I don't think much of what it written in that article is up for debate? You can check his wikipedia page for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo_Abe#Political_positions...

"Abe is affiliated with the openly ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference). He is considered a right-wing populist and ultra-conservative within the LDP, and some media and books have referred to him as a far-right politician"

There were also numerous scandals during his tenure, most of which were not widely reported outside Japan... but, an example is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritomo_Gakuen

"In March 2018, it was revealed that the finance ministry (with finance minister Tarō Asō at its head) had falsified documents presented to the parliament in relation to the Moritomo Gakuen scandal, to remove 14 passages implicating Abe."
The title doesn't match that of the article, “Former Japan PM Abe Unconscious After Shooting; Man in Custody”. The word assassinated is incorrect, because that means that he was killed. (Maybe he is dead, but the article doesn't say that.)
The article seems to be implying vaccines are the cause...

A more rational alternative might be the entire medical system is under increased stress and people have been avoiding care/treatment.
The years will fly by faster than you think. Kids nowadays will be flooded with things our parents never had to worry about.

When young, your child may have medical scares. Find the best Hospital in your area and get your child seen by them. In the worst case scenario, you know where to go and they already have your info on file. In my part of America, a significant number of kids are allergic to nuts, gluten, and other things that no one else in their family was allergic to.

You should start worrying about their schooling as early as possible. Their school will influence where you decide to live and your free time. By that I mean their after school activities are your activities and you will zero time for anything else but work and your family.

Today’s dangers are unique. At least in the USA. I had to warn my child about predators on the internet. No webcam or microphone until he was 12. No mobile phone until he was 14. I drilled in him what fentanyl is. Drug dealers cheat by substituting fentanyl for other illegal drugs. If they get the dosage wrong. You can die like Prince. Even breathing in pure fentanyl can kill you. With the all the shootings, I drilled the Run Hide or Fight mantra.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just have a different one.
My reading of that statement is that there's no problem with mandatory cross-licensing. Instead it's about other companies - who did not help with AV1 development - being strong-armed into joining the cross-licensing agreement.
> Using optical rather than RF doesn't really change the game that much.

The precision required for aiming is directly related to the wavelength. Iridium NEXT satellites use Ka band with a wavelength around ten millimeters where anything light related has a wavelength measured in hundreds of nanometers.

The forward/backward links are a lot easier than the inter-plane links, but it's still not trivial because you're trying to hit an object the size of a small car with a laser from over 1000 miles away. Not impossible by any means, but there's not a lot of margin for error when they're looking to be able to transfer around 100 gigabits per second over this link. Other FSO systems work at significantly lower bandwidth and/or shorter range. That's not even getting in to the inter-plane links, where the target is constantly moving even in a relative sense.
People nowadays, they get multiple full-time remote jobs
The EV tax credit doesn't apply at all to the Hummer EV, so you have your wish.

But what we need is a full carbon tax of about $250/tonne of CO2 (eventually), as that's approximately the fully accounted social cost and is also about the long-term cost to suck the CO2 out of the air and store it. Then there wouldn't be any need to subsidize anything except for the usual industrial policy/tech dev reasons as the externalities would be priced in.
AFAICT, it's an opinionated refactoring of the core because... Reasons.

The devs might want to consider the lost time, and ultimate impact, of Flickr rewriting its internals for... Similar reasons. Sure, the project may seem unwieldy, but major refractors or rewrites are never worth it.
I feel like you’re being unnecessarily confrontational.

You wrote “changes that hit production were reviewed by another developer. This isn’t something we were doing…”

I cited PR as an example of a change and you’re acting like I’m trying to argue that PR reviews alone stop insider threats. (I’m not.)

There are lots of way to change production. To me it looks like you said effectively one person could do so without being checked by another person. To me that sounds like a hole for problems to drive through. And that SOC2 was the impetus for you to tighten it.

If I’m wrong, you can take it as feedback on your writing, I guess. You know what you wanted to write; I’m telling you what I read.

