A since-deleted comment suggested that you'd need nuclear power to operate long durations under water decoys.

Not neceessarily. There's a fleet of solar-powered self-navigating sensor drone ships being developed.

Something quite similar, with a low detection profile, could drag an array undewater at submarine depth as desired. And presumably at low cost.

For all that data fuzzing is challenging, in this case (thin positive signal), it might work well, especially within the period of error / uncertainty around peak concern.

Best I can tell, Team R have 17 nuclear attack submarines, and 11 ballistic missile submarines. I suspect only a subset are active at any one time.

http://russianships.info/eng/today/

Team A have 50 nuclear attack submarines, and 14 ballistic missile submarines.

Decoys would have to successfully occupy enough hunter-killers to leave sufficient ballistic submarines for a counterattack.
>This idea that individuals shouldn't be market participants is a broken assertion that underlies much of our healthcare dysfunction

I do not assert this. I would much prefer transparent pricing and people being able to shop around.

> In the situation you're describing, the "insurance" company has zero market leverage over the ambulance provider, and so you're championing a specious "negotiation".

If this was true, then the ambulance company would not have accepted $500, and would instead demand the $12k they billed. It may be that the leverage is simply political or PR, but it must exist in order for them to come down from their fantasy list price.

I agree with your last paragraph, and that is the situation as of recent due to new laws passed about surprise billing and out of network restrictions for emergencies. As well as publicly listed prices.
I think we could but why build a whole base complete with nuclear weapons handling and reactor maintenance facilities on the Great Lakes? Just use the ones in Georgia/Washington.

It’s a fun thought exercise though!
Just curious what your monthly payments are like compared to your income.
Given the incentive structures of society, they pretty much do.

Employee tries to go against the flow? Management replaces them
Management tries to go against the flow? Ceo replaces them. Ceo tries to go against the flow? Board replaces them. Board member tries to go against the flow? They are outvoted or stock price crumbles.
No, if someone has lost their motivation to live, that is the fault of the community around them, and it’s the responsibility of society to fix the failures that led to that loss of motivation. The path to fixing these failures is not to offer state-sponsored (or at least state-sanctioned, as your comment implies) lethal injection for anyone who asks for it. That’s sweeping the problems under the rug.

I’m not religious in any way, but the ideas you suggest in your comment make me deeply uncomfortable, because they strike me as the ultimate betrayal of the miracle of random chance that led to our existence, with an almost lackadaisical disregard for human suffering, to the point of systemizing the process of ignoring it.
Sorry to hear this. Which OS and browser were you using? Do you have enough RAM? It is certainly an issue
Not much. Perhaps more than your worst imagination might conjure but not much better than that.

The US military budget is a back door for all sorts of social programs with really twisted incentives (twist may vary by program, GI Bill being among the most harmless). Because the social programs are buried in a military budget, the extent to which those programs are inclusive of those on the receiving end depends largely on the size of the receiving end (e.g. was military action taken?) and the extent to which the people on the receiving end deserve any consideration at all (e.g. language around accommodating victims of war will likely be more effective than no language around accommodating customers of weapons conducting their own wars).

By and large, neither extreme is especially beneficial to those on the receiving end of being outside our borders, unless we have a fairly lax immigration posture… which, is a laughable concept at this point. And the concept of burying social programs in a military budget laughs right along with that.

I think it’s deserving of the term ironic to point out that other historical examples of programs which work this way are largely prefixed “Soviet”, or at least were aligned that way.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet is challenging the assumption that people thrived. Most of the time they didn’t.

Hot summers were essentially downtime where people didn’t get much done. You can still see this in occupations and projects that occur outside, and on hot days people just don’t work.

To me this is one of the major reasons why The South is generally perceived as “behind the times”, or “slow”. However this seems to be changing in the past few decades as AC has become more affordable.
That must be fantastic news to the millions dead and tens of millions displaced by our fun ventures in the Middle East, the democracies destroyed in South America, and the countless millions suffering from proxy wars fueled with US arms.
I expect the meaning taken by the average person in different countries varies, without much overlap. My point is that mortgage products are very different in different countries, and the average person is very unfamiliar with the differences. Perhaps you are technically correct (the best kind of correct!)

For example, in Australia and NZ a “fixed rate”[1] mortgage is not the same as what you have called a “fixed rate” mortgage. Australia looks like it offers up to 10 years at a fixed rate on a 30 year mortgage (ANZ? some banks like Westpac only offer 5 years?). Banks in NZ offer up to 5 years, even though they are mostly Ozzie banks. Ozzie banks typically offer something called offset mortgages - that word doesn’t get used in NZ at all AFAIK (instead NZers can apply for a seperate revolving mortgage, I haven’t seen it bundled like in Oz).

