> For China it's about nationalism, for US it's about protecting allies/upholding treaties and protecting democracy from the strongest authoritarian regime.

I doubt this is true for China (I very much suspect economic concerns trump any other concerns for them as well), but I am quite convinced you are wrong about the USA - one of the biggest supporters of non-democratic regimes in the world. There is little in US history to suggest they have any preference for a democratic regime over a subservient autocratic one. They are also extremely clearly uncaring of international treaties.

And make no mistake: the USA is coordinating Ukraine's defense because it sees it as a good chance to weaken Russia, not out of some deep care for the people of Ukraine.

> at other times, the priority will be to resolve some technical debt to make deployment faster; and so on

It's interesting you mention this. In my experience, PMs have only owned end-user experience, they come up with end-user project prioritization. The consolidation of asks from various departments was instead done by dev managers/directors/VPs. So for example, a dev manager decides between a customer-facing feature and some tech debt to make deployments faster - contrasting short term deliverables with long term velocity of the team.
Following your logic there should be no ecommerce, since you cant step into a building and establish trust. Also there should be no companies distributed geographically since people cant “deep dive” into “controversial issues”. Such a dated concept and so not fit for modern day.

But the notion that people cant convey ideas while remote shows you either havent worked with experienced people or are inexperienced yourself.
>In addition, it’s challenging to find developers with experience in both Python and C++

So you decided on a language that makes it even harder to find experienced developers?
Boeing isn't Boeing anymore, it's McDonnell Douglas wearing a Boeing skin suit.

I think that example is slightly tangential to your thrust, but sort of illustrates the bigger problem that when a project is operating anywhere near the boundaries of logistical possibility, it becomes very hard to incorporate perspective from the people with boots on the ground, who know ten ways to get something done and that your suggestion isn't one of them.

It's the same problem General Contractors have with trying to herd architects who try to design at the limits of materials science and don't understand that there's a large gap between physics and execution, where building codes, manufacturing defects, and the ravages of time all live. Not to mention costs (exotic materials often require exotic labor).

Yeah, but you're not looking for that tag, and that tag wouldn't affect your search in any way. That's the thing. You're approaching tags like they can only only ever be used one way, and yes they can be that, and also other things that don't affect your personal use. So when you search for your specific tag, all synonymous tags will also appear, and all superfluous tags don't affect your search. A one-off tag doesn't affect your ability to search for multi-use tags.

EDIT: Additionally, the fact the tag exists has also helpfully indicated to you that this is a fic you probably don't want to read because of the author's cultural hinting through their use of tags. You're proving my point here-- the one-off tag doesn't affect your ability to search for your specific fandom or tropes, but also it allows you to pick flavors of fanfic you want from that search because of your dislike of one-off tags.
Your local/nearby college/university almost certainly provides these services for free.
You would be surprised how many sociopaths occupy higher echelons of any power structures, be it government, military, banking, or well anything. As per J. Peterson there is around 1:20 ratio of sociopaths:normal folks in general population. Sociopathy like all other similar things are a spectrum, but with certain age you will start noticing them everywhere where power is.

If its a trait mixed with above average intelligence, these people often climb careers like ladders, and getting to the general/admiral level involves tons of political games and quid pro quo played right for decade(s).

What I want to say with all this - you bet those folks sleep well at night. They've sent 18-year old to (almost) certain death from time to time. Don't expect everybody in the world to share your morals, however sad it may be.
Article also states that the switch from C++ to Rust improves "low level optimized instruction sets, memory layout, and running async tasks."

The first two are also strengths of C++, and for the third the article says that "Rust is async, and Tokio is the one of the most popular async providers ... However, it’s not great for running CPU intensive workloads, like with Pinecone." Puzzling.
I cycle every day to work in Germany and my 3 year old daughter already cycles in the city (not alone obviously). However, I would always wear a a helmet and I think it saved me at least once from worse. I really wonder how Dutch infrastructure could have saved me from getting hit by a 90 year old lady on the way to get doctor on city neighborhood road (was fascinating to see how the helmet absorbed the energy). It might be rather that Dutch drivers learned to share roads with bikes (although I am always scared of Dutch bus drivers when the overtake you on a bicycle)

The issue isn't that deterministic models are necessarily untrue. But that it's meaningless to investigate the phenomena as a deterministic one.

Even if we knew all of the hidden variables. And had the exact deterministic mathematical formula for the universe. The formula may still be so unstable that it would make exactly 0 predictions.
Both the Dutch and Swedes (and I guess it goes for Norway and Denmark as well) generally speak English. So much so that my colleagues from other countries find it a problem in that they get very few opportunities to learn Swedish; because everyone just switches to English when they are around.

