>The US and Russia will never align.

From a philosophical point of view, they share more with the US than they do with China. Confucianism is somewhat alien to Western thinking. Russia shares some of the pillars of philosophy with the US (and EU). So I think it depends on how things shape out in the future.

>The US is content to have two powerful foes to utilize for various purposes.

Sadly, this is part of it. I think Putin wants a Détente with the US, but some factions (both Dem and Repub) are allergic to anything Russia due to distrust from the Cold War.

>The Russians are intensely nationalistic and independent. They have a serious confrontation coming in the future with China.

Russia is nationalistic, but maybe even more so is China. They two had military skirmishes in the 60s (Amur). This may happen again as China looks toward Siberia for expansion. On the other hand, Siberia is mostly uninhabitable unless you raze it and pave it, but the temp extremes are quite unique too.

Apparently bases elsewhere in rUK wouldn't be a great idea due to them being too easy to track submarines entering/leaving. Backup locations being considered for the Trident boats apparently include the US or even France.
The idea of having some ultimate meaning is (as far as we can tell) an invention of the human mind.

Whether life has meaning, whether it needs to have meaning, or even whether the meaning of life is predicated on influencing the universe is up to you to determine.

If you asked 10 philosophers and religious leaders about the meaning of life, you'd probably get 100 different answers ranging from "seeking knowledge", "enjoying life", "serving [god or supernatural force]", "making others happy", to "there is no meaning".
Reading this comment really pissed me off, and I felt compelled to strike back, but upon seeing from the replies that it pissed off a lot of other people too, I feel much better.
Almost holding my breath for the time we see a version of react native for web getting packaged into a container that mimicks a native mobile app. And back then I thought that I've seen it all when apps built with scalajs-react-native appeared on Android.

The article does not talk about the legality of submitting fake info, or more specifically batch submitting forms like that. As far as I can tell, it refers to a government website (I can't actually access the website from my location).

Regardless of the topic or reason, generally doing so seems like a gray area to me. It's a pretty low bar for something to qualify as "hacking" in legal terms, even if it actually might not be.

Does anyone know if there are legal implications to this?
This has long been the assumption, but most recent research seems to suggest the opposite direction.

Not to mention, even if inside-neuron computation turned out to be largely irrelevant for the whole-brain computation, it's still fascinating to look at how much computation, sensing and planning is happening inside any cell just for the cell to live in its environment. We tend to make a huge distinction between single organisms and their constituent parts, but human cells are not all that hugely different from bacteria in terms of their need for doing smart work to live.
Why not? As a someone in the field, I hope that we do.

Sounds like you're saying in the UK a "town" is generally larger than a "city"? This is the opposite of what is implied by those terms in the USA.
Negative examples don't work too well, since I can point at, say, the US at many points and say "doesn't look like a great example of liberty"—meanwhile, progress toward such doesn't seem to have had much to do with our having lots and lots of private firearms. Meanwhile, there are plenty of relatively "disarmed" countries that remain quite free. So what factor, if any, do private arms play in the preservation of liberty and democracy? That's what I'm trying to get at. We take it as true that the 2nd amendment is absolutely vital to maintaining freedom, but... is there any reason to think that's true? I'm genuinely trying to figure that out.

From my reading of your link you are wrong.

How a code that decides what to ignore or not is a sensor issue? Sensors tell you that there is something in front, sure maybe is a sudden thing and there is no velocity/acceleration vector for a few moments but the object is detected ...the software DECIDES what to ignore.

The example where a car changes slane and the code ignores any static object in front of that car seems a clear case of a crash waiting to happen, the car in front might change the lane to avoid something. (and the fact that some other tech that is honestly labeled lane assist has this issue does not excuse a self claimed autopilot to have same flaws."

Let me summarize and let me know where I am wrong:

"Because the software is bad and it triggers too many false positives the coders added a "clever" hack , we ignore most static objects."
I wonder, is Ruby with Rails still the best choice if you're starting out and want to build web applications? A few years ago the "new" stack was something like MEAN or MERN but Express doesn't seem to have the productivity of Ruby. If you had to start today, what would you pick and why?

And its a very good point. China's strategy is to solidify its grip on the near-China areas (Taiwan, Korea, etc. etc.).

China seems to explicitly NOT be trying to challenge the USA on the open seas. Still, given US interests in Taiwan, its a threat to be taken seriously.

* I don’t even own checks and if I get one I take a photo from my banking app and have it deposited.

* I only use my debit card for the very rare times I withdraw cash and instead just use a credit card that auto-pays from my bank directly each month in full.

* If I want to transfer money between friends I just use Venmo.

* I’ve never had fraud issues but my sister had her card skimmed in Europe and calling to report was enough to reverse the charges.

Why do they need a card infrastructure?

