Funny what gets picked up. I'm not convinced Neuromancer is a good movie plot-wise, and it risks looking like a cheap Blade Runner clone.

Why can't someone adapt Consider Phlebas? The book is already an action/adventure movie and the drones would make great merch :)
> IIRC Gibson stated that Neuromancer is basically "un-movieable".

Honestly, I'd have to disagree. As far as novels go, it's actually fairly amenable to a film or TV adaptation -- the storyline is linear and follows a single main character with clear motivations, and the storytelling doesn't rely too heavily on internal monologue or implicit knowledge. It's perhaps a little too dense for a feature film, but as a TV series it'd be perfectly fine.

Some of the technical aspects of the story might make it more difficult to adapt -- like the scenes set in orbit, or in cyberspace -- but that's no longer the insurmountable obstacle it used to be. The Expanse had no problem realistically depicting scenes set in space, for example.
While being a commuter vehicle is probably the most common use of a truck, there are plenty of other use-cases where refueling time matters that I wouldn't exactly call niche. For example, travelling out of town for outdoor activities. Another is using a truck as a work vehicle, where it makes numerous trips during the day, carrying heavy loads on a tight schedule.

I ment the first sovjet reactor, were they literally diverted a river through the reactor core. Polluting all villages and a sea down stream forever.
If zealous supporters of coal plants asked for the fumes to go into their neighborhood I still would not be on board. Have you ever seen the effects of coal power? Like really - lived there?

Why should the profit be made in france if the engineering that went into delivery was made in the US, the content was made in X, the deal for the content was negotiated in Y, network source is Z (probably france, but not necessarily)

VAT in France on the subscription makes sense, but figuring out where the profit lies, is more nebulous.
Yes, though those don't help so much with illnesses transmitted through breathing
Different frameworks focus on different aspects of product management. For example, some are focused on customer segmentation, while others are about prioritisation or time management. The point is, it is not a case of picking one and building your entire product management strategy around it.

Every one of the frameworks we will look at is a valuable addition to any product manager’s toolbox. Let's go!
Do you believe that when Paolo Gentiloni is using the words ‘social justice’, to describe a goal he is evidently in favor of accomplishing via the EU, he is saying he intends to adopt the economic and social policies of communist Poland?

Because I think that is a fairly uncharitable reading of what he likely intends.
I've heard good things, I look forward to torr- I mean paying for a subscription of Apple TV+ to check it out!

On a more serious note, I'm open to the idea it could be great. I hate HBO and their business model, but I'll be damned if they didn't use their power to make some phenomenal television. That being said, the irony is more in the context of the source material, rather than how good or bad the show might be. At the very least, Rings of Power doesn't portray a Numenorean package fulfillment center...
Not generally opposed to masking, but the answer is "up to the individual" and "clearly indicated by their choices".
It being a "global goal" is exactly what I don't like. I don't especially care if a country wants to tax their citizens whatever high. My problem is only when we reach a state of a "global government" deciding what's best for specific countries.

In many ways the article feels like it's documenting kids with the freedom to have an opinion. Looking at the pictures in the article, it feels like a pretty uniform demographic. And in New York City, no less.

Also, they idolize Chris McCandless - he was also a child of privilege who wanted to reject society. Chris didn't have to die but he did because he went up to Alaska woefully unprepared. That doesn't make his death any less tragic, of course.

I guess my point is that this phenomenon is not anything new, if anything we've just gotten for enough into the 21st century that the 1970s ethic is making a comeback.
It seems like not really an apples-to-apples comparison anyway. Designing a text editor, there are just a lot more subjective questions.

The technical issues are also sort of different, fixing latency problems is a totally different type of problem that developing a framework for how an optimizing compiler should do its thing. Both valuable and hard things to do, hard to come up with a metric to rank them.
RoP's cardinal sin was that it was boring. HotD and Andor are both examples of megacorporations producing art that resonates with humans in 2022. RoP didn't have to suck.
Yes it is possible.

Main difference is that on a flat surface the dome weight is distributed across the base "automatically". If you just "copy-paste the default flat-terrain dome" on a sloped terrain, the bottom vertices might end up supporting more weight than the top ones. This might be ok for small/temporary domes. For something bigger/more permanent, you might want to "cut the sphere" in such a way that the weight distribution is as uniform as possible.

