IMHO Army recruitment age youngster haven't developed enough to think this deeply. It is a journey some might like only after joining in so there should be exit path available to those who don't like it.

Secondly money and conditions can't be universal drivers.

On a side note I feel trend of letting youngster do whatever they want even during school years is counter productive. For example children who misbehave even once in a while with teachers and sometimes parents even are taken for psyche evaluation immediately. IMHO children does need direction and guidance until they understand the consequences of their choices.
Tesla’s with Autopilot on are very predictable on the freeway. They stay in the center of the lane, and signal when changing lanes. The worst part about them is they stay in the center of lane in traffic so it makes splitting lanes harder.

and you can see green spots on your typical maps app. And people actually live in these areas so someone could have asked them...

But thats nitpicking, for me the question is: what does this mean? are these recently desertified areas and the trees are just the last survivors? Are these areas becoming more or less rich in trees? Is this only regional or is the density similar to other areas of the sahara? What lessons does this contain for the great 'wall of trees' 20+ African nations are working on to stop desertification? ...?
They didn't solve all problems, but they removed a large part of the ruling class of the time. And the French Revolution was the most important popular revolution of the western world, no question about it. Trying to minimize it because of the civil-war that resulted is nonsense.
Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. There's nothing new that an internet forum can discover about these things—it's not the medium for it. People just repeat the same points over and over and eventually get mad at each other. That's predictable, therefore tedious, therefore off topic here.

Corruption in this case was justified. The rules surrounding the auction were unnecessarily prohibitive and expensive. Telcos were being forced to pay too much, which meant customers got a very expensive, limited service. Jio broke that system, by hook or by crook, and got us what we should have had long ago if markets were allowed to function naturally.

Edit: Before Jio, we had many providers, but all of them were bad for the user! I'd rather have a monopoly that works for the user over that.

Germany has a toll system for trucks only:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LKW-Maut

From Wikipedia:

> Germany's LKW-Maut is a toll for goods vehicles based on the distance driven in kilometres, the emission category of the vehicle and the number of axles.

It's meant to compensate some of these damages caused by high weight. If I remember correctly, road damage scales at a power of four of axle weight. It's billed semi-automatically (wireless stations along the road + device in the truck) and you don't even notice it as a normal driver.

This is definitely not true of Jobs.

He would put aside time to identify and heavily recruit engineers he thought were talented.

Scott Forstall has a story about how Jobs was basically afraid that he (Forstall) would be put off by the rest of the HR process and pulled him out and told him he's getting hired and to just go through the motions.

Cabel Sasser from Panic has a story about how Jobs and Schiller tried to recruit Panic to work at Apple.

Bill Atkinson also has a story about Jobs spending a day pitching to him to join the Apple engineering team.

If you haven't read the books or watched the show, The Expanse does a great job at working in a world with realistic physics.

A lot of combat takes place from extremely far distances, using telescopes, rail guns and missiles, and it can sometimes take days for a missile to reach the target (the TV series doesn't play this up as much though, for obvious reasons).

When there is closer combat battles, they are constrained by the G forces humans can tolerate, wear full helmets and de-pressurize their ships, so when the inevitable shots do go through (usually in and out the other side) it's not catastrophic.

There are no force shields, magic gravity generators, lasers (well, except used for point-to-point communications). I found it to be very refreshing mainstream sci-fi.

One warning: after watching The Expanse, the battles in things like Star Wars, Star Trek or Battlestar just look ridiculous by comparison - even with that technology they'd never fight like that.
It's been many years since I read my Kropotkin but I seem to recall him being a gentler soul than this.
ASD is fairly common in engineering fields. It's more going to be a concern about which company you're at. I've known some okay ASD managers, very good ASD tech leads, good ASD individual contributors, and very good ASD researchers.

I think that whether you're going to share that you are ASD with the company will depend on your comfort level with the company. If you do feel comfortable sharing, let your manager know and tell them that you may be poorer at assessing your own contribution levels and you would like very detailed feedback.

Being ASD myself, I find value in changing disciplines dramatically with underlining support in programming. I have done work in image processing, migration studies, programming language development, deep sea audio processing, computer securities, and citizen science support, over the past 8 years. Depending on what shape of the spectrum you're on, you may find value in being stationary in a single discipline instead.

It's a very big spectrum

I picked anesthesia to avoid seeing that "perfectly uniform pink healthy flesh" of my own.
I'm not entirely settled on that.

My working approach is if you're writing a compiler, it wants to have an unambiguous grammar and shouldn't even attempt recovery. If input doesn't parse, the compiler can recommend (or just run) the linter. That keeps the common case fast and simple.

The linter/fixer can have a relaxed syntax specifically designed to handle messy code and suggest corrections. That comes from a philosophy of treating error correction and user assistance as a separate task.

