the logical extension of that line of thinking is to divide into 2 nations, red & blue. personally I believe Huge gigantic nations are not very well suited to implement democracy. the problem is this needs to happen for all huge nations (i.e.. china & russia) otherwise you are concentrating too much power.
Yes, of course. Do you think that this expensive and complicated launch platform is built there because it could take place a bit offshore? And all the other launch facilities.
America wouldn’t be nearly as entrepreneurial without immigrants. Something like 50% of all unicorns currently have atleast one Indian immigrant co-founder. Four out of ten unicorns have first gen immigrant founders.

Problem here is not an AI generated photo. Problem is contest in art in general.

How can anyone objectively judge art when we cannot even give it basic definition? What is art? What is beauty? Does it have to beautiful? Etc.

I find contest in art (including music) demotivating. It basically waste time for anyone who not win and it subjectivly says what is good and what is not good enough. I find it even toxic for creativity iself. If you create for promoting yourself or to win contest, is it still art?
The question isn't whether there are rights guaranteed by law. It's whether or not those laws are actually applied. That's why it's national news that Amazon was found to have violated labor laws... in a single warehouse in New York.[1]

And that's before we get into intentional understaffing and industry capture of the US Department of Labor.

This is a significant reduction in Chicago, but I don’t think the Portland comparison works. The Chicago metro area is enormous and Walmarts can be found all over the suburbs, but the specific factors of geography and no-car living among city dwellers (especially low income) mean that this isn’t just a matter of driving a few more miles down the road.

If you’re living in a city neighborhood, those suburban locations might as well not exist. And because of the small businesses driven out when Walmart first entered the scene, the impact is potentially large, and will disproportionately impact those who are least prepared to deal with it.

I hope this causes a resurgence of small businesses, but I don’t think going back will be so easy.

ah, the final efficiency - wages become low enough that it's more attractive to blatantly exploit the system rather than play along.

Yeah I should probably say private sector.

However if government pensions did go belly up you’d see the use of QE, which will cause inflation, at which point they are still giving you the promised thousands a month but they aren’t enough to live on, and fuck everyone else over at the same time.
A question for Indian friends in the thread.

Are you able to distinguish caste (at least somewhat reliably) by looking at someone?

Not just physical characteristics - but style of dress, mannerisms, speech patterns, etc?

In America, it is often easy to tell Democrats and Republicans (at least, the very-strongly entrenched ones) apart based on dress and/or the way they talk.

After living in East Asia for a decade - when traveling through Asian airports I am often able to tell Chinese, Korean and Japanese people apart from a distance based on a variety of indicators (I'll guess where they are from and then hear their language as they approach - often I'm right).

Are castes like this? If you saw someone walking 50 meters away, would you (more often than not, at least) be able to correctly guess what caste they belong to?

Once around the planet in low earth orbit is about 90 minutes. This is just how long these things take. In other words it would be difficult for a suborbital flight around the planet from Texas to Hawaii to take anything other than about 90 minutes.
> The obvious downside of this decision is that nuclear generation that has been shut down is replaced by coal and gas.

This is patently false.

Isar plants were built in the 70s. Back then Germany's share of renewable energy sources was residual. Since then, Germany started shutting off nuclear and currently over 40% of it's energy needs are met with renewable energy sources.

The only way to claim that Germany is replacing nuclear with coal and gas is if you opt to go the disingenuous route and claim that some coal and gas power plants went online while nuclear plants were being shut down.

> Also it's not a given that the renewable strategy will succeed.

What? Supplying nearly half of a country's energy needs is now a sign of failure?
I assumed it was a joke based on the phrase "close to the metal" (zero-cost abstractions allowing high-level features without sacrificing performance). Nothing is closer to metal than an oxidation layer.
주세요 doesn’t actually mean “please”. It’s just the conjugated version of “to give”.

So it’s more like saying “beer, one, give me” in a polite way. And it’s cool, not because of the English translation (which yes, is just as simple), but as a showcasing of the composability of Korean.

Replace 주세요 (joo-se-yo) with any other verb and the sentence works.

For example, 마시다 (ma-si-da) is the verb[0] for “to drink”, so when you drop the “da” and conjugate it with the polite present tense “yo”, the sentence now becomes 맥주 한잔 마시요, or “I’m drinking a beer”.

And then as another show of Korean’s flexibility, don’t change anything about that sentence, but add a question mark and “맥주 한잔 마시?” For it to mean “would you like a beer?”.

Very cool and succinct.

[0]- you can identify Korean verbs because they all end in 다 (da). You can easily conjugate them to present tense by dropping the “da” and replacing it with “yo”. You’ll also notice that each block of characters in Korean maps to exactly one syllable, with no exceptions — pretty cool!

