The only time I ever consider the powergrid in this State is summer, or a lighting strike. We don't have wide swaths going without power due to entirely predictable circumstances.

There's absolutely reasons ERCOT and Texas are blamed steadily, and it's because they refuse to interconnect with other systems and refuse to winterize.

I don't see news of people dying around here because of predictable winter storms.
Goodreads should consider putting some effort into the platform they have allowed to languish for years.
> What's the point of buying packs?

Draft is probably the best MtG style of playing.

A lot of MtG turns into pay-to-win, since the best cards of the meta inevitably cost more. Drafting on the other hand, ensures that everyone has zero-cards upon the start of the draft and have to make due with the booster-cards that come in the draft.

In many ways, drafting is cheaper. You don't have to worry about making the best deck ever... instead you just have to make the best deck given the cards you draft. Then you can sell the expensive singles after the draft.

Wish they'd just go the Steam route and only allow reviews from people who've purchased the product.

Amazon has a Verified Purchase label, but still too much noise.

> They also sell so many overpriced kits with not much going on in them (just a few pieces of paper, not enough dice, sub par instructions ). Or really expensive character toys.

For me this is the most telling part that Hasbro doesn't quite get what you're actually selling if you have a tabletop company; it's not the ruleset, that will be leaked as soon as you sell a single copy and people actually play the game. It's instead ideas and world building visions from the people who were directly involved in creating the world and rules the company tries to sell to people. People are creative, but even the best story tellers wouldn't turn their nose up at some lore to help spark creativity, long as the lore isn't needlessly restrictive.
> and it claims that it is targeting “all ships heading to Israeli ports” until food and medicine are delivered to Gaza.

Maybe we should try this obvious solution first, deliver "enough" food and medicine to people in gaza?
There are broadly 3 ways this can end:

- The Houthi rebels back down.

- The West backs down and accepts a minor rebel group disrupting global shipping .

- The Houthis get their shit kicked in.

There is technically a fourth option where the West tries but fails to enact option 3 I guess, but I doubt it. Houthi air defenses are limited to whatever old soviet SAMs they can scrounge together.

To be honest, I don't see the second option happening either. So we have options 1 and 3 left. I hope it's option 1, as there is enough war already in the world.
As if governments want to bomb the source of their power: taxpayers, and their seizeable assets.

They will do so in war as denying it to their enemy, but not with M.A.D. So ordinary people having guns has nothing to do with war, except as a deterrent.
Fined by who, and for what? What a strange comment. Why would the government police such matters?
Guns are not an assurance that you can kill more people than someone with bombs to win a slice of land, conceptually. Any number groups have an interest in a stable economy and a cooperating population. Bombs dont build or maintain infrastructure (eg farming). Guns ensure a population can manage to disrupt individual police actions. This modern guerilla gunplay has never had to become more sophisticated because of the efficacy in resisting day to day oppression (depending on your definition). The US in Vietnam, everyone in Afghanistan, Israel with Palestine. Bullets are dangerous enough to influence history, as with nuclear weapons. Same but different.
> Management worshipping at the throne of agile become really enthralled with these guys and can derail an org for years.

It exists for all software that has configuration and has a plugin system.

Think games. If I'm playing a game and I want to change the configuration to easy mode and up the resolution to wide screen I need to write a program or script to do it? No it should be a dumb setting configurable via gui.

If I want to modify a game beyond the dumb config or modify the config itself then scripts make sense. It's called mods. In games and in software with plugins, configs and scripts live side by side. It's one of the most common patterns in the world.

Additionally you're not seeing what I'm proposing here.

All configs and packages have to go through the "dumb" system. There is zero alternative. This is exactly what games do.

If you want to modify the configs then you go through the modding system. This can use the nix language.

Either way as it exists right now nix can't have a GUI for its config. If I make changes on a GUI how does the program know how to modify your config file which is a custom script that you could of wrote in a thousand different ways? It can't. You want a GUI, you need a dumb config, end of story. Unless you want nix stuck in the niche group of power users you need a GUI.

This may be controversial, but I think Microsoft was right here.

Their browser was kind of shit when it came to sticking with preexisting standards, but if it weren't for their XmlHttpRequest, who knows what the web may look like. Their security disaster of a browser helped advance the web, not to build an ecosystem or bring possibilities, but to keep their monopoly.

