I read it as more of a "they actually like it better in the rich cities" which many people do not. Specifically the sentence "the people who could left in their teens to major economic centers for tertiary education and considered going back home worse than a death sentence." If a nuke were dropped on SF tomorrow there's a large number of people who would be like "welp, I'm out of a job but this is a perfect opportunity to move back to BFE". The same goes for every major city. There's a reason all (for smaller than average values of "all) the wall street types move either upstate or to Florida once they've become rich enough that they can either let their career coast or retire.
>> Basically, the ability for someone to log into my account by brute forcing or obtaining my credentials

If that is the threat you are guarding against, that is the very reason for using different factors. In that way, you ensure that people cannot log in with credentials, even if they have them.

In the same way, an atm card cannot get you money, even if you stole it. In the case of an atm card and a pin, you need two factor classes, what you have and what you know.

Regarding the other part of your prior comment that incorrectly used 2FA, that is why Apple uses the terms separately, "two factor auth" and "two step auth". They are not the same.
On it’s own I agree, but even fairly slow rotation such as 1 RPM becomes useful on edge cases. That’s not hard to achieve.

My point is if you find the minimum power output to be X kw, you want to deploy something at ~4x power output to deal with fairly easy modifications.

PS: Stealth capabilities is probably a bigger long term issue, but that’s a large modification.

Yes absolutely, all failures are announced in that same place on the PFD.

The pilot flying has eyes on the PFD continuously, only looking away for a few seconds at a time if handling other systems. Essentially when flying instruments you "scan" the 4 primary pieces of information in the middle of that screen every few seconds.

On top of that there is an audible reminder when a new failure annunciator appears, so even if they were on autopilot and not paying attention (rare so early after takeoff) they would hear it and look.
I think your friend was truthful.

Among the tricks of the trade is for government management to always ensure each year's allotment of money is fully spent. That way, the budget will remain at least the same and probably more the next year. (Too bad for the taxpayers.)

Power efficiency makes lasers in fighters problematic. The current cutting edge lasers have 35 percent efficiency. If you heat the target with 100 kW power, the fighter absorbs 300 kW of heat. You can use fuel to absorb the heat but heat exchangers adds lots of weight and extra complications.
Keep in mind that MPEG-1 was designed to give acceptable performance on the computers of the time, so it is a far lower complexity codec than those which came after it, and explains why current hardware can provide acceptable performance with it even with JS overhead. The standard widely-used codecs roughly have a history like this:

H.261 - first standard DCT-with-motion-compensation codec
MPEG-1 - B frames, variable rates and sizes
MPEG-2/H.262 - interlacing, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 subsampling, other minor features
H.263 (FLV) - mainly low bitrate improvements, introduction of intra prediction
MPEG-4 part 2 (DivX/Xvid, etc.) - more prediction modes, some very advanced and little-used features (3D shape coding?)
H.264 - different transform, even more prediction modes and features
H.265 - not really familiar enough with this one to say

Also worth noting that this isn't a full MPEG-1 decoder, since it doesn't support B-frames. The justification given in the documentation is "no modern encoder seems to use these by default anyway", but B frames are what gives MPEG-1 a significant compression advantage over its predecessor, H.261; so I'd consider this implementation to be closer to an H.261 with variable frame sizes and framerates, which is useful enough.

That's pretty amusing. The US has been far ahead of everyone else in military laser tech for decades.

Rheinmetall didn't demonstrate what you're implying. You're conflating two entirely different systems.

The US has so many laser programs that predate the Rheinmetall example, it's hard to decide where to start. HELLADS, AN/SEQ-3, Boeing YAL-1, HEL-MD, THEL, MLD, etc.

Like this one:

"On March 18, 2009 Northrop Grumman announced that its engineers in Redondo Beach had successfully built and tested an electric laser capable of producing a 100-kilowatt ray of light, powerful enough to destroy cruise missiles, artillery, rockets and mortar rounds."

Or:

Precursor to the Boeing YAL-1: "The Airborne Laser Laboratory was a less-powerful prototype installed in a Boeing NKC-135A. It shot down several missiles in tests conducted in the 1980s"

THEL:

"The Tactical High-Energy Laser, or THEL, was a laser developed for military use, also known as the Nautilus laser system. The mobile version is the Mobile Tactical High-Energy Laser, or MTHEL. In 1996, the United States and Israel entered into an agreement to produce a cooperative THEL called the Demonstrator, which would utilize deuterium fluoride chemical laser technologies. In 2000 and 2001 THEL shot down 28 Katyusha artillery rockets and five artillery shells. On November 4, 2002, THEL shot down an incoming artillery shell. The prototype weapon was roughly the size of six city buses, made up of modules that held a command center, radar and a telescope for tracking targets, the chemical laser itself, fuel and reagent tanks, and a rotating mirror to reflect its beam toward speeding targets. It was discontinued in 2005"

It's fascinating to see that almost everyone wants to move a zone eastward (except Indiana, apparently the state with the smartest people). This is similar to many of the original recent proposals for abolishing the twice-yearly time change in Europe, where many countries wanted to stay with summer time instead of going to permanent standard (or "winter") time. For most countries, this would be bad, especially in winter, when children would have to go to school in total darkness. Luckily in several European countries there is some grass-roots activism now to move to standard time instead. (In fact, I and many others think that France, the Benelux and certainly Spain should move a time zone westward, and move to permanent standard time.)

