I mean there’s the Wagner Group very conspicuously using a German name despite being Russian and familiar skull design acting as a paramilitary organization in Russia’s “liberation” activities. [1]

There’s the fact 90% of Ukraine was completely peaceful just a month ago other than Russian funded “separatists” in the east constantly stirring things up. [2]

Russia claimed the whole Crimea operation was soldiers on vacation until they started blowing the place up and seized it. [3]

And Russia’s detraction from its own issues is so well known it has a wiki article. [4]

Tim O'rielly had a line that captured the late aughts well, "create more value than you capture." That your value was defined not only by yourself, but by the technical ecosystem (stephen o'grady: "tecosystem") one could beget, create. Anyone who captured the majority of the value would have forgone creating a higher value system to do so, would have arrived at a suboptimal, inadequate solution.

I think that still is true and applies fully. But we have seen few inspiring & motivational changes in computing in the last decade. Personal computing has been outmoded by profitable/cloudy Service-As-A-Software-Substitute (SaSS) systems. I don't think we have a lot evidence one way or another- it's just been greed & taking & ego that's made competing against cooperation/inter-networking/protocols be de-jure accepted. There just haven't been many efforts that have tried to see if improving the world has returns, creates good. These companies, as you say, are competing against what I see as basic, moral goodness & civil open society. But for a while these companies understood there was something to be gained by begetting rich & healthy online systems.

That pretense that these companies care in the least, most modest ways about anything outside their firewalls has been abandoned. The G+ era was the start of a new era of not giving a shit, thinking only of yourself, and there's been few left to hold up a light, to present a moral charge, there's been such absence of evidence after this dry up that doing the right thing, letting what you love free, can be good. Except, perhaps, in the more covert forms of tech. Projects like Kubernetes are undercurrents, demonstrating that the techies love taking advantages of & growing healthy technical ecosystems, love pushing the bounds, love creating value because they can. But in terms of consumer-facing technology, we've seen very little that matches the well accepted, reasoned, & hoped for course that tech like OpenSocial, Buzz, Salmon was trying to key up.

Recently, ActiviyStreams, ActivityPub, & other social web protocols have been doing ok. But we're still seeing only a very limited, unexpanding set of adopters. There hasn't been the kind of ultra-wide-scale adoption that tech like RSS/Atom had going, had pushing it forward. It's out there, but it's niche. And 100%, it's in many ways because content providers & platform providers both are trying to trump the social-benefit of open protocols, are desperate to capture the value themselves, while giving nothing away to a broader ecosystem.
Unless you are dealing with subjects that would actually use calculus, people in their day to day lives would do much better to understand probabilities, statistics and experiment design. Most of our lives are dealing with the results of empirical studies, in business, science and policy and humanity could use a big reminder that life is not a binary black or white, but a huge pot of maybes.

Otherwise it just gets absorbed and forgotten like another 'useless information' class. Ask how many CS majors post college use or remember calculus vs understanding stats for the seven millionth badly designed A/B test they ran at work today.

You have your history exactly backwards.

Ford and GM tried to cut the dealerships out of the equation several decades ago, and dealerships banded together in many states to lobby for legislation barring automakers from directly selling to customers.

BTW: you link to the NADA wikipedia page and claim that they represent the major automakers. They do not. They represent dealerships that sell cars made by the major automakers. The major automakers are not members of NADA.

As you can see, there is not really 1 brand to single out.

That Micron P400e was a pain to swap out in production, and if you use consumer drives there is even worse out there.

Note: this post is on something very specific about Ceph, but the idea translates to any other workload that does syncs (including LVM cache scenarios).

Using this logic, how does inflation ever end?

If your landlord doesn't raise rents, he's getting a paycut.

If your utility company doesn't raise rates, they're getting a paycut!

If the grocer doesn't raise prices, he's also getting a paycut.

