The real question here is not whether one can design a market that prevents bad behavior, but whether any of the major players will ever bother using it. If the “little guy” is always on the losing end of market shenanigans, then market makers will never have an incentive to move their liquidity to the “fair” market.
Well an ADCAP can do as much as 55 kts, which is probably the fastest conventional torps go, and you'd definitely buy more time to deploy countermeasures and decoys.

A Shkval can go as fast as a missile, but it can't turn very well so you might be able to dodge it this way.

Sure it's not a good outlook in any case, but it's better than sitting there waiting to be hit.
I have plenty of reasons to move away from Windows, and also plenty of reasons to stay. :) But I think it's overall a net-negative that there is no simple way to use LuaRocks on Windows. I don't believe in gatekeeping, especially when so many programmers still begin their journey on Windows.
Nuclear or chemical fallout that drifts into NATO countries could potentially warrant a response.

> on the political level, the Western refusal to implement the Minsk Agreements;
and operationally, the continuous and repeated attacks on the civilian population of the Donbass over the past years and the dramatic increase in late February 2022.

To think that Ukraine was shelling Donbass and "provoking" after what we seen in the last 50 days is truly a mental distortion.
I would argue that believing in one conspiracy theory makes you much more susceptible to others, because they all require a flawed type of logic. Conspiracy theorists overlook large bodies of evidence and laser-focus on tiny contradictions and rely on their own intuition over research or listening to other experts.

> Warships don't just suddenly catch fire

Warships, just like everything else, do suddenly catch fire from time to time. Carelessness, negligence, sabotage, or bad luck could cause a fire that would sink a ship. Especially during a war, when munitions are being handled under pressure.

Not the most likely cause, but shit does happen.

BTW, By sabotage I don't mean some mustache twirling spy, but something more mundane, a disgruntled sailor, or a homesick one that wants to return to base as soon as possible.

Why? Wouldn't two destroyers be more flexible and also harder to hit than one big ship?
Yes, truly, unless you have been raised by rabid wolves or alone in the void of space, you are not self made.

Totally fair, but this doesn't clarify why a company like Fast needed to exist. It seems the existing payment processors are able to add this feature rather easily, and I don't see how a new player would be able to get over the integration hurdle to supplant PayPay/Stripe/AmazonPay/etc.

Being anti-nuclear is deeply engrained in the DNA of Germany's green party. Even more so than climate change. In fact, when the anti-nuclear movement started, climate change wasn't even a topic.

In other words, the only thing that needs to happen is the German green party to admit a mistake in fighting nuclear power harder than fossile fuels...

I thought prepaid credit cards were literally where you have to pre-pay: charge it with money. They're not accepted because of course if you load up exactly the 200 euros for the car rental and then drive the thing off a cliff, there is no point having your card on file to charge because it'll be empty. At least that's what I've heard, I'm no payment lawyer. At any rate also in OP the error says that the reason for the rejection might be that they tried to use a prepaid card.

Having a collateral like you describe sounds like a much better system than collecting data on entire countries' worth of people and make guesses about the odds they'll go bankrupt based on some super secret formula before you give them monthly loans they never knew they wanted.

Babylon fell in a single hour when the Euphrates river was diverted and the Persians marched right in and slaughtered all the princes drunk from an all night wine kegger. The city was completely self contained, it had an infinite amount of water but the gate to that water did not go to the floor of the river. All the watchmen were asleep. That very night the hand of God wrote on the wall:

And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 ¶In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

There have been 3 Babylons, proto Babylon: the people of Babel, the neo Babylonian Empire, most whose most famous king was Nebuchadnezzar and Mystery Babylon, which will also fall in an hour like the other two. Like the other two, the third will never be inhabited again.

> So it looks like they're larger than destroyers but have a similar function.

The Ticonderoga class cruisers are basically the same size as the Arleigh Burke destroyers (smaller than the Flight III, larger than earlier ones) and much smaller than the Zumwalt-class destroyers.

There's a degree of what amounts to fashion in the naming, and “cruiser“ is out of fashion for newer ships.

