I think it's not a silly conversation at all. It hints to something that is so fundamental about existence.

You seem stuck in circular reasoning. The point is that when in an altered state, your conventional, "sober" model of reality breaks down and no longer applies. I think people "break through" when they realize their model of reality was constructed according to what they perceived through their available sense doors, but it's still just a construction, a model, a simulation, not reality itself. Even though it might be consistent when sober, it's self-referential consistency.
» Being cheaper means you can have more of them, which then could mean you don't even need to worry about the expensive stealth features. So what if the enemy detects one and shoots it down? The four other drones can carry on with the mission.

I have zero military experience but I have two thoughts:

1. Military leaders are resistant to change. From what I've read, the establishment of the US Air Force as its own branch was highly resisted by leadership.

2. I'm not sure if this covers all the bases. I'd imagine new technologies like drones would complement, not replace existing manual(?) fighter jets. What if they have larger payloads? We'd need time to make them smaller, no? Perhaps there is a limit to how small a "conventional" weapon can get and you can't just nuke everything and everyone and hope nobody fights back?

Just thinking out loud.

Even before the dot com bubble burst, we saw businesses with practical value producing applications of the Internet.

Today it’s over 10 years of crypto. I have only observed one application of crypto that touches the real economy - with a relatively obscure token.

Everything else, seems to be just be playing financial games inside of crypto, money laundering, side-stepping regulations, speculative meme assets and of course scams.

Can you point to an actual application of crypto that touches the real economy? I will be very interested!
Pretty much the same as my opinion on the topic. The nature of integrations is that you must expect anything. I worked with some of these flow engines and sooner or later you end up writing small integrations that are used by the integration tool. In many cases it would have been easier to just have everything in one integration code base. At least for debugging.
why? i'd say that if they're funded by taxpayers the most important thing is for taxpayers to reap their fare share of the profits. if those profits can be kept higher by keeping things secret it's a win for the taxpayer.

I'm not sure it would be in the taxpayers' interest to make it easier for private and/or foreign competition against their investment
fail2ban is unnecessary if a non-standard port is used. Even a sub-1024 SSH port gets extremely little traffic with spurious login attempts just once per day or every few days and most of these aren't going anywhere (admin:admin). Similarly I don't think for personal servers and the like there is much point in disabling root login, though I disable password auth in SSH as a general rule. A firewall on a server itself should not be necessary in most cases, because unneeded "listen everywhere for everything" services should not be running in the first place. If this is managed by multiple people, the firewall should be external to the server so that the same person who "just wants to run this service for a test real quick" can't "change firewall policy real quick".

Could not ever get the up-to-date TB16 to do power delivery correctly to anything (HP Zbook/various Asus/Lenovo Yoga 7) except a Dell laptop. The led on the USB-C connector stays off. The power - if delivered - stays very low and the laptop takes from its battery.
I see you're using the word "can" a lot to cover up the fact that it is not actually doing those things.

And less regulation means more crime - the only reason the ransomware epidemic exists is cryptocurrency. Remittance is also not actually cheaper with cryptocurrency if you actually count all the fees, but most likely more expensive than Western Union.

Cryptocurrency delivers none of what it promises. It only delivers crime and ecological destruction.
IMHO it is a very mixed bag, based on your goals.

If your goal is to broaden your knowledge, then no.

If your goal is to get a job where the person hiring you is not as qualified as you, then definitely. Most common in contract work. Certs, like a diploma, is a third party validating you know something.

Easy path, is do a job search with a particular certification. Then read the job description, and look at the companies and decide if that is something you want.

A certification can provide a key differentiator to others in interview, as well as salary negotiation. It also shows you are growing and not stale.

If you are staying at your current job, then I would explore the potential impact to your career at that company. I have seen a ton of resumes where someone obtained a masters degree or finished a tough cert, but their company did not value the paper, and thus they were job shopping. Myself included :-)

" the American dream where a hard worker in a well paying industry will, in fact, live far better than in any other country."

