4000 people were killed due to the threat of box cutters... over 100 people were killed by a fertilizer bomb. People die due to knives, hammers and fists. It's a people problem.
That would be nice. It could even run on top of the GH Actions infrastructure now.

Reading between the lines from comments in that thread, it seems like part of the overhead in maintaining dependabot is that there is ruby code reimplementing yarn logic to do in-place lockfile updates behind the scenes. I'm sure it is nice to avoid checking out the whole repo, but it would also multiply the maintenance workload exponentially.

I have an ecommerce web site for a smallish regional coffee company I own. I heard about Bolt and was interested enough to go to their web site to learn more. Could not find a pricing page. Saw a form where you can request a demo. Realized it was one of those products. Left immediately. I don't have time for that song and dance. No wonder they can't grow market share.

An otherwise informative article, but using the term "military-grade" seems out of place.

The term has little meaning. You could call socks "military-grade" as well, and the only meaning that it really conveys is that it was cheap and barely functional enough to win a contract.

And AR15s are cheap. A lot of plastic and aluminum. You could say that's a problem, if you want. But that line of argument doesn't seem to lead anywhere.

In any case, "military-grade" seems like a talking point and nothing more. If anything, it gives the rifle more protection under the second amendment, which specifically references the militia.

Dismissing that they did just signal a reversal on previous rulings, it is a matter of time until it happens. Long matter of time, but either the US falls to basically fascism, or the courts eventually see a makeup that is more liberal and change things.
>Guns are self-defense weapons. They are particularly useful as equalizers: a little old lady who can shoot can defend herself against a mugger much larger than her in a way she couldn't possibly do by any other means.

Ah yes, the classic example of little old ladies defending themselves. This is pretty much a "think of the children" trope.
Correct! Correlation is not causation.

But it is a pretty serious hint worth checking to see if a causal link is there.

Outright dismissal of a lead in resolving a problem is NOT helping anyone.
This has a lot of good context, but one thing it misses is the cultural impact of being a country next to the US. The deadliest shooting in Canadian history occurred in Nova Scotia in 2020. The guns he used were not legal for him to possess, and crucially all but one of the guns he used in his rampage was acquired from America ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks#Acqui... )

Here is another from the conservative newspaper The National Post (aka I am not sourcing from a place likely to be incredibly biased against guns) reporting on the police chief of Toronto stating that a large majority of the guns used in violent crime in the city are illegally imported from US: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/guns-used-in-crimes-a...

We have other people in this thread using the example of Australia and asking what the difference is and I would state that a large portion of it is simply that Australia is surrounded by an ocean and Canada is right next to the US. As long as we have that anchor dragging us down its always going to be difficult to make major progress on gun crime.

>So even though the number of incidents per capita didn't drop, the deaths per incident fell 30%.

Honestly, to me that number isn't nearly as impressive enough to justify surrendering one of your only practical defenses against a tyrannical regime.

This takes your chances of dying from a terrorist attack from 0.0000001% to 0.000000066% ?
Hydrogen cars will require fossil fuels to be manufactured, same with hybrids. EVs have a smaller carbon footprint than both over their lifetime.

No duh, current manufacturing is done with fossil fuels. Everybody knows that. So what's the point of a comment like this, other than to downplay how important EVs are going to be at solving the climate crisis?
I still prefer the knob. Among the myriad of buttons, levers, and paddles on the steering wheel, with tiny symbols on them, I have to look down and figure out which ones are the volume control. It's much better on the other car where there are fewer buttons.

The slider is a bad idea because the car is bouncing up and down, so your hand isn't stable unless you pin it down with your thumb or something like that, and you have to look away from the road. The car doesn't roll as much, so a knob is inherently more stable, and can be found by peripheral vision plus feel.
> It can't really be that we need to strive and strain in order to be saved -- Paul seems pretty opposed to that sort of idea, elsewhere. So the real point of the striving and straining must be the effect it has on our lives here on earth.

This interpretation appeals to me.
Everybody starts making zero (or negative) dollars.

You see an increase in crimes against people when the equalizing force of guns is removed: assaults, muggings, home invasions, rapes, etc. Guns can (and do) allow smaller men, women, and the elderly to defend themselves with lethal force — against stronger aggressors.

You displace guns primarily harming suicidal people and criminals into harms to innocent victims, via unchecked violence — potentially without reducing suicides.

You also see an increase in totalitarian behavior, eg, the Australian lockdowns compared to the US lockdowns.

And the argument for removing rifles ignores that they’re rarely used in crimes — more people are killed by hammers or fists than rifles.

Same here! I built a 5x7 animated display from logic gates in an electronics class as part of my degree in physics. That class and fortran were the only two classes I liked in college. I'm glad I got that experience to work with circuit gates. I feel like I have some insight into the magic box I program all day.

