Using "bunch of aristocrats" pejoratively is a thoroughly modern take. Aristocrats were the best fighters in their day. They were the ones with money for good arms and time to train well, besides which fighting was for many of them their profession.

Besides, "toughest warriors ever" sounds more like popular colouring than an academic assessment. I don't know a lot about Vikings but as I understand they were principally raiders, which I would absolutely expect to perform worse than a Frankish aristocrat-led army.

I feel one of the domestic risks here is the combination of robots & less than lethal weapons.

For a gov to take the step of gunning down crowds is significant with backlash. And while I dont doubt countries could head this way I think for the west its much easier for governments to deploy robots that use any of the less than lethal tech and keep enough of the population on side while they deal with those <insert politics you dont like> trouble makers. And this could be the start of a very slippery slope.

I really think this is going to be one of humankinds great challenges: 1) tech where few can increasingly control many + 2) Advanced nations ability to conduct war with limited human cost on their side.

This is incredibly optimistic. If their hypersonic missiles work properly they could theoretically gain control of the SCS decisively in the next 5 years, at a massive cost of course. This should be expected, military power is more or less a function of economic power, and as they rival the US in economic power they will also rival the US in military power in their own backyard.

In a few decades, they could possibly outmatch the US outside the SCS as well.
Semi related, but some services (trapcall, for one) offer a very cheap service that punches through called ID spoofing via AMI, and offer blocking on public and private lists, really help.

Think tanks exist to rationalize unpalatable policies to the american public in plausible ways like that. Salaried teams spend all day inventing cover stories - that's why they exist as institutions.

We're told there's some elaborate other system at play yet they never make a decision or recommendation which goes against the margins and stock prices of the corporations funding the think tanks. Instead, if there's multiple options they always seem to conclude that the most profitable is the best.

Until this impeccably consistent 1000 batting average is broken we can be forgiven for suspecting it's all just manufactured nonsense.
To reinforce your answer: no because nukes

In warfare, logistics and production are major factors. In protracted conflicts, factory capacity and transportation infrastructure are vital, and therefor targets. Nukes, delivered by subs, aircraft, or ICBMs are the most effective way to destroy those targets.

The days of nation states fighting other nation states with their own production capacity are forever over on planet earth, baring full out nuclear warfare.
Hypothetical question:

What if the client side of this program was open-source, and all it did was record the screen and web camera, and upload a copy to a server that was run by the school on premises.

https://www.forbes.com/2010/06/16/legal-humor-archery-opinio... says that the English were required to practice the longbow starting before the 13th Century. In 1541 every man 60 and under was to have a longbow and practice it. Many games were then banned for possibly distracting men from archery.

Interestingly there's no information on where the bows were to come from but it sounds like the typical longbowman would have the income to buy it himself.

Aveiro: The Portuguese city that's a living technology laboratory
We often get users estimating that a Pernosco session saves them half an hour or more. Let's say on average it saves 15 minutes. Let's say a reasonable developer's time is worth at least 50 USD an hour. Then Pernosco is giving 12.5 USD of value and we're charging 4 USD. Is that insane?
Fun fact, Muslim can eat kosher meats but generally Jews cannot eat halal meats.

The main reason is that they are both descendent of Abrahamic based religion that always slaughter their herd animals to eat by the name of one God. Muhammad is a descendent of Ismail while Moses is the descendent of Isaac, both are siblings from the same father Abraham but different mother. Even the original languages for their holy scriptures namely Arabic and Hebrew are very similar by being rooted from the same original Semitic based language.
Of course Apple doesn't want to. Both them and Apple know that without WeChat Apple won't sell any iPhone in China and without Facebook no iPhone in the western world.
and china is called "the people's republic", what US or China call themselves is irrelevant.

> Most Italian pizza has rather little cheese

This could be, I am fan of the pizza from Napoli and I have been to the best chefs over there; besides the Marinara, pizzas have plenty of cheese and the Italian people in the restaurants all consistently asked for an extra serving of mozzarella on top. As I try to copy the experience at home in my wood burned oven, I watched and read many italian (Italy and US based) Napoli pizza chefs and ‘rather little cheese’ never was mentioned. Are you talking about a different style or maybe compared to US style pizza? I had pizzas in the US, but I find them generally too heavy; probably because the base is too thick. I can eat 2 napoli ones while only 1/2 a US one (again, based on my very limited pizza experience in the US!). But I saw brilliant chefs on youtube from the US; my business trips did not allow me to travel the US for pizza tasting...
Is there anything new in this old book? Or is it ("merely") the precursor to our modern era books which rehash its ideas?
Fascinating. I can’t say for sure one of my great-grandmothers participated in this, but I can’t rule it out. I had two great-grandmothers living in the lower east side then. Ethel arrived in 1892 with her family from Pinsk, Belarus and would have been 17. Her mom Annie would have been 36.

