If you call people stating facts and accurately describing the trade deal "tinfoil hat conspiracies" then you are arguing in bad faith and should stop. Even if you believe such a ridiculous thing the cheap insults and incendiary language doesn't help your cause.

You need to understand these deals as they are -- negotiated primarily by large corporate representatives, used as a back door to slam through legislation that would never pass domestic muster in its respective countries as a single up-or-down omnibus deal that legislators cannot reject. No conspiracy at all, rather, business as usual.
None whatsoever in my opinion.

The people who dislike them seem to really enjoy slamming their keys down all the way; they say O-rings makes the keyboard "mushy."

I'm not going to say anybody's using their keyboard incorrectly; it's all personal preference. But imho they're missing the entire intended purpose of mech keyboards; they offer tactile/aural feedback when the key activates so you don't have to slam the damn key all the way down.

Again, if anybody disagrees, you're not wrong... type however you like. :)

> How come no keyboards seem to ship with them by default?

Good question. I know some manufacturers like WASD let you order them preinstalled as an option.

Answer is probably because it wouldn't be profitable. They're pretty time-consuming to put on, honestly. I've done it to two keyboards and it took me a half hour or so. No big deal really, I just did it while I was watching TV or something.
Simple stage magic was used by psychics to deceive professional scientists under experimental conditions at Stanford for years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapsychology_research_at_SRI

It is unreasonable to assume that someone who is not an expert in stage magic can detect/defeat basic deception techniques. I don't know about this particular case but I see no reason to rule out deception, anyone can be fooled especially if they are specifically targeted.
Shouldn't Twillio, digital ocean and one small bespoke node app be able to do it?
Driverless cars at least half a decade if not a decade away from widespread adoption in cities. Who's to say they'll last that long? What does "state of the art engineering infrastructure" give users? I don't recall Lyft's app ever failing on me.
That's an easy one, just have to restate it differently and it works: (not dead) == alive. So, is there any evidence that you are alive? Well, yes, there is.

Unfortunately, proving that you are "not (not Satoshi)", doesn't prove that you are. The negative space is not one to one, but one to many.

>Plus like all salary people he had no risk.

A wholly unsubstantiated claim; particularly egregious when discussing someone being paid by a bank, which have a long history of catastrophic failures. The salary person's risk is, at least, that the bank's money is no good (or won't be not long after received).
5 Signs Your Child Has What It Takes to Be a Tech Entrepreneur
Without the cash-issuing, the ATM is nothing but a remote terminal connected to a computer. (Or, arguably, even with).

He's saying that he invented terminals, essentially. Look, he's holding up a punched card; he invented that too, I suppose. Jacquard, who was that? Just a silk-weaving loom boy.
Ah, I think I understand what you're saying now. I think where we're parting ways is that when I say "evidence" I mean unambiguous evidence. There's definitely evidence that people aren't p-zombies, like your example (other people react to certain things the same way I do and it's reasonable to assume those reactions are accompanied by similar experience). There's just not unequivocal evidence. Have I understood your view correctly?
It's recruiting. When there is high competition for desirable candidates, one way to make sure they accept a full time offer with your company instead of a competitor is to pay them $30k + extravagant lunches for a summer of often worthless work product. And if it becomes a trend industry-wide to have these internships and extend full-time offers to interns, then it becomes hard not to play along, because then your pool of recruits at graduation will consist mostly of people who didn't get a full-time offer through an internship, plus a handful of people looking to "trade up."

Can't happen fast enough. For the last two years in a row I try Rust every 6 months to see if it's at a place that I would consider using it. I hit the 3 problems described here every time I try it. You can work around all of them by restructuring your code it's just so tedious. I rather be doing something else versus working around this.

The community hasn't really been helpful, the answer is always restructure how write things. I'm writing a column store query engine (with table blocks accessing them by columns) that leads to a lot of borrowing so the advice is not all that helpful. I want to like Rust, but I can't.
Many have pointed out that it's a recruiting effort, which it is.

But it's also an easy way to get rid of people who don't work out. If it's clear an intern is not performing well or not cut out, it's easier to weed them out as an intern at the end of the summer, than firing them later on.
Well, because, frankly speaking, they're trying to pull off a very different power structure without getting buy-in from everyone involved.

Green U.S. money? At least, at the end of the election cycle, I can cast a vote for someone who will appoint a Fed chair I like. There's some tenuous link from the decision-makers back to me, an American voter.

