I recall one game, my friend and I were playing the strongest AIs. We were closing in on the end of the game, and one pesky AI was very close to a science victory.

My friend and I, both launched a incredible min-max campaign against these guys, using nukes, and whatever fast units we had to conquer and raze cities that had spaceports to stop them. We managed this very quickly, it was like my own desert storm in terms of how quickly and well it went for me.

Then some random AI snagged a diplo victory and I was livid. I disable diplo victories when I play now.
A Nash equilibrium is not so easy to break.

Bigger frame allows for bigger battery. Those huge trucks should have not been built, but once they are here and the people like them - probably as a class of car they are here to stay.

It is fun to see Toyota tundra in the middle of small European town - the streets are like upholstery to the trucks.
They (birth country) didn’t invest in shit. It’s run by right wing extremists who at one point were less than 100m away ready to burn down our house and family alive. I’ll happily clean toilets in a different country than to go back to my “home” country. Its very difficult to wrap up your whole family and move to another country speaking a different language, betting your entire life savings in the process. But often the social climate and the people who adhere to those norms are so bad that any amount of effort to get away from it is acceptable.
> people can become impatient and cut me off or interject with a snap interpretation of what I have said so far.

A phrase I've noticed zoomers using recently is "let me land!" if you interrupt them. It's probably not zoomer specific but that's where I've heard it.

It conveys that you still have more to say, mildly points out the rudeness of being interrupted, and people seem to understand exactly what you mean without further explanation so you can get back to your thought.

Whether it works in the workplace I'm not sure, probably depends on the tone of voice. I would throw a please in there too.
There is still aviation fuel using lead.
At my last company, we tried to measure productivity. It's a rabbit hole within a rabbit hole. You might see a single commit with 2 lines of code after a week of no activity, and those 2 lines might have legitimately taken an entire week.
The opposite is true, really. You see tons of (big) SUVs which you did not see as much, say, 10 years ago.
Those consumer PCs don't look too energy-efficient, though.
Its almost as if...there is a bias in the media in favor of the egg and gas industry. No...don't raise your own eggs. Buy OUR eggs! They are safer, and don't contain lead like yours! Oh, the lead in the air is more dangerous? No, you are being paranoid.
>Actually, the Russians are more realistic, than Ukrainian Ghost of Kiev and other fairy tales.

You are aware that according to Russia, the Moskva

- only had engine troubles

- was on fire but steaming back home under own power

- was being towed

- did catch fire due to some guy smoking

- sank in a storm (there was no storm that night)

Within a couple of days.

Moscow claimed the lifted the siege on Kyiv because they accomplished mission objectives (lol, which ones?). They also vacated Zmiinyi Island as a gesture of goodwill after Ukraine started killing their occupation force again and again.

Reportedly, Russia also has destroyed a couple of HIMARS launchers, at least one PzH2000, a Gepard Flak tank and warehouses full of western ammo. They have shown literally no proof of that.

Basically, Russia is the fire-hose of falsehood.
It made me laugh out loud in a public place. Brilliant!
It was banned worldwide by the UN only last year. (And not, I think, for all aviation and perhaps other industry fuels, as sibling commenter says.)

If I am running Hetzner, I will be looking at an aggressive North American expansion. The energy cost gap between US and Europe are going to get bigger.
Some features might be a little tricky:

AC was built around fully customized units.

It also supported modifying the terrain in various ways (with the worker-equivalent unit, big enough bombs, or there was an option to vote for global warming I think). You could use it to sink cities or change weather patterns (make your land greener by raising a ridge to block the rain). I think the weather implementation was really basic though, just a uniform prevailing wind you could block, nowadays we could do better...

Then there's stuff like the government system which wouldn't be super hard, but would be a whole new screen to add.
Because vehicle weight is a major factor in fuel efficiency that’s inherent to the problem and can’t be regulated away. Meanwhile, some people actually need large trucks.
An idea for a regulation would be to measure the ratio of maximum weight of living things that a vehicle can transport / weight of vehicle when empty, and make this ratio grow progressively bigger.

The ratio is probably around 0.1 today on average (just an intuition, I don't have the actual numbers), and ideally it should be close to 1, or maybe over 1.

For an ebike for example, it's around 3.

Moving 2-5 tons of metal to transport just one human being is positively insane.
Terrestrial bugs feel gross to many people. Water bugs, such as shrimp, are commonly accepted by most Western and South Asian population. I bet on that.

Beef should remain, the way truffles remain: as a delicious feast food, not as everyday staple. At least until growing bovine muscle tissue in vats becomes mainstream, I mean.

