Some wars for public opinion, are lost and won on social media.

Those who post quickest have a higher chance of not getting lost in the noise and that is where bots will probably be used first by individuals as well.

With that said, hopefully this not the future and new ways of moderating and presenting information will be invented, but the way things are now, it's a slug-fest and the fastest and loudest often wins.

I can think of couple of reasons:

1. as a public company, they are afraid to lose so many accounts - see Netflix as an example on what could happen to their stock

2. bots are the future, at some point I think everyone will have a bot to post for them

What drew me to Horizon EDA was that it has interactive router (based on code from KiCad) with push and shove functions. It also has straightforward interface, and it's fast. Recently ODB++ support was added, probably the first (and only?) for open source EDA.

I wish it had ready to use footprints (other than basic resistors, caps, etc), especially from LCSC catalogue.

I saw old footage, posted on yt, with three sailors lifted of the ground when Akron was landing, tragically, two could not hold on. I recall that, because I though to myself that today's news would not have shown all the gruesome details, specially with such sensational commentary.

I would imagine it actually looks even worse since low-mid tier laptops can only display 60% sRGB.

"the new study provides valuable clues about the potential for short-term epigenetic inheritance to influence longer-term evolution, too."

Chemistry is different but mechanism is pretty universal, across the species.

"the average Core i5-1135G7 in our database is just as fast as the Core i5-10400H, Core i5-8300H, and Ryzen 7 3700U in multi-core benchmarks. The CPU acts even nicer when under single-core load, reaching similar heights as the Ryzen 7 5600X and Core i7-8700K."

From what I could find tb3 to PCIe is very expensive. NVME is basically a protocol on top of PCIe with m.2 connector.

Here's an example of m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter: https://www.delock.com/produkt/64131/merkmale.html

If adapter is possible we could use 4 port gig adapter for a nice pfsense/opnsense router or a VM server.

Will BIOS support PCIe network card (with PCIe extender) connected to PCIe port? How many lines is it?

Networking and collaboration is hard to substitute though. As to the costs, looking for a substitute to college because it's expensive it's like treating a symptom rather than the cause.

4. There are companies that will not even consider an applicant w/o BA degree, no matter what experience (HR filters).

Anyway, in large measure, we are only talking how college is not for everyone because it's so expensive. It's fine to have alternatives but education needs to be more accessible to those that want it.

Jury is selected and approved by layers and judge. Judge and lawyers are in much better position to select someone competent than age, especially at low and high extremes. Just like there are few 18 yo juror's there would be likely very few 16 yo ones.

Speaking of age, there's an interesting research that found: "that conviction rates increase by about 1 percentage point for each year increase in the average age of the jury pool"

Solution is straightforward, although often not plug and play - only use IoT devices that you can control, based on ESP8266 or ESP32, that can be flashed to Tasmota, ESPhome, etc and controlled with Home Assistant.

“Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.”

That is an interesting idea, but hard to implement in practice, to only allow mature enough people to vote. Being mature means different things to different people, but I suspect that even we we agreed on a definition we would find that a lot of adults would not qualify.

Is there something better? Seems like pendulum swings the opposite way once it reaches western democracy.

The difference is that I have no control what Russia does with my information but I have some control over what my country is doing with it.

If started at 16 young people would be much better voters at 18 than current 18 year old voters are and so on. There are examples of uninformed voters at all age groups (voting across party lines is one example). Young people should have a chance to participate in our democracy and should be able to vote, if not in general, at least in municipal elections.

Yes, I observed that also. They are are faster physically and mentally (such as operating or discovering how things/software works) and a lot more logical (but not in depth). Simple recent example, doing trail making test (for fun) they were twice as fast while I was average.

This is why I wish system would allow for more young politicians and leaders, lower voting age of 16, and maximum voting age of average lifetime expectancy - 16.

Makes one wonder, however, what other 'handshake deals' with autocratic government there are.

I also could hear CRT when on (probably high voltage PSU) as a kid. Recently, I thought my tinnitus got worse until I found that one of my smart power supplies started making high pitch sound (ceramic capacitors in power supplies cause it).

Makes me wonder however, where Ukraine's (edit)Neptune missiles where all this time and why Ukraine is getting Harpoon missiles from UK if they have their own.

On that same page there's another article titled:

Военная операция на Украине. Онлайн

Which google translates to: "Military operation in Ukraine. Online"

However Военная also means war, so I wonder how different would the tile be to say War operation in Ukraine? Would it be война на Украине?

Their margins are sky high! Cost of water is less than 1c, flavor probably another 1c.

"I feel like I've hit my zenith already and it's just a slow decline from here on out. I’ve been dreading this day because it’s a sad reminder of that."

Yes, it's very likely that you have hit your local maxima. You've been preparing for this day and the day came. It maybe worth noting to oneself that it did not turn out the way you predicted and perhaps identify, if possible, causes that your prediction was so off. Considering that you subconsciously believed that your life will be short, perhaps there were things you did not like in your life that you have compromised upon or negative feelings suppressed that contribute to feeling unhappy?

To skive: avoid work or a duty by staying away or leaving early I wonder how it came to be called skiving?

EDIT: apparently it's origin is french word esquiver which means to slink away

Speech is sending and receiving information.

Speech/information needs to be processed/filtered/analyzed. People may not be equipped to deal with certain information - hence we try to manage it externally and internally.

Suppressing from of information starts at early, at childhood. We try not bombard our children with all the information indiscriminately. We curate and provide age appropriate information to ensure optimal development and growth.

Once a person becomes adult they are supposed to gather and process information on their own. However, even as adults we are susceptible to deception. Our judgement can be fooled, feeling can override our logic.

In conclusion, I think there's a need for curation of the information/speech. Not forbidding it outright, but certainly to help humans discern facts from fiction, for example.

Due to Covid many of us probably drive a lot less (working from home) so gasoline prices are not a big deal. However people in service sector jobs are likely affected by fuel costs.

I think the biggest problem is cult of personality. Instead of discussing actual issues we focus on elevating or disparaging people. In your example - what is the chance that 'your' politician X is always right?

Why reach for what-if scenario. Finland and Sweden already have an example of a country that did not join NATO and see the consequences of it.
