Agreed. This seems sensible. I'm unsure exactly what NY is asking for here. How sensible will the ask be, barring weight discrimination? It's hard to predict the ramifications. I'm not opposed to the general idea, I just hope

It's possible to support a bike with 1000 lb weight but it's subideal for everyone else by a far measure. Does every airplane seat need to be capable of carrying literally anyone? We can design them that way yes. It'd be horr

This is like the whole world's current challenge. Are we all serfs to the rich? Or does our agency matter? China is not the only one in peril over this. It's chaos everywhere. We live in a time of contraction. The post Ww2 boom wa

This is insane! I love it. Create contacts with the whole wafer, test it all at once? Wild. Madcap. Incredible.

I think tech really needs a good campaign with these kind of virtues. It's unclear how wonderful & direct & real a world we have here. Yes we have to interface up with the dirty ridiculous ill managed weak-grasp real world, but

I really lack time to watch & respond to YouTube videos & really wish I had some ML system I used/knew to help me quickly assess such submissions. The one off the bat comment though is that it's not a development paradig

Ton of great stuff here. Interesting note on the socket count. > Oddly, despite higher inter-socket speeds, the number of total sockets supported is down from 8 to 2. This was likely done to speed time to market as it only affects a tin

Given how "smart" devices are, I wonder how long till we start to region lock devices. If you use your device in a prohibited country for more than 3 months it locks you out there. I don't celebrate devices turning against th

Has anyone tried loading the Chromecast app onto an existing phone or tablet? It looks like there's just an android app that runs but it probably isn't quite as simple as that, but I also haven't tried. That you can cast to t

This was my dream for so long. I kind of assumed I'd have lots of geeks who'd want to come over & hack. I still think this is such an exceptional idea, but I lack for thinking how I could use it in my life.

Long post. What you're saying may have some good to know particulars that I didn't get right. But the net is: the only performant way to run JS or any other non-pre-compiled (jit) language is banned. And there's separate bans

High-schooler me wanted nothing more than $500 to buy a barrel of Flourinert. And Star Bridge Systems FPGA based computers were also the future. Yes so what, I grew up on Slashdot. The future should be exciting. It kind of sort of was.

I'm not sure what logic or system you're applying, but it seems categorically wrong. Java is a VM. JS has a VM. .NET has a VM. These are all virtual machines. They're their own execution engines running compiled user code. I
