees.

The Fed isn't the government and Yellen isn't a politician. Those statements aren't technicalities, they are facts. The Fed was vested by Congress to be the U.S.' banker due to Congress' abysmal history of failure managing money policy.

As far as money == political power, start with campaign finance reform. That's the vehicle being used to "buy" politicians.
The Fed controls one[1] specific, very short term interest rate. The other rates are determined by the market, though they do take the Fed rate into account.

[1] Normally. Sometimes the Fed does something like Operation Twist or QE or something, where they intervene in the markets of other rates. But that is not the normal way this works.
Oddly the first issue I came across today was folks being confused about this.

The thing I was hoping to see in the comments is discussion around the complexity of these compounds and thus how likely they are to form abiotic.

Looking at vitamin b3, it seems very simple.

My take away is more that the chemistry of life as we know it is pretty prevalent and probably forms readily under many circumstances. I am not shocked this wasn’t an actual DNA strand. Even if someone left some DNA out on an asteroid over enough time I expect it would deteriorate. The universe just bombards stuff without an atmosphere too much for naked DNA to survive in those conditions.

This is basically the biggest success I could rationally hope for from this probe. Great work for those scientists and I am so amazed!
WiFi would definitely be here now with or without Ethernet.
Conveniently not covered in that article - the $65M was from Penguin Random House, which had been formed in a 2013 merger...which merger then-Pres. Obama evidently didn't oppose too strongly.

OTOH, it's at least arguable that Penguin Random House only cared about selling boatloads of pricey books. A quick Google found mention of a few yet-bigger advances, paid to mere authors...though for multi-book sets.
I often end up giving the opposite unpopular opinion: RPis are overkill for a lot of DIY IoT uses. Want to have something that opens your curtains or flashes some RGB lights in your hallway or whatever? Pick yourself up an Arduino / ESP32 with built-in WiFi, often an Ethernet port, tons of GPIO. It consumes milliwatts of power, boots in under a second, and is cheap enough to be disposable.
Pay so well for the role and have a sufficient pension such that you are forbidden from receiving any kind of further compensation even when you are no longer in the role (or in kind gift or direct charitable contributions). Honestly, US congress people should be paid in the high hundreds of thousands for the work they do and the control they have over the world’s largest economy. It’s kind of ridiculous how low information voters think it’s ok to punish politicians for increasing salaries but ignore the actual budget and what we spend money on because that’s complicated.

Think of it another way. Is there any other CEO or even senior director that couldn’t afford to live near their HQ? And yet, that’s true if you’re a congressperson that’s not independently wealthy. Said another way, we’re unhappy paying politician’s money from the government directly but then complain that all the politician’s are the super wealthy or find alternate income streams? This is very intentional by the way - it’s very convenient for the wealthy in the US to have a political class that is either filled with direct peers or protects them because that’s where the real money comes from even if it’s net parasitic to the US as a whole.
If you don't need GPIO, then you don't need a RPi. They are useful, but an old laptop can do most things a Pi can do, and putting them to use keeps them out of the landfill longer.

That's the beauty of what you have. The product people don't care _how_ it's built, just that it is built and quickly - which is exactly the value you add. You need to show the product people that this is the best way to get this done AND you bring additional functionality to the table. Every product person should be looking at this like it's a no-brainer.
The system always has and always will massively incentivize personal failures. That's why humans invented the concept of a "good person" -- it describes one who actively swims against the omnipresent tide. It's why people used to speak about "character" in politics. The tacit assumption is that once you're in power you are, by definition, unrestrained by external forces. The only one left who can restrain you is yourself.

It would be wise to highlight these talks as examples of profound personal failures, both for the speakers and the participants. All have succumbed to greed and corruption, and have done so in the open. I think we should promote the ideals of self-restraint once again, and expect our public servants to enjoy a comfortable, upper-middle-class life, and no more.

The single best thing we can do is to get money out of politics! The bottleneck to getting elected is, right now, money, and that's fundamentally anti-democratic. We should elect people based on their character, their ideas, their vision, their capacity for communication, and not their bank account. They should demonstrate that they value principle over loyalty, basically every time. In such a world Yellen's behavior would stick out like a sore thumb, and that's good.

look on ebay for used Lenovo ThinkCentre M/P "Tiny" or Dell Optiplex "Tiny" computers. They can be purchased by the lot for most of them as businesses get rid of the old ones.

I use 4 Lenovo M910x's as a kubernetes cluster and home lab. Have them all connected with a netgear switch. The whole setup costs about the same as a single new quality work station.
Each has:
i7 8700 (6c - 12t),
32gb memory,
1TB SSDs,
<1L case,
they're practically silent.
easy to find parts, they even use lenovo laptop chargers. if one dies, I can easily purchase + replace in a few days.

You can even go cheaper if you don't need the absolute fastest cpus. Some of these older tiny computers can be purchased for around 100 bucks if you look for them. It has worked like a charm for me. Not sure how much horsepower you really need, but this is a cheap way to build a home cluster. I think they hover around using 40w most the time, so power isn't really too big of a cost either.
The server of Theseus! Did you make a new hostname for the server made of the old parts or did you give it back it's old hostname and rename the new-parts one?
I've been pricing out small systems recently for a light weight server at home (to use in part with a weather station). Given the lack of availability/expense of RPi 4s and the expense of a decent NUC, I'm leaning in the direction of an M2 Mac Mini, which has better idle power than AMD64 options, and not much worse than an RPi 4.
Yes, they're pretty active, especially in removing features. They removed RSS, removed compact mode, removed bookmark descriptions, removed old extensions, etc.

And at the same time they don't offer any options to donate directly to Firefox, you have to donate to Mozilla and hope they'll spend the resources on the right project (which they clearly don't). It feels like Firefox has been a walking corpse for a while, so of course they'll try anything.
