Right.

But, having a single source is more efficient than multiple sources---you can integrate tighter with their ordering system, packaging, product quirks. Until it stops working.

Having all of your sources in one country is more efficient. Until it doesn't work.

Managing all of your materials just-in-time is more efficient. Until a backhoe hits the gas main in the street outside and you can no longer get trucks into your factory and have to shut down the line for the duration.

A company with a weak (but not completely idiotic) supply chain will have a significant margin over a company paying extra for a strong supply chain. Until something goes wrong.
Actually, this level payment is roughly optimum value extraction by the parasites at a level that still makes the company feel like they did the right thing by skimping on their security. Because if the chance of incidence * damage < the cost of mitigation then they'll be more than happy to let it happen again.

500K once every 20 years or less beats 50K annually handsomely. Never mind the fact that once you lose control of your data you can never be sure you got that control back, that's somebody else's problem.

People are not very good at threat modeling, estimating chances of things happening to them and estimating the damage resulting from an incident. We collectively are not good at ensuring that the companies where these things happen get dealt with properly.
Almost all of them. The code for actually unlocking the bootloader is generally open or at least described, and you basically just need to flash TWRP then Magisk which you can both compile.
Exactly, this is impossible to reconcile. Either there has been vote fraud or this people didn't actually go to the poll station. Or people can vote more than once.
> AI still has a long way to go before the Air Force pilots would be ready to hand over the stick to an artificial intelligence during combat, DARPA officials said.

It seems to me that rival states who also develop AI-enhanced systems for their respective fleets may do a different cost-benefit analysis and throw caution to the wind on that point.

A foreign fighter craft such as a MIG, traditionally with lower maneuverability when pitted against the likes of an F-22 (and similarly well-piloted), can eke out a significant equalizing advantage if flown by an advanced AI system; especially under the duress of protracted skirmishes.

And let's not forget the industrial cost of building AI-powered jets at scale vs. training highly-skilled human pilots en masse. That's already showing significant ROI in the form of Predator drones.

I think combat-ready AI fighter jets in the US will progress along a development roadmap that matches their growing need during acts of deterrence, rather than during full-scale war. But when multiple states have sufficient AI capability to go tit-for-tat without loss of life, then that would signal an ability to conduct more strategic "stress-tests" that carry with them a significant possibility of escalation.
This headline makes it sound like there has been a change of heart, but Tim Sweeney has been a vocal critic of walled gardens like the App Store and the Microsoft Store, well before Fortnite was a success.

The "special deal" here wouldn't have been some sort of fee waiver, it would've been to let Epic open their own store on iOS. In other words, having Apple give up its monopoly on iOS app publishing, just what the current lawsuit intends to achieve. Obviously, they weren't going to get that, but it's worth asking for it before starting a billion dollar lawsuit.
Right! Around 2010, when this feature was implemented in Chrome, hijacking was a business model that was discussed in regular meetings. I recall one hijacker trying to sell themselves to the company that was 'complaining' about the hijacks.

"Buy us out and we'll stop, and you can use the tech on your customers?!?"

One of the boldest business proposals I've been party to. After a few deep breaths and some laughter, the offer was not taken. But that wasn't a one-off event. Spent a lot of time in early 2010's directly trying to protect customers from this stuff. Still do, but it's getting much harder with TLS-everywhere, HSTS, DOH, and many other things. Not impossible though, we can never let up on the pressure to keep the ROI too low for hijacking. The various network operators and ISPs that let these companies put racks in their data-centers to inspect user traffic should be <<insert_your_own_horrible_idea_here>>.
I thought there were some hints of barter of sorts in palace economies from shipwrecks - no currency but incoming exotic commodities they couldn't produce and outgoing ships of commodities well beyond any personal use implies some trade relationships.

The fact Palace Economies all died out doesn't mean a barter economy never existed, just that it wasn't stable enough to leave any isolated "time capsule cultures". Granted palace economy commerce isn't on a personal level unless you count the ruler who allocates everything.

