Like I said, anything can happen. As far as I'm concerned, it is the customer's responsibility to show up for the appt. It is then the associate's responsibility to initiate the required services - whoever that associate may be.

On a personal note: As a customer, I take the concept of a schedule appt much more seriously than simply browsing.

With browsing: I am a tentative customer of a product. I am new business. Whether you want new business is up to you. If I have a bad experience, I'll go somewhere else.

With a schedule appt: I am a current customer. I have already bought into your product, and now I have an issue with it. If I have a bad experience, I am now under the impression that I have wasted money and time with consulting your associates.

I got in a yelling match with a traffic cop once. I tend to agree that it is not a winnable situation. They hold all the cards. I'm white so I walked away alive, but with a handful of tickets. All of which were dismissed by the judge. Lesson learned, don't get in a pissing match with a cop. You might still lose, but escalating it yourself is a guaranteed loss.
If I buy a chainsaw and accidentally cut my finger off I wouldn't assume that I have any legal right to sue the chainsaw manufacturer or the person who sold it to me.

At least not where I'm from - is this not the case in the USA?
Yes, that is a very pragmatic thing. But it is not the case now, where the sentiment seems to just be “freedom”, the kind of freedom you can only ever truly have in the jungle. I think we forget that the fruits of society have a cost, and it’s not just to the pocketbook of the wealthy man.
I don't think it's crazy. In a way, maybe doing nothing would be crazier.
In London, sometimes a bus will be held at a stop for a minute or three by dispatchers to “regulate the service”.

It's annoying when you’re on that bus, but it makes sense to try and avoid services bunching together.

(And occasionally when they do end up bunched together, the overcrowded bus in front will wait briefly so the empty bus behind it can pass)
> By guaranteeing that just about every man is matched with a woman, monogamy brings harmony and social order.

Without a patriarchal women-as-property model, monogamy demonstrably does not actually do that[0][1]; in a non-patriarchal, egalitarian system, removing the monogamy restriction might do that better than having it, even though monogamy is clearly better at that among strongly patriarchal women-as-property systems, where removing the restriction just means adopting polygyny where the more wealthy men have more women just like they have more of any other property.

[0] In the US only a little over 55% of adults are married, and by race only whites and Asians are over 50%, blacks at less than 30%.

[1] In fact, if women opt out of marriage in any significant numbers, and (given same sex marriage as an option) male and female homosexual preference is equally distributed (or female homosexual preference more common), polyandry is necessary to achieve almost-all-men-get-partners.

> It's a great refrain, yet after living through 40 years of successive privatisations, public-private partnerships and so on, it has repeatedly failed to deliver the promised better efficiency. Maybe one or two succeeded.

The rejoinder here is generally that nationalization also has a terrible track record. Even in domains where some governments have performed efficiently and well from the beginning, governments which take over from private owners often do quite poorly.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm in favor of privatization. It's entirely possible for both transitions to be primarily harmful, and indeed it's fairly likely if both are championed by people who see a personal benefit. There's a bit in Hitchhiker's Guide where a driver thinks the rain is so heavy his wipers aren't helping. When he turns them off, things do get worse, but when he turns them back on they don't get any better. I've heard multiple Brits cite this to explain the way nationalization and privatization of rail has worked: nationalization brought waste and unreliability, privatization brought gouging and line closures, but each left the harms of the other intact.

They might coordinate with TVA for transients (i.e. going from an idle machine to a full-machine run), but in normal operations these systems are at least 50% full. In my experience as a user these machines are more than 80% most of the time. I don't have hard numbers on the average utilization over the last week/month/year (these might even be classified), but you don't by and build such a machine to be idle.

I could find the numbers for two German super computers I have used in the past. SuperMUC (Phase 1 and 2 combined) had "above the desired 85%" utilization in 2017 and Hazel Hen at HLRS in Stuttgart reported a utilization "between 92% and 98%" in 2017.

> instead of having jobs they were stealing

If opiates were legal, it seems unlikely to me that any significant number of people would need to steal to support their habit. I lived in Canada for a few years, and had a friend up there who worked in an ER there. All of the drugs they used had price tags on them as an incentive to remind the staff how much government money they were spending when they used them. He told me the giant syringes full of morphine that they used for severe burn injuries were a tagged as a few dollars.

Here in Washington state, legalizing marijuana has driven down the price so much that it's actually hard for growers to turn a profit.

FWIW, I don't use either of them.

DTDL: Language for describing models and interfaces for IoT digital twins
General and obvious answer:
That means something can (theoretically) compute on it’s own, on the highest computing level.

Personal importance: something like mgtg and duplo train tracks, which isn’t intended to build a Turing computer, is used to build one, it’s challenging and a creative outlet of tech knowledge. My favorite example is red stone in Minecraft.
I don't know anything about mechanical shock waves due to rapid heating in the material but in terms of the weight of an additional heat shields and their effectiveness I've found this:

AVCOAT 5026-39 which apparently is an ablative heat-shield material for NASA's Orion (and has been developed during the Apollo years) has a density of 0.51g/cm³ so about half the density of water and one fifth that of aluminum (of which a guided missile is made mostly, I believe).

From reading some reports of the performance of Apollo era heat shields it's clear though that reentry is a way more gentle affair in terms of thermal load, than a 50kW laser in a 1cm2 spot.

The endured peak heat flux per area is about 0,48 kW/cm2 for the heat shield, magnitudes off, if the 50kW laser can achieve a 1cm2 spot.

The total amount of heat flux the ablator was required to endure results in a total amount of heat energy/area of 0,0141 kWh/cm2 - which 50kW in a 1cm2 spot would saturate in about 1 second. Reentry lasted 800-1000 seconds.
The Limits of Design Thinking
Take this all with some massive grains of salt. The language is very vague. When it comes to "shooting down" a missile much depends on definitions and locations.

