Mobile phone data that can’t be found? What does that remind me off?

> From January 2019 to February 2020, a committee of inquiry investigated the legality of contracts awarded by von der Leyen to external consultants of the Bundeswehr. According to reports in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, cell phone data relevant to the investigation was deleted, files were improperly redacted and files were destroyed. Text messages were removed from both cell phones used by the then minister. For example, an IT officer from the ministry's CIT department performed a "security wipe" on one of the two cell phones, after which it was finally disposed of because von der Leyen's cell phone had been affected by a data leak (the so-called Advent calendar hack).

What a hilarious coincidence. Or Einzelfall ;)
But the EU does not govern any country, so it is not comparable at all, and has no civil servants apart from at its offices.

It is not a federation, like the US.

The EU only governs itself, not its countries. It is not a country.

You just described a subscription service, which as a concept has existed longer than web3 has. All of these things that you have described has been possible for over 2 decades.
Web3 adds in the idea that your crypto subscription could tank and you have nothing left to pay for legals costs.

I'm strictly vegetarian, I will not ever eat meat, but as for vegan parts this is my strategy and it works really well!

it's pretty easy these days, too. veg foods are prolifically available, and oat milk is damn good, even in my morning cappuccino.

it becomes something that is positive when it's always a minimization and hueristic rather than a ruleset and guilt-ridden.

essentially, "I'm vegan but i don't stress it"

1. There is no "10 year" time limit. There is a window of time to keep our overall warming below 1.5c, which is virtually impossible regardless of which policies we choose to pursue, collectively.

2. There is no indication that we will be able to produce lithium-ion batteries with a high enough wh/kg density to create high enough energy storage capacity to replace carbon-based energy sources. Until such a time as that technology becomes possible and production-ready, we will need other sources of energy.

Not building nuclear with the assumption that grid-scale battery storage will become feasible is a potentially catastrophic policy decision.
Surprisingly, this is the best article thus far in pointing out the issues arising from a lack of space. This is the only article that seems to even address the lack of space.
Bitcoin has less foundation- or team-based leadership that have plagued other crypto projects. This leadership (eg Ethereum foundation) gives crypto projects the air of legitimacy, but also the impression, as Hinman put it, that some managerial work and direction is expected, tipping the scale towards security. If the network becomes decentralized to the point where no one party has sway over its direction (even a good one eg the move to proof of stake), only then can you consider it a commodity, at least in Hinman’s view.

Not only does this make sense but it also further speaks to the strength of the bitcoin project, specifically Satoshi’s decision to not be a public figure/BDFL. I doubt this security-commodity issue factored in specifically, but it was really a brilliant and largely unprecedented move that aligns with bitcoin’s political philosophy as well: no leaders.
The actual real reason is that most management is just bunch of morons busy optimizing for their own success, and no one worrying about any common sense good of the company.

The company downfall is always hiring the first "manager". After that managers will just keep inventing excuses to expand their dominion, until the company is 50% management, there's more people than actual work that needs being done, yet all work grinds to almost complete halt.

Even if a given individual is not a self-serving moron, they are overpowered by the dynamics of the group and they either comply and play the game, or they are out.

The bigger the group, the easier it is to hide in a corner with incompetence, stupidity, politics, optimize for your personal gain, and the harder it is to actually competently judge the performance and contributions of each member.

Hierarchies make people optimize for raising in the hierarchy, and accumulating power, at the expense of actually doing what the group needs.

The way human groups organize in practice is pretty much always complete dysfunction without motivated, benevolent and competent leaders at the very top. Our own self-interest combined with natural bias and blind spots in aggregate always win. And the dysfunction grows more than linear with the size of the group.

At the corporate size there is practically no actual owner/leader overseeing things (even the board is just bunch of self-serving assholes), so you effectively get a smaller and private replica of a communist state. If you read anything about communist state politics and management you're going to see 1:1 with every corporation you've ever worked in.
Sounds like you should be using a service for it.
While $150m does seem like a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that value was in the lease until 2074 that Cedar Fair changed the terms on (they only get a 6-11 year lease now). Since the area is now prime real-estate, it has a lot more value to a land-owner knowing that they won't have to lease it to an amusement park for another 50 years.

> So they would just lead mass charges into fortified positions with artillery and machine guns. It was the definition of a meat grinder.

