""Hoshina Memorandum" on the Emperor's "Sacred Decision [go-seidan]," 9-10 August, 1945
Source: Zenshiro Hoshina, Daitoa Senso Hishi: Hoshina Zenshiro Kaiso-roku [Secret History of the Greater East Asia War: Memoir of Zenshiro Hoshina] (Tokyo, Japan: Hara-Shobo, 1975), excerpts from Section 5, "The Emperor made go-seidan [= the sacred decision] – the decision to terminate the war," 139-149 [translation by Hikaru Tajima]

"An overview of the destruction of Hiroshima [undated, circa August-September 1945] (Photo from U.S. National Archives, RG 306-NT)
Despite the bombing of Hiroshima, the Soviet declaration of war, and growing worry about domestic instability, the Japanese cabinet (whose decisions required unanimity) could not form a consensus to accept the Potsdam Declaration. Members of the Supreme War Council—“the Big Six”[46]—wanted the reply to Potsdam to include at least four conditions (e.g., no occupation, voluntary disarmament); they were willing to fight to the finish. The peace party, however, deftly maneuvered to break the stalemate by persuading a reluctant emperor to intervene. According to Hasegawa, Hirohito had become convinced that the preservation of the monarchy was at stake. Late in the evening of 9 August, the emperor and his advisers met in the bomb shelter of the Imperial Palace.

"Zenshiro Hoshina, a senior naval official, attended the conference and prepared a detailed account. With Prime Minister Suzuki presiding, each of the ministers had a chance to state his view directly to Hirohito. While Army Minister Anami tacitly threatened a coup (“civil war”), the emperor accepted the majority view that the reply to the Potsdam declaration should include only one condition not the four urged by “Big Six.” Nevertheless, the condition that Hirohito accepted was not the one that foreign minister Togo had brought to the conference. What was at stake was the definition of the kokutai (national policy). Togo’s proposal would have been generally consistent with a constitutional monarchy because it defined the kokutai narrowly as the emperor and the imperial household. What Hirohito accepted, however, was a proposal by the extreme nationalist Kiichiro Hiranuma which drew upon prevailing understandings of the kokutai: the “mythical notion” that the emperor was a living god. “This was the affirmation of the emperor’s theocratic powers, unencumbered by any law, based on Shinto gods in antiquity, and totally incompatible with a constitutional monarchy.” Thus, the Japanese response to the Potsdam declaration opposed “any demand which prejudices the prerogatives of his Majesty as a sovereign ruler.” This proved to be unacceptable to the Truman administration."

The solar array and battery storage (all of which can be recycled today with existing recycling techniques) will be built on time, begin generating on time, and will generate no nuclear waste nor require fuel (besides sunlight) during its operating lifetime. It takes over 10 years to build a VVER-1200 reactor [1] (any fission reactor, really), if you can even get the reactor to the finish line.

Gosh down votes for this

Okay let me try to show my side of “0%“ is wrong”

“author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,300 scientific publications, including several textbooks.“

“Dr. Fauci ranked 7th out of more than 1.8 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2020.”

Note this isn’t just 2020. It’s a long history.

“Dr. Fauci was appointed director of NIAID in 1984.” And has served under 6 presidents. Most of which had more than 1 term.

If you are looking for a long list of awards and honorary doctorates head over to his Wikipedia page.

To the replies I got
- I don’t consider 30’s middle aged. I guess I was thinking if you were around with AIDS news in the 80’s you might remember him. Oxford dictionary considers middled aged 45-65
- google trending searches isn’t how I would evaluate the history of someone over decades of time.

For fun I did fin a bunch of videos of times he was on TV via YouTube. So again my point is that 0% is far from right.
Memory control group code is replete with bugs throughout 4.x kernels, way beyond RHEL 7. This is one of the big problems with getting locked into "LTS" kernels. It takes a long time to discover all the nameplate features that don't actually work.
Fuck thinking about this critically -- just bow to your new overlords.

Lukashenko BTW suspects Russia is behind this, which it very well might be.
There is the legal issue, and also the technical issue. Even if the law sets strict limits on decryption that will become moot if the key is leaked.
sorry, could you dumb this down a little? how does this affect the price/GW? (I'm not questioning it does, I'm saying I don't understand the rest of what you said)

Purely hypothetical. The only things I know for sure are that there is an enormous amount of 1. web traffic being sent automatically by people's devices which they are wholly unaware of and 2. willingness to allow "auto-updates" where no user ever looks at the contents of the code that comprises the update.