What you call “variable rate” is called “floating rate” in New Zealand (and search completion hinted maybe the same for Canada & Singapore).

It is confusing.

Auto calibration can be disabled, popular sensors that can do this are MH-Z19 and MH-Z14 (also cheap ones).
The article hints at this, but peers and cultural values (aka an ambient expectation that everyone can do x, y & z) may be more important in pedagogy than the quality of instruction.

I had a TI-99/4a and had a Fourth implementation for it. I didn't have any manuals or guides for a beginner however. Whatever instructions it came with were like reading a foreign language. At that age I needed a progression of simple examples starting with "Hello, world" and of course there was no internet to easily find stuff like that.

I believe it. Back in college we started out with this visual tool called Raptor and it was a great introduction to programming before diving into more complicated languages like Java. While Raptor was fun, clearly Scratch would have been nicer.
i don't care about security. I am not losing sleep over china. I care about being censored for talking about covid or other issues. These big tech companies ban accounts for politically motivated reasons or no reason ,with no recourse and few or no good alternatives.
Shortening the time to target is one of the benefits (well, is that really the right term here?) of submarines, yes, but another is survivability for a retaliatory strike as a deterrent. Trident missiles have at least a 7,500 mile range. A couple in the Great Lakes would provide that with complete safety against Russian hunter-killer subs.
It’s more nuanced than this. It’s not “look at this image and tell me yes or no if there’s a car in it” it’s more like “tell me where all the cars are in this image, if any.” We use this a lot, and ramping up recall we can do some interesting use cases.

I assure you it’s highly useful in the real, real world.
I don't think this is what is meant by "calibration".
I'm surprised there is no mention of the pan-coronavirus vaccine the US Army has been working on, which is also a "nanoparticle" vaccine:

Prioritization does make sense. The overhead of selecting who benefits deprioritizes the beneficiaries and those who are selected out.
As I recall, it was because I had read up in my chemistry book about what would dissolve copper, and it mentioned nitric acid. So that's what I asked for.

Mrs. Spencer's Workshop was a class where you could pick out your own projects. She would get you the materials you needed, let you do your project, and help you if you got stuck.

You could say that she was my lab assistant here rather than my teacher.

The other safety question for me is why didn't either of us use eye protection!
As someone not working in security -- nobody working in security actually believed in that kind of stuff, right? Even my dumb self knows that the network is fundamentally full of evil nodes.

How did she get involved with joining those teams? Is that something she sought out herself? Are there programs that facilitate this?
We had something kind of similar, but designed to avoid merge contention. We had each PR include a randomly-generated number, and a `changelogs/` folder where you could add a `${number}.md` that was either blank or had a message that would be added to the changelog. After you made the PR, you could run a bash script to edit the PR to contain the number and generate the `${number}.md` file.

It felt kind of silly and I don't know if anyone actually looked at the changelogs, but it took 2 minutes out of my day and worked well.
All true.

I single out America because we are hurting the world the most (according to most global opinion since 2001), and because we have the most severe anti-intellectual streak (for like the last hundred years at least).

Still, even in Europe, the idea of separating potential "cream" from mere worker drones ought to make the hair rise on the back of your neck.

Again - basic income is very cool. Supporting talent is very cool. But let's not pretend that there wouldn't be huge resentment from something like the OP's proposal, everywhere and not just the US.

Given the history of rampant, blatant corruption, there are massive scaling challenges and totalitarian governmental controls are one of the easier approaches.

> Writing a parser by hand is tricky and not worth the alleged performance increases

Not my experience at all. It is easy and fun. And I can actually debug the parser instead of staring at generated noise/tables. And the performance is usually x2 or more, making it worth it for compiling large projects. Background: I am the maintainer of a high performance JIT optimising compiler for a Haskell like rules language used in production by commercial companies around the world.

And yes tests are absolutely necessary to maintain a commercial optimising compiler. I use a test suite of more than 9000 tests. The result is zero bugs in production the last 5+ years. The upfront cost is absolutely worth it because I can make massive changes to the internals of the compiler and still confidently release the result into production.

As for type checking: you typically won’t find any useful stuff in compiler books. However there is a massive amount of information available on type checking and type systems online. It is a huge research area and kinda the foundation of computer science. There are whole books dedicated to type checking and type systems alone.
I've never made the Flash connection but I totally agree.

On my end, I try not to worry too much on the gaming vs coding thing. I'd rather have my kids playing games on Scratch then some other place where they can't view source.

