OK I missed that part, makes sense. Realistically you could probably skip the blades and still kill all the occupants in the vehicle with just the seeker/body/motor. That's a lot of kinetic energy getting dumped into an enclosed space.
Glad it's more precise in theory, but a) why are we fighting again? b) So often they kill the wrong person anyway because it's so easy for them to kill, why bother with being extra careful on the confirmation? c) Trump, in 2017, loosened further the already weak safeguards on conducting strikes, so the number of civilian casualties has increased. d) Why are we fighting again?

EDIT: 2018 -> 2017, my how time flies.

It's not a misunderstanding, it's an opinion.

Brutalism is like the worst of modern art in that it's ugly unless you spend a lot of time and effort deliberately altering your preferences, but much worse because you can't escape it because it's architecture, not decoration. Brutalism, like so much of modern architecture, is for and by architects with no consideration given for people who have not spent tens to hundreds of hours learning to perceive striking, visually interesting but ugly buildings as beautiful.
You can join as many groups as you want.

Nope, they are deleting everything
I wonder if this would be a workable idea:

Create a service for long-term storage with an easy integration API; the idea would be that if you integrate your data with our service, and you eventually (maybe you're going out of business, or something) make a call to delete data, that data is first transferred to our service before deleting it on your end.

Integrating with us is basically like making a reservation in advance, so when you do perform the big delete like what's happening to these groups, it's offloaded to this service first.

I have no good idea about how to store/structure the data, or how it would make money. But I also have no idea if there's an easier solution to problems like this, where you force users to scramble to save all their stuff somewhere. People would also begin judging services by whether their data will be saved once it's terminated (ie whether you integrate with us or not), so I feel like that would ultimately bring in a lot of customers.
I think the point remains.

Now that this thing is out in the Wild we’ll see all sorts of attempts, however futile, to defend against it.
Weren’t they already doing the processing server side? If it were client side then it wouldn’t be costing so much to run git clone every time, as the download would be from GitHub to the user’s computer. It would be free, in fact.

My impression of the situation is that every user who tried to play would result in a new instance to spin up on Google’s cloud services and then begin downloading a fresh copy of the repo from GitHub. This is what cost so much in bandwidth.
I use the old desktop site for reddit on mobile. If you are using Google to search site:reddit.com, you can just select request desktop site first, then you avoid the amp nonsense too.
Why is it different or worse than low tech ranged weapons like a mortar or cannon that are also safe(ish) for the person firing, but also risk killing innocents bystanders?
The problem with that is the economics for many applications don’t favor elaborate test suites. If you’re building a saas software product where you can detect a bug, fix it, and deploy in a matter of hours, and wherein developer velocity is among your most important metrics, an elaborate test suite is a liability (note that the suite spot is not “no tests” but somewhere in the middle) as it makes changes slower. Dynamic languages work reasonably well for these categories of applications, although some static typing can help improve that iteration time.
This is the introduction to Zig from the language author that I watched when it was first posted here a while ago:

The game's GitHub page[1] states that you would need a "beefy" GPU ~12 GB and CUDA to play the game locally.

I think that's why the author was serving the game through Colab since the majority of users probably don't have a 12GB GPU.

This sounds like an echo of liberal ideology.
EFT is one of the few couples therapies that has any sort of scientific track record. I looked into it a few years ago and it may have saved my marriage.

I highly suggest a therapist to guide you. They serve as a referee and coach (an impartial person who can call bs or timeout) to get you out of bad communication patterns between you and you significant other. I doubt you could turn this into an app because both partners are effectively learning to relate to each other in a more sustainable way.

I highly recommend this for married couples needing a tune-up and pre-marital couples who didn’t grow up in an environment with parents in a stable relationship.
...like the Clover EFI bootloader? Does this work? I boot into Clover's UEFI "shell" (?), which then emulates a legacy BIOS and then boots me into Windows 7? Is this plausible? Has someone tried this out?

I'd still have the problems of no drivers, but it's a step closer...
To play backseat problem solver... You have free ingress? So start up a few $5 DO droplets and serve files from there. That gives you 1TB transfer per month.

I haven't tried this, but my understanding is that's per droplet. So when drop A is about exhausted, start B and switch over the traffic. Then shut down A. Then start C and shut down B, etc. Unlimited transfer? (Until your account gets banned, anyway.)
though there's some comparative analysis the point of survey papers is to trace to the history/lineage of current state of the art (it's for researchers after all).

This question really involves around what civilization is, and how durable one thinks it is. Depending on viewpoint, there have been countless collapses of civilizations, and it is quite reasonable to consider ours at risk.

What do you view a collapse to be like? It doesnt have to a post apocalyptic wasteland. All we need is for enough base assumptions to break, and then things start to domino out of control. We have lots of triggers, and so far (from my bubble) the stability of the system as a whole has prevented any local collapse from growing too big. But looking at the many localized collapses of my lifetime doesnt really fill me with utter confidence.

