If you have never read it, I high recommend "The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki" by the Manhatten Project [1].

There are some facinating technical details (in particluar the way heat reflected in the hills of Nagasaki) but in general it makes for grim reading.

I was always struck by the contrast between the dispassionate analysis in the report and the final eye witness account in the appendix.

I always had the feeling that they knew what they had done and knew that it was wrong.

An easy way to debunk it is to point out that the RF power spectrum of a typical 5G device is basically the same as a 4G or 3G device. The battery sizes are the same! It's not like suddenly every mobile phone is hooked up to a Tesla battery and got water cooling so that it can put out kilowatts.

The difference between 3G, 4G, and 5G is largely the protocol, not the radio power!

The reason we can have 5G now, and not twenty years ago, is largely due to Moore's law. It is now possible for embedded and mobile devices to have sufficient computer power to "talk" using much more complex protocols than was practical before. They can use better encodings, more complex symbols, smarter echo and multi-path detection, clever error-correction, complex scheduling, etc, etc...

All of this efficiency actually serves to reduce the amount of time the radio is "on", because more data can be sent in the same amount of time. That's what "higher spectral efficiency" means! Arguing against 5G is to say that their preference is the older, less efficient, and more RF polluting standards like 3G and 4G.

(Mind you, first-generation 5G devices eat more battery, but that's largely because they're right on the edge of what's possible for the logic component. Using the latest and greatest 5nm technology saves little or no power, and it'll be the next-gen 3nm process that will truly unlock the power savings. There was a similar transition with 4G from 3G.)

However, such arguments with such people are futile. They didn't arrive at their position through evidence or logic. They got there entirely as an emotional, tribal reaction to what they see as an external group entering their boundaries without their permission.
It depends on the context. Who will use this app? What is their comfort level with the different interfaces? What is their expectation? What problem is your app solving? For whom? How urgent is this problem? How desperate are the buyers to use the interface?
Sacrificing individual benefit for societal benefit is always the questions. We’re always making decisions about which tribe to benefit at the expense of another tribe such as individual, family, religious, geographic, racial, socioeconomic, nation state, present, future, etc.

An imbalance will cause discord and disorder. Hopefully you catch yourself on the right side of it. Prioritizing cars is very much a “me and my immediate family” above all else move, and that can be an easy choice when you don’t see others as belonging to your tribe, or vice versa.
> and maybe actually more the non-horrific but relentless robotic support for the war (or obedience towards the emperor, government, etc) among the people

That is a lot of words to say "civilians trying to survive during a war".

To make it even worse, the war criminals, that ones that were part of the "horrors of the Japanese war machine" were spared by the USA after the war. Fearing an increase influence of Communism in Asia, the USA let the war criminals go unpunished.

Targeting civilians while sparing war criminals is hardly a moral stand point.
> A fifth of the US population lives outside of big cities

And there are people living rurally outside of the USA, too.

I would not call it "giving away money."

This is what giving away money is and what really makes a difference in people's lives: John Oliver buys and forgives $15m worth of medical debt [0].

There does exist the "Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health", which has a fantastic mission.

That’s great. Iv’e been cooking often for about 6 years now and when you get to the point where you’re more about technique than trying to follow a recipe it’s great. You stop worrying about if something is done yet, you learn to improvise, and you get a feel for when to do things and what to add, etc.

Another nice side effect is you end up getting really good at making basic things quickly too. And you get an instinct for where you can cheat and when to do the work.
It is possible. Unlicensed technologies have their advantages as well. You should check how the trade offs of each solution manifest on your use case and pick the proper one. For example in some cases, Lowrawan has better energy consumption, thus the battery of the sensor could last longer.

I believe that in the long term and as the number of devices per unit of area increases, licensed technologies will be the only viable option.
Minor elaboration: Nagasaki was not an undamaged city. It had been bombed multiple times by conventional American bombs. But then Nagasaki was just a backup target anyway. Kokura was the primary target for the second bomb but it was obscured by clouds and smoke during the bombing run on August 9 so the plane went to Nagasaki instead. By the time they got there it too was socked in by clouds which is why the Nagasaki bomb fell so far off target.
Hello everyone, this is a solo project that I have been working on during quarantine. The link above has a good overview of how the system works.

It is ready for user accounts now if you want to start visualizing your system. But there is also a demo that does not require signing up.
Hey HN, ChromeExtensionKit is a side project of mine that includes a bunch of different starter templates for basic (HTML/CSS/JS) and React-based Chrome extensions (with setup and publish scripts) as well as some fully functional example extensions for inspiration. I originally built the starter templates as I found myself setting up and configuring every extension project roughly the same way and wanted to speed that process up in the future. The kit also includes an ebook with actionable growth tips and tricks.

If anyone has any questions, I would love to answer them!
Pretty sure that one is deprecated. It was very useful for SEO research, which is probably why it doesn’t work anymore.
These people are complete fools to waste thousands of dollars and have to lay someone off.

In the same predicament, I would not spend a penny at all on the harassment. I would not respond to it at all.

However, I would create a web page divulging every piece of communication I received, and/or forward everything to any media outlet willing to listen.

