> 100% pure clickbait

And thus you undermine your case. It obviously isn't "100% pure clickbait". (What would that even mean?) Confirming again that people who use this word are usually engaging in a hyperbolic criticism, when they could simply point out any concerns they have with the title in a level manner.

p.s. Chernobyl was and is in the Ukraine, not Russia.

With other politicians there was always a lot of smoke, some investigations that go nowhere, and then it's dropped without really finding a fire. That's traditionally what I thought "without being held accountable" meant.

Now, we see the fire in plain sight, and the media is saying it's all fine and normal. That's a new level of "without being held accountable".
Yeah. Go to Walmart and look at the cellphones in green boxes that get sold for non-contract usage. They are all Android and most will be used for messages and calls. They are absolutely horrific to use for web browsing. Maybe in a couple of generations that will change.
> Advertisements posted by bots are not written by human beings acting in good faith in the pursuit of truth.

So if Twitter didn't believe that the New York Post article was written by people acting in "good faith in the pursuit of truth", it's okay to censor?

The intentions of the speaker and the value of their speech are subjective. It's fine to argue that we should be okay with censoring some thing you don't like. But at least acknowledge that you're not making an appeal to "the principle of freedom of speech" — you're just arguing for others to adopt your own boundaries of what's acceptable.

This is a fair statement, and I think you are correct that there are those in the west do not understand this aspect of contemporary Chinese society.

However. Just because "most people aren't worried" and "can live their lives" doesn't make the problem go away. Just because injustice doesn't affect most people doesn't mean it's not an injustice.

When people in the west express concern about the way the CCP deals with party critics and dissidents, they aren't trying to speak for everyone in China, they are simply standing with the people who specifically are being oppressed.

It would be nice if the fines went to the people who are harmed by illegal parking. Businesses could claim income from tickets issued in front of their stores, and homeowners/renters could share the income from tickets issued on the streets they live on.

It would be too inefficient and fraud-prone to actually work, but it's a nice idea.

He made a convincing case for why its like "debt", but he fails to make a convincing case for its use, or any case at all that using the term has a positive impact on a team's success.

He even calls out that some teams think they don't have to pay back the debt. I think that is the norm, and that's the problem of debt. When financial people use debt, that debt comes with structure and consequence: it might be monthly payments or it might be due sometime in the future. Offer such people a "debt" that has nobody enforcing it, nobody quantifying it and of course it wont be paid back.

Agile engineers making scary "booga booga" noises about "we need to refactor" just don't carry the same weight as not being able to make payroll because your note is due. And yet that seems surprising to engineers.

Parkinson's Law of builds. "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion", or in this case the available time is the point at which people can't stand the build taking too long. 30-60 minutes is normal because anything > 1 minute required you to context-switch anyway, and > 60 minutes means you are now at risk of taking a day if you have a work queue of a 1-pizza team. So [1..60] range causes a grumble but nothing will be done.
And you can get 1300-1500s ISP from a liquid core NTR, too - or 3-5000s from a gas core NTR. Sure, no one's ever built a liquid core NTR, but there have been designs made.

And needless to say, "tens of newtons" is not the projected thrust of a liquid core NTR. More like a few hundred thousand.

> the article says that builds went from 40 minutes to 30 minutes.

Where in the article does it say that? The article says this:

> This simple one line change reduced our clone times by 99% and significantly reduced our build times as a result. Cloning our largest repo, Pinboard went from 40 minutes to 30 seconds.

Both of those sentences say the clone time was reduced by 99%. There are percentage numbers given for how much the build time was reduced, nor any numbers about the total build time.
It is tragic. You’d think that drawing on all our cumulative knowledge and wisdom from the past, we could handle global crises better than we do today. But we clearly have a long ways to go.
Unfortunately I think this really nails why the content of the laptop is so difficult for many people to come to terms with.

We all know corruption happens at all levels in Washington, but if the contents of the laptop are true, it means a serious loss of ground in the culture war (potentially game over). It can’t be true and must not be true. To keep the game going we need to shut our eyes and wait to be rescued by a comfortable escape hatch narrative.
My understanding is that he was a billionaire on the outs w/Xi's administration, however I only recall that much because it seemed like an interesting assertion at the time, but didn't look into it, nor did I bother remembering the source, because it was while I was skimming a bunch of articles and posts at once trying to keep abreast of the Burisma controversy. So I would take it with a significant grain of salt.

Whether or not China would support the action is opaque to me. Trump's trade policies have massively reframed our relationship to the country, but whether or not that's been a positive thing for factions within the CCP is well beyond my knowledge or means to learn.

But here you are advocating for things you agree with being allowed but things you don't being banned. What happens when someone conservative takes over youtube and then they ban what you think is good? I bet you'd change your mind about free speech pretty quickly.
I’m still skeptical. Nuclear just has too many characteristics that limit its ability to make use of that ISP.

Starship will have a dry mass around 85 tons including about 9 tons of engines, payload of 100 tons, and 1,200 tons of methane/LOX fuel. At an ISP of 380 that gives it a deltaV of around 9.8 Km/sec.

A similar NTR based Starship with a 750 ISP requires a lot more dry mass. The engines will mass at least 100 tons just to provide 1/15th the thrust of Methane based Raptors. That’s ok in space, given you can just fire them longer but they will need hundreds of tons of radiators and shielding. And more mass to insulate the hydrogen tanks.

