It was Maj Gen John Herr:

"In 1945 Herr wrote that conversion of cavalry to armor was a mistake, an act of "robbing Peter to pay Paul": expansion of armor was necessary, but not at the expense of horse units."

...

"even in 1942 he still struggled for the horse, requesting Marshall for "an immediate increase in horse cavalry."

...

"He enforced a formal policy that any increase in mechanized forces must be preceded by a proportional increase in horse cavalry; as a result the 7th Cavalry Brigade remained the only mechanized unit until 1940. Later, he had to admit the rising power of armor, but was just as unwilling to dismount his troops.

After the outbreak of World War II Herr followed the European campaigns through attaché reports that reinforced his belief in superiority of cavalry tactics. His chief of staff Willis D. Crittenberger pre-screened these reports and jotted "cavalry mission" in the margins to attract Herr's attention.[16] Herr's own interpretation of the intelligence was biased in favor of the horse. He believed that the Wehrmacht relied on horses because of German operational doctrine when, in fact, it was a purely economic decision.[6] He wrote that other Western European armies dismissed the horse because of shrinking horse and forage stocks; the American situation, according to Herr was more akin to Poland or the Soviet Union, which still kept sizable horse formations.[15] He assessed blitzkrieg as a "typical cavalry mission" and suggested expanding the 7th Cavalry Brigade along German panzer division standards, under full Cavalry control.[17] The proposal, delivered at the War College in September 1939, was bundled with the demand that new armored units should be formed from scratch rather than converted from horse troops.

In the first half of 1940 Herr embraced the concept of "horse-mechanized formations" and called for expansion of cavalry brigades into divisions. He alienated George Marshall by insisting that mechanization should be an expansion of existing cavalry troops, rather than their replacement.[19] He publicly rallied for more horse units through Cavalry Journal publications,[15] and brought further tension inside his troops by asking each cavalry officer to choose his side: either for horse cavalry, or for mechanization. According to Bruce Palmer Jr., the request forced officers of all grades to "cut their throats professionally": they had to bet their careers on obsolete war technology, or risk immediate repercussions from their Chief."

What they didn’t tell you in the article is that a lot of householdings in Oslo use firewood to keep their houses warm during the cold season.

People unloading firewood from their Tesla X/Audi e-tron is a usual sight in Oslo.
By industry consideration, you mean the new york times? Seems they just reviewed a few linkedin profiles and chose that word.

They’re calling them “carbon offsets” now, to avoid future legal issues.
Great retort. The point Socrates was trying to make is you cannot interrogate writing. It's a single snapshot in thinking that only tells one story.
> They don't just provide free labor, they also go to bat for Google's reputation, acting as marketing and PR liaisons to prevent backlash from users who've been failed by their official support processes.

This is so true. When I try to find a fix for some broken behavior in a major Google app the most common place I end up is a support forum with zero solution, no comment from any Google employee, and a volunteer support person saying how the defect isn't actually a problem but that you should submit feedback within the app.

These volunteers can't be helping at this point. Google's disdain for users is pretty widely recognized by now and seeing a whole bunch of frustrated users being blown off yet again doesn't help.
No sexual crisis in the west.

But there is a reproduction crisis.

We have gobs and gobs of sex. What we usually don't have are gobs and gobs of children. Whether that's good or bad I think reasonable people can debate.
Abortions can be easily avoided if people didn't have unprotected sex with people they don't wish to raise a family with. They had complete control over their body and who they shared it with but just don't want to deal with any of the consequences of it, I find it all very sad.
Windows 11 currently has no trouble running or updating on my Sandy Bridge MacBook Pro[1]. Not only does the machine have no TPM whatsoever, it's booting Windows 11 in BIOS mode because its firmware doesn't properly initialize the GPU when booting Windows in UEFI mode.

To install Windows 11 for BIOS boot, I replaced the install.wim image on Windows 10 BIOS-compatible boot media with the analogous image from a Windows 11 ISO.

I also used Thunderbolt target disk mode to run the first installation stage under VMware Fusion on another Mac because the MacBook Pro's firmware wouldn't boot Windows USB installation media in BIOS mode, but this would presumably not be required if I'd had recordable DVD media on hand at the time.

