Mutual or one-sided exhaustion is indistinguishable from regular war until it happens and at least in this case the hope of reaching such a state is based on continuous escalation.

Negotiated settlement is very broad and would include such “exhaustion” cases. Should it be treated separately? For a theoretical discussion on how to end war, perhaps. But in this particular case, the US is playing a dangerous escalatory game and it neither can it be guaranteed that it will achieve the stated purpose, nor that this is indeed the actual purpose. Perhaps the actual goal is regime change, or taking back Crimea or another thing which has totally different implication from exhausting an opponent.
Thanks, very useful feedback!
Missile defense is hard, even if everything goes according to plan. A small sea skimming object travelling at near wave height means very little reaction time for even the likes of an AEGIS system.
Do you think you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to things that are both outdoors and literally viewable from space?
Lots of evidence. IF you interpret the words "covered the whole world" as they would have been understood at the time they were supposedly written.

The idea that "the whole world" means what we think of as the globe didn't really emerge until roughly 900 AD.

And there is plenty of evidence in Mesopotamia of flood events which are not inconsistent with conceivable dates for the the biblical flood event and which had the potential to have wiped out a civilization (a city/state and its government) -- thus "the whole world".

All I'm gleaning here is that trying to generalize the experiences and preferences of 400+ million people between the U.S. and Canada isn't a particularly useful exercise. Beyond what country / state / county you're in, I have to imagine that age, race, socioeconomic status, general social preferences, and probably a whole other slew of factors play a significant role in how often people experience religion being thrust upon them in.

Not to say that this is necessarily a useless conversation, but it feels odd to me considering many dang people there are.
And chances are none of them were younger than 80, having lived at a time when there likely was far more wilderness. A lot of species have gone extinct within the last century, and the author seems to be very careful to include "survived into the recent past" in the hypothesis. A population practicing burial, but not in places that happen to facilitate bone conservation could, in theory, be more invisible to science than some of their ancestors who happened to leave their remains in a preservation hotspot like that cave.

But yeah, stories about almost but not quite humans seem to exist everywhere, perhaps fueled by occasional sightings of misfits who got thrown out by their communities and lived on as wandering hermits.

How is it superior? Honest question.
I feel like the main difference is that we shape the world around us to a degree far greater than any other being, to the point where it affected our evolution tens, hundreds of thousands of years ago. I mean yeah, some animals use tools like sticks or rocks to get food, or build rudimentary shelters like nests, or even plant or store food for next year, but they don't build fires and cook their food, they don't produce more than they need for themselves and their immediate families, etc.

I mean you see a lot of human / societal traits in a lot of animals, but humans have perfected it to an extreme degree. "Top of the foodchain" is another one; sure, in a barehanded 1v1 we probably won't make it out of a bear fight, but as a group we can decimate all other creatures + each other + the whole world.

If I needed to, I could physically walk to my bank and they would unlock my bank account on the spot. That also seems like an excellent protection against people getting their account hacked from overseas. No Indian call center is going to show up in person inside the US to recover your account, so those people that do show up have a high likelihood of being the correct person. Google could also require people to show their ID card and sign a copy of it so that if an account is maliciously reset this way, the original account owner can subpoena them to get the ID card copy that the scammer used.

It's not rocket science. All banks can do it. It's just a tiny bit more expensive than saying "fuck you" to 0.1% of your customers.

I think you got it backwards. Users will seek out SOFTWARE alternatives. They're easier to change than the hardware. They're likelier to go the Ubuntu or Linux Mint route than to die on a Debian hill.
And there you have it. A vague, intrigue-producing story and a book. The book probably contains some folklore stories and an inconclusive conclusion that has lots of questions like, "What else may we find?".

That is confusingly incompetent for a vessel at war, off the enemy’s coast, an enemy which manufactures anti-ship missiles and has been potting your side’s planes for weeks. I’m more liable to believe the radars were broken. It fits the pattern of logistical and maintenance issues across the Russian military.

Have you told this story anywhere else already? I'd love to read it. In a past life I worked very close to Windows Server, but I mostly selfhost Linux at home now.

I argues with some of the Rust compiler members the other day about wanting to just ditch almost all alighnment restrictions because I of this exact thing. They laughed and basically told me i didnt know what i was talking about. I remember about 15 years ago when i worked at market making firm and we test this and it was a great gain - we started packing almost all our structs after that.

