excellent in theory - yet California PG&E repeatedly and over decades refused to release documentation that was required by law, and also other documentation that was not required by law. PG&E was later convicted of Murder One for negligance in a directly related incident.

Where exactly does this "good governance" theory lead when government is captured like this over decades? There is no new perfect government available to run this setup. Government can collect information and then what?
Something that was never clear to me at this level of detail is how a tailwind enables an airplane to move faster. In other words, if the airflow is coming from behind, the lift equation should fall apart and the airplane should fall out of the sky.

OpenAI says New York Times 'hacked' ChatGPT to build copyright lawsuit
Ok but you're cherry-picking companies with the benefit of hindsight on dotcom, but not on 2024-AI. What about like Lycos, Pets.com, Yahoo, Palm, or companies that still exist but I'm not sure where they sit relatively without checking like MicroStrategy or IBM? And maybe Nvidia will do 50x over the next 24 years, but will Applied Materials, or Meta, or whatever else you might pick?

> Traffic doesn't cost money.

Mostly false. Either transit is billed on a 95th%ile basis (so...more money for more traffic), or if it is flat/netted, you're still paying for the capex for the switch ports (fatter connection to support more traffic means more $$$ for the gear to support it).

I think that depends. One of the advantages that the jdk offers is jit. I haven't seen the inside of netflix, but I am guessing it is similar to other big tech companies where they have a large portion of there instances on all the time, and receiving a lot of traffic. This can be an advantage for the jit.

I think there is a great ecosystem for building large systems with go (check out cncf for a ton of go projects targeting the cloud), but a lot of big tech companies open source their java frameworks, tools, and systems. If you are looking for something really specific there may not be an equivalent in go.

I think go is great, and it is close enough for me to continue to choose it for this kind of work.

At least one of the effects in the video (different wavelengths responding differently going through a clear object) is shown much better with this type of video.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Light_di...

The red (long) wave lengths only get bent a little bit. The purple (short) wave lengths get bent a really large amount.

The video linked is basically simulating something like a red lightbulb (750 nm) and a purple lightbult (375 nm) shining through a glass lens simultaneously. See this article on lenses and lens phenomena:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

Or, simply go try this optics simulator, which gives a much better ability to play around with the ideas. The link shared should go to an example that's almost the same.

Don't turn the rays up to much though or it will cripple your GPU unless its high end. Color simulation can be turned on/off on the upper-right settings (it's a huge resource hog compared to no color effects).
Lift-off: The MDN Curriculum launch
I think to most people on the internet in the early 2000s, it was unthinkable that content on the major platforms would be censored based on political content. I don’t think there is any evidence for that, it’s more of a general feeling, and the fact that political censorship took off in the next decade.

If these platforms had started out censoring particular political content, they would not have had the same mass adoption, or there may have been more free-speech competitors.
One of my peeves on Disney+ on Roku, is scrolling down to ~third row for Continue Watching, takes another 3 seconds to load that list while I stare at the silhouette thumbnails or whatever.

> Social media has done nothing but harm its users

Nothing? I don't think it's that cut and dry. While there has been harm, no doubt, there has been a lot of positives too (maintaining connections, thoughtful conversations, etc).
I don't think it's difficult, if you're working inside the run-time.

The difficulty is getting the behaviors if you're outside of the run-time, writing writing FFI bindings, where you don't have the option of hacking in new ownership behaviors into the target objects, and your FFI may be lacking in expressiveness also.

If it's a bad problem for a certain kind of object, and that object is relatively important (lots of people want to use bindings for it), the way to go may be a lower level extension module rather than FFI, or a wrapper library around it which is more amenable to FFI.
The plane is just up in the air moving relative to the air around it, it doesn't care how the air it's in is moving relative to the ground.

A tail wind is just saying that the air is moving in a certain direction with respect to the ground (the same direction the plane is flying). The plane doesn't give a shit about that.
It's pretty interesting that many airfoils used in aircraft design were derived by NACA in the 1920s and 1930s [1]. You'd think that with modern computer software it would be possible to design better airfoils, but apparently, those shapes have already been mathematically perfected by hand and by experiment. So nowadays if you want to design a plane you can just look up the desired NACA airfoil from a table based on the speed, air pressure, etc that you require.

