Calling this an "equation" seems overly fatalistic, as if it were inevitable. I'm pessimistic about this as well, but there certainly are attempts to prevent nuclear weapons from spreading, and efforts to reduce the arsenals of countries that have them.

These attempts often don't work, but they do matter because sometimes they do.

My (admittedly extremely limited) experience is that this is a sound strategy _for established entrepreneurs_, not for tentative business owners who are just getting started.

My wife and I were thinking about opening a restaurant, and as has been illustrated elsewhere, the costs are staggering and the total profit (if anything) is rather low. We were looking at total revenue of around £200 000, with maybe a 5% profit margin. This did not take into account kinda-expected risks, like staff quitting, which would have sent costs through the roof. By contrast, a little later we talked to a guy who sets up pubs for a living (for a large chain). They have costs down to a minimum, can rotate staff easily, and essentially have a playbook for starting a reasonably succesful, risk-free business in a few months. On top of that, they have departments full of people whose job it is to drive around looking for succesful business to copy (paraphrasing the original quote). This was profoundly depressing to me, since it made me think that even if we'd overcome the odds, we'd probably end up getting cloned by one of these behemoths...

What crazier is I could (but WONT) whip up a pretty effective geneva convention style device. A blinder. It's one of the most horrific styles of weaponry - you don't even have the decency to kill them.

All you do is monitor motion via a webcam. Once you see motion, you turn on an array of high power IR lasers with lenses to make an arc of laser light. There's no blink response, and the damage is already done.

It would cost what, $500 total for the platform, including batteries for lengthy operation off grid.

To be honest, I'd rather build stuff that bolsters all of humanity, and not just 1 tribe other another. I wish we'd get out of that "us vs them" mindset. Maybe someday.

On the other hand a case for autonomy is you could potentially kill less people. Say the enemy have a bunch of tanks doing bad stuff, humans fighting them are probably going to blow them up killing the crews before they can get you. With AI you could maybe use smaller drone like things designed to disable the tanks without killing the crews. And if the crews kill the drones who cares - they are only drones, send some more. I quite like the idea of AI that could take out military hardware and perhaps injure a few fighters without killing anyone. Maybe like T2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEztkckjRtE

As stated elsewhere, getting yourself down to spending 37k a year is going to be the hardest part, no matter where you live.

The problem I see, time and time again as a bystander to the financial industry is that people simple aren't saving enough, or what they have saved is overspent at a rate that's unsustainable. If one needs to live off of 24k/80k/200k a year in retirement; then their investments should reflect that.

> Netflix however is awesome because it’s very UX focused.

Except for the thousands of A/B experiments that incessantly drive you to spend every ounce of attention on Netflix. E.g. the auto-playing preview that starts whenever you stop moving the active selection. It strongly encourages you to start playing the thing rather than being thoughtful about whether you actually want to or not. Personally I hate this - it drives my anxiety nuts - and I find HBO's tactics much less user-hostile (although agreed the ads for HBO's own content are outright stupid).

Cluster-bombing of mainly civilian targets (with some opposing forces using those civilians as a shield) is still actively used by both the US (in Raqqa) and Russia (in Aleppo).

I think you are mixing up some things. Tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) is certainly not depending on other methods of dating. It is based on the patterns of tree rings which is known for more than 10000 years back. For dating a find more confidently you can combine dendrochronology with other methods, but dendrochronological dating is not itself depending on other methods. The bible is certainly not involved, and I would love to see your source for this idea.

Your Wikipedia link does not say anything like what you are stating.
"You also realize that you don’t really need public financial help if you don’t get robbed to begin with. To create a SPRL/BVBA in Belgium, the capital must be fully subscribed at the time the company is incorporated, to the amount of €18,550 (of which €6,200 must actually be paid up in the account of the SPRL/BVBA). Also, the articles of association must be written before a notary. You need to be physically present in the office of a random guy you never met and will never meet again to make sure that your company can be incorporated."

Indeed. This is one of those things that is a massive, nonobvious competitive advantage for Anglosphere countries - most have an incorporation system that works for really tiny businesses, and there are very few requirements for notaries or similar. There really isn't a good reason for company registration to have non trivial costs.

Companies House will do it for £12. There are third parties who will do the registration through their API for even less, somehow. And the UK is also quite good at legal recognition for unincorporated members' associations (useful if you want a local nonprofit org).
It depends how long the OP has been working at that FANG company. At 40 the only difference is that you’ve built solid roots inside of a company and that your high salary is there to keep you around for a long time. You’re definitely smart but how many young and fresh people are smarter that you out there? How many people want your job? You’re like an octopus holding on to a lot stuff so as soon as you leave your power goes down by a lot. They will replace you and you might be forgotten. If you apply at a different company later on you won’t have the same arguments to justify such a salary/position. I think if you’re very good (which I’m sure is the case for the OP) you’ll have to work your way back up. Meaning it is not that easy to get back to where you were before you quit.

If it's just about weapons, we never left a MAD environment. More nations have nuclear weapons now than ever before.

