A possible reason is that it went through (or is going through) the sovereign courts of New Zealand. Another reason would be that Kim committed his for profit crimes virtually in the US even if he was physically in New Zealand. That is, he was knowingly selling access to copyrighted content to American consumers, with American employees, from American servers. Also, as I understand it China's law applies broadly to a class of people (i.e Hong Kongers) whereas Kim's case is a specific legal ruling for a specific criminal.

We are talking about a $19m difference verses $182m. These are in no way similar campaigns.

I read up, the two other choices are fusion-fission driving: use the neutrons to activate fissionable materials and then put them into a classic fission reactor as food (not what we want really) and direct electic extraction of surplus charge, which is at 48% efficiency according to the wiki.

So yes: surplus heat is likely to be one of the useful products but not the only one, and if 48% efficiency is acceptable, it might be better to do direct charge take-off and process the heat as a problem as a much as the solution to a problem.

Once the heat isn't a problem, its useful. You can have a hot bath. Or feed tomato roots in a greenhouse. Or I guess, run a turbine...

I think this article has a bad title, but I agree with its actual point, which is that back in the 1980s and early 1990s, desktop computers topped out at one level and workstations were a discontinuous jump above, unreachable as long as you were limited to commodity components and supply chains. Their hardware and software was Just Better (Than Home Systems Of The Same Era[1]) and it was certainly a lot cooler. I mean, NeXTcube vs Macintosh Quadra? Please!

That said, this is a Kids These Days rant about how there is a smooth transition now, because the workstation as-was is a dead concept, replaced by desktop systems just a few price points more expensive than yours but which are still, fundamentally, the same kind of system.

I've seen hacks like this, and have used them myself too.

However, suggesting this to friends (and myself) I see two things that undermines the process, that the metric used here does not catch.

1. Usage over a long time span is usually not a "decline" but a "wave-like" pattern. aka rebound, or substitution. You remove one distracting app, stay productive for a week or a month, then rebound to same or another app. Repeat process.

2. Substitution through other media. As this one said, "use laptop/PC for mindfully using Social Media", this sounds really good, but in practise usually given time, returns to mindless browsing. That's how we work, our brain constantly tries to push things we have to do mindfully to an automated "mindless" process. The tricky thing with this is that, we usually don't consider the process "mindless" until long after it have become an mindless process.

It would be interesting, if you can observe your usage pattern over longer time-span. Not just Smartphone but also your PC/Laptop and observe if you truly have reduced your "distraction" time.

Not sure about bevy specifically, but I know the rapier physics engine (which integrates with bevy) can serialize all of the physics state.

Plus, in Rust, if you mark types as Serialize you can serialize nearly anything you want. And it seems like Bevy makes full use of the powerful Rust type system.

So I’d guess “yes, you can probably easily serialize the game state in most cases”.

I think you can also argue the opposite. Decriminalizing addiction incentivizes people to use, as well as cushions the potential consequences of their use and prevents them from hitting rock bottom. I don't think we should shame use and we should offer anyone who's addicted a path out of it through treatment etc.
Everyone? Certainly not. Some people? Sure.

Obviously these companies agree with me too. Why else would they be willing to spend $182m more than the other side in this debate?

Alternative title: "Brand new company with no existing market share successfully provides vital service that billion dollar companies with decades of experience failed to do"
Although I agree with you, this comment is missing the mark. Books and films are two fundamentally different mediums and have two different audiences, while this is more about supplementing the text version of something with audio/video.

I think that an audio (or video) version would be superior, but more because, assuming there are captions, the audio might be able to describe something beyond the code alone more easily than typing out a note would.

Okay as a tool to create tutorials or lessons this is pretty cool. It was not clear from the title and home page that this is the target but looking at the demo video makes this clear.

As a tool to actually document code however as the title suggests this would be a terrible, terrible idea. No code comments or commit messages except a link to a video hosted on a website that may become broken or simply shut down at any time in the future? No thanks. What if I take 2 hours to write 10 lines of code, do I expect people who come after me to watch a 2 hour long video to understand what I was doing? It would also make public a mental process that may be messy, and maybe cause a similar effect to being watched over your shoulder while you code. Not to mention the usual problems of video like low consumption speed, linearity, and non-searchability.

Check out Edmund Optics. They do have precision fresnels but they're tiny.

The lenses I've seen at EO have focal lengths that aren't much shorter than the side length---20cm for 25cm sheets. I'm pretty sure this is a limitation on the refractive index plus maybe the precision required for steep incidence angles.
Hey, that's cool! I run the SF Bay Area ClickHouse Meetup. We like hearing about new analytic apps. Let me know if you want to do a talk about how you are using ClickHouse. Our next meetup going to be in early December.

Somewhat related is Pavlo's musings on Naming a Database Management System [1]:

"In my opinion, the best DBMS names from the last thirty years are Postgres[4] and Clickhouse.

These two names did not mean anything before, but now they only have one connotation. There is no ambiguity. There is no overlap with other DBMS names or non-database entities. They are easy to spell correctly[5]. Everyone refers to them by their full name. Nobody mistakingly calls them "PostgresDB" or "ClickhouseSQL."

After reflecting on what makes them so good, I realized what the secret was to them. They are a two-syllable name that is derived from combining two unrelated one-syllable words together (e.g., Post + Gres, Click + House). Each individual word has its own meaning. It is only when you put them together does it mean the database.

