So is the military industrial complex that fed off taxpayers money in Afghanistan and Iraq, doesn't mean it produces a quality of life improvement for consumers at large

I believe Mao called that economic strategy 'the great leap forward'

> > No one is taking his diesel away. And he bought it third/fourth hand anyway. More likely petrol engines go away than diesels

Fossil fuels (petrol or diesel) should not go away at all because such decision is a byproduct of centralised economy planning based on the time preference of the elites who live in mansions and have the luxury to wonder and wander with their minds about what would be the future 100 years from now. The vast majority of us instead we are just trying to make a living and the maximum timespan we think about is 3 months into the future.

And I should add that all that mental wondering and wandering, or should I say mental "wankering" would produce a reduction of about 0.08C if 100% global compliance were to be achieved at the cost of trillions of dollars

> > People marvel at how you spend so much on pets while there's people hungry and homeless around you

Tesla is all that on steroids and with a cult of personality slapped on the hood. But I guess you are right when you cite homelessness and poverty as something that is overlooked daily in America so a phenomenon like Tesla emerging in the US is just more of the same and should have been expected given the dangerous precedent of the War on drugs, the War on Terror, the Apollo Program, all stuff costing trillions to indulge the mental wankering of the elites
So, you endup with best case 3.000.000 USD/unit drones. This for 2.000 drones, not considering budget overuns.
Both sides in Ukraine use more than this in a single month.
Again the obession with flashy technology in the US military ignores the reality of what is a large scale peer conflict.
Those drone maybe great, but their cost and the possible manufacture complexity make it not very practical for large scale peer conflicts.

They show the zinc doesn't continue to creep if the load is below a threshold-- technically the zinc doesn't creep if it's not subject to persistent shear forces, which is won't be if the cable load is below a threshold as the wires take up the load. This essentially results in a long term capacity which is different from the short term capacity. Unfortunately the ratio between the two depends on the wire splaying geometry which isn't well controlled, resulting in wide differences.

The report concludes that if it had been built to a safety factor of 3 rather than 2, the issues wouldn't have been experienced. Alternatively, the failure could have been avoided by reacting to flow over some threshold (which was noticed well in advance, but not reacted to)

Presumably we don't see similar failures in sockets in suspension bridges because they're built at a safety factor of 5+ and usually that's a SF over their rarely reached maximum load rather than a factor over their 24/7 load.
Thought Pollen was going to be another bad Google product name, but it's actually just a very literal name.
Here in Sweden we have a lot of (military) airstrips that are incorporated into the public road network.

It's always strange when you bike on a rural road and it broadens to a four lane motorway straight ahead for a kilometer, and then it narrows again and meanders on.

It's not this simple either way. I just feel like a co-op is likely to have more effort spent on politics between employees. It's a lot like a union.
Splitting the abstraction is never cheap and quick, mostly because of politics. With duplicated code you often can assign a single responsible owner to each duplication.

However, once abstracted, the code may suddenly be used by a number of different teams. You will need to get this work on their roadmap, increasing the friction to get this done. In many companies, this will also end up in endless discussions about the new approach.
Let them use the damn money they already have, over bloated budgets already. They don't need 6 billion for a drone. Come on that's ridiculous.
This article uses modulation tricks to try to get many inputs all on one audio channel.

However, USB sound cards, available for around a dollar[1] have a nice high input impedance and can directly be connected to EEG probes for direct sampling of microvolt level signals. No circuitry needed!

You can easily connect hundreds of them to the same system and get hundreds of input channels with great electrical isolation. The way USB works, they also have perfectly synchronised clocking too!

I am european. Regarding to the metric system, IMO americans are wrong. But regarding to electricity, americans have it better than Europe: France, UK, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark and Germany have their own sockets, and that after a recent spread of the german Schuko.

Unicorns aren't who benefit from such a structure. The marginal quality hire is - the person who would be good enough if they were offered the job, but who, for one reason or another, are deemed too risky to hire at current market prices.

One only has to browse a place like r/cscareerquestions to get a sense that many people, early career especially, find themselves in this situation - stuck perhaps in the dreaded "can't get hired without experience, can't get experience without getting hired" catch 22.
The other comments answer this well.

But I'll add Ruby on Rails and a lessor extent Ruby was pushed by hipsters hard and people who didn't program but were internet explorers.

Python just was. You'd never have not considered it a language.

I always thought having Python 2 and 3 held it back a decade. The fact it won despite that means to me it was never a contest.

We will continue to witness this scenario in the USA as long as deferred prosecution agreements remain in place. Observe how no individuals face jail time; instead, substantial fines are levied, and business continues as usual. The company benefits, often reflected in a rise in stock price, while prosecutors add another accomplishment to their résumés.

