> Those are making a comeback.

With modern missile technology one could argue that fighter jets are primarily drone launch vehicles. Sure the drone explodes instead of coming back, but still. Flies and navigates on its own, launched in air from a mothership …

Soon they’ll start landing back too I’m sure. Reconnaissance drones launched from a slower aircraft come to mind as a good use case. Or as command and control platforms for swarms of drones doing the work.
Actually there is a caveat. With Windows laptops, rven if you cant read the data, you can wipe them and start fresh. M1 Macs are locked to their owner if left in Lost Mode and are always broadcasting Find My signals when on in that situation.

Musk's net worth his highly volatile. Telsa is trading at pretty high 200 P/e, one bad quarter could crater the stock price. Space X is private, which carries its own issues. Add to that the risk to these assets if Musk dies. Or hell, even it Musk merely "spooks" investors with his flamboyance.

This is a insanely risky vanity project.
Taiwan / TSMC are allies. The solution is rather simple: convince them to build a lab in Arizona. Lo and behold: TSMC is building a lab in Arizona.

The debate is largely over. We're just dealing with the details / qualms right now. Culture clashes as Taiwanese business managers are learning that US workers have a different culture than they expected (and vice versa).

Taiwan / TSMC doesn't like it, but they probably recognize it as necessary. We USA folk have to be reminded though that this technology belongs to another country, we're merely "hosting" them.

-------

There's also some other knock on effects: Japan is asking TSMC to build a factory within Japan (after all, if USA gets a fab, shouldn't Japan deserve one?). TSMC likely doesn't want to spread itself too thinly around the world.

This overall discussion isn't about one-or-two key / emergency factories being built around the world. That has already happened.

The overall discussion is "how much" should TSMC spread itself around the world and build redundant supply chains?
A good bit of important mods have moved to decent hosts.

A lot of firmware supports using CSM to do GPU init and then providing UEFI interfaces on top of that. Of course, this is incompatible with Secure Boot.
The closest technology we have are verifiable databases, usually immutable ones. They can detect the server modifying the data, either with a Merkle or vector commitment tree, which blockchain technology also relies on.

The difference is that those databases are much more efficient than blockchain technologies. The whole proof of work (voting power depends on computational effort) song and dance is unnecessary for a database. Even for a distributed database you only need a Byzantine agreement such as Paxos, which can only tolerate a certain number of faulty or malicious nodes. This would not work for cryptocurrencies, they need to tolerate arbitary number of such nodes (also known as a Sybil attack) to avoid the double spending problem. Cryptocurrency transactions are not I-confluent (invariant confluent), but certain database transactions are and they don't require consensus at all, so there are specialized databases that can tolerate arbitrary number of faulty or malicious nodes without Sybil countermeasures.

The problem with crypto is that a solution to a specific problem (eliminating the double spending problem trustlessly) can't be applied to every problem. There are trade-offs involved. Solving the double spending problem will let you have cryptocurrencies, but will lock you out of efficiently solving a lot of other problems.

How does one value perpetual earning investments? The $2.1M is 18.36 times the annual earnings. So after 18 years you’ve paid off your investment and get $100+/year forever. In 36 years you’ve doubled your money and the return would be 2% using the back of napkin rate divided into 70 doubling time.

But over time it just keeps paying off, so the stability is good but likely many other investments would give higher returns.
There's no one 'music theory perspective'. Why not analyze it on more axes?

>I've been using a Mac now for work and personal use for a little over a decade and I dread every time I need to use my Windows machine for certain work tasks.

For me it's the opposite. Maybe I'm missing something obvious or I've had back luck with peripherals, but when trying to do something as simple as disabling mouse acceleration involves nonsense like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/it420s/how_to_quickl... it's just baffling to me. I am noticeably less productive on Mac computers because of weird quirks like the mouse acceleration.

In that thread, you'll see people for whom that fix does work, and doesn't work, and other fixes that for some people do work, and don't work, and people that have no idea what's going on.

Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion, but when I switch from working on the Android version of my apps on Windows, to working on the iOS version of my apps on Mac, I feel like I'm using an aesthetically pleasing toy that just wasn't meant for productivity.

I'm not justifying the war here. I'm merely stating that being Russian-speaking in Ukraine was a lousy deal for a long time. And we're talking about whole regions here, not ordinary families.

Russian speaking people don't need to learn Russian in school (that much) since obviously they already know it. They need to study in Russian because, among other things, this is the tool they already have.

"Regulators will also include an emergency mechanism to force platforms to disclose what steps they are taking to tackle misinformation or propaganda in light of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine."

Banning misinformation like what is happening in Russia, where only the peace keeping, nazi fighting narrative is allowed to be told. I hope we realize banning misinformation is not how you create trust. Being open about uncertainties, discussing why something is misinformation and providing as much data as possible is the only way to create trust.