What's up with the launch times in the article?

> scheduled to launch ... no earlier than Monday at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT). It will be 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) local time.

Looking at other websites the correct time is 8 EDT, 7 CDT, 1200 GMT.

I'm not sure how I'm answering my own question, or how the question I was replying to is about mesh VPNs at all, I'm replying to "hub and spoke VPNs are slow".

I'm just saying: It's not that simple.

But, to clarify, when you say "relay node", are you talking VPN traffic relays (DERP nodes in tailscale parlance) or relays to the public Internet (exit nodes in tailscale parlance)?

If the former, tailscale goes out of it's way to avoid the DERP servers and instead route traffic directly between the nodes (hence the "mesh"), so it doesn't gain the benefits of hub and spoke that I was speaking about, unless the src/dst nodes can't directly communicate.

If the latter, I don't know of any mesh that has smarts about optimizing the reachability to the public Internet and shifting traffic between exit nodes to get better reachability.

Can you mention a VPN that has the abilities you are speaking about, because I'm not aware of one, unless you somehow did something like integrating BGP into the exit node selection combined with something like a InterNAP traffic optimization appliance.
There's that and there is the simple fact that children are now expected to live so there isn't as much need for 'redundancy' to put it bluntly. Up to my grandparents generation it wasn't rare at all to lose one or more children.
Most of those are not skeptical that starship can work. Lots of doubt around the specific claims for the amount that it can drop launch costs by, launch cadence, first launch time frame (which was correct in it's prediction of no 2022 launch), but not really much actual doubt that SpaceX can successfully launch starship.
> conflating the well known scalability issues with the number of concurrent connections to PostgreSQL with the number of defined roles.

They are related in some way, since a connection is tied to a user, you will need to open a connection for every active user.

That means solutions like pgbouncer that pools connections might not work as well than your typical app where most connections are interchangeable.
COM (Component Object Model) is compatible with C. It's still obviously C++ code being shoehorned into C by explicitly declaring the layout of the object (VTable member), but it does work. You get inheritance that way, and inter-module compatible cleanup. The downside is so much boilerplate code to declare the object, and the performance cost of virtual calls.

You don't necessarily need the complete COM system. For example, you could remove use of the Windows Registry, use of IDL files, remove the `QueryInterface` method, remove the use of GUIDs, remove the class factories (when just a simple 'create' function would do), remove Windows API functions related to cross-module memory management (not using `CoTaskAlloc`). Then it would be portable to systems that aren't Windows. One thing you can't remove is specifying a calling convention for the class methods, because C++ `__thiscall` is not compatible with C code on Windows.
Yep. I live in Canada and it just feels like our economic successes are due to natural resources and being close in location and culture to America.

Why not spend 20 seconds and GOOGLE it and find out for yourself.

what changed? The laws around prosecuting shoplifters:

"Previously, if you were charged with theft or retail theft, and the value of the item or items taken was over $300 you could be charged with a class 4 felony. A class 4 felony carries with it a penalty of between 1-3 years in prison. The new statute has raised the value of the item to $500."

There are basically 3 ways. You declare your residency and your income to the government of CA. They could ask you for tax documents or permission to retrieve such. They could ask you for your pay-stubs or bank records of deposit. Alternatively credit reporting agencies have access to way more of your personal life than you might imagine including your income and one of the services they sell to business is looking up income.

If you lie its incredibly trivial to put together the pieces and you have committed fraud by lying to obtain a benefit. Notably you aren't getting all your electricity for that figure just different fixed costs to go along with cost per kwh so there isn't that much benefit to lying to obtain. It's like risking jail time to obtain a relatively trivial amount of money.
>The party one should be angry about here is the browser, which provides little to no tools to show the user what is going on

Wait, what? The browser is the single best platform in existence for showing people what is going on behind the scenes - hit F12 and enjoy. Very few other software projects give users these kinds of tools, available at runtime.

But if you refuse to use software because of religious reasons, you may not be aware of this.
Cars aren't more efficient per passenger mile/km and I don't think cars will replace airplanes. I just think that long distance travel in general will end up to have been a temporary aberration, unless you have a lot of time and money.
The exception I've found for flights is that sometimes the OTAs can setup selling-airline and codeshare combinations that would be impossible to do direct. e.g. an airline won't book flights on its own metal through its codeshare partners. Maybe I could call in and get it, but that's a hunt I don't wish to do.

Had a flight on all American Airlines metal that the OTA purchased through Iberian airlines on a mix of AA bookings and Finnair codeshares. The flight did not touch Finland or Spain.
No it really can't. It's somewhat hard to explain without going hard into grammar but if someone tried complex communication in English, how you would in Korean, communication would break down very quickly.

