I agree that 3 children is way different than 2 depending on age. Just think child seats (i.e. trying to fit 3 in the back seat of a regular sedan will be a challenge, while it's completely possible for 2. Been there, lived that without any issues.

For luggage (even with 3 I would think) a hatch back does wonders. My larger limousine cannot fit the same amount of luggage or larger packaged purchases, simply because it doesn't fit through the trunk door at all, gets stuck because it's too long or too high and gets caught by stuff that sticks down into the trunk space (why they designed things that way, do not ask me). All of those things fit into the smaller hatchback we have without any trouble at all.

I can count the number of times I have had to put something in the rear seats for groceries on one hand and that was w/ the "large" car where I combined toilet paper, kitchen paper and a 'large' Costco run and the trunk space itself could've fit everything if it hadn't been for the above mentioned problems that would have been solved w/ the hatchback. 3 children on the backseat would've been no issue in the hatchback in that situation. Now going through a Costco on a busy Saturday morning w/ 3 small children would've been another story ;)
It looks nice. What are you planning as a platform for a desktop client? Electron?

Terminal guidance is already solved. It was pretty much solved by the Pershing 2 IRBMs in the 1980s. Once a missile is in terminal guidance, you're limited to killing it, decoying it, etc. IR sensors perform poorly in maritime environments, and though "un-jammable" in the strictest sense (since they're passive), you can confuse them.

I'm also skeptical of using ICBMs for global strike. The chance of them being confused by peer opponents for nuclear armed versions is very high. And, if I'm a peer opponent and you whack one of my carriers, it's probably time to pull out the nukes. That's kind of the unspoken US policy if a CVN is sunk.

And I don't think any of these weapon technologies will result in an end to military hegemony. There will always be the haves and have nots. And the US has only had unchallenged hegemony for a very short period after WW2.
This is just the system argument, which I accept works well for understanding, but I'm unconvinced it works for qualia. Here's another thought experiment: Replace the coloured filters with a system consisting of a camera connected to a computer which prints out the colour, which is then read by the achromatope. Here I assume you'd argue that the camera + computer doesn't experience colours, but the system (camera + computer + achromatope) does. Now, replace the camera + computer by a person who can actually see colours, who tells the achromatope which colours they see. In that case, the person who can see colours experiences the colours, and there's no need to invoke the system argument.
Well, now we know! Four-armed is forewarned.

Quick question. What sort of parallelism are they discussing, Mimd or Simd?

Notably, can what they're discussing run on a GPU?

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Outline (https://getoutline.org/) which provides full capability to setup a VPN easily on any major cloud providers with 1-click. It also provides mobile apps to use as well.

A great experience, and I'd say it just works.
Science isn’t ONLY about facts.

It’s a lot of suppositions and analysis wrapped around some self-evident truth.

Just like the speed of light still remains not a fact. (ICYMI, we STILL have no way to measure the speed of light in one direction)
Your point #3 just looks at two different things. They don't contradict each other at all.

Maybe had a job before age 18 implies later went to college for instance.
"and they could be having massive positive impact in the organization"

That's adorable.

Even more reason to not use it for anything.
There's something (multiple things, in fact) about Wordle that seems magical; so to your question, I think that small, free, respectful games that freshen and invigorate the mind and provide for entertaining social conversations will be huge.

In some ways they already are (outside the realm of technology) - but Silicon-valley-flavoured tech enterprise has tended to choose darker paths that eclipse those properties in favour of profitability and power.
It is a different type of learning. Eg overview and fun facts vs deep understanding.

Different strokes for different folks.
The degree obviously makes a difference but, regardless of the degree what’s more important is what you’re trying to do.

Many college grads complete degrees without a strong reason for it nor have they explored the potential opportunities.

Even an English degree is fine if you have an understanding of what you’re trying to do and set yourself up properly, e.g journalist, technical writing, marketing track vs the degree and no clue
My biggest regret about my 4 years at Virginia Tech is the opportunity cost. I could have been spending the years of my life where I could learn at a vastly accelerated rate compared to present learning useful things.

Instead, my double major in mechanical engineering/applied economics was heavily loaded with highly inefficient, archaic classes in subjects I cared about combined with a heavy dose of mandatory humanities type courses that were essentially ultra-leftwing indoctrination courses. For example, my Latin American history course was a non-stop "Latin America is a crappy place because it doesn't have enough Marxism" course.

