Seems like he has a problem with the final edit of the movie and not anything specific about GMO. This is a growing problem with documentaries where the filmmakers claim a certain angle to get people to participate but reveal a corporate angle in the edit.

This is his actual position (source: https://michaelpollan.com/articles-archive/vote-for-the-dinn... 2012)

> Americans have been eating genetically engineered food for 18 years, and as supporters of the technology are quick to point out, we don’t seem to be dropping like flies. But they miss the point. The fight over labeling G.M. food is not foremost about food safety or environmental harm, legitimate though these questions are. The fight is about the power of Big Food. Monsanto has become the symbol of everything people dislike about industrial agriculture: corporate control of the regulatory process; lack of transparency (for consumers) and lack of choice (for farmers); an intensifying rain of pesticides on ever-expanding monocultures; and the monopolization of seeds, which is to say, of the genetic resources on which all of humanity depends.

Largely he's been proven correct as GMO crops from Monsanto have has negative biological, legal and financial consequences on neighboring crops and water supplies. https://cases.open.ubc.ca/monsanto-and-terminator-seeds/#:~:... GMO crops from other sources don't have the same problems.

I have had pretty good luck with Realtek's 2.5gb chipset (PCIe card and USB 3 dongle) in TrueNAS, PopOS and Arch. I think the driver situation is pretty stable now.

I have had an Intel V225 fail on me but the V226 replacement has been working.

I think a lot of people point to parenting but don't lay it out as well as you did here. On the subject of God, Church used to be a place where kids practiced reading. Now it's just some VC backed dude talking at people about personal and political grievances for half the day. Reading/literacy tutoring is also now some VC backed business that becomes more expensive every year.

I've also had an Uber driver talking about butchering various farm animals. I vastly prefer Waymo because it's a much calmer experience.

Or even just HEV and PHEVs with slightly larger battery packs.

It seems like the 90-series cards are going to be targeting prosumers again. People who play games but may use their desktop for work as well. Some people are doing AI training on some multiple of 3090/4090 today but historically the Titan cards that preceded the 90s cards were used by game developers, video editors and other content developers. I think NVIDIA is going to try to move the AI folks onto Digits and return the 90-series back to its roots but also add in some GenAI workloads.

From a tech perspective I think it's interesting how social media is going to affect this case. The jury problem is absolutely a function of bottom-up memefication versus old tech centralized broadcasting with a bunch of other factors sprinkled in.

From several doctors and elderly people I talk to, UHC absolutely will deny payment for Medigap. They take advantage of gaps in state systems delays in reporting or will outright fake not receiving evidence of Medicare approval.

China has been skirmishing with India pretty recently

Sort of. Malicious browser extensions could look at history and look at local storage before the key is deleted.

lol

That's a great point. Definitely a human factors improvement that should be implemented.

Cortana has an API that can be addressed by any application, it just sucks.

When I did it, because they fucked up, I had to pay to retest as well which cost an additional $8. I was referencing my own personal experience and that it cost more in actuality.

Having had business dealing with RPi Foundation in the past, this doesn't surprise me in the least. The way they talked about underserved communities was disgusting.

It cost slightly more for me in CA. And even then I got caught up in the whole DMV documentation snafu even though I brought a dozen identifying documents, so I had to get my REAL ID 3 times over, each at my own expense.

Isn't this what Cortana is supposed to do in Windows?

Everyone is desperate for an EV truck. Dealers are marking these first batches up way too much for a public beta test.

There was and still is a lot of speculation about why exactly he left.

Also seconding! I've worked for a diverse spread of founders (some good, some bad) but Tracy stands out as truly exceptional.

My work week is also 40 hours 99% of the time, including the community volunteering my work encourages me to do. I've never missed a milestone because they aren't crazy short and I'm allowed to push back during planning if they are. I think more companies should be like mine. Somehow I still got a 1.4/6 on this survey and my risk "HIGH"