It's very difficult to get actual money out of someone who doesn't want to pay, or get them to change their behavior (like stop using a certain logo).

The lawyers are just hoping people will get scared of a bunch of words in a threatening letter.

I genuinely don't understand how that has any real connection to the topic at hand.
I'm curious where you found this information, because the best I could find was that negotiations regarding those conditions were never finished:

To this end, Stalin and Molotov strung out the negotiations with the Japanese, giving them false hope of a Soviet-mediated peace. [..] The Japanese would have to surrender unconditionally to all the Allies. To prolong the war, the Soviets opposed any attempt to weaken this requirement.[56] This would give the Soviets time to complete the transfer of their troops from the Western Front to the Far East, and conquer Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, northern Korea, South Sakhalin, the Kuriles, and possibly Hokkaidō - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan#Soviet_inte...

However, the Japanese presented no formal terms, because details were to be worked out by negotiation. - https://www.quora.com/When-Japan-offered-conditional-surrend...

Edit as reply due to rate limit:

The article you linked doesn't support the claims you made about Japan's conditional surrender. The closest it comes is "Anami wanted retention of the emperor, self-disarmament, no foreign occupation, and trial of any Japanese war criminals by Japan itself". But that is what Anami wanted, not what was written down in some final, take-it-or-leave-it offer. And that's from before the Soviet declaration of war.

In fact the article basically contradicts your claim about the necessity of the bombs:

> The bomb played a part in Japan’s surrender, but it may not have been necessary, he said. Had the U.S. drawn Stalin into publicly supporting the Potsdam Declaration’s unconditional surrender demand, Japan might not have held out hope for a Soviet-brokered deal. Had it guaranteed the emperor’s position, Japan might have surrendered earlier, Hasegawa said, though this is yet another point that draws endless historical debate.

> “Other alternatives were available, but they were not explored,” Hasegawa said.

Choosing the bombs over merely exploring other options is rather damning, don't you think?
The long term data will be fascinating. Less travel means fewer car accidents and better air for example. As air quality is a key proxy for longevity/many diseases this alone might add a long term positive. Not to mention all the other infections prevented through social distancing, think flu, measles, ...

On the other hand especially the early days (or current reality for the US) meant much stress, especially for parents. Busy hospitals are also a challenge and can cause mistakes - and yet at the same time avoidance of less necessary procedures might in some ways again add a positive angle.

My point being it's all about the kind of data and timeframe you look at. In more practical terms the real consideration of the lockdowns needs to be counterfactual: how many people would have died without the lockdown. This by definition is really difficult to do as it's to a large degree guesswork.
Probably they want to know who is actually using Tor, instead of knowing what is being transported through it.
That dumb meme about "big tech controlling your mind" ironically seems to be doing a far better job of what it accuses others. It has made people /unlearn/ how the internet and private property work.

Even with more egregious examples of moral wrong and stupidity like shutting down child molestation survivor support groups or just bad decisions like buying up Tumblr and trying to sanitize it weren't like but accepted as fundamentally how it works when it is their servers. There is no viable alternative to stop them from setting their rules. Even if they die there is nothing stopping them from taking their ball and going home.
That looks like a snapshot from the UniFi Network manager.

Based on my experiences with UniFi gear, which I like and am running right now, I’d take any of their DPI and threat detection stuff with a full meter cube of salt. It doesn’t even report local network flows and traffic statistics correctly.
After the two bombs, there was an attempted coup to prevent the Emperor from surrendering.

And you think bombs at sea would scare them?
Honest question: can it not be both a less fatal end to the war and a war crime? This classification of something as a war crime, even if appropriate, isn't the ending of a discussion.

Not just OpenStep, but Rhapsody! It was Apple's original transition plan for Mac OS X, basically OpenStep/Mach 5.x with a Mac OS 8-style Platinum UI done in NeXT-style Display PostScript complete with draggable menus. It's my favorite Apple product of all time just for the "what could have been" factor, but the Adobes of the world balked at "rewrite your apps in Yellow Box" so we got Carbon and friends in the rebooted Mac OS X project. There was one retail release as "Mac OS X Server 1.0", but the "Premier" desktop-user-focused version was canceled. I like to run Rhapsody on my Power Mac G3 Blue&White because that particular machine shipped with Rhapsody (in a Server G3 configuration) and is extremely well supported: https://cooltrainer.org/images/original/michiru-rhapsody-201...

I seldom eat too much of anything, but bread makes me glee with happiness. I don’t think I’d like to live in a world without bread. I love how it smells, I love how it tastes, I love how satisfied I feel after eating freshly baked bread.

Probably not the answer you’re expecting but damn I love avocado toast, pizza, naan, french toast, burger, croissants and any form of bread.

I don’t care if I die a few years early, I love bread.

The latency sensitive thing is supposed to be smart cars and roads. 5G is all about displacing terrestrial cable and telco to homes. (And profiting off of the carve out regulations around wireless.

Most other applications don’t really care about latency. If anything, we’ve used software to move lower latency applications like voice to crowded, latent and unreliable networks.

