Keep in mind that was when Radio was THE mass communication medium for the masses. People don't gather 'round the radio after dinner these days. I'm not sure what the radio userbase in Russia looks like, but I imagine smart phones and TV dominates just like everywhere else. In fact that's the entire point of the article:

"In other words, shortwave was great but it’s not the option you’re looking for. The audience won’t be there. "

That isn't to say we shouldn't try short-wave, but expectations should be tempered.
> CloudFlare had it taken down.

I'm not sure where the idea that we took this down came from, but I checked with legal and we didn't. Such tools, services, etc. have existed forever. Just one reason why we encourage people to protect their public IP (https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/s...) and have Cloudflare Tunnel (https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections...).
I think it's funny how "the old AI" had combinatorical optimization as a major theme, for instance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

which is closely related to the central operation of logic, the canonical NP problem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

as well as the playing of games like Chess, Poker, etc.

Modern neural networks also have optimization as a theme even when the output is a classification or something that doesn't look like optimization... That is, the network itself is trained to minimize an error function. People used these kind of algorithms back in the 1980s to layout chips

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

and it's only natural that new techniques of optimization (both direct and through heuristics like the neural network used in AlphaGo) are used today for chips.

That one had some fundamental problems due to the choice of graphite moderator. Another selling point: the ability to refuel while the plant is running also did not pan out. In the end these reactors had somewhere around 50% capacity factor, compared to more mainstream designs that used water (light or heavy) at 90%. They are also being decommissioned early, again, due to graphite cracking over time. That said, it's not unfeasible to imagine these problems being ironed out in the end, but rollout coincided with the Thatcher Era, which deprioritized industrial developmend and fundamental R&D. It was not a good deal to buy one of these 1st gen UK reactors, compared to a GE/Westinghouse LWR/HWR.
He seems to be equating "mating success" with "high number of sexual partners". I don't think this is reasonable.
AFAIK there are/were some 1440p versions available in the US. I'm from Europe so I didn't see them.
Yes, seriously, and I have thought about this a lot. I appreciate it’s not a popular position and I’m not likely to win any debates on the topic.
If a computer is voluntarily connected to the internet then it’s there to explore and there should be no penalties for getting into those machines and looking around by connecting remotely. Malicious outcomes in the real world, obviously this is different. Hack in, look around, fine. Hack in, explode powerstation, not fine.

This has been beat to death, but another perspective is that the blue bubble indicates a better level of service, and is thus preferred. More reliable, faster, better media sharing, etc. Green bubble means the opposite because sms is a vastly inferior user experience. The shunning of green bubble people is because if one person on a group chat is a green bubble person, that ruins the blue bubble experience for everyone else. It's not just arbitrary status signaling for me at least.
Netflix is screwed.

It used to be that if you wanted to watch a movie, you could find it on Netflix, put it in your DVD queue and in a few days receive the DVD in the mail. Their inventory was really good, (with some exceptions) and the service had pretty fast turnaround. Phase 1.

Then broadband started becoming more available, so streaming became a natural extension. Here's where Netflix faced bigger challenges. Initially, IP owners were happy to sell streaming rights for pennies since they didn't have any idea of the real value. Netflix leveraged this to build up an even bigger catalog that wasn't constrained by the number of DVDs in their inventory.

Netflix started to dabble in producing (and buying) content for their streaming. Good stuff like Stranger Things. The Crown. Dark. Babylon Berlin. And IP owners started raising the prices for renewals for movies and series in their catalogs. Netflix decided to cheap out on the quality of their shows. And they started to cut down on their DVD catalog as well.

Now you have all of the IP owners with their own streaming services, so Netflix will find it really hard to stream anything but the crappiest stuff. And they've shown little ability to consistently produce quality series or movies.

Contrast this with ATV+. Apple knew that it had a huge potential customer base, but that licensing IP wasn't going to be sustainable; whatever they streamed had to be exclusive. So they started slow, trying to replace HBO for high quality content. And they had some meh shows like "See." Not bad, but not HBO. Then "The Morning Show," followed by "Ted Lasso." Now they're starting to get some traction. Having an infinite amount of money always helps, but they became pretty good at saying no. "For All Mankind" grabbed a chunk of sci-fi viewers. Greyhound captured the war nerds. Slowly, carefully, they've been building up a pretty solid catalog. Now you have shows like "Servant," "Slow Horses," "The Mosquito Coast," "Foundation."

Cap it off with a series and a movie that have set ATV+ on par with any streaming service: Severance and Coda.

Now ATV+ will never have the catalog that Disney+ has. They might be fine with that. But where does this leave Netflix? Netflix has no serious movies that could compete for an Oscar. They don't seem to have the ability to create must see TV anymore. Perhaps they're too driven by algorithms to give the viewer what Netflix "thinks" they want? I just can't see a path forward for Netflix as other than crappy shows. Even with their foreign content, they face increased price pressure and competition from the other SVODs.
It’s only a single order of magnitude farther away than Mars is, which is quite reasonable in the grand scheme of things.

