They also had / have very deep spy networks of socialist sympathizers stealing secrets, including huge ones like plans for The Bomb.

A significant amount of Soviet military “research” was done in the West.
I live in Oak Park, and have been doing a bit of archival research about this (it's been politically relevant lately, for complicated reasons). Soffer's book ("Our Nazi") is very well written, better than you'd expect for what I assumed (wrongly) would be just a local interest story.

This all happened back in 1982-1984. I don't think you're going to find a lot of living camp guards in the US work force today.

The craziest detail about this story is that, in the early 1980s, there was an organized effort to pressure the White House and pass legislation to make it impossible to deport Nazis. The effort was led by a group of Baltic and Eastern European ethnic affinity groups, largely out of Chicago. They were called "Americans For Due Process", and their ambition was to pass legislation requiring something like an international Nuremberg Tribunal process in order to anyone deported.

Reinhold Kulle, the specific Nazi in Soffer's story, was not a sympathetic case. He volunteered for the SS Totenkopf, guarded Gross-Rosen, assisted its evacuation to Mauthausen, lied about it when immigrating to the US, lied about the camp (claiming its victims were never beaten, shot, or killed) to investigators and in court, and ultimately confessed to those lies before being deported to West Germany, where he lived out his days (still collecting an OPRF pension!) as a free man.

Other cases were more complicated. One person was almost deported before evidence was discovered conclusively showing he had been confined to a work camp for the duration of the war. Two others were deported to Soviet controlled countries where they had been sentenced to death in absentia.
You ask why do this when data is cheap. The problem is that data isn't cheap for everyone.

You have access to a nice plan - and that's good - but not all EU countries have nice plans and cheap prices. Someone in, say, Portugal doesn't have a local "100GB for €20" offer. They probably also can't get the same offer you can because your provider will ask them for a local address, a local bank account, there will be a different language, etc.

Most providers also have rules on how long you can use roaming for, so it's unlikely that you can just pick a plan from a French provider and use it in Germany (or multiple countries) for a year straight... For that you'll need a travelling eSIM or something like that, but is anyone offering a travelling eSIM with 100GB for €20 a month?

Essentially your mistake is assuming that everyone in Europe can get 100GB for €20. Some can, some can't. And that's the problem.
I have used Kotlin professionally for a couple-few years; and, in my experience, infix operations are a choice and you don't have to use them. - in fact, I don't think any bit of code in anything I've used uses infix operations, this is my first time seeing them in Kotlin in the wild.

For example, I haven't used them even once.

That said, I, personally, have done almost no Android programming in Kotlin, so perhaps I'm missing the main environment where such things are done? For me, Kotlin has mostly been an aggressive amount of syntactic sugar to make Java a nice experience?

And most of the DSL-style code that I write uses function pointers as the last parameter, so I can do doTheThing(parameters) { anonymous function } and that's about it?

I'm sorry that the organization you work with has aggressive bikeshedding. Perhaps this is something your organization, in general, could have a conversation about?
Right, and the point of banned book weed is to highlight books that have been 'curated' from school libraries so that members of the community can review the works and give feedback.

Nope. Due to retreating blade stall, only a few helicopter models such as the CH-47 can hit a top speed of 200mph, and then only with a light load for a short time. They certainly don't have enough fuel to sustain that speed for hours. High sustained speeds require a fundamentally different design such tilt rotor or compound.

With crude oil tankers decades ago the indicators were the bigger the better financially, so that's what was done, and bigger ships were built and financial gains realized.

It was only proven how big was too big once a few ultra-large had been built, and the point of diminishing returns had been exceeded enough so accurate math could finally be accomplished.

Routine commercial operation has been scaled back decades ago to less than the max.

Less than the max that is physically possible, focused now more accurately on better returns.

Your homework is to go find a teenager and ask them:

What is a bodkin?

What is "contumely"?

What is "dispriz’d love"?

What does "his quietus make" mean?

Finally, you can give them the entire passage and ask, what is Hamlet actually contemplating here?

