Again the fascination with the A-10 despite the fact that it isn't a particularly effective CAS platform nowadays will be my constant struggle in a forum like this.

The issue right now isn't with loiter time or payload. Range is the enemy more than anything right now. We fight a global conflict and providing resources anywhere at anytime is alot harder than it sounds. Making A-10s into drones doesn't solve any particular problem. Once the Army fully realizes future vertical lift we'll have a better picture of what "local" CAS will look like moving forward. Right now we team 64s with UAVs all wholly owned and operated by the Army to project force locally.

Response time is key. An F-16 hauling ass from Al Udeid will give me more than an A-10 hauling ass from Al Udeid. Low risk precision is key. A UCAV at altitude raining hate in the from of hellfires presents very low risk to the asset and a great deal of precision for the troops on the ground. The A-10 can act great as a delivery platform, but it is slow and incredibly vulnerable. Time matters for those troops in contact, and providing fast precision is the key ingredient in CAS right now. Sustainment comes in the form of larger platforms such as the B-1 and the B-52. In a low to moderate risk environment you can start throwing in Army assets and special mission stuff like the AC-130. Air power is built as a stack, and the idea to to provide quick reaction to troops in contact with precision munitions. Bring in ISR platforms (or already have them in place) at altitude to develop the battlefield. Finally, sustain air power with larger platforms or locally employed assets (think short range long loiter) such as AH-64s, AH-6s, DAPS, etc.

The reason why the A-10 doesn't have a KEY role in all of this is because after decades at war, lessons were learned. Now the A-10 isn't SUPER BAD at CAS, we've just evolved. An F-35 will do the job just well in that it provides that critical speed, range, payload, precision and all with an amazing capability set. If we ever need to destroy battalions of tanks en-mass with zero risk of effective counter air or anti-air, I'm sure we'll see the A-10 again.

In terms of Khasham, you're also ignoring the dozen or so sorties flown that day by F-22s, F-15s, and B-52s that provided probably more than 80% of the total payload. Not to mention the many un-named ISR and UCAV platforms that probably stayed in the stack for the better part of that week. Going back to the "stack" mentioned above.
When the problem is with actual Nazis? Yep, real easy.
Agreed - it's pretty explicitly just a volatile organic compound (gas) detector. On the other hand VOCs, especially as a proxy for CO2 and air circulation, are also interesting.
Real programmers can glance at a plate of spaghetti and tell where each strand of pasta begins and ends. Even when it is covered in bolognese sauce. And cheese. Can you do that with quiche? Thought not.
MLK was heavily persecuted in the sixties for his views and message by private and public entities. What point are you trying to make.
Yeah, but my point is what was being suggested is physically impossible with CORS in place, so it does imply something about what is in the realm of possibility.
Remote work? I rarely have in-person client meetings anymore. And honestly at my old job it had offices around the country so even then there were people I'd worked on projects with for years and had never met in person.
Slightly, but what we consider male and female voices are correlated with sex and not gender. This is apparent in almost any transexual person, unless they happen to have an androgynous voice or physical alterations to their vocal cords.
OP Here:

Since the AABill, now TOLA (Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2018), is in the news again, here's an FAQ for people who may have questions around this draconian piece of work.

If you have any other questions that aren't already covered, please feel free to add more, either through a pull request, email, Twitter DM, Signal etc. See the FAQ "Asking Questions" section.

And remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid policy!
If their members regularly go out and start shooting people in synagogues and mosques which their pathetic online 8chan friends cheer them on? Eeeeyup, boot their asses right out.
How does the F-35 stack up against the Rafale?
It sounds like a deep female voice, not just in terms of frequency but timbre; perhaps a transwoman who has undergone a lot of voice training. Even deepening it into the male range didn't eliminate the female timbre.

Colossus (from Colossus: the Forbin Project) arguably had a more genderless voice than this.
Woah.

More and more, I'm glad I never took Google up on their interest in me. They absolutely have the money for real private offices, even in their expensive location.
I've posted about this a couple times here in the past (though misspelled Tucano), and saw exactly what you are talking about in Iraq.[1] This article and the F-35 make me sad. It's the last of the samurai. For close air support in a low threat environment the Super Tucano and other aircraft are much better at the task and cheaper. For a high threat environment (i.e. China or Russia), expendable, stealthy drones acting as missile trucks are much better assuming somehow the war doesn't go nuclear and we don't lose in space and cyber first. The F-35 is too expensive and epitomizes the trajectory of the battle ship, where more and more money is put into defense of the platform, and it eventually succumbs to cheaper threats. I think the Future of War delves into this concept well.[2] The F-35 is probably more boondoggle then defense.

