  • The particular example was getting clock-like behavior without a clock. It had an incomplete circuit that used RF reflection or something very similar to simulate a clock. Of course, removing this dead-end circuit broke the design.

  • Yes, resistive heat is expensive, but that's only part of what makes heat pumps in cars more effective. They don't just heat your cabin, they heat your battery so you maintain range while it's cold out. Here's an article with more details and some pretty infographics.

  • This would be a reason for me to start using Mastodon. I currently don't, and never used Twitter, because the value i got wasn't worth the pain. Mastodon looks like it would be less pain, but there isn't any real value drawing me in. If my country or province spun up instances with verified accounts and media releases, I'd be very interested. If they made their own crappy app, thanks, I'll pass.

  • So, if I read 80% female authors, from Indian, Chinese, African, African American, Japanese, Korean, Australian Aboriginal, Polynesian, and indigenous from North, Central, and South America, the suggestion I'm not diverse enough is okay? Not to mention that, if you're speaking English, if not the majority then a disproportionate minority is going to be white men. And there's the point. Your very statement implies there are only two groups, white authors and not white authors, which would be a lot more obvious if you hadn't replaced "white" with "(different colour)". So what was your reason for doing that, particularly in the context of punching up/down?

  • Taking power from both the federal and municipal level. From the municipal/urban side, that will reduce the power of city representatives, which tend to be left-leaning.

    While rehab funding is great, forced rehab isn't as effective as voluntary rehab simply because lifestyle changes don't stick if you don't want them. Let's see what they do about multiple drinking-related offenses, the socially acceptable addiction.

  • Having watched from the outside, you guys were getting more for less for decades before ACA got passed. Then, for a brief moment, things got better overall and the downward trend continued. Blaming the cause of the one blip where quality improved for some small portion of the population (estimated to be over 10 million) for the overall downward trend before and after sounds silly.

  • Realistically, single payer isn't going to pass without Democrats holding the house, senate, and presidency at levels that bypass filibusters. And then the Republicans will drag their feet as much as possible to do everything they can to delay progress.

  • This really does fall under two umbrella cautions. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and how are they making money? Suspicion was warranted from day one, especially if it was owned by PayPal.

    Now, there are a lot of smart people on the internet who could have tracked all those messages and figured it out, like ultimately happened. I just wish they'd done it sooner.

  • There has been work to replicate the capabilities in Taiwan on US soil. While it hasn't been going great, it has been progressing. At some point it is quite possible that Taiwan will no longer be as strategic a partner with America as they are now, which doesn't bode well for their continued assistance from America. But if there comes a time that China will take Taiwan you can be guaranteed that everything possible will be done to reduce the risk of technology transfer.

  • It's fun living in colder climates and having unironic discussions where people are agreeing that -10° C is a nice winter temperature since it's still relatively warm, but you don't have to worry about slushy, frozen roads or high humidity.
