This article fails to follow up its theoretical assertions with any data about how much spending is done on new, infrastructure, maintenance, or the split between federal, state, and local governments currently. I assume there’s some context missing, but it’s clearly part of a very specific political agenda that I’m not familiar with. I can’t even tell if I support it or not since the article itself is so vague. Most “infrastructure” spending these days is on maintenance of roads, true enough. Not sure if they are in favor of that or against it. Do they want more bridges or repaired bridges? Do they want local governments to own maintenance of local infrastructure? Do they think we have too much or too little “infrastructure”? Are we building the right or wrong kind of “infrastructure”? Is there a “right” kind? I can’t tell what they think.
Can't be just "a cell wall", because then your antibiotic will, true to its name, end up breaking anything with a cell wall.

So an effective antibiotic of this kind will handle a particular subset of cell walls, with particular properties, so it kills the pathogens without messing the patient up too much. That "subset" and "particular properties" is exactly the terrain in which evolutionary battles are fought. There is some corner of the configuration space your antibiotic is targeting, one that is reachable by the pathogen just through random mutations. Eventually, given enough chances to try, it'll find its way there.

"Doors and corners, kid. That's where they get you."
Good third party support but crucially EA didn't want to release sports games on it, reportedly because of SEGA's first-party efforts here.
Not OP, but that sounds unnecessarily harsh. FreeCAD is much more approachable now than it was few years ago. It's definitely far from perfect, but it's getting substantially better and we should collectively encourage that.

I also realized during that time that my distro was doing a poor job at packaging it to make it work as designed (and I can't fault the packagers for that, it's a highly specialized/niche application after all). The flatpak version seem much more cohesive.

If one thing, I'm amazed by how much one can accomplish with FreeCAD given a little patience and perseverance: it brings parametric CAD, drawing projections FEM… to the masses, which, when I was learning that stuff as part of my curriculum, was completely out of reach of most universities, let alone the hobbyist scene.

It's an under-appreciated, fundamental, piece of software if you ask me.

> the responsibility of meeting the deadline - or the risk and consequences of failing to meet the deadline, are the responsibility of the employer/client's business, and are not the responsibility of the individual employee or contractor.

I don't disagree with the ethics of what you said, but it seems like the trickiness of this situation is that in many/most cases, the developer doing the work is the one giving the employer the initial estimate for how long something might take. This is a bit tricky because the employer is put in a bad situation because of the incorrect estimate from the developer.
This is such a valid point. I've experienced it myself. When you're on a team, after some time team members start developing shared biases. It's enough that some previous discussion was railroaded certain way to make it harder for the team members to think outside of the box shaped by previous conversations.

Ignoring the question of who is actually doing something wrong and the fact that most customers on lower tiers wouldn't even be able to get most of the presented information, it seems absurd to me that a customer on an Enterprise plan that costs thousands of dollars a month can't get a simple "this is why those requests trigger the firewall" answer from CloudFlare. The diff between the request that passed and the one that triggered the rule is simple enough and the WAF is not some opaque AI I hope.

Why can't the triggering request be replayed through the WAF with output that shows the scores for each bit?

In the U.S. I frequently see dumpsters meant for store/office employee use locked, and the reason is always noted to prevent randoms from throwing their trash in there. They’re usually hauled away less frequently than residential trash cans and they don’t want it to fill up with bicycles, furniture, broken appliances, etc.

Sure - again I'm a layperson so take this with a grain of salt but in USA the Sarbanes-Oxley act[1], one of the pieces of fallout from Enron and other corporate scandals, has various requirements for accurate and fulsome reporting of information to investors in mandated financial documents, earnings reports and SEC filings and whatnot, for publicly traded companies. Basically don't do Enron.

One penalty involved is personal criminal liability for executives - for certain executive roles, if they unknowingly make a serious mistake, they face a $1 million dollar fine and up to 10 years in prison, and if they knowingly make a serious mistake, it's $5 million and 20 years. [2]

Hence, executives have a strong motivation to ensure nothing is misrepresented, left out, or wrong in their investor relations documents.

