A few thoughts:

1) It's amazing how the operation to steal the AIM-9, despite being so high-risk, was accomplished with much ease & simplicity.

2) I am surprised that the KGB agent and his conspirators only received 4 years of prison time for this. This might just be my ignorance of the subject, but isn't stealing a missile and giving it to an enemy more deserving of a stricter sentence? Perhaps a deal was involved related to the intelligence the former KGB agent could provide in exchange for some leniency.

3) Tangential but semi-related: There is an interesting theory by Dimitri Khalezov about the armed Russian Kursk submarine, which sunk in 2000, being the source of a stolen nuclear-capable P-700 Granit anti-ship cruise missile. His theory is that this missile was the projectile which rammed through The Pentagon (but failed to detonate) on 2001 September 11th. Who stole the missile and why is a mystery, but pictures of the impact at The Pentagon and what is known about this missile could support the theory. Allegedly, when the Russians extracted the warheads from their sunken submarine, the extraction team was ordered to fill the warhead containers with a type of foam that would permanently seal them without checking the contents of the containers themselves. In essence, one or more missile containers recovered from the submarine may have actually been empty & verification of the contents was prevented in order to cover up the fact that a nuclear weapon had gone missing.
“Parents can later leverage the citizenship of their progeny to gain theirs.”

No, they can’t - not in anything resembling a reasonable timeframe. The only benefit they gain is the ability to have their child sponsor them once they are adults. It takes 18 years to become an adult, 1 year to petition for a green card and 5 years to get citizenship for a bare minimum of 24 years. I said 27 because I used 21 years of age to calculate. That’s not a benefit really, taking into account the fact the children have to pay taxes for that whole period while living abroad. Then the child has to want to live in the US, move there and sponsor their parents at their sole discretion.

The idea parents get massive benefits for having a child in the US is an “anchor baby” in colloquial terms, pejorative or not. It applies colloquially to legal and illegal immigrants - and so does the family reunification visa process. The idea of an anchor baby is a myth.

Your single anecdote is not outweighed by facts, it’s not precedent unless it happened in court (the whole immigration process is almost entirely discretionary and capricious, you can be denied or delayed for any reason, and you have almost zero recourse because you as a foreigner have no right to immigrate to the US except by asylum — and no amount of “my parents got in” is going to change the mind of a consular officer or immigration judge). You didn’t read the article I sent you, you bragged about it, and you’re still wrong.

I don't think most people think about it like you do. Americans tend to spend far more on cars than they need to. An awful lot of SUVs and expensive German cars are sold to people that could probably get by with an inexpensive sedan or hatchback.

I do live in Texas though, so my experience might not be typical.

The US had a mix of BBSs and online services. In the US local calls were sometimes free, which meant the BBS community was vibrant.

But the online services were really freaking pricey.

I couldn't find one for Paddle to use but I'm sure I saw a few for Stripe. I wanted to use Paddle because they do EU VAT for you. I could be tempted to open source it though.

The gist of it is when a subscription is purchased a web hook triggers a Firebase Cloud Function that stores the subscription data (i.e. email address + subscription expiry date) in Firestore then when someone logs in via Firebase authentication you check if the email address is linked to a valid subscription. When the next payment is made to the subscription, you bump up the subscription expiry date. I've found there's little that can go wrong once it's up and running.

I've never touched Java; do I have a dull and limited computing experience?

I maintain my own Lisp implementation that has a decent object system, exceptions, delimited continuations, compiler and virtual machine, and a whole-document pattern matching language for easy text transformation.

I've worked on early versions of the POSIX threading library for Glibc, Linux device drivers, all sorts of middleware stacks in wireless, VoIP and such.

I started working with 8 bit microcomputers in the early 1980's, writing games and utilities, and dial-up BBS's, using assembly language and BASIC. I had dabbled in 3D graphics and the "demo" scene. I used to code in Pascal and Modula-2 before C. I've worked as a C++ dev for many years.

Java simply isn't something that would interest me. Java programs look verbose and blubby. To be fair, a lot of what I use and have used is blubby, like the C language, Unix shell and whatnot. But I don't need more blubby. I have my fill of blub calories already. The Java platform bloated, and the ecosystem is self-absorbed. To its credit, it has a reputation for supposedly having good garbage collection and concurrency in its VM, that's about it.

We were using RTDB and migrated firestore. The querying limitations in RTDB is really painful.
Transitioning was not that difficult. Basically wrote a script in node.js to migrate the data. (our db size is <100M)
EOS stakeholders voting to burn 25M EOS ($58M)
Yes, and some people use prepared statements as one offs where a prepared statement will be registered and then some values will be sent to fulfill those "holes" and then we're done with the query, but prepared statements are reusable and pre-cacheable so it'd be interesting to know how communication from an application to a DBMS notes which statement it is talking about and what parts of the query plan a DBMS will reuse when re-executing the query.

It's quite interesting stuff, but because it's almost all details about the weeds a lot of abstract overviews of how DBMSes process queries skip over it as "implementation details" this particular article goes pretty deep into those details for regular queries so it'd be neat to see those details for prepared statements.
I did this also. Most successful "be on facebook but not sucked in" method I've ever done.

