Gates foundation with an endowment of 46.8 billion, and around 5 billion annually to research. That is a lot of influence to direct.

I have largely given up trying to convince others. It seems so much more fun to believe these wild ideas than to consider rational ideas based on evidence.

you are missing the point, it is still a year of work, regardless of gender.

A lot of hobbies are expensive and take-up space, so that argument doesn't hold up in reality. If you are into hardware, you choose hardware. Software versions of Eurorack just don't have the same feel. Even VCV seems clunky. My c

I really enjoyed Crenshaw's series on a Sweet 16-like interpreter in Embedded Programming (Programmer's Toolbox section) around 1999. He has a charming way of tying technology with history from his point of view. Found one article

NIH grants are extremely hard to write and get funded if outside of an educational institution. I have tried both in and out of school; inside it was relatively easy, outside near impossible. YMMV.

No, they have an API to figure it out, but it isn't included as far as I can tell by default in an online purchase.

Depends on the problem domain. Some problems/algorithms, like genetic algorithms, are simple to implement on multicore systems with thread pools with significant gains in overall performance.

Are they an accredited institution? A degree is more than a piece of paper.

So you have seat heating elements, but software has disabled them? Nice. Feels like a multi-core processor with half of the processors disabled.

Thanks to the pointer to Bret Victor's video on Inventing on Principle. Nice to see you brought some of his concepts into SCRIPT-8.

Micro-inverters are getting quite cheap now, each of my 20 solar panels have one. Out comes 120 volts, but still variable amperage.

Nagasaki and Hiroshima were both air burst explosions for maximal blast, but didn't contaminate the ground as much as a ground explosion would.

Try to read and take notes (I do it on paper) as you find new things. Shelving things for the future is futile and I have stopped. The really good stuff gets sent to instapaper and starred with an appropriate tag.

You use function keys for repetitive tasks, if you don't repeat it enough to worry about, then it is a non-issue.

The future changes are clearly written on the wall. If the credit markets continue to ignore the trends and the risks of oil, then they deserve to loose money.

The obvious focus is deep learning, but those models need data, trained and deployed. There is a lot of work on those edges that require some AI knowledge. Also don't forget there are lots of AI techniques that are just as important no

A typical hobbyist doesn't need to buy in bulk. When I started with Arduino when it first came out, I never heard of TI launchpad series. So Arduino was first to the show. As a side: in my simple projects, not one has ever needed Wi-Fi

Yes, but in the end they did promote a cheap, easy to use platform something that the processing guys didn't quite achieve.

That is why many linux aficionados have a game box (xbox, ps4). Trying to target linux sounds like a nightmare with regards to distro, hardware, etc.

The fact that the bible has been around for thousands of years while slavery flourished and continued should be enough evidence. Asking for an academic reference is a bit off here.

> Reading just bits and pieces of the bible doesn't give you the proper context to interpret properly. Right, but if you read more you will be utterly confused and find conflicting views. Which is why most people only pick the parts

Slavery was present in the US until 1860 or so, and I think the bible was around a little before that time. The Bible does not specifically condemn the practice of slavery. It gives instructions on how slaves should be treated (Deuteronomy
