Apparently the RCID has $2 billion in bonds, which would result in ~$2,200 levy on the residents of Osceola and Orange counties. Further, the RCID district operates at a loss, but that is offset by Disney's profit from the park. Now those losses will become the taxpayer's problem, and Disney will get to pocket the profit. It's also not clear whether the counties are actually able to operate Disney's power, water, EMS, and other services without significant training and additional expenses, given that infrastructure may not conform to what the counties currently operate, or may not conform to their regulatory requirements.

It's important to understand that the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) was established, in part, to ease the logistical and bureaucratic issues that Disney would have to deal with working with two different counties. If the RCID is dissolved, most everything that has infrastructure, legal, or regulatory requirements would have to be handled by both counties, in order to allow the park to have a set of consistent rules and services. (Imagine that Disney could serve alcohol in one half of the park, but not the other, because a liquor license was granted by one county, but not the other. Admittedly, if that were the case, then Disney wouldn't serve alcohol at all, but it illustrates the point.)

Err, it would be pretty easy to shoot down as it would have a radar or visual cross-section that would be pretty big. And if anything flammable is used for lift, it's already an FAE bomb waiting for an igniter.

This wasn't a 1M startup venture that failed.

It was 300M in complete losses. That's a crazy amount of money.
Do you mean on HN or in real elections? In real elections, the situation is actually quite complicated depending on where you live. Specifically:

- Many people vote on paper with hand counting, which is of course not digital.
- Many people vote on paper with machine counting, which is straightforwardly auditable.
- Many people vote on Direct Recording Electronic (touchscreen) machines. Some of these have paper trails which can be audited and some do not.

Some background here on conventional voting systems:
https://educatedguesswork.org/tags/voting/

There has been quite a bit of work on cryptographic voting, but the blockchain feature doesn't really help that much, because the votes are signed and there is a public record of who voted and who did not. The complicated piece is ensuring the votes haven't been tampered with while keeping them secret, but again, the blockchain doesn't help here. The deployment problems around cryptographic voting are largely about endpoint security and user comprehension of what's happening.
> a father who lacks a certain level of natual masculine aggression is going to be percieved as insufficiently powerful, competent, or trustworthy, or lacking in the credibility to help ground a kids personality and identity to fixtures of truth reality. An inability to make Dad jokes would be an example of that.

I don't think dad jokes relate to masculinity that way. I think they are more a display of non-masculinity from someone who is expected to be masculine. In a way they reflect the softening of masculinity that comes with turning your attention away from masculine achievement and towards nurturing. You get less prideful and more goofy; less tuned into adult reality and more tuned into kid reality. Instead of trying to be the most grown up grown-up in the room, you embrace childish thinking so you can meet your kids where they are, and you have so much fun that you decide to keep visiting, say, six-year-old logic even years after your kids have grown out of it. I think that's why people find dad jokes endearing, because they show someone violating the norms of adult (and masculine) dignity for the sake of making their family smile. Unlike other humor, a dad joke doesn't demonstrate intelligence, social dominance, or even much social acuity.

For me, beyond recouping the costs, I think the CDC has demonstrated that it is too tightly coupled with politics [1][2]. I believe that any government body will eventually become constrained by the politics that it exists in and is funded by. I would, naively, claim that funding more neutral researchers/companies would provide better resistance to the politics of it all.

As a counter argument, it would be easy to claim that the pharmaceutical companies are too tightly coupled to politicians. Perhaps this still results in greater efficiency, for now?

I'd say if it's timely content, e.g. you have a stream of comments flowing from the server to the client on a livestream then doing it all in JS is warranted, but the content has poor long-term value and indexing is pointless. Conversely if it's comments on Reddit, you can do any number of things that stop short of rendering everything in JS and I don't think your users will even notice.

I think the overarching theme is that you end up having to think about these things: if it was clear-cut we wouldn't even be having these discussions. Do you want to think about wiring event handlers to DOM elements rendered on the server or about how your JSX renders on the server vs browser? A similar conundrum exists in mobile development, do you want to be thinking about implementing everything twice in standalone iOS and Android apps or do you want to think about how to get Xamarin/ReactNative/Flutter to do the thing you want.

OpenBSD expects that its users will look up and apply solutions.

They do not have a goal to be a mainstream OS.

Operations/watt, which is a function of power efficiency (i.e. how many floating point tera-ops can you do in 1 second), is the primary driving performance criteria and engineering metric for all modern desktop, server, and mobile platforms. There is almost no metric which matters more when it comes to high performance compute.

