Disclaimer: Not a physicist, but have been watching many youtube videos. So please correct me if I'm thinking of this wrong.

An electron is bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force, but is not a round ball, but a wave distribution of probabilities.

I don't know if it's the actual case, but I've been thinking of all "particles" like "waves" in a pool. Small disturbances in the fields (e.g. electromagnetic), like jumping in a pool. The electron IS the disturbance, because to us that is what we can measure (and we can only measure one place at a time). So the electron doesn't rotate around the nucleus - instead its a wave in the same area where the nucleus is. The electron's "probability wave" disturbs the space around the nucleus - including inside it, and 1000 miles away from it. It's just has way more disturbance in certain places - AKA "the shell" its in. Just like any wave, it "fades" with distance but who's to say where the wave ends.

In fact, that wave isn't exactly the same for every electron. Each "shell" is waving at a different amplitude (is amplitude the right analogy?) - and you can only have so many "waves" add up in a shell simply because there's no more room because of the length of each wave (like a spiral-o-graph). You can only put another wave in the gaps of the previous wave (if you did put two in the same place, it would double and be part of the next shell, right?). And when an electron's amplitude changes, e.g. is lowered, the total energy can't be destroyed, so the difference is emitted as another wave of the difference - that wave is a photon. And the same applies when a photon is added to that wave. Like rowing in the water - the exiting wave and the rowed wave is added together. I think of Photons are partial Electrons. They are like the "wake" of an electrons wave change.

My bigger issue is them adding hidden nodes that can potentially access my services. If I use Tailscale to provide (otherwise unauthenticated, since I've already authenticated to Tailscale) access to, say, a file server, a hidden node can just see all my files.
No one who was silenced has ever filed a complaint.
When Nova first came out I wrote a small extension [0] to provide an autopep8 formatting, but there is too much manual management on the user's end. Since there is no API to manage extension dependencies, the user has to manually install and specify the path to where `autopep8` is, which to my mind is a lot of friction.

Compare that to VSCode, where there is a whole API [1] for formatting extensions!

They moved the circles from outside of the ring to 100% part of the ring.

This has completely changed my view of the product, and I will now replace all of my RHEL subscriptions with Canonical.
Tailscale ACLs can prevent that.
If solving a problem isn't going to 1) move the stock price up and /or 2) move a metric that gets someone promoted or 3) help avoid significant negative publicity in some way, it's never going to get solved
Cmd-Shift-O for opening files. It's also remappable.

I also bounced off of Nova for other reasons, but saying the hotkeys differ from one's favorite editor is a strange complaint
Was thinking of halogenated NBOMe series - observed in humans to have a pretty narrow therapeutic index re: death, cheapish synth, can be vaporized

But yeah 2b could be worse. Or many other targets as well

Funny thing, optimizing "research chemicals" for (1) uncontrolled synthetic pathway and (2) potency is common to Institutional, Druggie, and Terrorist researchers. None of them want to go through the bureaucracy for controlled substances and potency is good for [better controlled experiments / smaller quantities to transport / more killing power]
> it could exist in issolated-enough patches of the Universe. Photons, gravitational waves or neutrinos coming from those regions would not differ in any way, so we would not be able to identify those regions, up until they merge with normal-matter-filled ones

Interesting. So how do we know there actually is more matter than antimatter in the universe? Couldn't there be a roughly equal number of sufficiently isolated pockets of each?
They also sell these in the US as well.

They are good to have if you live in an area with natural disasters, 5-year shelf life and you just keep it somewhere that you can quickly grab if you ever need to evacuate.
> I forget if the new facility included a pool, but the new rink was better than the old one.

