Same here. Now I have an A1 + A1 mini too. It's amazing. This is what I dreamed of when I built my first RepRap. I did get me Ender 3 working eventually but the print quality isn't as good as any of the Bambu printers and it's super slow.

The new CoreXY Prusa One is also a very good buy when it comes out but the A1/A1 mini in particular are just such a good deal at the moment.

Thanks. Had not actually looked at the numbers of Philly that in depth. Unfortunately, has personally started to be such cynicism it's often expected there's usually a massively lopsided overhead of administrators with moderately paid academics and money that appears to vanish.

Harvard really did a number on my belief in American academia, and then finding out that students in Columbia were complaining they had to read made me not want to look at those types of statistics very often.

Anyways, appreciate the work of actually delving into the payscales, teacher / administrator ratios, and allocation of funding. Also, the https://datausa.io/ site's another interesting one to add to the list of public available dataset visualization, plotting, and summarization websites.

Yes. I think as an engineer at this level you need to also have the patience to deal with the bean counters.

But as I’ve grown in my career I’ve actually found that line of thinking refreshing. Can you quantify benefit? If it requires too many assumptions it’s probably not worth it.

But then again there’s always the Vp or the svp who wants to “showcase his towers’ innovative spirit” and then there goes money that could be used for better things. The innovative spirit of the day is random Llm apps.

Interesting turn of phrase you used - it is in fact a leap, as you're making assumption you put forward as fact in your mind; how often do you do that?

Countless people are accusing him of genocide, including the ICC, and it certainly looks like a genocide by me; the problem with this discussion is no one defending the side accused of genocide will actually get into details of defining what could actually constitute genocide - so keeping it up in the air vague, which then allows them to not actually stand for it or against it - because there's nothing defined; most people have a wrong legal definition in their head for what constitutes genocide as well.

Personally yes, from what I have seen, the rhetoric from high up Israeli politicians and government officials, I would argue it's genocide.

The ICF has concluded officially as well that it is apartheid - and that those itnernational rules apply to Israel.
The only question is whether this is going to (A) be a mechanism for bribing certain government officials for favors and stealing tax-dollars, (B) a rug-pull to fleece the public, or (C) first one and then the other.

This is their plan to reduce the size of government. Brilliant!
Good thing that's not how laws are formed - "your" not recognizing authority doesn't mean "you" haven't committed the war crimes or other illegal act that international organization has charged you with; so far it's worked that veto power can immediately suppress action even when the rest of the organized-civilized world is against you, where so far most international organizations have been for theatre - but where we have an opportunity for them to finally have teeth.
I think it's probable we will see some genuine election tampering from this election. There are lots of government workers who believe his claims that Democrats cheat and genuinely believe they MUST cheat to "balance" that out. There are on the order of tens of actual cases of voter fraud these past couple elections, mostly done by republicans, not making a meaningful difference, and mostly just being kind of ignorant about how the process works.

However, we will not see this election overturned. 75ish million Americans really did vote for Trump, and really do want him back in the white house, despite how demonstrably dumb that is. Their votes were legitimate and shall be honored by the US, even if it kills us.

There are tiny bubbles of people very insistent that "this couldn't have happened" essentially. They are convinced that a million people voting for a democratic senator while also voting for Trump can only be signs of fraud. They are a little delusional.

This happened in 2020 when thousands of people couldn't process the fact that, yes Maine voted for Collins again even though she's spineless and soulless and threw away everything that made her special and like our state. They went away when it was clear there was no evidence.

Yes, you are right, but ideally a team should test several genetic backgrounds of mice. Almost all cancer treatments have some negative effects. It is crucial to know what genetic and exposure variables to avoid to maximize therapeutic benefits.

Cadmium in some strains of mice is highly toxic to male testes. But if, as in the C57BL/6J strain, you have a “lucky” transporter mutation, then no problems at all. This kind of variability has been known since the turn A. Garrod in the early 1900s. And ignored by many.

Here is the data on the cadmium example I just mentioned:

The proof you provide is very shallow, and with no real relevance or weight as an argument point - when it's known that the US and Israel have veto powers, as an example, that most international organizations currently are theatre without teeth - and so that's essentially why it's "fairly unprecedented."

Now Netanyahu has done enough blatantly, what's argued by some to be the most video/photographed-recorded genocide in history, the hierarchy and people resource hierarchy of the ICC hasn't fallen to Israeli political pressure (or whatever other tactics Mossad is known to use to try to get their way).

Once again, your final point is more neutral - where you could only really honestly say that if in a vacuum, if you're not looking behind the scenes with how much pressure Israel has put publicly and privately on members of the ICC to not file nor then issue charges, etc.

Dang's point is moot (thanks

NASA Wants SpaceX and Blue Origin to Deliver Cargo to the Moon
We've been reaching potential customers on LinkedIn, asking them for 15 mins to give feedback on our 'product idea' (at this point is just a sales deck).

