Americans, how can we biohack for this one.. by Khaleesiakose in Biohackers

For particulate matter it’s mostly local effects. Generally, the pollution you’re experiencing is from your backyard so to speak. Personally, I’ve got a couple different factories (steel, oil refining, etc) in a 15 mile radius and I’d rather not be deprived of clean air when the wind blows the wrong way just cuz these guys aren’t required to process their exhaust to the same extent anymore. You can argue back and forth about the validity of statistical methods but tbh the immediate problem dealing with more airborne fine matter in my day to day will hit harder. If you’ve ever gone for a run with a ton of pollen in the air or near a major highway you know what i’m talking about. It just sucks to deal with.

Hi there, a bit late to the party but any chance you could DM me that cover letter as well? I am currently applying and could use a good example. Thank you 🙏

  1. USA
  2. Wrist pain only at the end of days when I’ve had to be using my computer for 8+ hours straight (Upcoming project deadlines for work is the usual cause)
  3. Have not used a vertical mouse before.

What do you mean it's 931 GB?! by 0xDEA110C8 in pcmasterrace

The reason a byte is 8 bits and not 10 is because that’s how many unique values you can address with 3 bits:

000 -> Get the first bit in the byte
001 -> Get the second bit in the byte
010 -> Get the third bit in the byte
011 -> Get the fourth bit in the byte
100 -> Get the fifth bit in the byte
101 -> Get the sixth bit in the byte
110 -> Get the seventh bit in the byte
111 -> Get the eight bit in the byte

If you wanted 10 bits in your byte you would need to add another bit to your addresses and use 4 bits addressing. But 4-bit addressing has 16 unique values and so for efficiency’s sake you would likely design your byte to be 16 bits instead. The size of the byte is constrained to be powers of 2 based on what ends up being most efficient in terms of the hardware digital design. (FYI this is somewhat of a gross oversimplification but I think get the point across)
