The secret service is under the DHS, not the CIA or FBI, which have been the organizations criticized by RFK, and JFK for that matter.

The DHS didn't even exist back then, the SS was absorbed into it some time after it was created in 2002.

Regardless, one can want the usual protections given and needed and also hold the belief that some agencies are too powerful and corrupt and need to be broken up. (like breaking up the DHS and making the SS it's own entity)
Yep. An extra-legal paramilitary is antithetical to a free society. There's no right/left to this. Scatter it to the wind.

Those models are wrong, it's as simple as that.

They are probably wrong in ways that would be completely transparent to anyone actually looking into how they are constructed.

I can't say specifically what is wrong about the model you are referring to, but let me give an example that illustrates one common issue:
Agriculture, forestry and fishing accounted for ~5% of the world economy last year.
Loosing 5% of the economy is not good, but it is not that bad. But in reality, of course, loosing that particular 5% would lead to the total collapse of all civilisation.

Those kinds of dynamical effects are extremely difficult to model, and literary anyone doing that kind of modelling is a crackpot, no more or less. (But crackpots sometimes win prices, so that's good for them I guess...)

My point is: be extremely sceptical of "models" that tries to "value" ecological damage based on current prices. The present biological web on earth is the only place we know in the universe where we know humans can live and thrive. Let's not ruin it for a few percentage points of imaginary economic growth.
Then why hasn't it been keeping up? It seems that lithium recycling is way behind exploration and mining. Why? It's highly profitable as you say, are there technology limitations?
Whenever I read any press about actors or goroutines, they say the same thing about preventing races (and the need for explicit locking) through share-nothing concurrency.

It's easy to scatter the computations, but they never go on to explain how to gather them back up.

You're going to render one frame to the screen. Did multiple actors have a write-handle into the frame buffer? What about collisions, does each entity collide with itself, without sharing position information with other actors?
The thing I was surprised about is that they survived!

Wait a couple years and check again. With micro inverters you can deal better with partial shade. They're probably right that it makes no financial sense now, but that changes over time.

The problem with solar is that unlit panels behave like a diode and no current flows. Chain together a lit and unlit panel and you get nothing. Put the inverter ahead of the interconnects and that's not a problem.

It is an argument against the idea that it’s an insane idea from socialists gone mad since conservative regimes found it equally useful.
I’ve built toy apps with Ruby/Rails and larger apps with Python/Django. Honestly, I like Django more for its less magical approach, ORM with automatically generated migrations for common cases, and great ecosystem (check out Django REST Framework, Django Filter, Django Reactor, and Django Unicorn, to name a few).

If you already like Django and have learned its ins and outs, time spent learning Rails would be better spent actually building something with Django. Also, a lot of big, successful companies have been built with Django, among them Pinterest and Instagram.

With that said, if you want to try something new and need something better suited for scalable, real-time applications, the combination of Elixir & Phoenix is similar to Rails but also less magical, and it runs on a battled-tested runtime with fault-tolerance and low latency built in.

Finally, if you’re building a CRUD-ish SAAS app that needs a constant server connection, check out Phoenix LiveView for a very robust and dev-friendly solution. For the type of apps it was meant for, it’s really the technology to beat (I use it for my day job)!
Are you doing full stack or backend development? On the browser a build step is needed anyways as you need transpilation to be able to use new ecmascript features, and you need a bundler for module management. Node is kept more up to date so I can see skipping compilation for that. I was already used to needing a build step before switching to typescript so it didn't matter much to me.

What am I missing? It's a three-column layout with an image in the center. It's OK, I guess. I'm not seeing any beauty. In fact, some of the text flow around the image looks quite awkward to me. It was probably done in 5 minutes with PageMaker or whatever publishing software magazines used at the time.
It would be a serious issue for in person transactions like shops, supermarkets, gas stations, etc

Imagine Walmart or Costco or Chevron centralised payment services went down for 30+ mins. You would get a lot of lost sales from those who don’t carry enough cash to cover it otherwise. Maybe a retailer might have a zapzap machine but lots of cards aren’t imprinted these days so that’s a non starter too.
If Starlink subscribers are (eventually) paying for the non-government for-profit side of launch services (and there is at least one competing network being built to compete with it), what are the economics of that project? How many customers can be served by satellites like these, and how much do you have to charge each customer to make those systems profitable?

ETA: I know a simple answer is something like “all residential broadband use” but I assume in practice there are some technical limits that cap the number of customers/bandwidth that can be delivered.
The solar panels are not quite in contact with the roof though, and that air gap does reduce absorption.

Jesus of Nazarath was reportedly crucified in Judea almost 2000 years ago, and people have all sorts of opinions on that event.

Events like these just have a way of getting out of hand. Honestly, I think my grandma, who was a JFK fan-girl, would probably be incredibly confused by the ideology of modern JFK conspiracy theorists.
Of course actual unhinged will try to assassinate people. That's to be expected in a world with so many people.

What has changed is that covert political assassinations by the secret services of nation states is no longer a viable strategy the way it was when JFK and RFK were killed.

Not even the Mossad is good enough to pull it off these days, and they're probably the best in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Mahmoud_Al-Ma...

