A human could probably see it as an obstacle and try to swerve to the side, albeit not knowing what it is.

Attempting to swerve aside at that speed results in over correction, followed by loss of control and then a rollover crash. Happens all the time to people who aren't aware / don't remember that you're supposed to hit deer head on.

Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

Which is pretty damn sad and proves what every US President since Clinton said regarding Europe's staggeringly myopic lack of military funding.

Yawn. Got anything to add to the conversation aside from ad hominem?

Russia is teetering on the brink of it right now.

That's what THIS fight is about. Qualcomm bought Nuvia and in a nutshell they believe that they acquired Nuvia's ARM license with that purchase, now they're starting to sell chip designs that were done by Nuvia using their ARM license. ARM disagrees that Nuvia's license transferred to Qualcomm and so here we are.

The reason ARM is freaking out about this is because ARM sells functional designs and that's what Qualcomm is starting to do with what they bought from Nuvia. Historically ARM has sold designs and Qualcomm sold chips but now ARM wants to start selling chips and Qualcomm wants to start selling designs.

ARM may still be the good guy but they are not what / who they used to be. Softbank, the Japanese owner of ARM, has been losing its ass on tech investments and they want $$$. This is why ARM did their IPO last fall.

Both ARM and Qualcomm now have the same fiscal pressures so they're going to start acting in a similar fashion.

Eh, nobody is going to get banned (at least not from my instance) as long as it stays inbounds.

There are well understood reasons why sexual abusers cluster into certain jobs, such as priests, but they are commonly found all over the world in every social, political, and economic class. The truth is that for for every Jerry Sandusky or Vince McMahon you hear about there's 100, or even 1000, non-famous people that you don't hear about.

God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.

The argument can be made that since God created humanity in their image that we're all just fledgling gods with the big difference being our lack of immortality. We're just not long lived enough as individuals to reach God's level of power and insight. We are who God created us to be, logic and science included so If we don't kill ourselves off we may eventually reach a collective godhood, or something akin to it, as a species.

I'm not saying I believe that argument, I'm just pointing out that it's there because it supports your point.

What is the deal with all these damn rapists.

The sexual abuse of children is vastly more common than many people want to believe. It happens all over the world and it isn't confined to any particular group or class.

You have to be extremely willfully ignorant to think the earth is only 4,000 years old.

The Bible itself makes it obvious that the 4,000 year old thing is a lie.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

So even if you’re working strictly from the bible, how the hell do you get 4000 years?

You can't. The "Young Earth" people are morons.

Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.

Most people don't know that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) can be and is used to denote wildly different lengths of time.

If anyone is interested you can read a fine destruction of the stupid "Young Earth" argument at the link I provided.

The "Young Earth" people, both Christian and Jew, are trying to shoe horn something into the Bible that doesn't fit and doesn't need to exist. It's nothing more than a desperate attempt to hold onto an old, wrong headed, and man-made theory.

 

The next step in my HA journey is adding cameras; indoor, outdoor, and doorbell so I've been exploring my options. I had originally intended to do a Frigate setup, I even have a Coral module and PC to do it with, but then I discovered Reolink.

Without having any experience with them they look nearly ideal. They seem to have tight integration with HA 2023.3 or later and their pricing and functionality look good.

They seem like a no brainer but I've noticed that they're often NOT the first recommendation in the HA Community. Why is that and why shouldn't I use them?
