I mean. Drop the bomb and just don’t let it go off until the plane is far enough away. You’d miss out on the airburst, but it’s big enough that probably wouldn’t matter.

Or throw it out and give it some sort of self propulsion that keeps it at the airburst height until the plane is far enough away.

Yeah, Reagan drastically simplified the tax code in 1986 by eliminating a ton of deductions and expanding the standard deduction. [1]

(It also lowered the top tax rate from 50% to 28%, and raised the bottom tax rate from 11% to 15%, so it wasn't a complete win).

For all its faults, the Trump admin also nearly doubled [2] the standard deduction in 2017, which hugely simplifies taxes for the people who choose to use it.

From Wikipedia:

> The standard deduction nearly doubles, from $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples. For single filers, the standard deduction will increase from $6,350 to $12,000. About 70% of families choose the standard deduction rather than itemized deductions; this could rise to over 84% if doubled.

Much of the information that TurboTax asks for is just help you figure out whether or not to choose the standard deduction. (At least that's what Intuit claims, but if you don't opt-out of the data sharing agreement, they get to have an absolute field day with all the financial data you've given them).

But if you choose the standard deduction, the logic is usually quite simple, and you don't need massively complex software to help you.

This has come up here a bunch of times (we do a lot of work in Rust). I've been a little skeptical that Rust is a win here, for basically the reason I gave upthread: you can't really do much with Rust in eBPF, because the verifier won't let you; it seems to me like you'd be writing a dialect of Rust-shaped C. But we did a recent work sample challenge for Rust candidates that included an eBPF component, and a couple good submissions used Rust eBPF, so maybe I'm wrong about that.

I'm also biased because I love writing C code (I know, both viscerally and intellectually, that I should virtually never do so; eBPF is the one sane exception!)

I firmly believe Thinkpads are the best mainstream Linux laptops you can buy.

I have a 2nd gen P1 with a 4k OLED screen, 9400H, dual nvme SSDs and 64gb of decent RAM. It is the best laptop I've ever owned.

Dual booting Fedora ever since I've owned it, with 95% Fedora / 5% Windows split. Never a hiccup, perfect thermals, extremely servicable, tough as hell, best keyboard ever.
I miss the early days of Firefox extensions (circa 2004) where an extension could in very powerful ways completely change the layout/functionality of your browser; when they had near unlimited access to the XUL and could change anything and everything.

I used a ton of very useful extensions then. Nested tabs were one of my favorites. These days I've got a password manager, a bookmark checker, and a tab manager I wrote myself.

They're just not allowed to do anything too useful these days - I know what they have access to, I write Chrome extensions. A lot of them should just be standalone desktop apps.

Like most things, normies came in, shot themselves in the foot, made a fuss, and now we can't have nice things.

The article does not mention changes over the last two years because there haven't been any to mention. The new WebRequest API still does not support blocking requests (and still does support _recording_ requests), and the replacement for that functionality is still very limited.

If Google is not able to control ad-blocking because all the Chromium clones refuse to play ball, what do you think they will do? I have no idea.

> There was controversy over changes to the WebRequest API but that was two years ago and, I believe, changes have been made. Are there still changes that break functionality? What changes were made over the past two years? Have things gotten better or worse?

For customizing it, we copy the sass files and replace variables for colors and breakpoints. It's not what you usually do with a dependency, but Tachyons is feature complete and has very few (read: human patchable) updates. It's an easy way to have a custom style-guide in sass within a few tweaks.

It's a pretty small and readable codebase, so while there's a downside that you can't upgrade it by incrementing a version, the upside is that you don't have an opaque upstream dependency and you can cut any fluff you don't need (though there isn't much).

A nuclear land mine was deployed by the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_Atomic_Demolition_Munit... . Not actually high yield, apparently only up to 15 kilotons. I could see it being useful to blunt an attack, and small enough that you could easily deploy them during a conflict and not have to deal with the political considerations of pre-positioning them. And unlike other tactical nuclear weapons it isn't really possible to intercept them. I could definitely see the DPRK deploying something like this to delay an invasion.

