It's still bonded to silicon carbide...

Don't get me wrong, it's an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they're making hold up. But it's grown on silicon wafers. "Post-silicon chips" feels somewhat misleading here

And I bet the characters they're playing are too.

You are on a different instance than the community. Because it's a new community it probably just hasn't federated to your instance yet.

Edit: also if you're the FIRST person to access the community on your instance, that should be establishing federation in the first place

Yes, enforced pseudonymity would work much better. You can have up to three, or some number, of identities, they're not linked to your info but they are all linked to each other.

Toss a coin, to your admins...

I appreciate your optimism.

While I appreciate the nitpick, I think it's likely the case that "kills a bunch of people" is also something we want to avoid...

what even is an "extraction shooter"

For every single-family home a hedge fund owns over a certain limit each year, it would be subject to a tax penalty, the revenues from which would be used for down payment assistance programs for those seeking to buy their first home from a hedge fund.

Sounds like even if this gets passed, whatever penalties get assessed are just going right back to the hedge funds anyway? And it's a 10-year plan... Kinda sounds like a whole lotta nothing. Disappointing.

Go home Tucker, you're drunk.

[...] the question is ambiguous. There is no right or wrong if there are different conflicting rules. The only ones who claim that there is one rule are the ones which are wrong!

As youngsters, math students are drilled in a particular
convention for the "order of operations," which dictates the order thus:
parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (to be treated
on equal footing, with ties broken by working from left to right), and
addition and subtraction (likewise of equal priority, with ties similarly
broken). Strict adherence to this elementary PEMDAS convention, I argued,
leads to only one answer: 16.

Nonetheless, many readers (including my editor), equally adherent to what
they regarded as the standard order of operations, strenuously insisted
the right answer was 1. What was going on? After reading through the
many comments on the article, I realized most of these respondents were
using a different (and more sophisticated) convention than the elementary
PEMDAS convention I had described in the article.

In this more sophisticated convention, which is often used in
algebra, implicit multiplication is given higher priority than explicit
multiplication or explicit division, in which those operations are written
explicitly with symbols like x / or ÷. Under this more sophisticated
convention, the implicit multiplication in 2(2 + 2) is given higher
priority than the explicit division in 8÷2(2 + 2). In other words,
2(2+2) should be evaluated first. Doing so yields 8÷2(2 + 2) = 8÷8 = 1.
By the same rule, many commenters argued that the expression 8 ÷ 2(4)
was not synonymous with 8÷2x4, because the parentheses demanded immediate
resolution, thus giving 8÷8 = 1 again.

This convention is very reasonable, and I agree that the answer is 1
if we adhere to it. But it is not universally adopted.

If they are partners they should be collaborating to set the standards they find reasonable/comfortable and beyond that it's nobody else's business.

Kinda just sounds like the normal panic/fight-or-flight response that you might have if a cop was about to murder you for fun.

I don't doubt that he was an accident

if you don't read the title , everything seems normal until you notice it's a woman, then the beard seems very out of place, until you see the nice ribbon on it and then it fits perfectly again

It would be so cool to have time and money to mess around with this bleeding edge stuff.

I thought it was a troll account at first, but it appears to be a legitimate user on closer inspection. They have some real shitty police bootlicking takes, but as they claim to be a white male in their sixties, that's not too unexpected for someone who is out of touch with problems that don't affect them personally. They have posted some strong support of the queer community before, and claim to be gay themselves, so perhaps they have enough empathy left to come around on this issue if someone has a thorough explainer on white privilege, late stage capitalism, and systemic racism.

It's gonna need to be someone more patient than me though. Good luck @tygerprints