I was assigned various books, and as long as I wrote about the books with identical conclusions to the professor, I got an A, no matter how horribly written. If I wrote eloquently about why I thought the book about Gaitan's socialist movement in Columbia wasn't as angelic as depicted in the book, I got a D. Another book that was assigned reading was "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" which is essentially a handbook telling you how to get otherwise happy people to realize they are oppressed and embrace Marxism.

This was the early 2000s, and the predictions about Columbia, for example, couldn't have been more wrong. It's a vastly improved place compared to then, despite the depiction in the class of a sinister, evil, predatory capitalist society. No matter what South American country you discussed, if it was communist/socialist, it was a paradise. If it wasn't, it was a dictatorship. The teacher wouldn't stop talking about how amazing Venezuela was, and how Hugo Chavez was "misunderstood."

Another class I took was called "Economics of Poverty". The professor is a person I can't forget, because long before I had ever heard of Elizabeth Warren, she was a fair skinned, blue-eyed white woman who claimed to be half Native American. I never believed that for a second, and it was obvious she made this claim to advance her career. My favorite moment with her was when she told the entire class that "most of you will graduate from this school and be unable to find meaningful employment. Our economic system doesn't value what you've learned, and you need to fix that." It was a soul-crushing, disempowering experience and I'm furious about how much I bought into her and her colleague's bullshit back then. Pessimistic losers who've never left their bubble ruining young minds as they themselves live off of the oppressive debt the students are taking on.

I don't have a problem with nutbag activists, but I deeply resent the Federal government subsidizing them and their foolish causes, on the backs of 17 year olds signing away their lives for debt.
Yeah I think the initial motivation behind setting it up this way was good - "let's try to get as many people into college as possible". I'm narrowly making an argument against loans that are not dischargeable by bankruptcy or death.

Changing that in isolation would almost definitely have an effect where low income families can't afford college. I see that as a gap the govt should be filling either through public colleges or directly funding people to go to school, probably both. The core issue I see here is we're letting private companies make bad investments without liability, into something that probably shouldn't be profit-driven to start with
"Fair" is the first part of "fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory", or "FRAND", a stock phrase lawyers reuse especially in policies about how companies contributing to standard setting will license any of their patents they manage to get into the standards. We have seen litigation about what FRAND means in context. You can read all about that on Wikipedia. But business has not stood still waiting on courts---or draftsmen---for perfect clarity. That's not how law works.

Big Time's definition of "fair commercial license" will matter most as read by two groups:

1. small companies using for free who wonder whether they'll get gouged by the developer when when they grow up

2. big companies who find the software and realize they have to do a deal

The definitions would start attracting strong legal attention if and only if the company reaches out to the developer, does hear back with a proposal, but can't negotiate from there to a deal.

Compared to what we usually see with FRAND, Big Time does a lot extra to add clarity. It's not just vague principles about bundling and pricing, which we sometimes see from court decisions about FRAND. Big Time specifically addresses perpetual versus time-limited, with or without updates. It also adds the price-paid shortcut, which can collapse "fair" down to "what other customers are paying"---rack rate---with a very objective standard of evidence.

> Personally, I only started feeling safe when my savings edged up towards 1M.. but I may also be more anxious than most.

I'm sure a lot of us feel this way because you need some psychological threshold where you realize that even in the worst case scenario, you can keep yourself fed and still keep a roof over your head.

Make sure you hold on to those gains, a divorce could cut your safety net in half super quick.
This is only true in an extremely technical sense. For practical purposes Ethereum is not running PoS. When you make an Ethereum transaction you are interacting with the PoW chain. Every single NFT transaction runs on the PoW chain.

Yes, there is also a PoS chain, confusingly also called "Ethereum", and yes it will soon become the primary chain, but that does not negate the fact that today nearly all activity happens on the PoW chain.

Funnily enough me and my peers usually end up watching Khan Academy videos anyway since they do a way better job of explaining topics than university content.
Green/red have the same semantics in Serbia as in Germany.

This green for positive test mean just that QR code and associated test are valid, not that it’s good or bad. Positive test is bad in the first 14 days but after that it’s good - it gives you same rights as if you were vaccinated. But it’s the same test in both cases and green just tells us it’s a valid document.

Digital certificate is different kind of document. That’s the one you need to enter restaurans, bars, etc. after 20h - it will be red if you don’t fulfill conditions, e.g. vaccination or positive test within last 6 months (but not within 14 days), etc.

