Last I checked max you can claim for purchasing home office equipment in Australia is $300. Although he claim the decline in value every year. Which would probably get you $300 again.

If he is running haveibeenpwned, he is probably purchasing through a company with instant asset write-off.


Could instant asset write-offs apply?


First one involves two groups of police sorrounding a group of protesters and tear gassing them. I don't how that can be considered a valid dispersal method (They could not disperse there were police on both sides) Also allegly firing Pepper balls above the waist which is incorrect usage. (There are marks on the walls well above head height)

If you made it practically impossable to disburse when using what are basically torture devices in that situation I don't see how it isn't brutality.


Uhhh. jwz.org checks the referer header for hacker news and redircts to a picture of some male gentailia in a egg cup, with some text of what jwz thinks of this site.

I'd advise linking to a archive.org version of the url.


Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, alrighty then........ can't edit or even delete now. Thanks for the heads-up....

(Mods, could you change it if you see this?!)


Low-volume networking hardware comes to mind. Where you need very-high performace routing, but aren't shipping enough units to make up the cost of using an ASIC.

The aren't many of the them so power usage isn't a bit cost, but their performance effects the performance of many other machines, where most of the power draw is.


You'd have to get follow up to see if Vitamin D has gone up after taking it.

I was Wrong on the internet (lots of food has vitamin D including Eggs and Mushrooms): Vitamin D supplements may not be absorbed as digestion isn't the normal process for obtaining it.


"Very few foods in nature contain vitamin D. The flesh of fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils are among the best sources [1,11]. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D in these foods is primarily in the form of vitamin D3 and its metabolite 25(OH)D3 [12]. Some mushrooms provide vitamin D2 in variable amounts [13,14]. Mushrooms with enhanced levels of vitamin D2 from being exposed to ultraviolet light under controlled conditions are also available."

Wouldn't a doctor simply test? I know when I was really low, the doctor scheduled me for a blood test after 3 months of prescription-dose vitamin D pills. We've also spot checked since then.


Yeah, when I got back for my next checkup, I definitely plan to ask my doctor to order the Vitamin D test again so we can see how it's changed over time.


Folding@Home is runnign GPU stuff on Windows without any configuration on my AMD RX 580. Although it's not using much of it. Presuably because OpenCL only runs of the Compute units which are relatively small part of the GPU.


No, all GPUs released in the last 10 years have a unified shader architecture. Vertex, fragment, and compute shaders all run on the same units, and they are the big part of the GPU.

"Compute units" is AMD terminology for a grouping of ALUs and stuff. Nvidia calls them "stream multiprocessors".

Example: Vega 64 has 64 CUs, each CU has 64 "shader processors", so there's 64*64 == 4096 "shader processors" total. This is the big part.


Yea I install the Asus GPU-Z and i was better and gave that it was using 90% of the whole GPU. Windows just doesn't know how to count GPU usage apperntly.


I had a couple hours earlier today of CPU. Currenlty running on 1 Compute node (out of 3) (OpenCL) on my GPU. Which Windows reports as 3% of the GPU. But it's 99% of the actual Compute module.


There's a special thing called "Epigenetics". The genes coded in DNA don't change. But how they're used can change.

There's methyl groups that attach to the DNA. These stop parts of the DNA being read.

There's Histones which wind up your DNA and control how much can be read.

These are used control which parts of DNA are used by which cells. Evey cell has the same Genome, but each cell needs a different program to function, so changing the Gene Expression you get a different kind of cell.


Trier made €0 notes with Karl Marx images on them to celebrate his 200th birthday... Which they sold for €3 each.

It's the zero-euro commemorative banknotes. Purely collectible items. I have a couple from France and Italy, and they were €1 each.

We got several, too. What I like about them is the really good quality, including watermark and other anti-counterfeiting features. It's a nice souvenir, relatively cheap and doesn't take up much space in your luggage.


Case in point. Google's ANGLE library has a in-progress Vulkan back-end. (Used for WebGL in Chrome and Firefox). ANGLE does only provide OpenGL ES, but then so does Android. I wouldn't be surprised if an upcoming android version required Vulkan suppport and Android shipped with ANGLE for OpenGL.
