1. Radar has to scan more frequently to track a hypersonic.

2. Because they can change course at high speed, a slower intercept weapon will miss if it counts on predicting the flight path to intercept. At present this is how most surface to air and point defense weapons systems work.

3. Point defense systems may not be able to react fast enough to stop a hypersonic.

4. More kinetic damage. This is significant for ships.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. My parents grew up during a similar ethno-religious insurgency and the scars of growing up not knowing whether your parents or siblings would get back home safe because of sociopathic individuals on a powertrip continue to haunt them and our entire family to this day. When exclusive affiliations consumes your entire identity, this can become a dangerous combination

Also, a meta commentary @dang - why are a number of comments against the IRA being downvoted? There were no saints in the Troubles and it’s startling to see comments opposing an actual sectarian terrorist group being downvoted to oblivion.

Another excellent hack is to mentally prefix “I think “ in front of almost everything people say. “[I think] Democrats/republicans are idiots!”, “[I think] Micro-services/monolith is the best!”, “[I think] This PR is good/bad”

“I love you” is a tricky one.

Personally, I thought the ending scene was the best. The apathetic american and the corrupt policeman decided to continue to be friends. Rick's act of resistance against the Nazis was overlooked, a possible indication of the start of a resistance in Casablanca.
> Only accurate estimates can possibly be useful for planning

Nah, a best guess estimate is better than no estimate at all. If engineers don’t estimate it doesn't mean estimates go away, it just means they have moved responsibility of estimating away from the engineers to the management team (who will then need to make their own estimate of how difficult/expensive something is to do and how long it will take).

Besides, you can be accurate without being precise - and engineers can work to become more precice over time as they gain more experience.

A brief letter expressing the 'conventional' view, but it is missing a characterization of geo-economic reality of US embargo on Cuba for over 60 years. US and Israel being the only two countries in the entire world vetoing down to lift the embargo.

Of cause, philosophically socialism is defects from the first principles about nature of knowledge and human nature itself. Nevertheless, to lay at its feed the case of Cuba as the only factor is as an argument wrong.
>It's hard to read "ySo you want people to sit at home all day and collect free money" as anything but free leeching, lazy, people who don't deserve the money (obviously heavily reading between the lines).

It's hard to read because everyone has their own implicit assumptions. The anti-UBI advocate thinks it's an universal assumption that giving people free money makes them lazy. They're genuinely perplexed by UBI advocates, motivating them to ask "So you want people to sit at home all day and collect free money?" From your perspective, this question must be an implicit accusation of laziness even when they may think it's a genuine question.
Some Don'ts for IVR Systems
Pressurized fluid is used to keep the hole or well from collapsing. The fluid equalizes the formation pressure and keeps the hole from collapsing. This is called "mud engineering," Yes, it's a real thing, look it up! :)

Steel is really surprisingly flexible. You can press on a 30 foot length of 6" steel in the middle and it will deflect a lot. Modern drill strings can make 90' turn in as little as 100' to 200' feet and still rotate.

Friction is an issue. Friction is combatted with lubricants in the fluid (mud) and devices that are called agitators. Basically big vibrating tools that break the friction with small physical movement.

The drilling industry may not be the hot thing but there is literally 175 years of continuous innovation, A/B testing, and incremental improvement at work here.

I think you're missing the point - that system invites corruption of the appraiser. There's a nice kickback in it for someone who artificially inflates the appraisal of a worthless property and, forcing the city to buy it from the owner who is in cahoots with the appraiser. Leaving the citizens holding the bag of course.

> property taxes make sense for certain specific things that are tied directly to the property itself.

True, but that should be addressed with income tax, so that situations like losing a job for some time (not that impossible these days) doesn't force someone to sell the house.

In my country the main home is exempt, but from the 2nd one on there's a property tax on which I fully agree. I would go even further and tax more the 2nd+ houses that aren't offered for rent, so that there is enough offer that the demand doesn't drive prices up also for houses for sale.

That may be a local phenomenon having no equivalent in the US, but I observed the tendency to keep a lot of houses empty and unused, some well connected construction entepreneurs build entire condos then keep them empty for years after they're completed. My only possible explanation is that they're keeping the offer low in order to keep the demand high, therefore driving or keeping the prices up. Well thought taxes should address this problem without hitting the poor, but some of those people are so well connected with politicians that this is not going to happen anytime soon.

Respectfully, that seems to be what your parent comment says :).

> I think for junior developers that might be true.

