In an a NATO-Russian conflict, having free movement of Russian troops through Belarus means you only have a 50 mile gap to fight through to link up with Kaliningrad, as opposed to over 300 miles directly from the rest of Russia. At 50 miles Kaliningrad and Russian forces fighting from Belarus could have overlapping SAM cover and MLRS artillery support, it's well within the combat radius of attack helicopters, etc. And there are railway lines around that corridor that, once seized, would enable efficient transport of material.

You have a ~10 minute window every ~90 minutes IIRC.

The HAM sport is mostly about establishing contacts of increasing difficulty, not about making boring, rock-solid reliable communication links. 10 minutes is plenty for that, and helps stop people trying to hog the thing as only one person can be received at a time.

Outside experimentation (e.g. trying an antenna, transmitter or receiver design), the HAM radios on the ISS are also used for school-astronaut contacts.
IMO it needs two things:

I've always been puzzled by the estimated age of the universe at being 13 billion years. That's just the size of the observable universe, correct? Isn't there a future horizon beyond which light will not currently reach us?

We can more readily validate gravitational lensing than any early universe physics. So my guess would be that modeling the lensing is the easy part to validate :)
In addition to all the other people saying how this is wrong, particularly for older people and people who are better at speaking and listening than reading and writing, there are several other use cases where they are a superior input mode.

As a detractor of these devices and someone who will never own one unless it does all the voice recognition locally, I found this to my surprise and regret.

First is when your hands are full. If you're in the kitchen, or working with tools, you can get a unit conversion, look up some fact, or change the music.

Second is as an input device to a TV. Particularly when there are a number of different applications you could open. Fidgeting around with a remote is difficult, and even if you had a keyboard it might be on the other side of the room from where you are. (Part of the problem being solved here is integration between apps and input devices, not just the voice input.)

Despite their advantages, the current situation is as if you could only buy a keyboard from 2 or 3 companies, and you were only allowed to type things that they allowed on it. And all your keystrokes were sent to their servers to be interpreted first.
Plants ferry carbon into their roots and into the soil, where it remains in a stable form. Also, increased CO2 is only one of the reasons temperatures are rising. Cloud coverage has an impact on temperatures too, and plant transpiration puts a lot of water into the air, so even planting in soils that already are already saturated with carbon will have an impact.
I think what they mean is that (from my experience on both sides) small kids are noisy, messy and very active. This makes parenting in a shared environment (if you care about your neighbors) hard. When you go camping the kids have space, can get dirty, get tired and go to bed early. I'll take a crying baby camping over banging and yelling through a hotel room wall any day.

If investors are not irrational about the long term, then I don't see how there can be a problem. Prices will correctly reflect long-term expectations, and managers who are paid in options/hold equity will face the right set of incentives. If managers focus on the short term it's probably because it maximizes long-term value.

> Needing to download a million random packages from grad students of the internet is a recipe for disaster.

This is baloney. You don't need to rely on a million R packages. You really only need a good plotting library (the built-in one is fine, or use ggplot), a good data frame library (dplyr, data.table, or use build-in one), and a few extras to handle some weird rough edges (lubridate, forcats).

This takes you to 90% to your analysis goals.

Only novices are 'using a million random packages', which is probably the case for python as well.

C and C++ are here to stay for a while for the performance/control fans. I think i speak for a good portion of developers when i say that we understand the "safety" concerns about them, but at the same time it's part of the learning curve and precisely why they are so powerful and seeked.

The thing with reading is that the main point is often buried beneath realms of text. A movie can deliver the same concept in two hours when a book typically takes several days.

Another thing with reading is that there's no logical reason why the content you're reading is better than television. If TV can have crap so can books.

I have found that reading builds biases better than television. The reason is that reading takes much more effort than television and oftentimes the more effort you spend on something the more bias towards it you develop.

I've found that in general if you want to have a larger breadth of knowledge... youtube videos are actually awesome at distilling concepts and getting to the main point.

I'm saying this as someone who use to and still actively reads books.

That definition has affordability and some amount of processing and convenience inherent in it because of the word "supermarket". So it means that you can't get good food with a reasonable amount of effort, and without needing access to things like large chest freezers or canning equipment.

My guess is that you lived in an area with plenty of produce, close to a farm or something like that. This is my preferred setup as well, but it is a) expensive and b) hard to process and store in the quantities you get. Typically you get tens of pounds of tomatoes one month and nothing the next.

They do reference swiping in the config page and in their update changelog from June but they're talking about marking messages in a folder, not navigating.

The language is so vast and intractable: how does one start?

There's nothing to discuss because you don't really have much of an argument. "Look around. Things are better than what they were" doesn't negate the fact that market forces are bad at distributing resources. You can look at the COVID-19 crisis as well. "Market forces" led to distribution channels with no redundancy, leaving the United States with a shortage of something super basic: PPE.
Except that the universal adoption of sports would result in a net positive. The same cannot be said for pornography.

My reading of this is that it only affects old, weak cipher suites that don't support forward secrecy, so only hosts that have an insecure configuration anyway are affected by this.
Hey ogre_codes, thanks for your question. Our core target market is enterprise app development. We have many of these customers who are using the platform today. We built this new version of our IDE based on a need that we identified by spending a lot of time talking to our customers. Using traditional professional development approaches (for example, .NET, hybrid app frameworks, native app dev, etc.) is just too expensive for them to build all the apps that they need. That's why many of them have adopted low-code/no-code platforms which allow them to build apps with a point-and-click approach. But the problem is that the limitations of those platforms become problematic when they start building slightly more complex apps. That's why we built our platform (and our new IDE) to fill the gap between no-code/low-code and pro-code tools: We created a high-productivity platform that is code-centric (JavaScript and TypeScript). We've done studies with our customers showing that using the platform is between 9x and 10x less expensive as far as developer hours to build enterprise apps.