Some tactical advice is to include in the connection request message:
1) a little explainer about the problem space that you're looking to tackle
2) the fact that you're an engineer (that why they'll know this isn't a sale call)

Normally we do about 5 mins talking about their business, problems and context then dive into a slide deck that pitches our idea.

At the end of the 'pitch' we get feedback from the customer. We also explain that we're launching a pilot, and give them an opportunity to join the pilot.

The pilot is paid (but cheaper than the public pricing will be), and it involves signing a v.simple 1 page contract/agreement which allows us to invoice them ahead of the 'launch'.

For us, this has been incredibly effective at:

- Understanding if this product hits a pain-point that customers are actually willing to spend budget on

- Weeding out the 'weak' signals like 'I quite like it' (people who 'like' it but may never buy)

- Giving us financial/commercial confidence, since we have invoiceable revenue guaranteed

Sometimes, when you find somebody that really gets it, their body language and attitude is entirely different....they literally PULL the product from your hands (vs. you pushing it on them). They're asking questions like "when can we launch/try it", and "can I introduce you to X Y Z people, who are going to love this?". And they say things like "We're budget constrained, but there are tons of things I'd rather get rid of, to make budget for this"....that's the feeling we're looking for, that tells us we're thinking about the right problem in the right way.

I had an old LG TV, I played around with MITMing it by telling my DNServer to return my NAS's IP for *.lg.com, etc servers, and I was recording the HTTP requests it was making (this was last decade and I guess lack of HTTPS wasn't shameful yet). I got rid of this TV, but never fixed the DNS settings, and it seems my new LG TV has never been able to phone home to show me the EULA to accept.. in return I do get a more limited experience, but I can switch inputs just fine.

So TL;DR: it's probably possible to configure Pi-Hole (or dnsmasq) to block the ads/phone-home behavior of the TV.

This data is about 10 GB, available on S3, and is really easy to query from duckdb. If you have fast internet you can even do a trial query without downloading anything:

WHERE
name = 'Wendy''s';

This takes less than a minute with fast home internet.

Curious what parts of the planet have the highest density of fast food restaurants? Download the files so you have local copies, then make sure you have the H3 extension installed:

INSTALL h3 FROM community; LOAD h3;

Now:

SELECT

COUNT(*) AS count
FROM (
SELECT
name,
H3_LATLNG_TO_CELL(latitude, longitude, 4) AS cell
FROM 'places-*.snappy.parquet'
WHERE array_contains(fsq_category_labels, 'Dining and Drinking > Restaurant > Fast Food Restaurant')
)
GROUP BY
cell
ORDER BY
count DESC;

The top H3 cell will have ID 841ec91ffffffff; Go to https://observablehq.com/@nrabinowitz/h3-index-inspector and paste it in and you'll see that it's… Istanbul! Write another query to find out what the most common fast food places are in Istanbul… (Burger King and McDonald's, and it's not even close).

> If the US wanted to, and if it did it correctly, it could easily conquer most countries.

It could possibly conquer many countries by largely destroying them as was done to Germany and Japan, but since the US is a democracy and a sizable portion of its people have morals and aren't sociopaths, it's politically impossible to fight a war this way in the modern era without some kind of extreme provocation. Even immediately after 9/11, I think most Americans would not have signed on to a campaign of total war in Afghanistan with multiple millions dead.

And even back when America did pretty well take the gloves off, doing nearly everything it could short of nuclear weapons in Korea and Vietnam, it still couldn't win. So I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that any decent-sized country could be conquered easily even if the 'will' was there.
C# 13 has this via the field keyword (as preview feature): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-ref...

It's pretty similar to what PHP provides here, except that PHP uses "$this->propname =" and C# uses "field =".

Edit: As someone involved in the RFC, it's somewhat funny, because we considered a special variable like "$field" or "$value" too magic, and C# does just that with a field keyword.

> did these same scientists bring up similar concerns in any previous elections?

The stated cause of their warning is that the obscurity of the source code has been recently compromised, and beyond giving similar warnings to the FBI and other agencies as soon as they learned this, the authors appear to have been vociferous about weaknesses in electronic polling in prior cycles as well.

> I'm a firm believer of absolutely no electronic voting machines. In-person, paper ballots, hand tallied, escorted by armed guards/trusted election officials with audited paper trails.

We have voter-verified paper ballots with chain-of-custody in addition to our digital polling, right? These seem to be sampled with statistical comparison to the electronically tallied votes as a matter of routine before states verify. The authors of the letter don't seem to mention that procedure so I'm wondering why they consider that process insufficient for catching digital fraud and are instead advocating for a full recount.

> I wouldn't even trust open source, since I wouldn't trust election officials to keep software up to date on their voting machines, let alone know how to even update them.
