> If an axis of China, Russia or and any other countries domainate space, you aren't free or sovereign when you need to ask their permission.

As a non-american, the US falls under "other countries" in this for me and, as I am much more exposed to US news than russian or chinese news, seems the most driven to use it for power projection and possibly weaponizing it. If possible, I'd like to see a stronger push to organize space faring and orbital access from the grouund up as an international cooperation.

Realistically though, there will be a security-council type of result: A few countries with the ability to revoke permission for anyone they deem unfit, because they have the power to do so in practice. Of course the US will do anything necessary to be one of those or the only one to do so. But I wish a more equal-access result would be possible.
As far as I can tell, selling out has always been a subjective thing and has always been directed towards those who turn their back on principles for personal gain. Of course, everyone has a different idea of what those principles are so pretty much everyone who is sucessful gets branded as a sellout by someone. While some of this may be a vestige of the hippie movement, I suspect most of it is not.
Yes, appears so; after looking around, found three additional documents.

(1) 10 year report on the project, which has detailed charts on the performance of the system:

https://www.dlsc.ca/reports/swc2017-0033-Mesquita.pdf

(2) More mathematical explanation of the dynamics of the system, specifically: “Because of their construction principle, BTES are not thermally insulated to the bottom and the side; only a top insulation layer reduces the losses to the environment. As the thermal conductivity of underground material is rather moderate, in a range of 1–5 W/m·K, heat losses can be kept low if the total volume is large enough to achieve a good surface-to-volume ratio. Size is important because heat losses are proportional to the storage surface while the storage capacity is proportional to the volume.“

The world is not so black and white, and silos have legitimate business purposes. The reality is that any one contributor or team can only handle so much. When duties must be split between teams for effective ownership of responsibilities, separation of concerns becomes paramount to the continued progress in any one domain.

If all you have is one team, microservices make no sense.
Some elevators have this! The one I encountered was, press the button until it starts flashing, release and press again to deselect the floor.
It was next to the hot water line and not insulated (enough) and it had pretty much just been sitting there all night.
This had me thinking. This might be a weird take, but if nobody was bothered enough to file an official complaint against Samsung, and have it reviewed and pushed through the process, is it a significant issue in the first place ?

This is actually a really good business for natural gas utilities to switch to if they want to survive in the future.

They have tons of experience with pipes, they can swap gas furnaces for heat pumps and exchangers.

And it turns out that the areas that district heating works well with are really comparable to where it makes sense to pump natural gas. Yoi don't necessarily need heated pipes, just using the ambient temp in the ground is usually good, with very small bits of storage/heating.
Pretty good summary of what he’s getting at:

I broke my foot recently. Calling around and asking for quotes ranged from a straight up "I don't know" to "Here is the cash price. We won't know your HDHP insurance price until after we bill them, which could be good for you or could be bad. It will probably be bad, because there are more middlemen."

I tried paying the cash price. They inadvertently billed my insurance anyway. Turns out, I actually saved like 33% using the insurance price ($180 vs $120 for an xray + analysis).

They said the only way to get a copy of the x-ray was to pay $5 for a CD. None of the computers I still use have a CD reader.

The whole system is such a clusterfuck. I understand the aversion to giving a governmental bureaucracy more control (esp over something as important as healthcare); however, it's hard to imagine a worse way to pay for care than what we have now.
Quoting every column is a safe way to handle this, at the cost of slightly larger files. You can then escape a quote with another quote.
> they are the only place in government seriously engaged in countering our actual existential threats.

With what? The threat of burying an enemy in paperwork?
It feels we will have to agree to disagree. Very few people I know got into management for "power over others" - as most people and articles and lessons and training for managers will tell you - it's a common perception that managers have power.then you become manager and realize it's all constraints and targets and you have crap all power and you owe everybody everything - up down and sideways. I'm not saying that power-hungry sociopaths don't exist, absolutely they do, but I think by sheer numbers they are overwhelmed by regular folks just trying to do their job.

(Oh and, for many companies, project managers are paid less than senior developers, so it's not necessarily better money either)

today, learned heuristics have a couple of pitfalls that make them hard to add to such systems

1. they are usually hard to run efficiently

2. they are usually hard to explain

The former is definitely changing with low precision formats like fp16 and useful coprocessors that can do matrix multiplications efficiently (M1, Intel). The latter hasn't been developed much and unless you're just training a model to memorize the entire space the heuristic operates in, it can be scary to trust it on unseen data.
Donating money to projects that you use heavily doesn't sound like any kind of traditional paid model to me.
A quick google search on the subject is not so clear cut (try ML compiler and Compiler ML).
In either case, this is a discussion of compilers where audience skews toward an interest in programming languages. In this context abbreviation is ambiguous.

I think a rename would be helpful in clearly outlining the subject.
Something like 'Google Deep Learning based Compiler Achieves 3-7% reduction in size' would get the point across clearly.

A recent upstream Linux kernel update broke certain SMB shares, if you are using Arch (or something else that closely follows upstream), its probably that.
Apparently this is (or was?) a common practice in Silicon Valley. It's unfortunate, but I can also see how it's a sensible policy that avoids some problems.
Such powers capabilities being in the control of a secretive military organization don't appeal to me. Simply because often they have too much power and too little oversight and transparency.

I have a ton of concerns with Signal. They started collecting and storing user data in the cloud while being deceptive/unclear about it in their communications leading to a ton of confusion with users. In fact they're now storing exactly the same data that they've bragged about not being able to turn over since at that time they weren't keeping it. Pretty much as soon as it was clear Signal was going to start keeping user data, users started with objections and asking for a way to opt out of the data collection and bringing up security concerns but those objections were ignored.

