>High risk locations. Dense metro downtowns, sports stadiums, government buildings, large public utilities (nuclear power plants), etc.

You take out dense metro downtowns and I think that's perfectly sensible.

It doesn't require any kind of licensing, or national database, or wide scale distributed systems of any kind. Drones are off limits in the those areas just like aircraft are. If you have an automated defense system and you need a drone for some exceptional reason, you clear it with whoever manages the local system and they install a friend or foe transponder on the drone.

Wide scale drone licensing enforcement isn't required or effective if your goal is to protect high threat targets from drone attacks. It solves completely different problems.

>No, I'm just noting that however we deal with this for aircraft might help here, since the same rules apply.

You need a much higher density of radar installations, with an exponentially higher cost since drones are much smaller than aircraft.

>$8 billion

That's off by a few orders of magnitude if you're talking about a wide-scale system including towers, radar, personnel, drone take down capability etc...

>10+ lbs of payload for something that would want the maximum blast radius and power, or the maximum directed penetration for hard targets

You’re still talking pipe bomb levels. It’s still much more effective to leave a bag in a trashcan in a crowded space.

> A few grand ($3k-$6k) gets you 20 lbs of payload easily (and more if you need it), from multiple manufacturers.[1] $10k seems to get you like 40 lbs or more.

You're looking at a list of maximum payloads from the marketing department. Not maximum realistic operational loads. And the drones with 40lb payloads are huge.

>It's a real attack vector, and if there's no mitigations,

There are no feasible large scale mitigations that are effective enough to change the calculus.

Again if you’re talking local mostly automated drone defense, then sure that’s feasible and probably necessary at some point.
Where did you hear that? 3 hasn’t even been competitive vs 2 until very recently.

It's presumed that the Israelis got a little bit greedy and, even though it was doing it's job, tried to make the virus do it's job a little better. They made it more virulent which made it spread outside of the systems it was only targeted to spread to.
Nah, it's pretty much true, as someone from the bible belt even.

Hell, it was always true. The point of a diamond on the engagement ring was because it was assumed that you had kicked the tires on that part of the relationship, and the engagement fell through, then that woman had something she could sell as a nest egg for her new life as a forever alone spinster, being the 'broken woman' that she was.
We don’t require ID as such. Every citizen is issued a little piece of paper that they can trade in for a ballot for that specific election.

We used to look people up in big books, that are printed for the occasion, to make sure their piece is valid and they haven’t already voted - which took a long time and led to queues. That’s the part we digitized.

But you can vote without ID as long as you have that piece of paper and know your birthdate.

I’m actually not sure how the homeless vote (they can’t receive the piece of paper), but I guess they probably do a mail vote at their local municipality.
Ah ok, that's definitely an important distinction.

Practical question: how does one determine whether an action is unconstitutional? How does one refer to "case history" (or whatever) if it's not written down?
Your comment about rates of donation caused me to check what the frequency of donation for whole blood in other countries is compared to the US. I was surprised to see that England and Australia both have 12 week periods (at least for men), while the US allows donations every 8 weeks. What’s interesting to me is that the last time I went to donate they had a new info sheet regarding post donation iron deficiency [0] for frequent donors, and I saw that one of the things the FDA was considering was increasing the period between donations. That a majority of the non-supplemented participants hadn’t regained their pre-donation iron levels after 24 weeks was surprising and caused me to start consciously increasing my iron intake after donating (along with starting iron supplements). That study contrasted with a more recent study that found no major downsides to the 8 week interval [1].

It sounds like this is done via automatic registration, which solves a major objection that opponents of voter IDs in the USA generally have (i.e., IDs are too hard for some people to get to make them a prerequisite).

Automatic registration is likely controversial in the US for different reasons, as other posters mentioned.

This is actually terrible, for one thing the bridges don't move independently, you click one and another moves, making it FEEL deceptive and not allowing you to easily work out the whole problem space or why. They should move independently and if the configuration doesn't make sense, tell you.
For another thing, it conflates economic disalignment with having a hard border, the whole argument of the UK government is that you don't have to do that.

It therefore makes no comment on the Checquers plan which even if you don't like it, is just deceptive. Checquers plan would be equivalent to a different kind of checkbetween NI and Ireland, not a hard border but the idea being (I think) that we check good on the way in for whether they're intended for consumption or export to the EU, if they're passing through to the EU we apply our own tariffs. On the EU side I think we don't put tariffs, then we don't have to do any checks on the way in or out on that border because the EU tariffs have been applied on the way in.

Whether you think that's feasible, mixing up hard borders with economic alignment and completely ignoring the nuance of hard border vs tech border and the government's current proposal is gross.

Because citizens are not required to have ID and those that don't have one are disproportionately racial minorities and/or in lower socioeconomic classes. Democrats would be much more willing to allow ID to be required to vote if there was a national ID card issued to every citizen, but Republicans would be against any system that would try to create a national ID.
The fees to the buyer on the sale of a $1.1m house are about $60,000 including broker fees of 5%, transfer, title, and many other fees. Fix that, attract buyers, and charge the seller $20k and you've got a heck of a good business.

My recent experience in selling a property is that no buyers could find the property and contact me until I hired an agent. Listing it FSBO resulted in calls from agents, not buyers. Every agent had a horse in their stable that they wouldn't share with me unless I paid them a commission.

Figure out how to make it emotionally and legally safe for buyers to acquire property without an agent and I think that would help. All to often we think we need representation, which is expensive, when we actually don't.
This is fascinating to me even though it shouldn't be. Since manga has been around as a mainstream thing i japan for as long as it has it was bound to start happening.

It absolutely should not be. It makes no sense to provide high-risk big dollars to majority of anything.