Down from a jury verdict of $136.9m, to be clear, on grounds that the initial judgment was excessive.

Not sure I agree with that conclusion and would prefer to see companies permitting systemic racism absolutely thrashed in civil court not only to make an example but to make the cost of garbage treatment of workers higher than the cost of changing course. 15 million, even once per year, isn't a disincentive because it easily costs more than that to change ways of working at any company.
By greater, I didn't mean in softer, moral terms, but instead that the sets of problems and cognitive tools for approaching problems for both has some overlap, but one isn't a pure subset of the other. Trying (but failing apparently) to drive home my point that CS wasn't a prerequisite for programming for human civilization, therefore historical examples of programming are ultimately orthogonal to how old of a field CS itself is.

The solution is marginal sales taxes.

It would require tracking everyone’s expenses on a federal, or even global level. But then you can really redistribute wealth based on how “richly” someone is living. And also tax them proportionate to their consumption, which kills two birds with one stone. And you don’t have to worry about borrowing against assets to sidestep income taxes.

First $50k you spend is at x% sales tax, next $50k is at x+y%, and so on.

>By third party estimates, the civillian casualties in the Russian invasion are about two to three orders of magnitude higher than the civilian casualties in Donbass prior to the invasion. This is like slaughtering an entire village because it contains a single murderer. There is absolutely zero ambiguity about where the moral high ground is here.

This does not even include the fact that any civilian casualties in Donbass were either incidents when counterfiring to russian and separatist shelling, or russian provocations.

We can even see this right now in the war: Russia just randomly shells apartment blocks with Grads, while UA only targets real military targets on Russian soil, like Belgorod fuel depots or Taganrog airfield. Russian propaganda doesn't even try to claim that, at least yet.
Yeah the last paragraph is what I was thinking when I asked.

For sure Netflix doesn’t belong. Meta doesn’t either as of end of 2021 if it’s also about growth alongside influential. Tesla, Nvidia slide in perfectly.

Then there’s a sizable tail end of $100B+ companies and many under $75B with growth potential. AMD, PayPal, Shopify, Stripe, for $100B ones. Square, Atlassian, Datadog, Cloudflare, some cybersecurity firms like Crowdstrike, Okta, would fit in too. These are too small right now though.
That said, if anyone decides to mount a recovery or salvage mission of any kind, it may be worth upgrading that "no" to a soft "maybe".

As far as I know, nobody has tried to retrieve conventional munitions from a shipwreck, and reasonably enough - they're not dangerous enough to be worth the trouble. Nations will go after lost nuclear warheads, though; indeed, Bayesian search theory saw significant development and interest to serve that purpose [1], and the CIA's been known to go to Bond-movie levels of trouble to the same end [2].

Granted, these were both First Cold War projects, but it seems like there's some degree of possibility that this use of "First Cold War" may eventually prove not to have been a somewhat silly joke, so...

Have you heard of the church? We've had authority figures spreading lies for personal gain for millennia.
Generally my mentality. This is a European war in Europe's back yard. CNN and Fox (with the exception of Carlson) are in lockstep, Google's demonetizing content that's dismissive of, or opposed to Ukraine.

Ukraine is the victim here, not the aggressor. I hope they win, I doubt they will.

But domestically, the rhetoric around the war has infuriated me.

A redneck shows up to a domestic political rally with his tacky Confederate flag, and everyone involved is a bigot, a fascist, or a potential domestic terrorist.

A country constitutionally bans same sex relationships, turns trans refugees fleeing the conflict away at the border because they're 'actually' men, supports the efforts of a pseudo-autonomous militia whose ~10k soldiers walk around wearing sonnenrads, and its only a tiny minority that we should overlook. Facebook even made an exception for their policy on supporting them.

I'm fine with nuance. It's important. But why is it only a thing when it means we might get to spill American blood in a police action for someone else's benefit?

I'm still disgusted that the US tolerated afghan allies who indulged in bacha bazi. Now people on my facebook feed and in the news who spent the last six years hyperventilating about neonazis and demanding restrictions on speech to stop them are telling me that supporting ethnonationalist militias is the price of democracy in Europe.