A dry mass of 500 tons would give the NTR a deltaV of 10.7 Km/sec. That’s better, but it comes at a price. Your NTR Starship can’t land on Mars, it doesn’t have enough thrust. So you need dedicated landers, increasing dry mass further. And it’s hydrogen leaks, so you lose some of that DeltaV on a long voyage. And you can’t use anything other than hydrogen, or your ISP drops precipitously, and you can’t use any reactive fuels that will corrode your engine.

NTR designs need dramatically higher thrust to Weight ratios to ever become competitive with chemical rockets, even in deep space.

"maybe that’s just what non-partisan writing looks like and it’s too strange to read in this media environment"

This.

One must get beyond the idea that one team is unambiguously worse. In a way, Taibbi writes almost exclusively about the tendency of Americans to ignore the misbehavior of their own side and exaggerate that of the other.

There are lots and lots of articles informing the rank-and-file how to interpret contemporary events; how to discuss the Bidens' corruption, for instance (usually: bring up the Trumps' corruption, but often outright denial and shaming anyone who discusses it)

People who appreciate Taibbi are those who can hold at least two narratively contradictory facts in mind at the same time; eg that both the Bidens and the Trumps are corrupt; without leaping to defend one or the other.

> you're just arguing for others to adopt your own boundaries of what's acceptable

By virtue of operating under the principle of respecting free speech you are making a value judgement and asserting a set of values. There is no panacea or pure criteria you can use besides no content moderation at all. I give the example of spam posted by bots as what I think is an obvious and non-controversial example of content that can be removed that doesn't violate the principle of free speech. Another example might be someone who simply replies "f* you" to every comment on a thread.

I don't know how to further explain this or qualify this. I think you just fundamentally don't understand or haven't actually reflected on what I'm saying.
Ion engines are still limited by power density - higher ISPs take quadratically more power input at reasonable ISPs. (As in, at non-relativistic velocities) Thermal rockets have a lower upper bound, but come with higher thrusts. Everything is tradeoffs, in the end.

And why on earth would the kind of newtonial engine mean that you wouldn't be limited by the rocket equation? The only escape that is to have reaction mass outside of your reference frame somehow. (picking up fuel from interstellar space, having thrust beamed to you via laser, some form of reactionless drive...)
Thank you, signed for Renesas newsletter. Very interesting topics.
Election silence is unenforceable and becomes muddy in the era of the internet - with elections in USA, who do you sue if UK news outlet runs with some story? Who has jurisdiction? Besides, reporting news itself is usually still allowed as long as it is not political agitation ("Biden did something bad" is ok, "vote Trump" is not). I've been tempted to test this by posting agitation to Facebook from the USA (Poland still has election silence) or showing up with slogans to the polling stations (you can still vote when abroad in a few places set up by consulates), but I still like to visit my family from time to time.

The internet has neutral authorities for managing DNS, SSL, numerous protocols like http, and Net Neutrality exists even if the current FCC doesn't seem to think so.

There should accordingly be a neutral authority for signing apps, and requiring that companies build on neutral connectivity standards like PCIE. The ecosystem can stay open as it matures, but you're right, if the internet remains 4 giant companies, then yeah, even general purpose computing devices can be reduced to iOS, Windows 10 S, and Android with locked bootloaders and no alternative app stores.
> Module Typeclasses should keep typeclasses from happening everywhere (looking at you Haskell) while still allowing them to be used for more than equality.

My desktop very rarely gets loud since I have made sure to choose a good airflow case and top of the line air cooler.

Are you comparing Facebook's property to a person's lawn? Because that is nonsense.

I really don't agree with people comparing ubiquitous global telecom monopolies like Facebook to small businesses and private citizens who want people to stay off their lawns and not have the government regulate their IRC server that they run out of their basement.

If you don't just own a lawn, but you own every lawn in the town and every single space where people could congregate, then no I don't think you should have absolute control over who can use it. Coal corporations and sharecroppers tried doing that a century ago with "company towns".

If you own more than a certain amount of property, you have responsibilities as well as rights. You can't just build your own little nation within a nation, because you can afford the land. And you certainly can't use your money and influence to bully and evict people because you disagree with them. Many churches have done that in the past.

We can easily force these orgs to stop collecting fines we cannot stop government using fines to control behavior. Your ideas therefore are much more applicable to government than to this situation even if the same challenges apply.

Common Lisp has keyword args too.
Scalability, and scale matter too. I believe that solar electric thrust to weight ratio is very favourable with modern solar cells, and scalable.

Arcjets can be really tiny, and you can have hundreds of them. Given that you will also have to get huge amount of electricity for crew needs, you will have to pack solar cells anyway. A bimodal NTR will be even heavier, and require even bigger vehicle to legitimise its use.
I can't, but I don't think its a bad idea. Given that, I guess you have to start at some point -- right? And last election social media was given all sorts of grief for the fake news... I can understand them wanting to be more careful this time. And of all news stories in recent years, this seems like a good one to begin with.
NTR is not competitive with chemical rockets in any actual application. Dry mass has to triple at a minimum, your propellant evaporates over long trips, and NTR engines don’t have enough thrust to land on Mars or even the moon, requiring the additional dry mass and complications of specialized landers.

We need a huge step forward in NTR before it’s going to be useful at all.
It says you can’t derive the source from the binaries. It does not limit you from reading the source, but it does stop you from creating another product from the source that will compete.