A abnormally well-read teenager stands a chance at that last one... but only a chance. An average teenager does not.

I will be blunt. I don't believe you read it "without any issues". Either you're just saying that so you don't bear the dread stigma of "couldn't read Shakespeare", you had a commentary you were reading it with, or you don't even know what you were missing. That's just a single portion of one famous passage from Hamlet. The plays are rife with these issues, it's not like those are the four missing vocabulary things that you need to know to read Shakespeare and after that it's smooth sailing. I could read 18th century stuff in school fairly comfortably and read into the 17th century, I know what's that's like, and even then Shakespeare was something I could just barely catch the main plot for. The innuendo, the subtext, the historical interrelationships, much of the actual literature of the literature, no way. The change hasn't happened in the past 20 years, it's the past 100 at least.

And people need to stop pretending otherwise. People need to stop pretending that, oh, yes, I totally caught Shakespeare's commentary on the politics of medieval Italy, quite obvious really, who could be stupid enough to miss it it's so obvious to anyone? It's not helping. It's hurting people and turning them off to literature. It needs to stop.

Hemingway is hard because people demand explicit. The story behind the obvious is what makes The Sun Also Rises so powerful. It defined the lost generation. It was the 1920s version of Clerks.

Definitely not cell signal everywhere, the town I'm in has it, but go on a longer hiking trip into the mountains and you can potentially be 20-30 miles from the nearest house/road/person with zero cell service on any provider.

Even just a few miles up the OHV trail near my house has no service anymore. Pretty much none of the mountain area around the valley does.

That said I carry a garmin inreach, because while stuff like meshtastic is handy to link groups together and use for fun and utility, for safety you want something that works anywhere.

Good! The "vibes" are real. We don't live in Star Trek, we live in Black Mirror. We dont have a world where Superman would exist, we would have Homelander.

The ability for an authority to have perfect knowledge of who is in every area of a city, and conversely to have instant access to where every person is, is terrifying.

At no point in human history has society been built on expecting perfect, uniform enforcement of laws and that has gone from "beyond wildest imagination" to technically doable in two generations.
If this is true -- and I think it is -- then YouTube, Instagram, Roblox, most of the mobile gaming industry, and loads of other infinite dopamine hit machines are guilty of the same thing.

I'm very glad my kids have never really even seen TikTok. We had to ban YouTube, and doing so was possibly the single best boundary we've set as parents. If we hadn't we'd probably have never spoken to our kids again. They'd get on that thing and just be gone for unlimited amounts of time watching the most mindless idiotic trash you can imagine. These days YT is getting even worse. It's full of AI slop including pop science channels full of completely false AI-generated information. It's absolutely cursed.

I guess TikTok is like everything bad about YouTube but with less attention span and controlled by the CCP.

Makes more sense when you realize the purpose of Nazi hunting wasn't really to catch enough of them to establish some level of justice.

Nintendo doesn't necessarily need advertising, because their franchises are so strong. I think people know there's gonna be a new Mario Party, or new Mario Kart, or new 3D Mario game, and they'll buy them if they like those games. Odds are if you like Mario Party 8 then Superstars will be right up your alley.

Nintendo also has the somewhat unique position of being the only one providing high-quality games in a variety of categories. If you want a couch racing game, you're playing nintendo. If you want a 3D platformer, you're playing nintendo. If you want a couch party games, you're playing nintendo. In fact if you want couch co-op at all you're playing nintendo, pretty much everyone else gave it up because you lose money.

re: Shakespeare, any edition of the plays that high school or undergrad students are being asked to read will have line/word glosses that address the vocabulary problem. When I read Shakespeare in high school we also read key passages aloud together in class and discussed the meaning, and in some cases were asked to memorize a passage. We covered one Shakespeare play in each of my four years of high school, and I got plenty out of it.
I think it would negate the RAM savings, but it would also reduce the amount of storage needed at rest and possibly reduce initial start up times depending on storage speed and model size. So, possibly good for low-end models on consumer devices?

> No, but it does mean it's less sophisticated than a work which does have such prose.

