> America was actually postured for a first strike,

Once the cold war was in earnest, both sides were capable of a first strike, and were also capable of successfully launching a crippling retaliatory strike. Hence the phrase "mutually assured destruction" describing the tension used to prevent either side from attacking.

> Russian airfields,etc being the highest priority targets,

To put the ancient information you're linking to in perspective, it's apparently 63 years old, prior to when the United States successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile.

Later, the highest priority targets for nuclear weapons were... other nuclear weapons. Specifically, things like hardened missile silos were targeted once we had ICBMs capable of targeting them accurately enough to destroy them.

> urban-industrial targets being lower down the list. After that, population centers were considered targets.

No. I don't have time to pick through the fifties-era document you linked to, but cities were never really a target. It's easy enough to understand why.

The serious damage done to population centers in a nuclear war would have been largely incidental. That would have been terrible enough. You don't have to target population centers per se when you launch enough thermonuclear weapons to cause a nuclear winter, and when a lot of population centers happen to be located adjacent to (or simply downwind from) your military targets. Those people are fucked anyway

If you have a really good anti-ballistic missile defense system, the game changes and you can target whatever you want. We haven't seen what that is like yet.
Actually dark matter clumps, e.g. so called dark matter halo of a galaxy[1]. It is seen from rotational curves of galaxies and can be also checked with with strong and weak lensing effects [2].

Yes, but this just upper bounds the interaction strength rather than constrains it to be zero. Additionally, if there are multiple species of dark matter, there may be subpopulations (up to 10%, I think) that interact very strongly without conflicting with observation.
You can’t “compete” in any meaningful sense of the word with a service that doesn’t need to run a profit because it’s taxpayer subsidized. To provide an example: many Asian cities have profitable private subway systems. Why can’t we have that in Washington DC? Because taxpayers pay $0.50 of every dollar it costs to run the Metro, and it’s impossible for a private company to compete with that.
You are right because, while I tend to be easy going, if I were that junior dev I would see having my write permissions taken away as a big F-U. I'd be polite about it, and begin looking for a new position elsewhere.
Chalk is really nasty on your hands when you're the lecturer. And nobody ever said "like fingernails on a whiteboard" for a reason.
A hash would still only work for the exact document. Suppose someone uploads a new version with a better table of contents, or with some added annotations [0]; now your hash no longer matches, while contentID probably will.

[0] Both things which could be copywrited, but I'll assume will not trigger the actual flag.
Maybe this is a chance for us to steal technology from China rather than the other way around.
No, dark matter will form halos even if it's interactions are solely gravitational. "Clumping" refers to much stronger concentrations from non-gravitational interactions.
I don't think it's an ulterior motive that churches want to help people be more spiritually healthy... it's part of the core function of the organizations.

> Why can't we just help them without a competing agenda?

It's only a competing agenda if you assume they're wrong. If better spiritual health complements the other efforts, it would be foolish not to promote it.

Your perspective is that proselytizing is undesirable is valid, but it does take quite a bit as granted.
Some issues that come to my mind with MQTT:

1. Most implementations are quite weak. E.g. the Paho implementation for C can't send and receive at the same time, can't publish multiple messages concurrently, and will block it's only execution thread for lots of seconds until the server might response. That might be ok for very low-throughput devices, but in general it's neither performant nor resilient. Libraries like these also don't track whether subscriptions already have been performed or not, don't perform retries, etc.

2. The specification has a few warts, that imho make things like QoS1 and above impossible to implement correctly. E.g. if a message is sent with a certain messageId and the server doesn't respond within a timeframe, the client can't really time-out only this publication. If the client forgets the messageId, continues to work and later on publishes a new message with the same Id (there are only 64k of those), then any ACK for that is ambiguous and the client couldn't tell for sure which delivery was ACKd. That basically voids the at least once delivery property. I don't any implementation out there blacklists the IDs in order to avoid the ambiguity (which would also not work long term anyway, due to the low address space).

3. Most applications want some kind of transactional or request/response semantics. Of course that can be implemented on top of MQTT in the application layer, but it's more tedious and error-prone than using a protocol which already enables it.

4. Lots of applications also want to stream bigger amounts of data for some use-cases. Implementing a multi-megabyte upload or download with MQTT requires to build a custom flow-control, retransmissions, buffering for out-of-order messages, etc. Or in other words: They are required to implement the equivalent of TCP on top of UDP.

Overall my opinion is that it can be used for certain applications, but it's actually a far weaker option than assumed. Due to the issue 1) and 2) I would recommend to mainly use QoS0 if talking to a MQTT broker is a requirement - and to move all reliability concerns into the application layer instead of relying on MQTT doing it right.
Yes indeed. You can capture either: just the current application, just one screen, or "all screens"

Some of the options can be seen in one of the screenshots:

I’ve seen this at BigCos. I just found it hard to figure out why someone got promoted and someone didn’t. It wasn’t a fair game where everyone was measured with same yard stick.

