<< I have no way to actually prove that assertion, leaving it to be an illogical statement and a bad faith response

And that is your opinion. The response was a bona fide response, but I am no longer inclined to indulge this sophistry. You are wrong even in the summary itself. I provided reasons and rationale for why a given opinion is held and your response was to indicate that it is 'wrong opinion to hold, because A', which itself is just an opinion. In short, our views differ, because you hold an opinion that I hold the wrong opinion.

It is impossible to argue with that and so I will not spend more time on this thread.

Fare well.
Some people feel headaches when Earth ionosphere disturbances happen, but I have not hear good scientific explanation.

Most relevant I know, modern research found in mammals sensitivity to magnetic fields, so it is possible, it exists as rudiment in human, so not all sensitive.
DCS is a videogame, 5:1 in a videogame means nothing. DCS knows nothing about missiles, radar, electronic warfare and the like.

It does not even get basic stuff like plane handling realistic.
Did dominoes not fall in 2008? 2000? There is always a trigger action. The mania that has been pervasive for the past few years has not been good. A boom cycle of 14 years is too long to not be painful when it turns to bust.

Speaking of musical chairs it feels like people want the bank to keep playing as the ship goes down. Will we recover from it? Almost certainly we will, but the pain inflicted on many during that time will not be fun. We have an new generation in the workforce that has really only known prosperity for as far back as their conscious memories stretch.

If money was my profession then you'd best believe I'd be capitalizing on this. Look at Citadel's profits from last year, despite being initially caught off guard, and losing a fair amount, at the hands of folks from Wall Street Bets.

I do wholeheartedly believe this downturn will be worse than 2008 and 2000, perhaps on the levels we saw during the 1970s and 1980s, or slightly worse. I don't believe people see this as even remotely possible and that, I believe, is dangerous.
The last part is the key problem. The host ghosted and never responded to anything after the booking confirmation. Showed up and no contact or way to get into the property. So decided to book another place while AirBnB sorted out the refund, but didn't have the necessary funds to rebook because the refunded funds would not be released until the next day (technically they said up to 4 days but in practice seems to be next day).
The thinking is that NATO should have some level of equipment commonality so that people can work together, communicate together, use a different country’s equipment in a pinch, etc. with minimal training.

The Ukranians are using Western equipment but they had to be trained to use it first, and that took weeks if not months. That’s precious time in the kind of war involving all of NATO.

I don’t know that the F-35 is the only plane currently meeting requirements, if only because that would represent a bottleneck and single point of failure.

In general I prefer taxes over bans, unless good alternatives exist. Polystyrene (styrofoam) has plenty of alternatives so it's reasonable to ban. Plastic plates could be replaced with paper plates, but I'm not sure what to do about single use plastic cutlery.
Also, I'm kind of confused, why do you think you'd have more privacy in other countries or with other systems? Even without credit scores, you still have credit cards, debit cards etc and all this can be tracked? There were massive data breach at places like Target, wouldn't you be impacted without credit scores and those 3 companies?

Outside of living off the grid, paying everything in cash, how do you want to have privacy about how you spend your money in this day and age?
Tribute to the US’s unrivaled defense development maybe
Iceland has no military and is part of NATO. Jets not required.
You might have a point if the story was something like "Canada's 88-point plan for dealing with undesirables", but we're talking about buying fighter jets.
Can't get much more simple than the hario switch:

- Heat up water

- If you are anal, rinse your paper filter (very optional, do you do this for drip? no :))

- Fill hario with water (yes, water first)

- Dump in coffee

- Stir, if you want, or don't

- Wait whatever. I don't time it. Can't really go too long if your grind is course enough. Go do whatever you do when your drip is brewing.

- Hit Button to dump coffee into cup

That's it. Basically the same as a drip machine honestly, and you'll get better results :)
As ridiculous as the GP is being here regarding the number of planes, they are unfortunately still correct that "88" has long been used as a neo-nazi shibboleth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#In_neo-Nazism
Thanks, I was just looking for a way to do this today!

