Mercenaries already exist, and the mercenary leaders hold political power. I don't think robots change the picture significantly.

When you say the morals of the soldiers, maybe you mean racism of the soldiers? American soldiers are more than happy to act immorally, and it's not like suppressing and torturing foreigners is very different to home. You can look to Portland for supposedly moral people suppressing locals
I just started on my journey to create my first game with PICO-8. Fred is an absolute genius and is unmissable if you frequent the BBS (Bulletin Board system, PICO-8's official forum)
One thing I've done in a project before was statically linking all of my native library's dependencies into the library itself. Everything would be compiled with `-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections` and the final shared library linked with `-Wl,--gc-sections`. I'd call `strip` on the `.so` as well.

This worked well because the JVM code only ever called the native API I exposed and did not need to access the dependencies' APIs.
Do you have a source for this? This sounds like a fishy story to me based on my understanding of medieval society:

1. Peasants are often called up for military duty as levies (conscripts), to supplement the knights and men-at-arms. Especially when there wasn't a standing army.

2. Authority wasn't so centralized -- these local matters would be the authority of local lords, not the king.
And all this talk about smaller forces and abundance of robots means that the political will to maintain this is waning.

Training people and providing them opportunities is expensive and the federal government has less and less desire to pay.

Such a shift in policy could have negative consequences and I hope the Army doesn't evaluate this lightly.
It's pretty incredible how just by coincidence the recommendation exactly matches what would be most profitable for contracting firms, have the least amount oversight from the public on how the tax dollars are used and is also the best strategy for avoiding the politically costly ordeal of hurting children of people who vote in American elections.

Just a remarkable coincidence

I’d like to chip in with a favourite of mine: Detroit style [1]. A rectangular pizza baked in a greased, shallow pan with cheese that goes all the way to the edge. The bottom comes out golden brown with a fried texture but the base is otherwise very light and fluffy. This gives a crispy/soft/chewy contrast with the sauce/cheese/pepperoni on top. This type of pizza can also handle more sauce and toppings than a New York style without getting soggy. I prefer crispy over soggy any day, and I love toppings.

The cheese around the edges comes in contact with the metal pan and turns brown and crunchy, just like you get when the cheese leaks out into the pan with a grilled cheese sandwich. Amazing pizza!

If you don’t have a rectangular pan you can also make it in a cast iron skillet. Works extremely well!

I'm not gonna change your mind, but I personally am glad I live in an era (for now, at least) of American hegemony. I can't name another empire or superpower in human history that has shown more restraint. Obviously it has done some terrible stuff, but on the whole America has been uncommonly benevolent.

The Chinese government is putting ethnic minorities in camps. The American government did that too, in WWII... The difference is, it's a point of national shame.

Another thing I do for restaurants on Tripadvisor is look at reviews by language (works better abroad than in the US). While it's a bit stereotyping, I find that if a place is well reviewed by reviewers who write in Italian, French or Japanese, it's generally more likely to be to my taste. I'll add other languages depending on context , so if I'm looking for a Mexican, filtering by Spanish reviews is definitely helpful.

And helpfully when filtering by language, Tripadvisor will show the spread of reviews for that language making it easy.

'The people' are never going to gain access to networks of information systems, complicated weapons, training / support etc..

You can overthrow a weak government by getting a lot of people on board, some of them with AKs, but not much otherwise.

And it's not 'IP laws' that stop China from building the same weapons as the US it's 'trade secrecy' - my gosh Boeing doesn't just 'patent and make public' their tech, they keep it very secret. Also - there's tremendous 'know how' in there, all the unspoken stuff, skill, knowledge that isn't very well summarized in any kind of document.

China in 2020 is still having a hard time making it's own 5th gen jet engines, having to buy from Russia, though that may change.
Maybe, but I could also see the shift towards automating war as a profit incentive for the military industrial complex.

It’s very clear that the military has enjoyed decades of relatively lax financial oversight. IIRC, the military branches were ordered to become audit-compliant during the Obama admin and they never did. Every once in a while, some general would retire in disgrace after financial impropriety was discovered, but by and large, its been a massive cash-rich free-for-all for those with military contract connections.

I think this is just next evolution of the private military sector tbh.

Roger Penrose says it's emergent because quantum mechanics is emergent. You can also find stuff by David Bohm saying something similar regarding Bohmian mechanics or de Broglie-Bohm theory.

I like Erlang/Elixir but I still see a lot of code with obvious race conditions.

The difficult part I find with Elixir is that processes have a lot of roles: fault isolation, concurrency, synchronization, garbage isolation, maybe more. I've had projects where it's difficult to line these up - one design would be ideal for fault isolation, but it forces expensive copies to be made, so I can't use that design because it completely tanks performance.
Since when did making moral decisions become an "all or nothing" affair?
Says you. Others (by the billions) say otherwise. Raising a stink in a public restaurant makes you look silly. Witness the widespread cultural backlash against it.

Super horrible, but consider that slaves were incredibly valuable. The middle class of farmers in the antebellum south would barely have been able to afford one, the plantation owners were stupendously wealthy. This, in part, explains why the south was able to wield such outsize political influence.

Very bleak, but slave owners had a large economic incentive to make sure their slaves were fit for work (although that didn't cause qualms on other, more brutal forms of mistreatment). The only way they treated them well was in providing food, but that wasn't due to kindness but more from the same motivation to feed a team of draft horses well. It's tough reading, but some of the ledgers kept by plantation owners really drive the point home that they viewed slaves more akin to livestock than people. And they somehow justified what they were doing as christian and moral.
Knights still have to be fed and armed with the taxes of peasants, and they'll follow the orders of the societal structure that funnels them those taxes. You protect yourself by getting involved in politics and shaping the economic and cultural power balance of your society so you don't get to a point where you need to use violence against state security forces. Once you reach that point, you've already lost.