Note that I say "currently" because there's obviously no guarantee that Microsoft won't break Windows on older hardware in an update, so I'm not relying on this install for anything critical.

I’ve read where they study reforestation and it’s a whole process where ‘pioneer species’ pave the way to ‘proper’ forest plants.

Probably read about it in the Humbolt State Alumni magazine since they clear-cut the hell out of the redwoods in the ‘80s and HSU has* a really good forestry department that studies these sorts of things.

* had? They’re now a ‘polytechnic’ so don’t know what to call them anymore — Cal Poly Humboldt maybe?
I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia policy specifically, but most likely, if you start out by creating the article in your user space (User:$yourUsername/whatever or Special:MyPage/whatever, Special:MyPage will redirect you to User:$yourUsername, including subpages) then that version won't get touched, user sandboxes on most wikis are exactly that and kinda your own space.
Guess we'd better hop in the time machine and go back to 1950 to start the American equivalent of Mondragon to preemptively destroy Amazon before Bezos is even born, then.
Oh god the nausea that'd induce..
> "If I don't participate in this economy I'll be homeless, so I have to by Gillette mach 20 disposable plastic razor cartridges."

More like: "I want to get a job, the employer requires me to not look homeless so I have to shave my face, which means I have to buy a razor, but I've never heard of double bladed razors, or seen them being offered for sale and every store I can access that sells razors only sells plastic razors with disposable plastic razor cartridge so that's what I'll buy"

If you're lucky enough to have heard of a better alternative, and you have the means to get it, you should, but unless nearly everyone has the means, opportunity, and then does that thing, it will never force stores to change how they stock shelves.
For safety, selecting arguments distinguished only by choice of two letters adjacent on the most common keyboard layout seems unwise.
If we do one dishwasher load a day, that is 42.5 minutes saved a year. I value my time at around $150 an hour, which means unless the pods cost me more than $100 extra a year, the trade off is worth it.
What was the article title?
My feelings are bit of a mix bag, some of the complaints I would agree, but some of them seem to be either employee or more likely media exaggeration.

I have no respect or trust of "main stream" media so the reporting on the issue has me questioning what the reality on the ground really is, and the reality from people experienced in working at other warehouses.

Google already has similar signals:

1. Do you click on the link in the results page?

2. After clicking on that link, do you go back to the search or not?

3. How long do you stay there before coming back?

Adding an explicit up/downvote would capture some additional information, but it would overlap with the above, and most users would ignore the button. I’d guess Google has at some point experimented with this and found it wasn’t worth keeping.
"tank" seems like a very headline (and tweet) friendly word.

I can imagine similar nerd discussions for some of those.

(Interesting to note the only one that seems longer than the usual term is replacing 'strike').
You are confusing capitalism with market economies. The primary goal in capitalism is the accumulation of capital and that obviously requires endless economic and population growth. If there are less people, the need for additional capital decreases which means there is less capital to accumulate.

Capitalism is effectively an insane economic framework where the yield on capital is not allowed to become negative as that would go against the ultimately empty goal of capital accumulation.

If you consider capitalism to be a form of universal exchange then why exactly does the division of labor collapse the moment growth stops? Oh right, because capitalism and free(=freedom) markets are mutually exclusive. The interests of those who own and want to accumulate capital override those who want to exchange goods and participate in the division of labor, that is what a depression is.
This criticism seems unfair.

There is nothing wrong with semi-supervised learning.
"... that nobody can ever remember."

Perhaps it comes down to what programs one uses routinely. Typing "tar xzf" multiple times per week I am unlikely to ever forget it.
> Let's adjust the statement a bit. It's overrated. Still phenomenal compared to alcohol -- which is one of the weakest drugs per unit mass or volume. Literally only 2% of blood ethanol gets to the brain, so most of what folks drink is actually performing organ damage, not CNS effects.

Most people don’t consume alcohol because of its efficiency. If they did, they’d be doing everclear shots or boofing it. They wouldn’t be mixing cocktails, aging whisky for decades, or pairing wines with food.

