If you can buy it. My mother had chronic nutritional issues because of rationing stuff to those who needed it the most. Cheap generic, just without enough production capacity because the price was forced too low.
Russian EW is so far ahead of the US that even Excalibur shells are useless. Most of the missiles the US provides Ukraine have had to be updated constantly. Not saying it doesn't have it's place but it will need to fly without GPS or have some serious anti EW capabilities. They should send it to Ukraine and see how it works out for them. That will be the acid test....

Too bad there’s no pics of the machine running.
It is subjective language but for me "near flawless" is a reasonable expectation for a qualification flight. Not perfect because that is unreasonable. A leaking toilet would have been fine if Starliner had one. It isn't a critical system. An off-nominal thruster or two would also be acceptable. They have redundancy for a reason.

The helium leaks were not desirable but helium is difficult. Boeing engineers could demonstrate the rate of the leaks did not threaten the mission so it was manageable.

The thruster issues are completely different. Boeing couldn't present NASA with a convincing model of how the thrusters would perform. If they can't characterize such a fundamental part of the vehicle it is impossible to make an informed decisions which is a huge fail.

In hindsight a cargo first experience would have been valuable for commercial crew whether the winner was Sierra, NG or Boeing however that would have disqualified Sierra and Boeing. Boeing's involvement in commercial crew legitimized it politically. Boeing directly, via acquisition and through their suppliers including Aerojet have decades of experience in space flight far beyond SpaceX at the time. Boeing were not the underdogs.
Hear your concerns but don't you have to look at what your enemy is doing and use that as the barometer for whether you're sufficiently innovative? Seeing Ukraine barely eke through shows we need low cost options
Yea the cameras aren’t really the problem. The problem is that the police are free to reach for any level of violence they want, no matter whether the situation calls for it, and are immune from repercussions. Even when the cameras are rolling, nothing stops them from beating and killing at will.

Thanks for the link! One of the quite astounding things about gnuplot is that it continues to make steady progress, decade after decade, not stagnating or flaming out, without massive attention or lots of institutional support, and with great backwards compatibility. From the outside at least, it seems to be a very well run project, with admirable long term focus.

Indeed, but that doesn't effect most people since most people are not on high salaries.

It should help for people like my mother, who get paid sweet fuck all but are expected to work 10-12 hour days, where 1-3 of it is homework and they are effectively on call 24/7 without compensation.

There will be countless exceptions but it's a good thing to have in law, so it can be taken to the ombudsman or used in court.

This. When companies don’t list prices, it automatically gives me a “they want to rip you off” vibe. Put in the effort and define enterprise pricing. If you later find that it isn’t right, change it.
My understanding is that they own the aerodynamic test article, the non-space prototype, equivalent to the Shuttle Enterprise. That's why it has the extra engines. It was able to takeoff from a runway. The big green cylinder in the cargo bay is the fuel tank.

1. The way I see it, Medina is either lying or an idiot. His signature is on the approval for SOP 2-8 which mandates the activation of OBRD; so did he sign it without reading it or willfully ignore it? Neither is acceptable of the chief of police. Besides, he has had extensive interaction with the disciplinary process and must understand the principles of e.g. Garrity protections.

2. Some of the details of this story relate to the particular structure of police oversight in Albuquerque. Albuquerque was an early city to face a DOJ consent decree, and perhaps for that reason many decisions were made that appear, in hindsight, to have been mistakes. Unfortunately, attempts to fix these problems have usually taken the form of adding more oversight bodies. The result is a complex set of internal and external review boards with differing scopes and jurisdictions. No small number of serious incidents become lost in the morass of overlapping review boards, leading to delays that often push them out of the CBA timeline for imposing discipline. There is a lesson here about designing oversight programs.

3. Corruption in APD's professional standards bureau has been an ongoing concern, with a former commanding officer recently removed in relation to a bribery scandal. Despite this context, Medina seems oddly untouchable. This can mostly be attributed to the strong support that he, for some reason, receives from mayor Tim Keller. One speculates that Keller is afraid of appearing "soft on crime" given the political focus on public safety. There is a mechanism for City Council to remove the Chief of Police but it is indirect and requires two supermajority votes. There have been attempts but so far they have not succeeded. Through the indirectness of politics, a public focus on safety and crime seems to have a tendency to engender blind support for the police, and ironically City Council's opposition to APD leadership mostly comes not from civil rights and accountability concerns but from, well, the perception that they are ineffective even in busting heads.