In programer’s lingo, test result is const, while digital certificate is a function of multiple conditions in context of current date/time.
Mass defaults and bankruptcies and worse are still coming, I promise you. You can't funnel money upward this hard for decades and not pay a price.
A friend who is ED of Safe Shores (DC Children's Advocacy Center) says that Good Touch, Bad Touch has fallen out of favor. Safe Shores uses Stewards of Children, developed by Darkness to Light, and staff members are certified trainers.

Perhaps reach out to Darkness to Light or your local (regional) children's advocacy center. Many states have more than one. Not sure about the status internationally, but in the US, I know this is the case.

In my 20+ years doing public policy advocacy on a number of issues related to children, I came across too many organizations that had the potential to harm children and families, through using poor prevention models, infidelity to the model, not understanding issues, thinking that doing something was enough. While I'm generally a fan of doing something is better than doing nothing, that is absolutely not the case with this topic.

Good luck!
Indeed, the lawyer could, for instance, have a good idea of whether the defendant has a personality and presentation that is likely to be likable to a jury.
To be clear the flaw was not in Tesla’s software, it was some other third party tool. I don’t know which because a paywall got in the way :)
Agreed, there may be some applicability of this study on smokers (albeit at a reduced effect size). Worth betting on it being protective? Or just a rationalization?

Oh, I completely agree we should pay our taxes– but this swings the other way too, for stocks/equities, which themselves under long-term capital gains can be taxed at much less than income (which a certain segment of US population would consider a form of legal tax evasion) or at a certain point borrowed against ad-infinitum without paying taxes, and the fact that tradespeople will often pay much more in sales tax than office workers. What is legal and what is not in terms of paying taxes _is itself_ a high level policy decision meant to incentivize a certain way of work/living– just look at the tax policies around W4 employees versus 1099 contractors, or NSOs vs ISOs, filing jointly vs married, child and education tax credits, or really anything the IRS makes a decision on ever.

My point is it's just not at all a 1-1 comparison when determining "total compensation" across sectors like this, and that median income is a bad metric to use on its own to determine whether someone would be better off going to college or learning a trade.
> Are you familiar with what is being done on these systems? Uniswap alone did $1 billion in fees last year, a distributed, permissionless, unstoppable exchange. Ethereum did $10 billion in fees last year.

Consider whether bragging about the overhead fees for a system which statistically nobody uses is a great way to sell people on it.

> I know someone who bought their house with a loan from Dai, which is far less hand wavy magic than Wells Fargo. It took them 30 minutes and no permission for the powers that be was needed.

How often do you buy houses that giving up protections is an important selling point? Someone is going to be left holding the bag if they're not scrutinizing the borrower's ability to afford the property and its value.
Back when I was in school in 2004, I had a teacher who had worked on the ASN.1 spec.

In 2004, XML was all the rage. People would create "XML startups", and Microsoft did SOAP and some other guys XHTML, and XML schemas, semantic web and so on.

I remember that teacher being so upset that XML got big and ASN.1 disappeared. It was very awkward. Poor guy...
Why a non fungible token instead of a totally fungible ERC20 token for each song? So each person can buy the amount they want.

Why not use a traditional method like Bowie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_bond ? That gives some protection in case he, his manager or the discographic decides to do creative accounting.

Yeah the cognitive dissonance is fascinating in people all over the world. I hear the same responses from people here in California.

"Why don't you stop renting? Just buy a house like I did 15 years ago, taxes are so low!"

Right... your taxes are artificially low thanks to Prop 13.

"Why do we need high density housing? Just look further away from the city for cheaper housing, I'm going to stay put".
This is pretty much what I said... Not sure where the disagreement is exactly.
If you smoke cannabis you aren't getting much carboxylic acid cannabinoids at all, for sure nowhere near the amount required to hit micromolar concentrations at an in vivo receptor. Actually the same with CBD because its such a minor component.

I definitely won't argue about the numerous cannabinoids having an assortment of medical uses, but based on my knowledge of behavior and pharmacology the likely mechanism of people avoiding COVID when using cannabinoids for their psychoactive effect is the change in behavior rather than a direct pharmacological action affecting some mechanism of SARS-Cov-2. If its even related at all and not just anecdotal correlation, which is a seriously major possibility

I commented on a comment about using cannabis for the psychoactive effects very specifically, rather than commenting what I stated on the article itself

Now onto the article you posted, I just finished checking it over and I have some concerns.

