HAHA. DJI drones are amongst the most popular tools of war in the Ukraine conflict. Sometimes they drop bombs directly, but more commonly they're used as long-ranged lookout stations and RF-repeater "hovering motherships" for bomb-equipped one-way FPV drone operators (as well as just general reconnaissance tasks).

That said, I don't think this law has anything to do with war, just simple economic protectionism driven by Skydio and other US drone lobbyists. Getting rid of DJI's excellent $7,000 enterprise drones lets Skydio sell their $15,000 + cloud-subscription enterprise drones instead.

Spanish too, as Japanese snd Spanish share many syllables and vowel sounds

https://www.mundodeportivo.com/uncomo/ocio/articulo/chistes-...

And Japanese names that sound similar to Spanish phrases:

Yamamoto - Llama Moto - Fire Motorcycle

Niigata - Ni gata - Not even a cat

Kazamaura - Casa/Caza Maura - Marries or Hunts Maura

Nomiya - … No mía - Not mine / Doesn’t pee

And then there is:

Kaga - …
Kagasawa - …

What I don’t know is if there are Spanish puns in Japanese?

I've worked with a lot of pro-mocking engineers, and the time they spent on mocks easily outstripped the time a good build engineer would have spent creating a fast reusable test framework using real databases/dummy services/etc. The mocks won not because they were better or more efficient, but because of lack of deeper engineering skill and cargo culting.

The costs to start, staff, and sustain a practice large enough to deal with insurance is prohibitive. A few private practice doctors I know socially are getting out early because they can't deal with the b.s. anymore.
Yeah that's what they used to do, go to the office and request to use the phone. If your parent wanted to tell you something they'd call the school and have them relay the message.

It's not a difficult problem to solve, but I guarantee there would be some parents fighting against it if implemented. Dealing with parents these days can sometimes be more difficult than their kids.
Yep, but there are still plenty out there which do not. The likelihood of them being forced to correct this is essentially nil though.
Yup. Superhero movies took over. Most boring, infantile genre there is.
Or just have Medicare for everyone.

The current scheme only benefits rich people whose ability to pay outrageous insurance rates is easy and less than taxes. Poor people get substandard care, middle class workers get boned. I spend more on healthcare than taxes, and half my taxes are paying for stupid healthcare, either directly or through proxy.

> How would you go about invading Russia, as a senior NATO commander? Russia's stated policy is to deploy nuclear arms against any invading force

I'd take advantage of Russia's folly of invading a neighboring country and use that opportunity to destroy Russia's military forces, all while hampering their ability to rebuild that materiel.

Meanwhile, I'd have anti-ICBM technology in place so if Russia did try to launch, it would be largely ineffective. Besides, if Russia did try to launch, they'd lose the few allies they have, save for North Korea. It would probably also ensure Siberia leaves - and at that point Russia would be powerless to stop it.

What I don't need to do is invade Russia.

From the same transparency report page, they refuse any requests from countries that are not Switzerland, and only provide information to Swiss authorities when necessary (I.E. valid international legal assistance, violations of Swiss law, etc).

As well, emails and files are encrypted. And their VPN is a no-log VPN.

Lastly, they can comply with an order and just give them nothing, because they don't have anything they can give. No files (E2EE), no VPN network info (No-logging), no emails (E2EE), etc. That's still, legally, an order they complied with.
Yeah, that's the main issue I have: the enforcement of the law is lagging/lacking
I saw quite a few of similar situations, when people are doing their best, because they're responsible, and if they will not take care of things - something bad will happen.

I always suggest the "principle of lost packets".

Let things fail early to inform about your limitations.
If your internet connection speed is 30Mbps and you send 100Mbps upstream - some packets will be dropped. The earlier packets get dropped - the better for the connection, because feedback will be faster. Ideally at your router.

Practically speaking, for the case in the article:
We have 6 doctors working at our hospital. One doctor quits. Look, we're doing ok with 5! Let see, can we do with 4? Sure. Ok, now we're with 3 doctors and things are failing... So, 4 is probably optimal.
Well, that 4 doctors working on the edge.
Would this doctor "fail the hospital" earlier, - hospital will receive that signal, and doctor's count will be higher.