The coolest part was our professors never told us we had to use logic (and then cycle through the pieces faster than the eye could see) to get the 5x7 led display to work for non-symmetric letters. They let us figure that out on our own. I was sitting in history class not paying attention when it came to me. I drew out the circuit I wanted and couldn't wait to get to electronics class to try it out.
I'm also from a smaller city in the south. I can also confirm that when people say "come and take them," they are serious. No one is going to be interested in a buy-back program, and a lot of people will defend their household if they know authorities really are coming to take their guns. A lot of men in southern culture would feel comparatively helpless if they knew they couldn't defend their home with a gun. Not saying it's logical, but that's the mentality.

Ironically, my home town in TN is a lot safer than where I now live in the Bay Area, where legal gun ownership is restricted and frowned upon. I don't think that's _why_ it's less safe here, but it's interesting to see the opposing mentalities.

They could use the access again without revealing how they got it. Double nitpick!
But you need multiple steps including the driver’s test to get a driver’s license, then you can drive. In this recent shooting, it’s obvious the shooter got his guns way too easily. I am pro-gun but I think you should be required to have a gun license first before you can buy a gun. And a mental health test and safety test should be passed to get the license.
What I’m saying is that you very quickly need to enforce a law like that with the state’s monopoly on violence, which seems to run contrary to the problem you’re trying to solve.

not sure that I follow what you are asking. I would expect if sha2-256 is used then the content ID would be the same. However, depending on how the content is chunked, the content ID will change. Two disadvantages that I see:

1. if new packages are produced for a release of open source, could I see if there is a copy available via IPFS? No, because one can't predict how it would be chunked. So, one would have to download and then derive a content ID and one can only tell if it is available if the same chunking algorithm is available.

2. if I want to push a package or other binary, can I figure out if it is already available via IPFS? No, one can't.

I'd like to add another anecdata point. I have lived most of my life in Texas. A couple of my close relatives were born in the mid 80's and started school in the early 90's in the public school system in a medium-sized city in Texas.

At the time there was a lot of discussion about ADHD, the causes, treatments, etc and how to recognize it. Teachers had the authority to remove a child from the classroom if the teacher claimed the child was disruptive. The school would not allow the child to return to class until that kid was no longer disruptive. They used school nurses to make diagnoses of ADHD and to recommend on the official records in the school system that the child be medicated to help them deal with their "learning disability".

Parents needed to schedule appointments with pediatricians or child psychologists so that the kid could be evaluated and if that professional determined the child needed medication to be able to sit still in class, or to be able to sit quietly without talking out of turn then the child was required to take medication, typically Ritalin.

I don't know where you're from but a diagnosis of ADHD back then followed an individual through their entire public school career and teachers absolutely had the right to refuse to have a child labeled "hyperactive" in their classroom unless that child was medicated.

I have no idea how all that ended up as standard procedure. Texas began a decline in the quality of education in their public schools a long time ago and there is no opportunity to arrest that fall without removing most of those currently in office.

Your original poster may not have all his ducks in a row but he at least knows that he has a flock of something that quacks. I may also not have all my facts straight but I know I am pretty close. They are both ordinary adults now in spite of the things they had to go through as students in Texas public schools.
"Nature abhors a time machine" says Stephen Hawking.

The school of thought there is that closed timelike curves could be possible in many theoretical ways. You can imagine funky cosmologies, ways of making wormholes, ways of making tachyons... when you get specific enough with any possibility, theory has shown it is impossible. But the problems with each possibility don't seem to have a common theme. None of those reasons seem to lead to a fundamental proof prohibiting closed time-like curves. It seems instead that something (coincidence, nature's desires, a proof yet undiscovered) is conspiring to prohibit all of them.

The Gödel Metric, for instance, is just a toy universe. It has a cylindrical topology (unlike ours), a negative cosmological constant (unlike ours) and finely tuned cosmological parameters that don't match ours. Showing we don't live in this universe is trivial. Showing we don't live in that universe simply because it has time travel still eludes us.

Yeah Bolt's numbers are just nonsense. We do 1/3 of what you do with a slightly less workforce than you, same hiring strategy.

There have to be tons of businesses like ours. No one cares about small business success though. I'd love to read more books and stories about "small" businesses making $5-40MM and how they go about their day and running the company. Would make for far better reading than all the vaporware and malinvestment in the VC space due to free money over the last 5-10 years.

Toyota hybrids are fairly parallel in their designed operation. However, you should have been able to get that Avalon up to ~47mph on electric alone with a (very) light foot, no grade, and a full battery. It doesn’t really matter though, Toyota hybrids are always using the electric motors to do part of the work even when the engine is on. EV mode is more of a psychological thing in hybrid cars, it isn’t more efficient. (If anything it’s less efficient) If you want to operate in EV in broad circumstances, you are looking for a plug-in hybrid.

Ha, love that. Gotta love the "boring" businesses that have good profit margins and solve problems. We're in a similar industry, with a lot of R&D costs.
I work at one of those two ad-supported businesses, and would be very surprised if there are large scale layoffs.

