imho the failures observed caused by manpad in the ukrane theatre were directly attributable to an almost comically poor systems integration on the part of the aggressor and an unwillingness to commit longer range artillery and missile strikes to soften what were hardened infantry targets equipped with sixth generation anti-air and anti-tank weaponry.
This is a deeply stupid comment when talking to a war survivor.

Is it really though? There are some really good active protection systems like Israel's TROPHY which do a pretty good job taking out incoming sabot style (tank shell, javelin, RPG) warheads. The modern incarnation[1] (M1A2 SEPv2) of the US Abrams tanks all have it

Storage is a solved problem. The issue is transportation. With the US being as big as it is...it's a very unique challenge.
> I'm quite sure they assessed the risks before engaging.

I think it's pretty clear they didn't. They went in poorly prepared, many soldiers thought they were on exercise and had no idea what they were even doing in Ukraine, and recently it turned out a lot of Russian soldiers have radiation poisoning because they were digging trenches in radioactive soil at Chernobyl, because they'd never even heard of the Chernobyl disaster.

It appears Putin has been thoroughly misinformed by his intelligence service, people lie to their superiors because they don't date to deliver bad news, and Russian supplies have been crippled by corruption.
I believe it works well with the browser version now (as it uses the correct APIs) but afaik browser zoom doesn’t have feature parity with the desktop one?

So fair enough for not trying it out just yet, hopefully soon we can just easily say that it works splendidly!
Sounds like I have reading to do! I guess I really just take exception with the claim that the currently living are any more (or less) literal than our (distant) ancestors. For instance: my wife wants to get two, adjacent, cemetary plots so that we can "be together after we die, and our kids can visit us easily." I want to be mulched. Where I'm living, now, the number of Biblical literalists isn't a "quirky few" its the bulk of the people; these aren't hicks, either: this is one if the wealthier exurbs in the country.

I would have thought it's easy to distinguish when you download a 250MB video in 10 seconds without opening the YouTube client, so I'm always surprised those clients work.
Indeed! It's amazing how often people just simply don't care.

Trader Joe's, for instance, makes signs for their produce with crazy prices. Five bananas for a penny! Yes, you read that right! They either don't understand decimal places, or they don't realize that it's not legal to advertise incorrect prices.

Their signs clearly say .19¢. I pointed it out to them, and they looked at me like I'm crazy.

Perhaps they'll care when I insist they sell them to me for that price, then complain to the county's Office of Consumer Affairs if they don't.
I agree. But Google's revenue is also not small. I'm optimistic they can afford to.
This. The only real solution is to implement policies that make housing prices not appreciate so it's not tempting as an investment in the first place.

Current attempts to fix the problem are doomed to failure because they are trying to avoid 1) significantly increasing the supply of housing and 2) decreasing the value of houses for people who already own them, but those are the things that are actually causing the problem.

Trying to block foreign investors is just a bandaid and it will make no difference. Housing needs to be a depreciating asset.
That's become markedly less so in the last two year. Alberta and Saskatchewan, yes, were cheap because oil prices were so depressed for the last 7-8 years. But the rest of the country, even economically beat down areas like the maritimes, have risen drastically. Rural Ontario has skyrocketed. Forget about anywhere in BC. Nova Scotia prices have almost doubled.

There is net migration out of Toronto and Vancouver. Prices have risen highest in formerly depressed areas like Hamilton, etc.
The largest exporter of arms to Ukraine at this point in time is likely Russia.

I fail to see how this isn't a disaster.

The Ukrainian tank divisions are likely better equipped than they where when the war started.

Also complexity of american tax code didn't come because of turbotax/intuit. Do you really think we have stuff like credits for home improvements, credits for student loan payments ect are in tax code because of intuit?

There are politicians right now trying to cram in more and more tax code because those incentives are incredible popular with American public. All this is not because of intuit.

They've unambiguously withdrawn from Kyiv, leaving behind a lot of dead as well as destroyed vehicles.

I'd love to see what the numbers are when you follow the capital and not just 'ownership'. There's a lot of ways around this ban.

I don't think it's a boogieman. But I also don't think it will change much when these cities are primarily 2-story houses.

If this stops some amount of cash offers 20+% over asking by foreign investors who have no intention of living in it - great. There's a hundred factors affecting this real estate crisis, it might need a hundred solutions.

> Perhaps they'll care when I insist they sell them to me for that price, then complain to the county's Office of Consumer Affairs if they don't.

Did you actually do either of these things?
A tank can engage at similar distances.
Yep. For the CIA or NSA or whomever quashing that story is a good short-term solution (protecting your spy IP - spy P?) and also medium-term (harming Bloomberg's reputation), but the longer term side-effects (harming media's reputation in general) probably ended up doing far greater harm to the US. Trust is so easy to destroy, and takes a very long time to build up again.
The survivability property is the one being questioned right now. If you can attack a tank from 5 clicks away with a high probability of success then air support and infantry have to cover a really wide perimeter inviting the question if the resources spent on the tank can give better capabilities in other form.
You say that, but the fact you didn't bid $25k+ initially tells us otherwise, no?

