Those opportunities would be limited. Given that commercial airlines operating airplanes were in it's infancy before WWII, there was a potential market for rigid airships.

World War II changed all that. The Hindenburg wasn't just a commercial airship, it was very much used as a propaganda prop by the German regime in the 1930s. By the time of the Hindenburg disaster, the market for commercial flight was about to be stymied by the War.

The disaster didn't just create trauma, above all it marked the end of an era of relative infancy in human flight. And even at the time, competing airlines already were building long range aircraft such as Pan Am / Boeing's famous "Yankee Clipper".

Technological advances and massive investments during the War favored airplanes such as we know them today. In the late 1940-1960's, airplanes allowed for cheap and fast international travel which could easily be scaled upwards. By that time, few if anyone wanted to spend 9 days crossing the Atlantic in luxury if traveling from London to NY could be done in mere hours.

I don't see airships ever taking back a significant chunk of that market. If anything, they might appeal to certain niches. Maybe in the same vain as one could - even today - still ride parts of the Orient Express in style.
Just kidding, I'm not changing the way I call the country, only maybe as a joke. What the Erdogan foreign ministry is doing is a silly diversion from the general shitshow, not even Turks themselves (or a large majority of them) take this seriously.

And don't get us started about how they treat our foreign names here within Japan
This actually sounds like the most plausible reason considering there is really no other incentive to do this.
> Mailing lists (which are the whole reason ARC exists)

It would break mailing lists that want to have the original author's unmodified email address in the `From` header, which ... sounds fine? Contemporary mailing list software sends `From` headers like this:

'Jane User' via Some Mailing List <some-list@example.com>

which is verifiable.

> Mail forwarding between a user's different mailboxes

I would expect this to continue to work as before, as long as the mailboxes are in the same MTA -- for example admin@ and postmaster@ forwarding to jdoe@. If you mean `admin@example.com` forwarding to `jdoe@otherdomain.com`, then I think it would be appropriate to require explicit bidirectional opt-in (and Gmail IIRC does enforce just that).

edit: Also, this doesn't need to be enforced for all domains from the start. If domains want to continue to be open forwarders that let anyone use them to send spam, they don't need to set SPF/DKIM/DMARC records (and receivers like Gmail will continue to bit-bucket their mail).
Hence option 2 - the PO box.
This is a lot of speculation on what exactly Putin's calculations were. Of course war is bad for Russia in the short-term but given NATO encroachment, you can't just let yourself be slowly encroached on forever.

I think your point about countries that were typically neutral becoming not neutral is an incredibly important data point here. Though I read it in a different way. Specifically, the fact that Switzerland became partisan (Switzerland!) seems to really support what Mearsheimer was saying (i.e. support for Ukraine by the west is much more about financial incentives than standing up for human rights). I mean, did Switzerland, who was neutral even in WWII suddenly gain a conscience now? (Though I guess another way to read it is just that Switzerland feels very safe at this moment to be partisan, or that power dynamics have shifted significantly in Europe in recent times.)

But anyways, let's just take a step back for a second... it's clear that the US empire is much more powerful than Russia at this point. Of course if the US decides to back Ukraine with a lot of resources and support, it's going to be a struggle for Russia. The fact that it's a struggle does not seem to say much.
I have an interview with Meta (frontend) next week, what should I expect day-to-day working with them?
1. Will they overwork me like a slave?
2. Is there work-life balance? (i.e work productive 4 hours) Or am I expected to work 12-16 hour days every day (or at least 'appear online' for 16 hours)?
3. Meetings, how many meetings am I expected to attend per day?
4. Colleagues are mostly a-holes or normal people?
5. How do my colleagues feel about working there day-to-day?
6. Will I be micromanaged?

Thanks a ton in advance
Well, a certain level is included in the price, but that doesn't mean it's free.
That level is also quite low if you really want to use it.
Life Is Funny Sometimes
A large part of this discussion (also the comments) is neglecting that the major role of these institutions is as research institutions. Distributing that would help alleviate the publish and perish state of so much of academia. So many of the schools are cutting the number of actual professors, in part due to lack of funding.

i wish they would put some of those money to adjust FAA rules for the modern development - drones, human carrying multicopters, and whatever others things may come if the rules become friendly for innovation
that is a very good point, but just like there are companies with good and bad onboarding, there are FOSS projects with good and bad onboarding.

it's worth mentioning here that GSOC may have motivated a lot of projects to improve their onboarding and make it easier for new contributors to join.

these are solvable problems. and bad onboarding is not limited to async work, nor is async work a hindrance to good onboarding.
Billionaires getting into stupid Twitter fights is very far from the worst things they do (or can do).
Do you have any sense of how long these works are?

It would be challenging for a single human to read 10,000 books in a lifetime, say, of 85 years, beginning at age 5. That would be 125 books per year, or nearly 2.5 per week. Every week, every year, for life.

