> nothing much ever came out of Sematech. It was a lot of hype, but not much result

It may be that nothing much will come out of this initiative, but what choice does Europe have? Europe simply has to have control over its computing/communications infrastructure, if it wants to be truly independent.

As Macron recently said ( https://geopolitique.eu/en/macron-grand-continent/ ):

> In concrete terms, this means that when it comes to technology, Europe needs to build its own solutions in order not to depend on American or Chinese technologies. If we are dependent on them, for example in telecommunications, we cannot guarantee European citizens the secrecy of information and the security of their private data, because we do not have this technology. [...]

> The same goes for the extraterritoriality of the dollar, which is a fact and not a new one. Less than ten years ago, several French companies were penalised to the tune of billions of euros because they had operated in countries that were banned under American law. In concrete terms, this means that our companies can be condemned by foreign powers when they operate in a third country : that is a deprivation of sovereignty, of the possibility of deciding for ourselves, it weakens our position immensely.

> Unfortunately, we grasped the full implications of this when it came to the discussion on Iran. We Europeans wanted to remain within the framework of what we call the JCPOA. With America’s withdrawal, no European company was able to continue doing business with Iran for fear of sanctions from the United States. Hence, when I talk about sovereignty or strategic autonomy, I am bringing together all these issues, which at first glance seem very different.
The fact that SpaceX's President and COO is a woman seems to get surprisingly little publicity, especially given that she seems like the more qualified engineer out of Musk and herself as well.
Because signatures can't be verified. In AZ the Judge asked them to sample 100, and 6/100 were "inconclusive"
Hebrew was a language perpetuated by Jews around the world for centuries before the state of Israel was founded. Even today, Jews anywhere doing a bar mitzvah ceremony must read some Hebrew.

Sure, Israel is the country where Hebrew was restored as an everyday spoken language, but Israelis are not the only Jews for whom Hebrew is important.
So we should keep people safe from any information that might upset them?

I don't understand your argument here. An astonishgly miniscule percent of the population commit crimes as a result of news stories.

Based on your argument, we also shouldn't report on police abuse because people may riot and burn down stores?
Toolpaths are typically auto-generated but there is a whole world of optimization and strategy beyond machining one part in a single, fixed setup.
You seem to think the answer to this is obvious, but it's sufficiently non-obvious to me that I don't even know which answer you're assuming.
> They'd be attracted to municipalities that they know will not prosecute them.

LOL, this makes as much sense as suggestions that members of $GROUP move to $STATE to achieve some political goal.

Do you have any idea how vanishingly small the number of people who can actually just up and move somewhere is?
Maybe. I’d be curious to see a breakdown of a traditional broker’s revenue compared to Robinhood.

I bet Robinhood makes most of its money off order flow (it was founded by HFT traders, after all), while traditional brokers make more money off fees, reinvesting, upselling other products, etc.
Luckily, earthquake-resistant structures have come a long way since then. For example, Tokyo is home to the second-tallest structure in the world, and they're not exactly unfamiliar with earthquakes
Sorry it's you that didn't read it. China has had a massive cyberop and stole pretty much every secret TSMC had. It doesn't matter whether Taiwan is trustworthy or not if their cybersecurity sucks. Good job for not reading, not understanding and then using a random fallacy to respectfully diss me.
will they be taking all evidence of fraud shared on their platform or only that with commentary siggesting that it was widespread?
I'm going to point out briefly that any preference you may have noticed would be a symptom of a society that says a full work week is 40 hours, and therefore needs to change.

Attributing this to a gender, instead of to a society (predominantly run by another gender), is incorrect at best.
Thinking about it this does feel a bit silly on their part. They're probably spending the better part of the decade to understand why it works, but its odd that they wouldn't have verified, or attempted to verify, that it works at all (even if humans != pandas)
Sorry to be clear I was talking about Hillary Clinton's misuse of private email as SoS. Didn't involve Russia to my knowledge - though I would not be surprised most larger nation states hacked there way in.

Sure Russia probably amplified it but it was wall to wall across ALL media a few days before the election - when undecideds are going to vote. And the big damage from the first hit.

The corruption, thinks she is above the rules, tarmac with Lynch etc. That hit really hard with the small slice of swing voters and maybe more importantly reduced turnout from Ds

I don't think anyone who would believe pizza gate would ever vote for Hillary lol e.g. not a swing voter to begin with

> As an aside I know a guy who completely fucked himself by doing mdma farvto much. It was really sad to meet him after a few years, he'd gone from happy outgoing to a paranoid mess.