Here in DC metro, people are massively over-bidding (relative to list price) because they've already bid/lost 5-10 homes in the last few months. So, they go in strong, $100-$150k over on a $600k list price isn't uncommon right now.
And if they were Jesus certainly would have stepped in to stop it.

Language is an imperfect model for representing ideas. Million is close to billion, linguistically. Certainly not off by a power of 1000 in the space of language. I’m surprised the author is just coming to this realization.
> But the officials can’t change the fact that there is only so much land to go around and a disproportionate number of people strongly desire a detached house.

That may be true, but the housing cost crisis extends beyond detached houses. We need more apartments, condos, townhouses, etc. Not just nice detached houses. Prices should get lower in all of those categories. Even condos in towers have grown much, much more expensive.

> You could potentially tear down some mansions in rich neighborhoods to build two or three houses and that might help slightly at the margins.

Most of the land in Toronto is tied up with single family detached housing. Why not replace some of these with small apartment buildings, brownstones, and townhouses especially when near transit, or villages? I live in a large house that is a 10 minute walk to transit and two major strips of retail. This neighborhood is mostly detached houses and duplexes. Why not allow for double, triple, or quadruple the density with townhouses or small apartment buildings? If done at scale, across the city, this could absolutely make a huge difference, in terms of the availability of housing.

In terms of mansions, why not spend a few hours walking around Forest Hill. You'll probably need more time, though, if you want to see them all. It's a beautiful neighborhood. And very large.

> The problem is a handful of cities are winners and everywhere else is losing.

There are other nice cities that are growing -- and the housing prices are growing exponentially there as well. (For example, Waterloo and Victoria.) Everywhere else is definitely not losing, though I agree that there should be more thriving cities in Canada, that is also a daunting task. Frankly, it's also a lot more daunting than changing the zoning to allow for medium density in single-family neighborhoods.

The bottom line, though, is that you're right about what officials can't change. They can't change the amount of land available, but they certainly can and should change the amount of development that is allowed on it. The current plan is simply not working. Something needs to change. My proposal is to allow medium density development; I don't see a better alternative.
In essence, it is a RISC since the days of Pentium Pro. Each instruction is decoded to several micro-operations and the trick of making the CPU run fast lies in the decoder.

This also leads to situations where many instructions in x86 asm will run faster than fewer complex instructions which the decoder may not decode to its most optimal micro-operations sequence.
Elo isn't misapplied here. It's just that when game results have a higher luck factor, you get a narrower distribution with shorter tails. You don't get those 2800 Elo players like in chess, who have virtually a 100% chance of beating nearly everyone everytime. The best and worst players tend more to the center, but there's still meaningfulness behind the score.

And here come the F-35 haters...

The F-35 is fine. It's designed to be a replacement to the F-16 with a good level of stealth. NO fighter is 100% immune to SAMs, but the F-35 can survive on the modern battlefield against S300/S400 etc just fine. It would be cleaning up in Ukraine right now as long as the airbases it flew from were protected.

And what "unmanned fighters" are out there right now? Some low performance drones? Sure. But unmanned fighters that can engage in A2A combat are non-existent. Most current drones have the performance of a Cessna 172.
Yes, this is a political move to appeal to the electorate for window dressing and not based on merits or practical and well-thought considerations.

"Hey, we banned those darned foreigners just for you, can we get some love now at the ballot box?

The US wants 2,456 F-35s that’s just a lot of freaking aircraft. It’s actually extremely well designed for this kind of combat. Stealth alone is overrated, but these things get to fight back and they don’t fight alone. Sam sites, manned or unmanned aircraft etc are targets. It’s exactly the same stupid expensive avionics and training programs that make the F-35 so expensive that make it effective.

The US can soften things up with cruse missiles and the F-22 or it’s successors, the F-35’s job is to crush what remains and it does that very well. Difficult enough to fight that you need expensive and therefore difficult to replace weapons systems while still being affordable enough to be plentiful.

> The measures proposed by the Canadian government are likely just political posturing and indented to "pull the wool over the eyes" of Canadian voters because the housing bubble/crisis has reached epic proportions and everyone is talking about it.

Most people don't care about audio quality. Look at what they're playing music on. Shitty tinny speakers built into phones most of the time. $30 PC speakers. Earbuds. Laptop speakers. Sure, some people have actual high quality sound systems, but not enough people to matter.

To each his own, I probably like a bunch of stuff you don’t - nothing wrong with that. I just never met anyone to share my Ralfy thoughts on so these thoughts just bounce around in my head with no outlet - my friends are either not into whisky or are not interested in watching videos about it on YouTube :-)

Restated, the argument over price makes more sense. Perhaps he elaborates on the point over more videos (only watched 50 or so) so maybe I just caught small snippets of the point .

