Diesel-electric sub have advantage if you want sub to do costs protection. They are more silent and can remain in position for a long time as they don't need to move to cool their reactor. It means they can stay in pockets of silence longer if they need to(sub exploit variation of pressure, salt density and temperature underwater to find place where their sound waves diffuse poorly).

Honestly Australia doesn't need nuclear sub. The only things they can do that diesel-electric sub couldn't is offensive missions in water further for the Australian costs. That might be useful if Australia decides to go fight in an hypothetical war against China but that would mostly serve the interest of the USA.

Diesel-electric was probably a better choice because Australia would have been able to service them. As is, they will be bound to the USA.
Or bomb them. (Not the ship, them.) Because when a group who rules an area is doing something that, when continued, is going to cause you serious harm and diplomatic measures have failed, that's called an act of war (or the equivalent for non-state actors). If someone is committing acts of war against you, you go to war with them (and somehow I don't think this particular war will result in lots of US casualties).

This is what war is for.
Your comment clearly misses the point that this is nothing to do with other vaccines.

What are your thoughts on there not being a vaccine mandate for the White House, Congress, the CDC, the FDA, and the NIH?

Snapdrop has the edge over ShareDrop since its server can optionally be self-hosted using Docker and it doesn't depend on Firebase. I confuse Snapdrop with ShareDrop sometimes.
there is no "officially" anymore, java has gone open source with distributors kinda like linux distributions.
adoptium isn't the best distribution if you want to run on more than win/lin/mac x86_64.
I've been using it exclusively on Linux since 2.0. Both running and developing.
> I’m actually not terribly worried about food prices being high.

No, but you are probably middle or upper class in a western country (I'm guessing the US). But there are other countries in the world where half of your income goes to food. For them rising food prices is a catastrophe.
Technically no, they used their permissions to include the organization in the enterprise. But the more relevant question is why that matters. As I tried to point out above, this has essentially 0 impact so far; so people must be worried about some future impact. Which specific one? How does this move cause problems that otherwise would not exist?

In general, to the other contributions which could have been sarcastic: noise is harmful. Many people do not even perceive it, but that is because numbness has become a value (though perception is) - and numbness will reveal its non-efficacy as an armour the moment one's nerves will be worn out enough. I will repeat: noise is something some people sneer at - until they break. So, there has to be a proportionate justification to be noisy.

I'm being an armchair politicologist here, but parties that do that tend to get isolated by the other parties, as a result don't get to govern, and as a result don't grow further. The fact that parties are destined to cooperate also forces them to tone down the "if you aren't with us you're against us" rhetoric.
I like this quote by Bukowski:

>If you are you going to try, go all the way.

With regards to roam or any note taking tool, try to look up how power users are using it. Many users freely share their work flow. I wouldnt recommend buying a course or if you can afford, go ahead.

Try to set it as homepage. It should be the first thing that you should open. Learn to capture small tidbits of information. And mark a time of calender weekly to tidy up your notes.

Try this for four weeks, you will notice that it really helps in organizing thoughts in your brain. Ymmv though.
OSSU is not exactly that, as it uses only courses where you can enrol.

"The OSSU curriculum is a complete education in computer science using online materials. It's not merely for career training or professional development. It's for those who want a proper, well-rounded grounding in concepts fundamental to all computing disciplines, and for those who have the discipline, will, and (most importantly!) good habits to obtain this education largely on their own, but with support from a worldwide community of fellow learners.

It is designed according to the degree requirements of undergraduate computer science majors, minus general education (non-CS) requirements, as it is assumed most of the people following this curriculum are already educated outside the field of CS. The courses themselves are among the very best in the world, often coming from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc., but specifically chosen to meet the following criteria.

Courses must:

Be open for enrollment
Run regularly (ideally in self-paced format, otherwise running multiple times per year)
Be of generally high quality in teaching materials and pedagogical principles
Match the curricular standards of the CS 2013: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Science
When no course meets the above criteria, the coursework is supplemented with a book. When there are courses or books that don't fit into the curriculum but are otherwise of high quality, they belong in extras/courses or extras/readings."

