I would argue that "Counquer countries 10x your size" is a misrepresentation as generally the British (and other European powers) conquered lands in which there were multiple small kingdoms or relatively sparse populations of tribes or similar. That is certainly the case in North America and Oceania and I would argue also the case in India and Africa too.
Maybe someone could take the time to explain how it actually works. Somehow I missed it in my engineering education.

You have a bladder that goes around someone's arm, and it is inflated. It slowly deflates, and somehow this tells you the pressure in the blood vessels inside the arm.

But that raises some questions:

1) Your arm isn't just blood vessel, most of it is bone and muscle. And fat.

2) How does the inflation help? What about the deflation?

3) What is on the other end of the device?

I have not checked for a while, always went for the 1y. But it seem to no longer be the case.
I would even say the two real-life examples given in the blog are not Gettier cases at all.
Gettier is about the cause of the "knowledge," not about knowledge of the cause.

For the autofocus example, if the statement in question was "my patch broke the autofocus," it would not be Gettier because it is not true (the unrelated pushed changes did);
if the statement in question was "my PR broke the autofocus," it would not be Gettier because it is JTB, and the justification (it was working before the PR, but not after) is correct, i.e., the cause of the belief, the perception, and deduction, are correct;
Same if the statement in question was "the autofocus is broken."

It would be Gettier if the person reporting the bug was using an old (intact) version of the app but was using Firefox with a website open in another window on another screen, which was sending alerts stealing the focus.

The most common example of true Gettier cases in software dev is probably the following:
A user reports a bug but is using an old version, and while the new version should have the bug fixed, it's still there.

The statement is "the current version has the bug."
The reporter has Justified Belief because they see the bug and recently updated, but the reporter cannot know, as they are not on the newest version.
Interval training involves alternating between periods of high-intensity activity and lower-intensity recovery or rest. These sessions can vary in length and intensity, making interval training highly adaptable to different fitness levels and goals. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, this approach ensures that you can maximize your workout efficiency and continually challenge your body.

anecdote on their usefulness.
I recently had my yearly inspection, _without_ xrays (which she said it was probably about time for "next time").
A month later, I had pain in a rear molar, and went for a checkup. They reacted "that is not good, because that tooth is root-treated - no nerves, so pain from a place without nerves is not good".
They then did an xray, which revealed the tooth had started rotting - a lot - inside, from below.
They advised extraction - now a week ago. It turned out the tooth had a hidden fracture in the roots. It was not visible on the xrays - only its hollowing result - but evident once the tooth was out; it came out in two pieces.
Just an anecdote, but this would be caught by the 2-3 year xray, and because of the missing nerve, it was pretty bad/serious when I finally felt it myself.
I'm not advocating the yearly xray, but the semi-annual makes sense to me.

You’re twisting my words. Oh the lengths you have to go to justify openbsd to yourself.
Sounds good does not work.

Reminds me of CargoLifter:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CargoLifter

The german article states that the price the Zeppelin GmbH (yes those guys) calculated, that the costs of transportation via airship, would be about 10 times as high as conventional methods.

CargoLifter used helium which is stupidly expensive, this is supposed to use hydrogen and more modern materials but i think that does not make a factor of 10.

Also "current FAA guidance disallows the use of hydrogen as a lifting gas". So good luck with that.

As you burn fuel you must either gain weight or vent gas.

Old Airships had either rain collectors (yep really) or piston engines which burned gas with a similar density to air (which digs a lot into your carrying capacity and volume).

Venting helium is way to expensive and one of the reasons CargoLifter failed, was that they never managed to get water collection running.

This article and the linked website have no idea how to solve the propulsion problem. There is some stuff about turbines going with the the old Zeppelin approach, of burning gas. Or something about solar cells, which obviously would not work because solar cells are rigid and heavy but this is supposed to be semi rigid. And you would need heavy batteries too.

Also airships sink when they get wet.
And it gets warm the gas expands and it rises. You need ballast to account for that; this is large so it will do that a lot.

Don't forget how stupidly large these things are and thus how much wind is a problem.
The linked website claims a predicted length of 388 and width of 78 Meters minimum!

So maneuverability is going to be a large problem, you can overcome this by adding lots of propellers everywhere but that add weight and uses fuel.

Now imagine a 388x78 m giant filled with hydrogen, with hordes of engines everywhere, dropping of a bunch of containers at some delivery center...

Since wind might be coming from every direction you need a landing circle (!) of roughly a km in diameter.
This is why old Zeppelins landed at large (!) airstrips or sometimes on masts attached to skyscrapers.

Then cargo gets loaded off and ballast of the same weight must be moved onto the ship.

That ballast has to go somewhere, so the ship either needs water tanks (again loss of carrying capacity). Or the landing strip has some attachable ballast (how do you transport that back and forth?).

If you have the infrastructure to accommodate this thing you can be reached by truck or rail, which is cheaper, not depended on weather and so on...
And weirdly enough you can be reached by cargo aircraft which is a solved problem!

Door to door delivery was exactly what CargoLifter was supposed to do. But it was basically a more expensive and clunky helicopter. Thus it failed.
> Root for the ambitious… The alternative is to ignore or tear them down.

Some resources are mostly zero-sum, support being one. That means that buying their product or even buying their stock means not supporting their competitors.

At this point, after so many hollow promises from Tesla, why shouldn't the money support plenty of other competitors as well?
Yeah, like saying 'tetherball' or 'keep-away' to someone in the US; which I only know from a Monk episode I watched last night.

From Wikipedia, "Daemon is actually a much older form of "demon"; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality"

That being said, while the etymology of the term may not be directly referring to the modern rendition as the "devil", doesn't the logo (red thing with horns and trident) directly reference it (as a pun on daemon/demon)?