If these were shorter works --- the equivalent of pamphlets or essays (or more likely: epic poems), of a few pages each, that might be more viable.

That said, 10 million works might represent a cultural accumulation, but would be difficult to describe as a cultural tradition, simply on the basis that at any one time, any person could know at best a small fraction of the works.
in this day and age yes, 72 is young.
MBI?
SAFe is completely insane. I feel sorry for you. I actually left my previous employer because they adopted SAFe and it essentially made working there as a developer impossible. I wrote some of my thoughts here on HN the week after I had resigned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26351881

Looking back now, the brutal destruction of our self-organized team had a negative effect on my mental wellbeing, and I have been happy with the decision that I left (eventhough it was painful leaving so many long-time colleagues behind.) These days I do similar work as a contractor for a different company.

BTW in that thread I predicted that the company would abandon SAFe within two years. My old colleagues have told me that by the end of 2021, the actual software development teams were "relieved" of the SAFe process, and apparently went back to their normal more or less self-organized working methods as before. SAFe is now only apparently a tool that the middle managers use to plan their high-level work (LOL).

SAFe lasted about 1.5 years total with the company going "all-in" and investing big time in trainings etc. Probably they would have abandoned SAFe altogether by now but in the "transition" they hired a good roster of SAFe specialists, so I guess they have to keep at least some form of SAFe process going on to not hurt anyone's feelings / lose face on the investment (although the specific C-level whose initiative SAFe was "moved on" already before.) Lots of the SAFe "specialists" have also moved on - most of them back to selling the same snake oil as management consultants to other firms.
Modern air travel outside of business class and select airlines like Lufthansa is a far cry from the luxury and glamour of the Pan Am days. Maybe people will pay to take a cruise among the clouds.
This exactly; when your banking or investment app shows the stock, you assume already that it has been vetted by people who know so much more about all this than you.
> We totally have the technology and capabilities to scale it to the masses

If you're an undergraduate at Oxford[0] or Cambridge[1] you can expect to have multiple weekly sessions where two or three students get a session with a professor or postgraduate to go through material that's been presented in lectures.

Does this scale? Based on my experiences (six years in total, three on each side of the table as it were) I very much doubt it.

> It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion", by means of the propaganda model of communication

This can't be true. Not when all major newspapers come with the same "investigative" story in the same day, at the same time.
Some thoughts on machine learning with small data
In the case of cuneiform, aren't the vast majority of tablets effectively receipts and transaction records?

It'd be a bit like stumbling across someone's tax records receipts box in another 8,000 years or so. Presuming thermal paper survives the interval.

How to Simplify Your Life
From the article:

> LTA's goal is to build huge airships to provide humanitarian aid in places where conventional transportation can't reach, such as in the aftermath of a disaster. (...)
"We believe that lighter-than-air technology has the potential to revolutionize humanitarian relief efforts with its ability to reach remote locations that have little or no infrastructure," Weston said.
It is primarily to keep the populace "under-educated" to keep them on the "universal basic income" and remove all motivation to "work".
It's unreasonable to expect the government to verify all the information all the time. We need a strong deterrent for fraud by prosecuting it when it happens. I feel somewhat sorry for the shareholders but it seems that many of them were in on it or should have known better.

Sure, but they have a lot to do with spending time away from my family. If I'm to spend time away from my family I want that time to feel worth-while. I have yet to go on a company retreat that felt worth it.

The biggest boon to a company retreat has always been to come and see a new place but then I've always wished I could share that experience with my family instead.
If we’d account correctly for airplanes and boats for the enormous emissions they have, than I think a full electric slow floating airship like this would be tremendously beneficial. However, for it to be economically feasible it also oughtta have similar subsidies like planes and ships have with their zero emission taxes.

> Then this money needs to be spent on doing a lot of unrelated inefficient discovery work wasting huge amount of money so they have a chance of finding next gold vein before shifting sands of economy and human development burry the original one.

They could also return the money to shareholders and let the shareholders invest it into startups and companies that need investment to make money. These are usually much better bets than the old company re-inventing itself.

A company is not an end in itself, it is a temporary assembly of humans to explore a gold vein. Trying to make it eternal serves the CEO, but not the shareholders.

Instead of facebook trying to create the next facebook, it should return money to shareholders and let them buy into whatever is the next big thing.

I've been using grpc-js for peer to peer work. It's been tough so much do that I'm considering dropping it in favour of just json RPC.

I'd hope that when the typescript version is available that it actually uses promises, Async generators and supports both client side and server side. And most importantly we can use any underlying stream socket (like UDP).
Yeah it could do with a preword like "this is a tour of various Rust type features". The title makes it sound like it gets to some kind of point, which it doesn't. But I had to spend 10 minutes skimming it to figure that out.
> It's really the one popular application out there that seems to have absolutely no redeeming factors, and I'm constantly confused by why it has the uptake it has.

