During WWII, in the place least impacted (USA) there were substantial, government imposed interruptions to daily life and business: government mandates on production, rationing, a military draft, curfews, the literal internment of Japanese Americans.

Of course, these interruption were tiny compared to those of life in England or France or other battlefields of the the war. There’s an entire genre of literature and film devoted to lives ripped apart by the interruption of World War II.

The lesson of WWII isn’t that we never need to impose individual sacrifice, but rather that the preservation of our liberty requires deep collective sacrifice on occasion, and to work to protect it not just for ourselves but for our friends who by virtue of luck are in a worse situation than we are.
UI designers had done worse stuff today with flat themes.

Once flying into NYC after passing over the end of the runway to land the plane pulled up super hard back into cursing altitude for landing. Once we leveled off, pilot came on to say, “Sorry about that folks, there was a plane taking off.” - Guess I always assumed this was a common issue.
Everything I've read about the lock-step approach is that it is a total nightmare to develop - keeping games deterministic is really hard and a de-sync bug that happens out the blue after 1 hour of 4-player multiplayer is the kind of thing that is extremely difficult to get to the bottom of. Streaming everything is by comparison much easier to develop in my view since that class of problems disappears. It also allows late-joining, including spectators, as it syncs the full state of the game periodically, and it makes it resistant to brief network outages, such as going through a tunnel on a train while on cell data.

I think it's also worth sometimes revisiting the assumptions made for the current algorithms and approaches in use. The original design was for dial-up modems. The networking landscape is completely different now. Maybe some of the original assumptions are no longer valid and a different set of tradeoffs is worthwhile.
> ... can buy any meal at any restaurant I want and I never care about the price. It’s a glorious feeling. I eat whatever I want.

This. Not quite there yet, but still have a decent selection of restaurants where I do not have to look at the right-margin. It is truly a sense of freedom one can only experience in hindsight (not consciously while looking at the menu).

Good for OP.
HP-UX is kind of an interesting tale in that it's always been underrepresented in the enthusiast community, perhaps because HPE never tried to put up hpux on intanium as an alternative to Linux on proliant, or maybe because it's core market seems to have been in the manufacturing sector where it supplanted hp3000 minicomputers and ran boring logistics software and factory control systems and never really made it big in education, research nor web hosting.

by 2004 HPUX was actually pulling off an successful migration from PA-Risc to Itanium and it lived on profitable for over a decade after that until HPE finally published an Roadmap for when they were going to end HPUX development which is currently scheduled to happen around 2025/26 with the last new itanium systems sold around 2018.

Irix was killed off by windows around the time the pc industry up with SGI's graphics capabilities. And i cant recall what happened to digital's true64(but it never really survived the merger of DEC into first Compaq and then HP).

a) Education on the importance of privacy in a democratic nation on its stability and survival.

b) Political Accountability. Actually have people removed from office that support such approaches.

c) Have actual felony penalties on such violations by the NSA and anyone assisting in coverups with no statute of limitations (or statute starts after declassification).

d) Blanket civil and criminal immunity for whistleblowers related to above violations. Plus financial bounty.

e) Automate the declassification process. (Add checks extra here.)

f) Introduce an Independent Counter-Surveillance and Privacy Agency. (Similar agencies exist in other countries.) It should have the ability to oversee the de-classification process, act as a check and balance on the N.S.A; its sole mandate to protect the privacy and data of inhabitants of the U.S.A. and U.S. nationals.

N.B. The necessity of such an agency becomes even more paramount for the U.S. now that individuals' social network data lie abroad and contemporary issues go beyond the jurisdiction of the FBI.
AMO does not require a manual review nor the extension to be uploaded publicly. You can sign it through their site and then distribute it elsewhere.

That's awesome - the network's solution is essentially to convert the input to analog, perform the actual addition in analog, and then convert that back to digital. And the first two parts of that all happened in the input weights, no less.

I really liked From Dust. It seemed impressive what could be done on the 360 at the time, and I'd really like to see it with a higher-res, larger scale simulation on some more modern hardware.
Real-world RiiR efforts generally start with smallish, security-critical modules within larger code bases. It's not a full rewrite from scratch, you can replace C/C++ with Rust even at the level of a single function.

Will the battery pack last those 10 years while maintaining a significant fraction of its capacity? Otherwise the cost of a swap has to be factored in - there’s no direct counterpart in the ICE car.

EV’s look fine for the daily or weekly drives we do. The problem of long haul/freeway worries me re recharging availability and time, and unless battery swapping is possible getting stuck without power will be a bother - can’t carry a couple gallons of electrons.

I made no suggestion of a term that ended on the author's death in my previous post. I was simply pointing out that even a span of 20 years is a significant proportion of the period we expect someone to be a productive member of society. I believe it reasonable to require that someone competes with others at least three times in their working life.

Although, now that you've brought it up, 10 years with expiry on death of the author sounds fantastic. Authors are incentivised to create new works and companies are incentivised to purchase them. A balance must be struck between rewarding individuals for their work and preventing corporations from monopolising cultural touchstones.

I feel like you're overestimating the financial longevity of the overwhelming majority of works. Most are forgotten about a few years after their release. The ones that aren't will typically have made more than enough money for the author to live lavishly for the rest of their life.

