There is something odd with the stats. If we look at individual age groups listed, the cases for unvaccinated is multiple x higher than fully vaccinated. Then if one looks back at "all ages", the cases per 100,000 people are almost the same. Is there a bug with the charts?
This is heartbreaking. But I can imagine a scenario where a grieving billionaire pays a team to continuously generate new VR interactions, even "growing" the child to adulthood over the years.
Thanks for the tip. I have been sourcing for alternatives to ExpressVPN for China. Last year was pretty ok but on a recent trip, it had difficulty connecting 70% of the time and failed in multiple cities inland and on the coast. Seems like I need to setup my own now.
I do this to my kids. I don't know if it helps. (The older one is 9 who eats almost everything and a younger picky eater who is 5.) Getting them to try a wider variety of food is often tough since it is easy to fall back on the usual stuff. Occasionally I have new types of food, I would make a small bitesize and use all the powers I have for them to take the first mouth. If they swallow it without tasting, they get a second mouth of it. They have to describe the taste to me precisely in simple terms, e.g sweet, chunky, sour, like apples etc. Often when they have a conscious bias, e.g. the younger one dislikes anything that resembles white creamy sauce, they will say it is "yucky". Yucky is not a taste descriptor. I sometimes add things they like e.g. bits of chocolate. My goal is to encourage them to focus on the taste and make connections like "this ugly piece of food will taste like chocolate since there is chocolate. Btw it is actually sweet as well". Basically, I am trying to address a unconscious bias in their imagination of the taste. It also helps to understand better what they really like and what is totally unacceptable. For example, taste-wise, tomatoes are off limits to my older one ... for now because you never know when it changes. :) Hope this gives you some ideas.
Has anyone thought about the effects of NOT having google search product and services in China? I read a lot of negativity about how it is ruining the culture and personal beliefs about freedom. Has anyone balanced it with what is the upside to users (not money for Google)?
Don't get me wrong. I am sure it is a massively popular book.
But I have not found stats that break down the "150 million over 60 years". It was published on 1954 + 60 years = 2014. The movies are made in 2001. So what is the % of sales for 48 years versus the 14 years after 2001? I am not sure really.
I get what you mean. Wheel of Time has its slow moments. But then the whole series had a really odd pace. The last 3 books after RJ passed away was too fast and too sudden.
I am pretty sure Tolkien books were way less popular before the movies were made. I often see them gathering dust in the library. I will be honest. For someone used to reading fantasy novels from Robert Jordan, Raymond Feist, Anne McCaffrey etc, I find the pace of the books excruciatingly slow. The details are great and the imagination is impressive but it is painful to read... (apologies to LOTR fans)
It is definitely a "cleaned" city. The level of cleanliness has gone now and litter has increased. Public awareness of this has gone down. If you know Singapore, there has always been a history of govt-led campaigns.
15 years ago, it wasn't like that. People bring their own tupperware to do take aways. All the cutlery were washed and cleaned. This meant more time and energy from the hawkers. In the name of efficiency, low cost, disposable plastic/styrofoam/chopsticks is a convenient solution, unfortunately.
what synthesis settings have you found have the most impact?
The answer is - it depends. Unfortunately, we have not found a "golden" combination of settings yet. If you have a highly congested design, synthesis does help a lot, but not all cases. There are correlations between the settings, so if A is good, B is good, A+B could be bad. Seeds belong to a category of techniques that we classify as random. For example, for Vivado, although Xilinx removed the seeds feature, we created a technique to trigger randomness in the placement using a property of Vivado.
What we do is not new in the sense that settings exploration has always been around. But with cloud compute resources and ML approaches, it really enables timing closure and optimization methods in a cheaper and more disciplined fashion.
We are also very interested in users of OpenCL/HLS/C. The translated RTL is often not as optimized/readable as what an RTL designer will do if he/she does it directly in RTL. Our tool (InTime) can be a good boost to the performance of such RTL.
I am the co-founder of Plunify. We have an ML software solution (InTime) that optimizes FPGA design by tuning the parameters of the compilation, i.e. synthesis, P&R. I don't know much about memcached accelerators but if it is a performance driven application, like HFT, I believe we can make it go even faster, i.e. increase the FMax. I read from your website that you are using Intel PSG devices. We often see designers using seeds to close timing or optimize the timing, but that is leaving performance on the table.

Happy to talk more at [email protected] if you are interested. Congrats on getting a seed round from Intel Capital!
I used cloth diapers for my 2 kids. You save a lot of money, especially when they are less than 1 year old because it happens so frequently but it is just urine and liquid poop. Rinse and soak them in a pail of water with detergent for a few hours. It will be stain free. Wash in washing machine afterward once you accumulate enough pieces. Forget about ironing and boiling water. It is unnecessary. Since they are pretty thin, they dry quickly too. Reuse!
