Is it really that different from court-ordered email dumps? FBI raids taking people's computers? Before email and the widespread use of computers these things weren't done, but I don't hear anybody saying we should go back to "the good old days" before computers and email because at least then we wouldn't have all this invasive government snooping.
Any theory for the firings has to explain why the enlisted chief was fired. He would not have been involved in any orders related to the F-15. His responsibility is the enlisted force, not airplanes or their use. So I don't buy the F-15 as the cause.

Also note that the Wing Commander at the F-15 wing denied in January that the airplane was put on alert. It therefore seems that the LA Times learned about this incident three months ago ... so why would firings happen now? Note that this reporter is the same reporter that wrote the 2019 story about the incident at the F-15 wing that got the previous two-star fired. I'd bet that some people in the F-15 wing have a relationship with this reporter and leaked the F-15 story months ago, but there was not enough for the paper to publish the story. The firings gave the F-15 "incident" a second life.

The most likely explanation is that something related to an enlisted member was mis-handled at State Headquarters. It could have been some complaint about harassment (or worse). I doubt it was money -- the California Guard has had several stinging money incidents in recent years, and they have never been shy about disclosing the details.

I think the parent comment is talking about Silicon Valley salaries where the ballpark starting compensation at FAANG is roughly in line with ~180k$ (that was my starting comp many years ago, it probably has increased since). In the Bay, that's the norm, but then again, cost of living is also very high.

How Remote Work Is Killing Manhattan’s Storefronts
In my experience the S in SNMP is anything but simple. Conceptually it is simple, but once you add MIBs in (which describe the data) it gets really complicated.

SNMP support in actual devices seems to be more of a box ticking exercise than anything else now-a-days. It works for the basics but trying to do anything more complicated reveals a lot of bugs in the implementation. I think there is a lot of importing an SNMP library and calling it done SNMP implementations in devices!

Take the Q-BRIDGE-MIB for an example - one I know well. That is a standard implemented by switches so they can configure VLANs for you which sounds great. Does it work? Well sort of - switch manufacturers have invented a lot of ways of getting the implementation wrong so you end up with a translation layer for every switch type.

The security of SNMP is terrible too. In theory SNMPv3 has better security, but very few devices actually implement it, and it is, you guessed it, really really complicated. Only run SNMP on a private (non internet connected) network!
Tried this recently? Bug density is declining dramatically.

College students are just as smart as graduates and they tend to have much more time on their hands.

So yeah, this is cool work, kudos and everything, but the fact that a college student is doing it is the least surprising part of it if you really think about it.
That's the theory. In practice it works as was described above - they look for existing patents. Looking for prior work to any degree would presumably make the cost (and time) astronomical (or at least not covering what they're paid), as a general rule. The world is very different from when the patent system was established.

Yeap. I think Pandas could and should see a lot more use outside data science as performant in-memory data storage in Python.

The problem with agriculture in Africa is that the seasonality is pretty bad. Instead of 4 seasons you have the really wet season and the really dry season. The insects truly suck too.

This is why Europeans settlers failed to colonize Africa, except for the southernmost part.
I think it would be far worse!

We would lose access to modern tech and ancient tech is lost completely already.

How many people can farm without access to machinery at all?

How many would be able to produce any hammer from scratch? How you would ensure that they are heard and followed?

How many draft animals are present in your area, for example oxen and horses?

Rebuild time just to restore food supply is too long, we would collapse to prehistoric stage with some pockets of places where food stockpiles were not destroyed.

And maybe even worse as animals are not available for hunting!

We would survive as species, but with nearly total population, cultural and technological loss.

It had Shoutcast.
as someone who has worked with SNMP for the past 5 years and who has written SNMP to websocket bridges and SNMP device simulators, SNMP was simple upto V2C, they made it extremely complex with V3 and they have shoved too many things into what was once a simple protocol.
also, SNMP is simple due to the fact that it is built mostly over UDP and that there are no acknowledgements for any action you perform.
Netconf is a much nicer interface to work with.

A kernel that isn't exposed to userspace, POSIX and Linux syscalls are not public APIs on Android, which is composed of Java userspace and a well defined set of NDK APIs.

Any application that tries to use private APIs might be killed by Android Sandbox infrastructure.

As such Google can replace it by something else, e.g. Fuchsia, and app developers won't even notice that the kernel has changed (ART is being ported to Fuchsia).

Then on IoT space, the competition from BSD licensed POSIX clones is heating up, most OEMs don't want any GPL tainted OS on their devices, just in case.

As for the desktop, I already gave up.

> So there will be two chains that hold value.

Nah, because the post-taproot software will have more hashpower (due to how it activates), the taproot enabled blocks are acceptable to old nodes, and Bitcoin follows the valid chain with the most hashpower.

Bitcoin has introduced changes like this a good dozen times in the past, it doesn't create two separate chains in practice.

The only way it can create two separate chains is if the unupgraded side has a super majority hashpower, one of them modifies their software to mine something invalid under the new 'future' rules... and no humans intervene to prevent that outcome (e.g. by getting hashpower to move). In practice this doesn't happen because the activation is triggered by 90% hashpower indicating that it will enforce. (and won't turn active until November, giving people plenty of time to upgrade)
That is probably less of a concern than most other things because the industry is so highly regulated that everything is formally specified and documented.

