Neptune has a 150kg warhead, and the sat images show craters the size of a Suchoi, so ~20m(?). I am really not an expert but that seems a bit of a huge hole for a relatively modest warhead.

The Hrim-2 (Grim/Grom) reportedly has a 500kg warhead. Maybe someone can correct me, but it seems more likely to me.
“Turn sideways to expose deep fakes” was on the front page yesterday. I can only assume it’s because of candidate fraud.
It is quite possible we could live in a post-scarcity economy today, at least in rich countries, if we chose to eliminate scarcity on food and clothing and shelter and health care.

During the pandemic, many (most?) US schools stopped charging to feed kids during the school day. Food suddenly became free. My own daughter still brought lunch from home every day, but a lot of kids ate better than they had been, and food scarcity, in that small context, stopped being an issue. This year they seem to be ending that, but it definitely demonstrated that we could do more than we are, if we wanted to.
I’d be willing to bet this was an anti-competitive move. Eliminate the small, foreign vehicles in one go.

Apologies for my misunderstanding. I meant zero hate or vitriol.

I categorised 'wish you the best' the same as 'thoughts and prayers' but you probably didn't mean it like that. I wanted to draw a contrast between actions that only effect an individual, like your example of quitting a bad job, and actions that effect society, i.e. changing the rules to close the loopholes that businesses use to exploit their workers.

I think we both agree that systematic societal change would be a good thing. Cool.
I did such thing at least twice (unintentionally). Usually there is a quite simple way to overcome this - cultivate review process and some some of tech meetings, where your '10x dev' can talk about their approach and others have chance to criticise it. If other devs don't care enough to challenge 10x and just roll with it, well then they have it coming.

Comparing with 2008-2014(?) this is literally nothing. People are also way more resilient after surviving/witnessing it, COVID and now war in Europe.

Anyway I believe late 20's/early 30's is the worst age to deal with a recession, specially if you happen to work in field correlated to economic growth (like architecture). At that time I lost everything (job, investments, fiancée, expat lifestyle and probably mental health). Were I older and more "established" (or younger and less accountable) everything could have been different. I didn't fully recover from that time yet. Most of my peers didn't too. Most likely we never will.
This is why one always rinses plants off before consumption.
Because the only good stuff done is donation of money, with everything else done by salarymen. For me that is something lost.
Sure, that's one of the reasons. The other reason is that the people buying trucks prefer bigger trucks. Just the same as the people buying SUVs prefer buying bigger SUVs and people buying cars want bigger cars.

But sure, it's Obama's fault.
Ego is why people buy trucks. Regulations disincentivize Chrysler from selling an economy cars.

Also, trucks have some of the highest inventory levels of any new vehicle type right now. If ego is the only way to explain this, why did folks buy so many more trucks last year? Did the American ego Change more than gas prices?
Being a good executive or good manager is actually very hard and thankless. When you're at the top there's no one to pat you on the back and say "good job" or "how are you feeling?" and everyone either sees you as a villain or is waiting for an opportunity to slit your throat and take over. The last few years i've been surrounded by execs and high-up managers at my clients and firm. I don't envy their positions honestly, maybe the comp is good but the stress and pressure isn't something i could handle. And i say that has someone in a fairly stressful and pressurized role.

What's weird to me is that this, again, is such a uniquely American problem.

While in Europe cars have also increased in size, I believe the largest of them is at least a magnitude smaller than the abomination that is Ford F250, for example.
MTK source code is(was?) available from the actual device manufacturer.

"Bigger trucks pose a greater hazard to pedestrians and smaller vehicles"

It's an arms race.

I used to live near a couple who were both doctors in the ER and they both drive the biggest trucks that they could find because they saw that people in large trucks tended to be fare better in accidents.

I have a small sedan for myself and a smallish SUV for my wife and kids. I feel pressure to upgrade both to something larger.

> because the right to not have other people's choices imposed on you is a made-up right

I agree with this statement. Actually, I consider this more of a principle than a right. Society should aim to minimize the degree to which it imposes the will of the government on the citizens, not fundamentally because freedom is an a priori right, but because it leads to a more peaceful society.

A society where the citizens do not tolerate would be tyrants that want to excessively dictate how people live, tends to be (EDIT) more stable, innovative or economically competitive over time.

Citizens of a freedom-loving society may not all understand this from first principles. Even if most believe they have such a right somewhat dogmatically, it may still have the same outcome.

Dogmatism may come with the downside of seeing people with different opinions as evil, though, and may sometimes lead to needless conflict.

The OP misunderstands: science, by its modern definition, is the ideas and policy choices that liberals want to pursue and exudes everything they oppose. Nothing more, nothing less.

[This is more a swipe about the corruption that happens when terms get swept up into becoming political labels, than a swipe at any particular party]
They'll go with the grain for now. It's easier to sell people on "this truck is electric, but otherwise the same" than on "this truck is electric and smaller, but all you need".

Once the majority of trucks is electric they'll have an easier time finding their own identity, which likely includes getting smaller.