Why should a decent standard of living only apply to those working in a well paying industry? Shouldn't all industries be well paying, at least to the point of people being able to afford to live? Countries need a variety of industries, skills and jobs to function. If you work hard you should be able to live well, regardless of industry. But in many countries, including the US, working hard & long hours can still leave you on the breadline and choosing between heating your home or fueling your car. The US has huge income disparity and there is a total lack of respect for many employees. This is what people are getting sick of and realising there are other options.

There are multitudes of people living in other countries, doing the same jobs as millions of Americans, living much better than their US counterparts and many of those are immigrants. The US is not competitive for immigrants, it can't even provide all its citizens with the adequate jobs they want. Even removing small countries and the effects refugee crises, there are many countries with higher per capita immigration than the US.

I am in no ways opposed to migration, being a migrant & product of migrants myself, but what the US needs most is decent working conditions, rights & pay. Not only does this solve the employment problem, a higher quality of life leads to improvements in many areas across society, from increased education to lower crime and happier people.
"Therefore it would be necessary to carry on colonization against the will of the Palestinian Arabs,...Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population – an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy."

--Vladimir Jabotinsky, The Iron Wall, (We and the Arabs) (1923)
Okay but that doesn't change the fact that Trump tried with withdraw the troops from Syria and the Pentagon officials lied to his face and told him they took the troops out, and later bragged in public about misleading the duly elected President. That's a thing that happened, regardless of what reasons you think people elected Trump for, even though the economy, immigration, and anti-war sentiments were vigorously popular reasons among the base.

The point is that you are not allowed to vote against war anymore. It is demonstrably not possible to vote a different Commander-in-Chief in and end the war. Republicans tried that.

We are also not in Syria because of climate change. We are there because they are a geopolitical adversary of Israel.

>>Gaming rigs use upwards of a thousand watts, no practical value in gaming.

Humans have been playing games literally for thousands of years - there is a value in entertainment, especially with our busy lives of 21st century.

You can of course overdo it, turn it into an addiction and it can destroy your life - like many other things.

Crypto trading is as valuable as trading scraps of paper with a dollar sign scribbled on it - if it were done for fun or entertainment, then sure, whatever, but it's having major impact on our energy consumption and has to be curbed.

PS - also, a small side note - literally no gaming rig uses an "upwards of a thousands watts". Even fitted with the highest rated components currently available on the market(say a 12th gen i9 + RTX3090) you won't be using 1000W of power. Consoles use about 200-300W under full load, and that's a bigger gaming market than PC. And then the biggest gaming market is mobile - larger than PC and consoles combined, and the energy consumption there is tiny. So you're massively off base here.

>>Honestly I think providing an alternative financial system is more practical than most of the other energy intensive things we do these days.

And I honestly think that anyone who thinks crypto will become "an alternative financial system" and not just a pyramid scheme is lying to themselves.
Exactly. Since making money is the real point, someone bypassed all the bullshit about purpose and literally made a new form of money with properties different from any form of money before. You can like it or not, but it is not going to just stop existing.
I think that's well-understood and the existence of the F-35 evidences the perceived threat from nations with more advanced militaries.
Crypto is something you can "physically control" like gold (through being the only person who knows the key). Unlike gold it can't be physically stolen or confiscated. It can be easily authenticated (no counterfeiting). Unlike land or shares, or other paper assets it can't be transferred without the owner's consent. You can be 100% sure you actually do hold the asset.

In a stable, law-abiding society these advantages are a bit pointless, but enough people either see the future as unstable and lawless, or currently live in unstable and lawless places, that there is market demand for crypto as a store of value.

> well documented ways of using it properly that are tragically not the default

Docker is the stand out case from my point of view, and the ways it breaks networking seems to randomly change from version to version without warning nor consistency.

What are the well documented ways of using it properly, that avoid this weird behaviour from Docker?
I often wonder how much of that cost is the military’s social systems, which other countries expense outside of their military. Namely healthcare and retirement.
I recommend reading the article. It's the difference between an inappropriate heuristic, and an appropriate heuristic.
1. The air force is (one of the reasons) why the US has only been going to war with vastly inferior nations.

2. Go ask Ukraine about fighting rebels with AK-47s... who might occasionally get Buk missiles from a friendly slav on vacation.

That's not to say anything about F-35, or F-16; just about the reason why keeping the birds up to date makes sense.
Twitch is not for news! It serves only two purposes: entertainment and community.