Since Brazil implemented our free instant interbank transfers (it's called PIX), people have been using it for all kinds of stuff that previously required a credit card. The seller simply asks the buyer to tag the transaction, and reads the tag on his phone when the buyer says the payment is complete.

Git is definitely not simple. It's simple if you have a solid understanding of data structures (trees, graphs), and know the concept of a pointer. Not everyone has that background. The concepts are learnable, but the commands have complex behavior that often require reference to use properly. The commands aren't simple by any measure because of all of the edge cases that exist.
It's a "work in progress", basically an updated version of the old projects that serve like a proof-of-concept if you can tolerate the old versions (docker 19.03 and podman 1.9.3)
The runs from RAM is an integral part of the project, the new version will have better packaging - using squashfs mounts rather than copying them over to tmpfs like the old one did.

Flutter web is amazing. I have the opportunity to build a side project with it last year, and I just love it. Compared to trying to build web applications with React or Vue, Flutter doesn't have to deal with the baggage of the JavaScript ecosystem.

Here's a server side Dart framework

https://aqueduct.io/

Not sure how mature it is, but if I ever have a need to build another backend server I'll try it. I tend to prefer managed solutions now like Google's Firebase, which integrates so well with Flutter ( obviously because Google has a vested interest in you using their services)

chroot only affects a processes view of the filesystem it doesn’t affect:

- the process’s view of other processes (i.e. ps isn’t isolated)

- the process’s view of the kernel’s VFS, (i.e. mount isn’t isolated)

- the process’s view of the networking stack (i.e. ifconfig and iptables aren’t isolated, and socket numbers are global)

- the process’s view of users on the system (i.e. uids/gids are global)

And so with time, the hostname, IPC, cgroups…

And more are planned on being added like the kernel keyring, and /dev/log.

“containers” means a lot of different things to different people but the main things people want are.

- resource bundling: “take everything your app needs to run, and tar it up so that it all stays together. Don’t make me worry too much about missing libraries.

- sandboxing: don’t make me have to worry too much about what else is going on the system when I run my thing and reduce the surface area for attacks.

- delivery (the big value add): give me a bunch of tooling to create that tar, version it, and get it running on a bunch of different systems without have to worry too much about the underlying OS, hardware, network setup, or storage.

And bonus for things like k8s.

- service bundling: give me a bunch of tooling to get many of those tars running on different systems and don’t make me worry too much about service discovery, load balancing, software crash recovery, hardware crash recovery, deployments, task scheduling, secrets, config files and more.

The funny thing about India is that at the beginning of 2021, Covid was considered a thing of the past. Cases flat lined. The government was so confident it was trying to export vaccines to curry diplomatic favour.

Then delta came. Turns out being infected with one variant doesn’t offer as much protection against another variant as being vaccinated. (https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2021/06/22/how-immunity-genera...)

> The new evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying “single letter” changes in a key portion of their spike protein compared to antibodies acquired from an infection.

So yeah, life is back to normal in India. Until the next variant.

This isn't really accurate. Presuming you're using react-native-web [1] (the most popular version of RN targeting the web, although there are others), it's essentially just a set of components and APIs, fulfilling RN's API, which sit on top of React DOM.

So anything you could do in React, you can also do in RNWeb, as it's a superset of React.

Of course, you'd need to use the RN components if you want to share code between web and native mobile. But there's nothing stopping you reaching a high degree of code re-use, and/or using React components for the web-only portion of a RNWeb project.

> Would that be oppressive?

To be ascribed one authoritative meaning and purpose from outside is probably the definition of totalitarian oppression, yes. You may argue that it's oppression in a delightful state of bliss, or that you much prefer a life on rails. That's hard to argue against, because it's a matter of personal preference. But if you would prefer there to be an external authority who imbues meaning, what in turn then gives meaning to that authority?

> While I agree that we give things meaning, it's all rather arbitrary and empty to think about it that way.

Again, only if you feel it's empty. Then: yes, it is. To me it doesn't feel that way, so to me it isn't. It feels vast and full of possibilities. And also sad that we're such primitive creatures with such short and hard lives. I'd rather I was born in a few hundred years to better take advantage of the opportunities of existence.
Surely you recognize the plethora of ethical concerns behind this? Certainly there is much to be learned in terms of energy efficiency of computation but I'm undecided as to whether we should go down this path. If we do, I believe it should be regulated from the get-go or else it will be too late by the time the biological substrates reach animal-analogous intelligence. Perhaps if done for classical computing research without trialing machine learning we can avoid asking ourselves at what point the biological machine has sentience and deserves agency?

> 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.

Well if you need a specific widget or library that react native doesn't support by default you have to write bindings, and unless your business logic is very basic it happens most of the time. You might be lucky somebody already did write some bindings for you. As someone that used Titanium in the past, React Native suffers from the exact same problems.