The bitcoin people? They just said "here it is, oh and also we call all the shots, kthxbye". What if there's some feature of the new power structure I don't like? Where can I seek redress? Ask a bitcoin advocate, and what you get is crickets.

A new power structure should be more inclusive of people's voices, not less.

So, in this case, I welcome the failure.

No, what he's saying is "your metrics are measuring the wrong things and so it does not matter what numbers pop out of them; they are completely meaningless when it comes to answering the question which is actually important".

This hasn't been my personal experience; I don't find they really compress much.

Reminder that organized crime uses the same techniques as 'non-criminal' investigators.

Cartels have billions in funds to purchase hardware and labor. They've put this to work to implement their own network. They also have incentives to harm and exploit normal everyday people.

Hell, if the small fries who attend Defcon can exploit telecommunication networks from the source, it doesn't even take a giant pile of money to make a large amounts of people's lives very difficult.

By "legally work" do you mean "pay taxes"? Because AFAIK European people can legally work in UK and live or pay taxes in their origin countries (France, Germany, Spain, etc)

I'm not contesting that; I'm just pointing out a separate reason it wouldn't work.
The replaced the U-238 in the Tsar Bomba test with lead when they tested it at the cost of halving its power, you're right. But sadly I've never heard of that being done with a deployed thermonuclear weapon.
Could similar results be achieved with (x)wayland by spawning a separate X server for each application?
IIUC xwayland spawns an X server on demand, but just one (so X applications can spy on each-other while wayland apps
cannot, and X cannot spy on wayland apps).

The F-35 is becoming the definitive example of how scope creep destroys a project

Or an example of how we don't learn from history, for the same exact thing happened with the '60s TFX, except the F-35 substitutes S/VTOL for air superiority. 5 models of it were planned, two for the Navy, all but what ended up as the F-111 were canceled, and we resumed building focused planes like the F-14 through F-16, and the A-10 I think. Read the relevant section in Possony, Pournelle, and
Kane's classic The Strategy of Technology https://www.jerrypournelle.com/slowchange/Strat.html for lots more details.

ADDED: And I've now recalled that there was stiff criticism of the F-111 as it starting flying and was fielded in the hot war of Vietnam. By and large the bugs were worked out, and e.g. surviving pilots were convinced that they should not turn off the terrain following radar and auto pilot system so they wouldn't follow their predecessors in immediately flying it into a hill. Which didn't happen with the following similar in that way B-1, come to think of it.

That I remember mostly from contemporaneous reports, the frequently poor prosecution of the Vietnam war was a big issue in the heartland.
While I admire your "blind hiring," I've become increasingly aware that when it comes to team dynamics, EQ matters as much as IQ and social skills/empathy matter as much as ability... (Perhaps that accounts for your $500 "first day.") Has this method been working for you?

That's still an algorithm, you just have humans executing it (and introducing some entropy in the process). Cue Minsky empty-room koan.

This is normal in the defense industry. You must be very careful when you upgrade hardware, because it should be proven that the upgrade provides at least the capability of the previous system (regression testing) plus whatever new/improved functionality you plan. Changing hardware on the timescale of consumer electronics is simply not viable, or necessary.

In other words, my response to your statement that the avionics of a fighter jet are "computationally outclassed by a $100 smartphone today" is, "So what?" You buy and test the hardware that you believe is necessary to accomplish the given mission, not the latest-and-greatest for the sake of being the latest-and-greatest.

We aren't putting letters into bottles and throwing them into the ocean, they could video conference with each other easily.

This is all a facade from people who think everyone is dumb enough to believe them. Its like a child being caught with chocolate all over their face saying they didn't steal a candy bar.
The author mentions that—and that the fact that carrier contracts are dying means that US consumers will become more price conscious. However, Apple's high margins mean that iPhones are more expensive because Apple wants them to be (and people will pay it). I don't expect iPhone prices to ever be as low as Android prices, but if Apple needs to, they can drop their prices and still make money on their phones. They just don't want to (because they like making money), and it's yet not clear that they have to.

PyFmt
Those are all really good points – I wasn't necessarily focused on IRV – but, rather, the idea that there are many better options than the current single choice system that would allow people to more freely express their preferences without fear that they'd be "throwing their vote away" or "letting someone else win" by voting they way they really wanted to.

Thanks for the pointer to score-voting – I think I probably agree with your take on its superiority.
