Ah yes, the famously successful apple vision pro.

Dude, no. The 90s were better than now because the ball was closer to the top of the hill and hadn't been rolling back down as long. The strong worker protections, economic regulations, and tax policy that built the middle class during the 50s and 60s started to be dismantled in the 70s because of compromising with economic extremists. They started blaming everything that made a strong middle class possible for high inflation and have been doing it for every economic woe since.

On the other end, the only reason many of those laws were able to be passed in the first place is because FDR and company dragged us there over the objections of the same group.

The best times this country has had economically were never because the neoliberals and their predecessors back through the robber barons were less extreme and more reasonable, but because we had politicians who were up to the task of kicking the shit out of them and overcoming their influence.

Every time Republicans advance a plan that reduces to 'do nothing and the problem will solve itself' I hear FDR warning us again from beyond the grave

It's both in terms of fault. California is a comparative fault state. So if the guy's injuries are worth 50 mil and he and Starbucks are each found equally at fault, them for giving overheated water and him for negligently handling a cup of potentially dangerously hot liquid then they're each responsible for half the 50 mil. Or 70:30. Or 100:0. Whatever the jury decides.

Everyone believes that they're the one who is willing to stand alone against evil, unfortunately the evidence is in and that just isn't how the overwhelming majority operate.

This is a response to viral regressive propaganda from a couple years ago about primary students being allowed to 'identify' as animals as well as use litter boxes, etc in school classrooms that was pressed again during the recent US election season.

OK democratic leadership, you win; I'll quit voting for your party.

Whatever you end up doing immediately after you finish setting it up, throw some files on it you don't care about and practice breaking and reassembling your RAID a few times before you put anything important on it. You want to understand the basic process before things fail.

If you're just checking for boot success you don't need to go through the trouble of wasting paste and mounting the heat sink, just power off as soon as you know it worked. A few seconds of thermal limiting isn't going to kill it.

Inspect the CPU. As much of a nightmare as bent pins are to spot, a missing pin can be worse. Go excessively slow and make sure it physically looks OK. If you don't see anything, pop in into a different PC to see if it works there. You might have just won the unlucky lottery with a DOA chip.

It wasn't just that the study was retracted, the author also lost his medical license and had a known competing financial interest in the outcome of the study. It's literally a real life pharma conspiracy and these rubes are on the side of the conspirators.

Not to mention the US nearly entirely eliminated the use of Thimerosal anyway, out of an abundance of caution, and like two dozen national health departments committed to massive studies looking at the issues raised in the retracted article and every single one found no correlation.

Just how unbelievably poor does your reading comprehension have to be in order to conclude that my brief supply of additional context for this slice of the inexorably incoherent rambling constantly spewing from the president's mouth in any way even remotely implies an endorsement or defense of it?

For fucks sake.

This is a brain-damaged paraphrasing of a stump he gave during the campaign. If you listen to the whole speech it's clear he's talking about Biden rigging the 2020 election.

 

With most describing him as "tough," "energetic," "focused" and "effective" — and as doing what he'd promised during his campaign — President Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall.

 

Semiconductors have already had a very profound effect on society, accelerating scientific research and driving greater connectivity. Future semiconductor hardware will open up new possibilities in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and edge computing, for applications such as cybersecurity and personalized healthcare. By nature of its ethos, open hardware provides opportunities for even greater collaboration and innovations across education, academic research and industry. Here we present Flex-RV, a 32-bit microprocessor based on an open RISC-V instruction set fabricated with indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors on a flexible polyimide substrate, enabling an ultralow-cost bendable microprocessor. Flex-RV also integrates a programmable machine learning (ML) hardware accelerator inside the microprocessor and demonstrates new instructions to extend the RISC-V instruction set to run ML workloads. It is implemented, fabricated and demonstrated to operate at 60 kHz consuming less than 6 mW power. Its functionality when assembled onto a flexible printed circuit board is validated while executing programs under flat and tight bending conditions, achieving no worse than 4.3% performance variation on average. Flex-RV pioneers an era of sub-dollar open standard non-silicon 32-bit microprocessors and will democratize access to computing and unlock emerging applications in wearables, healthcare devices and smart packaging.
