"Baudrillard argued the Gulf War was not really a war, but rather an atrocity which masqueraded as a war.[1] Using overwhelming airpower, the American military for the most part did not directly engage in combat with the Iraqi army, and suffered few casualties."

So according to Baudrillard the goal of war is to have roughly even casualties, and long drawn out engagements that wither both sides?

This is a low blow, and I apologize for making it, but it is a good point.

France... the 1914 war... yep doctrinally sound.
> India needs to strengthen its relationship with Russia by any means necessary in order to have Russia in their corner as opposed to Russia being in China's corner

India is also a massive importer of energy. 30% above the price cap is still cheaper than market.

On dividing Beijing and Moscow, I think the ship has sailed. Russia is increasingly dependent on China. The leadership in Moscow is beholden to Xi in a way that has no historic comparison. If China initiated military action against India, Russia is no longer in a position to say no.

>a short film I made to explore my fascination with artificial gravity in space.

I don't like how videogames have artificial gravity in space. It's a videogame, you can reduce the gravity to zero, instead we get the same gravity as anywhere else. I feel like Fry the first time he goes to the moon in Futurama.
Understood it that way in french too.
I read that differently. Ie "project Nessie raised prices. One place where this was especially impactful was when a competitor temporarily lowered prices forcing Amazon to match, Nessie got them back up quickly"
Still, I'd rather have textual hints about layout than explicit drag-and-drop. Stuff like "boxes a1, a2, a3 should be presented sequentially" or "box b1, b2, b3 are tightly related and should be presented close to each other" and "box c is the root of its tree" and stuff like that.
While nearly all states do have some form of grand jury, only about half make a grand jury indictment a requirement for a criminal prosecution, and some of those requirements only apply to felonies.
As @vladaionescu mentioned, Earthly is alive and well. We stopped the CI product exactly so we could focus on use cases like making Earthly in GitHub Actions better.
For packages where I don't include tests, I've had at least one downstream distro maintainer request that I include tests, since at least some of them treat npm or PyPI or whatever as the source of releases.

For packages where I do include tests, I've had at least one user request that I remove tests so that the footprint of the Docker image they're building is smaller.

Both are entirely reasonable requests, but package repositories don't really provide a good way of accommodating both at the same time, for instance, by allowing a separate upload of the dev gubbins such as tests.

Much of the EU has the added problem of there simply being more old people than young people, making this issue and some others, like the pension issue, much more hopeless than they would be in countries with healthy[0] population pyramids.

Since when does a war being one-sided make it not a war? Many, perhaps even most historical wars were one-sided. What should a one-sided conflict be called? The Gulf Disciplinary Action? The Kuwait Violent Assistance?

It's just aa convoluted. I work for Workday. Having to re-enter your data each and every time is part of the enterprise tenant isolation model. There is no information sharing between tenants, especially PII. The UX suffers because of data privacy.
There is some subjectivity but the Framework is plastic+aluminium, glossy and has flex especially in the lid, and photos online show it warping when dropped.

Of all the reasons why the NPM ecosystem sucks, the compression of archives is but a side note.
If this were an HFT algo, there would absolutely be an investigation by the SEC. You cannot place orders with the intent to artificially manipulate the price. This is obviously not a regulated exchange, but the end result is similar, so I understand why it is an issue.
I see the point, but a) Canon make much more than cameras or photo-related, unlike say Nikon, and a bigger market means more players overall. There’s as many manufacturers making pro-level kit now as I recall from the 1980s, and somebody’s buying the stuff to drive the investment - I think.

I also hear you on the point about transitioning to newer tools, but would suggest that photography has always required significant personal investment in money and time, and one must sweat the assets as they say, to make them pay off. Some technologies seem more convenient, like digital, but can end up by funnelling all the effort onto fewer people, instead of throwing the film over the fence to other professionals who could do a much better and faster job of developing and printing.

Sometimes of course, the sweat and toil is all part of the product - as no doubt my mate who built his own camera made from the timber of the woods near his home would tell you - but in the modern world, most people just want to see the image as soon as they can…

> Mainstream phones today can generally be repaired commercially, even if they are devices criticized as not being self-repairable.

Doing this raises the labor cost to the point of making it uneconomical in many cases that it wouldn't be otherwise.

It also raises the parts cost (and the amount of waste), because a failed logic board that has every chip in the device soldered to it is going to cost more to replace than a card with only the bit that failed on it.

> Some of the costs of building and/or repairing a device scale linearly, and some scale exponentially.

Which ones scale exponentially? How come a Fairphone isn't dramatically more expensive than an iPhone?

> And they tend to depreciate logarithmically.

Depreciation on existing devices is precisely because they can't be upgraded or repaired. If your phone has a 3G cellular modem in it, it stops being useful as a phone when they shut down the 3G towers -- unless you can replace the modem.

