> I think that days of big expensive aircraft like modern fighters / bombers are numbered. They will likely be replaced with a swarm of drones, which are smaller, cheaper and harder to detect. For $100M (the price of just one fighter) you can field 10000 cheap drones and literally blot out the sun over the field of battle.

Maybe that's true of regional militaries.

The US wants to be able to project power - often quite far from bases. The drones you're talking about just don't have much of a range.

I'm not saying they won't be used - I'm sure they will be. But there will also be much larger and more expensive drones as well.
That's correct. They can't remove the MIT from forks—that would be illegal.
I feel like OP might be in the situation where he's just skipping a huge amount of BS. A lot of shiny flashy stuff bring built today is basically unmaintainable garbage wrapped in gold colored tinfoil.

You bring up C#. Microsoft is doing a big push towards a unified cross platform set of tools based around C#. Might make sense for OP to learn than because it's just a one step from what he's using now. Best code is being able to use netcore alongside the older tech and it interops fine. That said I'm out of my element here.

The Rust and python impl are fine. But I get it, Parquet may not be perfect or optimal or whatever. It works as a simple, typed, columnar format.

We had to pick a single file format recommendation for sending 100GB+ tables on FTP servers or dropbox, scanning terabytes of useless stuff only to grap an key-value pair, and properly reading integer and UTF-8 columns. Turns out, Parquet is practical. Enough for users to start using it instead of CSV. It could be Avro, but it's just not as easy.

As the offer is though, it's weird. I pay extra to use the simulator for a short time, then I get to stay in the same room and state at it, wishing I had more time using it. Very odd!
But Why?

In high school when I studied Japanese I learnt of these gaming parlours that had pachinko machines. You’d purchase a bucket of metal ball bearings and pour them in and they’d fairly randomly get stuck and flow through and may release other balls that are stuck there. I learnt that when you win you can swap your winnings for a teddy bear from the prize cabinet.

Only years later did I find out that the real system was you could then take the teddy across the street and swap it for CASH. The teddy bear was a front for what was really going only, but in the process everyone saved face.

I suspect a similar thing is happening here.

IMO, it seems like there's always a tradeoff once we've restricted ourselves to interesting options, because those options are interesting because they're not obviously dominated by other options.

If we consider any possible solution, we can obviously imagine adding a completely spurious detail.
At the very least it's a really cool talking point and way to lead into crypto, esp. when talking to kids about it. And some cool dice ;)
And that is relevant exactly how?

The app cost has to cover the development and maintenance costs, marketing, any overhead and expenses (like bills, electricity, those expensive Apple computers), etc.

That's the majority of your costs, not some imaginary distribution costs that you don't have because you aren't shipping a physical box. Oh and taxes too, which come out of the revenue too. And if I remember right, you are taxed on the value of the sold goods, before the 30% Apple cut (so you pay tax from that too, even though you never see the money).

There's a saying that drone warfare enthusiasts keep reinventing the guided missile. Proponents point out that drones are cheap and disposable compared to the value of the targets they attack. But a drone can travel further, faster, and with more armor and ordinance if it doesn't carry fuel to return or equipment to land.

Back when OkCupid used to publish interesting statistics, they showed exactly that. It was dramatic and unmistakable. Male value starts low, gradually rises until about age 30, doesn't change much until about age 50, and then very slowly declines. Female value looks almost like a 1/age plot, starting very high and in a downward plunge. No data was available for females under age 18, but the graph slope suggests that value is higher.

It's newspeak for the same shit.
The problem with missiles is that they have a limited amount of propellant. Most missiles will spend the majority of their flight time gliding toward their target after the initial boost phase. Fighters can spend hours in the sky, and fly thousands of miles away from their home base. Missiles are limited to a range of several hundred miles and a few minutes max, even with advanced loitering technologies.
Here, I think that we can clap for all the "Apple products" fanboys that have led us to this new world where a lot of people are thinking that it is normal that 2 companies have the arbitrary and dictatorial right to decide what is allowed to run on an user device just because they sold it...

Imagine, a car manufacturer that would remotely block cars for using highways that they don't like or have not paid the "tribute" to them.

Or, the gouvernement of one of the few remaining real democracies that will arbitrary dictate everything that you can or cannot do, based on arbitrary decisions depending of their personal preferences or financial interests.
That doesn't sound like it would work amazingly well.

First thought is that the 'meta-ransomers' would probably only get one or two shots at such an action working before the major groups make some sort of statement (and even perhaps provide some sort of way to 'authenticate' that it an attack is from one of of the more 'trustworthy' ransomware groups.)

Second thought is that it would have to be a gutsy group of rogue actors or group of rogue actors. A lot of these underground folks still know each other one way or another and this would probably be considered a big 'f--- you' to the rest of the community. Bridges would be burned, unspoken agreements in the sphere may be violated. You could even see the ransomers quickly turn their efforts to exposing the meta-ransomers.