This is in process, we are using eBPF to read the keys out of memory in process and then write them into a pcapng file that tshark can use.

The handshake is only partially encrypted, the public keys and client random can be traced from the network, but the private keys need to be read from memory.

Some of the keys necessary to decrypt the stream are only found in memory for a limited time after which they are overwritten, if the keys are not retrieved in this time window the connection cannot be decrypted by tshark.
I dunno. I could see it... As long as you access the "iCloud Web Service" from an iDevice or a Mac there will be loads of useful and functional tools and features for you to take advantage of. It'll be 4x more expensive than AWS but the integration with Apple's ecosystem will be fantastic!

If you try to access it from a PC or an Android device though you'll have your bandwidth throttled and all your images will be reduced and compressed like it's 1999.
Wow, that's really cool. Love the old midi-towers.
Yes. It’s copyright in the same way.
try living in the south, these behemoths are everywhere and i feel like same way, feel like it is unsafe to drive my sedan near those big trucks. I think i'll invest in an semi truck, that'll show people who the man on the road really is.
This does kinda annoy me. I’m sick of seeing updates on stream games and getting excited only to find “launcher update”.
in my experience the team needs critical mass of decent developers. And by 'decent' I don't mean all-knowing experienced beasts. I mean adequate devs with ability to listen and to be wrong. If team has it, better devs naturally get listened more and everyone gets chance to improve from it.
It doesn't mean that you just don't let juniors express their opinions (everyone should be able to talk), but the 'weight' of dev's opinion determines by his track of previous cases. And obviously every opinion comes with responsibility for the result. If you forced your approach you need to be able to deal with the results.
The author makes a correct observation (trucks are getting bigger to circumvent emissions guidelines, not solely out of ego), but fails to address the underlying market demand: as trucks have gotten bigger, they've also gotten "meaner"[1]. Emissions requirements don't require a truck to look like it's going to beat you up.

In other words: consumer ego (wanting to drive a big, mean looking truck) is an underlying pressure in the market, even if the sufficient mover for the current size explosion is emissions dodging.

Probably but where I live in EU i see a lot of big trucks imported secondhand from the US. People like big cars.

FTFY "The Reason Why Trucks Are Getting Bigger".
Ah, I've only ever seen that in emails. Annoying!
They require a special license.

But, in the USA, you can drive up to 26,000 GVW with a normal license, so everyone should be driving box trucks or similar.
It's a mix of tragedy of the commons and needing to be the same size or bigger than everyone else.

The negatives of big cars are not paid for, in large part, by the people buying the car. A bigger car needs more space, making towns and cities less efficient and more expensive. They use more resources, and gas which the negative effects of are not paid for in pollution and CO2. Edit: Also the danger to pedestrians, and people in smaller cars!

Being a normal sized car, amongst huge trucks is dangerous and all over a bad experience. It's hard to see around them, in a crash you come off worse (all other things being equal). So to not suffer this everyone slowly gets bigger, just to not suffer. If people were limited to a standard sized car then everyone would be better off (assuming people don't need a van for work or a people carrier if they have a large family).
Thanks for the feedback.

Aslong as there are production issues in general they might get away with it.
Nothing in the parent's hypothesis implies that the normal mitigating factors like cost/practicality don't apply.

Also, size is only one prominent factor in masculinity. E.g. a pickup truck is frequently seen as more masculine than an RV.
Are you sure it didn't deter sales or driving? I don't have the numbers, but I suspect if we found them we would see that the average vehicle purchased used less gas and that sales of gasoline were lower than typical.
Because they are American citizens and deserve the same opportunities as everyone.
I enjoy their write-ups on optimizations they have made to the TCP/IP stack in the Linux kernel. Why? Some of the testing they have done I can replicate on my own hobby systems. I don't use all of their tweaks but I did learn a few things in the process and sometimes their changes can be useful to me for reasons unrelated to what they were trying to accomplish. For example, I did not know that the kernel devs added a "-3" and "-2" option for net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale and I found that setting it to 1/8 buffer mem for my DNS servers reduced the kernel memory usage when my servers were being abused without having to globally lower the total buffer memory allocated.
Container escapes are a very real security threat that need to be taken seriously. Just like you wouldn't let all your users have a remote shell on your machines even if they are locked down. Just because they can't get anywhere doesn't mean they can't find ways out of that. If you're on the machine and can run whatever code you want, it's not a matter of if, it's when.

The admin may know what applications they are running in the container but I can bet you they don't know every library that container is shipping and I hold very little faith that these admins are going to pin a laundry list of every single container they run along with all the different versions of libraries each container is bringing and constantly checking that list for CVEs. This problem increases for every single container you bring onto that server.

