Well, they tried to get rid of him with the "sex scandal" stuff and that didn't work. He was betting that the prestige press wouldn't bring up the nursing home deaths--since other governors have the same problem lurking--but he forced them to. They really, really don't want him in 2024. So goes the conspiracy thinking anyway.
This is not an argument for the existence free will. I think it’s an argument that free will’s absence is no loss, since the deterministic choices of humans are expressions of unique paths of their consciousness in space time. Uniqueness as a salve on the painful claim that one is deterministically driven to always order the Big Mac.
A similar concept, it seems, Andrew Chaikin's "A Man on the Moon" is a fantastic read.

> Putting the elevator in front does not necessarily lead to instability if you get the geometry right

The Wrights clearly didn't. Around 1979 a Caltech scientist did a study on it, and determined that the flights of the 1903 Flyer went about as far as they could have due to the instability. At the 100th anniversary, a couple of exacting flying replicas were built, and flew about the same distance.

I'm not sure about this, but the mathematics of stability and control theory had not been invented at the time. These theories were developed alongside electronics.

However, it was still known that one puts the feathers on the back of the arrow, not the front. Just try shooting an arrow with the feathers on the front. It promptly turns around so the feathers are at the back.

Not anonymous if you give your PII to create accounts on the web.
You could though, as long as you're careful with contracts. With backend software that just means a contract that you're not going to give a copy to anyone else. With frontend software that means making people sign contracts that they aren't going to further distribute it, before you distribute it to them.

All copyright really does is make these contracts "automatic". I guess that's important for things like web ui's, but it doesn't really matter for anything with an EULA, e.g. appstores like steam could work exactly the same as they do today.

Bear in mind that the Luna missions were done with 1960s Soviet robotics technology... And were only a side-show to their goal of a manned landing, which was hamstrung by repeated launcher problems. (And as soon as they lost the moon race, interest in this immediately dried up on the Soviet side - the sample return in the 70s was an afterthought.)

If your goal is to plant a flag and ship back ~400 Kg of moon rocks, you could do it today, using robots, for a tiny fraction of a manned mission's budget. The thing is, bringing back 400 Kg of moon rocks is not 400 times more valuable than bringing back 1 Kg of moon rocks.

I'm not really interested in discussing semantics, but rather the root issue.

Money in Politics, especially when it's perfectly legal, is a massive, massive problem. It's literally impossible to get fair and impartial leaders who will make decisions in the interest of the common person when corporations are spending millions and millions.

Right now a judge sitting on the highest court in the entire country is hearing a case involving a company who openly and directly paid to have her elected into that position.
I don't care if that person is from the right or left (or middle), there is no universe where that is a good thing, or should be allowed.

Having a Supreme Court Justice you paid preside over your court case sounds like a very perverted form of Justice under Democracy to me.

>If there is any other code that touches account.balance from any other thread of execution (OS thread, coroutine, etc), then this code is already not safe.

My point is about concurrency, not parallelism. I didn't mention anything about threads, let alone that there's more than one thread involved or that threads are being spawned.

Take a simple node.js program or a Rust program that has a single-threaded tokio executor, or a C# WinForm program that reuses the UI thread for running Tasks, and everything I wrote applies. A single Account value used to be fine to be shared between coroutines because only one invocation of ChargeAccount would be active at a time, but the "transparent async" breaks that assumption.

Explicit async-await makes it more obvious that multiple invocations of ChargeAccount might interleave unless proven otherwise, and the programmer has a reason to confirm that it is not the case, or use locking / atomics as necessary.

>You seem to assume it is equivalent to something like this, which would indeed be unsafe, but is not the case:

That `Task.WaitAll` program is indeed what I'm talking about, though the part of you thinking that I was talking about it being equivalent to a multi-threaded program is bogus.

The nursing home scandal was known long before. The sex scandal seemed to be used to cover that up. His top aide, Melissa DeRosa, has admitted to covering up the nursing home deaths. People have come out saying he was intimidating them. He is under Federal investigation. What part of it is a conspiracy theory?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/cuomo-top-aide-reportedly-...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cuomo-nursing-home-deaths-total...

