No, it was so Americans could overthrow the government if necessary: https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed46.asp

From the Federalist No. 46:

> Extravagant as the supposition is, let it however be made. Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most inclined to deny the possibility of it.

> Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.

Great idea. I would definitely use this if it could talk to an LDAP server
It feels like most of the recent fascination with drones is due to overlap with civilian off-the-shelf technology and the fantasy of being able to buy something that could potentially go toe to toe with advanced militaries. When in fact, militaries have always had "aerial munitions with varying degrees of intelligence and maneuverability and propulsion methods selected based on speed/maneuverability/range tradeoffs." An off the shelf quadcoptor is as far from military weaponry as a hand calculator is from a supercomputer even if they're both calculating machines.

It's weird seeing this fascination with drones yet not seeing an analogous fascination for Toyota trucks.

No. You can roll indefinitely.
That is the historical context, but not the purpose. You can have your own theories, but SCOTUS has ruled on this in DC vs Heller.
I claimed nothing. I only establish I have some control over my politicians, and zero control over billionaires.
That's what the third-party doctrine is. It is a legal way to circumvent the fourth amendment.
Isn’t that generally a problem where people get slammed with huge tax bills on stock they aren’t able to sell and may not have the cash available to pay?

Am I missing something? This is a reply to that article, which is linked in the embedded tweet in this article.
Wouldn't it be a mess? 'Reddit translates Netflix'? I see what your saying about 'crowd verification', but how do you filter out 'upvoted for lolz'?

There are things you could do of course, I just don't think it's trivial.
Why is this being flagged? It raises many valid points against Propublica's article which was more misleading than this piece or its title.
> There are some very good open source tools (like Magic layout system) but they are good because the developers also use those tools.

Sorry, the Magic layout system is NOT a good tool.

It has a lousy DRC/extraction system based on corner stitching which requires that everything be lambda-based rectangles. Ever seen a professional VLSI layout person use rectangles?--they almost never do. There's a good reason why they use paths.

Good layout systems also link the schematic and layout in real-time. A lot of PCB systems even do this now.

I can go on and on and on about Magic. None of it is good.
A more meaningful questions is: do you trust governments to provide services fairly and with accountability?

Framing the question in terms of politicians redistributing money sounds like an attempt to use base emotions to reach a foregone conclusion. I would like to think that framing the question in terms of governments providing services encourages people to examine how governments work and what they actually have to offer. In other words: you are welcome to debate the mechanisms of government in providing fair and accountable services. (Of course, it could just be that I am exhibiting a bias in the other direction.)

Aha! I was too removed from the infrastructure then. All I knew was that SNMP metrics showed up in our telemetry system, and we got a set of standard metrics to look into. Our platform team took care of having sampling agent in place. I didn't know the protocol was about querying instead of sampling.
The vulnerabilities of the plain old spinning disk meter may have been bad but they couldn't be exploited remotely from someone else's house.

Yes, granularity of the measurements IS a problem. If these things only reported the readings when I pressed a button, I would not be so concerned about privacy (that is if the companies could prove to me that the meters did not report the readings outside of these times).
> in western Wyoming, BTNF officials reported the discovery of 21 abandoned campfires that were still too hot to touch on the forest over the Memorial Day weekend

Yes, they absolutely can. Like with any surveillance technology, there are things you can do to obfuscate your patterns, but that doesn't mean that a broad rollout of the technology won't have a negative privacy impact on most customers.
The sorta bigger half here is that it allows plants to grow in more locations than with lower CO2 levels, because plants can photosynthesize while using less water than before (they need to expose themselves to the atmosphere less).

Which is why you more often see stuff like deserts greening when they were dead before. The Amazon rainforest isn't going to 2x in height.
This is true. It's not universal, though, because some plant growth is not primarily gated by CO2 availability -- e.g., in drier climates.
I (and many in science) switched from C/PDL/IDL to Python in last 10 years because it was is the best tool, not for zealotry.

Python vs Perl for science has nothing to do with c/c++/fortran. C/C++/fortran have their own place for science computations. Perl does not.
For anything involving any kind of numerics Python will be faster/better tested/will have more libraries/will have better visualisation capabilities, so there is no need for perl.

Sure if you are only working with strings, you can use perl, but that's hardly scientific computing (not at least the field that I work in).
Compared to the seriousness of the problem I don't think it's extreme, but I also don't think it's quite the right approach. Instead of telling people to drive less, or eat less, or not heat their homes in the winter (which isn't going to work), we can transition away from fossil fuel energy as fast as we can and replace it with renewables.