It also seems like there is a trend of increasingly important decisions being made based on assumptions arising from analysis of web traffic, however I could be wrong on that observation.
I thought Lukashenko and Putin were buds?
Is this one of those “there’s good people on both sides” arguments? It’s not House that can’t get their shit together, it is literally the GOP controlled Senate (specifically, Mitch McConnell) who is causing this. People are going to die because of his stonewalling — I bet it’s possible to actually calculate; what wonder how he’ll end up comparing to other psychopaths?
There are a TON of TVs that aren't smart. Where do you get the idea that it is impossible to buy one?
One strap shoulder Man-bags are all the rage. They are pretty practical, especially when you can’t fit your checkbook-sized wallet in tiny pockets. But in the US it looks like you’re wearing a fanny pack.

Especially true in SE Asia. I resisted the trend because it looks effeminate, like you're wearing a purse. Asian guys love them because they're super practical if you ride a motorbike or scooter tandem style. I think it works better for more masculine types to go for a bigger bag. I have a black Crumpler bicycle messenger bag (not super big, just a normal-sized bike messenger bag) and it works great for me down here.
The government will do everything to make the financial system work for banks and nothing to make it work for people.
On the other hand if you stop evicting entirely, people suddenly have a lot less incentive to pay you. This could quickly make you short on cash.

I guess you could also use it as an opportunity to get rid of the more problematic tenants in jurisdictions where that is difficult.

It's not an easy problem to optimize this.
Could also be a forced thing due to being relatively fragmented with many different countries under a union which isn't as tight as the US union of states.

Great thing about the US is that it's possibly the biggest homogeneous market in the world where you can form a lot of reliable expectations of people throughout. By contrast, countries such as China and India are highly diverse culturally. You can't even expect people to be speaking the same language (yes, each have national languages but not everyone speaks them and it's not a first language for many.)
I normally enjoy Sam but found that episode was voiced more by his inner parent than his usual hyper-rational self. Child porn is a scourge that should be destroyed but there was minimal discussion of the following that I would normally expect from Sam:

- Relative merits of the alternatives to the banning/reduction of e2e encryption, e.g stronger police resources, education and community programs

- Is there a strong link between the sharing of material and the creation of material?

To demonstrate the seriousness of the issue they cite a study that around 5% of the population have consumed child pornography. My own experience has been that unsavoury images can be posted in public places and none of the viewers intend to see the material. I suspect (and hope!) this is where the 5% comes from. This is not caused or solved by the masses having access to encryption.

I wouldn't be surprised if I was having this reaction just because of my idealogical support of encryption.
I'm a little wary of the types of metrics: LOC, updates, file changes, merges.

Those are tertiary issues at most.

Features, quality, issues resolved etc.. is mostly what matters.
agreed... I use -m out of laziness a lot, but every time I don't it's much better.
any known links to test?
You may notice, however, that this practice is extremely widespread throughout both the government and private industry. Yes, it is unsuitable for the purpose as parent says, but this is still the de facto purpose. Use of SSNs as identification is so ubiquitous in certain fields that when security concerns around SSNs became apparent in the '90s they were simply replaced with "pseudo-SSNs" which are randomly generated in the same format - which had already been the practice for individuals not possessing an SSN or in other exceptional situations.
> many website operators do not implement them

I don't think that a site must do anything for HTTPS Everywhere to work, since it is (or should be) entirely client-side. Obviously, if you had to fetch something over HTTP before switching to HTTPS then a proxy could slip you forged info.

So, I don't know if Tor Browser works this way, but—just don't allow plain HTTP unless explicitly requested by the user? (Instead of requiring to specify HTTPS.) Weird if TB doesn't do this.

Also on the flip side, it hurts labour. A natural limit on a sought after skill means fairer $$$.

Any profession which has inbuilt labour limits (chartered accounting/lawyer) means those professions get paid fair market value.
It is important to know that the 79.7% was given to Lukashenka by the head of the electoral committee, his long-time ally. There are poll results from electoral stations where the lead opposition candidate has 80% while other electoral stations just across the street show 80% for Lukashenka. There is a lot of variation in results, depending on whether electoral station members could be bullied to sign off rigged results or not.

