The speed disadvantage between the P-51 and ME-262 is not as bad as you think.

Plus the difference in weapons would be in the P-51's favor, the ME-262 was armed with low velocity 30mm guns great for taking out bombers, but not great for dogfighting other fighters, meanwhile the .50 cal machineguns on the P-51 could open fire at around 800m and accurately score some hits.

The main problem with the ME-262 vs the P-51 was the Me-262 was still a little faster, so it could just decide to run away if it wanted to instead of engaging.

Ultimately though it didn't come down to what you were flying, it comes down to pilot skill.
> You can be very attuned to this whether you are agreeable or disagreeable, no?

I would think so as well. In fact, along the way I've learned that sometimes it's the less agreeable ones who are acting in the interest of the customer's situation but there has been a communications breakdown that doesn't necessarily reflect on the character of either party.
This is extremely important for the modern term capitalism.

Every intervention the US government does is a signal to other governments and entrepreneurs.

If you are an aspring developer, you can choose to make your program local, US centric, or worldwide.

The economics don't always work for third world countries or globally, so they are forced to make products that are US centric. Banning apps shift the risk and could encourage more local apps.

With more US centric programs, US citizens are exposed to new ideas and economic competition. These are good for the long term despite the short term disruption.
Ah, okay. Sure, that's what any recommendation system will do. But it's not like how Netflix 'actively' (might not be the best word to use, then) steers you towards Netflix originals because Netflix prefers you watching those.

That's what I thought you meant, but it looks like I was mistaken.

The free developer license seems pretty useless for larger organizations and OS licenses aren't managed by developers in general anyway.

>Yes, but only one no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription can be added to a user account. While it is possible to have each developer register for their own account, this is not ideal from a management or efficiency standpoint. For example, if a company wanted no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscriptions to cover 100 developers, each developer would need to individually register and independently create 100 accounts that need to be tracked and maintained. For enterprises that use Red Hat Satellite to manage multiple systems, all 100 accounts would need to be added individually. Accepting the terms and conditions and renewing the subscription annually would need to be done individually and manually for all 100 accounts. Staff turnover in the development team would create additional management challenges with individual accounts. Therefore in terms of lost productivity, managing individual no-cost subscriptions will not be cost-effective for many groups.

Many development organizations benefit from having Red Hat Developer Support. Cost effective bundles are available that include support with a pack of 25 Developer Suite subscriptions that can be managed from a single account. Each of these subscriptions is based on systems, rather that users.

> mostly based on some outdated views on the role of the army

And this is where we differ - I think _your_ opinion is outdated ;) The services that you listed mostly do not require an "army", what exactly is camouflage gear & combat training good for with regards to helping with covid-related tasks (or any other "Katastrophenhilfe"-related endeavour)?

The "Swiss army knife" metaphor is exactly what I so despise about the Swiss army; it's their excuse for essentially being an eternal "Pfadilager" for adults. Actual participation in conflicts mentioned by GP aren't an option anyway thanks to Switzerland's neutrality.

Luckily, it seems the trend is clearly in my opinion's favor, as was evident once again with the results of the last referendum on fighter jets - the pro-army-folks are a dying breed, it is just a matter of time until the 'Wehrpflicht' is finally abolished (I estimate it takes another ~20 years or so until the cold war era generation starts to become a minority), and when that happens, it's just a matter of time until the rest of the army gets to boot too, as all the nostalgia-driven sentiments towards it will not exist anymore (currently, put 10 Swiss men in a room, and it will take at most half an hour until their army experience becomes a topic).

And you know what? It'll be for the better of the world, and Switzerland especially. Finally, we will be able to say "We do not participate in this barbarian head smashing anymore, we're civilized folks"; someone needs to make the start and Switzerland is in the best position to do so. We're already not participating anyway; but we're still training generation after generation to do so; and this needs to stop eventually. My hope is that this will be the case in the next 20-30 years or so, I wouldn't mind if it was earlier ;)
When I wrote the first one in 1953, I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened; I wanted him to be a blunt instrument ... when I was casting around for a name for my protagonist I thought by God, [James Bond] is the dullest name I ever heard.
I think “AirPods Max” would be singular.

AirPods is the product line name. Max is the model. So you have AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. If you needed to buy 10 of these you would say your were buying 10 pairs of AirPods, AirPods Pros, or AirPods Maxes.

