Then that’s not a war. That’s economic competition and maybe starvation (i.e., embargos, sanctions). As a separate point, and I acknowledge it’s not at all apples-to-apples, but that tactic has been totally unsuccessful regarding Cuba.

But in an alternate reality with just economic competition and a few sanctions here and there (no coups, etc.), it’s not a war at all, even a cold one.

And if anyone, surely we’re in a cold war with Russia right now — we even have proxy military fronts in Ukraine and Syria! Nothing at all like this for China.

Edit: I don’t think it’s advisable to think of the US as being in a hot/cold war with Russia either.
im not going to click that link but tbh wouldnt mind hearing some bullet points of this
> The US never left Japan and certainly never left Germany.

It left the the running of their governments. The US military is/was not needed to keep order and prevent a collapse of civil society in either of those two countries. Contra Afghanistan.
SEC Gives Whistle-Blower $110M in Second-Biggest Payout
GM has bought back the cars of many owners who have asked, but not all. While GM may have drug their feet on buy-backs early on I doubt they would let any individual request get to the point of a lawsuit before changing their mind.
Good luck enforcing it.

"Mr. Isaacman has declined to say how much he is paying for this orbital trip, only that it was less than the $200 million he hopes to raise for St. Jude Children’s Hospital with an accompanying fund-raising drive."

Is this some way to write the trip cost off as charitable deduction? Spend $50m sending self to space as 'advertising' and if you dont raise more via fund raiser its oh well we tried?

Edit: Thought it fair to add, this may well be a genuine attempt to raise money for a good cause with good intent. I'm a bit jaded from seeing people around offices spend money on expensive holidays and tying it to a cause where they raise fractions of what is spent on the holiday. My feeling is if they cared for the cause they'd skip 'hiking across country X' or whatever and donate the money while having a cheaper holiday elsewhere. So my bias is towards being a bit sceptical when it come to people trying to raise money for charity via expensive personal experiences.
But what if it is also profitable? And what if profitability can be measured with hard numbers and “suicidal” is somewhat open to interpretation?

And what if the people making the decisions also share the profit?

I’m sure we can reach some kind of middle ground.

Anyone filing a valid candidacy application can run for the office in Alameda County (or in California AFAIU, where the state Secretary of Sate defines qualifications).

Ballotpedia has a more complete narrative description:

It's not even clear to me that there is an minimumm age requirement for municipal or state office. There are a set of petition and/or filing-fee requirements.

Alabama is a state in which I might expect more stringent requirements to be in place. Those are: 18+ years of age, 1 day+ state residency, 1 day+ US citizen, and registered voter. Terms are 4 years, with no limit on terms served.

> so there is no need to delegate a choice to the application

Until there is a need. Can you see the future? Do you know for a fact that there will never, ever be a single edge case where being able to change the order might be beneficial?

This is nanny-state moral-idealist development. It's one thing to pick defaults. It's another to choose a design decision that literally screws people over, because either you thought you were smarter than everyone, or you didn't care if you screwed anyone over.

What if a cipher suite turns out to be broken?
Just like any other vulnerability, it will be fixed in security release for all supported Go versions

Ah. So the millions of statically-compiled Go apps just all need to be recompiled, for every version and platform they were ever released for, and re-downloaded. For supported Go versions.

Why not make TLS 1.3 cipher suites configurable?
Conversely, there is no tradeoff to make with TLS 1.3, as all its cipher suites provide strong security

Until a cipher suite turns out to be broken. Like they pointed out in the first question.
iOS allows content blockers now, at least for Safari. While it’s not quite as good, it makes the Internet usable again. Firefox focus’s content blocker has been sufficient for me, as a specific recommendation.
If you "value things differently", that's fine. Some people value bitcoin; some value gold, some value Andy Warhol paintings. And that's fine. "It's differences of opinion that make horse races."

But javert laid out this grand vision of what bitcoin was going to do for us, and it was considerably more than "be a good investment" or "be something that people like". And he implied I was too stupid to understand it, which is... not cool. I understood exactly what he said the case for bitcoin was. I remain skeptical that it's going to achieve that, ever.

And if it doesn't, then... it's a waste in terms of the lofty goals that bitcoin proponents have stated, no matter how people valued it financially.
The way to restore this is a qualcomm tool, but you also need a properly formatted and signed package to flash using the tool, and i doubt that google would give it to you.

I don't know how it is now, but my almost-decade-old generic Mediatek Android smartphone (still working, although seldom used) lets you access the whole eMMC in a special recovery mode using SPFlashTool, and there's no signing required. Looks like they have locked down things since then, ostensibly for security but more likely for corporate control and planned obolescence...

Many places allegedly don't count it as vaccinated unless they have had both shots and a certain amount of time has passed.

So if someone gets the vaccine and dies before the next shot, they are considered an unvaccinated death.

