The problem is that the cost of an interceptor is a magnitude higher than a single missile. So it's easier to just build 10 missiles for every interceptor. You can also put multiple warheads on a single missile, or use decoys/countermeasures to defeat an interceptor.

Our current mid-course interceptors only have about a 50% success rate if I remember correctly, and terminal interceptors only cover a small range. There is a reason why we only deploy interceptors to geo-politically important theaters like Israel or Korea:

1. Because we only need to intercept intermediate-range or short range ballistic missiles

2. They are pinpoint areas that yield large amounts of coverage (of human lives) for a single deployment

It wouldn't be possible to blanket the US population centers in interceptor sites. Even if we could, our current radar systems wouldn't detect hypersonic missiles before its too late, meaning we would need a satellite fleet to detect launches from space. MAD is going to be the best option.
Based on https://twitter.com/BonsaiDesk and https://bonsaidesk.com which don't seem related to a browser at all I'd guess they pivoted to some other product (YC backed after all) and instead of throwing the code away are open sourcing it. Nothing wrong with that.
I'd for one like to thank him for reconsidering, there's never been more ways in human history to advertise your business. Don't make a day worse for 800 people for a small edge. If your project is special you will find an audience by other means.

A lot of businesses and individuals give out a contact for business inquiries if they're interested in something like that.
He merely needs to apply Bayesian search theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_search_theory

1. Formulate as many reasonable hypotheses as possible about what may have happened to the object.

2. For each hypothesis, construct a probability density function for the location of the object.

Tom Cruise is a really bad example, because he actually does have a pilot license since 1994 and is allowed to fly some jets. [0]

I'm not looking for advice on how to make a good movie (or how to fly a plane, for that matter), but on some perspective how (un)-realistic those movies are. I think overall that sort of scrutiny does some good in terms of making movies less unrealistic (compare 80's action movies like Rambo to modern productions), producers consulting not only ex-soldiers but also physicists, doctors,...

Soros has divested more and more from China recently. He's since become openly critical of the regime, whereas previously he didn't have much to say about it. So you definitely have a point in terms of billionaires promoting their investments. The likes of Dalio do the same, but in his case he's bizarrely doubled down on the CCP.

I do agree with you that people shouldn't listen to others simply because they're rich, that's not a basis for a logical argument. That said though if I were a Westerner with no idea about China, I would consider the opinion of people with skin in the game, and would value it over that of random others on the internet. Listening just to Soros may not be smart but you might check where most of the money goes, what most of them are saying - where the wind blows, so to speak. I don't see any billionaires moving to China In general more wealthy Mainlanders leave than the other way around. Also the government is getting stricter and stricter with their currency and exchange controls in China. Why would they need this if money weren't trying to leave? In most other countries, you can exchange as much local currency for foreign currency as you like.

All this should tell a keen observer something about the direction the Xi regime is headed, if other developments like the concentration camps aren't enough of a hint.

There were two main reasons they may have let Hong Kong be somewhat independent. One is a message to Taiwan that quasi reunification is in the cards, and they can totally trust China enough to become a semiautonomous district. The second is that it was handy to have a place with Western friendly rules to coordinate international trade.
Giving him a task and putting him to the side might make him feel dismissed. I'd instead recommending using the time as an opportunity to practice teaching, and some basic pair programming. By all means, walk him through whatever tedious code you are writing. To you it is tedious, to him it is something completely new and exactly what he wants to see - what do you really do all day? If he hates it, he will choose another path, if he loves it, he'll follow up more on this path. Either way, the purpose is not for you to entertain, but to demonstrate.
It is well-known that if you're in the USA you can lose your job at any time, for no reason at all. At-will and all.

People need to plan for that happening, and not just assume it can't happen to them. This example employee should have thought "Hmmm, I should wait some years and save a good amount extra just in case".

I wish it weren't this way, but this is the reality of the world. Yes, it means moving slower and buying a house later (and for more money) - or never at all, but it isn't going to change and our hands are tied.
> Bank: "Congrats on your house purchase closing, your new monthly payment of $XXXX is due in two weeks!"

Actually 30-60 days depending on when you close. And candidly, that should be enough time to find a new job for a company with a reasonable hiring process.

