I also agree chess is tedious. I feel the same way about Sudoku.

While I enjoy coming up with algorithms as part of my living, I take little pleasure in executing them myself (beyond testing and a few thought exercises to find the right solution).

But as a counterpoint, I thoroughly enjoy games where I build something based on resources I myself have aquired. Whether it's voxels or virtual scrap piles, it is gratifying to earn what I build with.
In many ways it doesn't cancel out. On Mars, things weigh less but their mass is the same. So, for example, if you are walking on Mars at a normal Earth walking speed, and you bump your shin on something, the inertia of your leg as it hits the obstacle is just as great as the inertia of your leg on Earth. In general, a lot of the little physical interactions that you rely on bone strength to get through scale according to mass / inertia (and muscle strength), not weight.
Of course. IP is a shorthand for these types of forums/discussion, although it is also used in court.

I don't believe you can convince your population to raise more children, sure you can make it easier for those that want to, but demographic decline is a worldwide phenomena. It's the endgame of the demographic transition.

What happens in Sweden is mostly due to a resurgence of organized crime. I don't think closing down the country's borders (which, again, isn't feasible by any realistic mean) woulf fix the problem. To find a culprit, you should look at poverty rates which is always much more strongly correlated to crime than ethnicity or whatever else. Here's an article from the Guardian that explores this, for what it's worth: https://theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/30/how-gang-violence-...

When speaking of immigrants I always think of illegal immigrants from Africa, which is what the right talks about anyway. In that regard, I believe my figure of one one thousandth is more accurate.
You don't need a huge number of nuclear weapons to achieve this, you need nuclear weapons in secret and ideally changing locations (i.e. submarines)
A while ago I hacked root on my LG tv, but eventually I gave up on the war against spying/ads and just unchecked all the agreements, unplugged the network from it, and hooked up a $20 Onn 4k tv box instead.

Now it does everything I want. It has an unlockable bootloader, root, can run custom roms, all the good things.

I roast everything myself so I can’t really comment on roasters, but I’d suggest looking for Swiss water processed decaf. Tends to cost more… but I think there’s an associated prestige that makes people care more about the bean quality if you pay for expensive processing.
I use BackInTime, which works in a similar way but is much more configurable. I have hourly backups of all my code for the past day, then a single daily for the past week, etc.

Maybe the answer is for the US government to not regulate these things, but instead somehow allow the EU to regulate them on US soil. (No, I have no idea how that would work legally.)

Because when the EU regulates things like this, the result is usually pretty good. But when the US regulates things, it turns into regulatory capture and only helps the big corporations at the expense of everyone else.

It's a bit like unions: Americans complain about how bad labor unions are, because in the US they didn't work out very well at all. But Europeans like unions, because over there they seem to work pretty well. So obviously, the US just can't do unions properly, just like they can't do a lot of regulation properly (see: FAA/Boeing).
Israel just passed a law calling a UN agency a terrorist organization, thus making them legitimate (in their own twisted minds) targets in an ongoing genocide. Earlier that same legislator denied any prospects for a 2-state solution making it absolutely clear that they aim to at best keep Palestine in a state of domination, what the ICJ has ruled as apartheid.

I think it is a mistake to claim Israel is acting with anything but genocidal intent. Even their own legislator shows this genocidal intent when it validates obviously invalid targets. Their aim is not the removal of Hamas from power in Gaza, but the elimination of civilian order of Palestinians in Gaza. And it is clearly and obviously moving towards that goal.

Hamas is not an existential threat to Israel. They don’t have the military nor political capabilities for that. At best they are a threat to Israels ongoing policies of apartheid. But in that regard, so is the ICJ.
just curious, but why is there always an implicit assumption in this debate that we only tax the wealth of billionaires? is the money of a half billionaire somehow less green than a full billionaire?
The US recently improved trigger accuracy, detonating warheads at precise distances to maximize kills on hardened targets, which had the effect of increasing the number of effective warheads.

They recommend 2 hours so you are not late due to unforeseen issues at security. But a 5:15 (which is the time most airports actually open) there are only a handful of flights and as such, TSA is lightening fast. So that 2 hour recommendation really drops to about 45 minutes

Source: lots of 5:45 flights with the airport security opening at 5:15
So Netflix expects open source community to pick up the maintenance tab ?

I understand how open source proejcts are born, but I struggle to see what is novelty of this project. Just another Java CRUD app with some questionable design choices that are only applicable to netflix:

1. They claim it is distributed system, but it is just a regular Java crud with SQL backend

2. Java-like DSL with parser and classloader (why? Just why?)

How far is it from meeting basic needs? "Basic" should imply very modest living, not even "normal" living standards.

For a living situation "basic" implies a shared space (family or otherwise). For food it would imply enough food to be healthy, but nothing about the form of food.

I think $1000/month/person probably is "basic" income. You can survive on that indefinitely.