FBI, CISA Echo Warnings on ‘Vishing’ Threat
This is actually quite apparent on HN. There's a train you can follow. At the head of the train, going choo choo, is "I would pay $5 for this". The rest of the cars go like this:

- Oh, but not if I have to use Paypal

- Oh, but not if I have to use a credit card

- Oh, but not if I have to use a trackable payment system

- Bitcoin is trackable, Monero or never

- So I have to go through KYC just to pay Mozilla? No fucking way

- 100% of the money should go to tech writers

- Money is fungible, so how do I know they aren't just taking out other money to send this there

- Ever since Pocket, I've changed my mind

- Ever since Brendan Eich, I've changed my mind

- How is it fair that both the tech writer who wrote 20% of the content and the new guy get the same amount from donations?

- If DevTools isn't included there's no point

- If DevTools is included there's no point

And then, in the end, one guy gives like $5/month because he wants to prove to himself that he was honest.

In fact, I'll tell you what: if 50 people reply to this comment pledging $60/yr ($5/month), I'll have someone set up a GoFundMe with a goal of $120k/year to fund one technical writer full time (and his associated payroll taxes etc.). I'll match that with $5k of my own money and I'll handle full comms with Mozilla to try to get them to hire someone. So validation is 2.5% of the final sum. Show me.

Go for a drive in the country and look out for farms with "beef/bison for sale" signs up. If you don't see any, go into town and look for a butcher shop (or search for them online) and ask if they have farmers they work with to process steers.

No, because I believe you need it if you want your work/product/service seen and used by others. Relying on pure word of mouth doesn't work, especially not in the kind of timeframe needed for a company to stay solvent.

I also feel SEO gets an unfairly bad rap. Sure, it has been abused by dodgy sites, and those sites have indeed hurt Google's search results... but many strategies in white hat SEO basically boil down to 'write/create content people want and get it in front of them in logical ways'. A lot of times, good SEO and good usability/accessibility/design go hand in hand, since most of the things that help a site rank also tend to help the user as well.

I agree with everything you said - besides the "necessary" part.

As someone that currently (not going to sit in full trains/subways for 2h a day the way it is right now) sits in the car for around 100 minutes a day (at least for every day me and the little one commute in) - I really like cars for technical/nostalgic reasons, but god I hate cars so much.

It is not what a single car does, it is what happens when everyone drives cars - out of necessity and even worse: "for fun". The emissions, the wasted space, the streets, the parking, the noise, the stress, the anger (had a young girl on a bike beat my passenger window and swearing like a dock-worker because of a slightly dangerous confusion), the pain, the costs (for individuals and the society). It is just sad.

And no, sorry, electric cars will only solve one aspect of all the issues caused by everyone sitting in his own car. Autonomous driving only some others. There is no way ever growing societies can sensibly continue this way.

I want my train ride back. My little one also.
This is not possible in a "chicken and egg" situation: My app is a plugin for a main app. The main app can't find me to launch me until I "seed" its directory with a pointer to me.

To make my app visible to the main app, I place a "cookie" in the main app's directory (not my design), which is done by the installer script. Without this, the main app will never find my app. And the user can't launch me until he sees me in the list of available plugins. Vicious circle.
IMHO there are far bigger differences in how the different pipelines approach very basic things such as how to identify which parts of one person's brain corresponds to which part of a different person's brain and what sorts of corrections should be applied for the distortions. There's a lot of stuff done that "looks good" or based on analogy (for example by assuming the brain is essentially a block of jello or a fluid) or because a particular structure is needed for a type of desired analysis (i.e. the need for an invertible displacement field) that don't necessarily have any biologic basis. There's also the issue that some people just don't have "extra" or "missing" cortical folds depending on your perspective. Additionally a real problem in general is we can't really see enough of the microstructure of the brain with enough detail to see basic things that are seem to relate to processing capabilities like the cortical layer structure without histology.

Hah, nope. A delay of 150ms doesn't mean that events only happen every 150ms. Also even if events were sent in 150ms chunks, the offset of time within that chunk would still matter.

With that said, most games do have a maximum tick rate, so in a very misleading way you could say they are turn-based ;)

This is not to say that more people didn't vote for the opposition than the official numbers state. But Lukashenko still could have won.
It worked though. Both you and the GP ended up not working there, increasing the ratio of gullible fools that did end up working there. It's the same as the spammers with their Greetings in the name of God. If that turns you off you are not their mark, best to move on. Think of it as an optimization strategy from their part.
>One issue to watch out for are investors who lack operating experience but believe that they are “pattern matchers”.

