That's only true if you look at the data from 2020 onwards. In reality coal usage for electricity, regardless of type, peaked years ago and never recovered:

They know just enough to enable the corporation's strategic incompetence whenever the situation calls for it.
I think there's a broad conception that businesses exist not just as a vehicle to earn money for their owners, but as a component of society at some scale. That a store is not merely a collection of goods, but a cultural touchstone, as the stores we visit and the goods we consume are the majority of our culture. As those goods vanish or are perverted, or as those stores shutter or become something different, there is a sense of grief and betrayal -- of a member of the community going away or breaking our trust. This doesn't align with any reasonable view of a collection of shares reflecting ownership components of a company selling overpriced soap. But I think this view of the world, of large corporations as society fixtures, explains why so many corporations are expected to "behave well", and why people are mad when they don't.

It’s trying to solve the social issue of ‘omg react!’ videos and random reshare clips through technical means (proving the clip isn’t original).

Which it won’t. Eventually might be relevant when in a context where someone actually stops and spends time looking at evidence (civil and criminal court cases perhaps?) but those already use chain of custody for evidence because evidence has already been easy to fake for… well forever.

Still should be done IMO though, as it’s cheap and easy and will hopefully make it a little harder (or easier to detect) to do mass faking in the ‘middle’ - like fake IDs for online services, fake blackmail photos, etc.
Germany does. The situation is less clear cut than what it seems like from the sister comment, but in general, a police officer is legally prohibited from even using a gun unless the situation does not allow for any other means. This can also mean shooting a person to prevent their escape, but even that is only legal in certain circumstances.

Using LETHAL force has even stronger guards on it. Germany itself has no legal grounds for this AT ALL, as far as I know. Some states have a clause in their Police Laws that specifically mention a "Finaler Rettungsschuß" (final saving shot), which is a shot that would kill with "almost certain probability", and it is only allowed if there is no other way for the officer to save themselves or others from significant harm (see quote from law below). The exact legal situation differs between states, but even Bavaria, which has been widely critiqued for its liberal police law, only allows for the final saving shot:

"2) Schußwaffen dürfen gegen Personen nur gebraucht werden, um angriffs- oder fluchtunfähig zu machen. Ein Schuß, der mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit tödlich wirken wird, ist nur zulässig, wenn er das einzige Mittel zur Abwehr einer gegenwärtigen Gefahr für Leib oder Leben einer Person ist."

See https://www.gesetze-bayern.de/Content/Document/BayPAG-83

EDIT: The amount of deaths by police in Germany reflect this. In 2019, 62 shots have been fired by police officers on people. 15 were lethal, 30 people were injured.

I never understood the appeal of docker-compose (you can accomplish roughly the same thing by having a Shell script that calls docker client, but skipping the Python clown fiesta with dependencies, environments etc.)

Quadlets seems not exactly a replacement for the function docker-compose was supposed to perform though, or am I wrong? It seems like its target audience is administrators who are supposed to run containers as systemd services (questionable choice, but probably there are people who want that)...

What am I missing?

Thanks for the kind words. A LOT of the Flagsmith design and approach was built around solving problems that our consulting clients had (basically big UK blue chips doing cloud transformation).

Starting with an agency can be a bit like enabling cheat mode in many ways.
I never understood the appeal of AirBnB. All these points about having a kitchen or living room to hangout sounded negative to me. But someone finally explained. It is vacation vs travel.

I’m a vacationer, I don’t want to deal with parking, cooking food, cleaning the place. On vacations, I just want to relax and probably spend as much time out doing things as possible. When tired and not sleepy, I rather hangout in hotel lobby or by pool.

Travelers want to experience new places like locals. So AirBnB appeals to them because they can do grocery shopping in local stores, experience different parts of city that normal tourists don’t.

> the rational number don't have the concept of the 'next' number either. Yet the rationals are Countable.

That's literally the same thing. What is counting if it isn't being able to say what the next thing is? Do you have a mapping to integers or not? If so, then every n has n+1.

I know it was more complicated, but jaza had the essence of it. Without what they observed the whole thing falls apart. Yeah, it still needs proof, but I'm pretty sure five other comments went there.

> So to write our the irrationals you have an infinite number of strings, where each string is also infinitely long, while with the rationals you have an infinite number of strings, but each string is finite.

You've set the table but forgotten the feast! You're missing the step where you demonstrate that there's a number that isn't in this list. (Hint: think diagonally.)

This is roughly my startup's goal, slow bootstrapping with no VC cash. We also started as an "agency tool" that I built for my business partner. Over time we realized "hey, other folks in the space could use this too". It's been about a year and a half since we came to that realization and were prepping to go live in the next few weeks.

