You know what makes most sites slow? Ads and tracking.

You know what the biggest ads and tracking provider is on the internet? Google DFP and Google Analytics.

AMP is a solution to a problem of their own making, a clever solution that gives them even more control over search results and data collection (since it never leaves Google domains) while pressuring publishers to spend limited dev resources on a limited subset of viewers while making no impact on the existing website and apps they also run.

There's nothing good about AMP beyond technical experimentation. If incentives are a problem, then fix the incentives.

There are a couple of possibilities here, given that we're talking costly and critical satellite links.

1. You set up a private PKI using a private CA. AWS will sell you one for $400/month. Install the public root in the trust stores of the clients and then issue 5 year private certs for either IP addresses, or for .local and use DNS-SD.

2. You create a private domain at private.example.com. You get letsencrypt to issue a wildcard for .private.example.com. Then you set up private DNS for that zone. Server cert needs to be updated every 90 days. That involves downloading a single PEM file from your internal network.

"The new arrivals have forced many Black residents to move out of the city: In 2000, about 10 percent of the Austin’s 656,000 residents were Black. By 2017, that percentage had dropped to around 7.5"

Well, article definitely commits a statistical fallacy there. Austin is one of the fastest growing cities, especially from 2000-2017 period. The fact that the percentage went down (from 9.5 to 7.5), while the city's population nearly tripled does not mean people were 'forced to move out'. In fact, it means that the black population nearly tripled while other races moved to the area in even greater numbers.
IIRC, I tried this method, but did not see any performance improvement. The method replaces a single `divq` instruction with a table lookup and several multiplications. On modern processors this is no longer a worthwhile trade off.
Venus is interesting in so many ways.

It did not, so far as we can tell, get blasted by a Mars-sized proto-planet like Earth did, which made the Moon and entirely re-melted Earth, so probably got a good head start on breeding life. But maybe Earth's plate tectonics came from that event, too.

AIUI, our Moon is also the reason we are not tidally -almost- locked to the sun, with a permanent equatorial 250 mph wind.

There don't _have_ to be "consequences".

You _can_ definitely use positive only training to teach an alternate behavior (e.g. recall or distance down) and proof it under progressively more difficult scenarios (distance/duration/distractions), backing up every time the dog makes a mistake. Until that command is such a strong habit that the dog will reliably do the behavior on cue. And in the meantime prevent the bad behavior (with a leash) to prevent ingraining the undesired behavior.

Not saying negative reinforcement _should_ not be used (it may be more effective, and may even be the difference between achieving or not achieving the desired behavior with the amount of effort any particular trainer can put in). Just that it's not as absolute as you say.

Few things annoy me more than this kind of destructive gentrification.
All the way down to "Cesar Chavez"
When places are full of white people, minorities are brought in in the name of diversity and it's to be celebrated. When places are full of minorities and whites move in, it's gentrification and we need to write articles lamenting it.

Cultural mixing happens both ways. Sometimes inclusion means changing long standing traditions.

To clarify, I am pretty sure they are talking about flybys by actual manned fighters.

But it's a fair point that shooting down an unmanned drone is a lot less aggressive than shooting down a manned one.

Of course, not starting a war with aliens that don't shoot seems wise.
Aren't they just a dozen Filipinos or Russians keeping the boat clean while the auto pilot makes a slight adjustment every few hours? I'm not sure how exciting it would be.

There is an asphalt factory 10 miles from where I live, on the access road to a major highway, and in the middle of lots of urban development. The factory has been around since the mid 80s.

There is a nearby new housing development with residents complaining about the air pollution (apparently it is really smelly) - and their response is "yeah, we've been here since before you were born, so whatev". It cracked me up.

I don't think they can afford to see every bird as a threat during a battle. That means they'll also see every piece of shrapnel as a threat. And every piece of outgoing large munitions. I got the impression that speed and direction of travel are common filters. So something that's slow, tiny, and changing direction a lot is legitimately going to be hard to distinguish from a lot of non-threatening things.

A covert operation using a drone with a big flashing light on it so that it can be identified?
This feels like a classic Sun Tzu “Art of War” technique. The objective is purely psychological.

First, begin with light incursions. Test the response. What does the United States do about a little annoyance? Nothing?

