As a fellow Rust learner-and-user, I felt lots of points in the article are spot on.

I recently wrote a custom HTTP framework in Rust and had spent 2 weeks to figure out how to store a collection of async closure so I can call any of them later. The idea / goal was very clear, but it was so hard for me to figure out how to implement it in the language.

Maybe I'm not smart enough for Rust, but I've already used Rust for more than 1 year, and still struggled to use it. I don't know if I should switch to a different language, e.g. Golang.
A major missing detail is accounting for the other phase conductors in the transmission line. They will tend to cancel the field, and the ability of this scheme to work will depend on getting the coil to collect much more flux from one phase than the other two.

Real devices based on this principle exist: current transformers, Rogowski coils, and lights! The latter looks like this:

And, hilariously, the FAQ informs us that the light contains a “flux capacitor”.

I don’t know if this a serious comment or not but there have been photos of the earth from space available for decades. These photos show a globe, not a plane. Unless the flat earther can show a photo of a flat earth from space, they have been refuted.
> Of course, you'll get the same answer either way - the earth moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun and contributes a tiny amount of the total inertia of the system.

That was my point. Saying "the earth moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun" is not compatible with what you wrote previously, "both of these are equally right," when one of the statements in question is that the Sun and planets move in orbits around the Earth.

This part of the Wikipedia quote underscores this:

> Relativity agrees with Newtonian predictions that regardless of whether the Sun or the Earth are chosen arbitrarily as the center of the coordinate system describing the Solar System, the paths of the planets form (roughly) ellipses with respect to the Sun, not the Earth.

The quote you provided describes the same distinction I was making: there is a predictive equivalence between a geocentric and heliocentric model, i.e. either coordinate system can give the correct results; but, the two models do not provide equivalent explanatory power.

For example, in the geocentric model, you have to explain why planets undergo both prograde and retrograde motion. If you're trying to go beyond simple prediction to understand what's happening, you need an interpretation of the model, beyond just treating it as a black box that spits out predictions.

The only correct interpretation of the model is the one in the two quotes above.

To bring this back to the original discussion, it seems extremely likely that e.g. the Copenhagen interpretation is much like the geocentric one - its notion of "collapse" is almost certainly something due to our perspective as macroscopic quantum objects interacting with microscopic quantum objects, much as prograde and retrograde motion are a result of our geocentric perspective. Even though one can make correct predictions under Copenhagen, it may be a red herring from an explanatory perspective.
Maybe I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were asking about the risks of regular people being able to gain NSA-like abilities if NSA tools manage to fall into their hands. I think that's not a huge risk, beyond zero-days.

However, yes, a very dedicated, very smart group of blackhat hackers could probably achieve somewhat similar things as an intelligence agency's hacking division. You don't necessarily have to be a government to be an APT.

There are still other advantages, though. For one, at NSA, you can do anything you want with legal impunity, while a blackhat might be imprisoned for doing the exact same thing. Also, you have access to a huge organization and various things they've already embedded themselves into, like backdoors and internet traffic taps.

So, they do have an inherent advantage, even if the people involved aren't necessarily inherently better hackers. (Though they may be, if they're better at hiring than you are at recruiting for your private organization.) Given enough time and effort, a private group could maybe also embed themselves in a lot of places, but they're all at the mercy of their governments and allied governments, and may constantly risk arrest.

In terms of this particular incident, I believe it absolutely could be either a government or a private whitehat/greyhat/blackhat individual or group.
When I used to run regularly, running in the late-fall/winter in even relatively mild Northern Virginia would make me feel this way (anything under about 8C was painful and on dry days up to 12 was mildly uncomfortable; many of my friends loved run in 12C as they didn't overheat, but my lungs were just unhappy).
It's funny the comments growth, will this one beat the 122?!

Times are changing. You can get 32-bit MCUs for under $0.30. This will continue to fall as fabs used for MCUs are 15 years behind the high end stuff, so they have at least that much more Moore's law in them.

You can say that 8-bit ones are always going to be cheaper (you can get some for under $0.03 now) but at some point packaging not silicon costs will dominate. Also programmer productivity is very often worth more than a few cents of BOM cost, which is why we are seeing HLL languages used more often in embedded space even in production settings.

As a side note, the NRF52 listed in article have a 32 bit config register per pin (granted the pin direction is separately mapped as 32 bit word per port).

Israeli 5-minute battery charge aims to fire up electric cars
There was amazing amount of fear and ass covering after the accident.

