What are the benefits of a nuclear submarine force for Australia (Or Brazil for that matter)? Maintenance and operating costs are much higher, nuclear subs are less stealthy, and the primary benefit of long-term 'anywhere' nuclear deterrence is irrelevant for a non-nuclear force like Australia.

As I understand it, the Australian Navy patrols a relatively small portion of the ocean near their home continent. Do they have any reason at all to need three-month patrol capability?
> When a court declines to hear an appeal, they are simply saying that the below court handled the case appropriately.

No, they emphatically are not.

When a courts with discretionary appellate jurisdiction (in the US federal judiciary that's mostly the Supreme Court) declines an appeal, it is not the same as saying the court below is right, its saying “we have limited time and this case and the question it presents isn't important enough for us to spend time reviewing in detail, either procedurally or on the merits”.

There are fairly well-known factors that influence decisions to take cases by the Supreme Court (the issue having a thin record at the apellate level being a negative factor, a conflict between the circuits on a question being a positive one, among many others) that have nothing to do with whether the case is right or wrong, but have more to do with whether it raises issues that have been well vetted and for which there is some urgency (as arises from inconsistent application of the law) to resolve.

> To say that SCOTUS "refuses" to hear cases on Terry cases, they are saying that the lower courts were correct.

No, they aren't.

> It's not like they are dodging their responsibilities when declining to hear an appeal.

In general, no, because making those decisions on hearing cases is their responsibility. The particular decisions can be instances of non-, mis-, or mal-feasance in those duties, though.

You're going at it wrong. There's all kinds of money begging to fund a tech idea. Come up with an idea that sounds dumb and just differentiates a bit from a normal business, then look to get funded by a VC.

Keep in mind that Donald Trump now is worth more than twice the valuation of the NY Times and it only took a few days.

All kinds of money out there looking to fund an idea that can be loosely rationalized by a slide deck.

Unsigned integers are also, trivially, asymmetrical. Floats are symmetrical at the cost of redundant encodings. Fundamentally a binary representation of b bits can support 2^b values. 2^b is even, and any symmetric range that includes zero has an odd number of distinct values, so a binary representation must either be asymmetric, contain undefined values, or contain redundant encodings (e.g. negative zero).

> The court records show that the FBI sought Lavabit's Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) private key. Levison objected, saying that the key would allow the government to access communications by all 400,000 customers of Lavabit. He also offered to add code to his servers that would provide the information required just for the target of the order. The court rejected this offer because it would require the government to trust Levison and stated that just because the government could access all customers' communication did not mean they would be legally permitted to do so. Lavabit was ordered to provide the SSL key in machine readable format by noon, August 5 or face a fine of $5000 per day.[28] Levison closed down Lavabit 3 days later.

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Now I understand where Java is heading for. The aesthetics regarding withers concerns me a bit though, because I don't like prepending anything to the name of an acceessor (a transformer, in this case?), which was why I liked the idea of properties in the first place.

I hope both Java and Kotlin can converge into a common coding style. As you said regarding C#, Kotlin's emphasis on properties makes it easier to use getters and setters and thus may hinder getting rid of them in the Java ecosystem. I'm not sure if I should support Kotlin's success at this point.
If you stay strictly in the procedural/OO paradigm then sure: it's just a new std lib and syntax. When you jump to functional, logical, or more esoteric paradigms things start to get pretty different.

Of course if you've already got one of each major paradigm under your belt things get progressively easier because you're exposed to more ideas...

One of the things which always annoyed me about this story as it is traditionally told is the claim that Photograph 51 was "Franklin's data" -- some stories even claim that she literally made this photo. She didn't. It was made by a student, Raymond Gosling, who worked with both Franklin and Wilkins. Ultimately it was his data from his project. Was he okay with Wilkins providing it to Watson and Crick? That's a question that is generally ignored.
Oh yeah. I had to wait somewhere between 5 and 10 years before a copy finally surfaced online for <$120. I was terrified as I spent the $28 that the seller was going to realize what a huge pricing mistake they had made and would cancel my order (which happens occasionally), or that I'd get a different book (also happens occasionally...). Still, I scanned it myself just because getting another copy would be so hard.

>There is no requirement to evaluate the truth value of an ill defined, nonsensical or self-contradictory claim.

Calling a claim "ill defined, nonsensical or self-contradictory" is already an evaluation of it's probable truth value.

> Note that the position that OP advanced, and which you appear to be defending is that the bare fact of the existence of a consensus should be treated as primary evidence on its own.

Actually, the person you responded to clearly stated: "how should I evaluate truth in a subject matter that I myself don't have a doctorate in". For someone well-versed in the area, or at least with enough free time to become sufficiently acquainted with it, going to directly to primary evidence is the optimal approach. However, in the situation described by OP, were they are limited in the amount of time and cognitive capacity they can invest, then basing decisions on such "Secondary evidence" as expert consensus is the rational approach.

There's a whole crop of aerospace startups now wasting their time on electric airframes that are 10-20 years ahead of their time in terms of battery capability. It's a classic case of solving the easy problem first.

Yes, there can be some tragedy of the commons issues, but a lot of the time, that's really an issue of a stable versus unstable equilibrium. You would be surprised by how many people insist on an unstable equilibrium and ask government to try to stabilize it, which often ends up being quite expensive. But it does happen. However most tragedy of the commons issues are not new and there are already established ways of dealing with them.

In the specific case of SUVs, almost all SUVs sold are actually lifted sedans. They don't have much worse mileage or weigh more than the corresponding sedans. Nor are they better in crashes. It's more of a culture war item where some people really hate those who drive the SUVs -- soccer moms, etc. Here the issue is that a lower center of gravity (and a stiffer ride) creates better handling, but an SUV is more comfortable and is easier to get in and out of. And it usually features a soft suspension. So there are a lot of car enthusiasts that hate SUVs because it's a rejection of their values, and a lot of Europeans that prefer wagons to SUVs are offended by someone wanting to sit higher up.

