I mean... ISIS-K / Daesh is still murdering people in Afghanistan, even after we've left.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/world/asia/afghanistan-mo...

Considering that the Daesh / ISIS-K organization is so freakishly violent that they're attacking the _TALIBAN_ for being too moderate, gives you everything you need to know about that group.

For better or worse, ISIS-K is the Taliban's problem for now. But I do worry that the Taliban are going to be toppled by ISIS-K, and once ISIS-K is in power they'll use Afghanistan as a training center to launch international attacks from.

Or Syria, or Iraq. ISIS-K has strength in a fair number of regions. They clearly don't care "which" land they get, they just want some land / safe havens to train up and grow in strength.

Brutally killing civilians is their modus operandi. USA hides it when we do it because we're at least embarrassed about it and nominally against that sort of thing..

Unfortunately, we have more important things to worry about and prepare for.

I've never plugged any TV into a network, except as absolutely necessary for application development (my company used to do those). I fear this might no longer be enough in some possible future - if enough people don't connect their TVs, I could imagine manufacturers equipping the TVs with always-on LTE/5G modems. (You don't need airplane mode if you can't realistically use it on an airplane anyway.)
Our electric grids aren't designed for distributed generation- they are centrally planned and maintained.

Every person that generates their own electricity stops paying their fair share of maintaining the grid, forcing poorer people who cannot afford their own rooftops to subsidize them. It is actually quite regressive- the denser the population center, the less electricity per person can be generated by solar. The electricity might be free, but the cost of maintaining the grid never goes away.
Your comment would be better if it had a reason for why.
But that seems to only be an issue when they are literally dumped in a landfill.

In the case above, where they are mounted, why would it be an issue? Or, are you saying that they leech, say, when it rains? But in that case, wouldn't roof mounted solar panels be equally bad as in leech heavy metals into home soil and I had not heard that to be an issue.

The only way to win at the casino is with a player's card. If you play perfect strategy and have them track all your play, they comps they give you should be close to what you lose. But you have to play for a long time to get the comps and have the odds work out, and most people don't.

In other words you have to be pretty rich already and have a deep bankroll to get the breakeven comps.

Otherwise, consider your losses the fee for the entertainment. :)
> After 9/11, the Bush administration national security team actively debated an invasion of Iraq. On the day of the attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld asked his aides for: "best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit Saddam Hussein at the same time. Not only Osama bin Laden."[90] President Bush spoke with Rumsfeld on 21 November and instructed him to conduct a confidential review of OPLAN 1003, the war plan for invading Iraq.[91] Rumsfeld met with General Tommy Franks, the commander of US Central Command, on 27 November to go over the plans. A record of the meeting includes the question "How start?", listing multiple possible justifications for a US–Iraq War.[92][93] The rationale for invading Iraq as a response to 9/11 has been refuted, as there was no cooperation between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.[94]

Personally I think I prefer devices which offload the UI to a smartphone. I was thinking of something like this years ago where you could use something like Bluetooth to push a web UI so devices like thermostats would no longer need to have a shitty UI for things like programming schedules.

Unfortunately in this case the greed of the manufacturer hoping to monetize their UI has ruined an otherwise decent idea(although the device really should function on some basic level without a phone).
Well, sure, it's good for ships too. In general powering a large ship has a much more generous performance envelope. Thus, "bunker oil". Ammonia is better than bunker oil and it's also better than compressed elemental hydrogen, for powering any machine that moves.
One strength of Monte Carlo methods that's often overlooked is their robustness to changing specifications.

A coworker told our team about a puzzle relating to sizes of pizzas. Most people came up with clever solutions that all depended on things like uniform density, perfect circularity, etc. Probably good approximations to real world pizzas. But one of us suggested a Monte Carlo based method and the beautiful thing about it was that it would work even without all those assumptions. As long as the pizzas have an area when viewed from above, it works.

Depends on what the dollar cost of not burning fossil fuels turns out to be. I think being able to close the carbon loop is extremely important, there will inevitably be use cases where burning fossil fuels is the superior or only option. Rocket launches immediately jump to mind and are looking to be an area that will continue to experience explosive growth throughout the next century. We had better have a viable option for capturing those emissions along with the long tail of emissions generated during an orderly transition away from burning fossil fuels.
The best book if you have any programming background is 'Mathematical Modeling and Applied Calculus' by Joel Kilty and Alex M. McAllister reviewed here: https://www.maa.org/press/maa-reviews/mathematical-modeling-...

There's a small workshop for it here: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/calculus.html throwing in some youtube tutorials. The book presents everything as functions and their parameters, like linear functions, trig, sigmoidal, e and logarithms, you learn all the parameters to these functions and can type into desmos online graph to see what they're doing visually. You don't have to do the whole thing just use it for background material when an algorithm text uses calculus methods like L'Hopital's rule.