Looks like there are some caveats and a slightly different approach: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/235254
I doubt that is true. Airbus also develops advanced combat jets, namely the eurofighter:

D&D drowns out the rest of the market, practically speaking. We don’t have a great way to measure overall play but Roll20, the dominant virtual tabletop, publishes their stats regularly and D&D is more than 50%. Call of Cthulhu is around 15%. It drops quickly from there.

There’s a huge network effect at work here. It’s easier to find D&D players than players of any other game — not that you can’t find them, but D&D is easier. WotC runs organized play programs such that I can walk into almost any brick and mortar tabletop gaming store in the country and immediately find a regular game.

Look at https://startplaying.games/search and count the number of D&D games compared to anything else.

And this has happened before. D&D 4e got rid of the OGL, which made people have these same conversations. This did create Pathfinder, but even cloning the earlier version of D&D didn’t prevent WotC from dominating except during the year or two between 4e and the current edition. Plus 4e played really differently, which won’t be the case for this new edition.

I don't think you've chosen a good example.

A better one could've been that you can't reassign specific characters and the string is immutable, but its still a list of characters.

Anyway, the author doesn't think about objects in the oop sense, kind the contrary he thinks any value representation in a computer (or even piece of paper) is an object.

It affects ionosphere, which is relatively low frequency by definition, most time under 50MHz.

In past, where lot of use of under 50MHz bands (most known now shortwave band), because of technology limitations.

Now, most critical usages are over 88-100MHz.

Even more, every smartphone/tablet and display, emit noise in under 50MHz band. Under 1MHz is just sacrificed to cheap electronics, using dc-dc converters, even properly designed/shielded, emit noise (and many examples are not properly designed/shielded).

Only amateurs and radio-astronomers still using shortwave band extensively. And they usually notice events, but nobody cares much.

Few years ago, I've hear about using shortwave for underground communication and geo-radar, but they by definition mostly underground and very high power, just don't see ionosphere disturbances.

Also one of cause of modern mostly line of sight communication usage - question of sharing frequencies.

- Short-wave are hard to share, because You could hear some guy at other side of Earth. LoS is by definition near invisible on other side, because of surface curvature.

To be strict, many objects reflecting waves - clouds, traces of planes, etc, but they are not very powerful.

Some people feel headaches when Earth ionosphere disturbances happen, but I have not hear good scientific explanation.

> Fujitsu's mainframe OS and hardware still survive in Japan, but are stuck on 31-bit – they never made the investment which IBM did to add 64-bit support (with the release of z/OS in 2001).

They also still make SPARC servers, but they recently announced that they will stop selling both in 2029/30, and support will end in 2034/35. Seems like more and more the world is standardizing around Linux and cloud services.

i do a kettle and pourover myself, but it's fundamentally a fallacy to say it's a replacement for a coffee maker, because you have to actively wait for stages to complete and manually move things to the next stage, rather than load everything, press start, and then forget about it until you have coffee ready.
This is great work.

Just FYI the video on https://tomu.im/tomu.html isn't showing because it is private.
It’s a simulator, and prior to real action yes that is the best data you have available. I guess you’re proposing we go start a few skirmishes with a near-peer adversary every time we have a new weapons system to evaluate?
One thing I noticed is that knowing how things can be automated causes teams to actually get slower at getting stuff done.

First, because automation takes some upfront effort to get done.

Second, because once it is set up it frequently acts to prevent change.

I find it is useful to consider alternative solutions to the problem like a checklist (which I call a program that runs on people) which allows you to set up a process in minutes (+ potentially a meeting with your team) and then get back to the project. Once the project has been running for some time you will be in a better position to automate it. First, you will already have some experience with running the process (with the checklist). And second you can plan the task of automating at lower priority and without it becoming a blocker in your more important project.

Yes, it is considered technical debt. Not all debt is bad.
not OP but I've got a Remarkable 2 and don't use the subscription. There's a USB connection that starts a web server which you access the web UI at a set IP address. A little clunky but manageable.
You might be thinking of NATO nuclear sharing, where certain NATO members that aren’t nuclear powers themselves get access to nuclear bombs in the U.S. arsenal. In order to actually use those weapons you need a fighter/aircraft platform certified to use those nuclear bombs. And there are only a couple fighters certified for the nuclear mission, the f-35 among them.