Or you can just treat me like I’m an idiot if you want. I don’t think I’m an idiot, and I’m not the only person you’re being combative with.
This news about Abe is definitely a bit shocking, but nowhere near as scary as the indiscriminate killings we keep hearing about from the US.

If you're a high profile politician, having a target on your back is basically part of the job description. The fact that "being a US resident" is now on more or less the same level, is a bit scary.
That being said his historical revisionism seems like a damn shame. I personally didn't know about that. However, I don't take all of the claims made by Jacobin seriously.

Even here it tries to paint Japan trying to create it's own army as a bad thing when it is clearly in response to territorial aggressiveness from China.
Covid deaths are undercounted because not every death involves a covid test to verify cause?
At the very least he’s an apologist for Japanese war crimes. Also pretty fascist imo but whatever, I’m also just some rando on the internet who could cherry pick articles to support whatever narrative I was looking for or am already biased towards.

> One of the governments jobs is to make sure externalities are accounted for, and ICEs should not get a free ride by not dealing with their pollution.

Should be a tax on ICE vehicles rather than EV credits. The former is not inflationary and charges directly for the externality.
1995 was an eternity ago. Fewer than 100 people died. I am not scared of Japan, but I am scared of one country that has no gun control.
so much for FSD...
Not sure what you've tried, but here are a few more options with the Java version:

Try ProGuard, which can remove classes that aren't being used from your fat JAR. Sometimes you'll have to tweak the configuration to keep classes that it doesn't realize are being used, though (due to reflection use or whatever).

Try GraalVM, which can compile the entire thing to a native binary without a dependency on a JVM, even. I believe this will mean a separate build for each platform you want to support, though.

Not sure if these will lower the size of the download, but they're worth a try.

> The root cause of gun violence is societal issues, not the guns themselves. Solve those societal issues (hard, and likely almost intractable unfortunately), or gun violence will persist.

We have what, near 200 examples of other countries who are able to do better? It's almost like it doesn't require a society with no (vaguely alluded to) issues to prevent many gun crimes and mass shootings, and it's more about being able and willing to add common-sense restrictions instead of being committed to an extreme "no restrictions" policy.

> will not stop people like the one at 4th july, nor those school shootings. Unless the gun control laws completely outlaw civilians owning guns - which i dont think will fly.

The perpretator of that attack had the biggest of red flags for a long time. He should _not_ have been able to legally purchase a firearm.
And you desire this to continue? Isn’t she just mindlessly parroting what you say?
geo companies don't care much about launch cost since it's infrequent, and SpaceX has not shown starlink has a path to be profitable. I know it's the cool thing to do to love SpaceX, but separate the launch from the satellites. the latter hasn't shown it's sustainable unless there's a large influx of government subsidies.
I hope you have an umbrella, because there's rain in the forecast for the coming times. Torrential, even.
Still, not declared dead. It doesn't look hopeful, though.
In the latter case, there is precedent. Elon promised to revolutionize space travel, he's done so. He promised to revolutionize electric cars, he's done so. He promised to revolutionize intercity traffic, that didn't pan out. Clearly you can see the difference between him and someone that's never delivered on what they promised.
"Not snappy" is an understatement. It's a memory hog, and can visibly lag (keystrokes and mouse clicks) on my 3-year-old laptop depending on the project I have open. I probably wouldn't use anything else for Java or Scala development, but ugh, I would not call it pleasant to use from a performance perspective.
But the keychain is one-way encrypted and Apple doesn't have the key to decrypt it.
Patents hinder competition; this is a sensible response to take patents out of the picture. It's advantageous to anyone making use of media and looking to avoid the gatekeeping associated with MPEG formats.

At one point, copyleft was under fire on antitrust grounds, based on similar arguments. Fortunately that was defeated on the basis that it wasn't actually bad for consumers, quite the opposite in fact. Hopefully this attack will be defeated similarly.
I think... it's better to have no product managers than to have ineffectual product managers. And to be effective, you really need 4+ product managers comprising a team. You want them to be able to stand up to both engineering and management. You want them to be a force within the company. Otherwise, you end up with powerless product managers who just get paid to do nothing.
Some companies have 4+ product managers, but they embed them in different teams, and forbid them from working together. Seems like a huge mistake to me.
What I mean by openly demonstrated to work is some sort of public demo that would require use of the inter-satellite links. The linked article just says they've started testing and been able to move data, which means nothing about how well it actually works.

