A quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
“Japan at the moment was seeking a way to surrender with a minimum loss of face. It wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”
There are more quotes, but basically everything you were taught about the necessity of wiping out hundreds of thousands of people in a flash was after the fact American propaganda to justify a war crime.
but they do open them, and see a comparison between trump voter delusions and apple fanboy delusions. making that comparison is not discussing politics. now if you want to pretend trumpers are smart people not made fun of on every corner of popular culture, my comparison would be invalid. this would however mean you yourself are delusional, making the comparison valid.

what we don't want to see is endless discussions about the discussion itself. because it's offtopic spam. if you want to discuss how we discuss things, open a separate post about it, and don't do it in a thread about phone cpus.
The privacy implications for this actually horrifies me.
Have a look at the Shaper Origin. I’ve not used it myself (and it’s not cheap) but its handheld nature may suit your use case even better than a traditional CNC in a van.
I don't really see the comparison to those apps, though. None were nearly as big as musically/tiktok. I think it's unfair to even compare it to Vine, which is featureless in comparison.
If we extend this line of thinking, where does it lead?

The goal seems to be removing easy access to communications where governments can't listen for signs of dangerous behavior. But individuals can write custom software. Is there a stage in this arms race where one would need company/nation-state level resources to communicate in private?

Is there a potential future in which every piece of end-user software can't run without being signed by the government and is enforced at the CPU level? I'd hate to think this is even possible, but my (limited) understanding of secure enclaves makes me think there's a chance.
Realistically, I don't believe any reversal of policy is possible under a Republican White House or even probable under a Democratic White House.

In an ideal world, however, it's not in the US interest to escalate tensions with China unnecessarily because a new cold war is something that should be avoided. One way or the other, China and the US will need to live with each other and reaching some kind of mutual understanding on this point without walking too far down the path towards potentially violent brinksmanship would be the best outcome for everyone.
Depends on what coding-related search, I think. Searching for C is useless unless you know to search for clang, for example; but then you get results for the compiler. If you're trying to search for lesser known languages with short names or names that overlap with common words, then forget it! (Arguably that's a fault of the language, but arguably arguably you shouldn't have to choose what to name your creation based on Google.)
Crimp tools from brand name vendors are wildly overpriced. You can get a mechanical splice kit for very little money from one of the online fiber stores.

In fact, for less than a grand you can get a brand new core alignment fusion splicer.

A mechanical splice isn’t $10, it’s more like $1 in bulk.

As for consumables, fusion splicers also need new electrodes and calibration from time to time, but these are minor expenses.

I think the idea is that they have identified it as an area where they can make productivity gains. If the throughput is there it has obvious in-the-field applications i.e. Who actually enjoys fucking around with cables before you even wire up the DUT - if you want to automatically (say) measure the efficiency of a power supply over some parameter you have to do it by hand (SCPI takes too much time)
> Likewise most people don't realize how much more death there would've been on both sides if the US invaded Japan by sea.

That's begging the question - was a US invasion the only alternative? https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/08/05/nuclear-war-or... argues that Japan would have surrendered without the bombings. And that's for unconditional surrender - a conditional one would be even more easily achievable.
In the other hand, being forced to navigate the willful delusions of so many makes the world a harder, less prosperous, and less kind place.
There is also a website that documents where local schools get their internet from. You can also use those to find out potential providers. I'll try to find a link.

I assume it's a simple "cellular automata style theory", a coroutine like recursive function that once we discover, we will notice is obvious at every scale we look at. Wolfram is definitely heading in the right direction. I remember a movie called Digital Physics having a similar plot.

That makes much more sense, thanks! Accusations of Twitter hysteria can be slung so easily against any side of a divide that I wasn't sure whether the claim was of modern attitudes that would draw ire for undue social activism, or of older attitudes that would draw ire for insensitivity.
The underlying message is that they don’t want to be near people who can’t afford cars and the accompanying expenses.

Which is a valid reason, as the data clearly shows the benefits of growing up in neighborhoods with high income earners, and the disadvantages of growing up in neighborhoods with low income earners:

Part of the problem is that before SpaceX, the industry was used to "cost-plus pricing" in government contracts - i.e. "we'll pay you whatever it costs to make, plus some extra for you" - which strongly incentivizes the contractors to inflate the production costs (or, charitably assuming everyone is playing fair and 100% honest, there's still very little incentive to innovate in order to cut the costs down). ULA is still held down by that legacy.