Poh-Shen Loh has a discrete math course open on his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/DailyChallengewithPoShenLoh/search... you can use the book he recommends to look up anything that is assumed knowledge in lectures. Discrete Mathematics, by L. Lovász, J. Pelikán, and K. Vesztergombi. A book called Asymptopia by Spencer is well done too, good chapters for learning everything you want about big-O/omega/theta some topics are advanced and some anyone can do.

The story is how

1) there are systems in place to stop this happening.

2) there are system in place to investigate if it happens.

3) the systems in 1) are circumvented

4) the systems in 2) are stymied

This means the systems have been corrupted. It means the US military can claim to care about those things but actually acts entirely contra to those stated principles. This is more cynical than not pretending to care.

Incredibly short sighted when they shipped so many laptops with 128GB drives even till quite recently where upgrading is almost impossible once you've been using the machine because even basic apps and a few files push you beyond the limit required to update.

Most of these laptops run at 2-4GB free space because MacOS already takes up a ton of space and throw on a few electron apps and its full.
Lol "5% pay cut". Classic ivory tower, wealthy first-world thinking. 4 trillion dollars is $500 per person on earth, which is more than the annual wages for a significant percentage. Energy cost increases put vastly more of the burden on low-income individuals due to the demand inelasticity of heat, fuel, light.

This link's reference for "solar panels leach [cadmium] into the soil and water as the panels age" is a paper that simulated *landfill conditions* on CdTe solar cells. In the study linked, the solar panels were ball-milled and then suspended in anaerobic sludge.

This is not comparable to suggesting solar panels will leach cadmium and lead into the soil underneath them during their normal operation.

This situation has interesting second-order effects as well. Most "custom harvesters" require farmers to schedule their combine/truck well ahead of time, giving them little leeway in which specific dates they can harvest their crop. So instead of for instance letting the corn dry out in the sun, they'll spray an assload of glyphosate on it to cause it to dessicate to ensure it'll be at the right moisture level right when their custom harvester shows up.

> You've failed to show a single example of a corporation deceiving you out of your money.

You just have a conveniently narrow definition of "deceive". Funeral homes use guilt to manipulate people into believing that they are somehow doing their loved ones a disservice by going with "inferior" (hint: they're not) third-party coffins and the like. Saying that isn't deception is a child's argument.

Yeah, in other words: "It's their fault for falling for it". Victim blaming is built in to our increasingly sociopathic culture.
It’s even worse than that; most rural areas don’t even have a 100gbps option, and what exists is more than $60/mo. My anecdotes put it at 5x the cost for 1/100 the speed. ($100 for a 10mbps option, and I know plenty of people with worse than that!)

In my view, it's bad because there's no end to the growth of a company's wealth, and thus power. Companies are treated as individuals when it's convenient for them, and not so when it's inconvenient. As companies gain more and more money, it becomes much easier to commit crimes and abuse their power to gain even more money and even more power, and yet, the likelihood of them being held accountable decreases. Comapnies can commit crimes that would land an individual in prison, and yet companies are usually at most fined in amounts much lower than the money they earned committing crimes. This creates serious problems in society, where companies are able and enabled to essentially act as sociopaths with limitless power.
The most fascinating non-CGI effect from Terminator 2 is a cut scene which can be seen in the director's cut, where they use Linda Hamilton twin sister in a surprising way: to fake a "mirror" scene where Sarah is operating on the Terminator's head.

They are in front of a mirror. They wanted to actually use Arnie in the reflection to show his face; they wanted a dummy for the head closest to the camera, to show the surgery inside the head. So they used a window in the wall instead of a mirror! Linda Hamilton and her twin sister are mimicking each other's movements to make it seem it's a mirror image.

(The other use of Linda's twin sister, the scene where the T-1000 fakes being Sarah, is better known)

yes, that's a concrete instance of why increasing concentration of power and wealth is bad for society as a whole. now consider that there are millions of these little mechanisms working against social cohesion and our current malaise really comes into focus.

as a result, i really think we should be tying fiscal, tax, and monetary policy to median income (and the like) rather than gdp (and the like). this would wholly combat the hollowing out of the middle class, rather than piecemeal policies that tend to be inadequate and circumvented.

The US had a little moment of time where it was the dominant power. It wasn't the dominant power in 1900 and it won't be in 2050. The idea that the decline is because of Google etc defies a much simpler explanation. As soon as China moved off of straight communism they were bound for dominance due to their population and general work ethic. There is no reason that over the long term China should have lower GDP per person than the US. Hence they'll have about 4x the total GDP and be able to spend 4x as much on military due to their 4x population size v US.

Exactly!

US have an excuse all the time, surprisingly, people who represent educated segment don't either want to look to other side, I remember Taliban tried to have a negotiation with US, they tried to get their voice heard in western media, but failed, because everyone was blind sided, no one wanted to hear them and US anyway launched attack, 20 years later, everything is even more fucked up over there.

Now we should be really worried if there are other extremist groups are training and planning another attack soon, this time everyone would know US don't have a justification and obviously will fail again.