But that's an approach I'm taking because I want to get a reference implementation together as quickly as possible. It's definitely not how modern IDEs work.

JetBrains GrammarKit uses a PEG[1] because they need strong support for error recovery[2] using hints. Another interesting library is Tree-sitter[3]; it does incremental parsing keeping an AST constantly up to date for you.

Relevant to this whole discussion, GvR wrote a series on PEG parsers[4] in which he starts out by writing one by hand and then shows how to write one that accepts a grammar.

I specifically don't like how the use of approximate estimations of certainty are used through Bayesian probability theory.

My chief concern is that through the application of figures to beliefs, you hide the inputs to those beliefs behind something that appears more objective than it actually is, leading to a meaningfully less thorough examination of why you arrived at that figure.

A secondary concern I have is that it falsely proposes that emotion isn't part of (or at least not playing a significant role in) a decision process, and that the more we eliminate emotion, the more successful our outcomes will be. I don't understand that to be the case at all, rather it seems clear that emotion is how we know when to stop collecting data and which data to select to include as relevant in our decision making process, and that is how bias creeps in.

You end up in a position where you feel you've applied some kind of process for arriving at a decision, and your feeling is not correct, but because it feels correct, you don't examine it further.

When fighting wars, one needs enemies. And the more cartoonish villains they are, the better. Consider the propaganda against Japan by the US during the Second World War.

For the bourgeoisie of the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette became that villain. In 1789, they still needed the King, so there was some reluctance to attack him as much, as they were forming a constitutional monarchy. However, when the royal family attempted to escape Paris, all bets were off.

It became common theory, that they were trying to escape to Austria, so Marie Antoinette would get help from her Habsburg family, and Austria would invade France. This conspiracy theory (not true, as it turns out) effectively lead[0] to two things; the establishment of a republic and pre-emptively invading neighbouring countries, like Austrian Netherlands (modern Belgium).

There is truth in every stereotype, and there are legitimate criticism of Marie Antoinette, but her character is far more complicated than her common cartoonish perception. This is how lines like 'let them eat cake' gets added afterwards, to justify the means.

[0] Yes, I know there were numerous other factors, but it's kind of astonishing how big of factor the Austrian conspiracy was.

I guess for most of us on HN the big delineation is -- can you sync your password store easily (and exclusively) to your own systems, vs can you sync easily with a remote managed service.

I'm very much in the camp that eschews the latter.

As per my comment elsewhere in this thread, I've got a reasonably robust arrangement using a combination of Syncthing and KeePassXC, which so far has worked well for me.

My interpretation was that there simply isn't anyone living in these desolate areas, and also that something about the imagery made it not as simple as looking for green. But you're right that they left these points vague and unclear.

I suspect that part of that may be market growth beyond expectations. If telcos were bidding about the same net present value for the one time auction and the rev-share auction, with their revenue projections and revenue came in higher, that's going to be better for the government.

It's also easier to bid higher in rev-share, because you don't need to finance that net present value; it's just going to be built into the price of service, and your competitors will likely have similar rev-shares (depending on the auction process), so it's going to be built into everyone's prices.

I think there's also some value in a stream of payments rather than a one time payment. Although you can exchange one for the other with financial tools, a government may find a stream of payments to it matches well with the stream of payments it's making.
> That works if all your YAML authors are carefully avoiding any use of the features JSON can’t represent, like multiple documents, non-string map keys, and application-defined type tags.

That's true if you want round-trip conversion to and from JSON, but you don't need that for automated round-trip conversion between JSON-style (delimited, or, in the language of the YAML spec “flow style”) YAML and the somewhat more idiomatic for most uses indented, (or, in the spec language, “block style") YAML, e.g., if you find it easier to edit in flow-style but you are in an environment that wants the end product delivered in block style.

Notably, whitespace sensitivity is a feature of block style, but not flow style.

True story - I proposed to my (now) wife in a "haunted" corn maze right after the chainsaw guy started chasing us. I knelt on one knee but she didn't know what I was doing and she started dragging me with her as she ran because she was so scared of the chainsaw guy. Random people kinda re-aimed her and she realized what I was doing.

I agree, what I also find very surprising about this topic is when it comes up with my American friends is that they seem so alienated by the concept.

Which I find surprising, because my (admittedly somewhat limited) understanding is that the fear of established, professionalised, closed-up armies is actually a very ur-American idea, threatening peace, equality and so on. I guess the same could be applied to a lot of the over-militarised police and border agency situations that hit the news all the time. Civic oversight and less professionalisation, more popular control I always thought would be natural ideas across the pond.

Meanwhile we all know our data has been the goal since day one and Google Chrome is the Trojan Horse to get the tracking onto our computer