But only a handful of NATO members are a part of nuclear sharing, and Canada isn’t one of them IIRC.
> Alas, that's not how games work.

Plenty of games work this way thankfully.

What you describe after is hell. That’s exactly what I hate about RPG. You don’t have to care about balancing power level and people “bullshiting“ their powers if your game simply doesn’t have these mechanics. I don’t want to have to play through a detailed combats ever especially in a heroic fantasy setting. That’s as far removed from fun a situation as I can imagine.

It’s interesting because our discussion makes it obvious that there are entirely orthogonal way of enjoying RPG with next to no overlap.
What advanced systems from PS5 cannot be retrofitted into PS1?

But to answer your question - stealth airframe. And it’s an enormous benefit - you can’t shoot what you can’t detect. And if that thing has long range weapon systems, good luck.

Canada is part of NATO. The US is obligated to take Canada’s interests into account with regards to the country’s defense.

Canada is buying these planes because they are the most effective fighters available within the general price range.
you can get much more simple - have a coffee maker that heats the water for you and then dumps it over the grounds itself. as the parent said, it's a matter of synchronous vs asynchronous.
That's my perspective. LCOE says what people want it to say, and so it's self-reinforcing. Meanwhile, electricity costs are skyrocketing, and the grid is getting more fragile.

It used to be very common - lots of Victorians in SF were originally laid out like this for example. Most remodels will covert to an open floor plan though because it’s less isolating and claustrophobic for the cook.
It seems easy to draw a 'commodity' box around Bitcoin and thus explain what it going 'mainstream' means: just as easy to trade via legitimate institutions, on behalf of people who have no idea about managing money. A small part of some portfolios, like gold. You seem to have some grand context beyond this? Please share.
This is not true. However, if you want to be part of the US nuclear deterrence program, then only certain platforms can be used. F-35 is one of them.

"Because politicians need kickbacks, wealthy shareholders need "defense" stocks to keep rising and vassal states like Canada need to act at the behest of their geopolitical master."

Because Canada's military has a long history of buying used military equipment that never works from submarines to sea planes to jets. In fairness Canada's army has more people trained in fixing these pieces than actual soldiers to use them.
You can't draw a distinction between people who dislike an asset and "the market" like that. The market includes everyone, not just a select group of people who hold a specific set of opinions.

Also, this focus on the USD exchange rates of specific cryptocurrencies is akin to moving the goalpost right out of the stadium and into, like, a tennis court or something. The shift this article is talking about is not about prices, it's about mainstream institutional support for the asset class. That's not driven by exchange rates, per se, because they're not speculating on it, they're simply enabling their clients to do so. It's more driven by things like whether they believe there's a stable consumer market that can be relied upon to cover their cost of operating in the space and provide some profit as well.
A book is probably a much better format than a podcast. It looks like he just makes assertions without justifying anything.

One of the most important (or the only) metric in his field should be how well you can predict things, and he has a poor track record [0]. He's nowhere close to the top 1% forecasters, so overall I think there are many many sources that understand geopolitics better than him.

I agree with the "if a machine passes a memtest scrub for 24+ hours then it's probably fine" in theory. Sadly in practice I regularly find dimms that generate errors plenty of errors, and test find with memtest.

Not sure why, maybe it's the different memory access patterns, maybe bad dimms are more sensitive to repeated accesses below the rowhammer level, that healthy dimms have no problems with.

I find things like make -j for large builds MUCH better at finding memory errors than memtest.
DCS has 0 information about real life data on modern planes so how would it represent anything close to reality?
Just want to say that it's not your fault. I've gone unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people many times. A college town party being one of the most representative examples. I've never had anything close to that happen to me. I think you were just extremely unlucky. I'm sorry you were robbed in such a horrific way and I'm sorry for how the police treated you.
Amazing place, I was just there a few days ago while visiting Rio. The orchid collection is one of a kind.
Companies that do this should be named, shamed and you should question how financially liable they are. Nobody keeps their bonus to return it, this sounds weirdly illegal. I say let them sue and find a lawyer that challenges the lawsuit on the grounds of what bonuses are meant to be, if you don't want someone to leave before X years, hold their bonuses till their Xth year working for you, but let them pile up, and no take backsies.