That said, Apple isn't going to sell chips these to anyone else, period. And everyone right now is hustling to match the same levels of efficiency in newer designs, and they'll get there sooner or later. So "Apple Servers" are a completely moot point, but power efficiency? Yes, it literally matters more than ever, across every spectrum of the industry, and it's why the M1 was something people cared about anyway.

Yes, indeed, there's always some portion of a saint (or something having touched a saint) in the altar, stemming from the early days of the Roman church when, during Roman persecutions, the church would hold Mass/Divine Liturgy over the bodies of martyrs in the catacombs.

However, most churches don't have full bodies anymore, for obvious reasons. However, when the altar is stripped (for example on Good Friday). If you were invited into the sanctuary... you would be able to see a stone, on which there is inscribed several crosses. Under each cross is a relic, set into the stone. The priest consecrates bread / wine over the stone.

In terms of provenance... you can't sell a relic, but most monasteries, shrines, the Vatican, or other places that have burial records, will provide relics upon request, if available. Orders keep careful details of their martyrs and saints. So for example, a Dominican parish will often ask a Dominican priory with burials of a Dominican saint for a relic. We have indeed even entered the modern age where some monasteries / priories / convents even let priests request relics online!
> the support for him is cult like

Don’t think for a moment that he does not pay a team of promotionists. Every public forum is monitored and “influenced.” He is not a completely stupid person and he obviously understands social media. Of course many of those in this very thread that argue against those who say “bad things” about Musk are being engaged by his paid mouthpieces. It is very much in his best interests to spend pocket change amounts to counter all criticism. It is absurd to think otherwise.

If this is using UV, how does it avoid sunburning the retina if looked at? Sunburn is pretty bad as people can attest to. When I did experiments in uni, lining up emitter tubes in front of spectrometers made nice vertical tans on my nose...
100% agree.

In a situation where a bunch of memory is being used by something that is literally not needed and won’t be needed in a hurry, then it’s not a big deal.

In my experience though, it’s just a landmine waiting to explode, and someone will touch it and bam useless and often difficult to fix machine, usually at the most inconvenient time. But I also don’t keep things running that aren’t necessary.

If someone puts swap on something with sufficiently high performance, then obviously this is less of a concern too. Have a handful of extra NVMe or fast SSD lying around? Then ok.

I tend to be using those already though for other things (and sometimes maxing those out, and if I am, almost always when I have max memory pressure), so meh.

I’ve had better experience having it fail early and often so I can fix the underlying issue.
Depending on which numbers you plug in, the bidders seem to be evaluating it about where you'd expect. It's presumably pretty low risk but not risk free, it's presumably fairly liquid but it's a rather unusual asset, and it presumably tracks inflation pretty well. Add all that together and I certainly expect better than essentially risk free, highly liquid investments but not outrageously so.
Well, that comes down to what you think a server is. macOS is definitely unix, and can run server software. You can do that on that rackmount mac. So what makes it not a server?

I view time as money, so yes.

I'm not convinced you could flip it for a profit quickly (taking in capital gains) and like property... there is a history of sales. You'd have to wait a period of time (>1 years) before selling it again, you'd never really realize that 7.5%.

As a safe counter example, for less money, I bought a condo in a popular beach community with low inventory and a lot of short term rentals. In the last year the property value has increased by a solid 23%. I could have also rented it out for revenue.
I believe weaponized drone swarms should be categorized with chemical weapons, cluster munitions, etc. A few thousand drones carrying shrapnel explosives and trained to recognize humans is basically a mobile minefield. It’s terrifying, really. I expect they will be used heavily if WW3 comes around, with devastating effect. Much like horse mounted cavalry encountering machine guns for the first time at the beginning of WW1. I’m not a weapons expert, so I could be wrong, but it seems so cheap and practical I can’t think of a scenario where it doesn’t happen eventually.

I'd say France is even weirder. Called after the Franks, a Germanic people. The French consider themselves Gaullic but they call themselves Germanic:)

How do you equate "freedom of speech" with "publishing Musk's physical location in real time" ?

In general we have laws against tracking individuals.

What he does seems legal but it doesn't make it good or ethical.

FAA didn't create a plane tracking system so that a kid can put this info on a map in real time. It's a legitimate security risk for those planes and people who use them. It's an abuse of the system.

