what was WAP again? Rings a bell

I feel like we're aggressively agreeing with each other, but I still hold issue with labeling a rational viewpoint to mitigate a crisis in an orderly and timely fashion as radical

You don't see the problem in framing the first part of your comment as "radical", even though you yourself admit that it's a pretty mild and rational viewpoint?

That's free-market naïveté . No one has the time to be an expert in every field to always make the informed choice.

Do you read the labels on tangerines to check which antibiotics were used against citrus-greening? Do you even know if that's something you should be worrying about? Is Anti-Microbial Resistance something to legitimately be afraid of when buying tangerines?

(I leave this as an exercise for the so-called informed reader....)

plus they had lots of kids back then, so you just follow the trail furthest away from the gravestones

Mourn for this man, not for his choices but for his lack of them; a store selling expired milk should be put out of business by the authorities, not by a mob of post-poisoned shoppers.

"radical left", what kind of framing is this

That's Gordon Freeman

Dr Stone vibes, without the caveman weirdness -- I like it

I guess whilst they're in the consumer-friendly phase of their business growth cycle, I'm rooting for them, I just wonder about the future once they've cornered the market

plus better games

This is reading, not writing

Ah I see thanks

Ben Eater has a great video on it.

I'm not watching a video, but appreciate the pointing in the right direction

USB sends a dummy zero every few consecutive 1s for framing purposes

Huh, TIL about Bit-Stuffing and Framing Bits

Bit stuffing is the insertion of non-information bits into data ... is used for various purposes, such as for bringing bit streams that do not necessarily have the same or rationally related bit rates up to a common rate

Framing is the process by which, while receiving a stream of fixed-length frames, the receiver identifies the frame boundaries, permitting the data bits within the frame to be extracted for decoding or retransmission. A common practice is to insert in a dedicated time slot within the frame, a noninformation framing bit that is used for synchronization of the incoming data with the receiver.
