Yes because this is just a case, if you build a product in it and sell it then you need to meet EMC regulations (EC marking in europe).


Thats what trusted middle men are for, instead of gaining rep among infosec posers on twitter you build rep under your anonymous alias. This is nothing new.

Or just sell it to the israelis.

fpga's are not expensive when ordered in bulk, the volume prices you see on mouser are way higher than the going rates.


The actual cost of the part (within reason) doesn't matter all that much for a hyperscaler. The real cost is in the perf/watt, which an FPGA is around an order of magnitude worse for the same RTL.


No he wasn't.


Argentinia is in America, you know. Maybe not in North America or the US, but certainly in America.


> In common English usage, America is a short-form name for the United States of America.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_(disambiguation)


Since we're using English, Argentina is in South America. People in Argentina speak Spanish and would call themselves americanos or sudamericanos. But in actuality they call themselves argentinos because everyone on earth understands that American unambiguously refers to citizens of the USA.


Hello no! If we are speaking English, Argentinians are Americans and so am I, from Brazil. The only thing that is unambiguously an US thing is the concept of calling people from the Americas latinos. Even many Europeans find it stupid.


But when you introduce yourself, do you call yourself Brazilian or American? I think almost everyone would use their nationality, not their continent, to avoid confusion. In English, the two continents are just that: two continents; North and South America, not "America."

> The only thing that is unambiguously an US thing is the concept of calling people from the Americas latinos.

Latino is a term for people with Latin American heritage, meaning those with Spanish or Portuguese linguistic and cultural roots. You're fine with calling yourself American in English but not Latino?


> You're fine with calling yourself American in English but not Latino

Exactly! Latino is a thing created my the US to separate themselves from us. But we all have a very similar history, colonized countries, native Americans almost eradicated then assimilated, slavery, migration from Europe and Asia. The only difference is that the US got richer.

> In English, the two continents are just that: two continents; North and South America, not "America."

In Portuguese too so most of the times I refer to us as South Americans but we are as Americans as people from the US. This is all linguistics/sociology so if/when the pushback is big enough we might be able to eradicate this stupid "latino" concept (that is wrong because there are countries included that speak English, dutch, creole and other languages that are not latinas)


> Exactly! Latino is a thing created my the US to separate themselves from us. But we all have a very similar history, colonized countries, native Americans almost eradicated then assimilated, slavery, migration from Europe and Asia. The only difference is that the US got richer.

Maybe I'm off base here, but are you aware that most Hispanic people in the US proudly call themselves Latino? It's not a term that Americans use as a mark of separation, it's a cultural/identity thing. You can be Latino American and American American (like from the US), they're not mutually exclusive.

I might be missing your point though, are you saying that the US uses the term differently than the rest of Central and South America?


> I might be missing your point though, are you saying that the US uses the term differently than the rest of Central and South America?

At least the people from Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia don't use the term latino to identify (South) Americans. I guess it is more common from Colombia to Mexico.


> because everyone on earth understands that American unambiguously refers to citizens of the USA.

With the exception of the Oxford English Dictionary and several others, of course.


You're using a dictionary, its literal job is to show you every possible definition of a word — not the most common sense definition. Maybe try urban dictionary or even Wikipedia?


You claimed: " everyone on earth understands that American unambiguously refers to citizens of the USA "

This is false. As you have just acknowledged in your own comment.

The OED has multiple on record in major print publications examples of use of the word american in multiple contexts. One of those is specific to the United States of America which is the more common usage.

Not the only, and not always unambiguously so.


> As you have just acknowledged in your own comment.

I didn't acknowledge that. Instead you told me to check the dictionary which is not at all relevant to what I said. If somebody holding a dictionary came up to you and told you they're American, would you assume they meant they're from the US, or somewhere across two vast continents? Which is more likely? I think you know the answer even if you want to be pedantic about it.


ALGOL68 has much of the memorysafety that rust "invents" yet remains largely unmentioned in the discussion. There is a point to be had in terms of language design but rust has the community backing and momentum required, time will tell if ALGOL-FOR-LINUX will gather enough interest to pull this off.


After years in the making, ALGOL-for-Linux debuts, offering a fresh perspective on memory safety for the Linux kernel.


It's useless as a social media or to interact with but excellent when you're looking to reach out to John at Corpo Corp who you met somewhere.

It's stance on keeping it's own reimplementations of parts of systemd as a dependency sadly rules it out for me. It would be a great choice for a linux jail on freebsd.


Constantly having to remind them of rules from session 0, such as 'no alcohol before or during the game'

That sounds like the most boring DnD session ever, we get so high that any underlying condition is masked by having a damn good time. ;)


(I'm diagnosed.) You wouldn't wanna be around me playing D&D if I was high. No gaming would be done, only laughing and craziness. Besides, I had various psychotic episodes on marihuana (whilst mushrooms and various other drugs were OK). There's a good reason I don't consume marihuana anymore. Any drugs for tgat matter, but specifically I want to avoid a common one (here in Amsterdam Area).

Similarly, I'm aware some people cannot behave or function on other drugs such as alcohol (same for me). I wouldn't say others aren't allowed to drink but I don't want to smell cigarettes or cannabis. Smelling alcohol does nothing to me (obviously?)

So it boils down to constructing a social agreement based on consensus. Something which works for everyone. Which is more difficult the more people on the spectrum are there, and the less flexible other players are regarding their quirks.

So if the consensus is sober, be sober or don't join the team. Quite a simple concept. What happens here is that boundaries aren't respected (common with people on the spectrum). Explain the issue and (possible) consequences.


> we get so high that any underlying condition is masked by having a damn good time. ;)

I'm glad that works for you, but I've both tried playing D&D while high, and had some players who'd get high, and it was not particularly pleasant. In my experience, D&D requires more clarity of mind than marijuana tends to leave you with.

And I say this as someone who's going to start drinking less during D&D games, because I've noticed that after my third beer, my DMing is not as good as it is after my first beer.
