Not possible.

The only reason anyone goes to a conference at all is for the party. Yeah there is some guy from somewhere taking about something, and sure we all pretend to be interested, but that is just because we know there are eyes on us and we have to go through the formality of the conference for the IRS to allow this as T&E.
But all we are all doing is waiting for it onto end so we can spend $400 on sushi and sake and then 10 times that on drinks, because we need to unwind from the pressure of the conference and also lubricants the gears of networking so we can locate a saleswoman from Nebraska so we can chat her up because we are trying to finish up our 50 State Collection and we havenâ(TM)t banged anyone from Nebraska yet and this conference is our chance because who the hell wants to suffer through an actual trip to Nebraska to meet a Nebraskan? And all the married people are of course cheering this whole thing on since they need to live vicariously and this is their only opportunity to do so since their spouses frown on this sort of behavior.

So unless Zoom is going to send me thousands of dollar in liqour and a truckload of new hires, both of which Iâ(TM)m open to, they arenâ(TM)t going to recreate the experience of any conference Iâ(TM)ve ever attended.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Oops. To continue: I'm just not seeing that it is so hard to access. But then, I use a Linux desktop, which has always come with a proper PDF renderer, there has never been a need to download "Acrobat".

Web pages use SVG to render vector graphics. It uses the exact same imaging model as PDF and is implemented in all modern browsers. The web in general has taken a lot of lessons from Adobe because Warnock and Geshke, in the PostScript Red Book, got so much right about how to build an image model that many GUI developers are still learning today. If you start with a PDF, it should be possible to machine-translate it to SVG and present it as a web page.

PDF exists because it is trivial to generate it from the document renderer meant for printing. Although I have once in a while run into an improperly scaled PDF meant to be printed 8-up, I'm just not

Lithium battery fires are in the news because they are new. There are many more gasoline fires every day.

Pistons? We don't need no stinking pistons! Next thing, they'll be adding a bridle and a bit!

Consider that it is evangelism. Saying "We did this, we're a big investment bank" implies "It's OK, and you should do it too". I've heard people refer to arguing a vendor to lower a price as "jew them down". Enough with that.

GFY The other day I fell asleep in a lounge chair. Lately I have been into exotic cocktails. Rum drinks or tiki drinks, for the unititiated.
