Is this the beginning of a cover story that the intelligence agencies are setting up in reaction to congress passing a provision to be briefed on UFO research within 180 days as part of the covid funding bill?

Also note that David Fravor encountered the Tic Tac UFO tech in the early 2000s about 13 years before the publishing of this paper.
I have been framing things in terms of priorities to get at this kind of thing.

Ie: Let's make sure everyone sees the doctor without going bankrupt or being denied for lack of money

, or

relitigate the SCOTUS decision gun ownership being an individual right, and like all rights, is not absolute, subject to reasonable regulation.

Pick one.

And one is all we get due to how politics currently works in our US system. As for changing it? Same priority discussion.

Without our people being able to express consensus in a potent way, we basically ignore them right now. No judgement there, just hard reality.

How do we want to play it then?

So far, these kinds of conversations have been super interesting! They often go pretty well. The core idea is being for something we have majority consensus on rather than burn time on things we don't.

Expressing all this stuff in terms of priorities could be a way to get past how toxic it all is.

What I will say is quid pro, pro. Get health care sorted and we all can have a much lower cost, lower risk conversation about guns...
I would first question whether or not you actually need a web version and if it might be a very different experience. I only say this because I wasted months duplicating my app experience to the web and less than 1% of users use the web version regularly.

I've worked with React Native for iOS and Android and would recommended it. It's a huge challenge to make complex apps feel as fast and slick as building in Swift, but that may be an issue with any js framework (and I may be biased from working in Swift also).

The popularity of React is another plus: it's easy enough for a web React developer to learn React Native.
If a component conforms both to the rules for server components (no interactivity) and to the rules for client components (no direct access to backend resources), then it can be used both as a server component and as a client component. This is useful for many purposes. But it is not true of server components in general.

IMO tech overplayed their hand. If there's one thing lawmakers don't like, it is being shown their power is limited.

This time it was the right, but the left knows it can happen to them next. I feel congress has realized tech has too much power now.

When I said piracy was the better service, what I meant is it offered much higher quality, not that it was easier to use. Piracy actually takes a ton of work. Of course paying for a streaming subscription is the easiest solution: people just pay and enjoy what it offers. The problem is the fact they consistently offer the lowest quality product.

1. Horrible video compression to save bandwidth

When they offer users high definition content, they're actually talking about the resolution of the image. The quality and detail of the image will almost always be much worse if compared to another source such as Blu-Rays. Netflix somehow manages to add compression artifacts to nearly 100% black frames. Scenes with a lot of movement are actually painful to watch.

Compare that to the obssessive attention to detail you can often find in piracy communities and the winner is obvious.

2. Censorship

These services aren't afraid to cut content in order to broaden their audiences. They may even be required to do it by law. Pirates obviously don't have these problems.

3. Annoying copyright issues nobody cares about

Netflix once had Terminator 1 and 3 but not 2, as well as Spider Man 1 and 3 but not 2. Was the license for these movies too expensive for them? Who knows? Who cares?

Want to watch a classic film? An influential film? Chances are it's not on Netflix. Where is it then? Who knows... Maybe not actually available at all anywhere no matter where you look.

Piracy just ignores these issues. As a result it gives you access to almost everything humanity has ever created.

4. DRM

Netflix won't give you access to their precious 4k+ streams if it feels your device isn't locked down enough. Disney is even more aggressive with these measures. Even on my perfectly locked down PS4 system it won't let me download content ahead of time. Apparently they think network connections are reliable.

Pirates simply don't have these problems.

5. Superior technology

Netflix's video player is garbage compared to mpv. The video players of every other streaming service manage to be even worse. It's not just the basic-ness of it either: sometimes it stutters and falls out of sync with the audio, sometimes it screws up the rendering of subtitles...

The one area where streaming service technology wins is their ability to offer alternate audio streams.
Raising money?

If Tesla cared about their mission, they wouldn’t sell pollution indulgences. They would sit on their emissions credits to force the auto industry to transition to EVs that much more quickly. Yet they sell them in order to stall the EV programs of their competitors.

And, therefore, when you buy a Tesla you’re just enabling an extra polluting SUV to be sold to someone else. Because they sell pollution rights your purchase has created for them, there is no net environmental benefit to buying one.

Akka Cluster works in-memory, RabbitMQ doesn't.

Say you want to have multiple actors (one per user / customer or whatever) and you get HTTP requests and want that exactly this actor handles them (to guarantee consistency), then you can't really do this with RabbitMQ.

I mean, you can make the machine that receives the request push it to the queue and keep the http connection alive, have the machine that is responsible for the user read it from a queue and then somehow tell the first machine how to respond the http request... but then you pretty much re-implemented Akka Cluster in a worse way.

Persistent queues and Akka Cluster solve different usecases.

The technical reasonings don't matter. It is a reflection of the failure on the part of software engineers, product managers and standards bodies.

We are using a document markup language to create interactive UIs. Which, for some crazy reason, has taken over the rest of the industry as well. I have a TV with a React UI, which takes around a second to respond to actions on my remote control. Decades ago, TVs were responsive, even though they had a minuscule amount of processing power compared to modern ones.

You'd think that people would recognize that the web was not meant for what it is used today and would standardize on an alternative with similar benefits (easy debugging, quick feedback cycle, modern tooling) that would actually allow us to build proper interactive UIs, but apparently it is impossible to develop new software. Please, someone, kill HTML.