It was capable of bombing and A-to-A combat, but was never used for either, according to the Skunk Works book by Ben Rich.
Scott Alexander's theory is that having an open forum has become incredibly difficult, maybe tending towards impossible. All the incentives line up to make moderation steadily more costly or steadily more draconian over time, or both:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/02/22/rip-culture-war-thread...

It's not clear how to preserve a forum for free expression while spammers or trolls seek to suck up all the available bandwidth for their messages. You can end up with a sort of spectrum allocation problem, where if everyone is allowed to crowd the same frequency then communication on it becomes impossible. But once you start moderating content, it's really hard to find a satisfying balance. And on the margins, some trolls are indistinguishable from some people with really unbelievable opinions.

I don't know what the answer is, it seems like a really complicated problem.
The average person (which includes these disaffected white males) is an idiot. They'll pay attention to whatever facebook and youtubes algorithms puts in front of them without question.

There are always disaffected people, but throwing this crap at them day in and day out for ad dollars is just throwing gasoline on a fire for a percentage of the insurance money.
Goroutine stacks start out small (2KB), are heap-allocated and copyable (unlike most Go memory).
As someone who tried teaching themselves math with Khan Academy, I feel like Khan Academy suffers from the same problem most sites do, in that they tell you the information before you can discover it for yourself. This is different than how AoPS teaches math, where they ask you questions which then guide you towards self discovery, and as a result, you start asking your own questions which create paths for you to go on and explore.
Sorry to hear that. What do you do nowadays?
Real programmers don't need to give explicit orders like GOTO. A scowl is enough.
My solution to that was zennioptical.com. I bought about 10 pairs for a total of less than $100 and just leave then all over the place.
Thanks! I was hoping someone would share resources like these. I'll try out Zynthian w/o the extra hardware this weekend :-)
You don't debate literal Nazis who want to kill or enslave everyone who isn't like them with ideas. You debate them with the US Military. Deplatforming is just a palatable middle ground.

You must be a one of those "troops" then since you seem to know what they want?

"there is no aircraft on the planet that provides close air support as well as the A10"

Apache drivers love their guns, don't say that too loudly. Those Marine AH-1 guys hate their lives so they might not care so much you have that opinion. Those Air Force F-15, F-16, F-22 and B-2 drivers might however be a tad salty that despite the fact they are the ones present at those troop in contact missions most of the time they don't get any love because of LUL BRRRRT.

Troops if anything don't want the A-10 because they don't want a friggen strafe ran over them when they could've had a JDAM. But hey, BRRRRRT
I see “serious design people” using non-laptop macs, and using iPads and/or iPhones instead of laptops for portable devices. There are a few who use Windows, but they are almost uniformly unhappy about it.
The people I see who are most happy with Windows are (still) mostly there for gaming.
> You're right that some of these terms have ambiguity, but your example is silly - it's well-accepted that the term "white nationalist" stands on its own and means something different from "white and a nationalist."

Stephen Colbert would disagree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nk0dUjYUNI

"You know why you're not supposed to use that word [nationalist]? Because it's the second half of 'white nationalist'. Chopping off the first word doesn't change what it means in our minds."
Glad you wrote this set of experiences up.

I’ve followed BuildYourOwnLisp[0] in the past, so it’s cool to see something that is more focused on the compilation of Lisp rather than its implementation as a language.

>No one is confused about the difference between "I want to kill all Jews" and "I think the British economy would be better off with fewer Polish plumbers".

You clearly haven't been paying attention to modern day discourse over issues like illegal immigration and such. If you listened to some people (unironically the same people pushing for stuff like this) having an issue with illegal immigration is basically treated like a confession to guilt. And that's even ignoring some of the newer types of arguments they are making.. That merely holding an opinion that could be seen (solely determined by them) as problematic or a "whistle" (in effect anything to the right of left-of-center or non-PC) and thus a "gateway to extremism". So "hate speech" needing to be banned next.
Yes, exactly my point.

History repeats itself and people on the left want to pretend you solve this problem with the debate club.
Not if 'not iterating' means letting literal Nazis have a soapbox in the tech equivalent of the town square.
I think you have a misunderstanding of the word "white nationalism". I'd recommend looking it up to understand what is happening here. But in short it means the belief that there is a white race and that it has a right to preserve itself and it's culture.

