> The current version of the NIS 2 directive explicitly says the EU will regulate the root servers, and therefore NASA and the US Department of Defense in this way

Is the latter part of this your conclusion and interpretation? I haven't looked at the source material but are you sure they aren't just referring to root servers operating in the EU or by EU companies. I find it hard to believe they would consider DoD servers within their jusrisdiction.

There is no difference between physicality and the information that backs it. Only a philistine would try to claim that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_wavefunction

> Since the universal validity of the state function description is asserted, one can regard the state functions themselves as the fundamental entities, and one can even consider the state function of the entire universe. In this sense this theory can be called the theory of the "universal wave function," since all of physics is presumed to follow from this function alone.[7]

You appeal to a trivially naive interpretation of what the wavefunction represents, yet claim that I or Hagelin are the crackpots. Don't you know that all modern science requires unobservables? Yet you want to constrain the wavefunction to being a mathematical tool for measurement only because that was its intended purpose and conceptual creation. Narrow mindset.

You think you understand quantum physics when no one does. Furthermore, you don't even understand wavefunctions except by their textbook definition...

I'm in the UK and there are quite a few services now that invest your money into property and infrastructure loans as peer to peer loans. I've invested in quite a few and see ~£50 a month as gains across the total set. I usually either reinvest or I pay out and buy into other investments. I could increase my exposure here but I think I'm at a comfortable level for my risk appetite.

For me this is investing in property but without the hassle of long term maintenance. You don't own the property but it's much more hassle free and fairly passive as long as you pick which things you'd like to invest into.

Services I've personally invested in and would vouch for:
- https://www.kuflink.com/
- https://www.loanpad.com/
- https://www.lendingworks.co.uk/
- https://www.abundanceinvestment.com/

You might like to try out some peer to peer loan based investments if you're after some fairly passive gains.

This is a manifestation of the general rule, "don't do things that scale" - at least if you're not the absolute best in the world at what you do.

Whenever something has high fixed and low marginal costs, this sort of winner-take-all distribution results. It's the exact same for indiegames, smartphone apps, or digital music.
"I ordered some Rust books from Amazon (printed in house) and they basically seem to be ebooks that have been printed out, loads of whitespace in random areas and no signs of proof-reading.

Yeah, there were multiple books that I read the reviews on amazon and people were complaining about the poor print quality. One of the Ted Greene books I got had a typo on the 2nd page in the table of contents, so I'm not sure if any proof reading is being done really.

As an aside, from my very amateur understanding, agriculture’s propagation was a lot more an outward migration of agriculturalists than I had previously believed (as opposed to spreading agricultural ideas to hunters and gatherers). This seems to be supported by genetic evidence, which I don’t purport to understand. I heartily recommend “Ancestral Journeys: The Peopling of Europe from The First Adventurers to The Vikings” by Jean Manco.
if this is true the root servers will simply move out of the EU

it's a lot easier to move than say, banking customers
The solution here seems simple: their buisness continuity plan is for traffic to fail over to other functioning servers.

As long as actually filing the paperwork is easy and the EU accepts the idea that the system is already designed to handle outages this sounds to me like a non-event.
I assume exercise machines where you can not cheat by leaning on something or pausing are somewhat accurate, such as stationary bikes or elliptical or rowing machines. So my estimate is from experience with those machines over the last 15 years, and all 3 end up averaging me at around the same 14 kcal/minute. But I’m no athlete, although I do have a pretty low body fat percentage.

Also, I misremembered the Olympic calorie amount, according to this NYTimes article, Olympic cross country skiers can do 30kcal per minute:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/sports/olympics/cross-cou...

> A typical elite cross-country skier will burn about 30 calories a minute during training — by comparison, a 155-pound person on an elliptical machine burns about 11 calories a minute.
Key issues for me were machine-id related and journal corruption. Also journalctl dumping core after a recovery-mode boot. That left us with no tools to deal with a compressed journal and no strace to find out what it was doing. I actually attached a USB disk to the machine and cp’ed the files off it in the end. This was inconvenient as the node was 1550 miles away from me.
The price for that limited scope is that it is much harder to figure out what is actual parameter of lambda that goes into map function. If is also not even limited all that much. In lambda, everything from surrounding scope is visible too.

