Control panel has sucked since windows 2.0

The “service” Carta is selling here is your company to other people.

Given 99% of private companies have specific limitations on not being able to do this with a company’s securities, this almost certainly runs afoul of SEC, FINRA, and other fraud regulations.

If you're going to tell me you're any kind of "governance" advisor to a company that defrauded people to the tune of billions, I am not going to pretend you are somehow not partially liable.

There’s literally no one who has done more for decarbonization and reliance on fossil fuels in the world.

God I wish he’d shut up and get off twitter.

We have a free market, multiple social platforms exist. Ones that moderate certain content lose certain users. You can chose what level of moderation you want as a customer and platforms can choose what level of moderation they want a business. Moderation technology as a service exists already.

Elon is trying to short-circuit the basic principles of free speech because he lied in a way c-suite executives and directors are not legally allowed to lie as it runs afoul of anti-fraud laws. You may not yell fire in a crowded theatre and you may not use free speech to commit fraud or when you are subject to disclosure laws you may not use free speech as a defense for breaking them.

When you are a corporate officer or director of publicly traded company you agree to following securities laws, specifically not making false statements that may impact stock prices.

Elon's antics got him a twitter-sitter and now he wants to own twitter in some sort of byzantine strategy to get around rules he agreed to (and their consequences necessitating a twitter-sitter) and have helped make him incredibly wealthy.

His arguments about open-sourcing algorithms and protecting free speech are not the actual reasons for his bid to take over twitter, he has simply amassed enough money to try to own a media outlet for the influence he could wield with it. He probably also thinks he can skirt SEC/Judicial rulings about his behavior on twitter if he owns it outright. At Elon's level of wealth, the only thing left to buy is more influence.

A guy who got a court-ordered twitter-sitter should probably not be in charge of Twitter as he doesn’t seem to understand what protected speech is.

You don’t get to say whatever you want as the CEO of a publicly traded company without consequences — especially as it relates to stock prices and shareholder information.

You don’t get to argue that a company is infringing on your right to free speech — that’s not how free speech works.

As a long-time Musk fan, I find this unhealthy obsession with Twitter to really be the final straw. The man is unhinged and may be completely undermining all the good SpaceX and Tesla are capable of.

My AirPods don’t connect correctly about 20% of the time (at minimum) and switch connections for absolutely no reason to my Mac or iPhone despite those devices having no audio activity (in the middle of an active audio call on the active device, no less).

I turn off Bluetooth on the device I’m not using when I need to do a work call as a precaution.

Every headset I had before AirPods worked better than this.

Bioscience / environmental science programs will find micropython good enough for their needs. The tool itself is just the means to the end if real science. Micropython let’s you deploy in lower power applications without having to learn much beyond what you already know from Jupyter notebooks.

I really don’t know any PhD students or post-docs in microbiology/environmental sciences who have the time to learn embedded C or similar languages.

These are mobile Ivybridge chips, they were not snappy, and as late as 2013 release dates for sub 50 GFLOPs.

You nailed it.

I suspect MicroPython is going to do the same thing to Arduino/C as Python just did here in Academia as well.

Literally every single product and service boils down an exchange of currency for some embodied (goods, services) or pure energy (electricity).

Banking services are an exchange of currency for the energy embodied in protecting the accounting system and providing secure access to money.

Crypto mining uses several orders of magnitude more energy per serviced individual than the entirety of the global banking system combined.

You need at least 8gb of ram, and more than an 128gb of storage (i.e. eMMC and SDcards).

I very much doubt any sub $250 computer could really handle your basic day-to-day tasks (or anyone else' on HN).

ARM-based Chromebook's have already proven that Pi 4-comparable SoCs can do most basic computing needs for consumers.

The idea that essential computing needs can be met with a $100 Pi 400 and a $50 Screen is just kinda crazy.

That was on sale at Christmas.

That's the same price and performance as an M1 MacBook Air (slightly less actually under ideal circumstances).

It gets 75% the battery life of the M1 MacBook Air.

That has the same 2 year warranty in the EU.

It is currently not on sale for that price and is above 800 Euros -- Mac minis and MacBook Airs also go on sale for the same price.

The Portuguese guy still can't afford it, apparently.

I literally gave a link to a major Portuguese retailer in the contextual country with dozens of PCs listed. You gave a sale item in another country with a spec you prefer that has no bearing on the average consumer.

You are cherry picking badly.

My use case is different though, I will be adding an NRF9160 for connectivity so ESP32-based stuff just didn't make sense. It's also for academic customers who want to be able to work using MicroPython should I get hit by a bus.

Kinda just went with the bottom half of the 2010-2014 era chips.

Your personal experience is not the average or median one.