I'd even be satisfied by specific claims of test results that could be validated once the capability is officially activated.
Why are batteries typically measured in miles, rather than years and or recharges? Age and charge cycles are the two hardest things on batteries, not distance traveled. I for example will not drive 500k in my life, but I'm sure the battery is going to have much less capacity and life left in 10 to 20 years regardless.
We need some petition to stop this madness.
Here’s where you started:

> Try to get to Manhattan without paying the city a toll, for a helicopter permit, or a public transit ticket. I'll wait.

Which was trivially answered. But now you want convenience.

I am not sure why you’re fixated on this. Venice charges you per person per day to enter and stay in Venice. This is in addition to highway tolls on the way to Venice and tolls to cross the bridge to enter Venice. Roads aren’t free. Bridges aren’t free.

NYC does not charge a fee per person per day, but you will similarly pay to cross bridges.

So to recap for you:

In Italy you pay to travel to Venice via your preferred method of travel. In Venice you pay a fee per person per day.

In the US you pay to travel to NYC via your preferred method of travel. In NYC you do not pay a fee per person per day.

Hope that simplified things enough for you.
If he has no vital signs at his age, he's dead. Very few people make it back from CPR, and if they do they're usually going to suffer serious consequences for the rest of their life from it.
which is exactly what starlink will be when it has enough customers. it's already having a slow decline in speeds as the network fills, and it's not even close to capacity in most areas.
Living in California for four decades I have definitely heard people living here call it Cali. California is large and diverse, not everyone speaks like you do.
I stopped a few pages into the survey. What is up with this ridiculous trend? I automatically hate any app that does this. Stop treating your users like idiots.
> Additionally there's the issue that their operating licenses don't allow inter-satellite communications.

This is of course a much easier problem to solve than putting a dynamic mesh network in space.
Company maintaining patent pool to strong-arm others: how dare you strong-arm us into not strong-arming others?
Indeed, governments should probably be subsidizing solar panels more heavily than they have been. As I said, obviously it requires the available skilled labor and capital investment to produce/install vastly more than we are currently but there are really no physical limits stopping that currently, just economical ones because the price signals are wrong.
Maybe it is just misreported or miscommunicated so far. We'll probably know within a day.
Such bots have, however, helped me to up my /ignore game.
Normally I avoid sites like Noom for life, even after they get rid of the surveys.

This has some kind of neurolinguistic programming/hypnotism feel where someone is trying to nonconsensually take your money. It's like a salesman asking you if you have problems, and they're always trying to reinforce in your mind that you have problems that go away once you give them the money.

It just feels really creepy and dirty.

With CBT, the user putting a lot of trust in the app and this feels like a violation of the trust before anything starts.
This trend is the worst thing in apps. Stop it. Just show me what you offer and how much it is. Your users are smart and they want a solution to a problem. Don’t treat them like they are stupid.
And then there's the impact of false positives. You could even get a situation like we have with some CAPTCHAs where the best fakes are "hyperreal" and actually detect as less suspicious than many real images.
Sure. And this situation, repeated tens of thousands of times a year, is why the Baltimore city schools are so problematic. I'm not high-horsing you; I did the same thing with my kids. It was an amoral thing to do, but I did it anyways.
Great to hear that you found something that works for you. If guided meditation works for you almost every night, then you should certainly stick with it! For many of our patients (including myself), guided meditation worked in the short term but then stopped working because it didn’t actually resolve their underlying insomnia (e.g., for me, a lot of my insomnia came from distortive thoughts I had about sleep).

Our app is different from pure meditation/relaxation apps that offer “rain sounds”. Instead, we go through a psychology-based program (behavioral therapy) that walks you through the underlying causes of insomnia, helps you address the ones that are relevant to you, and uses techniques like sleep restriction therapy to limit the amount of time you spend in bed.