Next, wait a bit then increase the stimulus. What if we have multiple drones doing tricks. No response? Do they have guns to shoot these down?

Next, we add different types of drones. Some large enough to carry bombs. Others with scanners.

Next, they come in flocks of 40-50. Too many to shoot down.

Let’s be honest: China has drone superiority to America, probably by a lot. We have no idea.

We have been running incursions near Taiwan for years. This would be a natural response.

It can also be denied. That is the key point. If it were giant red drones with CCP emblems the United States press and public would get pissed off and a larger response would follow.

Little innocuous drones? Enough to get on your nerves, can be denied, threatening and menacing yet nothing to react to.

Classic Sun Tzu.

alas, these Austin locals did not learn the SF lesson, real estate lesson 101

As soon as foreigners invade your shores (er, real estate spaces) move to grandfather a cap property tax that is particularly beneficial for long time real property owners.

I understand that at first, this would do nothing to alleviate the attack on the local culture. The same foreigners would still call the cops.

Yet, with enough time, the latino locals would have been rich latino locals, from simply holding onto property, and renting it out to new arrival..s making a killing.

Then those rich latinos would have had some dollars to contribute to local pols. That could be a group happy to push on repeals of noise or public assembly ordinances.

Rinse,repeat.

You would have a full-fiesta by now. There goes the neighborhood!

Opportunity lost.
Yes, I have plans to add an editor code block component soon.
Countries close to the equator generally don't observe DST. Countries in the southern hemisphere observe DST on an opposite schedule.

You could make these decisions on all sorts of different levels. An individual business could change times for this, individual cities could have their own timezone, etc etc.

Similarly, you can have a country the size of a city with its own laws and borders and currency, or you can have giant countries like China or India or the U.S. They each have advantages.

On one hand, the law or the timezone or the currency could have characteristics special to a particular place, like say a 43 minute daylight savings time for a particular city. Having different timezones makes it slightly more optimized for a particular location, but makes it slightly less optimized for operating between locations. It's simpler to say "I'll call you at 9:00" if you're in the same timezone. If every person you called had a slightly different timezone, this would become a hassle.

Other types of coordination also become more difficult if everyone makes the summer switchover at different times. Suppose I need to have fresh bread delivered a half hour before my cafe opens in the morning. I open at 7:00 so I contract to have the bread delivered at 6:30 every morning. If I switch my opening time to 6:00 for the summer, now the bread has to come at 5:30. Maybe the bread driver already had someone he was delivering to at 5:30 though that doesn't want to change his opening hours until two weeks later. Now there's a problem to be solved. If everyone made up their own daylight savings time, the massive web of coordinated actions that constitutes society becomes much more complicated. If we simply all agree to start doing everything an hour earlier every day on the same day, the problem almost entirely disappears.

If you're interested in this type of tension, I highly recommend the book "Seeing Like a State."
I agree that it's not easy in the U.S. to get things done, but I see optimism as a prerequisite to getting things done, so I choose to be optimistic. For example, first it starts with fixing our healthcare system. Many of the countries who fared to work had awful healthcare systems to begin with.

In any case since I no longer live in the U.S., I don't really have much skin in the game anymore, so this stuff doesn't stress me out like it used to. So even though I may sound optimistic, I actually gave up enough to compel me to emigrate from the country. But I do see positive change happening in the U.S., just slower than in other countries.
That stood out to me too. I didn’t know the exact figures, but the peculiar wording of it felt like the author was trying to slip one by me.

> investors have unprecedented trust in global stability

That's one way to spin it. Another is "investors have unprecedented low trust in traditional investment tools". (If you have extra money laying around and no way to put it to productive use then you just might dump it all into bonds, because it's the default option and you don't have much in the way of alternative anyways.)

The rise of "bockchain" corroborates.
“ Turning to more industrialization seems like a cop-out instead of real (hard) solutions: change of consumption habits, organic farming, strong environmental laws and so on.”

This. I used to carry the view that going to a full industrial processes would eliminate the inefficiencies. It just ignores the core problem, we are no longer in coexistence.