I read something a while back that, while I'm not sure how accurate it is, got sort of seared into my brain. In medieval times, permanent fortified positions (castles and such) were of the utmost importance, and sieges were a major part of war. With the arrival of gunpowder, cannons could wreck walls and other fortifications, and warfare in the open field largely replaced siege warfare.

The single biggest military failure of WW1 (by both sides) was that the then-modern military doctrine told them to treat trench warfare as slow-moving open warfare, where it should've instead been fought as a slightly mobile form of siege warfare.
Automotive is the extreme case. For now it would be good that many non-automotive chips will shift to 28nm.

That will leave some decent spare capacity for automotive.

And maybe when a lot of such chips would be done in 28nm, it would make sense for TSMC to invest more in optimizing the process for them.
They already had Hypercard, and did nothing to make it mainstream, leaving it entirely to artists and creative people.

No, this is grossly misleading. Bitcoin is the only one he was prepared to say publicly at that moment was a commodity. That doesn't really say anything about other coins other than he's not willing to take a public stand at that moment.

No lawyers familiar with how administrative agencies work agree with that assessment. And that is, importantly, not how rulemaking works at administrative agencies.

EDIT: Administrative agency "rulemaking" is constrained by a fixed set of procedures that an agency must follow in order to "promulgate" a rule. First, they must publish a draft of the proposed rules, allow for several weeks or months of public comment, spend several weeks or months reviewing those comments, revise the rules as needed based on the comments received (or explain why no revisions are necessary), and then finally publish the finalized rules in the Federal Register.

Comments made by a single employee do not convey, or constrain, an agency's position on matters within its scope (unless those comments are made in, and pursuant to, a legal proceeding, in which case they are binding only for the limited scope of that legal proceeding).

That's what I'm looking for. The source - but more so the exact words - that says they're legally allowed to do that. Because even if it's publicly viewable, it's still my intellectual property. I want to read the part that says, "even though it's your IP, we have the right to launder it through copilot and sell it back to you/others".
Sort of a fruit of a poisoned well - if prior trade action hadn’t been transparently lying about a national security pretext warning about TikTok would have been received better.

If you're talking about inflation, we had a multi-year pandemic in which the western governments gave aid to struggling businesses, inoculated their population for free, supply chains were severaly disrupted, etc...

The war in Ukraine didn't cause the inflation (I think), although I admit it probably made it worse. I think it was the other way around. The prospect of inflation caused the war in Ukraine. Russia thought with all the challenges we would face, we wouldn't react to an invasion in Ukraine.

I'm not an expert in macro economics, so do you think there wouldn't be an inflation if Russia didn't invade Ukraine?

Sure, you're right. I wouldn't say that the problem is that the companies are not working her as hard as they could be; I'd say that what they think is a full time position should actually be part time. But they've refused to see it that way, for one reason or another.

We (Westerners in general) would indeed be screwed if you could just replace people with cheaper workers from other countries. It's not that simple, though. Language and cultural differences are a massive barrier. I say that as someone who has worked with a lot of East and Southeast Asians who are brilliant, hardworking people -- but it still takes a lot of effort to figure out how to work together, and that's at a startup scale where you can really pay attention to each person. Larger companies tend to have a lot of outsourcing horror stories.

> But was she not elected by EU members of parliment

Technically she was nominated by the European Council, i.e. the heads of state of the 27 member countries. EU Parliament is called to approve or reject the nomination of the entire Commission, which is theoretically set up by the candidate president (in practice national governments have a big say, and there are formulas to guarantee representation in the cabinet for every country in a cyclical manner).

Whether that is democratic or not, well... if they don't trust their own head of state, I reckon their democratic system has bigger problems than some text messages.

It’s always fascinating that people so consistently underestimate the massive cost of running underground wires and assume it’s at all economical on the individual level. As a point of reference if this couple wanted the city to build a 181 ft road it would cost a little over $100k. If it’s not subsidized (i.e. paid for entirely) by the city or batched by developers wiring a whole neighborhood at a time it makes no sense.

Having grown up always having internet it’s easy to take for granted how stupidly expensive the whole system is.
There's a pretty telling anecdote in Suetonius's life of Augustus where "[Augustus] sold a Roman knight and his property at public auction, because he had cut off the thumbs of two young sons, to make them unfit for military service" (24). In fact, this was apparently not uncommon, with several more references to similar self-inflicted injuries to avoid service popping up in various texts. I think there were also direct reforms put in place that specified that men without fingers could still be deemed fit for service (I think this might have been the late imperial period but unfortunately the precise source was found in a library book that I don't have access to at the moment).

