>I think people vastly underestimate the importance of infantry support

Do you now what's funny? Even RTS videogames like the Command and Conquer series or Star-Craft made this point clear early in our childhoods.

Tanks will be eaten alive by hoards of cheap disposable units, so you always had to support them with anti-infantry units if you wanted them to be useful in battle.
There is no "general western media" in this era, because coverage is no longer centralized. There are dominant ideologies, which the "western media" reflects because the population has that bias already.

You can stare at CNN or MSNBC and see a bias, of course. They largely repeat Pentagon or White House talking points. But that is no longer where people get the bulk of their information.

Spend 20 minutes clicking the "wrong" links on YouTube and you'll get an entirely different bias. It should be obvious from the last two election cycles that people don't get their "news" from cable news anymore. They're deep in the bowels of social media and whoever manipulates that best. For better or for worse.

Sorry, it's you who comes across as ignorant. And elitist and smarmy. Talking about "the west" as if there's one block, when what we actually have is a highly divided society... Except there's one thing that's actually uniting us right now and that's almost universal disgust at Russian actions in Ukraine

EDIT: To add: is there a society-wide bias highlighting the ineptness and weakness of the Russian military? Probably inaccurately? Yes, quite likely, and it's probably dominant across the whole west. But why? Is it because propaganda? No, it's because we hope and wish this to be the case. I'm perfectly willing to admit that Russia is probably stronger and will "win" but goddamn it if I don't want to boost the narrative otherwise because I want them to lose so bad it hurts.

Of course it is a bad thing. It is treated as a homogenous blob, an “other”.
If real this seems like a product that would be, at best, 'As Seen on TV'. The last line of the article makes it seem entirely satire though. "Miyashita’s lab ... has also invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavours of various foods."
Yup drone vs drone seems like the future.
the irony is - if you stick to software of the time, you live in GNOME LTS land - it's pretty frictionless and stable. my experience is the bad times start rolling in as soon as you need to compile - sway for example - you need a newer version of meson than is on ubuntu LTS, and there's a tight wayland dependency too. its the shiny new software (often the ones posted on hn...) that end up needing the most up to date build dependencies.

i agree - it's a failing of the pkg management and devs. but also - the hardware developers. if you rely on prop blobs - docker is a way to liberate yourself somewhat from this - you dont need to have a well maintained upstream
What if we don't actually hear about assassinations of people making actual decisions or their relatives? Like most people still believe Anders Breivik killed a bunch of random kids on the island, while in fact, many of them were children of prominent politicians
Stress test currently means you need to qualify at 5-6% if you have 20% down.

If you are putting less than 20% then the stress test is even higher.

I doubt we will see 5-6% interest rates in the next 5 years.
True, but to a limited extent.

Recent successess of SpaceX, RocketLab etc. seem to have reinvigorated interest of the young engineering generation in space exploration to a degree unseen in the 1990s. Working on a Mars rocket is much cooler than working on user tracking systems in some giant tech corporation.

Watching something like Starship really launching from the Earth beats hundreds of hours of video games squarely.
Every dependency is a potential point of failure, and a security risk. It requires you to trust every dependency entirely. This could be problematic for tools like this, that run very high permission operations.

Why is this discussion full of comments which sound like RIAA sponsored shills? The RIAA will be creaming in their pants when they read comments like yours.

People should feel entitled to do whatever they can get away with. Why, you ask? Well read on..

The record labels are extremely greedy, and Spotify et. al. are merely a thin proxy wrapper in front of them. Oh yeah, and Spotify barely pays the artists anything at all. So if you "pay" for Spotify, the degree to which you're providing support to the musicians you love so much is questionable. At least with Deezer, they allocate more of the revenue to actually go back to the artists.

Back to the point, Spotify and Deezer aren't looking out for me or you. Downloading is an appealing alternative to hoping songs don't disappear when licenses change for no discernable reason.

Life is short, I advocate for individuals to do what they want when it doesn't measurably harm anyone else. Going into the grave knowing I committed few or no music license violations is such a low value goal, how do people not realize this?

