There's a difference between explicitly closing off any potential for liability and what's being described. I could, in fact, write a story that I describe or strongly imply as fictional (this is the essential part) about anyone wherein I describe them as doing heinous or illegal acts. This is why satire is legal, this is why e.g. John Oliver can describe clearly untrue things about Trump or whomever for the sake of a joke, why comedy podcasts can make jokes about individuals that no reasonable person would presume to be true. The reason that movies have that disclaimer is: so they can avoid even the chance of people saying the movie's describing their real (non-fictional) life (which might require payment on the part of creators of the movie) or (by virtue of describing their real life) open the movie up to libel claims if a reasonable person may presume the work is accurately describing that person. They're crossing their T's because lawyers are expensive whereas comedians to some extent thrive on drama like that (because they almost certainly won't be held to libelous).
Ok, what does your low RCS (that'd be stealth) A-10 look like?

Let's put it at medium altitude so that we don't have to try to armor it against manpads.

Then we can probably make it single engine, so we can get a bit cheaper mx.

Let's skip the fuck off huge gun, because it's raison d'etre was killing tanks, but even when it was designed, it was only good against the rear or side of a tank, not the front, and that was 50 years ago. If we use a smaller gun, we can save the weight for more useful things, like guided bombs.

It's going to need much better sensors, since we want it at medium altitude, so let's make sure to integrate them.

If we make it supersonic capable, we can increase the radius it can work over when on station.

Depends what you view as the core competency of an automaker.

Tesla has large leads in battery technology, software, and electric drivetrains. But they suck at manufacturing and quality control. Meanwhile Japanese & Korean automakers like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Subaru, etc. have spent literally decades perfecting manufacturing, QC, supply chain management, etc. It's a question of whether you can see legacy automakers catching up on the "electric" part before Tesla perfects the "car" part.

IMHO I think Tesla's strongest moat is in the battery technology and production capacity. Electric drivetrain components are a commodity, and Toyota etc. have had them for 2 decades with their hybrids. Software is also hard, and Tesla understands that more than legacy automakers - but actual software companies like Google & Apple are now getting into the auto business and selling their software solutions to automaker OEMs, and they can do a much more compelling software product than Tesla can. Doing QC, supply chains, and manufacturing right is harder than most startups think, and that's where Tesla really falls down.

Also, personally I won't buy any Tesla product other than the PowerWall (where they actually do have a strong competitive advantage and solid manufacturing). Heard too many horror stories about their cars, their solar panels, their solar panel installation, their roofs, their self-driving car software, etc. Quality issues early on become very persistent brand issues, and it's hard to change the perception of selling an unreliable product once ingrained.

(Interestingly, sometimes you don't have to - people buy BMWs and Ferraris despite them having shit reliability records. Sometimes because they have shit reliability records - being able to afford a BMW and its repairs is a mark of having income & time to spare. But that automatically locks you into the luxury Veblen-goods market; you'll never sell to hassled parents if they keep hearing stories about how your products are unsafe, have manufacturing defects, and require frequent repairs.)

I have one large, overarching project (https://couchmate.com) that I've had for the past 8 years.

Along the way, I'll take little detours into different projects as an escape from the main one, to keep things fresh, explore new technologies, etc. An example is I needed a better way to manage my Twitter lists, so I built Twitlistr in a week (https://twitlistr.com) to explore Nextjs/Next-Auth/Twitter API/Vercel.

I have a huge backlog (~10) of side-side projects I've started but stopped 30-50% of the way though because I got bored.

I was about to say the same thing, but it seems you got flak for it. Here in the UK, a large percentage of 70+ year olds (my Father is 75) are totally au fait with mobile phones, computers and tablets. In fact a lot of older folk have moved to large tablets as it's easier to zoom the text and scroll around for people their age.

That is in fact what happens. Apple rarely dominates in market share, and they do not have dominant phone market share. I can’t recall a time where they ever did have dominant phone market share.

Exactly. And that can be extremely useful for people who either don't want to or can't memorize the vi one-liner.

Nano is different from vi because it targets a different set of users. Many of them use the terminal infrequently, so you can't assume they'll ever build up the kind of muscle memory that makes vi so efficient. You can't even assume that they'll remember any commands, so the commands are displayed prominently at the bottom. There's a reason so many Ubuntu tutorials for beginners use nano instead of vi.
Why don't you have a web interface?
Agreed, I think one of the ways the two camps talk past each other is using "racist" to refer to both the motive of individual actors and the systemic and cultural biases.

Also yes, the judicial system is also sexist - police don't see women as being threats demanding lethal force, juries are more willing to see women as victims including of their circumstances. That's not the only reason for discrepancies, sociobiology looks into links between biological factors and criminality too, but the cultural issues are enough that defendants are coached to behave differently based on gender.

