> Honestly, Iran looks pretty stupid here

They've performed a real world test on how their weapons perform against Israeli air defences.

And the results of the test were not impressive. But no doubt they've gathered lots of real world data, which they can use to inform the development of their next generation of weapons.

And no doubt they'll share that data with Russia and China. Because a lot of Israel's air defences is based on technology shared with the US and other US allies, so whatever Iran learns from this might end up being applicable in conflicts in other parts of the globe

Maybe not such a stupid decision after all
This is just an example of predatory pricing models and dark patterns.

There is reason many SaaS companies usually have no prepaid or fixed cost roof pay options. They are scammers.
I have not seen a better description of what autism might be like at a higher (or lower, depending on whether one’s metaphysics align with materialism or not) level than “investing entire attention in a particular sliver of the experiential buffet”.

Amazing at maths but can’t keep a conversation, holed up at home working out like a maniac all the time, musical genius but incapable in daily life[0]—everyone probably knows one or more of such people, especially earlier in life. Is that another side of the same coin? Is it only when this sliver’s intersection with the multi-dimensional space of social-cultural norms is insufficient that other people tend to get weirded out?

[0] These are only some examples, I am sure there are many other ways it can manifest that are familiar to us but were not really thought of as a byproduct of autism. And, of course, some of these can be caused by other factors (e.g., the working out example could be a symptom of body dysmorphia).
So true. Getting a Copilot subscription for $10/mo was an uphill battle. My daily supply of coffee alone costs the company more that that.

How does anything think setting up a system where you can get billed for clicking a link is a good idea? Along with no sensible monthly limit on the credit card. The whole setup is beyond ridiculous, and it's hard to believe this is how "devs having no purchase authority stories usually start".
Given the age and location of that house, are you confident it had indoor plumbing?
On the contrary, that's cold hard truth. The US repeatedly forces foreign companies into obedience for US companies' profit. For instance, the US forced Alstom to sell its power branch to GE by actually taking hostage one of Alstom directors into high security prison. They repeatedly menaced an punished foreign companies to force them to comply to US policy.

The US is a merciless imperial power.

> I always drive with the max distance to the next car when on autopilot.

This. Also the Tesla Model 3 max-distance setting is really not big enough for my taste, especially for winter driving. I have a feeling that it does not even satisfy the legal requirement of 1,5 seconds we have here.
> Today you have 2 people working 100 hours a week to support 1-2 additional people , while living in an apartment and living in a run down and crime infested neighborhood.

Is that really true, or is it more a feeling many Americans have? As a Swede it’s a bit hard to relate to.
Greek austerity imposed by Germans had resulted in the doubling of debt as percentage of GDP.
It's actually spot on.

We are all looking pretty nervously at the possibility of Trump's return. He'd be definitely willing to throw us under the Putin bus for a couple million USD laundered through his golf club or hotel bookings.

And you wouldn't actually revolt and do anything about that. So, on a whole, not really allies. Just other people who individually may or may not be our friends.

Author been living under a rock?Engineering/dev first companies been popular since the 2000s. Developer salaries are often the most expensive thing, so everyone in the c-suite cares that their people are more efficient. Developer love is table stakes if you want to be put in front of someone who can purchase.

It's pretty much like all enterprise software: you sell to the people with the purchasing authority. Meaning sales are often closed on the golf course.
Cavalry disappeared from the battlefield in part because horses don't hide well in foxholes; are we at the point where humans don't either?

The reason behind is that US lost its confidence to compete. So if it cannot compete, it might be easier to remove the competitors. Such move would work on smaller countries such as Japan etc. But China is another story.

Which is why Italy and France have such strong economies, right? What’s really standing in the way of economic growth is that the government isn’t paying for people to get free degrees in left wing studies.

