The biggest hot-topic issue this election should have been abortion (and by extension, SCOTUS). But the discussion got side-tracked by all this talk of old age. The debate just reinforced the narrative and concern with Biden. They would have hammered him over and over, with Trump bragging about how quickly he recovered from an injury.

Now, we have:

• A sittingVP with actual Whitehouse experience, who can take credit for all the economic policies under Biden. Also, a former Senator.
• A prosecutor and former Attorney General vs a convicted felon.
• The age issue disappears (in fact, it now becomes a liability against Trump).
• A woman vs the guy who bragged about killing Roe v. Wade.
• Future of SCOTUS.

If she just keeps talking about those topics non-stop, she'll do fine.

The only thing better would have been if Biden had resigned to let people see her in the actual role, but this works. She picks a mid-westerner as VP who can stand up to Vance and it's a whole new ballgame.

I'm actually stoked about this race again.

Little Bobby Tables says hi.

The year is 2245. The heirs finally locate a working, antique reader that can handle the ancient USB key, hoping to find great-great-grandpa's crypto-wallet or the pin-code to a long-lost Maltese bank account.

Instead, they find a 4-bit, VGA-quality scan of Miss October.

ARM is a UK-based company. If they hadn't dropped out of EU, it's possible they would have settled on an ARM-based supercomputer design.

Chalk it up to another WIN for Brexit!

"... As a great CEO..."

How long before the students gamify it to see who can generate the most alerts?

Management would fold in 24 hours if they threatened to withhold Wordle.

Rode in a car with a full tinted glass roof once. Everybody's brains were boiling.

Looking at that picture, all I see is sunburn, heatstroke, and headache.

If the Kennedy campaign dropped out, Shanahan said she’d consider running for governor of California.

If my grade school art teacher was correct, they could take some red cranberry juice and add some yellow lemon juice to get the same result.

Wait till they find out what software 'architects' really do.

Prediction: first big company to offer 32-hour work week at no loss of pay, with choice of remote or hybrid, will hoover up all the Grade-A talent.

This sounds like there are some undocumented opcodes on the HCI side -- the Host Computer Interface -- not the wireless side. By itself, it's not that big a deal. If someone can prove that there's some sort of custom BLE packet that gives access to those HCI opcodes wirelessly, I'd be REALLY concerned.

But if it's just on the host side, you can only get to it if you've cracked the box and have access to the wiring. If someone has that kind of access, they're likely to be able to flash their own firmware and take over the whole device anyway.

Not sure this disclosure increases the risk any. I wouldn't start panicking.

Was listening to an interview with NY Governor on imposing cell phone ban in schools. Said if they left it to individual schools or school districts, there would be lots of pressure from parents or individual groups not to do it and the whole thing would fail. And if they made it voluntary, some kids would comply, but there would be social pressure to keep things as-is, due to FOMO.

Instead, the government would pass a uniform, mandatory law and take the heat.

Seems like that's what will be needed to change everyone to a 4x8 week. Similar dynamic. Do, not ask.

That's what you might call, a career-limiting decision.

Worked on a project where devices just magically froze, but only during the month of February!

Turned out the people who had written the firmware had decided to do their own time math to save space and had put in an exception in the code for leap year values. Except instead of February 29th, it kicked in for the whole month. And the math was wrong so you ended up with negative values.

The product was due for launch in March of that year and was headed to manufacturing. It was by sheer luck that someone ran a test on February 1st and caught the problem.

Don't mess with time in code, kids.

This is often a proxy for a different question.