This is bound to get you banned. I would do it a little bit more clever (with lower bitrate/throughput/storage sizes)...

Encode the data inside audio, preferrably outside human audible range, and then use a nice video of singing birds, or whales talking, and use the "hidden" frequencies to hide the data.

I don't know if Youtube has any filters that cut out frequencies, but this way they can't ban you, since you've uploaded a really nice personal video of your singing birds, instead of the conspicuous looking QR-like codes as in the OP ;-)

Well, yes the question is about a theoretical WW3 and what people should stock up on to prepare. The morality of WW3 is a separate question in its own right.

But I don't see a blockade as the "initiation" of WW3. I see it as the meat and potatoes of the war. The middle and end. Enforced at choke points and open waters far from the mainland. With neither side even considering a land invasion of the other. An ocean war with small fights, flying drones, under water drones, etc.

I’m a little confused by this because I don’t know if it’s possible to measure biases and proclaim that someone is more biased than the other. One of the things that comes to mind is that one person may have weakly held or strongly held bias (maybe differentiating being biased to being bigoted?). How do you compare multiple weakly held biases vs one very strongly held one? How do you count biases when you yourself are also biased and therefore will very likely undercount any biases aligning with your own?

The 4x size increase is my biggest concern...too bloaty.
This article asks fascinating questions and then answers them in a bizarre way.

For starters, the confounding variable among many of these folks is being rich. Simply being rich increases one’s odds of doing something remarkable because one need devote less time to the daily work of being human.

But also, there is no explanatory power here. To say “Woolf grew up homeschooled and alone” does not explain why she was special and her sister was not. I too grew up homeschooled and was often alone and got to see many other children in the same situation. Many of them struggle in adulthood. Today, my capacity for aloneness is much higher than most, but I am probably not in danger of writing a classic novel.

Again, interesting questions; dubious answers.

Of course, but its an absolute pain when you switch jobs/insurers or move and have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get prescribed the drugs you need to get through those bunches of hoops.
I'm a big fan of theirs. They want less car infrastructure. They argue, among other things, that it is inherently not maintainable because it's maintenance is too costly for the level of density it encourages to sustain.

They prefer more housing density and transit options so infrastructure investments are more sustainable.
Historical context is important to take into account with Newton. He had no idea he was doing "science" as opposed to something else. He was trying to systematically investigate the natural world in an environment largely composed of ignorance and myth, which he was also part of. Wasn't alchemy simply chemistry before chemistry had been developed into a well-defined field of study? His obsession with the dimensions of Solomon's temple is a little hard to understand though!

Chroma is lossier than luma in most common video codecs. AVC is 4:2:0 on YouTube. 4:2:0, quite confusingly, means that chroma is halved in both dimensions compared to luma (so one chroma pixel is congruent with four luma pixels). As well, most decoders will apply filtering on the chroma to upsample it to match the luma, meaning that your color boundaries are going to be indistinct at best, and you might even lose the original chroma values entirely in the process. You'd have to use multiple chroma pixels as one metapixel in order to increase resilience, which would diminish the capacity. With modern codecs, a monochrome signal seems better to use for actual data, although I could see it being useful to use chroma for metadata.
I think the reasoning is something like, when I buy a car, I don't base the price I'll pay on the cost of the raw materials.

It also lets them craft a minimal price deal, and do things like split out different shareholders based on what they'll likely accept.

Not particular to the cap table, but the same with the financials here. If gitlab sees they have only one month's runway, why wouldn't they lowball?

Generally speaking, if gitlab sees 40 million in revenue potential, shouldn't that be how they craft what they offer?

There's probably a distinction here between "selling" your business, and "being acquired."
Have you considered France? According to your examples, it would be like a sort of middle point between Spain and Switzerland. You'd have a well-functioning welfare state, good education, free and open universities (the students of top-tier schools even receive a salary if they manage to get in). The only thing that I dislike is that Paris proper is quite stressing, due to crazy traffic, nervous people, etc. But there are very nice accessible neighborhoods just a few minutes off the center.

A reminder how companies simply do not care and there is no such thing as 'we're a family' in these companies, given that they can just do layoffs at any time.