Russia moved to permanent summer time a few years ago, but it was a disaster and they moved to permanent standard time a few years later.

Well when its pennies compared to what you have to invest you are not really leaving anything. Which is bigger, the OS X market or the Linux market. When we say Linux, certain ones or all of them?

I understand where these companies are coming from. I would too love to have more games available to me on OS X but the simple fact is there are not enough customers to spend money to develop directly for it or even contract out to a software house to write a wrapper. Let alone how many complain how much the games or DLC cost are worse on some platforms compared to others.

Now it is more profitable to get cross platform with PC and game consoles.
How the Ohio State Treasurer secretly built the tech to accept BTC for taxes
Great summaries, thanks!

Particularly the part about most "visual" programming languages just providing visual versions of fundamentally Fregean representations, meaning not actual analogs of the things they describe.

That seems to be a (the?) fundamental mistake that's being made over and over again: we think that what we want is to create a visual representation, when what we really want is an analogical one. For some reason we equate visual with analogical. Now that's not 100% wrong, a really good analogical representation can and often will be visual, but that doesn't mean that just making it visual will also automatically make it analogical.

A limited comparison of C, C++, Go, Rust:

Go and C seem to have a large number of available software tools.

Based on the "size" of the reference documentation alone, C and Go appear to be the simplest to learn for beginners.

A beginner coming from a C background might choose to learn the "Go" language, of the 3 available choices: C++, Rust, and Go.

Other than it's declaration syntax, Go appears to have been designed to be the most familiar to a C programmer.

C++ is very large and complex, just look at the size of the reference documentation. The 4th edition of "The C++ Programming Language" doesn't even have an "Appendix A: Grammar" anymore.

Rust doesn't appear yet to be stable enough to even specify a BNF for it's grammar.

Of course, there are other programming languages out there that maybe are even better for a C programmer to learn, but we were not asked for our opinion of other PLs.
Until last year and for two years I kept an Etherpad Lite to do shared text editing and it was amazing. It was in use for three years. The only reason I stopped using it was Google Docs, who bought the company or IP for Etherpad, can do the same thing and therefore I don't have to do the Linux maintenance. I even had it use SQlite as the database and it could handle as many as 30 simultaneous users without a hitch.

Yes, Google promoted themselves on their own services, what's the problem with that? The influence gained from their prowess in web search was legitimate, I don't see a problem with them leveraging that. If chrome was garbage it wouldn't have helped.

And yes, Google's products and services work best inside Google's browser. There's no problem there either, they can stop you using them in other browsers completely if they like, it's their property to do with as they please.

You're free not to use chrome or any of Google's services, there are other options, so Google is not a monopoly.

Magic is played by taking a card from the top of your pile and following the instructions on it, then your opponent does the same. In normal games the decks are shuffled, but for this to work you have to be able to program the order of the cards in both decks. In this paper they program the game by constructing the decks using a subset of cards that all have mandatory effects.

I think what they do is set up a sequence of cards that 'initialises' the game state with various creatures and resources. These together with the game rules form the Turing machine. Then they have a sequence of cards that correspond to the 'paper tape' of symbols a Turing machine operates on.
AFAIK 60 the minimum number of cards you have to put in your deck, but (at the least at the times) there was not a maximum number.

20k is the number of unique cards, but you can put as much as 4 copies of the same card in your deck for the vast majority of cards. You can also put as many "normal" lands as you wish in your deck.

It’s easy to interpret that way without context. Black and Hispanic communities are always targeted for nasty development because they lack the political power to effectively resist and racist attitudes make it easy to explain things away.

It’s really easy to see this as FHA published maps with lending guidelines in the mid 20th century. The redline area (is don’t write mortgages) are black neighborhoods in most cities. If you look at the zoning map, those redline areas usually align with shared residential/industrial zoning.

Well, everything will move to 5. And the framework at 4.8 will stop being developed. And 5 ( Core, whatever you want to call it, ) is incompatible with the .Net 4.8.

Jet & turbine engines provide abundant horsepower at the tailpipe[1]. A cursory search suggests typical jet fighter has one or two electric generators in 70...90kVA range that tap power off of the turbines' shaft - mostly meant to run the internal systems and any electronic payload [2]. While a 50kW laser needs much more electrical power than the 50kW optical output, you can conceivably recharge a bank of its (super)capacitors pretty fast from the 1x or 2x 70...90kVA source. I presume much higher power electric generators are a perfectly feasible upgrade, and just not installed presently for sake of space & weight savings.

[1] there's no direct conversion as it depends on speed, but 266000 HP = 198 MegaWatt figure for a slow-flying Boeing 747 gives rough idea, as per https://www.quora.com/How-many-horsepower-is-a-Boeing-747-Je...