Genocidal racism was never allowed on facebook. After this move they will censor a lot of legitimate things.

Nope. New landlords are incentivized to build housing. The only thing that could stop them is regulations from existing landlords, but in a place with enough votes for rent control or subsidies, existing landlords do not have the votes to stop them.
Do you have some statistics on this analogy? I'm curious how many children have died in recent years from not getting a vaccination. I'm honestly not taking one side or the other, but it's clear that you can't have an honest debate on this subject without being called an "anti-vaxxer" and "anti-science" and the like.

Well, since I always use external recruiters or have an internal reference, the salary expectations are known before the first conversation with the hiring company. It would be insane for me to have been in the industry for 20+ years and not to have developed a network.
When the US Constitution was adopted the UK monarch still had enough power that it couldn't reasonably be considered a democracy. The exact point when the UK became a modern democracy is open to debate as power gradually devolved from the monarch to Parliament, but US democracy has absolutely been around longer. There's no legitimate historical debate on that.

And very little of the US governmental system was copied from the UK. A parliamentary system is just totally different from what we have.
This line of conversation is my point. You're debating someone who is acting in bad faith. You've already lost the thread because he's just going to come back with more circular bullshit.
I recommend Clojure. It will, along with other lisps and functional languages, completely change the way you think about coding. It has a vibrant community, the author is very active and gives great talks, it’s interoperable with Java, it’s a lisp, and it’s functional. You can also hit swap production code with ease.

It’s a fun language to learn as it has a repl to interactively develop with and it has a fun online, free book to begin with called Clojure for the Brave and True.

The single biggest reason I recommend it, is purely because Code is Data. In other words, you can write code to write code very easily and it’s a super meta concept that is very accessible to beginners.
The concept of coworking spaces as a social space for a bunch of companies to work in is great.

From a business standpoint you have a whole variety of different people wit different skills and knowledge who can help you and can bounce ideas off, often for free. They're great for networking and gaining new customers/clients too. You also have this flexible working space, meeting rooms, and multimedia equipment (printers, AV equipment, presentation rooms) that you wouldn't get in a private office as a smaller company. If you're a member of a space that's in a network it makes finding a place to work out of a lot easier when travelling too.

That's the theory, at least. And there are a lot of coworking spaces that achieve this, or get close. The one I used to work in was pretty much this. I did have some complaints though about noise, privacy/distraction, and not having a permanent desk to sit every day and pile up my crap.

Noise was a bit of an intrinsic problem, it was a high roof warehouse and people had a bad habit of using their phones at their desks (annoying to have a salesperson sitting next to me all day), but I listen to music all day so wasn't too upset.

Privacy/distraction was caused by the problem that they didn't have adequate separators/cubical bits at the desks, so you felt like you were sitting at a massive dining table. Nice sometimes, but annoying at others when you're trying to focus.

The hotdesking thing was annoying as shit. This was only a problem because my boss was too cheap to pay for permanent desks, which would've also solved the other two problems as we would've been able to customise our space.

And that's the core issue of coworking spaces. There's the theory of what a coworking space is: this social collaborative etc. etc. thing. But in reality, far too often they are just a cheap working space, either because companies cannot afford something better, or are just too cheap to pay for something better. Hotdesks are fine if you work in sales and are always out of office or in meetings, or work as a solo founder. But they're horrible if you want to sit in the same place next to your colleagues and code all day.

Different work environments work for different people, and in an ideal world everyone would get the work environment they need for optimal productivity. But in reality this doesn't happen because employers are cheap.

"Disease-enthusiast"? Please help me understand what you are meaning by this. And how does this refute my statement that the CDC states there ARE possibilities of long term complications, and they DO happen.
Clearly you had a bad experience, but considering that Amtrak obviously kept an eye on the issue, determined a fix and resolved it to make sure it doesn't happen again -- wouldn't that make you more likely to take Amtrak in the future? Not all companies are as pro-active about fixing problems.

Just not sure why their brand would be ruined considering the one issue you had with the service was proactively resolved.
"Sleep is the most powerful Performance Enhancing Supplement" is another remark that feels true.
This is true for newbie investor after reading a book and investing in Wall-Street. They almost always lose the money and again Wall Street releases a new easy book on investing.

I won't argue with loiter time, but projecting that force is hard when those distances increase. The solution has and always will be in-air refueling which every other platform can do just as well.