The public discourse on MDMA is in a strange place. Many people desperately want to believe that it doesn't have negative consequences, but anyone who has watched acquaintances go downhill with repeated MDMA use knows that it's hardly free of side effects. The problem is that internet commenters will quickly come up with any and every excuse to dismiss negative studies, anecdotes, and evidence. The usual strategy is to blame polydrug abuse or imply that the drugs were somehow impure.
The majority of big tech people live in D+∞ areas. Given that, and the likely bias that comes as a result, it isn't unreasonable to not want their influence on what political opinions are or are not able to be said aloud.

So... YouTube. YouTube is the arbiter of truth we should accept?

Does that sound any less creepy to you? That a handful of people whose management is headquartered in a few zip codes in San Francisco can determine what people are allowed to talk about?
The PDF https://github.com/rodgarrison/tla_note1/blob/main/doc/tla.p... will do much better.

TLA is an acronym for Temporal Logic of Actions originally written by L. Lamport of PAXOS fame. The PDF contains numerous links to videos, books, docs, because TLA is widely supported and used.

TLA is like SPIN (http://spinroot.com/spin/whatispin.html) another well known model checker based on Promula not TLA syntax. And these tools fit into a larger universe of formal verification including, for example, COQ, Isabelle, Verdi, Dafny. The purpose of these tools (indeed they are all toolsets) is to:

- allow one to precisely state what safety and liveness properties a system should have. Sometimes we don't even know what those conditions are until we sit down and try typing it up.

- find counter examples to those safety, liveness conditions e.g. does my buffer overflow? did I deadlock? is one of my threads waiting forever? did my account balance ever go wrong? where? why?

People like these tools esp. for concurrent and distributed work where the program paths, call sequences is highly exponential and highly combinatorial and where one wants some assurance all the threads really work and get to the right post conditions and system behaviors.
I’ll say everything sounds like a bad game of “telephone” — that maybe someone told a friend that there’s a guy Epstein that keeps videos of powerful people, and then somehow 10,000 stories later, the story becomes the “pizza parlor around the corner is a powerful pedophile ring”

For those unfamiliar, telephone is a game in the US (maybe western countries) where 12 or so children sit in a circle and one whispers a phrase to another around the circle, something like “there’s a banana in the cabinet.” Then everyone has a big laugh at how ridiculous the story began and then ended up after going around the circle.
I wish they'd just pushed for TSMC to open a fab in Europe, with incentives and protections.

Micron has one in Italy that is basically shut down. I was once told that to avoid payouts, required by Italian Law, for letting employees go the factory had been put on a sort of "pause" everyone sent home but not let go. If things like this still go on I see no hope for a European electronics/Semi manufacturing industry to ever take hold.
It is not partisan. There is no proof of fraud.

"Our observers could not see anything"... then they could not see any fraud taking place either. It is a dumb narrative.
There was similarly a little mini-trend of rich people making a big show of renouncing their US citizenship in the Obama years, with probably a 10:1 ratio of articles to people who actually did it.
You could have left out the “This isn’t a rumor.” statement and not made a self-contradiction.
Even solo developers don't really choose a cloud platform based on the zippiness of the web UI. I've used Azure and briefly dabbled in AWS's web UIs, they're not better and are worse in some cases. Critical administration tasks are going to be wrapped and reused in CLI, the web UI is usually for ad-hoc stuff.

This is a pretty core staple of the b2b market: customers, even small ones, respond mostly to price & features that save a significant amount of time & money; Sorry but a sluggish web UI while annoying won't move the needle much on the bottom line.
Every time I come across a book I might want to read I add it to my amazon shopping list. When it's time to read a new book, first I check which titles the library has a kindle loan available for. If none, I go in order of cheapest first. Sounds silly, but it really does add up if you read a lot of books to spend so much money on them.

I’ve experienced the same thing. It makes sense. Ghost kitchens are a purely profit-motivated enterprise. Local restaurants are for-profit, but also places where hospitality, socializing, community, etc. has value. I would expect the food to reflect that.

The gain is that a lot more people get to live there now, which benefits all of those people. It no longer being for you is more than made up for by the fact that it is now for so many more other people.
WSB didn't cause these problems, it exposed them.

This kill-the-messenger foolishness is everywhere! People seem to think that if the words they don't like are removed from their favorite social media, those words will just disappear. In reality we should want those words out in the open so we can pay attention to them, respond to them, and if necessary react in a real (i.e., not attempted censorship) way.
This is not speech, it's just a fundraiser for research. And Braynard already achieved his goals, he did the research that he wanted and the results are included in lawsuits as evidence. Deplatforming him, if anything, only gave him more exposure. GoFundMe was wrong about their decision, end of story.
Reminder that the only state in the US that does not recognize non-competes is California [1].

If you are starting a business California is still a place competition exists.

Non-competes are the most anti-business, anti-worker, anti-innovation and anti-American thing you can think of.

Non-competes are like fixed authoritarian markets that appear open but are actually nearly mafia state controlled by the existing players.

Sure once you get big you might want to lock down the gains, but while growing and disrupting the lack of non-compete recognition is a huge things for both workers and businesses.

