> The history of these big mountain operations in Afghanistan is basically one of "let's send more troops/use bigger bombs/etc. etc." and it never got us anywhere.

Except in the Battle of Tora Bora, where the commanders on the ground said that the 100 troops deployed to the area were insufficient to push into a heavily fortified mountainous region.

And they're right. If those 100 troops pushed in, they would have been massacred. More troops absolutely would have helped at that time.

Plenty of airplanes dropped plenty of bombs. But the use of air-deployed land mines was not authorized, which could have also helped (GATOR mines self-detonate after 15 days, to minimize risks to the local population after battle. They are further battery-operated, and are designed to run out of battery in case the self-detonation fails)

The gloves were still on. We could have easily used more force in that battle, but decided against it.

---------

Traditionally, you need to outnumber your opponent 3 to 1 if you wish to lay siege to an enemy in their home territory. At some point, just raw manpower is what you need.

As you said: we dropped plenty of bombs in that battle, but bombs aren't boots on the ground. You need people there to know if the bombs are in fact hitting their mark.
Can you solder? Because in my experience with corded headphones the first thing to fail is the cord itself.
I'd argue the security updates do the opposite and speed it up. For example some recent ones is that the apps can't access your camera, microphone, or location if they're not in use. This should cut down a lot on resource usage.

Has there ever been any instance of someone being turned down for a job because they had FB on their resume? I see this sentiment pop up a lot on HN but when it comes down to it you could always explain it away with “it was my only offer at the time and I had crushing student debt and/or medical expenses to take of”.

If someone has moral qualms about working at FB that’s a different issue but the whole “don’t want to be shunned at dinner parties or future jobs” thing seems to be all self-inflected and unnecessary.
Phones have only become bigger, while smart watches exist and definitely didn’t replace smartphones. Hour is an information that fits on your wrist. Everything else needs a bigger display…

I think the solution is for historical emitters to pay the rest to forgo fossil-fuel based economic growth.

Obviously, this would not happen: historical emitters also have the most political power.

The US and EU's success at killing the "loss and damages" mechanism is an example of this dynamic at play. (This was supported by countries representing 85% of the world's population.)
I have rented my entire life. I just bought my first 'home' which is a condo (with a reasonable HOA). I bought it with savings and no debt. I feel lucky.

I can't tell you how nice it is to not have to worry about rent. How nice it is to feel like if I want to change something about my home, I can and I'm not just improving someone else's capex. How nice it feels to know that I can travel and leave the place empty for a year without worrying about subletting it.

You seem jaded.

Bose experience is very underwhelming for a $300 pair. Mandatory iOS app to change many settings, it fights me every day about the active noise cancellation (I want it off but it keeps turning on), using the microphone seems to bug out 70% of the time, opening the “Input” tab on MacOS sound settings makes them all crackly until I turn them off.. just an absurd amount of problems. I’m very happy with my corded audio technicas over 10+ years I’ve had them and surprisingly the wireless buds I got off Amazon (Tozo T-6). Even though those still have about 25% of the issues the boses have
The inflation adjusted $/sqft statement is a blended average across the US. It’s lower outside of towns and higher inside towns. This is tracked by the Census bureau but as always with averages there are values on both sides of the mean. [1]

One caveat is it does reflect only new construction.

My understanding is that tiling window managers went out with the first versions of MS Windows back in the early 90s.

I’m truly confused. Why would anyone want tiling window managers in the modern era?
The problem with these UN agreements promising money is that the leaders still have to go home and get those appropriations passed.

So even if 85% of the world's population wants to get money, whether or not the money is provided will depend on the 15% that has to pay. It's not a situation where you can take a vote and majority rules.

So if you are running the conference and deciding to make a decision based on a vote, then your choice is to promise money and then not deliver or not promise. The former destroys the credibility of the conference, and that's an important consideration for why conferences aren't run by rules in which countries can vote themselves aid from other nations.

No. ECC is different from RSA because elliptic curve cryptography uses a more advanced mathematical basis than factoring primes.

That 256 bit ECC key is worth a 3072 bit RSA keys. At some point though people with access to quantum machines will be able to break that encryption.
When you add a root certificate to a browser, typically it is configured to accept BOTH the added cert and the built-in/system certs. There would certainly be no reason not to in this case.

Money aside, there's a big difference in lifestyle (some might say quality of life) of homeowners vs renters. There's a lot you can do in a property you own yourself that you simply cannot do in a rental. It's hard to put a price on being able to customize things exactly to your liking. For example I recently had 20 year old thermostat replaced with a Nest thermostat that gives me a lot more flexibility and efficiency in how I heat my home; I never would have made that type of change in a rental. I can paint whatever I want without permission from the landlord. Ditto for having pets.