Honestly though, it's English we're dealing with, so there are more exceptions than rules, anyway. Muddy the waters further with proper nouns and branding considerations and basically the only people who can tell you what is "right" would be Apple's marketing dept.
Music can be and in practice is vector for far-right propaganda too. Or I guess far-left, except I knew about neonazi bands when I was younger and did not knew about communist bands. By neonazi bands I mean bands whose lyrics propagate those ides. Distinction without difference in this case, basically.

It was not metal, it was rock in that case. But here, those metal bands were also expressing their ideas and opinions in their songs.

There was such a thing as disproportional moral panic around metal in USA. And there was also such a thing as metal bands actually being like that. It is like ... there was satanic moral panic where a lot of innocent people ended up suffering. And then there was real world child abuse going on too.
You keep posting this link in this thread. The pricing on the stand and wheels is the definition of B2B.
But the airpods arent good headphones for their price range. They are successful because they are Apple, they offer a baseline quality for people who don’t know better and they offer status.
I don't follow. Why would you invest in Tesla rather than any other stock? The answer has nothing to do with interest rates unless interest rates uniquely effect Tesla.
If you think this list of high-end headphones, many of them even open-backed, are good alternatives to wireless, noise canceling headphones, then I can't really relate.

One is for sitting alone in a quiet room listening to music, the other is for travel, work, commuting, etc. in noisy environments where you still want decent sound quality.

The only real alternatives to these new Airpods are things like the Bose QC3 and similar Sony model, and based on the pricing I would say Apple is confident theirs sound significantly better.
Seemed pretty obvious to me. There are further, similar examples in the story. Maybe you can write to them to clarify for peace of mind.
I am shocked by how rationally priced are M1 Macs

Ok, so what are the indications that violent, racist ideologies are spreading faster or to a greater degree today than at other times?

I'm skeptical of the first, and I am doubly skeptical of the latter.
Probably because some investors believe that Tesla will achieve full self driving in the next 5/10 years. If this happens, Tesla might be worth much more than 2x Toyota.
I'd agree.

I'd further go on to say that 'unhappiness' is where there's a divergence of "Who you are", "Who you want to be" & "Where you are". Happy people tend to the ones who're really good at their job and a pleasure to work/spend time with.

I'd have thought the ideal would be you'd have your corporate structure/society, with all the varied positions filled and everybody happy in their roles.

Where it goes wrong is where the overall need doesn't map to the population - e.g. half of the people want to be benevolant dictators
> I would argue a traditional education in the humanities with the internet era is a moot point. You can do that without going into debt slavery via college loans. Instead of learning from a professor, watch some guy on youtube. Practice a lot. Make stuff. Join the literally endless communities that do the stuff you're doing.

I would argue this is proof that you don't understand the nature of an education in the humanities. (For the record, I say this as an English major dropout who's working as a software developer)

> The reason kids go to college is to get a good paying job. I hate to say it but if you're a kid who does not have affluent parents or don't live in an area where there actually are legitimate jobs in that field, it's 100% on you for doing that. I mean the opinion that those jobs don't exists isn't a stereotype for a reason. Students can get those jobs, but there most definitely aren't where they went to college typically. If you live in LA, Chicago, NYC; sure those could very well be viable career paths. In the middle of Idaho? Maybe you should reconsider who in Idaho is going to hire an artist outside of the small town that is their capital.

I went because I wanted to learn something and dig a little deeper into life that wasn't available or remotely present in my rural working-class community, or from my non-affluent parents. I didn't finish so I don't have the pedigree, but I did live and learn a great deal, and it's paid dividends. I'm, oddly, precisely your example, but of a mode that you say doesn't exist.

It's also dishonest to propose that the only pursuit of humanities is to try and eek life out as an artist alone. I mean, I'm sure you value historians.

I have to admit I'm confused by the arbitrary limitations you're imposing on the way one must live out their life. A degree in a given field is not a declaration of intent, it's a mark of study. You can do whatever you want. Some roads have prerequisites for taking them, others don't. And sometimes still, there are roads that are yet uncut.