My personal issue with these is that it is all harder to reason about, harder to read, harder to debug. And each time there is real issue, I have to unpack these into procedural, fix and then encrypt again.

I dont see less bugs in code since we started using these. Bugs did not dropped.
Additionally, BlockFi pays 8.6% APY on stablecoins. If you have any BTC, ETH, or LTC, they'll pay interest on those as well. Normally interest is paid in like-kind (e.g. a BTC balance generates BTC interest), but with the Flex option, you could have interest from all balances paid as one token. I chose to have everything paid in GUSD stablecoin, for instance, primarily to make figuring out taxes easier.
Part of "mutual annihilation" during the cold war was that every nation knew full scale invasions and annexation were a thing of the past. Both nations knew full well if their hegemony was at stake, they would launch their nuclear weapons at a minimum of self preservation, at a maximum of causing severe attritional losses to the victor. Which is why the nations on the offensive tend to not want the other nation backed into a corner. So it's a weird game of war chess where you want them at a point where the know something like that is the only way out but they can still negotiate and save face.
I have question about your other post which I found interesting

>We barely develop any software here anymore. So even very European companies like like Nokia and Ericsson, that are now trying to tell us that they are building our European telecommunication infrastructure. They’re actually not, they’re getting that built by other people in other countries far away. Anything having to do with server and PC development and manufacturing, there’s nothing left of that in Europe anymore.

As far as I've been told, then there are R&Ds in e.g Cracow, Poland or Wroclaw (probably nor R&D) that actively recruit or even train people

What are they doing then?
Yes it would be a shitstorm, but only because some grown adults act like big babies. None of these ideas are "taking away," they are merely requiring that people finally take some personal responsibility for their actions.

And the sort of person that is big about "personal responsibility" for others but calls personal responsibility for themselves "taking away" is actually somewhat stupid in their hypocrisy.

Unless all that "personal responsibility" is actually just backwards justification for a system that's rigged against people without wealth and power and the right skin color, but it couldn't be that could it?

You would be correct if you were managing this property yourself. This would be incorrect if you have a property manager managing this property. You can work with your property manager to auto approve any house related work that is under a certain threshold. Otherwise, they will send you an invoice for you to pay at your convenience.

With that said, depending on the property manager, they will do some of the following: find tenants, place tenants, evict tenants, collect rent, find contractors/repairperson to fix issues, etc.

The property manager makes it mostly passive but probably an hour a month of work if that.
I agree that under your bed in a lockbox is a rather poor choice, especially since not only are those boxes are usually not difficult to open without a key and they offer next to no real fire protection for any useful amount of time that would make difference.

Maybe the reply was just imprecise, but the sentiment seems to still be valid in that hiding your vault in your home/on your property somehow is surely more secure in many cases and circumstances, especially in this time where it should be clear to essentially everyone that fundamental rights once accepted as universal and violations of them harshly punished, are now being essentially totally ignored and even nullified through various legal and legislative gaslighting; civil asset forfeiture being of course only the most commonly known perversion of the most basic and fundamental concepts of civilization and basic logic.
Even worse than that, the ants know nothing about the ocean and fish nor space and the moon. Those things are not even near their scope, even if they are aware of us. What about math? And time (time keeping and calendars, tenses)? What about music and art? The ants are simply not able to comprehend any of it.

So if we are like ants in the universe, then the reality we are in is probably insanely complex - we are just interacting with the little slice of it we can interpret, just like the ants.

If you write the combination for your safe on a post-it note and stick it to the door of the safe, and a thief opens the safe and steals everything in it, it's still the thief's fault.

But it's not victim-blaming to observe that you shouldn't have made it so easy for the thief.

If it's just your valuables that get stolen, then that's unfortunate for you, but at least it doesn't hurt anyone else.

But when other people trust you to keep the safe secure, and are hurt because of your negligence, then it's also not victim-blaming to observe that your negligence caused harm to other people.

