Does Germany not have an army? It's one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

They can definitely show down the borders any time they want. See this from a year ago: https://www.gov.si/en/news/2020-03-20-germany-limits-the-num...

> and much more traffic due to lower cost and easier access

The traffic only exists while there is a high chance that people can cross the border. Close the borders for everything but cargo, and there will be much less traffic.

People will make up all sorts of excuses, but in fact anything is possible if you take the risk seriously enough.

I mean if COVID killed everyone it infected instantly and turned them into zombies, how soon would you see every way into Germany guarded?

We’re talking about taking in React code and compiling it to iOS native UI plus the bridge between native APIs and JavaScript.

Obviously to get there you first need to get all the iOS UI kit into Pascal. Then also a compiler from Pascal to iOS binaries.

Atlantic Canada took a similar approach, and has managed to keep the spread under relative control. While there are periodic outbreaks, numbers are low compared to the national numbers. An "island mentality" may be playing a role since the only land connections are with the U.S. and Quebec, both of which were hit particularly hard early in the pandemic.

Nothing unlawful, fraudulent, nor shady happened here.

But something very risky happened, and the people on the downside of that risk are not in good positions to weather the downside.

Whether that is deserving of regulation is a separate issue, but people set themselves up for a disaster on the basis that the downside would not hit them. Pow! Now they are in a world of hurt.
Bear in mind what we have here is an example of the cutting edge of AI in its real world use. It doesn't exactly inspire faith in AI if some of the best is this thick when it comes to making decisions that would be incredibly basic for a human of even below average intelligence.

Agree on the design concerns that other people have raised... I'm also a little concerned that you seem to only have one calendar with relatively few events on it as your example. Weekly views with 5+ distinct calendars on them get unusable pretty fast (and often the same event showing up on several of the calendars) so make sure you have a decent solution for that if you're planning to market this as a "family" calendar.
I'm the opposite. I was always a nervous flyer until I joined Boeing designing flight critical systems. Knowing how the airplanes are engineered gave me a lot of confidence in flying.
It's just idealism, but no ideology suits everyone and for every context. People forget this.
Richard Rhodes in his two-volume work on A-Bomb and H-Bomb development talks a lot about MAD and how it led to rational but awful thinking. In the absence of better choices, the planners did what they thought was best, but both sides came to realise the only suitable posture was to be capable of retaliation and make sure the other side knew it, but also to minimise belief there was specific hostile intent.

Politicians didn't like it. the US never renounced first strike.

I still struggle with how "hard" a hardened C&C jet can be, and I think there is a general principle, that the EMP pulse you can defend against is not as big as the one the enemy can produce.

I read that defector provided soviet jets at one point had tiny weeny valves, which were not indications of how backward their electrical engineering was: they were capable of being rad-hardened more than the IC's of the time. I'm not sure this is true.

It's worth copying and pasting the quote used on Wikipedia, because it actually espouses a very strong view that I think many Americans, even moderate ones, might find surprising:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal ...

"I'm not following."

I agree.

The "alternative OS" is the OS that Apple used for its AirPort Extreme router, and which it borrows heavily from for the MacOs userland. Apple writes some software itself, but it also takes a significant amount of source code straight from "alternative OS" projects. To be clear, the OS projects I am referring to are not Linux nor is the computer that is the subject of this thread a "$2K laptop".
I think groups of people are conscious in a sense. When I say conscious I'll use a definition where consciousness is the behavior of a physical system that is:

* directional/goal oriented

* exhibits higher order patterns / behaviors which are greater than the sum of its parts.

A riot would probably be the easiest example to start with. You get a group of mildly angry people together and they can become enraged and do things they wouldn't normally do. Not only that, the anger of the group can rise and fall together. It's like people synchronize with each other and the riot becomes this living agent of chaos. Basically a human is a higher order pattern on top of cells and biochemistry while a group of people can exhibit higher order patterns like a riot.

When you get to the nation state level you can see higher order patterns as well. For example the BLM protests. A single even triggered this burst of goal
-oriented activity among millions of disparate individuals like a wildfire. Or it's like the country, not just the people in the country but the country itself, became enraged.

And I'm not just talking about protests and riots that's just an example. If you look at history, there are lots of other examples of collective, higher-order, goal-oriented activity at the nation state level. Groups building cities or opening up areas to farming or setting up trade networks or going to war. Sometimes these actions are based on the will of one person like a king but other times they are the result of thousands of individuals coordinating autonomously.
No, we get 404s from broken forward links, either because the target went away, or because of a typo in the link.

I can link to any page I like without having to talk to or get permission from anyone at all. While the person who manages the target of that link can decide on their own how to respond when the link is dereferenced.

Allowing this to happen, and making 404 perfectly acceptable was, in retrospect, an excellent idea.
Funnily enough I was searching about for info on B772 single engine range and found this anecdote that contradicts you.

>Just as a practical example of reduced range with an engine out, We departed Santiago, Chile in a 747 freighter with enough fuel to reach Miami. During the climb out we lost an engine. We elected to continue rather than dump fuel and return. However, because we could not reach our intended cruising altitude, the increased fuel burn meant we only had enough fuel to reach Panama City, Panama

This is actually my entire point. It's a principle broken on many occasions, but nobody walks around saying "Oh, we shouldn't even TALK about not killing — that's IGNORANT — because there are so many exceptions where it's okay to kill people."