Nowadays there isn't a shortage of music, at all. Especially not due to folks downloading songs, in fact this makes the artists even more popular. They should be grateful for getting popular enough to warrant any form of piracy. Lots of music creators would love to have this "problem".

I will admit that I don't follow him closely enough to know his stance on either Balkans or Cambodia. If you can share any sources, I would not mind learning a little more.

That said, I accept your argument that credibility is relevant. Not to search very far, if we accept him as some sort of authority on geopolitical matters, is he wrong, say, about US-Iraq relationship? My point is that opinions should not be automatically dismissed or automatically accepted. It should be based on the merits of the argument. And Chomsky can present an interesting argument based on what I heard.

Evangelists, Colonialist, Colonial apologists & Leftists have a perverse incentive in theorising & establishing a framework linking caste to Indians & Hindus along with exaggerations and hiding equally bad or worse examples from Europe.

It would only be fair to look at the opposing views and reject or reevaluate theories that are on thin ice.

Jati & Varna are two separate ideas, "Indian caste system" is an import and a framework trying to combine the two.

Why do we keep using the word "caste", when we talk about Jati. A lot of Jatis do not see themselves as lower & upper and there are thousands of Jatis so no one is carrying around a dictionary to see where they stand.

People rarely talk ever about "their" varna and the vast majority do not see themselves or their jati falling into a specific varna.

70% of the temples in Tamil Nadu have priests from the Jati that built the temple and non-brahmins, there falls the idea "Brahmins" exclusively being the priestly class.
I wouldn't say you can destroy your identity completely. Most of it will always remain as the foundation for what you build.
This sort of teleological and "ranked" view where what we ourselves consider "most developed" we assume must also be "last" or "have undergone more evolution" reminds me of our some of our views of human social patterns too.

Like thinking a "culture" that some people have labelled/categorized as "hunter gatherer" therefore somehow is "less developed" or even has "less history" than other social groupings, and reveals the way humans were a long time ago -- whereas in fact any human culture on the planet at the same time has the same amount of history and development behind them.

Some of this is covered in Graeber and Wengrow's recent _The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity_.

We really want to impute a direction to changes over time (whether biological or social); to think that the changes always go in the same direction; that it's a direction of "better"; that the things we currently value as 'better' are that directional 'better'; and that therefore anything we think is 'not as good' is somehow "earlier" or "less developed". None of those are accurate ways to understand actual historical changes over time, whether biological/evolutionary or social or anything else really.
I didn't read the story but from the comments it is actually about the decline in local news.

IMO, the decline in local news started when the local channels started sending local reporters to cover national news stories: a hurricane in FL, a shooting in Boston, or whatever. Those stories are already covered on national news; why would I want to hear about them when watching local news?
Odd. One uses the data structures that are necessary to solve the problem. In C, can typedef things to make them clearer but there’s stars underneath. In chemistry,

Atomic symbol - char *,
List of elements in a molecule - char **,
List of elements in a list of molecules - char ***

But then, is it char*** p or char ***p? Do you think of what it represents or how it is referenced?

Bloody stars can’t easily be represented which is odd in a website dedicated to coders.

I disagree. IMO, blind bidding is suppressing prices not inflating them.

Here’s why, as someone who has been on the ground and lost a few offers because we didn’t want to overbid. After the sold price was released, on multiple occasions we thought “damn! we’d have our that and $25K on top to get it had we known”.

In a blind bidding system, you bid what you think the house is worth. In an open bidding system you start to bud as much as you are able to afford.
can't you just use soundflower with some scripting to capture the audio directly at the uncompressed audio card level? There is NO way for spotify to block that.
That “damn we would have paid X more” is exactly what it’s designed to encourage - we’re not good at calculating large numbers so once you’ve “made the decision” to pay $500k making a decision to pay $50k more is relatively easy (and seems like nothing).

In a normal Dutch auction style situation you’ll pay $1 more than the second highest bidder, which is a bit more fair.

In Europe, the GDPR would protect that type of data, in principle. That is, even if you provided your profile picture to Linked In and made it public, this does not entitle a third party to copy that picture and use it for other purposes (though a Linked-In 3rd party client would still be ok). It's still your data, even if you agreed to share it with Linked-In.

