Software developer that doesn't want to fight Linux to get wifi going?

I'd say it's more like an upgrade. The release notes promise all sorts of improvements, but they often bring new bugs.

I'd hate to be the one left holding that bag.

Since when did the AEC start checking IDs? They just cross your name off a list.

99% of retail payments already happen through a tightly regulated electronic payment system today.

I haven't been denied my god given right to murder myself by purchasing tobacco and sugar products so far.

Seems like you're jumping through a like of hoops to write thing in a Java-like fashion when you could be using Java, which has a much healthier ecosystem.

The top-of-the-line next generation of chips will be solidly clocked at 5GHz and above.

Wow C# is much older than I thought.

The industry is pushing behind Blender in a massive way. There just isn't the same sort of energy behind GIMP and Audacity.

Sure, the article does say that and it even provides a paper to backup its claim.

However, subsequently a meta-analysis (including that same paper) was published that found:

"Vitamin D [supplementation] was associated with significant reduction of cancer-related mortality compared with placebo [...]. Compared with placebo, Vitamin D was not associated with significant reduction of cancer incidence [...]".

It sounds like your argument is now: "I like the look of being tanned and don't want to be burdened by the need to regularly apply lotion while living my outdoor lifestyle".

Okay, well that's your choice; but don't latch on to some argument about it being healthy, unless you're willing to endure scrutiny.

If you think of UV light exposure as a therapy of sorts, then it's fair to weigh its benefits and risks against alternative treatments.

If the supposed benefits of UV light exposure can be achieved through an alternative treatment that poses a lower risk of skin cancer, then why wouldn't that be the superior treatment?

Wouldn't really work. Stablecoins operate in highly correlated markets, so if one goes down then presumably, others should go down.

Also, the government is a highly diversified insurer that can create more the underlying asset it is insurring.

They only promise that their treasure bills "have a maturity of less than 90 days". That won't help them much if there is a run on the Tether bank.

E-ink smartphones do exist.

That may be the case, but it misses the point. If Apple is not presently doing this, then they are not abusing their market position in gain an unfair advantage.

Read the comments on that post though.

According to that meta-analysis, none of the studies included were properly blinded.

Reliable utility electricity in a war zone seems unlikely. Though big 'ol power plants make pretty easy and tempting targets (especially if you know your opponent relies on it to drive their vehicles).

This would be a great use case for space-based microwave solar though (if it ever gets off the ground).

Maybe that's part of how they train it?

My father travelled a lot for business. So much so that he had a massive map covering a wall in our garage. Before heading out he'd put Blu Tack on the various places he intended to visit and planned out the route he'd take. This required a very high contrast representation of roads to assist him in finding routes; especially given he couldn't magnify the map to focus his attention.

Today, people tend use maps differently, they generally use the map to find POIs (with the assistance of search) and then just ask the computer to tell them how to get there (using various prompts). So, it makes sense that the emphasis is no longer on the streets, but the things that happen to be on those streets.

In some respects, the map is an outdated form for data visualisation. It retains usefulness (in part) because automatic routing remains imperfect (especially for walking in urban environments). However, in time these imperfections will be corrected and I suspect maps will be relegated to niche applications and 'advanced' tabs.

The article says they can get 1 liter for every 20 watts. So that'd give them 17,597 ounces per kWh.

You must be a deep sleeper! I'm pretty sure I'd be awoken if someone attempted to pry my eyes open.

The Pixy is good for "5-8 flights using the default flight modes" and the default flight duration seems to be 30 seconds. Therefore, the battery will likely last you at most 4 minutes.

While biometrics are imperfect (because you can't change or even hide the key), it's not quite as bad as you make out.

On iOS at least, it gains affirmative consent by you double clicking a button on the side. It also refuses to recognise your face if your eyes are closed.

It knows the neck area can’t be the same between front and back, but it doesn’t know if it should sample the skin or cloth textures to fill the gap, so it just takes a blend of both.

I guess, by hedging this way, it managed to improve its evaluation score without having to learn how clothes actually work.

The 13900k will still be stuck on the current process node, so don't get your hopes up.
