Very interesting DARPA is looking into in a modern version! I always thought, if nothing else, ekranoplan look incredible and somewhat other-worldly. Thankfully the DARPA project renderings don’t seem less weird.

Recently a Lun-class ekranoplan was stranded during a towing operation which left it open to urban explorers who took some photos, including of the inside: https://www.rferl.org/a/photographer-sneaks-inside-the-legen...

> Usually when I buy bread in the bread isle i discard all that have added sugars. But it's been getting hard recently.

Even companies that try to market their bread as healthy still add sugar but then try to imply that it is a "healthier" kind of sugar. I wrote to one about it and got this reply:

Thank you for checking in with Dave's Killer Bread about the sweetness of our bread. We use sweeteners because we find that our DKB consumers prefer a bread that is sweetened. All of our varieties are sweetened with organic dried cane syrup

So now I mostly make my own.
You're probably talking about Star Trek, but I can confirm. Me and a few friends got this (some of which with VR) and it feels like a fantastic premise, but it's very linear and it has very little content. It feels more like a demo than a full game.

Desperate for more in this genre we ended up playing a bunch of Pulsar: Lost Colony. It has a lot more depth (but can be a bit rough around the edges).

If you were correct, police departments around the world would be equally corrupt. But living in different cities and countries will quickly persuade you that's not the case.

Marginal improvements can work if the people making the improvements agree on what "improvement" is. But expecting corrupt cops to get serious about stopping corrupt cops is different. A clean slate (plus structural improvements) may be your best bet.
Theoretically it could still be done, but by doing so you completely break compatibility with any browser which doesn't support it; I'm pretty sure no non-Trident-based browser ever supported VBScript. Unless some other scripting language gains wide acceptance somehow, I'll be sticking with plain ol' JavaScript for the foreseeable future.
I find this response really intriguing.

We as citizens are perfectly capable of handling people lying to us...we do it with children, coworkers, salespeople, advertising, etc. Why is the standard response to fix the police. Obviously, they shouldn't lie, there should be consequences but the solutions don't start there.

This works because people believe cops. Reporters take police reports as truth until proven otherwise. Juries (and judges) take the word of cops over the accused. The public generally treats things said by police as correct even despite evidence to the contrary.

I would posit that we are the problem because the actions of the cops don't work unless we presume they are telling the truth.

Fix the cops, sure, of course (especially 2, disarm them). But fix our society's interaction with them as well.
How do you know the bug is unintentional?
IMO you have the wrong idea

You do not want police to be "Sociologists, and Psychologists". That is what social workers are for.

A lot of police work is drudgery. So do not ask them to all be qualified with college degrees. It should be a job any honest person can do.

I get your fed up ness with the current set up, but rethink what policing is, what it is for, and why is a better approach than to make police do even more (social work)

Here in Aotearoa the top police officer (we have a national system, generally) is big on "policing with consent". It means that the community must support the police for them to be effective.

It is a big change for us, and it may not stick. The last commissioner put paramilitary police with automatic rifles into Māori communities (poor and coloured). Not long ago teh police and "Māori gangs" would have what amounted to set piece brawls on a semi regular basis.

I still hate the fucking pigs, but I am old and grey. Perhaps the next generation will do better, here
Ah. Still, it's hard to see who got hurt by that one, given that anyone who bought Tesla hoping for a $420 exit is now sitting pretty above $700.

Following a complaint from major media companies Rogers, Bell and TVA, the Court ordered several major ISPs to block

Absolutely wild. The way I'm reading it this was not a court case where the site was sued and lost. A rights holder company filed a complaint and the court just said "sure" and ordered private companies to censor the internet. No trial, no evidence, no nothing. Holy shit.
Ooh, thanks. I have a copy of a Green Book and it's very sobering to try to plan a road trip with it. I'm excited to check out her book.
It's also a great way to fragment the ecosystem. Firefox supports micropython, Chrome supports TypeScript, Safari supports a subset of AppleScript, and suddenly a page working depends on browser and OS again. JS is a painful least common denominator that still varies too much, but at least it mostly is a common denominator.

Edit: That said, maybe webassembly is a way forward.
How does this compare with Empty Epsilon? https://daid.github.io/EmptyEpsilon/
Yes, like that! Or like Clojure. If I was targeting the JVM or CLR I’d probably use bytecode, or for Go I’d just generate ordinary source code to feed into the compiler.

It sounds a little ungainly but parsing shouldn’t be a big percent of compile times, so the overhead shouldn’t be that big. And it addresses two of the biggest issues, libraries and (current and future) platform support, things that new language adopters should legitimately be concerned about.

