No it isn’t, because no CHIPS act funding had been given to Intel yet.
It's less useful that the things most often set aside are the most mundane but required parts of life.

For example: brushing your teeth. Showering. Getting prescriptions. Scheduling and following through with doctor's appointments. Paying bills (thank the gods for autopay). House repairs. Calling someone to do house repairs. Going to meetings at work. Remembering to leave for work on time. Remembering your wallet.

And so forth.
Besides looping, video players also deal kinda badly with low-framerate videos. Meanwhile, (AFAIK) GIFs can have arbitrary frame durations and it generally works fine.
I "have" ADHD, although I don't believe in it conceptually and I don't take any drugs for it. I think if you poly-score people on impulse control, attention span, time sensitivity, organic recall of pertinent time-sensitive information, etc. you'll find that if you arrange all the scores from best to worst everyone under the 40th percent mark "has ADHD". Below maybe the 10th percentile you'll find that without stimulants it's unlikely that the person will function well in a task-based time-sensitive environment with delayed feedback loops for task completion.

Accepting the framing that ADHD does exist, it feels like brain damage. Every year growing up, in any group of kids I was among the most immature, the most off-task, the most distracted, and the most forgetful. I am plenty smart, move very quickly, and have accomplished plenty, but my entire life has been defined by being more bored, forgetful, and immature than nearly every single person I've been close to. My wife (performs very well on relevant metrics) says it's extremely noticeable and unusual from the outside. Over time I've learned to heavily lean on coping mechanisms (my phone rings about 35 times per day with timers I snooze tactically, I leave my keys in my bag any time I go places so I can't leave without the bag, etc.) No amount of character development schemes, punishments, shaming, positive skill practicing etc. has changed my natural proclivities in the slightest, although many days of good sleep and diet can sometimes produce a bit of a sustained flow state. Sometimes I wonder if I just lack some kind of ion in my blood.

My coworkers sometimes tell me they feel like they have ADHD. Then I watch them listen to someone talk about a subject they find boring for 5 minutes without drifting off or fidgeting, and then remember off the top of their heads to respond to outstanding emails. Come on guys, if we're going to make up conditions we should at least reserve the label for people that it describes accurately.
While I sympathize with cultural influence as explanatory to some degree, I find the Yankee/Scots explanation not only reductive and tidy, but superficial. I find big-L Liberalism a much more convincing explanation, and one that also accounts for why California and the coasts in general tend to be the vanguard of developments that later spread to the rest of the country and elsewhere.

Liberalism itself is not a coherent worldview, and the observed duality in this article seems unsurprising given the tensions that pull Liberalism in different direction. On the one hand, there is the Liberal notion of "freedom" or liberty as absence of external constraint (what the author would likely identify with the Scots-Irish) that pulls Liberalism toward ever greater "pushing of boundaries" and the transgression of limits, hyper-individualism, secularism, and skepticism. On the other, the tacit theology grounding Liberalism is a Protestant theism and a tradition that is, surprise surprise, communitarian (i.e., what the author identifies with Yankee or Puritans). So liberty vs. order.

Of course, Liberalism, like any worldview, doesn't just stand still. Its consequences are fleshed out over time. And here is where we see conflict. On the one hand, Liberalism celebrates neutrality. Its understanding of religious tolerance is rooted in this idea of neutrality. But on the other hand, Liberalism is justified by Protestant theological notions. Even its neutrality is itself extended only to doctrines that share its liberal egalitarian presuppositions.

Of course, just as Liberalism (Locke) is incomprehensible without Descartes and Protestantism (Luther), Protestantism (Luther) and Descartes cannot be appreciated without Ockham [0][1]. It's been a religious and philosophical war all along.

Although SPC in manufacturing is an example of measuring the correct goals. I'll give you that one.
I don't think facts are subject to a fairness doctrine. You'll find basically every academic in existence saying Trump is a fascist because he is observably so based on statements he and those around him make, and policies he enacted.

The question then is how is it not a first amendment violation for the state to prohibit a speaker presenting factual and evidence-based research.
Mostly it isn't though as we ship the crops elsewhere where cattle grow but corn dose not (technically it grows but not wel)
I hadn't caught that you had responded in multiple locations.

If you see this as inventing problems, then it is clear you don't understand the use case.

Even ignoring the issue of carriers cracking down on SIM cloning, as you've said not all messages will be visible to all participants. So that makes it DOA.

You also clearly do not understand that the issues here are not all technical. Sure I could definitely bang out something using Twilio to send and recieve SMS, etc. Except Twilio requires you to comply with TCR. So again, that is DOA.

