> Air support is as vulnerable to MANPADs as tanks are to a Javelin

They are not, the fact the Russians have lost so many planes is a testament to their inability to suppress the Ukrainian air defense.

Fighters are capable of flying far higher than MANPAD ceilings the only reason to fly that low is to employ visually guided weapons under cloud cover or to attempt to hide behind the terrain against longer range air defense systems.

Both of these issues can be resolved. By suppressing the enemy long range air defense and by employing laser guided weapons along with ground based designators.

Also fighters can evade missiles, google f16 dodges 6 sams for an extreme example.

I think the issues with Vickrey auctions for houses is that a lot of buyers really have no idea what price they are willing to pay for a particular property. The open price auction format gives them a (weird and easily manipulated hint) at what price might be sensible for a particular home.
Suppose there was a broadband provider charging more for data transmitted when the network is congested, don't you think it would be a violation of net neutrality?
Even if you are correct, the point is moot because the GPL isn't there to protect business owners, but users.

A business can't just grab a bunch of free GPL software, modify it, and then sell it with a whole bunch of restrictions about what the user may or may not do with their product. The GPL ensures the user has the right to examine, alter, fork, or manipulate the product.

If that hurts a business because they need to restrict how their customers are allowed to utilize their product, they shouldn't be using GPL code to make their product.

Vancouver has real issues.

According to their plan:

> Our goal is 72,000 new homes across Vancouver in the next 10 years.

Unfortunately, if the Vancouver population continues to grow at an annual 1% rate, that means 275,000 new people to house. 72,000 homes would mean an average of 3.82 people in each of those new houses, which is just not realistic.

In short: Vancouver isn't even planning on building enough to be able to house everyone.

I'm not very familiar with the city, but clearly, their attempts to solve the housing issue are not actually serious if they're not even planning on building enough housing for everyone.
.... I dunno what the distinction is...They clearly were scraping all data, in terms of display they extracted pieces of publicly available websites to use as descriptions and titles, and images. They displayed cached versions of websites. So the amount of content you take of the larger body makes the distinction? But as you get larger those rules no longer apply? It doesn't make sense to me.
It is also dangerous to not make these sort of plans for the future.
Since this is from 2012, does anyone know what is the state as of today?

After watching the movie Bigbug on Netflix, I am convinced that there is a small, quiet cadre of people who are right now building their own implementation of the robot boy that many of us had shown to us in movies (anakin and c3p0) and myriad old school science fiction novels.

Since seeing that, my own efforts have crystalized into the project that I am building, ostensibly for a grandchild, inspired by my own grampa's talking plastic skull via ventriloquism in his workshop. Mine is to be a cybernetic version.

That’s simply untrue, Cory.

I have a couple dozen Insteon switches, all controlled locally (by a non-Insteon controller from Universal Devices, which way predates the Insteon hub) and everything works exactly the same as it has for the last dozen years.

People who bought the Insteon hub and have no local control are a bit screwed, and if / when my interface module dies, I’ll be screwed too. But all my switches will still have local control.
That is where ethics/morals come into play: knowledge is power, and power is responsibility.

People are pushing many indepedent flavors of "anti-censorship" at the moment. Some of them clearly are dog whistle's for the alt-right by people who just want to say bigoted things without repercussions. The Substack version is more inline with the neoliberal complaints of censorship. This letter from Harper's Magazine[1] from a couple years back is a great example of this thinking. Whether the signees of this letter are "excellent writers" is certainly up for debate, but most of these clearly aren't alt-right thinkers.

In SQL Server you just... do the upgrade. You install the upgrade on your nodes starting with the passive nodes, and it will automatically failover from the old version to the new version once half the nodes have been upgraded. No downtime, but your redundancy drops when some nodes have been upgraded but the cluster hasn't fully been upgraded yet. You certainly don't have to dump and restore your database. Without giving private numbers, our database is much bigger than OP's 4TB; dump and restore would be wildly unacceptable.