Not a big surprise. Transition to CO2 emission-free economy will be very, very costly. This is just the beginning. People don't realize this yet, one day they will connect the dots and will be angry - they were promised a better World, instead they will be poor, in addition overall World emission will not drop, since many countries (China, Russia, other Asian countries, Africa will join the club too soon) does not give the slightest crap about CO2 stuff (just check carbon tracker website and check plans for new coal power plants that will built in Asia soon).

People need to understand that we can go the route Greta Thunberg, "Fit for 55" advocates want, which basically means moving western civilization back to XVII century, but then the spending's structure will be also the same as in XVII century. 90% of income will go to food, no more fancy vacations, no more iPhones, 0.1% of the population will be wealthy, the rest will leave at the edge of poverty.

That's why any CO2 emission lowering initiative that does not take into account economical reality and puts large part of the population into poverty is very dangerous. It can lead to serious social unrest, the rise of populist parties, which will revert all the pro-eco regulation, leading to even more CO2 emission at the end.

This is not the first time Eco-activists let us down. Their (largely successful) war on nuclear energy plants moved us to the point where we are now in terms of CO2 emission. For the past 50 years there was hardly any significant research done on nuclear energy and those who worked in the academia on the subject were treated almost like holocaust deniers. No surprise nuclear energy plants are still very expensive and we don't have good use for nuclear wastes (which are not really wastes, they emit energy that could be reused with the right tech).

While your analysis is sound, I wouldn't disregard a Carrington type of event. It can happen again and we never know where. None of our current electronic infrastructures are hardened to handle this kind solar storm/EMP. IPFS is a good direction in mitigate these kinds of centralised data risk.

Diversifying one's cloud/server provider is a good thing! Or simply don't rely only on the cloud. Storage devices are cheap now days, just have local backup and/or in different geographical location.

This is why it is so hard to catch arsonists. You pay in advance and if they don't torch the building, a conviction is very difficult.
Healthy food gets hit just as much where I live (UK). Especially the meat prices have skyrocketed.

In isolation. Saying it days after flying an air-to-ground-assault-capable wing of aircraft in the day, and a smaller strike force in the evening shows that it's nonsense.

You don't run operations against people you have peaceful intentions towards.

All that excitement that he felt over the years every time he extracted a few pages or pictures of secret documents thinking one day he will have enough. All the preparation for the exchange and the text that he left in all the drops makes me believe that he did this for the adrenaline and money. Also if the speculations are true and the COUTNRY 1 is France I think in his mind he thought that he was not doing harm to USA by selling it to Russia or China and also gets to play spy and get away with some money. I wish I can see his face when he gets arrested.
OP is dissing one app, but making a generalised comment on all software apps in the tuner/metronome category.

There is no shortage of well done apps that cost very little (most of them cheaper than the cheapest korg tuner) and packing in way more functionality. If OP's comment was something to the tune (heh) of "I tried a bunch of paid top-rated apps and I prefer my hardware tuner", I'd consider it a fair comparison.
> my gut reaction was actually "good -- I hope that makes other fuel sources more competitive". I then realised that I am not an economist, and that it would have the opposite effect -- increasing production.

Not a economist either, but those are not exclusive.

Also, this is not the case here, but ever lowering demands triggers structural prices increase at some point, due do scale cost reduction not working anymore, but you won't see investments in production either.

I wish more businesses operated this way. Doesn’t mean you can’t use AWS Managed offerings of open api/source products (e.g. EKS, rds, s3).

The strategy provides for healthy friction and drives customer obsession by the vendor.
So the interesting thing about the chosen example is that the brothels already operate compliantly enough in a regulated environment but those environments typically are marginalizing them in a variety of ways such as with zoning and exchange listings.

There is definitely room for price discovery in that industry from an environment with free floating shares. It only takes an enterpriser getting a little greedy or an existing shareholder bundling up their stake in a fund.

