NASA said they preferred two HLS contractors for redundancy. But, at the end of last year, Congress decided to give NASA only 25% of the budget they'd requested for HLS. And after that, NASA decided that with only 25% of their requested HLS budget, they couldn't afford two contractors any more, and decided to only go with one.

Dynetics in their bid protest [0] argue that deciding to go with only one contractor fundamentally changed the entire competition, and that NASA should have abandoned it, restarted it, or amended it, in response. However, if you read the original NASA request for proposals [1] it says that (page 8) "While NASA reserves the right to change its HLS acquisition strategy at any time, NASA is currently planning to award Base Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) to up to four contractors; exercise Option A CLINs for up to two of those contractors; and later exercise Option B CLINs for either one or two Option A contractors". Dynetics argument that NASA fundamentally changed their strategy is hard to take seriously given that all along NASA was saying it would reward "up to two" Option A contracts, which left open the possibility that it might award only one. It also said (page 60) "NASA reserves the right to select for award multiple, one, or none of the proposals received in response to this Appendix. The overall number of awards will be dependent upon funding availability and evaluation results" (my emphasis). NASA knew all along that it might not get as much money from Congress as it wanted, and the current situation was a foreseen possibility that NASA envisaged in the original solicitation.

That is interesting. Would you consider the teachings of Judaism to be more or less authoritative than the biblical/original scriptures? (Sorry I don't know the Jewish phrasing beyond maybe the "the books of Moses")

I disagree. The DS only stopped selling because the Switch replaced it. IPhone and Android only service part of the gaming market, and they aren't making any inroads into the remaining balance. Or to put it another way, they've done a good job expanding the gaming market, but haven't stolen gamers away from PC and console.

Maybe it’s because I don’t do any C/C++ programming but when you’re building your application can’t you just link your libraries via an arbitrary folder? Why are you dependent on system versions at all? To me that seems horrid. Unless I’m coding directly on the system (i.e. working on the OS itself) can’t you just skirt issues with different versions by just downloading your libraries to an arbitrary folder and pointing your tool chain there?

I'd say just try any of the microblogging-capable federated apps, and weigh them on their pros and cons. Like Pleroma for instance.

Mastodon is by far the most popular app. A lot of that is by better productization and name recognition, leading to network effects. Downside to that for the Fediverse is that many newcomers think Mastodon === Fediverse, and don't discover all it has to offer.

For devs willing to contribute, or start their own federated projects, there's much to choose from and build upon. There is much untapped potential in the under-used Linked Data aspects of the specification. To build entirely different app types and protocols that interoperate (which need not necessarily be with entire fediverse). ForgeFed is an example of this.

it's been 80% hell on gpu markets but asics did eventually offload pressure on most propf-of-work markets. and the blowback was overall pretty good & nice, albeit also saturated the secondary markets with cards used heavily, often over locked to shit, ready to fail, whereas typically such cards on ebay would have been great buys. but it pushes prices down nicely none the less, when asics took out the gpu market.

there's not really any way to tailor this new shitcoin to specialry hardware: if these fuck gains the all too much religious following, it will shred the storage market. there's no hacks, no special optimizations. there will never ever be relief. it will be reality versus their imaginary but profit making fantasy, pratical use versus endless speculative/zero-sum profiteering forever and ever & fuck them fuck that fuck this so so so much. what a horrible curse.

almost none of these cryptocoin nft whatever activities have any premise or use other than trying to get rich. what a disgraceful use. i'd label it all as esoteric but esoterics often have very powerful underlying use & powers: this is almost all a huge fucking sham where the value is nearly entirely an imaginary number, one too many fucks imagine.

Precisely because it's so critical, it's a terribly efficient leverage over you, pretty much legalized extortion. Imagine you wake up one morning and your car happily announces that it's updated software overnight and from now on for your safety faceid is required to start the car and an always on driver facing camera will help you to stay focused on the road and arrive safely at your destination no matter where it is. Ah, also, by touching the door handle you agree to the new terms of service. The thing is you have an important appointment in 30 mins.

Because then they would lose profits. If labor becomes more expensive, maximal profit would be found at producing less and charging more, but overall profit would decrease.
I have had the exact opposite experience. Long term maintenance in a monorepo is much easier because all developers have visibility into changes. Tooling isn’t really all that complex (at least to me and I’m not a devops engineer either). It’s way more complex to me to have multiple repositories. I’d rather have hundreds of directories that follow uniformity rather than hundreds of git repositories that may not
If you're having trouble concentrating on a ketogenic diet it's likely that you're not eating enough vegetables, and might be eating too much protein.