The idea that you don't get a seamless upgrade of the database itself with PostgreSQL is absurd to me. The part about "maximizing the amount of time this upgrade buys is" is only necessary because of how difficult PostgreSQL makes upgrades. We upgrade to every new version of SQL Server. It's not that big of a deal.

With every PostgreSQL blog article I read, I become more and more of an SQL Server fanboy. At this point it's full-blown. So many "serious business" PostgreSQL ops posts are just nothingburgers in the SQL Server world.

True, but the DB constraints often aren't enough. I like to have a verify program to check that the DB is as expected.

I don't know much about this subject, but this information has been on the wikipedia page for years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_salt#Dietary...

As of 2009 the average sodium consumption in 33 countries was in the range of 2,700 to 4,900 mg/day. This ranged across many cultures, and together with animal studies, this suggests that sodium intake is tightly controlled by feedback loops in the body. This makes recommendations to reduce sodium consumption below 2,700 mg/day potentially futile.[39] Upon review, an expert committee that was commissioned by the Institute of Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there was no health outcome-based rationale for reducing daily sodium intake levels below 2,300 milligrams, as had been recommended by previous dietary guidelines; the report did not have a recommendation for an upper limit of daily sodium intake.[27][40]

There's also this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_salt#Dietary...

Studies found that excessively low sodium intake, below about three grams (3,000 mg) of salt per day, is associated with increased mortality and higher risk for cardiovascular disease.[6][7]

But.. maybe it depends on the population.

I know that if you're outside in the heat, insufficient salt is far more dangerous.

That's because shadow stats is a joke. If you adjust US GDP using their inflation figures, you'd find that the US economy has been on a continual decline for the past few decades.
>>>But there may be cheaper and better models one day.

And when that "one day" comes around, the tank engineers will have outfitted every vehicle with Trophy-style active protection systems AND laser anti-missile/anti-drone remote weapons stations on the turrets.

>>>As an analogy: once it would be considered too expensive and impractical to equip infantry with night vision en masse.

Interesting that you mention night vision. We used to swear by equipping our infantry with IR lasers as well, for pinpoint accuracy during night combat. Now that more of our adversaries are using night vision, we are swinging back towards NOT using IR lasers because the active emission is just like the old Murphy's Law adage: "tracers point both ways".

Assigning leaders is trivial with something like zookeeper. But in this case it appears that the leader metadata is stored in a table of the database itself, which raises questions of operability if those tablets are unavailable.

Agreed, there are fun technical challenges to tackle. I think the project will eventually take a compiler approach.

At least that's the plan to enable indexes. Parse callback functions passed to .filter and convert that into native DB queries.
YC asks primarily questions about the company applying (but also has founder profiles attached). This A16Z program only asks questions about an individual applying, and seems most interested in their corporate pedigree.

The "Meet our STARTers" carousel shows: Cofounder of Rappi, Former Global Head of Ecommerce at Rappi, Former Business Unit Head at Rappi, Former VP Product at Ethos, Former Chief Strategy Officer.

It appears to be something like an open invitation for a "Entrepreneurs in Residence" type program than a YC-style startup program.

A lot of VCs think hiring the executive team at a successful startup is a good recipe for success. As far as I know this hasn't proven to be true, although of course there are surely some examples.

The first upgrade Strategie is not the normal or easy one on anything production btw.

Very small companies might be able to do this on 'no load day' but from a pure business perspective, running your db twice is easier and way less risky.

You could have done this even without downtime by letting your connection proxy handling the switch.

If you are in this situation, you do not have free software.

The difference between free software and open source is the perspective. Open source comes from the perspective of the vendor. Free software comes from the perspective of the user.

Free software is about freedom for the user, everything else builds upon this first principle. It is possible that the licenses have defects. The license is an artifact. The four essential freedoms are the business requirements on which the licenses are built in top of:

The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).