The recent Winter Olympics in Beijing used the swimming stadium from the 2012 Summer Games for curling. I assume they just put a floor over the pool(s?) with cooling loops in it, and possibly some of the machinery in the emptied pool itself. Maybe they did it the same way in Vancouver?
I must say that I'm not looking forward to this. GA4 doesn't seem like my cup of tea. UA is what I need and I know how to use it.
I think so. I originally said there were a lot of holes in their argument, but I think they didn't actually make an argument in the first place, they just made a claim with no evidence behind it.
I find the idea that some elite group are out there to take over the world makes even less sense. For what end? The elite already rule the world with a compliant society, who are all working on their "wage-slavery", with their aspirations of buying that new handbag or sportscar or graphics card because they think bragging about it on social media will fulfill them... But noo, there must be an insidious plot to make us all unhappy North Korean-esque slaves that start with mask mandates and "forced" vaccinations, because that way the elite will... what? What will they gain?
Hmm, did they change the link? The article looks different and more in-depth than the first time I read it. I got those numbers from a separate article because I didn't see those in the original.

Not necessarily the urban population, but the cities are the focus of the claim. HUD usually characterizes urban at the county level. This doesn't necessarily match with the cities themselves. This is especially true in suburbs. I live in an "urban" county and yet my county doesn't have a large city and I have corn fields around me. It's all because there are a lot of suburbs in the county with two small cities (and a bulk of the murders happen in the smaller, disadvantaged one).

I believe that socioeconomic factors, oversimplified and summarized in my mind as a loss of hope (hope for a decent job, hope for a better life, hope to be respected/valued) are the main drivers. The claim is not that party leadership is responsible for crime, but that the policies can exacerbate it. And I don't see policies looked at here (or anywhere really).

So I believe both sides are wrong. I think it's wrong that Fox is blaming it all on Democrat policies. I think this article is also wrong for implying that policies are not a factor, focusing on only murders and states (crime in general has been a complaint not just murders, and cities were called out not states), no explanation or investigation was performed into why anomalies exists, and some of the wording seems to be misleading (why use Trump instead of governor's who actually set policy, a 90ish% increase in WY... still at the low end under 4, etc). So I feel that both sides are disconnected from what the other side is actually saying, that everyone overpoliticizes stuff like this, and that we focus so much on trying to disprove the other side (which doesn't actually happen if we misunderstand the argument we attack) that we are distracting from proving our own.
I think he more critically missed that using nuclear weapons on yourself is a massive tactical blunder. Just pointing out this isn't anything new.

Calling the uniquely American system of government an "experiment" is neither pejorative or new. Here's an article from 1860 [1].

If that isn't convincing, here is George Washington, January 9, 1790:

Price sorting on Amazon has never worked. Never. It's always been completely useless and I can only imagine that it's useless by design.
> ICBMs have longer range, but how often do you need to strike targets more than 1000km past the front line?

Don't you need to also consider the vast expense countries (okay, mostly just the United States) spend to essentially extend their "front line" well beyond their own borders?
Glad to see Deno listed there!
Sounds like a great way to get Normalization of Deviance[1]. One senior person says "I know how to dispose of this, so it's OK if I don't go through proper channels." Then the next person, following their lead without understanding the implications, says "Joe Senior over there disposed of something scary they found without wasting time going through EHS, so I'll do the same." Maybe it goes fine for a while, but eventually you'll end up with a situation where you've poisoned the groundwater or released dangerous chemicals into the air, because nobody is following the proper channels any more.

This is a complex topic that's hard to write a short comment about. Overall I'd understand conscientious objection to helping the Russian offensive in any way, as well as a long held desire not to do business in a particular country, even if for political reasons. What I don't like is operations that clearly have no connection to the war pulling out from an existing business of serving regular Russians because of mob pressure, like McDonalds for example. They are not harming anyone by staying (except maybe those eating the food ;) - I love McDonalds food, to be clear), it is just pure virtue signaling, and beating up on ordinary people. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Not sure how useful this is for many handmade items; for candles, as they mention, sure.

But - I quilt (not to sell). Quilting is expensive in terms of both supplies (typically 100% cotton fabric, thread, batting, machine, etc.) and especially time.

