I don't know if I can summarize as what some historian said about rulers in the middle ages. But I'll take a go at it.

Question: Were rulers callous and violent or were they pious and fearful of being judged in the afterlife?

Ans: Yes.

Also I do remember a reference to an actual will by a knight who renounced his crimes and left a bunch of his wealth to charity. I think it's hard to understand how back then the system, especially for a member of the ruling class, was more like the mafia than what we experience today. As such it'd be hard for someone not to get caught up in it.

The first thing you need is a trajectory which is close to orbital for worldwide reach, so check.

The second thing you need is protection of the warhead on reentry. Kinda not check, the reentry profile of slowing down as it does makes it an easier target for counter measures. It could release a payload which is capable of reentry on its own, but Starship offers little advantage here.

Third thing you need in a "practical" sense is rapid launching. If you're using it for a mutually assured destruction counter attack, it needs to be launched within minutes, as you only have 40 minutes from enemy launch before their nukes start hitting your launch sites, including any time for command staff to give the signal. A lot less with a submarine attack. Strong not check. Starship is huge so it has a long fueling time. Additionally it has a limited time that it can be fueled and be launch ready. You could maybe use it as a first strike, but you'd have to get a large number of them all fueling at the exact same time without anyone being curious why.

Really, orbit to payload rockets and ICBM share a lot, but the specific design constraints mean there's important differences.

It's payload capacity means it could possibly launch a large number of space based weapons, which is pretty scary. However there's little reason to use it as an ICBM specifically.
A bit surprised to see a common MCU used here rather than one designed for safety applications (e.g. TMS570). Is there any rationale to this?

All the Atmos PR and descriptions talk about "objects," but they never say how those objects' sounds are separated from the others' in the datastream. How can, for example, 56 waveforms be carried independently in one stream?

The use of Atmos in music is just plain bad. How many pop recordings are actually mixed for Atmos? I can't imagine that it's as many as Apple is presenting "in Atmos" on Apple Music. So is there some post-processing BS going on, a la "Q-Sound" and other fake surround over the past few decades?

Here's an example of Atmos messing up music. It's too bad it happens, too, because the Atmos versions of songs seem to be less dynamically compressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUgfp6mFG2E

I'm a grumpy old man, and no one can ever make me care about any audio transport fancier than analog stereo. To my dismay, it's getting hard to find TVs that can even provide usable stereo output without some kind of extra decoder box or something. Luckily, last time I bought a TV, I was still (barely) able to find one that had a headphone jack, which I use as a stereo line out.

There's really no reason to deal with any code here specifically, rather than just making the result illegal and enforcing that.

I also don’t think most people realize just how much energy it uses. It is mind blowing. I remember doing some calculations a couple years ago and discovering that if you took the total energy spent on mining bitcoin per year, and divided it by the number of transactions per year, each individual transaction would use more energy than driving across the entire country from New York City to San Francisco in a Tesla Model 3.

You're right but I didn't say anything about guarantees since that wasn't really the point of the argument. Yes, you can guarantee nothing but the point of discussion was whether a forward pass would deny specific classes of computations simply because it was just a forward class. It won't.

I personally am not convinced that portable binaries are a net positive. I believe in the era of fast computers that source distribution and local compilation is superior to binary distribution. Unfortunately, much of the software we rely on is so large, and compilers so relatively slow, that binary distribution is something of a necessary evil. I'd rather see more effort towards simpler software components (that naturally compile fast) and faster compilers than portable binaries.

How about we just don’t empower a central planning body to make monetary decisions that devalue wages & salaries while inflating asset prices? QE & LIRP have literally been “rich get richer, poor get poorer: the policy”. People educated enough in finance to follow the effect tend to be in the asset-holding camp so there is less complaint.

I’m not advocating high rates as good for the poor; I’m championing shaping the yield curve with a market mechanism. It might be too late for that to be anything other than disastrous though, after years of addiction to funny money.

There is no question you're right, as far as anything I've read, but is that a matter resources - of budget (the US having an extremely large one) and of long-term investment (systems, transport, bases world-wide, training, etc.) - or is it a matter of the US being somehow particularly talented in that field?

At the same time, a war with China would likely be focused, at least, in the western Pacific. China's supply lines would be so much shorter - much of it would be in Chinese waters, the US would have to cross the Pacific ocean - than it's hard to believe the US would have a logistics advantage.

The US is working hard to preposition bases, supplies, forces, alliances, etc. But the entirety of China, for millennia, has been effectively prepositioned.

Again, the war would be disaster for all, regardless.

For what? Giving their opinion? WIV was specializing in this research. For very good reasons given that China was the source of SARS-CoV-1, and has a host of other animal populations and animal-to-human transfer scenarios (e.g. the Wuhan market where live wildlife is kept in close contact with humans for consumption) that the US does not have. Why not hire them to do what they are better able to do than any US institution?
One boring reason is cost.