Compare this to PC components that don't depreciate quickly, like a standard ATX chassis or power supply or monitor. Or an AM4 system board that could have been purchased in 2016 yet supports 2022 CPUs that could viably still be in use for five or ten more years.

And a decline in value of a component only makes the repairs more affordable. A Ryzen 7 2700X has lost half its value over 5 years, which only means that if you should need to replace one it costs half as much -- or can be replaced with a faster model in the same system.
Basically every government policy over the last 20+ years is in the direction of increasing house prices and rents.

The good news is that if every policy is currently at "increase prices", any change will result in a decrease. Surely we must be approaching the peak now, what other things could they possibly do to restrict supply / increase demand?

(I guess the climate goals leave a lot of freedom to continue tweaking)

Some of it is culture. I worked for a large F50 company pre-pandemic that was remote friendly (at least in our org) and all communication was async, all serious discussion happened on mailing lists and the internal github, ad-hoc meetings were generally discouraged.

I have joined a FAANG recently and by comparison their culture is painful for remote, despite them having 2 years to refine during the pandemic. It is slowly getting better this last year, but culturally they are still years away from being effective at remote.

For those who say Real Estate is the reason, that math doesn't add up there. Apple doesn't give a shit about 5 billion dollars in real estate that is wasted if they think it will make employees less productive. That's a rounding error on most of their products. They genuinely believe it's at worst neutral to demand RTO.
We have this problem in Canada as well, and it’s a hot discussion topic among younger generation. But I’m having a hard time convincing myself government would ever intervene since majority of people actually own their homes. Why would that portion of demographic vote against their own asset? I’m assuming it’s somewhat the same problem in other countries as well.

I’m a renter, and don’t have any plans to get into real estate market. That being said, I feel bad for people just getting out of college and looking for an apartment. If you’re not in a rent controlled unit, it’s a clown show everywhere.

That is only 16000 miles at 20mpg. The average American drives 12000 miles per year. It isn't clear over what time period this was done over, but it is only a bit over average if this is in a year.

It's intentional. If housing was cheap, land owners wouldn't reap the windfall of value appreciation, and there'd be no way to maintain a serf class.
My experience does not mirror your anecdote, quite frankly. Sometimes pairing is a pain the first time, but any car I've driven in recent memory has very workable bluetooth that connects successfully every time.

I even installed a SUPER cheap head unit in a car like 8 years ago (I literally sorted by cheapest head unit that had radio and bluetooth... it was like $35) and that was essentially bulletproof.

The only case where this tends to be a pain in the ass is if you have multiple people attempting to use the bluetooth that are frequently in the car at the same time (e.g., a couple who both use the car, and you alternate who uses the bluetooth). In that case, a dongle that is connected to USB-C power and a 3.5mm aux jack directly seems superior, since you just need to connect a single cable to both charge and run audio.
It’s no mystery that “guns and drugs on the table” crime is perpetrated by low-IQ psychopaths. I’m tired of people’s political views unleashing this group of people in my neighborhood. I would appreciate another approach.

The Amazon products are (possibly) counterfeit. I think this is less likely at Target or WalMart (as long as you avoid the third-party sellers on WalMart's site -- not sure if Target has those).
Start with googling "did crime fall during the great depression" because reputable sources will show you that no, during the first part it did not and then it only fell after recovery programs began to be put in place to put people to work. As well as noting there is going to be more correlation with property crime and poverty than with violent crime. You also have to consider confounding factors such as that in cities crime went up during Prohibition and then back down when Prohibition was repealed in 1933 which overlaps with Great Depression years.

Don't get me wrong, radical green activism saddens me. I think the vandals that recently damaged the Brandenburg Gate should not be able to avail of any get out of jail free passes, and existing laws should be strengthened to discourage eco-vandalism to the fullest. I just can't put this sort of activism and J6 side by side and say they are the same thing.
It's because housing is very expensive to build, lasts decades, and people absolutely freak-out if you plan to build any amount of housing at all.

Maybe if renting is shown to be bad for the environment or sth
Agreed but sadly all too late. I have lost all faith in this company. With all the data privacy scandals like Cambridge Analytica i will never trust this company again with my data. I would not put it past them to somehow sell the profiles from paying customers.

In principle though it sounds great. If the customers pays Meta might do something that will make them happier than the advertisers. I will wait though until they actually confirm this.