Usually this is met with either righteous indignation, or a hard pass, or agreement of some kind.

When I ask, "how so?", I tend to understand the other person better and have an opportunity to have a respectable, sometimes productive dialog.

Re: more parties

I agree with you. Sadly, I do not believe those party options make much sense in our current system.

And it is the system, meaning changing it will require similar effort as it does to get anything else done, so...

I feel factions, blocs, caucuses can serve a similar role. On the right, the Tea Party was quite effective. Not endorsement, just noting dynamics that apply here.

The economic left is contemplating similar ways and means.

The other tool we do have is collective action. Class type moves that can deliver very significant incentive to change.

>The risk is otherwise you will shoot yourself in the foot, maybe during an interview or other situation

If the point is to identify the speed (or ram consumption) of algorithm, then why not check for that itself instead of the vocabulary in an interview? Why be pedantic when you can instead measure how well they would do as a developer? In an interview you can ask followup questions to see how precise their ability to explain their thought process is.

If someone is so pedantic that they would consider the interviewee to have shot themselves in the foot because they said "The big O is n squared." without any followup questions from the interviewer, that doesn't sound healthy to me. I would worry this kind of culture would extend past the interview and it wouldn't be an enjoyable place to work.

Can you imagine working in a place where people regularly argue over terminology instead of just making sure everyone is on the same page?

Real free speech is always counter cultural. You only need it when you're saying something counter to what the culture thinks.

But I'm talking about the speech itself, and you're talking about support for free speech. You'd expect support for free speech to not be counter-cultural. But when what's being expressed is counter-cultural, support for the speech may be somewhat weaker among the culture, at least among those who aren't sticklers for principle.
Something I've been trying to understand lately is Republicans' view of "Big Tech" as the new bogeyman. My impression is that Republicans are generally "business friendly", which can take on forms like a certain Midwest state giving billions in tax cuts for a TV factory to the tune of $200k+/employee, seizing land by eminent domain when necessary. And now only a couple years later you have the same party berating tech CEOs and threatening to regulate or break up Facebook and Twitter. What happened to laissez faire?

With regards to ending foreign conflicts, to me it seems more like a desire to return to America's pre-WWII isolationist position. It might be hard to imagine now, but up until Pearl Harbor there was virtually no desire among Americans to enter "Europe's" war (>90% opposed).
There's no reason the number of humans dealing with these problems can't scale alongside the number of humans creating them.

But it's a lot cheaper to pay for a few really expensive programmers to make a just-good-enough AI than to pay for thousands of human moderators. So we end up with a stupid computer creating tonnes of human misery all for the sake of FAANG's already fat profit margins.

I don't think the scala crowd scoffs at Akka because they are beholden to pure functional programming. The pure FP crowd is actually a minority...significant enough to acknowledge, but not enough to make or break anything about the community.

The real problem with Akka is that, at least until very recently, you had to abandon any semblance of type safety if you used it. That was very frustrating to work with. I can take or leave pure FP, but you can pry my strong static typing from my cold dead hands.
A lot of musicians can 'play' with tones and chords in their imaginations ... even whole compositions. With training those can be written down without the need of an instrument. Beethoven had 40 years of hearing experience, and had lots of ideas (to remember) while he went on walks. So, I suspect his 'aesthetic' was a hearing one ... different from someone born deaf.

This is a surprisingly difficult problem and yet not as common an issue as you might anticipate. For most use cases you can rely on the filename or extension.

I wrote scc and it eventually reached enough people I needed to add some basic checks to determine the difference between coq and verilog. It’s primitive mostly because I try to prioritise speed without losing accuracy. Another code counter tokei does not do this at all and only uses extensions. The number of people unhappy with this decision is surprisingly small.

But you could easily get away with just remapping as I doubt they occur in the same repo very often.

That said I’m looking at improving this sort of thing because of the number of C with C++ code bases.

Oh I should also mention there is no universal list of extension and name to language mapping anywhere online. Each tool builds it’s own. I’d love someone to take this on and have some sort of standard for everyone to follow and build against.

We're well within the realm of sci-fi speculation here, but if you have a gravity generation device that can be directed you could augment traditional aircraft to safely allow for high G maneuvers or sustained accelerations that would otherwise be harmful to the pilot or the airframe. That would have some tactical advantages even if it doesn't mean it helps us go faster.
Not knowing your advantages as an early company.

For example: you get a huge boost in rankings when you first launch an app in the App Store. Not enough to be #1 above a Calm, but certainly #1 for medium-difficulty keywords. Once this advantage goes away, you'll need a strong ASO strategy and money to spend on ads to boost keywords.

Some of these opportunities are tough to overcome after you missed them. Press is very similar: reporters will cover a newly launched product, but new features likely won't get a feature.

> What irks me is people who use the equal sign as in T(n)=O(n log n), though. Why would a function equal a class? Set membership notation does the job just fine.

It's strange but it's fully standard. I would guess it develops from the use in analysis, where o(n) is more common. You derive your formula, it has a term in it that you don't want, you observe that "complicated term's numerator = o(n)", you take your limit, and the term vanishes away. Use of the = sign makes more sense there, because conceptually you're claiming something about the value of the term. (Specifically, that in the limit, it's equal to zero.)
