> If the USA declared war when Britain / France did in the late 30s, then France may have not been overrun by the Germans.

Uh, no. The US wasn't capable of getting its troops to Europe fast enough in 1939, let alone supplying its troops. The Liberty Ship program only started in 1941. Hitler was already extremely dismissive of the capabilities that the Americans can provide, so any potential future threat the US might bring to bear would have been ignored in his plans.

> if we lost our Carriers at Pearl Harbor, Japan may have very well won the war.

If the Japanese had sunk the entire US Navy (Pacific and Atlantic) on December 7, 1941, and magically completed every vessel that they planned to construct for the remainder of the war on that date, and never lost another ship, and the US did not attempt to refloat or salvage any ship it lost in the magic death of the navy, by 1943, the US would have a larger navy than Japan.

Furthermore, how could Japan have turned even a decisive naval advantage into victory against the US? It lacked sufficient logistical capacity to contemplate holding Hawaii, let alone the US west coast.

> shear luck that our best ships were elsewhere during the surprise attack.

Yeah... no. In 1941, even the most enthusiastic carrier advocates would not have argued for carriers being the backbone of the navy (it's really not until the Battle of the Coral Sea that the value of carrier task forces over battleships is demonstrated). The Lexington and Saratoga were converted battlecruisers (admittedly, the best conversions, in large part because they were terrible battlecruisers), and were rather outdated by 1941.
There is an easy explanation:

“Fiat Chrysler is going to launch a new version of its Fiat 500 battery-powered vehicle in Europe this year, along with plug-in hybrid versions of its Jeep Compass, Renegade and Wrangler models. That, combined with the Tesla credits, should make the company compliant with Europe’s emissions rules, CEO Mike Manley told analysts in July.

While Fiat Chrysler would otherwise struggle to meet new carbon-dioxide emissions standards in Europe, the so-called open-pool option available in the European Union allows automakers to group their fleets together to meet targets.“ Fiat is paying Tesla for emission credits to meet EU regulations.

OK. I got downvoted on this. What is wrong here?
In the last year I moved out of Washington state in response to the passage of 1639[1] and other similar laws. Unfortunately I will likely be paying more taxes now since the state I moved to has an income tax while WA did not. I can agree that it is probably uncommon to move in order to be away from one particular law, but I doubt it's too uncommon for people to move to an area that shares a more common political worldview.

I'm not aware on websites with trustworthy writeups, I think the technology is too new. It's essentially all press releases and marketing pages.

I elaborated a bit on what the headset does here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22015098

As for how well it's worked, the biggest benefit for me so far is that it accurately informs me about how well I'm sleeping. Not just how long but also the quality of that sleep. That helps me control my otherwise eternally drifting bed times.

Aside from that, I appreciate the alarm clock function. It generally works as advertised and wakes me while I'm in a light stage of sleep.

Something I've been meaning to do is a poor man's study of various things that affect sleep, like light, ventilation, doing a calming activity before bed and that kind of thing.
I agree with all of your points. But there is more going on here.

Take a look at the top 5 strongest men in the world. They spend their days working out and probably burn more calories in a day than I do in a week. They have big, strong muscles that are covered over by a layer of fat. Same is true of many manual laborers today - landscapers, roofers, builders.

http://theworldsstrongestman.com/athletes/

Compare that to body builders (work out, eat lower carb/sugar) or concentration camp prisoners who are underfed (whether they do labor or are almost entirely sedentary).

https://www.google.com/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_q=concentr...

https://www.google.com/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_q=body+bui...

Comparing the groups (and my own experience) convinced me that eating (rather than exercise) is >80% of how much fat you will carry.

I'd say one of the biggest differences today is that sugar and carbs have become well accepted highly addictive drugs in our society. Feeling down? Go treat yourself to some ice cream! Is it any different with nicotine or heroin addicts?

I look at obese people in the same way that I look at nicotine or heroin addicts. It's not their fault, they're just normal people who are unfortunately caught in the tractor beam of addictive substances and they may not even know it. I didn't know it when I was a carbaholic. I thought I was fine -- didn't really connect my hangry episodes with withdrawal symptoms.

I'd consider a range of about a hundred miles or so to be pretty good for a commuter car, and that should be a reasonably light battery (especially if the rest of the car is light). You'd need a large battery for road trips, and it seems reasonable that most people who would buy a Miata probably aren't using it for that.
The multiple scandals, trip-ups, investigations and blunders at Google sounds very eligible to be turned into its own theatrical melodrama set.

Eventually? Probably did do the same thing. There are hundreds of individual fires across the country thousands of kilometers apart. With so many fires there were likely a lot of different ignition sources, lightning easily could have been one.

Thanks for replying. This is helpful stuff.

