The war was over when soldiers surrendered and stopped shooting. The course of the war was predictable when Germany invaded the USSR. If the allies had done no strategic bombing at all, both of these things would still be true.

Right, what everyone is trying to discern is whether this outcome is a legitimate win or a pyrrhic victory.
They're not referring to socializing with you, per se. I see this mistake made all the time in these discussions. Many just prefer to be around other people, myself included. They're not necessarily the caricature of the "overly social office mate that needs to find friends outside of work" that you are implying.

I really think you're overassuming your knowledge of the person you're responding to.

Thanks for this. I had no idea! I definitely did not have any suicidal thoughts while on it, but it sounds like I was a lucky one.
I used to think that almost nobody who opposed socialism actually knew what socialism is. That's true but what I've realized more recently is that almost nobody who defends capitalism actually knows what capitalism is. It's just a kneejerk reaction without thought.

The fight by large telcos against municipal broadband is the perfect representation of capitalism vs socialism.

Municipal broadband is a fundamentally socialist idea. The people of a town, city, county or whatever essentially own the means of production, being the Internet connectivity in this case.

Comcat, AT&T, Spectrum, etc perfectly exemplify capitalism: these companies exist solely to extract as much value from the end-consumers as possible while doing the least possible, all for higher profits for shareholders. it is pure rent-seeking and using the political process and the courts to create and maintain monopolies to keep those profits as high as possible.

All of this is entirely obvious within the context of the labor theory of value [1] and dialectical materialism [2].

The last mile should be muncipally owned, operated and maintained and Internet access should be a basic utility like water and electricity.

HN top comments when Threads was launched: Twitter killer

HN top comments when Threads loses 80%: this was obvious

This shows something I've enjoyed watching in online forums which are large. Everything is always obvious to someone so when the evidence is in favour, they tell you.

The resulting effect is that everything is obvious to any community large enough: the ones who disagree hide or are hidden.

This is a mechanism for the reduction of information in a sufficiently large forum because the interesting comments are usually from people who don't find something obvious.
Numerous historians have shown that strategic bombing was counterproductive for three reasons:

1) It rallied civilian morale to side with the government. People were aggrieved that they were being bombed, and it stiffened their resistance and motivated them to work harder towards the war effort.

2) Despite strategic bombing targeting factories and industrial infrastructure, they only caused superficial damage. The damaged factories were quickly brought back online, and the newly motivated workers significantly increased their output. In some books they cited increases of output in bombed German factories of above 100% towards the end of the war.

3) Strategic bombers are extremely costly to produce and operate. Casualties on strategic bombing missions in the beginning were incredibly high, with some air wings suffering ~50% personnel loss during an air campaign. All of this loss resulted in no changed on the battlefield, and negligible or even counter-productive effects on enemy industrial production.

In summary, strategic bombing of civilian targets and cities was a colossal waste of time, resources, and manpower. All of those things could have been redirected elsewhere to help end the war earlier.

https://malwarwickonbooks.com/strategic-bombing-in-wwii/

---

While we're on the topic, one place where strategic bombing was successful is targeting Romanian and German oil refineries. The loss in German oil production directly lead to the war ending earlier, and the hamstringing of German logistics and consequently military operations.

https://www.maxwell.af.mil/News/Display/Article/1887774/wwii...

As Rommel would say: amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics.

This experience makes me think that even though strategic bombing was wasteful in WW2, it still has a place in modern military doctrine. A large strategic bombing fleet can act as a deterrent, and a way to quickly subdue less sophisticated opponents by bombing all their critical infrastructure back into the stone age.

It should also be noted however that large scale American strategic bombing during the Vietnam conflict was largely unsuccessful.
I hardly think it's tyrannical to jail someone who made literally billions of attempts to defraud people.
"fix this code" is very broad, it will likely do better with more of a prompt.

"you will be given a section of code wrapped in ``` your task is analysis this code for any possible issues. You should list any issues you find and why you believe it's an issue. Then explain how to correct it"
By this logic, the war was over before it even started so why fight?
Then why don't we pass that law?

> And even if you write inefficient code, CPUs are so fast that you won't notice it.

I think you are arguing for the right cause but with wrong arguments. In C language, not understanding in details what exactly the code does, can be just as disastrous as in Verilog. Internet examples abound.
Yes, that's how I feel about now. :-)
Wow, legalizing across the board and requiring licensing was the idea I had. Force some kind of education requirements, pay into funds to provide treatment, and revoke licenses for those that abuse the privilege. This is what we do for other high risk activities like driving, skydiving, scuba diving, etc., it just makes sense to do it for drugs. This list is fantastic, it should be shouted across the nation. You have my vote.
Ask HN: What tools do you use for recording conceptual/architectural vision?
I’ve been working on a project at a remote-first company where we have had a hard time communicating the vision to company leadership. This might just be due to the fact that we are kidding ourselves and don’t have much vision. But, I also think it might be because we aren’t very good at communicating about high-level ideas asynchronously.