Also keep in mind that even on a flat surface geodesic domes a foundation - for example so that they don't fly away when there's strong wind. This would go double in sloped terrain.
I agree that he's not admirable, but I too am impressed by his incredible skill. Lots of people are amoral, greedy liars. But this guy was world class. It's sort of the same way I feel about toxoplasmosis or zombie ants [1]: I want to stay as far away as possible, but if I set aside my revulsion, it's fascinating. Especially in the way that it tells us about vulnerabilities that we might not otherwise spot.

> Tax companies that are currently hiding profits in tax havens.

> No single country can do this

I don't understand. If America already has a >15% tax rate, then it already abides by these rules. America is not a tax haven.
Likewise corporate tax should be in the jurisdiction where services are rendered. You sell something digitally in a market then you are locating yourself in that market and that’s where you should pay tax on profit for goods sold there.
Oh that's really ugly, do you know which reactor this was?
I think the only way to do Neuromancer justice is to recapture the camp yet earnest energy of the Johnny Mnemonic movie. Unfortunately I don't have high hopes.
Jaywalking is also illegal in a lot of places, doesn't mean its enforced.
It didn't but Asimov probably got tired of trying to adapt real Roman history for his space epic.

I wonder if the Mule vaguely corresponds to the rise of Muhammad and the Muslim conquests?

Some people's Trump obsession is worse than you think.

I'm so sick of hearing about Trump, but unfortunately both he and his opponents feel it's best to keep him in the news as much as possible.
Isn't that an argument against CDNs like cloudflare that makes it impossible to comply with court orders like that (whether you agree with it or not) without creating this mess? Especially for a big player like cloudflare. More than this, It is argument against one CDN having much control over the internet.
I know someone who works in the digital id space, and the businesses pushing this stuff at the governments are far more interested in their business than your rights. And governments have a habit of slipping in things they find convenient. With some insider insight I'd suggest pushing back very hard against this sort of thing.
I love building things, so I'll continue to build things. I'll probably use AI to do "grunt work".

Writing code feels like "grunt work" when I really want my idea to exist as quickly as possible.

But sometimes writing code is the entire point! There's a simple pleasure in making something feel "clean". I suspect that editing code generated by AI will scratch this itch for me.
Just canceled my membership because they closed the only location in San Francisco that had something resembling modern office bike storage.

The rest of their bike parking "amenities" seem to just be the bare minimum required by San Francisco law, which often means having to take a freight elevator which can take a very long time in a busy building, or put it in a shared cage in a parking garage that is open to the public.

Notably they didn't send me any notification regarding the office closure, I just opened the app and it was gone.
I have not seen those either but I will need to.

Wasn't there at tom hanks movie that involved a robot or something?
> If that trend keeps up in the 2020s, anything else will have a real hard time catching up.

That's the problem though: *IF* that trend holds. Past performance doesn't guarantee future performance.

Climate change presents an existential threat to civilization so relying on a single trend holding seems like a fairly risky bet to make if you ask me.

In that vein, I'd argue for throwing everything at the problem. Build it all, wind, solar, geothermal, and nuclear. If we overshoot and spend billions more than was necessary, great, that's a hell of a lot better than undershooting and losing trillions from entire economies shutting down.

The acting, dialogue, script for the empire aspects were so great.

I stayed up WAY too late to see what they would do next on a few occasions.

The emperors were horrible and yet I just couldn’t help but watch and sometimes hope they did X,y,or z. Not cheer for them but something like that.
It's cognitive dissonance, and everyone is susceptible to this.

We're super good at rationalizing things when we hear conflicting information, so we can bear a lot of shit until the breaking point.
I am pretty sure that my dog enjoys the fact that he's trained me to pick up his poop.
Back when I worked at OmniTI (from like 2015 to 2017), we had an in-house Illumos neé Solaris distro for cloud servers named OmniOS. I didn't use it too much myself as it was somewhat legacy but all the other devs who used it for prod debugging loved all the dtrace/zfs stuffs on it.

Any idea how much it could benefit retail investors?