In some sense I do _understand_ where the person in OP's story is coming from. We imbue words and images with power through collective culture (Stallman certainly has remarked on the power of a name, see [1]), and if you had placed great (negative) emotional weight behind a concept, then you would be distressed to see it in something you interact with.

Ironically I think if the actual logo ended up being the "bad taste" version Wikipedia mentions as

>a picture of the BSD Daemon blowtorching a Solaris logo

it'd actually end up as more acceptable since it now gets framed as a narrative ("why a demon? Because who else would dare take on solaris")

Slightly worrying that evidence-based dentistry wasn't the default position (though not surprising).

English can be language of commercial aviation for safety reasons however no such requirement is bound on software development in general.
Mathematicians already explored exactly what you describe: this is the difference between classical logic and intuitionistic logic:

In classical logic statements can be true in and of themselves even if there as no proof of it, but in intuitionistic logic statements are true only if there is a proof of it: the proof is the cause for the statement to be true.

In intuitionistic logic, things are not as simple as "either there is a cow in the field, or there is none" because as you said, for the knowledge of "a cow is in the field" to be true, you need a proof of it. It brings lots of nuance, for example "there isn't no cow in the field" is a weaker knowledge than "there is a cow in the field".

Just because the US has a lot of area doesn't mean it should all be paved over and turned into solar farms. "Who needs nature and green spaces? It could be cheap electricity instead" is a mindset the next generation will hate us for, just like our generation resents previous generations for thinking "Why not burn coal? It's cheap electricity and there's lots of air left."

The US has a massive green space problem. It's a country of roads, parking lots, and corn fields and it's a problem that's visible from space.

Don't take this as opposing solar energy. I support it versus fossil fuels. But if nuclear is viable, I'm for it.
One of the biggest problems with superconducting QCs is qubit connectivity. Ideally you want to be able to have all-to-all connectivity, because you want to apply multi-qubit gates on any subset of qubits. With superconducting QCs, qubits are literally connected physically with (kind of) wires. Each connector is another qubit-like component which is driven by classical analog instrument, which again requires a wire going into the chip. It's basically impossible in practice to build a fully connected 100 qubit chip today, for example.

I don't know a lot about photonic QCs, but it at least "solves" this issue: you can apply a signal on multiple qubits at once and you don't need to build a physical connection between them. You also don't need near absolute zero temperatures.

EDIT: sorry, I was thinking of trapped-ion QCs, not photonic!

The company I work at is developing (among other things) chips with a so-called computational resonator[1]: think of a long "bus" to which multiple qubits are connected. As a result, you essentially get all-to-all connectivity with intermediate state moves.

Constantly working in what OP describes as defence might also be negatively affecting the perception of cause and effect of own actions:

Specifically, we show that individuals following clock-time [where tasks are organized based on a clock**] rather than event-time [where tasks are organized based on their order of completion] discriminate less between causally related and causally unrelated events, which in turn increases their belief that the world is controlled by chance or fate. In contrast, individuals following event-time (vs. clock-time) appear to believe that things happen more as a result of their own actions.[0]

** - in my experience, clock based organisation seems to be very characteristic to what OP describes as defensive, when you become driven by incoming priorities and meetings

Broader article about impact of schedules at [1] is also highly relevant and worth the read.

Ask HN: How do you talk to users, your potential customers?
I'm Jagan, co-founder of a startup based in Chennai. Two years ago, I started this company with two childhood friends, Deepak and Ajay. We initially tried building large-scale B2C platforms like a food delivery service and an event booking platform. The event booking platform shut down in a month, and the food delivery startup scaled to 100 orders but failed due to lack of funds. We pivoted to IT services and made decent money, but we didn’t enjoy it and wanted to build a product of our own.

We decided to build a SaaS platform since Chennai is the SaaS capital of India. Our first attempt was an all-in-one project management tool, but we built it without talking to users—a big mistake. We then pivoted to digital asset management and later to document management. While building this, I realized we could integrate AI to generate insights from the stored data. We demoed it at a SaaS meetup, and while people liked the idea, we were asked, "Who is it for?"—and we didn't have a clear answer.

After further advice and some traction with 170 signups, we pivoted Filecentral.io into an AI-powered file storage solution for both B2B and B2C. But people mostly used it for storage, not the AI features. At another event, we were once again asked, "Who is it for?" and how we were different from Google Drive or Microsoft. A CTO at the event suggested selling the AI tech as a service, which intrigued me.

After lots of pivots and refactoring, I don't want to rebuild again. We started this as a document management solution and discovered that industries like chemical engineering actually use DMS tools. Current systems have poor UI/UX, high pricing, and users struggle to find documents. Our "Ask AI" feature helps users find, analyze, and summarize documents in natural language, and our pricing is much lower. However, we lack features like e-sign, workflows, and approvals—but I want to talk to potential buyers before building these features.

I want to focus on SMBs in construction, real estate, manufacturing, and industrial engineering. How do I find these people, set up meetings, and understand their needs before building?
Our eyes (+ brain visual processing) are way better than the vast majority of cameras you can buy, judged on things we care about in driving. Typically only high-end film cameras approach the dynamic range of our eyes, for example. The only major thing that even cheap cameras easily beat us at is zoom, but that is mostly irrelevant for this use case.
India for sure wasn't conquered that way. Yes, there was a lot of "divide et impera" going on, but just one simple example, the population of Bengal was about 40 million in 1800 while that of the UK was only around 10 million.

Britain didn't actually "overpower" India as much as gain traction by presenting themselves as a less bad alternative than some of the existing ones, for several major regions they conquered. They were even financed by major Bengali bankers for their conquest.

India was possibly the big outlier in this regard, ergo the whole "crown jewel of the empire" angle.