It's difficult to convince people that the relatively simple (looking) quilt made by a skilled quilter, which 'only' took 20-30 hours to make is worth $500-$1000+.

For out of print books, abebooks.com is much better. Better prices and much larger selection, even though I think it's actually owned by Amazon now.

Zerotier offers more nodes for free just FYI, and as far as I can tell they are pretty allergic to collecting user data.
I agree with the last paragraph (also Indian, also get similar results btw). I don't have the experience of Amazon having a lot of scummy/scammy products, and the reviews for the products I've purchased have generally matched my own experience.

> I guess the difference is Amazon is still trying to capture market share in India while it's already established itself as a Behemoth in the US.

Yeah, and I think that affects this (positively) in two ways: (i) Amazon cares more about being seen as a legitimate player and not looking worse than the competition at this stage, (ii) it takes time for the scammers to find the best ways to game the platform, and they're still figuring it out.
This is how you wind up spending many, many $ remediating a building. And getting those weird questions like, "Inventory says we have 500ml of X, anyone know where it is?"
I created a test account and added an organization. Then sent an invite to my other email. I got the invite email and clicked on the link which brought me back to the same browser/session where I was already logged in as the owner and it gave me a registration error.

The US is a global leader?? It's ranked 55th out of 60 in the latest CCPI (Climate Change Performance Index). It literally isn't the best at any part of Climate Change reduction. The countries that rank the highest? Democratic Socialist countries like Denmark and Sweden. Countries with HEAVILY regulated capitalist systems and markets.

> One thing they didn't mention which I would in their shoes is how powerful $0 is in terms of letting folks kick tires and self-select their solution. (Or not select it, which is fine too.) Especially for dev focused products, a $0.01/month charge is such a barrier compared to a free solution.

I was just thinking about this, I tried a hosted solution with $25 in free credits the other day and liked it, so we're now using it. It's not that we needed the $25, but if I had to talk to finance and get authorization first, we would never have gone with it.

Free trials work, I guess!
Not sure if you've used AWS's R53 but they can do Geolocation and Geoproximity DNS routing.
I recall 'window shopping' on Amazon for certain products where I would take notes of the price, and when I went to buy them a week later they were all hiked. It's as if Amazon knew someone would buy them eventually, so they hiked the prices.

My new strategy (as a result of this) is to avoid window shopping and simply buy things on-the-fly without prior research. I know it sucks Amazon has gamed me, but I get cheaper prices as a result!
At least I wrote a lot of Ruby on Rails and Django (Python) applications back in the day. They always run their own server. I.e. there is no isolation between the server and between the application code.
There's a lot of headroom left in the efficiency of computation, and human development more generally. For example, the marginal cost of R&D is tending towards zero as modeling software enables designers to experiment with millions of potential designs with the same energy that it used to take to develop and test one.
Yes, but no. One of their developer evangelists said it on stage at a conference, but the company wouldn’t confirm it: https://www.pcworld.com/article/394724/why-is-there-a-window...

You don't need to use github, especially when you don't want the public making issues.
It comes down to a combination of factors, but the long and short of things when it comes to content-focused sites specifically is that companies want all of:

- A modern user experience with rich content
- Authoring tools which are easy for non-technical users to understand
- Fast content delivery times
- Low operational costs

The problem is that getting all of them at once requires a bunch of fiddly integration problems. These problems are compounded if you throw e-commerce into the mix as well, in which case your marketing department is gonna want all kinds of analytics to try and suss out what users are doing, when, and why.

So, a lot of the weirdness and complexity has to do with making projects adaptable enough to handle a variety of different use cases while still offering at least a little bit of lift (vs. rolling the entire thing oneself).
They address that in their pricing page (and linked article):

> The Community on GitHub plan can get you up to 25 users, 5 devices per user, and 2 admins for free.
Good. I imagine if it was any other way we’d just have a trillion machine learning models making stupid things for the IP ownership and a round of copyright trolling by their operators.
Well, now they've got a well-written explanation they can link to any time someone asks "so.. how is this free?"