It could have also been my great-grandmother Rachel who’d arrived in 1897 with her family from Romania. She would’ve been too young in 1902 (13), but her mother Esther would’ve been old enough.

Thanks for sharing this!

I just hope I don't get too confident and end up in trouble...

> You don't need divisions to make an impact, you need someone willing to set off a suicide vest in a police station, a pregnant woman to sit an a VBIED and drive past a checkpoint or someone strong enough to fire an RPG.

I understand what you're saying, but those are all self-inflicted vulnerabilities from trying to "nation build".

> It's of course important to prepare for a larger scale war against China, Russia, etc. but realistically we're more likely to be fighting a handful of goat herders in Afghanistan with an AK and a bag full of rice before we're taking on an armored division.

Broadly, I think there are 2 theories of conflict.

The first is what I'll call the "justice" theory of conflict: people fight because they are oppressed.

The second is what I'll call the "rational basis" theory of conflict: people fight because they think they can win, or because their backs are against a wall and they have nothing to lose by fighting.

IMO, the second theory has much, much more explanatory power.

If you buy the second theory, then the major reason there is no war between the US and China or Russia is because they don't believe they can win (which is probably true, as long as the US doesn't try to invade). But in order for that to continue to be true in the future, the US needs to continue to invest in military assets that are effective in fighting near peer opponents.

It is also important to be good at fighting developing nations. But ultimately, being good at that doesn't matter as much. If the US goes home from Afghanistan, that might affect the Afghans, but it doesn't really have global implications. But a hot war between the US and China would result in a truly enormous number of deaths.

Also, I don't really see much evidence that the US has ever really been successful at nation building. The last real success was South Korea. And it's just as easy to see that as a fluke rather than the result of US presence (during the peace - obviously the US helped immensely during the hot part of the conflict).
if your game is riddled with bugs... you make no money or at least less.

further, the whole point of rust is that is fast and safe.

safe doesn't imply slow.

a lot of game development is entity component systems, and there are several of those for rust - it will be a matter of time until these are good and fast enough to be used in larger and larger games.
Not everyone is using GitHub (some that don't still use git, but some don't; also, some projects are mirrored on GitHub but do not use GitHub for their main development system), so pull requests are not always appropriate. (Not everyone uses mailing lists either.)

The concept of voter rolls kills the "crate of ballots" idea just as dead as the "retail voter fraud" idea, because you need to know who's voting and who isn't to pull it off; otherwise, you make a whole mess of duplicate ballots, which is one of the most basic things the election administrators are looking for.

And, as you point out, that's what you're dealing with after you James Bond the crate of ballots into the counting facility and through the scanners.

Super interesting but so conflicted.

> Those who insisted on entering the shops were heckled and, on their departure, assaulted. Their parcels of meat were confiscated, hurled into the gutters and sometimes doused with kerosene. Butchers were goaded into closing, and those who refused were attacked. Their inventory was destroyed and in many cases their windows and fixtures were smashed.

It's not really a boycott if it's by force

It's also not clear if they really had an real impact given

> The Justice Department of “trust-buster” President Theodore Roosevelt had taken note, and on May 10, the very day the kosher butchers had first shut down, took the packers to court to force them to cease their illegal practices.

In other words the government had independently started suing before the influence of this group.

Still super interesting.
The military is not an especially dangerous occupation, especially because politicians tend to be sensitive to the resulting news reports of soldiers dying. The US military has 2-3 million people, and even with recent wars at peak I don't think the US lost more than ~1k people/year.

In other words, you're looking at a rate in the upper tens of people per 100,000 in an active war. According to https://stats.bls.gov/charts/census-of-fatal-occupational-in..., that would probably put it in the top 5 (fishermen might still have a higher death rate than the military). In a more peaceful time, it's probably not going to hit the top 10.
A couple of notes for those seeking solace at the far ends of the spectrum (chicken-hawks and peaceniks): no one hates war more than soldiers. We'd all go home if we could. But the enemy gets a vote. Few countries are necessarily our enemy, and we'd like to keep it that way. Making a military success unpalatable helps keep it that way. Detente is in many ways offers a more stable peace than pacifism, particularly for a major world power entangled in many alliances.