To this day they're violating their own privacy policy because after they started storing user data in the cloud they never bothered to update the policy.

Currently it states: "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." while in practice they store your name, your photo, your phone number, and a list of everyone you're in contact with which is pretty damn sensitive, especially if you're an activist or a whistleblower.

I've stopped using/recommending it. To this day I run into posts where people think Signal isn't collecting any user data. I hope every user who has to learn what signal is really collecting from some random internet comment thinks long and hard about what that says about how transparent and trustworthy signal is.
This is beautiful. It reminds me of the early Internet, but done in a contemporary style.

I wish the modern Internet were more like this.
> Somehow in the mid-2010s congress decided that anyway that walks onto private property, demands care from a private organization, will receive it, even if they declare they will not pay a dime to the staff working.

False. I mean, not only is this an exceptionally emotionally loaded description of EMTALA, it was adopted in 1986 which is not, even approximately, the mid-2010s.

> Congress could have totally create/build a system of hospitals that provides "one time care" for those people, but doesn't.

Yet another set of independent physical infrastructure would be even less efficient. The multitude of separate payment and delivery systems is a major source of the US inefficiency

> Instead they pass the buck and say "figure it out" to the private industry.

No, instead they find hospitals that have a large share of uncovered patients through the Medicaid's Disproportionate Share Hospitals payments program.

> E.R.s are now becoming "primary care" for large majority of the US population

Some support for this “majority” claim would be welcome.

> Members of Congress literally don't give a crap about "common folk" and go on golfing and enjoying their free healthcare for life.

Under the ACA, members and staff of Congress don't have special government healthcare plans, they have access to plans they are required to have coverage through plans available to others created under the ACA including exchange plans.
> I wonder how member of Congress justify that they need a special health care that is different from the public.

There don't. Them not doing so is part of the ACA. Grandparent was just lying.
I think you're right, Pearl Harbor was a major attack but it also had aspects of 9/11 in that there were major intelligence failures.

This underscores the need for better more effective military intelligence.

I just got billed $5000 for a routine echocardiogram at Stanford, and in the process of fighting it. My insurance is supposed to cover preventative care 100% (not even a copay). They billed $18000 total (yes, for a 1-hour ultrasound) and insurance is leaving me to pay $5000.

This is about the 6th time this has happened. It's always 15+ e-mails back and forth, then threatening lawyers, then they back off.

I'm wondering if it would be faster if I just take it directly to a small claims court. I am insured and it is preventative care, so I believe I'm entitled to pay nothing. Advice welcome.
But individual states have never been in complete and utter unity within themselves on every topic. Abortion has majority support in many states with anti-abortion laws. So the logic doesn't hold.

If the Federal government shouldn't make laws unless every citizen of every state agrees with them, then neither should states. We should then devolve to autonomous, self-governing collectives based entirely on common political ideology. But wait, not every person's set of beliefs is uniform with every others. People may agree on abortion but disagree on other issues. Obviously we can't have people be half-governed.

The only answer is anarchy, then. Each individual acts as a law and government unto themselves.
I suspect you are thinking like a lawful-good individual engineer. You are solving a niggle, without considering the human and engineering compromises you would discover if you worked in the industry.

You are perhaps trying to optimise for a one-person elevator trip, rather than thinking of what is the optimum for a repeated game with many concurrent trip players that includes both cooperator players and defector players. An elevator is a common good to its users.

If people could cancel a destination, then there is less incentive for people to have to prethink their destination before getting on the elevator. Leading to more likely to waste concurrent elevator users’ time in the long run?

If you could cancel a destination, defector players could cancel your destination to speed up their trip (with resulting policing and status meta-games etcetera).

Elevators mostly have the lowest-common-denominator for a UI. Where is the incentive for elevator purchasers (building procurement or facilities) to demand an improved UI? Would a manufacturer get any profit by providing an improved UI? Would such a UI be accessible to the blind? Discoverable? Usable? Cleanable? Predictable (e.g. elevator arriving indicators on destination floors)? Safety? Complexity?

There are a huge number of factors to building anything complicated.

Disclaimer: I’m not an elevator engineer. I feel your pain: I want a government department of niggles which catalogues minor complaints and gets them fixed. Although I admit I am pessimistic enough to think it would only end up increasing the total number of niggles due to second-order effects.
If they’re known by conventional wisdom to be expanding, wouldn’t the expansion be priced in?

"Surveillance capitalism is winning over the free software..." software that "just works" and offers the latest and the greatest features does, not "surveillance capitalism" or "open source developers".

"They have failed in their mission to stop all this closed-source software from spreading." except that was never the mission, the mission was to provide an alternative to complex licensing as well as simplify the improvement and development of things "everyone needs" both law-wise and code-wise.

The only mission that could be considered to be "failed" (depending on who you ask) is licensing.

Usually I think of being attracted to a married man as being attracted to someone unavailable.
I would be wary about doing this as I wouldn't want to hurt another woman.
However, I think that there can be a nice compromise where I make friends with more men, perhaps some of whom are married, if their wife knows about it.
I do think that a lot of marriages are unhappy, which is why being selective isn't such a bad thing.
It's better to be single than stuck in an unhappy relationship, in my point of view.

Wut? The service has already been rendered at that point. Without an upfront price, no contract has been formed, so there's no basis for the hospital to bill an unjustifiable amount. At best they could request reimbursement for cost incurred. eg $0.01 for an aspirin and not $60.

Step away from the science fiction for a while, we don’t have forcefields and aren’t getting them anytime soon. Satellites have few realistic ways to protect themselves from Kessler syndrome let alone any serious attacks by nation states.

Best bet is to stay in low enough that the atmosphere provides some protection, but that line gets blurry between satellites and aircraft.
