It may not have been tanks on the ground, but that is small consolation for those blown to bits - even still today due to unexploded ordnance.

It also led to outsized inflation (which contributed to the out of control inflation in the early 80's, along with the increase in other military spending to 'fight the cold war') and cost an inflation adjusted $1 trln dollars.

The US wasn't broke, but it contributed to the giant inflation spike that then had to be tamped down with sky high fed fund rates. It wasn't without impact.
I'm not sure of the exact value of the median home in CA, but I think it may still be less than $1M (hopefully).

Whereas rent for that Bay Area home is how many thousands per year? Probably $60k-100k, and not subject to a 2% annual increase? $12.5k is an absolute steal.

Makes me think that we should have greater estate taxes. Maybe limit inheritance to 5x the median annual income in the area or something like that. Capitalism does not function well when wealth becomes a caste system.

I had the Intellivision computer ( keyboard component) when I was a kid. We loved the intellivision but the “add on computer” was truly awful. It had a couple interesting games though.

This is amazing and something I’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

I kept nodding to myself and saying “OMG, yes!” in my head to every topic in your site. You hit the nail in the head and I hope you add Node, Rails, Python, etc someday.

However, my perception is that this won’t be open source, right? If so, I understand that money needs to be made but I don’t see myself relying on another closed source tool, unfortunately. Maybe there can be an open source business model? Just my random 2 cents.

Congratulations on identifying a pain point so precisely and executing so well.

I got this email in June of 2021 when my name came up on the waitlist, unfortunately I was not able to participate at that time.

This is for the "System Blue" kit:

You should try to build your own loop antennas. If you do not have the possibillity to place a coaxial antenna, frame antenna, or loop antenna in your garden you can also use our feritte rod antennas. If you order ferrite rod antennas, please order two. The antennas are mached each other. Two ferrite rod antennas are sufficient. A third ferrite rod antenna is mainly used for experiments or for improving the all-around reception characteristic (3 x 60 degrees).

The LTC1569CS8-7 filter ICs are also mainly used for experiments. You should always try it first without filter ICs. Be aware that you will need one filter IC per channel. Since the digital filter ICs are very expensive in Germany, we no longer offer these filter ICs. You can order the them yourself in China, for example at aliexpress.com. The digital filters allow to filter out a noise signal with a frequency of 80 kHz or higher. Such interfering signals often exist near long-wave transmitters.

Summary of purchase options:

- PCB populated with SMD components (additional components must be soldered on by the purchaser): 180,00 €

- Ferrite Rod Antennas (20cm) 20,00 €

- Aluminum housing 64,00 €

Four order options, all include PCB:

- 0 antennas, 0 housing: 180,00 €

- 2 antennas, 0 housing: 220,00 €

- 0 antennas, 1 housing: 244,00 €

- 2 antennas, 1 housing: 284,00 €
Your post implies you think that being able to say the word yes and being able to consent are the same thing, which is frankly worrying.

The obvious example is children can say yes, but they cannot consent. This isn't new or surprising.

> In some cases, they even have a negative return on investment — meaning degree holders spend more on graduate school than they can reasonably expect to earn later on.

this is easiest to see in things like public education where a Master's degree will net you an additional $1200 stipend [1] though it costs ~20k to earn that Masters[2].

Eh, you can do your own math. 5k satellites / 5 years lifetime = expect to replace 1k per year. Each launch of ~50 satellites costs around $35M (conservative estimate). So overall capex required to maintain the system is $700M/year. SpaceX would need 530k subscribers at $110/mo just to keep the lights on - and each satellite would have to handle ~106 customers concurrently, assuming a uniform distribution (best-case scenario for SpaceX). According to some sleuths on Reddit [1], each Starlink satellite can deliver around 20Gbps bandwidth, which gives each of those customers around 188 megabit speeds, assuming absolute best case geographical distribution. In practice people will be clustered so it won't be that great.

Surprisingly not that bad. The real cost could be double and they would still have enough capacity to serve high speed internet and break even.