While war is obviously still horrific, I think it's a bit easier to forget that when discussing history when we don't have particularly realistic images to base our imaginations. That even the Romans, at the height of its power, feared sending their sons to war, kinda counters the notion that conquest was this glorious, honorable thing that built an empire and made men like Caesar into the immortal gods we remember.
Well, except for Cannae and other Hannibalic battles.
I'll be the first one to detract Apple when presented the opportunity, but I seriously doubt this is their fault. Trying to squeeze utility out of 5G internet is like getting blood from a stone, I don't find it hard to believe that Apple got to the end, had a perfectly servicable product but scrapped it simply because there was no real reason to build it themselves yet.

It certainly sounds that way, at least. Maybe this will finally put those insane "satellite modem" theories to bed, though. I always suspected that was a piece of misunderstood/mistranslated insider-info.

I was thinking the same thing. From the article I got the impression that the final collapse happened because all the survivors were the same age, and too old to spawn a new generation. Semi-separation would at least break the synchronization.
This is a much more level-headed take on web3. As someone building in web3, I admit that 99% of current web3 projects (including tokens and NFTs) will go to zero. That's a consequence of the sheer number of projects and diversity of experimentation occurring today. For the first time in a decade, there is an explosion in the number of products and projects being developed. I can only see this as a positive thing.
> Some real terror was the early days of WW1

> So they would just lead mass charges into fortified positions with artillery and machine guns

That wasn't just in the early days, lots of countries, armies and generals failed to adapt. Cadorna from Italy, von Hotzendorf from Austria-Hungary, most Ottoman and Russian generals sent their men to die the same way at the end as at the beginning. Germany, France, UK learned (sometimes) from their mistakes, but not everyone did. For instance when the US joined, the US commander, Pershing, disregarded all allied military experience and advice and the US army had to learn everything the hard way because they were led by someone stuck in another type of conflict (punitive expedition against an inferior enemy).

But the begining of WWI was especially terrible due to the the emphasis on attack, colourful uniforms, and the disregard for defense. Machine guns mowing troops marching with music... There were mass charges in the first weeks and in the last weeks, but they were vastly different (creeping barrage to protect infantry and soften up the enemy, helmets to protect heads, coordination, etc.)
At some point, AirBnB will let hosts assign cleanup fees that are specified upfront and these will end up being deterrents. Most hotels seem to ask for a $150-300 cleaning fee for smoking in the room and I'm guessing they're able to make it stick because I just don't smell tobacco smoke anymore.

The only “loaded and oversimplified” rhetoric here is your refusal to consider even the simplest facts of the matter beyond “opioid receptors are activated at all!”

The only “doublethink” is how you claim not to be opposed to exercise in one comment while denigrating the very thought of going to the gym in another, in spite of clear evidence that lack of exercise is broadly detrimental to one’s mental state, rather than your narrative of “self-medication with endorphins that induces dependence and withdrawal symptoms where none existed before”. And claim that some source of endorphin release is good when that contradicts your only rationale for equating exercise with opiate abuse.
Might you or someone else have a link to that article?
A lot of the complexity here is because the gear selector is considered a safety-critical part. They may also consider LED indicators on it as safety-critical information to the driver. Those two things - is the transmission receiving the real intent of the driver, and is the driver being told the actual state of the system - are just the top level. Security is also starting to be a concern, though I think there is room for debate about how far they need to go with that. It's common to have all drivetrain components on a dedicated CAN bus with a gateway between it and other stuff. Your infotainment system is not going to put the car in Park regardless of what you run on it.
A lot of these "ferret fears" come from ignorance about what happened in New Zealand in the late 1800s / early 1900s. Domestic ferrets were crossbred with European polecats and brought to New Zealand specifically to counter rabbit overpopulation.

They introduced a man made killing machine to run through rabbit populations, and unsurprisingly the hybrid ferrets did the job very well. Now they thrive on the island as an invasive species. All that said, these ferrets are genetically distinct from domesticated ferrets. They are not remotely the same thing.

A domestic ferret in the US would last all of 8 minutes in the wild.
