Does it really make sense? 1.2b people, if they know the govt is trying to control the narrative a vpn is not hard. What about 325m people in the US and other western countries that believe their govt would never lie nor their main stream media so never look for alternative news sources.

Basically all Chinese in cities at least can also speak English. So they get Chinese and English news. Most people in the west cannot read anything other than English.

Who really has the blinkered view? Remember the human brain believes things it hears often even when you know it's bs eg conspiracy theories
Considering it's an exercise protocol from the 1980s, probably not.
>are you objecting to the idea that transphobia is bad?

Well, considering this word can be basically JIT-redefined to mean anything on the fly, I wouldn't say this question is necessarily meaningful without some shared state. What I can say is that I would never like or support making fun of people for things they can't change, if your meaning of 'transphobia' includes that, sure that's bad.

But you know what else is bad? religious authority. The existence of a vague and ill-defined sin that a select class of people can arbitarily expand and contract it's definition to include and exclude anything and anyone they like or dislike, and civil authorities and institutions bending over backward to please that class. Transphobia is the modern day heresy, it's something you can throw at someone without the slightest understanding what they have said and get a mob to descend on them if you get your timing right. Lgbt 'acceptance' groups are strikingly similar to the fanatically religous, down to the particular language used to redirect criticism and pretend they are open to dissent.

>Nobody is suggesting not talking about transphobia.

In order for this to be a real 'talk', and not just a one-directional sermon between identical replicas, you have to allow people who are hostile to the artificially-dominant stance. Those who think transphobia isn't a real problem, or those who think it's a real but exaggerated, and so on and so forth. I'm not seeing any of that on any trans conversation I have ever seen on social media, all I see is an incredibly aritifical and incredibly religious "As We All Know Tran Lives Matter, Much More Than The Rest Of Us Actually", it reminds me of when dictators invite themselves to staged talkshows and pretend that the conversations aren't scripted.

>I'm just pointing out that a lot of the stuff that does get censored is stuff that isn't adding anything meaningful to the conversation

Considering the amount of censoring and manipulation that happens on social media, I think that's not convincing argument for censorship. If you kill 90% of humans you're going to eradicate an aweful lot of diseases, if you imprison 70% of people you're going to catch a lot of criminals, etc... Any strategy where you do the same thing to a significant percentage of the population is going to work more or less like random guessing aka a 50% coin flip, unless you're really unlucky or the population is really skewed. You're better off measuring ratios of where it works and where it doesn't work.

Interesting article but lacking in technical details. Can anyone say technically what has Wing done right that Amazon hasn't?

All players seem to be are picking super open locations (like Canberra) to test and many are looking at the US. I support part of that is having yards as delivery sites and part of that is regulatory. The FAA just made a progressive BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) report[0] suggesting aggressive regulatory changes in favour of drone commerce. These are yet to hit regulation.

It is striking that they both use a quadcopter-cum-plane design trajectory, which would not seem to offer great benefits in denser urban environments.

I work in IC design too, and you are correct that this would be nearly impossible for someone at a foundry to pull off. But it would not be hard at all for a mole on the chip design team to do. And based on what I've seen I don't think it would be very hard for a state actor to get moles into most major chip design firms. Indeed, the measures required to protect against this would be scarier to me than the back doors.

It is even possible that chip designers insert back doors into their chips intentionally (no state-sponsored moles required) so they can covertly sell those capabilities to state actors as an additional revenue source. This might not even be illegal.
That’s why I wrote “IF they delete everything”. You’re saying they shouldn’t delete everything, which I agree with, but that’s not the case I was addressing.
I witnessed zero crimes committed living for a year in the middle of a 30 million person city (Tokyo)
. I also witnessed no yelling, no littering, no fighting in public, no speaking loudly or playing music on public transportation, no public shouting of vulgarity, and no theft. I left my Macbook in a Starbucks unattended for an hour and walked around a mall and it was still there when I came back.

All places and people and cultures are not the same. There are objective measures one can use to see this is true. Take a walk around Manhattan (~11 million) or any other city in the world and try to replicate my results.

Culture matters and has an effect on making better citizens and therefore a better quality of life for everyone. It is not simply a matter of them pretending to have these virtues, they have them and the evidence is reflected both in numbers and ones personal experience if they visit.

Is the seminal example of the brain's adaptability. A more recent example is a teen in the US who was accidentally shot in the head with a spear gun used for fishing. He was awake and talking with his doctors while they initially triaged him- apparently, getting over the abject, visceral reaction of seeing someone with feet of spear sticking out either side of their head was the first difficulty the doctors faced.

I agree. It's also eugenics when pregnant women choose to abort a fetus with Down syndrome.

There aren't good arguments against this kind of "voluntary eugenics" that don't appeal to religion or prescribe a transcendant value to human life.

