Taking 10 or 15 percent of a number even if you get it wrong is not difficult and does not take any appreciable time. If you assign that 1 dollar to every instant of every day you will not find a real daily value for your time. The idea of $1. Ring appropriate is crazy.

Let's say you took 10 seconds to calculate it which is generous and also time to lunch it into a phone. There would be more than 36 thousand of such time/labour units in a given twenty four hour period. Unless you hang around with CEO's you aren't making 36 thousand a day to hand it out so easily.

$1 for nothing or value is a lot ofoney.
> Personally I'd think 15 minutes of inconvenience would be pretty petty of me to prioritize over protection from a potential national security threat

Presumably even that would work out okay as long as we haven't simultaneously sent hundreds of fighter jets on a training mission in Alaska with only 14 remaining to defend CONUS http://web.archive.org/web/20020917072642/http://www.aviatio...
> NORAD probably wanted to clear some airspace to better track the missile

I can't see any way planes in Western US airspace could possibly interfere with tracking an NK launched ICBM, even by clutter, except maybe in the last minutes of the terminal phase of warhead descent at which point any defense (active or civil or both) would already have to have been committed to do any good.

Grounding planes is to mitigate risk to the people on the planes, and maybe to clear lines of fire for anti-missile systems (which is mostly about protecting people who aren't on the planes, but incidentally also protects those on the planes, too.)
The difficulty is that it is really hard to claim something as obvious/non-obvious once you know about it. Basically can't determine if it is something that was incremental based on progress -or- if it just seems like that now that you know about it in hindsight.

Agree with your point though, and it may just be one of those impossible questions which is why the patent office struggles with how to make these decisions.

Great article, this bit jumped out at me:

"the anti-truck-bomb obstacles (on the entrance only -- no self-respecting truck bomber would ever think of driving in through the exit, would they?)"

This is the sort of thing that never stops to amaze me, usually when visiting some installation or other there is a detail like this that jumps out. The best example that I have of this was a perfectly sealed isolation ward in a hospital that merged both intake and exhaust of the isolation ward with the general wards because they ran out of budget for another air system so they plumbed it into what was already there. It totally floored me that this was done consciously as a cost saving measure, I'll leave the failure modes as a homework exercise ;)
Very true. Public shareholding is like a parallel democracy, where almost none of the voters are paticipating or voting.

I strongly believe we need more voter participation here.

They're polar opposites. If one is true the other is false.

Keep in mind that credits usually only list people that worked directly on the noticeable parts of a movie (actors, producers, graphics, audio, editing, cameras, marketing, hair/makeup, etc) but not those who work in the background to allow those people to do their work (IT, food services, electricians, janitors, truck drivers, crane operators, finance, hr, lawyers, etc).

The "secrets" are how good our radar systems are at tracking a Mach 20 object in space. That sort of stuff is classified and no one seems to be speaking about that.

Yes, we know what path it probably will take, but to actually _HIT_ such a target requires extremely precise tracking and positioning.

What we do know, is that they ground the entire West Coast's airplanes when an ICBM from North Korea is launched. My guess is that those radars probably work better when there's fewer airplanes in the sky. Hard to know for sure, the spooks don't seem to be talking about the details. But I'm working backwards here with Occam's razor.
Eh, while one would assume that there are many defense systems which nobody knows about, in the event of an actual attack lots of things would be going into the air in a very short timeframe. Best to do everything to reduce complexity of the situation, you wouldn’t want to see a civilian aircraft get misidentified or an in air collision or some other mistake.

Software quality is suffering because we don't have software problems anymore. You can't make a new operating system, or make a new compiler, and make money. Those areas have been filled, and, software is evergreen so you can just port it to new hardware.

What we have are social problems, people problems, "disruption" to existing industries, etc. This is software "eating the world" (because it ran out of software problems to eat). This is why every startup pitch is "We're disrupting the commercial real estate loan industry" or "we're disrupting the mine subsidence claims industry". Just absolutely insane hail-mary startups trying desperately to find some niche that hasn't been invaded by software already.

What? How? We were talking about the exploitation of workers and how that is a core principle of capitalism (Fixed wage labor). How is that a non sequitur?

> that I do need to exploit workers

You don't need to, but in Capitalism it is the logical consequence of profit optimization.

If you - despite your ownership of tools - let the workers that build the furniture partake in the whole non-reinvested profit to fair shares, it isn't Capitalism anymore, it's rather a form of Market Socialism[0].

I'm not really worried about Kim wanting to launch a first strike when he has a solid grasp on his regime. I could see a scenario where he is petty and childish and where a coup is launched, he is about to lose control and makes a decision that amounts to "if I can't run this country, then noone can". He does seem to genuinely dislike the United States, so would be a two birds with one stone decision. I don't know how likely it is for that to happen or whether or not he cares about his countrymen. The purges that he ran to consolidate power early on make it seem like he is not averse to violence.

Positive tests for infectious disease have always essentially been made public, yes. This is not new, it's been the case for over a century in most countries.

Android Paved the Way for the Smartphone Revolution
I think it's a matter of expectations. We assume that software can grow with infinite vertical complexity given enough time and effort, but simultaneously we make enormous efforts to dumb-down our interfaces and make things more user-friendly. You're not wrong if you think that old Unix machines were more versatile than a brand-new laptop, if not only because the command line forced you to think like a programmer to get stuff done.