The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

We simply got complacent.
This reminds me of a example that happened just a couple days ago. The White House tweet that 70 percent of the inflation in March was due to Putin. That makes you think Putin is causing a lot of the March 2022 over March 2021 inflation number reported, which was 8.5%. However the inflation number they compared was March 2022 over February 2022, which was only 1.2% inflation of which 70% is a small much smaller effect and also was a relatively short term jump because markets thought the sanctions were going to be much stricter and bid up the prices in March and prices of many Russia produced goods have lowered some already after that expectation was reversed. This type of confusion is cause us to wrongly assess what is causing inflation or at least what is causing the biggest impact and our only hope is that the policy makers are actually reading these things correctly and able to make decisions but simply informing the public in unclear ways.
>> Given that the bananas obviously aren't on sale for $0.0019, it seems idiotic to me ignore alternative explanations for the sign.

"It's a banana Michael. What could it cost, 10 dollars?!"

You say "obvious" but I don't think that means what you think that means. Why is it obvious? Why would it be impossible that a store sells bananas at a loss in order to pull people in (what people in sales call a "loss leader")? If you don't buy bananas regularly, why couldn't you assume this is just a great deal?

If there were a sign advertising 5 bananas for a penny (or whatever) with no asterisk, fine print, or mention that "terms may apply", I would be livid if I couldn't take advantage of that price.
The reason you have to write that disclaimer is that you're by definition being a "useful idiot" by repeating the favorite argument of the Russian regime: whataboutism/tu quoque. What the US has done in the past or is doing right now is completely irrelevant when judging Russia's actions in Ukraine.
> 1. Donbas separatists (backed by Russia + actual Russian forces) started the conflict.

Before or after the pro-Russian political party was forbidden? Let's assume people in Donbas voted that a lot, would seperatism be such a weird thing for them?

2. Why didn't Russia just clear out Donbas/Luhansk republics instead of the whole of Ukraine?

I dont know the Russian military's strategy decisions. But I think we can all agree the focus of this war is on the Donbas. The approach to Kiev seems to have been a diversion. Some expect a major push to Kiev in the coming weeks; some expect the peace deal (the Russian demands been pretty clear from the start) to be signed right before Kiev gets taken.
> Here's a pop quiz with a counterintuitive answer: if Bitcoin succeeds at replacing the dollar as both the world reserve currency and the currency of choice for everyday transactions, what's its fair market value? Most optimists would divide total dollar supply ($21T) by total Bitcoin supply ($21M) and come out with $1M. But the true answer is infinite: if this scenario actually comes to pass, the dollar's value will trend to zero and the question will become meaningless, as you won't be able to trade your dollars for Bitcoin at any price.

That makes no sense. Assuming dollars remain legal tender (note that those words that actually mean something specific and are not synonyms for currency) in the United States, they will always be worth something. Further the fact that there are dozens of currencies in the world which are not typically reserve currencies, but are also not worth zero indicates a gap in your analysis.

The copying file was added years later and not by the same author as the original license. It looks like tcclib itself messed up somewhere along the lines here.

Also, "any later version" is any later version of the same license. LGPL and GPL are two separate licenses- you can't switch GPL to LGPL using this clause.

I never said all collectables were an extremely sound investments, just Rolex. I agree not all Rolex watches either, obviously some due diligence would need to be performed.

But yes, scarcity is precisely it. That is what NFTs are trying to bring to digital assets. Whether it will succeed or not is an outstanding question but I wouldn't straight up dismiss it altogether. Especially considering the sheer amount that has been spent on digital goods in video games which you would say have precisely zero value. Don't get me wrong, the space will be filled with scams just like real world collectables are (late night infomercials for coin collections right?)

> Does an NFT confer ownership to any real, personal or intellectual property as understood by any currently existing legal authority?

I can use my imagination and predict a future where some form of the tech can be. But on a different note, traditional art doesn't need to be understood by any existing legal authority and people collect art. Although a lot of high value art is also used for money laundering. I just don't see a huge difference between the two in the creative category and at least NFTs have some interesting tech to them.