That doesn't really address the issue though, does it? Food stamps are better than nothing, but they do not in fact allow recipients to spend the assistance as they see fit.

It's fine to be in favor of social engineering programs, but it's not consistent to then complain that philanthropists' charity comes with strings attached. The government's charity does as well.

> promiscuous sexual activity among gay men is how monkey pox currently spreads

This is the objectively false messaging the parent comments are noting. There is nothing about this virus that makes gay men a uniquely potent vector for transmission. It's not how this virus is spreading, it's how it has spread in one case. It's a well-researched virus and the means that it propagates is well understood—nothing about the science requires gay people to be discriminated against.

If you wanted lockdowns, perhaps we should start with the sorts of places where people sit near each other for hours, eat and drink, and shake hands. We can start with churches.
Both can be true. I've mostly encountered employers using formal education as a filter on applicants. But plenty of research is done on campus as well.
Eight months and counting with the position unfilled, investing time and money in the interview process, vetoing great candidates, getting pushback from the team...

Thanks; I am not surprised. It's hard to imagine how a sensor could be made to work cost-effectively - something that detects whatever ambient solar radiation slips through clothing? Whatever, consumers aren't going to pay for that.

But in fairness, the sensor doesn't work with how people use it. We could make a sensor that straps to user foreheads and requires them to always face the sun. When integration fails, we can point the finger either way, or just say it wasn't a good fit.

If you strongly believe prison is for rehabilitation, you probably want to give people plenty of chances.

If you strongly believe prison is for punishment, then likely you give people few chances and want their crimes to follow them forever.

The best approach is probably neither extreme but something more balanced with a case by case appraisal based on risk.

They're a weird combo of compile-time parsing and run-time expressions, with custom opcode. Early on they didn't have expressions but worked like .format(). Then they added expressions and the PEP title needed differentiation from it. Not entirely accurate title is now set in stone.

Welcome to the seeds of our future hellscape.

Anywhere there's a company with even a modicum of control over our lives, these things exist, misunderstanding our questions and complaints in the most infuriating ways, but fulfilling their primary purpose: To keep us from wasting the time of actual humans there.

Only the people who matter have access to direct lines. The rest are to be kept away from the important people.

Zelle always felt to me like the banks chasing down the already-escaped cattle.

If you wanted a no-security-promises send-money-to-your-friends system, you probably already had PayPal or CashApp or something else of the sort. As far as I can tell, it's a popular fit for people who were scraping PayPal's "seriously, your selling-stuff-on-Facebook thing is a business, pay business fees" detection a little too closely.

The timing also seemed odd, with the promises of FedNow being "real soon now" -- do they intend to eventually run Zelle atop it, or is it an attempt to build an installed base (and vendor lock in) before every bank in the country can say "Well, we're all on the same network, so transfers are immediate for everyone?"

> It's fine to be in favor of social engineering programs, but it's not consistent to then complain that philanthropists' charity comes with strings attached. The government's charity does as well.

I don't know what you mean: This doesn't seem to fit the common definition of social engineering, or we could call stop lights and tax forms social engineering; so I can't say I'm in favor, against, etc. And 'strings attached' is much too vague, as everything has strings attached (e.g., legal requirements); the question is the degree and who the strings serve.
Ehh, I’m far from a pro cook, but I do have an induction burner as I prefer it to my traditional electric range.

I would still pick gas if I had the option. I realize this is a niche reason, but cooking with a wok is pretty much useless on any type of electric burner. This is the extreme example, but gas is going to be more forgiving for imperfect cookware.

I really don’t like the sound of induction. I have gotten used to it, but there’s a slight whine. Could be the burner I have, so take that with a grain of salt.

Last, the glass top is going to wear worse than a gas top.

I love the properties of induction and do think it’s a much better burner than traditional electric, but it’s not perfect.
> Ah, so you think Venture Capital should categorically not exist and everyone should bootstrap.