My usual (U.S. centric) suggestions when this topic comes up are to greatly expand solar and wind energy production, finance transcontinental high-voltage DC lines so that we can trade power with Africa/Asia/Europe and even out the day/night imbalance (we can keep fossil fuel plants around as an emergency backup and just not use them), electrify the interstate freeway system so that EVs can charge without stopping and make cross-country road trips without having to haul around huge batteries, and we should expand EV tax credits to cover conversions of existing vehicles as well as new vehicles.

We also need more battery production, especially of technologies like lithium iron phosphate (or whatever replaces it in the future) which are good enough and aren't bottlenecked on expensive materials like cobalt and nickel.

None of these things require people to change their behavior, though it would help if they did. It's probably also not enough to save us from pretty severe climate problems in the future, but at this point I think that's more-or-less unavoidable so we should just do the best we can right now.
I see what you mean. For that I would use a CSS custom property:

.rotatable {
transform: rotate(var(--rotation-angle));
}

...and set it directly with JavaScript

document
.querySelector('.rotatable')
.style.setProperty(
'--rotation-angle',
`${angle}deg`,
);
That doesn't hold up, because an ISP can ban you for any reason they want. It has nothing to do with interacting with other people.
Why do you want to control someone else?
I am convinced they are making the website as bad as possible in order to push people to the app.

The mobile site stops working every 10 minutes or so, or whenever I lock my phone and reopen it.
This is why things like the NY Stock Transaction Tax rebate should be repealed and expanded. And why we need property taxes to apply to these financial holdings. There is currently too much untaxable property that will never be cycled through the economy in a way that allows them to be properly taxed. Propublica's framing is still wrong.
It's a real shame that you're not allowed to freely transport lifesaving medications across borders.
Video discovery in itself is not monopolyish either. It is the vertical integration of video hosting + video discovery that makes the monopoly.

Hence the solution being a break up; separate youtube-the-video-hosting-infra from youtube-the-recommendation-engine, allow market access to infra, allow competition on video discovery.
> there's a lot more flexibility available if you choose to use classes

That is simply not true. Apart from what was described in the post above, in JSS frameworks such as styled-components, you usually have ways to hook directly into css parser, allowing you to implement custom expansions, replacements or basically whatever logic you want. This is not possible unless you write your own language and transform it to css.

There are many engineers who do super-boring stuff as main work, working on mind-bogglingly hard problems afterhours.

Also that weather-widget engineer could do some basic tasks offloading more experienced engineer, who would offload even more experienced engineer until that chain of offloading makes enough time for NTFS-ninja to hunt down and fix that bug or write a fuzzer that finds new zero-days.

The big benefit imo is the load smoothing; statewide, power is cheaper and cleaner than it would otherwise have been.

Right now it’s factories and a few early adopters like me, but anyone can sign up for it and it’s substantially cheaper assuming you don’t mind turning things off at peak times.
+1000 to focus on mobile first. Totally understandable :)

That being said, I think "more gated and complicated process" are the key here. Guess it's easy for web/backend developers to hold to the key and deploy as they see needed.

But for mobile, there are typically only a small set of gatekeeper at the entire company had the key to publish a new release to AppStore/PlayStore. Thus the more process is required.
Right, the business and politics parts are orthogonal to the engineering or programming parts. They are general facts of life you can't escape regardless of your vocation.
I am disabled and I was considering growing my own medicine in the event of losing job or not having funds for filling my prescription any more - hopefully that will never happen, but knowing that I have a smart meter, that would add a lot of anxiety that I don't need.

Why would you assume that increasing the effect of something by orders of magnitude is harmless? Chugging 1 glass of water is great, but 100 will kill you; the only difference is a matter of degree.

A spinning meter can be manually checked to find out if someone is on vacation, but doing that is slow and isn't very worthwhile for criminals. Being able to monitor 100,000 meters at once for empty homes might suddenly be very economical for criminals.
I think, if that happened, perceived trolling is the more appropriate interpretation of what happened there to Christine. You're acting angry and critical whereas in reality we should be focused on solving problems and building community to make things good for everyone.
You haven't really shown how speaking improves your understanding or comprehension of a language.

Of course you need to speak to get good at speaking, I don't think that's what the original poster meant. But rather that you should focus on comprehension initially,because there's not really much point to speaking to someone if you don't know what you want to say and cannot understand the response.

