Will the GPIO pins include the hardware SPI, I2C, or UART pins? I'm excited about the extra compute available from the RPi4, but obviously the CM4 isn't out yet.

Require landlords to pay for heat? That would align incentives somewhat, though then the tenant has no incentive to be efficient. A 50/50 split might work, since landlord is responsible for energy efficiency of the home and the tenant

Uber and Lyft are the mechanical Turk version of self driving cars. They cause congestion.

IMO it's more efficient to allow a means-tested tax deferral until sale, at a low interest rate.

For a corporation, "avoiding doing it again" means dedicating resources to preventing a repeat of that type of "mistake": audits, privacy reviews, etc. The choice not to dedicate those resources up front was an intention

If there is enough information in EEG signals to generate speech, an intervening layer to "convert" EEG signals into ECoG signals is an unnecessary complication.

I used to think this too -- but Tesla has killed half-a-dozen or so of their customers with no apparent brand repercussions, let alone an impact on the broader AV space!

Do you consider the cold metallic palmrests typical in laptops to be somehow more functional? I find the rubber palmrests quite comfortable. Also your wrists are _supposed_ to be elevated when typing.
