That’s no hand.

>on a Zync FPGA so you got to choose which bits you did in hardware and what was in software.

You mean verilog vs block diagram, or did those boards have like a microcontroller too for more normal software?

The Zync platforms I'm familiar with have an Arm processor, so you can write baremetal programs or have it boot Linux from an SD card. You can integrate hardware (FPGA) and software by reading/writing to shared memory over AXI or similar protocol.

>Assume that every manufacturer out there is equally capable of creating a screen that faithfully reproduces the content to the best ability of current technology.

That basically isn’t true. Or rather, there are real engineering tradeoffs required to make an actual consumer good that has to be manufactured and sold at some price. And, especially considering that TVs exist at different price points, there are going to be different tradeoffs made.

Yes, there are tradeoffs, but LCD, etc. technology is now sufficiently good that displays in the same general price category tend to look quite similar once calibrated. The differences are much more noticeable when they're using their default "gimmick" settings, and that's by design.

And the comment you’re replying to suggests that since many lived experiences are plausibly heritable, the term is appropriate. In any case, the context in which it is actually used in the article seems beyond all but the most pedantic reproach:

>The first is how a father’s body physically encodes lived experience, such as stress, diet, exercise or nicotine use

And that’s a single sentence partway through the article. From the beginning, the refrain is the list of the sorts of things that seem to have heritable effect, not the phrase “lived experiences”.

>Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children

>Within a sperm’s minuscule head are stowaway molecules, which enter the egg and convey information about the father’s fitness, such as diet, exercise habits and stress levels, to his offspring

Etc. The article is clearly not attempting to suggest that all experiences are heritable.

Public good? That sounds ripe for disruption. Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!?

>The dollar valued against itself a year earlier, and a year in the future. That is the interest rate or yield of the asset if held. It should go up, but right now it goes down.

You’re saying there should be deflation?

It depends. Positive real interest rates do not necessarily mean deflation, and deflation isn't necessarily a bad thing.

As an example, you could give a loan for $1 to someone for 5% interest. In a year they pay you back, so now you have $1.05. That dollar could get you exactly the same amount (of real goods or services that you personally want) as last year, or it could get you more, or it could get you less. Inflation and deflation typically refer to the price of a basket of intrinsically valuable goods and services. That is separate from the interest rate which is just what you, the creditor, and the debtor shake hands over. If the dollar gets you the same basket as last year, then you are net better off because now you can buy the basket and you have $0.05 for lending to someone who was able to pay you back.

The missing variable here is the productivity of the rest of the economy, if the economy is growing, then you can see a decrease in dollars per basket (deflation), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The interest rate is sort of like a best guess for the productivity of the debtor.

So you’re saying that the politicians were just following orders?

>your computer will scream at you in bright red text it's hot outside. You'll even receive emergency messages on your phone, tv and radio from the government when it reaches triple-digits

That weather kills people.

>Cutting programs it finds disagreeable is certainly this admin's right

Only if those programs aren’t legislatively established or mandated.