Maybe what you're really talking about is how easy or hard a given path might be and then associating that with some kind of right or wrong. Efficient path navigation is not the purpose of humanities study or works. It's about discovering what we do not discover through science. Not even science is the end, just another method of discovery. The tangents are the purpose, and reflecting on those in any number of ways is the meaning... leaving the path navigation efficiency algorithms to slime mould.

I'm just going to write it: There's always going to be a minority that's shafted by the medical community, we don't matter as long as the majority benefits (fair enough imo, except I can't do shit even if I sign up to absolve everyone of responsibility and take it all on myself).

There will be side effects, they will be dismissed by doctors, people will be marginalized, called uneducated morons and pushed towards more radical communities.

It won't stop until a critical mass of people realize this is no better than treating people differently for being gay.

Right now, the pharma/medical industries are all-powerful. Can't do anything significant without them involved, and if your doctors turn out to be idiots with a degree, well you're shit out of luck, especially in Europe, where the holy universal healthcare can not be questioned.

Self-Reflection on Your Priorities
I've spent a lot of money on earphones over the last 10 years in order to try to find a pair that doesn't suck. Audio quality is perhaps fourth on the list of deciding factors. It doesn't matter how good headphones sound if they are painful to wear, have impractical misfeatures or are too expensive.

If these fit my head and I can wear them for 12 hours straight, they may be worth the money. I'd pay $550 for that.

However, this is Apple. Which means it is likely they will find some clever way of making these headphones obsolete. Or they will break in some unfixable, or expensive to repair, way.

I think I'll pass.
Seems like that is accurate. I am struck by how cleaner and simpler Debian's naming scheme is. If you don't follow the Red Hat world closely, those names are going to be very confusing.

Sick!! Well this makes perfect sense looking at the big bucks fortnite makes every month on cosmetics
I don't really see how that would work. The Sony XM3 and Bose QC35 II were regularly under €180 (VAT included) in the past days. Who's going to suddenly pay more than twice for the same?

And the original Nexus was expensive. So was the original Pixel. You can't really draw any conclusions from Google's inconsistent smartphone lineup and pricing over the past decade.

Cheap Nexus phones: 4, 5, maybe the 5X if you waited a bit.

Expensive Nexus phones: 1, S, Galaxy, 6, 6P.

Expensive Pixel phones: all of them except the 'a' line, sometimes ridiculously so given the poor experience.
Secondly, Apple has an awful case of NIH syndrome. If they didn't develop it themselves, they would rather develop it from scratch themselves

Not when it comes to security and privacy. They knew DoH and DoT were good, but not good enough when it comes to privacy, which explains why they didn't just implement it like Google and Firefox did.

Instead, the worked with Cloudflare to standardize something that's better.
I think the differentiation issue would persist no matter what OS a smartphone manufacturer come up with at this point if it is open-source, which it should be in order to get more manufacturers on board for getting apps developed for it and thereby risking fragmentation.
The Airpods Max is more comparable to something like Sony WH-1000XM4, Bose 700, or B&O Beoplay H9. You can't really compare wired openback headphones to headphones that are meant to be worn in public on the go. However, even among the wireless headphones with active noise canceling, the Airpods Max are more expensive than their competition. The closest in terms of features and price is the Beoplay H9 and that is $50-100 cheaper depending on where you buy it. To many people the extra integration with Apple products is worth paying the difference. For other people, especially those not all in on the Apple ecosystem, the cheaper competitors are a better option. However, comparing it to products in a different class is not a very good argument.

It's a marketing tactic. The goal is to be unaffordable, this way people create goals to buy it and show off to their friends.

This has been Apple's marketing since the 2000s.

The product quality is secondary to the price. Even the users don't want everyone to afford it. They want to be seen as unique.
Literally the first product apple has released in the last 15 years that isn't priced pretty far above competitors.
This seems suspicious to me. Apple does most if not all ML/data-mining on the device where-as competitors do it in the cloud. My assumption is they are positioning themselves this way to grab consumers later should regulations hit cloud services collecting data externally. Apple can say it is all on device and don't have access while other companies will have to say they have your data. Ultimately the motives are the same.
Yeah, the real reason the agencies haven't approved it is closer to "the wheels of bureaucracies that big turn very slowly", but the official reason is still that the data they've seen so far is inconclusive.
This happened to me following a tick bite, and I spent a year not eating mammals of any kind. Not eating beef or steak or pork or lamb is surprisingly easy on the surface and the choices are better than they used to be. But it's amazing how many mammal products have snuck their way into our food chain underneath, and those were the hardest things to avoid. Gelatin in liquid medicine capsules, pork-fat as a soup additive, chicken wings fried in beef tallow, the list goes on and on. And explaining to people in restaurants that you can't eat mammals because you'll swell up and die six hours later gets you a lot of weird looks.