Now, at another MM shop, and we're trying to push the same thing but having to fight these areguments again (the only alignmets I want to keep are for AVX and hardware accessed buffers).
This is great context, this only threw me because when I installed Debian and some other distros, I didn't have any graphics card drivers and was confused why and how to get them.

When it works. When you have no context (like me) and you are presented with the wrong resolution and no GPU acceleration - It's really hard to find a tl;dr of how to get your graphics card working.

The chane in this “feeling of identity “ in Ukraine is indeed very strong in the last 8 years.
4% percent shift is between 1991 and 2001, change between 2012 and 2017 is much more drastic, especially in Southern and Eastern Ukraine.

How is it that a serious decrease in intelligence can easily be attributed to genes then? Like, I would guess noone would claim that Down’s syndrome doesn’t impact intelligence negatively, yet we should believe that the other end of the same axis is not seriously dependent on genetics?

I mean, I get that (as everything) it is not solely genetic, obviously a child not having apt social environment while growing up will fail to develop normal intelligence (like, won’t be able to learn to speak, etc). But going the other direction of intelligence doesn’t depend on genes is just bad science.

"The earliest stories (among Westerners) of a dragon-like animal existing in the region circulated widely and attracted considerable attention. But no Westerner visited the island to check the story until official interest was sparked in the early 1910s by stories from Dutch sailors based in Flores in East Nusa Tenggara about a mysterious creature. The creature was allegedly a dragon which inhabited a small island in the Lesser Sunda Islands (the main island of which is Flores). ... The Dutch sailors reported that the creature measured up to seven metres (twenty-three feet) in length with a large body and mouth which constantly breathed fire. It burnt them and so they could not continue the investigation. It was believed then that the odd creature could fly." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_(island)

"The Komodo dragon was the driving factor for an expedition to Komodo Island by W. Douglas Burden in 1926. After returning with 12 preserved specimens and two live ones, this expedition provided the inspiration for the 1933 movie King Kong. It was also Burden who coined the common name "Komodo dragon."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon

Your mention of dragons made me think of the Komodo dragon. I only noticed after pasting the first quote the strange coincidence that it mentions Flores! I thought it interesting that the very real Komodo dragon, 10 ft long with dragony teeth and nasty bite, produced traditional-dragon-like legends even into the 20th C.

Essentially the closer you move at the speed of light, time flows slower for you. So, if you are in a rocket which is moving at close to c, for you the journey to Alpha Centauri which is 4 light years away may be like just an year. But for us outside of your rocket, it would likely be more than 4 years.

If you were to goto Alpha Centauri and then back to Earth, you may have spent just 2 years in your rocket. But when you get out of your rocket, you will find that 8 years have gone by on Earth.

Taking a lot of liberties with my explanation, but hope this ELI5 works.

When I was an agronomist I used satellite imagery a lot for monitoring farm crops for our customers. Started in the early eighties going up in a Cessna laying on my belly where the passenger seat was sticking a 35mm camera out a repair port.

But that got old and started researching satellite options. Problems was our company entire sales area was three West Michigan counties. All the companies wanted to sell me, I forget the term but say a tract (scene?), that was half the state.

I didn't have a problem with the price per acre but wanted to buy by the section or 640 acres. It didn't make a lot of sense to buy the township but they wouldn't even sell me by the county. At the time probably 5% of my customers wanted this service and only wanted to buy just part of their acreage.

I asked all these vendors why they couldn't sell me by the township. They routinely answered they'd lose money because they couldn't sell the rest of the tract. I said now you understand my problem, at a certain point you've got to break up a tract or give up on the market. Most of the company's ended up leaving ag.

I eventually found a company that would sell by the section at a higher but still manageable price. Course then I discovered that in four flyovers a season the majority had clouds over the field and you couldn't see anything ;<(. Such is the pain of being an early user in any field.

FYI The military has satellites using radar to see through the clouds, but in thirty years that tech hasn't made it to the commercial operators.

The answer I think is automated drones that fly a circuit. The tech has been available for a few years but the government won't approve it for that use. In fact the FAA won't even let a Detroit company demonstrate they could successfully evade objects, they ran out of funding and shut their doors ;<(.
From reading on mobile (so might have missed the clarification) it also seems to do the standard mistake in physics literature to assume the exponential map is surjective so the log map is defined on the whole group (which they call M?).

