Ducted fans still run into the same issues if the airflow reaching the blades is supersonic. However with a ducted fan you can have the inlet slow the air down to subsonic speeds. In this way ducted fans are used in nearly all supersonic aircraft today. It should be noted though that these turbofans for supersonic use are way smaller than those in use for subsonic aircraft. A 3 meter diameter fan is close to the current limit for such subsonic flight fans, scaling up a supersonic fan that large is still non-trivial.

As for heating up the air and pushing it out, that concept is known as an airbreathing arcjet, which is really just a ramjet. While preventing the electrode from eroding is something of a technical challenge, it's comparatively mild. The main issue here is just power: batteries tend to discharge slowly so to get enough instantaneous power you need a very large number of batteries discharging in parallel, which are very heavy. However if you're just looking to set a speed record and not actually fly any useful distance, this may not be too much of an issue. Personally an arcjet would be my strategy of choice.

It’s a typo, actually. They intended googol and wound up with google.
I love it. I really enjoyed using the randomised search/result and getting some interesting things to read.

What was really fun though was checking out the HTML source code: check out those capital letters and tables! Damn!

I remember having an HTML book as a kid. My mother thought I was so smart. Now I can barely slap together the trash we call HTML, CSS and JS these days. I have to copy/paste and fiddle and that's the best I can do!

I miss how simple tables were. Maybe I'm missing something of today's tech?

“Dying” is quite the stretch. I think a better description would be “trying to squeeze as much revenue from existing products”.
You can use guard functions to validate external data. This same problem comes up in other statically typed languages. You can't guarantee that external data will be in the shape that you expect so you must validate it. If you're just taking your `unknown` API response and immediately casting it to your desired type then that's your fault, not TS

Because, in practice, as other have explained, it cannot survive - not even in theory. It's impractical, it's slow, it's expensive to transact with.

Welfare programs promote the welfare of USA residents, which is a valid use of public funds. The defense budget is almost entirely wasted. We haven't won a war in 75 years. Our various bumbling military misadventures have killed thousands of Americans and millions of other humans. If we spent a tenth of what we spend, both we and humanity in general would be safer, happier, and more prosperous. The Pentagon is never held to account for its myriad failures, so over time it has evolved to do only one thing well: consume vast resources.
The public continues to smoke 40-50 years since it’s been shown that it causes cancer. The public isn’t a good indicator.
I really hope that is "14.3% higher than the 5 year average mortality rate for the first week of November from 2015 - 2019" not "14.3% higher than the 5 year average mortality rate for the entire time period from the start of 2015 to the end of 2019." Because mortality is pretty strongly seasonal.

Edit: "So far this year, up to 6 November, 517,650 people have died from any cause in England and Wales. This is 58,555 more than the five-year average." So the definitely seasonality adjusted excess mortality for the year to date is about 12.7% (or 12.4% possibly, depending on how the leap day was handled).
Proof we're living in a simulation.
Exactly my experience too.

If there’s one thing I want an antitrust investigation to focus on, it’s the gradual monopoly that Google/Microsoft/etc have inadvertently built over “clean” IP addresses. It’s now practically impossible for independents and small businesses to run their own mail servers.

I’m not blaming Google/etc for it, but it is a situation that requires a fix.
People can already get semi-direct access to capital markets by directly engaging with a broker or wealth management fund.

Yeah. The alternative is they see a lot of big tech regulation headed their way. They preemptively set the rules of the negotiation by pushing their limits that come into question. After that, negotiating down a little makes government funded crackdowns more appealing for everyone, and they’ve still effectively set their own rules. Even if they lose a few million in fights, it’s something they’re committed to fighting.

As a Seatteite, that second picture looks great; and, it’s reflected instead in some junky, but very wide roads where many of those interstates would have been. 99 is a 40mph highway in many places, and the viaduct previously supported huge amounts of traffic.

SVR4 was released in 1990, before win32 or NT even existed. By the time Interix came along, the whole world was ELF — there was even an Intel standard that unified all x86 UNIX ABIs, iBCS.

Rather than developing UBI, we should be working on figuring out how to solve this issue.

Maybe ask ourselves how best to pay people for the work they have already done on Open Source.

That would be a better way to create a future in which people do what they love and are good at. That would reward the right things. That would make people feel good about the social justice angle.

It might even improve our code.

The critical factor missed in these discussions is the cost of diligence.

Someone writing a $20,000 cheque cannot spend $2,000 to $5,000 on lawyers every deal. This self selects for getting screwed. I would go so far as to say it is not possible to invest in private markets responsibly, outside one’s employer’s stock, with solely $5 to $25k cheques.

This is different in the public markets where the burden for disclosure is on the issuer. There is still risk. But you can’t buy Apple stock that loses money when Apple goes up. Options are complicated. But the complexity is standardised. It is totally possible, on the other hand, to buy common stock in a company that gets restructured to zero, or invest in an SPV that loses its shares to third-party repurchase rights. No amount of Googling will save you because the terms on each deal are bespoke.

Yes, that's why I responded, 'making economic sense' is much broader than saving money, because economics is focused on value rather than money.

People believe it is focused on money rather than value of course.