Except it’s not novel and it came from strategy consulting decades ago (the Zachman framework in particular, which was popular at IBM in the 80s). In fact it’s one of the main methods of describing an architecture framework, and a methodology I use daily doing EA / strategy consulting.

Consultants are everywhere in the military. Especially the business / strategy / org behavior types. Anything the military does will have been done a hundred times before in industry — the military just needs it at goliath scale.

Libertarianism is a manufactured ideology to suit the billionaire class, the aspiring billionaires, and those with privilege to usurp the social contract with hyperindividualism and rejection of collective duty.

Ultimately, libertarianism is a utopian anarchist fantasy promoted by Koch/Cato that doesn't scale.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and the next place, oblige it to control itself.

I would love to be proved wrong on this, but most of the startups that are focused on:

- Observability

- Security / Compliance

Seem like they're plays by the founders to get acquired by bigger firms (either for acqui-hire or just to augment their own "observability and/or security" offering).

I would be very curious to see a company that really make it big and remain independent in this area. It seems to me like DataDog has been the only successful company in this area, with some other honorable mentions (e.g. honeycomb.io, sentry, sensu etc.)

> Again, this seems pretty self-centred. The world is good enough to for you. you have the freedom to work on whatever you want. Don't you care that most people don't have that freedom?

Everyone in my country has the same freedoms to work whatever job they want and to have as many kids as they want. The freedoms people have in other countries is out of my control. How is that self-centered?
It’s the nature of governments and bureaucracies to try and control as much as they can. The kinds of people who draft these regulations aren’t interested in limited legislation. The United States is particularly guilty of this - we frequently demand that other countries follow our regulatory rules, especially around banking and “anti-terrorism”.

I've done some work in sports analytics for an NBA team, and while I think there is some value there, I also think that most of the low hanging fruit has already been plucked at this point. People have been pointing to the same examples of "Moneyball" in baseball, or 3-pointers in the NBA, for at least a decade at this point. The reality is that for a lot of sports, they are complex enough systems that even if insights are generated, they are complicated enough that its hard to action on them. Look at the animation of the predicted player movement on the field. Its pretty, but what can a manager or player reasonably do with that information? Not a lot. Right now, it seems like most analytics in sports are solutions looking for a problem, which is understandable so many of us in ML and statistics are sports fans. But ultimately, I don't see much impact being made, certainly not on a Moneyball-esque scale.

There are still areas where analytics will continue to be important in sports and player assessment/team composition will always heavily rely on it. However the next steps for sports analytics in my mind are things that go on behind the scenes of the sport: personal training routines for players, managing wear and tear and predicting injuries, etc.

Also, the leagues themselves have lots of room to improve their products with analytics. Many complaints have been raised (which I agree with) about how boring modern basketball/baseball has become due to analytics causing teams to converge on strategies that maximize efficiency but are also quite boring. It isn't on the players/coaches to try something more exciting at the expense of winning. It's the league's job to make the product interesting. Analytics can be part of the solution, like determining that by pushing the 3-point line out several feet, the value of the shot is brought in line with other options that simply aren't viable right now.

"From our inertial frame, the ground below us is moving toward us" makes a lot of sense to me, but doesn't seem to be quite the same as "the surface is accelerating up at you relative to the gravitational field". The former is with respect to the inertial frame of the faller(s), the latter seemingly with respect to the inertial frame of some shared gravitational field.

That said, your description does kind of explain it for me, unless I am misunderstanding, though at the moment I only get it as a "negative" argument: we are being accelerated upwards/outwards with respect to the field's reference frame, because otherwise we would be moving along our natural inertial path.

It is still a bit puzzling that if the ground disappears we appear to accelerate, whereas my current reading of what you wrote seems to imply that we would immediately return to our "inertial path".

What I'm really wondering is if all of this "acceleration relative to the field" business is a misleading abstraction, and "relative reference frames" fix it (and indeed that was my very primitive understanding of relativity). However, on balance it seems much more likely that I'm simply misunderstanding things.