Now yes, there is a situation in which higher cars make it more valuable to sit higher up, but that difference of being 1 foot higher doesn't really destroy visibility, it's psychological. The most popular SUV -- RAV4 has a height of 5.6 feet -- whereas the most popular sedan of 2020 (Camry) has a height of 4.77 feet. That 1 foot difference is not going to destroy visibility and does not represent some out of control thing. The difference in weight is about 100 pounds (3500 for Rav4 and 3400 for Camry). RAV4 gets 30mpg combined -- same as the Camry. These are not huge differences to justify the rage many have at SUVs. Just give the SUV in front of you a bit more room and your visibility will be fine, nor does the RAV4 force other people to get a RAV4 due to collisions.
> The concept is great, but the push for mass market adoption bugs me.

> These things are not efficient modes of transport. It takes a lot of energy to move one person from A to B.

Will you not entertain the possibility that a form of travel using geodesic distance may be more efficient? Going from Brooklyn to Manhattan and bypassing traffic, for example (a small body of water where flying across would be more efficient for those not familiar)? Or iterative improvements to it, if it gains adoption, would improve whatever numbers you're using for your energy requirements? Or that it may reduce our need to make new infrastructure, and that may also reduce energy costs?

There are a lot of things here to be so certain.

The first Mac with a T2 chip was the iMac Pro 2017, and that product line was discontinued as of March 5, 2021. Does Apple still sell machines without an equivalent level of TPM?

For what it's worth, it looks like macOS tends to support hardware that's up to 7 years old[0] and macOS versions tend to stay supported for about 3 years[1].

My guess is that by 2027, all Windows and macOS releases for non-enterprise users will either require a TPM or be out of security support, and governments will start banning the latter versions from accessing the internet.

As with most tech, it does seem like a Pandora's Box in terms of outcomes. Especially regulatory/safety issues.

I come from India, where median folks have a complete and utter disregard for traffic rules and safety regulations. I can't begin to think how we would adopt a technology like this. I mean, how would we start, how would traffic merge? Can we restrict/regulate the flow of vehicles in thin air?

The fact that this is a tech+social problem interests me even more.

Sure, everything you are saying is correct, but you two are basically concerned about different problems, and, FWIW, I'm honestly more concerned about your "opponent"'s one. All this CO₂ emission stuff got way more political lately than it perhaps should be, so I can easily imagine selling stuff made out of bastardized wood as "eco-friendly" to the concerned customers, while in reality, production and everything else accounted for it will be more net-harmful for the ecology than the "traditional" (plastic or otherwise) alternative. And (risking to start another flamewar here) even that being put aside, I'm not even sure we should be as much concerned about CO₂ emissions as we currently are...

In the meanwhile, we somehow stop focusing on the whole bunch of other problems, that definitely aren't gonna solve themselves as well. Like, the fact that the oceans are turning into a huge dumpster for plastics that aren't going to magically dissolve in the next couple of hundreds of years. Or like we are only concerned about burning oil not being "green energy", and somehow skip over the fact, that we are literally burning millions of tons of substance each day, that we cannot produce and that doesn't renew itself (practically speaking), while being the ONLY substance suitable for making thousands of materials that we use to build basically everything for the last 50 of years (and it doesn't seem like we are going to find a better alternative soon).

Arithmetic operations are never done in a type narrower than int. int8_t is necessarily narrower than int (int must be able to represent at least the range -32767..32767), so in -x the x is promoted to int, then negated.
The one true takeaway of agile is measurement, metrics, and accountability. Your boss was sold on agile on the premise that it lets him keep continuous, precise tabs on you and the entire team, to ensure that y'all are hitting the OKRs for this quarter and so that when something goes wrong, the guilty party and what they did can be identified; or when the schedule slips, the laggard can be identified. This is the reason why shops are so gung ho about agile development. And this, I am forced to conclude, is agile. A game of Mornington Crescent in which the shop pretends to care about the stuff in the left column when the actual goal is to create a work environment so precisely measured, controlled, and optimized it makes Fred Taylor cum in his grave.
> Maintenance and operating costs are much higher, nuclear subs are noisier

Diesel-electrics submerged are quieter for a short time at any significant speed, or a couple days at very low speed, while nuclear subs are nearly as quiet, at speed, for much longer, without a tactical time/speed tradeoff. This is why pretty much everyone who can afford them uses nuclear attack subs in preference to diesel-electrics.

A I understand it, one important consideration is, if you might want to shadow targets during a crisis because orders might come in to take them out, you need to be able to do extended quiet operations without compromising speed to make that work.

Well for one, it has a repl. As per single core performance, javascript is faster and has had first-class-functions from the beginning.

and you don't need 10 lines of code to print hello something to the screen.

don't get me wrong, JS has its warts (and oh my god that is indeed the case.) but you can literally run it in any browser any where, which makes for an excellent teaching aid.

Building this started a several years long obsession with hovercrafts. Multiple science fair projects, digging on the internet, etc. My family ended up taking a trip to Europe and I was able to ride across the channel from Calais to Dover on a giant hovercraft.

Apple’s only mistake here is in not defaulting to a below the notch traditional revealed menu bar and an auto-hidden menu option. The user could then use a new “reveal” option to move the menu bar into the notch area. It would feel like getting a freebie then, instead of the notch feeling like it’s taking something away.

Reveal + !autohide = always visible, reveal + autohide = normally a black bezel. !reveal = default = menu appears below the notch and bezel is black