I am from Romania, I know how it is done, you need just a spark and a few people with courage to start it, it also helps if the army won't fire on their own parents and brothers but I have no idea if Putin brainwashed or brought in Moskow the most retard of the retards of soldiers (we in Romania know about presidents using brainwashed, less intelligent people to do the dirty thing too).

It really depends on how well Putin brainwashing works, and how many Russians will move the blame for their poor economy to nazzis, gays and their mean neighbors that for illogical reasons want to enter into a defensive alliance.
I just looked at this for 30 seconds, do you just XOR everything together? Then you could XOR it with all the numbers 1 to n again to get just the duplicate number, as every number would appear in the XOR twice except the duplicate number which would appear once.

Edit: I misread the problem :D I initially read it as every number appears once and one number appears twice, but alas it's not so simple :D

Not exercised options. Exercised options and resale, likely with a 2 year hold period. Otherwise, you are essentially paying income tax via short-term capital gains.
Vehicle tax in much of Switzerland is decided by the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). Important distinction of GVW is that it takes into account the maximum permissible operating weight, if the vehicle is fully loaded.

Drive a heavier car, pay more tax. Funnily enough, you don't see a lot of pickup trucks or minivans.

Science is also a corpus of knowledge that can be used to inform policy decisions.
Correlation doesn't prove that two things are related; it does suggest it though. And a lack of correllation doesn't prove the two things are unrelated.

So a correlation between general BJW and dishonesty might be because both phenomena have the same underlying cause. That doesn't render the research meaningless. On the contrary, the correlation means that something is going on, and we need to look into what that is.
GM gives customers no choice but to buy from another manufacturer to avoid subscription fees?

Although I'm sure that won't last long either.
Maybe i'm being ignorant, but why don't you just not work for the company that has few or no Indians? Because other nations of course don't know about which last name means which caste or would ever care about it, you won't be a subject for discrimination. And besides, these places will probably pay better anyway.
The Chicken Tax doesn’t help either for manufacturers to build small light trucks.
I’m adjusting my tinfoil hat as I type this, but can you even buy a recent non-commercial passenger vehicle without some data connection in hardware? Shoot, some even have WiFi hotspots now.

And for those that don’t, there’s probably one or more cell phones in the cab. Probably some open airdrops even. So many e-flys down.

The mandatory subscription doesn’t seem that shocking - that’s just a different flavor of hiding the total price. Wouldn’t be buying a car without that. (Should be.)

The hardware though, this mandatory subscription just puts it in bold. Plenty of makes and models have the (sort of) hardware by default, you can take or leave the subscription and associated benefits. Please take it of course, but that hardware connection is installed either way. In case you change your mind!

Right so the GIL improvements which (probably?) made it into 3.2 solves thrashing but introduces latency during "negotiation" for the GIL.

> What David illustrated is that GIL makes it harder to mix CPU- and IO-bound tasks in the same process. But coroutines are not the solution here. Solution is not to mix them.

Which I believe is my point and why I forwarded the personal notion that there really is only two acceptable concurrency models in Python. Coroutines solve cooperative scheduling for things that can be cooperatively scheduled. Threads _could_, but in Python specifically threads are strictly inferior as they have additional overhead by nature. In slightly different phrasing, Threads can be nearly or even acceptably equivalent to coroutines in performance, but they will never be better so long as Python has a GIL.

For everything else there is Multiprocessing (for example segmenting CPU processing from IO over separate processes).
The problem with this stuff is that they are manipulating govt to take people's money in order to promote their own vision of what is good at taxpayer expense. I suppose they think their concept of good is better than everyone else's.
You didn't answer the question, you just reiterated that lead is bad.

Is this 40x the chance of getting hit by a comet, or 40 games of Russian roulette.

The study talks about increased blood lead levels ~1 to 1.4 μg/dL. Now how risky is that? The CDC has alert levels for children of 5 ug/dL, recently revised from 10 ug/uL.

What the measurable impact is from 5ug, let alone 1 ug is hotly debated because it is so difficult to asses.

Here is the study they cross reference:

>Our IEUBK model predictions suggested that consuming one egg per day with a lead concentration less than 100 μg/kg, in addition to the model’s default lead exposure from diet and all other sources, would result in estimated GM blood-lead concentration increases of less than 1 μg/dL in children. However, daily consumption of one egg with the highest lead concentration we found in eggs from NYC community gardens (167 μg/kg) would increase GM blood-lead concentrations by 1 to 1.4 μg/dL, and daily consumption of one egg with 300 μg/kg lead would increase GM blood-lead concentrations by as much as 2.4 μg/dL, well above the 1 μg/dL guideline.

The IEUBK model output was also used to estimate the number of eggs children could consume without excessively increasing blood-lead concentrations. Among children 1 – 6 years of age, the model output suggested that an increase in dietary lead intake of up to 5.6 μg/day for 1 to 2 year olds (and slightly larger increases – as much as 7.6 μg/day – for older children), would raise GM blood-lead concentrations by less than 1 μg/dL. This intake translates into the consumption of about 6 medium eggs/day at 20 μg/kg lead, 2.5 eggs/day at 50 μg/kg, or 1.2 eggs/day at 100 μg/kg.