They are not. Court of appeals decisions (a decision that's of precedential value) and any district court decision of importance are public already.

This makes public district court opinions nobody cares about (ok I suppose), as well as the pleadings and motions filed by the parties in the case. Those documents contain a treasure trove of private information that wasn't disclosed with the expectation of broad public dissemination.

I have a X1 Carbon 5th gen and it's awesome. No issues at all running Fedora and Windows. I'll likely buy the newest version next year to replace it.
I've had a Lenovo x1 carbon (latest gen) earlier this year for work - hardware compatibility for linux is good, didn't really like the typing experience and the touchpad is imo awful.

For my personal laptop, I have Arch (Manjaro) on a 13" xps 9130, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Screen is beautiful, keyboard is the best I've ever used (including new m1 macbooks), touchpad is fantastic - It's the perfect little laptop, imo.
> My own theory is that the root cause is decades of wide-spread awareness of global warming. Either you understand the science and implications, or you think it’s a global hoax being perpetrated to excuse oppression.

Nope, there's more nuance to it than that. I see it as humanity has painted itself into a corner. We're running out of cheap oil, fracking didn't turn out too well and that combined with climate change has put us in a giant pickle. The low EROEI of renewables make the transition (decoupling from fossil fuels) borderline impossible without some serious ramifications. I think humanity is in for a shock. If you go by real inflation (not the government made-up numbers) the world economy has pretty much stalled already for the past decade or so, and the energy transition is going to cause it to collapse in a way where there's no return. Either the human population is drastically reduced (in one way or another), or a drastic change in lifestyle will be required.

Global warming is just a slight inconvenience in comparison to that. I suppose a number of "climate change deniers" are aware of this and would like to keep the world going as it is for just a little while longer. Others are aware of the cost of the transition and think it's cheaper to just keep going and deal with it as it comes - sea levels won't rise that fast, there's ample time to migrate out of the way, even if some cities will be lost. They however don't take into account that oil depletion is inevitable sooner or later, and when that time comes they won't have the resources to achieve a transition to renewables anymore (which is doubtful to work out even now).

How about that for some doom?
(I do some research in this space)

There are lots of cheap ways of storing heat... The capacity cost of thermal storage has not been the bottleneck for commercialization, but rather the round trip efficiency. This seems academically interesting, but I doubt it will be much more than that.

To a first order approximation, the cost of power from a storage system is going to be $/kWh_source_power/efficiency+ammortized cost of capital. No matter how cheap the second term is (and it can't be that cheap unless someone invents a 10x cheaper turbine), the first term tends to make storage uneconomical unless your RTE is above ~80%. This will get ~60% at best.

(of course, I could always be wrong)

I have a new t14 at work. I use a Dell xps 15 at home. Would always go for the Dell. The t14 is incredible ugly (guess all thinkpads are), wastes a lot of space with those mouse clickers, is bulky and also heavy compared to the Dell. Sound / Display aren't even comparable. Build quality is close but that's it.

Both run arch like a champ.
A friend was looking and in the end decided not to buy a Thinkpad as both his current Thinkpads mis-order keys when typed quickly and it seems unlikely that it's fixed. (And to be honest, they don't deserve the money with such a bad bug).

All in this topic had a political purpose since the start. Is pretty obvious.

We had heard this shit for years and is always the same thing. They even called us the "PIGS" not so long ago... The science and education and creation are quickly dismissed, appropriated by third parts or hidden and 'rediscovered' later. The bad parts are always stressed, appealing to emotion and throwing the logic by the window. Adult people that should use their brains, really seem to believe that each one in a bunch of Spaniards killed like 30 natives by minute for ten years, without stopping to sleep or dinner, 24 hours a day... and when are told a much more simple and logical explanation, they just dismiss it as false without thinking for a second.