But look at it from the other direction. What about all the people who follow him, fans and haters alike, who now have to go elsewhere to see what their sitting president has to say. It's unfair to them to do things like that. And honestly it's pretty childish. Just like the struggle session they put you through if they've taken action against your account. They literally make you delete your own tweet. Which doesn't sound like much, but they had to build that functionality when they fully have the power to do it themselves. It's intentionally spiteful.

Have you seen the picture of that brain? Quibbling about the measure of intelligence used was the last thing on my mind because I was amazed the person was alive at all. That said,

> He had a first-class honors degree in mathematics. He presented normally along all social and cognitive axes. He didn’t even realize there was anything wrong with him until he went to the doctor for some unrelated malady, only to be referred to a specialist because his head seemed a bit too large.

Unrelated, but I used to get a fries with salad on top at Uni on the way home from my part time job and I was so happy to have like 10 series of "How it's Made" as I munched.

I am not talking about Skiving heatsinks specifically, but clearly this is a needed tool, so how did it come to be? What is the job title?

Someone in this case, needed heatsinks quick, so how did it go from someone needing lots of heatsinks to an industrial tool?

Was there a guy shaving copper manually, and some (job title) came to the factory and suggested creating a moving table with a blade to optimise the creation?
> make sure you're not on autopilot when taking potentially dangerous actions

When it comes to repetitive or familiar actions, this is physically impossible. If a repeated action is dangerous you cannot use a human interrupting themselves as your only control. It just won't happen.

Overall this is a classic UI design failure. In addition to the "people physically can't take themselves off autopilot" problem, the interface destroys the user's data without providing a way to get it back. It would take relatively little engineering effort to make this reversible.
Nuclear is not suited for peaker plants. It probably never will be. The fuel is a small part of the cost of a nuclear plant. This is why battery tech is key to energy transition. If lithium-sulfur batteries can be produced at scale, we won't have as much of an issue with the intermittent nature of solar and wind.

That's not true at all. In theory, a perfect market will self-regulate. No one buys or sells from scammers and they are naturally outcompeted from the marketplace. However, in real world, markets aren't perfect and that's why regulation is needed, but it's up to debate. It can be argued that the market would always find a way to weed out scammers even without regulation. Over-regulation is also sub-optimal.

You are correct on the economics of ships to missiles and that those ships have anti-missile systems but being close to land can put you at a disadvantage due to radar having a certain range it can operate at. Low flying projectiles may be harder to track due to these limitations and the Ukrainians have been very resourceful with the weapons they do have and have used them in ways that even western militaries were surprised with.

I'm guessing here but I think it might have been more a show of force by putting that cruiser there as well as an attempt at dissuading other countries from entering the area.

To be clear I am arm-chairing here and would love to know more on the operational capabilities of radar on ships.

Well, Affric you seem to have done something, so here is the code:

tell application "Finder"
set myWin to window 1
set thePath to (POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
set thePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
tell application "Terminal"
activate
tell window 1
do script "cd " & thePath
end tell
end tell
end tell

You use it to create an application and then change the icon to something appropriate.
Here in China I realised if you want more than 4 colors or so, multicolour pens are also Japanese imports only. But they're too fat to be useful, IMHO. It's also hard to source ballpoint pens in non red-blue-black colours, for no apparent reason. I guess I'm oddball for liking colour contrast in my notes. The nicest pen I ever bought was machined out of Laotian tropical hardwood but it was a traditional calligraphic pen with the nib and ink management issues. For modern writing implements... you can't beat a fullscreen terminal, vim and a Cherry (German design, China fabrication I guess). https://www.cherry-world.com/
Another commenter suggested having to type the number of stars you’d be forfeiting instead of the repo name. Kind of a neat idea I think.
I am sure you have also totted up all the accidents that occurred mining, refining, or transporting uranium. And, everybody poisoned by runoff from mine tailings leaching into their water supply. (Some American Indian tribes, for example, have lawsuits on over that.) And, deaths in construction accidents during plant construction, and in transporting the thousands of tons of concrete and steel. And, mining the limestone, manufacturing the concrete, and mining and making the steel.

Oh, you haven't? My mistake.

If only there was some sort of "user network" which could just be some sort of distributed posting service where a rotating group of companies would host the posts (more than one host for both fault tolerance and avoiding a single point vulnerability). People could post to discussion groups about the news (or "newsgroups" for short). Perhaps it would be so attractive that ISPs would advertise access to portions of this posting service and provide support for its hosting.

Something like that seems like it would be simple enough we could have had it decades ago. If only someone had thought of it then...
Not sure what a 'slanging match' might entail, but thank you for the reply all the same.

Laws are indeed "there for a reason".. Of course, "there" refers to the nation in which they are promulgated..

The UN charter is a bit lacking in the force of law department, as has been demonstrated all too often..

