And business daddy appreciates that it’s good business. As soon as you threaten business daddy’s business interest it’s game over. Luckily HBO’s motives are more aligned with journalism than Apple’s. Apple is literally the Orwellian nightmare they mocked in ads 40 years ago.
If ebay took this to court there’s a good chance they’d win. The overturning of the Chevron deference means any action by the EPA or enforcement of its rules is on shaky footing.
It depends on what you mean by “work out”. If the goal is to stop conflict by eradicating a culture, that’s worked many times.
Speed of light in glass is 33% slower than in free space.
Regardless, in most scenarios that people notice latency it’s from sitting in router buffers, slow CPUs, bad software, and slow last mile. All of those things are fixable, so tricks to lower the fundamental latency floor, like laser beams in space, is pretty neat.
This is a republican problem. They renegged the budget, they caused the shutdown, they ousted their speaker when he swerved to avoid it. The republicans have all the votes they need to not fuck over the constituents. All they have to do is their job. Dems know they won’t do it. Every second republicans are burning political capital.
They are remarkably close to being able to push the “ethnic cleansing” button. They have stated their motive, they are close to achieving the means (their popularity is not far behind what Nazis were when they took power).

A personal anecdote: in 2020 entertained a German visitor (who never offered up a party affiliation, but it can be inferred) for a few hours at a bar. They managed to convey all sorts of political views supporting suppression of others but stopped short of directly calling for genocide. However any reasonable conversationalist would understand what they meant. The closest thing I can think of for this in English is “dogwhistling”, however I am convinced there is a better German word for it.
If you’re asking because you don’t know how truly awful and scary AfD is: AfD is truly awful and the prospect of them gaining control is very scary. One of the world’s richest people can make things happen in politics.
If you’re asking because Musk supporting right wing politics is well known: yeah but see above. AfD is scary shit.
You don’t earn the title “Me” generation without being legendarily self important.
To guarantee that all of your traffic is throttled?
You realize “repeating arm” is essentially an AR-15? If you think the second amendment covers repeating arms like the AR-15 then what is your argument?
High speed receivers are much more complex than transmitters. Just shoving some bits down the line with a bit of emphasis filter training is not that tricky. Tuning a receiving emphasis filter while simultaneously recovering the clock and performing error correction requires many more transistors, which uses more power and costs more to produce. HDMI receiver chips on digikey are 2-10x more expensive than transmitter chips.
Beyond the technical reasons, there is the fact that media companies have a vested interest in not having video input being prolific. They have a long history of fighting technologies such as VCRs. In the shadowy internet era you can let your imagination run wild with what motivations they set up in what industries to make HDMI receivers less prolific.
Also, for those talking about HDMI over Ethernet: be careful. HDMI is actually quite high bandwidth. There’s a reason the cables stop working after a few feet and it isn’t because they’re poorly designed or manufactured (though that’s surely the case for crap you get on amazon). Cat 1 million isn’t magic. It’s still beholden to Shannon’s limit in copper twisted pair. You can’t shove 25 GbE over any copper longer than a few meters of TwinAx. There are plenty of solutions on the market that are too good to be true and simply won’t work at the pixel clocks they advertise, yet will happily take hundreds of your dollars and weeks of your time.
What’s the oxygen situation like?
The writers messed this one up by making Foundation FTL jumps have basically no caveats. In the books ships could only jump to Hyperspace when they are a few days away from the nearest planet, jumps take days to calculate, have lots of error, and can only be reasonably accurate for modest distances.
When you write in “it’s magic and anything can happen” then you start to ask “why not use every ship as a weapon?” or “why not leverage the vault as the obvious galactic-scale superweapon that it is?”
AI efforts aspire to reach the accuracy of Portal 2’s Fact Sphere.
If you add funny to that list you get Dan Harmon.
Maybe they can stick the landing this time. All they needed to do was show one shot of the pack of four cats reunited during the credits. The parallel theme between the pack of four stray cats and the crew of four robots called the outsiders was an essential part of the plot and then they just leave it hanging.
I feel also really frustrated to know that a pedophile or any criminal is able to escape justice because the encryption is good enough
How do you know something that’s provably false? Pedophiles who evade justice are not doing careless things that need end to end encryption, like backing up their porn to iCloud. The problem doesn’t start or end with encryption. The policy is entirely about privacy and has nothing to do with protecting children.
Yeah but they were particle accelerators that shot electrons towards your face at relativistic speeds (the phosphor grid and lead lining made use more pleasurable). That’s just too damn cool.
Jon Oliver is very careful to segregate jokes for levity from sensitive topics. Jon on the Problem would regularly never make a tonal or topical shift when putting in a joke, which really made it feel like a desparate, uncomfortable interjection during a serious rant rather than a lighthearted reminder that we’re still on Earth while discussing a travesty.
