The DF-21 anti ship ballistic missile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DF-21), affectionately known as the "carrier killer" is capable of maneuvering on the way back down from space, at speeds of mach 5-10. The initial guidance would be through satellites and then final phase guidance through a mix of electro-optical and radar guidance. Carriers, while being fairly fast for a ship, would not have enough time to maneuver away from an incoming missile. It is thought that they might not be able to outright sink a carrier but would inflict enough damage that the carrier would need extensive repairs and be out of the fight for several months at least, and that is for the conventionally armed versions. Nuclear tipped ballistic missiles would melt the ship and anything nearby.

US anti ballistic missiles (mostly the SM-3 for naval use) have been tested against ballistic missiles but not (as far as I know) in anything other than a test environment. The launchers are mobile and stationed fairly far inland, specifically to be out of easy reach of naval force projection from a carrier group.

Source: Used to be a weapons engineer in the Dutch Navy for 14 years, have been out of it for ~5 years now though. These kind of weapons were a major driver for doctrine revisions when I left, since much of Western naval doctrines were/are based on the idea that you could have a fairly safe and unreachable "seabase" a few hundred nm from shore from which to launch assaults. These kind of very long range area denial weapons upend that thought.
The 18 hour battery life is the price you pay for at least 5x the functionality of competitors with better battery life (somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but you do realize the reason other wearables can get away with much longer battery lives is that they are capable of far less).

>> So why is Tesla being investigated for being involved in 0.25% of these crashes when they made up 3% of car sales in 2020?

> How does the proportion of sales in one year have anything to do with the proportion of crashes that involve cars on the road which were purchased at any time? Furthermore, this is Teslas on autopilot mode--not Teslas in manual driving mode

Also, a faulty design is a faulty design, regardless of the proportion of total accidents it causes. All faulty designs should be investigated. The theoretical existence of a "faultier" design isn't a get out of jail for all other designs.

Unfortunately, Tesla has a lot of apologists whose main concern seems to defend it for all criticism, even if the arguments required to do that are specious and unreasonable.
I am genuinely curious, in your experience of working with "legacy" projects, what platforms/languages, with codebases of approximately the same age/turnover/type-of-project as the Rails ones, were significantly "less shit"? You didn't answer that part! Or, I guess, you implied Django?

No, that's not it. The ruling hinges on 17 USC 111 and the use of Locast donations to expand to new markets. The judge took a narrow interpretation of the statute, saying that expansion was not part of the law, and therefore the use of donations was therefore beyond the costs of running the service, which is permitted. No ruling was made on whether Locast itself was a non-profit or not.

I think this ruling is excessively narrow, since it means that any such non-profit retransmission network would have to exist in its entirety, from the beginning, and could never increase in size (or at least could never use donations to increase in size, which is effectively the same). But it's not a profitability argument.
I can’t agree with most of the points, especially the ones relating to performance, at least as far as SDUI as a generic concept is concerned. If Judo is reinventing HTML, that’s one thing, but a sane approach to SDUI gives you native UI performance (including complex interactions and animations) with reduced network bandwidth requirements.

I understand what you mean. I'm talking about liability. Will they be able to make a revolut account? possibly (although if I remember correctly, they also had video identification, which makes it about as secure as a real bank, but let's pretend). But having an account as me and having me on hook for something are different things. Revolut doesn't allow borrowing. Most things that involve liability still have better security.
With React Native you can just use file.ios.js or file.windows.js etc if you want to do something different entirely for a platform. You can also check the platform with a function for minor adjustments. You can also handle these differences in a RN extension if they involve native code.

You can model your codebase so the function stubs are the same, but the implementation differs based on platform. So you can use it the same way in the rest of your code.

I run this setup in production and I share about 95% of code between platforms for a complex cloud storage app (file manager, uploading, etc.)

Basically isolate what's different, and abstract it to a common interface.

Essentially, it's an automated service to find all of the places where programs give you free stuff for little or no work, and then their system just watches your email and does it for you, splitting the final values in some fashion.

It really just goes to what containers are. You can think of them as at a simple level as tars of chroots you can pass around and that an ecosystem of tooling has built up around.

This allows you to easily deploy generic ones you download from the community, and since they usually ship the script that was used to build it, it's easy to extend them with your own changes by creating your own script that uses a generic public one (the base, not the script) as a starting point, allowing everyone to share work. (e.g. get an nginx container and do the small bits to customize it for you in a script, and you don't need to worry about the building or system setup of container)

In addition to the normal chroot stuff, it uses cgroups functionality on linux to constrain it even more such as limiting CPU and RAM or disk IO, and can lock down a bunch of functionality from even root inside, and you also usually have to specifically allow whatever internal ports are listening externally (and not necessarily on the same port).

So containers are what you get when you take the idea of a chroot and try to extend and build upon it towards the direction of a true virtual machine, but without going to the step of fully emulating hardware. The benefit is that they are super lightweight and can more easily share CPU and RAM. The downside is that you're exposing more of your base system kernel to it, so it's likely somewhat less secure than a true hypervisor (but very likely more secure than just running those processes on the base system).

So, now that we have a shared base of what a container is (sort of, I'm not sure enough on the specifics to assume I didn't make some missteps in that description), rootless containers extend that so that a regular system user can run a container which internally runs as root, but not the real parent system root, but it works for the container because the kernel uses namespaces to allow it. This is both cool because it allows for root to be used even less on a system and scary because as another comment in this thread noted, it exposes some kernel APIs to "root" users (run and controlled by system users) which might not normally be checked as much for security problems since you have to be root already to use them.

