> fight an actual war against an enemy with an air force

Like Iraq? Or Afghanistan? Or do you mean an air force that's at least somewhat comparable to ours, like Russia or China?

Case one is that we're up against an enemy with a drastically inferior air force, in which case WVR is never going to happen. Their air capability will be devastated whether on the ground or in the air.

Case two is that we're up against a country with a powerful air force. Assuming we're somehow tiptoeing around the issue of full-blown nuclear war, we're now talking about a situation where combat is somehow happening hundreds of miles away from either side's radar-guided mobile SAM systems (Russia's S-400 has an operational range of at least 400km), both sides have managed to evade multiple BVR missile launches per airframe, both sides have an equal number of jets in the engagement, and the area objective is so important that it's worth gambling multiple $50+ million jets on.

Do you realize how comically implausible this scenario is?

If you can think of a more realistic situation in which the US will actually engage their fighter jets in dogfighting, I’m all ears.
> These thefts not only hurt the companies but also hurt each buyer who will have to pay indirectly for the added cost of operations.

In modern parlance 'Tankie' is generally used to refer to people on the left who support authoritarian governments. (see second paragraph in definition section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie#Definition)

So yeah basically the intersection of "left wing" and "thinks the Chinese government is great" (which as you point out is not a particularly large group of people, at least in the USA).
I don't think you can plausibly read Watchmen and not understand the commentary that the Rorschach character is making on the genre. If you like the character, his subtext is part of your opinion.

hah, exactly. “application-specific views...Going back decades”, or “substitute Stored Procs for views”.

It’s not really much extra overhead to use a schema+views. I ask developers to avoid creating views with “Select *”, always specify the columns desired.

Further decoupling is possibly beneficial, e.g. CQRS is wonderful perspective for designing data models that may be more easily distributed or cacheable (by explicitly choosing to separate query schema from modification schema).
I mean there was lighttpd before nginx and they have/had pretty similar structures, weights, etc.

These appear to be two groups, opportunistic, and organized. I imagine some basic security hardening would deter the opportunistic ones but different strategies would be needed for organised groups.
Part of this (from what I understand) is that casting a wide net and offering treatment can be an incredible preventative for children. So long as you aren't by default shoveling meds into the patient or telling them something is wrong with them (thus making false-positives almost certainly destructive diagnoses), a lot can be gained by guiding people with ADHD towards treatments.

There is a staggering amount of progress and recovery to be made, or damage to be avoided, by diagnosing ADHD. I'm all for a wide net so long as people getting caught in it are treated properly on an individual basis.
I certainly did not expect the libertarian ideal of depending for protection wholly on private security, instead of on the state, to be first implemented in Los Angeles, of all places.
Actually no, the parent comment is correct:

When you undergo an acceleration, it corresponds to a hyperbolic rotation of the spacetime around you (from your frame of reference). When the acceleration is small, the rotation is also very, very small; however at very large distances, even a small rotation can have a large effect.

In the example, that "large effect" is the alien debate moving in time forward or backwards a day (again, from the accelerated reference frame).

This has nothing to do with the observation delay, it's just an artefact of what it means for two far apart events to happen "simultaneously": simultaneity is a relative property, so two things that happen simultaneously in one reference frame might not happen simultaneously in another.

The reason this doesn't introduce a paradox is because without a specific reference frame, events only have a partial order: when you compare two events, there are three possible results:

1) Event A is in the past light-cone of event B.

2) Event B is in the past light-cone of event A.

3) Neither event is in the past light-cone of the other.

For 1+2 this means that the time between the events is greater than the distance between the events, whereas for 3 it means the reverse. For 1+2, the ordering of the events is the same for any reference frame. For 3, there will always be some frame of reference where both events appear to happen at exactly the same time, so nothing can be said about their order without choosing a reference frame.
It looks like you're writing a letter.

UP already has their own police. Why bother investing in more, if none of the arrests result in charges? It's pointless to spend more.
Well, first they need to be caught and brought up on charges. Then they can be prosecuted.

The bigger question is where even is the LAPD?
Not really though, it's just another layer which isn't wine. They might put effort in to help Rosetta translate, but wine is not an emulator.

