Those who rise to the top are less likely to be influenced by social norms? Its perhaps supportive of the adage that more CEOs have psychopathic tendencies than the average population. It makes absolute sense that is the case, often to get ahead you must make decisions that hurt others. If you emphatize with others you are less likely to want to be in such a position.
The thing I always find astonishing about the LARPing element of "taking up arms against the state" is how one-sidedly political it is. An authoritarian right-wing state - say, an alternate world where Trump had somehow seized power and suspended democracy - would find large numbers of American gun owners who would be very happy about this and serve as a pro-government paramilitary (coordinating the police/military and doing all the Bad Things that the government doesn't want to be seen doing, like human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing).

It shows an astonishing lack of historical awareness to imagine that gun ownership in private hands will be default mobilized "against tyranny" - like tyranny is always going to be some sort of sneering baddies that the public is 95% against. There are obviously some genuine libertarians among gun owners, but there's also a pretty large contingent of authoritarian right wingers (or people who are libertarian only in respect to their own freedoms).
In fairness to Atlassian I work for a charity and we get to use their products for next to nothing and I've found Jira to be a valuable project management tool.

My experience is that dev's have...mixed feelings about it because it can get in the way of "actual work" but only a few of those dev's are as good and organised as they think they are. The rest it's like herding cats and without Jira or an equivalent they'd be churning out dogshit.

Lucid actually has some interesting tech/approaches to get this range.

1. Slightly more aerodynamic than the Model S

2. Smaller than the Model S. Remember the coefficient is calculated based on the cross sectional area so the smaller size has a multiplier effect. Supposedly the Lucid has more interior space than the Model S but maybe not storage capacity.

3. A transmission. This seems to make it more efficient at highway speeds.

4. Very light and compact motor/integrated transmission/inverter

5. Very big battery (can't get a firm figure but have heard numbers from 110kWh to 150kWh). The Tesla Model S is 100kWh.

Of these, the drivetrain seems the most interesting. It will be interesting to break down the effects of each of the above.

Also, this range is only for their highest end model which costs a very, very pretty penny of $161K.
Eugyppius on Substack recently pondered what would have happened if the current public health authorities were in charge back then:

> Until now, the Covid bureaucrats have responded with rolling seasonal embargoes on all human social activity that is not mediated by electronics. People who violate these restrictions are behaving irresponsibly and endangering all of society. Consider how much this stance differs from their approach to other viruses. Were gay men, at any point, ever exhorted to abstain from anal sex in the interests of defeating HIV? Was the gay community ever blamed for the AIDS epidemic and scolded by public health bureaucrats for worsening statistics? Were gay bars and bath houses ever targeted for closure or curfews or—imagine!—contact tracing, to flatten the curve? No, they weren’t; and if any of that had happened, we’d be reading to this day what a grave injustice all of it was. HIV is undeniably much harder on those it infects than Sars2, and I submit that, in the hierarchy of human needs, quotidian social interaction ranks well above anal sex. --https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/covid-is-a-social-construct

Probably strategic, everything in politics is so its barely worth mentioning.

But I find the opposition party in California to be extremely petty. I mean, it is refreshing that politics in CA can revert to its natural state of merely being petty and childish, compared to how the national level has gotten. But at the same time its kind of weird and unnecessary given everything else going on. Of course, I kind of get the perspective that someone else can address everything else going on better, but I mean come on there is no power in the opposition party. If a sympathetic judge can't be found to affect a specific cause then there is no need for any energy on the matter because it is a waste of energy.

Anyway, it is kind of cute though.

I agree with rubiquity, without getting into a philosophical debate about programming paradigms, we have started an open source project InfraQL (https://infraql.io/) which is a framework for all cloud operations (query and provisioning) using SQL, we support SELECT, INSERT and DELETE with UPDATE, UPSERT, REPLACE coming, totally different architectural approach to the other solutions referenced in this thread, supports config/data supplied via Json or Jsonnet. If we look at cloud resources being defined by configuration, and configuration as (simply) data, then a SQL dialect makes absolute sense - as opposed to continuously inventing new and complex frameworks and DSLs.
Good thing the government tracks the capacity of those things. There's no need to ask random people with no expertise what they think.
I'll agree that, especially with 8.1 and some tweeks, things were much better. But I think the out-of-the-box experience-- what most consumers will be stuck with-- is a better comparison. Because you can change just about anything if you're willing to use 3rd party tools or dig into buried settings, and especially if you're willing to dig around the registry.

Not the parent poster, but I would not feel safer in a bad neighborhood armed. If someone is going to draw on me, I doubt I'd have the time to out-draw them. And if they aren't, then I just don't need the gun at all.

Unless you're suggesting that walking around obviously armed acts as a deterrence, but I'm not sure I buy that either. I think it's equally possible that could draw more attention to you.

(I do agree, though, that the parent seems to have some weird ideas as to what is and isn't safe, and what guns may or may not protect someone from.)
That's why I'm wondering if there's underlying research or just puffery.
Your comment is incorrect because you are describing SB 10, not SB 9.

SB 9 indeed allows duplexes on all single-family parcels, as well as lot splits if one of the new homes will be owner-occupied, and neither lot would be less than 40% of the original lot's area.

This seems fair enough. Incitement to violence in Germany is taken seriously and threatening the police for upholding the law is ridiculous. It should never fly in any civil society. I know this sort of meta commenting is frowned upon here but people acting as if these were literally just "anti-lockdown" opinions makes me think nobody even bothered to read the article.

Seriously, I feel like recent history has shown so many flaws in the theory of guns protecting citizens from the government.