That strongly implies, if not outright says, "this only inflicts junior engineers".
The part about constraints is kind of muddled. Constraining the scope of your project is not the same thing as working within a set of externally imposed constraints, which is what people are usually referring to in stories about how being forced to do more with less led to an unexpected innovation of some kind. The former is really just defining the scope of the project, which is covered in the following section.
To quote someone I know in Alzheimer research - “I’m pretty sure it’s all fake”

It’s funny because more than once I’ve had conversations off-the-record with people who had the same concerns.

What I think is most troubling is how long it took and how many papers support the claims.

In other words, there are thousands of papers supporting beta-amyloid and/or building off the data / theory. All of that data and everyone conducting that data should be in question. Yes, sometimes you’ll see correlations even though the mechanism is not what you’d expect. That said, for 16 years? Lol

No, in reality, this should indicate there is systemic fraud in the industry. I don’t think everyone’s a fraud, it’s as much about what doesn’t get published as what does get published. How does this happen? I commented on incentives prior here: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=32213123

I personally don’t see how we can advance science with the current credentialing and paper citation == academic success we’ve seen grow the last 50 years. In many ways, fundamental research has stalled, with applications of research advancing (giving us the illusion of advancing the fundamentals).

To fix this problem, an overhaul is needed. Most importantly, the gate keeping mechanisms should be removed.
You can build decentralized domain name systems with revocation. Many of the people building such things wouldn't be big into adding deplatforming into the base layer, though.

Funny that.

I also don't think that it's all "up-front" in the the same fiscal year.
It hasn’t been ruled out, it just hasn’t been able to be identified either.

Some research is ongoing related to viral infection from some common viral species for instance.

The problem is that we have non-destructive and reliable way to image or sample the brain at the resolutions necessary to see what is going on right now.

If you can’t see or sense what’s happening until it’s too late, it’s really hard to figure out what is going on.

If doing post-Mortem brain biopsies (most common way) for Alzheimer’s patients and the plaques is the equivalent of picking through the wreckage of a lost war, it’s pretty hard to figure out who was the enemy and who was collateral damage.
>Closing schools never really made sense for the children once it was identified that the virus attaches via ACE2 receptors

After bemoaning failure to consider second-order effects this seems like making the same mistake - It was a good news that kids were less susceptible to severe infection but protecting children was not the sole purpose of closing schools. Kids were still susceptible to infection and could still spread the disease to adults. Schools were a mixing pot for kids to get infected and then go home to infect adults who might then suffer more severe effects.

I think even in retrospect it holds up very well as an effective means (amongst many others) of slowing spread.
The fact that they didn't shoehorn a token or blockchain into the app's design is amazing and refreshing. Blockchains are a terrible solution for 99.9% of problems. The ONLY reason a vast majority of projects incorporate a token is to enrich the founders. Hats off

How did the firefox team handle it? They have moved parts to Rust while the rest is still C++.
Namibia is on our want-to-see-the-country-list. We both enjoyed a number of african countries quite a lot. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mosambique and Swasiland we traveled already. Of course travling through and living in a country are two completely different things. Nevertheless, we will have to re-evaluate our current list of possible countries and put Namibia on it. We left out Africa especially because of the political instability of many countries and the connected dangers for caucasean type like us. Thanks a lot for your recommendation.
A FizzBuzz is a for loop and if-elif-elif-else in the simplest implementation. If you can’t come up with code for it (given the full problem statement, of course), then you can’t program at all.
I'll admit it's just a hunch telling me you don't actually need experiments on extremely high temperature plasma to prevent a reaction that never naturally takes place on earth.

Intuitively, simply not building a bomb seems sufficient to prevent any accidental detonations.

But I'm of course no expert.
The antibiotics are a good analogy. It does feel like we rushed back “out” into the world at the first sign things were “better”.
Yeah I don't really understand that either. I have never written D myself but everyone I've looked at the language it has seemed to have sensible solutions to things and I would much rather write that than C++.

I guess it hasn't as good interoperability with existing C++ as Carbon is aiming for (I don't think, could be wrong) and wouldn't give Google as much control of it as it probably will have over Carbon.
There's no technical reason it couldn't, but a big non-technical one: it doesn't allow for the rent-seeking behavior that supports ICANN and the internet name industry.
I agree with everything you wrote, but you didn’t answer the question: what is the alternative?
…or we're just running out of names that are puns of "C" for C++ successor languages, so things that were deprecated a decade ago are now fair game?
I suppose the difference is if the person actually lives in and contributes to the community or not.

Many properties bought by Asians and Russians in tier 1 western cities (London and Toronto are the obvious examples) are not even lived in; they are simply places to store wealth since the home regime isn't trusted.

