A strategic deterrent needs to be targetable and scalable. Biological and chemical weapons don't have this property. Before nuclear, strategic deterrence meant maintaining a massive standing army and navy. This was very expensive and also difficult to scale due to the logistical footprint, so most countries could not maintain it very long. There is also the issue that the economic cost of strategic deterrence is relatively much higher for smaller countries.

What changed with nuclear is that you could maintain a credible and scalable strategic deterrent indefinitely at a tiny cost compared to maintaining conventional forces at an equivalent level of deterrence effect.

It is not the same. One is designed to incentivize a behavior (come around more/earlier), the other is designed to reduce the behavior by disincentivizing it (don't come around when we're busy).

While I actually like surge pricing in situations like a natural disaster or New Years Eve (e.g., gets more drivers/suppliers on the road), as proposed by Wendy's it's a very poor anti-pattern.

One is a loss-leader, the other is not.

Releasing the filters. Which can be disastrous in certain situations. I am a very slow thinker always slow on come backs and even slow in video games, anecdotally I was talking to a friend about this the other day how he is able to have `Natural Talent` the way his brain is wired to be quick on his feet in words and strategy.

if I had to analyze the way my brain works in communication (I have been diagnosed Autistic) it would be something like: checking my surroundings => filter check => no good => return to start until appropriate outcome/reaction is most likely to occur. I could make a flow chart about it. However when it's raw input, say a reaction to something dangerous I let my brain do it's thing avoiding hazardous situations (Environments, Automobile wrecks, etc...)
Why would it be on the vendor to enforce the government to follow the law?
Some days on the lift, I feel this way too. "Why am I still doing this? Sit on the chair, slide down the mountain, queue up at the bottom, repeat."

Then I go blazing down the hill, or spend time challenging myself with speed in the trees or catching up on all the freestyle stuff I never learned as a kid, and I forget all about the repetitive tedium of life.

Until I sit back down on the lift.
Gravity. Same as how space probes gain energy from a planet when they "slingshot" past. But this is two planets closer in mass/speed so the energy transfer is less profound.
I have no background in pedagogy, but I've never understood the point of timed, high pressure tests, especially for children. You really just want to know the child has mastered the material such that they can solve the problems correctly--why is it necessary for them to do them in under 30 seconds, or whatever the bar is? If one kid gets the test done in 20 minutes and the other one takes 2 hours, but they both get the questions right, why does it matter?
My usual workflow with archive files (that I've just downloaded) is clicking the file in my browser's download list to open it and then extracting it. In WinRAR, the extraction path is pre-filled to be "<archive directory>/<archive name>", and there is an option to automatically open this folder after extraction. 7-Zip doesn't have this, so I'd need to manually add the archive name to the extraction path and then separately browse to it. Granted, if you browse to the archive and right click it, 7-Zip does have an option to extract to an "<archive name>" folder (though this still doesn't automatically open it afterwards), but that's an unnecessary extra step.
Are you sure? TFA states "HD 110067 is viewed edge on from Earth", which doesn't sound like what you're describing. Of course they could have made a mistake; I don't know either way.
I don't think most developers care about the flashiness of the website, and in some cases I think it's off-putting. Like the sandwich menu, that could (should) be a menu across the top of the screen. You've got that (massive and wasteful) bar up there with nothing on it except a logo and a sandwich menu, and then when you use the menu it takes up as much vertical space as possible (the entire screen, plus some). That means it was designed solely for phones, and that turns me off for reasons I'm struggling to put into words. Like it's not in the right "realm" of software.

Is it even open source? I noticed you have a GitHub, but all the things on your GitHub are only tangentially related to the main program. Just a bunch of CI/CD stuff and whatnot. I might be wrong, but I can't see any way in heck a bunch of developers are going to choose a proprietary password manager. This alone makes me think you've totally locked your product out of this demographic.

Overall I get a product vibe from it. Makes me feel like it's designed to generate profits for a company, I mean you even have a customer testimonials page for crying out loud! I'm pretty sure everyone has realized by now that customer testimonials are just a bunch of brainwashing bullshit, and nobody with an IQ over 7 would fall for them. The security page, which literally has a heading that says "security productized", seals the deal for me, I'm too scared to try it now.

Speaking of security, it doesn't mention whether it's self-hosted or a cloud platform (or maybe I just missed it). Personally, and a lot of other devs are like this too, I absolutely refuse to use a security service that's hosted on the cloud. A password manager should always allow storing locally without any cloud shenanigans.
Well, you made a worthwhile comment that triggered an interesting discussion, which luckily I had some knowledge about. I simply brought up new information to you. I don't perceive anything wrong.

I work in data and I'm french, so Mistral.ai has been on my radar a little more maybe. I was familiar with this memo before Mistral even released their first model. It was discussed a lot in France as this was the base for their first seed round that gave them 100 million euros in investment.