I gather that this arbitrage made large amounts of money a penny or so at a time. Which is to say, your own trades might net small numbers of dollars more -- money you're entitled to, to be sure, but not exactly changing the world.

I could be wrong about that, and either way I've got no love for middlemen providing nothing, not even liquidity. So I'm trying to get a handle on how big a change this actually is for everybody except the high-frequency traders.
Go figure when the government owns the reactor and hires technicians to maintain them, they can be built "quickly".

In an earlier post here

> The truly unique feature of US nuclear power is the unlimited power that was given to federal regulators.

> [...] Congress had effectively told the regulator make the rules up as you go. This meant the regulator had no problem changing the rules. A design that was legal at the start of construction, could be declared illegal any time thereafter.

The solution may be that the federal government owns the plant and contracts out the work. Ultimately, the government would have to answer to itself about regulation changes.
I can't imagine this is going to go well.

At least it's not "Snow Crash". For the love of all that is good please, nobody try to adapt "Snow Crash". (I wonder if I should try to crowd-fund buying the film rights to "Snow Crash" so it can be off-the-table forever...)
I'm pretty sure "unfilmable" means "any adaptions wouldn't be good".
All I'm saying is I don't see how the pre-existance of mandatory ID under a democratic government would be a significant boon for an eventual dictatorship. I understand that based on principle one might prefer not to have them, but to me they are really innocuous and extremely practical.

Unlike facial recognition cameras, which there's at least some political will to ban (https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-edges-closer-to-a-ban...).
Counter-Counterpoint: You're right that Foundation was unfilmable, which is why they were wrong to even attempt it. They should have just written their own story instead of pretending to adapt another, but they're not brave enough for that. Or they knew they weren't good enough writers to come up with a story that stood on its own, without a popular legacy to prop it up.

I will say though, Foundation is more filmable than some of Asimov's other books. The Gods Themselves is truly, utterly, unfilmable.
But if there's only the southwest resemblance between the two (eg World War Z) then it's just a stupid money grab and why not make a new universe for the story to exist in? It would lead to better franchising opportunities when there aren't books to compete with.
I'd say it teaches you how to use Linux. It's not the particular details of each config file, but the fact that there are config files, and where to look for them. By the end of an Arch install, you know at least 85% of how to manage your system, and wiki will take you to let's say 98%.
USA needs to tax companies that are headquartered in tax havens, to ensure that those companies can't enjoy less than 15% global taxes. I don't think that USA is doing that right now.
I agree that nuclear waste is an overblown problem, but that link entirely ignores the structural components that become radioactive. There's lots of things like concrete and steel that need to be contained as well.
Amazon has several: The Expanse counts for a lot in my book.

Netflix obviously has Stranger Things, Dark, now 1899, and a million other things because they just make some of everything. Sense8, Black Mirror, Love Death and Robots, Cyberpunk Edgerunners...
At this point, I’d tend to agree. However, this is a bit of a broad and inaccurate statement. Wearing masks gave society time to catch up in terms of vaccinations and other measures.
I agree; I would prefer to get rid of the voting entirely if it is limited to one dimension. If votes are available for many dimensions, then the votes might be good and useful; as they are, I do not like them and do not use them, and would rather have an option to use chronological display order. (If you can download the file on your computer and run your own SQL queries, then you can also make up your own criteria however you want to do. However, in such a case, it should need to support incremental updates.)

> the GDPR which never mentions either aircraft or cars

ICO's guide to the UK GDPR does have a specific example of cars being identifiable[1] - "A vehicle’s registration number can be linked to other information held about the registration (eg by the DVLA) to indirectly identify the owner of that vehicle." Nothing about planes though.

[2] covers car registrations and explicitly discounts company owned vehicles from being PII - "The registration plates of commercial vehicles are not personal data of an individual as the vehicle is owned by an organisation."

The evidence is pretty mixed, and even the studies showing the strongest effects have mask wearing yielding something like a 50% reduction in transmission.

I haven't seen anyone model what this looks like on longer timescales. Does this mean that you're just delaying the inevitable? If so, and the disease is mild and we're not going to overwhelm hospitals with the infected, what's the benefit?
I really enjoyed Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Been recommending it to everyone that will listen. I felt it really nailed what I imagined Neuromancer would look like. E.g. the "hacking" scenes looked exactly like the 'ice' hacking in Neuromancer.