I figure, if they have some basic skills and know what's possible, they'll eventually get curious and poke around. I think that's more true for some kids then others though (even in my own house).
I will have to remember that next year. I just (hopefully) eliminated a nest along my front walkway. I usually get stung at least once every fall (that seems to be when they are most agressive) usually in the leg or foot and I'll swell up to to the point I can't wear a shoe for a few days.
They should come to me with their issues, not social media. If a mutually acceptable accommodation can't be reached, it's time to part ways. After that, then they can slag me off online all they want, short of slander.
It sounds like a pretty Java thing to do considering the prevalence of `null` and null-checks in the language. It's always interesting to see the habits that programmers bring from their main language(s) to ones they're picking up, especially when they're under pressure to deliver so they can't learn to program idiomatically.
There is a lot of research on this, and one of the largest results [1][2] shows that this association of IQ and societal contributions is robust even at the far end of the spectrum, with top quartile of already very bright SMPY cohort exceeding expectations.

Instead of plain FUD and denial of this inequality, we should develop sophisticated means of cognitive enhancement and make these available to all.

High School:Ask that girl out. Even if she said no, it would have been fine. Get a better hair cut. Spend more time with Dad.

Adult: Travel more before you get into a committed relationship (and eventually marry and have kids). The money will be fine. Be much kinder to your wife. She puts a lot of weight in it.
I was the primary parent for many years, and I regret doing it. The stigma of being a stay-at-home dad is just too extreme. First, it is nigh impossible to find parenting groups that allow men. So, you're stuck parenting solo without community support. Then, my wife would constantly have to defend me to her parents and her group of adamant feminists. They would ask questions implying that my status is low or that I was some sort of deadbeat. I was doing 90% of the housework and parenting. It kind of sucked for many years.
No. A construction says what to draw; a proof says why you’ve drawn the right thing.

Say we want to find the midpoint M of AB. Construction:

“Draw the circle centered at A through B and the circle centered at B through A. Let the two circles meet at C, D. Let AB meet CD at M.”

Proof:

“Since AC = AB = BC, C lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB. Since AD = AB = BD, D lies on it as well. Hence CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB. That means AM = BM, so M is the midpoint of AB.”
You're viewing this rather myopically. If someone texts us, we're operating under a valid presumption that they value their life, otherwise why text for help? We can't call EMS on someone we're unaware even exists.
Totally agreed. These are the counterexamples. I loved C&H and am glad that I don't have to deal with either of them trying to sell me toothpaste or car insurance. Super glad.

If someone has lost their motivation to live, then there could be many reasons for that. Society failure? Maybe. Could also be terminal illness, chemical imbalances, PTSD, or other things that are untreatable or uncurable.

Yes, the UK is relatively mild. That's why they've gotten away with less proactive measures and monitoring of tracks. With the weather getting more extreme, railways need to spend more to handle it. That's tough to accomplish when these for-profit companies try to eke out bigger profit margins each year.
I'm not sure the choice in the footer is that odd here. It appears as another code collaboration service to me and I assume it defaults to Chinese in China. I would likely not realise it's a project under Chinese protection if it wasn't mentioned here in context.

Unchecked vs Checked is one of the things I like least about Java. Programmers tend to make everything Unchecked because it leads to easier code for API users at the cost of correctness/error handling.
It would be fantastic.

However, tptb want us in the dirt. There's no other way to explain the legislative choices of the last 50 years.

And many - most, if not all - of the paths to creating a better future would fuck with their business. They pay very competent people in diverse fields to deal with such "threats" to their way of life.

So what was the argument?

I am quoting it directly so having difficulty understanding the discrepancy.

> It's a cultural thing that most Americans simply don't identify with or think about history prior to British/American colonization.

That is the claim

> There are still people living in medieval-era houses in the US and ruins that make Rome look young

This is technically true but highly misleading. There is one site in the US where oral tradition maintains that some parts of two of the structures were built prior to 1400. There has been no radiocarbon dating of the structures. The closest contemporaneous account is from 1540 and doesn't describe the structures in detail, only the settlement.

The ruins are not visible to most Americans,

> but they don't occupy anyone's mindspace when it comes to how they think of age.

The claim here is that despite the existence of medieval-era home and ancient ruins, Americans don't identify with history prior to colonization.

My counter argument is that the evidence for any medieval era homes is weak, and at most there are two, both located at one site. The ruins are extremely rare and far from population centers, which explains the lack of awareness.

It's true that most Americans don't identify with history prior to European colonization, but it's true _because of_ the lack of ruins and ancient homes, not in spite of their existence.

This is all in contrast to Europe where people see and interact with medieval era homes and buildings all the time.
There are studies comparing the protection offered by vaccination vs natural infection, so there's no need to draw conclusions from a single anecdote. Obviously when you're just looking at a single case the results will be dominated by behaviour and luck around exposure, not the degree of immunity.
