Yeah, that's the future I'm pointing to: the aircraft carrier itself is no longer militarily relevant, because what counts are the drone swarms.

But there's no particular reason to expect that this future will be a Mohist one in which peace is ensured because magically cheap defensive drone swarms make every fortress impregnable and thus combatants' home territories always remain unscathed; at least as likely is a Second Variety future in which drone swarms are more effective for attack than for defense, perhaps even after all the human combatants are dead.
That's why I said vote.

But not neccesarily, companies are not people they are not protected by the bill of rights and this is already happening when LE forcibly takeover domains to censor them with cause of course.

US foreign aid is mostly synonymous to defense spending. They give money to other countries with the agreement that they will buy from the American weapons manufacturers. So, in a sense this "aid" is just a give out to the US war industry. Even when the money is earmarked as food and medicine aid, the beneficiaries are (surprise) the American agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, respectively.
I'd recommend stashing the money inside a ltd and investing them from there paying only corporate tax.

There is very little direct source material to speak of; The Hobbit and the LotR books take place much later, and the The Silmarillion and some other works take place much earlier. There are some notes and references here and there, but it's not much.

Overall, I feel that's a good thing because this way you can both incorporate aspects of the original canon yet also have some freedom to do your own thing, kind of similar how The Next Generation taking place almost 100 years after the original series gave the writers some freedom.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's actually any good. The first two series of TNG were notoriously bad (with a few exceptions) before it finally got on the right track and actually started making good stuff.
This product has essentially existed for years: https://moverio.epson.com

They're about $1000 and show the potential of this indeed seemingly obvious product. They do suffer from a lack of sufficient fit adjustment, and the image should be larger.

I don't know why almost no one has explored this product category. One company stands above all others in failing to see the potential: DJI. Not only has DJI failed to put HDMI inputs on its FPV goggles, but it has released a string of drones that aren't compatible with them. Yes, most DJI drones are not compatible with THEIR OWN GOGGLES, despite having wireless video transmission that allegedly uses the same protocol.

"and doesn’t feel right taking a slice of someone else’s pie"

I hate to say it, but you need to get over that. This very mindset has screwed me over more times than I care to think about. I'm in the $2B+ generated revenue part of my career. I've got a lot of scars, bruises and broken dreams that brought me here. Built an entire start-up, that sold for $256M, got screwed out of $2M. That was on the low-end of what I've lost in various endeavours. And I have stupidly made that mistake several times. Over the years I've learned some hard lessons.

I now take the approach that "I charge this much per day/week for my time, if you cannot afford that and wish to give me equity in lieu of (some of) my pay, these are my terms." And I don't do 4 year vesting with 1 year cliff. If I am taking a significant pay cut, e.g. 60% to 70% from my usual day rate, the cliff is 90 days on an accelerated vesting schedule. And it is a grant, not options, I'm not giving back money to get what I earned.

You also need to start negotiating your contracts to have a quaterly or bi-annual rate increase from "I'm doing you a solid here with a big discount" so that three years later, after built all the tech for the start-up, you aren't earning less than the Junior who struggles to remember the difference between margins and offsets. On client discounts (I've stopped giving them except where large chunks of equity are concerned), you can backload them too, so that should the client cut you loose because you bumped your rate by 10% last year, as stated in your contract, they pay a termination fee. Some clients will balk and nope out, those clients you don't want. It took me decades to figure out I was allowed to say "no" to potential work.

Right now I am charging less than what I have in the past, $1,000/day as opposed to $1,600 to $2,000/day, because I need some stress free time, and at 6pm, I turn off my computer and forget about my work.
Honestly, the with example seems simpler if you ignore what it takes to build a context manager (which isn’t all that hard).

Maybe it’s just I’ve never used defer before but I do use python with whenever I get a chance. Not like that, I don’t really understand what the code is trying to achieve by removing the name at the end, but to close resources at the end of the block. And even then only if it makes sense for what I’m doing.

Using a context manager like your example is just busywork IMHO, easier to just write the code out linearly like the defer example.

I didn't downvote but I don't buy the city/state political divide as a significant cause. For one, accidents happen. For two, a water system needs to be financially sustainable. If its finances were in shambles, as the EPA assessment below found, then that will lead to the other problems listed.

Having spent the 45 seconds the parent comment did not share, the story I see is one where the state was willing to match more funds but the city had other priorities. This isn't written as criticism of the city's decision but acknowledgement that different people see things differently. If some other disaster had happened that decision might have been vindicated.

[Dated April 28, 2022, MS Gov] Reeves said the state was willing to match Jackson’s water and sewer infrastructure spending, and criticized the city only putting up $25 million of the $42 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds it received for such work.

How did you calibrate this? I've certainly had no more (far less) trouble with apt-get over the past decade than I have with any commercial OS package installation. What standard is Linux package management being measured against that currently exists? Package management is a dream on Linux compared to wrangling Windows software.
Sadly, laws do in fact prohibit the posting of certain kinds of information and messages - for example, death threats, dox or hate speech, depending on your locale. Being "just a forum" does not change this. We can debate whether the laws should restrict speech that way, but don't pretend the laws in western countries don't exist.
In fact I'd go a step further and say that it's not only difficult but impossible to assess since it's pretty easy for the test subject to discern whether he was given a placebo or not, especially considering that the benefits are suspected to come from the induced experience itself and not the drug as a substance in isolation.