Now guess what happens if we forget how to make something intrinsic to modern farming.
Has anyone else noticed reddit on mobile browsers being ridiculously slow? My experience is that the page loads fine, but then there's 10 seconds or so of loading animation before the page displays. Requesting desktop site makes it load immediately. I'm 95% sure they just have a timer they make you sit through in an effort to get you onto their app.
I think the bigger problem is W3W some how got a patent on basically using a fixed pointed number (aka fixed size grids) as a look up into a table. Nothing is too complicated or really innovative about using bits to look up words in a table.

Their table has about ~40000 entries. And all it basically does is concats the two fixed point numbers into one longer binary number and splits that into 3 different numbers. Then each number is used to lookup a word. It's also quite bad compared to other geo-hashes that have hierarchical structure that can get more accurate as you specify more information.
You are stating this like it's a fact and a known quantity but the reality is that it isn't.

Many countries who manage their money supply have wildly unstable currencies. Turkey for example.

On the other hand many economists belive Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman's assertion that "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon" (more economists disagree with this probably, my point being that these are not settled matters)

And we have absolutely zero long term evidence of how currencies with pre determined supplies behave.

So, sure, state your case, you might be right, but don't make it out to be like this is some law of physics.
That scenario isn't caused by an addiction to change. It's just not economically viable to continue manufacturing obsolete equipment for a shrinking customer base.
This thing looks really neat, and I want it to be real, but it looks awfully like the vaporware that was (is?) the Moller M200/M400 Skycar, so I’m biased deeply in suspicion. Doubly so, having idolized the Skycar as a youngster, only to see it fail to materialize over decades.

I think that particular design was plagued with efficiency problems, besides being too far ahead of its time (the software was purportedly quite advanced and likely prohibitively expensive).

Jetoptera are saying they get a 10% improvement in propulsive efficiency with 50% of the fuel consumption ... I have a lot of questions ... 10% at what ratio? across the board? on average? Does that combine with the 100% fuel efficiency increase to get 110% more thrust for the energy consumed?

Why can’t they run this device on an edf? (There is some mention of needing batteries abt 1500Wh/kg?) Those are well known for being horribly inefficient, and I’d imagine getting a 110% efficiency boost for even a model edf would be making waves all around in the modeling community.

Lastly, there are all sorts of interesting edf quadcopters; see, for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5L6FSdUmEpg It seems like it should be trivial to apply this tech to a prototype of that scale and demonstrate its effectiveness, but as the article points out, it seems most of the prototypes are for fixed wing aircraft. Why not just go right to vtol prototypes?

I think it does matter how the 500 people are set up:

- Information flows become adversarial. I don't want to tell my customer they're wasting money on the heating element, because what they waste ends up in my pocket.

- Incentives are different. Customer wants the best heating element for their use case, but I want the one that I can sell to as many customers as possible, so I'll nudge them towards this one that seems to fit that description.

- Marketing arm sees an opening and wants to innovate. Sadly they don't speak the same language as the techs, metaphorically and literally.

You could say this is the same problem that the whole world has. Why aren't we all a global village, able to make decisions like saving the planet? Incentives are cut up and fall different ways because we don't see each other as one, and can't communicate that well.
You're probably thinking of the oldest written customer complaint, from 1750 BC.

In Poland taxation rules were not simplified, but tax filings for individuals are automatically generated based on documents supplied by employees.

> What is going on? Start with the lack of finance. Many Senegalese developers struggle to obtain loans without hefty collateral. Instead, some start building, hoping to tempt buyers to put down deposits on flats and then use that to help finance the rest of the building. But buyers are wary of making a commitment based on a construction site. These unfinished projects often tie up prime land, too.

> For Senegalese hoping to build their own homes, mortgages are rare. In all they cover only about 20% of the need. Across many African countries even the cheapest newly built house is unaffordable for most people. Instead, people break ground knowing they do not yet have the funds to finish. When they earn a little more money they add more bricks.

I think it's worth noting these two paragraphs above because, whilst the topic refers to "unfinished buildings" (which, depending on your local English dialect, typically evokes a sense of large buildings being constructed), the same financing hurdles apply to far smaller "buildings" across Africa - such as single room homes and other types of small dwellings.

> The shortage of finance makes a vicious circle. Many Africans, in effect, save in concrete. Thus money gets tied up for years in unfinished buildings earning nothing, rather than being put into a business or bank where it could earn a return which could allow would-be homeowners to build more rapidly later. The lack of liquidity in the financial system then further limits what banks can lend to builders.

A vicious circle indeed.

To the more economically astute among us, how would a country go about solving this problem?

Any historical analogies would be appreciated.
CPI is a terrible metric.

You are really simplifying at how memories or the brain works - we (IT workers) tend to think of memories as just some information that can be written down, stored and replayed. But the mechanism is much more different. You would need the specific brain to make any sense of it. You can't just upload some memories to a different brain for playback - these memories need to be formed in a long and slow process, same like you can't just upload some muscle mass to your body with a device. The same goes for retrieving memories, you can't just ask the brain to dump all the memories into a device. These memories would need to be "relived" (retrieved) by the brain at normal speed and this would be a tedious process. Unless we could do a scan of the whole brain at a single time and scan every single state of a cell (and then also build an interpreter device). There is a lot of biology behind memories and interaction with the whole body and chemistry to make it work. You can't rip memories out of the body because they are part of the whole system and they don't make sense outside of it.