4. The DOJ consent decree period is now coming to an end, the department having been deemed to have met reform requirements. While the decade of DOJ-supervised reform efforts was expensive in time and money, it's not clear that it's really changed anything on the ground. APD policy has significantly improved, but even by the observations of the DOJ's monitor, compliance is not very good. Paperwork efforts can only get you so far, a cautionary tale for other cities undergoing a DOJ reform process.

Perhaps the national attention on this incident will lead to some good... I think the only thing that can be done right now is to put pressure on the mayor's office to insist on major change in the leadership of APD.
Are there any edge cases or things to be aware of when using this, or is it pretty much plug&play? I'm thinking of using this in one of my projects.
iOS Beta Testers Needed: Receipt Categorizer
The practical concern for my colleagues and me is that we're OS/kernel developers for an operating system that isn't currently supported. I had to fight these kind of problems to get java ported to our OS, and a coworker had to do it for rust, which was much much harder. And he did end up having to start from one of the earliest versions and compile nearly every blasted version between then and now to get the latest. It's a royal pain and a major time sink. If there were a viable rustc that was written in C or even C++ at the time, we could have been done in a few days. Instead it took months.
'Defence Industry' (emphasis on defence) is a bit new-speak. It's hard to see a cruise missile as 'defensive' (yeah, I know the rationalisations that leads to offence being a kind of defence).

did aussies not have this right, earlier?

I don't know if it should even be called a right, because it seems obvious.

to me, it sound more like an attack by employers on employees, to say they cannot do such a thing - before this so-called "right" was ”given".

It sets the rules, workers will have to fight for it to be followed still. But sociopathic management now knows workers have a foot to stand on in court, enterprises will be inclined to make it policy. Less sociopathic management might realise they were being assholes and dial it back a bit. Some managers genuinely don't realise that the current "norm" is not fair, since they are deep in the zeitgeist.

Countless exceptions sure but there's no denying this is a good attempt at change.
That sounds like an EU success story - the bureaucrats aren't getting the way so Lidl is free to set up an AWS competitor. The EU isn't supposed to be a tech company, the point of companies is that they should be doing the part where services get provided. The US government was not a direct player in setting up AWS.

The danger would be if Gaia-X were kicking goals and laying down the law ... and had banned Lidl from setting up their own cloud until all the paperwork was signed off by 13 major committees, 666 undersecretaries of The Cloud and the High Bureaucrat was satisfied that there was a genuine market need for a new AWS competitor.

The EU has a lot of clever and motivated people. If the legal situation wasn't blocking success I expect they would succeed.
No, voting in the US is a right for US citizens only. I think you need to do some reflection yourself on why you think fraud or perception of fraud is not important. It seems like there are ways to solve these problems without resorting to nonsense policies like "anyone can vote without id."
Apple Rethinks Its Movie Strategy After a String of Misses
Naomi Wu did some videos/articles about this and was working on some sort of product you could setup. Things like a light that shone upwards in a room to clean the air above people's heads.

My main take-away was this was very easy to screw up and cause eye damage, especially in an home setting where less care would be taken.
say, when 1-10% of a country's (or state's, or whatever) citizens are users of the service, someone should pop their head in and say "we need a different legal strategy for retention and user onboard/offboard."

It should be taught in MBA, and VCs should tell startups that aim to get "millions" of users that they need to plan, in advance, for this sort of thing.

This isn't really a gotcha, i'd put a hard line somewhere around "10% of the global population" as needing extreme scrutiny.
You may try sitting near a completely open-space developer and watch what they are doing, and see the 10x performance drop on average, while there was zero privacy on screen at all times. It helps to realize that people not always behave logically (we have lots of group instincts legacy) and it doesn’t always work as a proper argument.

There is some discussion below about evil, part of my study.

There could evil as judgement, as nature, as action, as consequences or as being.

One starting point is somehow someone can judge a being, a thought, an action and a consequence as evil. Is killing … it depends upon context so much … or should we just back to I or God or whoever think it is evil itbis evil?

