No offense to the brilliant engineers out there, but after going through many migrations in my career, I believe that brilliant engineers are the last people you want anywhere close to the project.

Also, you should budget 25-50% of your project time and effort on getting the legacy system "ready" for a migration.

Excellent comment, thank you :)

What would really make me excited would be if Pi4 could eliminate the RTL-SDR altogether by doing the DSP via ARM Neon instructions.

Is it even close to being powerful enough?

> Yes, based on literally thousands of hours of video footage.

Well that's fantastic! Probabilities can be established for all sorts of in-game occurrences and the probability of this dude's game being legit or not.

Not only that, but the gamer ability can then be separated from the randomness of the game on any particular play! Are all the high scores the result of aberrations in the game, or because the player is just that great???

Is there any reason to believe that cheating is something that started recently? Is there any reason to believe that the ROM loaded on every single original Donkey Kong cabinet is exactly the same? Is there any reason to believe that the components on every single original Donkey Kong cabinet perform the same?

If you look at the sports world you have, more or less, the acceptance that cheating happens, the components change, training regimens change, etc. Professional baseball has comprehensive statistics dating back to the 1860s and the result is that people have divided the sport into eras, and when you compare players in different eras you don't look at the stats alone, you compare how they performed relative to their peers, etc.

A "high score" list that ignores the reality of change is worthless.

I don't agree with the downvotes: it's a concept that should get more discussion, in the sense of "where should the line be drawn between common carrier behavior and publisher behavior?"

Agree, it's the top story on my news feed here in the midwest.

It's probably going to get somewhat diminished coverage, as by Monday it's highly likely that there will be 4 named storms in the Atlantic, with a large hurricane forecast to hit Bermuda and another bearing down on Texas or Lousiana by the end of the week.

We've got an expensive infrared medical thermometer (purchased long before Covid) and it appears to be quite accurate for everyone in our family except me. According to it, I am pretty reliably dead.

In a typical year, the police and fire helicopters spend more time doing search and rescue on the lake [0] and aerial coordination at actual fires than anything else. They're assets to the city.

[0] Chicago has just about the same amount of coastline as SF - from Mussel Rock Park all the way around to Brisbane is almost exactly the same distance as the Indiana state line to Evanston.

This article is about business vans, not consumer cars. The needs and economics are vastly different.

Do a quick search for 'van upfitter' and see. That's the market they are aiming for. What Tesla offers is completely orthogonal. Given the way that Tesla treats 3rd party repair shops, it's hard to believe that they could possibly make a serious offering in this space.

Ford sold a fully-electric Focus for about 8 years. They've sold multiple generations of plug-in hybrid vehicles, and codeveloped (and sold) a fully-electric delivery van about 10 years ago.

They know how to do it.

> Less talking and more building, please.

For GM and Ford, building the vehicle is the easy part. At this point, they all know how to build an electric vehicle.

They definitely need to do a lot more talking. They need to normalize the idea. They need the buyers to believe that it's better. These are commercial vehicles, they need to have a lower cost of operation. And buyers have to believe it. So keep talking (and also build them).