Then there's the common 15mm and 22mm copper water and gas pipes, and Alpex 16mm and 20mm.

Lock free is kind of an overloaded term that can mean a variety of things depending on what the user is thinking. Usually the goal is being able to make forward progress even if one thread is context switched out by the OS scheduler, which might be called wait-free or non-blocking. Using mutexes (unless you can prevent OS scheduling, interrupts, etc) makes this property impossible to achieve. In general, MPSC queues are super fast and there's no real reason to prefer a locked queue.

>People enter into this wrong attitude regarding the important of education.

The problem is American higher ed is increasingly not enabling that sort of exploration of knowledge. When I went to college, I had foreign languages I wanted to learn, history of cultures that weren't covered in high school that I wanted to study, and plenty of courses from their catalog all of which looked interesting to me. But since none of the items I was interested in were in the already pre-approved list of "electives" I was allowed to take as part of my major, the only way to take those courses was to add them to the already 4 years maxed out full time credits + summer school schedule required to graduate in 4 years. Many of my younger colleagues have expressed similar frustrations about their times in school.

But I should also note that if students are going to college with the expectation that they will be able to hyper specialize it's at least in part because as a society we keep telling them that lie. I can't even count the number of times I've heard students who express frustration with schooling and especially with learning subjects they have no interest in being told "when you get to college, you get to pick the stuff you want to learn." And we support this lie by encouraging them to apply to and attend expensive larger 4 year schooling when we know damn well that the first 2 years are almost entirely gen-ed and for most students would be better spent taking those classes as cheaper, local community colleges.

This is even further compounded by the fact that companies are increasingly using higher education degrees as barriers to employment regardless of the actual need for higher education for the job in question. So for many students are being forced into getting an "education" when what they're really after is a job. Here again, promoting more community college systems with degrees in applied sciences would help, but in general a recognition that not everyone needs or has the time/maturity/focus or financial backing to obtain an "education" at that age is badly missing.
A significant difference is that I can get around that range for a few grand, with an ICE. It’s disingenuous to omit initial battery/costs of ownership from these calculations. $/mile the actual metric (and that’s even difficult with the road tax evasion that EVs currently enjoy).

I own an EV, and love it, but I also suspect it’s going right to the dump after the battery gives out.
> I bet it looks amazing with that piece of oak.

It did when I made it and still would if only I were to remove all the stuff which has collected on it. Still, it is handy to be able to have a few ongoing projects - currently a few SBCs which I'm configuring for duty, three mobiles with broken screens which I'm repurposing, one trailer camera based on another screen-less mobile, some random breadboards with half-forgotten circuits on them, a roll of nickel band waiting to be used to make battery packs, several 18650 batteries I salvaged from old medical power packs for the same purpose, an experimental wifi-interface for a heat pump I'm working on ... and that is only part of what fits in front of and under those monitors...
Finally something useful to be gained from this whole thread. That was a TIL for me as well.

I understand the reasons, and it may be great by comparison, but as an end user it's not really acceptable quite yet; people have to be able to use it to get something done and these little frustrations can easily push customers away.

To bring up my drive-thru example again, I mentioned it at the window and they said a lot of people were upset by the interaction too and had complained. Since there are alternatives nearby its easy to just not return to deal with "that".

Maybe some 'hold over' phrases could be used to fill the air while processing, like "sure, just a sec" , anything to let a user know that they were actually heard

> gun smoke seem from another location, eyewitness reports of Oswald that make it impossible for him to make the shots in those timeframes, or the eyewitness reports of a "police officer" near the grassy knoll that was never accounted for or found

Not sure what specifically you are referring to with all of them, but in general it covers the various eyewitness reports used to establish multiple shooters. In short (and would really recommend reading the book if you are interested in the subject) they are not credible. Often inconsistent (both internally as the stories are told on different occasions) and also mutually inconsistent. There were a lot of people there that day and it was quite chaotic after the assassination. It doesn't seem that implausible to me that there would be a lot of conflicting information from eyewitnesses. But the eyewitness testimony taken as a whole is completely consistent with Oswald firing all three shots from the Book Depository.

> magic bullet

From memory, there was nothing "magical" about the magic bullet. The injuries on both Kennedy and Connelly and the video evidence are completely consistent with the official story that a bullet hit Kennedy in the back of the neck, exited through his throat and then hit Connelly in the the thigh.

> exit wound

I assume you mean the story that there was an exit wound on the back of Kennedy's head. But according to the actual autopsy that was not the case. He had an entry wound on the back of his head and exit wound on the side/front (again consistent with the official story). The story of a rear exit wound is from two doctors who treated Kennedy at the hospital in Dallas. They were not doing an autopsy. They were administering emergency medicine to a man whose head was covered in blood and brain fragments. And there accounts have been directly contradicted by other doctors who were there.
That sort of reminds of broadcast fusion [1] in Julia.

Funnily enough, Julia is where I came across the term transducers too, via the Transducers.jl package [2]. The article and the comments here now make me wonder what the difference is, between broadcast fusion and transducers.