Also, note that ULA is a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing; the underlying political issues form an infinite, money-sucking fractal. It's always been like that - space industry grew out from government military programs; in fact, SpaceX is representing the new wave of private, commercial interests with no military legacy.
Nope, a human with or without a microscope isn’t going to do it better than a fully automated fusion splicer.
We also have Germany as a point of comparison. 1945 Was the bloodiest year of the European theater, a fact made even more palpable considering that the European war ended in May. Compound this with the fact that the ratio of troops killed vs surrendered for Germany was about 4:1 versus 120:1 for Japan (granted this isn't really a straightforward comparison, Japan was often fighting over heavily fortified islands that afforded little opportunity to encircle large formations which is what precipitates most surrenders).
I think the hard part of asset management is getting the existing data into the tool, and then keeping it accurate. What are your plans to address this?
NASA isn’t a private company. It’s not selling launches to anyone. It’s also not a good launch system designer, the Space Shuttle may have been the worst operational launch system design in the history of space flight.

NASA is a research and exploration organization. It can buy launches for far less than it would cost NASA to build them. Those savings mean more probes, more manned missions, more science.

The real solution is to have a half dozen or more companies competing in various segments of the launch business, leading to faster technical advancement and lowering costs. And we are getting close to that today. SpaceX, ULA, Electron, Orbital ATK on line now, with Blue Origin and another half dozen on the way.

And this has led to the greatest burst of innovation and economic improvements the launch business has seen since the 1960s. A Falcon 9 can lift almost as much payload as the Shuttle, at a cost forty times lower. We have the first reusable first stages landing themselves, rocket engines being cheaply mass produced on assembly lines, the first operational full flow rocket engine, the first satellite constellations bringing internet access everywhere in the world.

In testing right now is the first truly reusable launch system, which if successful will cut the cost of space access by another ten times, and launch the largest payloads in history.

It will also be used to make in space refueling commonplace, if it succeed in that it lowers the cost of access to the moon, Mars, and other deep space destinations by at least ten times more.
If you ever get a chance to visit the Hiroshima Peace Museum, it is a moving and worthwhile place to go. Give yourself a few hours so you can spend time watching eyewitness interviews. The main tram line through downtown goes right past Ground Zero, which never stops being shocking.
This is an amazing piece of advice. At the risk of sounding cliche, I would still like to recommend The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. The basic premise of the book is this: The Habit loop is a neurological pattern that governs any habit. It consists of three elements: a cue, a routine, and a reward. Understanding these components can help in understanding how to change bad habits or form good ones.
But somehow every other developed country in the world has tests that are quick, cheap and accurate.
You are conflating high fashion and fast fashion. High fashion doesn't go out of style every 6 months. Louis Vuitton still sells the same Monogram purse that they did 10 years ago, likewise my aunt has several $1000+ handbags she has owned for 20+ years. Your comment about high fashion going out of style every 6 months is just untrue, and to the other posters point just highlights the myopic lens in which software engineers view fashion.

Also, the NY article is not about fast fashion (Zara, H&M), it's about high fashion (Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang).

so pick a rom that's common and well supported and popular for your phone model. i'm guessing your experience includes zero reading about what rom is best for what phone, before you put it on. kinda like buying a 2 star rated tv on amazon.

Why interview the CEO of a company and not engineers building the product?
No, it's more than that. There was no YouTube in 2000. Web video for wired connections was shitty. MPEG-2 was the codec dujour. Progressive Networks/Real Networks was people's conception of online video. Netflix was shipping DVDs by snail mail. If the iPhone existed in 2000, there still couldn't have been a TikTok.

AR glasses for example, could totally upend all of this and require 5G low latency, and fast accurate positioning. Yes, 5g when it arrives next year, won't change anything. However, 7 years from now, it may be the enabling platform for AR glasses the way 4g LTE was the enabling platform for smartphones.

Really, how useful was a 2g (Edge) iPhone without a wifi connection?
...if a tax treaty between both countries exists.
Yep!

OpenType can do some very very complicated things; I would honestly be surprised if it's not Turing-complete. But it is also one of those languages where a lot of things are possible but actually doing them is pretty tedious. Take a look at some of the links at the end of my notes on this font and you'll see what kind of repetitive horrors have to be generated to do Weird Stuff.
Considering encrypted messages have to both be encrypted and decrypted, I don't think his statement is necessarily against encrypted. I assumed he meant preventing the sending of known materials like that and / or the opening of it (which wouldn't interfere with end-to-end encryption at all).

Startups aren’t made by billionaires, the workers at those startup aren’t billionaires, the people who make the most money out of a startup are the billionaires who invest in the first place.

The people who design an iPhone are seldom millionaires, ditto for the people who write the software, the people who actually build them, and the people who buy them.

Startups may make billionaires, but that doesn’t mean those startups haven’t benefited primarily from no -billionaires.

More over the bulk of the money those billionaires have are either cash (so not contributing anything to anyone), or investment funds (eg not adding capital to new businesses, and not injecting money into the economy).

So the bulk of assets held by billionaires are only benefiting those billionaires, and then they aren’t actually doing anything with it except hoarding.

