An example I'd encountered was a set of papers out of the US Naval Research Lab on fuel synthesis (electricity + seawater => hydrocarbon jet fuel). The citations dated only to the mid/late 1990s, though it turns out prior art and development date to at least the 1960s (for electically-based fuel synthesis), the 1930s if Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from coal is included.

My personal preference is to use "on-prem" because:

1.) There are arguments but no definitive justification for choosing between on-premise and on-premises.

2.) A lot of what gets lumped under on-prem is not actually on your premises anyway. It's in a colo or a managed hosting provider, etc.
It'd be an interesting idea. I'm not sure about all of the features needed. I'd add that it'd be helpful to have a place to post sources, possibly with dedicated discussion. Both sides would have a chance to critique each others sources before the debate completes.

According to several authors I have recently read, the trick is along the lines of Keto - Switching the body from carb burning to fat burning for energy.

And as stated in comments below, the hormonal differences are also claimed to have a bigger influence than just calorie counting. How those calories are processed (glucose versus fructose versus sucrose - all with potentially different mechanisms, from what I have learned) are treated differently by my body than how saturated fats are treated.

For example, there seems to be proof that saturated fat processing by the body sets the satiety signal more thoroughly than carbohydrate processing, and for longer duration. I feel less hungry, sated, so I eat less. And now when I eat, I focus more on the inclusiveness/variety of the source foods to make sure I am getting a more rounded spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and other vital components our bodies seem to require for good health.

It has so far been a fun experiment, unlike other attempts I have made in the past.
"Mitsubishi has been developing a turbine for 1700C inlet temperature, and it seems they are getting close."

And how long does the blade stay together? What happens to the blades if a foreign object is ingested? These blades are being made to run at T that make them very ductile, the centrifugal forces literally bend the blades.

Mitsubishi isn't the only one trying to increase the T.

"Second, it is possible to reduce compression losses in 3 spool designs." And increase the losses due to mechanical coupling and decrease reliability.

"Lastly, it's entirely possible to slap a recuperator, intercooler, and reheater on the engine if things will get too desperate. " At what weight and aerodynamic cost?

Its not my intention to contradict you, but to highlight that it's not obvious that any of these things will ever commercially.
One possible route would be for Netflix to become an infrastructure provider for other streaming services. Essentially a white label streaming video library platform.

But are "Asians" who live in the US a representative sample? Or might there be some distinguishing characteristics of immigrant families, compared to those in their home countries? Also, Singapore has two main ethnic and socioeconomic groups with different culture, cuisine, genetics, religious habits, and so on, which is almost certainly not the same composition as "Asian-Americans" however that is defined.
Characterizing this software feature as an "attack" or "backdoor" is pretty hyperbolic. In order to abuse multiplexing, the adversary needs local code execution ability, by which point you've already lost.
The lawyer could challenge Rule 68 (settlement being 5 times cost). As long as he can win on that point and 1cent more than the 5 times settlement figure, Mango the photographer doesn't have to pay Democracy Now legal costs. Besides Mango maybe able to prove his costs in tracking down copyright theft is greater than 5 times, which will make Rule68 seem out of date. For example, there might be a company offering copyright theft tracking services which could inflate the costs making the Rule68 5 times settlement out of date.

Will be interesting to see how this goes.

Maintenance?

Catapults are notoriously finicky and expensive to operate. Also the additional stresses on the airframe couldn't possibly reduce maintenance. If anything (assuming they could withstand them), they would require more inspections.

Catapults only solve the problem of not having enough runway. And you'll notice that fighter jets taking off from carries will be on full thrust and full reheat.
Isn't that irrelevant as far as Google's usefulness is concerned?

The internet is always going to be in constant flux: SEO trickery, the rise and fall of sites which contain the most relevant data, context of the search (browser -> phone), etc.

Google's main job is to make it as easy as possible for a user to find what they want. For example, as a techie, 15 years ago that might have meant making sure to constantly index usenet and various mailing lists. Today most of that content is at StackExchange, Github, Reddit, etc.