It's an argument for going straight to small claims court.

If you're at the absolute bottom of the market in terms of price and quality then your sales are probably somewhat inelastic. Especially if people have to buy your product or a similar product.

It's the same reason why prices keep going up at the grocery store. Those companies know you're going to buy groceries anyway and most people are going to buy the name brand instead of the store brand.

Where McDonald's runs into trouble is if their prices get so high that you might as well just go to a sit down restaurant instead. Five Guys and Smashburger are getting pretty close to that territory especially with the tipflation added onto their already high prices.

The other risk for McDonald's is that somebody else will try to replace them as the replacement level[0] restaurant. If your customers are choosing you because you're the cheapest and fastest restaurant then you can't afford to have a competitor undercutting you on price or speed. That's why it's so surprising to me[1] that McDonald's would be raising their prices aggressively. Even if they improved the food quality dramatically, they're not going to be able to move their brand up market because their existing reputation is well established.

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_over_replacement_player (McDonald's is basically the restaurant equivalent of this baseball analytics concept)

[1]: I virtually never eat at McDonald's so I was completely unaware that they've been jacking up their prices. I don't even know where my local McDonald's is without checking Google Maps.
Not mentioned are FAA rules on night flights, flight out of line-of-sight, flying drones commercially (licensing required) etc. So this could end up being federally illegal no matter what PA decides.
The should just add a DEI slider with values from 0 to 100 and initialized to 50 and adjust the system prompt based on what the user selects. If someone screams to high heaven that gemini is too woke then reply with their DEI slider setting and say "well you had it turned up to 100". If someone screams Gemini is biased and unfair then the reply would be "you turned the DEI slider to 0".

Make the user be the one responsible for the behavior.
Alternatively follow my method: have a repulsive personality. That way people avoid you - and the problem is solved.
Apple is selling Vision Pro all wrong
> C/C++ can be made memory safe.

In theory, in small toy projects or with a massive NASA budget - Yes. In any other project, with normal (aka too short) time constraints and average skilled developers, it’s not.

35 years of trying, has proven us humans that, several times over.
In the microcontroller space, I think Zig is more of a replacement for C/C++. It's a compiled language, intended to produce optimized code that hits cost/performance targets.

Micropython and friends are well-suited for education/hobby use, protoptyping, and maybe some commercial applications that aren't sensitive to cost or realtime characteristics. But since they don't really compete with C/C++, they also don't really compete with Zig.
Plenty of countries have better (faster and/or cheaper) broadband options than most of the US, without having any Google involvement. Competition (or government enforced requirements and price caps) are what's needed, Google Fiber had a bit more of an incentive than most for aiming to undercut their competitors but ultimately I think you're overstating their importance.
Third Base (ternary notation for computing) (2001)

This website keeps making the claim that it's a ransomware attack, but neither the original tweet nor Epic's response seem to back that up. Looks like a run of the mill data exfiltration to me.

Also this website has the most insane cookie consent flow I've seen yet. Shameful.
That's certainly a potential follow up hypothesis. Surely this study can be improved, but conversely not every study has to answer every question or be perfectly ecologically valid before it is worthy of publication. For all its faults, the scope of these results is clear, and worth discussing. The authors have a hypothesis - women visually assess scenes differently to men when in the context of walking through them - and have chosen an operationalization that, while not literally strapping an eye tracker to someone while they walk through campus, is a reasonable proxy for it within the time, budget, and technology constraints of the research group. This effort has produced a clear result. Future studies can now be developed that improve the design methodologically and ecologically and dig into alternatives and further nuances.
In theory, there should be bipartisan support for this. Republicans say they love small business, bringing back manufacturing, self-sufficiency - and they also prefer adjusting policy via tax incentives rather than direct spending.
"Creating archives in RAR 4.x format isn't supported anymore."

:/
Yaak Desktop adds gRPC support
The unrar cli is published under a source-available license that you can't use it to build a rar compressor. So using knowledge from reading that might be fair game for building a rar decompressor, especially if you follow the usual clean-room protocols (one person reads the code and writes documentation, the other reads the documentation and writes new code).

Not sure how that will affect winrar in the long term. Of course people now aren't forced to download software to open rar files. But it also makes it much more viable to send .rar files to random people. And actual Winrar still offers you a lot of features that Windows doesn't have and seems to be a lot faster, so there are still plenty of reasons for power users to use it.

Personally I own a winrar license primarily for its features when creating archives, and Windows isn't encroaching on that.
Banks aren't much better either.

But when the gold rush is reaching a newly-discovered lode, at the end, there's real new gold!

That they both eventually exhaust doesn't make them the same; one is fumes, the other involves a real expansion in the stock of usable resources.