Two things have changed with the end of the Soviet Union:

1. The nations whose mutual destruction is assured are less ideologically opposed to each other and more economically interdependent, however...

2. ...lots of the cold war era nuclear weapons have been lost. Not destroyed, lost--they could have fallen into the hands of anyone.

There isn’t going to be a “Windows 11” according to what Microsoft has said.

Instead new versions of Windows are released as updates of Windows 10.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/09/windows-1...

Does this mean that Windows 10 apps released today will run on the latest “Windows 10” years in the future? Only time will tell I guess, but if there is one thing Microsoft has been good at historically it’s been backwards compatibility. Not perfect, but still so good at it that they deserve recognition for that. Credit where credit is due and all that, even for an operating system that I generally don’t like and don’t want to use.
That sounds like price anxiety to me. If you didn’t care about cost you’d just buy. If Netflix cost 100 bucks a month you’d have the same anxiety.
It's some protection, and there are niches that none of those tech companies have touched yet. I don't see why people don't see them. If it's a thought that should normally occur in your work day because it could related to your job description or company's products that you could reasonably have an impact on then you're not protected. If it's completely out of left field relative to the previous items then there's no way they could lay claim to it. How could they? Tech is much broader that a lot of people generally think about. Let's say you're doing front end work and your company is some social network but at night you have a brilliant idea for automating biological sample isolation using some robotic system you conjured up during a cup of hot cocoa on the weekend? How is the company going to even attempt to sue you for it when you used none of their resources, the idea was worked on during non-standard hours, and it has nothing to do with them?

If by tech you mean "along the same lines of what I'm doing at work" then you're gonna have a rough time. I do hope that your mind has the ability to wander a bit further from the train of thought you have you typically have while doing what you're paid for.

This goes for the other two replies above as well. If you have an original idea then you're safe. The hard part is having an original idea or even an idea that is several steps removed from a previous idea but still useful.

I believe his point is that these methods are contentious for various reasons (religious objection being an example) so they have been heavily scrutinized and where exceptions have been found so have explanations. While most engineering doesn't receive the same level of attention, even if it could.
There are two main functions of let's call them "modern" autonomous weapons, if you're going to expand the definition of autonomous weapons that much:

1) the decision to kill is not made by a human

2) the cost plummets so much that in the leaders' minds it starts to make sense to send one after almost everyone they want gone for whatever reason (just like it's already happening with drone strikes. It used to be that air strikes were mainly used in active war/conflict. Now it's more of a pervasive "they are always there" situation).
The REPL is often misused and is now a curse.

The idea behind the REPL is for fast iteration in development, but the key thing missing is thinking. Most people write code at the REPL to see what will happen. They don't formulate a hypothesis before hitting the enter key. It's more of a guess driven development methodology, keep trying till it works.

This article is fantastic for people that are more new to Firebase and make these common mistakes. I know when I first started using Firebase for side projects (for fun), as just a front-end dev using Firebase, I found the security aspect of Firebase very overwhelming and scary. I ended up having to pull in some dev friends to help me dial them in properly. The Firebase security docs may be way better now but even as little as a year ago, I found them to just gloss over the topic too casually, personally. It did not make me feel super confident in the security rules I had. I really appreciate the author here taking the time to outline some of these and expand their thoughts more! It really helps a ton!

source? one center mass shot from a 12 gauge or an ar would probably put down an assailant, but only if the person aims perfectly (easier said than done with a long gun inside a building in a stressful situation). and with a pistol, by far the most common firearm in the US, you are pretty unlikely to neutralize the threat with only one shot.

Modern JavaScript: Mastering ES6, and ES7
People that I know in the military wish strong states with strong weaponry to act as a deterrent to conflict. They trust in the professionalism of other states' armed forces and the diplomatic process, which evolved over centuries of war to prevent accidents and human failings. This was greatly tested during the Cold War and the policies and procedures held conflicts down to a relative minimum, the unfortunate proxy war in Vietnam aside.

Once it became clear to planners that MAD wasn't a real scenario and that the most effective strategy for nuclear weaponry involves smaller, more numerous weapons, targeted at enemy military installations, focus shifted on ensuring that enough weapons are available to fully end a conflict.

Disarmament agreements unfortunately ensure that there is strategic space for a nuclear exchange to not fully end a conflict. This raises the probabilities of major conflict rather than reduces them.

Great in theory, not in practice.

People make this mistake a lot (anti-gun people make it, too). The point was never that the American people would be able to repel an oppressive force using only their personal weaponry. That was ludicrous even back in the 1700's.

The key point is that, when the rebels inevitably capture weaponry or receive foreign assistance in that form, they would be generally familiar with its use. They would have skills like marksmanship, trigger discipline, and maintenance. They might need to learn the specifics, but these skills largely transfer.

Edit: Now, I don't think banning breech-loaded firearms makes sense, but that is for reasons unrelated to the original purpose of the second amendment.

Aerodynamics, probably. Also, at that geometry, if the window were to provide any view forward, it'd need to be enormous.