Early on Google adverts were entirely targeted on search terms and made tons of money.

I use Wine to run Photoshop CC 2018 on Ubuntu LTS and my life would be very different if that were not possible.

To add a bit more, "svidaniye" means a date, and "Do svidaniya" literally means "till [our next] date". In English, "see you" or "see you later" translates closest to the original phrase in Russian.
No, I am saying you would save that much money more cheaply via other methods.

Sure, saving 3k/year on heating costs for a single family home is extremely high. An average 1,800sf house in Massachusetts on $1.87/therm natural gas is only projected at $1,243 / year in heating bills for 2021/2022. That said you can always build a larger house, so saving 3k/year isn’t impossible it’s just much easier when you include better methods to collect sunlight than covering a side of your house in giant windows which have low R factors because their giant windows.

PS: Insulation alone can only make so much difference. In other words you might save 1000$/year going from R10 to R20, but then going from R20 to R30 doesn’t also save you another 1,000$. Very quickly you’re better off collecting energy rather than reducing heat loss.
At that point it should be easy to return, at least.

This. It is weird to read basic administrator mode referred to as something beyond mere man's understanding, but it does feed into this narrative that an average human should not try mess with the magic box.
The Genesis mythology is probably the syncretic fragments of poems and stories gathered over time. When the Egyptians ruled the Levant, the Hebrews were pantheistic nomadic wanderers. Then they became henotheistic pastoralists and settlers under the Akkadians. During Greeks reign, they became monotheistic urban citizens. So the mythos had to keep changing.

The accreation mythos went through multiple and severe editing during the Akkadian times under the reigning Akkadian priests so as to completely remove the Hebrews from the Egyptian pantheistic influence. This became the creation myth of the OT.. Parashah B'reshit.

The Canaanites(includes the Hebrews) managed to keep some parts of the Baal cycle mythos but mostly relied on the stories from Akkadian priests.

The Akkadian Mythology itself runs parallel to the Hittite and Chaldean creation myths. Their origins are lost suggesting that there were even older creation myths from which they derived their own narrative mythology.

For example..look at Tiamat (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat ), a salt water sea dragon/serpent who is sibling of Apsu (fresh water). Tiamat was later killed by Marduk who used her parts to create the other worlds. Marduk (storm god), the son of Enki(water god).

Genesis follows the same story structure up until the flood myth and the ark. So Hebrew creation mythos/Genesis was definitely derivative and also underwent multiple edits and rewritten over the centuries.

Here's food for thought: most of the "regulations" in the tech industry have started well past the point of when apple & google, facebook have established themselves as the big monopolistic players.
So while Google complains now about regulation, and i'm in the same boat generally speaking: less regulation is net positive in the vast majority of cases, it's kind of hypocritical from them to say it:these corporations have enjoyed 10-15 years or even more of non-regulations towards them.And, without sourcing the following statement because i don't have the information at hand, in most cases Google,Apple & Co. themselves have >lobbied< for legislation, regulations, which raise the bar of entry in the market.Again, no sources to hold my statement, but i would be surprised if anyone is able to dig anything up considering the amount of collusion that kept happening for the last 20 years when talking about billions->now trillion dollar industry.
Surely it would be quite easy for them to provide statistics of how many cases of $crimes were solved/stopped because of unencrypted messaging.

My impression seems to be that it's almost always reported long after the fact or some vigilante posing as a child.

Neither of which would be prevented by e2ee.
I believe the answer is no.

I dont have sources but I've read studies of the creative output of people who only do work when feeling inspired creative motivated and whatnot vs those who do purely out of discipline and habit. And even same people in different moods. And there is no discernable difference in output.

That doesn’t make any sense. What precedent is there for this sort of action? Do we really want the government to be micro managing the features of online services?
There is a new technology that I learnt of recently. It’s called paper. It can be used to create instruction booklets or, by adding glue, it can become a sticker. We could print those keys on it.
The problem with 'smart' devices I think is something akin to a conflict of interest.

On the one hand you're purchasing hardware, which you expect to own and control.