I guess this is what happens when we optimize for a metric.
This is strictly my own idiosyncrasy, I know, but it has stubbornly refused my many attempts to change it over the years: I cannot get used to the imperative. Do this or do that always signals some pending issue, something yet having to be done. Whereas a message saying did this or did that tells me exactly what I need to know, namely what the commit was about in the first place.

But then, my linguistic instincts are probably all slightly off: I have so far never gotten used to pull request not meaning 'kindly asking permission to download some code from your repo'. I really feel Linus should have consulted me on that one.
Yeah, I would consider "get everyone to agree with me on topic X" to be a very unsolved problem.
Furthermore, the iPhone X was intentionally only made with two antennas, even though the Qualcomm X16 supported 4x4 MIMO and thus gigabit LTE because Intel's modem at the time didn't support that. Once Intel could do it, they released the iPhone Xs which is the same body but with the correct antenna support.

That works, except for:

1. The large body of win32 code already written, maybe exceeds the quantity of future UWP apps.

2. The quality gap between what you can write with new and old stuff.

Maybe they have closed 2, I stopped paying attention a few years ago. But last I knew there was a bit of a chicken-egg problem where nothing substantial was being written with the new thing, thus no means for it to be validated and improve.

Also there is the general problem that 21st century Microsoft cannot compete with Windows NT. Can a new UI framework from Microsoft ever outdo the old stuff? Debatable. There have been several attempts.

> Convincing the South-central and Southeast US to start following track instead of American football

I grew up in Texas and Louisiana and went to school at LSU, which has the #6 largest college stadium in the US, so I'm well aware of how ingrained in US culture it is.

But culture changes. In 1965, 42.4 percent of adults smoked. It's hard to get more deeply ingrained in the American identity than the Marlboro man, John Wayne, and James Dean. Watch a movie from that era sometime. Everyone is smoking in it. Hell, in Alien, the crew is constantly lighting up and they're in a spaceship in the future.

In 2017, it was down to 14%, and that's for a product that is profoundly chemically addictive and notoriously hard to quit.

All we need to do to "fix" football is keep beating the "you're destroying kids' brains" drum and it will wither and die. Football depends entirely on culture and popularity. If it becomes less cool, less socially approved, it will fall. Especially when there are easy substitutes. If you still want to throw on a jersey and go to a game with your buddies, just go to the nearest baseball, soccer, or basketball game instead.
Yes, it is correct that clumping can be solely gravitational effect, though so far we have pretty vague idea about the density in those clumps and halos, which are mostly derived from N-body simulation, which are obviously model dependent, e.g. NFW profile [1]. If dark matter interacts with itself one can expect deviations from purely gravitational description due to dark matter analogues of pressure, temperature, viscosity, etc.

In the Windows version you can password protect the images. Because they're stored locally there hasn't been a massive uptake in this feature, but some people do use it.

The icon is not easily hidden from the task tray (and we don't provide any option to encourage that). We found a daily notification too intrusive (as users ourselves).
I do not see why the rest of the country needs to pay for this. I can understand why Holland has to resort to this sort of civil engineering, otherwise their country would cease to exist. For the US, keeping New Orleans afloat is just an unnecessary expense.

not really. countries go to war not because their populations are aggrieved, but because it economically makes sense for war. agrievments of the population are simply tools to motivate people, rouse and direct their energies towards the goal. if war is not the goal but rather peace, an interacting mesh of these tensions can be used to stabilize the population. direct their energy towards each other rather than towards creating change, for instance. I think you misunderstand the Dynamics.
> but correct takedown requests are a good thing

Not really, no. Anything that makes enforcement of copyright law harder is good in my book.

> If Scribd did not handle takedown notices and became rife with copyrighted content

Awesome. That sounds like it will undermine the copyright system.

Also, this has nothing to do with them refusing to handle takedown notices. They are handling them. They don't need a bog.

> they'd end up getting sued out of existence.

False. That's not how DMCA works. DMCA gives complete copyright immunity to platforms, as long as they respond to take down requests.