The issue is not that Apple is not possible here, but more that it is possible there and we allow them to operate normally in Europe (though things are starting to change on this front, as more laws are targeting them). Corporations that are so large have financial power that can threaten democracies, and have an overall negative impact on economy and innovation by destroying/preventing fair competition, and we should treat them as such threat/problem.
I've seen great results in computational molecular biology back in 2013. For the first time, there was enough computing power to run molecular dynamics simulations and/or to run linear regression on large molecule databases. The novel tests and medical treatments based on that exploration are mostly still in testing and certification, but I'd expect that in a few years, you'll see, for example, a new early blood marker test for sepsis, which my university patented based on Gromacs simulations roughly 10 years ago.
Old Androids and other systems where you don't get to update your root CAs mean that you can never add new CAs because too few devices trust them, or enfore new TLS versions because you have to assume that too many people use very old devices, maybe, I don't know, I'm not an expert, if someone can explain what really is at stake here.
Please don’t do this, there are many people and stories that speak to this. Now it looks like you’re claiming this for one particular religion, when it’s completely unrelated to religion.
I enjoyed that a lot, thanks for sharing! Given arbitrary precision, the number of parameters becomes meaningless as a measure of model complexity, and even this one-parameter equation has infinite VC dimension.
I can't speak to origins, but currently in the JS world DCE and tree-shaking refer to different things. "Tree-shaking" normally refers to when the bundler omits unreachable code, that a more naive bundler would have included. It's an oft-discussed topic because it wasn't possible to do in some earlier module formats, and some bundlers do it better than others. In this context the "tree" mostly refers to the dependency tree.

In contrast DCE usually refers what the JS engine does at runtime, via whatever means. But DCE isn't much discussed, unless one talking about v8 internals or the like.
If you're talking about the situation here in France, it's a bit different regarding money.
Doctors are still paid more than most people in IT.
Given the IT money in the US, I'm not sure they have the same situation if we look at the hourly rate.

Regarding doctors strikes, I asked the question to multiple ones and the few explanations I got are :
- they are deeply regulated and organized, they rely more on acting behind the scenes (lobbying) than going public in the streets
- they still have a comfortable situation that they chose ; unlike blue-collar workers who can barely afford food/housing and have to take what job and salary is offered to them ; a GP can move to a private hospital if they want more money and less hours
- even though they are organized, they have much more individualistic views of their job than labor workers ; after all they mostly are their own company
Just yesterday I was driving in the left lane with cruise control set to the maximum allowed velocity, with the maximum gap behind a car driving in front of me. Of course someone overtook me on the right (illegal in Germany) just to swerve in front of me and then drive at the same speed, just 20m further ahead. He ended up being first at the red lights. I’ll never understand it…
Step 1: go to ebay

Step 2: search for "humanscale monitor arm"

Step 3: pay the 1/5 of retail price for the thing

Step 4: never think about this again

Seriously, they are really good and plenty of offices do refurnishings after which they just get rid of the perfectly good ones for 30-40 a pop whereas the retail price is like 200.

They look nice, work perfectly, have cable management and are an insanely good deal used.
Oh, sorry, I must've missed the part about rowgroups and metadata. Yes, this should work to limit the scans to a reasonable amount.
I don't know what to tell you, but buying a house from a previous owner at double or tripple the price is not a hidden tax.
Most likely that Iran calibrated this attacking not to cause much damage. They also made clear that this was it.

So they had to respond to Israel's attack but they want to avoid further escalation, which probably suits Israel as well.
What? Virtually no compiled language does, and even the ones that do usually have it as a massive hack (e.g. Cling).
The West will lose, but Israel won't. America has to support them in case of a full scale war or risk losing even more prestige and influence, which further opens the door for a new world order based on China.

Netanyahu knows that once the missiles fly freely, nobody's going to look too closely at Gaza or the West Bank. Meanwhile, in open warfare Israel can pound Iran into dust, sustaining minimal damage in the process. Jordan and Egypt will do their best to stay out of it, and America will be stuck retaliating for anything that hits US troops in Israel via Syria.

Maybe the world would have been a better and friendlier place if the two people you mentioned, and others like them, had an attitude a bit more muted and humble.
I'm not sure that's a good enough explanation. There's minimal if any impact from a given doctor on country wide policies, especially the ones funded by state. Junior doctors in the UK couldn't push basic improvements to both their working conditions and pay. That doesn't seem to match the idea that they can meaningfully influence the doctors intake numbers.
I only had this issue the one time while I was an employee: I wanted a Thinkpad, but management insisted I got a shitty Dell. In the end, they got me a Thinkpad.

Other than that, whenever I've asked for a book or some tool, I simply got it, even expensive split keyboards.

Now that I'm self employed, I just buy what I need. Which isn't much, really. Very few "developer tools" are useful enough to spend money on, let alone try to integrate them in my workflow. That last part has become much more important to me over the years.
It's very possible to be very rich in France. It's not the result of random luck that both the richest man and the richest woman in the world were french not that long ago (Bernard Arnaud and Liliane Bettencourt).

You should not buy the right wing discourse that in France rich people are too taxed and they flee blabla. This is just a way to push their right wing agenda. I'm myself quite rich and I'm doing well, so don't worry.