And it's not just tech searches - everyone will have their own niche which Google once got right and often returned as the very first result (when was the last time you were confident in using the 'lucky' result?), and now, not only do they not return relevant results, whatever they do return is mixed with tons of ads and (probably) paid results that aren't marked as ads.

The fact that Google doesn't yet pay dividends while the MBAs there are apparently intent on destroying the company's main product as fast as they can, doesn't bode well for their share price going forward.
I am still not over the fact that Oracle ruined Sun. :( I used OpenSolaris for a long time and I liked it!

> That's quite an optimistic assessment of little children.

I'm not sure if it is. Little children lack preconceived ideas, and, often, inhibition. That combination is a good recipe for accepting the unknown and coming up with new ideas. That is not to say they can't be cruel at times.
The first and most obvious way that Google showed users more ads was by literally inserting more ads into mobile search results

So if it wasn’t already clear why Google never allowed any type of content blocking framework in Chrome for mobile and iOS has had it for five years, it should be clear now.

So Google pays Apple a reported $8 billion a year to be the default search engine while Apple still builds in a framework to block those very ads.
Thanks for sharing whimsical. I just played around with this for a few minutes and I found it enjoyable.
Curious - do you allow them to track your browsing history and/or are you logged in or do you block and stay anonymous-ish?

I’m in the latter camp and wondering if their inferences are just getting better if they have more of your data. Still not willing to give it to them willingly to get better results, but it would at least explain a few things.

Or it might mean they'd get a lot of business that would go to another nearby ER.

China's EV market may contract this year due to subsidy cut
It's not like what you propose hasn't been tried before. The main practical issue that I don't see this post address, is the combinatorial explosion that stems from fine-grained sandboxing of any complex application. There are bound to be executable paths through the state space that both pass initial muster and can be used by an attacker to craft a sandbox bypass.

In other words, finegrained sandboxing does not solve the problem. It may be an improvement on the current -dismal- state of affairs as far as ecosystems like pypi or NPM are concerned, but I don't see how it addresses the main issues in any sort of practical, real-world environment.

Something that definitely works is that which security-conscious orgs/teams/persons currently do: ownership and curation.

Ownership implies minimization of 3rd party dependencies.

Curation implies strict quality (incl security) reviews and relentless culling of code that fails them.

The distributed engineering model that you advocate for where code is being pulled-in from hundreds of disparate sources outside of one's control is _fundamentally broken_.
>actually declaring facts are not that important,

That's not at all what the article states and you stating that in your response puts into question the rest of it.

Of course! In Classic Greek there's a rich and nuanced meaning that we're still mining today!

In ancient Greek, however, say 1000-650BCE or so, it's much more murky, with "story" or "account" being the best we have right now.

From Wiki, "...What logos means here is not certain; it may mean "reason" or "explanation" in the sense of an objective cosmic law, or it may signify nothing more than "saying" or "wisdom". Yet, an independent existence of a universal logos was clearly suggested by Heraclitus..."

There's a whole other story about how beginning with the Sophists and then Plato and Aristotle the word started taking on the depth it ended up with. This journey in meaning was not the topic of my comment.

I agree that a lot of show breeds are not humane endeavors but there are lots of working breeds as well. Making it illegal to "kill puppies" with no exception means the breeds we have will be more or less the breeds we will have for thousands of years to come.

I write these posts because there is a lot of sentiment here and elsewhere that is frankly anti-science. In direct relation to the example, anti-GMO advocates and the FDA have strongly resisted the DNA modification of dog breeds and other nonconsumable organisms so frequent litters and culling is all that is left. Looking further back you see the same thing with chemistry and biology kits, with electronics kits, etc; the end result being if you do anything more than go home to watch TV or play golf you are assumed to have some fantastically dangerous hobby that gives babies cancer.

I imagine I will be breaking down into different services as well. An ML "blackbox" that makes a call to the back-end for data and returns a result/prediction. This could happen through an API. What kind of API to choose is still open.

I'm not very sure what you mean when you say the ML results were pre-computed?
Sure, and I'm trying to be objective but I believe my assertion is universal. If your content is poor, your return is poor.

