I don't know anything more than is written in this press release, but there's precedent: https://www.innovationaus.com/inside-run-psiquantum-given-a-...

> California-based startup PsiQuantum was given an “inside run” to a controversial $1 billion investment by Australian taxpayers as the only company that government engaged with in a thorough due diligence process.
> Unless you'd like to put a price on human life that is.

It's been put at about $10 million, for the purposes of EPA regulations. Insurance companies have their own formula, from a couple hundred thousand into the millions, and healthcare users QUALYs - quality-adjusted life years, and those are priced at $50,000-$150,000.

You’d need extra bits and pieces to monitor those things, or if the gate controller monitors those things already, figure out how to read that information.

You could add a current transformer around the motor conductors to handle the ‘is_moving?’ case. If there’s measurable current flowing through the motor leads, the motor is turning. That’s how you determine the on/off status of a fan or pump motor in a building automation system.

Magnetic contacts or end switches on either end of the gate could handle the ‘open’ and ‘closed’ cases. Magnetic contacts are widely used in commercial doors for access control, and end switches are used for air damper open/closed status in building automation systems, to give a couple examples.

Not sure about the ‘blocked’ case, that would depend on what the gate motor controller does when the gate is blocked. Some kind of sensor that uses the photoelectric effect, I would imagine.

Article 2, which talks about the president's powers, is vague and has not been stress tested to the same extent it's likely to now be (it seems like there will be a lot of debate around minutiae for years, just based off the trump presidency and charges brought).

As such, the phrase "exercise of his core constitutional power" is significantly less straightforward than it might seem at first glance.

If you read through the ruling, a lot more questions arise than answers. And Sotomayor's dissent only highlights how they don't know themselves. And it's not as though it was clear before this ruling. It was unclear, and this ruling says very little in practice.

>Mexico has the same big metros like the US does, just look at Monterey and CMX

The claim isn't that mexico doesn't have any big cities, it's that it's not an attractive place to live in compared to the US, as evidenced by migrant flows.

>It may not be right now. But at the current rate of letting corporations do whatever the fuck they want, I wouldn't hesitate to do it if it makes economic sense. And if it ever gets to that point, shame on the US government

What makes you think the same pro-corporate forces won't happen to Mexico, when the state there can barely keep a lid on drug cartels, and in fact the ruling party accepted bribes from drug gangs?

I think a problem gets more problematic the larger the market is. A monopoly in a 100 million market is probably less harmful than a monopoly in a trillion market. It also depends on the lock in effect. I don't think this company has any moat besides its brand name, its sales force and good products.
Not endorsing the view, but that's how some people think. It would actually be incredibly interesting if he decided to commit political suicide by having Trump killed and spurring congress into amending the constitution to explicitly revoke the immunity. If presidents start murdering presidential candidates, we might be able to get together and pass a constitutional amendment. :)

> I almost agree.

I entirely agree with the sentiment "writing HTML once is easier than using a static site generator". Hell, even writing it twice is probably easier. The point of a static site generator is there is lots of HTML (like headers and menus) you don't write just once or twice, or if it is generated from data in a database you write at all.

I'm sure the author of the original post would agree in general, so I was left scratching my head what he is actually objecting to. Going by his comment "This becomes obvious when you eg get a new work machine and need to set up the site generator on the new machine and realize that the exact series of bits you had on disk on the old machine were different than what you can achieve on the new machine" maybe it was a rant about how complex tool chains have become.

Or maybe he's just now coming to understand why people stick to what's in Debian Stable, forgoing all the new shinies NPM and the rest of the ecosystem offers. It doesn't take too many replacement laptops before than realisation dawns.
I am so lost at the final block of code. Does every C developer have to deal with this everyday?
You also have to account for GDP growth. IF the same services are provided, one would expect the inflation adjusted cost to remain the same, and the % of GDP to go down, not up.

the reality is that Americans pay 10X taxes than in 1930. Surely government services have growth since then as well, but I question if the public is getting 10X the value.

The change of landscape from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara always gives me prehistoric or jurassic vibes for some reason.

Flying into LA from Europe and seeing slabs of reflecting concrete and buildings strech out for miles into the horizon from the desert really does give you the feeling that you are seeing the future of the climate apocalpyse in the present. As Gibson says, the future is already here it's just unevenly distributed.

And then you drive north and you run into vegetation that wouldn't be out of place in a dinosaur movie.

In that sense, Santa Barbara is nice but what exactly is "cool" sbout it? Americans awkward relationship with class is kind of in full view there frankly. There is almost no normal social interaction between the residents and the Latino blue collar community that prop up everyone's gardens and landscapes.

Have you ever taken a bus around town in Santa Barbara? It's like, "Oh, so this is where the real people are." Don't get me wrong, there's lots of interesting and nice people that live in Santa Barbara but the lack of cross-over is a little depressing. In Europe, you can be living in an nice expensive place in the city and run into the guy that cuts your hair at the corner barbershop at a music festival and hang out together with their friends the rest of the day.

Also with the exception of downtown Santa Barbara, like most of the US, it's incredibly anti-pedestrian. Make the mistake of google mapping a spot 20 min walk away and you'll find yourself on the highway walking for half an hour cause all the residents take short cuts through private property.
One other weird thing needed if you want your momentum numbers to balance: every plane in the sky is pulling the earth up towards it ever so slightly.

