I don't understand the purpose of this device. Is it just a tablet and camera on wheels? My Roomba at least keeps the floors clean...

for ethernet you'll want to get a usb-c dongle right now, sadly. But the expansion cards look like they could support an ethernet NIC. It just has to be made. If framework is successful, I expect we'll see more expansion cards.

clinical trials are ongoing for <12 year olds. The biggest change is that the dosages will have to be lower. If you give a young child the current adult dose they will have a higher chance of side effects.

An in-memory b-tree or one stored on disk? The first one should not be a huge amount of work over implementing, say, a red-black tree. But sorting out the disk storage is hard (and in the end, you've just written a database!)

The hoops you have to jump through to snag one of these jobs make it seem like everyone there must be on top of their game. The truth seems to be that once you've got the position you can coast, these organizations are just too large,

The company i work for makes absurd profits and has hundreds of millions of dollars of just cash on hand, even after reinvestment. I helped create that value (and frankly a large amount of it actually). Why shouldn't i get compensated

XMLHttpRequest wasn't introduced (in IE!) until 1999, and almost nobody was using until after 2000. So how did you do make that work without a client side request mechanism?

Whether glyphosate causes cancer or not, there is much less doubt that it has a harmful impact on insect populations and on aquatic wildlife from runoff. Hundreds of thousands of tons of glyphosate soaking into the ground and into the wate