Mercifully, after a year of being absolutely clean, I got a clean bill of health from my allergist: no more alpha-gal proteins in my system, and I can now eat soup in a restaurant or order the wings without worrying I'll wake up choking to death later on. As a plus, I will say it improved my diet considerably and got me to think a lot about what I eat, so the experience was not without its benefits. That said, I wouldn't recommend the experience to anyone.
That's right. But civilians believe the US air force is omnipotent.
It seems a little silly to complain that a feature is missing from headphones when it actually exists, but the user has made an active choice to include a different feature instead. With always-on listening and easy activation from phones these days, I can't help but think that there's little reason to use the button to activate a voice assistant anyway. Not least of which is the dubious usefulness of voice assistants.
That sounds interesting. I'm not fond of people proclaiming that this desire for increasingly radical media is inherently human, so I'm open to the possibility of a different feedback loop.

Do you have any idea of what that would look like?

>>Since bugs will probably be caught in CentOS

That is only true if CentOS continues to be widely adopted, with this move by RedHat i do not see that continuing, I am sure many org's right now are looking for options to move off CentOS / RHEL stacks.
They did in the past, with the Toyota RAV4 EV, and some Mercedes B-Class. The drivetrains were not very good.
Is there anything stopping the ground stations from being a ground based relay between different starlink satellites, basically beaming down from one and up to another? It would increase latency but could serve the same purpose as the lasers, and all they would need at the intermediate ground stations is reliable power. Eventually you get back to one that has fiber.
This is why I'm so surprised that other commenters are surprised. If you've ever worked for a Big Serious Company (especially the defense sector, but increasingly just about everywhere), they have an IT Security department, and that IT Security department has a data loss prevention plan. Part of that plan is endpoint protection software, and that endpoint protection software has to be a rootkit, by any reasonable definition of the word.

I guess the crux of the problem is that the modified/redlined language might have made sense to the GP's friend at the time, and the HR person might have thought it made sense, but you can't tell the DLP software "no personal information" -- if there's an incident and the company needs to perform a forensic investigation, they can't be responsible for determining what they're "allowed" to look at. As other commenters have said, if you don't want your employer seeing your personal data, don't put that data on the same device as your employer's data.
If this sell out despite the price, then it just proves that people will buy anything as long as it has an Apple logo on it.

Marketers and influencers out in full force.
I think they're referring to the recoil. It says 13 rounds were fired, and I'm guessing they were fired in fully automatic mode. Assuming we're talking about a higher caliber weapon (likely an AK variant, given the region), humans can't make a 10" group with an AK in full auto. Had a human tried this, they're about as likely to kill his wife as they are to kill him. AK's fire 600 rounds per minute in full auto, with each shot generating 6.9 ft lbs of recoil.

> Machine guns have penetration and dispersion

I don't think machine guns have the amount of dispersion that you think they do. An AK-47 shoots ~5-6 MOA groupings (5-6" groups at 100 yards). That's not particularly accurate for modern machine guns, but it is likely in the realm of what we're looking at here. An RPK is also an option, and would produce smaller groupings. Assuming you have something that can control the recoil, I don't see any reason why shooting in full auto would be less accurate.

> It's just such a strange detail that really doesn't speak to AI at all.

It has less to do with the AI itself and more to do with the implications. If someone really has created an AI that can wield guns, that is incredibly terrifying. World leaders are scared because assassination attempts used to be a death sentence; now they can be killed by a parked car. The rest of us should be terrified because mass shootings could become drastically more effective. If this thing has good target acquisition, it could become a terrifyingly effective weapon for mass shootings. As bad as our mass shootings have been, they're usually done by humans, who are pretty bad shots. The majority of the bullets miss everyone. Imagine what happens if there's an AI that can aim an AK as fast as the AK can fire. It could shoot 10 people in the head per second.
> People who use CentOS want a boring Linux distro like RHEL. They just don't want to pay for RHEL subscriptions.