I think the issue is simply that we again had publishers trying to start their own platforms and withdraw a lot of content. Some with success like Disney.

But I otherwise sympathise with what Musk writes, content might be more enjoyable if we could tune that down a bit.
Why would I offer a solution to a problem that is non-existent. The world will have less population by the end of the century.

You would make a more cogent point if instead you were asking about policies improving the quality of life of future people instead of defending genocidal ideas. Sadly you don't.
According to this article, they are planning on a second test in Visalia, CA, which has not happened yet.
Makes sense to me. We're just a bunch of monkeys shaped by evolution. Women would choose men that made for stronger and probably better surviving offspring. And the man can act as protector - if they don't turn dangerous.

So using Fiat that corrupt governments worldwide print as a hidden means of taxation and control has noting to do with inequality?

> the way that humans tend to get things fixed, is called "a state"... But there actually isn't another way.

Sure there is. It's called "entrepreneurship". In fact, far more of the improvement in the human condition has come from it than the state.

It's astounding to me that we're on an Internet forum about startups, and people are saying that the only way to improve the world is through political activism.
I write Go for a fintech company. I'll take a Macbook running MacOS over Linux or Windows every day of the week. It's simple and easy to set up and maintain my local dev environment. I don't understand why using Linux or hating a Mac is like a religious calling to some people. In my experience I jump few far fewer hoops managing my dev environment in MacOS than Linux for the work I do.
Why Mac seems to attract so fanatic behavior?

They seem to want to push everyone to use Mac, like religious fanatics try to push everyone to their "truth".

I think this is a result of some marketing tactics Apple employed for decades, and it only pushes me away from this brand.
Yes, the set of people truly operating "at scale" is more than FAANG and far, far less than the set of people believing they operate "at scale". This means there are still people in that middle ground.

One gotcha here is not all PBs are equal. My field also is a case where multi-PB datastores are common. However for the most part those data sit at rest in S3 or similar. They'll occasionally be pulled in chunks of a couple TB at most. But when you talk to people they'll flash their "do you know how big our storage budget is?" badge at the drop of a hat. It gets used to explain all sorts of compute patterns. Meanwhile, all they need is a large S3 footprint and a machine with a reasonable amount of RAM.
> If this is successful, the ecological niche left by Aedes aegypti will be filled by other mosquito species, and no ecological disaster will occur.

Isn't that what people always say before interfering with ecosystems?

I mean you might be right, but how can you possibly make such a huge claim like that?
Both of these comments are ditches alongside the road of truth. 4k on a laptop is not necessary, but it is noticeable and sometimes valuable. I have a 4K laptop screen and I like it a lot. I have a 1080p monitor and I notice the resolution (mostly on text), but I’m plenty productive with it.
One problem was that people started believing that there's no such thing as beauty. How do you build a beautiful building, if you think beauty is an illusion anyway?

I have the idea that it's related to atheism. Once you believe all of life and all of nature is ultimately some brute atoms buzzing back and forth anyway, then what your imagination creates is likely to look pretty brutalist. If you believe it's angels and God's creation all the way down you will place meaning and symbols into the large elements and every tiny bit. Anyone else can see this connection?
If you avoid PowerShell, go back to where you came from :)

This is unreasonably dismissive.
Cliff notes that hopefully clarify some things--

This concerns an invasive mosquito (Aedes aegypti) that carries dengue/yellow fever/zika and more. Males were raised with a mutation that, passed on to offspring, kills females before reach adulthood (and have grandchildren).

They released this on 1 hectacre of land, the genes functioned as expected, and the genes didn't travel more than 400m (affected mosquitoes have a sort of fluorescence under the right light). Probably also as expected, the genes disappeared after a year (a few generations). My guess is that mostly happened from neighboring unmodified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes genes coming over to replace the modified ones.

AFAIK it'd take a monumental effort to wipe out a species this way, but suppressing or near-eliminating a population in a place you can isolate from non-modified aegypti sounds possible, particularly if you do other suppressive efforts.
The article talks about "mating success", which I'm not really sure correlates with marriage necessarily. Calling Tinder a marriage market is quite a stretch as well. Summary seems to be "physical attractiveness leads to more sex", which I imagine surprises absolutely no one.
The studies weren't asking about marriage success, but about mating success. Female preferences can be pretty different between those two.
It seems like it is not as uncommon as it may seem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobby_tunneling
Who a woman chooses to marry and who she has sex with are two entirely different things.
I felt the way you do for the entire decade of the '00s.

Then I started a job that issued me a MacBook Pro. And got to see, use, and develop for, a shitload of Android and iOS devices, both phones and tablets.

Turns out I'd just never given them a chance.

But yes, I'm sure Apple users are just dumber than you, and that's all it is.
So here’s a conundrum. The longevity literature consistently reports that caloric restriction and in particular minimising protein intake, including eg the BCAAs found in protein powders, leads to a longer lifespan. Other things like mTOR that are associated with muscle growth also lead to shorter lifespan.

Basically it seems like you have a choice - live a long life, or get muscular.
This woman was not guilty after doing this with special equipment, a telephoto lens(!).