Abstract:

The Mozart effect is the purported increase in spatial-reasoning performance immediately after exposure to a Mozart piano sonata. Several laboratories have been unable to confirm the existence of the effect despite two positive reports from the original laboratory. The authors of the original studies have provided a list of key procedural components to produce the effect. This experiment attempted to produce a Mozart effect by following those procedural instructions and replicating the procedure of one of the original positive reports. The experiment failed to produce either a statistically significant Mozart effect or an effect size suggesting practical significance. This general lack of effect is consistent with previous work by other investigators. We conclude that there is little evidence to support basing intellectual intervention programs on the existence of the Mozart effect.

I can't understand this. Is this just putting "serial numbers" on sats? Like the ordinal part can't be relevant at all to an application its pure convention. Any permutation of the numbers would provide the same identity, but ordinal is computable and specifiable.

So having the "first" block and paying more for it is just as stupid as paying for a dollar with a particular serial number. Its only a market for sats in the sense of a group of speculators imagining an indistinguishable permutation has value over another. So the 8008135 sat is "more valuable" because of its assignment to an arbitrary string?

Like the value is the creation of distinguishability through convention?
More than likely we'll forget all about it in 10-15 years time and will repeat the same mistakes. Science will see it but governments won't.
> If you want to to upgrade your CPU you often have to replace the motherboard.

That's true for Intel and their "Tick-Tock" cycle which breaks compatibility every other year. So far AMD's commitment to AM4 has shown that it's possible to upgrade a 5 years old motherboard to the latest CPU. Let's hope their next AM5 socket gets the same longevity.
Because Rust is equally a terrible language to work with unless you're aligned with the objectives of the languages.

Go is a bigger language than Rust, it's not surprising to see people move over, that doesn't mean it's going to get used.

You're also vastly underestimating the number of people who otherwise like C++ and wish there was just an easier to use version.

For example - if 'Magic Carbon' somehow got rid of the ugly parts of C++, integrated smart pointers into the syntax, made the tooling, builds more robust, and somehow made it possible to integrate with C/C++, it'd be my new favourite language.
The problem with acceptable bounds is when they're applied uniformly to all your code monkeys without adjusting for experience and mental state at any point in time and we can't sample those values in real-time.

Performance metrics are often too noisy to be useful so proper bounds are too difficult to set without the "experience" of seeing the team work over a very long period of time.

Predicting the future of a high entropy system is predicted to always be hard if you're aiming for 99% accuracy. Solving for hard problems AND solving for this particularly hard problem on a daily basis is less energy efficient than if you stop trying to predict the future at every standup and trust that your average best guess while ignoring the future is good enough to keep you going until the end of this task.

TL;DR: Spend less energy sampling the efficiency of human creativity and spend more (but still not too much) on removing barriers that limit creativity.
That’s quite regrettable. It’s a safe vaccine that totally eliminates chickenpox and adult shingles. It’s a standard childhood vaccine in the US and has been for some time.

As someone who’s suffered though fairly severe shingles twice, I’m a fan of this being eliminated.
I mean, in this case, no one's forcing. More like advocating.

And git is a very flexible tool with a lot of generic functions. Pull requests themselves are a prescriptive style of using those generic functions. A "Branchless" workflow is not the author failing to understand git. It's using those functions differently.

And I fail to see how it's worse that workflow constraints may be placed on a very generic tool like git to work better with more specialized tooling in other places.

>I've met a lot of people whose concern for others drops off sharply beyond their own family and friends.

This is why Hierocles the Stoic had the right idea when he pushed people to move one circle over. This is a far more practical goal than striving for a "just world".

Each one of us is as it were entirely encompassed by many circles, some smaller, others larger, the latter enclosing the former on the basis of their different and unequal dispositions relative to each other. The first and closest circle is the one which a person has drawn as though around a centre, his own mind. This circle encloses the body and anything taken for the sake of the body. For it is virtually the smallest circle, and almost touches the centre itself. Next, the second one further removed from the centre but enclosing the first circle; this contains parents, siblings, wife, and children. The third one has in it uncles and aunts, grandparents, nephews, nieces, and cousins. The next circle includes the other relatives, and this is followed by the circle of local residents, then the circle of fellow-tribes-men, next that of fellow-citizens, and then in the same way the circle of people from neighbouring towns, and the circle of fellow-countrymen. The outermost and largest circle, which encompasses all the rest, is that of the whole human race.

Once these have all been surveyed, it is the task of a well tempered man, in his proper treatment of each group, to draw the circles together somehow towards the centre, and to keep zealously transferring those from the enclosing circles into the enclosed ones ... It is incumbent on us to respect people from the third circle as if they were those from the second, and again to respect our other relatives as if they were those from the third circle. For although the greater distance in blood will remove some affection, we must still try hard to assimilate them. The right point will be reached if, through our own initiative, we reduce the distance of the relationship with each person.
