If you're into this sort of stuff, there's a relatively new Youtube Channel where the creator puts an interesting subject under an electron microscope and talks about it. I find his videography & micrography aesthetically plea

Cool tool! It would be great if you showed the PP-adjusted value converted to USD (Using current exchange rates). It might make it easier for me to understand the values for countries I haven't lived in. For example, $1 USD allows me t

+1. Linux support is pretty good these days... unless you're trying to run it on a Surface Pro or something. I'm just worried that I won't be able to find any alternative to the iPhone. The Librem and Pine phones look promisi

Interesting! I was confused by the electric vertical motors in the news story's image... but it looks like the main engine is fuel powered, and an alternator powers the electric motors: https://www.muginuav.com/wp-conte

I've used this on Linux as well.

Yes, the problem is that I'm lumped into a group using a term that doesn't describe me accurately. > What purpose is served by focusing on skin color? I'm as clueless as you on this. Skin color is largely unimportant, and

I prefer any grouping that describes me using attributes that actually belong to me. "Human", "Dark skinned person", "Engineer", etc I'm not a "Black Person". I get that's the term that pe

This is great! I hope we can slowly stop referring to people using these crude reductions. I remember arguing with a classmate when I was a child, arguing that I wasn't "Black". I wasn't necessarily offended by the term.

I've been thinking about going down the TrueNAS route (the TrueNAS Mini series looks really nice), but it seems a little expensive. Is the extra cost worth the convenience of having a machine that you know will stay compatible with Fre

Thanks! Looks like they link Facebook's 10Q filing. Can't tell how they arrived at the number though. I agree that their losses were surprisingly high at the time... especially given how lean their engineering team and operations

Very cool! Seems like a great way to scale up deployment of inference models. I wonder if this means that they will extend V8 to allow Tensorflow JS to run on a CUDA backend rather than WebGL? Edit: It seems like TensorflowJS already has a

$NUAN's spike from $45 on Friday makes sense. However, I'm having trouble figuring out why they currently trade at ~$53 given that the market knows that Microsoft will pay $56 for each share. ( https://news.microsoft.com

It's about Samy Bengio (who is Yoshua's brother and technically related). It is confusing though, and the title should be updated to avoid confusion.

+1 Though I'm a little worried that the photos will end up there again... because of the permissive license.

by mwambua 6y ago
I'm no expert on this, but I believe their license implies that you can upload your photos elsewhere: https://unsplash.com/license However, deleting your photos does not prevent other people from using them in the futu

Google Photos. Easy image backup, arranged chronologically, with the ability to arrange stuff into albums. I haven't found anything quite like it since they killed off Picasa... and it has the added bonus of working across my operating

Can you remedy this problem by making it so that anyone can delete the file? That way anyone can take it down if they have a problem with it? It's supposed to be ephemeral storage anyway... people might not mind having files disappea

Adding those would be awesome (Especially if they could still keep the price under $100). The primary reason I use a smartwatch is for all the health-related features. I'd otherwise just wear a dumb watch whose battery will last me 10

I guess I don't understand why it would be offensive then. Can anyone link a good explanation of why it is?

I think that's a reasonable argument. I just don't get the argument against using Master in the first place.

Are we just changing the nomenclature because we want to pretend that master-slave relationships did/do not exist? What is this fixing? (Genuine question from a person who grew up in a former colony)