And greater housing security in old age is very appealing. That people will need a place to live even after they stop working is something even the financially illiterate can understand and plan for with home ownership. For my parents who are retired on a fixed income, having a paid off home is the difference between a comfortable enough retirement lifestyle and being stressed a landlord is going to claim an even greater share of their meager income with every passing year. As owners they still have exposure to property tax increases, but that's modest compared to escalating market rents.
The free market adjusts to its demand you know. So its not that companies need the cheap labor. The cheap labor demands to live there. And thusly the companies exploit that.
so your worldview is that possible futures split into one scenario of blood in the streets and another of "cyberfeudalism"

Our eyes are not taking a single still photo, they’re taking in real life in real time. Our eyes constantly adapt to changing conditions as we look around a room. This capability is finite though, as anyone who has walked out of a dark room into the midday sun has experienced.

The limitation in all photographic technologies has to do with the fundamental light gathering mechanism. In the case of photographic film, it is grains of photosensitive chemicals such as silver halides. In the case of digital cameras it is photosensitive semiconductors called CCDs or CMOS sensors. These sensors (chemical and digital) operate by collecting photons during the exposure. In either case, and with our eyes too, they can only collect so many photons before they “fill up.”

In the case of film, this meant enough photons had arrived at the grain of silver halide to provide it with the energy needed to cause the reaction to take place. This reaction causes an irreversible change in the colour of the grain. In the case of digital sensors, when enough photons arrive the device stores its maximum possible charge which is then read out and converted to a number (usually the maximum number for that integer type).

So then why can’t we make photographic technology that can gather a larger number of photons before “filling up”? It’s a tradeoff. The larger we make the (sensors or film grains) the more capacity for light gathering (called dynamic range) they have, but the lower the resolution they have. Unfortunately, in the world of consumer devices, resolution (megapixels) is king.

The fundamental problem we’re dealing with in nature is that the dynamic range of real life is many orders of magnitude. Outdoor midday sunlight can be something like a hundred million photons per second per pixel whereas night time under starlight that falls to less than one photon per second per pixel.
You don't (or shouldn't) join an early stage startup with the expectation that you'll get rich by any measure from the equity. You join an early stage startup because you likely want to eventually found your own startup in which you'll own > 50% of it. That's your shot at getting rich. The experience as an early stage employee just exposes you to the chaos and ups and downs of it all, and if it goes well then yeah maybe you make some money, but even more worthwhile is the connections you make in the process (other employees plus potentially the VCs who invested and may ultimately invest in you down the line).

*edit: realized I didn't actually address the question of topic - I would expect the range to be between 0.25% and 0.75%

Whenever I've done it I've always gone with #2, wireless non buds. I've gotten multiple pairs. While they don't get lost, I have always ended up with two fundamental problems with them

#1 Bluebooth connectivity to computers. If I was just using my phone they were mostly fine, but at a computer it was a constant fight to get them to connect, to work with whatever app I'm using, and especially when I'm switching back and forth between using them for listening to music or using them to video conference. This might also be partly because Linux is my main driver, but having to switch back and forth between high quality audio output for music and two way cell phone quality audio sucks.

#2 Having owned multiple pairs over the years, none of them would connect over Bluetooth while charging. Let me make my wireless headphones temporarily wired.

At this point I use an over the ear headphone with a mic and a USB DAC. I specifically only get phones with a minijack so I could use them with that too.

Texas has low density, affordable home prices and a lot of growth.

NYC has high density, unaffordable pricing and little growth.

CNN and the Washington Post were forced to pay millions of dollars for smearing Nick Sandmann.
I see a lot of fellow millenials thinking that the only way to escape the poverty trap that is being chronically burdened by onerous rent payments is to "play the game", i.e. to do all of the house hacking stuff to by MFUs, live-in-and-flip, or whatever the thing to do is.

There is no doubt that this stuff can work. If you become a very savvy investor, you can start seeing net positive on your housing as an investment.

However, what doesn't get written up is the horrible downsides of this, e.g. not being able to find tenants because of a market miscalculation and then being financially screwed for years to come, or having a crappy contractor try to fix your house only to have to deal with their faulty stuff for a year or more while getting another contractor to fix it.

I decided that I don't want to become a "real estate guru" just to avoid paying rent, so I just found a small apartment that was well within my salary and leveraged my existing CS skillset to almost quadruple my compensation within about 3-4 years of studying my ass off and making the right career hops. I am still paying miniscule rent on a small place, but I spend almost no time in my apartment; I'm either at work, or climbing a mountain somewhere. Perhaps I "should" buy a house, but as there is a huge surplus of ADUs as everyone else is trying to house hack (i.e. supply is large!), I can spend a teensy tiny portion of my income "wasted" on rent while spending none of my time worrying about housing issues or avoiding financial ruin in a risky bet.