Contemplating an extreme measure, if such infractions were punishable by the death penalty, one wonders how many top-tier executives would risk such behavior.
Seems like it's reversed along the Y axis as well? I'm curious what led to that. The nefarious side of my brain say it was a very basic attempt at making the source training data less immediately recognizable in any generated output, but I do wonder if there's a more innocent explanation.
Forbes can write an article about anything. I wonder who scrutinizes the usefulness & relevancy. If this sort of article with a clickbait title is approved, it seems like their overall credibility would take a hit at some point.

We all have an easy way to summarize articles but I’m excited for the possibility of ask chat gpt to summarize all articles on Forbes about Netflix, for example. My hunch is chat gpt would describe Forbes’ Netflix coverage as vague or ambiguous.

I probably can’t speak to your jurisdiction, but no electrical inspector I’ve ever met would consider those loads continuous - in its precise, non-colloquial meaning - for the purpose of rating the circuit.

An appliance manufacturer may be under different UL regulations for failure modes of a device on a specific rated circuit. I don’t know anything about that.

It seems like the weak point was the frontend process that was written in Go which was decompiler friendly, allowing the author to unravel a lot of details about the other software processes and communication protocols.
Inheritance is very useful in domains like game engines, where it is very common to have a base object such as "Node" that has some properties that every object in the scene graph must have, which all share the same implementation. For example they should all have a parent property and a collection of children, and ways to modify those properties. They'll also share methods such as "render" which probably must be overridden in every subclass. Its not impossible to solve this with interfaces and composition but those solutions are sub-optimal.

An example you might be more familiar with is the DOM of a web browser - every element has some basic properties and methods that all share an implementation.

For sure you'd want to be careful. My Kitchenaid stand mixer would certainly be unhappy if it were plugged into a 240V outlet, but Kitchenaid makes a 240V version that I could replace it with. A lot of work, but technically doable.

There are many situations where law enforcement is authorized (by law) to do something that would normally be illegal. For example here is some language from
18 U.S. Code § 1030 - Fraud and related activity in connection with computers:

> This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States.

I'm not sure if this is the relevant code for this Qakbot incident, I'm just trying to clarify that the law generally accepts that law enforcement officials get special dispensation from the regular requirements of the law in order to carry out their function or to protect the public.
Most workers can't afford that kind of risk or time. They have bills to pay.
I think if they aren't practicing using highways as runways, then they aren't really runways. They might have been designed at some point.

The US using highways never made sense since unlikely to need them, and have a ton of civil airfields that could be used. Using highways makes a lot of sense for Sweden and Finland that are under threat and doesn't have civil aviation.
That's a very contrived example.

It's Also why people normally get a permit or at least contact officials to tell them that they're going to do staging a scene that looks exactly like an accident/crime scene.

It isn't a strike against emergency responders for responding to a situation that someone has staged to look as close to the real thing as possible.
The tail is wagging the dog. You claim “unofficial” sabbaticals are problematic because in the US health insurance and pension are tied to your employer. But the problem isn’t the sabbatical, it’s the way things are done in the US.

I’m from Australia, I quit my job last year due to burnout. Regardless of whether I choose to return to work or not, I get free public healthcare, private healthcare if I pay for it, and a guaranteed government funded pension once I reach retirement age.

The US needs to fix the problem, not the symptom.
> I can't understand it. The network operators should save their vitriol for the vendors who are selling them equipment that sucks

We call out vendors when their quality suffers but you only have two or three practical vendor options for high end routers depending on your use case/feature requirements. All three have varying cycles of hardware and software quality, with hardware and software rarely being in phase for the same vendor.

The fact that all three vendors make most of their money on non-network focused enterprises with less sophisticated engineers doesn't help get development attention where it needs to be for global infrastructure.
Keep in mind that there are dozens if not hundreds of different problems, each being presented as catastrophic. If it was all true to the degree claimed, we'd be in far worse shape. It's logically impossible for everything to be as bad as claimed.

In truth, we're doing pretty ok. There's just still lots of room for improvement.
I would like the voltage to be lowered even more, to 70 Volts. The reason is that 240V is very dangerous and can easily kill a human. But it seems governments care only about saving aluminium in wires rather than lives.
They have to work an extra year per sabbatical, and the number of sabbaticals is capped to some small number. Say, 3 for example.

In the US you can start drawing retirement benefits at 62 at a lower rate, or at 65 at a higher rate. So this would be similar. Eligible for benefits at 62 with no sabbaticals. Or 65 with 3 sabbaticals.

There is a simple merit: if some code is complicated enough to make you think twice before modifying it because you’ll need to modify all the copies (and you realize that it will be not easy) - then it is better to make this code DRY.

There are some simple pieces of code that are cheap to copy and modify later. And nothing wrong will happen if you do not apply future modifications to every copy. A code like this doesn't have to be DRY.
The Nazi genocide in the East was explicitly modeled on the treatment of Native Americans in the 19th century.

