I'm just saying if the alternative is between something like the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood type movements - to something like the military regime Egypt has now or whatever the Saudis came up with, I take the latter. What you said about resistance being impossible - it won't get any better under a radical Islamic rule as we are seeing in Iran.
All I am saying it can get way worse. it CAN become North Korea. What we have now in several areas there may be the best we can get for now.
And a big part of how I feel about this is about self survival - the Iranian regime hates the West (and especially the U.S but not only) in very deep ways that Saudi Arabia/UAE/Egypt/etc do not. That's how it is. As long as it is what it is selling stuff to Saudi Arabia doesn't sound super terrible.
Tree cover also decreases albedo, which increases the total solar energy absorbed. [0]

I wonder if tree cover decreases local surface temperature (as described in this article) while actually increasing global warming because less light is reflected back to space.

Even if it was true that software engineers that don't work for FAANGs can't develop something complex (I doubt that's true, I'm sure there's plenty of skilled software engineers working at Lockheed Martin), FAANGs don't employ a lot of aerodynamicists, flight dynamicists, weapons engineers, material scientists, experts in radar technology etc. though, which is just a selection of the kind of specialists you need to develop a fighter jet.

>which is why the LIR's exist.

>you can get provider independant IP space from a LIR.

My understanding was that it was primarily ISPs that filled the role of LIRs. Is that incorrect?

If so, how can I find an LIR in my area?

Edit: I should have added that I've looked around, but AFAICT, the only "provider independent" group handing out IP addresses in my area is ARIN. I may be missing something obvious, but I don't think my google-fu is so bad that I can't find it, if it does indeed exist.
Of course. But the point is that 5k is FAR too low. The difference between stealing 5k and 50m is far greater than the difference between stealing $200 and $5001. Now read all my comments with this in mind and maybe you'll get what we've been saying.

At least in Spain, when fathers were given the same leave as mothers, they opted to have fewer children. It makes sense of course; you want less of something when you’re fully exposed to the costs (in this case, the child care work requires while on leave) of that thing.

We all need a place to live but we all didn't take a risk in taking out a mortgage like Bob did.

Bob's risks shouldn't negatively influence people who have more risk aversion to the point where it's less risky to take risks like Bob because then we'll all take risks like Bob and then end up in the situation where we are now.
> soldering iron

I worked my way through college with a soldering iron. The wire to my headphones broke, and I thought "I'll just strip the wires and solder them back together!"

The problem was, the wires were about as thick as a hair. My fat fingers just couldn't solder them. I could hardly see them.

The headphones went into the garbage.

Gruber’s interpretation of what Sweeney said is ridiculous.

Sweeney said there should exist a single store that works across both platforms. As in one store caters both platforms.

He did not say that there should be ONLY one store that serves both platforms.

I personally think that the existence of a store that can serve both platforms is irrelevant as long as both platforms allow 3rd party stores, and so I don’t agree with Sweeney, but Gruber is completely misinterpreting what he is saying.
Well let’s say I do concede the point; it’s a good thing they are a neutral and armed nation with their own Diplomacy Corp and Intelligence surrounded by friendly nations.
Well, the greater point is that you can target taxes.
If you cause Bob's house to go back to being $200k then it only screws the Bobs. It doesn't screw the Mary's who bought at or below $200k. Your logic is what gets us into these messes, because it removes moral hazard by telling speculators that housing is special and therefore immune to risk.

Of course it's not a free market. Has America ever had a free market? When is the last time that the real estate market hasn't been manipulated in some way?
In the current model every plugin you'd have in your repo would have to be aware of your plugin manager, right?

I suspect you'd need adoption before authors would want to maintain a Pluginfile.json, and before there's a decent selection in your repo there's not a selling point to gain adoption.

A tool that can help me find things like git-series[0] would be cool, but I think you'd need to work downstream rather than having every git plugin know about your package manager. If you're gonna make repos to wrap upstream projects into your package format (which is what Linux distros do), then that could work.

Unless you mess up really badly, such a situation really doesn’t exist. If you had 100k, you’d presumably spend a few of them to get an investor visa. That would give you a plenty of time to find a foreign bank to accept your money.

When all the records are digital, centralized, and used for access to daily life, it becomes a dictators wet dream. Alter a line of code, destroy a life. Turnkey is the more important word than totalitarianism. Why put such power and control all in one place?

Our Christian culture has a parable for this situation. In revelations, it talks about the mark of the beast. Obviously that isn't true. But the moral of the story is true. Humans shouldn't be branded. Digital or now.

A single game store that works on all platforms? Interesting.

We already have something close to that, and it's called Xbox Game Pass. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, and Xbox (though not on PlayStation and Switch currently at least.)

It's also coming to smart TVs if it hasn't already.