Too much protein can take you out of ketosis, but people think they can just eat lean hamburger three times a day.

If the fat/protein ratio is right, the inability to focus can be a symptom of electrolyte deficiency, particularly sodium, potassium, and magnesium. You should be getting potassium and magnesium from vegetables, but supplements can be a useful diagnostic tool: If you take 400 mg of potassium and find, an hour later, that you're thinking more clearly, that's data.

Don't overdo it with electrolyte supplements, though; too much sodium can increase the calcium in your blood enough to give you kidney stones, if you're lucky, and worse effects if you're unlucky. Too much potassium can mess with your heart.
This sounds as if it's specifically aimed at defeating ransomware which acts by deleting, overwriting, or encrypting (a form of overwriting) files.

1. This is only one form of malware attack, generally.

2. Backups are in fact simplest and most resilient form of defence against such attacks. Most specifically, offline backups in a secure location distinct from the system in question.

3. There are any number of tools and technologies which provide change-resistant storage. This includes:

a) One-time writable media. CDROM-Writable (not rewritable), paper tape, ROM, and the like. The obvious challenge here is that this i) requires specific media formats and ii) any degree of volatility of the data rapidly makes large-scale storage extraordinarily expensive.

b) Copy-on-write. When implemented as a filesystem or volume manager, this results in snapshotable filesystem. Edits are saved as new writes, old data are not actually deleted. The advantage is the ability to roll back to previous (and in the case of malware, presumably un-tainted) versions of a file. Storage overhead is less than in the one-time-writable media case. Disadvantages are performance, the face that such system don't disable all deletes, they only make deletion (or other forms of updating) separate actions.

c) Versioning. This might be implemented at the filesystem or workflow level. Tools such as Git and other distributed versioning systems keep multiple copies of an entire project tree, and the edits associated with it available in multiple copies. The good news is that it's unlikely for the entire project to be deleted or corrupted from all sources at once. The bad news is that both media and OS can still corrupt or delete individual instances. For "blobs" (binary large objects, including typically media files (audio, video), version control works poorly at best.

d) Malware interception. Detecting and preventing malware from being written to disk in the first place. This is how much present anti-malware systems work, the problem being that various signature-based detection tools are only partially effective at best.

There's the further issue that there are many potential objectives of hacking attacks. Data deletion or destruction is only one small part of the threat.

In general, the solution exists. It's called current and tested offline backups.

It's different this time ;-) In 2008 there was a lot of new construction that wasn't yet sold, and people bought houses out in the boonies sometimes, but they got loans they could never pay for - expecting the house would appreciate and they justify a new loan, or sell it soon for more money. Prices fell and they couldn't get a new loan or pay their old loan.

Today there is a housing shortage, & that's driving up prices. I'm sure there are some people hoping to flip their houses, but all I read is there is much more stringent mortgage requirements than before and in hot markets at least there are multiple offers. So it's similar in a vague way, but it's much different in it's the housing shortage that is driving a lot of the price increase today. Still, eventually I expect the shortage to ease, builders will make more houses, so that should lower the pressure or lower prices, eventually, at least somewhat.

If people aren't buying so many houses they can't afford, then shouldn't the problem of mass loans going back to the bank be avoided?

It also depends on whether your company legally resides in the US or not. And also where the HQ is located (as that's the legal baseline for taxes in Ireland).

Most of those mega companies probably are not even paying taxes in the US, due to them having their legal residence in a postbox office in Dublin.

In addition to my initial comment: Most banks that offer enterprise/business bank accounts have a feature to split up accounting so that you can manage the financials of teams and suborganizations in a separate manner which eases up filing tax reports, too. I know that this is the case in Europe, but dunno anything about the banking system in the US.
> You can't really get high standards for low costs.

I agree but here they're also expensive, which, in my view, is a symptom of the corruption and lack of a free market.

Again I agree, but if you're into industrial estates with lots of concrete and overhead wires galore, then Japan is the place for you. I'm sure someone likes it, maybe the brutalists who made the ugliest parts of my country (the UK) after the war.
this incredibly viral "chia will cause a shortage of hard drives" meme (true or not) is a huge gift wrapped win for the coin's promoters.

every impression of this meme that results in someone's decision to avoid chia (which, had they never heard of the coin in the first place, would have been the outcome anyway) will be offset by a half dozen others who will spot a quick 10x return opportunity for themselves, even if they recognize that the long term result is a net negative for everyone else.

