The US spends more per capita because we don't control prices the same way other sane countries do; the military budget rhetoric is just a smokescreen to keep people voting in folks who are lining their own pockets. As if shrinking one would increase the effectiveness of the other. The money and resources are THERE they just don't get USED effectively.
> because it's not only cheaper, it's also more "like being there".

"Being there" is an excuse Hollywood has used for ages for not training actors properly, not doing any fight choreography etc.

Marvel now spends millions of dollars on boring CGI fights because they couldn't be bothered to spend the same (or actually less) money on filming actual fights. Just look at what John Wick did with a 54-57-year old actor and Nobody did with a 57-year old actor for the fraction of the price of most modern action movies.
I recall seeing that hyperkinetic cutting in Gladiator a few years before Lord of the Rings. I didn't like it then, either. It conveys the feeling of confusion in a battle, which is realistic, but I don't find it a very interesting feeling.

I'd much rather see something with stakes. It doesn't even have to be that large-scale. Two actors hitting each other -- showing their whole bodies, for at least a few seconds between cuts -- gives me a chance to sense how they feel each other out, what risks they're taking, how a blow actually hurts and has consequences.

If the only emotion I'm getting is "confused", then I'm just marking time until somebody tells me who won and who lost.
Not centralize, probably more like regulate.
I think you miss the point: Google are the data processor in this case. (In fact, as the body collecting the data, they also have shades of a data controller.) Doesn't matter if they're a subcontractor: they have responsibilities under the GDPR, because they're the ones holding onto that data. It's not like they're holding it in some form, passing it on to the website owner, and obliterating it.

I would recommend searching for the terms "data processor" and "data controller" on the European Commission website. They have very clear explanations of the responsibilities for both.

OK so question: How generalizable is this? Does it come with controllers? Can I hook in controllers from another system (vive, index, oculus, etc.)? Can I play video games with this (I know that's not the main point of it, but still it would be nice)? Can I stream a video feed from a real world camera (like with a raspberry pi) to the interior displays?

Either way, glad to see you guys still going strong with this, been following for a few months now. As others have mentioned, I got a little bit of sticker shock when I first saw the price. Was expecting something closer to ~$2k. Do you have an ETA for when the kickstarter will be going up? I'll have to think about backing this, depending on the answers to my questions above.
This has always seemed like a weird defense of college sports to me, because college swimming, soccer, etc. are still an elite cadre of extremely physically fit young people.

Maintaining physical health is huge, but the demographic that needs to be targeted is lower performance level that club sports. Even THOSE are quite competitive. Even the (very fit) people who participate often cease physical activity and healthy eating soon after graduation.

On the other hand, subsidizing college gym facilities does tend to reach most of the student body. Required athletics classes is even more effective and pays long-term dividends (if they haven't been canceled due to COVID by now). But even more-so than that, consistent physical activity for grade school and high school would be even better from a whole society perspective.

I think it is telling that even Hollywood is not yet on the 8K bandwagon; for example the ARRI Alexa LF camera mentioned in the article is "4.5K" and the Sony Venice is "6K"; I venture to guess that vast majority of feature films are produced at 4k currently. I find it unlikely that smartphone video footage would be at this point significantly improved by changing recording format to 8k.
IMHO games are slowly becoming simply colorful Skinner boxes. I think we've always kinda walked the thin line between fun and exploitation, it was always a fragile balance, which now has tipped over to the exploitation side. If people accept it (and actually enjoy it) then there is basically no reason for companies not to do it. I guess an indie dev creates games for fun and art, especially in the beginning, but a job is a job and if it pays better, then why not? I wish gamers would move away from this and value more the subjective characteristics of fun and beauty, etc. but the truth is that we can't really control that.
The other part of the joke is he bought both a film and digital camera. He then shot the movie using both formats. They were the first to do this. Tommy was such a visionary.
> I once saw in a developing country with no reliable police this sign: "Thief found, thief hanged". I asked the person driving me around and he said "yeah, they mean it". So I think in your experiment the people who would suffer most would be the real criminals.

And then you have lynchings like with Ahmaud Arbery. Not a thief, still shot and killed. Vigilante "justice" is often not just.

Though you may be right, an increase in lynchings may overall reduce crime (as presently defined, and excepting lynchings). It will also probably have a lot more false positives than the existing system, increasing paranoia with respect to outsiders and "others". So crime in a community may go down, safety for outsiders will likely go down, and for insiders may go up.

Hmmm I'd want to see some data on this before drawing any conclusions, because my anecdotal experience is the opposite. The poor teenagers I knew pretty much all had jobs, in large part because they needed the money. Their only option to be able to buy new clothes or a used car was to earn the money themselves. Well off kids didn't have that same sort of pressure.

The criticality score in the referenced post about critical projects [1], the resulting projects [2] and the the "combined" list of various other sources of critical projects [3][4] all don't seem particularly on-point to me.

Particularly the criticality score ratings seem just about entirely useless. Mostly seems to reflect different kinds of workflows. Using things like comment frequency etc will never get at the type of projects the xkcd comic in [1] is about.

