The US had two fraudulent wars, separated by several decades, before the MID became a thing after WWII. The first was the Mexican-American War, where President Polk ordered US troops into disputed territory between Texas and Mexico. When the Mexican Army attacked the US Army for a violation of Mexico's sovereignty from their perspective, Polk informed Congress that US troops were attacked without provocation. Polk did this to fulfill campaign promises and admit some other state as a free state to counterbalance slave state Texas in the Senate.

The Spanish-American War was likewise begun under suspicious circumstances, but it was the first fueled mainly by the press.

The US also engaged in pointless wars like WWI and unjust wars like the Indian Wars following the Civil War.

"War is a racket" sounds interesting, so I'd be curious to read the arguments. Maybe my interpretation is wrong or incomplete! I do think there was a significant shift from wars being perpetrated by elected officials seeking political ends to wars being largely planned and executed by the MID (and the press), with the elected leaders dragged along like the tail wagging a dog.
I think it just happens in this case that the pie-maximizing-in-cooperative-state behaviour == not duplicating mining efforts == China favoring.

An opposite argument could be make for semiconductors. In that case, the environmental approach is to NOT make multiple fabs, keep them in Taiwan / the Netherlands, and discourage China from making new fabs. This would be against China.

Generally, the environmental position favors not duplicating effort, which favors the current incumbent.
That's an incredible story. How do you (and your mom) feel about it today? Do you wish you had taken the job? Does she?

The willy-nilly was in regard to Java and more precisely the ecosystem, not the language itself. In Java I find it hard to have N worker threads, where N is the number of CPU cores available, because many common libraries spawn threads - willy-nilly I'd say.

I have not enough experience about the Rust ecosystem but I hope it will successfully avoid a similar fate.
I heard recently (on Lex Fridman's podcast with Marc Andreessen) that Oppenheimer was called a "cry-baby scientist" by President Truman, and that his groveling campaign was considered by many to be self-aggrandizing, albeit in a self-deprecating way.

Apparently, his involvement was less significant than many others in the Manhattan Project, but his name became one of the most well-known due to his public outcries, and of course his iconic quote.

I haven't yet seen the movie and I'm looking forward to it; I wonder how much of this is portrayed.

Funny enough, I'm planning a double feature with Oppenheimer and the Barbie movie. Maintaining a healthy relationship involves tradeoffs.
They can, but that's less of an issue since other birds are not active at the same time.

> As users, federation protects us from [the service being killed or development frozen].

Honest question: Does it?

Personally, I worry significantly more about bit rot on projects that make no money. Does federation solve that somehow? What I'm usually looking for is: What is the incentive for people to keep working on this? Is it a passion project made by one or more young people? What happens to it when life happens to them, when they want to start families, etc.? Is it a prestige project from a wealthy person? I think this is less risky, but wealthy people get bored... Or is there reason to think they can get a decent amount of donation money like Wikipedia? This is probably best case scenario, but does it work for niches? I dunno.

Does federation overcome these challenges in a novel way?

The difference is that the authoritarian nature of the Democrats allows it to march on 5-6 platform planks exclusively. They publicly focus on a few policy areas, but the masses are riled up about a few social issues the rich people don’t really care about.

The Republican Party is a big tent party that lacks that discipline because of the nature of the coalition. California republicans aren’t voting for the party of religion, but are socially conservative, for example.

Retail politics isn’t a thinking man’s game, but liberalism by its nature is always going to be the more craven, irrespective of party.

He's implying that we should be more skeptical of articles from sources that have gotten basic science wrong in other articles.

It's not a liberal vs conservative thing per se. There are plenty of liberals and progressives who get basic science wrong. Liberals are more likely to reject nuclear power or GMO food for reasons that are not scientifically justifiable, for example [1]. Liberals have historically also been more likely to believe in medical nonsense like healing crystals and homeopathy and anti-vaccination.

The things liberals are more anti-science on though are also less likely to be the kind of things that require national or international solutions and so attract fewer think tanks.

Hence there is a better correlation between libertarian/conservative think tanks and scientifically unsound positions than there is between liberal/progressive think tanks and such positions.

[1] There is a decent argument against GMO food in places where food is abundant and cheap so avoiding GMO doesn't mean famine, but it has nothing to do with the science of GMO itself. It is that GMO gives food companies much more ability to customize and tweak foods in ways that are great for business but bad for public health. We already know when it comes to money vs health they go for money, which is a big contributor to rising obesity. They can still accomplish many of the same things without GMO that they would use GMO for but it is slower and more expensive which reduces the amount of harm they can do and gives more time to get regulations to catch up.
I didn't really think you were saying they should be used for everything, but I do think discouraging branching out into better suited tools perpetuates using the lowest common denominator.

Because it was a venture capital backed "bicycle+internet-of-shit". And this bankruptcy has reclaimed all these "shitty bicycles" as the company's property until when or if they send out firmware to permanently unlock them.

More likely, these assets will be sold to some other bottom-feeder.

All in all, point being: stay the hell away from any VC backed company peddling shit that ties you to their servers.

