I thought Patrick Boyle was a rap specialist music major?

This user has a strange post history.

I mean, when people point out that Joe Biden is a Neocon who supports Israel and USAs rightful dominant place in the world... Erm I agree with that and want to vote for him.

I'm a Neocon. And proud of it and can defend a lot of my positions.


What pisses me off about the new wave of conservatives is that it's all reactionary. There is no guiding philosophy.

With regards to neoconservatives: I know we get a bad rap since Bush. But events like Ukraine show the importance of us being the stalwart defenders and stepping up to challenges around the world.

But thats the thing. I'll tell you that while proudly wearing my colors as a Neocon. This 'Libs of TikTok' bullshit is just fucking awful politics. We can't actually work or talk around our issues when people are pretending to be on the wrong sides of debates

Politics shouldn't be about 'owning' the other side. Politics should be about effectively communicating our beliefs to each other, especially our disagreements. And finding compromises where possible.


Anyway, it's Joever to some extent so I guess all in on Kamala. She's still acceptable to my philosophy if only because Trump + JD Vance is such a bad choice. So y'all got my vote this year, at least temporarily.

Unlike you and your ilk, I’m willing to go outside the safe zone (fkn lol) and interact with people who have different opinions. Only cowards stay in their little bubbles chit talking day in and day out. And that’s a knock at both leftists and rightists.

I'm a Republican. This area is outside my safe zone. But outrage politics affects us all and I judge people who engage in it harshly.

But sure. Judge me harder daddy. I haven't stated my opinion yet, I'm simply pointing out that you're engaging in outrage politics and you probably shouldn't be flexing on that.

No.

You, like other conservatives, are hooked on the ravenous red meat of outrage. And instead of trying to move away from outrage politics, you defend it. And more importantly, you do so while claiming to be of a different ideology because you've noticed that the word "conservative" is no longer looked well upon in some social circles.

Defending the Libs of TikTok isn't the flex you think it is.

I'm only responding in the hopes you recognize this eventually and grow a bit of self-reflection over this situation. Good luck man.

Ah.

So you're a "Libs of TikTok" guy. Conservatives call themselves Liberal and you believe them.

Jack Dorsey is Libertarian, which is Republican-leaning.

Jack Dorsey was a progressive?

Communism / Lennism / Marxism was the left-authoritarians.

Fascism was the right-wing authoritarians.

See WW2 for details.

A lot of us were hoping to push gun control actually.

I'm glad you and me are together for voting.

But coming up with a strategy to win Arizona, Pennsylvania and Michigan is now harder than ever.

We probably just lost Pennsylvania over this. This assassination attempt was in that State.

 

I've preferred Pixel phones for the last few years but I've heard that Pixel 6/7 had 5G connection problems (Pixel 8 apparently has a better modem, but I think I'd rather stick to a Qualcomm design for now).

So onto looking for my next phone.

I haven't considered a Samsung smartphone in years because I hated their TouchWiz stuff. But apparently they got rid of that like 8 years ago and have had multiple versions of updates. Can anyone comment on how good "One UI" is compared to stock Android? How much bloatware does it feel like? And what kind of customizations did Samsung do to the UI exactly?

I'm also looking at Asus Zenfone 11, but I figure the "mainstream" choice today is Samsung, so I'll also have to seriously consider Samsung phones.

 

Ian Cutress muses upon rumors around SiFive, the forerunner of high-performance RISC-V cores.

 

Thanks to the 15mm x 15mm ATSAMA5D27 package from Microchip, this company created a 20mm x 20mm Linux computer roughly the size of a coin.

Small computers have been getting posted over at Hacker News, so I figured I'd share this one here in !technology.

EDIT: This PDF contains very detailed electrical information for the EEs who wanna go through the complaint: https://www.autoevolution.com/pdf/news_attachements/breaking-nhtsa-petition-shows-tesla-s-sudden-unintended-acceleration-is-real-and-curable-217525.pdf

Last year at /r/RealTesla, a Chinese video of a car rocketing at full speed for 1+ minutes before crashing / killing a pedestrian made the rounds. We all recognized it as one of the weirder cases of "Sudden Unintended Acceleration", and I think that particular video really changed some minds.

https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/china/tesla-to-assist-police-probe-fatal-model-y-acceleration-incident-in-china-articleshow.html

While a lot of SUA events are from driver-error, it began a search into why Teslas seemed to be getting more SUA above-and-beyond the industry normal. This investigation (now filed under NHTSA) suggests that the ADC could be miscalibrated during a load-dump (or other electrical surge-like) scenario.

If the ADC associated with the accelerator pedal is off, then the Tesla will have the pedal at the wrong level of acceleration until the next calibration event, which is not going to happen until over a minute later.

This is extremely similar to that Chinese runaway Tesla, and perfectly seems to explain it. I'm glad that someone seems to have gotten to the bottom of this.