The article says "1", because human language is different than bird language. So therefore all human language is the same.

I am not sure why I ( or you for that matter ) am forced to defend my stance on privacy by listing things I want to stay private. The objection is that I do not want to have my every move monitored with ever-increasing accuracy.

This seems to be an annoying issue. Any serious proponent of privacy is already taking steps to hold on its vestiges, which include not taking a public stance on it.

Ok, the question you proposed to answer in your previous comment was “Are the rich evading taxes?” which I took to mean the public should be assessing the current legality of what individual rich people are doing.

Various tax strategies can be and are made public without needing to dox anyone. We are currently debating about them right now. So what do we gain by opening up everyone to identity theft and fraud?

Power consumption correlated with commercial breaks tells you what show somebody is watching. Power consumption correlated with 9-5 tells you if somebody is working from home. Power consumption correlated with a specific time in the morning tells you when somebody wakes up and subsequently turns the heat on. Lower power consumption over several days tells you when somebody is on vacation.

Are these relatively minor invasions of privacy compared to what advertising companies perform? Yes. But that's no reason to pretend that they aren't privacy-hostile moves on their own.
What's your personal 'true' tax rate? Taxes paid divided by all income and all gains (unrealized capital gains, increase in real estate value, etc...).

I'm sure you don't know. No one knows or has a frame of reference. It was chosen to emphasize the narrative. It's like comparing the carbon/waste from mining, manufacturing, delivery and use of a electric car vs. the carbon from burning a tank of gas -- and saying "ah ha! the total lifetime of an EV is worse for the environment than driving around town in a gas car"
Does anyone know who the author, "Jeremy Arnold" is, and what the "Save Journalism Committee" is and who backs them? Their about page doesn't say who they are:

Also, why should I or do you trust them over ProPublica? These ranting-style articles are written as if the author possesses the Truth, but analogous to the XKCD about technical standards, all we have is one more point of view.

To me, at this point in Internet history, the ranting, ridiculing style is a strong negative signal. Also, criticism of Silicon Valley billionaires seems to draw responses that try to discredit the news media. (I always wonder: Where then do they get news?)

Ignoring the effects on natural biodiversity, I think letting it happen would actually be less of an issue for humans. It's not that expensive to build seawalls around coastal cities. Crops will be grown further north and crops will grow more easily in higher CO2.

On the other hand, stopping it would basically involve a war on developing countries to forcibly prevent them from developing further. Most developed countries have already leveled off their CO2 emissions or are headed downward.

Increased CO2 will harm the developing world more than anywhere else, but those places are also the least interested in putting in the effort to stop the effects.

I'm surprised the digital version is a PDF instead of EPUB etc. Surprising decision.
The initial alpha (beta?) release of the project was scheduled for public review, but the developer was accepting payments for early access. I won't comment on the state of the release that some people paid for.

The devs seem to have made a few enemies. Devs of other small projects, specifically Nim and Zig aren't fans of V to say the least. Nim devs allege that the V project has made defamatory remarks about their project. Zig developer, Andrew Kelly, also had some things to say about V. [0],[1]

There have been numerous occasions of the V dev deleting criticism.

There are claims that the V project has been buying stars on github.

The project makes very bold claims about the feature set while not having actually implemented said features.

There is a popular set of blog posts that dives into the issues with claims vs reality [2],[3],[4]

My opinion is that I do find it disingenuous, and borderline scammy, to accept donations and at the same time claim V can do the things it claims. Ultimately, I think the dev is just not great at managing expectations. I highly doubt any of it is malicious intent. Also, somewhere in one of these, Andrew retracts his accusation of fraud, due to the V devs updating the advertised capabilities of the project.

> how would you assess back pressure for I/O ops on SSDs or disks

I am not attempting to do anything like this. The back pressure is an inherent property of the ring buffer abstraction I have selected for serializing transactions.

Batch size is effectively determined by how long the previous batch takes to complete. So, if one batch takes a little while, but is not at RingBufferMaximum, the next batch will be a bit larger (assuming constant system load), thus extracting a little bit more uplift from the benefits of running everything on hot cache lines. The maximum size of the ring buffer prevents things from getting out of control. You simply test for the best batch size and set that as the max for the buffer.

Best case scenario, your system is fully loaded and slamming through 4k+ batch sizes all day long. Worst case, you are doing a transaction per IO. I.e., what everyone else on earth is doing right now.
