The Nazis planned to use similar suicide tactics with a manned version of their V-1 cruise missile. They built and flew prototypes, but Hitler was persuaded to drop the project before it was put to use.

Formalized suicide attack programs with purpose-built hardware are chilling to think about, but there is also a broader class of suicide attacks that include impromptu decisions and last resorts which seem easier to understand. On both sides of WW2, there are cases of pilots trying to crash into the enemy after realizing their fate was sealed anyway. This may have happened with an American B-26 at the Battle of Midway, and one of the Japanese pilots who attacked Pearl Harbor apparently announced his intention to do this before the battle (in both cases they missed their target.)

This is certainly not "shipping people's contact lists off to a third party". Is there somewhere else this is happening or are you mistaken?
It’s starting to. Remember that bridge in Pittsburgh that spontaneously collapsed? I’m sure there are many other lesser known examples.
I mean, of those 6, one (the 22nd) was passed as a response to the functionally one-party rule by FDR and new-deal dems in the 30s and 40s. Two (the 24th and 26th) were voting rights amendments that were functionally extensions of the 15th amendment, you know...one of the post-civil war amendments. And one (the 25th) was passed after the president was assassinated. One (the 27th) is a very popular idea with bipartisan support, and it still took 200 years to ratify.

I'd also reiterate that social factors have changed, we're currently in the longest break between amendments being passed since reconstruction. None have been passed in my lifetime, and the same group that says we should interpret the constitution extremely strictly is also the one that says that it's perfect as is and we should respect it and the founders great insights. That's not a recipe for changing it.

> Ideally we'd see less of "judges rule without interpreting it strictly,"

That's, just, like, your opinion, man. By which I mean that originalism isn't the only school of thought in regards to the constitution. By the time you've succeeded in convincing people that it is okay to change the constitution, you'll have also convinced them that interpreting it less strictly. Saying it's a living document but not a living constitution is an impossibly hard needle to thread.

And that's doubly true when "should the document be changed" itself becomes a political question, which it has. Something like 20-30% of the US will vote for people on a platform of "I will oppose any constitutional amendment". That's enough to block ratification!

Detroit is a shrinking city, and has been for 70 years. Cities can really only afford to maintain everything if they keep growing, staying flat isn't enough either. A lot of people don't care about a pedestrian bridge. A lot of politicians don't really care about something unless it helps them get reelected. Or put another way, unless something bad happens while they are in office they can kick the can down the road, maintenance is boring and can be put off for decades in many cases without an emergency. So a pedestrian bridge is on the bottom of a long list

Also most 70 year old concrete bridges are fine, even as they go past their original designed lifespan with deferred maintenance. But an increasing number of concrete bridges will need major refurbishment or to be replaced entirely. Something like 40% of bridges in the US are past their original lifespan

I think you should try playing people instead of bots. I'm 1100 but can beat the 1500 bots (not necessarily easily, but about 1/3 of the time). The problem with the bots is they are rated by just throwing in a random blunder every once in a while (which is what humans do too, but usually the bots are a bit more apparent about it).
It's funny but up here in Canada employees cost companies a lot less overhead to employ than in the states. Not the bear minimum overhead, mind you, the states is by far the cheapest place to be able to call someone "your employee" without offering any benefits but if you're actually paying for healthcare, life insurance and the like Canadian per employee costs come in quite a bit under those in the US.

It's almost like skimping on common human decency social services isn't actually saving anyone any money and just serves to perpetuate a gigantic industry of health insurers and pharmaceutical companies.

And thanks for a charitable understanding of the "covid baby" idea: obviously "all babies right now are covid babies" so this is a comparison of "pre-covid" vs "now" (and that early on, that line was much blurrier).
It's a pain to write all that boilerplate, I agree. I don't think it's bloat though - I've been doing rust for a few years now, and when I revisit old mostly forgoten code, I love that boilerplate. I rarely have to do any puzzling about how to infer what from the current file, it's just all right there for me.