Highly recommend "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" by John Mearsheimer.

For Russia, annexing (all or part of) Ukraine now is too good a deal to pass. Russia knows that invading with an overwhelming force will result in a virtually bloodless annexation, just like the Taliban took over Afghanistan in a matter of weeks, and just like they themselves took over Crimea. Ukraine claims they'll fight to the last drop of blood, but theory and practice are a bit disconnected when you are a garrison in a city that's being approached by a few tens of thousands of soldiers and a few thousand tanks. Thinks looks different still if 50 other cities surrendered without a fight by the time it's your turn.

Russia is a country in the middle of a population collapse. They are less than 145 MM now, projected to get to 125 MM by 2050. Their great power aspirations dwindle by the day. But adding Ukraine, Belarus, Khazakstan and Uzbekistan brings an immediate boost of more than 100 MM. Every night Putin puts his head on the pillow, these things swirl in his head, "one hundred million more Russians", "Mother Russia great again", "they disrespect us now, we'll show them who's the boss", "enough is enough", etc, etc.
If downplaying side effects had an overall greater outcome, would it be unethical and "obviously wrong"?

Nothing is truly obviously wrong. In fact many things we think are obviously wrong, aren't. The ethics of these sorts of things are truly nontrivial.

If you're suggesting we have hte vaccine policies we do so that pfizer etc profit, well I doubt I am going to convince you otherwise. I work in pharma, have a pretty good understanding of our leadership's thought patterns, and I think the vast majority of them would more than happily take a business loss if it meant the world became healthier, but they'd rather keep doing their research and development in the meantime.
I don't know whether it was a bioweapon. But consider that if the goal of a bioweapon is to disrupt your adversaries as much as possible, which is more effective:
1. having it kill almost everyone (including your own people) and then disappear, or
2. having it kill some people, cause fear and panic, and disrupt economies and societies for years on end?
If it is a bioweapon, it's been an extremely effective one.
The experience of color is ultimately a bunch of neurons firing in a certain way. The neurons themselves don't experience anything - the entire assembly does, as a whole. From that perspective, it's not clear why the Chinese room can't experience colors, even if individual people-"neurons" only transmit the underlying signals like RGB measurements.
There's a lot of misleading information out there. On this site I once saw a carpenter say he was making more than he used to make as a $300k software developer. But I had some carpenters working for me and somehow I figured out they made around a tenth of that. In reality some of the outliers making a ton of money are wearing many hats as sales/marketing people, employing and managing subcontractors and employees, perhaps running their own website and SEO, and to truly get the gravy train running they nail some big sale where they sell some huge contract for an overpaying corporate client.
Why are we even talking about ASN.1/DER/BER? We should, like the ancient Egyptian priests who opposed Akhenaten, chisel it's name from every public edifice. Referring to it not as "ASN.1, the platform-independent abstract type system," but "the great heresy, which shall not be named."
> You might have heard of similar such abstract syntax notations used for interface definitions such as Google Protocol Buffers, or Facebook’s Apache Thrift, but those languages have not been managed by a standardization organization, so the owning corporations could (in theory) make breaking changes or change the license or even remove the language definitions overnight.

Is this really the main difference between ASN.1 and Google protobufs, that one is managed by a private corporation and the other by a standardization organization? Can they otherwise be used "interchangably" in designing interfaces, a la two different programming languages (with different syntax of course)?
I really wish more work was done on patients records in general. I took Cipro 10 years ago, and still suffer from some neurological and connective tissue problems. It's not as bad as it was initially but it hasn't resolved yet.

I have seen physicians in top US hospitals and tried telling them I literally suffered after 2nd dose. 2 out of 40+ physicians considered it a possibility after me questioning their thought process and educating them on the "black label" the drug has and how the warnings on it evolved over the last 10 years.

I was tested for everything else and everything was negative. This has left me pretty disappointed with the medical community in the general. I would expect doctors to inform the FDA, most adverse reactions for this drug are reported by patients.

I am active in several communities and many people presenting with idiopathic SFN, CFS, IBS, tendon issues and other neurological problems started suffering shortly after taking flouroquinolone antibiotics. The label itself states that tendon issues may show up even 12 months after last dose. After learning about this possible connection, individuals inform their doctors who just deny the possibility.

Just to add these antibiotics can and have saved peoples lives, however, it is no longer recommended as a first line medication due to high risk of ADRs. Last year I had stomach pain, and doctor said maybe take cipro just in case......I was visibly upset as 1. I'm allergic, 2. I don't have a confirmed infection 3. It should not be a first line treatment.
Obviously rape would be at one end of the spectrum but what's the distribution of incidents over the entire spectrum?

They say in that report you linked in the OP that they include "behaviours such as unwelcome sexual comments, actions or advances" which are entirely subjective.
From an n=1 study? it's far more likely to be spurious noise than real.
> Coming soon to kill your open source project: a current chain of custody and audit certificate that all corporations will require in your repo (along with that MIT license!).

