The typical cause of this is a biomarker sticks to one side of an embryo, marking it as left (or right, I don’t remember), but a twin embryo that is too close will see that marker on the other side and develop mirror imaged to the first embryo, right?
There are methodical ways of valuating a private (and public) company. Some are pessimistic and some are wildly optimistic. Your can legally use whichever one you want, only you must only use that valuation method for everything. It’s illegal to value the company low for taxes and high for loan collateral. And if you sell it, you can owe back taxes if your valuation was off (sale price is the new valuation).
This is overly-simplified US accounting rules (from finance class 10 years ago)
He took it private so, although there can be shares, they aren’t traded on the open market. So no positions to short.
In what way does dark matter interact with matter/light that people think it exists, is it gravitational?
At some point, the US made it illegal to grow or consume a plant. That seems like it would be impossible to handle legally, but it was made into law.
If objective guidelines can be made on what constitutes damaging behavior, it’s possible that it could have legal ground to stand on. I hate tiktok because it takes away so much of my wife’s time. I play Xbox, though, so it’s not like I don’t have habits that eat up time. I remember my grandma complaining about my grandad fishing. She said she saw him more before he retired.
Almost a decade ago that was true. I use budget Android phones, and Brave was the only ad-blocking browser I could use. Firefox with ad-blocking plugins was slower than Chrome with ads. Brave was chromium based and was by far the most responsive way to browse the web.
Firefox got their act together and now the Android version is great. And the plugins work well. Brave began substituting some site ads for their own ads, if I remember correctly. You’d see fewer ads, but Brave was getting some money to let a few through.
Most effects of warming averages are positive feedback. They further accelerate warming. Melting permafrost, increased wildfires, and reduced sea ice all further increase heating.
The main cooling process I’m aware of, volcanic activity, occurs randomly, and isn’t tied to climate change. I don’t think wildfires get enough ash and soot high enough in the atmosphere to affect cooling like eruptions can.
It’s not nearly as common today, but occasionally someone will still make a comment about global warming and scientists being wrong. And I’ll get to say, “yes, they were wrong. Average temperature is increasing faster than the initial forecasts.” IPCC 2018 report didn’t look the greatest, and it included effects of a carbon sequestering process that hasn’t been invented yet.
At this point, we know the world will look different in 50 years (where water is, where crops are grown, where floodplains are). Avoiding major changes is now impossible. BUT, it’s a continuum. We still have control over it being a new struggle to overcome vs a major catastrophe.
I was reading lots of buzz about the IPCC report and had an opportunity to visit a glacier in Alberta. On the hike to the glacier, they had signs showing where the glacier was over the years. At first, there would be a sign saying “1890” and 100 meters farther, a sign reading “1920”. Then it was “1940” and a hundred meters away “1960”. Then it became “2004” and 100 meters away “2008”. I forget the exact spacing, but it was very obvious that the glacier is melting at an accelerating rate. That plus the IPCC report was my realization that climate change is happening, and we’ve passed the period where it’s only observable on instruments. Most people are entering into the phase where it has real effects on our daily lives.
I really hate how insanely profitable the film industry is yet almost all the wealth goes to a few obscenely wealthy people, while the regular workers who make films struggle. My knee-jerk reaction was that it’s great that there’s a slowdown of releases to put pressure on people, but I forgot how little movie theaters usually make on movies (I think they barely make any money on the movie and make most of their income on concessions).
It’s great to see there’s a way to keep theaters earning money while the writers continue their strike.
My company blocks lemmy.zip on WiFi, but lets lemmy.world through. So I tried to be on something other than lemmy.world, but still use it about half the time.
I jiggle my wrist to open my camera app. And chopping motion turns on the flashlight
The business strategy decisions behind CPU fab is really interesting over the past 15 years.
AMD made a budget clone of Intel two decades ago. Then Intel made a misstep and released Northwood Pentium 4. AMD used less power and was faster. And AMD decided to go with DDR memory, while Intel went RDRAM. Then AMD was king when they went AMDx86-64 for 64 bit and Intel went Itanium.
Then AMD made a huge miscalculation on the future of multicore computing and designed Bulldozer, while Intel got their shit together and went down the hyperthreading route and released CORE/Core2/Core2Duo chips. And Intel was king for a decade.
I don’t know the exact timing, but AMD needed cash and sold their fabs to raise money, which became
TSMCGlobalFoundries, sorry. GF learned how to make stuff small since smartphones became a huge market. Then AMD let an engineer run the company and she invested in the Zen architecture, which could be made by GF with their lessons from the mobile world.This is my take. By AMD turning GF loose, GF could
date other peoplework on mobile projects, which helped them learn.It’s a side note now, but Intel hung on to their fabs and lagged behind GF. AMD let their fab go and benefitted from it. EDIT: I had some facts wrong. It’s possible Intel fabs are ahead of GF.
As a side note, Intel did try fairly hard to get into mobile like GF. They had the Atom chips and went for tablet, Ultrabook, netbook, and mobile. I had an ASUS Android phone with an Intel SOC. So it’s not like they ignored mobile, but it didn’t benefit them as much as TSMC.