Weed as a drug isn’t “phenomenal” compared to alcohol, unless you ignore most of the reasons people drink.
haha, sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy. someone says they like php and you think "wow this person sucks"
I don't think that this is actually true-- other than the ICRC, the small number of Canadian advisors at the beginning of the war, the small number of Canadian peacekeepers at the end, the extensive number of Canadian volunteers for US military service, and the employees of Canadian defense companies that travelled to Vietnam to support US equipment. There were also some humanitarian civilian missions.

There's tons of newspapers, etc, online from this period. It's hard to believe that no primary nor secondary source would have survived of what you're describing.
No offense, as long as the titles match what is used in English media (for English wikipedia) and even lists other common names in the lede, then that's fine. Also redirect from other known names. Being offended by lack of content is one thing, being offended by a different title than you expect is a bit much.
So I've been studying WW1 a lot recently and part of the problem that resulted in the mass slaughters early in the war we're the result of many of the technological advances in warfare not being tested at any significant scale forany years prior to the war.

I've been wondering what it will be like when the next big war hits and what are the technologies that will change the battle field that haven't been considered yet and drones are on of the biggest changes I think we'll see on the modern battlefield the next time two sizeable opponents go at it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head for part of it is the ability of drones to take out tanks is going to be huge, tanks are expensive, bulky and hard to conceal and have limited visibility and range. They are going to be sitting ducks for cheap drones.

As an aside everytime I read about the description of the battleships of WW1 I can't help but think of the fighter and stealth planes of our current era, massive expensive constructions who require a massive supply chain in terms of men and equipment to be effective, can only be deployed in specific situations and are championed by an officers core that doesn't realize their time has passed. After all what good does having general air superiority do for you if any random platoon can establish temporary tatical air superiority by hauling around a drone with em to complete their mission and bugger off while your Fighter is just taking off 500 miles away.
Thats such a good idea. Or just a youtube channel where people walk dow the street like that and perform basic errands / tasks. Driving would be interesting too.
> even OP is annoyed at _journalists_ confusing tanks and similar armored vehicles

Never mind journalists, how about the German ambassador to the United States?

Although as the OP suggests, maybe less of the confusion and more of the deliberate misdirection.

I am currently designing an UI framework in rust and I took a similar approach. It is intended for medical monitoring systems. I should be able zo open source it at some point. But for now, all I can say is that this approach seems the way to go.

Pedestrian accidents can be easily avoided if people didn’t try to cross the street. Would you advocate banning medical aid to pedestrians? Because that’s your reasoning above.
There is no implentation of capitalism that will ever be unproblematic. No amount of bandaids is going to solve the fact that capital yields can be both positive and negative. When looked at it from this perspective, capitalism is a race to an end goal, not a goal in itself but once people are at the finish line, they don't want the race to finish.
> Right-wingers worry about people who'd be alive 6-9 months from now and thus want to stop abortions.

No, they want to constrain medical decisions to reduce what they see as unacceptable promiscuity. They will generally confirm this to you if you ask them to.
> Spreading seeds from the air you're basically spreading bird food. Successful trees need the seeds to be planted under the earth.

Basically all tree seeds are spread by air, except perhaps ones that travel though an animal and get "planted" in droppings. Trees don't usually have seed drills.

To be fair, the germination rate of the average tree seed is probably in the millionths, which is why they make so many.
Surely they’re just badly explaining that it has a bit of “potting soil” to give it a better chance to grow.
Xdebug is great for... debugging!
It has a huge footprint and your metrics just don't mean anything.

Btw, the concept of altering the result of what you are observing by the fact of observing itself doesn't remind you of Schroedinger's cat?

few randoms thoughts on this.
yeah but if everyones friends don't live close by then everyone is always out visitng far away friends. we're forever stuck in the cycle.

also it's way easier to say no to someone online, (as people are lazy and don't feel like going out right now) vs a friend showing up and being like lets go do this fun thing #insert peer pressure here#.

also clear work life boundaries are super important. i treat work as if i were in the office, once i leave i ain't checking it until i start againt tomorrow.
also no slack or email on my personal devices, eww.

Yes, people still underestimate the value of single core perf and overestimate the value over multi core perf.

