What, more precisely, is that?

It'd be interesting with examples :-)

Could that be e.g. Neo4j bringing their Enterprise Edition closed source? Hoping to maximize revenue ... But risking that customers jump to an OSS alternative

As long as the founder has voting majority, can't s/he just ignore the investors? What happens then? Hmm, maybe there'll be no C round?
But that has to do with the specialization via breeding more than it has to do with anything intrinsic. We raise dual purpose chickens on a hobby basis, and I understand that, yes, this would not be acceptable on an industrial/commercial scale, but that says more about that kind of market, that kind of farming & the way consumers are insulated from the affects of it than it does about the quality of the birds or the meat.

In other words, yet again, the true externalities are not always exposed to the consumer.

EDIT: I should mention I am also fully in favour of things like this genetic engineering work that could provide a larger scale solution assuming they can be done humanely. Same for male dairy cows.

I agree in principle. How could they balance that force, without arbitrarily ruling over foreign companies? I don’t know. Maybe clarify what is "arbitrarily”?

Yes, we could explore the solar system much more quickly and much more cheaply, if we simply leave out the humans.

This has been explained repeatedly for decades.

There will be more humans on Mars in 100 years, if we skip sending the humans now and develop the technology to automate process first.

This is a pretty gaslighty comment. Clearly Democrats are left wing and Republicans are right wing, and ppl who are on those wings tend to vote for those respective parties.

I presume the two smokers did more than just smoke. If they were parents They probably also provided food, education, love and whole lot of other things than just secondary smoke. Life tends to be a complex mix of good and bad.
Yeah but smokers are a minority (significant but small relative to the overall population) where as ICE cars are almost universal and actually serve a purpose to society, whereas smoking has no societal advantage beyond self pleasure/addiction.
It's not just a company problem.

Nope. It's needless confusion. We're programmers who have stuff to do, and syntactic stuff like unless are not helpful.

It appears to be working/progressing properly so far (and quite rapidly compared to norms in the industry), including the Raptor engines. I doubt that's it.

Musk has very obviously poor impulse control. Someone more contained, patient, less impulsive, would have waited and taken a more strategic approach to acquiring Twitter (which would have left an opening to let the stock implode with the rest of the tech market, after which one could have pounced and grabbed it for far cheaper). On the flip side, that less impulsive person probably wouldn't have started SpaceX in the first place (given the suicidal fiscal task involved and context at the time in the industry), or wouldn't have gone to the financial extremes required to make it succeed (betting essentially all of his wealth on Tesla and SpaceX).
One can always play that game and find that actually almost any country is the only source of innovation by choosing the abort condition carefully (just as an example: the most important component of the light source is the high-power pulsed laser source, which is made by Trumpf - a German company).
Even if they're not seen as investment, a drop greater than equity means someone may not be able to move, and that's a problem that just doesn't happen if food gets cheaper.
Also it makes things more equal. Like appellant courts can tell only x number of pages. And for that sort of limit to make sense the line spacing, font size and margins need to be consistent. With only set of fonts allowed.

Courts really don't want to argue about how any submission is laid out and in best case they get to just throw out something looking wrong saving their time.
That all depends on how the word is used, no? I swear often, but it's never at people, rather I use them as adjectives or whatnot (eg, "Take the fucking trash out,") or during times of frustration (eg, "God fucking damnit", "Jesus fucking christ"). That's where I think the argument can be made about removing the taboo, because really, at least when I say it (and perhaps that's where this argument falls apart? Because it all boils down to intent...), there's no difference between, "Aww man," and "Oh for fucks sake", or, "Take the stupid trash out," and "Take the fucking trash out".

Hi! I am the creator of Shipnix and just saw this post on the front page :)

Hope you find it interesting!

I'm reading comments coming in and will try to answer your questions as best I can!
I'm not sure what "out of pocket" is supposed to mean in this context. The UK's NHS has standardised fees paid at relatively standard rates out of taxes. Most care is free at point of service. Prescriptions aren't free, but it's possible to cap the annual amount spent on meds at a very low level. (Last time I looked it was somewhere around £100.)

Meanwhile the US has hundreds of thousands of medical bankruptcies every year.

https://balancingeverything.com/medical-bankruptcies-statist...

Health care is more expensive because most insurance doesn't contribute much to out-of-network costs, and if you have an accident in the middle of nowhere you won't get directed to the nearest in-network facility.

Even if you're in-network copays, exclusions, and other scams can turn a medical emergency into a financial catastrophe.