In Korean, Plural markers basically don't exist, Articles don't exist and possessive determiners are very few and only typically inserted when determining the meaning would be difficult otherwise.

Strictly speaking 친구 있어요 ? means Friend Have ?

And you would say exactly that for any of these English equivalents

"Do they have friends ?"

"Do you have a friend ?"

"Do you have friends ?"

"Does he have a friend ?"

And so on.

If you wanted to say,

"I have a friend"

"He has friends"

"They have a friend" etc, you'd simply remove the question mark and change the tone of the last syllable (when speaking).

친구 있어요.

The exact meaning would have to be divided from surrounding context.

Lots of composability that simply doesn't exist in English.

I'm not sure we're all using the same definition of contractor then? For the exact same type of work?

Contract work virtually always pays much more than full-time on an hourly basis, since now you've got to cover your own health care, social security, and so forth. And then on top of that you're charging more because there's no security.

The whole exchange you make for full-time employment is to be paid less than short-term contracts, in exchange for greater stability.

You can't just dismiss the suffering of one group because it is worse somewhere else. Even if it is much, much worse. It isn't a race to the bottom or a game where we should tell people their problems don't matter because "it could be worse" and it can be dealt with.

There are huge swathes of people that simply don't have the opportunity. More so in other countries, yes, but there is a great deal of it in the USA too. More than is acceptable.
Beyond the TOS nobody reads (not even sellers), this sort of difference might be due to a number of factors. It could well be that they provide rooms discounted to Booking.com because they want to fill a certain amount no matter what, and then do price-anchoring for other rooms on their website. This is more or less like them giving rooms massively discounted to package sellers (Thomas Cook etc).
I confess of my guilt in this respect. When I am fortunate enough to sit in a higher class or board early I can't help but feel a little smug about it. On an airplane, dignity has a price...

> This was not a "knee-jerk" reaction, nor was it an attempt to spread fear or cause panic. While the document the foundation drafted did lead to the fork, we believe it is an overdue solution to a problem that already existed, and addresses some issues that many community members have had for some time.

This is obviously very knee-jerk and will either die or end up creating the same bureaucracy that Rust has. People love to complain about bureaucracy without understanding it exists for many reasons. The Rust teams are far more equipped to handle the development of Rust than anyone entertaining this fork (unless, of course, a significant number of members of the Rust teams decide to move over).
So here comes the in-fighting. Looks like someone listened to the call to action to fork the language [0] and just did that to their 'beloved' language.

Again, the moment the Rust Foundation chose to be a 501(c)(6) it was all going to go downhill from there as I and others have warned about this [1] years before.

There is a good reason why other language foundations like Python Software Foundation, NumFocus (Julia lang), D Language Foundation, Zig Software Foundation, R Foundation, etc, are 501(c)(3).

I've had a lot of ideas for cross-language libraries that would need a C API, and this issue always comes up. The idea I had several years ago---but never implemented, because most of the projects I'd use this for are in limbo because I never seem to finish anything---is an API with only one function, which takes JSON and returns JSON, possibly via JSON-RPC. Basically a library that pretends it's a remote service. Slow, yes, but not as slow as some alternatives, and it makes FFI setup with other languages easy.
Well I can tell you about my current use case. I've been using GPT4 and recently phind.com this week to teach me Go and use it in a project I just started, no knowledge at all about the language at the very beginning. In just 7 days, developing in my spare time (apart from family, my work etc) I already have like the 20-30% of the project already done... I've been doing a mix of Googling and AI use, and I have a very clear idea on my mind that both things have a very specific use case and particularly AI, whenever I found it useful (a concrete but complex problem at the same time) has been beyond amazing... one day I even felt emotional, never in all the decades I've been programing I've felt I received so much help.

Using the wrong register is a form of humor as well just like in English and other languages but with different impact due to the politeness level being so important to the syntactic structure just like in Japanese. Being overly polite or using too low of a register works much better than sarcasm for comedic purposes for reasons I can’t quite explain. In English sarcasm is commonly how I joke around and involves an intonation cue but it doesn’t really work in Korean even with intonation (possibly because intonation and vowel lengthening is used for a lot of word distinction perhaps although homonyms exist in basically all languages) and if you try it native speakers will oftentimes have trouble telling if you’re serious or not. Although these days due to Western influences IMO most Koreans understand sarcasm as a style of humor and can apply it for all languages although for older generations it’s going to be less natural. The country’s had massive, massive social and economic changes in the past 100 years, it’s kind of wild