They all lose them over time, or are themselves dissolved and absorbed.
In Sweden we measure inflation both with and without interest rate changes. The latter measure is called KPIF (“konsumentprisindex med fast ränta” / “consumer price index with fixed interest rate”). The central bank inflation target of 2% is formally for this KPIF. As I understand it KPIF includes borrowing costs (e.g. car loans), but at a fixed fake / interest rate.

It sounds complicated, but I think this is actually the right approach.

To achieve this state where one can operative effectively without external validation often requires them to initially engage with the public sphere. This exposure is important to getting opportunities, especially when starting out with no resources. The purpose of working is to be able to transcend this phase and do more autonomous and focused work...

I've looked at all the other replies and very few mention the obvious: self-regulation is hard.

Hospitals are mostly held as public services, and having more doctors better handled arguably costs more (in training, infra, shift management etc). Gov gets to decide if it wants to pay more, or even change the status quo and bails on it.

It's the same deal for teachers in public schools and other public servants, their mental health management is lagging, their salaries and treatment as well, dispatch and promotions are a PITA etc.

I don't think govs are inherently bad at it, just that there's no check and balances most of the time. Same way private companies are bad at self regulation and need an external force to get regulated. Mandatory unionizing and better avenues to sue for better conditions could be an answer?

This sounds like terrible practice and you are gambling with you life. And probably the lives of those around you.

Fine, you might have right of way. Fine, the car driver might legally be in the wrong. But you'd still be dead and nothing changes that. You are not invincible, and the law will change fuck-all about you being in a wheelchair breathing through a tube for the rest of your life. I doubt youll even change the behaviour of the at-fault driver that much.

The CPI is kinda fine and should not include interest rates. The CPI is used to measure price inflation and not individual misery and should be left to do just that.

Wait, there is actually a misery index: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misery_index_(economics)

It would have been better to invest in such an index. Here is a simplified example: The US is made of two cities; NYC and midland. Inflation rate is 0% for both and misery is non-existent. midland now has no jobs. None. So people move to NYC and inflate prices there. Inflation in NYC is 20% while deflation in midland is 30%. The Fed works the numbers and says that overall inflation is around 2% for the whole country and so everything is fine.

The reality is that misery is sky high; people are being burnt by prices in NYC and can't find jobs/buyers in midland. They have to move at high personal costs or close their businesses in the midland. On the other hand, they struggle to make a living in the new NYC town.

In the US, the people that were born in the 1950s got to spend their teenage years not knowing if the Soviet Union is going to start World War III (the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was definitely a forming event for many teenage minds), then got to go through the 70s with an energy crisis and the potential draft to Vietnam, and then another energy crisis, and then got to experience the Chernobyl disaster in the 80s, wondering if they should re-watch "Duck and cover" and wonder why that hole in the ozone layer gets bigger and bigger.

Every generation has its ups and downs. For my generation, I have to deal with sky-high real estate prices, but I also have access to an unprecedented amount of free entertainment, free knowledge, the cheap supercomputer in my pocket allows me to stay in touch with anyone that I want, and when I go to the doctor, I probably won't see people in iron lungs anymore. I can travel to anywhere in the world for ridiculously low prices, and if I don't speak the language, a live translation app will do the work for me.

No, it's not all sunshine and roses, and people are right to call out issues with the current state of the world because things are NOT alright. But it's not like things were sunshine and roses for our grandparents generation either.

Uhm, don't be so quick to assume that.

The first world war wasn't quite as you've heard. The front line was very dynamic in some parts (n the summer of 1915, Russia lost an area an area around half as big as today's Ukraine).

It was static in some areas, notably the small areas of the western front where the troop and supply density was enormously high. The German attack at Verdun was just 40km wide, the Russian invalsion now is a >1000km front. During that battle, the Germans committed more soldiers to attacking a single village than the total size of the Russian army now. Maybe you could say that those sections were kept static by extreme resource use, rather than by lack of anything.

We had a high touch service for B2B installation: we charged clients for consulting (business analysis) to configure and integrate our system.

The cost to clients for the consulting was approx 1 year of our SaaS fees. The up front consulting helped heaps with our cashflow, but it also significantly limited our growth rate.

But it worked for us at the time (mid 2000's).

Definitely hard to avoid over-customisation of software for one client: but you need to avoid that problem with any software product servicing multiple clients.

Previous company with a similar product depended too heavily upon ongoing consulting fees and that caused a variety of troubles for that business.
