Technically, a lathe. However, it very much depends on how you define "can replicate itself". You probably need at least a foundry to melt metal as well to do it truly "from scratch" and I'm not sure you can make one completely with a lathe.

Not really referring to these type of decisions, but things like "should we extract this into a service, instead of having it to live in the monolith?", "should we use this type of tech to X" type of decisions that in most organisation is left in the hands of the multi-layer above hands-off manager that don't see the code, don't deal with it yet unable to see the disastrous implications of not addressing things.
IMHO, organisations are better off leaving tech decisions to the people who _actively_ deal with that tech or at least give a higher weight to their take on the matter

Really? The world where you get discounts based on volume? That’s the world as it has existed forever. Do you want to now have a law passed where no company is allowed to offer bulk discounts?

I also can’t get the same component discounts if I opened up “Scarface’s PC Shop” to build and sell PCs that Dell gets.
I haven't documented it, but it's very simple.
For one, it's not the only one. And instead of just talking earnestly about a cool feature of Vue in a Vue thread, to say nothing of other frameworks, you've now anchored the convo to framework comparison with your incorrect premise.
I have a way to do this: I have a smartphone without an unlimited data plan. I can use it out of the home for calls, texts, notes, photos, music, and cached maps, without being tempted to surf the web or whatever. If I need a map or a web browser urgently, I can still use data, but I pay a relatively high rate for it. I call this a "self-imposed vice tax".

Of course, on wifi, it can do everything that phone with a normal data plan can do. I just don't bother, because most of the time I'm on wifi, I have a laptop available. Especially these days.
Cost is just the standard economies of scale. Going from MWh of battery storage to GWh of battery storage will produce those cost reductions. Li-Po batteries had had 20C discharge rates for many years. Nothing is really unexpected or breaking new ground.

> Many technologies don't get adopted. I have not seen a falling cost curve anywhere in fuel cells. The fuel cell cars are still incredibly expensive, 100% not competitive and not getting rapidly cheaper. Fuel cells get pushed by China, Korea and Japan governments funds far, far more then any intrinsic cost curve that is happening in the market. Even after decades of constant investment by Japan, they have barley made a blip in the market and when they appear at all they are heavily subsidized all the way from research to the fuel stations.

You suffer from the "not paying attention" disease. In the last few years, the biggest story in cleantech is the rapid reduction in fuel cell, hydrogen production, distribution and storage costs. Basically everything you said is obsolete already.

I guess I am in the "crazy conspiracy-theorist" minority here but I see it as an actual security situation.

And I believe the reason they are talking about Microsoft and Oracle is because the intelligence agencies are suggesting that it would actually be a good outcome if they were able to effectively access that userbase. Whereas it is not tolerable otherwise.

Monitoring and controlling millions of people's information streams is a national security issue. And whether people want to believe it or not, all countries have propaganda programs.

And just in case the above isn't enough to get buried, I will throw out an even crazier theory. TikTok is such mindless garbage it's reducing attention spans of kids even more. It may actually be making American children even stupider.

I listened to his quakecon talks about the physics of light many many times. The guy is fascinating how his mind works.

URL shortening is just one use case for generating redirects. I wrote a similar module for Hakyll ('Hakyll.Web.Redirect' https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hakyll-4.13.4.0/docs/Hak...) but my intent was to allow renaming pages without breaking links and fixing the (truly innumerable) number of user errors in linking/writing URLs.

Because every original URL must be a valid file name, it does limit you compared to the full rewrite capabilities of Apache or Nginx, but that's the price you pay for a fully-static site. (I thought vaguely about writing some JS you could put in a 404.html to snoop the intended URL and do a lookup in a table to redirect to, but never got around to figuring out the details.)
The reason why is that presenting facts and concrete logic is more compatible with a greater array of people, whereas ethics and morals are subjective. Using a moral argument is not going to be as persuasive in business (particularly

>Can Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Google Chat, Slack, Discord, and others operate freely in China?

Actually yes, as long as they adhere to Chinese data laws. That's why iMessage, FaceTime, Skype, etc are all able to operate freely in China. All those laws apply to Chinese companies too.

What American data law can TikTok/WeChat adhere to to operate here? Do those laws apply to American companies as well?