I started just by unfollowing literally everyone. I have since readded my immediate family and a couple close friends. I find this doesn't change things, and it's more automatic than remembering to check their pages. They don't post much.

Finally, when visiting Munich I joined a local group. Didn't unsubscribe, so I still see posts. This is sort of handy: if you have nothing followed, facebook will dresge up random stuff such as suggested friends.

With a single group you auto ignore, facebook is content and just shows that. (But beneath family, if there are any posts from them)
When I was in wood shop a million years ago they didn't have table saws and didn't even want us using the one band saw in the shop. We made all our cuts using jigsaws. You'd have to work really hard to seriously hurt yourself with one of those.
Thanks! But, depending on the definitions of 'Employees' and 'Permitted Users' (and perhaps 'Permitted Entity'), that section's wording doesn't necessarily make the Facebook/Google use prohibited.

FWIW, I am a paid-up, registered member of the Apple Developer program, but still can't access that page, as it is apparently limited only to enterprise developers. So I can't check the definitions/details myself.

That limitation also helps me understand why so few, here or in the journalistic coverage I've seen, seem willing to quote the exact section violated. Those curious and willing to answer perhaps cannot access the formal wording, whereas those with the rights to access the terms may fear they'd be violating some obscure provision of their Apple agreements by merely quoting it.
Using a $100k rocket to avoid losing 5 soldiers that end up costing a million bucks each when you factor in training, salary, healthcare, death benefits, etc... makes a lot of sense.

Human wave tactics only work well if your army consists of poorly paid conscripts with no benefits, and even then they aren't terribly effective.

One of the big takeaways I got from the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary series is that it really was a war that nobody could win. The NVA was completely outmatched and would have been crushed if the US wasn't trapped behind political barriers like the 17th parallel. At the same time the US couldn't win because the South Korean government and army was hopeless. All the US could do was "accidentally" walk into ambushes and try to kill as many North Vietnamese as possible in the hope that the government would become so weak that even the South Vietnamese army could take it.

The big takeaway is never get involved with someone else's civil war.
Any NFA can be reduced to a DFA (potentially at the cost of exponential blowup), and any DFA is also a NFA. That's not really a bijection, but it's true that they're equivalent.

DFAs can run in bounded time, because every symbol takes exactly one step to be processed, and there is only one way to process a string.

That also means NFAs can run in bounded time, by reducing them to DFAs first, but that's not a very satisfying explanation.

A NFA rejects a string if it can not end in an accepting state. It's not intuitively straightforward to see whether that's the case, but it can be done in bounded time by exhaustively checking possible paths (which is possible with a finite number of states and a finite input string).

You can't always perform that trick with Turing machines, because they can have infinitely many reachable states.
The article doesn't say, but I'm curious about the effect of the changing population has on this. I don't know the exact numbers, but if tech unemployment is low and salaries have remained on average the same, that could also be due to adding a lot of entry-level engineers. If that's the case then saying that tech salaries are "stagnant" could be misleading, because individuals in the population are not generally stagnating.

General Availability. It has been promoted from a Beta product.
I meant the implementation is efficient, not the user experience. Amazon sure does benefit from consolidating all of its services into a single infrastructure, and from being able to bootstrap a whole new "store" just by adding a product category. It just lacks the ability to tune in to any particular user segment's needs.

Is part of what makes google less useful their attempt to "curate"? It's worth thinking about what constitutes curation.

I would say that adapting results towards expected customer preferences (eg giving pet owners and programmers different results for "getting started with python") is curation.

Perhaps more controversially, so too is the pruning of results at all – if most of what I'm searching for is spam/malware, then so be it.

Search engines are already very curated, IMO. There's room to differentiate by choosing NOT to curate. I would be curious to use a search engine that used nothing but PageRank circa ~2006.

Pedantically, any algorithm/ranking/weighting system is unavoidably curatory by design.

But to answer what I think you mean, yes, I think there's room for opinionated search engines for many values of "opinionated". Another way to think of these might be "contexts" that you apply overtop of a search engine, and perform many searches within that context.

For example, when I'm searching for front end things, I wish google were smart enough to time-scope my searches dynamically using knowledge I don't have. I search for Mongoose operations and get top results from 2011 saying X doesn't exist, but it was added in 2016. I would like to see only results from when the thing I wanted existed. But only ever searching the last two years all the time costs results that would be helpful in other times.

When searching for device repair instructions, I wish the engine were able to adopt my estimations about sites that aggregate forum replies or repair instructions in automated ways to gather clicks, and either banish them or loudly mark them.

I'm not sure how to do this with major traction, or without being eaten by google, but "ecosystem of many opinionated and accurate search contexts" feels like it would add value to the world.

It's all a spectrum, the question is whether a better system is conceivable or achievable. Scotland was offered a free vote on leaving the UK and voted to remain, if they'd left I wouldn't have wanted us to try and block their entry to the EU or otherwise impose tarrifs or create ill will. You could argue that they should schedule a vote once a decade, I don't think I'd oppose that. If they wanted another vote now that also seems fair.