Capital formation in the crypto markets rivals VC’s fiat activity, but it is mostly crypto native purchasers for crypto native infrastructure. The systems do work for trusted centralized physical establishments, and the regulatory environments typically just require notice in the state's register. Those societies are comfortable with private sector exchanges being the gatekeepers in how people raise capital and plan exits, and have not factored in the reality where they are completely circumvented and marginalized industries grow, compliantly, and very quickly.

VAERS is unverified, unfiltered user-generated content.

> “Many of these types of claims that we hear are actually a misrepresentation of the VAERS data,” Vasudevan said.

> The pace of reporting has picked up: In North Carolina alone, roughly 70,000 reports have come in related to the COVID vaccines — more than triple the total back in May, when CBS 17 explained what the database does — and does not — tell you.

> “It is reasonable to expect that reports on VAERS increase whenever there is a new vaccine on the market,” Vasudevan said. “And that’s definitely what we are seeing with COVID.”

> What the system makes perfectly clear: It does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between any vaccine and those side effects. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explicitly says the reports “may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental and unverified information.”

> Among the reported side effects of the COVID vaccines in North Carolina: Yawning, fractures, a foot deformity, and wisdom tooth removal.

> She estimates that 85 percent of the reports on VAERS are “either completely unrelated to vaccinations, or about events that pose little to no concern.”

I highly doubt you can buy 2 pounds (900 g) of coffee, which is a month supply for 7 euros. The cheapest coffee I've seen in Italy is about 2 euros for 250 g.
Yes, fair observation. The hacker mentality is a good way to describe it.

I think AI will keep us very busy over the next decade. There are a lot of individual issues of a legal nature where AI creates some non-trivial challenges (equality, privacy, intellectual property) and there’s also some more fundamental themes which challenge some of the liberal underpinnings of our legal system. There’s a lot of hyperbole around AI but at least some of the wild predictions of change will probably bear out in practice.

I think that my colleagues see the value in the advice I give; either that or they’re too polite to tell me otherwise. Clients seem happy to pay for the advice, which is a good indicator, although I now work in-house because in private practice it is a difficult area to scale. (This is more a reflection on how much of private practice has become about leveraging a lean team of junior lawyers to transactional work at bulk scale; even multi-million dollar corporate M&A or real estate deals can be very repetitive in nature. AI will eventually eat this type of work. Ref: Richard Susskind.)

There’s still a bit of scepticism that tech is a standalone discipline. I can see the argument both ways. I believe that it is helpful to have lawyers who understand all of the legal implications of e.g. AI, across multiple legal disciplines, and so can give general counsel. I practice elements of privacy, IP, contract, discrimination, regulatory law etc. etc. all as they affect tech. On the other hand, there are situations where it might be better to have deeply specialist advice with a tech overlay. Where necessary, I will partner with my colleagues. The idea is that the client gets legal advice that is correct both as a matter of law and on application to the technology they are working on.
Some financial facts that help explain the situation: over the past 10 years US airlines have spent about 95% of their free cash flows on stock buybacks. This is the money they could have used to have a buffer to deal with these situations or to improve their systems. Why do they care so much about their stock price over long term sustainability? In 2020, Southwest lost 3.1 billion dollars and took 6 billions of government money, but executives increased their own compensation by 5% to 14% and the CEO paid himself 9 millions dollars, of which 7 millions were in stock.

As if implementing value types in a backwards compatible way that also modifies generics to work with them would be a trivial task..

Also, Oracle does pay plenty for the development of Java, and is a (surprisingly) good steward of the language, let’s drop all the blind hate.

And both in terms of GC and JIT, the JVM ecosystem is ahead, the reason they can be so head-to-head is that the CLR doesn’t hide lower level controls all that much, allowing for better hand-tuned programs (at the price of the resulting code not getting “automatically” faster in a possible future release)
Yes, inflation has an inertia all its own, and causes a certain amount of strife as all those prices and especially wages are re-negotiated, since wage negotiation often has to be accompanied by strikes.