USPTO is only obligated to search their own database for prior art. Others must pay to invalidate patents that are obvious next steps, just math (which is indeed unpatentable even in the US), infringing other (defensive) patents, or which are invalidateable due to published prior art.

It's hard to believe that topological sort (available in the GNU `tsort` and `make` apps, for example) was ever patentable.

Perhaps Wikipedia contains references to published prior art?

If they don't even look at everyone else's registered-as-unique ideas, how could they have been knowingly infringing?

Everyone wants their cut of Progress in the Useful Arts and Sciences. Nobody will invalidate patents for everyone else; USPTO has no obligation to even check a search engine for the subject matter.

And then, prove the date that published prior art was published without a distribted time-stamping blockchain. Find the nonce that makes it all worth it!

> Give yourself a break. Something really important needs to be mentioned here. Practicing Kriya does not mean that your life will be perfect. It does not mean you will reach this state where you are floating around on a cloud 24/7 and you can never feel bad. As long as you're in a body and mind you're susceptible to the fluctuations of the gunas. There will always be a degree of randomness in how you feel. You will always have periods where you feel great and connected to God, and periods where you don't feel well and feel more distant. This never goes away. It does not mean you did something good when you feel connected, or that you failed in something when you don't feel connected. The fluctuations do get less extreme and less frequent, but they never completely go away. To truly get to know Maya you need to intimately get to know the fluctuations, as at the end of the day that's all Maya really is. There are always seemingly random periods of high tide and low tide. On top of the random fluctuations, there is a natural ebb and flow of the energies in the universe, and particularly this time of year when the sun is getting further and further away and days are getting shorter and shorter it's not uncommon to not feel as well as you felt during the time of the year when the sun was getting closer and closer. Don't beat yourself up, or judge yourself negatively because of this. Instead, take a more Buddhist view and use this as a tool, observe how these fluctuations effect "you". Are these fluctuations "you", did they change "you" at all, or are they simply more evidence of what "you" really are?

I had no idea what you were talking about, but looking it up it does look like it's possible to use phone numbers in navigation systems, primarily numbers of businesses. I was able to find several accounts of the feature using the keywords カーナビ 電話番号検索 - using just ナビ gets a lot of hits for directories of phone numbers (mainly used for identifying spam callers), and using GPS instead of ナビ gets hits for tracking cell phones.

I have never used this and didn't realize it was possible, but I don't drive and rarely take taxis. I can see why this would be popular, especially with tourists - the language isn't a barrier to conveying a number. It also avoids issues with address formatting.

A possible explanation: it would be simple enough for someone to slag their competitors by leaving reviews saying “this person tried to bribe me with a gift card to leave a fake review.” For every person trying to buy their way to the top, there is someone else trying to knock down their competitors by falsely implicating them in rules violations ...

I would imagine it would be better to report this interaction to Amazon customer service, including forwarding a copy of the email, rather than addressing this through a product review.
Rabbis conspire with slaughterhouses to raise prices to increase profits. Jewish women downstream of the price-hikes kick off an uprising that sounds chaotic and at times brutal.

And we are supposed to regard this as a heartwarming story of Jewish-American patriotism?

That's a generous interpretation, to put it mildly. It rather plays into some unfortunate stereotypes, and a pro-Jewish author might be advised to keep such history private.
When you understand and are familiar with something you get the relevant facts in your head as a side effect. If you put them there deliberately, through the activity of memorization, that is not understanding.

To me it feels like it's a weird scale. 5 a month is something where I actually have to think when and how to use it, and that's not something I want to do for a tool like that.

I assume it's still usable as a local rr-GUI (that hopefully adds something) without submitting?

I get that you are still looking for a model, but I would much more expect something like "my employer pays $X00 or $X000 and we get a volume where I don't have to think about using up a scarce resource" (potentially even can have customer systems run it if there's issues) - the market for single licenses feels pretty small to me?

Is the "us" like the royal "we"?

I like how this works. Just make claims and they become true.

There are other words to describe different concepts. If you want to conflate disparate things, I still don't see how you intend to have others go along with you. I'll wait till I hear news of a violent offender where the accusation was of consuming too much of a resource.

I still stand by the analogy I used. This is no different than taking a word that people associate with something negative and expanding its use to refer to something else. I did not intend to "tease" your royal highness.
