Cars are too slow, airplanes too inconvenient, long-distance high-speed rail too expensive.

Why not all three?

Ground-effect airplanes should only take about 4x more energy than a car at the same speed, the track is just cement or even dirt, they're not useful for terrorism, no pilot needed, and they could even be powered electrically if they make stops every hour or two. You could drive onto a carrier and fly at 200 mph to your destination.

Basically a slow hyperloop, but you don't need a vaccuum or anything high tech at all. I've asked about this before and nobody has explained why it wouldn't work - maybe it's so obvious it goes without saying.

edit: hills could be made more flat but surely would be less problematic than for a train where the track must be almost totally flat, any small object or animal could be flown over maybe even trading speed for height, more energy intensive than high speed rail but construction and maintenance far less so. We can make a computer control system for F-117 but we can't control ground effect? These don't sound like carefully considered objections.

This kind of flexibility is one of the advantages of consulting/freelancing. Obviously the career security aspect is different, but in a hot hiring market there isn't a shortage of opportunities. I know several people who, as they got to more senior levels, decided to work 50% of the time for roughly 60% of their previous salary.
That requires you to have that kind of data. The company could have be operating legally and not have compromising stuff. The ransomware team gains nothing if a company refuses to pay and has everything to lose by hacking. If there price is to high they are taking on a lot of risk for no reason. Hacks are smart people (I find breaking the law to be a bad decision but if one does it knowing the consequences and mitigations then they aren't dumb just unethical)
I disagree, looking at the extremes is often used as a scare tactic against certain changes. We can also say that if we tax work 100% nobody would work.

The point of the OP was that work is generally more valuable to society than capital gains, but is taxed higher so there is a mismatch between the worth and how we tax it. Saying if we tax capital gains 100% nobody invests, does not add anything to the discussion as the same argument applies to work.
What do you define as "book reading posture"? Book at eye level, arms holding it up?

I bought a (admittedly Tokina) 500mm mirror lens more than a decade ago. It was the worst lens I have ever bought, blurry across the whole picture. I could get more detail out of my 70-300mm zoom lens, and much more detail out of my 400mm prime. To this day I don't know whether this was because the lens was awful, because all mirror lenses are awful, or because my lens just needed maintenance.
Fiat-Chrysler was in the past a large purchaser of Tesla CO2 credits. I haven't followed the news, so I don't know if that is still the case. CO2 credits are a thing in Europe, though.
> the most severe attacks require HTTP

Well, for the services that use HTTP, anyway - there's still a lot of non-HTTP traffic out there like SMTP and DNS. Devices still use SNMP, too, and often connect over wifi.
I did one of those chopper tours over a big city one time in a splurge. Yeah, I hear ya.

I was surprised at how similar the feel is. Your bicycle analogy made me laugh -- spot on. I used to love taking my macho friends up in my dad's plane. There's this moment after take-off where my Dad will comment on "how smooth the air is" ... it's either "perspective" or a pilot joke, I'm not sure, because said "smooth air" is about as bad as reasonable air-turbulence on a jet and the flight is usually marked occasionally by the kind of turbulence that would have the overhead bins tossing luggage onto passengers. I recall a humorous incident where my buddy Tim dropped an F-bomb over a hot mic on the headset when we got smacked sideways.
That is an acceptable outcome. Let the victims suffer. That protects the rest of us, and serves as an object lesson in proper cyber security.
About your second point:

This is kind of partly true. The track in Connecticut in particular is bad enough that you really need new right-of-way as opposed to fixing individual curves here and there (which is the situation for the rest of the NEC). Alon has favored a new right-of-way that's basically right next to I-95 for as much as possible, which minimizes the takings you need between New Rochelle and New Haven. East of New Haven, there's far less density, and it's pretty easy to make a new right-of-way wherever you want to.

The other issue in Connecticut is that, even on the existing right-of-way, Amtrak isn't able to utilize the available speed capacity of the current right-of-way. This is due to Metro North intentionally slowing Amtrak trains down for its commuter rail schedule instead.
Italy also ranks between Grenada and Saudi Arabia in terms of corruption.

But not in the blockchain sense. All those forks aren't independently contributing to a single source of truth in a peer-to-peer manner.

In practice, those forks generally serve one of two purposes. Either they're for working separately on changes that you intend to submit upstream to the agreed-upon central repository, or you're intending to legitimately fork the project and create your own new central repository that's relatively independent of the original.

Despite from the fact that, thanks to our industry's love for overloading technical jargon, we happen to use the word "distributed" to describe both use cases, they're really quite different in practice.
> This is also an unrepeatable experiment

This frustrates any discussion about the pandemic and government response (and more broadly practically any question about govt policy & history), namely that these assertions always resort to counterfactuals.

So what happened and what could have happened with different policies is essentially unfalsifiable.
One of the things that so many HSR enthusiasts seem to get wrong about HSR is expectations about non-stop trains between major cities. Successful systems either don't have them at all, or they are extremely limited. Certainly you can do non-stop trains, but the systems that do non-stop trains are all massive money losers.