Given this, I henceforth contend that the best way to name a DBMS is to combine two one-syllable words."

Simple - China installed this law to punish serious crimes, e.g. the Hong Kong guy who murdered his gf in Taiwan, but could not be extradited to Taiwan and remains unpunished.

Dotcom allowed people 10 years ago to download movies in shitty quality from his website and made some cash from that. This is why he must be punished very hard and extradited to the US from no matter where he is on this planet.

Go is a programming language for teams, not primarily designed to impress individual programmers...

I agree with all points with the author. But working in teams, or even mutiple teams on the same software, then go solves a lot of problems for you..

Yeah its a dumb language, missing a lot of features. But there is only 1 way to program, dependency management is sane (no circular dependencies), and the language is build for readability, not for writing code fast and elegantly...

Often short dense code with complex types is just really hard to read for your overage joe programmer.

We're not all computer scientists here.

Go is designed to write maintainable server side programs that can utilize concurrency in computer these days. Therefore they left out generics... I hope its coming.
I do wish error handling and generics where part of the language... And a tuple type indeed.

What's the difference between getting addicted to gambling (legal), alcohol (legal), prescription drugs (legal) vs. any criminalized drug? And why does the government draw this arbitrary line? Before we strawman me, I'm not advocating _all_ drugs become legal, but pointing out the absurdity of the legality of it all.

Decriminalization brings on a greater opportunity for rehabilitation without entering the legal system (which lots of people never escape from). Keeping more people in the legal system should not be the goal.

There is a difference between a video service hosting videos, and an app store hosting 3rd party video service apps. The conflict of interest with the owners of the app store owning a competing video service app murks up the water a bit, but the difference is still clear.

The video services are demonstrably still allowed to host the videos. Whether or not they can run for profit is their own problem.

>We just learned that it takes only $200m to buy a law in the state of California.

Incredibly cynical and reductive. I cast my vote on prop 22 based on my personal beliefs about where the government should sit in a relationship between two consenting parties. I haven't used a ride share app in about 2 years. It has nothing to do with the money spent on the campaign, or my loyalty to any company, or marketing through an app.

Despite what people on the internet like to think, people actually have beliefs that aren't based on cynical, simplistic, one dimensional worldviews. People who've never used a rideshare app might object to the government demanding companies solve a problem few people had. Especially in California, where the State is extremely paternalistic and overbearing.
I had an interesting and somewhat similar experience, where a long-standing app feature triggered an unexpected rejection. We gnashed our teeth for a couple weeks and finally submitted an appeal. I expected it to be rejected, since the original reviewer was steadfast in rejecting the app and our arguments.

But it was immediately approved on appeal, to our great surprise. I wonder if Apple is aware that they're treading on thin(ner) ice with regard to the App Store.
The Nazis openly mocked the democratic principles that they used (abused) to gain power to take freedom away from their enemies. It is a fact of life that sometimes the freedom of one party conflicts with the freedom of another. Every legal system acknowledges that. No freedom can ever be absolute for everyone.

The difference here is it works a lot more like an arranged marriage. (Except it's arranged by first parties.) It's not usually based on hormones and propinquity.

The rise of it is probably caused by people living farther away and working overly long hours, so the standard random dating no longer works.

You can “argue” a lot of things if you ignore evidence. Making use safe and reducing its stigma makes people safer when they do use. It doesn’t increase use or attract new users. Drugs aren’t an app, they don’t need to attract an audience. The audience is already there. The actual facts show that making use safe is key to making the drug that exists either way socially safe, by making recovery a personal process not a public justification of existence process.
By the same logic - are you really you from one moment to the next?

You are lowering a conversation into a name-calling flame war. It isn't necessary. I'm fine with not calling "the later" a free market. It is not, strictly speaking, a free market. But that term is also not used uniformly. Some use it strictly to refer to a hands-off market, others use it more generically to refer to something like "market forces". If you don't like that loose usage, it would be perfectly acceptable to say "Hey, that's not really a free market, that term means something else."

Or do you take issue with me saying there is a concept of a "free market" and another concept of a "(not pure) free market"? Honestly I don't know because you haven't taken the time explain your point of view before resorting to personal attacks, and calling someone a liar or irrational because they use a term more loosely than you'd prefer is an excellent way to shut down productive conversation. You have taken that path, so I won't bother to converse further unless you're willing to back off the flame-war rhetoric and explain your point of view without insults. If don't want to take the time for that, that's fine, I'm not entitled to your detailed explanations, in which case I wish you well, and ask you simply not to respond if that response will consist of insults.
It’s pretty obvious and (I think) uncontroversial that humanity could cause its own demise or fail to prevent external causes (like large celestial object impacts). What does seem controversial is the claim (which I adhere to) that it is also possible for humanity to solve every problem that they meet.

I know many people reading this are thinking I am crazy or paranoid, but as someone who knew a pedophile as a small child (he was a bus driver, and no I wasn't molested by him, but he did go on to rape another student) I can tell you they will find any job or volunteer duty that allows them to molest kids, even if it destroys their lives. They are constantly scanning any avenues to pursue their aims and are willing to totally alter their careers and lifestyle to fake their way into a position of authority around children. Just a warning to those out their who would think "he just like kids, I can trust this <teacher, priest, etc.>" don't, you still must supervise and listen to your child. I and other bus passengers warned our parents that this man was acting suspiciously and we were ignored.