Will be checking out Pantheon as well, thanks.
I don't even think the communist government of Poland wanted to adopt those policies. The problem with "social justice" is not the intention behind it but the actual implementation and what it requires. For example, here we don't go from country to country asking their citizens if they agree with the tax rate, instead we create an unelected global body that decides what the rest of the world is going to do (in this example raise taxes).
No because the law allow the EU country to tax the benefit made inside of their boundary if the company is not subject to the minimal 15% tax rate. So if the US don’t want to tax at 15%, EU country will tax on their side.
Survivors of an abusive relationship might struggle with the fact that their partner told them that they ‘loved’ them, and yet that supposed love took the form of cruelty and abuse.

They might struggle to trust anybody else who talks about ‘love’.

But that doesn’t mean that other people who use the word ‘love’ are secret abusers.

There is more to life than a myopic focus on avoiding one specific illness. I’ve got a million other problems in my life to worry about. Catching Covid isn’t anywhere near the top of that list.

This applies to society as a whole as well. The damage caused by our incredibly myopic focus on Covid is far, far greater than the damage actually caused by the virus itself.
> You don't build a startup for income security or to get rich quick.

Got it. Two questions:

1. What are some acceptable __extrinsic__ motivations to build one?

2. When this thread eventually crosses the "No True Scotsman" threshold, can we discuss the legitimacy of so-called "Lifestyle Startups"?
So it's 1/2 of the advertised range if you tow a 1500 lbs trailer and 1/3 of the range if you tow 4000 lbs. An expensive toy, basically. Btw, beware that if batteries in this EV catch fire, it will be impossible to extinguish, so keeping it in your garage will likely void home insurance.
And Amazon is adapting Warhammer 40k.

Let’s hope they won’t botch it like they did with The Foundation and the Rings of Power. (I don’t have high hopes)

Or licensing deals. If I license a processor and put it in my product that's designed in the US, using an ARM core licensed from the UK, manufactured in China, sold to a distributor in Switzerland, and sold to an end user in Australia.

Where were the profits from that device made? Surely not entirely in Australia (or any of the other single jurisdictions), as actual value was added in several different locations.

> highest quality of maple syrup you can get is the ‘extra-light’ type

Unless you are trying to replace sugar and want to minimize flavor, the lightest syrup isn’t really the “highest quality”. The recent move away from letter grading reflects this.
I don't think this would work for me, absent some sort of brain surgery. Even if I'm not looking at my phone, my brain still knows I could look at my phone, which colors my experience.

I think these kids have the right idea, going back to a flip phone. (Or maybe the modern variant: go Apple-watch only.)
I agree, in an alternative universe with a different director (maybe even a different edit), the show could probably be pretty good. HotD was good, but frankly it's a capitalization on how god-awful GoT's 8th season was. They could have produced a wet shit like Amazon did and it would still be a redemption arc for G.R.R.M's television adaptations.

Andor I haven't seen yet (not a disney guy) but I sorta get the same vibes. Disney, for all their artistic weal and woe, makes a ton of safe and boring films these days. It doesn't really impress me that they can put together an M-rated show that doesn't suck.

You're absolutely right. When we are all fully fledged EU-colonies and the non-democratically elected Urzula has bought out all corrupt politicians to the benefit of Germany, "we" will understand what it means.
It’s sad you get downvoted. Mask wearing is incredibly dehumanizing in my opinion. It is a symbol of fear and control. It never ever should never have been mandated, only recommended.
> I don't understand why the chain of custody matters if DKIM and DMARC are legitimate ways to verify the communications contained in the laptop.

Whether the information is real is orthogonal to how it was obtained. Conspiring with a hostile adversary to release damaging information about a political opponent is also political malfeasance.

The circumstances of how the information was obtained is incredibly suspect and that deserves scrutiny, even if the information is legitimate and actionable.

> The focus on crack smoking hookers getting clapped by Biden isn't as interesting when it comes to political malfeasance.

That's kind of my point: why was that stuff leaked and spread when there was actually damning evidence? To me, it seems like the point was to release as much damaging and embarrassing content as possible to harm Joe Biden.
Appreciate the answer, thanks.