If SpaceX contracts Starship for risky missions, They would need to charge premium to cover loss of scheduled business and replacement in the case of failure.

In some situations, owning a dedicated vehicle could be cheaper than repeatedly paying this premium, even if SpaceX operates and maintains it.

> because of how competition over mining rewards works, [bitcoin] has the characteristic of consuming more and more energy the more it succeeds.

New bitcoin from mining is halved every ~4 years, so every four years miners can afford to spend only half as much electricity to mine from that revenue.

As revenue from new bitcoins tapers off the work expended will self limit to the value of transactions. If you're charged 1% to include your transaction the value of energy used to mine a block will eventually not exceed the fee for including those transactions.

So it doesn't have the characteristic of consuming more and more energy and is self-limiting in how much energy is used. The bitcoin energy problem will take care of itself in time.

VLC and other PC based software has always left me with just as many problems - if not more - regarding picture quality, as well as audio. The gold standard for me - this goes for three TVs going back 12 years - has always turned out to be to use the TV's own media player app, in conjunction with a solid DNLA server.

Otherwise it's gripes over finding the ideal combination of TV picture settings AND OS display settings. The TV is an OS of it's own, of course. How does one go about tweaking two sets of settings that overlap?

So, just a long and roundabout way to say: "If you don't make trades, you don't have a business"? Or, maybe, "If you are not willing to make trades, you don't have a business"? The latter captures entities that are prepared to make trades, but have not yet done so. While the original definition rules out a 'business' that is still waiting on their first sale, I suspect that wasn't the intent.

So you're imagining President Xi and the House of Saud, I take it? As long as you aren't imagining someone like Elon Musk who is certainly accountable to his debtors and shareholders and Boards, then this can be viewed as a realistic take.

If you're talking about people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates who have giant wealth because of their investments in businesses, then arguing that they should have that wealth taken away would literally take money out of the coffers of businesses that are currently using that money for things like payroll.

The GP is correct -- these people are not sitting around on a vault of gold like McDuck. Their money is in the economy, doing stuff. That's what investments are. That's why investors exist, and why they get a cut of the profit for taking a risk and lending their money to industry.
Or maybe that the return on investment is data they can't directly commercialize. Though I guess they could auction off pieces of the moon to the highest bidder or something of the sort. But yes I think we can all agree that that money could've been better or at least far more efficiently spent, same goes for the US's colossal military budget. This is in a nutshell the whole mindset behind the EU's spending the way I see it - social programs first, science second, everything else third.
> The state is democratic, not absolute.

Laughable - the state has been growing on a one-way trajectory: ever larger, ever more powerful. It is run by bureaucrats who look after their own interests first, and who have no feedback loop between their own performance and reality.

Think about this next time you go to the DMV or have to wait in line to see a doctor or deal with some kafkaesque snarl of paperwork. Your democratic will counts for nothing in the face of limitless state power.
We have a spread of different GitHub Actions based workflows that do stuff whenever a PR is proposed or merged:

https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/tree/master/....

Most of those are oriented around building packages for various OS's (Linux, macOS, Windows) so people can try the latest code.

While there are some tests, they're more like extremely basic sanity checks and they don't use containers.

Those tests rely on whichever version of SQLite was downloaded and compiled into the GUI (as per above code snippet).

---

That being said, that's for the client side GUI application. There's a server side of things too (https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/dbhub.io -> dbhub.io) that does use containers (docker) for it's automated tests:

https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/dbhub.io/tree/master/.githu...

Those are integration tests though (eg "make sure we didn't bust communication with our cli", "make sure our go library still works 100% with the server"), and a reasonably decent set of End to End (E2E) tests of the web interface using Cypress.

In one word, externalities. Bitcoin is helping reveal that externalities have never been properly factored into electricity prices in the USA. In other words if you purchase too much electricity at market price, you're using more than your "fair share", which should be impossible in a properly functioning market.

The simple solution of course is to just tax industrial energy use properly, no matter what you're using it for. As you start using so much energy that you're putting real strain on the grid, your energy taxes should go up asymptotically to the point where if you keep paying, the government can afford to meet your energy demands with renewables construction.
In my experience, chances are that the database will outlive whatever application code is layered right on top of it.

So ensuring the database itself protects the data integrity and prevents the application code (current or a future refactor or rewrite) from messing it up, sounds to me like the sane thing to do. Be it with triggers, with functions, or whatever.

Though I can understand that people usually don't like how PL/pgSQL looks like (I don't). But if you ignore the ugly language syntax, testing it is no more difficult than testing, say, an AWS Lambda function that is triggered by SQS and writes stuff to DynamoDB.