He knowingly sent people with covid into nursing homes against the will of the people running them, even though that's how the first major outbreak happened in Washington state. He then covered it all up by trying to attribute the deaths to hospitals. Then stonewalled the Feds asking for information about those deaths. His aide admitted to it. He should be in jail. He killed at least 15,000 people as a direct result of his orders.

I just hope they investigate the other 5 governors that sent the people with covid back into nursing homes.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/five-governors-cuomo...

They should have all known. This is how it all started, it seems deliberate. Cover-up or not, they are all either dangerously incompetent or malicious.
Why can’t the feds do for construction corruption what Blumenthal and Giuliani did to organized crime in NYC.

The feds know it’s corrupt. Why can’t they go there and say all projects need to come through us and they ensure there is no monkey business going on with the contracts?

The consistency level seems to be Causal Consistency, which does include read-your-writes. S3 doesn't provide ACID transactions, so stricter consistency models aren't really needed.

From what I've read, if a network issue occurs which would impair consistency, S3 sacrifices availability. The write would just fail.

But this isn't your 5-node distributed system. Like they mention in the article, the witness system can remove and add nodes very quickly and it's highly redundant. A network issue that would actually cause split-brain or make it difficult to reach consensus would be few and far between.

I have worked construction in San Francisco, and a former General Contractor.

There is a cost difference between all union projects, and non-union projects.

The costs seem outrageous at first. If I wanted to hire a union local 6 Electican a few years ago the union would charge me $101/hr. for a skilled worker to show up.

Yes--it sounds nutty?

The answer is bypass the union, and go non-union?

When all us said and done, and the project is completed, and the developer gets the bill; the few projects I worked on, the total cost of building was roughly the same?

That doesn't take into account what non-union shops cost society either.

Very few non-union shops provide health care. If they do, it's usually a lousy plan.

Workers get sick, or hurt, and worker's compensation runs out; you have workers looking for government medical care.

My point is I'm pretty sure the mob is not affiliated with unions in San Francisco. (I know that was not your point)

My main point is when the building is completed, and it's time for the developer to sell the shiny new building; the price you pay is exactly the same.

Non-union workers make developers more money. The buyer will not see those savings.

You the buyer will not receive a better deal ever. The market determines the price.

Now--if you are the developer, it's a no brainer--kind of--you want the building built as cheaply as possible. You hire non-union, provide lousy training, but live in a grand mansion. You spit out a few spoiled kids, and they run the money machine. (Big Bill of Bradley electric was apprentice for 5 years. Learned the trade. Turned around and opened a non-union shop. Made millions. Made so much money he could shoot his son in-law, and somehow get out if a long jail sentence. Making a lot of money is nice?)

Many unions now have a no compete clause in their agreement. Unions don't want to pay for your schooling, and have their guys opening up non-union shops. I am pretty sure it's never enforced, or even legal? Wow--I'm just writing too much today. Don't feel that great? I'm finding this opening depressing in a weird way. Sorry about bothering anyone with my issues. I sometimes have no one to talk to.)

O.k, I say "kind of" because with a union run job, it's usually done on time, and done well.

This crazy rant is basically developers are usually the only one's saving money with non-union help.
But... YOU were the one who implied it was a norm, by insisting that it happens "a lot" that the same people who make fun of rednecks then jump on people or other perceived racial bias.

And nothing you've shown here seems like evidence to me, you're just lumping all your "enemies" in one bucket and figuring that they're the same folks.

Unions in the US work different from France.

In France unions wouldn't attempt to get their people $200/hour that the sandhogs in NYC get. We should bring the high priced unions to a realistic wage. However most union wages are not that far out of line.

Also in France the union is more relaxed about letting go of jobs that are automated away. There is no reason a TBM needs twice as many people to operate it in NYC as in France. There is no reason for any trains to have a conductor anymore, and train drivers are something that should be all but dead as well (though France is way behind the automation curve here as well)

That said, union labor is only a small part of the problem. Even if all of the most anti-union propaganda is taken as 100% true, union labor is still only a small fraction of the total cost of any build in the US. As such we need to look hard at what is going on in the other parts of construction.
Of course it is, they are financing your phone which costs money. You are paying extra for the risk, inflation and interest.
The limiting factor here is that unlike stocks, it's not safe for a public figure to say bad things about Bitcoin.