This literally happened to me a few years ago. It was stressful but I was fine.

Believe me, they're the worst ;)

My son recently got on the wrong train to get home from school, it was one that was "fast" that is it doesn't stop in the place where we live, his train sailed straight through our station and the next several stations, before it finally stopped somewhere and he got off.

At this point he (rightly) whipped out his phone and called me for help/advice. I checked the train timetables, figured out that although I could have gone and picked him up in the car, it would actually be quicker - and perhaps a learning experience - for him to get the train back.

So, I told him "go to platform X and get the train at HH:MM and it will bring you home".

He went to platform X, but unwisely got on the first train which arrived, which unfortunately was a delayed - fast(!) - service. So, he ended up going in the other direction on a fast train - and (again) not stopping - straight through our station, until his train eventually reached somewhere it did stop at.

At this point he phoned me in tears. I got in the car and drove there to pick him up.

We filed that under "learning experience". We seem to be having plenty of them...

Klarna is absolutely over-hyped, overvalued and a glorified bank and a complete scam. It also seems that an investor unloaded their shares worth $7.6m a year ago [0][1][2] at a $48B valuation to get retail sucked in and investing at that valuation on a crowdfunding platform.

Fast forward today, those 6,971 new investors have lost money as Klarna is on a series of downrounds; now at $6.5B.

Now that is what I call a magnificent exit scam that Crowdcube has done, which retail once again loses and becomes the bag holders.

Recovery from wake and bake will involve withdrawal symptoms and cravings, both of which have a physical basis. You can't expect flooding your brain all day and every day with a menagerie of feel-good chemicals and not expect adaptations which need to be undone.
Upright toaster is very quick and low risk of burning even when left unattended. I my experience, that timed example falls apart unless you're right there to take it out of the oven. I don't drink coffee so have no reason to hang out in the kitchen. I'd start it then go to my room and get dressed and return to my toast on my own time. However, my toaster oven behaves like a real oven and holds heat even when the elements turn off, I'd have to do a lot of experimentation to figure out the right time/temp setting. Figuring out the desired setting on a upright is incredibly easy. Once set, it's set and forget. You just push the button, walk away, return when you want to eat your toast.
I think the difference is that the country was managed and run by a tight-knit kabal of ivy-league upper class people. It was a high-trust environment where someone could call up an acquaintance and just say "Bob, you need to change your factory over to tanks this week. Harry will send the schematics, and we'll figure out the fine grained details later." The origins of the CIA and FBI sound mind-boggling to modern ears. These days you only see that kind of high-trust procurement in the special operations community.

Obviously there are some serious downsides to having a cabal of rich white dudes who went to the same schools run the administration of the whole country, but things could change direction a lot quicker.
War is hell.

If you were around in 2008, this is par for the course. They're not going to say "In 6 months we're going to do some layoffs." in the US. Get your weight up, lean on your network, get to the next gig. You must surf the crud to keep afloat. Join blind, keep in contact with your coworkers, and network network network. This is why you make friends with your coworkers, who become diaspora from that job, and can get you an in at new places to jump over hiring queues. This is all assuming you are good at what you do, and have some experience. If you're <2y into the industry, it is gonna be a slog.

I cannot stress this enough: no matter how much you think so, your company does not care individually about you. This might be met with "we must unionize!", but remember, we are highly paid, highly mobile, and highly in demand, possibly of all time! I don't think a union will save you from economic downturn.

Tech moves faster than nearly all other industries because we do not have long procurement timelines, this also means we die by the sword when the tide changes.

The major element of tech is movement of capital. If you do not believe this, think about running a place that manufactures and ships products. Lead times for stock, time for manufacture/finishing, and shipping. The logistics for shipping a software product is: "hubot deploy prod" in slack.

Put Unity at the top of your resume and get applying. It sucks now, but on the long arc we'll make it out of this.

CEO: "Don't worry we are not planning any layoffs!"

me: "Why are we talking about layoffs at all? Probably should start planning for contingencies"

Don't get me wrong: There's almost certainly a more transparent way of doing this that doesn't involve straight up lying, and it's crummy as hell, but there's some amount of personal responsibility here in terms of knowing how to read between the lines.
Considering their two-slice toaster I just looked up is $300, it better have repair parts available for the next, IDK, 50 years at least, not to be a complete rip-off. I expect I'll go through a half-dozen toasters in my life, and probably won't spend that much total (inflation adjusted).