Sure if I was really adventurous I could buy tens (hundreds?) of thousands of dollars of telecom equipment and work on then have to negotiate peering with other providers. But you know, I figured I might ask on Hacker News as start.
That is why it is just speculation. A lot of people go 'Google will leave that market if it is a hassle', as long as they can make a buck they will stay. That is a lot of fines to pay before it makes much difference.
So? Businesses spend pre-tax dollars on most things they buy.

Most companies literally don't have the margins to be solvent if all their purchasing activity is subject to 20%+ tax.

I think trying to argue how many humans should exist based on something like “necessity” is pretty weird. Who gets to decide our necessity?

Humans aren’t “necessary” in some way that transcends philosophical argument and neither should we preserve other species according to such a metric.

>Don’t rule out a lame duck pardon, either.

Biden was asked if he would pardon his son, and he said no. But this is entirely beside the point, because Trump would pardon his son without a second thought and Trump supporters wouldn't blink.

To me it feels like it subverts the desire to build something, in the same way that e.g. porn subverts the desire for sex. You feel like you're making something, but at the end of the day you didn't actually make anything.
I think the humor in this column is funny, but I can’t help but think this only highlights the incredible bias in journalism today, and makes the employees in the newsroom and elsewhere look like amateurs. The act of writing this is itself taking the privilege of injecting one’s personal political opinion (for example see the bits about her pregnancy and future child) into their job - which is not appropriate in any workplace let alone a profession that is meant to be neutral and objective.

But I also find this type of statement below, implying Trump will end elections, to be hyperbolic fear mongering and propaganda.

> But if I were the paper, I would be a little embarrassed that it has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to make our presidential endorsement. I will spare you the suspense: I am endorsing Kamala Harris for president, because I like elections and want to keep having them.

I don’t think this line is meant to be humor, but is instead repetition of a talking point. However, no rational person thinks this is true, and the constant alarmism about “democracy” went from interesting to tiring to an embarrassment very quickly. Especially when in the same party we don’t get a chance to vote for better candidates that were available earlier. The whole “democracy will end” thing is a distraction. Why aren’t we talking about things that are real like the economy or geopolitics or nuclear energy or whatever? Why do we keep coming back to fear mongering?

There is much more in here that is also misleading and ironic - like talking about how Trump may go after political enemies while Trump and others like Elon Musk face rampant lawfare, or talking about shutting down free speech when one side has supported rampant censorship on online platforms, and so on.

I think the lack of endorsements would be preferable and I would like to see newspapers write strong cases for and against all candidates instead. Let readers decide. Inform them in a balanced way. Don’t try to fight for your preferred outcome. That would be a better form of journalism. And for the record, I’ve paid for WaPo for years and am still bitter about Hillary losing.

IMO this relates heavily to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ND people's propensity to maximise negative self-perception and minimise positive.
> ADHD doesn't stop you from doing those basic things does it?

Ironic that you picked those two - it absolutely does.

ADHD (and autism) have trouble forming habits - remembering to brush your teeth is something that's a real problem for most folks who have ADHD. Not to mention showering, deodorant, etc.

As for the bathroom, most ADHD people will hyperfocus to the point where they either don't notice they have to use the bathroom, sometimes for an entire work day at a time. Constipation and minor incontinence are not as uncommon as we wish.

> For many people with ADHD it doesn't make things impossible, just much more difficult.

Imagine you have a set of spoons with which to do work. For a NT, doing something like brushing your teeth is a habit, so it doesn't take a spoon. For a ND, the habit fails to form, so they have to exert mental energy to do it. Two spoons.

Keep this up for an entire day, and by the time you have to cook dinner, ND just don't eat because they've been out of spoons since mid-day. The NT cooks dinner and has a few spoons left over to work on their hobby.

Difficult might as well be impossible when you're out of energy. Or spoons.

EDIT: Wow. This blew up. I wouldn't mind chatting more about it.
I think it's valid to still hold people to a certain standard, but the standard is adjusted to match your disability while focusing on executing the core job functions.

* Don't you think we would be on time if we could? *
It's not a matter of trying harder.

Yes we still have to do our core job functions the same as anyone else, but it's not fair to measure us on a quality the disability affects.

We don't get to ask a partially blind person to just look harder. We give them accommodations that let them do their job without relying on seeing.

It's called accommodation, not shielding from consequences.