The name "startup" means different things for different people.

Paul Graham definition for startup means salable hyper-growth. Platform economies like Google, Amazon, FB, Twitter, grow trough network effects. The reason why US leads in this new economy is because they have their eye in winning big.

One big hit justifies losing lots of money in 100 mediocre startups or low growth enterprises.

This is part of the problem in the United States. Voting is a chore, and you're often going to lose money (unpaid time off) to do it. If elections were national holidays and voting was treated as a privilege instead of a chore, we would be much better off.

HBO 2006 documentary 'Hacking Democracy' on Youtube
https://youtu.be/iZLWPleeCHE

'The film investigates the flawed integrity of electronic voting machines, particularly those made by Diebold Election Systems, exposing previously unknown backdoors in the Diebold trade secret computer software. The film culminates dramatically in the on-camera hacking of the in-use / working Diebold election system in Leon County, Florida - the same computer voting system which has been used in actual American elections across thirty-three states, and which still counts tens of millions of America's votes today.'

There's also the rocket engine, which is a lot more than a tube. Disposables throw that away too. You can just look at the cost of the rocket to see how much expensive stuff is getting thrown away.

SpaceX does still use the Falcon 9 as a disposable for extra-heavy payloads. That doesn't mean you have to throw your rocket away for all payloads, and the capacity difference isn't dramatic. And there won't be that many payloads too big for the BFR in reusable mode.

It's true that the rocket wears out eventually. SpaceX is aiming for about ten reuses initially, thus lowering hardware costs by 90%. They hope to do much better than that later.
The Brexiteers who keep complaining about having a second (third?) referendum doesn't stop because people will just keep having referendums until they get the answer they want fail to see that's the point of referendums.

A referendum should be held on major political stuff (like leaving the EU or Scotland leaving the UK) if national polls have pinged the opinion at least 60%, and then it should also require a higher majority (like 60%) to change. This ensures a big major change happens if it's really wanted, but for very divisive issues it will take time.

So yes we should keep having a Brexit referendum if the national polls start getting 60% support, until then it's not worth it. And it should require more than 60% otherwise if you go 50% like now, you have half the country hating the other half. If we kept the status quo, then the brexit people would have had to keep up and slowly change peoples opinion so the majority of the country agree.
Cameron did the 'either / or' thing three times, once on House of Lords reform, once on Scots independence and latterly on Brexit. Won the first two, came a-cropper on the third.

Personally, I'm against referendums of any kind.

> if the universe stretches far enough, everything could happen <

The article says this. Is this an assertion that the number of things that could happen is finite, or is it an assertion that the number of elements in one infinite set is greater than or equal to the number in another infinite set? Which infinity is equal to the number of things that could happen? How many dimensions would the universe need so that the number of things that would happen in it would equal the number of things that could happen in the most inclusive case?
This.

EnergyBar: Supercharge Your Mac's Touch Bar
Not really true at all. Having no degree at all may present an obstacle in entering the interview process if you don't have strong experience to make up for it. But once you've entered the process as a candidate, the type or lack of degree will have absolutely no bearing on whether or not you're given an offer. It may be used past the decision phase when the hiring committee is deciding how to level you, but if so that will only be meaningful if they're slotting you for the first two levels or so.

Everything becomes easier with a degree, doubly so with a degree from a top university. But they only use that as a factor in deciding who to interview; all they care about when deciding who to hire is interview performance. Someone without a degree should be optimizing their search by convincing hiring managers or employees to refer them into the process directly, thereby short circuiting the recruiters.
I guess they like sensational stuff like cave rescues and plane crashes too.

I disagree with your conclusion because you are not considering external factors. The issue isn't majority vote. The problem is many of the voters were not properly informed about the consequences of their decision. More importantly, many voters were misinformed by an external disinfo campaign.[1] [2]

A better informed electorate would have prevented Brexit. We don't allow foreign countries to air political ads. It's time social media policies caught up.

Come to think of it, maybe I should start a blog focused on covering tech in China.

Edit: To give some context, out of 10 videos that I see on facebook, about 3 of them are "directly taken" from douyin. You can spot them because they have the watermark in Chinese. Granted my social circle is more "Chinese", but lots of content are not Chinese specific, like cats or random funny videos.

Perhaps oddly, despite being on the losing side of this referendum, I have not change my mind about the value and importance of even simple majority referendums (referenda?) like the one I just lost.

Rather, I think it is absolutely important to inform the electorate and to make sure that propaganda is effectively prevented. I have literally no idea how to do any of that.

If “the people” cannot be convinced of your arguments, then the arguments suck — and one thing I’ve been amazed at since the referendum is how severely all of the talking heads in the UK, Remain and Leave both, have persistently failed to connect with any issue of importance to the other side.

Is the institution of civil marriage still even needed? When a marriage is officially recorded with the county clerk that confers a set of legal benefits and obligations related to child custody, immigration, income taxes, healthcare decisions, etc. But in principle there's no reason those things have to be bundled together. It could all be handled with standardized legal contracts.

Even without civil marriage, people who wanted to could still have religious marriage ceremonies and anyone who wanted to could call themselves married. It just wouldn't have any force of law.

We do have a central registry of every citizen, so I guess that might scare some Americans.

That piecemeal house building is also a great way to dodge property taxes and other taxes (income from black labor), as you only pay for finished houses and the contractors in cash at least in some countries. The phenomenon is very common in Arab cities in Israel as well.
> ... the divorce rate as a ratio of divorces to the total number of married women. So, the divorce rate’s decline isn’t a reflection of a decline in marriages.

That doesn't seem right at all,

If the decline in marriages in marriages result in more at risk marriages not happening, this could absolutely be a reflection of a decline in marriages