This idea is always met with extreme incredulousness about it because it violates their intuition. "You have to go as fast as possible or it won't compete well with air travel! If I have to stop in Merced for 5 minutes to let a handful of people on or off, I'd rather just fly".

The problem is that those handfuls of people, the result of the potential travel between the cartesian product of dozens of cities, adds up. There are number of trade publications that have analyzed passenger patterns on successful systems and have found that the ridership exclusively between major terminal stations typically accounted for ~50% of total ridership, and less than 50% of total revenue. Smaller hops have higher prices and better market penetration because they aren't served by air travel and therefore have no competition. Larger hops between major cities have lower prices simply because they have to compete with air travel. Even in a "perfect" world with non-stop trains, HSR is still going to lose some traffic to air travel, and they won't have all of that massive supplementary revenue from intermediate destination travel.

Unfortunately, the idea that we should build a system that isn't optimized for them just doesn't resonate with people. And since high speed rail is now a partisan issue, and those same parties have a sharp urban rural divide, we get two camps: 1) democratic voters that want high speed rail, but lose interest when experts say that there need to be lots of intermediate stops, and 2) rural voters who don't want high speed rail, even though they would benefit from it greatly, because "socialism". And because of it, I believe American HSR is doomed. It will either get built and lose massive amounts of money, or it won't get built at all.

... but what if I don't want to gamble?

It's not like buying an item at retail can enforce a "terms of service" like a EULA

I'm free to ignore a box if it's dented or damaged. Weighing it to see if it's missing parts (like a return) is perfectly reasonable.

How is that any different?

Your position is ridiculous; if the manufacturer wanted to enforce randomness then they'd need to make the retail units all weigh the same.
Current non-Tesla car makers are massively undervalued because:

- they have a massive amount of debt

- (many of them but not all) have a poor gross margin

- EVs are an existential threat that will likely destroy a couple of them, we just don't know which ones yet.

Any car maker that gets past all three points above AND has a VW or Toyota like market share AND has a substantial growth rate in its profit margin will likely have a trillion dollar market cap as long as we are still in a cheap capital market.

That's a lot of if's for anybody, including Tesla. And Tesla with a market cap of $1T in a decade is basically just keeping up with inflation, so not a great investment even if there weren't any risks.

Transportation and energy are both trillion dollar markets. They can support trillion dollar market caps.

But trillion dollar caps require Apple levels of profit risk, not car manufacturer levels of risk.
The ransomware typically has both the encrypter and decryptor built in.

It's a simple matter of copy-pasting the key into a box, and the decryption will happen.

Over a slow network link (like a VPN to a remote NAS), I could totally imagine it taking days/weeks/months to scan every file though...
seems a little goofy to put credits at the top and not in order of size like the rest of the chart, but that's my only criticism. It does a good job illustrating that the fact that profit ~= credits is largely coincidental
It'd be interesting to see if Tesla can revoke the auto drive license from his car. I wonder if they have some terms in the EULA permitting that.

If I were Tesla I'd suggest it to the court as an appropriate "punishment" so it was clear it was at the court's orders.

> The point of the product is to gamble

You know that, and I know that, but legal weenies and regulators go to great pains to make it clear that it's not gambling, as do defenders of the "sport". And to be clear I love me some MtG, so I am not criticizing the model or the industry.

That said, if weighing the packs as a viable strategy became common knowledge and is even a marginally reliable method for gaming the system, then there would be a solid case to be made that the companies that produce that these cards need explicit countermeasures to prevent that strategy.

If they don't, and there is a real secondary market, then there is nothing stopping an FLGS from selling individual packs from a box after having weighed all of the packs. The only way to protect yourself from the game being rigged would be to buy guaranteed unopened boxes.
How to extract data observability metrics from Snowflake
Any idea when reviewers will get their hands on it? It'd be nice to have some reviews prior to pre-orders going out.
From what I’ve read and come to understand, NFTs may one day become meaningful if they are legally recognized as a claim to ownership. Then, they can serve as a decentralized, easily sold form of copyright. To sell IP for example now, you need a bunch of lawyers and everything is all on paper anyways. There’s nothing tangible to exchange; it’s all dependent on contracts, lawyers. NFTs could expedite this process according to people whom I’ve asked what possible usefulness NFTs could have.
I don't see how my statement is defeatist. I'm not saying not to try. I'm asking if people care. I am also saying that I fear it will be ignored. These can be valid statements while still striving to create that change. Really, if one is serious about making that change, then it would be wise to acknowledge the issues preventing them from reaching their goal.
Regardless, I do not think it was worth a barrage of down votes, as the majority of recipes are in fact written by women.
That's assuming you have in motion insurance on your aircraft. I don't on my 152, the plane is worth so little we'd cover the airframe cost in 7 years of insurance payments.
Can you please ensure that you support Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS)[1] i.e ensure your vendors support it.

