> The best defense is probably still going to MAD with second strike capabilities. Assuming that a hypersonic first strike would destroy a majority of our silos and bombers, we'll probably have to beef up our submarine fleet.

For MAD scenarios, wouldn't attacking the US with stuff like fractional-orbital bombardment be more effective than hypersonic weapons?

> I would consider the opinion of people with skin in the game, and would value it over that of random others on the internet

Soros has zero skin in the game. He expects Xi to no longer be in power by the end of the year; and will suffer zero consequence if he's wrong.
ok, what's the "right" answer?
As a citizen in a country, you get to decide on allowing religious fundamentalists to indoctrinate their children. I choose hell no, keep religion out of schools and out of public life.
Compelling argument. Still, let me attempt a counter-counterpoint: $80 games tend to give 40+ hours of play, or $2/hour and the chance to play again. A movie in the theater is upwards of $20 and yields maybe 2 hours of entertainment, or $10/hour, and no ownership.

Plus in both cases you can wait a while for reviews to come in.

Are there any good 3rd party alternatives that work better?

This isn't a "well just stop buying avocado toast, and start pulling yourself up by bootstraps!" problem. This is a systemic problem with wage stagnation and complete decimation of the middle class over the last decades. The fact is the average American can only dream of having privilege you mention like not depending on their current employment to pay next month's rent/mortgage.
The fact that the whole domain is down now doesn't instill a lot of confidence in hathora as a cloud provider.
At least someone here gets it. Except the emphasis on moderation. YouTube comments are triple-moderated (by algorithms, by channel owners and by Alphabet contractors) and still are a cesspool. Think about that.

50Hz AC drops to zero volts 100 times a second, which makes the arc easier to extinguish. "Self-extinguishing" is a deadly exaggeration, though, as you know if you've ever seen a high-tension line being connected or disconnected. Arcs are only self-extinguishing when they deplete their energy source or destroy what they're arcing to.

You’re right that factory and manual labor abuses are more vivid and immediate, but there are techniques to harm creative and professional workers as well.

This is why there are unions for film and theater industry creatives, as well as nurses, and why there are licensing associations that provide collective power for lawyers and doctors.

Not all tech workers have it cushy, and collective action of some kind (it doesn’t have to be unions) can help protect the most exploited.

I am getting old (and grumpy) but this:

>They show us a vision of the future that includes flying cars, hyperloop, sub-orbital point-to-point travel, electric autonomous trucking, vertical farming, water-from-air condensation, water desalination, and so much more.

>In this research-based vision, cities are no longer limited by access to ground transportation. Plastics and cement are made from air, water, and electricity. Vernon and Dourado even predict a carbon shortage.

seems to me a lot more like sci-fi than anything else, and blaming the red tape (for existing technologies) doesn't make the not-yet-existing ones appear by sheer magic.
> people should be allowed to voice their dislike for a product and its direction.

Why? By "allowed to voice their disklike", I assume you mean outside of the privacy of their own home.
On the other hand, the only way to get meaningful privacy reform is to tie it to concrete examples that are easy to understand.
> We could always--always--tell which kids were the homeschooled kids.

With 100% accuracy in which direction? You noticed every homeschooled kid, or every kid you thought was homeschooled was actually homeschooled? Because those have very different implications.
Swim lessons, camp, girl guides, soccer, art class, music lessons, part time jobs, church, etc etc etc etc etc. are you really so unimaginative as to believe that only school provides access to non-family members? Give your head a shake.
No, I am not wrong. That's what's sad about this. People actually believe in all these things, not realizing they don't help the environment. And once people do find out how badly they have been mislead they tend to have a backlash and turn completely against anything an environmentalists suggests.

Go read a study on the energy and water costs of recycling plastic. But I'll give you a quick summary:

Plastic has two energy components. The energy embodied in it because it's flammable, and the energy to manufacture it.

It takes more energy to recycle plastic, than it does to manufacture it. So why do people want to recycle it? Because they want to recover the energy embodied in it!

But if you burn it, you get that energy back, AND you got to use the plastic for some productive purpose. And since recycling it takes more energy than manufacturing it new, burning plastic is always better than recycling it.
People don't like the art style. There's even precedent for this in gaming, remember what happened to Mass Effect: Andromeda? Or in broader media, there was a redesign of Sonic the Hedgehog for the movie.

Monkey Island is a very old game with lots of fans which was previously renowned for highly detailed art. People don't enjoy the corporate memphis skewed proportions of this new style, simple as.

Depending on what you are trying to do saying that Python or Julia are great alternatives to Mathematica is like saying that Java is a great alternative to Python and Julia.

Some people find enough value in Mathematica, Matlab, Tableau, JMP or commercial IDEs, compilers, libraries, etc. to prefer them to the free unrestricted alternatives available.

Some people like iPhones and Macs, some people say that there are numerous less expensive devices that do a great job and don't have restrictions on what you can do with them.

So China was too powerful to ignore their threats? Even today don't you think there is an alternative to handing stuff over to threats of military violence?

In your view how is it different from today's situation where China might declare the same thing about Taiwan?
Sure it is, and no where did I do such a thing. I merely pointed out the mob attacks that occur when you don't put the pride flag above everything else.
is there a way to filter by programming language?

"Only one mistake needed to kill you" applies to other things we do every day such as crossing the street or driving a car.