It's also quite healthy for folks - biking to school (or work!) helps get the body moving in the morning much more so than getting a ride in. It's unfortunate that in north america the car is viewed as the default mode of transportation regardless of how short the trip may be.
I think for me a major bottleneck of using iPad as laptop is that the screen is still gonna be on heavier compared to keyboard, and the whole combo doesn't feel as solid and sturdy as a good laptop does. iPad feel more physically free in some ways (you can just use screen etc ...), and physically restrictive in others (doesn't feel like one big sturdy unit with keyboard).

That all aside, as an engineer it's too restrictive and less fun. I'm sure it can get a lot of other non-programming workflows done quite well though.

Probably to get a wider audience to actually read and engage with the ideas, and to crowdsource relevant information from said audience.

Probably an 80%+ reduction (total guess) in the number of people who engage directly with the content and author.

I'm not going to go into the various forms of grass-is-greenering that could apply here, but of course (?) I'm aware that a lot of Dutch like coming up here too for vacationing and such.

About English, that's kind of a point of pride up here (English was taught from age 11 when I was that age ~35 years ago, but these days it's from age 7 and my oldest kid is starting to have classes and understand more and more).

I would say that you can get very far using English in Sweden, both in business and in private. Probably quite a few Swedish people's English will start to fail if you e.g. open a random kitchen drawer and ask them to name all the things, but still. You can get by.

Earths rotational velocity is decreased (longer days) and added to the moon which increases it's potential energy (distance relative to earth), increases it's orbital height, and increases the period of it's orbit (the lunar month).

But once the lunar month = earth day the transfer will stop and the moon will slowly approach earth again, until it hits the roche limit and becomes a ring.
Isn't Apple very successful with centralised product/tech departments?
The surprise in this for people from the Netherlands is that this is a surprising statistic for people from other countries. Having lived here all my life, my first thought was: 2/3 seems a bit low to me. I had to read the article to see that it is a bit lower for primary school kids (who can often walk) and actually 90% for secondary school age.

The differences between our infrastructure compared to other countries somehow grew organically inside the Netherlands, not many people here were noticing that this was anything special. Even right wing politicians here don't really oppose bike infrastructure, except for a few lunatics. Now that everyone here "gets" it, it even seems to be accelerating lately. I think we must thank our politicians, civil servants, city planners and a few very effective activists in the previous century for their good work.
A good friend of mine grew up (as far as I know) in a loving and stable household, though her parents eventually divorced. She had rotten SATs, probably because she attended a terrible high school. There should have been three high schools, but that would have impaired recruiting for the football team, and this was Texas in the 1970s. Oh, and the football coach was also the physics teacher. If he wanted to get an early start on practice prep, there was no physics class that day, and in those days there was not likely to be an appeal beyond the football coach.

That's an awfully bold statement. It'd be nice if you showed some evidence that classified information leakage and military desertion rates are anywhere near the rate of speed limit violations, which at a first approximation I would guess is pretty near 100% of licensed drivers doing it at least once. As a person who served in the military and still holds a clearance, I don't know the true rates, but in 15 years I have so far witnessed 0 desertions and 0 classified spills (caveat that I did witness one accidental copy of a classified course catalog onto an unclassified e-mail that was self-reported and immediately resulted in every unclassified workstation and hard drive in the 1st CAV headquarters being quarantined and wiped until it was determined the spill went no further, and we had no network access for a week while that was happening).

I didn’t realize how good I had it growing up in a 1920s streetcar suburb of a Rust Belt city, where pretty much everyone walked or biked to school. Even people who are lukewarm on postwar suburbia usually hew to the consensus that it’s the ideal place to raise kids, and it makes no sense. Children need environments they can navigate under their own power.
Does the media even care? If they're not concerned whether or not we trust them in the first place, they won't get any more trustworthy.
Also a lot of PMs are former engineers. One could argue a person capable of doing both at a high level is "smarter" than a person who cannot. Certainly they would have a unique perspective compared to people who have only been on one side or the other.

But like you said, intelligence is multifaceted, and comparing people's intelligence is pointless and divisive.

Apple has an entire ecosystem it can charge commissions for: Apps, Wallet, Arcade, iTunes, Music, iCloud, etc.

Samsung has none of that - AND doesn't control the operating system.