> The fact that they respect takedown notices is what keeps them immune from the lawsuits

Correct. That's why they don't need a takedown bot. The copyright owner hhas to spend the significant time and effort to send the notices themselves.
A suggestion would be to make that select values button to work or do something.
Python overtakes JavaScript as most questioned language on StackOverflow
`kustomize` is an interesting and useful tool, and it is cool to see it available directly in `kubectl` in 1.14. A lower barrier to entry is nice to have for tools like this. It is useful on its own, but I'm also looking forward to additional features like being able to reuse a single patch on multiple targets (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/issues/720). I'd also like to see a clear schema for what the YAML needs to look like and what the keys do. I wish it folowwed a similar pattern as `kubernetes` resources where each resource had an `apiVersion`, and the `kustomization` itself had an `apiVersion`.

Some newer documentation can be found at https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/ which is still a little bit barren, but I expect it to improve. Some of the older documentation can be found at https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/tree/a5bb5479fb... (before the tool was integrated directly as a subcommand)
I view it as being more like, the things that have advertising are pretty much only in existence because they can be funded by it. The fact that it exists in order to fund them is great because now we have a choice. We can visit those sites and endure the ads, or we can not visit those sites.

How would this work without advertising? Who would be paying for the websites that we enjoy?
After 40 Years, C-Span’s Founder Signs Off
Good tech summary. I grew up on Atari 8-bit and loved the technical details that got out. The C64 owners I met tended to hack less. I pretty much learned to code disassembling ROM and AtariDOS and making custom patched versions (and of course games). I would get into the zone with the macro assembler editor like I was meditating and say "I'm in medit" if anyone interrupted me.

Bill Budge's Pinball Construction Set blew my mind and I probably became a programming tool developer because of it.

Yes, PartsBox is (Electronic parts inventory & production: https://partsbox.io/). Some key points I would have told my former self:

* Do not expect any kind of explosive growth, especially in B2B. Expect linear growth. Search for "slow SaaS ramp of death" for a pretty good description of what to expect.

* Marketing is a huge problem. If you look around, you will see lots of marketers talking about marketing. In. Short. Sentences. With. Deep. Meaning. But then you'll notice that they mostly talk about marketing marketing apps for marketers. Unless you are building apps that help marketers market, much of this advice will be useless. And the short sentences are annoying.

* Paid ads are a waste of money, though I heard that with 4-5 digit budgets you can make them work. I never could.

* It is extremely difficult to get a working SaaS business at price points below $20/month. If you look around, businesses with these price points are VC-sponsored and are burning through investor money. I would not start a sustainable SaaS with price points below $40/month.

* When thinking about pricing, remember about support. There is no such thing as "no support", every product needs it, and it costs time and money.

* It's hard. Everything is hard. And there is always too much to do.

* Anxiety eats at you. No matter how good you are at keeping it at bay (I was pretty good), it will eventually catch up with you. I still don't have a good solution to that.

* If you pick a good niche, you can live in a world with nice and smart customers. It's a good world!

* When planning, be careful to set goals based on realistic financial assumptions. If this is to be your full-time job, it needs to support your business (including all hardware and office costs), you (your salary, insurance, retirement savings) and your family. People tend to vastly underestimate how much revenue is needed, especially if their past experience is mostly living with parents or surviving on ramen as a college student.

* I would not trade this for a "normal" job, ever :-)

Scribd is a massive piracy site that should be sued into oblivion if there is any justice. Only a very small amount of content there is uploaded with the owner's permission.
I find Scandinavians are much better English speakers than they give themselves credit for (they are sometimes deeply apologetic about immaculate English). Idioms, however, are the hardest part about any language and in English they are hard to nail without painstaking dedication to that language, to the exclusion of native speech in other languages. And that's how you get idioms like pull request, or Ace of Base "All that she wants / is another baby". The latter is supposed to mean "another lover" but it conveys "another pregnancy".
Are any of these resources good?
The premise is incoherent. As noted, they all see legislators with long noses and know how many they have seen, so there is nothing special about the day the Truon came visiting.

Second, they all know they are liars, nose or no nose, so they should have resigned immediately.

The only way the puzzle makes any sense is (1) the liars have a blind spot about their lies, and nobody ever gets on their case about the lies (nose or no nose), and (2) the legislature hasn't been meeting very long. The Truon just happened to show up before they would all have resigned anyway. So, you can't tell how many there were, because you don't know when they first met.

The blue-eyed islanders have the second problem.

Apple uses more die area for their chips. So it wouldn’t be cost competitive with what Qualcomm and Samsung ship.
As explained in the article, the same data is already being collected without the use of 'ping', so refusing to support ping is nothing but privacy theater (a la "security theater") --- at the cost of user experience. I'm disappointed to see Brave playing that game.

Apple has a LOT of servers. They just don’t sell them (well, they do). But they care a lot about it; they hired the Netty team to work on fundamental server software stacks (which we know because it’s open source). If ARM servers mean more power efficient data centers then I can see them doing it just for their sustainability objectives which is a major priority.