Did you pass either of those 2 Google interviews? And/or get offers from other similar companies?

> I only had one interview which had a different data structure (rope data structure) and the only reason he asked me the question was because I had never used it before. It was an intro question and if I said I knew it he wouldn't have given it to me. So I think if they give you another data structure, they are gonna assume you don't know it and will give you an intro question.

Can you explain that a little more?

Specifically: “they are gonna assume you don't know it and will give you an intro question.”

Rappi does have a competing app called Beat, but Didi is definitely where's it at here. Significantly cheaper than Uber (assume they're subsidizing it quite a bit.)

My wife uses Didi to go to uni on days she has pico y placa and pays barely more than a bus would cost, which is kinda crazy.
Your point about the distribution costs is true, but platforms have a huge role in shaping those costs. If they encouraged curation/filtering, the distribution costs of unwelcome content would increase. But platforms want to flood people with content for two reasons:

1. Induce people to linger longer, thereby increasing “engagement”.

2. Insert promoted content (ads) into the deluge such that they become hard to filter out.

So sharing/dissemination platforms deserve as much of the blame as any other factor.
Author here,

The linked dev.to post goes over recent features and bug fixes for the latest version of Run: v0.7.0

If you've been following run, I hope you'll find these updates useful.

If this your first time reading about run, and if you're at all interested in managing task runners and scripts, I hope you will give my project a try.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Thank you,

Perhaps I didn't understand what you meant by your post. Maybe you can explain?
I have to force quit apps all the time on macOS. I'll admit I also routinely forget the key combination, but that's just because the Dock makes force quitting easy, and the Windows task bar does not (afaik).
What I'm saying is that the cost of being on a non-standard distro is greater than the benefit the freenas UI provides. Even if you want to run RAID, it's one or two commands with mdadm. FreeBSD and ZFS makes everything more complicated than it needs to be.
The more reason to do them when it's safe.

I think the point is that simply stating one billion animals died isn't, by itself, very interesting. It also draws attention to an interesting fact, a fact which some believe deserves more recognition, that cats kill many animals.

As you say, the real issue is massive ecosystem destruction and rare and/or endangered species being killed. But that doesn't spread on social media quite as well as the feeling driven "one billion animals died!"

Interesting read (didn't read it like an essay about the complains of the privileged). It reminded me about a book: One-Dimensional Man (Marcuse), but adjusted into a more contemporary tech scene. Also, the idea of building a new company from scratch as the _real_ goal, seems to me like if the objective is the garden of lotus, not the lotus itself.

This. One of the many misconceptions people have is that you need a lot of space. No longer true with Quest. For those who have not experienced it, initial setup shows you the room you are in through the headset cam and you draw a boundary around the available space which can be as little as 2m x 2m. Then in use if you approach the edge of the space it gives you excellent visible cues (a wireframe wall around the play area) to show you are infringing on the boundary. It's very well implemented and makes playing in a small, non-dedicated VR space completely viable now.

Furthermore, it remembers setup for each space very accurately so setup is a one-time operation for each new space.
Could be both. Ultimately PR is ineffective when the level of issues outweigh the amount of damage control PR can contain
Without mention of Apple's plans for MacBooks, I don't buy this doom-and-gloom prediction. Remember that everyone thought AArch64 was DOA right up until Apple released an iPhone using it, and then all the other manufacturers instantly followed suit. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is the first to release a mainstream AArch64 desktop/laptop, and then everyone else follows them.
I'm trialing using AArch64 for desktop use. I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB desktop kit awhile back and it sucked in the beginning. So I did what most people do with their pi; that is to leave it unused and unplugged like a Nintendo Wii.

Finally after the firmware fixes came about to improve cooling a few months ago and it was advised to just run the thing set up on its side, I decided to revisit running a 'desktop' on it.

Raspbian, as most people know, is 32-bit and the idea is you can plug the microsd card it into any model of pi ever made and it'll run. This sucks for performance and you can't run a version of firefox made the past few years. Chromium isn't an option on a 4GB ram system, it's just not.

I eventually settled on using sakaki's gentoo pi64 build and it was fairly painless to get running. Unfortunately, she hasn't kept the build up to date and there's a lot of weird customization she performed to get things running in the early days.

Anyways aside from having it run some compiles overnight and finding a new binhost to pull prebuilt stuff from, it runs pretty well. Actually better than my Intel Atom powered GPD Pocket (as it does not throttle ever). All the hardware works, and I've had no video issues since switching to the 5.4 kernel. It checks most of the boxes that OP asked for aside from the RAM being limited to 4GB. Unlike more powerful options on the market, it's got a wide release and a low price point so developers will be working on it.

So yeah, there's your AArch64 desktop you can buy today that everything works on for around $50. If you want to improve performance a bit more for IO, there's SSD/nvme adapters for it, and while I'm unsure about hooking into pci-e, the device has it...