(Healthcare is the other big expense, but I don't think UBI can reasonably cover healthcare, it's to complex and variable)
All of the horror stories I've heard from others about earnouts involved "companies with real revenue streams, established histories of revenue, and non-tech business models that don't require exponential growth or 'scale'". There's so many ways that even the most "straightforward" of earnout terms becomes non-straightforward.

I can't speak for Dave Packard (or Bill Hewlett) - but I will try to step in to their shoes:

1) HP started off in test and measurement equipment (voltmeters, oscilloscopes etc.) and built a good reputation up. This was their primary business at the time.

2) The customer base of the HP-35 and test and measurement equipment would have a pretty good overlap.

Suppose the bug had been covered up, found, and then the news about the cover up came to light? Would anyone trust HP test and measurement equipment after that? It would probably destroy the company.
> as customers remained reticent to make the switch away from gas-powered cars.

I find this disingenuous. I think a lot of customer would gladly switch if there was anything electric and remotely affordable.

Liquid propellants are generally less stable than solid fuel. I had read in multiple places (from reputable sources) that you generally couldn’t keep liquid missiles permanently fueled like that. The propellants are extremely corrosive and dangerous.

But you are right that the Titan II is liquid fueled and was kept permanently fueled in the silo. I’m not entirely sure how to resolve those two facts. The Wikipedia page about the Titan II does mention multiple accidents and fatalities related to propellant leaks, so I’m guessing that they were just more risky to operate?
Usually the corporate needs differ too much and they end up keeping their own fork anyway.

The US has tons and tons plutonium from old nuclear weapons. Enough to build tens of thousands of nukes.

Also, centrifuge aren’t used by advanced nations to make nukes. They use plutonium from spent reactor fuel. The US has lots of spent fuel that could be reprocessed for the plutonium.

> there is a clear difference in that those programs have been going on for decades while the 'student loan debt forgiveness' scheme popped into existence at just the right time to attract voters for the upcoming elections

And? You are aware that promising to do things for voters that aren't being done yet is not exactly a Machiavellian scheme. It's how a policy gets started. Do we just not do anything because that would be new and scary? It's a response to the growing balloon of college costs and lack of opportunities for degree holders. Being $100,000+ in debt for no payoff is a scam, not debt relief.

I know you're pretending to play devils advocate but you are transparently being critical of politicians doing the bare minimum of their job because they have a D next to their name. Devils advocate means you are taking a position you don't agree with for the exercise of it. You are making bad faith statements about a party you visibly hate.

> Apart from the fact that both parties are in on the farm subsidy racket - the main difference being that the 'democrats' specifically target 'farmers of colour' through the 'black farmer relief program'

So you think they're both buying peoples votes unethically, but it's worse for the DNC because they're black. Got it. As if white people aren't the most catered to in politics.
Historically, it's also been very useful when you want to murder a black person and get away with it in front of an all-white Southern jury.

Nullification is no more inherently righteous than a butcher knife.
In addition to what lolinder pointed out about a WM being completely unrelated to your package manager choice, I want to reiterate the point made by TaylorAlexander - Kodi is a TV-ish interface that ships with an integrated repository of add-ons that can be installed.

This reminds me of the study they did when they had an old man cross the paths of some test subjects, and then observed that the mere presence of the old man caused the test subjects to perform worse on their tests.

Of course, later it was proven to be all bullshit. Completely made up.

It's a damn shame, but after the reproducibility crisis, I just can't take these studies at face value anymore.

What you are thinking of is (or used to be, called a MIRV, a mulitiple independently-targeted re-entry vehicle). There's still only one atom bomb per warhead, but 6 warheads per mirv. Think of the MIRV like a cylinder on a revolver with 6 warheads per MIRV like the bullets in it. The warhead has the minimum amount of hardware necessary to make it blow up, while the MIRV has the computers and rocket engines on it. So the MIRV zips forward, backward, up down, then releases a warhead at the right moment for the warhead to fall to the ground. (which has no movement capability at all, not even fins). Then the MIRV zips around and releases another warhead and so on until all 6 are gone.

That being said, there are LOTS of ways to deliver warheads. The one that scares me the most is that the Russians have hidden ones pre-positioned in our 40 biggest cities or so.

Fun Fact: The russians don't even have to fire their missiles to wipe us all out. They could set them all off in their silos and create a nuclear winter that would accomplish the same thing.

The US has plenty of any conceivable war. There is probably long time to restart production since haven’t done it in a while.

The big factor is that the deployment platforms are limited. There are 400 Minuteman III missiles sitting in silos. They could put more warheads on them, but those are sitting in storage. The same is true of Trident missiles on submarines.

They could make nuclear gravity bombs but those aren’t really useful. We also have lots of those in storage.

This is an important topic to me, and I'm glad to see one of the "winners" state plainly how much luck is involved in poker, and by analogy, many other areas of life.

