To an outsider, it looks a bit like minesweeper.
A garbage car is a single object, and it's large enough that earth-based radar can track its orbit, so it poses much less risk (since its orbit is known, the ISS and other satellites can move out of the way whenever a potential collision is predicted). Missile tests like this one generate debris that's too small to be tracked, but large enough to cause significant damage in case of a collision.

No country becomes a superpower courtesy of nuclear bombs.

Ask North Korea and Pakistan, both of which are feeble in terms of economy and military. India is still extraordinarily poor today and in 1974 it was that much worse. They have zero global superpower reach either economically or militarily. Both economically and militarily they're still very much a regional power. The largest economies do not fear India's economic power, yet. The US is the sole superpower today and it most certainly doesn't fear India's economic power. The US is only just becoming concerned with China's economic might in the last six or seven years. China's currency has only a small amount of global reach and influence, India's currency wields almost none. Their GDP per capita is #139 in the world, below East Timor.

Given 30 years they should become a middle income country (assuming some setbacks along the way). In 50 or 60, if everything goes right, they could be a superpower.
Having nuclear weapons isn’t the sole factor in becoming a superpower. Britain has had nukes almost as long as there have been nukes, but I wouldn’t describe us as a superpower, or France, or Israel.

I'm not saying it is -- but rather, that they could get away with such sloppy code generation because CPUs are so fast now. I did mention that early in the history of the PC, pretty much all compilers were like that due to other constraints, and the difference between that and handwritten Asm was enormous.
<Deep breath>

1) Whataboutism doesn't help anyone. Two wrongs don't make a right.

2) India has the hindsight of history that the US and earlier Space programs didn't. Humanity did not consider these kinds of things earlier. Space was treated as essentially infinite. We now know better and know that this debree can cause a real threat to future space missions, even in the worst case dooming humanity to Earth as a prison[1].

By the way, the same applies to carbon emissions. Yes, the West got to industrialize by rampantly polluting the world. No, that doesn't mean China and India get a free pass for it.

Also, to the exploitation of countries/economies/people below you on the totem pole. Again, no free pass for what China is doing in Africa just because Europe did it for hundreds of years.

3) This is a slightly different point from (2), but back when Russia and US were rampantly launching rockets into space and exploding satellites, there wasn't a permanently occupied space station in orbit, crewed continuously by human beings from an international peaceful cooperating collective.

> The question is whether we should let people distribute his manifesto for the sake of freedom of expression or if we consider it to be dangerous and worthy of a ban.

Speaking as a us citizen, that is crazy talk. Why should the government be let to decide what is "too dangerous" for me to read? It seems incredible that first world democracies still engage in that kind of censorship.
Let’s take TurboTax as something I would call a complex piece of software. I’ve never worked on TurboTax, but I have had to develop software with a more complex set of business requirements.

The complexity in much of software engineering comes from understanding the business requirements translating that to code and making a system usable.

Most development is not about leetCode and DS&A.

The most we can expect from a junior developer who just graduated from college with a CS degree is for them “not to eat the chalk.” At least the boot camp grad can hit the ground running and add features.

The type of theory companies care about isn’t how to invert a binary tree and whether you know how to write a merge sort. Heck even C had the built in qsort that was good enough.
It's not so much being wrong than just naming one piece of a more complex puzzle.
A wide range of things affect cytokines, nutrition and exercise are central, but also cognitive stress and sleep, and lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, certain drugs like amphetamines, to just name a few.

In general, expecting that the intake of some chemical will fix the multitude of factors contributing to this complex disease seems short sighted and may create false hopes in people suffering from it, so far no easy chemical fix has been found or it would instantly replace SSRIs in their lacking efficacy.
For me personally the only things that helped over long were radical mental discipline (daily mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy), daily exercise, nutritional changes and a willingness to be comfortable being uncomfortable to make those changes.
But today, even with alternatives present, scientists still give away or sell their rights to the journals.

The scientists are often paid be the government. So it is the government that creates this situation and makes "high impact" journals what they are. It is the government that doesn't mandate free access to the knowledge.

If Evernote will pursue the "Spaces" route, it's going to end up like Google+, trying to be like others without truly understanding why.

What they should do, is double-down where the puck is going in the context of individual productivity.

What is interesting in cases like this - it's all there, in their own forums. A roadmap vector based on their own WHY in a form of their userbase voice.

That being said, I still use Evernote. For existing Evernote users there are no real alternatives to it atm in my opinion (yup I'm using Notion, but for diff purpose). It's astonishing how much bullets can an original purpose-driven WHY take over the years and still keep going.

P.S
I just build a tool for Evernote (https://neuracache.com/) just because these are the things that were missing for me the most. Again it's all in their forums, just as an example in the context of my own itch :

i wish you the best, and i love your product design/idea!
I am not saying that the US are perfect in every regard. I only admire their anti-censorship stance, which is increasingly rare. There are still many problems, e.g. with arbitrariness of law application, and the popularity of surveillance state.

