The SMS addition really ups the potential of the Dittofeed platform. Is SMS unsubscribe handles on the Twilio side or within the Dittofeed framework?

This is a very interesting point. It's like using Fourier Transforms/Laplace Transforms to do operations or comparisons that are way easier in those spaces.

The irony is that I had to help a client with a security audit because they wanted to provide Twitter with services that related to employee data. Judging from this article, Twitter would not have passed their own external service provider security audit.

> Our school is based on inclusion, and openly displaying Satanic symbols (on a public social media platform) that directly goes against the principles of the vast majority of families who represent the school, is not inclusive.

Religion is federally protected class. It seems like it would open up the district to a lawsuit if the employee were fired based on this.

I tried with several inputs, but kept getting the following output for every response:

No response - you likely hit the content filter. Try re-generating!

How much EM radiation bounces and how much it gets absorbed is highly variable depending on the material and, most importantly, the frequency of the EM radiation. A great example in this article is the faraday bag that was visibly transparent but blocked the EM radiation in the 1-6gHz range. The metal tin was basically the opposite, it blocked visible radiation very effectively but not radiation in the radio frequency range.

I recommend QP if you are going to do FPGA processing using a softcore or hardcore processor. It's an event-based state machine framework that handles IO really well. A hardcore processor would be more performant and take less LUTs but softcore will give you more flexibility as far as sourcing FPGAs.

These videos helped me immensely when I was getting my Electrical Engineering degree. I didn't realize going into the degree a bulk of the coursework would be focused around fourier/laplace transforms and linear algebra.

Thank you for linking this. It seems to be much more intuitive than awk, especially for his particular purpose. I wish I would have found this a few months ago when I was slicing and dicing lots of data for an extensive system migration project.

Amazing, I will definitely try this out. Thank you!

I don't believe so as it was a CSV export from Sequel Pro. I could be wrong, but the import worked fine using the same file truncated to the first few thousand rows.