IE's webviews saved a lot of developers from having to write or purchase a bespoke input parsing/formatting/(de)serializing formats whenever rich media features were required. It standardised the API in a way that allowed all developers to assume support was present, similar to the way DirectX could be assumed to either be present already or be a quick install away on any recent GPU in a time when every GPU manufacturer developed their own bespoke GPU API. Plus, Microsoft was already known for its backwards compatibility for developers (well, unless you were an early web developer, I guess).

Firefox showed that the inclusion in the OS doesn't mean Microsoft gets to have a monopoly if the competition is good enough. Then Chrome came and ate Firefox's lunch.

Microsoft's mistake was probably that they were so blatant about everything. They did things because they wanted a monopoly, and weren't afraid to tell others. Google dresses themselves in lies and deceit calling everything "open" and claim they want to "advance the ecosystem" when their true goal is to hold an iron grip on the internet and the devices connecting to it. Anyone who thinks operating system vendors like Apple and Google aren't at least as evil as 2000's Microsoft has fallen for their tricks. Even Linux has this control issue; just look at IBM/Red Hat trying to prevent people from switching to alternatives, or Oracle anything.

Reviews on Amazon are heavily gamed and you should not trust them at all. I get little business cards offering gift cards for 5 star reviews regularly. Product listings get swapped for entirely different products while the review stay.
The not interconnected with neighbors was an intentional decision driven by previous degradations of QoS way back in the 50's/60's era when they were intercinnected with the coastal grids.

It's downright shocking the difference in frequency between power losses I experienced on the regular in Texas vs. what my out of state family experience. I started keeping track of it a couple years ago. My family can have dozens of sporadic outages in a span of time with 100% uptime for me in TX. Smaller, less interconnected networks can be a godsend. Hell, it's a lesson that's immortalized in our interstate highway system.

...Then again, I suppose that there's the case to be made that more frequent outages keep your response teams sharp. There is a drop off among Operations people whereby knowledge tends to end up getting forgotten when too much time passes between completion of repeated periodic tasks.

I consider “but ordinance” a red herring. One need only observe the recent history of US military adventurism to show that a sufficiently determined insurgency with light arms and minimal training can take literally decades to surpress even with probably numerical superiority.

The US government is unlikely to carpet bomb its own territory even after hypothetically sliding into tyranny because it would presumably want territory to rule afterwards. What is left is intense urban fighting which we’ve seen in Iraq or wilderness fighting in poor terrain like Afghanistan. It doesn’t end quickly so the cost is a deterrent.
Currently they only disrupt shipping to Israel, or linked to Israel, as far as I understand.

Indiscriminate targeting/disruption would raise eyebrows in Beijing and I am sure Iran does not want that.

Google AI system proves over 1200 mathematical theorems (2019)
First I would say most organizations aren’t optimizing for anything. They’re accounting constructs.

Second, however clumsily done, this is what equity incentives are supposed to achieve. The better you do, and its impact on the actual value of the company, the more your equity is worth. There are obvious problems in the model, but at least it’s slightly deeper thinking than the typical “you get paid don’t you?” model.

Wall Street, particularly front office revenue production, has very much a “you get paid proportional to the impact of your work” model. Often times when I worked in trading my total compensation could be many times my base salary (which while more than a teacher was less than say Amazon’s base salary). The problem though is the “impact” of one’s work can be manipulated by bias or short term acting, or worse what’s called trader option, where you take outsized risks assuming if it blows up and you get fired you can just work elsewhere, but if it doesn’t you make a lot more. But your firm carries the most risk because while your upside is uncapped your downside is capped - but your firms downside is not.

Maybe start with showing reviews that are verified or somehow legitimate. There is a problem on both ends of inflating and bombing titles.

I personally cannot stand the former where publishing teams will buy or fake mass amounts of reviews to play into the NYT bestseller formulae.

It is fairly easy to tell an ad hominem in a "review bomb" in my experience. Usually it relates around politics or something controversial rather than the actual thing itself.

Show HN: Get any piece of Google Earth as a single normalized glTF 3D model
Google released an API in May to get fetch 3D Tiles of anywhere on Earth. Using this in standard 3D engines like Blender is tricky because (1) the tiles are in a geographic coordinate system (2) you get a lot of little tiles at varying quality levels

I wanted to simplify this so all you need to do is get an API key, select a map region and a zoom level, and get one combined glTF file that you can throw into any engine. Especially if you're just prototyping and want to see how this data looks in your engine before investing in figuring out all the nuances of the API & coordinate system.