It depends on two things:

The status quo is close to what you describe. Very few patent applications are not rejected in the first action. I did a quick Google search that indicates that over the entire USPTO, 88% of patent applications are rejected by an examiner in the first action [0]. I myself never allowed an entire application on the first action!

However, it's rare that an attorney will argue that their patent should be issued in court. Almost always they argue with an examiner.

A lot of people here seem to believe that the USPTO issues patents like handing out candy to children, but the reality is that a large fraction of patent applications are never granted. Mistakes happen, yes, but that has more to do with how little time the USPTO gives examiners than anything else. It's really easy to miss something. If you want to improve patent quality, tell your congressmen to increase funding at the USPTO so examiners can get more time. Nothing else will work in my view. Right now the USPTO is funded solely by fees paid by patent applicants, which isn't enough and probably distorts the incentives.

> ABOUT THE ASSET

The history of Listerine brand royalties is one of contract law legend.

In 1879, Dr. JJ Lawrence invented Listerine and in 1881, licensed the secret formula to J.W. Lambert and Lambert Pharmaceutical Co., ultimately settling on a royalty based on the number of ounces sold, to be paid to him and his “heirs, executors, or assigns” for as long as Listerine was sold.

For the next 75 years, the Lawrence family collected these royalties, with the ownership stake splintering between various heirs, some of whom sold portions of their stake to additional owners (such as New York real estate broker John J. Reynolds, who acquired half of the share of these royalties from the Lawrence heirs in 1950).

After Lambert Pharmaceutical merged with Warner-Hudnut in 1955, the newly merged management contested the $1.5 million a year they were paying in royalties in court… a case they famously lost in a decision that remains cited in contract law cases and classes today.

As a result of this decision, the Listerine royalty payments will remain in force for the lifetime of the brand, paid to whoever owns a share. Today, those entities include not only the heirs of the Lawrence family, but also various pension funds, universities, hospitals, and multiple individuals.

If you pushed something to swap, you didn’t have enough RAM to run everything at once. Or you have some serious memory leaks or the like.

If you can take the latency hit to load what was swapped out back in, and don’t care that it wasn’t ready when you did the batch process, then hey, that’s cool.

What I’ve had happen way too many times is something like the ‘colder’ data paths on a database server get pushed out under memory pressure, but the memory pressure doesn’t abate (and rarely will it push those pages back out of swap for no reason) before those cold paths get called again, leading to slowness, leading to bigger queues of work and more memory pressure, leading to doom loops of maxed out I/O, super high latency, and ‘it would have been better dead’.

These death spirals are particularly problematic because since they’re not ‘dead yet’ and may never be so dead they won’t, for instance, accept TCP connections, they defacto kill services in ways that are harder to detect and repair, and take way longer to do so, than if they’d just flat out died.

Certainly won’t happen every time, and if your machine never gets so loaded and always has time to recover before having to do something else, then hey maybe it never doom spirals.

So...with everyone blocking out ads (which I do hate and am pro-ad-blocker), how do journalists get paid? I'd personally rather pay for access to decent journalists (which I do), from numerous different sources.

We aren’t striking Russian forces despite their deliberate targeting of civilians and numerous war crimes. Why would we attack a far more dangerous adversary first? The moral argument is clearly not enough, and we have no defense pact.

We’d risk giving them their Pearl Harbor moment, and facing the carefully directed rage of a 1.4 billion population command economy under single party authoritarian rule.

A reactor powered thermal airship is a fascinating idea! I'm skeptical that it could work though. Some quick web searching suggests that 3 MW burners for hot air balloons is fairly typical. I'm not sure how light and powerful a reactor could be made, but wikipedia says the Convair NB-36H had a 1 MW air-cooled reactor weighing 16,000kg. That reactor definitely wouldn't work then, too heavy by far and not enough power output. But that was a prototype reactor in the 50s.

Also, shielding seems like a big concern even if the reactor can be built light. To stop neutron radiation you need light nuclei like hydrogen, making water or concrete (containing water) popular choices. These are heavy and bulky though, not conducive to airships.

I wonder if it's the Sucralose, a chemical completely unrelated to sucrose(table sugar) and was originally developed as a pesticide. I used Listerine for many years before I developed a severe allergy to Sucralose. It started with the skin inside my mouth peeling slightly, it wasn't painful at all just kind of weird. Eventually I began getting hives and rashes on my hands and arms and slowly it kept getting worse and worse. If I use mouthwash or use toothpaste with Sucralose today I'll have very bad hives all-over hives that'll persist for a couple days. Ingesting any via food/snacks means a week of hives and needs a round of predisone to feel somewhat normal until it's all gone from my system.

> We fly in aluminum balloons filled with jet fuel all the time.

Hydrogen ignites significantly more readily than jet fuel does, and protecting the gigantic volume of an airship's envelope (which is multiple times that of the payload) is a lot harder than protecting a plane's fuel tanks.

Not to mention the airship still need fuel tanks to move around, it's not a captive balloon.
