It’s unfortunate this has come to pass. What’s also unfortunate is how much less news and hype there is as the price comes down and retail investors have now lost a ton of money.

This is a learning moment that will unfortunately go unlearned by most.

Perhaps what we need most in this country is financial education at the high school level to prevent this kind of thing happening over and over rather than relying 100% on regulation. Regulation can only be reactive, and we need to be proactive.
> It sounds like they're saying that if someone is committed to a mental institution, rehabilitation could be a bad idea because it's just as likely that they're not fit for society.

I'm saying if we make unexamined assumptions about who's "fit for society" it's easy to sacrifice non-normative people on the alter of social harmony.

What is viewed as requiring rehabilitation can reflect neuroses endemic to the broader cultural context, not merely or necessarily the dysfunction of the institutionalized individual. It's a two-way mirror.
I've seen suggested before that third-party tracking is used to validate results and prevent self-dealing and fraud.

When your primary function is counting things, trusting the tallymen is critical. Multiple independent counts addresses this.

How true this is I don't know.

Dispensing with the counting avoids this need.

We also had the Mk.500 Evader and AMaRV programs, nuclear-armed SLBM and ICBM ballistic missile warheads designed specifically to evade missile defenses with nuclear warheads.

We didn't produce them because they weren't needed at that time against their near-term target sets, not because they didn't work.

I imagine it can be very useful if you want to debug and fix a problem in a contained area of the code where it can take a significant effort to get the program in a state which can trigger the bug, but once in that state it's easy to trigger repeatedly.

Say you have to load a lot of data, but once loaded you can trigger the issue by just hitting a button.

With hot code reloading you could incrementally add debugging code and try your fix, without having to restart the program and wait for the data to reload each time.

Their logic is known though, and it's simply to deliver nukes in the face of American ballistic missile defence (BMD) systems. The US doesn't face any BMD to defeat, so they just want hypersonics because the others have them. And with the heating mentioned in the text being such that you can't put any good sensing into them, a hypersonic without a nuke is simply a very fast missile that almost always misses its target.
And, increasingly, their own banking and internet routing infrastructure as well.

This article sounds like "sour grapes".

Keeps comparing hypersonic missiles to ballistic. Concluding there is no benefit. But what about cruise missiles and air launched long range missiles?

Also assumes that all hypersonic weapons will use rocket engines. But that is exactly why interest is back, there are now air-breathing jets that power hypersonic missiles. Meaning range, maneuverability, size improve compared to rockets.

And US is way behind in this.
That's an issue affects all muslims in those countries and many non-muslims who may appear that way.

Islam does have a huge internal debate over which branch is correct that has never been settled. To not accept this group of people is unique in Islamic countries because they have been using this as a weapon against minorities by creating separate laws. By extending to other muslims this is more about trying to make them lower members of society with less rights and an excuse for mistreatment without breaking religious morals. You are allowed to do things to non muslims that wouldn't be acceptable to a muslims.
That answers the question of how China benefits from a hypersonic missile program. It doesn't answer the question of how the US does. The US doesn't need to hold American aircraft carriers operating in East Asia at risk.
In this context any usage of `unsafe` in Rust is probably irrelevant to the safety of the resulting program, because AFAIK the WASM sandbox doesn't trust programs enough to actually allow them to do anything that could potentially violate memory safety.

For some time now, in the default configuration, `brew upgrade` is run automatically any time you run `brew install`. You have to set HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE to disable this behavior.

EDIT: whoops, that was incorrect. It's actually `brew update` that is run automatically, which updates Homebrew itself plus all of its formulae. However, I think often the effect can't be similar. If formulae are updated, and the new package you're trying to install shares a dependency with other packages, the dependency will be automatically updated as part of the install process. I'm not sure if this can also trigger an update of an existing leaf package though.
I'm not familiar with Homebrew.

Is it the kind of thing I could use to manage packages in my own directory as a non-root user (on Linux)?

If so, will it be able to base itself on what my distribution offers, or will it build things up from scratch with its own toolchain packages?
Hope you enjoy it.
Speaking of crosses, someone should cross Factorio and Stardew Valley. All the time I played the latter, I dreamt of being able to automate the farm.

DSP is decent/good. Still in development so the tech tree needs fleshed out somewhat still. The basic resources are there and the production flow is generally similar.

One thing that I personally don't like compared to Factorio are the basics of the logistics system to begin with.

DSP's belts are single lane, which can really limit their throughput and utility. So you can't run a combined belt of both coal and ore to your smelting array.