I feel this way about all the verbosity in rust - some of it could likely be inferred, but but having it all written down right where it is relevant is great for readability.
In 2012 I did Andrew's original machine learning course, and implemented a bespoke OCR engine for iOS, which was released in a banking app for scanning utility bills. Back then deep learning was just taking up, so I did my own backprop training in Matlab based on Andrew's code as well. It was a pretty fun end-to-end experience, much better than just throwing stuff at tensorflow like we do nowadays.

Which, anecdotally, has not been true for myself or any of my colleagues (barring the ol' job switch raise). Wage stagnation is an extremely common problem in many countries and industries. Those that have gotten or negotiated for raises aren't getting raises that account for the record-setting inflation (at least in my country, which is seeing the highest rates of inflation in 30+ years)

I second this - while both are great courses, I found I could only dedicate very short amounts of time recently to any kind of study, and going from the ground-up more thoroughly seemed like I was making no progress. The fast.ai top down approach worked a bit better for me for those reasons, otherwise it would have been interesting starting with the deep dive.
> Texas, Indiana, Washington State and the District of Columbia filed separate suits against Google in January in state courts over what they called deceptive location-tracking practices that invade users’ privacy. // [Texas Attorney General] Paxton's filing adds Google’s Incognito mode to the lawsuit[: ... "]Google deceptively collects an array of personal data even when a user has engaged Incognito mode"

The article is quite short, as typical of CNA - but the informational content does not exceed much the above abridgement.

The website of the Texas Attorney General offers slightly more details in a summary,

> This is General Paxton’s fifth lawsuit against Google, and in it Texas argues that the company misled consumers by tracking their personal location without consent, and in many cases continued to track them after the feature was disabled by users, all of which constitute a violation of the Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act. While Texas consumers were under the impression they were not being tracked, Google continued to use their private location information to boost company profits. The State now alleges that Google’s representations that users can avoid having their internet search and activity history recorded by using Incognito Mode are similarly misleading

I don't understand this statement:

> One could come up with various explanations, including lobbying by big sugar, but it falls flat when you consider that the sugar industry is only a small fraction of the industrialized food industry, there’s plenty of lobbying and influence to go around.

Are you saying that the sugar industry would be lobbying against larger industries with opposing goals? Or are you saying the sugar industry is just one of several industries who would like to use their money to push the blame around?

I am not well versed in the agricultural industry, but doesn't the majority of our mass produced sugar come from the corn industry which is absolutely massive and will obviously do anything it can to protect its sources of income (sugar, ethanol, alcohol, oil, etc.)?

I used to use Caddy in the v1 days, but after some really unfortunately licensing decisions (which I think were reverted ultimately), I felt burned and stopped using it. It was my go-to for static site serving containers for a while, but because some of the time I need to make what they considered "commercial" ones (work related), I couldn't any longer. And it was handled really poorly in my recollection, with some random sponsor header injection. I decided that nginx on a slim distro container is more than fine most of the time.
It was many things, but I personally think what started the dominoes rolling was actually Python.

MySQL got popular because it was the database of choice on PHP, while on Python that was Postgres (via psycopg2).

If the database of choice for Python wasn't Postgres, Heroku likely would stick with MySQL.

There were also other things that contributed to it, like for example purchase of Sun by Oracle and then stalling MySQL development.
> if you had never heard of picasso before and just passed this same image, maybe as graffiti on the street, would it have had a similar impact on you?

Probably not as big, but I think it would have some kind of impact. I've certainly seen "street" art that impressed me greatly, as compared with simple scrawling of initials or similar.

I don't think you can really divorce art from its creator and your knowledge of the history behind it, unless you have no previous knowledge of the artist at all.

In this case, yes, the context around it, his age etc. definitely colored my experience of it.

