We were almost finished training them to do electrical mechanical and software engineering. Might as well move on to the life sciences.

The last bullet hits hard. I’m appling for engineering management level roles for the first time in almost a decade and I wasnt prepared to have all my personal details included in my job application to be sold. But thats the game now, thanks for applying, the answer is no and we just sold your details. Thanks. Its depressing and demoralizing, I will carry this sentiment and distrust into my next job.

Gesundheit!

Hello fellow pumpkin head! I too have a fat head and once upon a time had a fantastic local optometrist who informed me that most all Maui Jim plastic temples are thermoplastic. He had a tiny bin full of extremely hot salt, he stuck the temple in, softened the plastic and formed it to my head. He repeated until they were perfect. 15 years later I still use them, somehow havent broken them. Highly recommend finding a great optometrist.

Modern CPU and GPUs are the pinnacle of human creation. Each step, from design to build is resting on the foundation of decades of learnings and millions of hours of highly trained and educated individuals. All of this knowledge and talent is guarded. I don’t think you fathom the scale of which you discuss. At best we can play around as aggregated hobbiest and make perhaps a 1980s tech CPU.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

My daughter is 7 and no unsupervised internet, at most some YouTube videos. She gets tablet time but its just educational games and videos, mostly Khan Academy and PBS content.

Furthermore my wife is working with all the other moms to build a pact to keep our kids cellphone free as long as possible. Soon as one friend gets one they all want one.

The semi-solid is about 2x of LFP but vanilla lithium cells are about 1.5x of LFP. Its hard to nail down specifics because there are so many flavor of chemistries and designs (high current vs high capacity vs extreme temperatures).

As someone who works in the battery industry I want to applaud them for calling the battery for what it is; semi-solid state. So many dirt bag companies keep throwing the term “solid-state” batteries around for prototypes they’re working on but they dont exist yet, they’re an aspiration. No company has figured this out yep so right now best you get is a semi-solid state that has improvements over existing chemistry but a whole bunch of additional caveats and negatives.

You are correct but the energy density is half. For this huge bike in the article you probably could get away with it but for a proper small/light ebike LFP doesnt make much sense because they’re so heavy.

This article doesnt mention this is a 4 year phase out period so this doesn’t happen all at once. I work in consumer electronics, some things will get easier, some harder, but generally it will all get more expensive.

For my trixie Debian boxes I just did a normal apt upgrade, rebooted, checked the kerenel with uname -r and confirmed it was 6.12.85-1. All set!

But google still gets paid. The advertisers will just pump money into Google’s coffers.

Prostate cancer is really easy to treat and delay, unfortunately. I have a family member dealing with it right now, very late stage, and its still extremely treatable.

Two full time working parents while raising little kids, having to help care for aging parents and help them navigate the health system is exhausting. I’m supposed to be enjoying my 40s, were financially set at least, but I still feel like I’m stuck in an endless grind. American dream.

Did mine early March and I’m still waiting for the Feds to give me my money. Where’s my money?!

Actually I think people advocating for better policing instead of just deepthroating “cops good” makes the problem better.

Where did I ‘deep throat cops good’? You are sensitive and over reacting to a simple utterance and appreciation that cops are both good and bad. All people, all things, are some mix of good and bad and various ratios.

The solution is simple, if you want people to respect police, the police need to become respectable. As it stands they can abuse you with near impunity, so they get fear and disdain.

This is the only thing you’ve said I’ve agreed with, but what exactly are you going to do about it? You ask why am I more concerned with the the fear and disdain; because it causes apathy. Apathy breeds indifference and/or hopelessness which doesn’t solve any problems but propagates it. You appear firmly in the apathetic camp, its whats wrong with this country and politics in general. I’m not pretending I have the solution but the first step to moving in any direction is appreciating the subtly of everything and stop pretending its all so simple as black and white.

Ok so all police are bad, even if there are good hearted individuals that try to make a difference in a community, just because they joined a police force. I find that logic silly and extremely rigid, but fine. What exactly is your alternative? What should be happening instead? Maintaining a basic rule of law and society is kind of important, and as fucked up police forces are they’re fulfilling some of the tasks. The problem is more about how to have accountability in police forces, not just wholesale disenfranchisement. Divisive dismissing of any race, group, organization or entity isn’t helpful and is ignorant. It makes the problems worst, not better. You become what you loathe.

Cops are human, and like all humans they can make mistakes and have flaws just like us. Yes their jobs is to protect us but its OK to ask questions.

Picture a rock getting thrown into a body of water and its ripples. Now just scale that up to 3 dimensions and all materials and you have RF!
