I certainly agree that Taiwan / near China is going to be problematic because of missiles like that. China seems to have the advantage in a Taiwan-scenario. When those missiles are based on land with much more defenses available to them, its a problem.

In a naval scenario (lets say China is attacking Hawaii as a hypothetical), those ballistic missiles will need to be launched from a Chinese ship of their own (3000km range vs Hawaii is still ocean), which means the Carrier + F35 has the edge once more. It seems more likely that our ships will find their ships first (or really, our F35 aircraft will find them first) and neutralize the missile before they lock in on our Carrier's location.
Ruby has some what hostile rules imo.

Such as end and lower casing variables.

Another factor to mention, Python has some specific use cases, like machine learning which I can only effectively learn by using Python. I actually managed to secure a 30k pay raise by learning Python in my spare time.

Anything I can do in Ruby, I can already do in NodeJS. If I ever run across an employer who would offer 30k or 40k more for me to learn Ruby, I would definitely jump at the opportunity.
So, we know that human-like general intelligence is possible because we display it right? We're pretty sure it has something to do with that soft stuff inside our brain-baskets, and how that soft stuff is interconnected. We've found computational primitives that we call neurons, so the premise goes, if we can understand and copy how it works we can engineer intelligence. Right? So going to genetics, while interesting and worthy, isn't really going up a level of 'abstraction' because we're trying to get a systems level overview here.

It is a process somewhat like studying a CPU by shocking prongs and occasionally slicing it real thin to see inside it.
That level of miniaturization is far older than Apple's removal of the iPhone headphone jack in 2016, but the related lightning-to-audio jack dongle had a microcontroller with a DAC inside that you'd never think existed due to the form factor.
Sure we do. It's littered with history, fragments from all over. And organisms today are more complex than organisms of the past, some of which still have remnants existing. So many stages of development as examples. There's no magic to it.

This is the more impressive thing to me. It’s not just covid restrictions, but every quarter some bill gets passed that enrages massive groups who view it as illegitimate. But… it’s all just noise. People will vocally complain about it, mostly only to their peers, but with their actions, they just accept it.

The title is interesting to me. How long can a system of law continue when large portions view new laws as illegitimate? In the near term, we all gain from stability and the vast majority lose out during any sort of upheaval. Still, I would expect more cracks where at least a few individuals get fed up become violent toward the imposers of the laws they view as illegitimate. That we see so little of that is honestly impressive to me.

Absolutely not.

The author has an interest in making him a victim of Virgin Galactic, because if he's not, that makes him largely a victim of the author's published writings.

Separately, I'm saying that there's no universal truth to "should have" or "shouldn't have". It's a personal moral and ethical judgement call, and is complicated by differences in professional opinion. The author makes it seem like a clear A/B choice, and it's not.

Disobedience is more black and white, and requires pretty substantial justification.

Assessing risk can be one of the most difficult and contentious aspects of engineering. People are going to disagree.

This isn't a case of "safety at all costs". It's an inherently risky business and discipline. To some extent he is comfortable putting test pilots and others lives' at risk, because that's ultimately his job.

Barring some absolute smoking gun (ie violating written risk policies versus differences of professional opinions), I think he made a deliberate choice that precludes victim hood.
Yeah, I mean both in content and context.

If people could organize to they extent that one of the worst offenders' businesses would be metaphorically burned to the ground once a year, I think that would have an effective deterrent effect.

I used to keep all this stuff to myself. I considered it amusing speculation by some paranoid commentators, but now it's just rolling out relentlessly like clockwork. Klaus Schwab is going along saying COVID-19 is an enormous opportunity for us to "build back better.". Al Gore's "wrenching transformation of society" is finally here! The changes will happen and, due to social media control, there will be the perception that they are what all the citizens of the world wanted and demanded. We will be presented with the appearance that we are literally begging for our chains to be put on.

There will be some good things that come out of it. The whole social hierarchy will be flattened. Since consumption will be strictly controlled no matter how much money you have, there will be very little social inequality and use of the planets resources will be based on not violating the laws and doing pro-social, pro-environment actions.

For example, you will not be able to use transport unless there is an explicitly justified need. Foreign vacations will be eliminated. Luxury and recreational goods and foods will be a very rare indulgence, regardless of how much money you have.

I'm just helping HN get ahead of the curve here. This stuff is steamrolling out so fast and effectively, especially in Australia that I can't think anyone can do anything to stop it.

The funniest thing is watching North Korea's response to the pandemic. It's like they didn't have to change anything. They just rejected 3 million doses of donated vaccine! They also report 0 Coronavirus cases.

Are you saying it doesn't matter how often it happens? I'd be a lot more worried about things if something happens always compared to it happening in some cases. Sure, stationary objects should be driven into, I agree. But if this only happens 1 time over the course of 10 years, I'd be a lot more lenient than if it happens once per week, no matter if the reason is "good or bad" (not sure what that means?)

In the leaks that happened around the time of Snowden's revelations, there were DVI/monitor cables that had transmitters that would broadcast the decrypted signal so that someone with the receiver nearby could "share" the screen. No software installed for security software to find. Just a cable that could be installed by the cleaning crew after hours.
This ignores another resource - power. Power is built in to all resources, to the degree that you can deny resources to others.

If resources are distributed they won't stay that way. Hence you can really "distribute" them freely, but rather "allocate" whereby some authority maintains the distribution, and hence has control over the resource in some capacity.