> The extra value realized by a term of 70 years versus 56 (the 1909 number) is, in significant part, realized during the author's lifetime. It gives them something more valuable to sell.

I sincerely doubt that for the vast majority of works publishers are signing contracts based on anything other than how much they think it'll sell in the first year at most. Given that authors struggle to be paid at all unless they've already found massive commercial success, it seems obvious that the only party benefiting from longer copyright terms is the company.

There seems to be a belief that the expiry of the copyright period precludes the author from monetising the work further, whereas it simply means they will begin to compete with others for that monetisation. With a 10+ year head start and humans typically preferring to reward the original creator they should do okay for themselves.

Our current intellectual property regime is fundamentally opposed to how human culture has developed and progressed. It's difficult to imagine how barren a world we'd live in if our predecessors had sought to limit any retelling of a story that wasn't approved by the original author. It's a condemnation of our society that the retelling of many of these stories has been criminalised by a company that found much of it's success in retelling the very same.

I have heard the same said about church services, and if you think about it they are similar. And there are more women in church possibly as a result.
You write as if you assumed that people back then did not care for aesthetics at all. But they did, quite a lot actually. Those designers just happened to be lucky to be working in an era when any novelty desires they or anyone in the audience had could be perfectly satisfied just by using the possibilities of then-latest technology. Very much unlike these days, inn which novelty is limited to details and subtleties unless they force it in destructive ways. Which apparently "they" really like to do, and get the reaction they deserve.

I think simulators like these are cool, and there is clearly an audience for it. Maybe, instead of simulating more stuff (rainfall, biomes, lava) you can go deeper into simulation you're already doing. To sell a game like this people need to be blown away by something, and that happens when you do one thing extremely well.

Maybe think of the experience you want the player to have and then work backwards from that?

> Frugality inertia: a lifetime of good savings habits can’t be transitioned to a spending phase

I think a lot of financial planners start from a base assumption that their clients will be happiest if they spend their accumulated wealth. That’s not true in my case (at least as far as I can self-analyze).

Whatever we don’t spend isn’t lost potential for us, but rather is future potential for our kids. Taking only the financial sorts of potential, some of that is embodied potential (money spent on education and health); others are concrete figures on finance statements.

We could spend more and seek to “have the check to the undertaker bounce”, but it’s a lot less stressful to my mind to have a low 7-figure balance be the much more likely ending net-worth, giving us a cushion for our later years and knowing that’s enough to be helpful but likely not enough to be detrimental to our kids.

Tunnel vision looking for texty stuff and any relevant pics. (Note: sometimes an outstanding ad pic might distract me for a few seconds ;) ) For the BS that's often deliberately obfuscated and not pure talent, I use link extractor for a list to see if there's a working button or whatever other thing they've borked. Often I'll use book mode ... and for the sneaky sites that claim to have a book mode version, but instead like to punch up something else, I haven't quite got around scripting anything to automatically drop the site's address in the disallow pile, I enjoy creative commentary too much even if it's for myself.

I will ignore the site, if it has camouflaged their content with the ads, only if it's really important might I search for the original text that landed me there ... more often than not, no it's not there - BS search result and BS site.

I like your analogy. I got a shed myself and I like working on my bikes. Got loads of tools and it is so relaxing and satisfactory finding the tools you need at exactly the same place you left them. When my brother and me were living together, I would get furious when he would leave tools somewhere else (and vice versa) so I feel the pain.

Thinking a bit about this though, say Microsoft could argue that the toolshed isn't really yours. That you're merely renting/"licensing" it and they reserve the right to rearrange their tools at a whim, and they usually won't touch tools you own. I don't know how to counter-argue this though.

I suppose you’re referring to the Neutron Music Player app?

I never heard of it and though it was a hardware player competing with the Walkman, but it’s another android music player from the look of it. I still checked the app page in case they went for completely different playing controls to compensate for the physical buttons and playing widget, but it seems it mainly focuses on EQ tweaking and “high fidelity” playback.

I’m all for alternative players on the market, so more power to them. But I’m probably not their target audience.
The dryness of Australia comes from the fact that current bring cold Antarctic water up to its west coast which leads to dry winds that blow eastward, which compounds with the complete lack of any mountain ranges to serve as rain shields to leave most of the continent dry. Even the mountains in the east of the continent are barely high enough to form a rain shield, if they were even a bit smaller then the east coast would be as dry as the rest of the continent.

Moist tropical air barely reaches the very top of Australia - instead it hits places like Java, where the abundant rainfall and numerous active volcanoes provide ridiculously fertile land that currently supports 150 million people - 5x that of Australia - despite being 50 times smaller.
If you leave it in front of your property next to the trash can without a pricetag then yes it absolutely is. Because people rightfully assume you are giving stuff away.

Trying to skip over the admin to fix this missconfiguration and going straight to the lawyer is the attempt to externalize costs. Which is where the lack of compassion comes in. This is a shitty thing to do.

This is not a lawyer problem, nobody broke in, nobody took anything. You are giving stuff away. Go talk to an admin on how to only give your toaster to the people that you want to give it to.