Anecdotally, I run a consumer goods business and UPS has set me up with a business account for volume discounts and tries to get me to use them for shipping.

> Vote with your feet

The problem with this is that it is an ambiguous signal. If a product is best on 3/4 features that I care about, buying it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about that fourth feature. Likewise, not buying it would suggest that I don’t care about those other three features, which isn’t the case.

Voting with your feet only makes sense when there is one feature you care about. For example for insurance with a minimum amount of coverage, the only factor I care about is price.
"and prior to real action yes that is the best data you have available."

I am pretty sure the US military does their own wargames to get data for things like this, and I highly doubt they are using DCS as a data source...
Lofty goals but too many degrees of separation I'd say. Not my responsibility to fix the problems of society. I'd go farther and say ubiquitous credit is not a human right, to the extent to force its drawbacks on the rest of us.

That said, I'd agree that both of our plans could be implemented a lot better.

Where's the "objective" part here? It's not impossible to do -- start with a straightforward definition of "good" (we need an axiom) and then show the data that these things have drifted away from that direction.
The first example is because the game had a patch, I'm pretty sure that you can skip that on Switch, but even if you can't, games that couldn't be patched were objectively worse than ones that can.

The second example is social media and has been discussed to death. No arguments there.

The third example, Tesla's UI, could be said to be worse than manual buttons, but the technology in a Tesla is not objectively worse overall than old cars. Electric cars are amazing tech.
Off the top of my head:

GUMSHOE, FATE, Forged in the Dark, Dungeon World, Quest, and Trophy are all available under CC BY licenses. Many of those are fairly popular (if you don’t compare them to D&D) — six figure Kickstarter revenue, for example. Creative Commons has been a reasonably common choice for game designers who want open content for a decade or so.
In the context we're talking about here, "arguments they don't understand" is incredibly rude and also inaccurate. Please be more careful.
We found bed bugs and the best AirBNB would do is cancel and give us a $70 airbnb credit. The owner never answered our calls. Additionally they banned us for 2 days from Airbnb to quarantine but told us we should go to a hotel. It was a nightmare and cleaning all our clothes and luggage while finding a new place at midnight was very stressful.

I had a similar experience where a host canceled on me a day before check-in for a 3 night stay. However, the host canceled over messages, not officially through Airbnb, and Airbnb support couldn't do anything until the host officially confirmed to Airbnb six hours later that they were cancelling (the message in the shared channel wasn't enough).

After getting the official cancellation, Airbnb offered a $100 coupon for my next booking and asked me to book another option that fit my criteria. They asked for some "must-have" and "nice-to-have" criteria but basically just did a search for me and couldn't book for me; I had to book myself. After calling them (Airbnb's phone support is actually quite responsive, which is awesome), I was able to up the coupon to $300. Luckily there were alternative listings available for the dates I found at a reasonable price so it ended up working out, but I wonder what would have happened if I had instead booked a very unique stay in a remote area with no alternatives nearby...

Okay, I'm not sure I grasp everything from this paper, but - maybe it's wishful thinking - it seems this is an argument against the idea that strong IP protection is NOT needed to foment innovation.

Yeah, I understand it's complicated, but there is already a lot of FUD in the world about what copyright and licensing mean. The WotC/OGL discussion deserves a sober discussion by people who understand copyright and licensing, not going along with the fever emanating from places like Twitter.

> I hope government wakes up to how screwed up and dangerous Amazon’s model really is.

The amazon model isn't to drive horribly and park badly. They just pay too little and try to insulate themselves from accountability by hiring contractors while overworking their drivers to the extent that they have to piss in bottles to get through a shift without being punished.

Have you complained to anyone about the problem you've seen with drivers? Called the police? UPS, Fedex, and USPS can have the same problems when it comes to bad/overworked/inconsiderate drivers. Governments just have to do better at holding companies accountable for the behavior of the drivers working on their behalf.