On the other, there is software that runs on a subscription model which 'coincidentally' restricts the functionality of the hardware, because they want to stop people from bypassing the sub.

The hardware effectively becomes useless if the subscription service becomes unavailable or is taken down (e.g. if the company is acquired and the new company doesn't want to support that stuff any more). It might still function mechanically, but it now has a broken appendage through no fault of your own.

I just don't think I could justify a purchase like that nos unless I could square that circle. I'm not going to pay 2k for a Peloton bike that holds itself hostage unless I pay another 40 a month.
Less-Than-Linear Fibonacci
Create an eco-village (buy land and everyone puts their own tiny houses on it), go mostly off-grid, use alternative search engines, create mutual aid w/ others to provide healthcare costs for the least of the members, and create some recurring streams of income -- glamping maybe? or real estate rent outside the intentional community...expand this to a worker co-op or just something where you have a lot of people who can synergistically combine forces and create mutual aid networks, alternative to current companies that are themselves worker owned and part of the syndicate...etc...

So step 1 would be start a co-op or co-living space. Step 2 - join w/ other co-ops/co-living spaces to create a wider network. Step 3 - create powerful income producing shared resources among the groups. Step 4 - ignore the govt cause they now provide less and less benefit and thus have less control on your life.
Pinkertons (or any private security) basically have no authority to use lethal force anymore (unless the criminal is dumb enough to attack them), so their value as a deterrent is minimal.

They can theoretically arrest, but if the prosecutors don't press charges, it's meaningless.
I might have a connection. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I like how the article gives examples of the sort of entropy players draw on to make their random choices:

Thanks for the wonderfully detailed response and perspective. I appreciate it. Cheers.
It's a reasonable comparison, but it's probably more like being great at a sport: a professional tennis player is not going to become a professional bicyclist with a few weeks of effort.
Honestly, it is getting to the point where your best bet is to buy a cheaper device with minimal features, then mount a screen onto it and hook it up to a Linux box to play what you want.

Cheaper and actually gives you what you want. Might force the vendor to allow for more customization, given a lot of people stop buying their premium range.
My point was that the kind of budgets of AAA games have now completely dwarf the “AAA” games from 20 years ago. There are still innovative games being made with the equivalent budgets and team sizes of those older games (2-50 people, $10 million or less).

On top of that, there are still massive budget AAA games that are willing to take risks for artistic integrity. Obvious examples of this are things like Death Stranding or The Last of Us 2.

Blizzard’s quality hasn’t actually fallen. They’ve clearly had some internal culture issues but their games have always been stellar. They just operate on glacial timescales which everyone seems to forget. Their last release was in 2016, which was Overwatch, a fantastic game.

And re: Fortnite, if you don’t think the building is strategic, you need to watch some high end competitive matches. It’s incredibly tactical. Each player acts like a real time map designer trying to give themselves the biggest positional advantage (while balancing resource usage etc). I would argue that it uses the full 3-dimensions more than any other competitive game out there.
Degraded mode enabled maybe?
This isn't completely accurate.

This client and all other 3rd party clients use tdlib, which is Telegram's open source client library to their servers. tdlib's development is notoriously behind compared to the client library used by their 1st party apps (which isn't tdlib). A good chunk of Telegram's modern features (voice chats, voice calling, chat reactions) aren't available on tdlib.

>The damning thing here is the lack of prosecution for the arrests that have happened. It's a clear message to offenders that they can continue what they are doing with no serious consequences.

Also missing, is the figure of number of arrests that haven't been prosecuted. That data should be out there somewhere. It's interesting that no data to prove the theory has surfaced.

Interesting interpretation. Shame was not mentioned. What was mentioned: a workaround to a problem.
Non-prosecution sends a signal "it's okay, we will not prosecute you". Less scrupulous people learn there is no prosecution and this becomes a routine drag on rail commerce. In Nigeria you get people who hijack petrol transportation --often times they lead to fiery explosions. It's not a path we should want to devolve to. The middle ages had highway men. We want to avoid going backwards.
Killing pirates has been done relatively recently. There was even a movie starring Tom Hanks based on one such incident entitled “Captain Phillips”. Also, that was not the only nor last incident when pirates were killed.