Billionaires don’t add value to the economy. Because one billionaire is never going to be spending more than 20 thousand times more than an average American. So they aren’t contributing proportional to the amount they benefit from the economy.
Well, it's probably a teapot!

I've noticed that people who don't identify as bikers are more and more opting for an ebike over an oldskool bike by default (and bikers too, as another steed in the stable).

I don't think this is a bad thing for public health. Ebikes need pedalling too, they just assist. They assist quite a lot, which makes them fun to ride, and probably makes them more enticing to take out. The fact that they assist means you can go further in the same time, which is certainly what I witness happening amongst my bikehead friends and the people I meet in the mountains.
I see the point you’re trying to make, and by no means am I saying that the British were without fault, but there is a very significant difference between the the British defending their liberal democracy from Nazi domination and a largely rural, largely uneducated Japanese population being conscripted into fighting a war of aggression on behalf of a totalitarian state.

NLP and to a lesser extent SEO has vastly diminished the value of this type of searching.
The operators don't work as well as they used to, and even when using them lots of results are still left out or are not an exact match. The combination of the SEO arms race and Google's algorithms to filter "bad" information make it nearly impossible to find some things. Sometimes you are looking for that "bad" piece of info as a counter example rather than a source of truth, and don't need google's patronizing filtering, so would prefer exact string matches. But apparently they know better than you.
Even on Covid. He warned in Feb that covid could result in 10 millions deaths in Africa, when we knew already from the Chinese numbers that the demographics of covid deaths was massively skewed toward 70yo+, and Africa has a very young population. I classify him in the FUD spreading category.

Good article but I continue to feel like for whatever use cases 5g is fit to serve, it seems likely to be a limited technology, used only by heavyweight giant companies. Unlike other communications bands, there is no intent to make any of this at all consumerly accessible.

I don't think you can hide schemas that way in practice. At Dropbox I saw that they had an abstract storage service in front of MySQL but every aspect of the underlying schema leaked out through the API in some way.
>The whole Apple fashion status trope is tired and has never been true.

I love (and almost exclusively use) Apple products for many of the reasons you listed. But I think it's disingenuous to deny that there is an element of Apple's branding and design that is based on fashion.

Even after the second bomb, some Japan's military leadership wanted to keep fighting.

> The Kyūjō incident (宮城事件, Kyūjō Jiken) was an attempted military coup d'état in the Empire of Japan at the end of the Second World War. It happened on the night of 14–15 August 1945, just before the announcement of Japan's surrender to the Allies. The coup was attempted by the Staff Office of the Ministry of War of Japan and many from the Imperial Guard to stop the move to surrender.

> The officers murdered Lieutenant General Takeshi Mori of the First Imperial Guards Division and attempted to counterfeit an order to the effect of occupying the Tokyo Imperial Palace (Kyūjō). They attempted to place the Emperor under house arrest, using the 2nd Brigade Imperial Guard Infantry. They failed to persuade the Eastern District Army and the high command of the Imperial Japanese Army to move forward with the action. Due to their failure to convince the remaining army to oust the Imperial House of Japan, they performed ritual suicide. As a result, the communiqué of the intent for a Japanese surrender continued as planned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident

Would resistance to surrender have found more support if only a single bomb had been dropped? We will never know.
Similarly, can someone explain why the bombs weren't dropped a few miles out to sea? It would still have clearly demonstrated the capability.

This is a jaw-droppingly arrogant attitude. You're trying to justify your own incorrect usage by asserting that the person who coined the term decades ago "got it kind of wrong"? And you cringe when others get it right?

"Depreciated" is absolutely the wrong term, because it implies that the value is less, when the intent is to communicate "this is still fully functional, but you are warned away from it because it is targeted for future removal." Deprecated.
Thanks Ryan! Been there, done that. I think you just need to make peace with the fact that whatever it is you're writing never will be as good as you want, especially at the beginning. Just try to write in a clear, concise and simple way, and ship constantly so you get feedback. That's what gonna make you a better writer IMO

I prefer Google circa 2005, but DDG and Bing work better for me now.

I've never wanted anything fancy:

- don't show me paid search results
- show me a blank page if there are no results
- make it easy to 'AND' terms (+include +search +terms)
- most importantly: search for my damned search terms! If you want to "did you mean" my spelling, fine. I don't really care. But it's unacceptable to ever drop a search term.

I have plenty of other complaints about Google, but in terms of search quality, those are the relevant ones.
In new construction, consider running "smurf tube" or other conduit between structured wiring enclosures. You'll be able to pull through more cables in the future reasonably easily, especially if you leave pulling line for yourself. In theory you can also get network appliances and etc. that mounts nicely in the structured wiring boxes although honestly the selection/pricing is kind of lame on those. This is starting to be more common in new construction, esp. multi-family.