On the other hand, it could become an 'arms race' as the meta and non-meta ransomers start trying to shut each other's ransomware down
I don't despise marketing in general, just marketing done for the sake of marketing. For example I hate blog posts that are create purely for SEO purposes.

Personally I just can't start marketing my product, even though I think it's one of the best in its space (analytics). The reason: I want to be sure it's the best, otherwise I would feel that I am just tricking people into buying an inferior product (which is what most marketing does nowdays, trick people into buying lower quality products for more money).

I think product should precede marketing. First make something great, then let people know about it. Build something truly better and only after that let the world know. Don't trick people into buying shitty products.

This tends to be a focus of the Bitcoin community a lot more than other cryptocurrency communities. Bitcoin has technologies such as ASN based sybil attack protections [1], satellite broadcasts that cover most of the land area of the earth [2], and setups that allow Bitcoin to be broadcast over Ham Radio [3].

Of course that's not to say the problem is ignored by other communities. Many people are well aware of the full set of dependencies of these crypto projects and the ways that external forces might be disruptive. And many people are working on increasingly sophisticated ways to eliminate these dependencies or ensure viable alternatives if worst comes to worst.

That's one trait of narcissism, the main one is thinking that the world begins and ends with you.

Planes generally can't pull more Gs than the humans inside without needing to go through an extensive maintenance process.

Even then, as has been said countless times in this thread, high-G maneuvers don't do shit against modern missile threats. They might be useful for dogfighting with guns, but given the range and accuracy of modern missiles, combined with proximity fuzes, it simply doesn't accomplish much.

Against a weaker enemy, you'll never have the need to pull Gs in the first place. Against an equal or stronger enemy, it won't do a damn bit of difference anyway.

The most entertaining argument I read about this whole scandal is that it wasn't fraud, it was theft, and that's why the US Attorney is going after it on behalf of the colleges. Theft from the colleges.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-13/you-ha...

"...Here is one thing that U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in announcing the charges:

“There can be no separate college admissions system for the wealthy, and I'll add that there will not be a separate criminal justice system either.”

Level playing field! Here is another thing he said less than a minute later:

“We’re not talking about donating a building so that a school’s more likely to take your son or your daughter. We’re talking about deception and fraud.”

There can be no separate college admissions system for the wealthy, except for the extremely well-known one where you donate a building in exchange for getting your kid in! “Lol just donate a building like a real rich person,” the U.S. Attorney almost said. Josh Barro’s analysis on Twitter is exactly right:

The admissions slots were stolen from the colleges and resold on the black market. Which is a crime, for good reason. We don’t have to act like there wasn’t a legal, primary market for the admissions slots already.

I think the key is not to understand this as a crime against other applicants, or the public, or “fairness.” It’s a crime against the schools.

It is not about fairness; it is about theft. Selective colleges have admissions spots that they want to award in particular ways. They want to award some based on academic factors; they want to award others based on athletic skill; they want to award others in exchange for cash, but—and this is crucial—really a whole lot of cash. Buildings are not cheap.

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding what you are saying, but it sounds to me like you are suggesting that the consequences of a 1-of-N failure are inherently worse than the consequences of an N-of-N failure, which is not a fundamental truth in any way. It is entirely possible for a 1-of-N system to have better recovery modes than an N-of-N system, in fact it's often much easier to tumble / enhance / improve the root of trust in a 1-of-N system than it is to do so in an N/2-of-N system. (for example, in the case of rolling trusted setup ceremonies vs. multi-party-computation).
I don't see how that's possible from his comment:

> If you don't know that, it is not allowed to sell for more in iOS than in your site, and the app will get banned for attempting that

He seems to believe that Apple explicitly bans apps from charging more for iOS subscriptions / IAPs than they do elsewhere (e.g. purchasing the subscription on their website), but I can find no evidence to support this, and a lot of evidence to the contrary.

I know people that advocate putting everything in redux. They are quite serious about this. Then you end up with reselect everywhere and the whole goddamn universe is memoized. No one seems to know how React renders (or re-renders), so memoize everything! Yes! That's the ticket.

The overuse of Redux and the React hook brain damage stems from the tide finally turning against OOP. Haskell did a number on the OOP paradigm. So everyone is afraid of encapsulated state and localized logic. Then you end up with React hooks. Instead of making React's object API better, they choose to make functions worse. So everyone is pretending they are doing functional programming when in reality they are just using functions that are bastardized with this weird flavor of dynamic scoping and all the subtleties of that. But I digress.

Today, there are a thousand different ways to do web development wrong and practically no way to do it right. Starting with misconfiguring webpack and working up the stack. It's a true complexity quagmire. But surely there is a SaaS or open source toolkit (with adjacent commercial services!) coming soon to help guide us out of the fog.

Just kidding. This hell of ours is by design.