An inbound air-to-air missile is a very tricky target. It is face-on. Your laser cannot target the explosive bits of the missile (the rocket motor that is active for the first few seconds of flight). But that doesn't matter. "Shooting down" can mean jamming the missile's IR sensor or damaging its radar dome, both of which would stop it as a threat. The real problem imho is the size of the emitting aperture. Focusing a laser tightly at any distance requires a device probably too large for a fighter aircraft.

Shooting down a missile from the side, from the ground or form an escort aircraft is another matter. Get it during the boost phase (the first few seconds after launch) and even a pinprick through the side of the rocket motor will cause it to explode. But in that scenario why wait for the missile to be launched? If you can burn through the rocket motor after launch, you can do so before launch. My point: any weapon capable of explosively shooting down misses in flight is also capable of shooting down the launching aircraft before it gets a chance to fire.

Oh, and don't forget that such weapons are probably illegal under various treaties. If it can shoot down a missile a one mile it can blind a pilot at ten. Pointed at the ground it could blind scores of troops. Some legal hoops would need to be jumped before one could ever deploy such a laser.
I tried Terminus too. I compared a whole bunch of terminals a while back at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/conemu-vs-hyper-vs-terminus-v...

I have no intention of ever using Hyper again but I did attempt to install 3.0.0 to see if anything improved just from a pure curiosity standpoint.

After running the setup program, it opens a green rectangle that animates. I can only assume that's the installer, except it doesn't let you customize where it gets installed to or anything like that. After 5 full minutes of animating without ever providing a UI hint that it's doing something (on an SSD), I killed the task. I guess I'll never know!
In game playing theory, an optimal strategy is a function that takes any state and tells you the proper next move. It does not matter how you got there

For MTG strategy to be computable you must be able to compute whether entering this computation is a good choice, which requires solving the halting problem.
A more fitting metaphor along this line would be if you bought a chainsaw-weilding robot and directed it to cut down some trees, and it instead cut off your finger. Once a product has agency and is making decisions of its own accord, if it makes the wrong decisions, I don't think it's unreasonable to say the person who programmed it has some level of responsibility, likely some kind of negligence.
Oh man. Your question really hits the nail on the head and what I think most people fail to realize about China's threat. China represents a form of capitalism divorced from democracy. Their message to the world is this: you can have a thriving, well-off authoritarian state at scale. We've had small successful authoritarian capitalistic states for a while now (Gulf States and Singapore). China is managing to do it at scale -- at Chinese scale at that. China is basically saying a model when people trade individual liberty and guaranteed human rights for security and prosperity is not only workable but even preferred. They're saying concentration of power in the hands of the few as long as those in power can give wealth and security to everyone else is the winning model. This to me is the real danger of China because of this allure of authoritarianism coupled with capitalism. I think people often forget that capitalism doesn't have to be tied to democracy and classical Western liberal ideas. There only needs to be just enough rule of law, property protection, and economic freedom for capitalism to flourish -- at least for the short term.

The USA didn't go to war against the Nazis until they had gone well beyond even the most terrible actions, let alone speech. Almost all of Europe had already been conquered, the last holdout in the UK was getting pounded daily and the US still didn't join until attacked directly.

The core difference between then and now is that America of the mid 20th century didn't believe ideas were inherently dangerous - even the communist threat led to at worst the McCarthy hearings which are universally regarded now as a stain on America's history. What we see today is lots of Valley Ivy League graduate types who are convinced that reading a few tweets of the wrong kind wipes people's brains and literally turns them into the third Reich, in ways that nobody can stop or control. But there's no evidence for this viewpoint, and arguably it just led to the largest and craziest conspiracy theory in American history (the idea that Trump is a Russian spy).

This is a reasonable belief, but incorrect. Philando Castile did everything he was asked to do, and was still murdered in front of his partner and child. There are many, many, many cases in which compliance gains nothing at all, and quite a few counter-cases in which protesting and waving a camera is likely (impossible to know for sure) the only reason people who are the subjects of police aggression are still alive.

Many people are not aware of these things off the top of their heads, but most black people--who are statistically six times more likely per capita to be killed by cops--definitely are aware.

I went to an apple store with my Mac. "New screen" they said after tapping through a questionnaire on their stupid iPad - $800 they said it would cost.

Looking at the picture of the test vehicle in that article, I can't imagine what that sensor suite costs. It looks like it costs more than the car itself.

Cruise acquired Strobe last year, a maker of lidar chips, and claimed the acquisition would help them "reduce sensor costs by up to 99%." There would have to be a lot of zeros in the current price for that to be anywhere close to achievable.

I'm not sure racism is the right term to use here. This seems more like the inevitable consequence of the cold, heartless, uncaring logic of politics, game theory, and capitalism. To paint it as racism sort of implies that somewhere along the line, someone who doesn't like black people decided to put the pollution there on purpose because of their personal prejudices. But it seems (to me) that this same thing would happen in a parallel universe to any less-powerful community, regardless of whether their marginalized status were due to race, language, legal immigration status, religion, inherited debt, etc.

Racism is probably an indirect cause in this particular case because it contributed to the community's lack of power. But I also think that labelling this as racism does more to confuse rather than clarify the issue, and points to solutions along the wrong axis. If the best solution is reduction of racism, then it makes sense to call this problem caused by racism. If it's actually best solved by economic policy or legal changes, then it's probably more helpful to phrase it as an economic problem or so on. Otherwise we'll be looking in the dark for a racist bad guy to punish and solve the problem, but we won't find one.