More important than guard rails (which makes a value judgement on what actions are "allowed") is a way to determine how to settle the thing that bets are being made on ("did these actions that have stakes on them, actually happen"), auger[0] does this by:

"Once a Market’s underlying event occurs, the Outcome must be determined in order for the Market to Finalize and begin Settlement. Outcomes are determined by Augur’s Decentralized Oracle, which consists of profit-motivated Reporters, who simply report the actual, real-world Outcome of the event. Anyone who owns REP may participate in the Reporting and Disputing of Outcomes. Reporters whose Reports are consistent with consensus are financially rewarded, while those whose Reports are not consistent with consensus are financially penalized."

Where the market here can take these states/phases:

> Pre-Reporting

> Designated Reporting

> Open Reporting

> Waiting for the Next Fee Window to Begin

> Dispute Round

> Fork

> Finalized

What's confusing? They clearly said they wanted to "start a hedge fund on wall street ... legitimately" which is entirely valid and something others have found success in.

Why did you still assume their intention was to scam? And what does any of this have to do with finding leaders?
Agree. If someone knows your margin situation, they know where they need to push the price to stop you out. Simple as that. And when the exchange stops you out, they unload the position in the market at any price. This is not unique to Bitcoin. In China plastics markets same things happen. Opponents learn enemies’ margin situation from corrupt exchange and push till he is liquidated. I don’t think there is much new to Bitcoin in terms of trading and all the games being played. It has gone on in all the other markets long before this.
Of course this article on microfocus.com is going to talk about how great Cobol is. Microfocus is one of the major Cobol vendors. That said I had a professor that made lots of retirement money off his Cobol abilities. He laughed and said he made more money fixing his optimizations for Y2K then he did in all the years he was a full-time professional Cobol dev.

> The Biden administration's abandonment of Afghanistan is a kind of signal that they probably won't fight over anything.

I'm not saying it was a pretty pullout, the whole time that administration was saying we have to do this to change focus to China. Absent lots of mind games, the simple message is "we shouldn't waste our time defending Afghanistan and Taiwan at the same time."

> I'm tempted to call it "Keynes' revenge." John Maynard Keynes had a period of retreat, and Milton Friedman had a period of ascendancy, and you could date that from around 1979. Monetarism became dominant, markets were preferred to the state, and what emerged as "the Washington consensus" was much more a Friedmanite view of the world.

> Keynes' revenge began in 2008, when, in the face of the financial crisis, a really large part of the economics profession, led by Paul Krugman, essentially said Keynes was right and we need to do Keynes now, or it will be the Great Depression.

This part is true. Though I might put Joseph Stiglitz on equal par for existing big names beating the drum.

> Some Friedmanite ideas have survived. Universal basic income was an idea of the right, once upon a time...

It has an older history that that, but true.

> And the answer is because, in the 1970s, Keynesian policies led to inflation. I feel like that's all just going to replay itself and we're going to have to relive the 1970s in order to remember why we did the 1980s.

There was inflation before the 1970s that was tamed without a return to stupidity (and class warfare from above). See https://employamerica.medium.com/expecting-inflation-the-cas...

> No, it won't, because the multiplier just will be nonexistent. The U.S. is completely incapable of turning a large fiscal stimulus into the kind of investment that would have a significant multiplier. We already know what the outcome will be. There won't really be a significant macroeconomic benefit.

The "multipliers" are not so dire.

I do agree stimulus should be decoupled from infrastructure -- infrastructure simply doesn't mass-emply people the way it used to, especially if projects are completed in a timely matter, but that is a a separate point.

> That's partly because the administration cannot resist mixing up other things with the word "infrastructure." Infrastructure now means everything. If you want to do environmental, "green" policy, that's infrastructure.

Exactly wrong. Bipartisan road spending just promotes more wasteful, terrible exhurbs. It's useless and environmentally counterproductive. Things like universal Pre-K would actually be useful and certainly raise private sector efficiency.

> If you're serious, you're going to walk away from natural gas, walk away from shale gas, and increase the costs of your energy mix. That's just the reality.

The point is costs relative growth. If the prices go up but incomes go up faster, there's no problem. "Carbon dividend"-type proposals that make the poor not face the brunt of fuel prices (but still incentive them to ditch the car and pocket the difference!) are a good example to think about.
You don’t need the exchange to do this. You simply need corrupt employee of the exchange with access to the information.
things like jaxb were removed, which i'm guessing plays a part in the soap discussion above. Not that it is difficult to fix, but...
I agree with the author, and would add/modify a few things.

If you're successful as a consultant, you'll soon discover economic incentives steering you towards an established business model, which can take some of the thrill out of it.

By far the most valuable experience has been meeting people at all levels of an organization without being a part of their power hierarchy. When you're a neutral third party who has suddenly appeared in their daily routine, conversations go differently and people open up more. The company founder seeks your opinion about what direction to take the company--even when the question is far outside your scope of expertise. The forklift driver tells you of problems he dares not reveal to his manager. And the HR director, feared by many, turns out to be the best advocate for those who run the other way when she is near.

So, there’s a guaranteed recipe for starting an engine fire (though from oil, not gasoline): Icy hill, and idiot drivers holding their engine at max revs for a few minutes to try and conquer them. The heat destroys the seals, oil leaks out, and combusts on the hot block.