Few years ago I was promoted to be QA Manager, and learned very quickly, that a lot of people will make sure that I know, that if our QA team will not sign off on that release - we'll lose that deal, or make that client unhappy... At the beginning I tried to accommodate. But that was totally unsustainable. So, I quickly learned to give people realistic expectations:
- no, will not complete QA by Friday, tell the client whatever you want, or give me 2 more people (and the only people they can give me were Developers).
- no, will not have that release ready by 12th, you should have consulted with me before making promise, not it's on you to figure out, not my headache.
What version of the 10 Sefirot is the pin pattern?

As Texas houses go on average, that's expensive compared to the average of about $350k. In terms of Austin houses, that's cheap given there are $3M-$10M homes in the Bull Creek area.

I'm putting a single rack mini DC in a backyard shed by adding a high SEER mini-split, massloaded vinyl, and a dedicated outward-swinging door. The trick is not going over 200 sq ft in most of Texas because that requires a permit in most areas.

The thing with Texas though is high property taxes, where the costs for a $2.4M home could be more than $40k/year. SB2 does somewhat protect the elderly and disabled, but no one else, and still, the rates can be very high for them too.

PS: It's a pretty fucking sweet DC that uses EF's SLICTanks quieter mineral oil cooling. They're a niche HPC shop that found new life in BTC mining, apparently.

All else being equal, I'd rather see the pricing pressure done by market competition rather than enforced price caps benchmarked against some metric controlled by the industry (see Medicare Part D - gov. negotiates hard to only reimburse xx%, drug industry says fine, we'll just raise the book price - you'll get your talking point, and we'll still get our asking price).

So more significantly:

* bring back association health plans across state lines and industries, so small businesses can band together for group rates. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/biden-admin...

* Expand Direct Primary Care. https://www.dpcare.org/

* Allow primary care physicians, dentists, etc. to offer services without a state board providing "certification of need". This seems to just be gate-keeping / moat-building.

I'm not saying either or all of these are a perfect solution (nor do I think we need to find that solution immediately). As a small business owner, they'd make the health insurance handcuff problem easier to navigate by driving costs down.

I will say this - flying solo without health insurance does make you a FAR better consumer of healthcare services. You will comparison shop (made easier by price transparency rules). You will critically consider the necessity of gratuitous tests / procedures. You will learn that doctors are running profit-minded businesses like everyone else.

It also makes you reconsider some life choices (re: physically risky behavior).

I think the biggest fear I faced was the lack of catastrophic coverage (cancer, etc.). When we didn't have insurance (both small business owners) my wife and I probably consumed less than $1000 of direct services combined, per year. That part (direct pay for services used) was fine. Walking the tightrope without a safety net for expensive medical developments was our biggest risk. With kids it's even less of an option to operate that way. I've known many that have returned to corporate jobs for this reason alone.

In the GPT3 days when everyone was doing few-shot tasks (giving the LLM a couple of examples of question/answer pairs in the prompt) one of the big insights was that adding question/answer pairs with answers like "I don't know" and "this question doesn't make sense" caused the model to actually use those answers appropriately instead of overconfidently stating nonsense.

Of course that method isn't perfect (GPT3.0 was far from perfect in general). But both in principle and in practice the models do have a notion of what they "know". Knowledge is a strong activation, random noise is a weaker activation, you "just" have to get the model to override those weaker activations with admitting failure.

You could draw parallels to allowing LLMs to emit pause tokens to get more time to think (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02226 and similar). At some level of abstraction that's also just training the model to replace uncertain answers with a special token, in the hope that it eventually reaches more certainty.

Arbitration is great for companies for multiple reasons:

- it avoids costly class actions in "big" cases
- it avoids costly discovery in "big" cases
- it avoids sky-high damages claims in extreme cases
- it allows small everyday fuck-ups to be handled more cheaply than a court

However, I'd argue that for this kind of issue, arbitration isn't necessarily worse. Especially in a clear-cut case, you don't need the court to win, you just need the court to trigger an escalation at the company. Arbitration is good enough for that.

