What's horrifying is people thinking like that. We live in societies with rules, with laws that we have agreed upon, and are, for the most part, fair. These same laws and this same governement protects you, gives you at least some basic services. And you're advocating for not holding up your end of the bargain, and removing one big part of the punishment for not holding it up.

To people advocating that, then I can only hope that since your money cannot be taken away, then more of your freedom will. For the good of all of us.

Yup, that's the other classic mistake, committing to a design based on theoretical rather than practical merits.

It's a tempting way to do things, it's very difficult and expensive to spin up and maintain dual development and production pipelines in parallel. But more often than not that's often the best way to go about things. Sometimes you make missteps that seemed sensible at the time. Sometimes you torpedo your whole business because you take too far a step back and you can't even survive long enough to let the new thing mature. Look at Intel, they've had multiple missteps that did tremendous damage to their business. They jumped on the netburst architecture bandwagon and that turned out to be a dead end. The Core architecture basically grew out of their Pentium Mobile work.
Simply put: Out compilers and interpreters force us humans to think more like the underlying machines, rather than vice-versa. It is ass-backwards. We should absolutely demand that our tools help the computers under what we want and not the other way around.
I wouldn't measure one thing. I'd measure a whole heap of different metrics, do some sort of (possibly nonlinear) mapping so bigger numbers indicate (intuitively) better performance, then take deciles. I'd measure performance by how high each developers' worst metric is. I.e. look for consistency across all metrics and ignore high performance in a small number of areas (to make it harder to game). Also, it might be worth training a model to predict that performance metric from other unstructured data -- again to make it harder to explicitly game the system.
> For example? I'm not here to post up your argument.

Easy as looking at the other V programs. Fritz Gosslau was the designer of the V1 - not a Nazi. August Coenders was the chief designer of the V3 - also not a Nazi. Robert Lusser worked on engines - not a Nazi (ended up at NASA). Hans von Ohain, designer of the jet engine and worked on the ME232 - not a Nazi. Walter Thiel was the head of the research lab at Peenemünde - not a nazi. Klaus Riedel worked on the rocket with Von Braun - not a Nazi.

All of Von Braun's deputies also weren't Nazi's (at least in the research part, I think it is fair to say that his subordinates in the SS were Nazi's).

It would actually be easier to list those of the Wehrmacht and in science / industry who were Nazi's (or were sympathetic to them) - since most certainly were not. Most famously that would be Albert Spier, the Krupp family, Erich Schumann of the nuclear program, Göring, etc.

Most of the military high command weren't Nazi's (or technically, sympathetic to the Nazi's since it was illegal to be both in the military and a member of a political party). They despised Hitler, as they despised Bizmark before him - because the German military had always been famously independent of civilian leadership and its own organization. Hitler taking the reigns of military strategy was the antithesis of how these guys had been bought up and trained.

> Tell me your criticism of Mr. Schindler.

He was a Nazi, until he changed sides. He assisted the takeover of the Sudetenland with his spying.

Schindler regretted his actions and worked against the Nazi's. Von Braun never did that - he just tried to minimize his role. Plus even Schindler never joined the SS.

Transporting any kind of energy across long distances is tied to losses. LNG tankers will lose a few percent per voyage (~3-5 %), which is better than an electrical transmission line on the same distance, however it is still LNG and not yet electricity. You then have to factor in the conversion losses at a gas fired electrical plant.

The plant, the ship, the terminal and the rest of the infrastructure aren't free either.

The good thing about LNG is that it can be converted into electricity, the reverse is rather harder :)

Nobody is trying to run submarine cables across such distances because there is absolutely no reason to do so, all you'd do is hook up nearby power grids using much shorter runs of cable.

So nobody in Romania or Greece is consuming power generated in Norway or Sweden directly but the effect of adding renewable power to the grid in say Norway will usually offset a little bit of fossil fuel generated power elsewhere in the grid.

Electrons are very friendly in that sense. They also don't explode.

> Modern nuclear bombs are ~20Mt, with the biggest at 100Mt.

You don't have to care to pick up free money off the ground. Wage-fixing didn't involve any downside or tradeoff until they got caught.

If they cared about cheap, they'd be willing to take on tradeoffs like communication overhead with satellite offices in low COL areas, potentially increased risk of a bad hire by making the interview pass rates higher, etc.

