PCBs these days are like $5 per board from American makers like DKRed (Digikey's PCB service), with support for both 2x layer and 4x layer boards. Radio Shack will never be able to compete against DKRed (or OSHPark) from PCB making perspective. Even cheaper if you buy from China.

Radio Shack would be best as a board-level hobbyist group: selling Teensy, Arduino, Beaglebones, Rasp. Pi... as well as wires and common components.

A few wires, a standard board like Arduino, and some I2C or SPI components will be enough for most hobbyists, and "looks" far easier than a breadboard or PCB.
1. is possible without knowing the owner’s identity – “public” (and maybe whether that means federal or state) and “private” seems to be enough.

2. breaks down when you consider rentals. A tenant might be legally allowed to deny access to a landlord in some circumstances. Tenants are usually not registered in property registers.

For 3., how does the information for taxation have to be public? The government also needs to know my pay history to tax me, and that’s not public either.

4. if it’s the government’s information about me, should I really get absolutely no say in how it’s published?

I honestly don't know how Michaels is still in business. I do tend to think it's not necessary location that is going to make it for Radio Shack, but their products, and target market. They should focus on makers, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Drones, make that their core business. Pricing needs to be competitive (vs online), stock should be plentiful, and knowledgeable employees (maybe like a Geek Squad equivalent "The Shack").

But how could the reviewers have found the errors in this article?

The article can tell "Cort was informed about the new techniques from a family member back from Jamaica". How do you verify that? The only way is to redo the all work from scratch, refound all the historical references and cross-validate each of them. It's a huge work.

This article was later debunked by experts who have taken time and effort to do that. But peer-reviewing does not allow reviewers to pause they own work to do such extensive checks.

More realistically, the article passes the peer-reviewing process because the peer-reviewing process does what it is supposed to do: the article is "believable", it does not have things that looks not coming from the scientific process. The reviewers don't have time and it is in fact not even their jobs to redo the study. All they do is to check if the guidelines seem to be respected. If you want more than that, you want a "replication study", which is the next step in the scientific process of building trust on a study (and which also have difficulties).

And, sure, they may have flagged that some conclusions may need more convincing demonstration, but it is a Gaussian curve: sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, some passes through the gaps.

I think there is a problem with layman people who don't understand that the peer review process is not a magical tool that remove all the incorrect studies (on top of that, due to statistical fluctuation, some studies are false while the authors have done 100% everything perfectly).

I'm not saying it's the case here, but this is one explanation that should not be ignored.

Ironically, it is a bit funny that for your conclusion you jumped immediately on the story you wish to be true: social sciences or history are ideologically biased. This is a valid hypothesis, but not the only one explaining what we observe.

I provide language revision for academics who are non-native speakers of English, so I read a hell of a lot of papers, theses, and grant applications, while also continuing to publish and peer-review in my own field. My impression is that peer review in the social sciences and history isn’t necessarily the major force for conformance to whatever contemporary social narratives. Papers often deal with minutiae, and both author and peer reviewers alike are nerds who like delving into those minutiae. They don’t necessarily want to be drawn into any wider topic like in the case of the paper discussed in this article.

Rather, the force for ideological conformity may instead be funding bodies. I have seen so many grant applications where the author(s) clearly want to explore minutiae, but are forced to appeal to some grand social-justice cause in order to secure funding. I’ve participated through series of revisions of grant applications where 2–3 paragraphs claiming the research would benefit some minority or another, are inserted at a late stage after someone mentions that the application would stand no chance without them.
I mean, did the tech workers even complain when those jobs went overseas? Perhaps tech workers should try to unionize then. The only reason we are even talking about this is because the actor’s and writer’s unions give them a loud enough voice for the rest of the country to hear their complaints. Kind of disingenuous to put the blame on writer’s and actor’s not putting up a fuss when tech work got shipped overseas, when tech workers themselves didn’t even bother to put up a fuss (or unionize).

It's a shame what happened to RadioShack. I liked them for hobby components.

I don't see this as a winning strategy. I can buy any of these items at a number of convenient locations, like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. Why would I choose RadioShack, especially when I don't have faith in their ability to price competitively?

I will go to a RadioShack when I can get things there that I can't get quickly elsewhere.

This piece does the opposite of acknowledging that history is written by the victors. It it is an attack on the credibility of a particular perspective, striving to paint the author's opponents as fictional story tellers while the author is objective and rational.
It is. But academic fields (perhaps all fields across society) are all bent towards a progressive liberal outlook. This outlook is also highly intolerant of divergent views - if they disagree with your voice, they will not fight for your right to speak anyway - you will be deplatformed. That intolerance is the most pernicious element to me.