Action if assume above seems easy. I or some beings know it is evil or not and act on it. It is an evil act.

It is when consequence are considered it is really complicated. It can change over time as an evil act can have good consequence in certain place and time.

Nature as evil or not is part of one major Buddha sect - Tien Tai claim Buddha has evil in its nature forever just not do it (if … )

Evil as a being like God?

The problem of evil in the religion context has a much wider issue one has to consider.

This is not true anymore, as advertising to patients has been the major driver of growth, perhaps due to Medicare and the rise of expensive biologics, leading to advertising to consumers becoming the predominant sink.

In 2016, pharma companies spent more on direct to consumer ads than they spend on marketing to doctors (excluding free samples, which are somewhere in between, though ultimately the drug being free is really of concern to the patient far more than the doctor), see: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2720029

In 2016, we have 9.6 billion in direct-to-consumer spending, 13.5 billion in free samples, and 6.8 billion in everything else. So clearly, advertising to consumers is the dominant venue.

Your mistake is assuming Facebook's algorithm isn't written to be exactly like you explained.

"The algorithm is poor" is not a thing anymore, algorithms are easy to get right and even easier to break on purpose for their own benefit.

No large corporation actually serves their algorithm for you any more. That's why TikTok got so popular, their algorithm actually worked for you for a long time.
But that doesn't conform to the "Descent Principle" described in the article.

I haven't really been following Zig, but I still felt slightly disappointed when I learnt that they were just replacing a source-based bootstrapping compiler with a binary blob that someone generated and added to the source tree.

The thing that makes me uncomfortable with that approach is that if a certain kind of bug (or virus! [0]) is found in the compiler, it's possible that you have to fix the bug in multiple versions to rebootstrap, in case the bug (or virus!) manages to persist itself into the compilation output. The Dozer article talks about the eventual goal of removing all generated files from the rustc source tree, ie undoing what Zig recently decided to do.

If everything is reliably built from source, you can just fix any bugs by editing the current source files.

I agree that production volume during high intensity wartime is important but most of the time isn't high intensity wartime.

The US is procuring a couple hundred cruise missiles per year right now, and unit cost isn't the reason they aren't buying more. If 100% of volume went to Ares (it won't) at 1/10th the cost, would that even be a sustainable business model? US manufacturing with US based input suppliers isn't cheap and neither are security cleared workforces.
thank you, very much.

!! oh wow, they actually support the full open-circuit voltage that my panels can be series linked* to reach! the only thing i saw many years ago was like... the power wall!

Not only that, it can run every panel i currently own all by itself. that is a leap forward, compared to the last time i checked (a decade ago or so, it was depressing to want a separate solar grid, you need the grid tie stuff so you can run your house if the power goes out, but i mostly wanted the solar to manage water and lights and if possible, the small window/wall aircons that i use to keep servers cool.

In this world of super cheap standoff weapons, I don't think incrementalism makes sense. It may not even make sense today. In the first few days of conflict with China, we'll basically blow each other up and we'll be back to MAD. Even if we're slightly better and survive with a few ships, I don't think China will be like, "Oh - you used conventional weapons to annihilate our fleet - that's fair, we won't retaliate with nuclear."
This is why abolitionists were mostly always against body cameras from the beginning. They would never have allowed them to become widespread without a way to control the usage of the camera and release of the footage. It is just another thing they can use against you but is powerless against them. It was never going to be a tool of accountability.

Tools and training aren't the problem with police, tools and training won't fix the problems with police.
Great work. It's esp. interesting that this is an acronym. You should submit a correction.
Once they're selling enough cruise missiles they will likely make other related items.

>"I want to be clear: best practice, ideologically-pure end-to-end apps like Signal absolutely face the same ratchet. What I’m mostly trying to understand here is why Telegram and Blackberry get more publicy targeted."

IMHO it's mainly due to the popularity of the service/product. The concentration of bad actors and the vastness of the audience/userbase make the difference. If Signal was used in the same way, it would get the same attention.
The generated C code could contain a backdoor. Generated C is not really auditable so there would be no way to tell that the code is compromised.
I don't disagree with your concerns. In fact, I think they are overlooked by so many people.