Even if you want a particular engineer very badly and money is no object, you're going to offer just enough to beat his next best offer. You're not going to 10x it. That would be waste.

Back in 2013 when I finally made the full switch away from cigarettes and into vaping, one of the main benefits was my increase on water consumption. Vaping is naturally dehydrating (the propylene glycol in the liquid). Drinking about 2.5L or so per day really cut down on what I felt was a need to eat several times per day, like @pitaj said.

Fasting is also fantastic. Its one of the few positive habits I have left over from my days in religion. The garbage collection analogy is an excellent way to describe it.

Yes. Since Futhark does not perform full flattening, replication is limited to how much parallelism is exploited, not how much parallelism is available.

I agree, they need to make money somehow and I actually don't have any issue with the way Sega is doing it (ads if you don't want to pay money, or 2€ if you don't want to pay with ads).

What I object to is mainly assimilating not paying money and being free : it's not free if there are ads, you're paying with time, mind share (because there would not be that much money in ads if it was not at least a little bit effective) and potentially security (as ads are a known malware vector)

That's why I insist that free as in no money is a very restricted definition of free, and should not be considered equal to simply free, because it then undermines products that actually are free

I'm not sure that your claim about where the line is holds up: the GPLv2 never requires you to give your source to anyone unless you first give them binaries. That's why web sites don't have to give out their sources to everyone who visits their site if they use a GPL library for instance.

In any case, if what you say is correct, the grsecurity team are still trying to hold the threat of a more annoying experience over their users in order up prevent them from exercising their rights under the GPLv2.

The deployment from the dispenser just puts the satellites in the same orbit with a little bit of offset between them, enough for comfort. The satellites then raise their orbits just a hair using their own propulsion and then use phasing to adjust their positioning so that they are equidistant along the orbit. That part takes a long time (hours) but it doesn't require a lot of propulsive capabilities so the satellites do it themselves.

So the real problem is that the system is not divided in small and independent chunks of code. Or, we didn't hire an achitect. Or, we just fixed all the small things without any consideration of how they affect the whole system. Somethimes a small change is just that, a small change. Often times a small change requires you to rethink the architecture of the application. Excep you don't receive the time needed because "it's just a small change".

>Well, the choice was basically,
> * Become a member of the Nazi Party

That's not true. No more than 10% of the German populace were Nazi party members at any given time. In fact, it was illegal for soldiers to join political parties until after the war started, and even when they were allowed to join most of them didn't.

Of course joining the party is always your ticket to wealth and power in a totalitarian system, so it's not surprising an administrator like von Braun would be a party member even if he was completely disinterested in the party ideology. It's also not surprising he joined the SS when pressured directly by Himmler to do so. Himmler wasn't the kind of guy you said "no" to.

To all accounts he supported the party in the '30s because the Nazis were promising to reverse the injustices of the Treaty of Versailles. And he probably soured on the party by the time he was arrested and accused of sabotaging the program he was running (for which he could have been shot).

Clearly he knew what was going in in Mittelwerk. How much culpability you assign is an open question.

And it's not surprising he didn't off himself or hide after the war. He had something very valuable to offer whomever took him in, so that's not very dispositive as evidence of innocence.
also,
other countries have completely switched over to chip/pin for security reasons with little or no problems but due to not wanting to confuse US tourists the terminal software must allow pin-bypass so they can still sign instead of using a pin.

Jobs that would pay someone like me $120k don't exist "almost everywhere in the country." They exist here, and in drastically smaller numbers in a few real estate markets with similar characteristics: New York, Seattle, maybe LA or Boston. Some of these have cheaper prices today, but also steep growth curves. I think they'll all be pretty similar in 10 years.

You're making my argument for me: $120k is "you can't afford to live there" territory, i.e. barely if even middle class, for the vast majority of software engineering jobs that would pay it to junior engineers.

Therefore it's reasonable to think middle-aged engineers would not take it, and that it would be a waste of time to interview them if that's your salary ceiling.

Of course $120k is great money and $640k is a great house in some places. These are not the same places where junior engineer salary ~ senior engineer salary ~ anywhere near $120k. They would pay more like $60k to the junior and $80k to the senior.