These evaluations implied that, overall, the lead concentrations we found in eggs from NYC community gardens were not likely to significantly increase lead exposure or to pose a significant health risk. However, frequent consumption of eggs with the highest lead concentration we found could significantly increase lead exposure, and chickens exposed to higher concentrations of lead in soil are likely to produce eggs with higher concentrations of lead. This exposure pathway could potentially be significant in some gardens, and it should not be ignored

It certainly was annoying in my school days in the early 2000's. Though, oddly enough the one professor I had who was adamantly capital-S Socialist and anti-capitalist was less annoying than many of the students who played at it.

I dread to think of what that school is like now.
> Also selling larger vehicles that are just higher and wider for more money but that are not significantly different than similar but smaller vehicles is just easy money, really.

Large cars are also safer for the people in them at least. Car safety ratings are misleading because they're a relative measure based on the class of vehicle. So a "3 star" safety rating on a large SUV is considerably safer than a "5 star" safety rating on a smaller car:

> These ratings are only useful when you're comparing cars within the same size class. If a small car has a five-star rating from NHTSA, that doesn't mean it will protect you as well as five-star-rated large sedan. The same holds true for a Good rating from the IIHS. "The ratings are meant to be used to compare crashes with vehicles of similar size," said Adrian Lund, president of the IIHS. "You can't really go between the segments with these ratings."

People aren't dumb and they realize larger cars are safer for the occupants. That's at least one reason some people prefer larger vehicles.

I think it's one of those problems where the minority of trucks owners forces non truck owners to have to upgrade to truck because otherwise you will lose the war if you ever get to a collision. And by lose the war I mean, your car will be much more wrecked than the other person in a pickup truck.
I volunteer to help manage parking lots and I've definitely noticed that vehicles are getting larger and larger.

The emissions rule was relaxed/revoked by Trump, however California maintained the higher standard (and the auto manufacturers sided with California). So because California has those standards and manufacturers want to be able to sell in California, nothing changed.

Even if the rule was revoked and manufacturers could make cars smaller again, they wouldn't because of marketing. Who would want to buy a new truck that is smaller than the last?
It's the incoming videos that stutter. Not the out going video.
They may have seen that but is it actually true? Is there high quality evidence for this?
All cars are getting bigger. There used to be a handful of us at work who all drove Subaru's and we parked them next to each other in chronological order. Was crazy to see just how much bigger the newer cars were.
I suspect the author would say that we currently live in a system that is designed to reward a certain way of doing business, and that artificially makes things harder for those determined to control their own labor.

Some of that system is government, where laws naturally benefit larger business and are explicitly aimed at "small businesses," which are still traditional work-for-someone-else concerns with four or more employees.

Some of that system is non-governmental, where it seems to be much easier for an S-corp with a few employees to get an operating loan than it is for a self-employed person.

It is easy to say that the rich and poor alike are forbidden to sleep under the bridge, but it is a too-narrow focus that ignores many, many assumptions.
We own two vehicles, a tiny (4 seater) car and a larger (7-seater) MPV.

On the odd occasion that either I or my wife need to drive a car into town and don't have to take the family too, there is simply no way either of us would ever voluntarily choose the larger vehicle for the simple reason that it's much, much harder to park it.

The little car will happily fit in every single car park space known to mankind. It fits into car parking spaces that aren't even real spaces, too. It's the single best feature it has.

It's got a tiny engine, and is hopeless at accelerating hard - particularly up hills - but who cares? It gets up to four people from A to B in relative comfort and great efficiency. It cost us $10k, brand new.

Could it be that we should talk about setting higher taxes on more expensive and/or larger-engined vehicles? Downsizing our vehicles might be a way to help save the planet without compromising on personal mobility.
This looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I've used gource a few times in the past (it's in the repos for most linux distros) and while I enjoy the occasional visualization, I've yet to find an actual use for it.

Has anybody found a real use case? It might be neat and helpful if a tool could show me everywhere that I've been committing too. In gource you can see an avatar for yourself bouncing around as the timeline advances. It would be cool to have a combined graphic of all the repos on my machine, although I'm sure that's a quite non-trivial implementation.
There's a certain type of person who either has a very high tolerance for that kind of friction, or can't even notice it. They tend to use Linux as their main OS, own 3D printers, use obscure brands of phones, and post on Hacker News. They're an important part of the software ecosystem, but they seem to have a hard time understanding that not everyone has as high a tolerance for friction as they do.
I wonder about one thing...

If that exceptional talent and art-code were distributed in the 1980's, obvioulsly they would have had a large effect in many extends (inspiration to others on the platform, definition of new compatibility levels...), but what about distribution?

I feel the demo would have had very limited distribution due to the very restricted platform target: real IBM 5150/5155/5160 with original IBM CGA.

I think people of the time would probably have tried to make it work on a larger base since maybe 80% of XTs were not IBM's...

My question: what video modes and tricks are solid across most XTs and CGA cards of the era? I guess the 640x200 text mode with 8x2 chars is solid, but what about the other tricks? How portable are they?

Why not making a selection of 3 or 4 very popular and very different hardwares of the time as a target platform. For instance I think of IBM 5150 CGA + Tandy 1000 + Amstrad PC1512...