The introduction of the Brazilian Real was a surprisingly effective tactic to derail inflation in the previous currency; changing over the currency and promising "this time it's different" actually worked.

> Last time it happened the federal reserve increased the interest rate to 20%

This technique has since been refined and central banks have got really good at controlling inflation through rates. The cost is borne through unemployment being kept above the "NAIRU".
Except for narcotics conspiracies (Title 21), plain old Title 18 conspiracies require an act "in furtherance" of the conspiracy by ONE of the conspirators. Buying a map of the area around the bank your team plans to rob is sufficient.

(A drug conspiracy requires no "act in furtherance.")

So if you are "just joking" with your team and one of them takes your joke seriously and purchases bank robbery supplies or puts an SD card into a sandwich you are liable.
That'd be all out war. I'm not sure they are that insane.

Parent's point seems like what they're doing here. Trading underage porn is illegal, as well as revenge porn in some places, etc. so they forbid that and allow legal porn. Seems like they really are doing "all legal things and no illegal things" more accurately, and it really is burdensome to everyone.

"But calibrating that response raises questions of principle, practice and priority. Businesses will go their own way. Some, such as PayPal, Visa and MasterCard, which handled donations to WikiLeaks, and Amazon, which provided web-hosting services, have dumped it as a customer in response to American outrage. More may follow. They risk attacks from its fans, just as those that refuse face hostility from their customers in America. Too bad: business is full of hard choices."

media blackout.
Not surprised. I lost 10kg in 2 months by simply tracking what I was eating, and switching to foods that had better calorie to nutrient ratio. Not only that, but I stopped using the calorie counter and in a year since, only put 2kg back on. Started using the counter again a while back and that 2kg was fine in a few weeks. In fact, I'm starting to run into a different problem: not enough calories! I just rescued two dogs who require about 15km of daily walks, and I literally "don't have the energy" to do a run or pick up weights. So I'm now using my Garmin / Nutracheck combo again to make sure I'm getting enough calories and protein. Turns out, I'm undereating. My updated food choices leave me feeling "full", but undernourished for my new regime. So I've had to replace some of the other veg with potatoes, and some of the curry with rice.

There's a multi-billion dollar industry surrounding what is simply 'calorie accounting', because we're terrible food accountants. Who here knows how many calories are in the food they most commonly eat? What about protein content? Essential fats? Because it's a balancing act that you cannot do blindfolded.

I don't know why people seem to find it easier to eat absolutely nothing for a whole day, than subtly change what and how much they eat.

My tips, for anyone who's interested: don't go some branded, unsustainable diet. Just track your calories, and get a simple step counter. I use Nutracheck because it's developed in the UK, I think, so almost any product barcode is likely to scan. I use it during cooking, and save regular meals so I don't need to use the app again, except to add a preset meal to my day. Failing that, go long-hand and use the nutrition label and a notepad, but come on: this is HN! Use technology!

The first thing you notice is that pizza is the devil, and "that's too much (rice/potatoes/bread/pasta)!". Replacing cream (in cooking) with fat-free cream cheese is awesome. In fact, Lightest Philadelphia is now in all of my soups and sauces because it provides protein and creamy consistency almost for free. I've always loved Indian food, so I make a one pot curry with eggplant, chickpeas and low-fat paneer, and treat it like a stew! (No rice at all!)

When cooking, load up as much as you want on vegetables (excluding potatoes).

Above all, cook. Or learn to cook. Even if you live in a tiny apartment you can get a blender, a slow cooker and an air-fryer (good for baking). Soup is amazing. Get stock cubes, vegetables, fat-free cream cheese and canned tomatoes.

Food is something you do every day of your life, so it's kind of important that you know what you're eating and take the driver's seat in selecting it. Biggest change for me was: weigh your ingredients when you're cooking. Get yourself a good vegetarian cook book, add chicken or fish to the recipes if you're inclined. Molly Katsen's books are seriously amazing. She manages to come up with very simple combinations of taste and texture that are out of this world.