I have found myself wanting to record a walk through, Kahn Academy style, as if I were standing at a whiteboard with the person watching and going through the concept as a story. I know I could use PowerPoint, but it just feels too dead. I could also spring for a Wacom tablet, but I wanted to get some input first.

What tools or techniques do you use for communicating like this?
well, the one positive thing about apple phasing out Objective-C is that enthusiasts may be more motivated to work on GNU Objective-C to catch up, also considering that doing so is no longer a runaway target.
They will need to invest in more rail if that is going to be sustainable. My limited experience with German trains is positive, but going Hamburg to Berlin has always been fully booked.
Thank you Rich for everything you've done over the years, and I'm really happy to see that Clojure continues to have a future.
There's some guy out there doing this kind of thing without lawyers and wins every time, and is making a living on it. It was posted on HN some years ago.
STL also has some kinda broken features, eg it’s hard to work with a std::vector<T> because everything is different when T=bool and then you get confusing errors if you happen to do that accidentally. std::vector<char> is also a bit broken though that’s the language’s fault rather than STL’s.

What's worse, you're actually hurting their future career by allowing (or encouraging) them to develop bad intellectual, work, and communication habits. Borderline abusive IMO because the junior doesn't realize they've been misled until much later.
There's plenty of real scientists doing real science with this. It's pretty dismissive to talk about university labs full of PhDs posting preprints and videos and all of that and liken them to TMZ style reporting.

People bring up the cold fusion stuff repeatedly, and that's also bizarre - Muon stuff aside, cold fusion wasn't thought to be possible under our understanding of physics when that craze happened. That's a lot of what was so weird about it. On the other hand, there's absolutely nothing in our understanding of physics that makes a RTAPS impossible.

I would agree with the idea that not being excited about this at this point in time doesn't make you a curmudgeon. But saying "I do not mean this in a hostile way" doesn't mean much when you proceed to be hostile and disparaging towards people. The tone of your comment doesn't change at all if you replace "I do not mean this in a hostile way, but" with "You morons"
The world's biggest polluters don't care. Studies can't compel them to do anything. Regulations can, but many countries don't have many because they are desperate for the business or are corrupt. Even the US is sluggish when it comes to regulations- since Reagan, the very concept has been demonized to the point of barely existing. There are politicians who call the EPA evil. Literally.

So don't tell me about this. Preach it at Davos or the G whatever number this year summit. or a place like Epstein's island where the movers and shakers party. Those are the assholes who need to change. Sadly, only they can save this planet, and they are way busy focusing on making more and more billions they may not even live to spend.

Unfortunately I can’t share my docs as I don’t wish to out my identity here. But if you search for tcpa demand letter you can get some ideas on how to get started.

Basically once you’ve identified the caller or the business that benefits from the call, you write a demand letter that states the details of the calls and you intend to sue under the tcpa if they do not wish to settle for $$$ before a given date.

You’ll want to read the text of the tcpa first - basically you can be awarded up to $500 per call and ask the court for triple damages so you can allege damages for up to $1500 per call. Also research any state laws you may have (that have a “private right of action” aka you can bring the suit yourself). Those damages can be layered on top.

so Haber-Bosch which is very energy intensive, fueled by fossil fuels. So in a way, the fossil fuel supply chain over the last century is another black swan (it wasn't a singular moment, but a systemic shift and adoption).

If we developed the will to sustainably mitigate its toxic by-products including plastic, that would be another nice black-swan for the future. Though it also won't be singular moment but a systemic change that is hard to notice.
The people working in these call centers know what they're doing by defrauding the most vulnerable members of our society and should be considered enemy combatants if their host government is unwilling to act on their crimes.
It's this kind of excitement of possibility that drives people to work on ideas like this in the first place. Thousands of people tuned into Andrew McCalip's twitch stream of an oven, just because of the possibility that something world-changing might come out. I'm sure lots of those viewers, many of them young people who are in the prime years of forming interests and career choices, have never even heard of superconductors before last week, and now are soaking up all the information they can on the topic. That's awesome.