In practise: what matters to users of these devices is web browsing performance (which is still mostly a single core job - perhaps a second core can be practical in some browser/OS combos).
I think the person you were replying to is pointing out, no one NEEDS the giant gun when they can buy 20 drones that each can take out what the giant gun can, AND a tank for what a tank costs.

The drone can just fly around the concrete wall and blow up the things on the other side, it doesn’t need to go through.

Drones aren’t going to change warfare. They already have. The ones who haven’t woken up to that are the charred bodies on the battlefield right now.
Tbh I’ve seen people argue things along these lines.
Bench Dog protectors with the built-in ear plugs, plus 3M muffs. I have pretty bad tinnitus from my musician days and spending too long listening to the drummer pound as hard as he can "because he just wants to be heard."

When I hit a nail in some salvage wood, or the moisture was a little higher than I estimated, I want to know about it before it becomes a problem. You can feel the slip, and hear the fence creak on the saw long before you get a kickback. Only ever once had a kickback because someone distracted me as I was cutting.

The rule in the workshop is: You don't talk or call to the guy operating any kind of machine or power tool, even handheld. You get in clear line of sight, and wait for him to acknowledge you. You don't signal or wave or point.
Peloton is a New York company. What is MSM smoking?

I get it- “Silicon Valley” is a label generating a halo of context that it’s about tech. But it’s only sort of about tech. NBC News is just as much of a tech company as Peloton is, they publish content on an internet platform to subscribers. It’s really “less money washing into more-frivolous things” story.

>It's what drives industries towards monopoly today. It's not about having the biggest, most productive steel mill. It's about establishing market dominance so you don't have to compete on price. Or on wages.

Might one call it, perhaps, "the highest stage of capitalism" ;-)?

Beyond the joke, I do often find myself thinking that the oligopoly and rentier tendencies described by terms like "neo-feudalism" are pretty much just the things designated by the old Marxist usage of "imperialism". But then the problem is that "imperialism" has been watered down into "everything your local sectarian Marxist group doesn't like."
Yeah, so then we're looking at a person who is so adept at everything that they single-handedly can outperform society in providing necessary functions for other people. If that sort of person exists, they're surely rare enough that it makes no sense to optimise society around them.
Umm… Yeah. I initially wanted to disagree, but then I think about obscenity laws in the USA, and it makes sense. This is similar to people not truly believing in Democracy. They only believe in it when they’re winning.
What the Inclusionists seem to miss is the fact that an encyclopedia isn't The Hitchhiker's Guide or Angelfire, and that every page on the site incurs ongoing volunteer time to patrol for vandalism and corrections. Also, the idea that maybe it's OK if everyone doesn't edit Wikipedia pages; maybe some people should write secondary sources rather than tertiary ones.
USA with maybe Canada, is rather special case. In general other countries around the world are more or less ethnic, or at least have be big ethnic groups and somewhat shared cultures.

I feel like asymmetric VR experiences, reality and perception distortion (tea for god), and stuff like this (I guess this is technically symmetric but flipped?) are under explored in VR and most VR games just follow a formula of take FPS game and make it VR. Please make this, although it could be nausea inducing.
From the website:

Q: Why a subscription? A: Because lifetime pricing is not sustainable. We know there are similar apps with lifetime pricing out there, but it doesn't work for long-running business. The sustainability is crucial especially for note-taking apps because you will store a lot of notes in them day by day.

Q: $5 per month is too expensive. A: It is for professional use, not targeted to the mass of people. We believe it would improve your productivity worth more than $5. This is the price we would pay as a user.

Q: If lowered the pricing, you would get more customers. A: We would like to provide good, quick and warm user support. If we got a lot of users, we won't be able to support them all.
Is what makes this a "P2P" VPN--as opposed to merely VPN software that you might choose to use between peers (such as Wireguard)--that it supports the group/"community" network behavior? When you do that, are you building a fully-connected overlay network--where everyone has a separate WebRTC link to each of the other participants--or are you building some kind of organized P2P network topology out of the participants?

(Note: I work on Orchid, a decentralized market for bandwidth built on Ethereum and WebRTC, which has a multi-hop-capable VPN client for various platforms available.)