Apple has a long-term incentive to support devices through software updates and hardware upgrades. This is reflected in used prices: an iPhone 12 still sells at about 50% of original launch price, whereas a Samsung Galaxy S20 (both released in 2020) sells for 25%.
It's important not to mystify "infrastructure/legal/cultural differences" too much. Too often in north america we hear that biking would never work over here because of "cultural differences" but the netherlands went a rather dramatic shift in infrastructure priorities starting in the 70s that's built this biking utopia - it's very possible for other parts of the world to follow suit!
The hardware side of the Android market is very poor. I can get a Samsung which is (at least) as pricy as Apple but not as good. Or I can get one plus for half the price, but the OnePlus I am using for this is dying (battery lasts 6h, screen is starting to burn, USBC port failed) and it's only 9m old.

I am thinking of switching in the next few months and I much prefer Google, open platforms etc.
When there's a gold rush, the only ones really profiting are the ones selling shovels.

Who won in the whole arms race? Hardware manufacturers, and people who could either run arbitrage or steal resources. (Which is which was often a matter of perspective.) Everyone else? Break-even or worse.

What was actually built, for all that effort? Almost nothing. What did we gain as a society? The same.

And I'm not sure that dollar-denominated financial markets are really any different.
None of those systems are autonomous, people still handle the decision-making. Also, AI does not mean faster or more advanced compute; the fact that it requires so many cycles and watts is a testament to its relative inefficiency.

Aerospace code is much too thoroughly-vetted to use something as slow and imprecise as a modern AI system. Existing realtime platforms and sensors are plenty fast, and you can prove that they'll work correctly. Plus, when you're procuring chips to run in an adverse environment, advanced process nodes will probably be too fragile and prone to interference.
This is the complete opposite of what happened. Kenny barely contributed to the project and mostly just wanted to push his anti-trans political views. The other contributors are the ones who actually wrote the bulk of the code. The PolyMC project now has almost no developer talent left, because Kenny kicked everyone who doesn't agree with him.

All of the people who contributed significantly have now moved over to https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher, which is a project that isn't going to start making rash decisions based on extremist views.
Similar things were probably said about smartphones with touch screens being inferior to physical buttons.

After using my tablet as a second screen for production, photo editing, CADing, and coding, it's become woefully apparent that the mouse - a tiny singular cursor - is an inferior grandfather to an interface that _also_ supports multitouch, and the only thing holding tablets back is software. Obsidian is a good example of a mobile app that has parity with its desktop version in both maintaining its keyboard shortcuts but also enabling touch interactions closer to the affordances of physical notes.

Let's check in again in a few device generations.
Depends what point on the spectrum you refer to by "how". Implementation, creativity, or the focus and discipline required to combine the two? :P

I had a quick look; as always with the presentations on this website, all the un-minified JavaScript is right there for you to pour over: https://ciechanow.ski/js/sound.js

So that covers the implementation: a giant pile of WebGL to power the rotatable boxes and animate effectively using the GPU, alongside in this case a bunch of Web Audio code.

Unfortunately that doesn't cover the focus/discipline part, which I would definitely appreciate some pointers on... one of these days I'll find some that fit within my ADHD address space xD

You just need some way to interact with it as multiple graphs. Some variation of labeled edges is probably the best.
Not sure what the data is. I biked 2+ hours almost daily in a major US city for a couple years. Every accident I had was one where I was in a designated bike lane, and the car crossed it to turn or enter a parking lot in an opening. Separating cars from bicycles in my personal anecdotes was what the danger was, I never had issues when I rode on the real road not on a bike lane. Once you're in the bike lane it's like you're in another world and cars forget you're there (and you can't really ride on the regular road when there's a bike lane next to you, as it makes drivers hostile).
> To mine bitcoin you need to buy an asic, which is a single purpose physical good with at most two original maker (fabs). It needs to be physically received. This single distribution is trivial to track by the authorities and makes bitcoin mining a permissioned system.

There is no hard limit here on the supply chains for miners, this is like saying "there are at most two mobile phone operating systems". Sure it is somewhat true, but there is no deep reason it must be true.

Second, bitcoin mining is not a permissioned system. A permissioned system means that the system itself imposes permissions. You are talking about actions outside of the system that would perhaps incentives people to not use the system. This is a concern but not the same as being a permissioned system.

> All it takes is indirect or direct control over >50% of hashrate to censor anything.

For bitcoin PoW and ethereum PoS (hashrate => stake percentage) this is true. However the difference is that with PoW it is possible to increase the supply of mining hashrate to overthrow this quorum of censorship by literally building more physical hardware. In ethereum, if this ever happens there is no recourse as the supply of coins to stake is finite.
That article reads like an advertisement. Imatinib generic sells for $120 to $150 according to goodrx. $47 sounds like they are eating the cost to gain customers, because if Costco cannot get it at a lower price, I doubt some new business can magically get it at a lower price.