It's a completely outrageous, exploitative, inhumane system.
The design of the National Ignition Facility was never intended to study commercially viable fusion power. It's exclusively a physics testing facility with origins for testing the physics of thermonuclear fusion weapons for better bomb design.

Nothing that happens at the NIF is very useful in heading towards commercially viable fusion. The design of the testing apparatus is also similarly incompatible with making a sustained fusion device as there is no way to continuously feed in fuel into the device, nor methods of extracting the energy.
A little napkin math says the columnar mass of the Martian atmosphere is 18 g/cm^2, versus 10g / cm^2 of aluminum shielding discussed in the paper. So being on the Martian surface would probably give you something like 1/10 (atmosphere + planetary mass + environment suit) the heavy ion radiation exposure of deep space. You'd need to be pretty deep underground most of the time (no windows, at least) to be safe for the duration of a reasonable visit. I'll pass!

I generally agree with you, but if I had to steelman SBF's actions:

1. Prosecutors don't operate independently of the court of public opinion. They can throw the book at you (e.g. the George Floyd officers) or let you off easy (e.g. other officers who historically did similar things but did not face the same charges).

2. The current perception is that he committed fraud (like Madoff), and if convicted for that would likely go to prison for the rest of his life.

3. He's clearly not innocent of wrongdoing, and there's too many people involved who are cooperating with authorities, so just being quiet doesn't help him as much (in contrast to being found at a crime scene with no witnesses).

4. If he can get a conviction only of criminal negligence then perhaps he can get out of prison faster.

5. Thus perhaps if he can loudly admit to being a bumbling idiot and super negligent, it might sway the public opinion to criminal negligence instead of outright fraud.
This was a trend for a minute back in the late 00's. Any system that was

The idea was that SD-cards take less power and where cheap enough you could have a whole gang of spares with images ready to just drop in place. I'm not saying it was a good idea, just that I've encountered this more than once.
If Putin had a big red button that ran wirelessly and automatically, I'd be concerned.

Human beings have to actually implement the order. I think a first-strike order on the US without a serious and immediate existential threat to the Russian state and people winds up with someone offing him with their sidearm.

The Russians have plenty of precedent for this (both offing the leadership, and more generally "oops, he fell out of a window" as a solution), and we've a number of historical examples of lower-level folks going "I don't wanna" in false-alarm situations, like Stanislav Petrov.

> There's no reason for credit card users to spend time protecting the bank's money like that - credit cards are not your money and their security is not your problem

(Not the person you replied to) It depends on the regulations. I don't think all countries have the same liability/protection laws regarding credit cards as the US.
The whole premise is simply wrong.

The EU is setting rules for enterprises operating within their borders. Those that wish to operate must comply, others not.

There are definitely options around that, though. For example, hire the artist as a freelancer. Alternatively, hire them through an employment agency. Or just give them a short-term contract. That could even be a zero-hour contract, meaning basically zero liabilities. A company going bankrupt of course voids any employment contract.

In general, the regulations make it harder for a company to screw over their employees at any moment they wish to do so. The employer is expected to assume certain risks and burdens in case of long-term employment. But there's not a lot you need to commit to for short-term work.

It can also take an argument and will then return the count of the number of items which compares equal to the argument.

"count" is only equivalent to "length" and "size" when called with no argument and no block, and should be slower for that case (it includes a comparison of arity and a call to rb_block_given_p() in MRI before it returns the array length).

> They trust technocratic experts to know what's best for people. And implement.

It helps to be small & pragmatic. People (mostly) follow the rules and politicians (mostly) only implement rules with broad support. Police have wide discretion to apply laws and (mostly) do this to benefit public good.

That's not to say we don't have problems, of course, but this particular law is seen as a compromise approach to public health that more-or-less works for everyone.
Fair enough. To be extra pedantic, mass-energy is conserved in a fixed inertial frame of reference.

I haven't used raid for an OS or boot partition in years. We focus on provisioning and HA. Data goes on a raid an that's it.

Software as a Product – The European Union Goes There
The incentive is "have a job". Idiotic incentives are "paid per number of lines written", "paid by bugs solved", etc. That's what I'm talking about.
Well, they would accomplish a reverse revolution for once.
I believe the Manhattan project (where we basically built an entire new city, and entire new manufacturing process from scratch: mining operations, refineries, enrichment, milling, etc.) cost less in constant dollars than the stealth fighter.
Honestly this is going to have 1 or 3 outcomes:

1. Nothing is going to change and I will continue to use my phone as it was before because the App Store is still the primary driver.