Edit:

I love containers, don't get me wrong. I've seen first-hand how incredible it is to be able to set up an application inside a container and then remove that application and have no residual packages containing the libraries and dependencies that program needed. I get it. I just don't like how dependent we've become on them.

Now I'm a network engineer first, and server admin second. I don't want to spend a majority of my time pinging container maintainers to update their dependencies when an updated version of a library comes out. I expect to be able to update my local copy of that library and get on with my day and not have to worry about when this library is going to get patched in each of those containers.
The cool thing about Civ is my friends will actually play it. It has the right mix of looking approachable and having depth of mechanics.

Paradox games on the other hand, are too intimidating for most people I know to try.
I will say large trucks are very comfortable. I think there must be more vertical room so you can sit in a more chair like position. It’s also great for bigger people in general to have wider seats and not have your head not be half an inch from the roof.

I will also note I switch between the family minivan and the large truck frequently and the difference in how other drivers treat you is jarring. In the truck people seem happy to let me in and coexist with me.

In the minivan I’m constantly being cut off or blocked from merging. I have people try to pass me no matter how fast I go.
This has been my experience too. As a youth I worked as a lifeguard, first for a company and then for the county government. The private company gave us an initial 8 hours of training once every three years. The government trained us every single weekend. In an emergency I would have been useless at the private company because I was so poorly trained. At the government I would have been very prepared to deal with the situation. It comes down to incentives, the company wanted to maximize profit, cutting training helps that. Emergencies are rare situations that can easily dealt with by shifting blame to the front line workers. The government didn't have these incentives and were able to invest in training.

Not saying gov good, private bad. Just saying that it is a lot more complicated than gov bad private good.
I find it very interesting that they link to the trello board for the project on the main site. I don't think I've seen that before.
Roger Penrose suggests patterns before the "big bang" are observable is my interpretation of what was said between him and Melvin Bragg on a Youtube clip.
Why did you want to join Google, and what did you feel about the place when you did?

tanuja gupta: I started working at Google in 2011. I had been working as a program manager in engineering and software for about a decade, but Google was top of the top. Of course you want a career at a great company. That was a product that I used day in and day out. It was a great opportunity

Heh, I was expecting an emotional lie/response such as "I want to change the world" but got surprised. I appreciate her honesty
If "normal" people didn't care about privacy, HIPAA wouldn't have become a thing.
My understanding is that it’s simply that larger vehicles have laxer fuel efficiency requirements under the current automotive regulations. So manufacturers can side step parts of current emission regulations by simply making everything bigger
Why does the EPA report that the MPG of new vehicles is at an all time high [1] (and has been going up consistently the last 15-ish years)?

It seems like the new regulations are also working, in addition to having some other unintended consequences.

The need for a CDL is one obvious reason. It looks like the internet disagrees on whether CDL requirements start at class 6 or 7, so we're really only talking about 1-5. And I've definitely seen 4s and 5s on the highway that have probably never seen a spec of dirt in their life. So there are certainly some people just looking to get the biggest thing they can legally drive.
Hah, speak for yourself! I want 20x as many bikes out there.
> "If ego is the only way to explain this"

If you re-read my comment, you may note that I did NOT say this.
>high beams at eye level

I had to fully tint the windows on my car for this reason.

Trucks with lift-kits are guaranteed to behave this way. If I see one coming, I'll pull over to let them pass before they get the chance to tailgate.
> In brief, Obama-era fuel regulations incentivized automakers to build bigger trucks.

I read a similar thing, many years before Obama, about the rise of SUVs - that emissions standards were tightened for cars, but not for 'light trucks' and SUVs could dodge the standards by claiming to be light trucks.

So this isn't the first time automakers have responded to tightened emissions standards by selling more products that aren't subject to them.

The article also claimed US vehicle makers had the quiet support of a lot of people in government, because Japanese automakers were kicking their ass at making sedans - but due to market differences and import tariffs [1] the foreign manufacturers weren't as competitive in the truck market. As the rise of bigger and bigger vehicles was bad for emissions but good for US automakers, legislators turned a blind eye to it.

IMO I think fake meat is a fad. The lab grown stuff that is technically real meat isn't economically viable and "Beyond Meat" has a real uncanny valley taste. A few years ago I was at the airport and decided to get a "Beyond Whopper" at burger king. It was a wired thing to eat because it almost tasted real, but you could tell it wasn't the real thing, since then I've never bought one.