Nowadays, people don't care. The 90s ruined us with it's impulse economy, society as a whole felt as though we were entitled to just the good parts and nothing more. As a result, software got developed that way. Fine Corinthian leather, Gaussian-frosted glass and lickable scrollbars won out against dependable, powerful software interfaces. Society doesn't want good software, they just want to feel good. People can leverage that desire to make a lot of money by selling mostly-satisfying software. Stay hungry, stay foolish?
For me it started at the beginning of 2021. I still get the most obvious kind of spam. From Bitcoin to Paypal to USPS. About 100 messages a week. Before, I used to delete them, but they just kept coming, so I decided to let them sit there. At one point I had more than 1000, when before 2021 I had less than 10. Now I'm down to about 430. I think the system deletes spam after 30 days. So at least that thing works.
The lure if getting rich by creating your own money is irresistible and thus corrosive. Even the most principled person will have difficulty ferreting out all the wats it undermines that integrity.

The answer is a huge “it depends”.

I know a few people with published books who admit it basically doesn’t make them any more than some extra pocket change. The bigger value for them is showing it to future clients or employers as proof that they know what they’re talking about.

Several more people have published e-books along with heavy marketing campaigns (giving away chapters, social media pushes, etc) who make a little more, but they’re not raking in the cash. It’s more about funneling people to more profitable things (courses, workshops, etc)

The number of books that become high sellers and spread like wildfire are much smaller. You’ll need to focus heavily on marketing if you want to even get a chance at this.
It is worth reviewing the KAL007 incident to understand why you see this kind of reaction. The USSR was doing a missile test, the US was flying a surveillance plane just outside Soviet airspace, and just prior to that the US had been deliberating flying planes directly toward Soviet airspace only to turn them around at the last moment. Reagan had been talking tough and the USSR military leaders thought he might actually order a preemptive strike. Then KAL007 takes off from Alaska with its autopilot incorrectly configured, flies right into Soviet territory, and Soviet air defense had to decide if this unidentified plane was the US military finally being bold enough to fly right into their space. When KAL finally contacting Japanese ATC they were told to ascend, which to the Soviet fight pilot sent to intercept looked just like an evasive maneuver. The plane was shot down with no survivors, killing a member of Congress (just imagine how easily the situation could have escalated from there if Reagan really was as out of control as the Soviets thought).

So yeah, better safe than sorry when you have a tense moment in between two hostile, nuclear-armed nations. I would rather see a bunch of travelers deal with the inconvenience of cascading delays than see some US air defense system shoot a plane out of the sky.

If you try to conceive of The One Weird Trick that will solve urban mobility, it's an impossible problem.

The best general purpose plan I can conceive of is to build mixed housing and commercial in places where there is already decent transit. No parking minimums.

Build in earnest for a city where people can literally walk to any errand they may need. European planners actually do this -- they require neighborhood plans that offer a mix of residential, commercial (restaurants and nightlife), schools, other amenities. If the local grocery store is 2 blocks away, you don't need to get on a crowded train at all!

Not to mention operational losses of many nuclear plants already out there. Quite a few of them could not compete in the current market if not for massive subsidies.
If feels like you build the environment to match the problem, not figure out how to describe your problem on the terms of your language.

Yes. Correct. That was the intention of the language design. Here is described in detail by Dan Ingalls https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/smalltalk....
This is patently untrue. If you had followed some links there you would have seen that there are renewable plants today that are cheaper than fossil alternatives. The current gas crisis is, if anything, due to bad choices of electricity companies that tried to do financial games with gas prices. You can't win that game against a crooked political operator. Renewables can and do deliver winter heat too. Nuclear did and could have been something, but now it's not. We should build the best option for the future. And right now that's not nuclear for technological, political and technical reasons.

I generally agree with your assessment that there are other moving mechanical assemblies that are likely to fail at some point as well so the practicality of re-fueling may not be optimal.

But I also just wanted to point out as people discuss re-fueling that some of the concepts for this are not just open up the fuel tank and add more fuel but it might be operationally simpler to make a satellite that attaches like a jetpack [0]

Wall-E is by far my favorite Pixar movie, and IMO one of the best in any genre made in the last couple of decades. Really speaks to Pixar's creative genius that they can strike gold from even the most random premise. It is literally about a romantic trash compactor living in a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Fun fact - the film took so long to produce because Andrew Stanton knew Pixar couldn't realistically animate space when he conceived of the idea. Good thing they waited too, as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPW3mvAN0Rc was the final result.

I will say though that after decades of Pixar basically defining the standards of what computer generated animation should be, studios are starting to catch up to and even leapfrog their style. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Arcane are two notable examples of this.
That's an interesting point, I think it comes down to nobody knowing what contractors in their extended supply chain do.

This also moves Intel's problem to their first shareholder letter. Basically they should have never said it if it didn't apply to them. Then they chose to apologize to maintain standing in China for who knows what reason.

Whats clear to me is that they realize it is basically inconsequential in the US and their other markets, while it is consequential in the China market. It's easy calculus. Sure some people want it to be consequential but nothing is going to happen, a few patriotic fellows are going to put them on the same mental list they have Lebron James on and you'll just hear about it at a party or in a bar a few times. That's the definition of inconsequential to me.

I see a very large amount of launch infrastructure. You don't build that much without disregarding the needs of what lived there first.

Much of it was built before the EPA existed, so routine was routine. But, it is still being expanded, lately on behalf of SpaceX. Scheduling in lots of studies and meetings just amount to delaying, if they can't actually affect whether the paving happens. No amount of public hand-wringing gives a turtle back the nesting site its ancestors have returned to for a million years, or a hundred million.

I'm thinking possibly a live trend analysis / alert sort of thing might be useful if say we detect too much motion, too many people, or some other variable that we determine to be "out of wack".