I get to be late because I am not able to be always punctual. So my job has to accommodate me to help me do my job without relying on being on time. Just because I can sometimes try hard and be on time doesn't mean it's not a disability.
Can someone explain the logic behind the spin-off? In particular, 1) why an independent fab wouldn't end up exactly like GlobalFoundariess--i.e. no longer a contender in the leading-edge fab space; and 2) how Intel, a company that dominated in high-end performance largely because of the synergy between its design and fab units, would continue to be a contender in high-performance computing?

Intel as it currently exists may be destined to failure, but I don't see how splitting the company could do anything but seal its fate, if not hasten it. American MBAs have been hostile to vertical integration for over 50 years now, but TSMC is one of the few companies they can point to today as being dominate without embracing vertical integration. Most other dominant global industrial players, especially ones that aren't pure IP plays, are vertically integrated. Companies like SpaceX and Tesla that bucked the American trend and embraced vertical integration have done well precisely for that reason, whereas the story of those, like Boeing and countless others, that eschewed vertical integration continue to deteriorate.

Now, in the grand scheme of things vertical integration may not be economically ideal in terms of overall social wealth maximization, but to pretend Intel can remain competitive at the leading edge by eschewing vertical integration seems implausible. Far more plausible is that disassembling Intel is a well proven path for shareholders to profit on the decline with minimal risk. But given the political environment they can't sell it as promoting efficiency like they used to. They have to sell it as if they're attempting to do the very opposite of what they intend and has happened countless times; namely, managed offshoring of labor and capital intensive industry. But maybe I'm being too cynical? What's the steel man argument that is sincere about preserving Intel's market leadership rather than a managed decline?
Those people working in mass media are going to have massive biases and blind spots the same way tech people do. That’s because news isn’t an accurate representation of reality, it’s representing the most extreme examples and outliers in society. If you have a group of people reading about outliers all day they aren’t going to be grounded in what ordinary people are actually experiencing.
LMAO no you can't. Thousands of Palestinians are in "administrative detention" without trial. Tens, probably hundreds of thousands have been murdered for being part of a disfavored ethnic group. Israel carries out assassinations across the globe. Netanyahu is a Hitler aspirant who happens to be Jewish.

I was probably 2 years old and was fussing loudly in the middle of the night, when a kind lady came through a door and walked over to me and hushed me down. She was in a blue ball gown-like dress. The next morning, I remember looking at the part of the room where she came out of, and there was no door there. Years later, my sibs told me that house was haunted af. I’ve spent my life trying to rationalize this experience.

Here's what their server stack looks like: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers

Lot of replication and caching in there. For every cache there has to be a solution for how we're gonna make sure India doesn't receive the cached version, or receives a different cached version than the rest of the world. You also need to be sure that none of your changes are going to cause any significant reliability or performance issues. If you wanted to block India from accessing the entire site you could just cut them off at the top of the diagram, but blocking just one article means you have to get a lot more in the weeds.

Could they have hacked something together in 36 hours? Maybe. But the risk of causing larger reliability issues, or of having the forbidden article still partially accessible in India, would not be worth it.
> I "have" ADHD, although I don't believe in it conceptually

Congratulations on getting your Doctorate of Psychiatry. Glad you've single handedly debunked a century of study with your belief.

On a more serious note, I'm glad your symptoms are addressable with coping mechanisms. A lot of folks can't. And your "40%" is actually closer to 5%, based on scientists who research and give talks on this mental disorder.
I don't even like cybertrucks or Teslas, but Jesus could you be any more sour grapes about this?
My read of Albion’s Seed and American Nations is that they’re more about how a regional culture was germinated and founded, under the idea that the culture (including legal and economic systems) is even more durable than a specific group. So it’s not exactly connected to current demographics.
Delivery trucks are typically operated by professional drivers who require clean driving abstracts and maybe even drug testing.

The same thing stood out to me. With the popularity of animated GIFs, it's disappointing and ridiculous for a new Web-friendly image format to omit at least a simple multi-image/looping facility.

As for your question about video looping: Nothing prevents that, although I don't know of a container format that has a flag to indicate that it should be looped. Players could eliminate the delay on looping by caching the first few frames.

Maybe because it sometimes feels like work. So if it's kinda like work, why not do something that is also not productive but would either not feel as though it's work or if it's like work, that you can actually enjoy.

For some the latter is facotrio. I tried it myself, didn't get past the demo. I think if I'm doing something not productive in terms of not using my time towards something that actively makes me money, I would feel better doing something like learning another programming language, do some quick projects to automate parts of my life, try to write myself a game or a piece of toy software that challenges me and is also fun to implement.

I think I'd rather do those than play facotrio.