That's like saying cash enabled drug and arms trade, or that encryption enables terrorists to communicate.

Cash, Bitcoin, and encryption are neutral technologies that can be used in negative ways.
Well obviously that will never happen. It just sucks for those of us with friends in China where all we want to do is keep in contact. I blame China more than the US but this whole fight for control over communication platforms is so annoying and leaves most of us helpless.
Cut the ads out.
I thought the border restriction was just about having been in China in the last 14 days. Couldn't she get back into the US if she went to a different country first for 14 days?
Agreed. I'd have it set up so that there is some local storage via a USB3 thumb drive to hold the container images, which anecdotally pretty easily hits 80MB/s for reads, often hovering in the 100-110MB/s range.

> If it's an empirical fact, how much objection from how many (and which) people is enough to cross the line into controversial?

Any. Controversial is a continuous-valued, not binary, attribute.

How controversial is enough to justify a particular reaction? That's a political judgement, and in practice has as much to do with where you stand on the controversy as how much controversy there is.
STL (and .OBJ) are common exchange formats for mesh output. For solids, which FreeCAD and OpenCASCADE mostly deals in, the typical exchange formats would be STEP (and IGES). Solids can have perfect circles, surfaces etc - where as meshes are just a bunch of 3d vertices with straight line between them. But still there is much information not present in a solid exchange format, like how the model was made: Constraints, feature operations, constraints, undo stack etc.
You can order a radio with High VHF, UHF, 700/800, 900, LTE or with any of the two above, Harris has the (it does something we affectionately call DC-Daylight - aka, the entire EM spectrum), SG-XG100 I think does basically everything, 30MHz to 1000MHz.

Low Band is a special case, because of the sheer antenna size, which is huge, and unwieldily low band handhelds are also near useless.

TL;DR: "Fire" (from the first sentence) wasn't shooting something but the beginning of a cyber exercise. Started with a successful phishing email and got lucky because an ISIS operative was re-using the same password in several places.

That article was painfully too long.
To me the main thing to remember is [what Joel Spolski said about rewrites](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...):

"As if source code rusted. The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they’ve been fixed. There’s nothing wrong with it. It doesn’t acquire bugs just by sitting around on your hard drive."

By that token, blindly updating your dependencies sounds more like the problem and so does writing your new code in place of their old. Security patches may force your hand but apart from that, if you want stability just be deliberate about upgrading and it will be rare for old dependencies to suddenly generate new bugs.

As far I see it, the right way to think about good, reliable code is not as a compact, resilient thing like a baseball but like a matchstick sculpture glued together with maple syrup. It is both inherently very fragile and very unlikely to spontaneously break if good decisions went into the design of its supporting structures and because it's mounted to the sturdy, climate controlled plinth of the silicon chip.

In the article, these supporting structures such as compilers, OS and firmware are mentioned but if we don't trust these then we simply should all stop trusting computers. Most of us believe that this broad societal dependency has been a good tradeoff bringing us an amount of good which is so hard to outweigh even by an imagined disaster.

The same goes for most of the dependencies in the average ruby project (don't know what to say about JS). They are battle-hardened and bring value that companies would pay massive sums for were they not free.

There are of course the odd suspect, unnecessary dependencies in most projects. Usually they're for trivial uses and easy to remove. When you discover these few they do not indicate that the rest of your package list was a mistake. The fact that 90% of the problems you have come from 5% of the dependencies (made up statistic) should tell you that your project will be dead before the other 95% let you down.

Those experts at the WHO predicted, in March, that if Sweden does not enforce a lockdown as recommended by the WHO, it will have 96,000 deaths on 1-July.

The non-expert Michael Levitt, predicted at the same time, by fitting 3 parameters of a Gompertz distribution (And no other knowledge), that Sweden will have 5000 deaths on 1-July if things continue as they were when he made the prediction (that is, no WHO recommended lockdown).