The browser wars are old. The only thing having dominance in browser market share is good for is advertising.

As far as mobile, it hasn’t been that great for Google either. It came out in the Oracle trial that Android had only made Google $22 Billion in profit from inception through 2016 (https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/21/10810834/android-generate...), much less than it paid Apple during the same time period to be the default search engine for iOS.

There is no reason to believe that the economics are any better now.
Hmm. I think the US had at least one more core for a fat man type weapon.
The common thread there is libertarianism. They don't want people imposing on them or telling them what to do. To them 5G towers are invading their space and are a symbol of an interconnectedness they would like to deny and limit.
Carmack famously quipped that "I can send an IP packet to Europe faster than I can send a pixel to the screen" [1]. For VR and AR to break through, they're going to have to be in a form factor that resembles normal glasses, and at a much higher render quality (4K+) than anything we've got now. That's almost certainly going to require rendering remotely Stadia / Xbox Cloud style, with some minimal local processing.

There's a certain OS designed to look like Mac OS, which uses a pear as their logo. Obviously I'm not going to name them. I don't want to give Apple any ideas. It seems like any company with a fruit logo is in danger of a lawsuit anyway. If you give them an inch they'll take a mile.
I love that this is a replica of the Soviet replica of the 8080. So a replica of a replica.
> Perhaps the technical superiority of mainframes

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I mean, the PC killed the mainframe because it was a superior concept, because it catered to an incomparably larger market (personal computing) and, due to its massive economies of scale allowed to develop solutions that ate away the mainframe market.

I mean, think about it: why so you think a massively successful company like Google, with very deep pockets and total freedom to pick and choose the best technology money can buy, decided to found their whole business not on mainframes but on massive clusters of COTS PCs? And why do you think Google doubled-down on PCs, and not on mainframes, even after they started to design and build and operate their own computers?

> The accusations are framed as if because something is Chinese we cannot trust it.

China's regime can't be trusted because it has a very long track record of fraud and abuse and deceitfulness, not to mention human rights violations. You'd be hard-pressed to find any nation that developed a trusting relationship with China due to the way China's totalitarian regime engages with the whole world, specially their neighbors.
> And a car is just a faster horse

No, it's a low maintenance, low latency horse. The start-up time of cars is a few orders of magnitude faster than horses. And they can be housed in very little space and basically ignored when not needed.
If everyone was short-sighted, privacy would be easier to enforce.
"Covid-19 seems to have changed [x] for good" is not worth reading, for all values of x, until we have gotten to a post-pandemic environment. It's like saying, in the seconds or even days after a car crash, that the car crash has changed your driving styles for good. Wayyyyyy too early to say.
Certainly with 80MB of memory you could do all that and more. This machine is more capable in most respects than the machine that was on my desk when that was supposedly a scientific workstation. With 80MB this laptop can easily run Pro/ENGINEER, AutoCAD, Maple, Mathematica, MATLAB, almost anything.
If you've made a "web app", it must be accessible through the web, i.e. it is either a web site or a part of web site, according to all sorts of laws including probably the ones mentioned by the GP post.

Data Structures Cheat Sheet
Not for me. I've owned every smartphone and high end feature phone since the 90s. A Blackberry was still better than an iPhone + IMAP + EDGE in terms of subjective speed. Mobile websites sucked hard on the iPhone. (Don't even get me started on Pocket IE and the IPAQ). Quite literally my day job was Windows CE development, I was on the W3C XHTML/CSS/XForms committees, I worked on implementation of those specs on HW before it hit the market, none of these mobile web sites were very usable except for basic text information serving. Interactions (eg clicking links, submitting forms) were agonizing.

I used to joke that slapping Gopher or a libcurses based apps on these phones would be superior (IMHO, the experience was inferior to an Amiga on a v34 modem dial to Unix)

Mobile Web apps are not really functional at EDGE speeds. And certainly todays' media, which is rich with imagery, would be completely overwhelmed at EDGE/3g speeds, even if you remove the overhead of HTML and JS bundles.

Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, all of these apps would be terrible on EDGE.

The thing is, we are so used to high bandwidth now and its availability, we seldom realize how dependent we are on it until we lose it.

Interesting point - laying cables along a circle of latitude with a 4 hour time difference would mean the peak solar power at one location would power the other locations peak usage (6pm - 9pm). However, a 4 hour time difference is pretty substantial in terms of length of cables. I wonder if Australia could do this between Perth and the South East (Melbourne, Sydney).
Netflix is not banned explicitly. They just can't get a license to operate in China. In addition, VPNs are actively hunted down by the Chinese government so legally speaking VPNs are banned in China, which means a Chinese resident won't be able to watch Netflix anyway -- that is, Netflix is practically banned.

> This could be solved by a carbon tax. If the company lied about their emissions and got caught, you could retroactively charge them to make up for the difference

In this case, they were emitting less carbon than advertised. Should we pay them a refund?

Details: outside of test scenarios, the engine control system ran the engine hotter and with less diesel emissions fluid which resulted in better fuel efficiency (less carbon) and more conversion of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen to Nitrogen Oxides (bad for people).