> A bit more realistically, the address could be printed on a sticker by the sorting machine, the way address redirections are handled.

Fun fact: PostNL already does this with 100% of the mail processed. The first step in the sorting process is to OCR the address, generate a "KIX" barcode[0], and print that on the letter using special ink if not already present. It's not intended to be user-readable, but anyone with a smartphone can trivially decode the unique destination address from it.

The question is also who will be left holding the bag. If title searches over the past 10 years have turned up nothing problematic, then likely when the flipper sells, their buyer's title search won't turn up anything either.

And once their eventual buyer buys the house, it's their problem (not the flipper's) -- well, their title insurer's problem -- if a title dispute comes up later.

And given that the flipper's goal is to hold the house for a relatively short time and make a profit on the improvements, a thousand or few saved on the title insurance could actually be a material amount of that profit.

There is a long history of this technology, and the comparison to cold fusion is unwarranted. This is peer reviewed, accepted science. The basic technique was worked out under a DoE study in Texas, with an Australian collaborator. She (Dr. Michelle Simmons, who is widely respected in this field) then Went out and raised money to scale-up.

The basic idea is that they use scanning probe microscopes to create structures on a silicon surface with atomic precision, which can then be manipulated by the surrounding chip as a solid-state qubit. You still need error correction, but it ends up being a small constant factor rather than combinatorial blowup.

Full disclosure: I’m fundraising a startup to pursue a different manufacturing process that would enable the same type of quantum computer, but with nitrogen vacancies in diamond instead of silicon (and therefore still higher reliability).

One way or the other, highly reliable quantum computers are right around the corner and are going to take a lot of people by surprise.
> The distinction between “official” and “unofficial” becomes meaningless when a president can use their official powers to do illegal things that benefit themselves in an unofficial capacity.

Maybe, but does it follow that there's no protection for "official acts?" Go read some criminal statutes, and see what it would take for a creative red state prosecutor to pin something on Obama for ordering drone strikes killing American citizens. Or do you think Biden couldn't be charged with something in connection with his border policies?
They are politicians...

Anyway, I'll grant it's symbolically different and it wasn't a good look. In practice though, the senate has to be on board with the nomination and in both cases they were not and it didn't go through in either.
In the US there is no shortage of “smart” garage door integration devices (mine are HomeKit compatible from Meross) that can both trigger an open signal (short circuit, as in the post) and be wired with an optional open/closed sensor which can tell you the true state of the door.

> I respect the opinion 'capital punishment/life sentence for any abortion, even in case of incest, rape, or unviable fœtus' way more, even if I find it unhinged. At least they are consistent.

Why? In no other place in the law do we completely ignore any potentially mitigating factors and always seek the maximum penalty. There's nothing more "consistent" about being overly-simplistic in this one area of law when we aren't anywhere else.

Every crime has degrees. There are always factors that affect the severity of punishment. When I say that conservatives see abortion as murder, what I mean is that they see it as falling on the spectrum that includes murder and manslaughter (voluntary and involuntary) etc. All of those people you listed bear legal and moral culpability, but the degree of culpability is something that has to be weighed in light of the facts.

There's also always an element of practical politics: the vast majority of abortions have nothing to do with rape, incest, viability, or threat to the life of the mother. Even allowing for these exceptions (some of which I would argue are in fact morally consistent) would result in a dramatic decline in the number of unborn deaths.
Big doesn't automatically mean stable. Also, the company can be successful, and yet you may not be successful within it.

Ultimately, you just have to take a look at what you are good at, and what companies are likely to value that.
I think you're giving them too little credit. It doesn't seem too implausible that Apple keeps track of how many phones they recycle using their recycling program, and with that number they multiply that by how much recoverable gold is in each phone to get a total amount?

I don't understand people who can't believe that someone could actually hold a complicated set of political perspectives that don't align well with any one party's platform.

There's obviously no way for me to prove it, but I cast a protest vote in 2016 and voted Biden in 2020. I'm exhausted by both parties but currently hate Trump enough to vote Democrat. Hating Trump doesn't mean I have to approve of manipulative hyperbole in Supreme Court dissents.
No, that's not right. The court will decide, and they do give some thoughts/guidance.
Force of habit. No particular reason, "4kiB feels like a nice number", cargo culting. Choose one :) .

It doesn't matter if you have more than 256 bits, as your key file gets hashed with SHA256 at the end[1]. It could be 5GiB it would be the same. So yes, you're right to mention that more bits don't add more security.

It's a lot to process, but I'll try to condense my reply.

All religions in Norway are treated equally. Yes, there are Tax exemptions and financial support, but all religions, faiths and even humanistic organizations get the same benefit. There is no special treatments.

We still have some remnants due to historical and cultural reasons, as is natural (public holidays based on christian traditions), but if you follow a different religion, you have the right to extra days off in addition to the traditional holidays.

The only constitutional remnant is that the King should mention "so help me God" in his oath. But the King is strictly symbolic.

Let's remember the context for my reply. You stated that you saw no reason why India could not have an official religion, because European countries (Norway) had Christianity as an official religion.

My point is what you want is actually a huge difference from what Norway has and it is misleading to include it and many other countries (like Sweden) as examples.

Personally, I would be concerned if religion was mixed with politics. History has shown that it often does not work well.