I remember during the tsarnaev brother's attacks the crazy amount of APCs and armored vehicles that were in the arsenal of just the police. What the fuck is 5.56 in the hands of some regular Joe going to do against even the lightest armor.

Not to mention the fact that it's not the fairytale tyrannical government vs the righteous citizenry. Turns out it can be subversive citizenry going up against other citizens.

You seem to be looking at the the rank order alone, which just means there are a lot of closely bunched countries near the US on the indices.

> I'm actually astonished people still believe "fast and strict" lockdowns work, or that they actually happened anywhere.

I live in Adelaide, a city of over a million people that has done two strict lockdowns (at 17 and 6 cases respectively), and neither of them lasted more than a week. Both of them completely eradicated the virus from the state, and we've had 0 COVID-related deaths in over a year. Looking at the absolute disasters happening everywhere else that doesn't react as quickly (even just over in Sydney) shows exactly how well those have worked.

> Closing borders before there is community spread, a la Australia and NZ, is a separate issue.

For the record, we actually didn't do this - borders we only unilaterally closed after community spread had occurred. It was only after eradicating the virus from the community in early 2020 that it became a primary line of defence against further spread.

> Those were not "fast". The borders to those countries have been closed since early 2020.

By "fast" I meant reacting quickly, not that the lockdown was over quickly. However usually those are the same thing - it's a hell of a lot easier to eradicate the virus when you start at 10 cases instead of 10,000.

Conflating closed international borders with a lockdown is somewhat confusing. Australia and New Zealand closing their borders to countries that couldn't successfully restrict COVID spread has had virtually no impact on anyone's day-to-day life.

> There is currently no end in sight to their "fast and strict" lockdown.

Only 2 Australian states are currently locked down (Victoria and New South Wales), and describing NSW's as "fast" or "strict" would be downright laughable.

SB 9 does end single family zoning in that it allows duplexes to be built on all lots currently zoned for single family housing. I agree that the title should reflect that the linked press release covers three bills: SB 8, 9, and 10, which change many things in California housing policy.

> This bill, among other things, would require a proposed housing development containing no more than 2 residential units within a single-family residential zone to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain requirements, including, but not limited to, that the proposed housing development would not require demolition or alteration of housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income, that the proposed housing development does not allow for the demolition of more than 25% of the existing exterior structural walls, except as provided, and that the development is not located within a historic district, is not included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, or is not within a site that is legally designated or listed as a city or county landmark or historic property or district.

This is called Safetyism. It is tyranny dressed up as concern for safety. Life is about risk. If you go down the path of 'trying to make everything safe' you ruin people's lives because a lot of what makes life enjoyable is about risk, ie asking someone on a date is a risk, travelling to a foreign country is a risk, driving is a risk, going on holiday is a risk, having children is a risk, starting a business is a risk. If you box people in and say 'its for your/the greater good' you are a tyrant forcing your will on people who should always have choice and free will. Restricting people's movement, their lives, their speech, criminalising socialising, bankrupting people is tyranny and should never, ever be allowed in a free and democratic society.

Unless you're already making $1 million in ARR, your cockiness is already a sign that an acquisition probably is unlikely to happen.

Sorry, but there is no guarantees in startup life.

During the American Golden Era people were free to take whatever position they wanted separately for each individual issue. In 2021, if someone takes position X on an issue, one is expected to take position X on all issues, or suffer social consequences for dissent.

> I don't think you fully grasp the extent to which the US population is armed.

You have entirely missed the point. The existence of small arms is not what lead the Taliban to success against the US. They had billions of dollars from the opium trade, donations, and foreign aid. This money was not just spent to purchase weapons; it was used to fund training camps, fund recruiting operations, buy off politicians and local warlords, maintain supply lines, and the other infrastructure you need to wage war. These are the things the three letter agencies would take note of.

tl;dr: Small arms (in any quantity) are a small piece of what you would need to wage an effective insurgency against ol' Uncle Sam.
I attribute the decline of the UK’s domestic computer industry (including Acorn) to the scene as-a-whole being either uninterested or unwilling to embrace PC-compatibility. Had they done that, I think they could have secured better distribution deals, especially in education, but eve more-so overseas. What if Sinclair, Amstrad, and Acorn were able to establish themselves as a third-way (like Amiga and Be almost did) alternative to both IBM PCs and Apple Macintosh?

I know that being PC-compatible would automatically make them commodity, but if they had positioned themselves as a value-added “PC+” platform and focused on competing in areas where PC clones at-the-time sucked and alternatives like Amiga reigned (e.g. Video Toaster), could they have succeeded? What if they merged with Quantel and made their Paintbox more affordable sooner? That would have taken the wind out of Adobe’s Photoshop sails.

I feel the UK computing scene suffered from a lack-of-ambition. The world is too small for each medium-sized country to have their own computer-makers, so it’s important to go-big early and establish footholds in all the major markets - which isn’t something anyone in the UK except ARM (and to an extent: Sinclair) has done.
Australia has an outbreak right now.

New Zealand is currently around the 10-20/day cases mark contained to their largest city which remains in hard lockdown. The rest of the country has eased restrictions.

The delta variant has proven very difficult, the state of Victoria in Australia which really pushed the lockdown strtategy has given up. They're now pushing for vaccination in hopes of easing restrictions further. They remain in lockdown as a larger outbreak would overwhelm the healthcare system.

Similar case for New Zealand - they have a capacity of less than 250 ICU beds for COVID for 5 million people. The risks are much, much worse if the outbreak spreads.
Are those people happy waiting 10s for a page to load? Seems like wasting their time is most expensive of all for the company.
New Zealand does not have a “very low” rate of gun ownership. It has ~ 26 firearms per 100 people, well short of the USAs 120 but still ranked 20th in the world.
