> A $10k drone taking out a $2M tank seems like a good trade, even if it takes 10 drones to do it.

I certainly agree with that, but I'd like to caution you that sticker-price comparison is very limited, it papers over a ton of very important details and can lead you completely astray.

For instance, suppose you use $10k of ammunition to shoot down a $100 mortar shell; the sticker-price analysis says that's a bad trade, but what about the context? What if the mortar shell would have otherwise landed on equipment or personnel valued in millions of dollars? With that context, it's clear that it was actually a very good trade. That's just scratching the surface though, what if one side has is backed by strong economies and can afford $10k more than the other side can afford $100? What if one side has huge stockpiles and the other doesn't? What if the war is going to be over in hours and so attrition warfare simply isn't relevant? The whole context of the exchange must be considered.
> Truck bought to haul 2 bags of groceries is not. Tax the second one.

How do you do this without taxing the first one?

If someone buys a truck to haul building materials to a building site, they are understandably not going to buy a separate vehicle just to haul 2 bags of groceries. But then how do you know what anybody is using it for the rest of the time? The list of legitimate purposes is unlimited. You're a homeowner who is into gardening and always bringing home mulch and saplings and renting landscaping equipment for projects. You're a retrocomputing enthusiast whose hobby requires you to be constantly transporting old mainframes. You're a parent who has to transport an entire junior varsity soccer team to practice every night.

How do you propose to distinguish any of these from someone who only buys a tank to carry home groceries?
This is expected from fossil fuel companies, but the involvement of people who portray themselves as "pro-nuclear" in this kind of thing is I think an admission that they are more "anti-renewable" than they are "pro-nuclear".

From their FAQ:

> SRWC and its members recognize industrial renewables cannot realistically power global economies and that other forms of energy are needed. We are still developing our position with regard to climate change, nuclear, and natural gas, as well as other technologies, like carbon capture and storage. Some of SRWC's members are pro-nuclear, others are pro-natural gas. For now, we are simply opposed to industrial offshore wind projects.
I'm pretty skeptical, but that's what research is for. I wish them luck though because if it does work it'll make a lot of people's lives easier.
> anti-piracy initiatives will be a priority of the European Commission’s Digital Single Market (DSM) policy

This article is unintentional satire. It’s promoting as if there were huge steps made towards making a digital single market, but they only further codified local and fragmented digital markets, for no other reason than filmmaker profit. And fighting piracy that arises as s consequence of their failure to actually create a single market is perplexingly both in scope of, and a priority for, the commission.
I have a right to do anything I want as long as my actions don't harm anyone else. Pirating digital content causes no harm as long as I was not going to pay for the content anyway because consuming the content has zero marginal cost to the creator. They're in the exact same position either way.

Fetishizing the founders and imagining that current times are playing out as they intended makes no sense. In less than 100 years the system they set up resulted in civil war.

They aren't smarter than us and they don't know anything about the present. I don't care what the founders thought nor what people today imagine they would think.
For years, we believed that The Google is the end-all-be-all in terms of "the best" tech to be using. Today, a lot of people still believe this, although to a lesser extent because, for obvious reasons, fewer exhibit blind trust in The Google or get that warm and fuzzy "not evil" feeling. Also, one organization has an astonishingly bigger cash flow than the other, so go figure.

With the shift to smartphones, a diminishing number of people care about their web browser, let alone those who even remember what a web browser is. Chrome just works for most people, and the need to use another browser is completely unclear to the average person. In fact, there may be no good reason to switch browsers for the average person; why would you choose a different browser with better ad-blocking capabilities when you like using The Google and enjoy those quirky State Farm commercials?

To top it all off, Mozilla has made lousy decisions as to how to delegate its cash flow.
Seems unlikely, but would be rather obviously amazing if it pans out. Would be fun to see a prediction market on stuff like this to get a good guide on how much faith others have in it.

"x64/arm64 devices"? "CPU: 2x quad-core+ @ 2.80GHz+"?

Cool idea! Seems like car thieves could probably just carry around another device to hack it, but certainly could be a deterrent.

I don’t know much about it but it seems like a key is supposed to be the password for the car, so seemingly the key is where improvements could be made. Like add unique and random differences in the metal on each key and have the key slot read those and only turn on the car if it matches (since I guess the metal bumps are easily bypassed by thieves?)

Or couldn’t the bumps on keys just be replaced by.. pretty much anything that is physically secure and not multiple hundreds of years old technology? Credit card chips, magnet strips, 2fa fobs, fingerprint sensors, etc?
The boomer in me suggests that you buy a manual transmission automobile to deter would-be thieves...

Regarding the article, I get the idea that essentially this is a stripped down version of using something like a Yubikey to access a workstation (in this case, a car). I chuckled at the idea of doing certain actions within the car to get it to operate.

I do too, and I have had great success... until recently, when I noticed multiple sites that don't display all form fields / checkboxes under firefox.

Most recently, I was checking into an international flight on aa.com, and there was some checkbox that Firefox was not displaying. I kept hitting submit, and AA kept telling me there was a problem, and it appeared that I'd filled out the entire form. I disabled Ublock, etc, and I could never get it to work. I eventually tried Chrome, and noticed the extra field.