Was the hype leading up to the moon landing also a waste of time, just because it was just "gossip" until boots hit the surface? Such a joyless take.
My wishlist: a mirror metadata service like Yarn to force pypi to innovate more. Pip is slow because it doesn't store the dependency metadata and has to download all upstream dependencies during the resolution phase. They were too busy wasting time on minor issues like domain squatting than core dependency resolution concerns. I also want to see Python support simultaneously conflicting diamond dependencies like Npm and Cargo. Python doesn't even support shading. One old dependency and your whole build breaks, with no recourse aside from forking upstream.

> close to the equator

The peak anomaly was in Vicuña, Chile, at -30°Lat - i.e. Puerto Alegre, Maseru, Perth-Brisbane. Symmetrically, that would be Houston, Cairo, Delhi, Shanghai...

The tropic of Capricorn is at -23.4°Lat.

The peak anomaly is well below the tropic. And Buenos Aires (where the other biggest anomaly was) is several degrees further south.

Update:

> But Buenos Aires is only 5°C hotter

I think it refers to the previous highest record well over one century ago. It says,

> Buenos Aires set a daily record for the start of August with its high of 30.1C - more than 5 degrees above the previous daily record, and 12C warmer than its August average

(BTW: Wikipedia does not agree with those records in the "Climate data" table, but anyway.)

That's a tricky one. Yes, it doesn't prove anything. But if that same person would show you a battery and an electric light and the fact that the one can power the other you'd have no qualms about saying that that video is real and proof of the existence of electricity because you've already accepted that as a fact and any evidence that confirms it can safely be added to the huge pile that already exists.

But let's just for the moment go back 112 years when your average laboratory was less well equipped than today's lab of mid sized university and people were doing groundbreaking research all over the place. Including superconduction. So we are all less likely to believe the 'underdog citizens' because anything they can do the labs can do that much better. But the underdog citizens apparently excel at marketing themselves, rather than that they excel at science and replication is something they are sometimes quite good at (Nile Red for instance is in that category). So as long as they aren't doing original science I think we maybe should lump them into the 'preponderance of evidence' class and if enough of those unknown individuals all report consistent results then it may count for something, more so if you know one of them yourself and are allowed to inspect the results. But for a global audience it shouldn't hold as much weight as a replication by a well known university with a good reputation, especially if they supply samples for others to test. (Because I think with this substance testing it properly is a lot easier (while still challenging) than manufacturing it properly.)
I hadn't known that point about sort order. Wait, so suppose a language that uses the same alphabet as English used a reversed alphabet ordering. Would unicode include z-a somewhere else to support that language?
> or whatever you want to call it

I feel for you lmao. Technology naming conventions are a shitshow, and CPU architecture is no exception.
This is great. It's pretty easy to standup a Kubernetes cluster on bare metal these days. Projects like k0s are for exactly that: running Kube (cluster or single nodes) on bare metal. But ideally if you're a mid or large size entity you want to be able to stand up multiple clusters, for different teams or projects, to have some isolation. Cattle not pets, for clusters. Moving from a one to many mode.

So k0smotron is a way to be able to stand-up/upgrade/manage many k0s bare-metal clusters, via Kubernetes itself. Clusters are - like everything in Kubernetes - just resources (defined by CRDs). K0smotron can go setup & manage Kubernetes clusters on the bare-metal nodes it's given, via typical kubectl operations.

Personally I think this is really great. It's making me consider switching off my own Ansible-based k3s installs. I already run a lot of small single-node clusters here & there, and a couple very modest bigger clusters, and it feels like I could consolidate my management footprint considerably by using this fleet-of-clusters operators.

We're not just rewriting the system for the sun though. There have to be many stars that aren't large enough to have internal barycenters for all their planets. Maybe we do want to define the stars that have this trait and not the planets in their solar systems.
Seems to me like 'defrauding some of the most powerful people in the world, misdiagnosing serious diseases, and harassing a whistleblower to the point where he killed himself' is an awfully high bar to clear in order for white-collar crime to be taken seriously.

You paid for a car with non-functional heated seats. You got a car with non-functional heated seats.

I agree that if people figure out how to easily enable those seats they have a problem. Because now they are getting less payment for those seats (as some people are using them without paying). But that doesn't make it wrong to sell you a car with non-functional heated seat hardware.

> blackmailing you

They aren't blackmailing you. There is no threat. They are making you an offer. They can turn your disabled heated seats into functioning heated seats.

Skipping a step effectively creates a different production line. Now you need to track these inventories separately, ensure stock of each, schedule the production and ensure that various stockpiles around the world have each model. There are very significant cost there. It is entirely possible that this complexity and cost results in more e-waste. But it definitely increases cost.

> where you have to pay extra to use something you already bought?

But you didn't buy it. You bought a car without heated seats. (or with disabled heated seats if you prefer). You got exactly what you were promised and what you agreed to pay for.