CAS is more than just "staying", if anything it has a lot more to do with "getting there". We're very good at getting a lot of shit down range, what gets there QUICKLY makes the difference to those on the ground.
Yes, that's exactly what my comment said. Better ban my FB account! (/s)

If they promote violence or brigade, harass, or attack other members directly on FB then. Then yes, they should have their pages shut down. That is more than sufficient rather than saying any language that can be categorized in a very broad and vague category will be banned.

The simple fact alone if you asked various people in America to define a "literal Nazi" you'll get a hundred different answers of who should fit into that category.

Part of the process of getting a security clearance is proving you can't be blackmailed.

Lots of things you would think are disqualifying aren't, as long as you disclose them (being involved with BDSM is the most obvious answer I'm aware of).

The fact that they're LGBT isn't the issue with the repeal of don't ask don't tell. But if they're not out and they don't disclose then yes, this information is absolutely valuable.

Money stuff is another disqualifying event. If you're heavily in debt then you're vulnerable to being paid off in exchange for something against the interests of the United States.
You've described my exact experience with coworking spaces.

Luckily I wasn't self employed and all my colleagues also worked in the same space, so lack of productivity wasn't a huge bugbear for me. Everyone else was equally affected and they paid me peanuts anyway so I didn't really care.
For most people: either Adobe Creative Cloud or a stable OS underneath that doesn’t have “turn it off and back on, and then try reinstalling the driver” as a super-frequent troubleshooting step.
Note that I’m not saying the Apple experience is obviously better; there aren’t good options for many of us. Personally, I’m still using a 2011 MBP that I haven’t been willing to upgrade. :-(
You say “however”, but doesn’t this just reflect the same problem? There are a lot of people with phds who want these jobs, so they are willing to accept these adjunct positions. In the past, when there were fewer excess phds, nobody would have accepted a position under these terms.

Personally, I have no problem with professors getting paid less. My only objection is that these savings don’t appear to be passed on to students. When we get much more efficient at manufacturing computer hardware, one of the benefits is that anyone can buy a capable device for $300 or less. But when we get more efficient at generating phds, and therefore have a much greater supply of teachers, the savings are not apparent in tuition prices.

Cool. But it's generally better if your aircraft isn't being hit by AA gun fire in the first place.
Is "fuck you" a euphemism for "you're buying a computer that costs $500 less and as a result probably doesn't have the internal hardware to support 4 separate USB-C ports"?
Looks like negligent entrustment is typically limited to automobiles, and then only when the person to whom it is being entrusted is intoxicated or has a reputation for intoxication.

You're right that duty is a requirement of negligence, not all tort liability — thanks for correcting this.

I'm still not clear on how liability would result in this sort of hypo. Are there statutes establishing liability? Is it common law? Either way, what are the legal requirements, bright lines, etc.? Just looking for some good old fashioned IRAC here, if you know what I mean :)
I've found that a lot of that horrifically boring work could easily be optimized or automated, but the old pensioners have little inventive to budge.
I don't understand the described result for Option 1 or how having stored in UTC creates a problem there. It would seem to me like when the government changes the rules for local time, they are effectively moving the (real, not clock) time for the conference. It would seem like there is enough information stored in the database that installing the new time zone rules should cause the timer to move to accommodate this, as long as addresses don't get redefined (a different issue with that storage model). I don't see why the timer would not instantaneously jump an hour to correct itself when it becomes aware of the new rules or why it wouldn't hit the zero at the right time.
A lot of big brands launder their shady services through secondary service providers, or indirectly profit off of shady third party service providers.
>Nowhere on the page linked in the original post does Facebook define "white nationalism" or "white separatism".

Do they define ISIS? That didn't seem to cause as much concern.

As for the rest of your post, I'm baffled that you somehow think that "preventing people from trying to kill people" is somehow a negative thing that should be criticized.

I also think that if I were consistently being mistaken for a white supremacist, I'd think about why that were happening, and probably try to distance myself from the things that were causing those mistakes. Your view appears to be that it's better to just prevent people from voicing their confusion.
Assuming it could be proven, surely?

And there have to be limitations as to how far an individual could go as to subterfuge, so if your company enforces a 2-person code review and there aren't other authorized Australian nationals at hand, you could point at process preventing you from doing so without others' knowledge (how naive this defense is, I have no idea)
Isn't it nearly impossible to fire a professor once they earn tenure? Seems like pretty good job security to me.