The inserter-alike that pushes/pulls to/from belts must start or end the belt, which back to our smelting array example means you can't trickle a single belt past a line of smelters you have to hit a splitter first (which is another level of research above belts) and build some real spaghetti monsters to scale your industry. On the upside, storage warehouses are 3x3 so you can use those as impromptu splitters as well as a buffer, at least.

The inserter-alike also has a transfer rate dependent upon the distance it covers (think normal vs long inserter throughput) and I have had trouble getting them to consistently snap to the closest belt segment, instead going one further and halving their transfer speed. Which has been maddening.

That said, I do like the 'Planetary Annihilation' style, that is the spheroid planets and solar systems to explore, and I haven't built beyond my first planet yet.

Another plus, your character starts with the equivalent to personal construction drones which was something I always beeline for in a new game of Factorio, its a nice quality of life thing.
Thanks a lot for the offer but I think I'm going to decline for now. It's nothing personal or even related to your comment service specifically.

For the sake of transparency here's the questions going through my mind and how I arrived at this decision based on using the free version of Disqus:

- A lot of people have a Disqus account and having a low barrier of entry to comment is important. When most folks don't need to create an account, that's kind of nice.

- Disqus has been around for a really long time and has handled billions of comments. This gives me confidence the service isn't going to be down for maintenance regularly, or just break one day.

- Disqus has a pretty good spam filter due to having so much volume. I would rather not be bothered by having to do manual spam moderation regularly and if I hooked up a 3rd party service to do that I would end up either having to pay for that, or you're still allowing another company to profit from your data.

- Disqus makes it pretty easy to moderate comments. You get notified of a new comment by email, click it, and then hit a drop down and figure out how you want to moderate it.

- Most developers are using some form of ad-blocker so Disqus' invasive ads are stopped. Although Disqus can still read the contents of the comments and profit from them in other ways (improve services around paid offerings, maybe selling the data to other companies doing ML around written text, etc.).

To be fair this is also why I haven't picked any semi-popular open source self hosted comment solutions. I wouldn't mind self hosting it alongside my blog on a $5 / month DigitalOcean server, but all of my objections apply to this as well. And now there's also the added risk of the code having security vulnerabilities that could potentially expose my server or even worse leak personal data from the people who have commented, such as their email address.

I could write the code myself which I've thought about for a while too, but the spam problem is still there. There's also allocating all of the time necessary to implement such a thing in a production ready way. When really all I want to do is create new blog posts / videos and have a way for folks to contribute to the conversation in a persisted way.
Lesson learned. I recently referenced a George Carlin quip and got a diatribe about statistics. Thanks again.
For some users I would argue brew was indeed better - I can't judge for the technical level, but definitely so for the UX and troubleshooting.

I might have liked MacPorts with my current experience, but when I first needed to install CLIs and tools I did not have extensive knowledge of shells and paths and such, and MacPorts felt significantly less "integrated" especially when something would fail (as opposed to brew occasionally just asking if you want to overwrite symlinks essentially).

I'll never know if MacPorts was better once you're past the initial hurdles since I'm so used to brew these days, and I believe that sort of experience is probably not isolated. Given the propensity for Mac users to want something that just kinda works and gets details out of the way, I can see why brew succeeded.

But you have to make your story believable. I worked for a company where the CEO loved to tell 'inspiring' stories about the companies future riches glory. The problem was that his stories felt so outlandish ("We'll be bigger than Microsoft" etc.) that everybody basically wrote him off a delusional and ignored everything he said.
Retail investors have no business investing in an SPAC. If you’re not doing your due diligence, you should stick to VOO. There’s plenty of options for people who don’t want to take risks.
The drag argument is that ballistic missiles spend a fair amount of time above the atmosphere, and that hypersonic missiles don't. Such that in the end, the ballistic missiles get there faster.

The article, though, doesn't mention that the arc trajectory of ballistic missiles means they are spotted faster: https://www.economist.com/sites/default/files/images/print-e...

So if the principals involved in a startup set up their own SPAC to take the company public, they could screw minority shareholders in the original company like, say, employees?
Hypersonic missiles are faster than cruise missiles but slower than ballistic missiles and confusing the two is a common mistake in the popular press when talking about how fast hypersonic missiles are.
Elon Musk’s Ex-Chief Engineer Creates a New Car–and Says It Beats Tesla
About 11 years ago I moved over to then OS X and Homebrew was very new compared to MacPorts at the time. I started with the more established MacPorts, but quickly became frustrated with how many broken and outdated packages were hosted on MacPorts. So I moved over to Homebrew and haven't looked back.