You can't control if exercising is placebo either, can you? But the consensus is that it's physically and mentally beneficial. I don't think controlling for placebo is of great use here although it obviously has to be taken into account.

Spain has a fairly substantial shantytown outside Madrid. There are also urban areas there (including, I think, some fairly touristy ones) which just discharge all their raw untreated sewage into the rivers and sea because somehow none of the governments have managed to build sewage treatment for them, so I do wonder about the quality of their drinking water. In general, there seems to be more regional inequality and poverty in the developed world than most people realise.
It's not that great, you still have to pay social insurance. It's been a long time since I checked but you end up paying 30-35%.

In Europe your best options are Malta (5% corp tax + progressive rates on what you spend and keep everything in the company until you leave and withdraw at 0% from eg. Dubai) or Cyprus (12 corp tax +2.5% dividends tax).

I'd consider Montenegro as well if it makes sense for you or other eastern European countries.

A 20/20 or 1.0 visual acuity equals 1MOA(1/60deg).

A 20/20 equivalent 360 degrees panorama image is has a size of 21600x10800px minimum. For a VR headset with 120x120 degrees H/VFOV(178deg diagonally), you need a 7200x7200px panel. 2 x 7200px x 7200px x 24bpp x 144Hz = 360Gbps, or worth 4x 100GE LAG’d, or one PCIe 4.0 x23 link, or one DDR5 channel.

I'd guess CMake supports it just because they haven't seen a reason to require a newer version yet. Command line tools are like that. (The Go SDK requires 10.13.)

That's the difference between what people can do for individual tools versus an entire ecosystem like Brew that's trying to do everything.
> So, really, I think it's important to think about how much of our basic are covered for how much of the population.

This is fair, it's just that I feel like focusing on PPP often makes people miss out on certain aspects of the greater picture.

For example, why many might choose to work for either US companies if possible, or even travel to US to work and build as much capital as they can, before settling down either back home with a substantial amount of money, or alternatively choosing another country.

Of course, at that point one also cannot disregard how good or bad any given country is from a social standpoint, like human rights issues and so on.

We ban accounts that cross that line (for more explanation, see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), regardless of which ideology they favor.

That's the problem. Is still, after all this years, unstable.

Of course you can do dynamic linking without the way that I previously described, but that library will be highly tight to a specific version of the compiler. I think that the biggest problem is dealing with product types for that matter.
The point is an ability to pre-compute a complex environment, playback that complexity at runtime, enabling the runtime's compute load to include that while devoting more compute to the real time rendered characters and effects than would be possible otherwise.

I did a pre-rendered background 3D game on the PlayStation 1. We had an operating steel mill as an animated background, with high resolution characters pre-rendered to 3D cards, plus z-buffer data for both so the characters could pass behind background set elements, and when characters fight their geometries overlay/penetrate correctly. Using the PSX MDEC video, we could have up to a dozen background frames. That enabled the giant rotating gears and assembly lines of the steel mill to 'operate' with 3-6 frame loops, and each game level to support multiple perspectives (camera views) of the action. Each camera view could be hundreds of millions of polygons, all precalculated to 2D elements, and the final game engine treating the hardware as more of a real time compositing engine (with a 3D simulation running logically in parallel.)

The game was not popular, misunderstood at the time, and the studio was a film VFX studio whose staff did not like being put on the game production. There were 75 levels and it had quite the large team for the time, about 45 animators, 15 level developers, and 6 engine developers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9w1e7D5ucY
They can build earthworks, it's not too bad. It's similar to Manhattan Island for example, unless there's a catastrophic failure of planning and action, they can build a sea wall around it and put storm surge control devices in the rivers.
That's a storage volume (partition, raid volume, zfs pool, etc), not a filesystem. A filesystem is the abstraction layer on top of the storage volume translating the user-assigned data identifiers (aka file names) to byte ranges.

Talking specifically about databases: they often implement their own data organization. Oracle and Sybase famously performed better when working on raw partitions than with files.
A filesystem offers a hierachical interface. Meanwhile, a DBMS needs nothing more from the OS than access to blocks and preferably information about HDD layout. That's a level below.
My worry with brew and literally any software installed from "random" sources is that I don't want to trust it, but it runs with all my credentials and can do just about anything on my behalf. When using, say, macOS or Ubuntu, I have made the deliberate decision to trust the vendor to not be subversive, but as soon as you bring in outside sources you expose yourself. This isn't an academic concern, Log4J and the ongoing phishing attacks on PyPI are good reminders.

Apple at least seems to be taking it seriously and has started requiring explicit authorization to access various locations (like Photos), but treats the shell as single security domain, so it's (AFAICT) a global setting for brew installed binaries. For Linux I don't know of anything similar.

Obviously there are many things one can do but it needs to be the default and it needs to be not so inconvenient that people just turns it off (hello Microsoft Vista's UAC).

What are the solutions here?
It's easier to change your buoyancy by releasing ballast, but that's not the only option, or the best option in this context. You can instead adiabatically expand a vacuum space (for example, in a cylinder with a piston) against water pressure to go from negative to positive buoyancy.

100'000 tonnes is 100 million kg, so for a million drones it would be 100 dives.

I agree that stacking rocks on the deck of a carrier, or even gluing or magnet-clamping them to its hull, is probably not the most effective way for drones to damage it. Firing birdshot at sailors, for example, would be more effective; blinding them with lasers more effective still. The point is that even ridiculously primitive attacks become effective when you multiply them by enough orders of magnitude.