And I use this example because I think in end, it's really the consumer that decides, and they won't buy it. Beyond meat sounds fantastic on paper, trust me I was hyped for it back when it first announced. But that first burger just killed it for me, and I think it will for many consumers.
A hardware toggle provided by the manufacturer would be a lot more respectful of the customer. That sort of respect would even get some subscriptions out of it. But that probably goes against the long term strategy for most places - that connection is for more, later.

How hard was it to disconnect, out of curiosity. Not asking for anything identifying, just wondering if it required removing panels or was just a matter of reaching an arm in the right spot.

Nice to know it can be done without anything too drastic.
i heard some lady in the south say she wouldn't date a guy who didn't have a truck, those are the social forces putting pressure on a certain type of man to buy a truck. It truly is a macho thing.
Russian troll. Highly distorted statements. Ignore
Bioaccumulation!

Some companies are looking at this for nickel mining: grow trees that leech metals out of the soil and end up with metal concentrations that are competitive with ore!
I guess my problem with Singer's should is he's telling others what to do, whereas i think I'm using the word should in telling everyone to do their own thing and make up their own concept of what is good. Own the issue themselves. We must all be the society we want to create if we are to create it.

Agree on the small problems that can be solved, but again i maintain that everyone needs to work through these stages themselves imo. People can help but ultimately the biggest help is opening up to useful trade, and enabling the empowerment of people from the bottom up.

It's a complex issue with no method without downsides.
Higher mass means in a collision you "win" and have smaller accelerations than the other vehicle.

Larger potentially means even in a single-vehicle accident, there is a greater distance to decelerate over and things are less likely to intrude into the vehicle.

The IIHS, which systematically tests vehicles in simulated crashes, says:

> A bigger, heavier vehicle provides better crash protection than a smaller, lighter one, assuming no other differences. The part of the vehicle between the front bumper and the occupant compartment absorbs energy from crashes by crumpling. As a result, the longer front ends of larger vehicles offer better protection in frontal crashes. Heavier vehicles also tend to continue moving forward in crashes with lighter vehicles and other obstacles, so the people inside them are subject to less force.

https://www.iihs.org/topics/vehicle-size-and-weight

There is some simple actuarial data there on their page, too, which shows there's a marked advantage but it is less than it used to be.
No. You should realize that saving people lives is more important than being "right" or "wrong". And the reality of war is ugly. Ukrainian military was one if not the most trained professional army in Europe. Second to none. With enough military supplies, fortified trenches and predefined logistical support, trained on NATO standards. The Russians, which we believed to be inferior, actually adapted to the task and without mobilization are winning.

Yes, Ukrainians are capable of inflicting pain, but this will not change the outcome.
It's not adding an alternative source that feels bad. It's the removal (by becoming too expensive) of the customary source, that is, cows (and sheep, and even pigs).
I don't want to re-type the story here, but I had a "fun" time getting OnStar to cancel the demo service when I purchased my pickup several years ago. Story is in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21816479#21826049).
My car can happily seat 4 adults (so let’s say 250kg) and weighs a touch over 1000kg, so the ratio is 0.25. 0.1 would mean that a car that seats just 4 adults weighs 2.5 tonnes, which seems extreme?
I also see how VW would now like to have their fine back, seeing how you were never serious about emissions, that being just an elaborate plot; and sue for damages.
Share buybacks and acquisitions come from post profit money, not pre profit, so they won't impact the margin. They're not a line item in operating expenses.

Bonuses and other remuneration will, but no executives are getting $5 billion annual bonuses there and ~$million bonuses won't move the needle.
It's true.

Not only will the bigger object experience less F=ma acceleration in a collision, it will also have a stronger frame and deeper crumple zones.
This used to work with my parents' generation:

* A nice new sweater to wear around town becomes

* a nice sweater to wear around the house in the winter to save heating which becomes

* an old but still warm sweater to wear for yard work which becomes

* a ratty old sweater to wear to repair your bike or car without a care for oil stains.

I'm only one generation away and live in a town with good public transport, central heating which I can't adjust (and is
always turned up too high) and will probably not be able to afford a house with a yard in the next 20 years.
It's a three-year subscription, so it works out to $41.67/month. Still absurd though.
If I understand correctly, IPFS will even re-advertise blocks you have downloaded on the DHT. So per default your whole browsing history is public on the IPFS network.
People aren't going to stop driving to work or drop $40k on an electric car (especially during a shortage) in response to a short term price spike. However, if it persists people would eventually switch over to alternatives
its more fair to say that food cultivated by professional farms who are held to strict safety standards is safer than food cultivated by you in your backyard that was never zoned for mass agriculture. IIRC, Michelle Obama even had some sort of community-garden project where she was growing vegetables on the White House lawn and giving it to local poor people but she had to quit after it was found out that they had toxic chemicals in them.