My bet is that nothing in this book will radically change the history, and that the author of the review could expand their mind and benefit to a quick visit to one of the Spanish or American libraries that keep thousands of American manuscripts freely available to researchers about that age.

I'm aware also that suggesting some people to go to a library and open a real history book written by a real hispanist to verify the facts by themselves is losing my time.

I use a X1 Carbon Gen 9 for my daily driver after switching from Gen 6. I still love both. I have been using Arch primarily which has a great wiki for installing in case you were leaning that way. Ubuntu is also spot on for all drivers.

I only had an issue with the battery in the Gen 6 early on, which was fixed within two days by replacing it (under warranty). I have not had any issues with my Gen 9 (though it is only 5 months old).

Firmware is incredibly easy to update on it under linux.

I also from time to time swap out the M.2 SSD with windows when I need it. The screws are super simple and you won't lose them.

I have used a XPS 13 in the past, though it is an okay alternative, I will say, the keyboard is super compact and inconvenient. The battery is iffy (one friend's exploded on him), mine just did not last long. The form factor was nice, but it did not feel nearly as nice as the X1 Carbon.
I've been downvoted in the past for pointing out what everyone says works in theory vs what actually happens in the real world.

Battery life is very good and you have great linux support (including battery charge customization and other options with TLP)
It's light, you have a good choice of ports (USB A, VGA, USB C)
I think it's still a safe choice especially in the AMD variant wrt the other linux laptops.

Well, even when ISPs are dilligent in deploying IPv6, they still have to deal with troublesome end-user hardware that can't just be replaced overnight.

For example, here in Portugal the largest ISP (MEO) has had a wide deployment of IPv6 for many years. However, it's (up to very recently) main end-user router supplier (Thomson/Technicolor) has also had chronic IPv6 bugs in its firmware(1). MEO enables IPv6 by default nevertheless, but if you're an advanced user you'll have a hard time overlooking the random connection failures to IPv6 destinations.

(1) Specifically, it resets the flow label field randomly when it is non-zero (the case with most recent versions of Linux, macOS and, I guess, Windows). Turns out the flow label is taken into consideration by many load balancers so, if it changes mid-connection, your packets may end up in a server that has no knowledge of you and you get a connection reset.
The cooling on the P51 is what sold it to me. I have a maxed out one with the quadro and everything, it's my photo editing and now DAW laptop. It's really nice to be able to work on it for an hour or more and know that I'm not going to loose 50% or my computing power while working on Ableton and have to stop until it cools down because I have too many plugins running.

Got it a year ago for 2500 and I'm a bit on the fence about having gotten it, it's a great computer but the new M1 Mac would smoke it and I prefer MacOS to Windows.

It wouldn't be overnight, but Apple's business would no longer be sustainable. Samsung and a dozen Chinese companies would instantly start shipping iOS devices. Sure, the hardware wouldn't be quite as good as Apple's, but they'd still steal a big chunk of Apple's market share. Then it'd be a few years of slow bleeding where they subsidize their competitors, unable to compete on price and eventually die.

This same dynamic would apply to Macs as well, of course. In fact, this very thing came this close to killing Apple in the 90s. They licensed MacOS to clone makers, who immediately took the high-end high-margin market, and left Apple to develop MacOS and sell low-margin, entry-level machines. It took the return of Steve Jobs to turn the company around. They were weeks away from bankrupcy. He immediately killed the clone makers, begged/threatened Microsoft into giving them bridge funding, and started work on the candy-colored iMac.

As for Android, well, it's nominally open source, but an awful lot of the stuff you need to ship a competitive OS is actually closed and closely guarded by Google. It's a bit more open than Darwin, but not much. If you stick to ASOP, you've basically got Froyo.

So, yeah, Chromium and is for real, and again it's a bit more open than WebKit in that it also includes the app chrome, and not just the web engine. But coincidentally, Google benefits from an open, standards-based web; it doesn't threaten their revenue at all. Go figure.
