That whole perception of Japan not having a military is just a technicality.....their "Maritime Self-Defense Force" is easily the 3rd largest and most powerful navy in the Pacific (after the US and China).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_Japan_Maritime_...

The "Air Self-Defense Force" has more combat jets that the UK's Royal Air Force, and almost as many as the mighty Israeli Air Force. The Japanese are just postured exclusively for national defense and territorial integrity....which many people don't realize includes the ability of executing credible counter-offensives to liberate lost territory. I would argue that until the past ~5-10 years or so, the Chinese stood no chance in a big fight out here in the First Island Chain. The qualitative AND quantitative differences between the Chinese and Japanese hardware were just that large.

It's interesting to look at the pushback from my fellow HN'ers when this first came out. I'm quite interested to know if many of them still feel that way.

The essay does not have any answers. The thesis is that the main problem is that most people don't understand that there is a problem or why it exists. That may have changed over the last ten years.

Back then I was quite concerned that I didn't have any good recommendations. The best I had was some version of "We need to develop a new set of personal values before they're programmed into us."

I still feel this way. As software continues to eat everything, I feel that the programming community is going to drug into morals, ethics, law, and philosophy whether we want to go there or not. We're at the heart of most everything now.
>I’d also like to add that I think lane splitting is wildly dangerous and dread driving in California. Surely motorcyclists die from this every year?

So it's a bit contentious, but from what i've seen, it's safe as long as it's done safely, which is a dumb sentence, but let me explain:

There are really 2 things that people talk about with "lane splitting":

* Filtering - moving up between stopped cars at a light to the front of the pack, and then driving away when the light turns green. Generally you aren't passing other moving vehicles when filtering, or if they are moving it's a few mph at most.

* Lane Splitting - This is when you are driving between lanes passing other vehicles that are moving.

Filtering is considered to be safer than not filtering. It reduces rear-end accidents (people tend to "look through" bikers, and will pull up behind the car in front of them like they aren't there, there's also your "normal" rear-end accidents, but they are much worse for the biker...), it reduces traffic (bikes accelerate faster, so getting them out front is helpful to reduce the rubberbanding traffic), and it's obviously nicer for the biker as they get where they are going quicker.

Splitting on the other hand is contentious. On the one hand I believe there have been studies done that shows it reduces fatalities. But at the same time it does actually increase accidents, but those accidents tend to be much less dangerous. Since a splitter should only be going 5-10mph faster than the cars, any impacts should be kind of like 10mph impacts, and are much less dangerous (obviously still dangerous, but much less than being rear-ended, getting left-turned into, or rear-ending something, etc...). And it greatly reduces low-speed rear-endings while sitting in traffic (a fairly low-speed fender-bender can be a lot worse when a small bump can throw you backwards off the bike and onto the ground!)

But splitting does have other benefits other than safety. It's obviously much faster for the bikers, reduces traffic for everyone, and therefore reduces environmental impact in many cases (less cars AND bikes idling in traffic). And there are also second order benefits that it encourages more people to ride bikes, which just increases the above benefits even more.

Still, it's my opinion that both Splitting and Filtering should be fully legal everywhere. It doesn't really impact drivers or those who don't split to have it be legal beyond a possibly slight increase in small accidents (there's an argument that if it is much more dangerous then it could increase healthcare costs for everyone too), and those who are okay with the risks can do it.

And obviously at no point should anyone ever be flying between cars going 20mph+ faster than the cars around them. That's not safe splitting, and that's not what I want either.
I want privacy and consider DNS an operational issue. I run my own stub and recursive resolvers in my networks to avoid relying on centralized entities on the system level and don't want random applications to bypass it and funnel even more information to google or cloudflare than they already get anyway. Today it's firefox, tomorrow it's shady phone apps that want to bypass content filters and ping their trackers.

DoH gains me nothing since I already tunnel the traffic to my resolver. What I really want is something like dnscurve.
You admit your comment is non-responsive to my point, which is that dang ideologically censors posts.

Do you believe a non-sequitur ad hominem was a constructive comment?

