>Do you have inside knowledge that the public doesn’t posses? Because I’ve been paying attention and I’m genuinely unsure what is happening ... default skeptical about all claims in every direction.

No inside knowledge necessary. Just read the court decisions themselves. They are public documents.

I don't have the time or the inclination to dig up all 50+ court rulings, many of which explain in great detail, the deficiencies of the claims that have been made and/or are unsupported by evidence.

If you are unaware of these court rulings (along with the claims being made by both sides, the arguments for and against and the opinions of the judges), that's because you haven't looked. Each and every case is in the public record.

Don't believe anyone who tells you there was/wasn't widespread electoral fraud/irregularities. Look at the documents yourself. They are publicly available (yes, I know I'm repeating myself).

Hell, even a bunch of the ballot counting processes across the country were live-streamed.

Not entirely.

As someone in a sibling thread pointed out, by necessity these research labs get access to patients' medical history, and releasing all of that all of a sudden seems like a net negative to society, especially when we don't have good policies everyone agrees upon for where e.g. you might be justified to turn someone down for a job because they have fragile bones, among other random reasons.

(Though as another sibling thread points out, it sounds like patient data isn't breached, so...who knows.)

The situation reminds me of when Google bought Motorola[0], and then the Android phone manufacturers pushed for them to sell it again. Which eventually happened. Main difference here would be that it's the government pushing now, instead of (indirect?) competitors (which also happen to be customers).

How does cleaving companies apart into their separate unrelated businesses address monopoly practices or anti-trust issues? If Amazon has a monopoly on delivery, the parted-out delivery company will still have a monopoly on delivery. If AWS has a monopoly on cloud computing, making AWS independent changes nothing. AWS is not going to begin competing with Amazon's last-mile delivery business if the two are split off into separate companies.

> Umm what's the incentive or motivation behind making this trade able?

Because it’s pretty fucking important and the best way to make sure it’s not wasted is to get it as freely traded as possible. Rations are terrible and we need pricing to make sure we aren’t doing something dumb like growing almonds in a desert with water that needs to be used for drinking water or even just another crop that isn’t so inefficient.

As it stands, the super old water rights around the US of farmers are fucking the rest of society because they don’t pay for it on an open market.

"terribly well"

What would be your standard in treating employees terribly well?

And it is strange to mention Musk and Bezos side by side. Their mode of employment is very different.

In Amazon, you are a preprogrammed cog in a spinning retail machine, micromanaged and followed everywhere by algorithms that seek to squeeze maximal output from you and punish you for slight deviations from the script (such as "not having your hand on a railing if you go upstairs"). They even encourage other workers to report you if you do something frowned upon. Human robots - which corresponds well to the nature of Bezos, who is often described as a way-too-rational, aloof man.

This is not what happens around Musk, who is a very different type of personality. In SpaceX, young engineers do overtime voluntarily because they are working on interesting unsolved problems, precisely the thing that you want to take part in at least once in your life. And it is understood that once they leave for a workplace with less driven culture, their stint at SpaceX will be considered very valuble.

Edit: If you are a youngish creative engineering type, you want to have a go at something that is both difficult and world changing. Most people will never have a chance to do so. So if you really become a part of a team that designs Starship etc., no wonder you will spend hours and hours there.

From my personal experience, chasing a difficult bug in my program means that the day flies by and suddenly, the streetlamps are lit. But the victorious feeling is worth it. And my software products are nothing like Starship.
It seems to me not so much "life and liberty" but rather "life OR liberty" - and somehow liberty is winning.
Cool! This battle was won. Now the next one: kill Electron.
Say I'm a farmer and I need X gallons of water next year. How much does that cost me? It costs YX where Y is the cost of water per gallon next year - which is unknown.

"Unknown" is something of a problem when preparing the budget for next year. I could buy X gallons now, but then I'd need a way to store it. Or, I could agree to pay a specific price now for water that would be delivered in the future.
What city is this?

"s I lived or visited in Europe cheap enough to compare was Prague and Lisbon."

Lisbon is a bad example. Real Estate is out of control there. A decent apartment will set you back at least 500k, thanks to supply and demand due to the Golden Visa.

"Educating your children for K-12 is free at the point of service, paid for by tax dollars"

There are a few excellent k12 schools if you live in the right place (did we mention real estate costs?). But if you want your children to go to a good school you likely have to pay for private school. Then the universities fees later. I think my school in the US bills you 60k or something per year. 4 years, two kids, this sets you back already about 1/2 million. If you pay for k12 we are talking easily 1 million for education alone.

