Putin had promised harsh repercussions if Crimea was attacked. Russia cannot blame Ukraine without retaliating somehow. It's likely Russia is simply now unable to do any more than what they are currently doing so they prefer blaming their own stupidity rather than the Ukrainians.

The Ukrainians don't need to take responsibility since it's obvious to everybody not swallowing Russian propaganda that they did it... Looking at the traffic jam to leave Crimea, it's also obvious to many Russians there.

The point is that there is no need to tweak GR. For example, [1] shows how properly accounting for GR and using rather detailed data about Milky Way allows to explain the rotational curves.

But GR is complex enough to allow very different behavior depending on the initial conditions of galaxy formations. So it would not be surprising to see different scale of deviations from Newtonian mechanics depending on Galaxy history or age.

I think the point he was making was too many people and projects are turning towards containers as a sort of "end all" where we're abandoning local system dependencies by shipping applications with their own bundled versions of libraries.

My biggest problem with this shift is I'm seeing is people are running their distribution updates and containers are still shipping with vulnerable versions of libraries. So a server admin updates his servers thinking he's all good, No, No he's not because $DEV hasn't updated their container dependencies and now that server gets pwned because here's yet another layer of dependencies I have to deal with on top of the ones I'm maintaining with the OS.

So no, please don't make containers on everything just because you can, because more often than not the container you never intended to be used in production WILL be used in production because someone was lazy and didn't want to deal with the dependencies.

Additionally, to your point, specific node versions? specific yarn versions? Is it really that unreasonable to demand libraries be backwards compatible with warnings on software saying a method is being depreciated? Like I can understand for major revision changes but seriously. I should be able to run the latest version of node and that code still work with warnings telling me that the code I've written will eventually stop working in later versions due to changes in the underlying setup.

My point being, don't weigh on containers as a crutch for badly coded software. Operating systems have moved towards rolling releases, it's about time libraries and programming languages followed suit.
That problem is a terrible interview question, mainly because it's completely trivial with O(n) memory (just use a Set), but requires a different branch of comp sci at O(1).

Personally I also feel that any question that needs an O(1) memory when you _start with an array_ is disingenuous. O(1) memory was used for things like tape storage, where N was some huge external storage. If you already have an array, then the chance you don't have double that memory are dibcus.
I am not suggesting Disney or Microsoft will want anything other than maximum control over their own intellectual property and their user’s assets. From the article:

> This is unlikely to ever feature in Minecraft, but may used by experimental indie game publishers who are interested in decentralized networks.

And also:

> allowing users to create unregulated and uncontrolled crypto markets on [Minecraft] could eaisly divert funds and profits away from Microsoft and their App Store partners.

Thankfully there are many indie and experimental game developers that are not Disney and Microsoft. If you want a specific example of a game that answers “Who is this for?” look at Dark Forest developers and players, and anybody else that wants to build or play a similar game.

> And for the many platforms that thrive on user-generated content, asserting at least some control over that content .. is their key value proposition

This is not the case with LooksRare, SudoSwap and even to some extent OpenSea. The key value proposition of these platforms is a marketplace that easily allows you to sell and trade assets that the platform itself does not own the IP rights to. Similar types of businesses: Gumroad, second hand book shops, Turbosquid, art auction houses.
No, absolutely not "wage theft".

Presumably the CEO bring something to the table - capital, fundraising ability. I mean why else have him/her?

CEO hires a bunch of employees, all who get paid. The game is a success and since he put the capital at risk, he gets most the reward. The employees get their salary.

Unfair?

Well, what if it doesn't work out? Employees all get their salary, CEO loses his capital.

Workers can certainly get a similar trade off in some industries - plenty of tech start-ups will pay you $50,000/yr (when you could be making $300,000 at Google) and a chunk of the company.

Why not take that job if you want CEO-type risk and reward?

Firebombing cities was a thing. There is little difference in firebombing Tokyo with 200 planes and dropping one "special" bomb.

Second bomb (Nagasaki) was not authorized in some special way. Air force had two bombs available and planned to drop them a week apart. Due to weather it ended up being 3 days. After Nagasaki Truman ordered them to need explicit approval of the president to drop future bombs (appalled at civilian deaths).
Now that I think of it, if I could just get a traditional manual clutch shoved in between my car's automatic transmission and the driveshaft, that would basically solve all my issues with it. Autos are fine these days for all but the most 'spirited' driving, but it still gripes me to not be able to precisely control that front/rear torque split coming into the corner.

I believe it is an opportunistic bait-and-switch.

I don't know exactly what's going on at GitLab, but this is a classic pattern when the motivations of founders ("Let's make something cool to help other coders, and make a buck in the process") are supplanted by the motivations of VCs ("Fuck the coders, lets make as much money as possible in the term.")

A very good explanation of why Blockchain is useless for anything else other than storing speculative tokens. A public, permission-less and trust-less ledger of transaction that uses proof-of-work as a consensus mechanism to add new transactions to the ledger is expensive and slow by design. It's a feature not a bug. That makes it unsuitable for any real world use case at scale. In order to make it fast and cheap - a private, permissioned, trustful blockchain kind of defeats the purpose and thus pointless.
It does seem like several major organizations are trying to push people towards alternative protein sources. There might be something good about that, but honestly, it's going to lead in a decline of quality of life. The reality is simply that the quality of life the average person has come to expect in the West is not sustainable to be achieved for the entire global population while meeting the realities of climate change. So only one of two outcomes is possible if we don't want to make our species extinct: 1. reduce quality of life or 2. further segment society and increase exploitation. A whole lot of people think #2 is bad, so are choosing #1 as the only viable option.

Musk is invaluable to humanity at this juncture.

