Not all i2c devices can be read that way. There are several devices that require an address (on top of the device address) to be written before data can be read, but without a second stop bit after writing the address. You end up with like double start condition. These require either using the smbus stuff or I2C_RDWR ioctl.

So far Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex is still my favourite cyberpunk TV series. I really want something to dethrone it. If HBO gives Snowcrash the Westworld treatment then I am hopeful but I'm still uncertain.

So I should ask for a raise AND find someone to marry me who makes $250K a year.

This post seems to blame the administrators for picking a product based on checklist. The problem is if the administrator is concerned about his end user, he would consult his end users who will end up giving him a checklist of features which would still be a problem. This missing piece is discussions on user experience, which for enterprise software, would need to be done on a case by case basis.

It's going to be difficult to keep the sensor completely clean for the next person to use.

I switched my mom's flip phone to a smartphone and just call home with whatsapp. I was worried about the transition but she was the one asking for it since all my aunts and uncles are on whatsapp as well. All the international calling with calling cards and whatnot have all gone.

Saskatchewan has a government run telco called Saskatel, that's why you're inlaws have decent service. Every where else in Canada has worse service than Comcast.

I didn't think you could short immediately after IPO.

How old is this post? I thought it was established in the Last Jedi (spoiler ahead) that she was just a random person who was abandoned by parents who were nobody special.

So I'm trying to look into IWG (which the article claims is WeWork's primary rival) since it looks like they'll have less competition in a year or two. It looks like they're traded in the London Stock Exchange. Google seems to claim that they're owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy but I can't find any evidence for that.

Yup. Everyone remembers what happened with the whole IRS/Teaparty thing.

The purpose of an IPO is to raise money to do something. It doesn't make any sense to sell part of your company to a random set of people, just to pay them back over time. That's like me getting a mortgage for my house and after 30 years I pay back the mortgage and the bank still gets to own my house.