Socioeconomic status. People can't tell by looking at me but within about two sentences they can very accurately HEAR via my speech patterns that I grew up in a lower socioeconomic class than 99% of US born programmers in the industry. I have a very rural dialect but I do work hard to have excellent grammar when I speak. Over the years I've worked hard to suppress the accent while at work and I'm sad to say that it's been very effective in reducing people's biases toward me. Of course that's just anecdotal it's not like somebody was scientifically measuring anything. And I'm fully aware it's a huge luxury to be able to hide what makes you different from people, as opposed to race/gender/etc.
Keto diets are usually (not always!) used to lose weight.

Calorie restriction is a sure way to get brain fogs, and it's easy to inadvertently be in caloric deficit when on keto, because you have to give up many foods, and there are no sudden cravings for sugary/starchy food.

Linux desktop is nowhere due to the thousands of distributions and disparity in development effort. A linux phone is simply unthinkable. Biggest strength in android/ios is the centralized leadership and vision. This enables consumers to make an easy choice, which attracts developers, who all seek predictability and maximum exposure.

But even if the linux community centralizes around a singularity, it will still be no-compete, since android/ios have superior momentum. You can't race against Bolt when you have a late start and Bolt is already 5 meters from the finishing line.

What it would take is a paradigm shift. Apple sunk Nokia (and the whole mobile world) by innovating.

Android/ios are locked down ad platforms running on superior hardware that the user merely "rents" from the supplier. A device that features an unlocked OS that doesn't limit itself to its form factor is going to drown everything else. Android already has begun to do half of that - it has initial desktop mode support. Some manufacturers like motorola and samsung have their own awesome-looking take on desktop mode. It's only a matter of time consumers embrace this and throw their useless laptops. Current phones have as much or more ram than my last office PC, so think of just this: hook an usbc cable to a random monitor, presto - desktop computer in your pocket you can do work on.

> This comes up a lot, but how often do you end up in a scenario where there's a critical security hole and you _can't_ patch it because one program somewhere is incompatible with the new version? Maybe even a program that isn't security critical.

That’s not the point. The point is having to find and patch multiple copies of a library in case of vulnerability instead of just one.

Giving up the policy to enforce shared libraries would just make the work of security teams much harder.
I'm 100% not trolling with this question, I really like Emacs, buuut:

Does it fix having to restart Emacs after at most 8-16 hours of use?

Could this experience be a plugin I use, or my own idiocy? Originally, I assumed "YES! Of course! I am idiot... This is my fault!" Then came the observation when pairing with people (across a variety of languages) who use Emacs, who all say on a regular basis, without so much as a thought to it:

"one sec, I just need to restart Emacs."

Followed by 30 seconds of restarting Emacs and 30 more seconds setting up the buffers. I'd definitely use Emacs but the inevitable, and uncontrollable, lockups kill it for me.
> You’re mixing up nation states and ethnostates.

I'm not, using common definitions. They just happen to usually be the same because culture and ethnicity are often very tightly coupled.

The factors you're talking about (border sovereignty and determination of citizenship/residency) are all related to being a "state" and have relatively little to do with being a nation, which is just a shared culture. A nation state is the term for a state, the political entirely, whose population shares a broadly homogenous culture. If you choose to define the US as a nation-state, then it blunts the "nation" portion to the point of redundancy, as the culture of sharing a government is enough to define a nation. Do a bit of research here and at a minimum you'll find that the US being a nation state is widely disputed. But we can agree to disagree because again, everything you're talking about is political determination related to statehood. Nation is irrelevant.

> Deportation isn’t a “punishment.” It’s restoration of the status quo ante in response to someone entering illegally

This is weak semantics. A goal of retribution is not a requirement for some act to be a punishment. It is simply "the imposition of an undesirable or unpleasant outcome upon a group or individual, meted out by an authority as a response and deterrent to a particular action or behavior that is deemed undesirable or unacceptable". Defacto it is a punishment. But this again doesn't matter even if you choose to find it not a punishment, it is still unjust. It may also be a return to the status quo, but so too is, for example, returning someone to prison for a parole violation, and I think you'd be hard pressed to define that as anything but a punishment.

> If you build a house on someone else’s land, they can force you to tear it down.

I'm dubious of this. You likely could not compel me to tear it down. You could sue to cover the costs, but if I had no money there are limits on what you could do.

I'm contending that deportation is similar. It, at a minimum, is not a just way to "restore the status quo".