Doing it in C is pretty crazy, but it's pretty easy to do in either Go or Rust. No more difficult than writing a website in any other language. It's a great option if you want a high-performance (or low resource utilisation) website but with a little more dynamism than a static-site generator will easily allow.

That's the wonderful part about lending - it's an arms race, where the lender always wins.

It actually does happen in the US, but the only place I've seen it is bank or county/town auctions, where the house was either taken by the bank for non-payment or taken by the town to cover past taxes.

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.

Private progress into space shouldn't be celebrated. If rich people get there first, they'll use it for ill. What Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's forays into space, and the news frenzy around them, show is how embarrassingly we've let our government, with R&D underfunded for decades, fall behind.

It's not impressive that a billionaire can take a space trip. Big fucking deal. We put someone on the Moon in 1969 and haven't been back since the '70s.

Family of a friend was involved with a cancer cluster near Grand Island. I think there is some environmental contamination of some sort, I know there are agg chemicals in the aquifer. Similar shockingly high numbers for a relatively small community.
CEO says:
In summer 2021, he says, “we were 40,000 package-handlers short, and there were people in the media saying that the stimulus checks didn’t have anything to do with that.” Such people are “divorced from the world we’re living in.” FedEx made up the shortfall by December: “It took a lot of effort.” Mr. Smith concedes that large numbers of people may simply have decided not to work for fear of the pandemic. But “if I’m getting a government check,” he says, there’s less incentive to “go into a warehouse.”

for the average worker:
15 per hour average FedEX package handler salary - from another source on the shipping industry “They underpay everyone. The cost per package is literally .12 to .40 cents and we’re paying people $50.00 to unload four 45ft. trailers in 3.5 hours.”

You can distill vinegar legally. You can distill ethanol as a fuel with the correct permits. Still size doesn't matter - any size for ethanol is illegal to operate without the proper permits.

To me, the point of being able to share my creations would open it up to being discovered. Not to mention, it's pretty obvious that your not making fuel when aging in casks. I really don't feel like opening myself up to felony charges for making a few gallons. I also don't feel like creating a separate property (cannot distill spirits on a residential property) and a $10k bond (minimum allowed amount) to distill for personal use.
I mean that as a human group/tribe/corporation grows the organization and preservation of the organization dominates the goals of the organization far more than the original purpose of the organization. Do the Republicans actually want to dismantle democracy and impose a fascist government? Hell no, but the organization is going to have to create a fascist government to continue, or cease to exist in their current form. This situation is present for all dominating organizations.

Don't get why you're being downvoted - as a half-Croat I completely understand your point (for the non-Balkan people: former Yugoslavia is your to-go source if you need any kind of weapon if you can't get one legally, there is an enormous amount of stuff from the 90s wars floating around).

In the end we are at a trade-off situation: Either we don't send weapons to Ukraine and let Putin take over, raze the country and genocide off the population (they are already setting up "filtration camps" and forcibly relocating Ukrainians to Siberia [1]), and risk that the Baltic states or Poland becomes the next target for Putin. Or we send weapons to Ukraine, blow the invasion forces to pieces, and risk that the weapons will be sold off later on to the highest bidders.

Personally I prefer the latter: no one should be forced to live under Putin's dictatorship and the post-WW2 world order was explicitly created to condemn Nazi-style landgrab operations. If the price of that will be that some ammo gets diverted off to some other warlord, that's bad but acceptable because the alternative is so much worse.

I don't have a problem with corporation managing properties. That's not the problem. For me people could even pay a premium if they want that assurance.

The problem seems to boil down to access to money and the destruction it causes, simply because we play by different sets of rules.

Housing used to be an asset class that was accessible to people, apparently it's a matter of time before it'll be yet another asset limited to a few bunch. They simply have to drive the prices up enough, and outbid people, which is whats happening.

So you have to level the playing field by giving everyone the same type of access to cash, or you make hoarding houses more expensive to the point of being unsustainable.

>Do you (honestly) believe the US doesn't have tank armor that can withstand a (from the top) hit from a Javelin?

If this exists, why did the USMC binned their tanks 2 years ago stating they weren't cost-effective anymore? I'll believe this exists when I'll see it, but so far we have seen $4M tanks defeated by $100K javelins with a 93% kill rate, and so far cope cages have done nothing against them.

Is it that we’re still not optimistic it will actually take hold?
One aspect I haven't seen mentioned in other comments is that secrecy and control is part of the core Apple culture, in a positive way. Out of all the big tech co's, Apple has the strongest brand and marketing. They have built an image on good design and high quality products (this is the perception, even if you dispute the reality). They have carefully built this image over the years by releasing products very deliberately, not focused on the tech or specs inside but instead focused on the product as a whole.

Controlling the narrative _requires_ secrecy during development. Every person who joins Apple today is well aware of the culture and how it has contributed to Apple's success. They have every incentive to maintain that secretive culture to continue the success.