Which makes me wonder, how would an EV handle the same poor driving conditions?
Interesting. I guess the appeal of "Roast Jupiter" might be related to (what SMBC calls) the Detroit rule [1]. Or the logical next step after the Deep-fried Mars bar.

Filippant?
Here in the US we think that freedom from government oversight is the only kind of freedom. We make the mistake thinking this means that the free market is actually the antidote to government, and as long as we have the free market we will be free.

In reality, companies operating within a market is perfectly capable of imposing intrusive and arbitrary power on citizens, and collective action / government intervention is needed in order to protect our freedoms.

As others have pointed out, we don't need to 'ask', we need to legislate.

Congress will have a hard time passing legislation against this not only because of the filibuster (which encourages minority rule), but because of this fundamental confusion. Why would a Senator or Congressperson who believes only in the first type of free market freedom and is blind to the second type of freedom make moves against a corporation?

Anyways I just started reading this great book called Freedom From the Market, points are 100% lifted from there: https://thenewpress.com/books/freedom-from-market

Oh, thats great haha.
I had a terrible experience with the Pixel 3a XL: Within a couple of months the daughter board with the main microphone on it died, so I could only make calls in speaker phone mode or on Bluetooth. Then the USB-C socket degraded to the point where it wouldn't charge or the plug would just fall out. Sometimes it would half connect to the charger and vibrate every five seconds or so until it eventually died. It seemed like the software was pretty reliable, though.
Thanks.

That's been effective for ... about two weeks then. Brand spankin' new.
Any founders or early employees out there who have experience doing this after their startup exits or closes? This idea really appeals to me and I could see myself doing this sometime in the next five years. I'd be interested to hear how it's gone for others.
The assumption is correct. Have you met children?
The video next to "Print statements from the future" on the webpage shows a bit of it.

You can click on the line-number next to a line of code to add a print at that location. If you hover over the line-number, it'll show you a count (exact and correct) of how many times that line of code hit during execution. Clicking on it adds a print log at that line with a default string.

At that point, the console log in the left should change immediately to include a bunch of new entries with "Loading.." text that resolves to the text of each print statement.

Clicking on the string allows you to replace it with an expression to be evaluated. The expression can include references to local scope variables, etc.

If you edit the expression, the console entries for the prints go back to "Loading.." and the new values are resolved.

The prints in the console are ordered in time sequence along with all the other events that can be shown there (regular console logs, mouse and keyboard and other events, etc.)
Whats funny about it? Looks like they were using the best information known at the time to reduce viral spread and now reuse bags.
The feature is cool. But reliability posture should not be based on a single system’s availability. A software system must eliminate single points of failure, which is really not all that difficult or expensive anymore in 2021.

Yea, I think the other aspect is this isn't just internet. When I was younger, going on the internet meant going to the upstairs bedroom, turning on the computer, waiting for it to boot up, then waiting for AOL to connect, then chatting with people. It would take like 5 minutes of effort. Now, most of the time when I go out, for fun, I just look how many people are hunched over staring and scrolling at their stupid rectangle in their hand all day everyday. It's usually at least 80% of people. It's the social, the algorithm, and the fact that the addiction is sitting in people's hands at all moments of the day and night.
I'm not sure what the point of this question is. I stated that "nuclear sovereignty is the only sovereignty respected by the West" and then you ask "where is sovereignty respected in its own right". I'm not sure how that follows.

You can be fairly good about it, but there's always state with the potential to be left behind or become inconsistent: transitive dependencies of packages sticking around, packages with pre/post scripts, services writing out data files to unexpected locations on disk you forget to cleanup, a failure somewhere between a resource and a "notify" firing causing your service to not restart after a config file update and the next run not rerunning the notify, etc.
I believe GM is footing the bill but hoping to then get LG to pay it because the defects are in LGs manufacturing and not in GMs design.
Why Bitcoin is so unstable
I actually just mapped it out in my business ideas note folder and yeah. I don’t see how you can build a decent tool for this job without having copies of the actual waveforms requiring some form of commercial license, however it would not need to be a performance license which seems to be the thing the publishers are most familiar licensing. So I’m not sure if this would make the process easier or harder but I definitely don’t see how they can argue the rights to use but not play the music are more valuable so they should in theory be cheaper than the sort of price iTunes and Spotify are paying per track.
I could rephrase that to “I’ve seen zero good arguments”, but since I’ve read more arguments/comments/articles about this stuff than I can count over the last few years, I’m assuming that if there was actually a good argument I would have seen it by now.

I’m not saying Apple should get nothing, but they need to justify why they are entitled to that much. Sure they created the phone, operating system, etc, but without those third party apps the iPhone would be a stupid toy not a bajillion dollar a year business.

If you want to justify the 30% because it funds development of the developer resources and frameworks and such, I would say that Apple would be doing all that stuff regardless of money from the App Store since without it they aren’t going to keep selling phones at massive premiums.