This is just one more "proof" of René Girard's mimetic theory. The scapegoat mechanism at the core of all human societies was heavily explained and documented 50 years ago. René Girard, whose theories heavily influenced the world vision of Peter Thiel and many more, is still dramatically absent in this kind of articles. I'm not sure why. His mimetic theory absolutely revolutionized the field of anthropology, theology, and many more should come.

In the UK it's illegal to sound the horn when the vehicle is stationary, or between 23:30 and 07:00 in a built-up area, so someone who brought one of these auto-honking US vehicles to the UK would have to lock it by some other means?

I'd buy that if all the research into making them addictive wasn't pursued. Just like cigarettes, a lot of people are being targeted by the addictive nature of these devices. Sure, there's some people who just won't smoke, no matter what. But if you look at statistically significant portions of the population, how they were directly targeted by marketing, and then saturated with a physically addictive chemical (constant dopamine rushes that impact the brain in the case of smart phones and apps), well....I'm pretty sure the argument holds up for a large part of the population. Saying "just don't do that' just doens't work.

Websites have had comments sections since well before social networks took off. Even in the Geocities days, you had "Sign my Guestbook/View my Guestbook". Some truly old-school websites, like Mark Prindle Reviews, included email responses from people who read his work.

Trying to shoehorn social media profile integration into this system will eventually end up influencing the content, and once more it'll be a race to the bottom, with everyone posting stuff only for other people's validation. It shouldn't work that way for the 'weird web'.

I need to check my undergrad metalogic notes, but I think they are "almost" the same. You might be right though, it's a very nuanced point you're making. IIRC, Godel and Lob used the "|- Prov(...)" (or Bew(...)) predicate to essentially make them the same.
> The role and effectiveness of concrete in reducing violence across Baghdad cannot be understated. Concrete barriers had been used throughout Iraq for years to reduce the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) emplaced along major roads. But during the surge, concrete barriers were widely used to limit the enemy’s ability to maneuver freely across Baghdad. The first surge unit in Thawra District, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, led by Col. Billy Don Farris, emplaced over thirty miles of concrete barriers. One of the first uses of concrete was to protect the Adhamiya neighborhood by building a three-mile wall around it—which would earn a nickname: the “Great Wall of Adhamiya.”

> The barriers used to form the walls were named after American states to denote their progressive size. The smallest, Jersey barriers (three feet tall; two tons), were used to block roads and slow traffic approaching checkpoints. Medium to large barriers—Colorado (six feet tall; 3.5 tons), Texas (six feet, eight inches tall; six tons), and Alaska (twelve feet tall; seven tons)—were used to construct checkpoints and protective walls around markets, mosques, and other areas where crowds were being targeted by bombs and shootings. The Texas barrier, due to its width and ease of transport, among other reasons, was predominately used to create the safe neighborhoods. But it was the massive T-walls that were used to create coalition and ISF bases and to maximize protection and prevent infiltration. Similar in size to Alaska barriers, the massive twelve-foot-tall, six-ton T-wall, with its interconnecting edges, created an effective barrier.

Curious how folks interpret these statements as reinforcing or undermining their positions on the US Border Wall debacle. Is it a possibility that POTUS, upon hearing reports similar to this from Iraq, might be likely to want to reuse the approach?

Conversely, why is this effective in Iraq? Can opposition forces not build tunnels or lay ladders over these walls?

I totally feel your pain. I have been slowly building a local search engine for navigating the ebooks, PDFs, and other documents I've got stored on my NAS device.

I ended up replacing my NetApp StorVault (6TB (4TB usable), RAID6) with a FreeNAS box from iXSystems (24TB (20TB usable), RAID6) which cost me a bit more than $2500. (it is also much quieter than the StorVault was :-)). And on that 20TB I've stored a bit more than 200 book volumes that I had digitized at 1DollarScan, probably close to 1000 magazines (scanned generally manually with my ScanSnap 1500), and perhaps as many PDF documents that were never printed to begin with (like data sheets). I also have my music collection, and I have recently looked at putting movies on there as well since the streaming services are letting me down here as well.

At the end of the day it is the 21st century version of one's personal library.
I've been waiting for somebody to say this. The SawStop would ideally prevent his hand from being cut by the blade, but it wouldn't stop the wood from flinging back from the machine at high speed which is incredibly dangerous on its own and could cause (and has caused) severe injuries to people.

I'm not against SawStop saws, and in fact I own one, but I would not feel any danger using any other type of table saw in good working condition. Understanding how the machine works and taking the proper safety precautions is much more important to your overall safety than something like SawStop technology.
You're going to have a pretty hard time being serious as a woodworking hobbyist if you're afraid of table saws.
I get what they are usually saying and I generally agree. For example DHH has a ton of material on how to do things differently, or more sane if you so will. It is just, now that I am convinced then what? I can try and incorporate some things, but it doesn't change much overall. So while I can appreciate the "gospel", there needs to be a path for people who are already on board. Maybe a organization, methodology, role or even a damn certificate. Because there are thousands of people learning "growth hacking", "agile" or whatever every day.