Also, the world completely missed the wonderful election campaing by three beautiful women that took on the leadership after their men were jailed or ran away. They are calling themselves Love, Might, Win. The lead opposition candidate, the Might of the trio emerged as the nation leader literally in a matter of weeks. Her speeches are smiple, peaceful and straight to the point. She did not call people into streets. Still, 100,000 confronted the police tonight for her. Some died.
Not really; Lukashenko was playing a dangerous game fooling both Russia and EU for more than a decade just to make sure he remains into power.
>He has done no work you could point to

His work in eradicating Polio.
Choosing which projects to finance is a skill in itself, something he's likely more capable of than a traditionally credentialed expert. I can't help but think that you have an arbitrarily narrow definition of expertise.
So it's Russia turned off Internet in Belarus and jailed candidates? :)
I don't care how many references you have claiming that a recession defined only by statistical data points, you're wrong. A coherent definition of a recession involves the stipulation that it is an endogenous crisis. Exogenous effects showing the same data points still can't be the same.
The defense sector is a big source of funding for basic scientific research. That stuff takes a while to pay off -- decades, usually. GPS and the Internet are old because of that; when they were more recent investments, they weren't useful (yet).

One of the more recent massive success stories is KeyHole, which became Google Maps. It was originally funded by In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm.

My commit logs tend to be full of stuff like "now with less bugs" and "it actually works."
Why are so many of the anti-USPS comments coming from new accounts? I'm not going to call them out directly, but most of them seem to be 1-3 months old
Yeah, I did the same when I bought my house.... made sure I was only 10 minutes away from where my office and many other tech offices were.

I was always shocked at how many people were willing to spend 50 hours a month driving just to save $500 on rent... is your tone really only worth $10 an hour?

Now, I am totally screwed because I pay more and no one commutes anyway.
With a neighbour like they have, 'help' might mean a multi-year occupation.
>>> Social media platforms should be able to monitor what content users are sharing on these platforms.

Then you’re not a platform, you are a publisher and should be held accountable for what you choose to publish. A platform is literally that: a platform for use by users as they see intended. I’m not talking about trolls, spammers, hackers and those who post illegal content. When platforms move down to editorialize content, they cease to be defined as a platform.
I think the idea is that 10GW of solar only produces on average as much power as a 2.2GW "normal" power plant. So during the best parts of the day you're getting all 10GW. At night you're getting 0GW. On cloudy days you're getting less than 10GW. If you average it all out over a year you get about the same amount of total energy output from the 10GW solar plant as you would a 2.2GW traditional power plant.

So once you do that it goes from $1/watt to more like $4.50/watt. And it starts to look about the same as nuclear if in fact you can spend $5b and you get 1GW.

One nice thing about nuclear is that it's super steady 1GW 24/7 vs the solar needs to have battery storage too, and those batteries aren't free.
It's an uneasy relationship, largely by design. If Lukashenko gets too friendly with Russia, Russia will not cut Belarus the hydrocarbon deals that Belarus has been getting forever, which would plunge a lot of people there further into poverty and decimate the economy. There will also be pressure to form a union of some sort, which would mean Lukashenko would lose full control over billions of dollars he's pinching off of in Belarus today (IIRC he basically owns all of telecom in the country). So Lukashenko has to threaten the bear a bit so to speak, by also getting friendly with the West, or at least pretending that he's going to if negotiations do not succeed. He's playing both the West and Russia against each other. If he gets too friendly with the West, however, Russia will take Belarus. It cannot afford to not have buffer states around it or NATO bases within strike distance of its population centers, for obvious geopolitical reasons. Belarus is one of those buffer states.

Honestly? Levi's makes cheap jeans under the "Denizen" brand for Target (and maybe others too, I haven't looked). They're made of a stretchier fabric than real denim, cost less, feel more comfortable, and I've yet to blow out the inseam in a piar :)
> And it’s no accident that it was installed in south Australia, not one of the more densely settled states.

It was installed in South Australia because the whole state suffered a blackout in 2016 from an overloaded transmission network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Australian_blackout

The other Australian states didn't have the pressing need, but I don't see why it wouldn't be equally feasible.
The way Crush is trying to "fix" quoting is to do less of it.

String interpolation isn't done via quoting but via the format method on the string type, e.g. `"foo {} baz":format "bar"` generates the string "foo bar baz".