This is not always true, I think sl2(R) is an example of a connected, non compact group such that the exponential map is not surjective.

> I'm quite surprised that an UK born citizen of Pakistani heritage is currently the mayor of London

The only surprise here is that he's Labour, not Tory.

Half of the current Great Offices of State are held by brown people under the Tories, who also had the first Jewish PM, the first (and second, and only) female PMs, and then there's Saj who's been Chancellor and Home Secretary, and I reckon is about as likely as Sunak to be the next PM. They appointed the first female, gay head of the Met Police, and the leader of the party in Scotland was also a gay woman for 8 very recent years.

Some of these people are clearly the worst of British politics (hello Priti Patel!), but the Tories have an excellent record of putting people who aren't straight, white, Christian men into positions of power.
I think the poster is clearly speaking within the context of the biblical narrative, and not asserting the factuality of it.

> That is incredibly false. It is always legitimate to argue implications.

It's not "incredibly false"; like everything else in life, it's "sometimes it depends".

In this case, making a successful argument against free software based on a side-effect of the movement has little to no effect:

1. The movement doesn't care. It's of no concern to them, so at worst they'll ignore it, at best they'll suggest mitigations. They aren't going to stop their cause.

2. The developers of the free software don't care. Many of them are already paid well even though the movement has been around for most of their entire lifetimes, and for most of them their jobs already depend on free software. They aren't going to care about what the implications are because in the last 40 years there hasn't been any negatives for the clear majority of developers, while they currently depend on it.

3. The users of free software (which includes almost all developers alive today) care very much that free software continues being a thing. They depend on it. Doesn't matter how accurate your argument is, they'll ignore it too.

So, once again, who is the target audience of any argument against free software? If all the audiences are going to mostly ignore it because it is against their best interests, why continue tilting at windmills?

historically russian military has always been "weak" in some sense. in almost every war they ever fought they suffered heavy losses. this is no military secret. main examples are napoleon wwi civil war poland wwii afghanistan chechnia and now ukraine (if we are to believe western and ukranian reports). from immediate memmory id say that only georgian army was swiftly defeated. however people seem to forget that historically russians tend to fight on despite heavy losses. exceptions being when war is led by unpopular leaders: nicholas ii gorbachov yeltsin
It doesn't matter if its powered by electricity, gasoline, coal, fusion energy, or pixie dust; individual traffic was, is and always will be less efficient, more expensive and scale worse than well-made public transport systems.

No, we should not get completely rid of individual traffic. Yes, there are instances where there isn't another way.

But not everyone lives in far away rural communities, or has to transport hundreds of kg of goods on a daily basis.

Many many many many many people live in cities or city-like communities, where it would make alot more sense to build better public transport infrastructure, than waste mountains of money so we can sacrifice even more public space to roads and parking lots.
That's not the point. What I was trying to say is that a bad app doesn't have to be a scam and that pricing or rating isn't a reliable indicator for that.

Again, the fundamental question at the root of this issue is who's to decide what things should cost? Since when is it illegal to offer bad products that cost too much? That's a negotiation between creator and potential customer. Not buying a product that doesn't meet your expectations or budget is perfectly fine. This doesn't need to be regulated.

Here's the actual paper by Admiral Melville, USN.[1] Melville was a naval steam engineer, the head of steam engineering in the Navy, and was responsible for many innovations in naval propulsion. There's a building at Annapolis named after him, and a statue. Not a Luddite at all.

So where did he go wrong?

First, he discusses airships. Balloons at low pressures, which maximize lift, are prone to collapse from wind gusts, he says. He dismisses rigid airships as too heavy. Writing that in 1903 is embarrassing. Count von Zeppelin had flown a prototype three years previous (it crashed), and by 1906 had a Zeppelin that worked. Within 20 years, the US Navy was a major operator of rigid airships.

For heavier than air craft, he writes: The step from the largest flying creature evolved by nature to the smallest flying machine that will meet the wants of man is, therefore, a very long one. To span that step man has, to help him, only a few mechanical contrivances and the superior strength of steel. Almost every other condition is set against him.

The first all metal airplane, the Junkers J-1 (1915), was all steel. It did fly, but was too heavy to perform well. By 1918, duralumin, an aluminum alloy, had been perfected.
Nobody did an all-steel aircraft again until the 1950s, with jet engines.

So he missed that substantial weight reduction was possible. He was familiar with steam-powered ship systems, where everything is big and heavy.
