It was very transparently an economic and technical development policy from the start, it was never intended as a military policy to hinder enemy mapping ability.

They do similar information control across many other industries besides maps. The CCP is very good at gatekeeping access to foreign/uncensored information through a few state-owned enterprises, then metering it out as they see fit for economic progress.

Nah, because the thing is the Russian and US militaries will have their own maps of China anyway. There's a reason the UK's mapping agency retains the historic name of the Ordinance Survey, maps has always been a military thing and they've always retained surveyors.

This is proven untrue by history: Nazi Germany, the Irish Revolution, and countless others have proven that brutal, oppressive regimes can only be stopped by violence. I'm not saying the present-day US government is anywhere near this bad, but your statement simply isn't true: violence was absolutely essential in stopping tyranny in many places in history.

> All human systems are not like scientific theories that once you falsify one aspect of them, the whole entire thing is spoiled.

Virtually everything that counts as a research accomplishment is predicated on studies that are vetted through peer review. Imperfect as this process is, it is not capable of flagging research misconduct reliably. So most things we could list under accomplishments will likely require some amount of trust in the researchers. If you don't see how multiple independent examples of this trust being abused constitute a problem in this regard, then I suggest we leave it there.

To be clear: the examples that I listed don't just relate to plagiarism, which would be misappropriation of results that are (hopefully) still true. Read the articles, there are many cases of suspected outright faking of results (often unlikely to be honest mistakes). I hope you never have a relative who has to rely on a cancer treatment based on fake research.

I'm also not saying that Harvard is necessarily an outlier in this regard (unfortunately). But when it happens, I think we should call it what it is: bad, without buts.

Unless you have actual mechanical problems with your joints or you're, as you said, heavy or out of normal BMI, then running is actually healthy for your joints. One caveat is the surface you run on. Running on softer surfaces than asphalt can be easier on your legs and feet.

Most injuries from running come from repetitive motion overuse and are muscular. People go out way too hard then discover that their muscles are weak for running (especially hips and glutes). Easing into running and doing some weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to supplement can usually keep you injury free and running well into old age. Some research shows it actually reducing the onset of osteoarthritis.
I don't think this is entirely true. I know in Canada we grow wheat, soy, rapeseed and rye in the Prairies, which has a harder time with traditional yellow human corn.

And wheat is a very important staple. We feed a lot of the world!

So while there is some fallow land, this exists everywhere, and I don't think repurposing will help.

1. Peak housing demand doesn't necessarily have to coincide exactly with peak population, because it also depends on average household sizes and living space demand per person.
2. Country-wide population figures don't account for regional population movement.

USBc works perfectly wrt speed, but in my case I learned the hard way that there are some caveats.

My current NAS is a mini PC connected to a external 8-bay USB3 enclosure with disks arranged as 4 ZFS mirror pools. It worked like charm with XigmaNAS (FreeBSD based) until the day I needed to add some files and the best solution was of course to connect another external USB disk to go faster than network transfer. As I connected the drive, suddenly all disks in the pools were shifted, with the external disk becoming part of the 1st pool, and all others mixed, with potentially devastating consequences. Of course I panicked and after a series of wrong moves destroyed the 1st pool which luckily I already had a very recent backup of. On BSD forums they explained that the embedded XigmaNAS edition does not make use of UUIDs so it's dependent on the order disks are being detected, which frankly shocked me: I wouldn't expect that from FreeBSD.
Now, the detection order in case of the disk enclosure is always the same, but should I connect some other external drive, the disk order would go bonkers again, therefore I also feared what could happen if a disk suddenly becomes undetectable. However, it's only the web interface that goes out of sync wrt disk detection, and I later learned it can be fixed with the synchronize command.
They say the full install is immune from that, and I plan to migrate everything, but I'd like to be sure I can do that transparently before embarking in that task.
Yubikeys have a single master private key, and derive site-specific keys from that. It makes sense in this model not to allow key export. On the other hand, if you have 100 sites you log in to, you can use one key for everything. If you get a new computer, you can just carry on using the same key. If you lose or damage your key, admittedly things get harder.

Passkeys are defined by at least one authority as "resident keys" in the sense that you have one key stored for each site. If you have more than one computer, or your old one breaks and you buy a new computer, you somehow have to get your 100 keys from A to B (and possibly keep them in sync). You could do this with a third-party cloud service (and pay subscription fees for it), but in this model it seems consumer-unfriendly to me to not allow me just to back up and transfer my own keys, especially when it's not possible on all sites to register more than one passkey in the first place.

Even enterprise HSMs can do this to some extent with key-wrapping. (Yes, KeepassXC can do this too, but they've been threatened with a ban from the passkey ecosystem over this.)

Personally, the way I'd like key-based authentication to work is something like how SSH keys work currently, where people who know what they're doing can set things up in a way that works efficiently for them. You can choose yourself whether you want 1:n or m:1 or m:n relationships between your keys and your sites and how to manage them.

I mean the question if private keys should be synced is the fun one to argue about ;-)

My thinking is always if you do passkeys for phishing protection or potentially UX improvements then there is no harm syncing keys. (I would argue the security is increased by adding phishing protection over password/2fa)
If you do it for security, then you do not want to sync keys and rely on key storage that do not allow extraction (most secure will be "offline" key stores like YubiKeys).
I guess the latter is more important in enterprise/business scenarios rather than in b2c context.

A little OT but it will also be fun in b2c explaining customers that there keystore is full on the hardware key.
(of the top of my head YubiKey 5 have a limit of about 25 keys)

At least for part of your question; I recently ordered a suit from a danish"tailor (who gets their suits sewn in Portugal). The measurement process consisted of doing a 3D body scan, with minor manual measurements (such as deciding fit). You can then use your existing scan, to order new garments. But preferably, I would still like to consult the tailor in store, since there's more to fit than getting the size and length right.