I see your final point, but my hunch is if you dig in to the correlation between age, gender and race with economics and geography, the eigenvalues will be ordered the other way (race, gender, age) - and if so I think that would indicate the Justice system is only a reflection of the larger society, rather than negate the idea of a racist justice system?
I don't know if 20,000 is a large or small number for a codebase the size of the linux kernel. How about bugs per line of code? In Code Complete, Steve McConnell writes "Industry Average: about 15 – 50 errors per 1000 lines of delivered code" As of 2020, there were 27.8 million lines in the kernel git repo. By McConnell's measure, the number of bugs in the kernel is rounding error.

Yeah, I was around then; buying those records, going to those clubs and in many cases partying with those DJs. But that was the end of “Techno” as a synonym for “electronic music. By then there was already numerous sub genres and many of them because music styles in their own right (like rock, metal, blues are all guitar music) with people identifying themselves as trance, house, hardcore et al clubbers rather than techno.

My comment was in regard to how the GP suggested that techno has since become another umbrella term again now. Or maybe I misunderstood their post?

One of the biggest things that has been going for tape as archive/backup storage has been that it is proven durability compared to alternatives in regards to bit rot. AT least that was the mantra for decades, not been active for years so may of shifted and price of solid state and storage rotation I would of thought offset things. But then that would be a live backup as opposed to something you want to archive and maybe never touch for eons, maybe for some regulation aspect you just need to archive that data and in a form that is acceptable to the standards of that industry. Which would be another factor and that would be legacy - it works, it has worked for ages and proven and trusted in X use for X industry regulatory needs and as such - ticks an insurance/liability box. Things like that from a technical aspect get overlooked as it is not just the technical aspect but also the whole industry/business/regulatory standards.

I know for one company in the pharma industry we looked at optical storage and for some uses it was fine, but for the long-term archival aspect in your store and 99.999999% forget about storage backups/archives it just didn't tick enough box's due to being unproven and when you get down to use X and if it fails you can say you did all the right things and if you use something that technically may be better and it fails, your head and massive fines and fallout can ensure much more easily. So tape for many been one of those - it works, why change.

I'd be fairly concerned if undersea mining waste or debris started killing off phytoplankton, perhaps by disrupting any of the delicate cycles such as phosphorus, or providing extra iron which may lead to runaway algal blooms or such, and subsequent algal death and oxygen shortage. Since the mining is so deep, we don't know if these effects will stay localized, or if undersea currents will dilute these effects, or anything.

It should be valid to question what harm there could be. Nature is quite fragile, and we should know that, especially seeing what harm industrial processes have had on the atmosphere.

On the other hand, it's quite possible that undersea mining may produce less harm than surface mining, where waste gets dliuted far enough to have less impact. Maybe similar to how salmon farming has to be done where there's a strong enough current to dilute the waste.
> It's very easy to ask people to not be "divisive" when you're the one with the money and the power, and not the ones who have the rights they have now as a consequence of the deaths and sacrifices of people being "divisive" by daring to stand up for themselves.

Too much. It goads people in the Rust community to pretend to think Facebook is well-meaning company.

In normal business practices (ignoring anomalous ones where coercive practices are used, like in app stores and platforms), B2B disputes end up in court and are settled according to law and contract.

Part of the problem seems to be the "at-will" nature of distribution contracts, allowing platforms to remove content for any reason, including none.

It is probably for legislators and courts to take a bold step and say that isn't acceptable, and such terms are null and void.

In Europe that seems to be the direction things are heading in with the forthcoming Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act.
Any one who

- demands azaadi for Kashmir

- supports terrorists in Kashmir and the red corridor

- openly talks about breaking up India into a thousand pieces

- would have no qualms in destroying India, Indian businesses and the Indian people in their quest to destroy Modi

is anti-national. Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus and went to war against secessionists. Why should Modi keep quiet and let these criminals burn India down?

The problem with Indian people is that they have been so thoroughly brainwashed by the Fabian socialists who ran the school system and the media that most of them can no longer think for themselves. This is how a genocidal maniac by the name of Ashoka became our national hero and we proudly call him "Great."

Sorry, but academics using the presumption of good faith that their status brings to do black/gray hat security work using an open source project of critical social importance as a dupe is a very real problem on its own. And it absolutely requires a separate solution. Other academic fields treat research ethics as critically important. Something like would simply end the career of someone in medicine, for example. Maybe computer science should too.

That the public kernel maintainers need more support and resources is a problem also. But the solution is different. We should be willing to discuss both and not use the latter as a way to make excuses for the nutjobs at Minnesota.