I disagree with that take on sophistication. As a counterexample, Hemingway's work is a masterclass on sophisticated prose done with minimal language, but I wouldn't want to read Pride and Prejudice in Hemingway's style. There isn't one yardstick for "sophistication".

The Odyssey is an interesting example of this (and one the author uses). I was taught the Fagles translation. That translation is not easy to read, and in many ways its choice of language is a distraction from studying the literature. I wouldn't pick that translation for my own children, even if I feel that they should at some point study The Odyssey, which I do.

We should be treating these works as what they are: literary classics, but in a historic dialect, where part of the literary exercise is the archeological/anthropological dig through the prose. As far as I can tell, that's how the author is approaching it, and I don't think calling it out that way is lowering any bar.
It is not about how much it can store. You cannot wish away the charging losses. There are no losses to pumping gas into a tank. Nor can you wish away the losses in the charger itself. Converting AC to DC is hardly 100% efficient.
Einstein laid the foundation of quantum mechanics with his description of the photoelectric effect, so you could add transistors, lasers, LEDs, CCD sensors and more to the list. Although I agree that it's doubtful that most of this could have been foreseen then.

I agree that the tariffs and trade embargoes are destructive. However I'm not convinced that the central planning policies are optimal either. The US's over-financialization can be viewed as a destructive policy of the central bank. It is also worth noting that China has tariffs, capital controls and a central bank incentivizing misallocations in the real estate sector.

In short, it is all bad, all around with some areas of "less bad".

In other words, you read a translation but with extra steps.

We might as well cut out the extra steps.

I did say that there's plenty of literary content there, but there's no reason to jam the original in student's faces and insist "THIS! THIS IS LITERATURE! oh by the way here's the definition of every tenth word and commentary on every third phrase".
In distributed banking back-ends, if one of your datacenters goes down, you don't take down the other one for safety. You don't force global consistency/linearity of all transactions before allowing UI updates. There are delays in financial reconciliation all the time, the important thing is they are eventually consistent with a ledger, not that if one thing fails, you stop the train. And the reality of distributed systems is things fail constantly. Hard drives, networks, bugs, clock drift...

This is in contrast to something like a supercomputer, or a distributed map-reduce job, where if one node fails as part of a distributed process, it will corrupt your data, and you have the luxury to stop the whole thing, fix the issue, and restart the whole process.

> Things like core and std are not part of the current certification package

As with C++ I'm not sure this makes coherent sense because of the relationship between the language and some elements of the supporting libraries - with respect to `core` specifically, the Rust programming language requires some of core.

Suppose you write a for loop. In Rust that's just sugar, and it's de-sugared into a loop that uses IntoIterator::into_iter, Iterator::next, Option::Some and Option::None which are all from the core library.
Stop going to the loo 20 times a day. Someone still has to clean up after you.

Most kids I see around are easily on the first category.
I get what you're saying. I have no evidence and no inside information. It could be a conspiracy, but I doubt it. It could just be multiple individuals independently being uncomfortable with tacitly approving a huge company they see as potentially responsible for privacy problems, ethics problems and AI misuse. I don't see these as invalid concerns either. And I don't see being conflicted about giving an award to an employee of a company tied to big ethical concerns as anti-science or having a lack of integrity.

Discovering breakthroughs in machine learning is a profound achievement and deserves to be recognized. Wielding powerful tools against humanity for the sake of money, not so much. But, like I said, I could be dead wrong, and this is probably why I wouldn't be a good person to serve on one of these committees.
Did you never read Shakespeare in school? You are not asked to read the bare text, there are glosses in the margins. Go look at the Amazon preview of a Folger library Shakespeare play, e.g. [0].

An interesting bit, on not making it too easy for people to circumvent the borrow checker:

> First, we use a C++ compiler to build gccrs, disabling the borrow-checking pass of the compiler. It is important to ensure borrow-checking cannot be disabled at runtime using a command line flag, as this could have a negative impact on the Rust ecosystem – however, building gccrs without borrow-checking to use it as an intermediate compiler in our bootstrapping process is okay.