Similarly, to execute a command on a remote host, pass in a closure as an argument to the `remote:exec` command, like `remote:exec {1+1} "example.com"`, which will return the value 2.

I find that when quoting becomes a problem it usually means that the wrong solution has already been picked. If you're doing double quoting, you have already lost.
If anyone from the FED is reading this I have this advice: don't use ISO20022! (I've been working on the brazilian instant payments project, known as PIX).
It's an overly-complicated-try-to-solve-everything standard that promises interoperability but only delivers pain and misery.
Since each country has its own standards for person and account identification, in dealing with these local realities, the ISO20022 adds quite a lot of complexity. But all this cost does not result in interoperability. In fact, each payment scheme end up with a localized version of the standard, incompatible with others.
What could have been a clean API, ends up a mess.
Tokyo was already firebombed and terror bombing of civilian cities was a tactic used by all sides in WW2. If bombing civilians is a war crime, then everyone in WW2 is a war criminal. As for the civilian getting bombed, whether the fire melting their flesh away has a hint of radioactivity is a really minor addition.

Sprint had unlimited 3G around 2003 called SprintVision. They also offered a service where you could stream 10-15 live cable TV channels. By 2005, this phone (https://www.cnet.com/reviews/samsung-mm-a900-sprint-review/) could play video at around 15-20fps.

These are the services that Sprint offered over 3G on feature phones.

Everything is great except for the 30M unemployed.

People aren’t paying rent and entire industries are truly and completely fucked. The conjecture here is baffling for a website that supposedly is rich in common sense.
So he has thin skin? Then get out if the public limelight.
"A piece of the action" is a great book on the history of this.
"To go home" is a literal, but not a good translation. The more correct translation is "to go away".
He has broad experiencing in tackling infectious diseases through methods like vaccination & propaganda and he also has doubtless expertise in computers. He has long before COVID frequently been the target of conspiracy theories of him vaccinating people for nefarious purposes.

Thus questions regarding a contemporary infectious disease potentially treated by a disease causing odd politicized conspiratorial behavior on social media is right up his wheelhouse and he's a well known public speaker. There are many epidemiologists you could hear from, and most people have heard from them repeatedly, but Gates offers a fresh perspective due to his fairly unique experience and perspective.
The chart in the article shows the median price of homes sold. Nothing about total real estate transaction volume which is what you’d need to look at to say that the market is “red hot”. Common sense would dictate that the only people spending money on real estate right now have excess wealth and are playing around with more expensive properties.
I wouldn’t say Canada is “far behind” because the banks like to rip people off.

We’ve had a single unified payment network for like 40 years. We’ve had instantly settled electronic transfers (Interac e-Transfer) exposed to consumers directly through their institutions for about 20 years. We’ve had chip and pin and NFC contactless payments for quite a long time.

And the rip off is really just the handful of big banks. My credit union (which is in another province but thanks to the unified network and mobile deposit, etc I’ve been able to continue using on the other end of the country without issue or inconvenience) provides free accounts with no per-transaction or other fees. They’re also happy to issue a loan or provide other services online.

Obviously I’m not as familiar with the US system, but I think putting Canada anywhere near the same level as the US is a mistake.
Locks are really only there to ward off honest people.
Jailing of candidates happens every time there's an election in Belarus. Same as in Russia only total clowns are allowed to run against the anointed candidates. This is the first time Internet was cut off, IIRC.
That may be true today while the vast majority of locks are normal locks. But it seems reasonable that would change if the vast majority of locks were IOT locks.

What's difficult to know, is if there were large market of IOT locks, and much more scrutiny on the companies manufacturing IOT security products, whether that would lead to a reduction in unsophisticated attacks against the products.

As of today, it seems many digital locks are just as bad or worse at physical security than traditional locks, and the IOT connectivity opens up new avenues of attack.
There was a technology that I started seeing about 10-15 years ago (I believe Paypal used it at some point) where bank payments happened "instantaneously" because they were backed by a credit card on file. The bank settlement still took the same amount of time under the hood, but because the credit card acted as a backstop, there was an appearance of an instant payment. I was always surprised at how few merchants adopted this. Hopefully, FedNow will make it totally obsolete.
Or it's Germany. They prefer cash over plastic for privacy reasons.