First, considering this is a supposed pharmacological study I don't see concentrations of active compounds (THC or CBD) listed anywhere. These would be listed as something like uM or nM for micro or nanomolar. Perhaps I missed them and I'm open to anyone pointing out these values to me.

Secondly, this is a preprint study and when you look at the bottom under "competing interests" you can see that it was funded/performed by a cannabis company with skin in the game.

I'm not saying write it off entirely, but I'm very suspicious of the study for these reasons.

What got me into coding as a kid was modding games that I was already playing. Changing variables in GORILLA.BAS so they threw bananas at a faster speed. Messing with sprite files in Command and Conquer so I could design my own infantrymen. Anything where my changes gave me instant feedback was exhilarating. I think Minecraft and Roblox are the analogs today.
Remember the context: OP literally advocated for never being alone with a woman without a third party present.

Yes, I have conversation with friends that are not work-appropriate.

And I also have conversations with coworkers that are casual and work-appropriate. Yet they can be friendly and reference current events (which are inherently political), religion (e.g. acknowledging ramadan fasting), sexuality (gender of partner), or the existence of sex (parenting). OK that last one is a stretch.

But still, you can do all this without needing to firewall your entire personality.

> It's okay to keep steady and focus on the things you like.

Absolutely, would never have it any other way.

Personally, I just want to believe in what I do, and if I believe in it, I don't want it restricted by platform. YMMV and that's cool.
* Guided missiles are countered by stealth. You can't "lock onto" a target if its paint absorbs all forms of RADAR / senses.

* HEAT rounds are countered by reactive armor. Using an explosion upon impact means that the opponent can "counter-explode", and negate the physical effects of your explosion.

* SABOT / Armor Piercing rounds are countered by range.

* Big guns (120mm+) are countered by smaller targets spread out over a larger area. Big guns take a longer time to reload and fire, meaning you can easily get surrounded and killed.

* Small guns (12.7mm and smaller) are countered by various forms of armor. Sure, they can be fired extremely rapidly and kill many soft / unarmored targets. But a small-gun will never do anything to a tank or larger warship.

* Direct fire (both big and small) are countered by trenches and bunkers. It doesn't matter how big your gun is, it won't go through a dug-in dirt position.

* Indirect fire beats trenches. You lob your mortar very high into the air and drop them down on the enemy.

--------------

All weapons are countered by a strategy and/or technology. Lasers seem like the "combined arms" counterpart to Guided Missiles. The more your paint absorbs RADAR, the worse it will perform against lasers.

Big guns vs Small Guns is your Tank + Soldier combined arms. Small guns lose to tanks. Big guns win vs Tanks. Big Guns lose vs soldiers, small guns win vs Soldiers.

All weapons have some defense that beats them. Every defense loses to another weapon.
The key mistake in your paragraph is "while you still know where they are."

Even with RORSats (radar ocean recon sats) it's hard to track ships at sea. And RORSats aren't cheap, and dish size is important in detection range and fidelity. It'll be quite a while before they're deployed in quantities like Starlink. And Geosync orbits aren't cheap in terms of propellant cost etc etc. If you try to use IR sensors, that's tough in a maritime environment. Trying to use some sort of OCR with photosensors might work, but again, weather screws with that.

Additionally, ships have this ability to move. A CVN and accompanying ships can move at around 30 knots. If your kill chain takes 30 minutes from detection to launch, the CVN and its escorts can dramatically expand the area your missile needs to scan an acquire the target.

And I won't even comment about how you're equating jamming/blinding with an act of war. We even have ships/planes that are routinely exposed to jamming and blinding gear without resorting to outright combat.
Thanks for the recognition!
Not for most people there isn't, degree or no degree. Most people lack imagination, live boring lives, and want financial stability and a rewarding family life. Your last statement is very condescending.

If your goal is generational wealth, leaving your kids better off than you, return on capital investment and things like that, owning property as early as possible that you can afford to own puts you miles ahead of people that don't do it, again degree or no degree.
I mean eventually it’s gonna be YouTube only sends a DRM video stream and then the problem is done. Okay sure pirates will still exist but casual piracy got harder which is the point. DRM doesn’t try to put the genie back in the bottle, it only makes the path of least resistance going through legal channels.