(And can already sideload it onto a Chromecast.)
I asked 3 questions and this did not answer any of them. I assume your second answer actually relates to my third question, but really if you don't know the answer then speculating about it is not answering it. My first and second questions were also pretty specific, I appreciate there is anger about climate change issues but that is not what I was specifically asking about either.

Let's wait for OP to clarify what they meant.
Nice! The twist at the end was a bit obvious, but I was expecting it to be a soda.

True, but the separation between grand theft and petty theft exists in pretty much every common-law country, and has for centuries - it's not a peculiarity of Canadian law.
As someone who doesn't own a home yet because of insane competition, if I were to buy a home tomorrow and afford the mortgage, and suddenly the value dropped by $300k, I wouldn't care. I'm not looking for a home as an investment, which is the problem. I would still have that same home to live in and raise my family in. If anything, I might be able to reduce that fictional mortgage.

I'm not in favor of homes dropping in value either, but if the argument is it's going to hurt investors, then let's do it.
Yeah but they also probably desperately need customers. I can imagine that they have lost a lot too AWS Azure and Google.

Depends. If backend = writing controllers, some basic db interactions (querying, storing), and more or less writing modular code then I would say it's just like frontend. On the other side if backend also includes: handling more complex db interactions (your simple query does not work performant enough anymore when your table has more than N rows), sync/async communication between multiple services, splitting monolithic applications into decoupled services, going beyond the basic of SOLID, handle critical backend stuff like payments, checkouts... then I think backend is more difficult than frontend.
No they couldn't build new Harriers. The production line was shut down years ago. The supply chain for many critical components no longer even exists. The production workers with essential knowledge have mostly retired. It would take many years to try to recreate, and at this point it would actually be more expensive than just buying more F-35B's.
I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about that though I would like to figure out where that fits.

Our current housing crisis is rooted in building housing designed for our standard nuclear family with a breadwinner father, homemaker mother and 2.5 minor kids. This became our standard post-WW2 with the birth of the suburbs and was avidly embraced because it worked to solve our housing crisis at that time.

That was never the majority of the US population but it was a larger percentage of the population than it is currently and there were other housing options available if you were single. We have torn down a million SROs and largely eliminated the practice of boarding houses. Now we see such things as aimed at homeless people who can't make their lives work. At one time, that was normal housing for normal people.

We have a higher percentage of households with one to three people and we mostly don't build housing for such households. This has driven an interest in alternatives like Tiny Homes, RV living and trailer courts.

We really need to focus on building Missing Middle Housing and SROs. That would include duplexes which are a potential sensible option for living with extended family in some cases.

Living without a car is a privilege of those who live in cities or some suburbs. I've never actually seen real plans or ideas to extend this stuff to the country side. Mostly just folks shrugging their shoulders and hoping that end of the problem will go away.

> Before stealth small nimble aircraft avoided anti-aircraft fire by flying low where the horizon and or terrain would keep them shielded or provide physical barriers against missile intercept.

Yeah, and then they started to be shot down and had to be ordered to stop flying low while the stealth aircraft kept flying right over the capital, like in the case of the A-10 and F-117 over Iraq in 91.
> Then there is the "banking privacy" nonsense, which is just because they want to avoid disclosing the tax evasion and money laundering.

Way to normalize mass surveillance.
I think the angle that's not fully communicated here is that the default expectation is 40 hours of work a week at 8 hours per day. At a company that expects you to be in the office for those 8 hours, many people actually spend more than 8 hours in service of the need to be in the office for 8 hours. That is, if it takes you 30 minutes of travel each way to satisfy a mandate to be in an office for 8 hours, you're really spending 9 hours "on company time", but you're only being compensated for 8. People who don't have, because of whatever reason, travel time can roll out of bed and immediately be ready to work (I have the past 18 months). Why should the employee take a hit out of their non-work time to do travel that the company insists on? If you want me to travel, pay me for it and recognize that you're paying for my time to not be productive because its being eaten up with travel (or recognize that some of the 8 hours of company-time is going to be eaten up with travel so you're only getting 7 hours of work time out of it). Someone could choose to move closer to the office, there by reducing the amount of time used for travel, and the unproductive-travel-time compensation should be reduced.

Historically, both employers and employees have incongruent and hazy understanding and a polite agreement as to how this kind of time gets accounted for (how much it is and who is accountable/responsible for it), especially in salaried positions/knowledge workers. That's probably going to change. If anything, the work-from-wherever trend will help people get a better understanding of and draw the line between work-time and personal-time, productive time and non-productive time, total compensation, and what, exactly, they are being compensated for, and how this time is grokked and tracked.
Appears this is paid for by the government, not Uber; yet the article does not say what the negotiated split is.

Very cool idea. If results are what you want, this is a pretty cheap and reasonable way to do it.