And yes, as one of the responders noted, I meant the services companies. An IBM might do a large layoff, but I generally wouldn't put that in the same category as Amazon or Netflix. I've worked through three economic cycles now (at least I think we're seeing the end of the third) and while they haven't been great for everyone in the industry, we've been better off than most others. For instance, just to pick on one profession, I know way more lawyers who've become software engineers than vice versa.
Yeah, they pivoted to commercial truck chassis. My guess is after the F150 lightning was announced, large fractions of their consumer market share basically stampeded over yonder.

That's a shame, because as you've pointed out, it was a perfect balance of a modern EV powertrain with classic simple function. For the dozens of us who'd prioritize that above all else, it was a perfect fit, but I don't think we're big enough market.

Definitely seen a lot of developers who, every time they want to go use a library- metrics, logging, http-clients, they go build their own TypeScript wrapper and interfaces. They think they're doing us all a huge favor by giving us something that might be portable, and which has an interface which is this way or that way easier or better. But it becomes a sticky not quite-sensible mess pretty quick, and ultimately, and no one can StackOverflow or nom search their way to success, since the internet has nothing to say about our homegrown overgrown wrapper + helpers.

I really want to find ways to better capture "we use X for logging along Y and Z plugins and U and V configurations". Making top down tools, that hide whats afoot, is just plain bad, but copy pasting the same solution dozens of times also doesnt fly.

Anyhow that all said, my problem here is more about encapsulation masking whats really happening, which I think is treacherous. I dont necessarily agree with the author; etcd for example I think has huge epic wins the author just doesnt get & that databases have simply never caught up on (common Http-centric interfaces, watch-api). But I did do many years of java and the Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs) everywhere were a cherishable & adorable source of great power & flexibility. That point is retained. I just think favoring sql is a terrible terrible example that ignores how excellent & typical http based interfaces are.

Essentially, Bolt (and Fast etc) are offering the convenience of a "1-click checkout" identical to Amazon's 1-click checkout button.

If you transact with Bolt at least once through any of their merchants, then Bolt will have saved your billing and shipping information so that future purchases are instant and do not require checkout forms to be completed. Theoretically with the reduced checkout friction there is a reduction in abandoned carts.

Makes no sense to me either.

>The military is going to win the war against tyranny

Not at all.

The idea of armed citizens serves as a deterrent for any tyrannical regime. In what scenario do you see the military successfully occupying or holding control of the country for any significant period of time while the citizens are armed?
About 10 years ago, I met Al Alcorn at an event. Prior to that, I had studied the original pong schematics in school as part of an interesting challenge in a digital design course, where the goal was to figure out what the schematic did, without knowing it was pong.

So when I met Al, I mentioned that I found the schematics fascinating, and had some questions. He was happy to walk me through the whole thing! After that, he told me all kinds of great stories about the different versions of pong that they built, including color support, the home version, and PAL support.
> If we are optimizing against the #1 all time cause of non natural death in the world - Democide - an armed populace does wonders.

This sounds intuitively correct, but I wonder if we have seen any evidence of this. If I think of the Holocaust would have happened if the Jews in Germany had been armed I'm not convinced either way. I can see arguments that it might have prevented it but also that it might have accelerated it, especially if everyone in 1930s Germany had been heavily armed
I've played around with it a bit in the past for Arduino stuff, and it could be promising for this application. Do you get to pick the colors of each wire? (Bonus: are striped wires supported?)

Ideally you'd be able to mark each wire with an indication of color(s) and diameter so the diagram could be printed in black and white (example[0]). I assume that could be done with labels, but on the scale of a vehicle that could get real tedious real fast.

When I need a pretty diagram I typically use either Dia or Libreoffice Draw. Neither is perfectly suited to vehicle wiring, but they get the job done. (Edit: also no simulation, which both of the tools mentioned upthread seem capable of.)

> There's no link between the US' foundation and the shooting school children bar the (intended point) difficulty of restricting gun ownership and access

Ok, but why is this even a point worth making? The "difficulty" you refer to is there precisely because being a law-abiding gun owner who would still use their gun to defend against tyranny is not the same as being a criminal who uses a gun to shoot innocent people. Since they're not the same, calling it a "difficulty" that you can't take away the law-abiding citizens' guns in order to keep criminals from getting them makes no sense.

If your intent was only to take away guns from the criminals, not the law-abiding citizens, then the "difficulty" is not that the law abiding citizens view gun ownership as part and parcel of freedom. The difficulty is that of judging who is a law-abiding citizen and who is a criminal in advance, before any gun is used for anything. But, as others have posted elsewhere in this thread, the law-abiding citizens who own guns are overwhelmingly in favor of requiring people to show some evidence of being responsible law-abiding citizens before they can buy a gun, just as we require people to show evidence of being responsible drivers before we let them drive cars on public roads.