This was happening at sea, and apparently at night. The parts probably would have been blown into the ocean and sank or floated away before anyone could find them.
The fact that the news media industry is heavily unionized seems indicative of a bias in itself. It means the members are more likely to take labor centric stances and be against free market stances - in other words, left leaning. Unions also often force institutional political stances on members (see NEA and teachers for example) - it’s an avenue by which a neutral institution can become ideologically compromised.

This is exactly what was reflected in the editorial work of Medium, such as their first party magazines. It turned off readers greatly, and the comments in this very post even call it out.
The laser was targeting rockets fired by a Soviet BM-21 truck-mounted multiple rocket launcher. The rockets are used like artillery, not for targeting drones. Presumably if the laser is able to destroy 40 incoming rockets then it would be able to destroy much larger numbers of relatively slow drones.

An important example of where debate and information can be foreclosed upon is that /r/detrans, a vital support community for detransitioners, has been temporarily banned in the past by overzealous admins, and the mods had to appeal and institute much stricter moderation than most subs have to be able to get it back up.

> Tangentially, a cool thing would be to unite ProseMirror with Automerge. That’d enable some killer collaborative editors.

Prosemirror already has collaboration baked into it and I have a very rough initial version of it working (see https://github.com/bangle-io/bangle.dev/tree/master/collab). My question for you is what benefit will using Automerge provide over the inbuilt collaboration API?
Good callout, but it's important not to fudge the numbers here. Using this source[0], it seems like the population doubled, not tripled, from 911K to 1.84M. If we use that 10% to 7.5% drop, the city's black residents went from 91K to 138k. Hardly tripled, in fact only a 50% increase compared to over 100% population size increase. So the comparative growth was half as fast. I'd still say thats notable to the article's cultural context, though it doesn't support the claim of people being forced out inherently.

None of these numbers will give information on who was forced out. You'll need migratory data for that.

Small quibble, without expressing opinion on the substance of your comment: you mean totalitarian, not authoritarian: in the latter, the despotic power is primarily concerned with political power, whereas the totalitarian seeks to regulate the citizen's entire life.
Just a note about the name of the algorithm: Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming indeed uses letters for algorithms, but the intended convention is that, for example, this algorithm be called "Algorithm 4.3.1D" (that's the name used in "Appendix C — Index to Algorithms and Theorems"). From page 2 of Volume 1 of TAOCP:

> The format above illustrates the style in which all of the algorithms throughout this book will be presented. Each algorithm we consider has been given an identifying letter (E in the preceding example), and the steps of the algorithm are identified by this letter followed by a number (E1, E2, E3). The chapters are divided into numbered sections; within a section the algorithms are designated by letter only, but when algorithms are referred to in other sections, the appropriate section number is attached. For example, we are now in Section 1.1; within this section Euclid’s algorithm is called Algorithm E, while in later sections it is referred to as Algorithm 1.1E.

In the case of this particular "Algorithm D", the letter "D" is chosen probably because it's an algorithm for "Division of nonnegative integers" (it follows algorithms "A", "S" and "M" for you-can-guess-what); indeed the same volume also has another "Algorithm D (Factoring with sieves)" (=Algorithm 4.5.4D), and an "Algorithm D (Division of polynomials over a field)" (=Algorithm 4.6.1D). I think that, as several times in the same section it's referred to simply as "Algorithm D" (for example), this convention is not very obvious unless one has looked at either the second page of the first volume, or the appendix. Or I guess within a certain field a particular section of TAOCP is implicit, so it's clear from context.
Well they should factor in strategic loss by attrition. If you shoot a $1 million dollar missile at every $100 dollar drone, that’s a good way to lose a war.

Not sure about mid ranking officers, but captains who are in charge of ships think about such things.
Not trolling you, genuinely trying to bridge a communication gap I see both sides of: they, and I, reacted literally to I think what you meant to be hyperbole, i.e. by saying "Surely one of the people on the deck with a shotgun could have a go at it without revealing too much secret information", you meant to say "why didn't they take any aggressive action?":

The other comments speak to various factors why it was more complicated, and just affirming that decision wouldn't have enabled action, TL;DR: you don't start throwing $500K missiles at lights 1,000 feet above deck when you're right off the coast of the US, and also we don't have nearly all the info here, just a subset of a subset of docs that got through via FOIA two years ago, you can safely assume that would have been considered at the time