The ban on non-competes should be nationwide and California has always had that pro-worker, pro-business, pro-market policy in place [1]. When the AG of a state is calling for that to be nationwide, you know you are in a place that values value creation without limitation or blocking competition.

They did something mildly interesting, but I think you're giving them too much credit for stuff that's either unimportant or possibly harmful. (I would put a low barrier to entry in the possibly-harmful column.)

It's nice that free trades are the new normal and I don't think there is anything wrong with payment for order flow, but on the other hand, $7 is just not that bad a price. If you can't afford $7 trades then either you are trading too often, or you should stick to paying off your credit card debt and building up an emergency fund.

My local south Bay Area school district had a large drop in enrollment for the 2019-20 school year. The district administrators track where students go based on record transfer requests and they told me the most popular out-of-state destination was Texas.
> I'm a caffeine addict and my life is a lot better for it, as far as I can tell.

False equivalency is a massive problem in online drug discourse. It's not helpful to lump all substances into a single "drugs" category and then draw conclusions by cherry-picking specific substances like caffeine. We have plenty of evidence that caffeine is safe to consume regularly over the long term. Trying to consume MDMA at a similar frequency would provided disastrous long-term effects. It's disingenuous to try to equate the two substances.

> There's a continuous gradient between "medicine", "habit", "functional addiction", and "rock bottom addiction". It's hard to draw defining lines on other peoples' spectra.

It's not really as arbitrary as you make it sound.

The bigger problem is that addicts almost always fail to categorize their own usage, especially in the early phases. It's frighteningly common to hear addicts rationalize their escalating addictions as self-medication, or for alcoholics to convince themselves that they are functional alcoholics as their lives slowly fall apart.
Ahhh, thanks. That makes more sense to me. :)

> In that case, what protects against fraud?

Yes, controlled ballot papers and envelopes.

> I'm sure there are gazillions of other ways to get ballots.

You need gazillions of ballots going to someone who is the dedicated to committing fraud. There is no evidence that occurred, and it's easy to detect. Ballots are numbered, so if a bunch of sequential ones all are the same you can see it.

The process for this was all decided before the election. There's zero evidence that fraud occurred, and all people are pointing to is parts of the process they don't like.

no, government has to add its sinister components secretly while pretending to serve the public. A corporation doesnt just do it openly, they are often legaly obligated to do so. Google is in no way obligated to serve the public.
>Most of them are basically gambling, not investing. You talk to enough of them, they can’t tell why a stock goes up or down.

Very few rocket launches end with any kind of soft landing, let alone main boosters.

Soft-landing a small payload, or in the case of the shuttle, a winged reentry vehicle, is the exception. (And yes, the Shuttle also soft-ish watered its SRBs underr chutes.)

Retrorocket-soft-landing intact boosters from production launches fully upright was science fiction until four years ago.

Would they actually throw it away if it worked flawlessly? Why not try another test?
I can’t tell you which court because I’m not prescient and don’t know in what areas of the country there was substantial election irregularities (if there are any) until it is done being investigated. Guess what, the media isn’t either, so I don’t know how they can keep claiming this election is accurate before everything is investigated and audited.

Not to mention the really weird things happening like states deciding it’s not important to verify signatures. Sure they might have passed laws before the election that makes it legal to not check signatures, but does it make it right? I don’t think so.

>“But in our scenario, you are at least giving consent by taking your own cells. In the world of lab-grown meats, you are taking cells from animals without their consent.”

I'm an ethical vegetarian and this logic puzzles me. For the world to eventually move to lab-grown meat, there's (possibly) eventually going to have to be some living animals from whom some cells are harvested so they can be grown into tissue and organs.

True, the animals can't consent to that, but that seems like an interesting hill to die on given other non-consensual alternatives. If an animal were hypothetically sufficiently intelligent and given an ultimatum between "painlessly scrape some cells out of me and live the rest of my life on a pasture until a natural death" vs. "(probably mercilessly) torture and kill me and trillions of my relatives for eons to come", I wonder which they'd choose.
>Trump praised these people.

Trump is saying the people who don't want the statue taken down are fine people. He explicitly exludes neo-nazis and white nationalists. I am simply reading his words. No mind reading required.

>But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee.

>and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-pres...

And in a previous post I showed you people who went to the rally with the removal of a statue in mind. Don't assume Trump knew everything about the event, and it's make up as it happened. The news will show the extremists because peaceful protesters don't get eye balls so selective coverage isn't proof of anything.
If they'd decided for a water "landing" with SN8, I'd have assumed it was because they wanted any failures to happen further away from their test infrastructure, not necessarily because it was easier.
so is the implication that larger and/or less homogeneous populations are more at risk of breaking down? that could definitely be interpreted as not so thinly veiled racism.