But now we're back to you. Everyone else has raised prices to compensate so now you've got to charge more for labor again which eats into their margins and the vicious cycle continues. Sooner or later, someone will have to blink or this will continue to get even further out of hand.
I don't think it's a heavy claim? Consider the notion of having free speech standing alone in a room. This is obviously pointless. Why would it be a stretch for a court to make the observation that the point of free speech is that people hear you?

I remember thinking "oh yeah, that makes sense, they wouldn't view free speech in isolation but as a tool of the democratic process."
I've got the original black-and-white SimCity tile set kicking around somewhere, as well as all of the original color tile packs, too. (Medieval Village, Moon Base, etc.) It should be possible and straightforward to convert and reformat them into a single tile bitmap, and drop it in. If somebody wants to add them, ask me and I'll dig them up.

Original color tiles:

https://github.com/SimHacker/micropolis/blob/master/Micropol...

Chaim Gingold's SimCity Reverse Diagrams visually illustrate how all the tiles are organized, grouped, and animated, how the different phases of "Simulate()" perform different kinds of analysis over time, how the traffic and other simulations work, how data flows through the different map layers and models, and how different parts of the simulation interact with each other.

Ehrm I don't see how that issue should be solved. I gave it a first look and there's clearly no way of filtering by license. Most of the sources in deps are MIT license but there are also BSD. So after you copy all the libs together you have to go through the package.json to find all the different licenses and if obliged copy them into your archive. Same can hold for the code from various sources. I don't think they all follow the same standard (It's an assumption. I didn't bother checking it.).

Off Topic: Chrome is likely a very good benchmark for comparing between Intel x86 chip and Apple M1. Where Google spend enough time to optimise on both platform.

I wonder if they could work on Memory usage next.

Compared to Safari, getting jank from Address bar, bookmark, history, show all tabs, SafariBookMarkSyncAgent is leaking memory. It seems every release Safari added more features and bug fix for compatibility while performance has been in steady decline.

Teaching people that there are lots of problems where solving them numerically is the best way of solving them is often just the truth. Also, you then get to discuss some of the really cool numerical techniques which tend to get short-changed in traditional math classes.
> unfortunately going to be 0, simply because there's no way to test for functionality, performance, event logs, if it doesn't compile.

You could always have someone look at their work. Or better yet walk through it with them to try and ascertain their thinking. This is what I do with my team, multiple times week, in my actual job. Seems better than immediately excluding them
In the case of the MotionMark benchmark (more graphics/rendering focused), I have Safari beating Chrome's score by more than double (2703 vs 1152) on my M1 Max machine. Now I don't think Safari is 2x as fast as Chrome per se but it does explain how these speedometer tests can be so "close" yet Safari still feels faster.

EDIT: Firefox gets a 1336
I believe you, yet western countries refused to discuss that very topic few weeks ago when Russia demanded that NATO was not extended further. Frankly, as a mere western Europe citizen, arguably living far away from russian borders, I could not care less about NATO extension. I feel more threatened by the war mongering in the west than by the russian army, and I suspect many other people feel the same. Yet this opinion is not represented at all in the western "democracies".

Yeah, the peace offer sounds worth considering. But can you trust Russia to withdraw?

FWIW I did a keto cycle and found myself sleeping much better when I was getting into the fat adaption phase.

Also after wearing my Garmin to gauge heart rate and sleep effectiveness I found refined carbs eaten late in the evening keep me up at night.

So might be worth experimenting and seeing if anything effects your sleep positively.
On that subject we might ask if the Eastern recruiters care about things like background searches, "polygraphs" or what recreational substances the subjects use on their free time.

But yeah it's all of the factors you mentioned.
Operate as in, put fuel in it, turn it on, tell it where to go. You can operate a dishwasher without washing the dishes yourself.

People are required to buy insurance to operate a vehicle. I don't see how why this needs to be any different.

Companies go out of business. How can a defunct company be held legally liable? Companies and employees can easily die over the 20 year lifetime of a car. Liability can only be placed on the operator.