Basically, this house hacking stuff is about leveraging your time to hopefully produce a monetary gain. You have to learn how to not get absolutely screwed over in some of the largest financial outflows you'll ever make in your life, and it's easy to get screwed when much larger fish (e.g. black rock) are way more savvy than you.

This obviously doesn't apply if a 1br/1ba is not for you (e.g. you have a family) or you want to have a home for sentimental reasons.

edit: Basically, what I'm trying to say is that there is a huge, life-altering downside to failing at the real estate game, but there is almost no downside to mastering a new, valuable skill that can lead towards a better job (and more pay).
Another random software engineer claiming a fundamental theoretical problem irrelevant...

Queuing theory deals with the stochastic behavior of a discreet event in at a single queue, and possibly multiple ones connected in some structured manner.

It's importance is that it can determine before hand what are the stochastic boundary of the system.

Your whole idea of 99 events and 101 events are so strawman that I don't know where to start poking at the holes...

For one thing, the rate of something has its definition, there is jitter or busyness. To say something has a rate is plainly a impractical concept. As there is nothing in the network that had steady rate...

Edit:
I should stand corrected that the parent does not really miss the meaning of queuing theory. It was just that I only read the first paragraph.
I refuse to ever work for facebook or have a facebook account. I regret having a whatsapp account, created before it was acquired. Still migrating friends+family onto signal. I get it, Facebook has scale and some cool hard problems to solve, and comp packages that are hard to ignore. I'm sure slavery looked pretty attractive too (don't get me wrong, I'm not equating the severity of these things). I just can't imagine having to explain to people in 20 years time how or why I put profit and personal gain ahead of legitimate social issues. How is it defensible? I probably clocked the issues a bit earlier than some, which is why I never created an account. Please just leave facebook and delete your accounts.
>Windows 2000 running in VM in Docker. Might as well skip the docker stage as it does not really add anything.

Arguably, it adds the ability to have a network of them, set to different virtual networks in an easier manner than regular qemu bridging.

At least that was my first thought. Then again a)I'm really bad at qemu so anything that makes things easier is welcome b)I'm even worse at working with Docker.

(Hence "arguably" ;-))
The main difference of note is virtual desktops (typically 10). While it may seem like a large limitation to not have overlapping windows (aside from modern tiling managers also having the ability to have floating windows) having multiple workspaces automatically partitioned into useful layouts that can be called instantly (rather than tabbing through windows lists or otherwise selecting something with a mouse) can be beneficial to some people's workflows.

It's not the end all be all of how you can use a computer, but some people manage to make it quite effective and fast to have a keyboard driven tiling wm.
I'm not sure what was the use case back then, but today plus-sized 4k+ screens or ultra wide screens are commonplace. There's simply too much real estate for a single application window.

So the way it works in NY IIRC, you can get an approval and not actually act on it, and the reason you can do this is because the approval can be sold with the property, which isn't an uncommon thing.

NYC does not track construction starts like that, or at least not when that article was written
The signal lag is a huge problem. When you go a few stages through a supply chain, a gradual variation in consumer demand turns into huge whiplashes in demand. This is called "the bullwhip effect" and is a huge problem in supply chain management.

The difference is that the CNN and the Washington Post don't intentionally lie:

> The AG’s report highlighted how Mr. O’Keefe edited his videos to appear as if he was engaging in his ACORN hi-jinks wearing “stereotypical 1970’s pimp garb”, the intent being to suggest that ACORN employees would willingly do business with someone dressed in this manner. However, it turns out that O'Keefe was actually wearing a coat and tie when he entered the ACORN offices. The report also stated that ACORN employees "may be able to bring a private suit against O'Keefe and Giles for recording a confidential conversation.”

The Washington Post and CNN might be reckless and get things wrong, but that doesn't really compare to the intentional dishonesty from Project Veritas.

It's the exact opposite situation from what you describe, which is why it has been newsworthy. But I don't understand how your takeaway became the opposite of the described reality.
The issue really is about supply and demand, right? The US has artificially limited supply through restrictive zoning.

Better to fix the supply side than just say "move to texas".

Please don't conflate carbon emissions with air quality. Poor air quality (as measured by AQI) is not caused by high CO2 emissions, even if there's a correlation.

Indian cities do have an air quality problem, but there are other factors at play here. The most densely populated cities in India are landlocked, which means very little wind and no way for suspended particles to disperse. This coupled with practices like crop-burning are what cause "pollution". It has nothing to do with carbon emissions. India doesn't even come close to the per capita carbon emissions of a country like the United States.