A lot of the most popular mobile games actually now use a similar technology. The game engine Unity converts the bytecode for game C# scripts to C++ which it can feed into the system toolchain. Even as a billion dollar company they decided it was more practical to piggyback on another language for platform support (in their case game consoles, which come with their own C++ compiler but may not be supported out of the box by other language toolchains).
This problem looks really familiar to me. I went to an experimental elementary school - actually a large-scale psych experiment run by psychologists - where these kinds of NP-hard problems were parceled out in each class to supposedly find the most talented students, and where the problems ranged from those with geometric or visual solutions to purely mathematical ones (some of which even the teachers couldn't solve). It's impressive (if true, which I doubt) that the child wrote NP-COMPLETE on the paper. And I wouldn't argue it's good exercise for a child's mind to try to solve things like this; in fact, an 8-year-old may be a lot faster at doing it than any known algorithm, for reasons we don't fully understand. But in fact these tests had nothing to do with getting the answer right. No one expects them to get it right. It's a way of measuring whether or not a child becomes frustrated with hard problems - or whether they try to do all the math one step at a time - or whether they try to invent some logic to solve them. Technically, mathematically, whatever shortcut they invent to solve can't possibly shortcut the NP-Hard nature of the problem, but the array of ways they'll come up with to try to do that is what's fascinating.

This is a trading window that's apparently closed right?

Check your employment agreement, stock trading policy and options agreement. I would expect the trading policy to apply to employees only, and may not apply to you after you leave employment.

Also, a trading policy probably prohibits buying or selling shares during a closed window, but exercising options for cash (well usually a check) isn't really buying shares. The trading window protects the company from having to investigate (some) insider trading incidents and exercising options with inside information might affect taxes, but wouldn't affect other investors.

Your options agreement should indicate how to exercise them; if the amount you think this is worth isn't enough to justify a lawyer, you should follow the exercise instructions and document thoroughly. Something like mailing a check, addressed to the Tresurer, certified return receipt. Then they've got to do something with the check.

To be clear, have you left yet?

~20bn sounds about right. 9! * 4^9 / 4 ~ 23.8bn. Divide by 4 due to rotational symmetry.

I used to do this many years ago with Polaroid types 105 and 55 film. It's 4x5 film and it works in almost any 4x5 camera. It develops instantly and you get both a B&W print and a high-quality B&W negative from a single exposure. No darkroom needed. It was awesome. No idea if it's still available but I hope it is. Might be time to revisit that hobby.
It doesn't. If you want something closer to Artemis, try EmptyEpsilon.
I quit coffee New Years and the reason was I was drinking it with a teaspoon of sugar and throughout the day would have about 5 cups like this. Being 240 days into the year I have cut out 1200 teaspoons of sugar from my diet by cutting coffee. I would like to cut out other sugars as well but find it extremely difficult to get ride of things like chocolate.

What about the DRAM interface?

On x86 platforms, that is usually initialised by the BIOS (which also does things like memory testing.) On Apple's ARM platforms, I'm not really familiar with how boot works but I believe they have an equivalent firmware to handle that.
"This smells to me like a myth spread by prison staff to explain away false positives and/or discourage drug smuggling."

This. There are no super scanners that detect drug reside in prisons or jails. There are occasionally dogs though. Dogs will catch if you handled old school drugs (coke,heroin,etc). If a dog alerts on you - the guards know something is up. But that doesn't mean there is enough evidence on you for an arrest. Often jails/prisons will round up a shift of guards and let the dogs smell around - this catches a few bad guards occasionally. Recently, things have changed. Right now the big issue in jails/prisons is fentanyl - it is difficult to train k9s on fentanyl due to it's handling - and there are not enough k9s or departments that can do it (since it is so dangerous). Good luck finding 25 micrograms in mail or on visitors.
This reminds me of the stone “pillows” Egyptians and Mesopotamian cultures used.

I rather like my soft pillow and have a hard time imagining using a hard ceramic/stone pillow. But these ancient civilizations did it, some for thousands of years. Maybe there is something to it and it isn’t as uncomfortable as it seems?
But it's that silence which deceives the user into thinking that the message never arriving is a technical malfunction and not intentional censoring. How many times, do you think the user would see the censoring message and be cool with it? Maybe once or twice, then they will stop using FB likely forever and tell all their friends. But does FB want that? Hell no, they want to retain the user for data collection and ad showing purposes. So how about just not showing the censoring message, make the user believe there was just a technical glitch and not insidious shadowbanning?

I think this "bug" is intentional and done for plausible deniability in case of a lawsuit: "See, there is transparence. It was just a bug in the code. Human error."
"to make it so fat people and sedentary people can start paying their fair way" You can make people pay for added sugar in the food but not for them being fat. That is discriminating. BTW you don't know if a fat person is in bad or good health based on her/his overall shape.

No, if there was a preponderance of scientific evidence, I'd accept it of course, but the alternative sweetener story isn't like that. There are papers out there on almost any topic with all sorts of results, many of which don't generalize, don't transfer, don't reproduce, or otherwise don't have the meaning they might point to if you guessed the implications.

I've checked out Vega strike off and on again over the years. It always looked interesting but it always seemed like one of those early access, coming soon games that never arrived.

I'll admit, it's been at least 3 or 4 years since I last checked it out but after nearly a decade of waiting for something that resembled a full game I kind of gave up.

I might give it another try though now that I've seen this to see what's changed. it has been a few years now.