> C++ explicitly supports memory-safe programming. You can choose whether you want to mess around with raw pointer arithmetic.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Managing object ownership through systems like smart pointers is not memory safety. Applications that use smart pointers still suffer from memory issues, and it's possible to adopt object ownership systems that still use raw pointers, such as It's object ownership system.
I disagree with the statement that credit is basically mandatory. The issues you raised may be real, but borrowing money does not solve any of them, it just hides them. My experience is that credit cards are predatory and offer an easy alternative to basic fiscal responsibility: Living within your means (more humbly than you might want), knowing what expenses you should expect and planning for them.

Utility bills, rent, taxes are predictable. Even most car repairs should not be an emergency. If you buy a car, or know anyone that has ever owned a car, you can confidently know that you will have unexpected car-related expenses. It happens to everyone and it should not be a surprise. If you own a car, immediately start putting some money aside so that when you get a flat, or crack the windshield, or need a new bearing, it's not an emergency.

If you have children, teach them money management. It's one of the most valuable skills for adult life. Additionally, talk to your local school district about teaching financial literacy courses!

The problem you mention is rather common to senior/experienced developers. One way to get back the "joy of programming" is to study the programming language domain as a whole including Programming Language Theory, Formal Methods, Programming Paradigms and Techniques etc. Most people just focus on the needed mechanics of Programming (because job) without really bothering to look behind the curtain and hence quickly get bored/disillusioned. You have to really motivate yourself to dig deeper. But once you do this, you will begin to look at programming languages in a whole different light.

I found the following useful to get back (ongoing) my "joy of programming";

1) Advanced Programming Language Design by Raphael Finkel.

2) Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming by Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi.

3) Understanding Formal Methods by Jean-Francois Monin.

4) Design Concepts in Programming Languages by Turbak and Gifford.

I ended up grabbing the Affinity bundle since it's half off despite concerns about Canva. I'd expect even if they end up moving to a subscription I'd at least have the versions I bought for an extended amount of time. I still have a working copy of Photoshop CS 5 as well. Hopefully we see Affinity remain committed to affordable non subscription plans but if they don't I think the one time purchase will last me a long time. If they put out a version 3 without subscription and it's compelling i'll upgrade, if not i'll continue to use 2 for I'm sure years to come.
> China is neutral.

Neutrality in the face of gross violations of international law amounts to tacit support. And yes, I understand that you have addressed this point in your comment, but whataboutism gets us nowhere. If a country is violating human rights, they should be held accountable.

> Taiwan and China are recognized by the United States by international treaty as one country.

A treaty not worth the paper it's written on. It's clear that the United States would defend Taiwan militarily were it to come to that, so mentioning as a reason to punish China that China continues to provoke Taiwan militarily is very relevant.

> The reason for this is the US sees China's economic rise as a threat to its global position.

Ahh yes, of course, this war being entirely the US' fault.

Great answers below (test containers for example).

However, it’s not always possible.

For example:

- you use oracle db (takes minutes to start, license, hope the containers run on ARM fine, etc.)
- sometimes an in memory fake is just much faster, and can be an official db on its own for people to try the product
- your storage might be only available through a library by a third party provider that is not available locally.

You usually don't find I2C in the high end space-rated parts simply due to the added complexity of a simplex protocol but you see tons of single-ended SPI parts. You don't need diff pairs unless it's for high speed or long cable runs. If your controller (FPGA, microcontroller, etc) has the resources, a good idea is to have a single SPI slave per master. Also since SPI is not standardized, vendors may have different signaling requirements which makes it slightly more difficult to put different chips on the same bus. Talking to SPI chips is super easy and can be implemented entirely in 7400-series logic if you want so it's entirely possible to have analog electronics send control signals to SPI devices without a single CPU in sight.

The resistance to socialized healthcare in America can be easily understood without resorting to bizarre strawmen about hating poor people. Healthcare is of course a huge part of our economy and lives. Many (most?) people are satisfied with the status quo and are hesitant to see (what they consider to be) a huge increase in government power, spending, and general involvement in their lives. It's the same impulse that motivates people to oppose new housing -- people are loss averse and hate change.

For someone who claims to be aware of geopolitics it's funny that you are basically just repeating a state department talking point. China has not infringed on other countries' sovereignty to even a fraction of the extent that the "free world" has. And it seems you don't believe that China has the right to govern it's own affairs using a system different from your own.