Large streamers have humor, but chat is completely meaningless with them.

Small streamers (mostly gamedev) are the community that is meaningful.

It's surpisingly small still, only a few thousand viewers that all watch many of the same devs.

Game development is really the only meaningful thing you can do today that does not involve energy (food, heat and water = electricity).

It's mostly a fail because it does too much and the part people need it (rapid and sturdy docking/coupling) is absent.

Alas
I have to admit, looking in at the situation in the USA from my own deeply, historically complicated position in Australia… it seems like “freedom of speech” the concept and “freedom of speech” the legal doctrine are frequently confused, however in this case Yale definitely seems to be failing to uphold its promise of “freedom of speech” the concept. Not necessarily in its actions, but in its failure to educate students enough they can look beyond their own filter bubble, think critically about if they have actually been oppressed in some way, and react with proportionate response to the events they have been aggrieved by. The students involved in that Ohio thing seem detached from reality.

Also… I feel sorry for the quoted Asian student who was afraid to ask their questions. When members of minorities are afraid to ask about the wider experience of their own community, you’re out of bounds.
I want to see deepmind make a bot to play team based first person shooters like csgo and rainbow6 siege, to stack up five of them against a team of professional players.
to be fair this was not the fault of the F-35 but rather most likely due to a rain cover that was supposed to be removed before flight. So human error rather than mechanical.
Reminds me of that early Facebook game where you could "buy" your friends, and every time someone buys them, they become more expensive.

I think in my country it was also driven by blind trust that whatever the US built was undoubtedly the best in the world.
Any country still investing in airplanes that hold pilots are wasting there money and should get their shit up to date. The days have been long gone that any pilot would be able to judge if their target is a yay or nay. The distances vastly overreach the capabilities of even the best person's eyes, and the added cost and complexity of putting a human in a jet are not worth it.

Western Europe has an ongoing security issues with Russia and China is pushing things in the Pacific. The best result is of course that there is no war, but there certainly are enough antagonists around. And then there are the sales to allies/third parties who have situations within their middle-power domain that need credible modern air support.

What an excellent and pithy description (assuming you meant this as a criticism.)
So this is an ad?
I can think of 2 reasons:

1) For posturing. One reason others might not want to fight the US is the presence of a large and very well equipped force that apparently trains for just such an eventuality.

2) The military-industrial complex is how the US economy stays ahead and yet pretends to be capitalist and free-market. If you pump domestic technology companies with trillions of dollars of tax money in the name of defence, they might just produce something valuable (say like the internet).

Parents can regulate the hours, but unless they regulate them down to zero, they cannot affect the adictiveness engineered into the product. Yes, the dose makes the poison, but I guarantee you Facebook has a team of psychologists making sure the dose needed to get kids hooked is as low as possible.
Some people recommend running a VPN server and then using SSH over VPN for "improved security", but pretty much every VPN apart from WireGuard has a pretty poor track record there.

Most countries have militaries not for the fight they want to fight, but to discourage all likely aggressors from attacking. The US is very unusual in how much active use they get out of their hardware. Still, if they only made hardware for the wars they want to fight that would leave them wide open for attacks from larger powers like China.
I don't think it's correct to call Amazon a "medium company" and last time I checked they make more than 50mil
Was the root cause of that incident not that the ground crew and the pilot all missed a “remove before flight” cover in their pre-flight routines?

I.e. it was multiple humans making an error in their trained & checklisted pre-flight duty, rather than a failure of the aircraft.
Was curious the F35 design is like the PakFa where it's stealth from the front but the exhaust is not like an F22. I don't know offhand if the F22 design is for thermal reasons more than thrust vectoring.

B2 I think is definitely thermal since it's inside/above the wing.
In case of a shooting war all those F-35 would get destroyed by cruise missiles before they could take off. The only reason for Poland getting F-35 is trying to please the US and to participate in NATO missions.
FAANG are pretty explicit about hating AGPL and SSPL coz they kind of target them. That leads to a lot of second order animosity.
Curious what you think of the flu. There isn't a flu shot mandate, but presumably you'd be pro-mandate for the flu vaccine. Are deaths caused by the flu similarly gross negligence?