2. I will be forced to use third party stores because critical apps are no longer distributed through the App Store.

3. I will just be using my phone less and less.

The EU, Developers, and Many here continue to forget that the reason many of us use an iPhone is because of the walled garden. If I wanted an open platform I would switch to Android and mod the hell out of it.

I don't want that. I want the precautions that Apple has in place to make it so developers can't employ dark patterns to keep me as a paying subscriber. To mine the data on my phone for their profit.

With one or 2 clicks of a button I can cancel any subscription I want that I did through the App Store. I also get alerts when anything yearly is about to charge (from Apple) or when things are about to cost more than they used to. Instead of hoping that we just wouldn't see the alert like too many sites do.

People keep saying that this is about choice, which frankly... is bull. This is about choice for the developer not the consumer. Most consumers don't care, but developers will jump ship to another App Store if they can start doing all of the negative practices that they are not allowed to do on the App Store. Especially if they are big enough, Seriously think that Facebook won't try to have their own App Store? Considering what they have gotten up to very recently.

We already have enough developers purposefully trying to deceive users right before they get the prompt about allowing the app to track.

Anyone... please tell me how this actually benefits ME as a consumer and not developers?

Edit: Instead of replying to each one I am going to just post here.

Many of you are saying Android does not have this issue. But unless I am mistaken Epic Games did exactly this?

Also unless I am mistaken, many of the consumer protecting restrictions are not on android. Especially around subscriptions and billing issues. I know google is cracking down on it, but from what I understand it is not as universally in place.

So developers don't have the incentives to move to another App Store on Android like they do on iOS (again benefiting developers while hurting me as a consumer)

Edit: I am going to make one last point here. I spend a fair amount of money on App Store subscriptions. (or buying apps but that is sadly not as popular anymore). I do this because I don't worry about singing up to try something, knowing that I can very easily cancel it. I don't even have to talk to the company.

This leads me to signing up for apps that I would never have considered paying for if it was through a traditional website that would make me jump through who the hell knows what hoops to cancel.

They complain about the 30% cut, but from me. It is you get 70% or I give my money to someone else.

I cannot imagine I am the only one that does this.
TLDR is there isn't nearly enough tritium, but fusion reactors can make more (while still generating energy)
You're using n as a parameter of the machine's specs, which is a big no-no. You can't just come up with a bigger machine for each consecutive value of n. If that were allowed, all algorithms would trivially be O(1).

We usually assume the pointer size to be infinite (e.g. RAM machine), to avoid having to deal with access time. But if we don't, then it must be a constant size (and we have to adjust the big O formulas accordingly). In neither of those cases do you get free arbitrary length xor operations. Just like you don't get e.g. free arbitrary length multiplications either.

One nice property of xor, however, is that you can parallelize the heck out of it. So you can get arbitrary constant factor improvements by adding a bunch of CPUs.
Yes. But not per line of code. Or per bug fixed.
It's, depending what calculation you believe, around 20 billion for ITER. Started in 2013, first plasma in 2025, first full fusion in 2035. So about a billion per year.
Of course, costs are calculated differently, and I'm not sure on what time scale the 600 million are, but it's not that drastically different.

Research wise, it's a pretty big chunk of money. But yeah, more money in research would be nice. (Disclaimer: I am a scientist with grants.)

Scrub checks every data and metadata block and compare to checksum. If missing, or wrong transid, or wrong csum, btrfs will replace the block from a good copy.

There is a potential gotcha with parity being wrong following a crash or powerfail, the so-called write hole. Scrub doesn't check parity, and parity isn't checksummed. The write hole though is arguably two parts: wrong parity and propagated wrong reconstruction.

In the usual write-hole case, both happen silently. Wrong parity could happen after a power fail, crash, misdirected or torn write - whether the array is functioning normally or degraded. However, wrong reconstruction only happens if there's a failure to read a data strip (bad sector or full device failure).

On btrfs, only the wrong parity being written is possible. Upon reconstruction from bad parity, the resulting data is compared to csum and will fail, thus propagation doesn't happen.

To cause parity to be recomputed and rewritten, yes you need to do a full balance. But among all the block group profiles, that's only raid5 and raid6. Single, DUP, raid1, raid1c3, raid1c4, raid10 aren't affected and a scrub does reallocate missing blocks on mirrors.
