If it's so sensitive to device variance, I'd expect that it doesn't behave well outside a narrow temperature range.

synthos··on Trudeau Invokes Emergencies Act
"It was loud the first week due to honking but even that's stopped. And even if there were honking, that's not violence."

Some trucks had train horns installed, significantly louder than regular horns. Trucks were honking continuously, all night. There is a line where too much noise can be considered violence. Certainly, if I was downtown and had a baby trying to sleep during that shit I'd be throwing rocks at trucks at 2am.

False: 'got natural immunity which is superior'

Work with the city to park in a designated spot and then protest on foot in front of parliament. Not 'move-in' and set up hot tubs, saunas, and sleep in your truck on Wellington.

Coffee shop with the window smashed (speculated it was because of the visible pride flag)

These trucks are extremely difficult to remove. And while you can still remove them if the air brakes are on it takes longer. Not only that, most rig towing companies won't do anything for fear of reprisal.

My comment or question was more rhetorical. There is a nigh-zero chance that the comment-OP responds to any of my questions or posts any more comments. I leave it to the reader to extrapolate why that is the case.

Thank you. Schoolboard don't risk lawsuit from freezing children. Parent post is pure misinformation from brand new account with, quite honestly, the most eyerolling 'Canadian' name someone thought of.

Thank you, I will email dang. Is the address dang at ycombinator dot com ?
synthos··on Names of Canada truck convoy donors leaked after reported hack
You are not mistaken. Check my reply to an account (created 1hr after OP post) with one comment here. Comment was self contradictory and has misinformation.

If it walks, talks, and looks like a duck...

Political posts should require accounts older than X to comment, imho

May I highlight this is your _very_ first comment on this website. Why did you suddenly decide to make an account and post your first comment here? Do you work in technology?

So your daughter has remote learning or not? You can't make both arguments without clarifying.

If she was remote learning she knows her teacher's face. If she isn't remote now she knows her teacher's face

It's all down to how a poll accurately frames a question:

Do people like restrictions? No, nobody likes restrictions. Do people like restrictions that save lives? Still don't 'like' them but believe sacrifice is necessary for the greater good.

Do I support people's right to protest? Yes, but... You can't honk all night Block major infrastructure for days Desecrate war monuments Flood 911 with fake calls

Etc.

It's especially ironic when they argue "their body their choice" w.r.t. vaccines. Then when asked about abortion only the most rational ones will see the parallel.
synthos··on Ontario court freezes access to donations for truckers' protest from GiveSendGo
Flooding 911 is not "making someone uncomfortable" it's endangering the public and interfering with law enforcement.

Blocking an international bridge and disrupting the economy, is that just "making someone uncomfortable"?

synthos··on Two sparsities are better than one: Performance of sparse-sparse networks
It's the power savings that are the real goal. If you can create and (re)train a network for incredible sparsity you can fit inference in some pretty low power envelopes. I think to that end the work required to get to adequate perform is justified

Or the convoy protestors flooding 911 line in Ottawa with fake calls.

Or the convoy protestors honking _all_ night the first week of the protest. Imagine a resident with a newborn or baby downtown.

Believe it or not, I actually support people's right to choose, with certain conditions/exceptions. However, their actions are out of line and out of hand now.

These campaigns are being funded mostly by American dollars. These protests are now a proxy war waged by American anti-vaxxers. Automotive plants are shutting down productions, residents are fed up.

These protestors had very little public support to begin with, but blocking major US-Canada land bridge is completely unacceptable. I couldnt give two shits if these people are made 'whole'

So easy to set up too with docker. You can even generate a QR code to easily set up a mobile device. You do need a domain name, DDNS, or a static IP and the ability to port forward from the router

Is it? Last I understood, most games have no real locomotion to prevent motion sickness. Is it really the pinnacle of gaming if you have to teleport from A->B all the time?

How is the power consumption?

Is it sensitive to noise or interference?

The VR headset application appeals to me. If headsets could be dumb terminals they would be a lot lighter and untethered wouldn't suffer from performance loss.