You can still guide around important principles, even if reality imposes exceptions!
Finland is certainly not an island. Their government have even problems imposing mandatory tests on borders due to constitutional restrictions. There is practically uncontrolled traffic from Sweden and indeed a lot more controlled traffic from Russia. They have also regular ferry traffic from Estonia.

Sweden is right between Finland and Norway. Sweden has 1,247 deaths per million, Finland 131 and Norway 111.

> A. monitoring the wholesale price B. switching off my main breaker the moment the price went above $X.

A was meant to be done by "smart" meters but they forgot to package it in a way which let us do demand reduction, or even be told. It was packaged to the suppliers benefit, not the consumer (here in OZ)

B you do know, this carries risks? Sure, not enormous ones, but frequent interruption of supply is not inherently safer than turning things off at the wall, nicely. CBs are good, but everything mechanical has a lifetime. The more you use it, the shorter it is, sometimes. Especially for mechanical things, when they're physically cold.
Personally I couldn’t care less about all those scores. Why should they mean anything to me ? I’ve been on all the same websites as you for years, when I can contribute I do it. When I find a good answer or topic that unstuck me or help me I’m glad. Beyond that it’s noise that I choose to ignore. I chose that online reputation will not have any importance for me and I value this. I don’t want people to « know » me neither companies beyond that’s necessary.
My value is not defined by those systems and those virtual points and the idea of chasing them makes me uncomfortable. I used to do all that but like any game, it’s almost pointless and a waste of time in the end so for me I choose not to play, even if I’m « no one » or « invisible ». That’s ok

According to the designer of the Texas system, the incentive was to have extra capacity in order to capitalize on any transient spike in wholesale electricity prices. That obviously didn’t happen. Nor did power plant operators take less expensive steps in order to ensure that their existing equipment was operating during such circumstances in order to capitalize on the price rises. Instead they didn’t spend the money to winterize or have extra production, and Texans suffered for it.

And before the whole “who could have predicted this once in a century storm”, this exact issue came up in 2011, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee produced a huge report warning about all of the things that ended up knocking the grid offline this year.
Counterpoint: you seem to have accidentally strawmanned the opposing argument into a situation where the worst outcome is polite disagreement where you still can "become friends". I'd like to hear your opinions on my steelmanned version of the hypothetical:

You meet somebody that is adamantly homophobic. They use their speech to rally others and take political action against gay people. They make same-sex marriage illegal (or block it from becoming legal). Maybe, they're extra successful, and can even manage to make gay sex or just being gay illegal, forcing you to pretend to be straight.

Oh, this person also is your boss. They know you're gay, and they fire you from your job in the height of a pandemic where people are already having trouble finding work. When you get home, you find out their friend is your landlord and you're being evicted from your apartment in 30 days.

Admittedly, this is somewhat of an extreme example, at least in my country in modern times, but go back 100 years and this is close to reality - and there's no strong evidence I'm aware of that suggests progress in these types of social justice causes can only be made forwards.

This works for developers but excludes large swathes of other stakeholders, some with huge amounts of business/process knowledge. MediaWiki supports WYSIWYG via VisualEditor, which increases usage from others (and has the benefit of making tables much more pleasant to work with).
It was artificial in that the Public Utility Commission forced the price up to force more non-retail load to be shed by wholesale customers (think fabrication and industry).

Nobody sane is arguing for conditional carbon pricing (although obviously some will say that carbon pricing should be accompanied by e.g. an explicit transport subsidy for poor people), the "argument" is that while we absolutely should do it, nobody is able to get it passed into law - so while it's the best solution, we can't wait for it and we need to focus on other solutions in the mean time.

Aus and NZ respect individual freedom as long as it does impinge on the safety of others. It is a continuum. You can't drink and drive in the US. So, there is an example of safety over individual liberty. So, it's not like the US values individual liberty over safety all the time. AUS and NZ (and Taiwan and Japan and SK) chose to be on a different end of the continuum (and looks like were validated based on the outcomes)

Compare to "Don't worry, everything will be fine", I found this calms me down better. Because it keeps me occupied on verifying the claim rather than allowing me wonder about what "fine" was actually meat.

But again, we don't actually know why "many adults were screaming" there, maybe they've already figured it out, and they are screaming because they don't want to go someplace else :-D
This reminds me of my last job. There were some instances where two teams would work on the same feature. The team leads and devs would regularly get together to make sure that we were on the same page in terms of who was developing what and what the specifics of the design were. It worked well.

However, management would sometimes feel the need to bring in a developer from neither team who was supposed to facilitate development, I believe to cut down on meetings (because developer meetings that weren't standups, retros, or refinements were bad, apparently). What ended up happening is that this dev would have a meeting with Team A, get the details about the project, then go to Team B and talk about the implementation. Team B would have another idea for how the development should go, so the median dev would agree that the plans would change. That dev would not write down any of the details, let alone communicate back to Team A about Team B's changes. It caused a lot of unnecessary friction and wasted time. Management pretended like this wasn't something that could be avoided.

So long story short (and also to your point): communicating once isn't enough, but not communicating at all is unacceptable
> Imo, if it’s not written down, shared with me, and told how important it is, then it’s your fault.

This is no opinion. It's spot on truth. Human Comms Rule #1 - The clarity of the communication is the responsibility of the sender, not the receiver.

The last company I worked at, had a weekly Friday team meeting where major announcements were most often made. More than once, I took a Fri PTO - often prior to a Monday holiday - and never did anyone say "You missed important X and Y on Friday." Instead it would come up later with an air of being common knowledge. Maybe it was, but not to me.

I got tired of the amateur approach to comms and eventually left.