> You wouldn't accept a bread slicer that sometimes erroneously slices off your fingers, as long as it does so less frequently than people slice their own fingers on average, would you?

I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from here. Are old fashioned injuries with old fashioned knives preferable to newfangled injuries with newfangled equipment? It seems pretty straightforward to me that fewer injuries would be better, all else equal.

Maybe you're imagining all else will not be equal? Maybe the new injuries are more severe, or more likely to happen to innocent bystanders, or something like that. It could be. But I think it's important to be specific about what we're worried about here. Otherwise "fewer is fewer" is all we have to go on.

S.F. Bay Area | Remote preferred | Email: me@boldcoder.com

Resume/CV: https://laclin.com/kiraly-resume.pdf

I've worked on 100s of successful projects for Rockwell, Northrop Grumman, Adobe, Motorola, the DTIC, UK-NCIS, and many others. I was the sole software developer one year for 50% of the U.S. Vote and did the initial draft of one of Adobe's printer protocols. I've worked on my own Linux distro for 25 years and have patched and built 1,000s of FOSS packages in the process.

In my most recent role, discussed in the PDF, I had a patch to Linux kernel 5.17 accepted. It was a minor patch but made it possible for the project to support vanilla kernels.

I'm looking for 1099 work. At the moment I have a preference towards junior roles and/or "fill in the gaps" tasks.

Fold | REMOTE, US timezones | Frontend and Backend Engineers

We’re here to introduce the world to Bitcoin. Fold makes it easy to earn bitcoin, instead of airline miles and hotel points, on everyday purchases via our mobile app and the Fold Visa Debit Card. We’re growing like crazy with a loyal (and loud!) community which has generated a lot of buzz (Fortune, Bloomberg).

We're hiring for both frontend and backend engineers (senior preferred). On the backend side, experience working with Python, Django, or Kubernetes would be beneficial. And on the frontend side, experience with React Native, E2E testing (detox), unit testing (jest), redux, etc would be useful.

Some fun stuff about us: We close the office the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, have a yearly vacation stipend, and annual company retreats.

Receiving spam really decreases my quality of life even at work. It also instantly puts you on my shit list and I won't do business with you even if I need the product.

I get a lot of spam from sales people at work (IT architect for a large Enterprise). A lot of them clearly never bothered to read my LinkedIn profile (offering solutions that have nothing to do with my field) but are really pushy, demanding a meeting and keep pinging me long after I've blacklisted them though their first email. Usually even including prearranged zoom meetings. I check my junk box once a month or so for legit emails and it's usually full of followups.

Of course I never respond as it will only cause them to follow up more and to demand names of more colleagues to harass.

If you really want me to be interested in what you have to offer, make sure I find it and hear great things about it when I go looking for something I need. It's a lot harder than just buying a list of emails and spamming but also a lot more ethical.
It's a very short term perspective. No employee is going to believe this CEO about anything important anymore, in this company or his next. So the disconnect between employees and CxOs grows, and decision making gets decoupled from reality.
That's not the case for many brands. My GFs Jeep has transmission problems and a water pump failure at 17k miles. Its actually one of the worst car brands according to JD Power. She drives gently compared to me. BMWs don't make much sense to keep past 100K miles, they just cost way too much to maintain.

The only car brands you're talking about is Japanese brands and maybe the Korean ones.
I hate spam as much as any rational human, and to be honest I've never thought about this from the perspective of OP. You've worked hard to make something you're proud of but now how do you let people know about it?

There would have been some degree of angry backlash to any art style that wasn't a meticulous recreation of MI 1 and 2 (a decision that would have also been criticized, but probably much more politely).

This is one of my favorite things about permaculture. It’s turning gardeners into conservationists, not conservationists into gardeners. If you don’t already like plants it’s too involved (intellectually and sometimes physically) of a hobby/cause to get into it just so you can lambast people.

The glaring exception to this is that we absolutely are all coming after your lawn, and that’s such a hot button issue for people.