It can't be fixed industry wide. I guess it could be partially fixed at individual companies. But those are just band aids. It's just how it is. If you're not face to face, the relationships will be at arms length.

In addition to the mentorship issue, think about promotions. Especially to more senior levels. The people in the office or with pre-existing relationships will be the ones getting promoted and will be the power brokers. If you are someone who doesn't think that will be true, then (IMO) you are confusing how you wish the world to be for how the world is.

I understand that people may have particularly strong reasons no not wanting to be photographed in public, but the strength of their conviction is not in itself necessarily a reason to respect those reasons. For example, lots of people strongly think that Bill Gates is using vaccines to insert microchips for surveillance purposes. Should we respect those ideas?

And yes, the surveillance state is a real thing, so I wouldn't go so far as to say that everyone's concerns are completely unfounded, but at least some of the time, the overall logic and philosophical underpinnings of their reasoning are not well considered. Do they really want to restrict the rights of others in a way that may end up harming them? Wouldn't they in fact be grateful if (without consent) a villain was caught on video attacking them, or if a kidnapper (without signing a release) was caught on video putting a child in a van? Some might conclude that only well-behaved people have a right to public privacy, and think no further about the full implications of that.

But, technology has created this problem, and may very well soon solve it. First, the increasing spread of deepfakes enables people to at least facially deny that the image in a photo is theirs. Second, the rise of deep learning means that it's becoming increasingly possible for photographers to alter photos of real people so that the faces in street photos are replaced with realistic GAN-generated faces that are distinct from the original face, but the expressions and everything else stay the same. It's not hard to imagine that that may become standard etiquette, another decade or two down the line. What a time to be alive.
I know what you mean by this but when I hear it leads me to be believe that written language is inefficient since a large number of people find reading, even subjects they’re somewhat interested in, boring.
I followed this scandal for a while and it was very interesting who was involved in it and what they said. Everyone tweeted how they were upset but no one put any real pressure on anyone to do anything about her disappearance other than WTA. People used her disappearance as an excuse to increase their own clout on social media but none were actually willing to do anything beyond that. A few people tweeted something how this was a grave injustice and then immediately moved on to tweeting about what they had for lunch without realizing how callous their behavior looked to outsiders.

The analysis is wrong. Gruber wrongly interprets the word “single” as meaning that there should only be one store and that store should work across all platforms.

Whereas what Sweeney is clearly saying is that there should exist at least one store where a consumer can buy a game but play it on any platform.

Basically Steam, but across not just PCs and Macs and Linux devices but also the locked down general purpose computers like iOS and Android and even XBox, PS and Nintendo.

He does not think that there should only be one such store, and says nothing to suggest that other non Epic owned such stores cannot exist.

But Gruber tries to imply that Sweeney is trying to make sure that the Epic store is the only one that can exist. Because without this implication I cannot think of any consumer/free market minded person who would disagree with the idea that if I buy a game, I should be able to play it wherever it can be played, and that I shouldn’t have to repurchase my entire game library because I got a PS instead of an XBox.
This is great, I've been building questionable quality software for more than a decade, and run a team (10-20 people depending on year) for some churches on and off for about the same amount of time - the technical side of reverb & associated FX has always intrigued me.

I'm never going to escape the algorithmic recommendations for this one, am I?
I would add -50 for not having a one liner that describes what the project is trying to accomplish...

It's one thing that if the product name is descriptive enough, but for anything arbitrary, a simple tagline for the project really helps.
That’s essentially what Sweeney is asking for, but broader than the XBox Game pass.

The difference is that currently if a certain game exists on iOS, and I have got that through the XBox game pass, I have to buy that game again on iOS to play it offline and without connecting it to the cloud and playing off MS’s servers, even if the game developer would be happy to let you play the proper app version of the game on iOS even if you bought it on XBox.

That’s because Apple strictly controls what can and cannot be done on iOS which is the fundamental problem here.
Didn't follow the checklist. Sigh.
Taxes fall in brackets. For example, income: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/federal-income-tax-...

* $0 to $9,950 - 10% of taxable income

* $9,951 to $40,525 - $995 plus 12% of the amount over $9,950

* ...

* $523,601 or more - $157,804.25 plus 37% of the amount over $523,600

Problem? There is effectively no taxes on wealth, only income/capital gains.

This system really screws over the middle class and immigrant families because we generally accumulate wealth through income... meanwhile Bezos can passively "earn" billions per year through his prior ownership of Amazon shares, with an effective tax rate of 0%.

The low interest rates further benefit the rich because they can take out low-interest loans collateralized by assets (that is, Jeff can take out a $100M loan to get liquidity, without liquidating $100M in shares - he only needs to sell enough to pay off interest [the portion sold is taxed as income]).