I don't understand why the warning videos were banned, and don't know what potentially dangerous practices that the "fractal woood burning" videos show, or what safety practices they omit, but working with electricity at mains voltages or higher obviously requires due care and attention.
Western countries have been complicit specially the US in derailing many democracies for it own purposes. HongKong plight is just the excuse needed to malign China they dont really give a f*k about peoples freedom or democracy case in point current Pakistan causi military take over of a democratic government with support from US. Or the turning a blind eye to growing fascism in India but as long as its a country they can use against China it is okay. It is okay to support fascist kings and generals as long as they tow your line otherwise they are unacceptable and those countries need democracies. But democracies that do not toe your line need to be destroyed.
Just a suggestion - have you tried tapering your dose down? It is usually easier to stop a strongly formed dependency by gradually reducing the dose, instead of just stopping altogether.

Reduce daily intake by X% every week. If a given step down ends up being too painful you just go back to the previous one for another week and then try a smaller step next time. Optimum X varies by drug but I’m sure there are recommendations specific for cannabis out there.

It sounds like you have the desire to make a change, with persistence and the right technique you can definitely make it happen.

> milk is to grow baby cows into large animals

Whence this transcendent purpose that limits suitability? Likewise, quinoa grains are to grow into full-sized plants, and not for consumption by humans, etc. etc.

Most people may be "lactose intolerant", but some of them find ways to survive and thrive on milk-based foods; meanwhile, some populations have developed tolerance to lactose, presumably because milk-based foods are important.
I always worked in the shared services groups (publishing) that they kept deciding they didn’t want, and then changed their mind.
The fact that you think it's a difficult question means that we need more robust incentives like jail time.

I mean yeah if eggs are essential for it to be french toast then there's no point in including the reference at all.

But an alternative for the wikipedia article I guess would be to just clarify that there was a dish of bread soaked in milk that has been compared to french toast, but that it didn't actually have eggs so it's debatable whether it really counts.

>they're putting a lot of effort into getting the headsets where they need to be.

1. Nobody knows "where they need to be" to become suitable for mass adoption. Definitely better than they are now, but personally I highly doubt I'd feel comfortable using a full VR headset regularly unless it was a "full dive" experience where I don't have to use a controller.

2. Hardware is a lot more difficult than software. Facebook's hardware track record is non existent beyond what they acquired with Oculus, which was a startup.

Apple has more experience designing and producing hardware than Google, Facebook and Amazon combined and if they don't think the tech is ready, it's probably not ready.

3. Why is Mark Zuckerberg the face of this? People find him talking so uncomfortable that they make memes about him being a lizard person. That more than anything is what makes it feel like a billionaire's vanity project. How is he being allowed to bet the entire company on this? Does the board have any real power? If I had any kind of significant equity in Meta I'd be really concerned right now that the CEO seems to be in la-la land and is issuing missives telling his employees to quit.
I actually don't mind. He didn't force me to click the story, read it or click on through to the app. He didn't invite himself into my inbox. He wrote a piece "apologising" for this or that. Intent aside, it's still an interesting project and I wish him all the best. Gotta remember technical people don't really do "sales" very well. It's a hard learning curve and I appreciate the attempt.
Guess Carlin never had such a privilege.
It surely feels like dark times, but it's even darker now when democracy in the US is under threat. Belief in democracy abroad or at home seems to have gone away and in its place there is cynicism, implicit "might makes right" and political tribalism.

So... let them do it. Once. Let us hope they will learn after their uncomfortable high. That might actually deter them from weed. It did work for me. Is it not how both kids and adults learn? If they cannot learn from other people's experiences that is.

It does not take a rocket scientists to use those devices, but if the average people is really that dumb, then we should seriously take control of their lives if we want them to be contributing to society (because that's what seems to matter the most, right?).

Plus I doubt that many, THAT dumb people who have not touched weed would start doing it out of nowhere.

A number of people in this thread are responding regarding their honey bee population, which I think is very important for agriculture. However, I think the more insidious issue is the decline of native bee populations. From the article:

> Nor are the 4,000 native bee species in North America doing any better: Nearly 1 in 4 of them is at increasing risk of extinction.3

I think a driving factor of this is paving over large swaths of land, farming, and individuals planting non-native plants. The native habitats for these native bees is disappearing and thus it shouldn't be a surprise that the bees are disappearing as well.

My wife and I have been planting hundreds of native plants in our garden over the last few years and there is an incredible difference in the number of native bees that visit our yard now, sometimes it's dozens at a time. We definitely never saw such activity with a standard lawn and non-native shrubs.
Whoa, that's great. Also, thanks for that reference I have something new to read later on :)

Taking your health seriously is good, but your chance of getting cancer at a young age is small and fairly unrelated to any measures you might take to protect yourself.
A better phrasing might be “how dare you cause me to expend time, effort, and attention in order for you to try to further your goals and those of your company”.

You are not qualified nor invited to asses your ability to improve mine or my customers’ quality of life, so it is all for you.

Cold contact in business is self interested, rude, and never justified. The only reasons not to reply to every one with “fuck off” are the time/effort, and that it confirms a working email address and that someone probably at least read the subject. (I suppose it might also look rude out of context if it came up in future, but it’s honestly the deserved response.)

Instead I add companies that cold email to the “do not use/work with” shit list for when I’m thinking about partnerships and service providers. (Actually the list manages itself - I just search for emails mentioning any provider we’re considering using and exclude those that have engaged in cold selling or similar.)