I wonder where your lessons for BASIC and LOGO came from. I've got to think that there's a wide range of quality in lessons and lesson plans. Or at least some lessons are intended for a certain age group or emphasize one type of skill over another.

I'm reminded that when I was taught LOGO in the 70s it was in a class where there was about a 3 to 1 student to teacher ratio and the lessons were far from self-paced. Maybe THAT'S why I have such great memories. It's 'cause I had someone right there to answer questions. And my memories of learning LOGO in the 70s was it was very much like an American Montessori experience. The "teacher" introduced a concept and you got to play around with it for an hour. Then there would be a new concept followed by more play. And as I mentioned, if I found I couldn't do something I wanted to do, the teacher was right there.

The main reason is distribution. The vast majority of internet usage is mobile where Safari, Chrome or Samsung browsers are preinstalled. Users rarely change from the default unless they really need to.

Speaking of which, Edge is competitive enough that most Windows users don’t need to change - unlike internet explorer.
Oh it definitely had a meaning before the crypto people started using it. When I think of Web3 I think of "never really got clearly defined, those semantic web guys got close" and then being used for crypto.

The telco wiring in my area (Western Ohio) is a mess. I see pedestals with the cans broken open and splices exposed all over. The ILEC in my area (Frontier) is bankrupt, but the non-bankrupt ILECs in surrounding areas are doing no better with basic maintenance.

I get angry when I see it, thinking about the history of free easements, tax abatement, subsidy, and other favorable treatment that the telcos received, historically, and how they can leave this perfectly serviceable infrastructure to rot.

CAFE regulations basically make it so no manufacturer will touch that market. The yearly MPG requirements for vehicle manufacturers are heavily influenced by the vehicle size (track width and wheelbase). Bigger footprint means lower MPG target, that's why every new truck now is massive, and they don't make small trucks anymore like the old Tacomas and Rangers.
Chrome was started by Google as a push to improve the web, which was mired in the stagnation of Internet Explorer dominance. This was good and it worked, but now they are the new monopoly, controlling not just the majority browser but also the majority search engine, majority email platform, and majority online productivity tools. They naturally work to ensure that all that stuff works well with Chrome. Pretty much the only space they don't dominate is social media, but most people access that through apps, not a browser. Even if Firefox is a better browser (and I'm not saying it is, though I personally prefer it) there just isn't much space for Firefox to start driving a wedge in.

It's an alternative for those who want it, but it's hard to point to any technical reason to prefer it.
I was wondering about the domed base of some of the bottles.
Luckily there's a 'Bottle Bases Page': https://sha.org/bottle/bases.htm

> It may appear that the steep rise or pushed-up portion of the base was done to reduce the interior volume of the bottle. However, it was more likely done for some or all of the following reasons: for bottle strength enhancing, stability (i.e., the process helps form an even base and keeps the rough glass of some pontil scars out of the way so the bottle sits upright without wobbling), to provide a means of turning bottles in a stack using the fingers and thumb (a procedure still followed in traditional champagne manufacture), and/or possibly to trap content sedimentation (Jones 1971a; Boow 1991).

Sure, but isn't the entire world a bigger market than the US? I don't get why you'd limit the amount of people who can pay for your content by geographic area when there is nothing that would prevent you from releasing it to everyone. I'm sure it's because the producers are benefiting somehow, I just don't know how.
If random websites break, it's because the developer didn't do any testing in Firefox. IIRC Firefox follows standards more closely than Chrome and Chrome has random additional features that aren't standard that can make websites better, e.g YouTube, Google Maps

Build more yes. But you have to prevent "investors" from buying it all up. City of Vancouver built loads of houses but "investors" bought them all up. Vancouver is ranked the third most expensive city in the world for housing.

Also, aren't there plenty of unoccupied homes in Northern England towns? But there's no jobs. So there lies another problem. Supplies of houses where there's no jobs, and vice versa.

This is unlikely to happen in most cities, as avertising is embedded in our culture now. Can you imagine what NYC and Times Square would look like with no ads? (Turns out much better[1] IMO, but I'm not sure everyone would agree.)

Rather, I think the only way to make this happen is to move adblockers to the real world. The user would wear AR goggles that would hide any detected ads. I'll be using that the second AR becomes accessible for everyday outdoor use. An audio adblocker would be great as well.

I mostly agree, having every single type checked all the time like other static languages is not appropriate and probably not even a good idea but on the other hand it is also kind of annoying to have your validation code be divorced from your types totally.

For example suppose I have a web request coming in and I have essentially just a string of input coming in on the body. I have an expectation of what it needs to be but there is a step where it is of type `unknown` and I need to convert it into `IMyHandlerInput`. Just casting it is obviously a bad idea and so now I need to essentially use some kind of library such as ajv to do json schema or jtd validation, _then_ I can cast it into my interface.

This is all fine but it definitely feels redundant to me. It would be a cool _ecmascript_ feature to essentially support, not runtime types per-se but syntactic _validation_ which can also be used by typescript to derive types automatically.

This is totally hypothetical but I'm imagining something like this for example:

```ts
schema Example {
@min 0
id: number

@pattern /^\w+ \w+$/
name: string

@future
expiresAt: Date

}

const data: Example = new Example(JSON.parse(body))
```

Something that the JS runtime can use to allow developers to opt-in to extensible validation which can also be used by the typescript interpreter to essentially derive types.