The EU is rich. This is their neighborhood. I've heard plenty of lectures from EU nationals that the US needs to stop enforcing its will on the rest of the world. If they want US arms in Ukraine, buy them from us.

I don't want American boots on the ground, and I'm leery of providing military aid with tax money that could be better used serving the people who paid it for a war that likely won't end in a win.
Very common.. US Ticonderoga class cruisers were first commissioned in 1983, so they're all ~40 years old. We're in the process of decommissioning some of them now, but many will likely still be sailing in 2040. Often times older ships get retrofit with the latest defense/offense capabilities and new propulsion if there's something they'd benefit from.

Ohio and Los Angeles class submarines were mostly built in the 1980s as well and many / most (?) are still active.

no, it's because it actually became the new public commons. That's where most gets their news, meet people, organise events, find jobs, etc. Politicians and organisations are now using it as their main mean of communication.

QED?
Let's pretend this is real and a magic box that sits in a corner and outputs 5 kW of power (with ignorable fuel cost), and lasts 10 years.

First of all, they can simply put it in a corner and sell the power. Wholesale generation prices vary but around 5 ct/kWh is a good approximation. That would be 25 cents per hour, $6/day, ~2.2k per year. They could probably sell it for at least $20k.

But this can replace grid power. So now they can sell it at least for the price of a solar + battery setup, plus coolness factor surcharge, plus the fact that you can rely on it year-round unlike solar, so you don't need a grid connection at all. Another application where they can probably make at least $20k but probably more from each unit.

Now, let's go further. Electric cars. You'd probably need multiple units and a small battery for peak power demand, but let's ask this way... how much extra do you think people would pay for a truck that magically refuels itself, for free? I'd totally see two of those being a $50-100k upgrade for electric cars. Or a truck that doesn't need batteries and powers your house when parked.

That's just the absolute no-brainer mass market applications. Now imagine anything that is remote or has other difficulties in getting power. Cell towers, scientific or military outposts, spaceships...
Hahahaha! This is amazing.

Tidying up the JAX script, I find that it runs in ~15 seconds on my laptop CPU. Likewise, fixing the crash error in the blog post (UndefVarError: alloc_threaded_grad not defined) then I find that the Julia implementation also runs in ~15 seconds on my laptop CPU.

So, 1x faster than JAX?

Clearly we're getting very different results here, so (a) I'd like to get to the bottom of this, but (b) perhaps we should be more cautious about making performance claims.

Their current war is based on the propaganda of Russian superiority over Ukrainians, military superiority specifically since Russians built their whole modern ideology on winning WWII. Admitting that Ukrainians are capable of anything is therefore undercutting this foundational national idea.
Russia recently attacked a nuclear power plant not that far from Germany, which happened to survive without serious issue. So, this isn’t meaningless speculation even if you personally don’t view it as a major issue.

In the end designing a nuclear power plant to survive shelling might not mitigate that much risk, but it is something being seriously considered in many circles.
I agree so much. I would love to see next Nuremberg with Putin and George Bush.
Cause Navy guns don't scale that way.

Destroyers are around 8000 tons. Cruisers are around 10,000 tons.

You need 16,000 tons of metal to make 2x Destroyers. You only need 10,000 tons of metal to make 1x Cruiser.

Your crew sizes are also merged together with the larger-ships, meaning you need fewer sailors to perform the same amount of firepower. Two Destroyers would have a lot of redundant jobs compared to one Cruiser.

It isn't economics 101, though. It might be Austrian economics 101, but that's been pretty squarely rejected for being too simplistic a model.

The reality is everyone agrees: if you increase the money supply beyond demand for money, inflation will result. However, the demand for money is extremely difficult to model and is incredibly unpredictable. There's demand for US dollars all over the world, from dollarized economies like Venezuela and El Salvador and Panama - to European and Asian bond buyers - to unusual dollar demand curves at home, such as the sudden fear that gripped the economy during COVID that caused everyone to stuff dollars into their mattresses.

The model is far more complex than you're making it out to be.
