Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I don't ever use the services they provide and I won't because they are provided by the other country I am a national of. I have no links to the US. Zero.

I guess to fit in your analogy I live underwater?

And any ISAs (or similar tax free savings things) you hold are fully taxable by the US. Joy.

What's the embassy doing for me as an American citizen living abroad who uses none of their services (except passport renewal but that's only because of the other ridiculous rule that US citizens must travel there on a US passport). Why am I paying for it?

And how about they make this service opt-in. I was born in the US but I have had nothing to do with the place for 95% of my life and I don't want their help. Why must I fill out their paperwork every year or pay them money to opt-out (which I can't even do anymore because of the current backlog).

No, see evidence regarding energy drinks in the references of https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

> Several studies identified a strong, positive association between the use of energy drinks and higher odds of health-damaging behaviours, as well as physical health symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, hyperactivity and insomnia

The tools in these replies also offer similar functionality (in terms of running sql queries against csv data) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27763129

Indeed, there's definitely an appetite for bizarre/weird stories on HN and as someone who lives outside of the US this seems totally bizarre to me. Even more bizarre that some other states already allow this.

But actually, not that interesting to me. Provided they stay out there and shoot amongst themselves as is their "God-given right", or whatever it is.

And the tech/IP they offer is way behind the competition. They were not a realistic choice when we last sat down.

But the chance to utilise EMIB would be cool.

> It's just they simply didn't.

They've wanted to go in this direction for many years and so far failed. We've had meetings with them over the years and both times their offering was uncompetitive. I'm not sure what the sales people are supposed to do if the core technologies fabless customers want are not available.

I lot of people don't realise Intel are already in the foundary business. I'm not surprised their customers are not shouting about it - why would you want to tell everyone you are using an arguably failed process.

That is my question also and presumably the answer is "not very good" but we'll have to wait and see as I can't find any info on this. Surely they'll have to rate the experience on a per-game basis when in 4k docked mode else (a small number of) people won't be happy.

In the UK it needs to be less than 0.05% to be 'Alcohol free' compared to the EU where it only needs to be below 0.5%.

And Mikkeller's Drink’in the Sun is a great beer.

A brewery near me did a run of "Tomato Gose" which I really liked and then followed by "Clamato" which was interesting... and I learned that clam juice is a thing in Canada.

Sorry if this is obvious, but how do we know this isn't due to something more "innocent" like fragmentation?

Are these the jobs based in Israel?

>> preprocessing/templating

> so your tool (vhdl/verilog) requires using another tool (perl/tcl/python) to be productive and you think that's not a failing of the (first) tool?

In my opinion yes it does, and yes that is a failing. But what I was saying is, that alone is not worth the large cost of moving to something new. I was asking if Slice could offer anything more to justify that large cost.

I've looked before at these high-level things generating Verilog and I don't see what they bring that's so much better than what I can do with well-established VHDL. VHDL is rather verbose but that's nothing a bit of preprocessing/templating can't fix. Does slice offer something more here? I've looked at the readme but nothng jumps out. And I'm not even talking about vhdl-2019, which looks awesome (I can't wait to use in 2039 when it becomes supported in my tools)!

Is this just the next step after lossless now that everyone supports that (or soon will)? I'd be surprised if this would drive subscriptions but I guess it's still a nice differentiator to have; although I personally have zero interest in it, just as I have zero interest in these lossless quality options.

But my real question for those in the know is: what will be the next after this? Where else can they go with audio (other than make it all work better wirelessly)?

I don't if useful but there are also existing projects like https://github.com/schollz/raspberry-pi-turnkey and https://github.com/sabhiram/raspberry-wifi-config which have the Pi configure an open WiFi AP if a network has not yet been configured which then allow the user to setup their network through a simple wizard-like web interface.

Technically it might be an "open-source Google Cast" alternative but it's definitely not an "Open-source Chromecast" alternative. If it was, I would be able to open any app that supports Google Cast and control a device running this software like I can control a Chromecast. But it doesn't support that, and that's what most people are expecting/wanting. It might be a great project but it's not able to provide the tight integration that makes Google Cast so good.

And this title is misleading.

What exactly do you want? If you want to have some device appear in the target list when using google cast in apps then I think you are stuck waiting for Google to (never) open that up.

Edit: although maybe some apps still support DIAL and that might be an option.

Enterprise networking chips happily run 80C+ junction temperature (much too hot to touch) for the part lifetime - which is 10+ years.

There are plenty of things that damage chips, especially those at 7nm and beyond but this too-hot-to-touch "rule" is rubbish.

This. A great way to reduce the cost of your chip is to add SRAM to it. I'm not joking.

The metadata for some of my filew is total junk. If I used another tool to strip that bad metadata would it then use the datestamps in the filename? I think this was defeating the de-duplication also. In an ideal world I'd be able to configure everything from a particular source folder to use filename datestamps.

Yes, this is what I meant and the solution you describe is what I'd be looking for. So +1 from me!

I'm British and to me "quite" here means "mostly" i.e. not entirely. Could well be a misunderstanding but it should be made clearer as this data is priceless.

I really didn't have much luck with the de-duplication. I tried photostructure for about 3 weeks and since stopped. I was trying to pull photos from multiple different drives/folders into one central organised place. A few issues:

  - The de-duplication didn't seem to work, it at least was defeated by my messy files. I spent many hours manually going through the results and finding many dupes. Then I lost interest in doing that and gave up.

Edit: I've just realised, was this (by design) simply copying each photo into the merged tree but then if I browse using the photostructure app it will hide the dupes? Can I prevent it making a copy? I want to use other file/photo browsers also.

  - can't use datestamp info in the filename?

  - very, very slow to sync from my external USB 3 drive. I'd be happy with that if the de-duplication worked. Also the status about what it's doing seems sporadic and half the time appears to be doing nothing at all. Maybe my laptop is too slow? 
 
  - no map view

I did like the feed of random photos. I saw loads of great old snaps I'd forgotten about. Somewhat bizarrely, when I wanted to share them quickly with others I ended up taking a photo of the photo(s) with my smartphone and sharing that via WhatsApp. That's more my failing but it did seem a bit silly that I resorted to doing that.

I really like how they transition between different screens so seemlessly with guestures (and also voice commands). I'd like to be able to do something similar on my phone so rather than clicking the chromecast icon and selecting which device, I'd like to swipe/flick towards the device I want to use. And ideally I'd like to expand (sorry) this to non-chromecast stuff like Spotify Connect (or MPD etc). Is there anything out there like that for Android? Some kind of location/orientation aware "casting" helper?

Relatedly I wish there was less of a delay when trying to cast to the TV. Perhaps it's that, rather than the extra button clicks, that disrupts the flow so much. It's not like my smart TV hasn't got a powerful processor and a super-fast internet connection - why am I still seeing loading screens?!

So despite a lot of comments here saying that can't tell the difference, there are still people out there determined to pay more money for Tidal's "HiFi" sound quality and with both Amazon and Spotify (Apple also?) also now coming out with "lossless" quality options. It may be considered snake oil by some but snake oil sells (not news).

It sounds you think the UK police are able to perform a sufficienty thorough search in a matter of hours. That sounds ideal and of course theoretically feasible but maybe not realistic. For anything longer than hours they are always going to (and IMO should) remove a suspected person from a position that directly involves children.