However, there is subtle, but important (at least to me) distinction between “this site violates the law — let’s pursuit its owners legally” and “this site violates the law — let’s block it for everyone and censor communications to implement that”.

My understanding of color blindness has always been that it's typically a problem with the actual eye cones for color sensing--at least for non-pathological cases of color blindness.
for example, when logging, you can have a source line prepended to the beginning of the line, which certainly uses the pclntab

It needs to go through the table to find which source line corresponds to the current instruction pointer? That's the only reason I can see for needing it, and a very roundabout way of getting information which is known at compile-time and could be simply a constant whereever it's used, much like C has __FILE__ and __LINE__.
Well, what's good for the goose.
I think there should be a difference between sites which the user is merely browsing, and sites which a user is actively using. The former shouldn't be able to show popups, while the latter may. Moving a website from "browsing" to "using" state could be done with a (small) button in the top bar. It's in a sense like "installing" an app.
I travel a lot (work and pleasure) and you see this almost at least in every poorer Asian country; Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Sri Lanka. So much plastic, everywhere. I cannot understand people can live with it. I mean if it's around the corner, maybe you can but people just let it lie in front of their doors. In NL people sweep 3 leaves in the compost heap that is in front of their doors; plastic or other crap is unheard of.

I understand differences, but how can you live in these circumstances; it's not only the very poor, it's also in front or in gardens of villa's in those countries. No-one seems to care. It's a crying shame as all of these have amazing nature contrasted with utter disregard of that nature in many ways.

The roadster (I assume you mean Tesla's roadster) is in orbit of the sun (ie. It has escaped the earth gravitational pull). Unlike the space debris which orbits the earth. Therefore the debris is a threat and the roadster is not.
OK, since it looks like these libraries are going down after all, can we systematically download the content in them that's verifiably in the public domain, and upload it to the Internet Archive so that it becomes legitimately available and findable? There's a lot of such stuff that gets entirely fraudulent copyright claims tacked on to it, or claims that might apply only to supplemental matter (especially prefaces) that can be stripped out of a (DRM-free!) PDF file. And if something was first published before the late 19th century, it's quite obviously PD even in "life+X" countries where it might be hard to find info about all the people who could've had a hand in it back then.
There'll be the usual pro-fission claims from the anti-renewables taskforce I'm sure, but these kinds of stories continue to boost claims that we can move away from fossil+nostorage without any significant disruption.
They might not be able to change production quickly enough in hydro plants to serve daily demand peaks, or the peaks might be higher than the total produced amount from the 60% hydro.
I don't see how this issue has much to do with "fairness." There's no reason that any organization must treat its audiences identically.
Also, to prove a rocket you need to have a dummy payload of some kind. Whatever you think about the stunt of using a Tesla as that dummy payload, there was going to be a payload of some kind however that decision went. The fact it was a car doesn't change the collision risk or debris amount compared to using a mass simulator.
If every site responded, upon request, with their patch level, a database could easily be created.

Or a scan becomes that much easier to perform on 100,000 endpoints - and then your targeted attacks can begin on only vulnerable systems. 'Exploiters' waste a lot of time trying non-vulnerable systems.

The less information your server exposes to the outside, the better.

As a Russian (and not a really fond of Putin's regime one) living in Germany, I can tell you that Russia's copyright policy is nowhere as strict as one of Germany. A lot of copyrighted content can be found on Russian websites, and what's missing from there is on Chinese ones.

You still need VPN if you want to get to some content forbidden for political reasons, but for most people the ability to get a movie/album/book they want matters more.
Except the "starman" tesla was beyond Mars' orbit back in November.

But its coming back by 2091.

The Roadster and Starman will come within a few hundred thousand kilometers of our planet in 2091, according to an orbit-modeling study. The authors of that study determined that the car will slam into either Venus or Earth, likely within the next few tens of millions of years.

As long as we are stating facts and blaming and shaming China and India on their activities, can we please get a full picture on the REST of the contributors to this debris of quoted total 10,000 pieces of space debris?

If China contributed nearly 3000, and India recently contributed 400, who did contribute to the rest of approximately 6600?

Not advocating that all countries should shoot down waste satellite and turn them into dangerous debris. Just wondering what standing does NASA have on this issue...?

It doesn't always work even then. Just look at the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands. We could have crisped half the population of Argentina in theory, but it really wasn't even a point of political discussion. The Taliban was complicit in the murder of ~3,000 US citizens but again nukes were not on the table.

Having said that, we can't automatically assume that would never provoke Britain or the US to a nuclear response, wouldn't provoke a more extreme reaction in another country in different circumstances. Britain and the US were never existentially threatened.