One thing looks fishy though. Why only europe? If you implement this, would you not want to role it out globally? Would you not want as many paying customers as possible? This tells me potentially that they know many people will stop using the service and they will lose users so the subscription might only recover some of the loss but not the full amount.
Yes. The Fairphone wins hands down. The cheapest iPhone has six years of remaining software updates and cost approximately $590 where I live. Thats a little more than $98 per year

Apple care+ is approximately $40 per year plus another $80 for each repair due to "accidents" (unless it's the screen or case in which case it's $30)

That's a minimum cost of $138 per year if I don't suffer any malfunctions or accidents

The Fairphone is approximately $750 with at least 8 years of support. That's a minimum cost of $93.75 per year. That means that I'd have to crack my screen every 18 months or so for the iPhone to be more price competitive. Given that I've never cracked a screen that seems highly unlikely

For the battery I can replace it every 11 months and still spend less money with the Fairphone (plus I get to keep the old battery as a backup)

Any other part breaking is a massive expense on the iPhone. Not including the screen, every spare part for the Fairphone is less than the service fee with apple care

If Fairphone ends up providing 10 years of support for the device, that just pushes the math even more in its favour

And all that is not even considering that the Fairphone comes with a 5 year warranty which would already cover any non-accident/wear+tear malfunctions
I just learned of this site today, not sure if it's any good but it's specific to remote:

They paid what they thought was the correct price. Many probably just swiped their card and thought it was a station mistake. Courts might make you pay the legitimate price for the fuel (which an honest person would agree to), but they won't call it steeling/a crime unless they can show you were the one who adjusted the price.
It seems to be a vacation ship. Who would go to one in space only to feel the same gravity as down here?
There are "graph databases" which see graphs as a universal approach to data, see RDF and SPARQL and numerous pretenders. For that matter, think of a C program where the master data structure is a graph of pointers. In a graph like that there is usually a huge number of different edge types such as "is married to", "has yearly average temperature", ...

Then there are "graph algorithms" such as PageRank, graph centrality, and such. In a lot of those cases there is one edge type or a small number of edge cases.

There are some generic algorithms you can apply to graphs with many typerd edges edges such as the magic SPARQL pattern

?s1 ?p ?o .
?s2 ?p ?o .

which finds ?s1 and ?s2 that share a relationship ?p with some ?o and is the basis for a similarity metric between ?s1 and ?s2. Then there are the cases that you pick out nodes with some specific ?p and apply some graph algorithm to those.

The thing about graphs is, in general, they are amorphous and could have any structure (or lack of structure) at all which can be a disaster from a memory latency perspective. Specific graphs usually do have some structure with some locality. There was a time I was using that magic SPARQL pattern and wrote a program that would have taken 100 years to run and then repacked the data structures and discovered an approximation that let me run the calculation in 20 minutes.

Thus practitioners tend to be skeptical about general purpose graph processing libraries as you may very have a problem that I could code up a special-purpose answer to in less time than you'll spend fighting with the build system for that thing that runs 1000x faster.

----

If you really want to be fashionable though, arXiv today is just crammed with papers about "graph neural networks" that never seem to get hyped elsewhere. YOShInOn has made me a long queue of GNN papers to look at but I've only skimmed a few. A lot of articles say they can be applied to the text analysis problems I do but they don’t seem to really perform better than the system YOShInOn and I use so I haven’t been in a hurry to get into them.
It is hard to judge ahead of time and yeah it depends on the dictionary size. It is hard to argue concretely about hypotheticals.

It would be a fun experiment to figure out the compression ratio of say the top 1000 packages given a shared brotli dictionary of X size. Just keep increases the dictionary size until you see diminishing returns.

My estimate is based on NPM packages contain a bunch of super stereotypical files that if they are used to create the dictionary likely result in amazing compression ratios: package.json, package-lock.json, CSS, Tailwind, Bootstrap .gitignore, LICENSE, .eslint, README, React/Vue/Angular code...
Or, both are deterrents but one or both can be weaker than the other depending on the perceived risk by the person committing the crime. Having multiple deterrents should be a greater deterrent as a whole across the average of potential criminals.
This would be best used as cache for standard flash or as a faster swap space for RAM. I don't think this is a replacement for either.

>If they do, then any group of people with a common set of complaints and frustrations has an ideology

I specified "internet incels" as they group together into a community online, rather than incels in the world, silently suffering. If a group of people who form a community because of a common bond remain a community for long enough, it will begin to have an ideology as most people in the group agree with certain ideas. A good example of this is black pill incels -- they believe themselves to be completely undesirable and instead of remaining hopeful, they turn to hate and try to convince other incels to "abandon any hopes of having a relationship with a woman because women are ACTUALLY the problem".

Sure, some people can come to this opinion without the help of peers egging them on, but if a group is trying to convince themselves and others of a certain idea, then that is an ideology after it remains in the community for long enough.

>apparently being frustrated that women won't sleep with you is fascism?

Reich (who the original article is about) believed the tendency toward fascism was related to the tendency to not being sexually satisfied. So in this respect, no, frustration does not equal fascism. What Reich might argue for is frustration leading one on a path to fascism, much like how hunger might lead a man on a path to highway robbery.

It's not like it's a cause so much as an observation that people who aren't satisfied in some way are more likely to seek that satisfaction somewhere else, and replacing one satisfaction for another is powerful.