It would be like a public figure saying bad things about Nazi Germany while living in Nazi Germany during WW2.

Bitcoin is more like a country than a company... Except it's even more dangerous because all its citizens are anonymous; they operate with total impunity.

They could remove anyone who is an obstacle to the Bitcoin price and nobody would know who did it. Worse than that, any attempt at investigating the crime would be anonymously bribed to a halt.

Not sure if it's like this yet, but seems like a definite possibility.

If autopilot allows itself to be activated in an area where it doesn't work, who is accountable for that? If it depends on collision avoidance that performs far worse than other solutions, who is accountable for that? When Tesla sells a $10k package that calls itself autopilot and then people die when they have it turned on, who is accountable for that?

> So while these bureaucratic opinions are fascinating, like many such committee driven conclusions they should be taken with a grain of salt. Tesla has thought things through pretty well.

Every other driver assist technology limits its own scope to prevent over-reliance. That's because those companies (Subaru/Toyota/GM/Ford/Volvo/BMW/VW) are working with regulators across the world to develop and adhere to standards. If Tesla's solution was better, you'd have some numbers to back it up instead of a bizarre assertion that industry experts are suddenly clueless when they are part of a regulatory body.

Tesla has created an unreliable semi-autonomous system and made it available before it's ready against the advice of the NTSB and other regulators. That is irresponsible and people who would have otherwise been paying attention have died because they, like you, assumed that "Tesla has thought things through pretty well."

Much like an IT department that fights tooth and nail against a third party security audit, it should be obvious why Tesla is so dedicated to pretending that there isn't a problem. They don't want to admit autopilot isn't ready, and will likely never be dependable until they have proximity sensors in addition to cameras like every other solution does. They'd rather blame the drivers for relying on the technology they just paid for. It's a ridiculous defense that will ultimately fall apart.

Most "N95" masks that are generally available (i.e. those from Home Depot) have the rubber flapper valves for exhalation. Think they do anything much useful medically?

How many people have you seen wearing clear plastic face shields or bandannas tied around their face like Ol' West banditos, with the bottom open? How about with the mask pulled down below their nose? (Disclaimer: I did that the other day; I was at the optometrist and my breath was fogging up the lens thingy.)

The early pandemic mask messaging was wrong. A postmortem might very well find that they made the best recommendations they could based on what they knew.[1] Unless you've already decided that they screwed up because they're lying idiots.

The ADA might be generally a good idea, but that doesn't mean that everything it makes you do is a good idea.

On my street, the city(near Denver) recently added 3 curb cuts for ADA compliance. I don't know how much those curb cuts cost, but they weren't free. Now - no one really walks down my street. There were curb cuts at both ends of the block. Every driveway has a curb cut. But more curb cuts needed to be added because of the ADA, even though there is no clear explanation of how anyone with a movement disability is going to benefit from these new cuts.
Also, a bunch of stuff that seems super-old actually isn't. There were still lions in the Caucusus until the 10th century... CE, not BCE. A thousand years earlier they lived in Thrace, too. There were still some wooly mammoths alive when the Great Pyramids were being built.

Similarly, living history can sometimes reach closer to the modern day than one might appreciate. There were (probably—some of the stories lack documentation) a few people born into legal chattel slavery in the US still alive while Martin Luther King, Jr. was active. The "Old West" and settler/Western Expansion days were still very much in living memory when early western radio serials and films were made, so it's entirely possible (likely, even) that a couple honest-to-god gunslingers (rare though they may have been, and as unlike their film counterparts) or victims/perpetrators of settler/native violence sat down and watched romanticized Westerns on the big screen. Shane is set in 1889 and came out in 1953. Lots of people alive during the fictionalized events of the film were still alive then. At least a few people who fought in or witnessed actual fighting in the Civil War likely watched Keaton's The General in a movie theater, or (more ominously) Griffith's The Birth of a Nation.