I think part of this comes down to: Does your Rust code make heavy use of generics? I find myself deliberately avoiding generics and libraries that use them, due to the complexity they add. Not just syntactic noise, but complicated APIs that must be explicitly documented; rust Doc is ineffective with documenting what arguments are accepted in functions and structs that use generics.

See also: Async.
I did (old versions of) both of these and liked both. What I liked about the top-down approach of fast.ai is that it worked the way I approach working with other programming systems. You have a thing you want to do and APIs that promise to do that thing for you, and you plug them together. Then you decide you want to change it from the default behavior, so you tweak the parameters, then you need to learn why they're set up the way they are, and how they work, etc.

Similarly, when I learned web development with Rails over a decade ago, I didn't start by building an HTTP stack. I started by doing the build-a-blog-in-fifteen-minutes tutorial. Now I had a working project. Eventually I needed to learn all of the underlying technologies, but it's much easier and more rewarding to have something running first.
I was actually almost better working at Amazon (2001-2006) where you got a door desk and they penny pinched everything and there was no enforced fun bullshit.

Amazon of course took it way too far and did things where they couldn't figure out how to find the money to get Apple laptops for devs (circa 2003) because they'd cost $100 more a seat and if 5,000 devs want them, that'd be half a million dollars! (to make $750M of dev salary at the time happy).
Sure, it's entirely a coincidence that both https://github.com/brickbots/framedeck/ and https://github.com/penk/MainboardTerminal published 10 days ago, and they're both referenced in this framework announcement. Convenient for Framework that those two projects came out right before their upgrade launch!

But I don't just have my own innate cynicism to go on here! The framedeck project write-up actually contains this disclosure:

As they were preparing this documentation release, they emailed me to see if I'd be interested in a collaboration of sorts. They would provide one of their laptops and some additional modules for me to build something unique with the only condition being that I released the designs for public use.

Which is fine! This is earned media - Framework got some people to make and open source some cool designs. I wasn't sure, last week, why they were doing that now in particular. Now I know why they're pushing that angle, and it makes sense.

Goodness, people are touchy.
Nim accomplishes memory safety using a garbage collector. That's pretty dissimilar to rust and more comparable to go or D.

How do you do that without making it inaccessible to poor people?

This is a fairy tale though. Commuter rails are mass transit, people wind up crammed into standing room only, there's absolutely never room to relax or unwind or get work done on a laptop.

I'm not sure how you could make your plan a reality without in making transit less available for poorer people.

Ah yes, "what kind of meaningful data is passed besides the most important concept in the language?"

Also, the ownership mode, a concept entirely missing from Kotlin or Scala.

As GP says, Rust's syntax is pretty noisy, but much of the noise is answers to questions other languages don't even ask.

And many complains are requests for additional noise for things which are just regular in Rust, like additional syntactic sugar for Option and Result.

> What are the practical implications for internet users and infrastructure maintainers?

There are technical implications on routing and "what is on the internet" vs "connected to the internet" (the difference between having an address vs a NAT gateway for access).

But for India specifically, the difference is more political & specifically for the internal cloud infra land.

IPv4 was "sold & bought" during the era when US and Europe controlled who got how much.

See the xkcd for an idea of the distribution - https://xkcd.com/195/

If you are a up&coming cloud provider in India, you definitely have a scarcity of ipv4 addresses you can hand out to your customers - you can hand out ipv6 addresses no problem, but if people's devices are on ipv4, then this is behind the scenes and needs a fair amount of complexity.

You can do several tricks on the hosting side with DNS and SNI (so thousands of domain names can map to a group of 10-15 IP addresses and the loadbalancer can use the SNI to route the connections to the right internal ipv6).

So IPv6 adoption for cellphones for instance is not really important for the clients on phones, but it really matters if you want to build out a cloud infra stack hosted in India by a provider (like Reliance) who doesn't own enough ipv4 ranges to scale up things.
Nice to hear that you share our vision on full data stack re-use/control. Thanks for the pointer on the license shorthand; never looked at it like that.