At large sizes, synchronous motors are much more efficient than stepper motors, so they use much less power.

At small sizes, the synchronous motors must use permanent magnets, which increase their cost and they have windings that are more difficult to make and the difficulty increases with the smallness of the motor.

The electronic drive of a synchronous motor is more expensive, because it must generate sinusoidal currents, not rectangular currents.

At small sizes, a synchronous motor may have a lower torque than a stepper motor , so it might need extra gears, which would increase the cost.

As long as it is still cost-effective to manufacture a synchronous motor, it will always have a better efficiency and a lower power consumption than a stepper motor. The reason why stepper motors are preferred is that at very small sizes they can be much cheaper, especially when including the cost of all associated electronic and mechanical components.

The global scientific consensus is that climate change is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuel use is what put more green house gases into the atmosphere, which in turn is heating the earth beyond what the environment can handle.

How critical different strategies are to combating climate change has a significant weaker consensus. Energy productions and energy usage is usually the most critical in mitigating climate change. Diet is fairly debated subject, with some researchers listing it higher on the list while others listing it much lower.

Agriculture is often combined with land use, but the deeper one go into this subject the more difficult things get. A "wet" forest is several times better than a dry forest, so in terms of combating climate change, removing water draining can be more effective than increasing the amount of land dedicated to forestation. There are many factors for policy makers and a lot of low hanging fruit that is more critical to target first.

I've been catching up on the papers, and the mechanics of RWKV are interesting, but I'm more of a hands on guy and I played a bunch with RWKV earlier this year when its quality was comparable with the early LLaMA models of similar size and it was significantly faster (its CPU inference was comparable to the latter's GPU inference speeds 6 months ago), but I feel like those advantages have largely dissipated.

With 4-bit quants, and the optimizations for batch=1 with llama.cpp, Exllama, MLC on the edge side, and on continuous batching w/ vLLM and the like on the high throughput side, I think performance (in terms of speed) is not as pressing, at least while people are pushing hardest on the capabilities front. Meanwhile, the quality of the best Llama 2 (and even the last-gen of Llama 1) models have blown by the existing RWKV models (although I'm definitely interested in kicking the tires on RWKV-5 when it's out). Also, I recently stepped back into RWKV world to check up on what was going on, and I was actually a bit shocked at how night and day the tooling/ecosystem is now. While it's not all roses the open LLM side, there's enough critical mass where the evolution has been ... extremely rapid, to say the least.

I think over the next few years, obviously there will be architectural improvement that succeeds the current crop of dense transformer LLMs (one might argue that's already happening piece by piece), and I'm happy there are experiments like RWKV going on, so I guess we'll just have to see in terms of what scales and what doesn't.

As someone deeply into pre-2000 retro arcade games, video consoles and vintage home computers, I agree. Future digital historians will be left with trying to reconstruct what online-centric experiences post-2000-ish were like from whatever YouTube, Twitch and social media videos and stills survive into the future.

Once the server-side source components are lost to time, at best we'll be able to view linear recordings of what the combined system did for this one user that one time. Perhaps I'm jaded by the lens of my present-day perspective but, the only small comfort I find in this, is that so many of today's recent online experiences are largely derivative of each other.

By analogy to film archiving, if (for example) the original master print of the 13th (out of 20) MCU Phase 1 film were lost to time, I feel it'd be less tragic than the fact we don't have a full-length print of Fritz Lang's 1927 classic Metropolis, arguably the first ever feature-length science fiction film. At least we have the vast majority of pre-2000-ish arcade, computer and console video gaming digitally preserved as complete interactive emulations. That era was the creative crucible where much of video gaming first evolved.

> Solar is already cheaper than other generation methods...

In a world that mostly relies on abundant fossil energy. We tend to ignore that and interpolate from "solar improved 3x in the last year, so in X years it will have replaced oil", but that is just wrong. Solar today depends on fossil fuel, and it is absolutely not a given that it can ever replace it (e.g. see next point).

> ... except that it's intermittent.

Yep. So it's not enough. We are at a point right now where it is very likely that what we cannot change anymore (the consequences of what we already emitted) will already cause global instability. I find it crazy that people have the faith to count on technology that does not exist yet.

We need to use (much, much) less energy, that is the only solution. People don't like the word "degrowth", so let's call it differently: let's say we need a "smarter society": less bullshit, less over-consumption, more efficient everything, more minimalistic everything. Probably cryptocurrencies, cheap rockets and SUVs are not part of this world, though.