That's an absurd false dichotomy. We don't need to choose between being okay with banks discriminating in all circumstances and discriminating in no circumstances. If you support banks serving the Proud Biys are you okay with them serving Jihadi terrorist groups and autocratic dictators? Porn isn't trying to establish a white ethnostate.

I am not trying to excuse bad policing but in the US this is a chimera.

You have the police, some are corrupt, some are a bad fit for the job, some are lazy and stupid, and some are run-down and underpaid.

You have prosecutors making their careers on win/loss records and being tough on crime so they can make judge or DA. Ibid for politicians with tough on crime, drugs, etc.

You have the prison system which has become big business, exploiting prisoners, their families, the legal system, and taxpayers. They do nothing to offer a real chance at reform, are dangerous and breed more hardcore criminals and victims.

You have the media which at it's mildest still runs with "if it bleeds it leads", middle of the road "true crime" podcasts and series, and at it's most exploitive preys on scaring the shit out of people (nancy grace is a good example) that 'the bad men are coming for your daughters' and we have to absolutely destroy criminals at all costs.

Then there is the populace who under no circumstances will forgive or trust anyone (background checks, public offender lists, mugshots) who has been convicted of a crime (really in the US these days you don't even need to be convicted, just accused of certain crimes and it is a defacto life sentence).

I am not saying policing shouldn't be reformed but that is one small step in fixing a very large problem but it is a very convenient target to lay all the blame on, and it feels good and just because it is an easy answer that is popular because in the US we are really all culpable.
If you try sending RF power to LSI-scale antennas, the LSI-scale signal wires near them will be antennas too.
it's not irrelevant because the number of cars on the road is so low. If we had tens of millions instead of a few hundred or thousand of these on the road, and you roll out an update that makes the car drive over small kids in green t-shirts then you have a big problem in a very short time. Correlated error is a big problem when combined with tail risk, which you simply cannot see right now due to how limited the use of the technology is.
I will admit that I fantasize about having a signal jammer every time someone on a phone nearly crushes me on my bike.
For sure. Although i think most people with enough radio knowledge to even go down this path also know how trivial it is to track down the source of interference, even for an amateur with cost-next-to-nothing gear.

Is that supposed to be clever? I was making the point that our "survival of the fittest" narrative is the result of a specific social and economic system, not an inherent part of life. The distinction between "taking" in a negotiation and "creating" within a negotiated labor contract is trivial.
"So how do I install this game?"

"It's really simple! Here's a specific sequence of 21 shell commands that may or may not work, and is certainly incomplete, and you have to modify some of the source of course, we don't say how but don't worry it is really easy, oh and it won't work on these systems, just hack it until it works. Heh, of course you already have a compiler, why would we even mention it. Then do these 8 shell commands that we really hope will work. And then you get a text-mode menu in your shell, that's the game."

Just in case anyone is wondering why it isn't the year of Linux on the desktop yet.

I'm not sure why you're finding this particularly doubt-wowrthy. Tesla autopilot doesn't have the most amazingly clean history - particularly when it comes to this exact sort of situation. It does not handle stationary obstacles in a lane very well. It's even been a somewhat popular topic recently.
I like the concept, but most people don’t want heavy, thick laptops because they’re not very portable. I imagine most people would be happy to have a more sustainable laptop, but it’s not a reason for a non-tech-savvy person to get one. That leaves this to a pretty niche audience, so I don’t agree that it’s the future unfortunately.

Plus, Apple’s strategy is very sustainable from a business point of view. And in capitalism, that’s all that matters, unfortunately :/ But I like the idealism of laptops like this and framework, so I hope to get one in the future.
It really isn't. Cheating with cell phones is the same as cheating with a note card except the quality of information.

They aren't less or more detectable than other forms of cheating so there's no need to specifically target phones. Teachers just need to continue doing what they've been doing for decades, looking for cheaters.

Supermarkets generally refuse to stock coffee with a listed roast date. If you live near one which does allow that, that's the exception.
It's bigger than that.

So first off, just about all of these artificial sweeteners are like 200x sweeter than sugar or higher. This kind of means that you have high amplification which comes with distortion—artificial sweeteners do not taste like the real thing. So those chemical aftertastes are probably the biggest contributors to skepticism.

Second, the most common artificial sweetener right now is aspartame, and it is kinda nasty stuff. Don't take my word for it, drink a Diet Coke that's about 1 week before expiration and see if you can stomach it—it's foul. That foulness is the metabolites of aspartame, I want to say one of them is formaldehyde? They are pretty nasty and you do produce them after drinking a Diet Coke, they appear in urine afterwards. The aspartame also bears a cryptic warning for people with phenylketonuria, and it might legit make consumers feel worse, as in reduce their serotonin and dopamine and make them more irritable.

The only silver lining on this cloud is that because this stuff is 200 times sweeter than sugar, you actually only get a very low dosage per each individual beverage. Because of that very low dosage, we are thankfully not seeing huge epidemiological problems from it yet. But yeah, a combination of nothing tasting right and the poster-child being awful is a decent recipe for conspiracy theories.