NASA engineers gave information about O-ring only to Sally Ride (a member of Rogers commission). Sally Ride then gave the information to her friend General Donald Kutyna (an another member of Rogers commission) who she trusted to not to implicate her or the engineers. Then Kutyna found way to inform Feynman so that Feynman could "discover it independently" without the risk of revealing the real source.
> the underlying concern seems to be that this is still not a safe plane

The takeaway here is that the FAA is dysfunctional, so any plane certified by them in recent years is potentially unsafe.

The FAA has to demonstrate how they fixed their process, then re-certify every plane tested under the old, broken, process.

One plane model being obviously defective is just a symptom.
> I don't know of any woman has ever been denied entry to woman's sport because she has too much muscular development. Think of the Williams sisters in tennis for example.

Sorry, I shouldn't have used a bad hypothetical about muscles and should have just explicitly said "intersex people". Regardless, here's a page that documents examples of what I mean, including in high-profile events like the Olympics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports

I would like to especially draw attention to this case:

> In 1986, Spanish hurdler Maria José Martínez-Patiño was dismissed and publicly shamed after failing a chromosomal test. She fought the ruling against her, arguing that she could not have a competitive advantage because her intersex variation resulted in her having no functional testosterone. Two years later, the IAAF gave Martínez-Patiño the green light to compete again.

Note how although she has traits unambiguously associated with the male biological sex, she was still allowed to compete as a women, and as a matter of fact the argument she made was that those traits did not give her an advantage.

The point I am trying to make is that the lines in sports are not as cleanly drawn between "men" and "women" as commonly assumed. There are people who are almost universally accepted as cis women banned from women's sports for reasons similar to arguments made about trans athletes. Humans just generally do not fit easily into binary categories when looked at as a whole.

EDIT: Actually, I think this page makes my point even cleaner, without the associated baggage of "well intersex people are partially men":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperandrogenism

> In 2011 the International Association of Athletics Federations (now World Athletics), and IOC released statements restricting the eligibility of female athletes with high testosterone, whether through hyperandrogenism, or as a result of a disorder of sex development (DSD).

These people are unambiguously women, both by gender and biological sex, and are excluded from women's sports.

</EDIT>

> As for being insensitive to call someone a "man", i think you're conflating gender and biological sex.

That is basically exactly my point. I understand, at this point, that you are referring to biological sex. However, the word "man" can refer to either, and _usually_ refers to gender. Therefore, using the term with no clarification can easily accidentally mislead people into thinking you intend the opposite interpretation that you do. It's not a big deal, but it's worth avoiding in my opinion.

> You need a good way to tell that you're on target. The way to do that is to use the vision system only as a search radar, to find that there's something to shoot at and approximately where it is. Then point the laser near the target, at low power, and start scanning around the target. Modulate the outgoing beam, so you can see when it's illuminating something. Get range from time of flight. When you find something worth shooting, go to high power and take it out.

Not only more effective, but i imagine it would be easy to misdetect someone's iris as a fly D:

With a proper lens I think it just might work. You need to get huge focal length to make those pixels work. Then you need illumination because with those focal length it will be really dim. Then you need to scan the area because your FOV is tiny (but at least you'll get something like 90FPS @VGA res which is enough for AI) so you should be able to see those mosquitoes shining in the air like dust particles in sunlight coming from the window.

But then using a laser just insane - anything that has enough energy to down a mosquito will have enough energy to blind someone unfortunate to see the laser or its reflection. I'd go with power LED and some focusing with very narrow focal depth. maybe a lens moved like in optical drives, maybe a MEMS reflector like are used in projectors (but instead of spreading all pixels to cast a projection focusing it in a single point?
but the website is outrageously slow.
1. Bitcoin is not a store of security, it's a highly volatile market that most experts agree is going to crash soon. Even if it doesn't, that's still a clear gamble, not "security". (Nor, in financial terms, is it a "security", as no regulator treats it as such)

2. Our infrastructure is only equipped to produce a finite amount of energy plus emergency output, and much of that emergency output is fossil-fuel-based. Even building new "green" plants has a high amount of carbon output due to concrete production. Energy is a zero sum game until we master fusion, and Bitcoin is the least efficient allocation of that resource.

3) Yes, it is, because the government also already regulates how much energy can be used in appliances or businesses. More broadly, it is literally the government's job to step in when a behavior is, at scale, creating a significant negative drain on society's resources for no tangible benefit.

While I get this argument, it does leave out some details that might not make the value calculation as cut and dry. One, sure, your particular charity might be able to spend more on actual charity by increasing marketing, but what is the opportunity cost? If there is a person who donates $100 after you spend $60 convincing them to donate to you, it might seem like that is a good use of the $60... you have $40 extra!