Everything is built on trust of the system, but as that trust grows fragile it gets easier for the next problem to grow, and every unanswered problem reduces stress on the system.

I've been reading into the Bronze Age Collapse and...in my uneducated, anecdotal view, it feels painfully possible.
To give back to the institution that helped shape them? To enable that institution to be more successful at what it does? Because funding for education has fallen precipitously in the last few decades?

There are arguments against big endowments to famous institutions. But for more modest schools, seems like a no brainer.

Nobody is obligated to donate anything. But giving back is one of those things that every successful society promotes a lot of.

I also can’t resist pointing out that even a million dollar grant which would hardly even register to Brin would go a long long way in funding a school that’s not doing all that well.
Why do you need the receipt itself for fast food or gas? I categorize transactions once a month based on the statements, if something looked crazy I’d dispute it (never has).

I do take photos of larger dining receipts, since errors can be made entering the tip after I’ve left. Usually anything over $75 I’ll take a photo.

Seems unnecessary to me to spend much time on the noise since I can see in aggregate if some behavior like eating out is problematic.
If you’re a bystander, what you want is for foreign governments to stop firing ammunitions at you. No ones saying that precision targeting isn’t the lesser of two evils, but the “anti war press” is outraged for a reason: the number of innocent people the United States should be murdering is not “fewer,” but zero

I was like if m in mX is a monad, how is m not a function? Or if it is a function, how is it different from functions in general?

Googling, I found the following helpful comment:

"...while addition and multiplication are both monoids over the positive natural numbers, a monad is a monoid object in a category of endofunctors: return is the unit, and join is the binary operation. It couldn't be more simple. If that confuses you, it might be helpful to see a Monad as a lax functor from a terminal bicategory"
I used to think of space as big and empty - and indeed, this map invokes that feeling a little. But since reading "Out of the Silent Planet" I have come to see it a different way.

He had read of 'Space': at the back of his thinking for years had lurked the dismal fancy of the black, cold vacuity, the utter deadness, which was supposed to separate the worlds. He had not known how much it affected him till now-now that the very name 'Space' seemed a blasphemous libel for this empyrean ocean of radiance in which they swam. He could not call it 'dead'; he felt life pouring into him from it every moment. How indeed should it be otherwise, since out of this ocean all the worlds and all their life had come? He had thought it barren: he now saw that it was the womb of worlds, whose blazing and innumerable offspring looked down nightly even upon the earth with so many eyes-and here, with how many more! No: Space was the wrong name.

But they're not. The warning they gave was a trigger warning in regards to the video, where it quite prominently showed a man beheaded. The article itself was level-headed and seemed to portray the developments with interest and a healthy dose of respect.

I understand your general sentiments and while I would usually agree with you, it seems your criticism is misplaced here.
I don't understand why there aren't popular client-side tools that do this sort of thing. Not only is that hugely better for security (no third party sees your credentials or your data), it's much harder to distinguish from automated centralized scraping.

Mint apparently was able to get some users to install browser extensions. I believe RECAP and Sci-Hub work this way too. So why do trusted-third-party scrapers remain popular?
There's also micro [0] which is a lot like nano in many regards, but has a decent scripting engine powered by Lua.

You might be able to do this with the droplets like you said.

With DO Spaces, it’s a $5/Mo subscription to spaces. You get 250GB of storage and 1TB of transfer. Anything more costs 1c per GB transferred and 2c per GB stores. You can create as many buckets as you want.
C, C++, Rust, Go, etc have no special distinction between reference types and primitive types but rather everything is a value and some values are pointers/references. In a language with operator overloading, I don’t see why you’d ever want to check string identity by default. Interestingly, Go doesn’t have operator overloading but it treats strings as a special case including doing a string comparison for ==. Not saying this is better or worse, although no one makes mistakes with string comparison as far as I’m aware, for whatever that is worth.
That’s the real story here. Paying market rate for bandwidth is like buying soda from a restaurant. They’ll gouge you and make a profit but you’re thirsty and it’s too late to shop around.
It’s definitely a less-bad thing than explosive missiles, but is it really a good thing? The option to not fire the missile, to not meddle with other countries, to not kill another person is always there.
It's almost an existential horror. At the same time, I wonder if the same applies when you try the same thing at a much lower order of magnitude.

From the perspective of light, eight minutes from the sun to Earth is a trip to the local shop. 7-ish hours to Pluto is a flight across the Atlantic or a rush-hour drive from Manchester to London. By that logic, the distances are only impossible because we don't live long enough to know what it's like.

What if you go smaller? What is the space between one land an another for a bird migrating south for the winter, looking down at nothing but blue and up but nothing but a different blue? What about the space between one bacterium and the next? Or the distance between an atom and its orbiting electron from the perspective of the atom?