There was also that guy in another case sitting in his kitchen naked while drinking coffee and reading the morning paper. Some woman decides to walk into his back yard with her kid, sees him, and called the police on him for indecency...it took years for him to get let off and cost him a ton of money to not get any penalties. He was nearly held liable for what someone saw inside his house when they had to be trespassing to see it!
If I understand the article "mating success" means number of sex partners per unit time for them. There is the obvious spurious correlation that guys who work out to get big may be doing so because they are trying to play the field and attract more women. Smaller guys who are married or monogamous would have fewer sex partners, and may have other priorities than getting jacked. It's like saying women with dyed hair and lots of makeup have more sex partners, if that was true it would not be clear that means they are actually more attractive, just promiscuous

How can you say that? Did you simulate the effect of this mosquito species being wiped out? Did the people running the study?

I'm had a Retina 2015 MBP before, and with Windows/Gnome set to 100% Scaling I get the same screen real estate as an MBP with default settings. Screen has a high sRGB percentage and colors look vibrant and crisp.

To be honest, I would trade 2K for 144Hz again. It's so good.
The next question to that is why does zoning exist in the first place? Zoning exists because of how hard it is to scale up infrastructure to match demand. And we decided to entrust governments with infrastructure, yet they are not nimble enough to handle these scaling issues

Old <frameset> pages had its charm. You can still use it with HTML5! If I remember correctly was that screen readers sometimes had some difficulty handling a <frameset> page, especially if the were multiple <frame>s.

And nowadays you don't even need your own event layer to talk between frames, you can use postMessage.

Now minimum rent becomes the value of land rent, I still think increasing taxes hurt the people paying rent.
"getting jacked" correlates with about a hundred other positive behaviors, leading to obvious confusion about which is the magic sauce that actually causes female attraction. The article incorrectly assumes its mere bulk mass, but fat dudes do not attract women, so ...

Higher protein/lower carb diet of lifters naturally leads to lower body fat, face and neck look better, which also correlates with reproductive success.

As if I needed yet another reason not to start smoking, I don't want to pass out coughing at the gym so I don't smoke, with a side effect of my teeth are therefore not yellow. Non-yellow teeth also correlate with reproductive success.

Even stuff like I don't binge drink or use drugs and get reasonable good sleep therefore my eyes are rarely bloodshot in the morning, again, eyes that don't look like a gore pic correlate with reproductive success.

A lower carb diet plus some sweating in the sauna eliminates all skin problems for me, and again lack of zits correlates well with reproductive success.

A final interesting correlation is there's an absolute fixation by non-lifters on "beating people up" whereas in reality I've lived in a concealed carry state for decades so people are much more civil and polite to each other and I'm not in a demographic or social class where beatings are part of life. I would instead propose it seems rather obvious that a guy who takes excellent care of himself will take excellent care of his partner and children, which seems to market pretty well to women, every woman wants to see her kids grow up healthy strong and attractive, so a guy that "cheats" his natural genetics by putting in a couple hours in the gym every week is going to massively attract women.

That said, the specific cause doesn't really matter, if you generally join the overall "lifter lifestyle", it will work out well. Eat better, exercise, treat your body well, and that will attract people.
> In other words, there appear to be cues in the male body that accurately indicate strength (and are detected as such by raters), but nonetheless are neutral or negatively valued when assessing attractiveness.

hahaha yes I was wondering about that. Gym-based fitness and lifting specifically seem pretty trendy right now and a lot of the younger men I know lift and are very visibly fit. But anecdotally pretty much all of the strongest men I've known had guts to match their arms and if you saw them out of weight training context you'd probably say they looked more schlubby than than chiseled.

> Many people have sent many millions to Ukraine,

As I understand it, somewhere around 20MM was sent to Ukraine via crypto. The National bank of Japan sent 100MM the first day with lower transaction costs (fees, electricity, complexity). And the Ukrainians still have to convert the crypto to money to use it.

Meanwhile, everyone could just send money to Ukraine via the standard banking system if they wanted to.
We've inadvertently wiped out a whole bunch of species, and nearly done so to a whole bunch more. These have had ecological impact, but one more isn't gonna make or break things, especially having specifically done the research in this case in a way we didn't for most of the extinct species.

We've got concrete examples of getting rid of some species with near-zero consequences, like the guinea worm.
According to the article, this is solely measuring numbers of sexual partners. I might be more inclined to believe this, whereas money / earning power might predict better success at long-term pair bonding.
That is a fantastic idea. We are a Silver sponsor for Let's Encrypt, so this is not entirely impossible that we'd donate to QEMU as well :-D I'll bring it up to the people who can make these calls.
I imagine you're probably right but I don't think it'll be the case for me. I upgraded because my parents and in-laws were using it on occation so I needed more concurrent streams on my package. If they crack down, I'll downgrade immediately and I doubt my parents and in-laws would want to start paying for it, they only use it on rare occasations it just so happens that tended to cross over with me and my wife who are heavy users.

I think they'd probably get a net loss from me and my family if they cracked down.