RX definitely requires some non-standard thinking to do well, but any competent engineer can get it if they want to dedicate the time to it.

But you're right, the same things can be accomplished in other ways with less up front effort. But where it really shines is when you hit massive scale. Having RX and its concepts in place ahead of growth makes the growth easier.

Yes airplanes have to travel faster (in terms of ground speed) to not stall. This is why head winds are preferred for landings and take offs as it allows ground speed to be lower. But during cruise you want a tailwind to reduce the amount of drag for a given ground speed.

My layman understanding would be that you're not gaining anything other than a more abstract model. If you want performance, the code is going to boil down to the equivalent linear algebra + quaternion operations.
Ideally, as a result of the post-mortem, the same mistake shouldn't even be repeatable, because mechanisms should be introduced to prevent it.

How exciting. I'm a huge fan of ants and I didn't know about AntWeb. Insects tend to be harder to find identification resources for than spiders, which is what I spend more time on. However, this site seems to exceed any individual digital resource I know of for spiders.

Not anymore, as it is quite a while I bought them. After all, it was just a P/N. Given that we had a full blown lab doing samples for all raw materials we bought to make sure tze alloy, heat treament and other properties were correct, yes, it definetly was different alloys. Quite a few actually.

Depends on the actual use case of course: requirements for safety critical parts are higher than for less critical parts, say part connecting rotor blades to the rotor head had higher requirements than the door handle (both which were actual titanium in one case, and please don't ask why a door handle would be titanium to begin with...).

Generally so, to come back to your question:

I remember three different titanium alloys with different heat treatment we used back then. And at least five different alumium alloys. The Titanium ones were primarily aerospace, and export controlled depending in which form you bought it. And one particular steel alloy, not aerospace specific but also export controlled because it was dual use.
I think the market has shown that growth is the solution rather than rationing.

I don't think RUD suggests self-destruction. It even suggests the opposite, because having a self-destruction system involved means the explosion wasn't entirely "unscheduled". Indeed, SpaceX describes the lower stage explosion, which wasn't caused by the flight termination system, as a "RUD", but not the upper stage explosion, which was caused by the flight termination system.
No one starts a war for bullshit reasons.

As a painter, this is both amusing and terrifying to read.

There are simple ways to conceptualize color mixing, for example the primary model, or HSV. Of course, those are models, so they don't capture everything, as mentioned ITT (e.g. transparency, lightfastness, texture, potency, price) but they're practically good enough.

For example, in a primary (+white) setting, a given mix can only:

- not have enough red

- not have enough blue

- not have enough yellow

- not have enough white

So the only questions one can ask is: "does it need more red/yellow/blue/white?", period. If one has more than those 4 colors, then the trick is to understand them in terms of red/blue/yellow/white: one is then left again with those 4 questions.

I've found HSV more practical than RYB, but people are generally accustomed to RYB, hence why I've described it instead; the general idea really is the same: only a small, finite number of mistakes.

It's simple, but it still requires a few hours of practice until it becomes intuitive, especially with "real world" pigments.

If it's $5/user/month, with 3 plans, with add-ons and it's unclear how many people you have to on board (just devs? Maybe business too? Does security team need access?) it's much harder discussion as nobody knows final cost (apart from the fact that we're not gonna like it in the long run).

Yes, there are pendants that are supposed to keep the wire above the deck, but the short space between the F-35C main landing gear and the tail hook point means that there's not enough time for the pendants to raise the wire above the deck in the manner that the original (erroneous) wire dynamics model would have suggested.

That sounds like a better solution, IMO - at least for those that are two small to pay but growing by the seat of their pants can still use and promote the software.

We are not referring to the same thing, I think. You're looking at the tax for corporates when I'm looking at individuals [0]. The key seems to be that it's has to be exceptional and not regular. I'd still double-check on a case by case basis with the tax bureau before going ahead, but I've found them to be helpful in the past.

It does make sense for niches like these to exist, otherwise you'd end up having to setup a legal entity before being on the receiving end of a transaction as an individual.