As a business, that calculation is certainly correct. But as a charity, you have to think about what the donor would have done otherwise... maybe your $60 in marketing actually just caused the person to switch their $100 donation from some other charity to yours. Now instead of charity B getting $100, charity A only gets $40 after expenses.

Even worse, you can start an arms race. Now charity B has to spend marketing money to try to win back the donor who switched their donation to charity A, and now they spend $70 to get them to switch back (still worth it from charity B’s perspective, $30 in gain)... now we have two charities spending $130 for $100 in donations.

There is always an opportunity cost.

Very much agree it's subjective and probably a fool's errand to attempt such a list. However, THPS2 and Jet Set Radio had similar positive reviews to Deus Ex, Thief, and other games of that year. They also broke new ground in their own way. Jet Set being one of the first cel shaded games and Tony Hawk 2 being visually stunning for the time with amazing controls. Sometimes being a top game of the year isn't about technical innovation or defining a genre though. Sometimes it's just about being a really fun game a lot of people loved.

> Just like Wikipedia and the internet didn’t change everyone’s ability to know things in any meaningful way

What are you talking about? Wikipedia substantially changed everyone's ability to know things.

In fact, Wikipedia was so good at increasing everyone's ability to know things, I wonder if we're now having to build back a way to synthesize and ponder our desired context for all those things. That problem may be exaggerated due to unregulated app casinos sucking out any surplus time to reflect and wonder, but I think the problem is definitely there either way.

> buying an uninhabitable toxic dump is actually cheaper

Considering I'm in the bay area, land alone is actually expensive here so that doesn't really work. Is there any way to buy this unhabitable dump in a remote area and have the mail picked up and delivered to me? Are there any businesses doing this?
That’s not amazing to me. This is how many/most people behave when confronted with real consequences.
A LIDAR is not the right solution. A LIDAR misses most of the space a few meters away, and even if by chance the beam passes right over a mosquito, it will be filtered out by the built-in denoising algorithms.

Seller can see the potential if others (with different/more experience) are brought on board to implement new ideas and generate more revenue.

Option A: Retain 100%, and profit $500K over 2 years

Option B: Retain 20%, take $100K of profits, but create an opportunity for uplifting the revenue potential.

Seller took Option B, and now owns 20% of a business generating $1M+ each year (so his share is now $200k revenue), with more time on his hands.

I had the exact same experience it was absolutely disgusting. I attracted all flies from the neighborhood.

I also tried once with an insecticide which also contained a bait, it came in granules and you had to mix with water and spray all over. The floor of my outdoors where full of dead flies.

Best advice I can give: never use any kind of bait. That’s completely BS, you are never going to kill them all. You want flies to go to another place, keep things clean.

Flies hate wind, use fans.

I think the slides are great, I've just learned something new and I got interested on knowing more about Alexander's work. Also, I've got that the point is that we need to take a fresh look at Alexander.

But one thing I never really understood is the criticism on Design Patterns as being workarounds for languages weaknesses. Of course you have languages at different levels of sophistication, and there's nothing wrong on pointing out that pattern X isn't needed on language Y since it already natively provides a proper solution, but what demerit would there be in using the pattern on a language which doesnt provide a good solution by design?

Besides, GOF even speculate that some patterns could eventually become part of future languages, so I dont know, even if patterns can really be taken as "workarounds", it seems to me that it's everything much more about a gradual, natural evolution towards better languages.
This is interesting to me. So would video sites be be a good candidate? High hosting bills leading to low profit margins leading to low valuations. How much can you realistically cut them by?
Interestingly enough it seems that Apple's proprietary video connectors date back to the Macintosh II in 1987, the same year that IBM came out with the PS/2 and VGA. So the Apple Macintosh Video 15-pin connection and VGA basically came out at the same time.

I'm also reading that the Centris line had its own HDI-45 connector and cables that combined video in/out, audio in/out, and ADB (keyboard/mouse) in one cable/connector. More Jobs-like single-cable design (well except for power) even in the non-Jobs era.

Interestingly SCART includes audio as well as video but doesn't seem to have caught on in the US. Sony's PlayStation AV connectors/cables also handle audio and video, typically with hydra cables that have separate connectors for different signals.

1) Eth2 has been "coming soon" for a long time, so it will never happen. (Yes progress has been slow, but it's happening, with phase 0 live now.)

2a) In PoS, the rich get richer. (Not true in a meaningful sense. Staking rewards are neutral with respect to economic inequality, since everyone has access to the same rate of return.)

2b) PoS is a social issue. Climate change is also a social issue. Therefore, a PoS is a climate issue. (This is a converse error.)