The Javelin can kill tanks from what distance, up to four kilometers? (Officially, less so, but the Ukrainians seem to be pulling off more distant hits than what the vendor documentation says.)

No realistic amount of infantry support can shield you against weapons with such a huge range. An entire army could, but that is obviously too much.
The usefulness of long range missiles depends on the rules of engagement.

If the F-35 will be allowed to shoot targets over the horizon based only on instruments, it will most probably work as intended.

If visual confirmation will be required, it will be a boondoggle.
Only works against an unsophisticated enemy that has no MANPADS. Helicopters are way more vulnerable than tanks.
Javelins and comparable weapons are almost 30 years old at this point, it's not some new emerging threat by any means.

In a partial equilibrium I could see this, due to management company inefficiencies to scale for small clients versus massive corporate clients. But it would likely be offset by general equilibrium factors pushing down housing prices (demand limiting) which translates to decreased rental pricing (as well as potential for limiting rental supply).

The saying goes, Russian tanks depend on an auto Loader. American tanks depend on a 19 year old with a strong right arm.
If the listener doesn't know the "true" information, it is sufficient if the watermarked version sounds plausibly like a real sound. I think it's too strong to require the watermark to be completely inaudible. It is sufficient if given two recordings of unknown sounds a listener can't tell which one is watermarked and which one isn't.

I guess my dumb question is: with a Ukraine-style conflict where there’s a ton of ATGMs floating around, do even properly-supported tanks actually provide net value or do they just soak up friendly infantry resources that could be devoted to other things? The range on modern ATGMs is huge, measured in KMs - seems like you’d need a ton of infantry support to keep from getting picked off. If your enemy doesn’t have ATGMs, sure, a tank can provide a lot of value - but it seems like a safe assumption that a modern adversary will have them. Does the value equation still work?
The tank isn't dead because armies still need the capabilities the tank gives them. You need a long range direct fire weapon, capable of engaging armoured targets and infantry (canister or airburst rounds), with rapid engagement of multiple targets, low time to target, rapid reloads and follow up shots, and high survivability.

Lighter wheeled gun armed vehicles can be cheaper, but they don't have the survivability. They also can't go everywhere a tracked tank can go, such as jungle busting or just driving right through many kinds of buildings or cover. Missile have much longer flight times to target than gun rounds. A tank can move into position, fire, destroy it's target and be back in cover before a missile gets anywhere near it's target. The missiles are also vastly more expensive than tank rounds.

Yes tanks are vulnerable when not properly integrated with air support, artillery and infantry. They're still a lot more survivable than pretty much anything else that can provide the same capabilities though. One tank in the second Gulf War shrugged off 14 RPG hits, and overall tanks in that conflict amply proved their value, when used effectively.
User testing is important here. Take it with a grain of salt. Players are often children who want chocolate for dinner. There's no substitute for testing and feedback.

interesting idea.. definitely solves a major pain point
The cost from the moon to earth orbit isn't really the issue.

The problem is that to do mining you need a huge industrial base. Mining starts with prospecting. Then you need to develop the resource. You need to refine the resource at least a little. Then you need to mine that resources. Then you need to transport those resources to wherever your cheap launch option is. And then you need to launch it.

Building up such an industrial base on moon is incredibly difficult and would for sure require a massive Starship like rocket at the very minimum.

> Ultimately we need to move our heavy industry off-earth to save our planet's biosphere. In a hundred years when there is a vibrant interplanetary economy, its possible we could eliminate toxic heavy industry on Earth entirely.

Ok, in 100 years, but predicting that far ahead is pretty much useless. My point is that for any foreseeable future launching resource from earth is far more practical.

And from a money perspective it might never make sense, specially from the moon.

If its about the environment, then maybe but then you might capture asteroids instead.
If you read my comment carefully that is exactly what I said..
In that case copy-pasting is the way, and macros make the copy-pasting much less onerous. This could be messy if there are a lot of types, but I have yet to see a program where having auto-growing vectors of many different types was absolutely essential.