So, like voltage, it’s another case where Americans invented something and Europeans doubled down.
I don't know much about Apple's hardware but at least consoles are secured against both those things. They have anti-glitch circuitry. The boot ROM doesn't even do comparisons against computed hashes, it just extends PCRs with them so it's glitch-proof by design even if the core stability monitoring fails. The Xbox One doesn't even expose most of the keys to software at any point. The keys flow from the hardware parts of the security complex to the RAM decryption/hashing engine via dedicated wires on the SoC.

Also, the entire stack is renewable. Unless you find a bug in the boot ROM they will just patch it and months of work will be toast within days. The boot ROMs are (a) encrypted and (b) very heavily reviewed and pen tested. Again, don't know about Apple but all these modern security architectures are more or less the same. The underlying theory is universal and sound, it just boils down to varying levels of cost / effort / backwards compatibility / generality.

So I'd say there are no right places to look anymore. There's always the potential for bugs in the tiny parts of the systems that act as the roots of trust, but these are small pieces of code and it's possible with enough break/fix cycles and review to make them perfect.

All the above rests on a few assumptions:

• Attackers of limited motivation. Xbox guys set a budget of $600 for hacking a specific console. If you're willing to spend more than that on a physical attack then they accept defeat (i.e. FIB workstations are out of scope).

• Platform vendors with tight control over hardware. PCs are insecure against physical attacks by design due to general disagreement and lack of consensus over whether it really matters / what the threat model is. So there are RA schemes but they're hardly used and mostly sold to enterprises wanting to defend against malware.

• Goal is to defend the whole stack. PC platforms can do RA of isolated worlds, this is how SGX works, and it's in theory secure against physical attack (encrypted memory) but SGX enclaves are very limited in what they can do. In theory you could build a secure path to the GPU, but in practice to do that requires a billion NDAs and only works with some GPUs etc and there's no encrypted path for input devices. On iDevices, consoles and other places with vertical integration that's solvable.
Being sweet or conforming to a parents/adults idea of what a good child should act like does not equate to good social skills. It means they understand how to act around adults, likely, because they are around their parents regularly and have that behavior engrained.

That has nothing to do with their ability to socialize with their peers. This is a pretty common home school kid issue. Great with adults. Not great with other kids. Adults don't care because they are well behaved and the kids dont know how to vocalize that they have difficulties socializing with others their age.

I would rewrite it in a bit different way:

Fixing a bug in one place and being sure only one place was affected and being sure that one place was really fixed is cheaper

-

than fixing a bug in one place affecting 20 where in 15 places it was a proper fix, in 5 places it will break in unforeseen way when user does something different and somehow additional 2 places totally broken because no one ever knew these were affected.

Pollution's impact has drastically been reduced over the last half century or so. Pollution is mostly an issue of where waste is released to avoid impact on populations. For example Canada gets a lot of flak for its mountains of sulfur blocks from oil sand processing, but that's an example of limiting impact. The earth is big and there's a lot of desolate places to put waste, it's just the expense of moving it there.

The main challenges are pollutants that can't easily be contained and have adverse effects even when diluted globally. Mercury is one example, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons are others. We've mostly found ways to contain or replace those.

Of course, the big one is carbon dioxide. But it's not an impossible problem: the Haber Bosch process doesn't inherently emit carbon, it's the hydrogen production that emits carbon dioxide. This can be replaced with thermal water splitting from nuclear power or electrolysis. No doubt it'll take a lot of investment in new energy sources, but it's not impossible.

Log with a Wrong Git Username
You can log (clone/pull) using any login (wrong one) and your key as the password. Nothing nasty here but it's good to know you no longer need to write your complex github login.

Although in the documentation Github specifies that :

````
Once you have a personal access token, you can enter it instead of your password when performing Git operations over HTTPS.

For example, to clone a repository on the command line you would enter the following git clone command. You would then be prompted to enter your username and password. When prompted for your password, enter your personal access token instead of a password.

$ git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git
Username: YOUR_USERNAME
Password: YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOK
````

They should update the doc to become :

A lot of individuals don't really live long past retirement age. In the U.S., men live to be 73.5 years on average. So extending your retirement age until you're 85 at the proposed 1:4 ratio gives you 5 years of retirement benefits when you're younger, vs an average of 8.5 years when you're older.

I don't see this as a terrible deal.

Of course, you then have to work past the standard retirement age, but I see this as a given for a lot of people anyway (you might even live longer if you get frequent sabbaticals)
Effectively yes, it is called Social Security. No one in the US refers to it as a "pension" even though it is equivalent to what many Europeans call pensions. The term "pension" is reserved for other defined-benefit retirement plans, which are no longer common in the US. Americans are consistently messaged and incentivized to save for retirement separate from their Social Security pension.

Social Security is relative generous by the standards of the industrialized world. For example, I will receive $3600/month from the government at the standard retirement age, in addition to any other retirement savings I may have. Similarly, the government will pay for my healthcare when I reach retirement age.