Until we grow up beyond the tiresome, mindless flag waving of all the parochial nationalisms, we are going to have to sort out just how "people will make up their own rules." as you said..

To me, this is precisely the most interesting - and most important - part of human organization at scale, which, not coincidentally, is also the only way we will be able to address climate change (assuming of course that we are not addressing nuclear winter first) ..

Now, I don't want to be a bore, so I will conclude here and await your response, if you feel inclined to continue in the vein of your threads as I referenced previously or in the more abstract future orientation as I am introducing here..

Thanks again for the reply.

I'm positive you've put more thought into this pair of comments than I ever did in my life about this issue of pronouns. Don't you think it's at least a bit weird that you're so obsessed and irate about such a minor detail?

Also, it's very funny that you're so taken up in arms against the world-ending catastrophe of people writing "they/them" in their twitter bios, yet see no issue with a multi-hundred-billionaire dictating what is and isn't allowed on a major internet platform (by all means wealth inequality is one of the major problems of the modern age).

EDIT: About the singular "they" thing: that whole paragraph is hilarious (quantum what?) but it's a pet peeve of mine to correct those misconceptions. Your sentence is grammatically incorrect, even when the function is singular, the agreement in number is still plural, e.g. "someone wrote their name here" -> "they have written their name", not "they has written their name".

Plus, singular they has been attested since the 14th century. Plural they...? Since the 13th.

Depends on what tech comes out. If lithium-sulfur batteries and perovskite solar cells go into mass production I think nuclear will be one of the smaller contributors. Nuclear works best where there's limited hydroelectric, wind, and solar but minimal chance of earthquakes.
"Sure, the web used to be a fun place for tinkerers. But the cat's out of the bag and we cannot put it back inside.

"Going luddite is never a good solution."

Making the web more fun for tinkerers is "going luddite"?

I first used the web in 1993. I do not remember it being more "fun". Seems like there is far more "tinkering" going on today, namely by "web developers" who try to keep themselves entertained while pledging loyalty to surveillance and advertising.

Reducing the amount of tinkering with respect to the "web development" would actually improve the web, at least for this user. Less "fixing" and "replacing" of things that work well enough.
I pay it, because for my use-cases it was the only way to get more than 100mbps (which was more like 75mbps at any regular time of day) download without giving up my 50mbps upload.

Now at least I can play my video games while my partner watches 4K shows on our TV.

Interestingly, moving from 100mbps to 1000mbps has given me a 5ms lower ping: 31ms to 24-25ms with a decrease in jitter of 5ms too, in Valorant -- this is to the exact same server from the physical same PC. I'm guessing even on the same damned cable, the 1000mbps customers get some kind of routing priority or something.
Different people have different prices they're willing to pay for a product. That's the theory behind a demand curve. And in reality, if they raise the price to $1.29 or $1.49, there will still be people buying it. If the unit cost of Arizona tea ever went above the unit price, it simply would not make sense to continue manufacturing the product and selling it at that price, outside of contractual obligations.

Loss leaders are a different analysis, and in order for that to work, Arizona would have to convince all retailers to sell the product at a loss; Costco's business is not selling hot dogs or rotisserie chicken, and that's why they can afford a loss on those. Even these, they still put in a lot of work to keep costs low (e.g., making the hot dogs themselves instead of buying from Hebrew National), so the loss in recent years has been either small, or they break even. But obviously even this isn't something that could be kept up forever, given long run trends in inflation; the purchasing power of a dollar was ten times greater in 1950, and if in 2090 they keep selling hot dogs for $1.50 when a comparable meal costs $15, it might make sense to have a Costco membership just for hot dogs and rotisserie chickens (unless they set the membership cost so high that it's unrealistic to recoup the cost in a year without, e.g., eating there every single day), and at that point their loss leader just becomes a loss.

One final note I'll make is that average hourly earnings over the last couple decades have outpaced the rise in prices for most goods, even as the price of services outpace average hourly earnings; intuitively, the former should make sense, since with improved technology, the same good requires less labour to make. So food has gotten cheaper in real terms over the last few decades, as has shipping, while the opposite effect happens with services because of Baumol's cost disease. Because of this, even with inflation, more efficient products has somewhat blunted the impact on these manufacturers' costs, even though they too will one day have to increase their prices as well.
Although sometimes it throws up an obscure clip with maybe 100k-400k views, something random but strangely delightful that it is funneling attention to. And everyone in the comments is new to it, saying “the algorithm brought me here”. I’ve been fascinated by it. They’re almost like reverent worshippers, “all hail the algorithm”. It’s never content that’s heavily curated, like a personality’s page. It’s always like “summer 2004 raccoon eating a dorito”. It brings us together for this brief moment, guides us like a shepherd for the sheep. Like a God, we have little idea of how or why it does what it does (shows us one piece of content or another). I really enjoy those moments.