"There are ton of totally valid and reasonable criticisms of life in the US that would not incentivize someone to move here, "

No sure. If you do the right thing at the right time the US is great. I immigrated, got a STEM PhD, got naturalized and then left to China. Never looked back. And if I see not how my friends that stayed are struggling, it was a really good decision.

Not everybody works in IT my friend.

> Because if you start to support Linux you actually have to support all the major distribution (Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) with their different idiosyncrasies, package format, libc implementations and/or version, etc.

Feral and Paradox for instance only support one (1) distribution. If you fall outside that, you're on your own for support, but you get runnable binaries.
The DSP is also much better on the beoamp (adau145x, the smaller variant). I run phase correct 250Hz crossovers as FIR on it. The 1701 has way too few taps for that. And the 1701's integrated DAC is considered quite poor.

The TPA implementation is pretty good as well. No audible noise or other obvious issues.
The same was said about food and toilet paper.
I think there is a very obvious opportunity here that people seem to be missing.

The first "high end ghost kicthen" to stick a camera in their kitchen and stream their food prep will probably make a killing.

You can probably build an entire social network for foodies around this stuff.
It depends on the gamer too. I played around with various game streaming services. The games are definitely playable, and look good, but the lag is in there. Outside of fastpaced FPS games, most gamers will probably never notice it. If you are used to 30 fps gaming, then it will feel normal to you. But if you run a 144 Hz monitor at home, streaming will feel sluggish and delayed in comparison.
Yes, the game theoretically optimal response to 9-11 would have been to do absolutely nothing. The damage is in the response.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood the chain of messages, my bad.
The article specifically states "we are unaware that any study participants have been identified through the data being accessed".

The breached data concerns "confidential information about the vaccine and its mechanism of action, its efficiency, its risks & known possible side effects and any unique aspects such as handling guidelines". What strikes me is the fact that this information is confidential at all.
> Do any of the major distros use musl or any other libc in a meaningful way?

I'm playing with voidlinux/musl in a virtual machine and it's pretty neat. Just found a couple of non-posix-isms in my programs thanks to that.
That doesn't explain why more people in general are dying.

Like, if you look at the number of people who died in the past week in the USA, and compare to the number who died during the same period last year, the first number is much more bigger than the second one.

Financial incentives might skew the numbers, but that's why statisticians look at multiple sources of data.
Which is why Chicago, Toronto, and other Great Lakes cities will be the booming metropolises of the late 21st century.
> If you want to talk about how to improve LGBT rights in Bangladesh, is decolonization a useful framework.

Rhetorically, yes. Pointing out that a law certainly isn't something brought in to protect Bangladeshi values and culture, but a relic of the former colonial powers' values it's now extremely embarrassed by is a useful line of argument. Of course it would be wrong to assume that prejudice against LGBT people in Bangladesh stems primarily from fidelity to the values of Victorian Britons, but when you're arguing against people who insist that those arguing for greater tolerance are importing foreign values to replace what Bangladeshis have always believed, the actual historical context can help.

No, you're just completely missing the point. By a mile.

You can't bury your hand in the sand and pretend that everything is fine. It's not.

Almost every browser out there is dying, everything is being taken over by Chrome/Chromium/Blink. The alternative is Webkit/Safari, which comes with its own limitations.

Firefox's market share is 5% and dwindling. Web developers have stopped caring about Firefox. Many sites are slow or barely working in Firefox. Firefox bugs aren't being fixed.

Soon I'll be forced to use Chrome because the alternatives won't allow me to do my job.

Open Source browser alternatives can't keep up. And even though Chromium itself is Open Source, it's not a complete browser for the modern web (see DRM).

So we're all going to be using Chrome or browsers built by corporations with the same incentives as Google (Microsoft also has an ad network, Opera is now owned by a semi-shady Chinese VPN company). And these browsers are gutting ad blocking.

Plus ads are getting smarter and we're not that far off from a point where ad blocking in its current form is no longer efficient. See for example stuff like the DNS over HTTPS changes.

And if it would only be about this, you'd be missing the point by "only" half a mile.

The other half a mile is that many people are forced to use a certain browser. At work, at school, etc. Or they don't know how to change their browser or what a browser even is. We're all in this together, the internet is one big network.

And for regular people, modern browsers are just as bad as Flash. Maybe even worse, at least Flash had a modicum of design as a platform. The web platform is a huge mishmash.