This is not to say that Homebrew is perfect; there's lots of big and little things I'd change. But I'd argue that at least at the inflection point of its introduction, Homebrew definitely solved a problem I was having with its competition. Timing helped for sure, but in my experience it won on technical merits.
We're not sure, we'll find out if it meets our high expectations :)

Current CFR is closer to 3% globally not 0.3% (I don't know how people get this number consistently wrong -- it's on the first page of any CoVID tracking website). A reminder that 3% of the world population is more than 150 million people (and the CFR goes up if hospitals are overrun -- which we saw several times last year).

Most people have some kind of underlying health condition (more than two-thirds of the western world are overweight or obese -- that's already one co-morbidity), so it's not surprising that most people who die from CoVID have other health conditions. And this is ignoring the more obvious problem that even otherwise perfectly healthy people can infect family and friends.
I agree with the general sentiment, but there are other, similar tools that also function fine as duct-tape over the missing pieces in MacOS (i.e., MacPorts).
The first edition is probably the book with the highest mind-expanding content to page ratio I have ever read.
This article ignores the primary use case for China and Russia: US carrier battle groups. In this roll, these missiles target the human element in the defensive systems by reducing the the time from detection to impact below human response capability. Humans monitor sensors, make decisions, and activate active defense systems. Until these systems are fully automated, hypersonic missiles are a huge advantage for China.
Agree, that lock-in is rough. That said, it’s just now possible to co-exist or even shift gradually among all three of Microsoft, Google, and now Apple, managing web creds without a third party tool.

Although it just got pulled, the just-prior iCloud for Windows supported Apple Keychain password sync, allowing a different GAFAM to manage your creds. There is a Chrome extension as well.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/2/22263118/apple-icloud-wind...

After it’s back, then a reasonably frictionless way to migrate from one of these to another would be to run them side by side for a quarter, using the old to supply the cred while accepting the prompt to remember it on the new.

As long as you can still access the old cred store some way, you’ll have most useful creds in order, and only have to look up an old one when accessing something you never use.

Thanks! It does explain why the stock price is low.

I do have some problems with 23andme (and I've sent Anne a few emails about things over the years about a few simple things that they still haven't corrected, which is a bit worrisome), but that being said, who else comes close to doing what they do?

I invested a lot in FitBit (lost a lot), but also Garmin and AAPL and MSFT (I just liked the wearable sector).

Similarly, I'd like to do a similar play in consumer genomics. Just bought some 23andMe (via the SPAC, not sure if I did it right), but what else is out there? I liked uBiome but not sure what is happening there. Ancestry.com I should probably look into, what else? Oxford Nanopore would be great (are they public?).

23andme is great because of the network effects. If someone comes out with better sequencing tech, they still have a huge distribution problem, which 23andme has solved (if they don't blow the trust of their users).

Anyway, I'm long.
It is a great strategy. One of my favorite examples of this is Rust. When talking about what synatax "await" should use, we decided on a postfix syntax: "foo.await" . But there was concern that because JavaScript and other languages use "await foo", it would be confusing.

Solution?

async fn foo() {

}

fn main() {
let x = async { await foo() };
}

error: incorrect use of `await`
--> src/main.rs:6:13
|
6 | let x = async { await foo() };
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ help: `await` is a postfix operation: `foo().await`

Do exactly that: parse the incorrect form and emit a good diagnostic.

Well I don't mean Linuxy in the architecture sense but Linuxy in the preparation and final stage installation sense. Like Homebrew does not need elevated privileges to work and actively discourages it. MacPorts, when something breaks, is a rabbit hole of elevated commands to bring it back to functional.

Of course this is my opinion as I had Macports and Homebrew installed on my MBP 2012. I've swapped to a newer MBP and I only have HB installed. Since most packages are on HB I no longer need to have both installed.

They aren't designed to go faster than ballistic missiles, they are designed to go faster than cruise missiles, and just overall very fast for something moving in the atmosphere. On a space scale they aren't very fast, about a sixth of LEO orbital velocity.

> This means that all users on the system share the same MacPorts software. This has an additional impact that it means that it requires privilege to install software there.

> Homebrew, on the other hand, uses the system toolchain and tries to avoid using root.

What? Homebrew wants you to change ownership of /usr/local to your individual user and refuses to run without doing so. How is that any different as far "as all users on the system share the same software?"