(Note that the API prohibits offline use, as in you can't distribute a processed glTF file like this. But you can do this preprocessing in memory whenever you're fetching tiles).
Now you can add a prefix/suffix to a counter!
There is a 4th way people funding and directing them get a to learn a lesson.
I feel like your second point should maybe address the Houthi's demands? Which to be precise were an end to the blockade of Gaza.

Regardless of which way you lean in this story, I still find it disingenuous to hide what the demands of parties of conflicts are - any conflict to be precise. Whether it is intentional or not does not matter in my opinion.
This is spot-on, and I upvoted it.

Another indicator is the rate of citizen un prisons. The laws on gun ownership doesn't prevent the US government to have high rate of citizens incarcerated [1]. On the other hand, US is a state of law, and in theory, US incarceration does not come from oppression but from justice and written laws [2]. Now even though gun ownership might be one way to garanty that US remains a state of law, it is not obvious that it is the only way. If US was not a state of law, I would not be comfortable that GAFAM companies gets their own armies, as in the funny dystopian novel Jenifer Government [3].

I was ignoring the details on how SRAM works in favour of thinking about it physically. Most of those details just affect the average cell size at the end of the day.

The other physical aspect we’re dealing with is propagation delay and physical distance. That’s where the library analogy really shines: if there’s a minimum size to a book and a minimum size of you (the person doing the research) this corresponds roughly to minimum cell sizes and minimum wire pitch, so you’re ultimately limited in the density you can fit within a given volume.
Do you for real suggesting the Iran is carrying this out because they care for people of Gaza?
Evolution is what gives nature meaning. By bringing more tourists you endanger those animals to die. The best for them would be to create as many natural reserves as possible.

The universe does not give a fuck about your appreciation, it cares (a little, little bit) about your carbon footprint, or you leaving the animals alone. They already have it quite difficult.
The problem with 3 is global radicalization. Attempts to suppress populations can only work with the ability to convince the population to take your side; in the case of large scale bombing campaigns, the result is more radicalization and an increase in attacks elsewhere.

Nope. I am saying like other Texas government services, they all share immunity. If you want that to change then you change the law that covers it.

In the case of ERCOT I am less interested in lawsuits but how we change the rules going forward. Do we want to introduce language about emergency power. Have we worked out a fix for not killing power to the natural gas wells? The governor appoints member to the org that ERCOT reports to. I don’t like him but enough voters do that we won’t get change there.

You realize that when you discourage people from subscribing, you're hurting one of the few forces for good in this story.

As ive said in other comments, I think the their power is foundationally based on propaganda. I think censorship resistant methods of communication and other cypherpunk tools are probably more relevant in the day to day of fighting government overreach; I just think guns are something of a prerequisite for that process to work. Yes, there is always the possibility that the government starts nuking citizens for challenging their power, which is why it is important that any revolution takes place peacefully.

I wouldnt suggest anyone willingly enter an armed conflict with the government for a variety of reasons. For example, you are likely being played, after Maos revolution all the revolutionaries got sent to the hills to be worked to death. Another one would be your own information horizon being manipulated, youve just walked into Gretchen whitmers office thinking there is a huge militia ready to follow in your footsteps, you only need to light the match! Violence sucks, blood calls for more blood and errodes the social fabric; there are USSR officials still collecting pensions in exchange for getting out of the way. Or we could get nuked.

So yes, it does require some more forethought than "weve got guns so we are just going to fight the government", however there already exists an understanding of this, evidenced by the fact that they are only catching the mentally stunted in entrapment schemes.
That would confirm viability of the attackers strategy. They already are risking their life for this, they have no incentives to stop once their demands are fulfilled. In some ways that makes it now impossible to deliver food and medicine because that may be seen as a Houthi victory…
Exactly. This issue isn't that dissimilar from Somali pirates attacking ships in the same region: at first it was "mildly annoying" to the West at large, but ransoms were generally paid. Then it escalated to the point where the West basically said enough, and brought sufficient firepower to deter the pirates.

Sorry but have you read the news lately? Because the attacks have been rather indiscriminate, EVERY big shipping company is now refusing to sail their ships through the Red sea and by extension cannot use the Suez canal anymore. Rather, they have to take the long way around Africa now. This adds a lot of extra cost and shipping delay.