Deliberate murder is common in nature as well, down to cellular level. If you want to classify failing to fight an infection as natural behaviour, I'm not sure why murder wouldn't be as well. This is not a great logic.
> Fresh, clean water exists in plenty in nature

Not really no. It requires huge amounts of infrastructure, logistics, regulation to get it to people. Industrial activity, farming use water to make the food you eat
> it's strictly a bet traders can place.

It’s a way for people who need water for processes to lock in prices. If you’re genuinely curious about why futures are useful, look into “commercial hedging”. It’s used by both suppliers and consumers to reduce price uncertainty (think of a farmer being able to buy water for the whole year).
This ELI5 is actually not a good summary, the article is way more nuanced than this simplistic summary would suggest.

In an effective organisation middle managers are not incompetent rather they are clueless , they entangle their destiny with the organisation's believing falsely that working towards the betterment of the company would be good for their personal careers. They are actually competent, but very gullible to being tricked into by sociopaths (the upper management) for their own gains.

The higher up executives are in fact the least concerned about the organisation, this makes them take bold risks and start new initiatives (which some times succeed, but mostly are a power grab) to further their own goals of power and leadership. They also carefully select the middle management for avoiding blame and responsibility.

At the bottom are losers, some of these are wannabe sociopaths , they effectively spend all their time towards finding opportunities that put them ahead and some of them are dedicated losers who work hard and are setting themselves up for being used as pawns by higher ups.

The rest are either doing just enough to stay in the loop knowing well how the game works or are failing to do even the basics and end up getting fired.

It's a great insight that "You cannot defend a system by destroying its foundation."

Continuing along that line of thinking: the "good side" can't possibly be the one participating in a cover-up, trying to brush aside all the evidence of fraud.

If Trump had said "I'M DECLARING WAR ON COVID!! Lockdown is necessary, WEAR YOUR FREEDOM MASK WE WILL WIN!" what would have been the outcome?

I am fairly certain there wouldn't be any of this hand-wringing about "tradeoffs" between rights and liberty.

Deficits only matter when the other party is in charge, elections are only fraudulent when we lose, and science is a hoax when conclusions don't support what we wanted to do anyway.

My main fear is this: Reality may have a "well-known bias" but it also has the benefit of being true and backed by the physical laws of the universe. Eventually reality catches up. We are damn lucky that COVID wasn't much worse.

We're also very lucky Trump is not a great policy maker and surrounds himself with sycophants and loyalists rather than ruthless movers and shakers. But he laid down the template and I have no doubt would-be dictators and evil people in both parties are salivating at the prospect of replicating his methods but with much more competence. That is extremely dangerous and something we should all be very afraid of. And I really mean the threat is coming from both directions. Republicans have certainly proven they have no principles, but imagine a populist Democrat cut from the Trump cloth with a dash of competent leadership who decides term-limits are for suckers?

I remember in the 90s when Republicans were all about winning people over with their ideas and actually championed making it easier to vote because if you have good ideas and policies why would you be afraid? You should be able to win hearts and minds. Who knew we'd end up here? One of the many reasons I left the party.

All this really depends on what language you want to do this on. (A viable example on Java)[https://youtu.be/KA6rJZOfTTQ]. I think what you want is basic software rendering, so be advised: software rendering gets really slow really fast.

A Russian friend of mine once told me a joke: aliens have abducted a Russian, gave him two perfect steel balls, put him in a perfect empty room without doors or windows and told him to come up with a trick to entertain them once they return in a week. They threatened to disintegrate him if he fails to amuse them. Once they returned and asked him to perform the trick he invented he told them he's sorry but he has broke a ball and lost the other one.

Futures markets improve the affordability of the resource by its actual consumers by stabilizing its price. Unpredictable prices, even if they end up being low, hurt consumers by requiring consumers to keep cash in reserve just in case the (remember, unpredictable) price swings wildly. That cash in reserve is cash that cannot be spent elsewhere, be it necessities like food or luxuries produced elsewhere in the economy.
You know what? Nobody asked that question before, and I find it a bit difficult to come up with an answer.

I suppose it just means "we consider access to this resource too important to deny it to anyone, whatever the reason". It's the ground upon which policy should be decided.

> Fusion should lead to unbeatable specific [impulse]

No, because the effective specific impulse is so low, as a fusion reactor will only be able to fuse a small fraction of its mass before it is too radiation damaged to work. ITER, for example, would take 300,000 years to fuse its own mass in fusion fuel, but no DT reactor could operate more than a few years (if that) before parts need replacing.

If you want high effective specific impulse and high thrust at high specific impulse, beamed power is the way to go.