This should be a turning point for all since the low-interest rate and VC fuelled tech mania of the last decade won't go on or last forever and that the party is now over.

Happiness is indeed a vague term. In the context of parenting, I would hope to foster self-esteem, an internal locus of evaluation, curiosity, and courage. These provide a solid foundation for general contentment, aside from the occasional inevitable traumas and trials of life.

I would say Strong Towns believes that infrastructure in American cities is unsustainable. In particular the "commercial strip" architecture and many suburban developments don't generate enough tax revenue to pay for the infrastructure that supports them.

They are not against infrastructure development but they are against unprofitable infrastructure development and they see "infrastructure for the sake of infrastructure" not as something that will lift people out of poverty but as something that will keep people poor.

The Bitter End of “Content”
Money can improve happiness, but there are diminishing returns to money. Winning the lottery is really one of the worst possible ways to improve one's happiness. For example:

1) Wanting to be ultra-wealthy is arguably a vice rather than a virtue. A form of gluttony. It doesn't make you a better person.

2) Hardly anyone is prepared for the massive, sudden change in lifestyle brought by winning the lottery. Not to mention that everyone you ever knew, and also people you never knew, suddenly want a piece of you and your newfound money.

We talk a lot about big lottery winners, because it's fun to imagine, but it would honestly be better for most people to win $10K or $100K rather than winning $10M or $100M. You can improve their lives without radically changing their lives, which can be a curse rather than a blessing.

Unless you already have a very specific idea of what you would do with lottery winnings, e.g., start a business or foundation that required $X million in capital, a newfound giant pile of unanticipated money doesn't necessarily do you good. Money needs a purpose.
In the article, the author disables the WAF only for Stripe outbound IPs, which can be presumed to be safe (unless Stripe's machines/IP space gets hacked). The WAF still works for traffic from all other IPs

> The Netherlands are in the top percentile of every quality of life metric except for weather.

I’m not going to say it’s bad because on average it isn’t, but this is patently untrue. The Dutch housing market is one of the worst in the world, and doubly so if you don’t speak Dutch or are on a budget. Double whammy for international students.

The healthcare system is... let me put it this way. As an Indian, I’d rather be in the Netherlands if there was a critical medical condition. You’re not actively suicidal or dying in the next 24 hours? Excellent, join the seven month waitlist for getting medical help. Or become suicidal enough to go to the ER, and then back to the waitlist you go!

In India (and what I’ve seen/heard of UK/US private healthcare) you can get faster treatment if you can pay. Nothing of that sort here haha.

(I should probably add that Germany and Belgium have similar issues from what I’ve heard, though that doesn’t excuse the Netherlands.)
From the information given, bad Cloudflare. These kinds of content-matching rules should be triggering deterministically, and testable in a hermetic test environment. They also have sample payloads that get blocked vs. ones that gets through, despite being essentially identical. It should be about as easy to debug as it gets.

That it's tricky to debug suggests there's something totally different just badly understood rules. Maybe a server with a hardware fault that's making it return bogus results (though that should be easy to find in monitoring), maybe some kind of race condition, or running of different rules in parallel + having global or request-scoped state such that the order in which the rules finish running matters.
As you may have realized, basic corporate finance is not that hard. It's totally doable for tech founders to learn by doing -- and savvy investors presumably give them sound advice and make sure they're on the right track. They'll also usually get somebody with business/finance experience to join if/once the product gains traction. The value founders provide is usually bearing the risk and effort in developing the "new product", while anyone with a MBA can deal with the business/finance side of things if needed, so the latter might be viewed more as a commodity.

But then, as we've seen in the FTX fiasco, some investors really just throw money around without any due diligence.

Would you want today's politically appointed Supreme Court justices interpreting the Constitution? There's no difference.

From the article: "The Supreme Court created qualified immunity out of thin air in 1967, just six years after the Court first recognized that people could sue police officers and other government officials for violating their constitutional rights."

Having said that, a new American revolution that abolishes the Constitution would also presumably, hopefully get rid of today's politicians too.