I can believe the bombing of the Chinese embassy was intentional. The story I have read:

Approximately 1 month prior an F-117 stealth was shot down and the USAF did not attempt to further destroy the wreckage, considering that the technology would not be of any great advantage to Russia, However, when it became clear through intelligence, that sensitive bits of the wreckage had been sold to China, for whom it would be a great advantage there was a bit of flustered panic which resulted in the bombing of the Chinese embassy and the subsequent claim it was a mistake.

I would guess the practical inconvenience. There is a much larger part of the labor force now that can work remote. And with electronic entertainment and deliverable goods, the burden of a lockdown is much less on much more people than 100 years ago.

https://signal.org/docs/specifications/x3dh/

The Signal protocol, which is the one all the big service providers are licensing for the instant messaging encryption part of their service offering, is actually supposed to be designed for store and forward scenarios because messages can be sent when users are offline.

It is founded on Diffie-Hellman, a key exchange algorithm developed in the 1970s (the stuff in the article about PGP being developed "before we really knew anything about cryptography" seems bogus at best) that has very much managed to weather well.

I understood that elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman has been widely adopted primarily because it's just a compact way to represent the large numbers needed in order to make the key exchange process robust (I think the second coordinate of the curve can be represented with just a single bit, so more efficient than other approaches), but perhaps I am wrong or misguided on that.

Anyway, regardless - I don't trust the claims of perfect forward secrecy in services like WhatsApp and Signal for a moment - any more than I believe that Crypto AG sold devices that really worked. Perhaps the protocol implements PFS. But does WhatsApp really implement the protocol?

Besides, I recall reading that running the Unix command `strings` over the popular Signal messaging app revealed a static encryption key hardcoded into the application binary, which was used to encrypt all the attachments downloaded to the phone. Gaining access to the phone meant easily reading the messages (using Android accessibility features to "read them out loud") and with the hardcoded secret, easily decrypting the attachment storage too.

I've never read of a police force anywhere in the world actually shutting down citizen access to WhatsApp, at least not unless they're non-allies or otherwise considered hostile to the US. But I have heard of modified, PGP enabled BlackBerrys being seized by police forces all over the world because they really can't break them.

So my working method, fwiw: if I have something private to say that I do not wish to be snooped upon, I do send it over Signal or WhatsApp, but I say it with PGP, and then I delete it and ask the other party to do the same.

> our modern civilization are in the grip of a paralyzing denial and fear of death

I don't believe the US version of "Modern Society", for lack of a better term, is in denial of death.

There is an overblown expectation of informed consent. If I cross the street, I have been informed I might be hit by a vehicle. Look both ways, minimize the danger. It's still there though.

If I have a child, they have to be educated, which generally means they have to go to a public school, where I have been informed they will get a minimal education. I was NOT informed that someone might come in and shoot my kid. Now we have drills and I have been informed, so it's all ok again.

COVID was sensationalized and (in the US) people felt like they had no information, so there was no informed consent as to when and where to go out safely. This is the reason COVID has been blown out of proportion. The information was initially unavailable, then it has been changing. This fails the basic tenet of Modern Civilization. We are informed about dangers to make our own behavioral linear optimizations.

Next up, vaccines and informed consent. Then people are still getting sick. There are news outlets playing it up as if the information was possibly bad and might change again. What constitutes informed consent is not uniform and people argue about it and politicize it.

The problem is that the news about the virus was as direct as the WHO (it's endemic, everyone will get it eventually) a bunch of messaging gets amplified or contradicted and the political ramifications are too high now. Note, even though the messaging shifted similarly in the relatively small area of Israel, there was uniform behavior.

They also don't pull punches when it comes to informing the population about dangers, which the US tends to do. This is because the media runs wild with anything they are given (how could it be worse?! is it overblown!? et al)

> Like what's even the point of all this, of life, of us, if in the end nothing matters, everything decays into nothingness.

I don't understand this reasoning. If the universe had a different end state, or if it collapsed in on itself only to erupt again, would that make any difference to the meaning of your life or that of our civilization? Probably not, because things still end.

It seems to me that you'd arrive at this conclusion of meaninglessness in any case. The thing is, while the universe may not care, there are many things we as humans do care about. They have meaning because we give them meaning. Isn't that liberating?
My lord, this is all stupid as hell. Here we are, sitting in a world where every human being could possess every book they could ever want to read, forever, in a $30 device.

What they built is a way of scanning things on your phone and reporting that to Apple. The chance of multiple governments not passing laws eventually to force this into scanning for whatever they wish is low. Previously to this Apple could have fought back on privacy terms but now its argument will be much weaker.

edit: It's also a model based scanner so they scan for types of things and similar things instead of explicit copies of things. Which makes it an even more powerful tool for governments than a simple direct scanner.

> Just assume everyone has a credit card

Not everyone who has a poor credit score/rating is stupid/irresponsible/to-blame, but I'm sure the majority are. But the majority will probably also claim to be blameless.

The problem is there are two problems - the major one is the irresponsible. The minor one is the unfortunate. But protecting yourself from the irresponsible usually distancing yourself from the unfortunate as well. That said, most of the unfortunate you are likely to meet are at least a little irresponsible too, confounding the issue.