Perhaps the publication should look inward, not outward, and realize the lines between misinformation and satire are paper thin. Somehow, and perhaps its branding, The Onion manages to maintain humor and absurdity with very little room for interpreting it's content as anything but satire.
I'll add some other factor: emitional.

Old web was a mess of people making things as expression, excitment. I think it matters to feel being 'connected' to someone rather than parsing a rendered data structure.

I felt the same reading old encyclopedias, you can feel the author way of thinking a bit. It feels a bit more enjoyable.
Even if you disallow command execution on the bastion (good idea), this will still allow an attacker to pivot to servers behind the bastion. The whole point being that the strong auth (e.g. MFA) enforced by the bastion is a roadblock to pivoting.

Shared memory can certainly do this. Even separate processes can use shared memory to communicate lock free using atomics.

Other than that, I wonder if nested page tables that are normally used for virtualization can be used to separate address spaces within a process.

IMO, this is the biggest change that helps me sleep at night and starts with treating all servers as cattle. For me it means every server can be rebuilt and deployed at the press of a button which leads to having failed health checks automatically redeploy servers.
Makes perfect sense. I look forward to seeing your work when it's ready! Please feel free to ask if there's anything we can do to help, or if you run into any areas where the APIs could be easier to use.

FYI, the "Standard" Netflix plan offers 2 simultaneous streams in HD for $12.99 per month in the US. The "Premium" plan offers 4 simultaneous streams in UHD for $15.99 per month.

But anyway, I only have one screen, so it's still the case that Netflix charges considerably more just to receive UHD content. As price discrimination goes, that's a pretty scummy way to do it. They've shot and produced this content in UHD, yet they give a much lower quality version to their base customers. I know they have every right to do that, and it might make business sense for them (since people with UHD TVs probably have more disposable income), but it has always felt scummy to me.

> For instance, if a game wants to support mods via wasm, it could give the mods APIs to the game world but not to the network or filesystem.

This is, IMO, pretty huge. I'm building a game right now that supports clientside NodeJS mods, and figuring out sandboxing has been a huge pain. Similarly, I've been trying to figure out how to sandbox some of our dependencies at work and in personal projects.

I want to be able to let someone mod my games in any language, and distribute them however they want, while still providing guarantees to my users that the worst a mod can possibly do is maybe freeze your computer or something.

So much of the problems the OP describes ring true to me; it's a very exciting project.
Basically, the union puts teachers before students. Which doesn't sound too bad, until you realize they always put teachers before students. They make it impossible to fire teachers who are known to be awful, even when they've been offered incentive programs to eliminate bad teachers (they would literally be paid to fire bad teachers).

This doesn't sound too bad, until you see what happens after decades of rot. The American education system, according to anyone who's ever tried to fix it, is legally unfixable so long as the union exists. That union can block any change from happening, and they block everything that would threaten any teacher. The reason we don't hear more about this is because rich people send their kids to private schools. I'm not saying the education system is simple and eliminating this union will magically create the best education system on Earth, but I definitely believe they single-handedly share more responsibility than everything else combined, including poor funding for public schools.

While it's obviously trying to convey a message, I'd strongly recommend the documentary Waiting For Superman.

Where are you seeing that in the decision? If they thought it was abusive, they'd throw it out. Requiring a bond to be posted is not the same as finding it to be abusive.
The point isn't that the scammers read the junk you send them.

It's that they had to pay for you sending that junk to them, which increases their costs. (But it would take a lot of people doing the same to make a dent.)

The effects of an ever-higher velocity of fake news isn't clear, but there is no "solution".

Real news not believed, fake news believed has been an unsolved problem for a long time. For example, the history of medical advances show doctors not believing exceptionally solid science in many cases.

There are a number of quotes about progress along the lines of "First they say it's impossible, they they fight it, then they say they believed it all along".

This is a people problem and a media velocity problem going back to the famous quote "A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes."

You can't stop people from believing a lie after it has been released. Removing the lie doesn't help. "Reputable" sources not repeating the lie doesn't help.