I’d prefer not to learn that style of social skill.

Your comment is also factually wrong: the reason that censorship for civility developed as a strategy is that it’s maximally effective suppressing ideological conversion for the amount of speech it suppresses. Your comment then becomes nothing more than “working under adverse conditions teaches resiliency”, which is true — but not a reason to stop questioning the censorship policy.

People do not rationally switch positions — they switch positions during an emotional cascade after a sufficient number of rational reasons have accumulated. That “avalanche” where an emotional spark triggers the awareness of a substantial shift in your beliefs.

These criticality events necessarily require an emotional trigger such a failing to be able to substantively reply to provocatively phrased arguments or the inability to factually correct mocking humor.

Civility suppresses precisely that: the emotional barbs in arguments and the mockery which might provoke a person to change their stance, in a substantive manner.

Rationality alone is all powder, no spark.

Culture Biosciences striving to make running bioreactors as easy as running code
I found fatigue mostly depends on the other traffic. In my 2003 Volvo S60 I can do 800km [500mi] of Autobahn with virtually zero fatigue (basic cruise control and better seats than in my living room) -- with little traffic and mostly cruising at 110km/h [70mph] (or faster if traffic demands it). Though there is not much difference to 140km/h [87mph] besides 20% better fuel economy.

Now, same car, same weather, but 50km (read: fifty) of heavy stop&go on a three lane Autobahn -> Kill me, please.

I'm looking forward to my next car with adaptive CC, that should eat a lot of the stop&go stress (also on my daily commute). But - to get to the point - I don't think that Autopilot will make things much better than that, since I still need to be aware of traffic and anticipate potential stupidities committed by other drivers -- and that's what's causing most of the fatigue for me.

What about all the wifi direct printers?

Inside my house, on 1/3 of an acre (so not up against neighbors), the strongest 2.4GHz signals I see are from 2-3 HP printers in houses around me. This includes my own 2 Ubiquity APs that are inside my house.

I even noticed that I have a device screaming on 5GHz .. an Nvidia Shield. AFAICT, I cannot turn that off, even if I disable wifi.

I hate wifi direct.
Why would it matter 20% or 700k as a seller I get the full amount from the bank.
Depends on your definition of Best. Consumer Reports called GM's SuperCruise "best".
No, no, no. Before the seventies student loans could be discharged and less than 1% of lawyers and doctors discharged them through bankruptcy. In general these loans were paid back.

Second point. Saying a loan should be dischargeable does not mean the loan shouldn't exist. It is a cost the lender has to assume. And before you point out that this will be inflicted upon the borrower in the form of higher interest, I have my doubts. The bearer of an additional transactional cost depends on mostly on elasticity, but basically there is so much profit in student loans right now the lenders will just make a lot less money, and nothing else will change.
> I'd rather pay a little extra and see progress equalizing opportunity in a world where complex skills are increasingly needed to succeed.

There's little evidence that modern college provides skills to succeed; There is increasing evidence that there is a shortage in trades.

Very possibly! Another reason to expand the public K-12 system to undergraduate level.
Yes, so it's virtually the same price as the equivalent model in the US. As others mentioned, the other problem is that the base model now available in the US is still months away for European markets.

That being said, it doesn't seem very appropriate to complain that a car advertised as $35k USD in the US isn't available for the same price in Germany.
The thought struck me that the interferometry technique used must have gathered data from a much wider field of view than of just the black hole.

Burried in that 5 petabytes of data is likely a scan of a much larger field of view at a similar resolution.
But you don't have to pay for college out of your pocket and you don't need to be rich to go to college. My parents were on the poverty line too, and I got in thanks to student loans that I will have no trouble repaying very quickly.

I'm not a car person, however, the interior of a Tesla feels horribly cheap in comparison to a quality made german car.

One of the cool things about this was that the data was too large to ship over the internet (in a reasonable amount of time). They actually shipped physical disks full of data.

