Transformers can increase voltage while decreasing current, or increase current while decreasing voltage, but can't increase a signal's power.

1905 is a milestone of modern physics, because it's when Special Relativity came out.

That's older than the transistor, which was commercialized in 1951. But it's also older than the vacuum tube triode, which was invented in 1906 or 1908.

In 1905, there were no amplifiers of any kind (though there were relay switches). There was almost no radio. The triode was a necessary invention for almost all of analog electronics.

Hegseth himself is a bigger threat to the US than China will ever be.

I assume bash scripts using jpegtopnm | pnmtopng are also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).

Turn signals are not optional.

Yes, I think he will (except the ones that fall over to threats, and give in to 47's demands).

But that's not the point. It's possible to have a safe factory staffed by happy, well-paid workers. If it were actually true that manufacturing would return to the US as a result of the tariffs, that manufacturing shouldn't be considered an inherently bad thing.

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

Are they trying to say it's inherently miserable to work in a factory? So let Chinese workers do it instead of Americans?

It shouldn't be miserable to work in a factory. The overhead pneumatic drill shown towards the end is just like a drill I used when I worked in a factory one summer in Chicago. It was perfectly safe, and the people I worked with were well compensated. (I was not, because I was only 16.)

I think people in China might have this attitude because to them, it usually is unsafe, miserable, and underpaid. There is no proper unionization in China, and no OSHA, so it's always bad.

In 2019, when I visited a Chinese factory for work, the assembly line was tight enough that all the workers bumped elbows constantly. One person had a very loud compressed air tube to clean off components, and wore hearing protection and safety glasses. The person next to them had no hearing protection. Another person was testing blindingly bright LED shop lights, and wore sunglasses, but the people next to them had no protection. This would have been considered totally unsafe in the US.

I doubt much manufacturing will return to the US, but if it does, then even by 2025 standards it wouldn't be as bad as in China. With OSHA gutted by the current Republican administration, it's getting worse, but we still have more worker's rights than workers in China.

Because assault rifles (or any fully automatic rifles) are highly illegal in the US, and very rare in practice. If it was an assault rifle, its existence would have been as notable of a crime as his brandishing and threatening. The police would have been unlikely to let him go, would likely have confiscated the gun, and would have reported all that to the media.

The Nintendo 64 had no 64-bit games.

They probably would have taken more flash and RAM with no advantage in performance.

Nobody knows. The police didn't say. There are no photos close enough to identify it.

The article says "gun" seven times. It's accurate and gets the point across about his crime, unlike "assault rifle", which falsely states that he had an illegal type if gun.

"Rifle" is a word that everyone knows is a type of gun. Even if not everyone knows the specifics, news people should at least look up the word before using it if they don't know. It's wrong for news people to use falsely the phrase "assault rifle" because of their ignorance.

This looks AI generated. If so, I wish you would label it.

Yes, but if you don't like your IRA for some reason, you can also just transfer it to a different IRA. Some IRAs do invest your money into the stock market, so they can have high interest rates (and risk). All IRAs have the advantage of being fully under your own control, unlike 401k's which are substantially controlled by your employer.

Note that you can only do one "rollover" per year, but transfers are unlimited. Whenever you move money between any of these pre-tax accounts, try to make sure it will be a "transfer", not a rollover.

You can transfer it to an pre-tax IRA with no penalty. I found an IRA at a credit union that is NCUA insured (similar to FDIC) which means it can't lose money. The interest rate is low, though.

A rifle

HODL! Diamond hands!

This is cult talk.

How can you tell if this one is? The text differences within and between panels 1 and 2 are indistinguishable (to my eyes) from JPEG artifacts.

Youtube spends a tiny fraction of its revenue on bandwidth. It gets way more than it needs from ads and premium subscriptions. Hardly any of that revenue goes to the content creators either.

The source loses my respect for calling it an "assault rifle" when it almost certainly was not. This summary (which I assume was written by MicroWave) calls it an "assault-style rifle", which has no meaning at all.

This is not an assault rifle, and not fully automatic. If it was, the gun's existence would have been almost certainly illegal.

Words have meaning. The meaning in this case is important. Use your words.