Companies release new models every year. They get safer every year. Older cars will be more expensive to insure. Will a company want pay the ongoing insurance cost of your 20-30 year old self driving vehicle? What if they can't afford to? Will you still be able to use the car you bought despite the company not being able to insure it? or refusing to insure it (and wanting to force you into a new vehicle purchase)?

All these problems magically go away when you make the operator responsible. They are able to make the choice every month whether they want to continue to pay to insure it, and are legally required to have insurance even if they die in the accident.

Some brands will have better safety, and buying insurance for them will be cheaper. Everyone with the same car model will have pretty much the same insurance rate, unless you are negligent when it comes to maintenance.

Insurance companies are more than capable of calculating these costs. Especially over 10-20 year time frames.

If this sounds crazy to you, it's not that much different than buying liability insurance for pets. Owners are legally responsible.

If you don't want to be legally responsible, don't buy a self driving car. Or a dog for that matter.
Russia first! Putin must be stoked.
I don't like American-style suburbs, I'm not defending cars over people. I think the lack of public transportation in the US is a tragedy.

But "You must live in one of 100 identical walk-up 4-storey courtyard-facing brown brick blocks, with a limited selection of approved local community businesses, and commute or drive for anything else" seems oppressive, yeah. Some people want to live in shiny glass high rises, or pay a premium to have a private yard, or live on a busy street full of bars and clubs. We don't need to define the One True Housing for Everyone and then implement it city-wide, we could just put a few of these superblocks within cities. But Barcelona looks just as oppressive to me as endless American suburbs, though admittedly it may be more pleasant to live there.

It's not fat as such, it's primarily inflammation and it looks like it's due to seed oils.

https://youtu.be/7kGnfXXIKZM

Think about it, what's in everything in western diets and what is perceived as healthy for you. You might say sugar, but it's not seen as a good thing, seed oils are even more pervasive, seen as healthy and prime the body for problems with sugar.

I grew up in NZ in the 70s, there was maybe one fat kid in one class. We all ate lamb chops 3 times a week and had dessert with ice cream every night. Same with my great grandmothers on both sides that both lived way past 100.

But late 70s, margarine turned up as a "healthy alternative". Bullshit, the yellow dye is suss alone, but it's made with seed oils.

And canola, and so on.
I think you can make a better counter-argument than "it's unrealistic, people are stupid and they won't do it". The idea that more nukes are making the world safer is like the idea that everybody having a gun is making USA safer.

There has been some progress on this in recent years, see https://www.icanw.org/. And in fact the nuclear arsenals of USA and Russia have been (albeit too slowly) reducing over the past 30 years. But more governments (NATO expansion) relying on nukes for their security (which is a false sense) is a pretty big setback.
Academics refer to this phenomenon as the "greed cycle".

Interest rates are a policy decision by the federal reserve. Maintain a debt instead of printing money is a policy decision by Congress.

In practice the government going into debt denominated in its own currency, and printing more of its own currency are essentially the same thing.

Mechanically, when the interest rates go higher the Fed policy, the fed just buys the debt itself, driving up the market price (therby down interest rate). In effect, this converts US debt into cash. Similarly, they can sell treasury debt, driving up the interest rate.

It is just a quirk of bookkeeping that the we keep track of how much money the treasury owes the federal reserve.
He said margins. Your link doesn't refute his point.
> That's better, because with the PCIe layer and a real host controller on the dock/hub, you finally get 480Mbps per port for USB downstream devices.

The hypothetical I was comparing against when I said 'worse' was also delivering 480Mbps per port.

The reason I say worse is because this chip converts USB to USB, while those hubs did PCIe to USB, which is much more complicated and a security hazard and doesn't work on many devices. It wasn't about the merits of tunneling as a general idea.

Also do thunderbolt hubs have a controller per port? Not just one per hub?
Right. It's comparable in power to Fukushima Unit 1.

Is there any good info about this? Why is it smaller? Do they claim it doesn't need a containment vessel? NuScale and some others have tried that.