Every time I took my car in for a service and would look at cars on the showroom floor, I would ask about Apple CarPlay options and tell the sales person how I have no inclination to buy a new car until the current one becomes problematic or the new ones have the option of me not having to rely on their not great UI for the lifetime of the car.
This might not be a great comparison, however, when Japan was ascendant some of that might was attributed to their “long-view”. Companies on the nikkei were government backed and didn’t have the same quarterly results demands seen in other exchanges... and that was proven right to about the mid-90s. Then it was revealed that those companies on occasion invested in areas they had no expertise or had poor returns. Not that the current system of chasing quarterly results is good, but how is the Japanese experience avoided?
I’d be very curious if those can be implemented in a performant way.

Granted, but there are lots and lots of ways they can break scrapers in the pursuit of their core business, such as a website redesign. For example, moving from static HTML to a web framework would require your scraper to actually run the JavaScript to generate the DOM in the state that a reader might view it in, and this is quite a lot more complicated than walking the static HTML.

Complexity always exists somewhere. You can't remove it, only try it make it easier to deal with.

What Kubernetes allows you to do is very complex so you need a capable system to express it all. YAML isn't always the best but it works fine for most and tools like these are very helpful.

Do you use an IDE? Does that mean the language and framework is too complex? No, it's just a tool to help you get things done. More tools aren't a bad thing.
Both are good if you want a quick start & temporary solution or as a landing page for your all. But in a long run it is better to have a custom website.

> I can't buy a used cpu from an SGI US customer and put it in an SGI EU motherboard.

Correct, but that's less a region thing and more this just poisons all used CPUs.

As in you don't even know if an SGI US CPU will work in a different SGI US motherboard. There's no particular reason to assume all SGI US motherboard models will have the same signing key. Within the same model that'd almost certainly be the case, but if it's a different model, especially different chipset, I don't know why they would necessarily strive to keep the key the same across different firmware branches.

> I can buy a new CPU from anyone though, but then I can only sell it in-region.

Er, why? Nothing about this stops you from re-selling CPUs however you want. Or are you still talking about the used market here?

Hi there! So OXIDE is interesting in that it has what we believe are the best of the typical low-code tools, but integrated in a way that the developer can easily transition to and fro into typical pro-code development. The screenshot on the homepage shows a plethora of the various tools and features that OXIDE has, but the IDE can easily be configured for low-code or pro-code development independently. Out of the box we provide some default workspaces that cater for the typical paradigms of software development on our platform, which are not as complex as in the screenshot.

Regarding the OSS, we deeply integrate it into the IDE effectively removing most of the configuration and complexity required to make it all work well together.

I was classifying all search result ordering manipulation as "amazons choice/similar", as they're all equivalent to a supermarket placing some products in desirable locations, and they all can not really make use of an "ad profile", as once the person is actively looking to buy a particular product, most of the work of traditional advertising has already happened.

This means the "ad profile" of folks who do not use screens and only interact with voice is relatively worthless: the best you can do is push them towards buying your brand when they're already looking for your product-class, and at that point the "ad profile" adds relatively little to the experience, probably just an idea of how much money you're willing to spend. Given Amazon doesn't currently adjust search results based on a prediction of how much you'll spend [1], this information is probably not that valuable.

Compare this to the value-add of traditional ad profiles: mine would say that I'm interested in, lets say, high end audio products, outdoor equipment, and dog products, which means anywhere I go online or on mobile apps I constantly get a barrage of ads for various products in these categories. If I see one I'm interested in, I'm likely to buy it right then and there. There's no voice-only equivalent of that, unless people start asking "tell me something I should buy" (Asking "tell me an item in {category} I should buy" is skipping over the ad profile)

All in all, this means folks without screens are post-ad: they will only be shown products they're already looking for (in adjusted order, sure), rather then being shown products they had no idea about but might be interested in. This is bad news for advertising firms and new product developers, though they probably weren't getting much money from these folks in the first place.

[1]: I only buy high-end audio products, I've bought many high-end audio products, and if I search "bookshelf speaker", I'll get cheap trash for the top results, telling me that Amazon is not interested in targeted whale-hunting, for whatever reason.
This is a cheap shot at Ellul, as he has been proved more right than wrong even though he was writing about technology and our technological society since the 1960s-1970s (a very difficult thing to achieve, being right on technology, that is). As such, I personally think that he has “done” a lot more compared to other people, witness how even FB multi-millionaires have started following him and his ideas (knowingly or unknowingly).

> Is it anymore complex than all the old ways?

> Was Apache, Asterisk, or loading and hardening a Linux host on bare metal easier?

Yes, and by far. Adding a layer on top of all the traditional Linux daemons, tools and libraries does not decrease the total complexity - quite the contrary.

When you have a bug in an application that is related to something in on another layer you have to walk through the whole stack.

Examples: A bug in a network card impacting only large UDP packets. A race condition of file access triggered by NFS or a storage device driver. A vulnerability based on a timing attack due to CPU caches.

The deeper the stack, the worse.