He serves as a constant reminder that billionaires (and those with power in general) view everyone else as obstacles to their personal preferences, which they perceive as objective truth. After all, how could they get so rich and powerful if they weren’t the best at being? Surely they know what is best for the rest.

Play-things, pets, wards, nuisances, parasites, or pests. Billionaires aren’t all the same, how (or if) they consider their lessers can vary as much as their food preferences. (They can pay for food that mere mortals have never dreamed of! That’s a lot of variety.)

CV: https://ketzu.net/CV/

Email: david.moedinger@ketzu.net

Currently I work for a small development-for-hire company as a software developer, helping out define requirements and train our juniors.

Last year I finished my PhD in computer science in Germany at the institute for distributed systems. My publications cover statistics, privacy, networks, blockchains and IoT (https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=Qkl3QC8AAAAJ).

My software experience covers from-scratch development as well as legacy integration in my current role as well as proof-of-concept prototypes, data analysis and web front- and backends (Public projects: https://github.com/ketzu/meta-repository). I recently developed an interest in NLP/ML and try to learn more all the time.

The same Western intellectual tradition that's constantly denounced as the marker of privilege and oppression of non-Western peoples? True liberal arts teaching is almost dead in U.S. academia, it only survives at a few small schools that don't even try to pretend that their curriculum (and indeed, as a rule, their student body as well) isn't "privileged".

I mean, the future looks something like SM6.6 bindless imo. The allure is just too great otherwise. If we can get SM6.6 bindless but make it efficient and usable, that saves so much. Something like the PS4 SRT model would be even better.

The big failure was constant uploading IMO, turns out you really want to use the buffer versioning hardware unit on devices, but that's such an awkward fit for descriptor sets. A lot of frameworks (including sokol, and my own) buffer UBO data into a giant single buffer, upload once at the start of the frame, and use dynamic UBOs to offset per draw. That's great on AMD, but could be better on other devices. A way to use that buffer unit would be better. Push constants ain't it. All drivers have heuristics now, but they aren't perfect.
> they don't emulate even a fraction of the processes you find in their biological namesakes

As long as they provide the same resulting behavior, it doesn't matter the processes are the same. If the processes were the same, it'd be an electrochemical process and would be 10K times slower.
I use $1 USD per watt per year, with electric prices around $0.10/kWh. Good enough to inform decisions like whether to leave a light on all the time ($5/year) or whether to purchase a NAS vs. used server ($40 vs. $300 per year).

I guess my prices are actually a little over $0.10 and a watt over a year is a little under 10,000Wh as shown in your calculations, so those offset to make the estimate even more accurate (than necessary).

> That reasoning makes sense to me. Do you think there actually _is_ some material disadvantage to co-operatives that leads them to be less economically successful than companies where shareholders have all the power and ownership?

This is hard to say. I think there are two competing trends:
1. Co-operative ownership is becoming more prevalent. This is particularly true in situations where entrepreneurial bricolage (making do with what you have on hand) is a factor.
2. However, there aren't that many examples of legitimate co-operative ownership in larger corporations. They do exist, but the sample size is small.

As far as I'm aware, employee co-ownership is more associated with the concept of 'psychological ownership', where the organization tries to make an employee feel like they own a portion of the company. This can come from actual ownership via RSUs or stock options, or through other factors, such as company culture. The idea here being that psychological ownership increases employee effectiveness.

The issue is that 1. top management generally has more influence than owners and 2. it's not always (or usually) in the best interest of the employee to have more than a small percentage of their net worth tied up in their employer.

Think about it this way. In a (greatly simplified model of) democracy, voters essentially "own" the government. However, the politicians they elect as well as an employed bureaucracy are the ones generally calling the shots. Democracy works because it provides a floor where, if performance falls to a certain point, the top management layer is replaced by a different set of managers.

However, corporations are not governments. Governments (especially local governments) - and bureaucracies - last a very long time, to the extent that they generally survive well after whatever state they were originally part-of goes away. In other words, they're robust. You can have a bad set of elected, or unelected, officials and regardless of what happens, odds are that the entity they represent will still be around decades if not centuries later.

Corporations are the opposite. The failure rate is sizable. Like I wrote in my previous post, a small number of larger companies are adding economic value, while the rest are in the process of fading away. The question here is whether a co-operative model provides enough of a benefit beyond the standard corporate ownership structure to provide some benefit to either of these phases.

My guess is that the answer is no for the growth phase and, depending on the organization/industry, maybe or a slight yes for the later maintenance phase. That said, the sample size of employee owned co-operatives in growth-oriented industries is so small that I don't know if the data exists to take a shot at answering either question.
Podman 4 supports netavark which to my understanding should solve a lot of the networking issues with slirp4netns
>117mg/kg

God forbid the authors spend 60sec to transform the unit into something that is easily visualize-able to the general public. That should be SOP when writing and editing these kinds of press releases.

Density of typical soil is around 1250kg/m^3 so 117mg/kg is ~146g/m^3. Density of lead is 1.34g/cm&^3 so ~146g/m^3 is 110cm^3 or roughly the size of a small container of cough syrup or 3-4 decent sized fishing weights per cubic meter of soil. That's a lot of lead but probably readily attainable under certain circumstances.
Anyone know a good resource for understanding the fundamentals of containers, in particular, how it persists state?

Also maybe how different products (kubernetes, podman, docker) fit into this space?

Thanks in advance!
reading that, I would imagine this also relates to people in privileged situations thinking that they have "earned" that privilege for a reason. And thus that people in underprivileged situations have earned that too.

Yikes. I can see how that can lead to social issues when a large portion of the "haves" believe in this just-world hypothesis.

Is there any data/research that quantifies this belief in different countries/cultures?