I'm really excited for what will happen next year but I'm also have to manage my expectations, and always tell myself "there's no guarantee this will work". The only silver lining to this is also knowing that because we're not taking VC cash and have a low burn, we have more time than most to "figure it out" before the thing goes bust.
> This again?

You're talking about something that has been ruled by two courts as a massive first amendment violation, and is heading to the Supreme Court (if they even want it), as if it were a conspiracy theory.

And what political point are you even talking about, where do you learn to use this tone about serious issues, and why the fixation on celebrities like Musk?

> The trouble, perhaps, is that the only ways of measuring performance tend to be financial.

An other strategy would be to place a financial value on "trust". That should be too hard, since brands already have financial value tied to them.
It's much easier if you also have paying consulting clients to bring in revenue alongside the bootstrapped project.

>EMP ran to thousands of amps, damaged at least 570 km of telephone lines, 1000 km of buried power lines, and caused the destruction of the Karaganda power plant.

A 300kt blast at 290km was able to induce 1.5 to 4.5kA in the unshielded power line buried underground at 2m, over the area hundreds of kilometers across. Imagine what it could do to the areas that are a bit more populated than Kazakh steppes in 60's.

So yeah, while the nuclear EMP is probably not going to be used as a primary weapon in a global nuclear strike as you said, it's not a huge stretch for one of the warheads to be dedicated for the EMP over some large but less important area, not necessarily as a decapitating strike, so preparing for it makes sense. Besides, there would be at least local EMPs in the area after the "ordinary" nuclear strike, which can be really disabling if unprepared for.

"Another comment, more on-topic: it may surprise some to learn that the ‘crane’ or ‘claw’ games in arcades and rest stops are also games of chance, not games of skill. They are programmed with the value of their prizes, the cost to play, and the operating margin the operator would like to have. The machine handles the decision of who wins, when."

It wouldn't surprise me a little bit if it was true, since it's almost impossible to get any prize using those cranes, but if it is in fact true, it should definitely be illegal. When I see a game in the style of these crane games, I and pretty much everyone believes it is a "game of skill", and if you just get the crane in the right position, it would be able to get your prize. Down here in Brazil those machines are everywhere.
The tough thing to about bootstrapping for people working in BigTech is opportunity cost. Assuming you do not work on your startup while working your full time job, the revenue you'd have to hit to justify the effort is generally just too high. Considering even this post: if you had a team of ex-BigTech consisting of just 4 people, collectively they were probably making at least a million assuming they were all located in a HCOL area in United States and were mid-level. Making 1.5ARR wouldn't be worth it considering that there would've been a long period of no revenue.

In a sense it's better to be broke because the opportunity cost is lower and incentive is higher. Golden weights slow you down. This is why most BigTech founders want VC money to make the reward potentially bigger and justify the effort.

On the other hand, if you make a lot of money - some types of bootstrapped companies are slow burn and you can subsidize yourself and just wait until it surpasses your income, but it's hard to have a healthy life balance.

I looked into what you meant about their "conspiracy-theory-friendly article history":

> People don’t trust the news media, and it’s easy to see why. Major news media organizations reported inaccurately that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. They dismissed as a “debunked conspiracy theory” the real possibility that COVID-19 could have escaped from a lab. And they have perpetuated misleading narratives around everything from rainforest destruction to biological sex to crime.

> In our short history, we have broken major stories, including on: wind industry threat to North Atlantic Right Whales; government censorship of Facebook; the origins of COVID-19; the cover-up of the origins of COVID-19; the Censorship Industrial Complex; UFO/UAP whistleblowers; the World Economic Forum; San Francisco’s illegal drug consumption site; the Twitter Files and the FBI; and Paul Pelosi’s alleged attacker.
They could freeze all NSO assets in Spain, prohibit payments to the NSO group, designate them as a terrorist organization. But the Spanish government also needs their services to spy on jorunalists and Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, so I guess they'll let it pass.

It could also be related to the fact that conventional weapons trade and arms have been around for a very long time. Therefore control mechanisms and rules of engagement have been set. Where as, cyber weapons are quite new and from my pov not limited in any way.

Does anyone know if the sale of a cyber weapon produced in the US can be sold outside to a foreign actor without government approval?

If they can be sold, I suppose that’s one other factor at play here.
I thought this might be Hacker News worthy due to method Bungie used to obtain judgment - primarily copyright claims against the Graphical UI cheating software used, if I understand matter correctly, which feels like a massive over-reach.

2) We're not in the NN system as it was repealed so the implicit idea in your post that the current system is from NN is false.

3) We wouldn't need NN though if we actually had anti-trust enforcement; zero-rating is a monopolistic practice. It's akin to having preferential treatment on rail lines so consumers can't get other's goods as easily.

The most popular movie today is not ten years old. They have made movies since The Avengers.

And it refuses to confess that eggs can actually melt, both for GPT3.5 and GPT4, via ChatGPT or via the API.