I don't view the creation of Russian Empire in a bad light - quite contrary, most other historical options would likely been worse, up and until 1917 at least. And as a Russian I believe that Russian Empire is a part of essential legacy of the humankind. Same with USSR despite its tragic and cruel history.

With the assumption that "imperialistic" policy is an inherently bad thing you should not be entitled to those seeds, which it seems you've stolen anyway.

Tesla's Autopilot Scam
Best remember that compared to today, there hardly was a market place till late nineties. 70s and early 80s were dominated by hardware enthusiast, 80s game software and a nerdy minority, business PCs had little momentum till late 80s and 90s. All this time, the market was flooded with different types of mutually incompatible micro computers. After DOS compatible PC gained momentum, the only company still (barely) standing was Apple, and it ultimately adopted comorbidity PC hardware too.

So I think the reason Acorn (and Commodore, Sinclair, Amstrad, RadioShack as well as Sun, DEC and SGI) went belly up is primarily that while the market was growing, there simply wasn't enough space in the market to compete with wintel dominance.

In Rust, one of the rather annoying limitations of the borrow-checker is constructing self-referential data structures, e.g. ASTs.

You either have to explicitly mark every node in the tree with a Box<T>, or nodes in the tree has to share lifetimes.

But since you're building the tree gradually by recursively scanning over some concrete syntax, that won't work.

Box<T> generally ruins your ability to do pattern matching, which is a deal-breaker when working with ASTs.

You can overcome some of the inconveniency by using a compiler extension called box patterns:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/unstable-book/language-featur...

But the nicest solution I've found is to use a bump allocator (specifically, bumpalo).

You allocate a big chunk of memory for your AST, for which the lifetime is that of the bump allocator's handle.

And you tie the lifetime of all nodes of your AST with that lifetime.

The "drawback" is that you must free your entire AST at once. But you probably were going to anyways.

This reminds me of the very first project that I worked on, a warning system for rail trackside workers. There had been numerous case studies of near misses, injuries and even fatalities.

The system currently in place at the time was, unbelievably, two people (in the case of a bi-directional line) stood downline within earshot of the main crew. When they saw a train approaching they would blow whistles and wave a flag, the workers would then move out of the way until the train passed. Yeah I also couldn't believe that such an archaic system was still in use - this was in 2019 mind.

The company in charge of managing the railway lines reached out to our company and a few others to have us tender on a new design to help protect workers and reduce near misses. Our research led us to an existing system developed by a company in Switzerland which we essentially planned to modify for our national network, as there are differences in how railway lines are signalled across different regions. It consisted of units that could be placed periodically downline of the work site and would alarm when a train was approaching by use of real-time train location data.

The main issue we faced though was how to ensure an accurate reading that gave enough time to vacate the line whilst not being excessive, as research suggested workers may believe it to be a false positive if nothing approached after a couple of minutes.
To understand why this is a difficult problem it first helps to understand how traffic within a railway line is managed.

The railway network is split into what is known as blocks, these are discrete sections of track separated by axle counters. Without a train the two sections of track are electronically separate, when one passes over a circuit is completed and the train's position can know be known to that exact location at that exact time. However these readings are discreet, with resolution of the trains position only being as good as the number of axle counters present on the line. This results in some tricky estimating of when "impact" will happen. Train speed is another metric that can be used in conjunction but again you only know the speed read at the last axle counter, anything could have happened between the last reading and "now".

In the end our solution was to assume maximum line speed and warn when this would be within 30s of the worksite. We created a demo that worked flawlessly and the client was visibly impressed. However they then wanted a proposal, cost and everything else for the next phase within 2 weeks - so we had to pull out as we weren't able to produce it. This was a real shame for me as I look back on this project with fond memories, one of the few projects where we were essentially left to figure it out. Already in my short career (<5y) I've been fortunate enough to work on some interesting projects and gain interesting stories to tell...

> But the truth is, I've not seen any concrete steps from the EU to enable that.

With such attitude, Eastern Europe would not have joined the EU either. Do you think anyone in 1991 wanted to see Poland in the EU? Do you think anyone came to offer EU membership on a silver platter while the Poles were sitting on their asses and reminiscing about Rzeczpospolita? Of course not: it took 15 years of determined work to get there, first to convince the existing members that it was even a good idea to begin with. Even after the negotiations officially started, membership prospects were widely seen as distant and mostly theoretical. "Oh shit, it's really happening" set in only 1-2 years before the official accession in 2004. Things first changed very slowly, and then very suddenly.

But Russia never took the first step of swallowing their pride and adpting a pragmatic approach to building relations in a constructive manner, so naturally the rest never followed. If you think that Poles and many others didn't feel humiliated and unfairly treated at many points along the way, then you're wrong, but the long-term results made it all worth it, and Poland has transformed from "that backward cousin-fucking potatoland in the East" into an integral and respected part of the EU.

> When Russians wanted to get rid of Putin in 2011-2012, EU and USA basically brought popcorn and did nothing.

It's funny to see how the narrative keeps shifting. When it's convenient, the EU and US are encircling and staging coups and posing existential danger, and when another story is more convenient, they are doing too little. It's always someone else's fault.
Lots of single mode fiber in redundant loops. In longer tunnels you'd have several technical rooms along that hold the loop ends into L3 switches. Within the loop you have emergency cabinets spaced 125m. Apart from fire extinguishers and emergency phones (often also our products!) they contain some PLCs and L2 switches that distribute signal and PoE to end point devices such as Evacsound or traffic cameras.