What if you take it further and look at your connection to other people as your own gravitational pull? You might have gone through a fair bit of nothingness before you found them.

Turkey is complicated... however, the US backing awful sides while doing realpolitik is famous, we've even backed Al Queda (!!) which undermines entirely the thin public justifications for even being there which seems to be more about securing oil, militarizing a central economically important region, and preventing Iran from gaining influence (why?) and failing given they took control of Iraq following the (baldly illegal) US invasion. Meanwhile we back an absolute monarchy that did 9/11 (probably) and threatened to do it to Canada on Twitter (lol). [0]

I have never seen a mainstream liberal to push "equality of outcome" ideas. I have seen liberals push for detailed understanding of what leads to different outcomes and for "equality of opportunity". And I have seen only far right people bring up the notion of "equality of outcome", usually as a strawman as above.

And yes, being against the government helping with upward social mobility (the only way I can rephrase what you described, but I sincerely hope you will correct me if I misunderstood) is certainly part of modern American right wing politics.

I don't think that functionality is too common among Electron apps? You can't increase the size in Bitwarden, for example.

I'm surprised you found the options in System → Displays too blurry. How long ago was this? Modern macs have such high screen resolutions that the slightly uneven scaling shouldn't be a problem. Indeed, on many new Macs the default resolution is not evenly divisible by the screen resolution.

On your non-retina Mac, you could use QuickRes to force "retina" resolutions.
Don't most air to air (or surface to air) missiles operate on a similar principle? The explosive warhead itself is not usually what destroys the enemy aircraft, but rather, the warhead is set to detonate within proximity of the enemy plane, releasing a bunch of metal shrapnel that acts like a spinning buzzsaw and literally shreds nearby aircraft to pieces (look at pictures of the recovered MH17 wreckage for evidence of this pattern).

> The aim of the missions was to track, and when the conditions were deemed right, kill suspected insurgents. That’s not how they put it, though. They would talk about “cutting the grass before it grows out of control”, or “pulling the weeds before they overrun the lawn”.

> And then there were the children. The airmen would be flying the Predators over a village in the tribal areas of Pakistan, say, when a series of smaller black shadows would appear across their screens – telling them that kids were at the scene.

> They called them “fun-sized terrorists”.

> Toward the end of his service, Haas switched to training new recruits in the technology of drone warfare. That shocked him anew, as he discovered that many of the younger intake were gung-ho about the power they wielded at their fingertips. “They just wanted to kill,” he said.

> He remembers one training session with a student in which they were flying live over Afghanistan. The student said that a group of people on the ground looked suspicious.

> Why? Haas asked. Because they look like they are up to no good, the student replied.

> Would you act on that? the instructor asked. Sure, the student said.

> Haas immediately pulled him from his seat, took over the mission himself, and promptly failed the student. “I tried to get the students to understand that preservation of innocent life had to take priority.”

> Because he failed the student, Haas was later rebuked by senior officers. They told him that they were short of bodies to keep the drones flying, and they ordered him to pass students in future so that there would be a sufficient number trained and ready to go.
On the contrary, the idea the US government created this money from nothing is the backwards perspective. How does government deficit spending happen? Via the sale of debt (ie. Treasury bonds).

The reason people are willing to buy US government debt is because they are confident the US government will be able to pay them back, with interest. Why are people confident in the US government's ability to pay...and where does this money come from? The strength of the growing US economy and the money the government will derive from taxes on this growth.

Or conversely, let's look at what the US government spent that money on: supplying the war machine via US industrial capacity. That industrial capacity wasn't created out of thin air. Take a look at Detroit for example. Absent the existing industrial capacity enabled by the automotive industry, the allies would likely have not won the war.

Both the ability of the US government to deficit spend, and the things they spent that money on, were a direct result of the strength of the US's private enterprise.

But I look at Amazon's Bezos and count myself relatively lucky to be living on a timeline where the magic beans that became Google ended up in the hands of someone quite UNLIKE him.

Sinking money into moonshots (though sometimes misguided) and a diversity of experiments; that is much better than Bezos' unartful "growth above all else" mentality.

Withhold wide-scale, anonymous access for a few decades maybe? (Though presumably there is a middle ground that doesn't involving leaving _everything_ inaccessible for a few decades.)
The narrative direction for "drone strike tech" doesn't really allow us to ask "what is this for again". The main direction of the narrative is supposed to be "wow, look at how many more "terrorists" we can kill without killing civilians". Of course, the whole process for who and how someone gets slapped with the plastic term "terrorist" and how it's decided they should die isn't to be brought into the picture.

Nobody is firing an anti-tank KE round out of a drone. If an AC-130 is shooting at you well then you have other problems. For someone who is particularly concerned about this threat model it wouldn't be hard to stick a concealed plate in the roof.