Plus, this is a great blog post on its own merits. Someone like me (who has never used Tailscale) might find this interesting just as an explanation of SaaS economics. That might lead to me actually using Tailscale, or applying for a job there, or whatever.

Even if 1% of users are satisfied by this post... that's a lot of people!

And if it gains them even one enterprise client, I'm sure that's a massive ROI.
They don't pretend the design is independent, they explicitly have studied the design. The implementation is independent, because they have not studied the code. The code is what is protected by copyright. The design would be in the realm of patents.
It would be nice to make the "open source, but closed to contributions/collaborators" model like SQLite and others (lightstream, etc) follow more of a first class citizen on github.

I've been a fairly big ZeroTier fan for a year or more, playing around with it on my own machines. They do some really slick things with public networks and braodcast traffic and those "public network with an open firewall for port X" (their name escapes me), and I like their web interface (vs managing files like Wireguard or Nebula).

They were on the short list for deploying an overlay network for work, and when I started thinking hard about it, I was concerned about availability if their controllers went down, I didn't want to tie our availability to theirs.

So I asked their sales a question about if we could host a backup controller or something to allow our network to operate if their controllers went offline. It took (IIRC) a couple weeks to get a reply and that reply was along the lines of "It's impossible for all our controllers to go down, but if you want to self hose you lose the web UI." I replied linking to a ZeroTier tweet saying "Hosted controllers are coming back up" and asking "What was the event referred to in this tweet", and got only crickets in response.

So I'm planning on going with Nebula, but also keeping an eye on DefinedNetworking.

Ask any capitalist economic adviser and they will have no alternative to perpetual growth.
I think it's recommended to avoid having assets whose disposition depends on the will, to the extent possible. Check that the "rights of survivorship" and beneficiaries for regular brokerage accounts and retirement savings accounts are what you want them to be.

> Besides, I also think monads aren't a very good abstraction to use in most of your day-to-day code, so I'm happy I can avoid code using them.

On the other hand, I think people are stuck in Monads all over the place without even realizing it's a Monad or having the language capabilities to work with them ergonomically.
This is not a definition of economic growth, this is a description of how economists derive an indicator to measure it. It’s like saying that space is defined because you can define hot to get a meter

Parent is right, when you add subjective considerations to what growth is the answer is not obviously “yes”. Or rather, it still is because eventually the universe will be devoid of subjective experience, but that’s a later point and higher bar than the physical limits of our current ecosystem
This seems like a good thing to me, because with "AI-generated works", there's the potential to generate a massive amount of images and essentially try to pre-copyright a lot of content, so you can then sue people who produce legitimate works that somewhat resemble what you've already copyrighted. Something similar could be done with programming code and transformers.

We already have a problem with copyright lasting long after the original author(s) are dead...
This doesn't make sense. You can make a AI generated work and claim it to be Human.

I'm not aware of any US law that states:

"an entity must do business in any given foreign country"

nor any US law that states:

"an entity must not terminate a business in a given foreign country"

Given that, I don't see any issue with a company choosing to exit or suspend business in Russia or the US for that matter.

If you need a half year to train up a developer to a reasonable level of productivity, you have a problem.

If you need to slip or stop development for a half year because you need to train up a whole new team, you have a whole other problem.

If, prior to hiring, you failed to budget for an appropriate market rate reflecting a skilled up staff, you have yet another problem.

Honestly, at what point can we agree the real problem is bad management?
>If every non-nuclear power is suddenly vulnerable to conventional attacks by any rouge state with nukes

There's nothing sudden about it, this has been the reality for decades now. We here in the US were on the other side of the matter in Iraq and arguably Vietnam. This is an old truth.
For pretty much every SaaS app out there with a freemium model users on the free plan aren't "the product" and their info isn't being sold to anyone. Rather, the free plans are considered a business expense to motivate a percentage of the user base to move to paid ones.

So what they are saying makes sense but is very far from revolutionary.