I’ll give an example. Let’s say when you go to bed at night, you’re constantly thinking about unfinished todos or worrying about some big upcoming event. While meditation and “rain sounds” might help distract you enough to fall asleep, what if you stopped having those thoughts in bed in the first place? That’s what our app aims to do.

In terms of pricing, we do offer a free, 7-day trial and our price ends up being about $45 per month. In comparison, seeing an in-person treatment specialist costs about $150-200 per session without insurance, or $25-$50 per session with insurance. Typically, you would see an in-person specialist every week or every other week.
The assassination attempt is indeed tragic. As for his being a good person, many would disagree. Unfortunately, both within and without Japan, he is a controversial figure. Even if one takes his armament of Japan in a sympathetic light, his historical revisionism, courting of the ultra-right, and tone-deaf nationalism caused troubles domestically and with its neighbors.

All this is unfortunate as he genuinely boosted Japan's economy, doing much to Japan's status in the world[1]. The sibling comments here linked some blog posts calling him a "fascist" or just a patriot ("civic nationalist"). The reality is somewhere in between.

Have the bot tell both users that it's randint(18,25)/f/cali, then connect both users together and get some popcorn ready.
> I am sorry, but it will stop if guns are banned for ordinary people.

and i do believe that this idea doesn't fly in the USA. The culture doesn't allow it. Gun control in the USA can, and will, only ever go as far as checks and registries. It will forever remain a place where anyone, after passing checks, will be able to acquire a gun.

There are countries with large gun ownership rates too - finland comes to mind. Those countries have good education, social safety net, healthcare, and other societal support, such that people don't become deranged or fall into crime (as easily).

Of course, having some gun control laws will help - i am all for a complete registry of guns (which doesn't exist in the US - and fuck those who are against it). But it's not a panacea. Effort and political capital spent on trying to get gun control means effort not spent on social progress, which is a deeper root cause of the problem.
That is a slippery slope to every state having restrictive NY-like gun laws.

I don't care about legal or cultural precedent in germany or the EU. This isn't germany. The US plays a far more important role in global affairs, and as such must take more dramatic measures to prevent it from falling into the hands of some regime, those measures include the right to bear arms as well as freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
bandwidth per dollar is what matters, and Leo is not as good as geo in that regard. if you threw the same amount of money SpaceX is putting into starlink into a viasat-3 you'd have more bandwidth and better coverage.
Really neat! I’ve been wanting to make something similar for _years_ to be a standardized data modeling testbed as I explore/experiment/prototype some new feature or problem space or even doing ad-hoc fixes. I think this is a much better starting place than spreadsheets/similar.

Good luck with the project! Seems like you’ve got some good interest :-)

the pen used for voting has more power than a gun to prevent the US from falling into the hands of "some regime".
Noah (who recently praised Taiwanese politicians for the extremely materialistic point of them sometimes being cosplayers) is not much of a deeper thinker than most stuff in Jacobin.

Abe is in Nippon Kaigi. He is a nationalist. He pushed for revising the constitution to remove the purely self-defense nature of the SDF. This is not a popular idea in Japan. It is barely a popular idea in his party! The guy also liked the idea of picking a fight with China.

Now of course there are more intense people in Japan, but the guys a nationalist, and would push for unpopular ideas along that axis!

Is he a fascist? He supported more nationalist education reform that minimized wartime questions, was involved in a personal scandal with a far right school, pushed for more expansive police powers… I mean a lot of the stuff aligns. The label itself doesn’t matter, but you can look at the details and judge based on that.

Noah’s analysis is that he got more people into jobs and got the military to be bigger.

Since the current US government is anti-tech as well, EU and CN governments are cranking up the pressure to get more money from the US tech. I guess this will last until next administration which will do the same to the EU companies. Once tariffs come for Bosch, and EU giants it will even out.

Both governments will get more money, customers will pay higher prices, tech giants will keep making money. Everyone wins, somehow.