Even if you just look at the current layers offered by Kubernetes there are a lot of rough edges and footguns. It’s so fantastic and yet so terrible at the same time. Put simply, someone need to make a simpler, yet equally powerful, kubernetes.

That’s only considering basic usage of deploying stuff on top of an existing cluster. Hosting your own cluster is even worse and one of the reasons cloud offerings are still so popular. If anything can kill cloud it will be a one click get kubernetes in your onprem rack, no config required. Just pass in the credentials and boom, all the nodes in the network just magically join and everything works, including all the often cloud-coupled stuff like ingress controllers. Operationally it need to be as easy as, or easier than, self hosted linux+ansible and deployments need to be more powerful than docker-compose.
Remember when someone famously said 640kb of memory ought to be enough for anybody?

Imagine if video games' audio/video just stopped improving past the SNES. Imagine if we decided that 56k dialup was good enough. Imagine if we stopped improving cell phone cameras past the iPhone 3G. These things seem pretty low quality now because we've incrementally built so many better things in the interim. The unleaded gasoline of today is going to be as absurd as the leaded gasoline of yesterday within many our lifetimes. But we can't make big leaps without the interim nudges forward - the N64, the DOCSIS cable modem, modern phone cameras, hybrid vehicles. To do those, we need better microchips.

We also need more of them. Just because the richest areas of the world have theirs doesn't mean the less-well-off areas need to be shut out because they didn't get in on time.
Thinking about this in terms of the circle of fifths, there's a lot of representation of the keys that are from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock, keys C, G, D, A, respectively. I think if you looked at jazz standards from the Real Books, you'd see a different histogram, stressing the keys Eb, Bb, F, C.

A lot of Western music centers around a tonal center, and then rocks back and fourth on the circle of fifths between IV and V. A lot of pop tunes these days add the vi, further to the right on circle of fifths.

In contrast, jazz music tends the move down in fourths a lot, so you see ii-V7-I all over the place, a lot of vi-ii-V7-I, and a sometimes a iii-vi-ii-V7-I. All of these progressions just start some place on the circle of fifths, and then go counter-clockwise until they reach the intended tonal center.
Thanks, will do. Will also try other browsers myself and see if there is any difference.

You have a rather sophisticated analysis here, yet, you left out the most important factor: risk. Something that every sophisticated investor must take into account. And in the case of your personal residence, you have to take into account not only investment risk, market risk and interest rate risk (which you alluded to re: refinancing, but you left out the fact that you are not guaranteed to be able to refinance and even when you do, there are fees associated), but you also have the risk of losing your home and being homeless. For many people, the latter risk is assigned a very high rate, so I don't think it is as simple (or complicated) as you make it out to be.

This will be very opinionated, but ... when I'm working with linux, I need to google stuff around, because there are no [,usable] manpages. Sure, it's easy, everybody just loves to google their stack traces to find solutions ... BSD is boring, it just work. And from my experience, OpenBSD was acting like an apprentice, when I was setting something up. It handed me the tools or configs at the moment I needed them. Everything is there at arms reach. If you know what you're doing, the system is helping you. Need config file? - there's one in /etc/examples!

The old saying goes like "Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." I don't think I need to tell you, but do your testing before you switch over your production.

I've played with BSD4.3 in SIMH couple weeks ago and was surprised that I can use it!

ad 3: I've had an argument with security guys forcing minimum password length couple months ago. Somehow they just couldn't understand that I don't have passwords at all and use SSH keys.

Because, unlike most businesses, Disney's park straddles two different counties (Orange and Osceola). Therefore, they have to deal with two different counties to get anything done in a consistent fashion. Further, by having control of their own infrastructure, they can control the standard of quality. Pass that to two different counties, and some of the differences between how the counties are managed will start to affect Disney's business. Image part of the park losing power due to one county deferring maintenance on their power grid, etc.

Part of the "magic" of Disney is that they get to control the experience from road maintenance to providing power to the park. Now that control will move to the counties with no guarantee that they will continue to provide that infrastructure to the same standard as Disney currently does.

Honest question, what would be the outcome in terms of chip manufacturing ability if China didn't invade Taiwan, but just decided to level the whole island with an eye towards repopulating later with Chinese nationals?

ESPN+ is so annoying. It used to be that you could watch anything streaming but not broadcast on cable with a cable login, but they moved most of that content to ESPN+. For example in the early Australian Open rounds you could watch matches on smaller courts with a cable login, but now you have to pay for ESPN+ for this even if you have a cable login.