> You forgot to quote the most relevant part of my statement: "...by pushing the CSP model."

I didn't quote that part because it's the most nonsensical part of the comment.

You've apparently been frustrated by your interactions with the members of the community and that's a fair complaint, but you haven't translated that complaint into a criticism of the Go language itself.

My experience is--CSP is a reasonable default, and "select" is a really nice language feature to have around, and mutexes / condition variables are still available when you need them. Mutexes aren't a good substitute for CSP and CSP isn't a good substitute for mutexes. You should have both available.

This will never work because it absolutely fails to scale, at a time when we have a complete lack of computing educators. Customized projects for each student?

More eyes on a design would help.

Proprietary SOCs suck when you run into a bug in system bring-up (and if you are going off the beaten track even a little, you will), and you have a vendor that:

- Doesn't believe you. In fact, is quite vocal about not believing you.

- Takes your hard-won repro code (with "a possible workaround, what do you think?") and is silent for months;

- Finally publishes a TR about that bug, along with your very own workaround code, verbatim and unattributed and you never even got an email acknowledging the issue.

... and after nearly a year of chasing the stupid thing down, as a last resort grants you a five minute phone audience with the chip designer. Sixty seconds into the problem description he says, "Oh, I know what's going on..." and proceeds to fix everything by telling you what parts of the documentation are lies. Your workaround turns out to be how you have to do it. You feel a little ill.

An open source SOC would not necessarily be better understood by more people, but it probably couldn't be worse.
It's specific to an event that passed and won't do you much good, but like I said I barely started.

Don't you feel like beige begets more beige though? All you need to do is look to new suburbs to see how beige or a faint peach colour abounds, often times (I imagine) with an HOA that prevents you from painting it something vibrant. Look to the restaurants that serve the people in those houses, and they have menus 10 pages long and densely packed, but all of it sub-par and bland having not been seasoned.
Interesting and enjoyable comment, thanks for sharing!

Slaughtered hogs? Maybe twice a year in a good year on feast days. Seriously, the parent comment was spot-on, by-and-large they lived on the edge of starvation. It wasn't salmon for lunch everyday (in most cases, even every month). >75% of their diet was bread.

Sure, 'artisinal'... have you ever chipped a tooth from poorly ground flour or rock inclusions? The bread was more wholesome than what is avaliable in the supermarket now, but how many people outside of developing countries eat a majority grain diet? Bread was the main foodstuff simply because grain stores much more easily than anything else. Salt-curing was only avaliable to the rich, since even salt was tremendously expensive.

>a nonexistent chinese invasion

Invasion doesn't need to be with armies. China is not yet strong enough to do that outright with the west like it does within Asia and its maritime claims. With the west, it has taken on a different approach: infiltrate all levels of political, educational, and corporate institutions.

> I think the morals of the soldiers would severely limit this.

You should read War & Peace, or any number of other legendary books about war written since the 19th century to learn how quickly millennia of military training has conditioned young soldiers to turn morality off when it is required of them.
> your phone starts downloading a large PDF instead (4MB, what the what?).

I agree about the parent point of marking PDF as such but still feel compelled to point out that a 4 MB PDF is not significantly bigger than a lot of regular pages that are posted to HN.

In this very moment the currently highest ranked link, which is just a regular web page, on the HN front page had a total network payload of 3,937 KiB according to Google PageSpeed.

I sympathize with what you are saying though in general, and I think it is sad that so much mobile bandwidth is needed in order to read stuff.

The way that I personally get around this is that when I am on mobile I mostly restrict myself to reading HN comments instead of clicking through on any of the featured links themselves. But depending on how you like to use your phone I realize this might not be feasible to switch habit into.

The last time the US was involved in anything resembling actual warfare was Vietnam. I can say this as somebody who has been in the Army for 23 years and deployed 5 times. The risk of traditional warfare is astonishing low because the costs are too high and the superior modern force moves too fast. You have to keep in mind 10x more people have died in the Mexican drug conflict than all the years the US had been in Afghanistan.

Those things said I find it strange that anytime somebody mentions investment in revision of military tactics or technology somebody cries about some unrelated moral ambiguity from some value vacuum.
> with each soldier that comes home dead

Or the hundreds of civilians killed, raped, etc for every soldier killed. The biggest victims of war are the civilians. In ww2, vietnam, iraq wars, etc, the civilians accounted for the vast majority of the casualties, not the soldiers.

> how do you slow the war machine?

You can't. The elites who control the war machine control the propaganda in every country. Once they want war, the entire propaganda apparatus beats the war drums and anyone in their way gets steamrolled. Ask the dixie chicks, phil donahue, etc. Remember freedom fries? Go look at how quickly germany turned from being the heart of european civilization to nazi germany.

> I think the morals of the soldiers would severely limit this.

Has nothing to do with morals. Is it moral to go to another country and kill people? If you are labelled "enemy of the state" ( a great movie btw ), then you are fair game.

> Everyone knows this is the future, and saw it coming, but wow, I naively thought it would take longer.

It's not the robots that are worrisome. It's the concentration of money and power.

Again, the goal isn't to "stop bots from buying", but rather to stop them from posting fake reviews. You're reframing the whole discussion to something that has zero relevance to the discussion.
If you want to really be blown away by plant based meat replacements at fast food restaurants the dark horse is KFC. Whatever they put into their plant based crispy chicken burger is shockingly good, they also turned it into popcorn chicken which is also delicious.

It's too bad their restaurants are in such poor condition and their staff always seem to hate their lives... If not for that I'd probably go more.
And one is free to skip those companies. If those are the practices to entice you before you start, imagine how they would be when you’re working there.

That is because those weak small European countries’ security is guaranteed by the United States and its allies.