People's cynicism here has them ignoring real enduring positive shocks in the economy – even though that's been the nonstop history of our tech industry. A few suppliers transient stock valuations may be, at times, a 'bubble'. But the fundamental (& irreversible advances) in AI technology aren't the bubble.
If it is just a content website then maybe yes. Cloud complexity probably won’t worth it.

Still I can think of a corporate blog, and you have employees come and go then it became a problem even for a small website. Otherwise an angry admin can deface your website and damage your reputation.

All other things like secure net won’t apply for a small website, of course.
I've always liked this model for my own projects. However, I'm not sure it really builds trust, especially from a security standpoint. Open sourcing could mean more eyes on the code, potentially leading to better security through community audits. Yet, it also means exposing the inner workings to everyone, including those with malicious intent. A hosted version does offer a layer of professional oversight, which is reassuring, but I wonder about the implications for users who opt for the self-hosted route. How would you ensure they feel confident in the security and reliability of the software, knowing that they have the same access to the code as anyone else?

I would love to hear more thoughts on balancing these aspects to build and maintain trust with users.
> In democracy you can also abstain.

Not really. You can abstain from voting but not from paying taxes. And if you abstain from voting you will still will be subject to the authority of whoever get's elected and it will probably not be in favor.

> In the market for food, shelter and clothing it's not possible without serious harm to your health.

You can grown, build and craft your own. It's not always practical but you have those options. e.g. I cook my own food and grow produce in the backyard. And we all have way more and better options for food, shelter or clothing than we have for president, governor or mayor.

> Also vote costs you nothing and oa the same for all people and your voting power in the market is directly proportional to how much money you can spend.

I don't know in which world do you live but that just ain't true. Elections are super expensive. In Brazil public funding for political parties is a 10-digits figure. Money win elections. Rich rent-seekers "donate" massive amounts to candidates legally and illegally to later receive favors.

> It's not similar. At all.

Free market is the purest form of democracy. Representative democracy is garbage.
As the article points out there are metros where Kroger and albertsons are close to a duopoly. We dont have walmart in my area, only option other than kroger or albertsons is target or aldi, neither of which are really competing with the traditional grocery store business kroger/albertson run.
> Was it EUV? Was in X-ray lithography? Something else? Intel seemed unable to commit.

Per the book Chip War, Intel put a lot of money into EUV (going back to the late 1990s):

Per the book, and other sources:

> Intel seemed primed to dominate the chip industry as it transitioned into the era of Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV). The company had played a pivotal role in the development of EUV technology, with Andy Grove’s early investment of $200 million in the 1990s being a crucial factor.

> Have you had different experiences, or can you think of a specific scenario where this wouldn't be the case?

Yes, I've looked at lit-up objects at night and not been able to see very well behind them. If you need a light to see the deer, you need a light to see the stuff that's potentially dozens or hundreds of feet behind it too.

Humans have better dynamic range than a camera, but not unlimitedly so.
For the last 400 [barely 300 actually] years the were part of the same country

The same Empire, you mean. Are you saying that all empires that ever existed need to be maintained into perpetuity?

They speak essentially the same language

Absolutely not the case. Are Spanish and Portuguese "essentially the same language?"

And use the same national origin story

Nope.

I think its totally fair to call it a civil war.

You really are very misinformed.

After 250 years of British history, calling that a civil war would be totally reasonable.

And if you tried walking into a bar, and telling an Irish person that the whole situation with England has been just a "civil war" and that they really ought to get over this idea of Irish independence -- I think you know what would happen.
I have the same options and personally I'd be perfectly happy to let one or the other go. Ideally it'd make room in the market for something new, since these are almost exactly the same and scarcely a mile apart. There are also plenty of other grocery stores in precisely the same area: both Town and Country Market and Trader Joes, as well as the Ballard farmer's market.

It's strange to me the way that people talk about these stores as if they were their personal property, and theirs to decide whether or not they shut down, without even a mention about the very practical reasons these stores might have to merge or shut down (which may end up happening anyway, even if the merger fails).
Bitcoin is decentralized and people buying bitcoin for financial gains without caring about decentralization are both true statements.

>Take your China example. The issue wasn't just that the government wanted to control Covid and the people pushed back. The issue was that their zero-Covid policy was extremely stupid. I kept thinking "Umm, what do they think is going to happen when they eventually open back up - of course Covid is going to ravage through the populace." And that's exactly what happened. The policy did extremely little to actually save lives in the end compared to much less restrictive policies elsewhere.

According to data published by John’s Hopkins, China’s overall number of Covid deaths per 100,000 population was 7.6, compared to 341 in the United States.

The shadiness largely comes from the fact that transporting insects can be a risk to the environment. Permits to ship live ant queens are not hard to obtain, but there are laws that prohibit certain species from being shipped to certain areas.

The permit also covers obligations for the recipient, such as ensuring that no pathogens are left on the packing materials and that you dispose of the insects properly, if necessary.