I agree about MS Teams being very terrible. I attribute the uptake it has solely to a lot of companies already working with Office 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc) and getting Teams for free -- so why pay for another chat app?
Spleeter: Separate Audio into Stems
The situation as seen from France is odd. Here, elite STEM universities are free, and the very best ones even pay their students. Having legacy admissions would be unthinkable; it's the opposite of meritocracy. And you don't need to "socially" prepare since birth with all the right extra-curricular activities.
Dogs can detect Covid with high accuracy, even asymptomatic cases
Admissions is an imprecise art. While the majority of elite school students make do with status and connections, some go on to attain global stature.

Global stature is virtually impossible to attain, an unrealistic goal. The world is actually a small place, and global stature is a reasonable goal within one's domain of interest. Both views are indisputably true. One tends to believe the view held by people around you. While it's easy to become a student at an elite school, it's hard to become a professor at an elite school. These are people who have "cracked the code" and naturally see the world as a small place in which one can excel. Most students will never "crack this code", but those in direct contact with good role models are more likely to do so.
> For something like a work place communication tools such as Slack I can understand the purpose of setting yourself active or idle manually to indicate whether you're available for messages, or in a different time zone, or whatever. That's a different use case.

I just never set myself online, I wave in a morning, I wave at the end of the day but I treat slack as async, I read the message and reply on my schedule.

I expect the same of the people I lead, we are developers, we require been able to block out chunks of distraction free time to work properly.
How would you know what I know about what happened in Cyprus?

Was what happened the best possible result - probably not. But I would say that goes for all European responses to the financial crisis then - but that is not the same as being totally indefensible. The question has to be: what outcome could we have now that would be better and what should we have done then and could that have been done? And with Cyprus one issue is the smallness of the economy, which meant what a US might be able to do might not be possible for them on their own.

EDIT: and one of the issues in Europe certainly seems to be that broad, untailored measures are not very popular even though ex-post they appear to perform better - so popular opinion does matter
Thanks for the suggestion; Just had a go. It was a blast.
Things seemed to be going well until I ate a giant mushroom, got confused and then eaten by some kind of hybrid giant mutant plant bunny or some such. Bookmarked.

> Rather than using the Go standard library's net/http, grpc-go uses its own implementation of HTTP/2. It's incompatible with the rest of Go's HTTP ecosystem, so you can't cleanly serve gRPC requests alongside other HTTP traffic and can't use most third-party packages.

Mostly because grpc-go's implementation is about 5-10x faster than net/http.

Some of the puzzles are also (better?) known under other names

I first knew many of them by the Nikoli/Japanese names, under which they were released on Nintendo portable platforms.

KenKen -> Keen

Hitori -> Singles

Slitherlink -> Loopy

Sudoku -> Solo

Akari -> Light Up

Relatedly, there's a nice book with a mildly embarrasing title called "Puzzle Ninja: Pit Your Wits Against the Japanese Puzzle Masters" that works as a nice intro to many of these games, and has interviews with creators. Though I find discovering the strategies for new games to be part of the fun, so it is a bit spoilerish that it walks you through some of the basics, but ideal for someone new to the whole area.

By the slander law (i.e you may not call Atatürk a fascist anymore) you may not insult Türkiye and Türkiyesh.

So with the name change you might now slander Turkey, as Turkey is not the official name anymore.
I wonder if there are still any military applications for airships in modern warfare.
Yeah, I'm not advocating the simulation hypothesis as such : ) I'm only saying it fits here nicely as a thought experiment (that's why I emphasized: "for argument's sake"). Its actual correctness is beyond the point.

As for the validity of simulation hypothesis itself, I'd say it's essentially religion in disguise*. It's unfalsifiable by definition too, and personally I apply Occam's razor on the idea, but obviously I can't disprove it. The question can't be "is it true", but it's fine to ask "is it a useful (or at least thought-provoking) metaphor?" (in a given context).

___

* Most religions, in my view, can be broken down to the sum of: a) simulation hypothesis of sorts (universe run by Creator), b) code of ethics with mnemonic narratives, c) ceremonies, that covers most of it analytically speaking.
I mean this is a super detailed introduction in a weird writing style. Does not really represent the experience of writing Rust and more than a very very long article about channel behaviour would represent how it feels to write Go.
Sauerbraten (previously known as Cube) was always a favourite of mine, with the added twist that the game itself was also the level editor, and different players could be in different "modes" in the same map - a group of people CTFing, while others deathmatched, and a couple of others were literally redrawing the map as they played.

I see there's even a release of it that's not that old - I remember it from about 15 years ago and it still seems to be developed.

The Imperial kids also do a lot of internships and summer jobs, and are often the kind of alpha nerds who have serious side projects. I interview and work with a lot of interns and graduate hires from Imperial (and a few from Oxford and even other universities), and i'm highly dubious that the work they do during their actual course is whey they are learning to program.
