Yeah, consider logistics of stealing 1000 tons of something. If it's not organized big truck removal, you are looking at ferrying max 200-300kg at a time with small car, loading one ton of fertilizer with shovel will also take more than a hour during which thieves can be nabbed. After two years in humid environment you can't use shovel anymore, you have to use pickaxe to split it apart into large chunks (and explosion risk is relatively high for such operation). That's why no company was interested, it was not easily useful for anyone.
Why are you just focussing on Israel and France, why not look at India who has been facing terror attacks even before Israel even existed.

Conservatives are by nature conservative. They prefer gradual change to over night revolution. They want to see the proof that something will work. Instead of saying “we must eliminate the internal combustion engine” say “we must continue to improve the automobile” and instead of “we need a green economy” “we need an efficient and independent economy”. You do have to live up to your words though, conservatives are also very detail oriented and will call you out if you don’t deliver.

Ce n'est pas gai pour Simone, mais il n'y aura d'appartement convenable que quand on aura fichu à la porte tous les ignobles youtres qui nous encombrent. [0]

A rough translation of the last sentence might be:

> It's not cheerful for Simone, but there won't be a suitable apartment until we have kicked out all the vile youtres [slur for Jew] that plague us.

But, to be more charitable to the man, it was a time where anti-semitism was wide spread, and doesn't seem to be more than the norm of the time. But it isn't really ambiguous.

"A massive 19% of black Americans would like to see less police. i.e. just take their chances."

"A massive 19% of overweight Americans would like to eat less food. i.e. just starve."

Suppose there were police hanging out in front of your door all day, and you said you wanted to see less police. Does that mean you want to "just take your chances"?

The question is what the threshold should be before cops feel justified in coming by. Wanting the threshold higher doesn't mean you want it so high they never come.

You're right that a design, verification and test bench can easily rack-up several hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment.

But there are trade-offs that can lower the capital cost, like leasing the equipment, using a third party for aspects of the design/test, carefully evolving known good designs and simply budgeting a lot more for more PCB re-spins.

In the finally analysis those to want to make products in this domain aren't doing it on a shoestring budget, it's going to cost a lot no matter what.
That's a really cool framework. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Ah, I'm such an idiot for not thinking of inlining!

The problem with writing the loop on the WASM side is that passing the data back and forth between JS and WASM involves typed arrays and array buffers. That has significant overhead of its own. Still, good suggestion, I should try that with a pixel buffer!

> For what it's worth, (scalar) numerical operations in JS are actually quite close to C. It's not like python.

Indeed, and I am generally very impressed and happy with the performance of JavaScript these days! In my experience it only takes a little bit of effort to hint at the compiler if we're working with doubles or 32 bit integers, and then it goes really fast. In this particular case however we needed 64 bit integer arithmetic, so that's a bit of an edge-case.

I think the best clarification of this is to separate out fault from responsibility; and the analogy to explain was snow on your sidewalk. Is it your fault that there's a foot of snow and ice on the walkways in front of your house? No -- you had no control over that. Is it your responsibility to shovel it / put out salt to prevent people from falling and hurting themselves? Yes.

Similarly, if you're white and/or well-off, is it your fault that things are tilted your way? No. Is it your responsibility to try to do something to make the field more level? Yes.
I’m confused: a random boat shows up in a random port and some sort of supernatural “no sparrow fall” system is going to magically decide that somehow it’s of interest? The dots can’t even be connected backwards.

I expect that WASM doesn't have the concurrency model required by a modern concurrent garbage collector like Go's, but perhaps I'm wrong.
The thing is that I had expectations of why the boundary crossing was so slow. I expected a no-heap WASM function that returns a simple value to be pretty fast, but as the other comment points out the "boundary" in this case might not be the WASM/JS boundary so much as the inability to inline WASM.

64-bit integer arithmetic is fast in WASM (these emulators are full of bit-twiddling on 64-bit integers: https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/).

Calling overhead between WASM and JS is significant though, but it has already been optimized massively [1], I doubt that this can be improved much further). Calling a very small function across language borders is amost always a bad idea, not just in the specific JS=>WASM context.

[1] https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/calls-between-javascript-a...

PS: also contrary to popular belief, JS and WASM have similar performance for simple number crunching tasks because in that situation JS is pretty fast, Javascript only becomes slow when objects and properties come into play.

This means things like recognising that being gay is a thing, that it's a normal and perfectly ok way to be, and that the person in question is in fact gay and accepted into the group as such.

It's the opposite of the kind of parenting that makes people nervous to "come out" (which many gay kids will have grown up in).
Would it surprise you to know that the US is actually low on the scale of police officers per capita?

Your comment is based on a false assumption. Demilitarizing the police would be a great idea! But the idea of defunding presumes excess funds.

Data on funding amounts are a bit harder to come by but they generally show the US has less police funding than Europe per capita.

This is fascinating because I am myself half black, lived in many communities of mixed demographics and never once heard a friend (of any race) say they want more police at all, ever.
This quote is relevant:

The problem for Epic — and, I suppose, for me — is that to this observer it seems exceedingly likely that Apple is going to win this case, last night’s decision notwithstanding. Current Supreme Court jurisprudence is very clear that businesses — including monopolies — have no duty to deal with third parties, and if they do choose to deal with them (or are even compelled to), that they can choose the terms on which to do so. The only exceptions are if the monopoly in question changes the rules in an unprofitable way with the express purpose of driving out a competitor, or if any company — not even a monopoly — changes access to after-market parts and services.

Current US antitrust law does not favor Epic in this matter. Of Epic's ten claims, their strongest claim is probably the one tying in-app payment processing to app distribution services, but even that one is far from a slam dunk. And even if they were to succeed on that particular claim, the likely outcome would be that they would get to keep their payment system in Fortnite, not that they would be able to run their own app store.

I think people need to temper their expectations unless the laws change in the years it takes for this case to make it through the courts. A court ruling that Apple must allow third-party in-app payment systems is a somewhat realistic outcome, whereas a court ruling that Apple must permit third-parties to run their own app stores is probably a non-starter.

TBH the argument that it reinforce popular usage is a valid one, at MS we were taught again and again on how to design good experiments using telemetry but at the end it's hard to support changes when your data shows that something is working properly, and UI changes tend to produce a dip in usage or satisfaction graphs until they catch-up.
" never once heard a friend (of any race) say they want more police at all, ever."

I have never in my life heard anyone talk about having 'more or less police' - so why is it surprising that you haven't heard about it.

The polls is not about 'what someone was saying unsolicited' - it was about 'what they actually think'.

There's nothing surprising or funny about it.

"Because, some rural areas in America have a "posse" system where volunteers get to ride around armed, sometimes outfitted (by taxpayer money) with bulletproof vests and big stickers for their cars showing their semi-official affiliation with the police"

This has nothing to do with anything.

People want more or less police for the obvious reasons - also - despite the rhetoric, most Black communities are actually under policed, not over policed.