For me it's not about orthodoxy. It's rather about teaching WHY we should do certain things instead of HOW. If we focus on the why, is sufficiently easier for people to decide this fits or does not.
TL;DR quote from the article:

Correct, you don't just "gift" them more equity, you have to pay more (usually a much higher per-share price) to keep that equity.

Reactions to this headline (not necessarily to the article's contents):

Even if the decisions have taken longer, perhaps they've been better decisions? And even if the growth could be greater, they've been successful with specific types of users for specific, lasting reasons?

At other companies, "growth teams" have been given permission from the C-suite to overrule all other product teams. Sounds like at some companies the growth teams have even been given tacit permission to overrule the corporate counsel's office. These are certainly ways to speed decisions, increase growth, and attract a certain type of highly skilled and motivated employee -- and they may not necessarily be in the best long term interests of the company, all of its employees, and its customers.

Org-mode's initial release was in 2003 (I can't find a specific month); Markdown's was in March 2004. So Org-mode predates Markdown by about a year. Personally, as someone who is not an Emacs user, I heard of Markdown years before I ever heard of Org-mode.

Roboto to me feels very 'edgy' and active, and less neutral than Helvetica.

Most Linux systems come with the Nimbus fonts as part of the printer drivers, and Nimbus Sans is very close, but apparently (AFAIK) only has a limited character set unless you pay for the full version. GNU FreeFont is practically the same as Helvetica and Nimbus but gives you a much larger character set for free.

Liberation is not quite as geometric as Helvetica/FreeFont/Nimbus.

Here's a comparison of a few fonts (the first is San Francisco by Apple).

https://i.imgur.com/SwxydqB.png

The 'r' and 't' in Liberation look quite a bit different than the first three, which are basically Helevetica clones. The ring in the 'b' also has a weird lower-left side. It's like 20% of the way to being a Serif font.

I haven't used MS fonts in a while but DejaVu reminds me very much of Arial, and to me it looks a lot worse. Especially the way the 'S' looks is quite awkward.

Not everyone needs to have the same experience. A common pattern is to make a responsive layout where CSS Grid isn't used on the smallest screens and that's the default. Many of the browsers that don't support CSS Grid are mobile ones anyway but even in a desktop browser they can get a not-ideal but usable layout.

You may never get to manage a cloud VM. You will probably never get to help decide how a CI build pipeline works, how engineering hiring should work, etc etc.

I'm not discounting your point about learning to develop software at scale, but your overall scope of responsibility is much narrower. It's a tradeoff.
Surely motorcyclists do indeed die of it every year. But it's statistically safer than not lane splitting if done properly.[0]

That's right folks: caring about what's statistically the safest thing to do after deciding to ride a motorbike.

Must be some good parents?
That seems like a silly question. What parents want to see their child fail because they weren't able to afford getting started? If they are capable of helping they are going to most of the time.

I don't doubt that this hasn't been as necessary in the past though.

This statement doesn't compute for me.
Many places allow you to set your own hours when things are good. The real questions is things like if you get in early to beat traffic and something happens in the afternoon can you still leave without being considered "not a team player" for not "just fixing that thing we need for the meeting tomorrow"? Is the same true if you didn't get in early?
Do they bother resolving internal domain names such as example.lan? Otherwise that would be stupid and leaky.

Yes. But note that it'll cost you about $1M per year to do this. There is no refund when you realise a week later that you have no purpose for .friendster or whatever, and you wish you still had $1M instead.

Several huge corporations bought the TLD for their long-winded name, and then it sits unused, because it's stupid. For example the TLD kerryproperties exists and is owned by the corporation Kerry Properties in Asia, but kerryprops.com is a much better name and so unsurprisingly the company's actual web site remains https://www.kerryprops.com/ and they just burn the money on the TLD for no reason.

I understand this was done by coordinating multiple telescopes to create a virtual earth size scope. Why is this not done more? It seems like cloud services would make this relatively easy to share bits technically. Are the issues mostly political or are there tech issues making this harder to do more often? Tangential question: if we can do this with an earth-size virtual scope, what could we do with a larger one? Scopes on earth/moon/Lagrange points synced together.