Edit: This is directly related to "Internet of Shit", with a phone-app that logs into their now dead servers, generates a rolling code, and then transmits the rolling code via bluetooth to the bike. This then unscrews the locking pin inside the frame and wheel. This could have been done OFFLINE, but they chose to tie it in their network, which makes these all de-facto company property.

Which part is difficult to understand? They use medical and scientific terminology, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.

It essentially covers the usage of macropod (kangaroo, specifically, of an enumerated variety) tendon and ligaments in a grafting procedure using "undisclosed" materials for compatibility. It then enumerates specific elasticity parameters before giving a description of the problem (background).

I’ve been using it for a couple years now, absolutely love it. I personally prefer it over Tailwind (and don’t feel like learning _another_ css framework) and, ngl, the “components” section of the page is a big reason for it.

When I started using it, if I needed a card or a list I could go to the components section and pick one, copy-paste it and then change it to my liking. When I tried the same in tailwind I was faced with a paywall and automatically lost all interest.

I don't see why the discussion would be limited to the Microsoft corporate world. They make the standard consumer desktop OS for the world and that's still the standard for PC gaming. Personally, I'm thrilled with where System76/Pop!_OS and Steam/Proton are these days, and that's what I use, but I think that's still far from mainstream. The Steam Deck is probably doing the most for Linux based gaming these days.

Even if you think about the corporate world, I'd imagine that there's a lot of CAD on Windows and maybe some 3D animation still? I'm not that familiar with those uses.
Hill starts with a clutch can be tricky for beginners, but they're not a big deal once you're comfortable. Left foot on the clutch, right foot on the brake. Start letting out the clutch until it just begins to engage, and transition the right foot over to the throttle and ease into it. The clutch will hold the car while you make the transition. A little slippage of the clutch, but nothing outside its normal operating parameters as long as it's done reasonably well.

I understand that our "Teams" plan has more functionality than neetoCal's paid plan but we do pay 16/20 USD (yearly/monthly) per month to Calendly. The savings would be significant.

And the only reason we pay for their Teams plan is that "Round Robin" events are only supported there.

I have zero loyalty to calendly because I feel they are too expensive and would switch to neetoCal in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, neetoCal only supports 1:1 and Round Robin meetings and not "collective" events: many:one or many:many meetings.
Perhaps a fast fourrier transform (FFT) with a simple classifier would be enough.

I'm with you here. I'll be bullish on federation when I understand what non-ideological problems it solves. I totally share the ideology! (And I get the sense that you do too.) But that's not enough. It needs to be useful to be durable.
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying but their bias isn’t just their ideology, the article itself is just false with bad math. They claim at the beginning the avian flu was more severe and wave hands at population growth to explain how 1.13m deaths in a 331m population is less severe than 0.116 deaths in a 159m population. No where do they quote the covid death toll, nor the actual populations at the time. This is presumably because they intend to mislead their readers with an overt falsehood. That is lying, and lends credence to such a stark bias they’re willing to directly lie to deceive their readers into believing their points. These were essentially the only actual facts quoted in the entire article.

That sorta makes them shitty.

> This really irks me because I know some people that are much, much smarter than they appear because they are a bit slower (and possibly less extrovert). In a 'just world' (which we clearly do not have) their chances would be at least equal. We seem to give speed simply too much weight.

Why do you think that would be the case? So long as there is value to be had from delivering a result faster, I would expect a correct solution delivered faster to be better than the same correct solution delivered more slowly.

It's like the classic "pick two" triangle of cheap, quick, or high quality. Of course we assign more weight to solutions that don't make us choose.
The problem is that Slack wants to charge for a Chat app the same amount that Microsoft or Google charge for Spreadsheet, Documents, Slides, Chat, Drive, etc.

The problem is that Slack is too expensive for what they do. If Slacks value proposition was as good as their price ask, that wouldn't happen, or would be much lesser.

You said it yourself: Slack is fairly expensive for what they do.
> “Sustainability, equity and security are all at risk in the rush to break China’s dominance over their production.”

Chinese dominance of rare earth production is not sustainable, either, using lax regulations to externalize environmental and health hazards: leaking radioactive residue (like thorium) and other toxic waste, polluting water sources (including the Yellow River), neglecting worker safety, and abusing human rights.[1]

> “China’s ascendancy is the result of forward thinking by the country’s leadership”

One forward thinking of China is to move its operation through its state-owned enterprises to Africa, contaminating outside communities instead.[1]

It's fun to think about though.

OpenLibrary is a treasure.

I have a half-finished project that scans barcodes with the webcam, looks up the information in openlibrary, speaks the tile out-loud and records the output to a file that tellico can import.

Some people might note that tellico can take a list of ISBNs on input, so the extra step of OL lookup seems redundant. A lot of bookstores put their own barcodes (sometimes over the ISBN) and there can be namespace collisions between those barcodes and the ISBN. Looking it up on OL and reading the name out loud lets you catch these issues when scanning. There's nothing worse than scanning hundreds of books and then having to go back through to find the dozen of them that scanned wrong; by reading out-loud the OL information, you can just set them aside immediately and enter the information manually later.