Oh, and the audio thing is dumb as hell to complain about. Just output the audio through HDMI to your receiver and call it a day. What's the big friggin deal that the desktop lacks a 7.1 analog output. If you want high quality headphone audio, USB audio is practically plug and play on any OS these days. I don't get it.

One thing that pretty much everyone underestimated here is exactly how good Musk is at finding other people to pay for stuff.

The loans from the Chinese govt...insane...he found literally the only people on earth (perhaps aside from German bankers, although they have lost too much money to carry on for now) that will light fire to huge stacks of cash with no hesitation.

Fiat are shrewd but he clearly had them up against a wall here. Genius.

I would still much rather take my money down to the track rather than invest with Musk but it is genuinely difficult to think of another CEO with as much capital markets hustle.
As iguanayou already pointed out it’s the type of rules a flight is flown under. As you might imagine it’s far easier to simulate IFR flying because it’s largely technical and about animating gauges as there’s little to look at outside when you’re in the clouds or even just high altitude.

VFR on the other hand is all about visual reference to what’s outside. To truly have a VFR experience in a sim you would need incredibly detailed rendering of the outside world which is very graphics and memory intensive. FSX from Microsoft came close but at the time it brought most hardware to a crawl with the settings dialed up and then MS abandoned the franchise.

If MS pulls off their new sim well we might finally be there where a decent VFR flying experience can be simulated when combined with a head mounted display that lets you easily look around out the windows. Time will tell though. I just read something today saying 40 FPS at 4K on a GTX2080. That’s pretty intense.

The author's description of what is a "desktop system" sounded a lot like a "no true Scotsman" to me. I've had several desktop systems that didn't meet all of the author's criteria - in fact, I've had desktop systems that met none of these criteria. And these systems did meet what most people would consider to be "desktop systems": box shaped, designed to be put over or under the desk, tethered (no built-in battery other than the RTC battery), internally expansible (not all-in-ones or NUCs), with a x86-32 or x86-64 processor, and booting with traditional BIOS and/or UEFI.
I actually use RAID6 with mdadm, and it's also portable to different machines. I was kind of surprised the first time I moved the array to a new machine and it all just worked.
Sorry, I'm aware everyone was/is doing it, and it's encouraged and acceptable. I see that's not clear from my message; I didn't mean to imply you made a bad choice.

the infrastructure in Europe for electric car was disfunctional until a couple years ago, with few recharge point mostly around large cities having incomplete coverage of ports.

The whole “white feather” campaign during WWI (women would hand unenlisted young men a “white feather” which was understood to represent cowardice and shame men into enlisting) really contrasts with the unemployment that British soldiers faced after the war: “no former servicemen need apply” was a common warning on shops in the early 20’s. They were treated like garbage before the war, during the war, and after it, too.

Absolutely agree with this. The first time I installed the uMatrix extension, half the sites were broken because they wouldn't load unless I greenlighted access to all the third-party servers. Only 30% of the sites I've come across didn't need tinkering with uMatrix to work.

PS: uMatrix disables loading of resources (IFrames, scripts, etc.) if it's not served by the first-party (i.e. The domain itself) domain by default.
Its a private association formed when a residential subdivision is developed. It sets up rules that the owners must follow in maintaining their homes. No junk in your front lawn. You might need to get prior approval for changing the outside of the house. Often times there is a monthly fee that goes towards landscaping or common amenities like pools. You agree to these terms when you acquire the home and subsequent buyers must do so also. After most of the homes are sold, the homeowners elect a board to run the association. Sometimes the members of the boards can be power hungry and vindictive. The homeowners can all vote to end the association at some point so older single family homes tend not to be under an HOA.
I have a tendency to do this sometimes. For me it helps to reframe the problem to a target spec. For example if I was making a 2D game I might get carried away with batching and atlasing things until I could draw tens of thousands of sprites rather than actually working on the game. Instead, if I write down somewhere: the game will have a maximum of 2-300 monsters on screen at any time, thus the engine target is 500 monsters at 60 fps. Then I have a clear pass/fail for the task, if I can draw 500 monsters then I'm done, even if I'm doing it in a dumb or brute force way.

Also, recognize that you might be drawn to working on problems you know how to solve and drawn away from problems you're not sure about. If you're good at optimizing code but not sure about handling player movement or whatever, you could be feeling the pull to do the thing you're good at.

I've visited Colombia several times on several cities and unless you're taking illegal cabs you never feel unsafe. The legal cabs are pretty clearly marked.

Uber could give you an extra layer of safeness as you're basically recording your ride, but that does not mean the cabs are unsafe there. Having said that, if I had to take a taxi to take me to my Uber, I will really feel unsafe.