Not at all that extreme, I was just bringing attention to the fact that VC funded startups get most (all?) of the talk of the town, making them almost ubiquitous, where the reality is that they are just one of the ways to start and run a business. In particular, none of these 'advice' posts we've seen lately here on HN and elsewhere seem to acknowledge the existence of 'non raising funds' startups which is basically what I objected to in the original comment.

Not being on the US side does not immediately correlate with being on China’s side, or, more exactly, it shouldn’t mean that. What Russia said it wants, several times, is a multi-polar world, so (for example), a world with the US vs Russia vs China (again, just as an example). The US is doing its best to make this into a world of US vs China+Russia thing.

That’s also the thing, blockading something by sea only makes sense if you blockade something of real value, so to speak. Right now that would work against China because they bring many valuable things by sea, a big part of that being mineral resources (iron from Australia, I guess copper from South America, oil from the Persian Gulf). If China can bring that stuff by land instead of by sea (so from Siberia/Russia instead of Australia and Chile) then a maritime blockade will have almost no discernible effect.

And lastly, I think money is not an issue for countries like China in this type of situations/scenarios, as in they’re not doing a cost/benefits analysis based on financial reasons, so to speak, they’ll be thinking along the lines of “does spending all this money make us just a little more ready against a war with US, no matter how unlikely?”, and if the answer is “yes” I think they’ll go for it, they’ll put that way above the financial well-being of the Chinese population (who will bear the costs for this). At the limit, that’s how a country like North Korea has been functioning since its inception, that’s how the former USSR was functioning at the height of the arms races against the West in the ‘70s and ‘80s, that’s how the West itself functioned for short periods of time in the past (during WW2, for example). That’s why when I see so many analyses (and I’m not targeting your comment, I’m thinking mostly about the Western media) that focus first and foremost on the economic thing in this type of scenarios I strongly believe that they fail to see the true nature of this confrontation.
I don't want it but I 100% want to send everyone who's new to coding to something like this. It's so goddamn hard to set up your first environment, when you have no idea what you're doing yet. I recommend people do freecodecamp because everything is right there in your browser and it just works and there's no setup. Setups are so much harder than writing code.
> Yes. Because local development environments...break ALL THE TIME.

This seems like more of a process problem than a technology problem. Our company has a simple rule for this: you break it, you fix it -- immediately. As a result, our development process is very stable.
Yes, you can.

There’s two definitions of “literal” in widespread use.

The first definition is as you say: an expression that has a constant value.

The second definition is: an expression that is the primary syntactic form to construct a type. For example: “array literals” construct arrays, but may contain arbitrary expressions within.

The first definition is more common in low-level languages where there is a place in the compiled executable to put constant data. These languages might call the second form an initializer rather than a literal. But in a dynamic language such as Python the distinction is less important.
I don't think it would work to force people to use a certain metric. They have to be free to avoid whoever they want to avoid, or else they will self-select out of the community, as happened here.
Does it surprise you that a sexually transmitted disease doesn't spread easily between people of different sexual orientations?

> gay men are only around 2% of the population

This is a dramatic underestimate by at least a factor of two. Only about 2% of boomers identify as gay, but it's five times that (or more!) if you ask younger generations. Unsurprisingly, younger folks have more sexual partners.

> The average term being a round 40 weeks, a pregnancy “month” is 4 weeks by convention.

This convention is news to me - though the confusion is not. Months are plain old calendar months in pregnancy (ie about 4.3 weeks).

https://www.verywellfamily.com/how-many-months-pregnant-am-i...

40 weeks is by convention from estimated last menstrual period, which is of course about 2 weeks prior to fertilization - so the actual gestastional period is closer to 38 weeks (that is closer to 9 months than 10 months).

If society, as a whole (or majority) decides such an aspect is ugly, then they can put a law in to outlaw it.

It is good in theory, but does it work in practice though? For example, majority of the country supports $15 minimum wage, access to abortion, maternity leave etc. Doesn't mean any of this is happening. There are so many "think tanks" and non-profits whose sole job is to advocate shitty ideas of their ultra rich patrons. A small minority with huge resources can consistently do stuff that the rest of us can only dream of.