I think the only thing you can do is to be up front about setting expectations very clearly and prominently in the project.

If it is a large project relied upon by a lot of people or businesses, that's when you start charging for support when the issue is mission critical, or you encourage others to do so and provide a link to their support business.

Free Thought and Official Propaganda
I think my partner (a front-line worker) and I got Covid earlier in the year. We both had "typical" flu symptoms, but one thing really stands out - that we thought everything tasted terribly bland, and shockingly, our Grey Poupon mustard tasted absolutely disgusting. More of a weapon than a condiment.

At the time they hadn't talked about losing the sense of smell with Covid yet. But "Hindsight is 2020!" Because we definitely both had that. When it came out in the news that losing smell was a symptom, we were already back to normal health and gave each other knowing glances and simultaneously said, "hmm..." What we both had made us often comment over meals that everything was like eating Mac 'n Cheese with our noses plugged. Try that. You'll be surprised. You won't eat all of it unless you drown it in salt first.

Thankfully once we got better, the mustard tasted like it's supposed to again. I'm a fan of mustards and pepper sauces. That really freaked me out.

The part that sucks is that apparently getting Covid doesn't stop you from getting it again 3 months later. Thank Gawd we already know about booster shots, and that's exactly how we're doing it.

> Open source hackers suffer the same fate as other creatives. What's the software industry analog of gigging at some shit bars that rake in money getting people who like your music drunk but not paying you all while working a day job so you can do what you love?

Agree.

> Really it's this whole stupid capitalist setup.

Disagree. Capitalism is a viable prospect, perhaps the only one that won't be bastardized by randoms at some level of economic activity. However, it should be kept in check in some form. I like the idea of UBI personally, but there are other alternatives.

In addition to UBI, which would give labourers more bargaining power with employers, some regulation is needed (Environmental, GDPR), but should be written with input from subject matter experts.

I'm open to having my mind changed on any of the above, but this is the conclusion I've drawn at this point.
I hope the new M1 Macs stay cool to the touch when running electron apps still. They should now that this runs natively.
I mean, I'm not necessarily taking a side on GP's claim, but don't be disingenuous.

Should firearms for kids be illegal? Should driving for kids be illegal? Should gambling for kids be illegal? Should starring in porn for kids be illegal? Should data-mining the behaviour of children be illegal? Should paying children to work in mines be illegal?

Obviously the principle would be something along the lines of "games with microtransactions are potentially hazardous to the buyer in a way, or to a degree, such that while we should allow adults to make their own choices, we should protect children from the consequences of being partially-formed minds, and so we should avoid targeting children with that business model". Same as gambling, or selling your PII to get free services, or starring in porn. I'm not saying it's a slam-dunk argument, I'm saying the structure of the argument is obvious and straightforward. And I expect every adult to be at least partially sympathetic to it, even the ones who end the paragraph with "but, on the balance, freedom is more important, so it should not be illegal".

Well. I admit. I mostly agree with GP's claim. But not with high confidence.

- Various "serverless" cloud gambits will chop things up in different ways

>>The goal is to maintain measures until a vaccine arrives, eliminating the threat for any said country.

Yes of course, but if the crop of vaccines prove, after more extensive usage, ineffective, or if the virus mutates quickly enough to make the currently developed vaccines ineffective, as many coronaviruses have been known to do, it may lead to indefinite on-off lockdowns.

>You don't need the country to be isolated from the rest of the world. If the effective reproduction (R) of your country's population is below 1 it won't spread there, even if the rest of the world is letting it run wild and free.

That only persists as long as the lockdown measures you mentioned are in place. Yes if you maintain those measures indefinitely, you can keep the virus at bay indefinitely, and that's a different claim than I thought you were initially making.
The piece has a lot in it but I'll just pick the last paragraph because it seems to sum the core message up

"So we’re left with a giant that’s incapable of self-scrutiny, because that might lead to implosion, paired with a set of institutions that increasingly all reflect the same worldview and do so in very strange ways."

My question about this narrative which is a popular one is, when was this not the case? Yes, the writers at the NYT skew young, skew educated, skew urban. 'New Yorkish' as the article puts it, but is this news? The paper of record is dominated by urban, elitist, young, liberal writers. Just like it always has been. Just like it is in every other country on earth. I don't know of any major newspaper that is stuffed by 60 year old farmers and mechanics.

Big Media like Big anything recruits out of elite institutions, and that's what it looks like and what it talks about.

It's understandable that someone working in media frames the issue as if it originates in media and as if there has been a huge change in media, but I don't see it. To me noteworthy is the political shift in the US. Whereas the liberal elite formerly had presence in both parties, now there is a huge political rift, similar to the dynamic around universities, and that is what has created the attack on establishment newspapers or other civic institutions.

It's the polarisation of the political landscape that has created space for an attack on universities or media, or the arts. Demographically or in terms of attitude or quality very little has changed within those institutions.

> it is not possible to invest in private markets responsibly, outside one’s employer’s stock

I'd argue that if your employer is still private, investing in their stock is often quite unresponsible as well. Often you don't even get real stock but options, there can be arbitrary dilution, and there is no contractual right for you to get your money back (unlike if you invested money).