I'd love to see articles like this written by someone who did not win, too. It's too bad that people pay less attention to those stories, as he mentioned in the article (c.f. clickbaity title). At least this is a winner admitting the importance of luck, rather than just saying "do what I did, and you can win too!" [1]

I'm surprised there was no mention of modern machine learning "solvers" for poker, which can get very close to perfect play. The game is not truly solved in the game-theoretic sense, but so close as to make very little difference, as I understand it. Some professional players do strange things like look at the second hand of their watch, as a source of randomness as input to their decision making, since ideal play requires some true randomness in your actions.[2]

So, in addition to the "results-based vs. process-based" angles presented in the article, I'd say there's also a "mathematics-based" consideration. At least for poker, where all the rules are perfectly clear. Harder to apply that to real-life poker-esque situations like founding startups, of course.

> eBPF lets you watch. Congrats. It’s something, but it’s not the reason why these tools are deployed. Orgs deploy these tools to prevent or stop potentially bad stuff from executing

eBPF let's you prevent things too. seccomp filters can block syscalls.

The bigger problem is the performance you mentioned in 1. Crowdstrike's linux agent can work using eBPF instead of a kernel module, and will fall back to that if the current kernel version is more recent than the agent supports. But... then it uses up a lot more CPU.
There was an incident where a technician dropped a large socket down a silo that impacted the side of a Titan missile and set off a chain of events that ended in an explosion that nearly detonated a nuclear bomb on US soil.
These used to be called "commercial displays". I don't know if they're still sold. Costs more than a smart TV, but is dumb.
> you can't keep a liquid-fuelled rocket permanently fueled so the Minuteman was developed as a solid rocket fuel booster.

You absolutely can! The Soviet doctrine was to use storable liquid propellants in their ICBMs - typically unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) as the fuel and nitrogen tetroxide as the oxidiser. I don’t know if they need the fuel/oxidiser replaced periodically but that combination is storable for over a decade.

The US went with solid rockets as they are more reliable - no turbines or valves etc - at the expense of performance, but the US perfected making large solid rockets before the USSR. The USSR however perfected oxidiser-rich staged combustion which extracted a lot more performance.

Storable liquid propellants are still used on satellites and deep space missions that need to perform large course corrections during their missions.
Tyranny of majority is of course possible!

In general, parliaments will always have issues where there is no one representing them. For example privacy, encryptation, drug issues are commonly underrepresented here in Europe. This means for example that altough 1% agrees that privacy laws matter most to them, they may not have representatives. Additionally, the existence of parties in the parliament may lead to suppression of the "represenativeness" of certain representatives.

Then, ALSO, representative democracy encourages politicians to make decisions to maximize vote count, instead of "good" alternatives. Additionally, with direct democracy if you really want to go against someone, you need to either make very clever legislation with a hole that others won't notice or to gain majority support for that. To convince a majority to vote to suppress your enemies can be difficult. If for nothing else, for the fact that small parliaments are likely to have disproportionate numbers of psychopathic and/or incompetent representatives at times.

Voters tend to choose based on partisan loyalties and short-term possibly out-of-control events rather than holding politicians accountable for decision-making. If there are no representatives to hold accountable, this is not as much of problem. Past elections can be reviewed in time, say new decisions by default re-voted biannually, to minimize the short term bias. This is called "Continuous" voting.

Direct democracy has worked well for the Swiss. With modern technology I do not believe that at scale continuous direct democracy where one gets to vote from their phone on elections rolling every 24, 36 or 48 hours would fail.

Balance of power can of course be handled with (1) ministeries (2) presidential elections (3) judges. One could say that ministeries are representative, but the reality is that ministers (1) cannot form coalitions like parliaments (2) have measurable highly clear "performance" which can be tied to salary (3) will be much more likely chosen to represent what voters want because in every election for health minister the voters will be solely divided based on what they want from health minister, whereas representative democracy makes minister and other seats strategic tools.
> no mechanism for the US to launch a partial nuclear attack

Yep, the trajectory to North Korea (from US mainland) has to pass over Russia and the Russians have to trust that it's not coming for them.

Not that Russia would be okay with us striking NK in the first place, but you get the point.
Plenty of manufacturing tolerances that could explain that, firstly look at overclocking in general - different examples of the exact same CPU will be highly varaible in how you can overclock, undervolt, etc ("Silicon Lottery")

Also a bunch of the power, voltage and frequency stuff depends on the motherboard BIOS settings and you may be surprised if you don't follow the enthusiast circles just how much influence the BIOS has over the CPU power, frequency, etc. Different motherboards can also net you quite different performance, both by default and by tweaking settings, plus may have cleaner or less clean power, etc.
I know this adds complexity, but one way to handle this is simply transparency, and another way is to add choice: on the donation web page, give donors a choice if they want their money to possibly be used to fund other, related projects, that might be short on funding, and then list those projects. Funding ffmpeg, for instance, seems fair since it's a dependency. They could also just make a selection matrix on the donation page, allowing people to select allowed recipients, so for instance they could allow the Android client, and disallow the Windows client.

The Mozilla case shows why it's bad to not have transparency.