From that perspective, lack of scarcity is never guaranteed to exist because equal distribution is not guaranteed to persist, without intervention at least.

It's also a (conservative?) idea that control of resources is what binds society in terms of motivation. that co-dependence is actually a good thing. At the very least, even though I don't agree that society couldn't exist without scarcity, I do agree that:

- current society is built on scarcity, and won't seamlessly transition to a viable post-scarcity just because you remove scarcity.
- American society is dependant of tribal power-struggles more than most, and hence will fare even worse.
- Many nations are not so abundant that they are too far from scarcity. Without long-term planned fail-safes, small disasters can bring it right back. Governance is mostly hands off - citizens are left to themselves, which is why most think in terms of self-preservations.

It's all a matter of opinion, but I argue that those are not what make Ruby expressive.

What makes Ruby expressive to me is that it relies more heavily on English language than other languages that make heavy use of symbols and overly concise naming conventions. The symbols it does use (and I don't mean the Symbol class) get out of the way when you don't need them, meaning you can often get away not using curlies or parens, which may result in code that is easier for the human eye to parse (w/ syntax highlighting) and makes it simple to write DSL-like code and APIs without going down the full metaprogramming rabbit hole. Languages that are more C-derived don't have such affordances. Conveniences for creating ranges, calculating time, having array/enumerable operators, etc., are all highly beneficial. Ruby stands out in those ways without things like metaprogramming. It's the parts that get out of the way that are great, whilst metaprogramming can easily end up interfering with anyone who didn't write it. There are certain exceptions, but they are usually well tested libraries that get a lot of time and attention. The metaprogrammed DSL one guy wrote, who left the company before you showed up, can have flaws that take hours to flesh out.

I feel like many countries were pennywise and pound foolish with the pandemic. The cost to shut down a society and keep everyone locked down is tremendous, trillions lost from business being stopped, emotional scars that will last decades if not a lifetime for a majority involved.

Investing in vaccines/therapeutic treatments would have been a fraction of the cost and some countries just don't want to pay the tiny cost(compared to the alternative of complete lockdowns). You have the EU trying to pay the absolute minimum for vaccines(which contributed to their glacial rollout and extended lockdowns). And Australia with its minimal vaccine purchase.

What is concerning is once a government thinks it can wield the power of extreme lockdowns it will never surrender said power. "We are doing this with your safety in mind, do not complain or deviate from our orders". Given a variant of covid seems to be popping up every 6-8 months would South Australia keep their population in perpetual lockdown, and forced use of that horrible app? Scary times we are living in now.

Where do you think these “brain waves” come from? Brain activity is the result of the interaction of neurons and external stimuli.

Just as transistors are fundamental to processors, neurons are fundamental to brains, and it is important that we understand these basic building blocks if we ever hope to understand the brain and intelligence as a whole.
On that theme, most of the boards I participate in are focused on just one topic. https://www.rodbuilding.org/
All the slides say is that there were 700ish reports that met case criteria as reported through VAERS, a self-reporting system. We are not told any information about which case criteria were met (objective vs subjective), comorbidities, reason for presentation (all vital information for a true diagnosis not report). We are not told about degree of hospitalisation or reason for hospitalisation. We are most certainly not given confirmed cases as GP claims, the stringent criteria for which are listed one link deep from the presentation. We are left with a misleading link to a scary-sounding number that is being posted by multiple accounts across HN with nebulous intent and in some cases history of posting blatant misinformation. I feel that calling this practice out when I see it helps if just a little bit.

In this case a look through GP's recent comment history reveals many comments with disinformation and fear-mongering.

Docker is essentially a wrapper for containerization tech that is native to Linux only (cgroups etc.). So no, there's no way to just run the engine directly on other OSs. Docker Desktop takes care of the dirty details of virtualizing a Linux layer on Mac and Windows so the engine can run there. And they want to charge larger companies for it. Which seems very reasonable to me.
This is an odd question. There are tons of active discussion boards that can be found with trivial effort. Other replies have mentioned forums for specific auto makes and models, and you'll find they get spun up quite quickly when a new model comes out, and attract a lot of traffic. I don't think anyone has mentioned Steam discussion boards yet. Heck, Facebook is a discussion board in many respects.

Doesn't Taiwan use something similar? Except that, if memory serves, they don't require an app to be installed they just require the network operator to geo-fence the mobile phone and notify the user if they stray from home and the authorities if the user doesn't return home after being reminded.

Seems unnecessary to use an app when the network can triangulate pretty well in densely populated areas.

Good question. Pretty printing of any datum that can be bound to a symbol. I have numbers, strings, dicts (hash maps), arrays, lists, symbols and a few types of values that are not externalizable. The current pretty printer lays out everything as code, i.e., an input like '(let ...) would be interpreted as let form and formatted accordingly.

But that's not the problem, I have troubles dealing with line-breaks. They are currently not intelligent enough, e.g. a list may break directly after an opening parenthesis even if the whole list would fit on the next line + indentation. It seems that a good pretty printer needs to look ahead?

Anyway, looking for a simple clean example. Just a function recursing into a list and formatting it as code with a fixed margin and without using any fancy formatting instructions would be very instructive.

> Like other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities. But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant — society collectively, over the separate individuals who compose it — its means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries.

> Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.

> Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own.

> There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.