Edit: Bit more rant about LVFS goodness

Even my Logitech 2.4 Ghz receiver gets regular updates on LVFS, can't remember it happening even with official Logitech SW on Mac/Windows. LVFS fixes the embedded controller security/bugs mess. A functional laptop like Framework when released with first class support for Linux features like LVFS can add more value to the customer.

I am curious what your thoughts are on other commenters making as if it is possible to prevent these types of attacks by just taking security 'more seriously'. My guess is that you know that no matter how much is spent with a large entity and many employees it's near impossible to prevent this type of attack. People make mistakes people are easily fooled people don't follow what they are told to do and so on.

I can't even begin to imagine the amount of people that could cause an issue in the size company you are a CISO at.
My guess would be that only in the worst scenarios does a collision involve a full-impact. In most cases I would expect either or both pilots to be taking avoiding action so that you might get some more minor scrapes which allow you to limp home.
It is partly an intent issue. If you are attempting to pull one over on Apple by hiding app behavior during review, well, they are not going to be happy about that.

Other folks are also noting that, because humans are sometimes bad at evaluating each others' intent, it is probably a good idea to attempt to make one's intent clear if going this route, lest you annoy the gatekeeper.
Congrats on the launch, looks great! Couple of questions:

1. Do you support localization?

2. Do you think there is a benefit to using this in addition to a headless CMS that is already managing authored content?

Let me know when cars stop you from deliberately hitting someone. I'd buy that too. Again, the argument above was not that the car should provide assistive technology (collision avoidance is a totally a thing), but that they should prevent a malicious driver from doing anything harmful.
ORMs have nothing to do with DDD, they merely provide objects which map to your database tables.
The crux of DDD is to model your application in a domain centric way, what that means is using domain concepts in your business objects instead of just getters and setters.

One of the most important things is separating your domain from infrastructure and the ui around it.
This can be achieved in a variety of ways, with and without an orm.
DDD encourages application designers to start with the domain first, and build the infrastructure and ui around it later on. It changes the language we speak of during designing application, instead of asking whether to use SQL or NoSQL say, you design your domain first + the operations around it and afterwards think about what's the ideal infrastructure to use.
A transcription factor gene regulatory network is much more likely to arise through gene duplication and upstream transposon insertions than by random mutation - especially in plants and animals, which have long generation times, low population sizes, and proofreading processes to suppress point mutations, while also facilitating gene duplication via sexual recombination. Eukaryotes have also evolved chromatin accessibility restrictions to control not just expression but evolvability of DNA regions. Point mutations on their own don't seem like a plausible mechanism for the level of plasticity exhibited in plant and animal genomes.

Brief quote from the conclusions:

> The use of blockchain technology is still in its early stages, but it is built on widely understood and sound cryptographic principles. Currently, there is a lot of hype around the technology, and many proposed uses for it. Moving forward, it is likely that the hype will die down, and blockchain technology will become just another tool that can be used.

Then there is a fairly large paragraph about limitations and choosing the right tool for the job rather than just trying to shoehorn blockchain in for its own sake.

> The point of the product is to gamble, not to determine in advance which one has the best outcome or odds.

The manufacturer’s goal is to leverage the addictive behavior associated with gambling to get money while not being restricted in market reach (as to venues, eligible purchasers) or profits by regulations and taxes targeting gambling, sure.

That’s not the buyer’s goal, though, and I see no reason that the manufacturer’s buyer-hostile attempt to hack around laws designed to protect against and provide resources to mitigate exactly the kind of predation it is engaging in deserves particular respect.

> In much the same way that a casino won't let you hover around and count cards

Casinos, by law, where permitted to operate at all, in many jurisdictions wouldn’t let most of the market for the goods in question even on the floor except to make through transit, specifically to protect them from gambling.

Scientists Create the Smallest Single-Chip System to Monitor Body Processes
It should be noted that Colonial had several infosec openings at the time of the attack. While having those filled might not have prevented this attack, it also might have or at least put them in a better response position.

There are lots of infosec openings across the country but compensation doesn't seem to be rising in response. It appears that companies are fine with leaving these positions open for long periods of time. As long as the position actually exists, they're not all that concerned with filling it. This might be complacency creep. Everyone staffed up after the cluster of breaches that happened around the time of the Target and Equifax breaches. A lack of other high profile breaches or attacks might be why many companies have become lax in keeping their staffs full.
This reminds me of my grandma who claimed she could tell if a Kinder Surprise egg had a plastic toy or one of the, often more desired, figurines in it by shaking it a certain way. That always impressed me. I wonder if that's why she did it or if it was to amuse me. I miss my grandma.

I perceive them as the leaders of EV innovation, and I think their actions were in line with that, and I thought they promoted something other then BTC when they took the stance - Bitcoin just happened to be the "gold standard".

Now they back tracked showing concern for the type of energy consumption, and are looking into other cryptos that are more energy efficient, but are not dumping BTC, because maybe if BTC goes greener it'll be cool again... are they selling EVs or are they into speculative trading?

It seems based on other actual answers to my question there is only a steering wheel check.