Why would that kill your project? Presumably you’re maintaining it for your own use if it’s a hobby project. Who cares if some for-profit company who wasn’t contributing code or financial support doesn’t use it?

Thanks, well the Scala involved a pretty nice Hierarchical State Machines and an embedded DSL combinator for the custom rules engine. The Java process used Eclipse with State Machine plugins and god knows what for the rules engine. The Java version was an unwieldy monstrosity. It's creators couldn't abandon it fast enough. It was only two people tasked with replacing it, out of a pretty huge company, it really wasn't that big of a deal for the company so few knew about it.

Indeed the suffering from abuse can reach everyone around them. And the suffering of partners is very real, as a loving intimate relationship is one of life's great joys.

I suppose that I was struck by the above comment mostly because it is so focused on the suffering of abused women's partners as to be jarring in the context of the OP. These sensibilities are my own however, and I should not judge so hastily
And they still managed to get the round corners wrong, apparently. According to that page, the radius values are hardcoded in pixels, so they don't scale with the display's DPI setting.

That's at least a decade after the W3C had a well-developed concept of relative units for use with the CSS:

https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/units.html#future (2010)

Thus, with a sufficiently high DPI display, you're going to miss out on one of Windows 11's "signature experiences" and end up with "legacy" squarish corners instead.
We need to include high availability, disaster recovery, managing db, security & other good stuff if we need to run in production. This is where managed services excel. I do not want to do all these if I am in early stage of a startup.
The chain of thought works like this:

1. Navies still rely on surface vessels for many roles/tasks. While subs are the most lethal killers afloat, there's a lot of roles they can't fulfill.

2. Surface vessels are hard to automate. The attempts to reduce staffing costs led to debacles like the LCS, and contributed to issues with the Ford CVN class.

3. Smaller surface vessels (as shown with the LCS) can't really stay on station as long, transit long distances as well, and deal with the same weather conditions. Additionally, they can't carry as many munitions, limiting their ability to fight. And some weapons simply won't fit on small ships (the hypersonic missiles mentioned in the article, as well as larger VLS based weapons).

4. While a greater number of small ships seems to increase your survivability, the lower capability of these small ships don't make the tradeoff worthwhile.

5. Studies have shown that larger ships (especially large carriers) are generally more effective dollar for dollar than smaller ships. I think this translates to surface combatants as well as carriers.

6. Automated surface combatants have issues if they're not "managed" by a controlling ship that has personnel that can do maintenance as well as deter people from screwing with them. Ships require continual maintenance, not just the electronics etc, but the ship itself. Otherwise you end up with rust buckets that don't last through their planned service life.
Sure enough the American college system is rotten, but let's also shed some light on financial literacy. We'll use "Brian" from the article.

Brian can't be bothered to enroll into college because he's tired of remote learning.

Yes, remote learning sucks. Doesn't mean you should stop. I'm bothered by this optionality. Later in life you're going to do a lot of things that suck, but have to do anyway. Further, at such young age, I would expect some hawkish parent to "help out" with the choice, but I guess I'm old fashioned.

Fine, though. Delaying enrollment whilst earning some cash in the meanwhile is not the end of the world. And so Brian starts work at Jimmy's sandwiches.

Then comes his mastermind move: he starts work at an Amazon warehouse for slightly more pay, yet needs to buy a car to get there. For which he takes a loan.

I imagine many Americans don't even blink at this, but it's absolutely moronic. The very point of the break from school was to earn cash. Instead of saving it up, he's now in debt for the car, works a shit job, and comes short both for his "needs" and for college.

Brian seems to have some self awareness at this point:

"It's so hard," he says. "I'm just like, 'Wow, if I go to school, I'm going to take time off and I'm not going to have any money for things I need.'"

Yeah, Brian, Wow indeed. Typical for American consumer culture: spending above your means from the very start.
I am genuinely, honestly confused as to how you cannot see how all these points are congruent with one another.

I believe go is a bad language. I have nuanced, lengthy, and detailed opinions behind that belief which stem from 24 years of software engineering, 4 years of professional experience specifically with golang, and professional experience writing, deploying, and maintaining production software using C, C++, Rust, Java, Ruby, Perl, and JavaScript. And I have zero interest in rehashing the past twelve years' worth of arguments against golang with someone who's repeatedly signaled a frustrating level of obstinance.

Whatever wild conclusions you choose to jump to from there are your own doing, not mine.
Thanks for the report! Glad real UTF-8 is the default at least.
It seems that a linter tool would catch this even if TypeScript isn't used. In any case even if "get" is used, a coder might accidentally write

Especially considering that the ads displayed are invariably horrible.
I don't see how that's any different than where we started from? Google can't just take over an open source library and declare no one can work on it any more.

Normalization is pretty independent of optimization strategy and generally that's not presented as one of its advantages. Normalizing data can improve write performance but will make reads slower, so if you have a write intensive database then you will see some performance gains.