I'll leave it to you to lookup the Swedish death count on 1-July to see if the expert epidemiologists from the WHO had a better idea than non-expert Levitt. (But I'll give you a hint: It is mid september, and Sweden has ~6000 deaths).
It doesn't sound as if you recognize the concept of an obligation at all. Yes, we all have agency. Locking someone in a room without their consent is illegal. Taking someone's money without their consent is illegal as well. But I am nevertheless obliged to remain at work until 5:30, and my boss is obliged to pay me. When we enter into relationships of any type with other people, we willingly sacrifice our agency in myriad ways. Sometimes you have to meet people halfway on things. And sex isn't some super special thing that sits untouchably above all the rest of social interaction - it's just one more thing that, invariably and in many ways, you will have to compromise on.

>going on about how your spouse is obliged to pleasure you certainly isn't going to improve things.

Going on about consent isn't either.
Battery energy density hasn't moved much at all. At best, we're at around 270-280 Wh/kg, and that requires a huge departure from our early understanding of battery safety. The early BEVs were relatively safe, even in a severe accident where the cells are damaged. In modern BEVs, any puncture or damage to the cell is a fire hazard. We've pretty much accepted that all BEVs are extremely flammable. Tesla has nothing of note, and ultimately they're lying or greatly exaggerating what they have.

> Where is that happening exactly?

It is happening everywhere simultaneously. Right now, tens of billions of dollars are being invested in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Anyone who pays attention knows that the revolution is happening as we speak.

In the past, traders were siloed and no individual trader would have access to the total positions of all the traders on the floor. Some firms still operate this way, though it's more common for trading operations to be broken up into "pods" or teams of traders and analysts.

The industry has largely moved away from this structure for a variety of reasons. One of the problems is that traders start to try and undermine each other, since the only thing that matters is your personal pnl. Another problem is that traders can unknowingly all pile into the same investments, resulting in massive risk. This is part of the reason why the Great Recession was so bad.

React is a quite bit more all-in than Vue though. For example, an old app I'm aware of has HTML generated by JSP with its own convoluted maven build process and uses a mix of AngularJS and jQuery to hydrate client-side functionality on top of it. The development workflow is a draconian exercise in acrobatics through remote desktops and VPNs in really old laptops (because "security" and unions).

Vue has similar hydration capabilities as Angular, but with React, you are pretty much forced to describe the view from scratch in JSX. To make things more fun, many islands need to be aware of each other, something that is not super idiomatic in React land.

Just some food for thought.
Thanks! Haven't read the book yet, and forgot the name from the movie.

You have to understand the human element. In any big organization, you have many teams with varying security practices working on systems.

It's simply impossible to consistently recruit developers with good security knowledge, especially if we want, as an industry, to take responsibility for getting new developers up the first few rungs of the ladder.

And you do need a mechanism that can provide defense for legacy applications, or to quickly mitigate 0-days.

As long as we can't guarantee that developers won't screw up, we need tools for cyber-security to mitigate these attacks. WAFs and other layered security devices do fill that need.

However!

Any layered security device must be bypassable. Your WAF is probably configured by the same people who make the automated security tests your pen-testers run.

If your pen-testers aren't bypassing layered security and attacking your application directly, then you're not really doing layered security anymore. Your WAF's security becomes snake oil, and your application's security is untested.
FYI, on Safari for iOS, changing the search filters created 20+ history entries (way more than 1 per click).

Otherwise, seems to do what it claims :) I could see adding some kind of rating or at least a one-line description (what’s unique about it?) to the bike listing. My search matched 7 or 8 similar-looking bikes, so I needed a little more info in the results or I’d have had to open each one in a new tab. Consumer Reports’ numeric rating (https://www.consumerreports.org/electric-bikes/electric-bike...) might be one option.

I am focusing on WeChat only with this comment.

It is not narrowly tailored or least restrictive. Narrowly tailored means the law must be precisely written to minimize the 1st Amendment impact. In this case, this order prevents millions of Americans from using their primary (and oftentimes only) method to communicate with family in China. There is no practical alternative to WeChat as all other similar apps are banned in China, so this order is extremely restrictive.
I think this would be better rephrased as:
"When will @akersten(me) come out and say "no" to this?"

The app stores are on your phone, the apps you should install on your property should be your decision and no government or company should have any say on this.

Its a matter of right, its a matter of freedom, and we should not just have the sad option to choose the one who we will abdicate our freedom for.

We should not fall for this false dichotomy of choice where by picking any of them, we loose our freedoms anyway, only having the freedom to choose who will pick for us.