WWII was brutal. It was an existential war that had to be won, and we did win, and at great cost and tragedy. I do not think Americans fetishize WWII, but I think we do think of WWII with some pride, not for the evil that was committed, but for the triumph over a larger evil. It is too easy to look back and criticize the hard choices leaders made when faced with terrible situations.

That’s one of the major challenges, where you need the data processing code to reassess what comes in.

Is there any way you share this piece of code across teams? One of the challenges I have seen, is how to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Like, its all there, somewhere, however, across team members, its quite difficult to pass on that knowledge of “hey, already have this data processing script” for another similar usecase.

DARPA has been fighting the last war for ~30 years and this is no exception. AI will always have an advantage when all the variables a known and can be calculated, because if we're honest, modern air combat in a radar dense environment is pretty much just a series of math problems. (between 4th generation fighters anyway)

I'm all for seeing if AI can come up with solutions to tactical problems that pilots can't, and as a training tool this might be very useful, I just don't see much value in this particular coverage of the topic.

Unless you are saving enough to be able to handle the unexpected loss of the asset being insured (in which case, yes, it doesn't make sense to buy insurance since you are able to self-insure), putting the money into savings instead of insurance means losing the peace of mind that you are buying when you buy insurance. If that peace of mind is worth more to you than the money, then buying insurance is a net gain.

A quality of most JIT systems I've experienced (and texts on the topic) is maintaining a sufficient buffer (alluded to in your last sentence). Taking it to its extreme (that is, essentially 0 inventory buffer) JIT only works if everything else works perfectly. That is an extreme position not endorsed by anyone or any text I have ever encountered. But it does remind me of the shitty takes on Agile I've seen (no planning, in particular). So seeing it in the wild would not surprise me.

"Sufficient" is dependent on a lot of factors, though. No one can tell you a definitive answer without knowing your system (your suppliers, your customers, your rates of production, your supply of capital to withstand a drop in production).
It can be a first step to creating a new distribution, but most people just do it as a learning experience.

Here's one example though of someone who went on to create a new distribution: http://www.nutyx.org/en/

To create a distribution, you need a package manager of some sort to manage software updates, and while LFS discusses some possible package managers that's not really its focus.
Pilots do black out during high G maneuvers and the planes seem to be fine, so this is already a limitation for a human+plane combo that a plane alone would not have.
Yep. As others point out, the evil came later. But I spent enough time in Middle Earth to know not to trust anything named Palantir as soon as I heard about them. If they knew enough to lift the name, but not enough to understand what it signified, I didn't trust their research skills from the start.

After giving it a first, quick read it really looks like a lot of similar ideas are shared between Stacker and this framework.

This is a classic arms race. The hijackers back off for a while, but as is always the case in low-margin, low-regulation, low-consequence environments, bad actors will present a way to skim a tiny value out a massive amount of transactions. Give a percentage of that to the network operator, and take the rest home.

The network operators enable this behavior. It would be next to impossible for it to be useful (ROI wise) if they didn't intentionally support it with access to their networks. It doesn't need to be an arms race, but we refuse to regulate or punish anyone in this space. We waste massive amounts of resources detecting and counteracting the hijacking services. The human (developer) cost is where the big waste is here, not electricity.

and the fight goes on....
Palantir's revenue was $742 million in 2019, so it's relative. How is Palantir going to scale to 10x, 100x current revenue? Is federal spending going to balloon to accommodate that growth?

Amazon took a bite out of big-box retailers. They could grow by stealing their competitor's revenue streams. Palantir doesn't have that option, unless there are other equally giant contractors they can knock out.
It's also not as simple as adding 7 more beds so we have all we need on 99.999% of days. Sure you have 14 beds, but you also need more doctors, nurses, surgeons, OTs, etc. to support those beds.

It's mostly a matter of mass. You would need crazy amounts of power to make a large aircraft make the same kind of turns that a small missile can do effortlessly, besides that it is much easier to make a small structure very strong. Try killing a flea if you want more proof of that.
