I feel like we should be normalizing $1, $2, and $5 coins at this point. I know $1 coins exist, but nobody uses them. If I drop a $1 coin in a tip jar, people say sarcastically “thanks, that 25 cents will go a long way” because they think it’s a quarter.

Abolishing the USD cent comes way too late.

Was abolishing the half penny in 1857 a good idea? If so, then abolishing the quarter would be a good idea today. It has about as much buying power as the half penny did in 1857.

They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There’s no practical purpose for them now.

In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.

If you’re asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that’s usually high-end audio recording.

Can I go into exile?

The maximum theoretical precision of an analog computer is limited by the charge of an electron, 10^-19 coulombs. A normal analog computer runs at a few milliamps, for a second max. So a max theoretical precision of 10^16, or 53 bits. This is the same as a double precision (64-bit) float. I believe 80-bit floats are standard in desktop computers.

In practice, just getting a good 24-bit ADC is expensive, and 12-bit or 16-bit ADCs are way more common. Analog computers aren’t solving anything that can’t be done faster by digitally simulating an analog computer.

Better dead than in a concentration camp. If they assault someone violently, it’s more likely to turn heads (especially if they’re a US citizen. For some reason.)

Any info on this? I can’t find anything about Chipotle removing any DEI stuff.

The counterfeit claim is bullshit. If they cared about counterfeits, they’d raid Amazon first.

Inkjet printers are good for furry artists who sell prints at conventions. Hmm… that’s actually so specific that it reinforces your point.

Everyone already had the choice to use this before. You can visit any site with a search box, and add that site as a search engine to Firefox.

This is forcing it down people’s throats.

How do I prevent new antifeatures from being added? How do I even know about the new antifeatures as they are added? Does Mozilla publish an RSS feed of each antifeature like this that they add, that gives a quick explanation of how to undo it?

I think we’re more at the point where they should be getting arrested by local cops. It says a lot that local cops are defending them instead.

Saying “I will shoot you” is illegal, no matter who you are. It doesn’t matter if they work for ICE, the FBI, the local police, or McDonalds; they should be arrested if they say that.

Removed by mod

Qualcomm won’t send you a datasheet unless you can promise an order of 100,000. Arduino has always been open specification, and this is totally incompatible with Qualcomm.

I would never subscribe to Crunchyroll, because they use DRM.

“This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement. This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district.”

Having a handgun is not illegal in Iowa. No permit is required for concealed or open carry.

The part about work authorization is a lie. This employee completed the I9 process. They were working legally in the US at the start of their employment, and there’s no evidence to suggest that changed.

“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go,”

This quote by Kavanaugh is a false statement, and probably a lie. Lots of permanent residents with valid green cards and people with valid visas are getting abducted by ICE, and then their visa or green card is simply revoked for no reason. Then they are deported.

Which governor are you referring to? Illinois or Louisiana?

Don’t post this trash if you’re not going to verify it.

Give Microsoft some credit! Excel has been able to come up with wrong answers for decades. For example, reporting 1900 as a leap year.