EU Chief Boasts About Vaccine Passports, Calls More Global Digital Collaboration
The ever-more-tiresome issue is that the textbook, accepted-by-rote relationship of interest rates to inflation hasn't held up. The Fed has raised, raised, raised rates for what, a couple of years now? To negligible effect.

That's because nobody is calling the administration to task for allowing the REAL cause of recent spiraling costs: monopoly and oligopoly. This is straight-up corporate profiteering and price-gouging. It's infuriating to see the dereliction of the press's duty in its failure to demand answers, and to regurgitate embarrassing circular "logic" by saying "higher prices are driving inflation!"

In other news: The heat is driving up temperatures around the world.
I think an interesting way of doing this would be to have tree-like solar panels. they would be somewhat wasteful in some ways, but would organically gather solar energy at a variety of times from a variety of directions. They could also provide a % of light through in all directions to give partial shade and coexist with trees.
You likely have a lane keep camera. The glass itself can be replaced without special tools, but the lane keep system needs to be”relearn” its new mounting position.

That recalibration requires some additional hardware.

Anecdata point: I was very active before I got an Apple Watch, but having the watch has increased my activity in two ways. First, it scratches the part of my brain that loves routines; meeting a daily goal provides a dopamine hit beyond that from the activity itself. Second, it provides an extra nudge on days when I might otherwise have said “ah, I’m feeling lazy/tired/unmotivated etc., I’m going to skip today.” I didn’t initially think I would care about the rings, but I think they’ve contributed to my health overall.
Most likely it's basically a corporate handout. It can also be a way to invite reciprocity. I don't know if that was part of the original intent here, but given the raft of voter ID laws that the US has seen in recent years (which prevent such an infinitesimal amount of actual voter fraud, yet coincidentally happen to adversely affect voters of one party much more than the other) it doesn't seem at all far fetched.

Naturally it's never described that way. It's typically framed as something like 'we should delegate this task to the private sector because they're more efficient'.

How are you using compose without docker? They are joined at the hip, criticism of one is criticism of the other.

The days of cheap money are over, it's inevitable that certain SaaS companies will start tightening the screws on their users to match the returns they can get with cash in a bank. I just wish lxc (which docker was built off) got a chance to gain traction. It's miles ahead in DX and sure they serve different functionalities but can be used the same and the network effects can't be understated.
It seems likely, yeah. Also, these customary units had all kinds of variations (technically they still do in countries using the UK-derived units though in practice the US ones are the ones people care about).
> C++ doesn't have bounds checks in the std library in release builds by default, so you can't get better than that.

In Haskell you can provide your own prelude, which uses unsafe functions without bounds checks by default. With CPP or cabal tricks, you can easily have bounds checks only for debug builds, but no bounds checks for release builds. No Liquid Types needed either, though this is only testing in development but not compile time verification. Less safe, but same effort and result as in C++.

> loops and bounds checks are complex in the first place isn't true.

Liquid Types people are not thinking about only loops and bounds checks. They think about any properties, for example:

* pointer checks, a huge security issue, see [1] or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37376946.

* valid expression checks (Beyond Bounds Checking of [2]), see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37440896.

[1]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.04034 "Flux: Liquid Types for Rust"

[2]: https://www.tweag.io/blog/2022-01-19-why-liquid-haskell/ "Why Liquid Haskell matters"

Sorting 5 numbers is complex in the first place isn't true. No other technology invests so much complexity as programming and this is barely an issue in modern problem solving in the first place.

My previous comments already said loops and bounds checks are not complex in the first place, and they are only used as a demo in a talk, as Liquid Types scale to handle any properties.

I am pretty certain that a reasonable reader can judge the merits of our arguments and make up their mind. Thanks for raising a possible misconception about Haskell and Liquid Types, and this forced me to strengthen the arguments to clear the misconception for other reasonable readers. This is my last comment on this issue.
This project is amazing. There's a video about halfway down the project that gives a good summary.

They demo dynamic adjustment of frame rate, i.e., by choosing the time internal for summation of each output pixel. But for me, the really interesting part is when they start summation over more complex trajectories. For example, they know a falling object in the video has a certain initial velocity and acceleration, so they can completely remove motion blur.

It would not surprise me if next-gen ultra-high-speed cameras start using this tech.
> Opening up a different browser requires more attention than just opening up a different colored tab (i.e. profile).

In both Firefox and Chromium, I can't open a new profile on a new tab. (This may be a difference in terms.)

I create different aliases/ scripts/ desktop icons for each profile, so typing or clicking "Facebook" opens the browser profile for that, while "Reddit" opens a different one, etc.

Firefox has "containers" which allow cookie separation on different tabs, but they use the same add-ons/ extensions, so I use that feature less frequently.
Heat pumps don't work that way. If it's using 10% of the electricity it could be 25-35% of the waste heat in the city.

But you can see from video evidence that they were sat aligned and Connolly was not turned.

If you are in the room, you might be able to make the shots - although the FBI failed to, and Oswald was a lousy shot - but my main problem is that he could not have moved through the building as needed without being seen by some people, and not by others who did.

The photos of Kennedy do not show a small wound in the back of the head. They are distressing for a number of reasons, not least they clearly show the back of the head has exploded out.
